Xiao Ding deliberately went to Yuqingmen to report to Yue Yurou and them, informing them that Li Wantong, the national teacher of the Great Xia Kingdom, might go to Yuqingmen to steal their sect's exercises.

He did not dare to speed fast for fear of exhausting the horses, so he delayed this trip for four or five days.

After returning to the inn where everyone had stayed, and resting for a while, they continued their journey.

This time there was nothing to do on the road, but it went well.

When he arrived in Jizhou, Xiao Ding suddenly remembered the master of Xuankuan of the King Kong Gate, and thought that if Li Wantong failed to obtain the practice of the Yuqing Gate, he might transfer to the next target, this King Kong Gate, that day was also in the sect mentioned by the disciple of the Tianwu Gate, maybe Li Wantong might come to the King Kong Gate.

So Xiao Ding deliberately went to the King Kong Gate again, met Master Xuanku, and told him what he had learned.

Master Xuanku folded his hands and chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, good and good, don't take good as small, don't take evil as small!" You can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people! Thank you Tian Shizhu for coming to deliver the letter in person, the old man is grateful! ”

Xiao Ding knew that Master Xuanku was sincerely grateful, but he was unwilling to talk too much with the old monk, so he immediately offered to leave.

The old monk retained, and Xiao Ding refused on the grounds that he had to get up early tomorrow morning to hurry, and then left the King Kong Temple and returned to the inn.

In the next few days, everyone traveled all the way south and soon arrived at Yanzhou City.

This Yanzhou City is the hometown of Bai Junfei and Zheng Dieer. Although the two of them were worried about their family members in their hearts, they did not dare to go home to visit them when they saw that the portraits of the two of them were still posted at the gate of the city.

In fact, the rumors have long passed at this time, and the city gate is not strictly checked.

Otherwise, Bai Junfei and Zheng Die'er would definitely be recognized when they passed by the city gate. Especially Bai Junfei, who is still driving the carriage, unlike Zheng Die'er sitting in the car.

The soldiers guarding the city gate seemed to have long forgotten about the arrest of Bai Junfei and Zheng Die'er, and they did not check passers-by, but just stopped at the city gate, silently, allowing passers-by to enter and exit freely.

After entering Yanzhou, everyone still found an inn to stay, and then went to the city to replenish the supplies needed along the way. Along the way, they also slept in the wilderness, so they also consumed a lot of food and forage for the horses. You don't need to buy other items, after all, tents, quilts and other things can be used repeatedly.

Yanzhou City is also Jiang's hometown, since he arrived in his hometown, Jiang proposed to take the child to the child's father's grave to pay respects, after all, one day husband and wife for a hundred days, Jiang and his ex-husband still have some feelings.

So, Liu San drove the car to pull the Jiang family and Tie Dan, and deliberately went out of the city to pay respects to Tie Dan's grave.

After Bai Junfei and Zheng Dieer arrived in Yanzhou, they almost didn't go out, for fear that once they were recognized, they would cause trouble. After all, Xiao Ding hasn't gone to tell the emperor about it yet.

Xiao Ding's journey, in addition to paying more attention to the dynamics of the second girl, is to sit in the car to practice, and when he returned to Yongzhou in the spring, he took the car to practice all the way back.

The second girl may be because it is the first time to go out, and while feeling novel, her mood is naturally a lot more relaxed. There were a few women in the same car chatting together, and they would also shout when they saw some unique scenery along the way.

Therefore, the second girl did not continue to cry along the way. Because I was tired from traveling during the day, I hardly had those sad dreams when I went to bed at night.

It was the first time for Xiao'e to walk such a long way, and she was surprised to see everything. Every time I pass by a state capital, there are different customs and customs, and people who speak with different accents, Xiao'e finds that there is something interesting and pulls the second girl to watch. Usually she has the best relationship with the second girl, so the first thing she wants to share when she encounters something new is to find the second girl.

Although Erniu doesn't like to talk much, Xiao'e doesn't feel much unusual. Because she feels novelty, the second girl also feels novelty. Both of them are small village girls with little knowledge.

Xiao Ding saw that the second girl did not continue to cry on the road, and his heart was a lot more relieved, and he was a little less worried.

I didn't stop much in Yanzhou City, and I left early the next morning.

Fortunately, there was no heavy snow on the way. This made it a lot easier for several people to hurry. Even the occasional small snowflake did not have much effect on their journey.

This winter, it looks like the Chinese New Year is coming, but there has not been much snow in both the south and the north. In the eyes of the villagers in the countryside, next year will definitely not be a good harvest year.

