A few days later, in the evening, the sky was full of red clouds, and the two came to an abandoned temple.

"Lanruo Temple?"

Teng Zijing looked up at the gatehouse archway in front of him, and his face showed a look of doubt.

"I remember, there was no temple here, am I mistaken?"

"Hehe, it looks like I'm really old......"

Teng Zijing smiled self-deprecatingly, and then walked inside.

Seeing that it was getting dark, there were no inns and people nearby, so I had to settle here.

Bai Ze didn't say anything, just followed silently.

It's the last time, go wherever you want, and everywhere you go will be unimpeded!

This is my last promise to you.

The two rested in the temple for the night, and nothing strange happened. This night, everything was silent, even the insects in the nearby grass did not dare to make a sound, and Teng Zijing slept comfortably.

Early the next morning.

Teng Zijing hadn't woken up yet, and Bai Ze slipped away to the backyard of Lanruo Temple alone.

There, there is a huge banyan tree, the trunk is as thick as a dozen people hugging, and countless roots hang down to the ground, forming a forest of solitary trees.

And under the tree, there are many clay pots entwined by the roots.

Bai Ze walked over and knocked these crockpots to the ground, seemingly inadvertently.

"Click, click......"

The crockpot shattered, and white powder spilled out of it and went away with the wind.

The wind seemed to be filled with emotions of relief and silent thanks......

"Rustle!"

The big banyan tree shook violently, and the leaves made a sound and seemed to be angry.

"You're not convinced?"

Bai Ze looked at the big banyan tree, and a line of blood-colored fonts appeared in the air in front of him, and he was awe-inspiring.

The big banyan tree shuddered suddenly, and then stopped moving.

"I won't kill you as a demon, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped."

A line of font appeared in front of Bai Ze again, and then he turned around and left.

"Buzz!"

The line of font turned into a black light and burrowed into the banyan tree.

"Whoa, whoa!"

The next moment, the lush leaves on the banyan tree fell like rain, and they couldn't stop at all.

"My way! No—"

A face appeared above the banyan tree, and an unwilling roar was heard.

"Boom!"

In the sky above the temple, black clouds suddenly gathered, lightning and thunder roared, and even a strong wind blew, and the weather was about to rain.

"Boom!"

But the next moment, the sound of stomping feet sounded, and the heavens and the earth seemed to tremble, and the dark clouds in the sky suddenly shattered, and then dissipated.

"The evil power on my body is so heavy, I don't know how many people have been harmed, it's good to be alive, and you still want to do it?"

Bai Ze sneered, then wagged his tail and leisurely returned to the room where Teng Zijing slept.

"It's thundering, is it going to rain?" Teng Zijing was awakened by the thunder just now and asked in surprise.

"No, it's just a lot of thunder and a little rain." Bai Ze shook his head.

"Okay, pack up, let's get on."

Teng Zijing got up, dressed neatly, and then continued on the road with the bookcase on his back.

The two left the temple.

In the backyard, the leaves of the thousand-year-old banyan tree had fallen off, and it was spread in a thick layer on the ground, and as soon as the wind blew, it dispersed......

Two days later, a little Taoist priest came here with an old Taoist priest.

"Master, this is here, there are monsters, very powerful monsters!!"

The little Taoist priest said in horror.

The old Taoist priest pulled out the peachwood sword, looked at the sky in the backyard with a solemn face, and after a long time, he suddenly knocked the little Taoist priest with a chestnut.

"The demon qi is so weak, it's just a little demon who has not transformed into a shape! Next time this happens, don't bother with the teacher! ”

The old Taoist snorted coldly, then recited a few incantations and threw the peachwood sword in his hand.

"Whew!"

The peachwood sword flew into the backyard with a red glow, and then flew back with a trail of blood.

"Okay, it's just an old tree, the spirit has been cut down by me, God has the virtue of a good life, let it continue to grow."

The old Taoist priest said lightly.

But when he saw the blood on the peachwood sword, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his face showed a look of horror, and his whole body trembled.

"Golden Demon Blood, Thousands and Thousands ......"

"What's wrong with Master?"

"Stupid, run away!!"

The old Taoist priest roared, grabbed the little Taoist priest, and ran away like crazy.

After running some distance, he seemed to remember that he could fly, so he took off into the air and flew away in a ray of light.

......

After leaving Lanruo Temple, it was still a boring rush.

I have to say that there are really many monsters between the mountains and rivers, and in the next few days, the two met two monsters who changed shapes, one turned into a woodcutter and the other turned into a fisherman.

With their slight deeds, they must not be able to see Bai Ze's particularity, they just thought it was an ordinary dog, but they did not have any evil intentions, the two sides met in Pingshui, and then passed by.

Maybe that's the norm.

In fact, most of the monsters are not extremely vicious, and after they transform into shapes, they also experience the various states of life like ordinary people, or they just mix in the crowd, or even ...... It could be your mom and dad.

