Tianxue left Caiyun Mountain, had breakfast in the town at the foot of the mountain, and hired a carriage to return to his hometown.

The weather was clear, and there were a few white clouds floating in the blue sky. The sun had just risen in the east, the morning glow was full of sky, there was no wind in the air, and there was a faint morning mist between the sky and the earth.

The carriage left the town and took a country road.

The path is potholed and winds into the distance. The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and the weeds on both sides of the path have turned slightly yellow, covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost under the morning dew.

It was still early, there were no other pedestrians on the road, and the carriage was swaying and bumping and slowing down on the path. Tianxue sat in the carriage and held the Zixia Sword tightly with one hand, and held a small burden of broken cloth with the other. She didn't sleep well all night last night, only fell asleep for a while at the fourth watch, and now she was sitting in the carriage and couldn't help but take a nap.

At this time, a white-clothed immortal flew in the sky. He stood on a glittering golden and wide round folding fan, and with one turn he turned into a wisp of wind in the air and flew into the carriage.

Leng Guqing gently sat beside Tianxue. She was squinting and napping, not noticing that there was another person in the carriage.

The carriage swayed from side to side, and Tianxue's body also swayed back and forth with the carriage. I don't know if it was because she suddenly fell asleep, or because the carriage crossed a big depression, and the carriage shook violently, and Tianxue's body also shook violently. Seeing that her head was about to hit the guardrail of the carriage, Leng Guqing next to her hurriedly dodged over and blocked the guardrail, stretching out his hands to hug Tianxue.

At this time, Tianxue was dreaming in a daze, and in the dream she saw her father and mother who had been separated for many years and her Tianya brother, and the family hugged each other and cried with joy.

Leng Guqing hugged Tianxue tightly with both hands, thinking of what happened last night, and an inexplicable sense of guilt came to his heart.

His hand gently stroked her eyes, helped her heal some red and swollen eyes, and whispered in her ear: "Xue'er is sorry! You are a good and obedient boy, and your teacher will protect you from being hurt in the slightest. The teacher knows that you miss your father, and the teacher will send you home. ”

After that stretch of country road, the carriage walked up a wide, flat avenue, the road was free of potholes, and the carriage stopped jolting and ran faster and faster.

Time passed slowly, and about an hour later the carriage arrived at a bustling town. The town coincides with a market, and the streets are bustling with all kinds of cries. Tianxue was woken up by the noise in her ears, and when she opened her eyes, she was surprised to find that she was sleeping in her master's arms.

Tianxue was so surprised and delighted that she almost screamed.

"When did the master come, and how long has Cher been asleep?"

Leng Guqing smiled faintly: "When the teacher saw the handwriting you left in the room, he didn't worry that you would chase after you in a hurry." You've been sleeping soundly in your teacher's arms for more than an hour, do you feel better? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"No, Cher isn't sleepy. ”

The carriage was walking slowly on the bustling street, when suddenly there was a terrible scream outside the carriage, as well as the sound of people running and desperate cries for help.

Tianxue was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Leng Guqing: "Master, what's going on outside, is someone fighting?"

At this time, Leng Guqing felt that a powerful demonic aura was rapidly attacking his side, and hurriedly said, "Oh no! There must be a monster around here." Hurry up, let's go out and see who is causing trouble here. ”

Leng Guqing pulled Tianxue with one hand, lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, and saw that the streets were in chaos, pedestrians were running in panic and hiding everywhere, and several stalls doing business were knocked down by pedestrians, and things were scattered everywhere.

Leng Guqing had just stood firm, when suddenly an old woman in a coat fell at his feet.

"What's going on over there, why are people running away?" Leng Guqing hurriedly picked up the old man and asked her.

The old grandmother seemed to be very frightened, her body trembled, and she pointed to Leng Guqing's back and said, "There is a snake demon...... There's a snake demon over there, and the monster has come out to eat people again. She saw Tianxue coming out of the carriage, and then said, "Childe, your lady is so good-looking, how dare you let her go out? ”

At this time, Leng Guqing suddenly heard a scream behind him, and turned his head to see that a huge python spirit was flying in the sky and devouring a living person.

The demon's whole body was bright red, constantly emitting dark red poisonous gas, its head was much larger than a house, and its two lantern-sized eyes were shining a terrifying green light. From its mouth, it spit out more than a dozen bright red cores that were more than a foot long and thick as wrists, and like an arm, they kept grabbing the fleeing pedestrians on the street, and sucked them into the stomach in the blink of an eye.

Tianxue stood beside Leng Guqing and saw the snake spirit, she had never seen such a terrible monster, her face turned white with fright, and her body couldn't help leaning towards Leng Guqing and said, "Master, can Zixia Sword kill this monster?"

Leng Guqing asked Tianxue to hide behind him and said, "Xue'er, don't be afraid, this snake demon seems to be fierce but its cultivation is not high, and it is effortless for Zixia Sword to kill it." ”

Leng Guqing took the Zixia Sword from Tianxue's hand, silently recited the sword trick in his heart, the flying sword was unsheathed, and a bright purple light flashed towards the snake spirit. The sword circled around the snake spirit, and suddenly the clone conjured into many identical swords. Leng Guqing recited another sword trick, and countless flying sword shadows in the air were inserted into the snake spirit's body together.

