Xian'an Township is located in the northwest corner of Jinyang Town, wading through a shallow stream, you can see the miasma of the woods, misty and forested.

There are many precious woods in the forest, as well as some herbs and beasts, and there are always some people who are not afraid of death to go into the forest to explore. It's just that every time I don't see a living person come out, the villagers are full of rumors that there is a demon in the forest who killed these people.

The head of Xian'an Township reported the matter to the county magistrate of Jinyang Town a few years ago, and also invited several waves of masters to remove the demons. However, the monster in the forest is too fierce, and I heard the monk who picked up a life say that the monster is hornless like a dragon, and it is huge, and it eats people without spitting out bones...... After that, there will be fewer people who go to hunt demons, and no one is willing to risk death.

The county magistrate's notice is still posted once a month, which was originally just a means to send the villagers away, but recently the tax and silver bills that the county magistrate wanted to pay were stolen. I saw a snitch sneaking into the treasury of the government in the middle of the night, but when the officers and soldiers chased him out, the snitch fled to the miasma forest. The county magistrate became angry and vowed to find a powerful Taoist to remove the demon.

Coincidentally, the Heavenly Dao Sect passed through this town, and was stopped when they left the city gate. The county official kindly invited him to stay and get rid of the scourge, so Gao Yin was in a hurry to enter Beijing to participate in the sacrificial ceremony, how could he have the heart to put such a small matter on it. With a finger in his hand, he sent out this benevolent brother who has been gagging all year round......

Zhou Xuanqing listened to the hermit cultivator tell the whole story one by one as he walked, but he was a little absent-minded between his eyebrows. In the end, I still care a little about Lu Shizhi and Mo Huaigu's words.

Tang Sanfeng walked unhurriedly, and walked over with his hands behind his back. After a pause, he raised his chin forward to signal, "It's here." ”

The hermit cultivator hurried up, and naturally raised his hand to lean on his shoulder and pressed it: "Yes, yes, you see, the color of this stream is half light and half dark, and it is very mad along the miasma forest!"

Tang Sanfeng frowned, silently took a step away to the side, and the hidden arm naturally slipped down without leaning on. He patted the non-existent dust on his shoulder again, and smiled incomprehensibly.

Zhou Xuanqing raised his eyes and looked: This peacock's serious appearance is really going to be blind.

～

The two of them finally stepped into this miasma forest, their shoes stepping on the damp branches and fallen leaves on the ground, making a dull creaking sound, and there was no birdsong around, and it was quiet.

The mist lingered in it, and the face felt a deep coolness, and the sky was getting darker, and the shadows of the trees rubbing shoulders became more and more strange, like the giant claws of a beast.

"Why do I always feel that something is staring straight at us?" Yin Xiu walked very cautiously three times in one step, his whole face was tense, cold sweat broke out at the back of his neck and forehead, and his hands kept pulling the corner of Zhou Xuanqing's sleeves.

Just listen to the sound of "Boom!". Tang Sanfeng behind him couldn't help but sneer, he was a demon and was not afraid of other evil things, but he just caught a glimpse of the Taoist priest in front of him who was afraid to do it, and he felt ridiculous.

He grinded his teeth, and the corners of his mouth curved in an arc and quipped: "Oh, Xiao Wang smells a faint smell of rotting femur flesh, and if you go deeper, we can see the monster." ”

He spoke deliberately low and slow, which made the atmosphere gloomy and cold.

Zhou Xuanqing couldn't bear it anymore, waved his sleeves and brushed aside the claws of the hermitage, and glanced at Tang Sanfeng viciously, and said, "Be serious." I see that this place is indeed unusual, concentrate and don't really run into something in time to deal with it. ”

As soon as she reminded her, the hermit felt even more that it meant something, and she was terrified. Suddenly, a cold wind blew in my ears, and I saw a shadow shaking in the fog barrier in front of me. He panicked, hurriedly pulled out the peachwood magic sword on his back, jumped up, and slashed a sword diagonally at the shadow!

"Monster!"

The shadow of the tree flicked horizontally, shaking off the fallen leaves, and a weasel that had fled past quickly disappeared into the bushes on the side.

The hermit's eyes were straight, and his cheeks were slightly hot because of the shame, and he withdrew his magic sword, where the pestle was unwillingly stupid.

So Tang Sanfeng, the peacock spirit who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, crossed his arms and bent over and laughed.

"Oops, no, hahahaha, let Xiaowang laugh for a while!"

Probably because he laughed too exaggeratedly, Yin Xiu said angrily: "This Dao is too nervous, can't it!

"On the top, Xiao Wang's ability is only afraid that you will not be able to cultivate it in your life. Tang Sanfeng straightened his waist, folded a dozen fans, and the chic appearance of the jade tree in the wind.

What a. Is now the time to be so relaxed?

Zhou Xuanqing's eyelids jumped violently, and he always felt that the forest was unusual, and he couldn't say that there was anything wrong.

'Poof', Zhou Xuanqing lit a fire talisman to lead the way, and the dense fog of the forest was faintly filled with such a little spark. They marched a little further into the forest, the fog getting thicker and thicker, and the clammy and cold around them. It wasn't until they heard the sound of gurgling water that they stepped out of the fog and stood in a clearing.

Looking up, you can see a waterfall that sparkles in the night. Not far from the waterfall, there is a very dense old tree.

The trunk of the ancient tree is enough to be embraced by three people, with a pitted tree hole at the top and an intricate foundation at the bottom. More than half of the rhizomes are buried deep in the ground, leaving only a few visible gray-brown roots emerging from the ground, bent and thick like arms.

The moonlight was hazy, and the tips of Zhou Xuanqing's ears moved, and he heard some rustling sounds. When I looked closely, the dirt on the ground was only slightly loose, and a swarm of ants crawled out.

"What's the situation? This is the middle of the forest, why didn't you see any monsters?" Yin Xiu stepped forward with his magic sword, although he felt that the scenery was normal, but he didn't dare to relax.

Tang Sanfeng folded his fan and slapped his palms, his eyes drooped, and his unclear face was secretive: "Some monsters eat people in order to cultivate mana, and some are just to fill their stomachs." ”

The hermit listened awkwardly, stared at him strangely and said, "No matter what it is, you shouldn't eat people." ”

Zhou Xuanqing raised his gaze and looked at the waterfall. The water cascades vertically from the top of the hill and converges into a small meandering river, the water is clear, but cleaner than the stream outside the forest.

No one noticed, and the ancient trees behind them, which had been immovable, silently hung down a few rough branches, gliding along the ground inch by inch, and the roots under the ground also moved slowly like breaking the ground.

Suddenly, the vines and tendrils that were scattered and entangled in the ancient trees were all pulled out of the mud, like a long whip wielding, and smashed down with a whirring wind!

Zhou Xuanqing only noticed the abnormality at this time, his face changed, and he only dodged sideways first. He couldn't help but gasp in his chest, and shouted at the frightened hermit: "Be careful, this monster is unusual!"

They didn't dare to relax while talking, only to see the rattan brush sweeping, Tang Sanfeng rose into the air, staring at the bottom with a smile.
