In the center of the town, where the town capital is located, the tall brick courtyard wall, the bluestone bucket arch under the eaves of the wall, it seems thick and simple, the heavy corridor is mangback, the buildings are stacked, the eaves are pecked high, and each hugs the terrain.

This place occupies a large area, Peng Zheng led him into a sloping corridor, and saw the head of the town in a side courtyard.

Zhu Hong was still in a black shirt, his face was flat, just standing there, it was like a mountain pestle, silent and self-assured. He is the head of the town and the person in charge of Jiuxi Town.

"My lord, the person has been brought, but he put it on the street and had a dispute with the young master of the Wang family, and someone died. Peng Zheng bowed.

Zhu Hong glanced at Qu Tao and bowed slightly: "You go down first, I will deal with this matter." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Peng Zheng left, only Qu Tao and Zhu Hong were left in the side courtyard, Qu Tao didn't feel any pressure on Zhu Hong, but he would not be unreasonable, so he stood quietly and waited for the other party to speak.

Zhu Hong first looked at Qu Tao, and when he saw that he was dressed in tattered clothes, he expected that he must be in danger in the deep mountains, and couldn't help but look at him. Then he said, "You didn't return last night, why did you come back safely today?"

Qu Tao had already responded, took down the piece of jade and said, "I have a treasure that can protect me from walking in the moon barrier." ”

Zhu Hong glanced at Baoyu, his eyes flashed with a different color, and he bowed his head slightly, this explanation was in the past.

Similar treasures can be called precious, but they are not impossible, and he does not have any other thoughts when he sees this.

"Then do you know the whereabouts of the other four people who went out yesterday?"

Qu Tao nodded, took out two long knives from his back, and said, "This is what I found in the forest, so I brought it back, and these two people are dead." As for the two people of the Wang family and the Tiger Gang, it is estimated that it will be difficult to survive. ”

Before Zhu Hong could speak, he said again: "I also encountered a monster and a strange beast in my body. ”

Zhu Hong's eyes flashed: "Talk about it carefully." ”

Qu Tao nodded, and immediately picked up the main thing that happened in the mountains yesterday, hid the white wolf and himself who were not afraid of the monster black fog, and finally said: "The monster has disappeared, and there is no trace of it, and I managed to kill the beast." ”

He didn't say that the giant ape was a mountain demon, but was called a strange beast, otherwise Zhu Hong would definitely know that he was lying, and the mountain demon was not so easy to provoke.

"In this case, there is still a crisis in the mountains, but the ban can be lifted in advance, and I will investigate it in the future. Zhu Hong took the two long knives and placed them on the stone table beside him.

He sighed lowly: "The people in the town are difficult, and there are dangers in the mountains, and the life of the townspeople is not easy." ”

Qu Tao didn't answer, but he could see that the person in front of him was indeed a person under the rule of worry, and it was no wonder that the people in the town believed in him, not just because he was a cultivator in the Yuan Root Realm.

"This matter is over, you should be rewarded, yesterday I promised that after coming back, each person will have a Qi Accumulation Pill, since only you can come back, then the remaining four will be given to you together." ”

Zhu Hong waved his hand, and a porcelain vase fell.

Qu Tao was overjoyed, and after taking it, he said: "Thank you, sir." ”

This is a rare good thing, it is rare for the town to be generous, and he naturally has no reason to refuse.

"As for your festival with the Wang family today, I already know about it, I am an old acquaintance with Qu Sheng, so naturally I will not watch your family be humiliated, don't have the idea of seeking revenge after you go back, I will greet the Wang family in this matter." ”

Qu Tao was stunned for a moment, he didn't have much contact with the head of the town on weekdays, and the identities of the two were too different, so he didn't know the reason for this, and he didn't even know that the uncle actually had a relationship with the head of the town, but he still thanked him in his heart.

"Thank you, sir. ”

"It's just a pity that Qu Sheng was hurt by the mountain demon's anger, if there is no demon blood, I'm afraid it will be difficult to heal. Speaking of this, Zhu Hong sighed.

