Because they deliberately bypassed the Seven Stars View, the master and apprentice crossed the mountains and mountains, and inevitably took many unjust roads.

Along the way, there are many abandoned Taoist temples in the mountains and deep valleys.

They were in dilapidation, some had collapsed into broken walls, overgrown with shrubs and dead grass, and there was a dead silence.

Seeing this, Zhong Lifei stopped, feeling a sense of melancholy about the vicissitudes of life and the changes in the world.

Chu Fan said on the side: "Let's go, find a place to have a meal, I'm hungry." ”

Zhong Lifei was silent, his eyebrows tightly locked.

Chu Fan was surprised: "Master, why don't you leave?" ”

Zhong Lifei smiled slightly, smelling a violent aura hidden in the air around him.

He knew that his apprentice could not feel this inhuman aura, and he was very familiar with it.

However, Zhong Lifei was a little puzzled in his heart.

It stands to reason that the creatures that can exude this kind of aura should be extinct in the world.

After the shocking change thousands of years ago, human beings had no rivals in the world and completely dominated the land under their feet.

Echoing with it is the Xiye clan who manipulate the historical development trajectory of the immortal cultivation world behind the scenes.

Other than that, there were no other races in the world that had cultivation qualifications.

In other words, the once intriguing youkai no longer exists, and only ethereal legends remain.

At this time, a fishy wind blew, and Zhong Lifei immediately detected the source of this violent aura.

"Let's go over there and have a look."

Zhong Lifei pointed ahead and walked to the left.

"Master, there's no way ahead!" Chu Fan shouted.

As if he hadn't heard, Zhong Lifei stepped on the waist-deep weeds and walked straight forward.

Regarding the master's stubbornness, Chu Fan smiled bitterly and was speechless, so he had to bury his head in the back and never leave for a moment.

The destination is a low-lying valley surrounded by high mountains, and the location is well hidden, and it is not easy for ordinary people to find it.

As soon as he entered the valley, Chu Fan had a bad premonition.

Although there are wild grasses here, there are no birds and beasts, and even the chirping of insects cannot be heard, which makes people feel creepy.

Zhong Lifei didn't care, followed the smell, and found a huge cave that went straight down.

From time to time, a puff of turbid air emanates from the entrance of the cave, indicating that this is not an ordinary cave.

Chu Fan looked down, and the darkness was bottomless, and he couldn't see the situation inside clearly.

He was surprised and said, "Master, this cave has been formed for a long time, but the walls of the cave are extremely smooth, maybe there are monsters hiding in it. ”

"You're right."

Zhongli Fei answered behind him, picked up a stone and threw it in.

The subsequent "plopping" sound indicates that there is a deep pool in the cave, and the water level is very deep.

Zhong Lifei laughed and said, "Apprentice, take out the five poisons and scatter them, it will be useful for the teacher." ”

Chu Fan's face turned pale, and he hurriedly shook his head and said that he didn't have such a thing.

The lessons of the senior brothers were close at hand, and his heart was full of shadows.

Admitting the fact that he participated in the plot to poison him, Zhong Lifei had to beat himself up.

Seeing that the apprentice denied it, Zhong Lifei immediately changed his face and said in a deep voice: "If you don't take it out again, I will cure you of a great crime of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors!" ”

"Master, I'm ......" Chu Fan stumbled.

He knew that Zhong Lifei knew about it, but he had been pretending to be deaf and dumb.

If he didn't hand over the poison, the master would definitely kill himself.

Chu Fan hurriedly took out the bottle of Five Poison Powder, and handed it to the master with trembling hands.

Zhong Li Fei pulled off the cork and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "Li Fang's money is not unjustly spent, it is indeed an authentic bottle." ”

Isn't it, you even know about the senior brother's purchase of medicine, did you install eyeliner in Xuanwu Gate?

Chu Fan observed the master nervously, for fear that he would suddenly turn his face.

Zhong Lifei was not angry at all, but asked the apprentice to take out the gourd in the baggage and fill it with water.

"Master, what are you going to do?" Chu Fan asked in wonder.

"Fishing for water snakes."

Zhong Lifei smiled and sat cross-legged on the edge of the cave, closing his eyes comfortably.

Chu Fan had no bottom in his heart, and he had the urge to run away for a while.

But after thinking about it, with the character of the master, he endured this matter for a long time, and it was obvious that he had no intention of punishing himself.

In that case, what are you going to do, just be an obedient apprentice.

He knew in his heart that it was easy to escape at this time, so who would teach him advanced swordsmanship?

After thinking about it like this, Chu Fan was no longer afraid, and went to look for springs and streams in the mountains.

When Chu Fan came back from fetching water, Zhong Lifei poured all the bottles of Five Poison Powder into the gourd and shook it evenly.

He then threw the gourd into the hole along with the poisonous water.

Seeing Master's move, Chu Fan became happy.

A large bottle of five poisons scattered and fell, and it had to poison the big snake hidden in the cave.

What a brilliant idea, it saved them the time to get rid of the snake demon.

At this time, the cave "gurgling" non-stop, like a pot of boiling water.

After everything calmed down, the master and apprentice looked down at the cave, and their eyes immediately widened.

In the pitch-black hole, two swollen, shiny things appeared.

It looks like two inextinguishable lights have been raised.

"Wow, the pearl of the night, we have made a fortune."

Zhong Lifei's face was full of excitement, and he said to Chu Fan with bad intentions: "Good apprentice, tie a rope around your waist and go down and fish them up." ”

Bah, you want to kill me!

