310 Demons and rats are infested

Shihu Town, located in the north of Dixuan Peak, adjacent to the Million Demon Mountain, belongs to Qingjiang County, Feiyun City, it is said that thousands of years ago, here is a poor mountain and evil ridge, monsters are rampant, the living conditions of the people are extremely sinister, but I don't know when? From the depths of the Million Demon Mountain, a lion and tiger beast came out, which was actually quite human, acting as the protector of the people, and driving away the demon beast cleanly.

Since then, the people live and work in peace and contentment, multiply, cold and summer, after several easy spring and autumn, form a rich market town, and soon become the center of Qingjiang County, people miss the lion tiger beast, hereby named the lion tiger town.

The land of Shihu Town is fertile, and it has always been abundant, and it is the end of June, but the wheat in the field is still not harvested, and the yellow ears of wheat are beaten by the rain, and immediately new malt grows from the ears of wheat, and flocks of birds and birds are jumping in the wheat field.

Suddenly, the birds flew into the air like a cloud, and on the official road on the side of the road, there was a group of fierce sword-wielding guards walking quickly, their expressions were extremely serious, and they looked fierce.

Among the sword-wielding guards, there were two people in a cluster, the one in front was a white-haired old man in an official robe, and the one in the back was a clear-faced monk in a green shirt.

Looking at the golden ears of wheat, the white-haired old man looked worried, and said with a sigh: "Senior Brother Huo, seeing that the wheat is rotting in the ground, but there is no way to harvest it, it is really a waste. ”

The monk surnamed Huo frowned, took two steps forward and carefully checked, and sure enough, he found that a lot of wheat was rotten in the ground, allowing birds and voles to spoil it.

But that's not all, after he had been observing for a while, his eyes suddenly froze, and within the sight of a hamster the size of a wild boar came out of the ground, and rampaged through the wheat field with a ferocious spirit, and the birds flew up like smoke with their wings.

"A first-order demon rat?" A sneer flashed across the face of the monk surnamed Huo, and suddenly he slapped the storage bag on his waist, and a cyan flying sword rushed out from the inside like an arrow, and the demon rat was beheaded head-on, and he didn't even have time to scream, so he fell straight into the field.

The sword-wielding guards around him applauded, and the white-haired old man also stroked his hands and praised: "Senior Brother Huo is worthy of being the senior brother of this sect, the personal disciple of Qingling Zhenren, this swordsmanship is superb, I am afraid that in Qingjiang County, no one is surpassed." ”

The monk's expression suddenly became grim, he waved his hand and put the flying sword back into the storage bag, and said in a heavy tone: "Senior Brother Zhang, this first-order demon rat, I'm afraid it comes from the Million Demon Mountain, and there are them making trouble in the fields, no wonder the people are reluctant to go down to the field to harvest wheat." ”

"yes!" The white-haired old man's expression was a little gloomy, and he sighed and said: "A few days ago, the people didn't know that they went to the field to harvest wheat, but they were continuously bitten by demon rats, and rumors spread in the town, and no one dared to come to harvest wheat. ”

The face of the monk surnamed Huo was covered with dark clouds, and he frowned and said: "I heard that Shihu Town has had a bad harvest for several consecutive years, and finally this year has a bumper grain harvest, but he does not harvest wheat, and when there is no surplus grain in the next year, what will the people eat?" ”

"Senior Brother Huo is right." The white-haired old man said with a sad expression: "As the county guard of Qingjiang County, the junior brother is the food and clothing parents of the people, so it is naturally his duty at this time, but the number of demon rats is not small, and they are very good at hiding underground, it is really difficult to get rid of them, so I hereby ask the sect for help." ”

The monk surnamed Huo said with a smile: "It is not difficult to get rid of the demon rats, the senior brother happens to have a third-order iron-clawed cat, as long as it is placed in the field, within a few days, the demon rats will definitely be driven away." ”

Speaking of this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he continued: "But it can't solve the fundamental problem, Lion Tiger Town is adjacent to the Million Demon Mountain, and the demon rats are coming in a steady stream, and the people are afraid that they will not be disturbed, and they will not go to the ground to harvest wheat." ”…,

When his words fell, a smile appeared on the face of the white-haired old man, and he smiled and said, "As long as Senior Brother Huo can get rid of the demon rats in the field, as for the way to resist the millions of demon mountain demon rats crossing the line, Senior Brother has already thought of a countermeasure." ”

The monk surnamed Huo said 'huh', and asked in a strange voice: "But I don't know what kind of plan Senior Brother Zhang has?" ”

The white-haired old man said with a smile on his face: "Senior brother is going to set up a formation in the northwest direction of Lion Tiger Town, so as to resist the demon rats from the Million Demon Mountain crossing the border and causing chaos. ”

The monk surnamed Huo frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Although the idea of the senior brother is good, but there is no formation mage in this sect, how is the formation of the demon arranged?" ”

The white-haired old man looked like he was in good shape, and said with a smile: "This matter is also easy, Senior Brother Fang Ziqi of the Wuji Gate Formation Hall is a second-order formation mage, and the senior brother has some friendship with him, and two days ago, he has sent an invitation to the Wuji Gate of Bishan, inviting Fang Daoyou to come to Lion Tiger Town to arrange the formation, in terms of the friendship between the senior brother and him, it is expected that he will definitely come to help." ”

The monk surnamed Huo looked overjoyed and said, "I didn't expect that my junior brother had already prepared, but I didn't know when Fang Daoyou from Wuji Gate would arrive?" ”

The white-haired old man stroked his long beard under his chin and said with a smile: "Senior Brother sent an invitation the day before yesterday, and according to the distance, if there is no delay, Fang Daoyou should be able to arrive in Lion Tiger Town today." ”

As he spoke, a dazzling sword light swept through the sky, as if it was a meteor falling from the sky, and landed on the official road in front of him, and a middle-aged monk in a white brocade robe walked out of the light and shadow.