One man and one dog continued on their way.

As we get closer and closer to the capital, there are more and more cities and villages around it, the fire of red dust is shining, and there are fewer and fewer traces of monsters.

"Finally...... It's here. ”

Half a month later, the two finally came to the capital, and Teng Zijing looked at the majestic city gate where people came and went, and had mixed feelings.

The capital has been absent for many years.

He has been an official in the capital for more than 40 years, but in his later years he was demoted to Baling County, which is 21 years.

Over the years, the first emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne, so he naturally forgot about him.

"Those old friends of mine, I don't know how they're doing now." Teng Zijing said to himself with some sadness.

Bai Ze, on the other hand, looked solemnly at the majestic city wall in front of him.

In his eyes, the entire capital exuded a scorching aura, like a huge furnace, and the sky was all reflected red!

"Red Dust Fire? The ultimate red dust fire! Bai Ze took a deep breath.

He had heard that the fire of red dust, also known as the fire of civilization, was a symbol of human civilization. The more popular and prosperous the place, the more prosperous the fire of civilization.

This is the nemesis of all evil.

Even, if the fire of civilization is fused with the iron-blooded evil spirit of the army, it can break ten thousand laws!

Therefore, whether it is a monster or a Taoist monk, even if it is a monstrous mana, he does not dare to offend the majesty of the imperial court.

Monsters are all hiding in Tibet, and usually only dare to commit murder in the inaccessible wild. In addition to the majestic majesty of Taoist priests and monks when subduing demons and subduing demons, they must also be obedient to the people and abide by the law at other times.

"In the sky above the palace, there is also a golden dragon of luck entrenched, and that majesty is also terrifying." Bai Ze exclaimed in his heart.

The momentum of the Fortune Golden Dragon was so terrifying that even with his current 6,800-year-old Dao practice, he felt a little depressed. If you change to other monsters, I'm afraid you will feel the power of Mount Tai!

Therefore, the land of the capital is the last thing that the monsters of all parties are willing to approach.

Back then, he became a demon in the capital, and he lived in the capital for a long time, so at that time, the fire of red dust in the capital regarded him as his own.

Now it's different, after more than 20 years away from Beijing, the Red Dust Fire in the capital treats him as an alien monster and begins to reject him.

"It's okay, I have a way."

He took a deep breath and gathered all the demonic power and the great demon aura to a level that even the Red Dust Fire could not detect.

It's just that it will be very tiring, which is equivalent to holding your breath and not breathing for a long time. With his current Taoism and concentration, it will not be a problem to hold back for three or five days.

Teng Zijing's entry into Beijing is not a big deal, but it is just a visit to relatives and friends, and three or five days is enough.

……

The capital, the palace of the Duke of Qin.

In the pavilion in the back garden, several old people who are past their primeness are gathering together, chanting poems, playing the piano and playing chess.

"Smack!"

"Hahaha, Huaimin, you've lost again!"

"It seems that Huaimin didn't sleep well last night, which alley did he go to for recreation?"

"Go, go, read people's business, can that be called a pastime? What's more, I'm at this age, even if I want to, I'm powerless. ”

"That's not necessarily, you see Brother Zijing, he is over sixty years old and has a daughter, which shows that he is not ambitious."

"You, you, you!"

"Hahahaha......"

So, the gazebo was full of laughter.

After a long time, someone sighed: "It's a pity, Brother Zijing is not here, after all, I feel that something is missing." ”

Suddenly, everyone's mood was low.

"Yes, Brother Zijing's depreciation is twenty-one years, and now he is eighty-eight years old, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see him again in this life."

"Hey...... Baling County is located in a remote area, the road is far away, there are many rugged mountain roads on the way, and it is said that there are monsters causing trouble, and it is too difficult to enter Beijing."

"We old bones want to go to Baling County to see him, but we are old and frail, and we can't do it anymore."

"Hey......"

At this moment, a subordinate came to report: "A few adults, Teng Zijing, the guard of Baling County, is visiting, do you want to let him in?" ”

Everyone was shocked and overjoyed.

Qin Gong trembled with excitement, and danced with his hands: "Hurry up, invite him in, invite him in!" ”

And then he seemed to realize something, and suddenly kicked on the man's ass, glared and scolded: "What Baling County Guard, when he was a cabinet scholar, you were not born yet!" Go! ”

So, the man covered his ass and fled.

Soon, in the eyes of everyone, a white-haired old man wearing a Xiucai robe walked slowly with a big white dog.

At this scene, everyone watching was in a trance.

In their eyes, the old figure who walked slowly with a bookcase on his back seemed to have changed into the appearance of his youth, and at that time, he was also dressed in this outfit, and he was also accompanied by this eye-catching big white dog......

"Brother Zijing!"

Someone called, and his voice trembled, containing the deep friendship brewed by the years of wind and frost.
