Before encountering the spirit flute, Zhao Xiao had been practicing the art of tuna for many years. Huaiying Pavilion may not be as famous as Chongxuan Pavilion in Dongshengdu, but Zhang Duanjing, the first seat of the contemporary Huaiying Pavilion, is also a well-known Qi refiner.

Zhao Xiao's grandfather and Zhang Duanjing are old friends, so he got a lot of guidance on the way to breathe and refine qi, in addition to being light and healthy, especially good at running, and walking like flying with a bamboo basket on his back.

"What the hell! There is such a demon vine hidden in Lishan! Doesn't Mr. Zhu even have the means to protect the cave? Zhao Xiao scolded in his heart.

"You just ran away?" Lingxiao asked.

"What if you don't run?" Zhao Xiao was a little angry: "It's not like you haven't seen that demon vine!" He occupies the Yanquan Cave and swallows the mountain qi to nourish himself, it has become the climate, and I am tired of fighting with him! ”

"You have little experience." Ling Xiao reminded: "The grass and tree spirits are not like mortal beasts, and even if they become climates, it is still difficult for their original bodies to move elsewhere. ”

Zhao Xiao suddenly understood: "Mr. Zhu has lived in Yanquan Cave for a long time, this is definitely not the place where the demon vine first took root, it has just moved!" ”

Ling Xiao said: "When the grass and trees move their roots, there is still a risk of withering, not to mention the demon vines that are greedy for qi and blood? ”

"So you think the demon vine is weakening right now?" Zhao Xiao shook his head again: "No, I tried it just now, I fought hard like this, the demon vine occupies the mountainous area, and I have no chance of winning!" In a hurry, I was ill-prepared and couldn't cope. ”

Lingxiao's tone was a little displeased: "If you are cowardly in battle, how will you take responsibility in the future?" ”

"Immortals! Can you consider the situation of me, a small man, a little dung trillion! Zhao Xiao said helplessly: "I don't have the magic power of the immortal family to slash the demon demon, if I rush up and be stabbed by the demon vine, I will be used as a marionette like Mr. Zhu, but no one will take you back to the Zhenyuan Jade Mansion!" ”

Ling Xiao stopped talking now, and I don't know if he was persuaded by Zhao Xiao, or he was too lazy to entangle with him.

As for Zhao Xiao, first of all, he is not the kind of character who has to draw his sword in the face of danger, and secondly, he doesn't like to act without being sure. At the moment, he knows very little about the demon vine, and if something happens, he doesn't even have backup in Lishan!

Zhang Duanjing taught Zhao Huang that he should pay attention to a variety of techniques and methods, and have his own restraint strategy for dealing with different enemies, rather than having to be brave with one person and one sword.

Zhao Xiao was still running wildly, and there was a sudden burst of qi in the direction of Yanquan Cave, like an invisible wave spreading to the mountains, and then there were wolf howls one after another in the mountains and forests in response.

"I've heard for a long time that the grass and tree spirits in the mountains can lure animals and beasts and act as dependents." Zhao Xiao held a Qingxuan pen in his hand and drew a qi prohibition talisman on the palm of his left hand.

As soon as Fu was drawn, the fishy wind hit from behind, Zhao Xiao didn't look back, his left palm was facing back, and he shouted in a low voice: "Fixed!" ”

Before a wild wolf pounced on Zhao Xiao, his body was as stiff as wood and stone, and he fell to the ground.

Zhao Xiao didn't spend much effort to see at all, he could hear the sound of trampling of branches and leaves in the woods, and the wolves in the mountains were all ordered by the demon vines, and now escape is the first priority!

And among the trees, Zhao Xiao happened to see the young master of the Dai family with a rickety figure and broken clothes, at this moment his eyes are green, his mouth and nose are prominent, and his hair is vigorous, he already has obvious signs of a beast, and the spirit and evil spirit may have penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

"Fixed, fixed...... Decide! ”

After drinking one after another, Zhao Xiao stopped the wolves who had gone forward one after another, leaving behind a wild wolf that was as stiff as wood and stone, unable to move.