Qu Tao's heart moved, remembering that there was still half a gourd white wolf blood in the gourd on his body, and he hesitated for a moment and said: "My lord, in fact, the younger generation found the demon blood in the deep mountains. ”

Zhu Hong's expression was straight, and he said: "The mountain demon is not a mortal thing, with your realm at this time, there is only one dead end when you encounter it, don't you treat the beast as a mountain demon?"

Qu Tao already had a draft, so he said: "That's indeed the mountain demon, I designed to lure that monster out, so that it and the mountain demon were both defeated, so I picked up a hole and found some demon blood back." ”

Zhu Hong glanced at Qu Tao meaningfully, there was a loophole in this statement, but he didn't delve into it, but said, "Where is the demon blood?"

Qu Tao took the gourd off.

Zhu Hong pulled out the stopper, and as soon as he bent his fingers, a blood bead flew out of the mouth of the gourd, dripping and turning in front of him, he frowned slightly, and looked quietly.

"Whew. ”

He spewed a glow at the blood bead, and the next moment he saw the blood bead tremble slightly, and there was a crystal glow on it, and a palm-sized phantom appeared from it, which was the white wolf.

"Strange, this is indeed demon blood, but it is different, ordinary demon blood is not so condensed, this blood pill can even manifest a phantom, it is really not simple. ”

Hearing this, Qu Tao knew that the other party must have doubts about his words.

The latter said: "What's even more strange is that there is no evil qi in this demon blood, it is very warm, and it is best to use it to nourish the divine soul." ”

He said to Qu Tao: "This thing is available. ”

"Please also ask the adults to help!" Qu Tao hurriedly bowed and begged.

"It's fine. ”

Zhu Hong nodded and said loudly: "Someone is coming." ”

As soon as the words fell, a person walked in outside, it was Peng Zheng, who seemed to have been waiting outside.

"Your Excellency. ”

"Go and invite Qu Sheng. ”

Peng Zheng was a little surprised, but he still took the order, and Qu Tao hurriedly spoke up in the back: "There are also my aunt and little sister, please call them together." ”

Peng Zheng didn't answer, he had already walked away, but he must have heard it, Qu Tao relaxed slightly, and then began to be a little apprehensive, I don't know if this white wolf blood has any effect on the uncle's injury.

Zhu Hong saw Qu Tao's uneasiness, and said, "Although I don't know what kind of demon beast's blood this thing is, it must have been useful for your uncle's injury." ”

"That's fine. ”

Qu Tao was relieved at this time.

After a while, I saw Peng Zheng leading a few people to the side courtyard, Uncle Qu Sheng was carried on his back, and his aunt looked nervous, pulling his little sister to follow closely behind.

"Brother. ”

Seeing Qu Tao present, the little girl Qu Chan cheered and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Shen.

Qu Tao hurriedly stepped forward, took Qu Chan from Shen's hand, held it in his arms, and said to Shen: "Auntie, don't worry, the town head sent someone to bring the uncle here to treat his injuries." ”

Shen's eyes lit up, full of excitement, "Thank you, sir." ”

After saying that, she covered her mouth and began to cry, since her husband was paralyzed in bed, she had been so frightened that every time she opened her eyes in the middle of the night, she was afraid to see a cold corpse.

"Brother, will Daddy get better?" Qu Chan is young and doesn't really understand what this means.

"It will be fine, it will be better in the future. Qu Tao nodded affirmatively.

Zhu Hong spoke at this time: "Come with me." ”

Several people came to a side hall together, Qu Sheng was put on the bed, Zhu Hong let the rest of the people go down, and only Qu Tao, Shen and Qu Chan were left at the scene.

Looking at Qu Sheng, who was lying unconscious on the bed, Shen couldn't cry anymore, but he covered his mouth tightly and didn't let himself cry.

The little girl Qu Chan was infected, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

"Rest assured, the injuries on his body have long been controlled, and the fainting is also due to the damage to his soul, and now that he has demon blood, it is not difficult to wake it up, and he can cultivate more in the future. ”

As Zhu Hong spoke, he pointed to the gourd, and the fingertips overflowed with crystal and connected to the mouth of the gourd, and the red wolf blood gushed out of it, gathered together, and condensed into a ball of blood in mid-air.