As the saying goes, "the snow is a good year", the snow is heavy in winter, and the snow water can moisten the land in the spring, so that the spring drought will not occur. If there is little snow in the winter, there will definitely be a drought in the spring of that year, which will directly affect the harvest of crops, so the experience of the villagers in the countryside is very reasonable.

Xiaoding has come all the way, but it doesn't matter if it snows in winter. He was bent on trying to get to Zhongzhou City before the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Therefore, they did not dare to delay on the road, and in order to hurry, sometimes they would rather miss the town store than walk an extra distance, anyway, there were several tents in his space, and when they were first bought, they were bought according to the number of people. But when I actually lived in it, I didn't need so many tents.

Because of the tenth winter wax moon, it is very cold to sleep in the wild. Even if there is a tent, it can't withstand the cold.

Therefore, they usually live in the same tent with at least two people, huddled together with each other, and covered with several layers of quilts, so as not to wake up from freezing.

After walking forward for a few more days, we have reached the territory of Zhongzhou.

On this day, the group came to a small town, and it was already evening, so they stayed in the only inn in the town.

Coincidentally, when everyone went to dinner in the hall on the first floor of the inn, Xiao Ding met an acquaintance again. Moreover, one encounter is two. It's still two old women who are not too young.

They are the old fairy Teng Snake that Xiao Ding has not seen for a long time, and the Meng Po with a ghost mask who likes to collect people's souls and use them to raise ghosts.

Xiao Ding didn't expect that these two old women would actually get together. They were also having dinner in the lobby on the first floor of the inn.

Xiao Ding and his party of eight or nine people, both men and women, came down from the upper floor, which was very attention-grabbing.

So, the two old women who were sitting there eating raised their eyes and saw Xiao Ding's group of people.

Teng Snake Old Immortal's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Xiao Ding, she had followed Xiao Ding all the way in order to snatch back the Red Refining Flame Fruit, and was later dumped by Xiao Ding. Then there were also rumors on the rivers and lakes that she had obtained the Red Refining Flame Fruit, so many people also found her head, which made her annoyed.

Later, on the way to Zhongzhou with Yuqingmen and others, Xiao Ding was intercepted by bandits from Feilong Mountain and Black Tiger Mountain when he passed by the intersection north of Sanshan Town. At that time, this old woman and the twenty-eight elders of Tianluomen were also among them. As a result, in that battle, Feng Yanyu was seriously injured by Xiao Ding, and the old woman saw that the situation was not good, and immediately fled.

As for that Meng Po, she almost kidnapped Zheng Die'er in Jizhou City, but fortunately Xiao Ding took action in time to save Zheng Die'er, and later when passing through a small village in Jinzhou, Xiao Ding met this Meng Po again and beat her away.

Now that more than half a year has passed, Xiao Ding doesn't know where the two have gone in the past six months, and why the two old women have made do together.

In fact, after the old immortal Teng Snake failed to intercept Xiao Ding and the others that day, he fled directly to the Spirit Castle. She and Wan Qixing, the owner of the Spirit Castle, are old acquaintances, and the two have a good relationship, and it was Wan Qixing who invited her to the Spirit Castle before.

And Meng Po is a person from the Spirit Castle, she is actually Wan Qixing's senior sister, but her martial arts are not as good as Wan Qixing's practice, and her mastery is not as good as Wan Qixing's, so Wan Qixing took over the position of the castle master.

After she was defeated by Xiao Ding, she also returned to Xuzhou Lingyou Castle, but unfortunately during this time, the owner of the fort, Wan Qixing, was invited by Shangguan Batian, the head of Tianluomen, to assist the king of Jiaozhou in his rebellion. It's not in the Phantom Castle.

Therefore, when she and Teng Snake Old Immortal came back this time, they didn't see Wan Qixing. The two old women have also met before, and they have heard of each other for a long time. So when they talked together, they all mentioned one person, that is, Tian Xiaoding.

Both of them regard Xiao Ding as their biggest enemy, so the two hit it off and decide to come out together to find Xiao Ding for revenge. At the same time, the Teng Snake Old Immortal had never given up the idea of snatching the Red Refining Flame Fruit. She knew that the Divine Fruit was something that ordinary people would not dare to take lightly. That's why she was so persistent in looking for Xiao Ding, thinking that the fruit must still be on Xiao Ding.

According to the information provided by Meng Po, it was said that Xiao Ding went to Jinzhou, so the two worked tirelessly to rush from Xuzhou to Jinzhou, and searched around in Jinzhou for two or three months, but there was still no news. As a result, the two gave up the idea of continuing to search in Jinju.

