There are two large locust trees at the entrance of the temple, the branches and leaves are very luxuriant, and each has half an acre of shade. Under one of the trees, there are two old Taoists playing chess.

Qi Xiaoting glanced at them, without any impression, and did not go to her heart. A group of six people walked straight to the temple.

"The old way of playing chess outside the door is the snake demon, but it's not the one who fools around with the snake princess, you have to be extra careful." Long Yi passed on Qi Xiaoting.

"I haven't seen these two in the county, could it be that they used a disguise technique?" Qi Xiaoting also asked.

Long Yi: "It's hard to say now, but the snake princess has been on the god planet for tens of thousands of years, and she has already practiced courage and knowledge, and she is ruthless, and you are not her opponents." We have to work together to win. ”

Qi Xiaoting quietly told Li Hong and Scud about the situation. Scud told Dongsheng and Li Heier again. Li Hong told Jiaona.

While everyone was passing, they suddenly heard the laughter of "Ji Ji" at the door: "Wow, I let you have the upper hand in the county office, this time, it's time for us to close the door and eliminate you!" ”

An old Taoist said, and whistled in the temple, and four old Taoists immediately rushed out of the temple, one by one holding magic weapons, and fought with Qi Xiaoting and them.

There are a total of six people on Qi Xiaoting's side, and the old way is also six, one-on-one, in front of everyone, there is a demon old man with teeth and claws.

Scuds are not good at fighting, and they don't have decent magic weapons in their hands. His only tactics are flying, moving, soaring, running, and circling around the old demon road, so that the old demon road can't catch or fight.

Li Hongwu was born as a military general, and what he is best at is hand-to-hand combat. The flying of a halberd wheel only had the ability to parry, and there was no power to fight back.

Dongsheng and Li Heier, some are brute force. Suspecting that the long knife in his hand was not long enough, one person pulled out a big locust tree in front of the temple gate, turned up, and swept and beat according to the demon road. How could the demon dao use demon magic, and it was easy to defuse their offensive, and the two gradually fell behind.

Jiaona, however, became more and more courageous, jumping into the air for a while, and fighting condescendingly; For a while, it circled around the demon road like a whirlwind, making the demon road dazzled.

Jiaona is not in a hurry to win, but uses delaying tactics with the demon path to drain their physical strength. From time to time, I have to help Dongsheng and Li Hei'er to turn defeat into victory.

Qi Xiaoting also played very well, basically a tie with the demon road. While fighting, she was thinking about the snake princess, and thought: This has just been a draw, if the snake princess comes out, she is really not their opponent.

When I think about it, my heart to win becomes even stronger. Seeing that the other party showed a flaw, he hurriedly slashed with the dragon's tooth short sword, and the right leg of the demon path immediately bloomed, reaching deep into the leg bone.

The demon path couldn't bear the pain, jumped into the clouds, and fled eastward.

Qi Xiaoting was afraid that he would return to the county government again, so she followed closely on the ground. She had a magic talisman on her lap, and she recited the incantation, but she could keep up.

was about to flee to the camp to the official road of Jianjin Prefecture, and turned north, which was the county seat of Jianjin Prefecture, and while chasing, he took out his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at the demon road in mid-air.

As soon as the demon road saw the arrow coming, it suddenly turned into a big black python about three zhang long and more than five meters in waistline.

The big black python has rough skin and thick flesh, and when the arrow hits it, it is as if it hits the old bark, and it cannot penetrate the python skin.

Qi Xiaoting was in a hurry, and she didn't think much about it, so she put the dragon tooth short sword on the bowstring, aimed at the key part of the big black python, "poof", and shot out.

How powerful the dragon tooth short sword is, sharpening iron like mud, not to mention that Qi Xiaoting shot out with enough strength, and the short sword was pierced on the python's body, just like in tofu;

The dragon's tooth short sword seemed to have eyes, and it was right on the heart of the big black python. The big black python flipped a few times in mid-air, and with a "bang", it fell two miles east of the official road.

Along with it, the earth shook violently, not below the five-magnitude earthquake, and where the black python fell, a big pit was smashed, and the dust rose more than two feet high......

Qi Xiaoting was worried about the fight in the temple, and she didn't care about waiting for the smoke and dust to fall, so she retrieved her dragon tooth short sword, wiped the blood on the one-person-tall black python, and hurriedly returned to the temple.

"It's dangerous." Long Yi sent a voice without reproach: "If you can't pierce the vital part, he will run away with your dragon tooth dagger." ”

"This one can't be hurt, there is another one, and he can't be allowed to escape anyway." Qi Xiaoting replied arrogantly: "If you let him escape back to the city of Jianjin Prefecture, it won't be messed up!" ”

"You're lucky this time! If you encounter this situation in the future, you should keep your magic weapon first. Long Yi comforted lovingly.

Qi Xiaoting came to the temple, and the fight had stopped. Except for Jiaona, who killed a cobra demon, the rest all ran away.

"It's the same as in the county office, and there are several demon ways to beat you, and one of them is killed, only to know that it is a small long worm, and the big one is gone." Li Hong said regretfully.

