There are 18,000 Zhongzhou mountain ranges, most of which run east-west, while Hengshan runs north-south. This mountain range starts from Jinxiang River in the south, ends in Weishui River in the north, stretches for thousands of miles, spans hundreds of miles from east to west, the mountain is majestic, mostly precipices, such as a huge wall across the Qin and Jin Dynasties.

After Feng Ling separated from the others, he headed north along the west side of the mountain. This trip followed the instructions of the master, entered the Qin realm from the food letter, and then went to Hanyang to meet the senior brother.

The road overcomes obstacles, and the practice is continuous day and night. In the evening of this day, after crossing a steep hill, I came across a stream. Feng Ling rested for a while, fetched water and drank the horses and then chased the stream. After a short time, they came to a mountain stream, and the stream flowed out from between the two mountains, and the mountains on both sides were high and difficult for horses to cross, and there was no road ahead. Feng Ling was about to return to find another way, when he suddenly saw clothes floating in the water, and straw scattered in the water.

From this, it can be seen that there must be people living in the upper reaches. Feng Ling saw that the water was not deep, so he led the horse into the water and walked into the mountain stream, and walked two or three miles before he could get out. I saw that the front was surrounded by mountains and the terrain was open. The stream flows slowly, and the peaches and apricots on both sides of the bank are patches. Moving forward again, I saw the fields vertically and horizontally, the traffic was strange, the jujube trees were shady, the buildings were lined up, and it was a good manor outside the world. It's just that the millet in the field is yellow, the weeds are overgrown, the cooking smoke in the village is scarce, and the chickens and dogs do not sing.

Lead the horse ashore along the field path to the manor, and when they get close to the people's houses, they don't see people leaving, and the houses are closed. Feng Ling didn't know the principle, and knocked on the door one by one along the way to ask for directions. After a few households, I saw that more than half a hundred old people a year trembled, and half-opened the door to respond.

"My husband is good, I am passing through here, I don't see a way out, I want to rest in the manor for the night, and I will leave after finding the path tomorrow morning, I don't know if it is convenient."

"Little brother, you better hurry up, it's not safe here." Close the door immediately.

Feng Ling saw that the master's family refused to stay overnight, and he didn't care, so he led the horse away and walked to the jujube tree next to the house, tied the horse and sat on the ground, took out some dry food to satisfy his stomach, and prepared to spend the night here.

About two minutes later, the old man opened the door and saw that Feng Ling had not left, and after hesitation, he came over and said to Feng Ling: "The young man doesn't know what to do, he advises you to leave but you don't listen, and when the monster finds it, you will have a disaster for your life." ”

Since his travels, he had not encountered such a strange thing, and when Feng Ling heard this, he got up and asked, "What kind of monster is it?" Please come with me. ”

"The old man has never seen his face clearly, only to see that this monster is more than two feet long, covered with yellow hair, can spew out a fishy and poisonous mist to fascinate people and animals, and is infinitely powerful, often come to catch people at night and eat its essence and blood, harming countless people."

Seeing the desolate scene here, and knowing that it must be caused by the spirit that the old man said, Feng Ling continued to ask, "There are such spirits. How many people still live in the village today? ”

"There were originally hundreds of people in the village, and in the past few months, they have died and fled, and there are only a dozen old guys like me who are old and frail and unable to escape, so they stay in the manor and wait for death, young man, you should flee quickly."

"Don't panic, old man, does that monster come every night?"

"Sometimes three, sometimes five, but not every night"

"When did you come here?"

"I was here last night."

"Even so, I guess I won't come back tonight."

"Probably."

Feng Ling saw that the old man was still flustered, so he took off his sword, pulled it out and swung it at the jujube tree, only to see a flash of cold light, and the branch with the big mouth of the bowl suddenly broke off. After putting the sword into the sheath, he said to the old man, "Uncle, what do you think of this sword?" ”

The old man was stunned and shocked to see that the sword did not touch the branches, but it had broken down. After a long time, he knelt down and said: "The true immortals, the people are clumsy, and the immortals forgive their sins." ”

Feng Ling hurriedly helped him up and said, "I'm not an immortal, I just practice a little sword qi." ”

The old man has to worship again, obviously not believing that people can have this skill.