However, Teng Snake Old Immortal knew that Xiao Ding had a good relationship with King Mu in Zhongzhou, and later heard that the previous King Mu was now the new emperor, and there was a person named Tian Xiaoding who was named the protector of the country by the emperor. They weren't sure if Tian Xiaoding, who was named Hou Ye, was the person they were looking for. So they wanted to go back to Kyoto to investigate, maybe the person they were looking for was in Kyoto at this time, so the two turned back to Zhongzhou.

The two of them stayed in the ghost castle for a while, and spent a lot of time exploring around Jinju, plus the time delayed on the road, so almost half a year passed.

So they just walked to this town today, and by chance they didn't write a book, and they happened to meet Xiao Ding, whom they had been looking for for months.

As the saying goes: enemies are extra red when they meet!

When the two old women saw Xiao Ding, although they didn't have red eyes, they also gritted their teeth.

Teng Snake Old Immortal's withered yellow eyes glared at Xiao Ding, and said coldly: "Good boy, I have finally found you, hurry up and hand over the Red Refining Flame Fruit, otherwise I will definitely not spare you today." ”

Xiao Ding was also very surprised at first when he saw these two old women, but he soon calmed down. In the past, when he didn't break through his exercises, it might have been a little hard to beat the snake old immortal, but it was no problem to beat that Meng Po.

Now that he has taken his exercises one step further, he estimates that it should not be a problem to single any of these two old women. It's just that Meng Po is not very good at martial arts, but she has the means to recruit ghosts to help. This is the usual method of the people of their ghost castle.

However, the ghost is not very powerful, but people who don't know it will be frightened at first sight. Because people are often in awe of things that cannot be seen or touched. What's more, even if you can see a ghost, you can't hurt it with ordinary weapons, and you can only hurt it by using treasures like peach wood or magic artifacts.

Xiao Ding heard that the old immortal of Teng Snake had mentioned to him the matter of refining the flame fruit again, so he smiled and said, "Old witch, obviously you snatched the divine fruit, why do you always pester me to ask for it?" You swallowed it yourself and still didn't admit it, your cheeks are thick enough. ”

Teng Snake Lao Xian heard that Xiao Ding came to beat him again, and his nose was almost crooked, you know, since Xiao Ding released public opinion on the rivers and lakes that she got the Red Refining Flame Fruit, I don't know how many people in the rivers and lakes came to find her trouble, although she sent them away one by one, but that was also annoying, wasn't it?

She immediately stood up, clenched the dragon head crutch in her hand, and said sharply: "Okay, you stinky boy, you are very good at kung fu!" Will you hand over the Red Refining Flame Fruit? If you don't hand it over today, none of you people will want to leave here today. After speaking, she also pointed at the group of people behind Xiao Ding with her hand.

As soon as Bai Junfei, Ou Muyun and the others heard what the old woman said, they immediately drew their swords. Among them are also Erniu and Xiao'e.

On the side of the old fairy of Teng Snake, Meng Po with a ghost mask beside her, when she saw that the people on Xiao Ding's side had pulled out their swords, she immediately took off a soft whip from her waist and held it in her hand.

The people on both sides were tense and on the verge of breaking out. At this moment, the guy at the inn hurriedly ran over, waved at the people on both sides, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, if you have something to say slowly, don't fight in this house, if you break the things in this house, even if you are willing to compensate, I won't be able to buy these tables and stools for a while!" ”

When Xiao Ding heard this, he said to the old fairy of Teng Snake: "Let's go, let's go outside for a while." If you win me, I'll give you what you want. ”

Teng Snake Old Immortal looked at the shopkeeper, then at Xiao Ding, and said, "Okay, let's make a decision, don't regret it when the time comes!" ”

With that, she took the lead and walked out the door.

Meng Po, who was wearing a ghost mask, also walked out with a soft whip in her hand.

Xiao Ding looked back at the people behind him and said, "You don't all have to go out with me, as long as Brother Bai goes out and helps me stop the old witch wearing the mask." Xiao Ding fought two by one, and he didn't have a bottom in his heart, not to mention that Meng Po would also summon ghosts to come out to assist, so he called Bai Jun, who had the best martial arts among these people, to fly out to help him block one.

Bai Junfei agreed without hesitation, and the others were used to obeying Xiao Ding's command, but they didn't fight to go out. Only the second girl glanced at Xiao Ding affectionately, and said: "Xianggong, you have to be careful!" ”
