Wang Dabao glared at Qian Xiu with a slight resentment, and after sticking out his tongue, he continued to concentrate on driving. Due to the poor road conditions at that time, although it was not very far between the two places, it was still a few hours by car.

"Ruyi, have you been to Chengde, how is it there?" asked Qianxiu.

"I've been there, it's a very beautiful city! And it's also a royal summer resort in the Qing Dynasty. There are not only well-known summer resorts at home and abroad, but also a series of interesting places such as the Eight Temples! After graduating last year, I went there to play. Especially the Manchu Eight Bowls there, which are rare delicacies!"

"Oh, I know the Manchu Eight Great Bowls you said. I ate it once when I was in Kuancheng. By the way, have you ever been to the mallet village that Rufei said?"

"I haven't been, but I know about Bangmao Mountain. ”

"Oh, Bangmao Mountain! How can there be such a strange name for the mountain, does this mountain look like a big mallet?"

"Well, that's it. In fact, Bangmao Mountain is also called Chime Hammer Peak. It is the name given by Emperor Kangxi, and it is commonly known as Bangmao Mountain locally. What if you want to say that there is a beautiful legend in this chime hammer peak?"

"Oh, what legend?"

"It is said that the place of Chengde was a vast sea a long time ago, and the Chime Hammer Peak was the eye of the sea. There was a dragon girl who fell in love with a young man who was fishing, but the dragon king did not agree that his daughter would live with a mortal. In desperation, the dragon girl went back to the Dragon Palace and stole the Dinghaishen Needle to plug the sea eye, Chengde became land, and the Dinghaishen Needle became a mallet mountain. Later, the Jade Emperor was furious when he learned about this, and sent the heavenly soldiers and generals to arrest the dragon girl, and the dragon girl was reluctant to swear that young man to die, so he was turned into a mulberry tree by the heavenly soldiers and generals. This tree grows halfway up the Chime Peak. It's said to be hundreds of years old!"

"Well, it's a very touching legend! People, they all yearn for beautiful love!" Qian Xiu seemed to point out, turned his head and glanced at An Ruyi and said.

"Alas, Dabao, Uncle Baohua is also in Chengde, this time after dealing with Rufei's matter, just go to see him, and the three of us will also get together. ”

"Mmmm, that's a good feeling! I said bring Big Brother with you, so that Baohua is also envious?"

"You! You will never be able to change the stinky problem of Edser! Could it be that Uncle An's "corn paste" teaching has no effect on you at all?

"Eh, that's right, Qianxiu is down to business. When it comes to Borrelsh, I also think of the legend of a mallet mountain. He learned from us when he went home for the Chinese New Year last year. But what Baohua said is not the same as the version that Sister Ruyi just said, he said that the legend of Bangmao Mountain is related to a toad essence. ”

"Oh, what did he say? Qian Xiu was a little impatient, and urged anxiously: "Why are you still involved with the toad mirror?"

Seeing that Wang Dabao finally had a chance to perform, he immediately shook his head and began to learn.

"It is said that when Dayu controlled the water, he passed through Chengde. In the process of controlling the water in Chengde, he found that there was a toad essence, which always came out to make trouble. No matter how much water he excreted during the day, he let the toad essence suck it back at night. So Dayu was angry and took a mallet for laundry. With a stick, the toad was beaten into a stone toad. Dayu was afraid that the toad essence would resurgce in the future, so he turned the mallet into a mountain to deter the toad mirror. That's why Chengde has today's Bangmao Mountain.

In fact, Bangmao Mountain was originally a mallet. And the toad stone on the side of Bangmao Mountain is the toad essence. Therefore, in Chengde, there has always been a saying that the mallet mountain falls, the toad stone runs, and the monk crowns the hat mountain hangs slag grass. ”

"Hey, these are all made up out of thin air, not to be believed!" An Ruyi said.

"Yes, there are some legends that cannot be fully believed. However, everything in the world has spirituality! It is still very possible for some living beings to become mountain spirits and wild monsters through diligent cultivation! Qian Xiu leaned back in his chair and said worriedly.

"Qian Xiu, you said that Liu Rufei was a Heavenly Master and asked you for help, is the opponent he encountered this time particularly powerful?"

"Perhaps......"

Bangmao Village is a small mountain village located between Chime Hammer Peak and Toad Rock, named after its proximity to Bangmao Mountain.

In this ordinary mountain village, clouds have shrouded everyone in the past few days. For six consecutive days, six people have died in the village one after another, and the cause of death is unknown!

Liu Rufei, the eldest disciple of the Ethereal Spirit Sect in Dawudang, Hubei. At this time, he was lying weakly in the home of a farmer in Bangmao Village. His handsome face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, and it was obvious that he had suffered a heavy blow.

"Ahem... Cough... , Uncle Zhang, what time is it?" asked Liu Rufei weakly, and a busy old man in the room asked.

The old man in his sixties heard Liu Rufei's question and hurriedly came to the front. said, "It's almost nine o'clock." How do you feel, young man?"

"I'm fine, don't worry, Uncle Zhang. ”

"Hey, you young people now, you really can't help it! You said that you are so sick, what friends do you have to wait for if you don't go to the hospital?" the old man complained.

"Uncle Zhang, my injuries can't be treated in the hospital, and it won't help to go. ”

"Oh, I remember you telling me. It's not okay for people to get older! What you just said will be forgotten for a while, you see my memory. ”

While the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and then Wang Dabao's voice was heard: "Is this Zhang Youcai's family?"

