The ancient cypress on Jinyang Road is still flourishing.

There is another open space on the side of the road, which is still blocked by the ancient cypress, but there is an additional stone statue in the clearing, which is vaguely recognizable as a Taoist priest, and the appearance is not visible.

A red horse stopped on the side, nibbling on the grass by the roadside.

Sanhua Niangniang turned into a human form, collected dry firewood, lit a small fire on the ground, and skewered a whole bunch of bamboo shoots and insects with bamboo sticks, all of which were just caught in the bamboo forest on the road, each one was very large, she was roasting it on the flame, her expression was serious, and she kept flipping.

The peculiar aroma of a crustacean insect being roasted slowly wafts out, seducing people's appetites.

The Taoist stood aside, staring at the stone statue.

There's really no similarity at all.

"Dingding......

A bell rang in the distance.

The girl habitually looked up—

There were a few merchants leading horses and mules from a distance, and there were a few people behind them, either carrying burdens or leading donkeys, not knowing where they were going, and they were all discussing with great interest as they went.

Although it was just morning, and it was cool on the boulevard, it was the height of summer after all, and it was inevitable that it would be hot when they got on the road.

The voice slowly came into the ears of Sanhua Niangniang.

"Can this still be fake? My cousin saw it with his own eyes! Yesterday evening, the sun had just set, and the sky was still visible, so I wouldn't be mistaken! ”

"That's too mysterious......"

"Not really! The sword flew over, and it flew back and forth at the same time, and it whined, and the tree next to the house was only hit once, and it was immediately cut off, and I passed by in the morning and went to look at it, and the cut out was as bright as a porcelain plate! said that the sword light flashed his eyes at that time, and the monster couldn't run, and he didn't even react when he touched it, and his head fell off! It must be a fairy shot! ”

"And do you see the monster?"

"See! Of course I did! There were a lot of people in the cow village who gathered around to watch, and I leaned over to take a look! The middle-aged man carrying the empty burden suddenly bared his teeth and grinned, "That's called a scary!" The monster's waist is afraid that it is as thick as two people, the claws are the same as hooks, only the body is left, the neck is neatly shaved, and the head was sent to the county office early in the morning, I didn't see it, but I heard that the head is scared to death, and few people dare to touch it when they die! ”

"It's a pity that I didn't go to see ...... when I passed by Niu Village"

"If you want to see the excitement, you can go back now, it's not far anyway. By this afternoon, it is estimated that it will be burned. ”

"That's it, I've been timid since I was a child, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep. Knowing that this monster has been removed, when passing by Niu Village in the future, I will feel a little less apprehensive. ”

"It's just that I don't know which immortal made the shot."

"It's really a fairy trick......"

“……”

Everyone talked excitedly, getting closer and closer, and going farther and farther, their expressions were full of novelty, and they yearned for the immortals, and for the immortal means of cutting off the head of the demon with a sword from the sky.

Sanhua Niangniang also listened attentively, and even forgot to flip the bamboo shoots and insect strings in her hands.

It wasn't until the group of people walked farther and farther away and couldn't hear it that she suddenly reacted, and hurriedly turned over the bamboo skewers in her hand, and at the same time looked down and saw that one side had been burned slightly black, but it emitted a richer aroma, which made her sniff.

Immediately, while roasting, he asked the Taoist:

"Why hasn't the swallow come back yet?"

"It's coming."

"So long."

"yes."

"Doesn't he fly?"

"There must have been a delay."

"What a delay......

Before he could finish his sentence, the wind suddenly sounded overhead.

"Woo woo woo ......"

It was like the sound of a sword slashing through the air quickly, but it was continuous, coming from overhead.

Sanhua Niangniang suddenly looked up again.

I saw a silver light spinning and falling from the sky, although it flew from the gap between the branches and leaves of the ancient cypress, but the ancient cypress was dense, and it still could not avoid touching the branches and leaves, but wherever the silver light was touched, no matter the branches or branches were all neatly cut off and fell.

"Brush ......"

The silver light stopped spinning in mid-air and aimed at the horse.

At the same time, a scabbard protrudes out of the horse's back, and the silver light is impartial, and it automatically returns to the sheath when it is brushed.

It is a dagger studded with precious stones.

"Plop Plop ......"

Then a swallow flew and landed on the branch.

"I'm back." Yanzi looked down at them and said, "The monster in Niucun has been hiding in the nearby mountains, and when it gets dark, it wanders at the entrance of the village, but it is easy to find, but the mountain monster who asked people to carry it across the river by the bridge was injured but hid in the mountain forest, and I searched for a night and delayed time." ”

"Good work."

The Taoist said to him.

Sanhua Niangniang turned her head and stared at him without blinking, thinking that the flying swallow and this flying knife looked very powerful.

Those passers-by felt the same way.

This time, the movements of the hands did not stop.

"Shhhh......h

Sanhua Niangniang took the skewers in front of her, took a breath, and the smell told her that the bamboo shoots and worms had been roasted.

