Time: July 7, 12th year of Yongping

Location: South Heluohuai Road, Fuzhou, Yulin County.

What is "off"? A place to guard where traffic is dangerous.

On land, there are Shanhaiguan and Longmen Pass to prevent the demon country from going south.

This estuary is naturally also about guarding against the demon clan in the sea, and it goes straight into the hinterland of the human race along the river.

A hundred years ago, there were nine demon dragons who intended to detain the invasion, but fortunately they were rescued by the sword god Lingxiao Daoren, and fought fiercely for several days, killing eight towns and one.

Now that a hundred years have passed, the demon dragon that was suppressed at the beginning is ready to move.

This mission requires:

Continue to suppress or slay the demon dragon.

(Return can only be started by completing the quest.) ）

Li Jiu'an didn't know how many times he put down the ancient book in his hand, and he was still a little dazed in his heart.

When I first came, it was April, and now it's July.

It's also strange that the mission description this time is a little vague, neither did he say when the demon dragon broke the seal, nor did he explain where the seal was, so how could he find it?

There is only one vague target, the place where the sword god and the demon dragon fought fiercely, Qiantang Pass.

So since he called, he has been moving towards this goal along the way, and at the same time, if he encounters any injustices on the road, or encounters demons and chaos, he will also take care of it.

He killed a lot of people and killed a lot of demons.

It's just that the news of this demon dragon still hasn't made much progress.

Let's take a step at a time, and you can always find some clues when you get to Qiantang Pass.

Li Jiuan put the ancient book back in his arms and continued to walk forward.

Suddenly, I saw a scholar squatting under a big tree in the forest in front of me who was packing his luggage.

"This layman, please ask, how to get to Gaojiazhuang?"

The scholar was confused, and put the items in his hand into the package over and over again, and there seemed to be no end.

“...”

"Layman, may I ask how to get to Gaojiazhuang?"

"Ahh The scholar seemed to be a little hard of hearing, and he didn't hear it clearly until Li Jiuan approached and asked again.

"Dao Chief, this Gaojiazhuang, it's here, it's here, it's in..."

Li Jiuan is not in a hurry, since he took the bounty of Yulin County, he has been looking for this Gaojiazhuang for several days, not bad for this time, the shocking wood demon before was just passing by.

The wind blows the forest and the sea, startling a forest bird.

After a long time, the scholar finally spoke.

"Dao Chief, the scholar has been in this forest for a long time, and I really can't remember it clearly." The scholar shook his head and said: "The scholar only remembered that he was also going to Gaojiazhuang, but he met a beautiful woman halfway through, and he was delayed, that woman..."

"Layman, can you show the way to the poor road?"

It's probably been too long since I've met anyone to communicate, and Li Jiuan saw that this scholar had the urge to tell his love story in one go, so he hurriedly interrupted it.

"Where is the Taoist going, oh yes, Gaojiazhuang..."The scholar put down his belongings and raised his hand to point to the dark forest, "Probably in the depths of the forest." ”

After that, the scholar did not pack his luggage, but picked up the items in his hand and put them in front of his eyes to look at them carefully.

It was a belly pocket, because of the age, the original bright color had become dull at this time, but in the memory of the scholar, it was always so beautiful.

Another gust of wind blew, and the scholar accidentally didn't hold it steady, and was blown up by the wind, floating into the air, and swinging into the distance.

The scholar hurriedly chased after him, but his belly pocket was far away from the branches, how could he get it?

So the scholar was in a hurry, and jumped up, and then also rose with the wind, followed the wind over the treetops, swam over the branches, and soon disappeared from Li Jiu'an's field of vision.

It should be a very tragic and unforgettable love story, Li Jiuan thought.

But what does this have to do with me?

Poor Dao just wants to get rid of the monster as soon as possible, so that he can use its head to earn some bounty as travel expenses, and then use its demon pill to drink.

Thinking of this, Li Jiuan picked up the wine bottle on his waist and shook it, and then took a small sip.

It's not much, you have to save some drinks.

Then he tightened the strap of the long sword and walked towards the forest deep into nowhere.

......

"Dao Chief, Dao Chief."

Li Jiuan was walking alone in the forest, and suddenly there was a shout behind him.

Someone? Or is it inhuman?

The Taoist priest stopped and turned to where the sound had come from.

"Dao Chief, don't go forward."

The voice was closer, and Li Jiuan became more alert, holding the hilt of the sword with his backhand, because he still didn't realize who was speaking.

The dark deep forest, the lonely Taoist priest, and the sound of unknown origin form a strange picture.

"Dao Chief, there is danger ahead."

The voice seemed to sense something was wrong, and didn't come any closer.

And Li Jiuan finally found the source of the voice.

It was a flower spirit the size of a thumb, with a woman's body and butterfly-like wings behind it.

She was hiding behind a rose in front of her left, unaware that her great wings had betrayed her.

Li Jiu's mind of teasing rose in his heart, first pretending to walk to the other side, and then suddenly running two fast steps, and suddenly ran in front of Hua Ling.

"Ahh

Hua Ling was so frightened by the sudden appearance of the Taoist priest that he forgot to fan his wings and fell straight down from the air.

Fortunately, the Taoist priest was quick and reached out to catch it.

"You Taoist priest, scary."

Hua Ling lay on the palm of the Taoist priest's hand and said with an unhappy face.

Li Jiuan brought the flower spirit in front of him, he had only heard the old Taoist talk about the flower spirit, and this was the first time he had seen it.

According to the old Tao, the flower spirit is a natural elf, kind and timid, a good elf, and generally takes care of the garden for the mountain god for protection.

I don't know how this little flower spirit came here.

"Aren't you afraid that the poor will eat you?"

As he spoke, the Taoist priest opened his mouth and pretended to eat it.

saw Hua Ling's face of contempt, and snorted disdainfully.

"Don't scare me, you Taoist, I can be your aunt!"

Li Jiuan was shocked, and felt that his aunt's words were really inappropriate from Hua Ling's mouth, and he had a sense of disobedience.

"Don't believe it, I've been a sperm for more than 200 years, and I can't be your aunt and grandmother at this age in the world?"

Hua Ling stood up, his wings shook and flew in front of Li Jiu'an's eyes, his hands crossed his hips, and he looked at him menacingly.

Li Jiuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, this is compared to age, and it is really not comparable to monsters and elves, and it is measured in a hundred years at every turn.

"Hmph, by the way, Taoist priest, don't go any further, it's not safe in front."

Hua Ling flew up and down triumphantly, and then continued to remind him.

"Why? What are the dangers? ”

"There's a big monster in front of you, and it's going to eat people." As he spoke, Hua Ling stopped, a little sad, "Lord Mountain God has been injured, and then we have been reminded to pass by, don't go forward." ”

Li Jiuan was not afraid of anti-joy when he heard it, doesn't this mean that the destination is about to arrive, and immediately asked.

"That place is called Gaojiazhuang?"

"Yes."

Xiao Hualing hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Li Jiuan's face was awe-inspiring, that is.

"That's where the poor road comes."