The snake spirit fell from the air in an instant when it was pierced by ten thousand swords, and its huge body smashed to the ground with a loud bang, collapsing a large area of nearby houses. It crawled on the ground and writhed and let out a low howl, slowly stopping its struggle, followed by a few loud "bang" sounds, and it was blown to pieces in an instant, and blood and flesh splattered all over the long street.

The people who fled for their lives on the street saw that the monster was killed by Leng Guqing and Tianxue, and they ran to bow down and kowtow to each other. It was the first time for Tianxue to accept the worship of so many people, and she felt that it was good to be an immortal, and she would kill monsters for the benefit of the mortal world in the future.

On the roof in the distance stood a man in green, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with long purple hair draped behind him, an emerald green cloak draped over his shoulders, and a very delicate face, but there was a coldness hidden between his eyebrows, and the brilliance emitted by his starry eyes was a murderous aura.

The man in green had been watching everything that was happening on the street, and he had witnessed his python being killed with a sword, and he wanted to fight the two immortals to avenge the snake demon. However, he suddenly thought of a conspiracy and decided to follow Tianxue and Leng Guqing, find an opportunity to get close to the two, and find a way to infiltrate the immortal clan and steal the secrets of the immortal clan.

Leng Guqing waved his hand lightly, and the Jiuyi True Fan flew out of his sleeve and floated in the air. He pulled Tianxue to jump up and land on the fan, flew away on the treasure fan, and disappeared into the sky in an instant.

The man in green on the roof in the distance turned into a black eagle and flew into the sky, chasing in the direction where the treasure fan flew.

Leng Lonely in the sky said to Tianxue: "Xue'er, you have only learned a little bit of the Shadowless Divine Sword, and now demons often appear in the mortal world, so how can you rest assured by the teacher." The teacher is now helping you practice swordsmanship, teaching you how to use the Zixia Sword to kill ordinary demons, even if you encounter a monster with a strong cultivation and you can't defeat him, at least you can run for your life. ”

"Master is so good! Master teach me quickly, I really want to learn. ”

Leng Guqing silently recited the sword technique, and the Zixia sword flew out of the scabbard and hung in the air. He input a stream of aura into Tianxue's palm to help her improve her internal strength, and asked Tianxue to recite the mantra with him, only to see the Zixia Sword circling and flying in the air, and suddenly a bright light flashed on the sword body, and the sword clone conjured countless sword shadows that were exactly the same as it. The two of them recited another sword technique, and the countless sword images in the air suddenly exploded like a set of ignited **, exploding a piece of dark clouds in the air.

Leng Guqing took back the Jiuyi True Fan under his feet, pulled Tianxue and flew on the Zixia Sword, taught her to fly by sword, and flew towards Dongliang City together.

The sword flew so fast, and it didn't take long for it to reach the sky above Dongliang City.

Looking down at the feet of the snow in the sky, I haven't seen Dongliang City bigger and more prosperous than before for five years, there are many newly built buildings on both sides of the street, as well as shops doing all kinds of trading, and people come and go on the street.

In order not to be discovered so as not to frighten mortals, Leng Guqing chose a secluded and uninhabited alley, and pulled the snow to slowly land from the sky.

Tianxue walked on the street and looked east and west, and suddenly asked Leng Guqing: "Master, do you have any silver on you?"

"What does Cher want, do you want to buy a gift for her parents?"

Tianxue nodded, and sighed in her heart that the master really had a heart for herself, and she could see what she wanted to do at a glance.

Leng Guqing took out two pieces of silver from his pocket, put them in Tianxue's hand and said, "Take it, buy something that your father and mother like, the silver is not enough to give it to the teacher." ”

Tianxue smiled and trembled, took the silver and said, "Thank you, Master! These forty taels of silver are counted as the ones I borrowed from the master, and when I earn the money that day, I will definitely repay the master's account." ”

"No need for Cher. ”

My father and mother taught me from a young age that I should not take advantage of others. ”

"Being a teacher is not a mortal, but a god, and Xue'er can take advantage of some of the cheap for a teacher. ”

Tianxue was about to burst into laughter, she didn't know that the master was so humorous.

Tianxue was very happy, and turned to this store and visited that store with cold loneliness, and bought seven or eight pieces of clothes, as well as many daily necessities and rouge gouache. Tianxue is young and beautiful, Leng Guqing is handsome, every time he enters a store, the owner and the guys in the store think that the two are a young couple, which makes Leng Guqing feel very embarrassed.

The two of them walked around for more than an hour, it was already noon, Leng Guqing had long been impatient, for the interest of the undefeated little apprentice, he endured it without saying anything, and let Tianxue take his hand and go forward. He saw that Tianxue was still so elated, and he didn't seem to be tired at all, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it was more troublesome to accompany a girl to go shopping than to kill a monster.

Tianxue suddenly stopped in front of a rice shop, looked up at the sign of the rice shop, and said, "Tianya rice shop, it won't be a rice shop opened by my brother, right?"

"Your brother's name is Tianya?"

Tianxue nodded, let go of Leng Guqing's hand and entered the rice shop alone.
