Deep in the alpine forest, the tree-lined mountain trails are paved with thick pine needles, the afternoon sun is steaming with the spicy smell of pine resin, and the occasional crisp sound of birds.

The simple ox cart clattered on the official road, and the mottled forest shadows sprinkled through the gaps in the leaves, falling on the ox cart one by one, light and dark.

The ox cart was driven by an old man and a young man, wearing a hat to shade the sun, a white-haired old man in his seventies, and a girl in a cloth coat with rough skin.

The woods in early autumn are not quiet, and the autumn wind blows by, and it feels cold.

The girl glanced back at the groceries pulled behind the ox cart, lowered her voice and asked the old man on the side, "Grandpa, is that guy really okay?" ”

"In the dense forests in the mountains, it is too weird for an ordinary Taoist priest to appear."

The peaceful-looking old man smiled, not caring at all: "People gave him silver, so why not give him a ride?" ”

"It's not a matter of silver......

The girl glanced back with some anxiety, and with her current height, she could barely see a person lying behind the piles of debris, the man was holding a book in one hand, and he was still reading it before, but now he directly covered his face with the book, breathing long, and seemed to have fallen asleep.

"I heard that there are often monsters in this mountain, and when I see a man, I will transform into a beautiful woman to seduce, and when I see a weak woman, I will turn into a lost scholar, grandpa, do you think that Taoist priest will ......?"

"What are you thinking? Your grandfather and I have been walking on this official road for decades, and I have never encountered strange things, how can there be so many monsters in this world, and how could we meet them so coincidentally? The old man shook his head.

The girl wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the old man.

"Ling'er, don't say more! Don't you want to practice boxing? That Dao Chang gave a full ten taels of silver, which is enough for you to enter the martial arts hall for a while, not to mention, and even enough for you to buy a boxing book! ”

"Grandpa, you ......" Zhao Ling looked up in surprise, incredulous.

The old man sighed: "Alas, your grandfather I figured it out, it's not a thing to stop you all the time, everyone has their own ambitions, if you want to practice boxing, practice boxing, your grandfather and I won't be alive for a few days, maybe one day people will be gone directly, I don't worry about leaving you a Zhao Lingzi family, practicing boxing can at least ensure that you can be beaten back if you are bullied." ”

"Grandpa......"

Suddenly hearing this, Zhao Ling's eyes were slightly red, and he grabbed the old man's sleeve tightly.

No wonder grandpa is willing to take the risk of taking this strange young man, in the case of grandpa working as a handyman for Zhao Mansion to run errands, I don't know when I want to earn these ten taels of silver, I don't know when it will be.

And these ten taels of silver were used to teach her boxing.

Behind the ox cart, the young Taoist priest who was sleeping with a book on his face moved slightly, and took in the words of the two of them.

The young Taoist priest wears a simple long sword on his waist, and he is handsome and dusty, and it is Huai Zhi'an who has gone all the way south.

All the way to the south, plus there is plenty of time, Huai Zhi'an is not in a hurry, the scenery of Gusu is unique, and the sword pavilion is here, which is a rare place in the world with a strong kendo atmosphere.

Therefore, since arriving in Gusuzhou, Huai Zhi'an has been leisurely and leisurely all the way, walking towards the Sword Pavilion.

For example, if the sword path is declining today, the Qinglian Sword Immortal before was short-lived, and it was fleeting and disappeared, so now the strongest person in the world of sword dao fell on the head of the master of the Sword Pavilion.

Now that the ninth floor of the Sword Pavilion is open, any sword cultivator can climb the Sword Pavilion to challenge, which is not only a great opportunity to become famous in the world, but also has the opportunity to bathe in the Sword Pavilion Heavenly Pool.

This kind of opportunity naturally attracted countless sword cultivators to gather.

Huai Zhi'an was originally alone, but he happened to meet the old man and this Zhao Ling, and the old man politely asked if he wanted to help take a ride, and Huai Zhi'an readily agreed.

Of course, Huai Zhi'an is not a prostitute for nothing, and the old man took advantage of the reward of ten taels of silver.

Huai Zhi'an quietly glanced at the backs of an old man and a young man, the old man was lifeless, and the deadline was probably this month.

And this Zhao Ling ...... To be honest, Huai Zhi'an knew from the first glance that this Zhao Ling was mediocre.

The acupuncture points of the whole body are occluded, and it is difficult for the aura to enter the body, so it is not the material for martial arts practice.

Perhaps the only commendable thing is the perseverance of the other party, listening to the words of the old man, the old man seems to have been opposed to Zhao Ling's boxing practice before.

But judging from the scab on Zhao Ling's fist, Huai Zhi'an seemed to have been practicing secretly.

It's a pity that the talent is really not good, and now Zhao Ling is barely an ordinary martial artist, and his aura has not entered the body, and he is not even in the foundation realm.

However, Huai Zhi'an doesn't care, after all, the three of them meet in Pingshui, and they may not see each other again in this life, and they don't need to worry about Huai Zhi'an's fate.

"By the way, Uncle Zhao, do you know where Canglan Mountain is?"

