Chapter 5

"Grandmaster Li Kun?" Zhang Liexin said as he expected.

Li Kun, the head of the previous generation of Emei, was respected as a generation of grandmasters by the Tianxia Shupai. Since he was a child, this person has shown a talent for magic that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, starting at the age of three, and by the age of seventeen, he has been proficient in the entire spell of Emei. Since then, he has traveled all over the world, looking for teachers and friends, and by the age of 30 he has returned to the door to take over the position of head of the family, and has learned a secret method, and what he has learned is unprecedented. And during this period, countless famous monsters died at his hands, and they were powerful all over the world.

In the next sixty years, under the leadership of Li Kun, the entire Jiazi, the Shenzhou Demon Clan was vigorously suppressed, and the situation was unprecedentedly miserable. However, the cycle of heavenly principles, the rise of the Dao Demon is always the same, with Li Kun began to retreat ten years ago and pondered the Immortal Dao, coupled with the demon clan out of Zhang Lie and several other extremely powerful monsters, the world is in chaos, and gradually the demon clan began to overwhelm people again, and this situation reached its peak after Li Kunxian's death last year.

"Exactly." The young man paused and said, "The ancestor also said that all things are born in nature, whether they are humans or demons, they all have their own reasons for existence, and you can't simply classify monsters as evil. Therefore, twenty years ago, the ancestor took the initiative to go into hiding and let the demon clan have a way to live. It's a pity that no one knows about his hard work, and everyone in the world complains that the current situation is inextricably linked, and he is the old man who really peeks into the truth. That's why I believe you, because I also agree with my master and can't generalize about all youkai. ”

I have to say that in today's serious confrontation between people and monsters, people like him can be said to be aliens, but the most rare thing is that he can break prejudices and will not simply regard monsters as evil.

Zhang Lie couldn't help but say: "But I heard that Li Kun didn't accept apprentices twenty years ago, how did you..."

The pride on the young man's face quickly turned into frustration: "I am a closed disciple of Master, and I have been practicing with him in the 'Lingkong Mountain' since I was two years old, until he is an old man, and I have not left an inch. It's just that I'm a dull talent, and I've only learned a little in the past 20 years, so I'm really ashamed of his teachings. ”

"So this is your first time going down the mountain?" Zhang Lie asked suddenly.

The young man didn't hesitate to have it, and nodded: "Yes, after burying the master at the beginning of the year, I originally planned to keep the spirit for three years. But in view of the chaos in the world and the misery of life, the head of the family ordered me to travel abroad according to the rules of the family. ”

After a deep glance at the young man, Zhang Lie nodded noncommittally: "That's why you're here?" ”

The young man suddenly said: "Speaking of which, this time I came to Zuojin, but it is still related to you." ”

"What?" Zhang Lie's heart froze, and his hands were already secretly sealing, and at the same time he said quietly: "Why does it have anything to do with me?" You're here for me? ”

The young man shook his head and said, "No, I chased Meng and Thorn Wound to this vicinity. Because I lost their traces for a while, and I noticed the abnormal corpse qi here, I found them. I guess you're not a stranger to these two monsters, right? ”

"What!?" Zhang Lie really exclaimed this time: "Those two guys are also nearby?" ”

As the young man said, Zhang Lie is naturally no stranger to these two monsters, in fact, the monsters in the world will not be strange to them. Ten years, in just ten years, these two monsters from nowhere have unified almost one-third of the demon clan in the world, and they have no concession to the major magic sects.

It can be said that the power of the demon clan has expanded so rapidly in the past ten years, except for Li Kun's fading out, most of the reasons are because of them. And the reason why Zhang Lie was seriously injured and wandered into the mountains was because he refused their recruitment, and he was injured by the combined force of Annihilation. This matter has long been rumored to be the demon clan in the world, no wonder Li Kun has what he just said.

With Zhang Lie's character, although he is not afraid of annihilation and thorns, he is not willing to easily get into trouble with them. Because the two demons have great power, it is quite troublesome to fall out with each other, and for Zhang Lie, what he dislikes the most is needless trouble. However, he was even more reluctant to be someone else's subordinate, so he came and went, and finally collapsed, and was chased and killed by Annihilation and Thorn Wound for three days before he was injured and escaped, and later met Xiaoyu.

But he didn't expect feng shui to take turns, and now the two demons are actually being chased, and it is the unattractive kid in front of him, which makes Zhang Lie very surprised.