This qi forbidden talisman was deduced and created by Huaiying Pavilion from the method of qi forbidden. The ancient method of qi prohibition also needs to be based on breathing and refining qi, and those who have practiced it can enter and exit water and fire without being wet or burned, live with patients without being infected with epidemic qi, and can also prohibit tigers, leopards, snakes, insects, mountain spirits and water monsters, and even forbid ambushes within a radius of dozens of miles.

It's just that the method of qi prohibition requires profound and subtle qi refining and cultivation, and ordinary magicians are far beyond it. The Qi Forbidden Talisman is to use the power of the charm to regulate the true qi in the body, and there are only a few people who can be forbidden at a time, which is convenient for casting and saving true qi.

However, in the face of the continuous attacks of the wolves, Zhao Xiao also felt that there was a slight hindrance in the circulation of the true qi in his body, and it was extremely unfavorable for him to continue to fight like this.

As if seeing that Zhao Huang was really angry, the young master of the Dai family, who was watching from a distance, seemed to have received an order, grinned and roared, and rushed straight towards Zhao Xiao.

"It's over, isn't it?!"

Zhao Xiao naturally saw it clearly, he spit out a wisp of true qi towards the Qing Xuan pen, instantly wrote a talisman, and recited the mantra:

"The tiger becomes mighty, and all evils are filmed!"

The pen blade Bai Mang confided, and a tiger roar that shook the mountains and forests came out, and the young master of the Dai family collided with the tiger roaring Bai Mang head-on, his clothes were shattered into strands of silk, and his whole body was lifted out.

The roar of the tiger immediately shocked the wolves living in the field, Zhao Xiao seized the opportunity, pulled his legs and galloped, and soon rushed out of the edge of the mountain forest, and the wolves did not chase after him.

The scorching sun hung high, Zhao Xiao supported his knees with both hands, kept panting, and looked at Lishan from time to time.

"The Hidden Text of the Divine Tiger is a magical method for controlling evil, specifically restraining the spirits and sneaky, and the edge is majestic, which I created according to the true shape and charm of the white-fronted public." Ling Xiao's cold voice sounded: "However, if you want to perform this method smoothly, you must at least familiarize the true qi of the Five Tibets and merge it into Guan Yuan." Forcibly urging like you is not beneficial to cultivation. ”

"I'm saving my life!" Zhao Xiao carefully adjusted his breath. Frequently urging the True Qi to perform spells may leave untreatable damage to the internal organs and meridians, damaging the foundation of cultivation and even the vitality of life.

"The condition of the young master of the Dai family is even worse than I expected, I can't dispel the possessed spirit after taking a tiger power spitting spell, is my cultivation shallow to this extent? It's been less than a day since the young master of the Dai family became like this, so he's better than me? "Zhao Xiao is a little difficult, the spell he used just now can be regarded as his means to press the bottom of the box now.

"I'm afraid it's not a spirit possession this time." Lingxiao said.

"Oh?" Zhao Xiao's mind turned: "Could it be a demon change?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" This is a rare doubt for Lingxiao.

Zhao Xiao explained to her: "During the Great War of the Five Nations, all countries exhausted their means. Among them, there are many divine birds in the Western Yaochi Kingdom, and in order to cultivate a strong army, the Yaochi Kingdom injects the spiritual blood of the divine birds into the mortals, trying to cultivate warriors with the mana of the divine birds. ”

"Yaochi Country? Is it the country opened by the fairy mother of Yaochi Guishan? Lingxiao asked.

"Yaochi Turtle Mountain Fairy Mother? You mean Our Lady of Yaochi, right? It was the god that Yaochi Kingdom believed in, and the Divine Bird was her messenger. Zhao Xiao said.

