It's been ten days since the snake demon started a turmoil, but there is still an endless stream of people coming to Hongjing City from all directions. The huge corpse of the snake demon hill is placed on the square next to the Heavenly Master Temple, and after the secret method of the Heavenly Master Sect to deal with the corpses of demons, these corpses can always maintain the appearance of the demon without corruption, which makes the people who come around to see the appearance of this big demon feast their eyes, from morning to night, the crowd around the square is not less. The Hongjingcheng County Yadu had to send people to help the Daoists of the Heavenly Master Temple maintain order. Together, the small city of Hongjing City is suddenly lively several times, so it has changed from an inconspicuous small county town to a scenic spot, and the inns are overcrowded, and even many houses are used to rent out to visitors from other places, and it is prosperous for a while.

At noon on this day, more than a dozen Taoist priests in a hurry walked into Hongjing City among the tourists. They are old and young, their faces are covered with dust, and their clothes are also in tatters, which is not much better than being called Hanako. Although there was obvious tiredness on their faces, several of the younger disciples were in high spirits, and not long after entering the city, one of the youngest took a street vendor and asked where the Heavenly Master Temple in the city was.

"Ah, are a few Taoist masters also coming to see that snake demon? You guys are really here right, if you don't come to our Hongjing City to see this monster in Jingzhou, you will feel ashamed to say it in the future!" This street vendor is a thin man in his forties, and he is used to seeing visitors from other places these days, especially such a wild Taoist priest, who is very familiar with pointing to the direction of the Heavenly Master Temple to introduce them. "It's really only when I see the appearance of this snake demon that I know how amazing the Dao masters of the Heavenly Master Dao are. How did that demon real person work and cultivate. If he hadn't made a timely move, maybe the snake demon would have eaten up all the people in Hongjing City sooner or later!"

"By the way, a few Taoist masters have come from afar, but there is a place to stay? The inn in this Hongjing City has long been full, and I heard that three days ago, even the firewood room cost one or two pieces of silver, and the people had to squeeze to sleep, but now they may not be able to squeeze in with money! However, there are still two vacant rooms in the courtyard of my uncle's second aunt's house, and they can be rented to all the Taoist chiefs for only five taels of silver a day. As he spoke, the peddler came over again and lowered his voice as if he wanted to tell them a shocking secret. "And I can tell you that my uncle's nephew is a miscellaneous servant in the Heavenly Master Temple. If you stay there for a few days, you may know him. My uncle's nephew is a man of the best way, and I remember that he secretly got some of the snake demon scales for someone else last time. If you pay for it, maybe you can get it for you, and then show it off to others in the future, and let others know that you Dao Masters are masters who have met with this monster, then the business will be much easier?"

This peddler obviously knows the way too. It is not because of the tattered clothes and depraved appearance of this group of Taoist priests that they are beggars. These wandering Fu Daoist priests are no matter how tattered their clothes are, and their faces will be expanded. Even if it seems that there is really no silver, there are a few talismans in the town pocket, and when it is really necessary, they can be worth dozens of taels of silver if they are sent to the Shenji Hall to be sold cheaply, and they must not be taken lightly.

"No need, we are also members of the Heavenly Master Sect, and the one who killed the snake demon was my uncle. The young Taoist priest who asked him replied lightly, turned his head and left, although his voice tried to make an indifferent tone. But the pride in it can almost make people close their eyes and cry. The peddler looked at the back of this group of ragged Taoist priests in amazement, and he couldn't believe that this group of wild Taoist priests who looked no better than beggars were actually the Heavenly Masters of Longhu Mountain.

"I didn't expect Uncle Yuhong to do such a big thing quietly. I heard that the demon can already transform into a human form and bewitch the people. That is at least a big demon with nearly a thousand years of cultivation, and there has not been such a demon in Kyushu for several years, so I know that Uncle Yuhong must have something big to do when he rushed back to Longhu Mountain in a hurry. This time, Uncle Yuhong has made this great contribution to my Heavenly Master Sect, which has greatly increased the prestige of my Dragon and Tiger Mountain, can you hear the man's eyes and tone when he talked about my Heavenly Master Sect just now? I will definitely tell my father, this year's demon extermination order must be recorded at the top of the righteous path list!"

The young man and a few Taoist priests around him couldn't help but dance as they spoke, it seemed that if they weren't on the street, they would be able to dance directly, and several young Taoist priests on the same road also nodded their heads again and again. The other slightly older ones were much calmer, and the old Taoist priest at the head was expressionless, only a little loosening in his tired eyes, as if the porter who had walked two hundred miles with a hundred-pound burden had finally seen the end of the road ahead.