He couldn't help but say, "You mean, you chased them to get here?" ”

The young man nodded a little proudly: "When I went down the mountain, I heard from the head of the house that the monsters that are in trouble in the world are the leaders, and I swore at that time that I must eradicate the two demons." A few days ago, I accidentally ran into them wandering alone hundreds of miles away, so I started a fight, chased and fled for several days, but let them escape. ”

Speaking of this, the young man's face couldn't help but show a look of annoyance, and Zhang Lie was already dumbfounded.

You must know that there are only a few demons in the world to destroy the thorns and injuries, otherwise it is impossible to lead so many monsters to fight against the major magic sects, and even the famous fox demon clan is afraid of them. What is the ability of this person in front of him to kill them as if he is completely sure of killing them?

Intuitively, Zhang Lie felt that he was not lying, so his strength was only higher than his own. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart: "It seems that I have met a terrible guy this time..."

At this moment, I suddenly heard a baby's ding, but Xiaoyu had already woken up. Rubbing her eyes in a daze, she couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Zhang Lie, why am I here?" ”

"The sun was a little big just now, and you passed out." Zhang Lie said casually.

With a sigh, Xiao Yu quickly got up, dusted off her clothes in a bit of a panic, and was busy sorting out her hair. Suddenly, she saw that the young man was staring at her intently, and she couldn't help but show a fierce look: "What are you looking at?" ”

His face was red, and the young man hurried not to overdo it. After a while, Xiaoyu pulled Zhang Lie and couldn't help asking, "Brother Zhang Lie, do you think it's okay now?" What else hasn't been done? ”

was made to cry and laugh by her, Zhang Lie could only nod again and again: "Okay, okay, it's all right." ”

Xiao Yu was satisfied, and then she turned her attention to the young man. Quietly walking to his side, Xiao Yu suddenly patted the young man on the shoulder, and said at the same time: "Hey, why don't you keep your head?" ”

"I..." The young man instinctively turned around, but found that Xiaoyu's pretty face was close at hand, and subconsciously took a step back. For a while, his face was red and his ears were red, and he couldn't speak.

"What am I? By the way, I haven't asked you what your name is. ”

After Xiaoyu said it, Zhang Lie remembered that he had talked with the other party for a long time, but he didn't know his name. At this time, I only heard the young man say: "In Xia'e Meidingzi disciple, Ye Dingqi." ”

"What an old-fashioned name, it's really like you." Xiaoyu couldn't help but pout.

As if he was afraid of Xiaoyu's temper, Ye Dingqi smiled good-natured and did not speak. Seeing that he didn't react, Xiaoyu was very disappointed, she made a sophisticated look, and waved her hand with a big grin: "Okay, okay, this girl won't worry about you, my name is Xie Xiaoyu, this is Brother Zhang Lie." ”

She is obviously a few years younger than Ye Dingqi, but she prefers to act like an adult, pretending to be strange on her childish face, not to mention how cute she looks. Ye Dingqi couldn't help but be stunned, and then sighed.

"Oh what? Do you think my name is rustic? Xiao Yu suddenly leaned over.

"Ah, no, no, no, the girl misunderstood." Ye Dingqi hurriedly waved his hand: "That's not what I mean." ”

"What does that mean?" Xiaoyu didn't give up.

Ye Dingqi has been practicing in the mountains with his teacher since he was a child, and it is rare to see even a third person on weekdays, let alone an elf and eccentric girl like Xiaoyu. Several robberies of Bai Li made him dumbfounded, and he opened his mouth wide but couldn't say a word.

Zhang Lie smiled secretly in his heart, no matter how powerful he is, he is just a hairy boy who has just debuted. He couldn't help but pull Xiao Yu and smiled: "Okay, okay, you don't tease Brother Ye anymore." ”

"Where, don't dare to be, just tell me to settle the difference." Ye Dingqi said to Zhang Lie seriously.

"Where, don't dare to be, just call me Xiaoyu." Xiaoyu also learned Ye Dingqi to speak.

Unexpectedly, even this would be caught and teased by her, Ye Dingqi's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he looked at Xiaoyu with an innocent face. Apparently he was very depressed, and he really couldn't take this girl.

Zhang Lie gently patted Xiaoyu's head: "Still making trouble?" When you fainted just now, Brother Ye... Hey, Dingqi has decided to help us clean up the plague, and you don't thank people yet. ”

"Ah, really?" Xiaoyu cheered in surprise: "Then I really want to thank you." ”

"No, slaying demons and demons, as you should." Ye Dingqi was not affected by the positive color road.

"But... How's your mana? Don't be a half bucket of water, you still have to take care of you with Brother Zhang Lie, right? Who knew Xiaoyu's next words, and immediately shattered Ye Dingqi's self-confidence that was easily established.

"You... You..."Rao is Ye Dingqi's temper is good, and he is a little anxious.

