The night was deep and heavy, and there was silence in Wenlu County.

Since the drastic changes in the east of the city in the past, there are more and more disasters, and the demons are used to haunting at night, so there are curfews in various towns and towns in the bear country, and the city gates are closed after dark, except for the soldiers on the road, no idle people are allowed to haunt and come and go.

In the suburbs outside the city, the three figures came to a low farmhouse, and in the hazy moonlight, their strange appearance could be faintly seen, one had a fat head and a wide mouth, and two beards were outstretched, one wore a hat and webbed fingers, and one had swollen eyes and spit out, and opened his mouth to reveal a mouth full of jagged teeth.

"Did you get rid of that guy?" The swollen-eyed jagged man gasped.

The man wearing the hat looked around: "It shouldn't be that he didn't chase him, the water-shaped clone is the closest to our qi, and he must not be able to tell the difference." ”

The fat-headed and broad-mouthed man carried a large vat behind him, and sat down on the ground so tired: "No, I can't run." If I knew that I was so tired, I should have hurried away with water. ”

The swollen-eyed and sawtooth man sneered and said, "Third child, if you are not afraid of death, try it." The water flooded because of the earth's veins, and the water veins within a radius of hundreds of miles also broke out together. ”

The third child's whole person withered: "But we water tribes went to the ground, and our mana was lost by three or five percent, where can we beat those human monks?" ”

The swollen-eyed and sawtooth man also turned his head and asked, "Boss, I also think there is something wrong this time." Isn't it just to help the Rising Sun God Sect, why was he targeted by the masters of Taiyi Gate? ”

"It seems that the next time you see the people of the Rising Sun God Sect, you will have to ask for a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures." The boss raised his hat and looked at the city wall visible from the Mohu Lake in the distance: "The people they received should be in this Wenlu County, hurry up and get things done!" ”

The third child yawned, picked up the vat, and was about to leave, but he heard a shout from behind: "Treacherous and demonic!" I was almost deceived by you! ”

The shouts directly forced into the soul, and the three-headed monster was suddenly terrified, and he saw a burly man holding a bamboo cane, floating in the wind. In the vast night, his whole body glowed, bright but not dazzling, although it was simple and ordinary in linen clothes and shoes, it was difficult to hide a pure and righteous qi.

The man's shouting had not yet ended, and with a wave of the bamboo cane in his hand, it suddenly became longer and larger, as if the beams and pillars of the palace had collapsed violently, and the wind pressure forced his face to blow, blowing the boss's hat away.

The three demons were shocked, the third was at a loss, but the eldest and the second acted in unison, one sacrificed a fin bayonet to block the bamboo cane, and the other opened his mouth to spit out a thunderous frog roar, and the wind was suddenly full of fishy smell.

The frog roared and counterattacked, and the man felt that the seven orifices were as if they were being oppressed by a beating, but he gritted his teeth and stiffened, and the bamboo cane turned into a heavy staff shadow, trying to trap the three demons here.

"Not good!" The boss was the first to notice the man's intentions, and shouted in a low voice: "Third child, you go first, and go find someone from the Rising Sun God Sect to answer!" ”

"I'll clear the way!" The swollen-eyed and jagged second child danced his fin bayonet and cracked out a series of turbid water blades, shattering the shadows of the staff and opening a gap.

The third man who was carrying the vat wanted to cry without tears, he sighed, stepped up his clumsy legs, seemed to be slow, but the ground under his feet turned into a piece of slippery mud, and a puff of smoke rushed out of the cane shadow and went towards Wenlu County.

"How can it be so easy?!" The man in the sky was even more angry, holding a bamboo cane in his hand, and the light all over his body gathered on the cane, as if throwing a shuttle gun, and threw it at the running third child.

Seeing this, the boss immediately showed his original form, which was a huge giant frog like a millstone, which supported the ground on all fours, jumped to the ground, and his body flashed.

However, the bamboo cane condensed ten percent of the mana, even if it was the strong physique of the original body of the monster, it was inevitably pierced by the bamboo cane and suffered heavy injuries on the spot.

"Third child, run!" The giant frog, nailed to the ground by a bamboo cane, shouted hoarsely.

The man flew and fell, one foot on the top of the bamboo cane, and the giant frog only felt that the mountain was pressing on the top, and the flesh and blood seemed to be broken out, and he couldn't move.

"The demon doesn't want to escape!" The man pinched his hands and was about to perform a spell, when the second child plunged his fin bayonet into the ground, and the ground under the giant frog turned into a soft mud.

The man's body was unstable, and his spell was slightly sluggish, and the second child let out a deep sigh, and dozens of strange tentacles sprang out of the mire, entangling the man from all directions. The tentacles are tough and slippery, and the man can't get out of it with his luck several times.

The giant frog sank into the mire, and when the man saw this, he raised his true anger, and the light around his body turned into the shape of a sword, slashing the tentacles one by one, and then pulled out the bamboo cane and flew up.