"But that man actually regarded us as those wild Taoist priests who ran around to deceive the rich people in the countryside for a living, which is really rude!" said the young Taoist priest and became a little annoyed, but he looked down at his tattered Taoist robe, and the companions around him were all like this, all of them were ragged and their hair was scattered, even if they were the kind of wild Taoist priests, they were also the kind of Luotuo, and they were a little discouraged. "It's also strange that we are in a hurry this way, in fact, after entering Jingzhou, we can rest, tidy up a little, this appearance is really a bit of a loss of face for my Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Sect. ”

"I feel that I have been chased by people in Yunzhou and Shuzhou, and I almost have to rely on some luck to escape here, which has even worsened my face as a celestial master. An older middle-aged Taoist priest snorted rather dissatisfied, looked at the young Taoist priest and said. "Zhang Hengliang, these are all troubles caused by the self-righteousness of you and a few senior brothers. It's good that everyone can come here safely, as long as we can find Yuhong Zhenren here, then we don't have to worry about the Tang family and the Yunzhou barbarians will send people to chase and kill. But even so, you'd better try to be as restrained as possible, and don't be self-righteous anymore. ”

The young man named Zhang Hengliang's face turned a little red when he heard this, and he argued unconvincedly: "How can it be that I have caused a disaster again? I am also kind-hearted, when I saw that the barbarian old man was about to die in the mouth of the demon, I used the golden armor god talisman to kill those little demons, how do you know what kind of mountain spirit is raised by the Yunzhou barbarians? Those Yunzhou barbarians are so barbaric. It's not wrong to use your own living people to raise monsters, and to kill them as demon cult demons anywhere in our Central Plains. ”

The middle-aged Taoist priest seemed to have been holding back a lot of words in his heart, and this time he couldn't help but squirt out: "Uncle Liu Hongde has also reminded you a long time ago. The terroir of Yunzhou is completely different from other places in Kyushu, no matter what you encounter, don't act rashly, you just don't listen, and you still self-righteously want to get rid of the demons. Many of the cottages of the Yunzhou barbarians were originally shemales, and there were customs and habits everywhere. If it weren't for Uncle Liu Hongde's quick reaction and effective command, maybe we would all have been killed and fed to the monsters by those barbarian mountain people. And when I was in Shuzhou, I also told you that it was the territory of Tangjiabao. The Tang family is not easy to mess with, even if there are any grievances, just endure a little, you are good. Just a little at the time of the ferry

After searching your body, you collided with the people, and beat them half to death with the talisman. Although that person is a minion of the vassal family of the Tang family, he is also a member of the Tang family after all, and he still holds the position of the government. It's okay that the Tang family doesn't care. If they find out who you are. If you have any ideas, with the ruthlessness and viciousness of the Tang family, we will just die, and maybe we will be dragged down to Longhu Mountain. We've been so wolf all the way, and it's all caused by you. ”

The young man named Zhang Hengliang was even more ashamed and annoyed when he heard this, and shouted: "Nonsense, how can it all be blamed on me?" Then the Tang family is so arrogant and rude, we have already reported the name of Longhu Mountain, and they don't pay attention to it at all. Only send a small minion who is not in the stream to lead the way, and what passes through Tangjiabao within a hundred miles must be searched carefully. Even the Forbidden City, where the emperor lived, was not so strict, right?Soldiers can be killed and cannot be humiliated, how can the thousand-year-old prestige of my Dragon and Tiger Mountain be damaged like that?" "Speaking of which, if Uncle Yuhong led us, we would never be so wolf-like, not to mention those Yunzhou barbarians who drove away demons and insects, what if it was a person from the Tang family? Could it be more powerful than the Xidi people who invaded the Central Plains back then?

"Zhang Hengliang, you're enough!" The middle-aged Taoist shouted angrily, attracting all the passers-by around him to look sideways. The young Taoist priest named Zhang Hengliang only kept his mouth shut, but the look on his face was clearly unfair and unconvinced. Only the leader of the old road didn't seem to listen to these disputes behind him, and just walked briskly along the street.

The Heavenly Master View is really easy to find. Because you only need to walk towards a crowded place, and you only need to get a little closer, you can see the small hill-like giant snake corpse protruding from the surrounding houses.

After walking for half a pillar of incense, all the Taoist priests crowded to the front with the flow of people. Standing next to this snake corpse, looking at the huge body that is dozens of zhang long and several zhang wide, I feel like an ant around me, and the young Taoist priest led by Zhang Hengliang also made the same exclamation as the people and tourists around him, and he was a little more excited, and he talked about it.

"It's the first time I've seen such a huge youkai. Just by looking at this body, you know that this demon has been cultivating for at least nearly a thousand years, and there has not been such a demon in the Central Plains for many years?