Feng Ling had no choice but to hold on, and after he no longer bowed, he said: "Boss, you lead me to gather everyone, I have something to say." ”

Listening to Feng Ling's instructions, the old man hurriedly led the way. knocked on the doors of seven houses one after the other, saying that there were gods to save them, and everyone opened the door and came out.

After a short time, the old man summoned 12 old men and 8 women who were over 60 years old, and a total of 13 people came to the open space by the well in the village one after another.

Feng Ling hurriedly asked everyone to sit down. Then he said to the elders: "Don't be afraid, old people, I have to learn the legendary Gate Dunjia thaumaturgy, and there is a secret technique of demon subduing formations. ”

The vacant land here is quadrangular and has more than two acres. Feng Ling built a grass house by the well, let everyone sit down around the well, and then took four square stones and placed them according to the direction of the four elephants, and then took out four jade talismans from the bag and put them on the stone, and then sealed them with both hands, and painted them in the air. I saw the giant trees rolling in the east, the fire in the south, the swords in the west, and the waves in the north. As Feng Ling continued to print, wood, fire, water, and swords changed and rotated, and the mystery was abnormal. After more than a moment, Feng Ling stopped printing and painting, and in an instant, the square stone and jade talisman disappeared, and the formation was formed.

Seeing this miracle, everyone rushed to preach: "Immortals! O immortals! ”

After Feng Ling finished the operation, he waved his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his head, sat cross-legged outside the house and breathed back his breath, waiting quietly.

The wait was always very long, but the people in the Zhuangzi were so bitter that they did not dare to fall asleep or speak by the well.

When the time came to midnight, the night sky with a clear moon and stars rose for no reason. The breeze was blowing, Feng Ling suddenly drew his sword out of the sheath and faced the south, only to see a white shadow under the moonlight speeding like lightning, rushing to the south and leaving the fire array. As soon as he rushed into the formation, a fire suddenly lit up in the void, and the red fire surrounded the white shadow and burned.

Besieged by the red fire, I saw that the white shadow was surrounded by brilliance, forming a ball to protect its body. I saw the white shadow wave casually, the strong wind hit, and the red fire was immediately extinguished.

The fire formation was broken in an instant, Feng Ling was shocked, and hurriedly drew his sword with his right hand, and the seal in his left hand rotated the formation, and the fire formation transformed into a giant wood array, and in an instant, the giant wood rolled and pressed towards the white shadow.

The white shadow stood still in the air, and the brocade belt around his waist flew up, hitting the giant tree like a god, and suddenly the wood broke and flew, turning into clear qi and disappearing.

The giant wood array was broken, Feng Ling's handprints flew again, the Xuanshui array rose again, and the layers of huge waves rushed towards the white shadow.

The white shadow remained motionless, and pointed into a sword to the sky and the earth, and the great wave was divided into two sides, and could not come closer.

In front of the hanging sword, Feng Ling's handprint changed, the Gengjin sword array continued, and the sword turned into twelve swords, and the sword light was dazzling, flying up and down. When the waves were over, he gestured and waved at the white shadow, and twelve sword lights immediately flew towards the white shadow.

The sword light pierced in front of the white shadow, and was blocked by the brilliance of the white shadow's talisman, like nailing into the pure gold, and the piercing could not be pierced.

Feng Ling's hand still hangs on his fingers, refusing to stop.

But seeing that the brilliance on Bai Ying's body contracted, and suddenly soared, the eleven lightsabers immediately annihilated the brilliance, and the remaining sword flew out and fell to the ground.