The man was about to chase the fat-headed and broad-mouthed third child, but was blocked by several turbid waves, waved his bamboo cane to block it one after another, looked at the swollen-eyed and sawtooth second child on the ground, and said coldly: "The world is cloudy, you and other demons are really becoming more and more rampant!" ”

The second child rubbed his teeth in his mouth, and his voice was low: "We are just trying to make a living, you Chang Liezi have to chase after him, do you want to blame us for fighting back?" ”

"Still trying to quibble?" Chang Liezi waved his bamboo cane, swung the water blade, and said: "I clearly saw that you poisoned the well, causing the people of several villages to fall ill. ”

After saying that, the bamboo cane waved again, this time it did not directly attack the second child, but hit the ground, and suddenly hundreds of sharp bamboo shoots broke out like a sword mountain and a sword forest.

The second child hurriedly lifted up, but as a monster of the water tribe, he was not good at flying, and he was very heavy and turbid, but he was still injured by sharp bamboo shoots.

"Come on!" Chang Liezi waved his cane, and the bamboo shoots turned into a dense bamboo forest, clamping the second child's body.

Just as Chang Liezi was about to take the life of the second child, a long tongue catapulted from behind, wrapped around Chang Liezi's leg and shins, and dragged him back upside down, with amazing strength.

"Difficult!" Chang Liezi saw the giant frog boss crawling out of the mire, although he was seriously injured, he was still tenacious, and he could still stop himself.

"Kill you first, then chase that fish demon!"

Chang Liezi was also aroused to kill intent, and among the bamboo forests where the spell changed, the bamboo leaves fell scattered. It seems to be a light bamboo leaf, but it contains a sharp killing momentum, circling and surrounding, falling towards the giant frog like rain.

……

"What do you say? Does anyone know the whereabouts of a thousand clever moments? ”

Hearing the report from his subordinates, Deng Feibao was stunned for a moment.

A few days ago, he suddenly sensed that the Thousand Clever Moment was in Wenlu County, and Deng Feibao immediately sent people to secretly search for him in the city, and at the same time communicated privately with the local county magistrate, so that the messengers could strictly check the people who came and went.

It's a pity that he still can't find a thousand smart moments, Deng Feibao has been performing magic searches every few days in a row, although he occasionally senses that thousands of smart moments are in the city, but he can't always determine the specific location, which makes him irritable.

Deng Feibao remembered the sect leader's words, and now he could be sure that Tao Heling must have someone by his side to help, and the other party didn't know what means he used to blind the induction search of the hub Yuan Dan.

The other party stayed in Wenlu County for a few days and didn't leave, maybe he wanted to borrow the crowd to hide in the market, after all, a person who has achieved cultivation, if he really wants to hide, it is really not easy to find.

Deng Feibao thought about conducting a big search in the city, but he was short of manpower at the moment, and as the master of the Thousand Machines Pavilion, he did not have such real power, so he could only give generous gifts in private in exchange for the help of local officials.

"This is this person, who is telling stories outside the Martyrs' Shrine, and is actually arranging the affairs of the Thousand Machines Pavilion, and also mentioning the Thousand Machines Spiritual Moment, so we arrested him." The subordinate brought an old man in.

"Storytelling?" Deng Feibao stared at the cowering old man and asked, "Do you know the Thousand Machines Pavilion?" ”

The old man shook his mouth again and again, and his mouth trembled: "A good man spares his life!" Heroes spare their lives! The little old man is talking nonsense, offending the heroes, and he will never dare next time! ”

Deng Feibao glanced at the old man a few times and confirmed that he had no cultivation power, just an ordinary person, so he asked, "Okay, answer obediently...... Let me ask you, how do you know the Thousand Clever Moments? ”

"W-What?" The old man was puzzled.

Deng Feibao frowned and said, "If you continue to be hard-mouthed, then I have to use some ruthless methods." ”

With that, the subordinates on both sides pulled the old man's arms behind him, as if they could tear his arms off at any time.

"Heroes spare their lives!" The old man said, "I really don't know why you are asking about this! ”

"Still pretending?" Deng Feibao smiled coldly: "A storyteller like you, when you hear some rumors in the rivers and lakes, you make them up randomly, and I don't bother to pay attention to them." But you are so good that you don't die, but you mention a thousand clever moments, this thing is something that people like you can inquire? Tell me, who taught you this. ”

"Teach? No one taught! The old man cried: "The fact that Qianji Pavilion followed the great grandfather to fight the world has always been known to everyone. Isn't the treasure of the Thousand Machines Moment given to the Thousand Machines Pavilion by the great grandfather? ”

"What nonsense?! The thousand clever moments are clearly -" Deng Feibao shouted violently, and was about to refute, but immediately stopped, and then waved his hand at his subordinates and said, "Take him down and whip him with a soul test whip to ensure that he can tell the truth." ”

The old man's voice begging for mercy gradually faded away, Deng Feibao was still thinking, and another group of subordinates rushed over: "Divine Envoy Deng, this is what we just found from the market." ”

Deng Feibao didn't know why, and took the clay figure handed by his subordinates, which was actually a unique terracotta figurine shape of Qianji Pavilion, although it was only the size of a palm, it was quite exquisite, and the shape was majestic, obviously a child's favorite thing.