Qi Xiaoting: "Six eliminated two, and the results are not small." I just didn't see the snake princess. ”

Jiaona: "There's no such thing as the snake demon in the first place. ”

Li Hong: "When I was in the county office, Xiaoting slashed the snake princess, could it be that the two of them healed their injuries on the side, and made a few not good demons to hide from us and weaken our combat effectiveness?" ”

Everyone analyzed it for a while and felt that this was probably the case.

Qi Xiaoting was very afraid of her recklessness just now: the dragon tooth short sword was the first magic weapon given to her by the dragon king Ao Guang, and she was really going to be taken away by the big black python, and she had to regret her death.

After cleaning up the battlefield in the temple, the group walked towards the official road again. Qi Xiaoting wanted to take them to see their trophies, the big black python, and by the way, put the big black python into the space.

Wow!

The official road was full of people, all of whom craned their necks to look east, pointing and talking.

It turned out that the sound and tremor of the big black python landing frightened the surrounding people a lot, and they all thought it was an earthquake, and hurriedly called their children and daughters to run out of the house.

When they learned that it was caused by something falling in the air, they all ran out of the village to watch. Because they didn't know what it was, whether it was dead or alive, whether it would hurt people, people didn't dare to approach, they all concentrated on the official road and looked there, and there was a lot of discussion.

Pythons are actually giant snakes that live in tropical and subtropical forests. Jianjin Prefecture is located in the south-central plain of China-Hebei Province, temperate zone, and there are no pythons, so people feel rare.

Qi Xiaoting saw that people felt novel, and more and more people came to watch, so she dispelled the idea of taking in the space, and like people, she only looked there on the official road, and returned to the temple.

The book implied: Later, the place where the big black python landed lived in people, and people didn't know it, thinking that the python had an auspicious omen, and named the village "Black Python Village". Later, I knew the reason and rewrote it as "Dark Horse Village";

After people lived in the west of the official road where people saw the python, because there was a saying that they "saw the python" here, they took the name of the village "see the python village". Later, "Black Python Village" was rewritten as "Black Horse Village", and "Kan Python Village" was also rewritten as "Kangma Village", and the names of the two villages have been used to this day.

Back to business:

While people were cleaning up the battlefield and watching the black pythons, Scud had already gone around the county government and the surrounding villages, and came back and said to Qi Xiaoting and Li Hong: "The county government is very quiet, it seems that the demons have not gone back; There is no sign in the surrounding villages, and it doesn't look like there is a demon.

"More than ten miles to the south of the temple house, is the fruit village, there is a Jade Emperor Temple in the west of the village, the incense is very prosperous, and the pilgrims come and go.

"I searched carefully and found no suspicious person. But I always felt weird inside, as if there was something wrong. Shall we go there and see? ”

As soon as Qi Xiaoting heard that there was a temple of the Jade Emperor, she immediately transmitted the message to Long Yi.

Long Yi said: "The Jade Emperor is not kind to me, if he hadn't personally verified the legends of the Eight Dragons, the Urn Mouth, the Purple Dragon, and the Liuchang, I would still be fastened to the Eight Dragons Mountain on the Divine Planet."

"We returned to the east this time, and you and I got engaged, all thanks to the grace of the Jade Emperor. Lu met the temple of the Jade Emperor in the world, and said that he had to go over to offer incense, kneel and bow. ”

"Let's go to the Jade Emperor Temple!"

Qi Xiaoting immediately parroted and told everyone Long Yi's statement.

Li Hong told everyone: "This Jade Emperor Temple is where the first arrow shot by Yongle Emperor Zhu Di and his master Liu Bowen when they went north to find the address of the capital.

"They saw a dragon vein in the fruit village, and the feng shui was very good. But after digging a shovel of soil, it can't hold it when I put it in. It is speculated that seven points of the crowd sit in the sedan chair and three points carry the sedan chair.

"I was afraid that there would be more sedan chairs after the capital was built here, so I shot an arrow to the north and landed on the Chongjiao Temple in the northeast corner of the city of Jianjin Prefecture.

"We know the second arrow clearly, and we have to go and see where the first arrow lands. See if there are seven points of sedan chair and three points of sedan chair lifting. ”

Scud smiled: "What the old ancestor said is extremely true. However, there is another detail here that you didn't mention.

It is said that Liu Bowen saw that the place where the second arrow fell was richer than the place where the first arrow fell. I want to return to Guocun and build a capital here.

"When I walked halfway, I reported that the dragon veins in Guocun had been occupied by the Jade Emperor. Zhu Di had no choice, so he had to travel another 700 miles north and build the current capital. ”

Li Hong smiled: "There is also this detail!" Thanks to the Jade Emperor, otherwise, Zhu Di built the capital here, and it would be even more difficult for us to send it back to the Eight Dragons. With this, we also have to thank the Jade Emperor. ”

So, a group of six people set off to the Jade Emperor Temple in Guocun.

Sizhai City is more than ten miles away from Guocun, and it has to pass through two rivers in the middle: Lulu River and Laoyan River. Since people were tired after a fight, Qi Xiaoting suggested that everyone walk and recover their strength while walking. Everyone talked while walking, and the topic always revolved around the Jade Emperor Temple in Guocun.

Dongsheng said: "If the fruit village is really as rich as the legend says, I will move the buckwheat village here and develop buckwheat here." ”

Li Heier joked: "You are coming, I will also move the whole family here to seek development in a rich place." ”