The Gengjin sword array was useless, and in less than a moment, all four formations were broken, and Feng Ling knelt on one knee at the moment, his face was like white paper, and his mouth was spurting blood, and he was no longer able to fight, and he had nothing to do, so he had to stand up silently. Feng Ling felt remorse in his heart at this moment, secretly blaming himself for his inflated confidence, his skills were great, and the people who harmed Zhuangzi lost their lives in vain, which was really unforgivable.

The white shadow also landed slowly, without making any movements. The two sides looked at each other in the air, and the atmosphere was unusually condensed. After a moment of stalemate, the white shadow dissipated its brilliance, and only a graceful figure stood in front of everyone.

Under the moonlight, the brocade ribbon flutters like a light cloud covering the moon, and the white skirt walks on the ground like the snow of the wind. The cheeks are like flawless white, and the green silk is like faint ink jade. The lips are cherry, the eyebrows are like a crescent moon, the shoulders are shaved, the waist is like a prime, a glimpse of the sky, like a goddess outside the world. Feng Ling saw that the person who came was not like the spirit described by the old man, his heart was settled, and he just wanted to speak, when suddenly his blood and qi surged, and the essence in his body scurried, and he fainted to the ground.

The next day, Feng Ling slowly woke up and saw himself lying on the bamboo mat in the wooden house, and half a hundred old men sitting in front of the bed.

When I wanted to get up and go to the ground, I suddenly felt a tingling pain in my internal organs and numbness in my limbs. Seeing this, the old man hurriedly helped him lie down, and after taking the water, he said: "Don't move, young man, you have worked too hard and hurt your lungs, that fairy has asked me to give you medicine, and said that you can only walk on the ground in two days." ”

"Which fairy?"

"It's the fairy who fought with you last night."

"Who is she and where is she now?"

"The fairy just told me to serve you with medicine, and didn't say anything else, and then disappeared."

"Did the spirits come last night?"

"Never been."

Feng Ling lay down for a long time, asked the old man to help him sit cross-legged on the bed, and when he saw the bag and sword placed on the pillow, he opened the bag and took out a bottle of pills, and poured out a pill for oral administration. Then slowly mobilize the essence of the body to prescribe the drug, and it took a long time to stop the operation.

Seeing that Feng Ling was suspended, the old man hurriedly delivered the millet porridge that had already been boiled. Feng Ling was not polite, and took it and slowly ate it all.

By about noon, he had regained some strength and got up and went down to the ground. The old man wanted to dissuade him, but Feng Ling waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm fine." Then he opened the door and walked out of the house.

When they came to the open space by the well, most of the old people were in the grass house, and the others were fetching water for cooking.

Seeing Feng Ling coming, they shouted one after another: "Good benefactor!" Hello Shaoxia! "Presumably, he saw that Feng Ling was injured like an ordinary person, so he no longer thought that he was an immortal.

Feng Ling nodded in acknowledgement, and then looked around the place, feeling a sigh in his heart. Last night's battle failed, and now he is injured and has no combat power, and the four formations are all destroyed, if the spirit comes, how can he resist.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the old man in the house get up and shouted, "Fairy! Fairy! ”

Feng Ling immediately turned around and saw that the woman from last night had stood in the position of last night's battle at some point, looking at him silently. Although it was goodbye, Feng Ling was still amazing. After being silent for a long time, Feng Ling spoke: "It's rude, I offended the girl Huwei last night, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

When the woman heard this, she still stood still, not moving or talking.

Feng Ling continued: "The situation was urgent last night, and I mistook the girl for the spirit, so I made a big move. Fortunately, the girl's means are mysterious, and a little use of means will resolve the subtle skills below. I am really relieved that I have not damaged your body, but if I am injured, I will not be able to redeem my death. ”

"Am I like a spirit?"

"It's not like it."

The woman was silent again.

Feng Ling knew that he didn't want to say more, and he didn't say anything anymore.

After a while, the woman suddenly said to Feng Ling: "I, Zhong Liji." With that, he turned and left.