"What's going on?" Deng Feibao asked.

The subordinate replied: "It's a small stall selling clay dolls in the market, and suddenly there are a lot of clever creations of the Thousand Machine Pavilion. We asked the stall owner and he said that it was the clay figurines he made at home and sold to children to play with. ”

"Of course I knew it was a doll!" Deng Feibao said angrily: "What about the stall owner? Why didn't you catch it? ”

The subordinates' faces were embarrassed: "There are a lot of children around his small stall, and there are big families in the city, so it is inconvenient for us to arrest people on the spot, but we have sent people to keep an eye on them, and we have found out the stall owner's house." ”

Deng Feibao was puzzled: "Could it be that he still pinched a lot of clay figurines?" ”

"About ...... More than three hundred. The subordinate replied, "There are big and small clay figures, and there are even iron kites ridden by Deng Shen's envoy." ”

Deng Feibao's face changed, and he was angry and laughing: "Okay! All right! This is someone who laid out and deliberately tricked me! ”

Deng Feibao looked at the terracotta doll in his hand that seemed to be from the hand of a famous craftsman, and smashed it into pieces, and his heart was full of anger.

"You bring a few more people, keep an eye on the stall owner's house, and all the people who interact with him must find out the origin and movement!" Deng Feibao immediately ordered.

After his subordinates left, Deng Feibao once again took out the Pivot Yuan Dan to cast a spell, but this time he had no sense, as if he had sunk into the sea.

A moment later, the subordinates who tortured the storyteller reported: "Envoy Deng, we have made it clear, and the man insists that he dreamed of these things, so he arranged them. ”

"Dreaming? Are you kidding?! Deng Feibao scolded, scolding to the point that he almost laughed out loud, and he found that he was completely tricked.

The soul test whip is a magic weapon given by the sect master, which can whip the soul of the gods, making people spit out the truth and cannot hide it. The storyteller is just an ordinary man, and he can't resist the magic of the soul whip, which can only show that the people behind the layout are profound.

Deng Feibao had heard that some immortal masters were able to teach immortal methods in their dreams, so it was not difficult to pass on the news.

The storyteller must have been secretly spelled, thinking that he had dreamed of the secret of the Thousand Machines Pavilion, so he arranged and sang it in the market.

Thinking about it this way, the stall owner who fabricated the clay figure doll was also secretly taught some tips. Although the ingenuity of the Thousand Machines Pavilion has frequently appeared on the battlefield and is very unknown, it has only been completed in recent years when he drove the iron kite, how can a clay man know about it?

"This is a problem."

Deng Feibao suddenly felt a little uneasy, the person who was secretly planning all this must have known that he was chasing a thousand clever moments, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a confusing search method.

"Divine Envoy Deng, the county commander sent someone to invite you to come over to negotiate." At this time, another subordinate came.

"Again?" Deng Feibao was taken aback, but since it was an invitation from the local county order, he couldn't ignore it, so he had to make arrangements to go to the county office.

Before entering the palace, I smelled a strong fishy smell, and there was a giant frog and the corpse of a big fish in front of the palace. Despite the stench, many people watched from afar, whispering endlessly.

"What's going on?" Deng Feibao came to the front of the government and asked.

The county commander frowned and said, "This morning, as soon as the city patrol sergeant opened the city gate, he saw the corpses of these two monsters. ”

"Who killed it?" Deng Feibao glanced at it a few times and found that the giant frog had a penetrating wound on its abdomen and back, and the big fish with jagged teeth had most of its scales scraped off and the top of its head was sunken, which should have been hit by a heavy object.

The county magistrate shook his head: "I don't know, the official dragged the corpse to the door of the government office, not only to reassure the people, but also to prove that the government has been sweeping away demons and evils, and also to hope that the righteous people who eliminate demons will show up to receive the reward." Let the Lord of the Deng Pavilion come, just to ask for a question or two, I don't know if you know who the master is. ”

Deng Feibao has been in the Rising Sun Divine Sect since he was a child, and he can be regarded as well-informed, and he looked at the dense mottled scars on the giant frog's body, as if he had been slashed by countless sharp blades.

"The bead-sleeved Fanghua Sword of the West River Sword Pavilion? No, the scar is too short and too dense. Deng Feibao observed for a moment, and noticed a trace of bamboo leaf charm in the fishy smell, and was puzzled: "Bamboo leaves? Could it be ...... Is it Taiyi Gate? ”