"Dabao, come into the house. Liu Rufei's face was overjoyed: "Uncle Zhang is my friend!"

Zhang Laohan walked out of the house quickly and welcomed the three of them into the house. The three people who walked into the house were none other than Wang Dabao, Qian Xiu and An Ruyi.

When Qian Xiu saw Liu Rufei, whose face was bloodless, he was immediately taken aback: "Rufei, what's the matter?

"Exactly, if it weren't for the emergency, I wouldn't have bothered you to come all the way to help. "Rufei replied.

"What, the soul is damaged?" Wang Dabao was also secretly surprised. The damage to the mage's soul is far more terrible than the physical injury! There are only two possibilities for this situation, one is to be attacked by a mage of the same strength, and the other is to be persecuted by monsters. It is said that Liu Rufei is already in the realm of a heavenly master, and he rarely meets opponents. Even if it's a monster, how terrifying the strength of that demon is.

"Rufei, tell me what's going on?" asked Qian Xiu eagerly, his concern overflowing.

It turned out that Liu Rufei listened to the conversation between the two waiters in the hotel that day, and went straight to Bangmao Village. He managed to see the body of the deceased, as said. The deceased had no scars on his body, but as a celestial master, he immediately discovered the clues. None of the three souls of the deceased are still in the body, and even the ghost spirits (human souls) that guard the corpse after death do not know where to go.

Rufei, who found something suspicious, immediately cast a spell to summon the spirits of the dead. But strangely, the souls of the dead seem to have been detained. No matter how he cast the spell, the soul of the dead did not move at all. Seeing that the matter had come to this, Rufei, who was helpless, had no choice but to live in Bangmao Village first. In the middle of the night, Rufei, who had entered the state of cultivation, suddenly smelled a strong demonic qi coming into the village. In view of the mage's vocation, he immediately went out of his body and followed the demonic aura all the way to the past.

Rufei, who was out of the body, found that there was a humanoid monster with a short body, small limbs, and a big belly, which was holding a person's three souls hostage. Rufei, who was furious, immediately fought with the humanoid monster. The humanoid monster saw that it was invincible and flew under the hard battle, so it turned around and fled. Liu Rufei chased after him, and after chasing to the toad stone, a group of people with advanced cultivation suddenly poured out of the toad hole. These people were all masked in black scarves without saying a word, and immediately helped the humanoid monster deal with Rufei.

Although Liu Rufei is in the realm of a heavenly master, how can he be so powerful that there are many people on the other side, and there is that monster on the side. Under the fierce battle, the opponent and the humanoid monster finally gained the upper hand. And Rufei is in a spirit body state, and he can't hold a magic weapon to fight. Just as he was negligent, the humanoid monster seized an opportunity and inflicted heavy damage on Rufei's spirit body. Liu Rufei, who was hit hard, had no choice but to escape. When the men saw him fleeing, they did not chase him. Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable!

An Ruyi listened to Liu Rufei's story on the side, and the sensitivity of the police made her immediately ask: "Rufei, do you know who those people besieged you are?"

Before Rufei could answer, Qian Xiu immediately said, "Don't worry about those things yet, I'll heal him first." Soul damage is not a trivial matter, and it will be annoying if it drags on for too long!"

"Then there is Brother Lao Qianxiu, who will consume mana for me. Liu Rufei said politely.

"What's the matter, we're buddies! Sensei said a little bit of mana, it's something precious, how can I be reluctant to give up my brother if he's in trouble!"

If a mage's soul is damaged, he must have a mage of the same realm and spend mana to heal his wounds. And mana is the accumulation of the mage's diligent practice, and for the mage, mana is far more important than money. There is another way, that is, the other side flower on the Huangquan Road also has the effect of repairing the soul. But once I go back, I don't know how much time it will take. Besides, Qian Xiu has a grudge with the master who guards the Ghost Gate, and if you want to enter Huangquan Road, the Ghost Gate Pass is the only way to go. Naturally, humble cultivation will not take such a effort.

At the moment, Qianxiu is not talking nonsense. With a little bit of mana to nourish the injured spirit body of Liu Rufei. More than an hour later, Rufei's pale face finally appeared with blood. With the appearance of a few blushes, Rufei gradually became energetic: "Qian Xiu is almost over, you can stop it." ”

"It's okay, just hold on for a while. "The sweaty humble cultivation, without stinging on his mana, still continued to instill in Rufei's body. He didn't stop until he felt that the anger was faintly floating.

Looking at Liu Rufei at this time, his face was radiant and vigorous, and he was immediately like two people in his previous sick state! "Brother Qianxiu, I don't thank you for my great kindness! I have written down today's grace!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I said we were buddies! I think when we were in the ghost gate, you and I never knew each other, didn't you also make a righteous move!"

"Yes, yes, what kind of money, mana, it's all floating clouds in front of buddy affection!" Wang Dabao interjected at the right time. Everyone looked at each other and smiled.

Later, An Ruyi said: "Rufei, what did you say about the humanoid monsters, the people who besieged you, and the people who died in the village of Bangmao in a few days, what is the connection?"

"Yes, what kind of person dares to mix with a monster, and that monster has repeatedly mutilate people's lives?" It's all like a mystery, and everyone in the room is puzzled!
