Each place has different certification conditions for adventurers, and according to local conditions, this Yang Yanfeng has long known it.

And this time, the platinum-level adventurer certification qualification is set in the country of Philip, which can be described as both pros and cons.

The advantage is that they have already fulfilled one of them: they have at least one purple grade or higher weapon or equipment.

As for the downside, it's that the other three are too embarrassing.

Demon beasts that have begun to have spiritual wisdom and demon beasts that have cultivated for more than five hundred years are actually the same concept, and demon beasts need more than five hundred years of cultivation to begin to have spiritual intelligence, and vice versa.

As for its difficulty, Yang Yanfeng also knew it, because the last place they passed through before coming to the Philippines was the Bauhinia Forest, and the guardian there, the Bauhinia Blue Wolf, was a thousand-year-old demon beast.

Fortunately, at that time, he and Lan Yu obediently left the money to buy the road, and if they met with the Bauhinia Blue Wolf Army, they would not be able to get half of the benefits.

Although the demon beast with a five-hundred-year cultivation is definitely much weaker than the bauhinia wolf with a thousand-year-old cultivation, and he and Lan Yu are also much stronger than at that time, it does not mean that they can win easily, and the difficulty should be the same as the feeling of facing the bear monster and the boar king when they are admitted to the true qualification of a gold-level adventurer.

The black qi on the withered crow's body spread along with the coercion, and a circle of people couldn't help but retreat, and Su Ge's brows furrowed.

The strength of the middle level of the demon can be cultivated in just one step!

As the laughter of the dead crows ended, the huge square fell into silence for a long time.

"Little brother, you guys go first, thank you for today's matter..."Su Ge sighed, his gaze turned to Yang Yanfeng, "I will try my best to help you hold him down." ”

This was originally the grudge between the withered crow and the withered mulberry town, and Yang Yanfeng and the others had done enough to intervene and help as outsiders. Now it is really unreasonable to drag down the human trialists, considering the strength of the former, Su Ge can only say, "Help hold it for a while", which shows that he is not very sure.

"Deputy Mayor Su Ge said with a smile, if we leave now, then he will definitely chase after you are dealt with. Yang Yanfeng said lightly, "Do you think he won't be aware of so many of us and such a big target?"

"Ugh..."

"Haha, don't expect anyone to escape, today, you all have to die!"

Of course, the dead crow will not let go of any fish that slips through the net and is accused of breaking the demon agreement, even if he has the strength he has now, he can't afford it at all.

Su Ge closed his eyes and thoughts, trying to find a solution. He had already fought with the Withered Crow just now, and even the Withered Crow of the lower level of the Demon could easily clean himself up, not to mention that now the former had reached the middle level of the Demon Spirit.

"Old man, start with you!"

A sound of breaking wind sounded, Su Ge's eyes suddenly opened, and a black wind hit him straight towards him, and in the blink of an eye, he had reached a distance of a few feet in front of him.

"Yang Family Knife Technique - Upper Style, Mixed Dragon Spin!"

"Ink snakes!"

With a wave of his arm, the withered crow bounced away the chaotic dragon swirl wrapped in Dao Qi, and brutally broke through the shackles of the ink line, without slowing down at all.

"Uh..."

The moment the two moves were broken, Yang Yanfeng also sealed the bamboo and knelt on the ground, supporting his body with his sword.

Before dealing with the leading demon, the two had almost exhausted their Dao Qi, and the remaining Dao Qi was only enough to perform these two moves, but they were unexpectedly dissolved so easily.

"Why are you in such a hurry to die, then Lao Tzu will fulfill you!"

Although the two moves did not cause any harm to him, they made the dead crow feel very unhappy, so he changed his direction and blasted towards Yang Yanfeng again.

The black qi in his hand gradually condensed into a black crow's claw, as if the palm of his hand had expanded several times. If this blow was imprinted on Yang Yanfeng's chest, the latter would inevitably end up with broken ribs.

Seeing that the black crow's claws were constantly enlarged in his pupils, Yang Yanfeng didn't even have the strength to raise his sword to resist, and the battle with Shen Cheng was not over yet, and he had a big fight with the leading demon, and now he was completely prostrate.