Huai Zhi'an remembered something, and suddenly asked.

"Canglan Mountain?" Uncle Zhao pondered for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile. "I'm sorry, Xiaodao Chief, old man, I have been short-sighted, and I really haven't heard of Canglan Mountain."

"It's okay, I'm just asking."

Huai Zhi'an smiled and didn't care.

According to the information given by the shepherd, an evil cultivator at the peak of the Longmen Realm seems to have his eyes on Shangguan Jinghong, and the two had a big battle.

But when the evil cultivator was defeated and fled, and Shangguan Jinghong went to chase after him, the two of them disappeared near Canglan Mountain together.

With Tu Yu here, Huai Zhi'an was not worried about Shangguan Jinghong's safety, and now the sword qi left in Tu Yu's body was safe and sound, proving that Tu Yu did not have any accidents, and there was a high probability that he was trapped somewhere, so Huai Zhi'an planned to go to Na Canglan Mountain to have a look.

It's just that to Huai Zhi'an's surprise, this Canglan Mountain seems to be very remote, and a few people have never heard of it.

"Canglan Mountain?"

Zhao Ling muttered to herself, frowning, she seemed to have heard this name somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

But just as the ox cart was walking slowly, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves like thunder behind him.

The three of them looked back and saw several horses galloping, their hooves fluttering like drums, and the sound of horses' hooves fluttering, like puffs of yellow smoke.

"How far is it?"

"It's just ahead!"

"Damn, we must take down that demon beast this time!"

……

A group of people rode horses, and the momentum swept past the three of Huai Zhi'an.

"Demon beast!?"

Zhao Ling was startled and turned his head to look at his grandfather.

"It's a member of the Tempest Gang...... the old man recognized at a glance what the men were wearing.

The Zhao Mansion where he belonged had some dealings with the people of the Tempest Gang, and the Tempest Gang was the largest gang in Xuyang City, and it was fierce.

"Grandpa, shall we take a detour?" Zhao Ling said worriedly.

But Uncle Zhao categorically refused: "No, this batch of goods is very urgent, this road is already the closest, once the detour, if the time can't catch up, the master will definitely punish you and me." ”

"Don't worry, the relationship between the Zhao Mansion and the Tempest Gang is good, we are just passing by, they have nothing to do with us to surround and kill demon beasts, how should we go."

Having said that, Uncle Zhao's tone was obviously a little unconfident.

Demon beasts are simply legends that only exist for mortals like them, how can they have the opportunity to see them with their own eyes?

It's just a passerby, but if something happens......

"That little road chief, you also heard it, the Wind Gang is besieging and killing monsters in front, if you are worried, you can wait in place or return the same way, I will return this silver old man to you."

"Grandpa!"

Zhao Ling was taken aback.

"It's okay uncle, you just have to go, don't care about me." Huai Zhi'an said casually.

"This ...... All right. ”

When the old man heard Huai Zhi'an say this, he didn't persuade him anymore.

Huai Zhi'an's thoughts drifted away, and the place where the Tempest Gang surrounded and killed the demon beasts was closer than he thought.

It's just that the demon beast's aura is too weak, and Huai Zhi'an can't tell what kind of demon beast it is for a while.

It's just that before the ox cart approached, I saw a short and fat man with a short head walking out of the dense forest, the man was wearing a gray robe, and looked at the three people on the ox cart with his hands in fists.

"Three, it's not convenient to enter this place at this time, please retreat."

"Don't worry, we will never approach that dense forest, just passing by." The old man hurriedly clenched his fists and saluted back. "I am a subordinate of the Zhao Mansion who specializes in transporting sundries, and now the old man of the Zhao family is in a hurry to get this batch of things, I am afraid of delaying the time, so I can only take this road."

"Zhao Mansion?"

The inch-headed man was stunned, they did have some dealings with the Zhao Mansion.

Looking at the old man and Zhao Ling on the ox cart, both of them were powerless, and their bodies relaxed.

"In order to prevent the demon beasts from escaping, this neighborhood has been surrounded by our Tempest Gang, you may not be able to go over, so let's wait for a while, after the end I will notify the gang leader to inform the situation, and then the master of the Zhao family will definitely sell our Tempest Gang a face......"

But before the man could finish speaking, he only heard the roar in the dense forest getting closer and closer.

The black shadow of the demon beast appeared, and everyone in the dense forest struggled to resist, Zhao Ling's eyes widened, and he pointed to the dense forest and said in surprise: "What a big monkey!" ”

I saw a giant red ape the size of a small mountain waving its fists, its eyes were red, and its expression was furious.

At this time, the battle between the giant ape and the surrounding Tempest Gang monks was anxious, and I saw the giant ape roar and let out a piercing roar.

In an instant, a gust of wind erupted from the giant ape's mouth and swept around!

When the inch-headed man saw this scene, he found it a little tricky, so he drew his weapon, turned to the three ox carts, and said, "Find a place to hide yourself." ”

After saying that, the inch-headed man drew his knife and slashed at the red giant ape!