"Time has migrated, and it seems that the Turtle Mountain Fairy Mother has long since passed away." Ling Xiao showed an emotional tone: "According to what you just said, if the spiritual blood of the Divine Bird is injected into the body of mortals, I am afraid that there will be no good results." The Turtle Mountain Fairy Mother drove many Luan, phoenix and Xuanyu, all of which were extraordinary, and their blood was also extraordinary. ”

"Almost." Zhao Xiao said: "Those mortals who were injected with the spiritual blood of the divine bird, half of them died on the spot, but the other half underwent unprecedented changes, the skeleton was distorted, the body was born with bird feathers, and some people could even fly in the air, resisting the wind. Yaochi State called this feathering, and other countries contemptuously called it a 'demon transformation'. ”

"Feathering? Ridiculous! Lingxiao's tone was cold: "Mortals fight with each other, but they draw the spiritual blood of the divine bird, for their own selfishness, and they still want to claim to be feathered?" ”

"Maybe the spiritual blood was given by the divine bird on its own initiative?" As soon as Zhao Xiao finished saying this, he felt a chill in the depths of his brain.

It can only be said that immortals also have temperament, and Zhao Xiao hurriedly opened the topic: "The situation of the young master of the Dai family can also be roughly classified as a demon change." If this is the case, it will be very troublesome to deal with, at least it will not be solved in the fighting method. It is necessary to capture people alive and slowly eliminate them by various means. ”

But the young master of the Dai family was obviously ordered by the demon vine, not to mention that Zhao Xiao was captured alive, it was good to be able to jump out of Lishan alive.

"You're a wolf, aren't you?" Zhao Xiao stared in the direction of Lishan: "Then don't blame me for calling someone." ”

……

"Huh? Report to the officer? ”

When Master Dai heard Zhao Xiao's proposal, he was so frightened that he almost fell off the ginseng soup in his hand.

"Not bad." Zhao Xiao nodded heavily: "I'll just say it directly, the demon vine in Lishan has already killed Mr. Zhu, and I can only come back by escaping death during the day." Ling Lang is now deluded by the demon vine, driven by his orders, if I really want to rescue him, I can't do it alone. ”

Master Dai's fingers trembled slightly, and the whole person sat in the circle chair, Zhao Xiao continued: "Master Dai, don't worry, since I am a talisman of Huaiying Pavilion, I have the right to be a counselor to the local government when dealing with disasters and ominous things and strange things. As long as you say hello to the Chengyang County Commander, I will arrange the manpower affairs, and I will do my best to save Ling Lang safely. ”

"Okay, the old man will go and talk to the county magistrate." The old man of the Dai family also regained a trace of spirit.

Zhao Xiao continued: "I plan to go to the General Temple in the south of the city again, but I didn't find Wang Miaoshou on the way back before. He is extraordinary, and he has also saved Ling Lang. ”

"Okay, okay, Zhao Sheng, let's go to the event. What is missing, despite the opening. ”

After Zhao Huang left Lishan, he turned around and returned to Chengyang County. He couldn't deal with the demon vine alone, so naturally he called more people to come together. Zhao Huang alone can't order the local governor, but through the identity and status of the Dai family's master, things are much easier, not to mention that it is also related to the life and safety of the Dai family's young master.

Letting the local governor contribute is not expecting them to fight with the demon vine, it is nothing more than to contain the wolves driven by the demon vine. Those who can really deal with demon vines have to have real magic cultivation or strong martial arts.

Zhao Xiao thought about sending a letter to Huaiyingguan, maybe he could invite a few classmates to help, but he didn't really want to give the credit to others, so he naturally found Wang Miaoshou.

When I came to the General's Temple again, the sky gradually darkened. The countryside outside the city was also silent, and there were not even many lights. A few barking dogs in the distance, coupled with the ruins and broken walls, made the place look desolate. Placing the disabled veterans of the War of the Five Kingdoms here seems to bring the ruins of the War of the Five Kingdoms with you.