"Brother!!

Yang Yanxi struggled to pass, Fu Miaomiao had to forcibly hold her in her arms, how could she not be anxious in her heart? But anxiety does not mean that she has lost her mind, if she lets Yang Yanxi pass, her strength and her strength will only be a mantis arm as a car, and when she dies, it will be two people.

"Hey, do you want to kill your master!, why don't you go up and help!?" the masked warrior shouted at Lan Xun, although the former said that there would be someone to help, and there was no need to show his strength for the time being, but now that his eyebrows were burned, how could he calm down!

But while the masked warrior was shouting from the sidelines, Lan Xun was still staring at the changes in the square.

He shot ....

"Are you going to be planted here...", as if accepting the ending, Yang Yanfeng slowly closed his eyes.

However, in the next second, there was no expected pain, and when I opened my eyes, I saw an old figure standing in front of me.

"Young man, you're doing a great job. “

The old man tilted his head slightly, smiled at Yang Yanfeng behind him, and then gently leaned forward with one hand in the latter's surprised gaze, and the seemingly thin and weak hand actually carried the giant claw formed by the condensation of black qi from the dead crow!

"Old sir, you...."

The old man's cultivation Yang Yanfeng still can't see through it, but the faint momentum is not weaker than that of the withered crow.

"Hey, Xuandao Wupin?" The moment the old man came to the rescue, the masked warrior sensed the former, and what he didn't expect was that there was such an elderly Taoist priest in the demon world.

The moment he saw the old man, the crow's expression instantly froze.

"No... No way... You damn old man is still alive!!"

Pushing the crow back in mid-air, it was repelled more than a dozen feet away. The old man sighed, which seemed to contain infinite sadness and sorrow.

"I thought that after more than ten years, you would finally understand my good intentions, but I didn't expect you to fall deeper and deeper on the crooked road. “

"Dead old man, shut up! If it weren't for you, how could Lao Tzu be wandering outside, and he has been wandering for more than ten years!" the crow roared.

"Alas... Well, since it was the scourge I caused in the first place, let me put an end to it..."

"Heh.... Hehehehe....." Hearing this, the crow covered the upper half of his face and laughed mockingly, with a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

"You're still so self-righteous, let me bury your conceit with my own hands today!"

Before the words fell, the disdain at the corner of the crow's mouth turned into Sen Leng, and the surging demonic qi in his body burst out and shot towards the old man, and where he swept by, there were even a few wisps of black smoke rising up.

At the same time, the old man also quickly urged the Dao Qi in his body to meet the attack.

The two intersected, and the square was filled with an explosion.

The old man's Xuandao five grades are exactly the same level as the middle level of the demon of the dead crow. The strength of the withered crow and this mysterious old man should be between the best, but the withered crow has just been promoted to the middle level of the demon, and the way is not a legitimate means, resulting in his cultivation being a little vain and unstable. Whenever they stepped on the ground, the stone slab would crack a little, which showed the strength of the force.

The three trialists who had originally gathered in the square all consciously retreated, this level of battle was no longer something they could involve, and if they went in to help the old man, it would be useless, and it might become a burden.

In the midst of the inseparable battle, Yang Yanfeng was keenly aware of the difference between the two looks, the old man had no waves, and the withered crow became more and more hideous. The latter's eyes were full of violence, as if he couldn't wait to tear the old man in front of him apart.

"It seems that these two people have already had a .....holiday," Yang Yanfeng thought, what was the reason why this withered crow hated the old man so much?

After a short while, the old man was repulsed some distance, and the crow followed. The moment he saw the old man's two heads forming a Dao Qi barrier, ready to resist his tricks, the corners of the withered crow's mouth hooked up with a touch of cunning.

The shadow suddenly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was already behind the old man.

"Old man, you're dead!"

It was just a trick just now, but in fact, his true body had already moved out of position, and the black qi that was several times richer than before was condensed in his hand, and the black crow claw did not hesitate to buckle down on the former's head.

If this trick hits, it will inevitably make the old man's ** explode.

