I haven't seen Bao Daoyi for a long time, and Fang Jie and Zheng Biao are not in a hurry, they just walk slowly in the direction of Deqing County.

Passing by a village, Fang Jie felt a little thirsty, so he planned to beg for a bowl of water to drink. As soon as he and Zheng Biao walked to the entrance of the village, they found that many villagers had gathered next to a pond and formed a circle. Through the gap in the crowd, I faintly saw some blood stains on the ground.

Fang Jie stepped forward, patted an old man on the periphery of the crowd, and asked, "This old man, I don't know what happened in your village?" How did everyone gather here? ”

When the old man heard his words, he turned around and glanced at him, then looked at Zheng Biao next to him, and said with some anger: "There was a demon Dao before, who claimed to be Lingying Heavenly Master, and said that he came to the village to accept apprentices, and somehow fell in love with the girl of the old Yao family. The girl's father went early, and only the mother and daughter depended on each other in the family, unwilling to go with him. hated that the demon Dao wanted to kidnap her, and her old lady intervened to stop her, but she was killed by the demon Dao with a demon method. ”

A woman on the side heard the conversation of several people, turned around and saw Zheng Biao, who was also dressed as a Taoist priest, pointed at him and shouted loudly: "Look, everyone, it was a demon who was dressed like him before!" If you dare to come to my village, do you still want to rob people? ”

Hearing the shouting, the villagers gathered around the two, and the women who had seen the Taoist immediately shouted.

"That's right! He is very similar to the way you are dressed! ”

"It's hateful that Qin Niang's bones are not cold yet, and the demon path has come to you again."

"Okay, dare to come! Bullying me that there are no men in the village, right? ”

"This man is not a good person with him, so everyone will work together to catch them and hand them over to the government together." ......

As the women shared their hatred, the men's faces gradually showed anger, holding hoes, wooden shovels, dung forks and other farm tools, and they were about to beat Fang Jie and Zheng Biao.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Fang Jie hurriedly glanced at Zheng Biao and asked him not to act rashly, and then shouted loudly: "Everyone has misunderstood!" Don't do it yet! Listen to me! After listening, I want to fight and kill, and I will not fight back. ”

The villagers saw that Fang Jie's demeanor was not like that of ordinary people, so they temporarily stopped the movements in their hands to see what he could explain.

"This Daoist is indeed the same door as that Demon Dao," Fang Jie pointed at Zheng Biao, "But it is not the same as that Demon Dao, this time I came with him from Jinhua Mountain to clean the portal for the Daomen." I found out that the demon Dao wanted to go to Deqing County before, but I waited for the pursuit to kill here, but it was still a step too slow. ”

Hearing this, the villagers immediately discussed. But he heard the woman ask, "How can we believe you without evidence?" ”

Fang Jie took out two silver tickets from his arms, held them in his hands and said, "This is two hundred taels of silver." One hundred taels of them were handed over to the village elders to arrange the funeral of the dead women. The remaining 100 taels were detained in the village as a deposit. If Daoist Zheng and I don't catch the demon Dao here within seven days to apologize to everyone, this hundred taels will be given to everyone as an apology. ”

Seeing that he was right, and took out the money, the villagers believed most of them and put down their weapons.

Then Fang Jie handed the silver ticket to the old man who had questioned him earlier, and left in a hurry with Zheng Biao.

When he left the village and saw that no villagers were coming up, Zheng Biao gave Fang Jie a thumbs up and said, "Brother Fang, you really have you!" ”

Fang Jie smiled: "I preached with the Manichaeans earlier, and compared to their methods, these things are just the tip of the iceberg, and they are not worth mentioning. ”

Then remembering Bao Daoyi's matter, Fang Jie's face froze, and he asked in a deep voice: "Let's say that your master, why did you act like this Meng Lang." It's just a matter of robbing people's daughters, why do you want to harm people's lives. In this special period, if someone finds out the details, ruins the reputation of the Holy Father, and affects the uprising, can you afford it? ”

