Chapter 24 Tracking

The young man gasped and took a moment to finish his story.

"I am from Huangyuan Village, called Zhou An, the day before yesterday I went to the temple with my wife to worship the Buddha, but unexpectedly a thief entered the temple and slaughtered monks, and my wife and I finally escaped."

"But the thief still doesn't let go, he keeps chasing us, and in desperation, I can only lead the thief away alone."

"Lest my wife fall into the mouth of the tiger."

Li Jiuan stepped forward and looked at the young man carefully, and when he saw that there was no problem, he smiled calmly.

"Don't be afraid, go find your wife, that thief..."

As he spoke, the Taoist priest pointed to the ground.

"It will be the same as them."

......

The forest is full of tall trees, and insects and birds are singing endlessly.

Li Jiuan held the long sword in his arms and leaned against the tree to rest.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps.

Open your eyes.

I saw a burly man running from a distance with a long knife on his back.

Li Jiuan moved his body, held the sword in one hand, and walked to the middle of the road.

He deliberately chose a place far away from the village, in case he didn't stop the thieves, so as not to harm the village again.

When the visitor saw someone blocking the road in front of him, his steps slowed down.

"Wuna Daoist, get out of the way."

"What if you don't let the poor way."

Li Jiuan lifted the long sword, placed it across his chest, and stared at the reckless man's long knife.

Seeing this, the man didn't talk nonsense, took the long knife from his back, accelerated his steps again, and rushed over.

This momentum is even more terrifying than the tiger descending the mountain.

In Li Jiu'an's eyes, although the reckless Han people have not yet arrived, their momentum has surged over like a stormy wave.

Magical powers: swordsmanship.

The body moves with his heart, and the long sword turns into a swimming fish swimming in the waves, and can be dexterously dodged every time he is about to be smashed by the waves.

In this way, dozens of rounds of grappling were held.

The reckless man became anxious in his heart, if he was stopped for a long time, it would be a trivial matter to lose it, and if that kid was eaten by a monster, how could he explain to the brothers under Jiuquan.

"Hmph, hah."

So he didn't keep his hand anymore, and with a loud shout in his mouth, a black shadow appeared behind him, and then strands of black qi wrapped around the long knife.

Li Jiuan was caught off guard and was affected by the black qi, although the mana circulation quickly recovered, he could only hurriedly put the long sword across his chest and block the long knife.

"Bell."

There was a loud bang.

A huge force was transmitted from the long knife, and Li Jiuan was knocked out.

Fortunately, he has supernatural powers, and after so many days of cultivation, his physical fitness has been greatly improved.

Otherwise, just one blow will knock him unconscious.

"Evil cultivators?"

Spells are weapons, and if they are used to kill demons and demons, they are righteous people, and if they are used to slaughter mortals, they are called evil cultivators.

And the soul is the favorite material of evil cultivators.

The black shadow behind the reckless man is clearly a living soul, and there are quite a few of them.

"Fart."

The reckless man scolded angrily and asked rhetorically.

"Demon Dao?"

"Serious Taoist."

"Then what are you stopping me from?"

"Heh, don't stop you, let you go and set fire to kill?"

"Fuck your shit, I've never done such a thing."

The reckless man who was extremely angry and well-known in himself was actually considered by this Taoist priest to be a robber who killed people and set fires.

I just wanted to continue to spit out the fragrance, but I saw that this Taoist priest was a little familiar.

I was in a hurry just now, but I didn't recognize it.

"Are you the Taoist priest who was a super zombie that day?"

Li Jiuan looked at it carefully a few more times before remembering.

"You're that... Xu Mo? ”

......

Relying on a little fate before, the two finally put down their weapons and made things clear.

"That's poor, isn't it?"

Li Jiuan made a blessing happily and bent down slightly to express his apology.

"It's okay, the Taoist chief is also eager to save people's hearts." Xu Mo waved his hand.

Li Jiuan has many questions, but now is not the right time, it is not the time to ask, it is better to find the talent first.

After another rapid journey, the two soon returned to the village.

"He's gone."

The old man looked at the big man beside the Taoist priest with a frightened face.

"It's okay, he's an officer and soldier, don't be afraid." Li Jiuan first comforted the old man, and then continued to ask.

"Can you tell me which direction the man is going?"

"It's... I really don't know. ”

The old man dragged a few villagers to ask for a long time, but no one saw the whereabouts of the young man, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

"It must be the demon fox's means."

Xu Mo frowned and looked outside the village.

There were several roads outside the village, and I didn't know where to go for a while.

"Brother Xu, let the poor road lead the way."

Seeing this, Li Jiuan took out a yellow talisman from his arms and said to Xu Mo.

Punching the dragon jade talisman.

There is a saying in Taoism that there are gods living in different parts of the human body, and there are twenty-four in total.

It is called the three parts, eight scenes, and twenty-four gods.

Among them, the nose god is called Chong Long Jade, and the word is flat.

This is the first time Li Jiuan has used this talisman.

At the moment when the yellow talisman burned, the Taoist priest only felt that all kinds of smells between heaven and earth were blowing on his face.

The fishy smell of rotting leaves, the smell of people, and even the smell of excrement in the distance.

These smells have been amplified thousands of times, and they all come in from the nose.

"Gross."

Li Jiuan didn't expect this talisman to be so powerful, he endured the discomfort and tried his best to distinguish between these smells.

Finally, I found the smell of the young man before.

It's the smell of a fox.

"Go this way."

Li Jiu'an didn't stay long, and after finding it, he set off immediately.

......

The forest is dark, and the demon fox is cunning.

In order to avoid being tracked, the demon fox waded through the water several times to clean the smell.

This also added a lot of difficulties to Li Jiu'an, if it weren't for Xu Mo's sharp eyes, he found a fragment of Zhou An's clothes on a tree branch, and he almost lost it.

Before you know it, the moon is already on the top.

On a slippery hillside, only a huge locust tree grew, its branches curled and vigorous, and its branches were luxuriant, covered with the wrinkles of time, and it was like a demon in the bright moonlight.

Until two people came closer.

"It's strange, the smell is broken at this point."

The Taoist priest stood in front of the locust tree, constantly feeling the residual smell in the air.

But no matter how hard he tried, the smell came to an end of nowhere.

Don't...?

Xu Mo was thoughtful beside him, raising his head and looking at the heights.

This locust tree is also growing too well, the canopy is tight and flourishing, presumably it is not a problem to hide a few people.

If you think of it, act immediately.

Xu Mo took a few steps back, then put on the posture of leaning on the iron mountain, and just rushed straight towards the trunk of the tree.

Then, he fell.

Li Jiuan watched Xu Mo crash headlong into the tree.

I see.

The Taoist priest was stunned for a moment and then figured it out, no wonder the taste was broken, and he couldn't find it.

Then he smiled.

Drew out his long sword and walked in from the place where Xu Mo had crashed into it just now.

Not long after they entered, the locust tree suddenly shrank inward and disappeared.