Under the frightened gaze of the user, Crowpaw finally made contact with the old man's body, and some of the female members of the family covered their eyes with their hands.

Surprisingly, the bloody scene that everyone imagined did not happen, and the crow's claw pierced the old man's body directly through the top of his head.

"Phantom!?"

The crow was startled and jerked back.

"You've thought too little about it, and you still haven't learned what I taught you. “

At this time, a milky white ball of light the size of a human head was already suspended in the old man's hand, and it was thrown towards the dead crow.

"Damn old man, you're playing tricks on me again!!"

This kind of ball of light requires a strong person above the Xuan Dao to operate Dao Qi to condense it, and it is extremely powerful, and the only drawback is that it takes a lot of time. The old man had already condensed the ball of light through the time just now, and once the ball of light was formed, it was naturally not something that the crow that had just sensed that something was wrong could dodge.

Forced into desperation, the latter had no choice but to urge the demonic qi in his body to the palm of his hand, quickly forming a black qi barrier, and watched the ball of light explode in front of his eyes.

The light of the explosion made people unable to open their eyes, and when it gradually subsided, a pit several feet in diameter appeared before everyone's eyes, and the withered crow was lying in the middle of the pit, covered in rags and full of burn marks, and the skin was disgusting with black burn marks mixed with blood.

"Is he dead...?"

Yang Yanfeng looked at the somewhat outrageous deep pit, it was hard to imagine that this was a destructive power that could be reached by manpower, and the master of the Xuan Dao was so strong!

Although the demonic energy net is temporarily outlined to defend, it is estimated that the end will be miserable if you hit this trick. And that's exactly the case, the dead crows at this time only have the role of twitching in the deep pit.

"Something is wrong!"

Looking at the withered crow Shaoqing, Mo Fengzhu's eyes suddenly shrank, and he was kind to everyone behind him, and the trialists of the three families also subconsciously retreated with the former's order.

As soon as everyone retreated a few steps, there was a sound of breaking wind from the deep pit, and a black-red blood shadow swept straight into the air.

"Hahaha, dead old man, I said more than ten years ago that I would destroy everything for you when I come back!" The withered crow spread its black wings, suspended in mid-air like a demon, and said one at a time, "Today, even if I die, you will be in pain!"

With that, the cobweb-like black demonic aura gradually spread out from its body, enveloping the entire square.

"Is this!?" a hint of surprise flashed across the masked warrior's face, "How could he have such power!"

"It's true that he doesn't have this kind of power, but the four demons have this power when they blow themselves up together. Lan Xun said lightly.

”！“

Self-exposure is the demon clan and the Taoist priest before the death of the counterattack, although after the cast will be invisible, but in a short period of time, the user's previous strength can be multiplied geometrically, and the harm caused by it should not be underestimated. Demons have demons, Dao has Dao souls, whether it is demons or Dao souls, they all belong to their origin power, or they are the origin, and breakthroughs in cultivation are inseparable from this thing.

When a demon or Dao soul explodes, the aura concentration essence accumulated day and night before will be released in an instant, and the consequences can be imagined.

Looking at the withered crow in mid-air, Lan Xun's pretty face added a touch of solemnity for the first time in a long time, "This withered crow has just improved its cultivation by absorbing three demons under its command The demon method is the forbidden art of the demon clan, and it was all oppressed by strong cultivation before, but just now I fell for that old way, I am afraid that there is no way to suppress these three demons." ”

Three demons, three souls. Coupled with the crow's own demonic spirit, the four souls reside in the same body, and there will inevitably be conflicts.

His body is like a hierarchical palace, originally one spirit was on top, and the three spirits surrendered, but now that the main spirit has been hit hard, the three spirits naturally began to be restless.

"I have long known that this demon method is self-defeating, but he still insists on practicing, it seems that he has no intention of leaving alive..."Lan Xun sighed lightly, "But he is very good at wishful thinking, and he actually wants to pull the entire square of people as backs." ”

"Then what are you doing in a daze! Go and save people!!"

Hearing this, the masked warrior was even more anxious, and seeing that Lan Xun was still indifferent, he had no choice but to shoot towards the black net that shrouded the square, but halfway through, a huge water curtain appeared out of thin air in front of him.