Zheng Biao was questioned by him and felt quite innocent: "Brother Fang, don't be annoyed, the master has this hobby, and the Holy Father also knows about it." But don't worry, although the master is a bit extreme, he is thoughtful and has a lot of means, but any woman who has been with him will not become a handle for others to hinder him. ”

Fang Jie spat and nodded, "Just know the proportions." Everyone followed the Holy Father, as long as a new court was established, gold and silver treasures would definitely be indispensable. Bao Daochang likes women, and when he breaks the city of Hangzhou, the wives and concubines of those official gentry are not up to him to choose, as many as he wants. ”

Zheng Biao echoed: "That's that!" My master and apprentice will do their best to help the Holy Father accomplish great things. ”

Seeing his serious appearance, Fang Jie put his hand on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Zheng is so restrained, since he is doing things for the Holy Father, he is his own brother." ”

Zheng Biao also relaxed when he heard this, and laughed a few times.

With his previous experience, Fang Jie didn't dare to let Bao Daoyi mess around, and took Zheng Biao to quickly chase in the direction of Deqing.

After walking for three or five miles, the two of them vaguely saw the dust and black fog on the hill in the distance, and there was a white light and red light in the air.

"That's the master's Xuantian magic sword!" Zheng Biao said loudly.

Fang Jie also saw that there was someone fighting in the distance, glanced at Zheng Biao, and galloped towards the hill.

When he got closer, Fang Jie recognized the red sword that was fighting with the Xuantian Law Sword, it was Xu Ziling's Chixiao, and immediately shouted: "Stop!" ”

Hearing Fang Jie's voice, the two of them who were fighting fiercely stopped together.

Bao Daoyi waved his sleeves to collect the black mist that permeated the surroundings, Xu Ziling's figure suddenly appeared, Fang Jie saw that it was really him, and said in surprise: "Brother Xu, is it really you?" ”

Xu Ziling looked at Fang Jie and said in surprise: "Brother Fang! ”

Fang Jie glanced at Xu Ziling and Bao Daoyi, who were faintly facing each other, and said, "It's really a big flood that has washed the Dragon King Temple." They are all their own brothers, why did they fight? ”

Xu Ziling pointed to the unconscious girl on the side, and said to Fang Jie in a cold voice: "This old demon who robbed the people's daughter, is it from your Fang family?" ”

These words made Fang Jie a little helpless. In his opinion, robbing a woman is not a heinous thing, because what everyone has to do is the business of the Nine Clans, and this kind of trivial matter does not need to be put on the table, it is too hurtful and angry.

Afraid that Xu Ziling would misunderstand, Fang Jie had no choice but to say: "Daoist Bao is a subordinate of the Holy Father, and he can be regarded as a member of our family. But he did it for a reason, and let me explain it to you. ”

Xu Ziling tilted his head aside and stopped looking at Fang Jie.

Looking at his proud appearance, Bao Daoyi, who had endured for a long time, was about to scold, but saw Fang Jie stride to his side and say a few words in his ear, and his cold expression slowly eased.

At the beginning, Xu Ziling passed by this hill, and it happened that Bao Daoyi passed by with a girl, and accidentally saw the tears in the corners of the girl's eyes, and guessed that the girl was coerced to leave him. Seeing that Bao Daoyi was not an ordinary person, he hesitated to help, but remembered what the monk Pukong said to him, so he decided to make a move.

The magic used by this person was extremely evil, and he robbed the people's daughters, Xu Ziling had a very bad impression of him, and it was not until Fang Jie told him that the Taoist had fallen into Miao Jiang's obscene Gu poison that he temporarily let go of his prejudices, because he knew the terrible thing about that kind of Gu poison.

So Xu Ziling recalled Chixiao, who was still fighting with the Xuantian Law Sword in the air, and said to Bao Daoyi: "This Daoist, Brother Fang explained to me, and I also understand your distress, but you are also old, please respect yourself, don't harm these innocent women for the rest of your life." ”

Although Bao Daoyi didn't know what Fang Jie and Xu Ziling said, he could see that Fang Jie was towards Xu Ziling, because of the relationship between Fang Jie and Fang La, he had to temporarily suppress the anger in his heart, just snorted coldly, and looked for revenge in the future.

