Darkness, boundless darkness.

It's cold, the snow is cold.

In a daze, Hu Mingchen suddenly opened his eyes, he quickly got up from the bed, looked around, and found that he was actually in a strange room. And the items around it, it seems to be a little old?

"Knock knock."

"Senior brother, are you up?"

There was a sudden knock on the door, and then, a rather immature voice sounded, and Hu Mingchen was stunned:

"Huh?"

"Senior brother, get up quickly, today is the day you take your junior brothers down the mountain to eliminate demons. Master is already waiting for you in the lobby. ”

"Oh."

Hu Mingchen replied subconsciously, and at the same time skillfully took out underwear and cyan robes from the cupboard next to the bed. By the time he came back to his senses, he had already put on a Taoist robe and had a scarf tied around his head, all of which showed his current identity, a Taoist priest.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar self in the bronze mirror, Hu Mingchen suddenly had some indescribable emotions in his heart, whether it was joy or sadness.

Inside the hall

"Today, on behalf of our Zhengyi Sect, the seven of you have gone down the mountain to eliminate demons and solve problems for the people. I have only one request, stick to my heart! ”

The seven people, led by Hu Mingchen, half-knelt in front of the white-haired old man, who was Zhang Chen, the head of the Zhengyi Sect of the Tang Dynasty.

"Dao Chen, you are a senior brother, it is risky to go here, I will give you the Five Thunder Ghost Seal."

Originally, before this, Zhang Chen wanted to give the Seven Star Sword, but Hu Mingchen insisted on using his own Dao Sword, so Zhang Chen gave up and gave him a sharp weapon to cure ghosts, Fang Yin.

"Follow the teacher's orders!"

Hu Mingchen felt as if he was split, and his movements were not controlled by his consciousness.

In this way, Hu Mingchen said goodbye to the senior brothers of the Zhengyi Sect, and took six junior brothers to go down the mountain to eliminate demons and demons, and these seven people were the seven sons of Zhengyi at that time. At this time, it was the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, and it was at this moment that Wei Zheng slayed the dragon in his dream. But that's another story, so I won't go into details here.

"Senior brother, I see that this place is quite demonic, there must be a demonic disaster, we can do the right path here first!"

Hu Mingchen didn't say anything, just nodded, and then led them into this small mountain village. At that time, the small mountain village was different from the current mountain village, and its popularity was far more lively than it is now. But the mountain village that Hu Mingchen and the others walked into was unusually deserted.

"Big brother, something isn't quite right here." The second senior brother Dao Xing pulled out the Dao Sword, he was the most cautious of the seven sons, and his sixth sense was always very accurate.

"I feel that there seems to be a lot of popularity ahead." The sixth junior brother Daowen inherited Zhang Chen's qi, and his pair of yin and yang eyes can distinguish the breath, which is just used for warning.

"Hello, may I ask anyone?"

I don't know why, the more Hu Mingchen walked forward, the more intense his heart beated. He forcibly suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and walked in the direction pointed by Daowen, where there was a small thatched house, after hearing Hu Mingchen's voice, there was a sudden sound of heavy objects falling from inside, and then there was no sound again.

After the seven sons looked at each other, Hu Mingchen decided to go and see what it was first. Dao Xing originally wanted to stop him, but he was already being pulled by the throbbing in his heart at the moment, where did he care so much.

Hu Mingchen pushed open the wooden door, and it was a little dark inside, although it was relatively small, but it was unexpectedly tidy. There was no candlelight, and it seemed that there was no one, but Hu Mingchen noticed that a shelf had been erected in the middle of the hut, and an iron pot was tied under the shelf.

"Hello, we are not bad people, we are Taoist priests of the Zhengyi Sect, may I ask anyone?"

Hu Mingchen couldn't suppress the violent beating in his heart, and at this moment, the thatch on the side suddenly trembled, and the six people were startled, took a few steps back, and pulled out their swords in front of them. Heavenly Master Fu and Maoshan have joined forces to sacrifice many Taoist priests in order to eliminate the demon disaster, but it is precisely because these Taoist priests are not afraid of death that they continue to suppress the flood of demon disasters.

In addition to Hu Mingchen, the seven sons of Zhengyi drew their swords and pinched the talisman, if it was a demon that jumped out, they would hit the talisman on the demon mercilessly. Don't say anything cruel, in this era, people and demons have never coexisted.

"You ...... Is it a demon? ”

A playful voice disrupted everyone's movements, and from the thatch, a girl in ill-fitting clothes poked her head out in fear and looked at the group of people in Taoist robes.