"You woman is so arrogant, if you don't save people and get in my way, do you want to kill your master!!" The masked warrior turned and roared at Lan Xun, undisguised his anger.

"If you go up now, it's just to increase the speed of the crow's self-detonation. “

"What!?"

"This black net is formed by the burning spirit of the dead crow, and you destroy it is equivalent to detonating this **. “

"This...."The masked warrior was speechless, and could only stare at the people in the square, but he was powerless.

"Don't worry, that old man won't let him do that. "Now, Lan Xun can only count on the only person in the field who has the strength to fight against him.

In the square, the black net made everyone tremble, and the closer they got to this net, the more they felt a cold demonic aura.

The old man stood with his hands in his hands, the crow's actions did not make him feel much panic, and a trace of sadness flashed inadvertently in Gujing Wubo's eyes.

"Let me end the sins I have caused..."

At the end of the words, a vast Dao Qi rushed straight into the sky from its heavenly spirit, and its momentum was not inferior to the black net of the withered crow.

"Hmph, I'd like to see how you dead old man can stop my demon from blowing himself up!"

As the burden of the black net on the demon continued to increase, the withered crow did not delay any longer, and with a burst of arrogant laughter, the darkness on his body became more and more dazzling, and finally swallowed his whole body. The deafening sound of explosions spread through the air, and the aftermath alone blew away the tables and chairs and other items around the square, causing the surrounding mulberry trees to collapse.

Lan Xun gave birth to a water curtain with his bare hands and placed it in front of him, easily blocking the menacing air waves.

The scope of the self-explosion filled the entire square, and when the turmoil subsided, the scene in front of them would probably be eye-catching.

The huge square had been reduced to a sand pit in the explosion, and the pit that the old man had created with the ball of light before was undoubtedly nothing compared to this sand pit.

There were no fragments left of the slate, but turned into powder and drifted in the wind, and the dust filled the entire bunker, obscuring the view.

The masked warrior's heart seemed to be in his throat.

"The host...."

The dust slowly cleared, and more than a dozen figures appeared in the center, and one of the sand pits was intact, and a tower-like clearing was shrouded in a golden light. At this time, the dead crows were probably not even left with scum in the explosion just now, and Yang Yanfeng saved their lives under the full defense of the old man.

"Whew...."

Although the look on her face had always pretended to be calm, she was far more worried about Yang Yanfeng in her heart than the masked warrior, and she was really relieved to see the former out of danger with her own eyes.

Withdrawing the golden light into his palm, a mouthful of red blood spurted out of the old man's air, and when Su Ge saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward and held the old man with a somewhat unsteady pace.

"Old fellow... It's been more than ten years, and you're finally back. Su Ge's face welled up with indescribable joy, and even tears oozed from his eyes.

"Who is this old gentleman?" Although Yang Yanfeng had roughly guessed that this mysterious old man must have some relationship with Kusang Town through what had just happened, Su Ge's tearful reaction was really a bit unexpected for him.

"He's the mayor of Kusang Town. Su Ge replied tearfully, the parting that had been too long in the past and the unexpected reunion today made him unable to control his emotions.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell into a short period of sluggishness, since they arrived in Kusang Town, they have not seen the deputy mayor of the town, but this mayor is very mysterious and has never appeared. The vacant position next to Su Ge should have been prepared for him, although he knew that the former would not come, but he still had a glimmer of hope.

"Why haven't you ever mentioned the mayor?"

Mo Fengzhu rubbed his chin and asked Su Ge, and the latter was speechless for a while, and he didn't know where to start.

"Little Daoyou, can you go with the old man?"

Breaking the rather awkward atmosphere, the old man glanced at the people who had tried the trial, and finally stopped at Yang Yanfeng.

"Me?"

Yang Yanfeng pointed at himself uncertainly with a questioning tone, and the old man's sudden request made him a little confused.

At this time, Yang Yanxi stood in front of him, and said suspiciously, "What are you looking for my brother!?"