"Who? Qingjiang County Zhang Jun is here and must not be surprised! All the sword-wielding guards tightly surrounded the white-haired old man's body, and all the blades were in unison, and their expressions were extremely nervous.

The light and shadow disappeared in an instant, and the white-clothed monk put the flying sword into the storage bag, and laughed loudly: "Zhang Junshou, I got your invitation to come to Lion Tiger Town to set up a demon formation, is this how you are hospitable?" ”

"It turned out that Fang Daoyou was here!" Zhang Junshou immediately separated the crowd, walked forward quickly, and said with a happy face: "Fang Daoyou took the redundancy in vain, from the wind and dust all the way from the mountain, and came to the Lion Tiger Town to set up a formation of demons, but he was far away, which is really disrespectful!" ”

Although the white-clothed monk was already not confused, he had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his face was extremely handsome, which was exactly the appearance of Fang Ziqi, a disciple of the Wuji Gate Array Hall, only to hear him laugh loudly, and said heartily: "Zhang Junshou, if someone else asks to set up a formation under the second-order defensive formation, in terms of the second-order defensive formation, there are no thirty or fifty lower-grade spirit stones, don't even think about it, but in terms of the friendship between you and me for many years, this favor must be helped!" ”

Zhang Junshou's old face swelled with a look of gratitude, and he said abruptly: "I will know that Fang Daoyou is a person who values love and righteousness, and he owes a favor in the future, and he will definitely be rewarded in the future." ”

The white-clothed monk nodded slightly, his eyes swept over him, and fell on the monk surnamed Huo behind him, when even his eyes lit up, he quickly stepped forward and said: "This Taoist friend must be Huo Yuanchen of Qinglingmen, even if he is far away in the mountains, he has heard of it, but he has never had the opportunity to meet, but he didn't expect to meet here, it is really fortunate!" ”

The monk surnamed Huo was Huo Yuanchen, the eldest disciple of Qingling Sect, the personal disciple of Qingling Zhenren, while the white-clothed monk spoke, his expression couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he didn't expect the other party to recognize him, and immediately smiled and said: "Fang Daoyou is the inner disciple of Wuji Gate, and you are a second-order array mage, it is also an honor to be able to meet here!" ”

Among the four major professions in the cultivation realm, the formation mage is the most difficult to cultivate, and it is difficult to achieve any climate unless it is a person with strong understanding, and in terms of consuming spirit stones, it is even more astronomical, even if it is the Jindan Great Sect Ascension Immortal Sect that has been inherited for thousands of years, there is no formation mage. …,

It is precisely because of the scarcity of formation mages that his identity is extremely noble, even if Fang Zi is only a second-order formation mage, but among the monks in the Qi refining period, it is undoubtedly an aura of glory, no wonder Huo Yuanchen is so polite.

The white-clothed monk smiled slightly, then turned his face away, and said with a smile: "Zhang Junshou, without further ado, let's immediately go to the northwest direction of Lion Tiger Town and set up a demon formation to prevent the demon rats from crossing the border again." ”

"Alright, let's go!" Zhang Junshou's expression became overjoyed, the clouds that had been trapped in his heart for several days were finally about to clear the clouds and see the sunny day, and of course his mood was extremely comfortable.

"Wait a moment, you two!" Huo Yuanchen smiled slightly, but continued: "Fang Daoyou wants to set up a formation of imperial demons, and I have the honor to go to observe it, but it is not to be missed, first wait for the iron claw cat to be released, let it drive away the demon rats in the wheat field, and then we will go to the northwest direction of Lion Tiger Town together." ”

As soon as the words fell, he slapped the beast bag on his waist, but only heard the sound of 'meow', a civet cat with the appearance of a leopard jumped out of it, shuttling through the wheat field like lightning, and suddenly his limbs were crossed, and his two front paws grabbed the ground, and the animal's screams sounded immediately, and a demon rat was caught out of the ground, and was disemboweled by the iron claws of the civet cat in an instant.

"It's really wonderful, Huo Daoyou's third-order iron-clawed cat is the natural enemy of the demon rat, and it is really good to use it to drive away the demon rat!" The white-clothed monk laughed, but he exclaimed in admiration.

"Where! A slight trick is not enough for Fang Daoyou to worry about! Huo Yuanchen hurriedly said modestly, in front of the inner disciples of Wuji Gate, there was really nothing to show off.

At the same time that Huo Yuanchen released a third-order civet cat to capture the demon rats, Zhang Junshou had already ordered the guards to return to the county government mansion to standby, and the three of them hurried towards the northwest direction of Lion Tiger Town.

Zhang Junshou can be released from outside the Qingling Gate, and as the county guard of Shangqingjiang County, he is obviously not incompetent, he also has the cultivation of the seventh layer of qi refining, if it is not for the fact that he is already old, he has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and the future is slim on the road of cultivation, he will definitely be cultivated by the Qinglingmen as the most elite disciple.

Zhang Junshou's cultivation was still unable to fly with a sword, so the three of them used their magic skills to hurry, as if they were three fast horses galloping like the wind, along the path of the official road, galloping towards the northwest of Lion Tiger Town.