"Look at the wound on the skull, it must have been slapped by Uncle Yuhong there, Uncle Yuhong's internal strength in the Xuanmen is extremely pure, and it will never be worse than those false Taoisms of the True Martial Sect, hitting stones is like powder and waving iron into mud, even if this snake demon has a scale armor as hard as steel, the inner brain marrow can only be shocked into a mess of mud!"

"That's not all, how can this demon be subdued with martial arts alone? Uncle Yuhong must have used the Taishang Ziwei Evil God Thunder, so he killed this demon with one blow!"

Different from the gossipy young Taoist, although the other older ones were surprised when they saw this snake corpse, they were also puzzled at the same time, and the middle-aged Taoist priest who had fought with Zhang Hengliang before frowned, and whispered to the old Taoist priest headed by him: "No, although this snake demon must be a great demon for nearly a thousand years, this strong body is by no means proficient in changing illusions." ”

The old Taoist priest who was the leader smiled faintly without shock: "That is naturally another mystery in it." These town guards and Taoist priests are accustomed to deceiving their superiors and subordinates, and they can report a great achievement if something goes wrong. And you don't know the usual methods in the sect, this time the thousand-year-old snake demon is pushed to the light with such fanfare to attract attention, and I don't know what else is hidden inside. ”

"But this snake demon is indeed only able to be captured and killed so lightly. There is no doubt about that. The middle-aged Taoist priest sighed. "I only hope that Yuhong Zhenren is still here, and our hard work is over. ”

"Senior Brother Liu, did you just come out of Shuzhou? Why did you get here? Don't you go back to Longhu Mountain directly?"

In the view of the Heavenly Master. Zhang Yuhong looked at the dusty and ragged old man, and was a little surprised. This is exactly Liu Hongde, who broke up with him in the Yunzhou Shenmu Forest. If it is according to their original itinerary, it should be from Yunzhou back to Shuzhou, and then east out of Shuzhou back to Jingnan Longhu Mountain, although it is Jingbei, but there is still some distance from their journey, and it will never be able to come here by the way.

Liu Hongde shook his head with a wry smile: "There have been many twists and turns along the way. If you didn't suppress those juniors, those boys who didn't know the height of the sky could really cause trouble, not only in Yunzhou and the natives had a conflict. In Shuzhou, there was a misunderstanding with the Tang family, and he injured a subordinate, and it was luck to be able to bring everyone to Jingzhou safely. Fortunately, as soon as I entered the territory of Jingzhou, I heard that my junior brother had killed a thousand-year-old snake demon here, and a few people led by Zhang Hengliang also came to you first. I led them to hurry over. Fortunately, junior brother, you haven't left yet, and you don't have to worry about the Tang family or people from Yunzhou chasing after you. ”

"It's been a hard journey, brother. Zhang Yuhong sighed heavily. Zhang Hengliang was the sister-in-law of Zhang Yuanling, who was ordered to go to the Shenmu Forest in the depths of Yunzhou, and one of the tasks was to lead him and several young disciples in the sect to increase their knowledge all the way. originally thought it was just a simple return trip, but it also gave birth to many branches. "Senior brother doesn't need to worry, the natives of Yunzhou are extremely jealous of the Tang family, and they will not chase them out of the mountains because of personal grievances, and the Tang family will definitely plan and then act. After a move, it will be like a devouring poisonous snake with a fatal blow, and it will never stop until it reaches its goal. If you really want to care, you will never have a chance to get out of Shuzhou. ”

"Anyway, with you, you can suppress those young people. Liu Hongde leaned back in his chair, let out a long breath, and relaxed from exhaustion. "Except for Zhang Hengliang, the others are also the descendants of the elders of the faction, and I can't afford to go on a business trip. These boys have been in the land of Jingnan for too long, how can they know the vastness and sinister nature of the world outside. Pai Zhong wants them to open their eyes, and they don't know how to start from a young age when they exercise slowly. I've suffered a lot this time, and I'm sure I'll get better in the future. ”

Zhang Yuhong shook his head: "I can't go all the way with you, I still have a heavy responsibility in this Jingbei land." And this land in Jingbei seems to be peaceful, but in fact, it is extremely dangerous, so it is best for you to leave quickly and return to Longhu Mountain. ”

"Dangerous?" Liu Hongde was stunned. "The snake demon outside is already a rare thousand-year-old demon, what could be more sinister?"