"Little girl, we are not demons, we are Taoist priests, who specialize in eliminating demons."

I don't know why, after seeing this little girl, Hu Mingchen felt that his heart suddenly exploded, and after beating violently, he actually calmed down.

"Really! Woooooo It's scary! Mom and Dad were eaten by monsters! ”

The little girl was relieved, her lips were cracked, and she threw herself directly into Hu Mingchen's arms at the front, with tears hanging on her dirty little face, constantly rubbing against Hu Mingchen's robe. Hu Mingchen stiffened, his hand stopped in the air, and he hesitated for a while before he carefully touched the little girl's head and didn't say anything to comfort her.

After the little girl's mood stabilized, Hu Mingchen asked her about it. As soon as she mentioned what happened in this village, the little girl's originally dry eyes welled up with tears again, and Hu Mingchen saw that he had a headache, how could he cry so much. But fortunately, the little girl was sensible enough, and she choked for a while before she said intermittently.

Her name is Shangguan Wan'er, 14 this year, their village is a branch of the Shangguan family, and she was expelled to the mountain village because she offended the family of the famous Shangguan lord who was next to the emperor. It was supposed to be a peaceful place to live, but since a black hurricane descended over the village, everything has changed.

The black hurricane turned into a pig and ate all the men in the village, leaving the woman behind and bringing it back to his lair, not knowing what to do. And Shangguan Wan'er was lucky to avoid the pig demon because she hid in the thatch and watched the pig demon take all her relatives away, but after she came out, she was the only one left in the originally beautiful village. She was afraid that the pig demon would come back, so she hid herself in the hut and did not dare to go out.

"It's okay, take us to that lair, and we'll help you get revenge."

Hu Mingchen smiled and touched Shangguan Wan'er's little head, Shangguan Wan'er leaned on his side very dependently, closed her eyes, and slept a good night's sleep that she had not slept peacefully in these days. Hu Mingchen tilted his head to look at this little girl, I don't know why, a pair of dark eyes were full of tenderness.

The other juniors didn't see this scene. The Zhengyi Church is different from the Quanzhen Religion in that it does not need to be a monk and can get married. Their senior brother had always been the best Taoist priest in the Zhengyi Sect, and at this moment, the two of them were so compatible, the six of them didn't want to interrupt them.

Nothing was said all night. Early the next morning, according to the memory of the little girl, the direction in which the pig demon disappeared at the end, found the nest of the pig demon from the observation of Taoism.

The seven looked at the mountains of bones piled up outside the lair, and a nameless anger ignited in their hearts. After hiding Shangguan Wan'er, the seven of them held the Dao sword in their hands, stepped on Yu Bu, muttered a trick in their mouths, and fought with the pig demon. The Tang Dynasty is the prosperous era of Taoism, and the Taoism at this time is almost complete, and the pig demon was undoubtedly killed by the seven sons of Zhengyi, and was lit by the lantern to warn the nearby monsters in turn, this is the end.

Since then, Shangguan Wan'er has become the only woman among the seven sons of Zhengyi, and along the way, the seven sons also taught her some Taoist techniques, just because she has not practiced since she was a child, so these Taoist techniques can only prevent ghosts and are not aggressive.

Unconsciously, this is the third year that Zhengyi Qizi has gone down the mountain to eliminate demons, during this period, Zhengyi Qizi's Taoism has been continuously improved, and they have killed more and more demons and monsters, saving many mountain villages and making Datang's national foundation more stable. Emperor Wu summoned them into the palace and named them righteous walkers. Because Emperor Wu was already surrounded by Yuan Tiangang and other strange people at that time, Zhengyi Qizi did not stay long, but continued their journey of eliminating demons.

Soon after, events that shocked the Tang Dynasty occurred. In the summer of June, in Luoyang, the eastern capital, suddenly one day the people became restless, running around the streets, and even a crowd stampede. It turned out that in mid-air, a group of Yin soldiers suddenly appeared, numbering tens of thousands, with noisy war horses and overlapping shadows. It's scary. And this kind of thing happened many times in the future, and each time it appeared at night, all the way from the south bank of Luoshui, and disappeared on the north bank of Luoshui.

At that time, Tang Xuanzong was in charge, and this kind of thing happened, which was a natural disaster, which had an impact on Tang Xuanzong's rule, and Tang Xuanzong went to ask Zhengyi Qizi to help in order to eliminate the influence in this regard.

Originally, Hu Mingchen thought that this was just a Yin Soldier Passage, as long as he did a Dharma Ceremony, but he never expected that this Yin Soldier Corridor was not as simple as he imagined......