Chu Fan was not happy, and directly pointed out the truth: "Don't fool me, what kind of night pearl is this, it is obviously the two eyes of a monster!" ”

He remembered very well that the red-scaled python in the Seven Peerless Mountains made Zhu Bajie mistakenly think that its two eyes were lanterns floating in the night sky when it first appeared, and in the end, it was Sun Wukong, who had fiery eyes, who saw through the true body of the monster.

The current situation is so similar to the fragments described in "Journey to the West"!

No matter how stupid Chu Fan is, he will not fall for the master.

Seeing through the trick by the apprentice, Zhong Lifei changed his smile to a harmless smile and said, "Just kidding the teacher, why are you so excited!" ”

Chu Fan was even more angry and scolded: "Fortunately, I know the risk, otherwise I would have been cheated by you and become a monster's meal!" ”

"It's a pity that it can't be poisoned." Zhong Lifei hurriedly changed the topic.

At this time, the ground began to tremble, as if an earthquake was coming.

But the master and apprentice knew that this was a sign that the monster at the bottom of the cave was about to appear.

Suddenly, there was a loud "boom", and a behemoth rushed out of it and jumped into the air.

When its massive body slammed into the ground, a deep, long ditch suddenly erupted in the ground.

As soon as he saw this guy's true face, Chu Fan was taken aback.

This is a giant python that is dozens of feet long, and the body of a snake as thick as a small boat is covered with dark scales, and from time to time it flashes gray fluorescence.

"You, you still say that there are no monsters in the world, isn't this just a ready-made snake demon!" Chu Fan shouted.

Zhong Lifei said very seriously: "This is not a monster, but a snake that is still breathing. It will eventually evolve into a dragon, how can you say that it is a monster. ”

Ancient books record that the dragon turned into a dragon for 500 years, and the dragon turned into a dragon for 500 years, and the dragon for 500 years was a horned dragon, and a thousand years for a dragon.

This is not a treatment that ordinary youkai can enjoy, so this guy looks like a snake, but it is a spiritual creature that is rare in a thousand years.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the snake opened its bloody mouth and let out a loud roar similar to a dragon's roar at the master and apprentice.

In an instant, a terrifying aura filled the entire valley.

It has been dormant in this deep cave and no one has found it, and now that Zhong Lifei's master and apprentice have disturbed Qing Xiu, how can it not be mad and angry.

"Oh my god, this guy wants to eat us." Chu Fan's face turned white again.

"What are you afraid of, use the swordsmanship taught by the teacher to cut the seven inches of the evil animal, and you will be able to kill it with one blow."

After speaking, Zhong Lifei also deliberately bumped fists with his apprentice to show encouragement.

Hearing what the master said like that, Chu Fan had confidence and hurriedly drew his sword in his hand.

After taking a deep breath, he flew up, his sword stabbing at the snake like a meteor.

"Dang", sparks splashed.

The long sword slashed accurately at the seven inches of the body, but it couldn't hurt it in the slightest, but shook Chu Fan's arm to a faint pain.

Enraged, the snake swung its body angrily and threw him out on the spot.

"Wow!" Chu Fan, who fell to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood.

He suddenly knew that he had been cheated by the master, and before he could scold a few words, the other party had already come to his side like lightning.

The apprentice's action made Zhong Lifei realize that this snake had cultivated to the point that the sword was invulnerable.

"Run!"

He made a quick decision, grabbed the apprentice, turned around and fled.

Chu Fan was immediately stunned, how could he have thought that the master would be like this.

ran to the foot of the mountain in one breath, and the master and apprentice dared to turn around and watch.

Noticing that the snake was not following after them, they sat down to rest breathlessly.

The cowardly behavior shown by the master made Chu Fan very disdainful, and he couldn't help but complain.

Zhong Lifei didn't care, and sighed: "I said that I couldn't meet a robber after walking on the mountain road for a long time, it turned out that there was this evil animal entrenched here, and it ate up all the humans who entered the mountain." ”

With that, he got up and drew his sword and carved words on a large rock that was exposed to the ground.

Chu Fan stepped forward to take a look and found that the master had carved such a line of words: There are dragons in the mountains, and pedestrians are not allowed to enter.

He said unhappily: "Knowing that there are harmful monsters hidden in the mountains and not thinking about getting rid of them, how effective can you do if you leave a warning?" ”

Zhong Lifei said in a heartfelt manner: "What's the benefit of getting rid of it, and no one pays me a copper plate." Isn't it a great loss to lose one's life unjustly! ”

Seeing the apprentice rolling his eyes at him, he said again: "Don't you know how powerful this beast is, this evil animal is extremely poisonous, and if you bite it, your body will curl up into a ball, your head and feet will stick together, and you don't know how ugly it is!" ”

Chu Fan snatched a sentence: "Didn't you say that you are invincible to all poisons, why are you afraid of a little snake now?" ”

"Ah, there's some truth to what you're saying!" Zhongli Fei laughed.

Afterwards, he confided the truth: "It's not that I don't want to kill this evil beast, but I don't have the things on hand that have broken its incorruptible body, and it will be more troublesome to solve, and we will kill it after we come back from Youyi Kingdom." ”

"At that time, this guy doesn't know how many lives he has killed, so it's better to gather what you need and settle accounts with it."

"Okay, I'll arrange for you to collect these things now."

Zhong Lifei opened his mouth and said a lot of names of medicines and things, most of which were things that Chu Fan had never heard of.

Chu Fan was dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond.