This thing doesn't need any seasoning, it's very fragrant, and it will become more and more fragrant when chewed, but Sanhua Niangniang still took out the salt from the quilt bag, pinched it and carefully sprinkled it on it, and saw the half-burnt bamboo shoots and insects evenly stained with salt flowers, and I thought it was delicious.

"Daoist! You eat! Delicious! ”

The first bite is still handed to the Taoist.

"Thank you, Sanhua Niang."

The Taoist did not refuse this time, but stretched out his hand, twisted the top one, took it off the bamboo stick, and put it into his mouth.

This stuff is really fragrant.

The girl was stunned and looked at him without blinking.

She still had a small face, her face was white, she couldn't see her expression from it, she only felt serious, but her eyes gradually widened to express the surprise and joy in her heart at this time.

"You eat! Eat again! ”

Sanhua Niangniang didn't understand the truth of drying up and fishing, and began to feed the Taoist people frantically.

The swallow said on the tree: "Last night, I got rid of the demons, and I searched for the demons in the mountains, and found that there are many goblins and ghosts hidden in this mountain forest, and many of them have evil spirits on their bodies, which is obviously not the right way." ”

"Hmmm......"

Song You ate breakfast, nodded, and said in a calm tone: "Let's go slower on this section of the road." This side is also close to my Yin Yang Mountain Fulong Temple, but in recent years, the demons have been so rampant, and it is also a dereliction of duty for our Taoist temple to spread out, so please clean it up for me. ”

"Understood."

The swallow replied from the tree.

"You eat again!"

Sanhua Niangniang also said on the ground.

……

In the next few days, the Taoist really walked slowly.

Even if it is getting closer and closer to Lingquan County's Yin Yang Mountain, the Taoist is not in a hurry at all.

It's just that there are many times on Jinyang Road where only the Taoist and a jujube red horse are left, either walking slowly along the road, or stopping to rest, or lying in the shade of the trees to sleep comfortably, while the three-flowered cat and the swallow are searching for evil demons and evil spirits in the mountains and forests beside the road—they are all monsters and spirits that have only been born or awakened by the changes of heaven and earth in recent years, and there is no threat to them at all.

There are no big demons around Fulongguan.

Villages along the way gradually developed legends.

Some people walk on the mountain in the early morning and see the mountains and rocks gathered into people, as if the legendary mountain god appeared and killed the evil mountain demons. Some people were hurrying away at dusk, and they heard a sudden rise of birds in the mountains, followed by the sound of ghosts roaring, which made people chill.

Someone stayed at home in the middle of the night, heard movement outside, opened the window in curiosity, and saw a short sword spinning and falling from the sky, reflecting the moonlight and cutting off the head of the monster.

It's not just people who have seen and heard about it.

Some demons and ghosts stay in the mountains, and they have always kept to themselves, and I heard that there are constantly evil demons and demons that have been eliminated, and even some demons and demons who eat a lot of people and are strong in Taoism have also been cleanly eliminated, or some demons and ghosts are simply on the scene, and they see it with their own eyes, and they can't help but feel panic in their hearts for a while, for fear that it will be their turn.

The local gods also witnessed it several times and were amazed.

Only a handful of goblins, goblins and earth gods who have lived long enough can guess—

Maybe it's the descendants of Fulongguan who have returned.

A few days later, the roadside temple.

The moonlight outside the temple is like silver, outlining the outline of the mountains and forests, and even the Jinyang Road between the mountains is clearly visible, but the gods in the temple have shown their figures, and salute respectfully to the Taoists.

"I've seen the honorable driver."

"A good man doesn't have to be polite."

"In the past few days, many demons and evil things beside Jinyang Road have been eliminated one after another, and the little god has guessed that maybe he has returned. Seeing that there is a god cat who excludes demons, he is even more certain. Wang Shangong almost didn't dare to look up at Song You, he couldn't see his cultivation as a Taoist back then, so he had to guess, and now he still can't see it, but he has a feeling inexplicably, this one now, compared to thirteen years ago, the Taoist cultivation has not improved much, I'm afraid it is already beyond his imagination, "It's really a blessing to finally see the respected driver here." ”

"Passing by here again this time, it also means to visit the good man again." Song You said, "By the way, please ask the good father, on the way back and walked, were there any evil demons that were missed?" ”

"Returning to the honorable driver, the demons and evil things that the little gods know and have harmed people have basically been removed."

"Shangong is the god of the earth, and he knows the local area best, and what are the demons and evil things that have harmed people ahead, please also know about Shangong." The Taoist shook his head and said, "After many years of leaving, the world has changed, but I didn't expect that the humble county has also become a miasma. ”

"The little god first thanked the people for ......"

Wang Shangong still didn't dare to look at him, and bowed his head to salute, but this angle inevitably met the cat on the ground.

But the cat sat upright, with its head held high, staring at itself without blinking.

Wang Shangong still remembered the timid three-flowered cat back then, and he scared her a lot with a few words, but he didn't expect to meet again, but she already had such skills.

For a while, I only felt like two cats.

One god and one cat, they all feel wonderful.