Xu Ziling then asked Fang Jie about his itinerary and Fang Baihua's whereabouts. Fang Jie didn't hide it, and told Xu Ziling everything he knew.

While the two were talking, the irritable Bao Daoyi took Zheng Biao and walked directly towards Deqing County. After Fang Jie and Xu Ziling finished talking, they hurriedly said goodbye and followed, it was not easy to be a peacemaker.

So only Xu Ziling and the unconscious girl were left on the hill.

When he fought with Bao Daoyi before, Bao Daoyi knocked her unconscious with one palm in order to prevent the girl from escaping. Xu Ziling was afraid that she would fall into a hidden illness because of this, so she had the luck to briefly check her body and found that there was no major problem with her, and she would wake up naturally within an hour or two. However, it was already dusk.

After sitting for a while, the sky was gloomy, Xu Ziling suddenly felt a little dry and hungry, picked up the water bag on his waist and took a sip, and found some firewood around, built a fire, and prepared to bake something to eat.

After the memory awakened, unlike before, Xu Ziling had much higher requirements for eating, even if he traveled a long distance, he would carry salt, cumin and other seasonings in his baggage. In order to prevent camping in the wild and not eating, I also bought some raw mutton, took a small cutting board, and a few iron skewers. But now, only a small piece of lamb remains.

While the girl had not woken up, Xu Ziling took out the cutting board, cut the mutton into thin pieces, skewered it with an iron skewer, and roasted it on the fire. After roasting, sprinkled with salt and cumin, Xu Ziling began to eat.

I had just eaten two bites, but I heard the girl by the fire muttering a few times, turned over, and went straight to the fire.

didn't have time to think about it, Xu Ziling held the mutton skewer in front of the fire and gently pushed the girl outward. The funny girl was safe and sound, but his drooping sleeves were set on fire, and he hurriedly threw himself with his other hand.

The girl was also awakened by this push, and quickly sat up after screaming, and happened to see Xu Ziling, who was holding a mutton skewer and extinguishing the flames on her sleeve, and was stunned.

After extinguishing the flames, Xu Ziling and the girl looked at each other, only to feel extremely embarrassed, and they didn't know whether to eat the mutton skewers in their hands or not.

"Thank you." The girl was the first to open her mouth, and her voice was like a trickle, crisp and beautiful.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Xu Ziling raised the mutton skewers in his hand and asked, "Do you want to eat it?" ”

Smelling the faint smell of meat, the girl swallowed her saliva and said, "Eat, I'm not hungry." ”

Xu Ziling couldn't see her careful thoughts, pointed to the unused iron skewer on the side, handed the mutton skewers over and said, "You can eat it, I've already eaten a lot." ”

In the night, the girl couldn't see whether the iron skewers were clean or not, and thought that he had really eaten them, so she took the lamb skewers he handed him and ate them in small bites.

"What's your name?" The girl asked as she ate.

"My name is Xu Ziling," Xu Ziling added a few wooden sticks to the fire, secretly paying attention to her expression, "What about you?" ”

"Yao Mengling," as soon as her name was mentioned, the girl who was eating meat skewers suddenly cried, "Woo woo woo ......"

Fang Jie told Xu Ziling about the girl before, he knew why she was crying, but there was nothing he could do. He had a similar experience, and he felt the despair and helplessness in it. Crying out is the best way to relieve it.

After crying and eating the mutton skewers, Yao Mengling handed the iron skewer to Xu Ziling, and then wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve.

Xu Ziling looked at her and said softly, "I'll send you back to the village later, and help you arrange your mother's funeral." ”

Yao Mengling nodded lightly, smacked his lips and said, "Xu, son, En...... Brother, do you have any water to drink? Your skewers are so salty. ”

Xu Ziling was stunned, took out a water bag and said, "I only have this one water bag......

Yao Mengling didn't care, snatched the water bag, opened the stopper, and drank it.

I don't know if it's because of the fire, but the pretty face of the girl drinking the water is getting more and more ruddy.

The night was dark, and there was silence all around. Suddenly, Xu Ziling heard a few "cooing" sounds in his stomach.