As if in a hurry to confess, Ye Dingqi said indignantly: "If the girl doesn't believe it, I'll go now..."

Seeing that this kid was in a hurry, he actually wanted to go to the valley, Zhang Lie was angry and funny. He hurriedly grabbed Ye Dingqi: "Don't pay attention to her, this girl is like this." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head, and his voice turned sharp: "Xiaoyu, Dingqi is helping the people of the whole city, how can you do this?" Did you know that you almost broke something big just now? Don't apologize to Dingqi yet! ”

was reproached by Zhang Lie, Xiaoyu couldn't help pouting aggrievedly: "I didn't mean it, who told him to be so unfunny...", but he still obediently said to Ye Dingqi: "Okay, I'm sorry." ”

Ye Dingqi waved his hand embarrassedly: "No, no, no, don't take it to heart, girl, I'm not angry." It was as if he had done something wrong.

Xiaoyu turned her anger into joy, she said happily: "I know that you are very good, don't call girls in the future, I said that my name is Xie Xiaoyu, and you can also call me Xiaoyu!" ”

As she spoke, she turned her head suddenly, looked at the valley below and sighed faintly: "Actually, I really want to thank you, if you can help Brother Zhang Lie clean up this monster, not only the people of Shuangshui County, but also the uncles and aunts of Dingshan Town." I've been running away for so long, and I don't know if my dad is okay..."

Looking at Xiao Yu's beautifully contoured cheeks from the side, Ye Dingqi nodded seriously: "Xiao Yu rest assured, I will definitely eradicate the plague and keep it safe." ”

"Hmm." Xiaoyu turned her head happily and asked Zhang Lie again, "Brother Zhang Lie, are you going to do it now?" Do you want me to go down the mountain right away? ”

"No, it's not the time yet." Zhang Lie shook his head: "These days, let's help the people in the city expel the plague first, I heard that Emei's 'Pure Body Talisman' is extremely miraculous, and I'm afraid it will take a little effort to determine the differences." ”

"Dare to disobey." Ye Dingqi nodded with a straight face.

**

The rumors of two living immortals in Shuangshui County soon spread wide.

Because of the cultivation of the plague, since a few days ago, the terrible plague has also begun to spread in the county. This is like adding fuel to the fire for the people of Shuangshui County. Every day, people die from the epidemic, often one person gets sick, and it is quickly the result of the whole family infection. At first, people would bury the corpses, but soon as the number of deaths increased, no one had the strength or courage to care about the corpses that were everywhere.

Zhang Lie and Ye Dingqi entered Shuangshui County, one used spells, the other drew a 'body purification talisman', and began to treat the plague for the people. The serious epidemic has already made the doctors in the city helpless, and even the pharmacy shopkeeper has just died of illness, and people have no hope of reporting it, so at first, no one is willing to be treated.

Zhang Lie couldn't, so he had to find someone who was seriously ill and lying on the side of the street waiting for death to be the first to be treated. What kind of people are they? Needless to say, Zhang Lie's spell can only cure some minor diseases, but Ye Dingqi's mana is terrifying enough, and the pure body talisman drawn by him is really "Fu to get rid of diseases".

Soon, the cured people rushed to tell each other, and for a time all the sick people in the city gathered at the two of them for treatment, and they were really busy.

At this time, Xiaoyu's actions were also impressive. Not only did she not evade, but she did not shy away from taking care of the sick people who had not yet received treatment when the two of them were treating the people. Some people can't be taken care of because of illness, and their bodies are full of filth, and Xiaoyu, who is usually pampered, also shows amazing endurance, and takes care of everyone equally, and at the end of the day, she is so tired that she almost collapses, and her body is also full of filth.

Ye Dingqi was also surprised by her performance, and then he realized that this girl, who seemed to only be coquettish, also had such a strong side. Gradually, even he didn't realize that every time between treatments, his eyes would drift to Xiaoyu's side, and he would never leave...

Their deeds were praised by the people of the city, who brought them food and water, and more and more people offered to help care for the sick. Several families also brought clean clothes to the trio and warmly invited them to stay at home in the evening. In short, the lifeless Shuangshui County finally got a little angry because of their arrival.

Because of the plague and the ravages of corpses in these days, the people in the city were exhausted, and no one recognized Xiaoyu's identity, saving them a lot of trouble.

However, Xiaoyu can rest at night, but Zhang Lie and Ye Dingqi are still busy driving away the corpses that have invaded the city. These corpses would not have been taken seriously to them, but for several days, they had consumed a lot of mana during the day to treat the plague, and they had to remove the corpses all night at night, without the slightest rest.