At this time, the battle became more and more intense, and more than a dozen figures surrounded and killed a giant ape, and the smoke and dust were billowing around, and killing machines were everywhere!

This was the first time Zhao Bo had seen a demon beast, his face was pale with fright, and the old cow under him also looked restless, his four legs trembled, and he could barely stand on his feet.

"Get back!"

Zhao Bo came back to his senses after a while, and hurriedly drove the ox cart to slowly retreat, away from the battlefield.

"What a big monkey ......"

It was also the first time he had seen a demon beast, but Zhao Ling was not afraid at all, but curiously watched the giant ape stay in place and fight with the people of the Wind Gang.

"Is this a monster?"

"Well, the Red Fire Ape, feeding on the earth fire is a difficult opponent for ordinary monks."

Zhao Ling turned around in surprise and found that the person who spoke turned out to be the young Taoist priest behind him.

"You know?"

"I've read about it in books."

Huai Zhi'an raised the book in his hand.

Zhao Ling turned his gaze to the battlefield and watched the Red Fire Ape fight the Tempest Gang, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

It would be good when she could be so strong, with such strong strength, she would be able to make a lot of money, so that grandpa would not have to work for her at such a large age, and she would still be a person in Zhao Mansion.

"Strange, why doesn't the giant ape run?" Zhao Ling asked.

According to Zhao Ling, as long as the giant ape goes up the tree and moves through the dense forest, there is no need to fight the people of the Wind Gang at all.

But this time there was no one behind him to answer, Zhao Ling turned around and found that the young Taoist priest had disappeared, leaving only the book on the ox cart.

Before Zhao Ling could look for the figure of the young Taoist priest, a wisp of black light suddenly swept past the ox cart and hit the abdomen of the giant ape at an extremely fast speed.

The giant ape was in pain, wailed, and directly spurted out a mouthful of blood, looking sluggish, and stumbling and wheezing!

The inch-headed man was furious, and looked back at the two people on the ox cart, but when he saw that the two men were also stunned, he realized that there was someone else.

"Hehe, I said what are you Tempest Gang secretly going to do, it turns out to be the Red Fire Ape."

The laughter reached everyone's ears along the wind, and several black shadows rode out of the dense forest.

The big man in the dense forest was wearing a mink coat, his face was full of flesh, and he was vicious, and it was obvious that he was not good.

"Hu Senxiao!?"

When the Tempest Gang saw the big man in the mink coat, their faces changed.

Zhao Bo was also shocked, and pulled Zhao Ling to the side and quietly retreated.

This Hu Senxiao is the second-in-command of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang is the sworn enemy of the Tempest Gang.

The third-in-command of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang beside Hu Senxiao looked at the people of the Tempest Gang with a sneer on his face and disdain in his eyes.

"Zhu Wan, get out of here with your people, I'm in a good mood today, and I'll leave you a dog." The third master looked at the inch-headed man who was talking to Zhao Ling before.

"As for this red fire ape, it will be taken over by our Ten Thousand Beasts Gang."

"Jiang Jie!" Zhu Wan gritted his teeth and asked.

They have already sent people to besiege the surroundings, and since the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang has arrived, those brothers on the periphery ......

"Don't talk nonsense, it's already our mercy to leave you a dog's life, and we will slaughter you all, and this red fire ape is still ours!" Jiang Jie said impatiently.

If it weren't for the recent unprecedented increase in the supervision of various places by the Candle Dragon Division, they would definitely not let go of this opportunity to eliminate the Tempest Gang in one fell swoop.

"First come, first come, rules of the rivers and lakes!" Zhu Wan said in a deep voice.

"Rules?"

Hu Senxiao sneered, and suddenly burst out, and his violent fist intent was like a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests.

"The rules of Lao Tzu's Ten Thousand Beasts Gang are called rules!"

"Kill them, not one of them will be left!"

"Hey, second brother! Candle Ryuji's ......"

Jiang Jie was startled and hurriedly reminded.

"Don't worry, kill everyone present, even the Candle Dragon Division has no evidence to prove that we did it!" Hu Senxiao said coldly.

"Hu Senxiao, you bastard!"

Zhu Wan was also furious, he didn't expect Hu Senxiao to be so ruthless.

The Red Fire Ape was injured and shrunk aside, but the Tempest Gang and the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang fought together first.

Zhao Bo trembled, Zhao Ling clenched her fists, although she was afraid, she wanted to protect her grandfather's safety even more.

However, just as the two gangs were fighting fiercely, the seriously injured Red Fire Ape had a sudden change in his face and looked into the depths of the dense forest with a roar.

There was a young figure slowly walking out......

Sensing that outsiders were present, the Tempest Gang and the Ten Thousand Beasts Gang suddenly stopped, they didn't want to make wedding dresses for others.

"Daoist?"

When the two sides saw the faces of the figures, they couldn't help but be stunned, and when they saw what they were holding in each other's arms, their surprise turned into greed in an instant.

"Red Fire Ape cubs?"

Zhao Ling suddenly realized, and she understood why the Red Fire Ape chose to fight to the death with the Tempest Gang.