The general's temple is not big, with a low earthen wall outside, and a shrine inside, dedicated to General Jianwu of the Tianxia Dynasty. The shrine is single-toned and clean, and there is an offering table in front of the stone statue, but there are no offerings, and the situation is not desolate.

At the moment, there was no one in the temple, Zhao Xiao looked left and right, and Ling Xiao said coldly: "Look at the looks." ”

Zhao Huang understood the meaning of the words, launched the Ying Xuan Illumination Technique, and noticed that the stone statue was empty.

"It seems that General Jianwu is no longer here to divide the spirit." Zhao Xiao sighed: "That's right, the Tianxia Dynasty is dead, and this former general can't talk about any incense and credibility, and it's normal that it is difficult to continue." ”

Zhao Xiao's heart suddenly jumped, and footsteps came from behind him.

"Zhao Fu? Why are you here again? ”

Zhao Xiao turned his head and turned around, Wang Miaoshou was carrying a jujube stick, looking a little surprised.

"I came to look for you, and I just asked around, and others said that you went to work in the city, so I waited in the General's Temple." Zhao Xiao asked, "Am I too annoying?" ”

"No, no!" Wang Miaoshou smiled all over his face, and hurriedly dragged a stool from the side and invited Zhao Huang to sit down: "Zhao Fuyi came so late, is it for the young master of the Dai family?" ”

"That's right." Zhao Xiao was a little embarrassed: "I went to Lishan during the day, guess what I saw?" ”

"What?" Wang Miaoshou looked like he had just gone out to work, and quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"A demon vine that has become a climate!" Zhao Xiao patted his thigh and said: "This thing has already killed Mr. Zhu, occupying the Yanquan Cave in the mountain, and it seems that it is still growing, if it drags on any longer, I am afraid it will become a local disaster!" ”

"It's the first time I've heard about demon vines." Wang Miaoshou asked, "Then, what is Zhao Fu going to do?" ”

"Got it!" Zhao Xiao was unceremoniously: "Cut down the branches, uproot them, and then burn them clean!" Why did he keep this kind of monster left? The young master of the Dai family is now fascinated by this demon vine, if he lets it go, it will definitely cause more trouble! ”

"This ...... Okay, Zhao Fu guards one side, and the people will be grateful. Wang Miaoshou said with a smile.

Zhao Xiao shook his head: "This light is useless to me, I have tried it during the day, and the demon vine is still driving a group of wolves, and it is not easy to deal with." I have already told Master Dai to ask him to ask the Chengyang County Commander, convene the patrol officials, and preferably the Orion, take the one hundred and ten people up the mountain, and kill the wolves first. In addition, it is necessary to prepare something to start a fire and set fire directly to the rock spring cave. ”

Wang Miaoshou was stunned for a moment, and Zhao Xiao asked, "What?" Am I not right? ”

"I thought, can ordinary patrol officers do these things?" Wang Miaoshou looked worried.

Zhao Xiao replied: "It's not a big problem to deal with the wolves, and in the end, we will have to fight with the demon vines, I'm afraid we still have to take action." ”

"We?"

"That's right." Zhao Xiao said with a smile: "I came to the General's Temple this time, just to ask the Wang Temple to guard." With your martial arts, coupled with my spells, you can deal with the demon vines in the mountains. And I can also see that the demon vine has only recently moved its foundation to Lishan, and now it is the time when it is weak! ”

Wang Miaoshou didn't say a word when he heard this, Zhao Xiao saw that he seemed to hesitate, and he was in a hurry, and added: "And I also thought about it, this time there are demons in Lishan, mainly because of the lack of incense and the prosperous ritual gods protect the water, soil and mountains." After this incident, I will definitely try my best to promote the county order to rebuild the General Temple, so that the Wang Temple can be decently beautiful, and there is no need to run around and work hard. ”