"Hahaha, don't worry, the old man is just talking to your brother about trivial matters. “

Regarding Yang Yanxi's actions, the old man couldn't laugh or cry, and then stroked his gray beard and looked at the blue smoke behind Yang Yanfeng, "Besides, even if the old man harms your brother's thoughts, I'm afraid he doesn't have that ability." “

The turmoil of the competition lasted until the evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the ground through the yellow mulberry forest.

Yang Yanfeng stepped on the path paved with mulberry leaves, followed behind the mayor, looked at the back of the former, and couldn't help but feel a little familiar.

"Have I seen him?"

As soon as the question germinated, he shook his head to put this nonsense aside, he and the mayor met for the first time, and there was definitely no intersection before.

The deeper he went, the more he felt that the surrounding environment was quiet, this trail Yang Yanfeng had never been to, nor would he have thought that there was such a suitable place for cultivation in Kusang Town.

Walking to a small courtyard, the mayor stopped abruptly.

"It's here. ”

There were still two or three fallen mulberry trees standing in the courtyard, and in the center there was a simple wooden house, in front of which there was only a stone table and two stone benches, and on the stone table there were mulberry leaves brought by the breeze.

Yang Yanfeng and the mayor sat on either side of the stone table, and after the latter took his seat, he closed his eyes and ignored the former.

"Old sir, that...."

Yang Yanfeng waited for a long time and didn't see the other party speak, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart. The mayor of the town came to him for some reason, but he didn't say a word, isn't this Nima a trick!

After half a ring, the mayor slowly opened his closed eyes, "What do you see here?"

"Is the surrounding environment here?" Yang Yanfeng scratched his head and looked around, "Mulberry leaves, mulberry trees, wooden houses, stone tables and stone benches." ”

"Is that all?" the mayor's eyes flashed with inexplicable meaning.

Otherwise... I guess that's all there is to it. No matter how much Yang Yanfeng observed, there was nothing else.

"Close your eyes and look again. ”

"Huh!?"

Isn't it true that you can't see anything when you close your eyes? With such doubts in his heart, Yang Yanfeng still did according to the former's words.

At first, it was only dark, but as the gentle sound of the wind surrounded my ears, my impetuous heart gradually calmed down. Everything around me seemed to be slowly disappearing, first the mulberry forest, then the mulberry leaves on the ground, and then only a small courtyard remained. The fence around the courtyard is gone, and the wooden house in the center of the courtyard is gone, leaving only two stone benches, a stone table, and two.

Eventually, the mayor on the other side was gone, and the stone bench and table were gone. In the darkness, he was left alone, still sitting in his original position.

It's lonely......

In this darkness, no matter how much I shouted, no one answered, and all I heard in my ears was my own echo.

When he opened his eyes, a teardrop rolled down from the corner of his eye.

Hey?

I was not sad in my heart, why tears filled my eyes.

"How long has it been since I closed my eyes?"

"A quarter of an hour. The mayor replied lightly, and at this time there was an indescribable joy on the old man's face.

A quarter of an hour....

Yang Yanfeng thought back to the darkness just now, and there was an illusion that he was in a different world.

Hundreds of generations of reincarnation, a leaf knows autumn.

"Do you know an allusion to a human being?"

"Sir, please advise. “

"When I go to the countryside, I look like a rotten Ke person. “

In the Jin Dynasty, there was a man named Wang Qian, who went up the mountain to chop wood one day as usual. I saw a boy and a man playing Go on a boulder by the stream, so he put the axe used to chop wood on the ground by the stream and stopped to watch. After looking at it for a long time, the boy said, "You should go home," and when he got up to get the axe, he saw that the handle of the axe had rotted, and the sharpened axe was rusty and uneven. Wang Zhen is very strange. When I returned home, I found that my hometown had changed a lot. No one recognized him, and several old men said that it was hundreds of years ago.

"When your mind is preoccupied with what you are focused on, you lose track of time. This is the first realm. The mayor continued, "When you forget everything around you, you have no distractions. This is a higher realm. “

”！“

Hearing this, Yang Yanfeng realized the town mayor's intention to make him close his eyes, Wang Zhen was attracted by the chess game, and strayed into the fairyland, and when he returned to his hometown, he was already a person. And he was swept away by the breeze just now, and when he came back to his senses, he felt that a hundred lives had passed.

