From the suburbs of Bian where Sixuantai is located to Bian Du, it takes about two days to walk. In order to avoid attracting attention, the two did not use carriages and horses.

Ah Gu took the pill, and his vain pulse was indeed much better, and within three moments, he had almost recovered his face and spirit.

Both of them are martial arts practitioners, and their foot strength is much faster than ordinary people. After walking along the river for less than two hours, I saw a small town ahead.

There is a yellowed flag in the field of vision, and the saint's eyesight is very strong, and it can be vaguely seen that it is the word "wine".

"Ah Gu, let's take a rest in front, and I'll probe your pulse again to see if you need to take another pill. The saint was a little worried about Ah Gu's body, so she proposed.

Ah Gu nodded: "Okay, there are not many people here, it's good to rest in front for a while." ”

When the two approached the wine flag, they saw that the town was almost uninhabited. Most of the men of school age have already been recruited, and occasionally what they hear in their ears is only the sharp cry of children.

The town was eerily quiet, not even the sound of chickens and ducks.

"I'm afraid it's another place that has been ransacked by the demon clan. The holy woman pulled Ah Gu and said in a low voice.

"It's better not to ask," Ah Gu gave her a color and lowered his voice, "It's not the demon clan over there. I heard from the people of the Canglang Alliance that it was the snake demon of Yanqi in the West. ”

"Winged fiery serpent?" asked the saint.

"Yes, the snake demons of Yanqi all have one wing, and a single demon can't fly, but when the two are combined, they have two wings and can fly. ”

Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, in addition to the Hachi wolf demon, Yanqi's snake demon also secretly approached Bian Du.

And the Imperial City of Bian Du was rotten, causing the people to suffer.

"If I can lead the troops into battle, I will definitely destroy the demon clan," the saint thought to herself, "It's a pity that I'm just a person from the rivers and lakes, and I can do it to rob some cattle from the Shi clan and take the pill to save the sect leader." ”

Just thinking about it, the old shopkeeper of this tea shop brought two large bowls of tea. The Holy Maiden and Ah Gu took it and drank it.

This tea is brewed from dried oranges, which is supposed to be refreshing and fragrant, but when they drink it, they only feel sour and bitter in their mouths.

The old shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "Two, my family has planted orange trees for generations, but this year our town has suffered, and this underground ...... Hey, don't say it, the taste of this dried orange tea is not as good as before, so I can only grieve the two. ”

"You're talking about the snake demon underground?" said the advisor.

The shopkeeper looked panicked and said, "It's useless to talk more, I'll go and serve some food to the two of you." ”

It takes half a year for an orange to grow from knot to growth. It can be seen that under the ground of this small town not far from Bian, a snake demon came at least half a year ago.

The winged flame snake, usually lying in the ground, can transform into a human form, no different from a human, and sees a great drought. It's no wonder that the oranges here become sour and bitter.

At that time, the Great Summoning Country was already rampant with the demon clan. The emperor was seriously ill, and his eight sons fought against each other, and the people had just won the battle for this king, and they were immediately conscripted into the command of another king.

Sometimes, I don't know which prince or prince I am fighting for, but I have to fight.

In a few years, the East Palace changed hands, and only two kings of Anyang and Nanliang were left. And during this period, the demon clan has long been eyeing it.

The saint and Ah Gu were in a hurry, not wanting to get involved in what was happening in this town, so they didn't ask any more questions.

Ah Gu took out a bag of things from his arms, carefully unfolded them, and said to the holy woman: "Sister, you eat some of this, it is very sweet, and it will not be bitter if you eat it." ”

"What is this?" asked the saint.

That thing is black and not slippery, wrinkled, can it be delicious?

Ah Gu smiled: "This is a kind of candied fruit, it is the dried fruit of grapes, you taste it." The Canglang League brought it from Hachi. ”

In the latter sentence, he lowered his voice and said it in a breathy voice.

The saint half-convinced picked up one and put it into her mouth. Well, this thing is pretty sweet.

"Sister, can I ask you something?"

"What?"

"How did you learn to watch the stars and divination?" said Agu with a look of adoration and curiosity.

"Well," said the saint, "I was born to do it." ”

"I don't believe it, why does my sister treat me like a child?"

The saint said impatiently: "It's true that you were born to do it." What about the wonders that have happened to me? I have seen the gods!"

Ah Gu's eyes showed envy, you must know that in that era, the world believed in the theory of gods and demons very much.

If a person wants to say that he has seen immortals with his own eyes, others will not doubt it.

A consultant said: "The fairy that my sister saw, is it a fairy as beautiful as my sister?"

The saint finally smiled: "It's beautiful, but it's not a fairy, it's two young immortals who look exactly the same." I've seen them in my dreams several times. ”

Ah Gu became a little nervous: "It's a man?"

The saint gave him a blank look.

The shopkeeper brought out a plate of pastries and two bowls of clear soup from the store. The two of them got up early in the morning and walked for a long time, and now their stomachs were already empty, so they picked up the cake and ate it with soup.

The cake was still fluffy, but the soup that had just come out was a little cold.

The saintess always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say anything for a while, just urged Ah Gu to eat quickly and leave this place quickly.

After eating, the saint asked the shopkeeper, "How much money is there?"

The shopkeeper stretched out his finger and compared it with a "three".

At that time, the feudal clans minted their own silver coins, and the weight loss was very prosperous, and the holy woman saw that the shop was pitiful, so she took out three copper coins of full weight and put them on the table.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly bent down and handed over his hand, and cleaned up a few tea bowls and saucers on the table.

Bidding farewell to the shopkeeper, the saint and Ah Gu continued to walk in the direction of Bian Du.

Less than a moment after the walk, the holy woman suddenly asked Ah Gu: "Do you feel that there is something wrong with that town just now?"

Ah Gu said: "Listening to what the shopkeeper said, I am afraid that there is an ambush in that town. However, I have heard from the people of the Canglang Alliance about the Flame Snake, which lays its eggs underground and takes a long time to hatch. ”

"That's right," said the holy woman, "according to the shopkeeper, there must be eggs of the Flame Serpent under the ground of that town, and perhaps there are Flame Snakes that have reached adulthood and can transform into human form." ”

"But from Yan Qi, the hometown of the Yan Snake, ...... here," Ah Gu hesitated, "The journey is very long, how can they bury the snake's eggs here?"

"That's what I find strange," said the holy woman, looking at Agu, "according to the shopkeeper, a large number of snake eggs were buried in the ground at least half a year ago. And the Flame Snake Egg is a good tonic for other demon clans to replenish demon power. ”

In troubled times, not to mention that people can't eat enough, even demons can't eat enough.

Ah Gu heard this and thought for a moment.

The saint then muttered, "These snake eggs must never be left unattended...... But where did the demons go...... Not good—"

She suddenly figured it out and said to Ah Gu, "You wait here, I have to go back to that town." ”

"No," Ah Gu said busily, "we have to go together." ”

The holy woman thought about it for a while, but she still didn't want to leave Ah Gu here alone, so she said, "Okay, you follow me, don't act rashly." ”

The two of them hurried back to the town, found a hidden place, and secretly looked at the tea shop where they had just rested.

In the distance, I saw two passers-by drinking tea and resting there, it seemed that they had traveled a long way, and when they had just arrived here, they seemed to be dusty.

The shopkeeper brought two bowls of water and put them on the table, and the two passers-by arched their hands and said, "Thank you." ”

"Sure enough......," the holy woman said in a very low voice, "this town is full of demons. ”

"What-" Before Ah Gu could finish his words, he was covered by the holy woman.