"It's the Earth Spirit Master. The Earth Spirit Master has escaped from the Earth Spirit Temple. It was because of this that the faction summoned me back to the mountain with a summons from Fu He. Zhang Yuhong said in a deep voice. "Moreover, the earth spirit master is familiar with the Jingnan waterway, and set up a large array of Zhengyi edict in the waterway of a city, and then lure me to make a move, borrow my Ziyang Demon Sword as the pivot, and use the Zhengyi Divine Law as the vein, and attract the faith and willingness accumulated by the Taoist temple in the city to help him abandon the old body and achieve the Yang God Law Body in one fell swoop. That snake demon was just a helper he found, and I narrowly won a game with the help of a few Taoist friends. Now the Earth Spirit Master is lurking in this land of Jingbei, and I don't know what he is planning, so I can only wait here to respond to all changes. ”

"What?" Liu Hongde was already stunned. "How could the Earth Spirit Master get away? How could those who were guarding the Earth Spirit Hall be so derelict in their duties?"

Zhang Yuhong pondered for a moment, glanced at Liu Hongde, and still sighed and said: "Regarding this matter, the results of the investigation in the faction are like this."

In the backyard of the Heavenly Master's Temple, after freshening up and putting on a new robe, Zhang Hengliang felt that he was full of energy and self-confidence again, and the things he encountered in the deep mountains of Yunzhou and Shuzhou, as well as the panic and nervousness at that time, now looking back on it, it is as far away as his previous life.

Of course, Zhang Hengliang will not forget about jì. Whether it is Uncle Yuhong or other elders in the faction, he still remembers the words he told him before, they went to Yunzhou this time, no matter what they encountered on the way, they can learn from it, if they suffer setbacks, it will be better, then they know more clearly what they lack and what direction they need to work towards.

Therefore, Zhang Hengliang made up his mind now, after returning to the mountain, he would retreat and practice the Taoism, spending ten times more energy and a hundred times more concentration than before, until he could have the Taoist method that was as proud of the world as Uncle Yuhong. If Uncle Yuhong was here this time, how could his group be so wolf along the way?

Thinking of Uncle Yuhong, Zhang Hengliang's heart was hot again. Conquering the world for decades, subduing demons and subduing demons countless times, a Heavenly Master Dao reached the peak, went straight into three thousand miles alone, turned the tide among tens of thousands of Xidi people, and refused the princess's infatuation. Zhang Yuhong, the real person of the Demon Suppression, is the idol in the hearts of almost all the young disciples of Longhu Mountain, and Zhang Hengliang is of course one of them. Although due to his special identity, he also vaguely knew that his father and the elders of the faction were jealous of this true demon person, and he also knew that the various relationships in the faction were actually not so simple, but he still couldn't help but be fascinated by Zhang Yuhong's outstanding appearance, cultivation, and prestige. He even complained about his father because of this, feeling that treating a world-famous uncle like this was really degrading to the identity of the Heavenly Master.

This time, Uncle Yuhong killed the snake demon here, and made such a great contribution to the Heavenly Master Sect, so he should follow him well if he says anything, and ask him to guide him in his Taoism and martial arts, and he can take the opportunity to learn his demeanor.

"Senior Brother Shao Hengliang, then please have a good rest here, Senior Brother still has something to do, so I will retire first. Yuntong Lao Dao's face twisted into a twist, facing Zhang Hengliang, he didn't know whether he should please carefully, or he still wanted to use his identity as a senior brother to capture him, and he almost called him wrong, so he could only plan to retreat and calm down first. This Hongjing City is just a small county town outside Jingnan, and his status as a town guardian in the Heavenly Master Sect is not high, this is still a position that he has only obtained for many years, and when he suddenly saw the son of the Heavenly Master, he was as panicked as the ordinary Qipin County Order suddenly met the prince.

"There is Senior Brother Lao, and Senior Brother is himself. Although Zhang Hengliang also looked down on this senior brother Yuntong in his heart, he still did not make the slightest mistake in his etiquette and demeanor, and returned the courtesy politely.

Just when the old wolf of Yuntong was embarrassed to withdraw from the gate of the courtyard, the two people also walked in at the same time, and looked at the strange old Yuntong with a strange face. Zhang Hengliang also glanced at the two people, but at first glance, his eyes could no longer be separated.

It was a man and a woman, two young people, the man was wearing a Taoist robe, but at a glance, Zhang Hengliang could see from the subtleties of the Taoist robe that this should be a disciple of Shangqing Maoshan, and the woman was just dressed in white, without the slightest fat powder and superfluous dress, but a long hair like a silk-like waterfall scattered down at will, which brought out countless styles and styles. The woman's eyebrows almost perfectly interpret the concept of 'perfect', and at first glance there is a girlish purity and vitality, and when you feel it carefully, there seems to be a kind of flamboyance and charm that can arouse people's deepest desires.

The moment he saw this woman, Zhang Hengliang felt that his mind was blank, and there seemed to be something in the deepest part of his heart that was so subtle that he had never noticed it, but it was so huge that it seemed that the whole soul was trembling and was touched, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had stepped forward and arched his hand, and said to the woman: "Zhang Hengliang in Xialonghu Mountain, I don't know what this fairy is" (to be continued......