"The old man is not wrong, he has the comprehension of heaven at a young age. The mayor stroked his gray beard and smiled with relief.

"Heavenly Dao!" Yang Yanfeng couldn't help but be surprised as soon as the word entered his ears, he only had a general understanding of Xiang Ziji's description at first, and only after he came into contact with the Tao did he understand that it was out of reach. It is not easy to ascend to a grade above the ecliptic, let alone the legendary realm of heaven and man.

And if you want to enter the Heavenly Dao, an indispensable point is the comprehension of the Heavenly Dao, which is also the reason why many masters at the peak of the Authentic Dao have stopped in their cultivation.

The epiphany that the mayor sent him today, if Yang Yanfeng really reached that point in the future, it would be easier to break through the bottleneck.

"Thank you for the kindness of the old man!" After understanding the former's intentions, Yang Yanfeng hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.

"The only thing that puzzled him was that this mayor only had the strength of the five grades of the Xuan Dao, how could he have the comprehension to advance to the Heavenly Dao?"

This question lingered in Yang Yanfeng's heart for a long time.

As if he saw what Yang Yanfeng was thinking, the town mayor sighed in amazement, "The old man's qualifications are ordinary, and he can only reach such a point after practicing for nearly a hundred years. But the sky didn't treat me badly, but I stayed here for a long time, and faced with the scenery of winter and spring, insects and snow all the year round, the old man also had an epiphany of the impermanence of the world and the endless truth of spring and autumn, so as to understand a little bit of the skin of heaven. ”

Qualifications are the most unfair in practice, but they are also essential, which is why there is a saying that "diligence comes first, qualification comes second, and background is light". ，

Looking at Yang Yanfeng, who was deep in thought, the mayor couldn't help but smile and said, "How about it, do you want to hear the old man's previous story?"

"If the old gentleman doesn't mind..."

To be honest, Yang Yanfeng was very curious about the past of Kusang Town and the withered crow, but judging from the previous battles and conversations between the mayor and the withered crow, the former seemed to be reluctant to mention this matter, so he was also very interested and didn't ask much.

"Although the demon clan and the human race signed a contract thousands of years ago, agreeing not to invade each other, this does not mean that they do not interact with each other, occasionally there will still be many demons mixed into the human society to make a living, and there is no shortage of Taoist priests to travel to the demon world. As long as it does not harm lives, the authorities above adopt an attitude of turning a blind eye. “

"The old man's name is Kuyang, and although his family is not a very famous cultivation family, he can barely squeeze into the ranks of first-class families. Like the same sect, he has been cultivating since he was a child, but as he grows older, the gap with his peers gradually appears, when the old man has reached the age of more than seventy years, many senior brothers have reached the peak of the Xuan Dao and even broken through the tunnel, but they can still only wander in the three grades of the Xuan Dao. “

"The family saw that the old man was old, and gave him the title of elder out of respect, but even if they didn't say it, the old man understood that it was just out of pity. The cultivation of the three grades of the Xuandao is not even as good as that of some outstanding juniors in the family, so what contribution can they make to the family?"

In the end, the old man still went to the demon world without telling everyone, wanting to try his luck, maybe he could meet some good opportunities. Soon after I came here, I was lucky enough to find this suitable place to practice. The predecessor of Kusang Town was several separate small villages, and there were a lot of monsters in this area, which would intrude on the lives of the villagers from time to time, and the old man helped some villagers passing by to kill the monsters chasing them. ”

"Over time, I have become acquainted with the villagers in this area. After they were saved, the grateful eyes always warmed the old man's heart, and I don't know when I stopped practicing so desperately all day and night, and occasionally went to the villagers' homes as guests and chatted about family life. In the end, with the admiration and support of several village chiefs, several scattered villages were merged and he took on the post of town mayor. ”

"Maybe everyone has their own destiny, although they don't have the opportunity to continue to rise and enjoy the glory of being proud, the warm atmosphere in the town is also very interesting. ”
