The fog was thick and the village was hazy.

The road was muddy from the heavy rain, and Wang Laogen limped with a robe and a hoe, and almost slipped into the mud puddle several times.

His cloth coat and straw sandals were covered with thick black mud, and when he came to the edge of the field, he changed into cowhide gloves, carefully pulling off the spreading poisonous weeds, not daring to touch the stingers on them.

It took most of the day to finally tidy up the fields.

He had uprooted all the newly grown poisonous weeds, and only a few taro seedlings with curved vines were left ticking in the drizzle.

Wang Laogen wiped the rain from his forehead, his eyes full of anticipation.

Although Muramasa has already said that this special taro is cultivated by the immortal master in Qingfeng Village, and he is not afraid of the threat of poisonous weeds, he still comes to the field every day to be busy.

When the fog came, these terrible poisonous weeds began to spread, and ordinary crops died when they were planted, plucked today, and filled the fields again tomorrow morning.

He didn't dare to gamble, and would rather work more every day, because these taros were the hope for the whole family to survive.

After doing this, seeing that the sky was a little dark, Wang Laogen hurried home, and when he passed by the village, he respectfully offered incense in front of the roadside shrine.

Inside the shrine, there is a stone statue of a toad.

This is the big-bellied man on Qingfeng Village, Wang Laogen saw with his own eyes, and a nest of big spiders that ate several people in the village was swallowed by this big-bellied man.

Near Moyang City, almost every village is enshrined.

Back in the village, other people who were busy with the farmland had also returned one after another, and they ate some gruel boiled with wild vegetables and brown rice, and then they all stayed at home and locked the courtyard door.

When it's dark, don't go out.

This is the lesson that the people have summed up after the fog disaster.

Few people who break this taboo will come back alive, because no one knows what monsters are hidden in the darkness.

Now, of course, it's a little different.

In the dim candlelight, the son of the family, who had been studying for a few days, was holding a book and reciting it with difficulty:

"When there is a tidal fog in the forest, stay away..."

"If there is a vision of the livestock in the house, report it immediately..."

"The old graves are now new soil, and most of them are haunted by corpse demons..."

"Check the Gu poison, you can see the whites of your eyes..."

Wang Laogen smoked a choking dry cigarette, interrupting the inquiry from time to time, his brows furrowed, and he didn't dare to miss a word.

He knew that this "Tai Sui Taboo Book" was written by the Tai Sui Immortal Master and apprentice on Qingfeng Village, and it talked about many ways to identify and avoid evil spirits.

This book does not record the method of cultivation, but if you read and recite it by heart, you can avoid disasters, Liu San in the village went to Moyang City to do business, on the way heard someone calling his name in the forest, according to the method of breaking the mint leaves, the torch escaped, only to escape a catastrophe.

The surrounding people are grateful to Qingfeng Village.

There is only one point, the names of evil things recorded in the "Tai Sui Taboo Book" are not only varied, but also awkward, and few people can remember most of them.

As a result, the people passed from place to place, and sometimes they couldn't tell what evil they had collided with, so they would unanimously say:

He's guilty of Tai Sui!

………………

"Master, it's all my fault."

On Qingfeng Village, as soon as Tie Yucheng finished his homework after being examined, he said with shame on his face: "This method was taught by the master, and I wanted to make a name for the master, but who knew that it was like this." ”

"It's okay, notoriety is famous."

Zhang Biao smiled dumbly and shook his head slightly.

This matter was done privately by Tie Yucheng and Zheng Yongxiang, and he didn't pay attention to it, who knew that the saying of "killing Tai Sui" came near Moyang City in a short time.

And with the "Tai Sui Taboo Book" being transported to the four directions by the Zheng family caravan, this statement will sooner or later spread to the entire Huaizhou.

Seeing that Tie Yucheng was still uneasy in his heart, he shook his head and said: "Writing books and sayings, it is the Confucian one, we practice, pay more attention to our own heart, if we are troubled by rumors, sooner or later we will be taken advantage of by the demons in our hearts." ”

"The path of cultivation is similar to walking at night, the heart of the Tao is a torch, and the eyes of others are the glowing ghost fire, and the heart is open, and there is nothing to see."

"Yes, Master."

After teaching his disciples, Zhang Biao left the Tie family.

Outside, because of the rain again, the renovation work was forced to stop, the carved stone slabs were stacked high, the muddy water flowed around, and the women and children in the village were busy in the fields in their robes.

Outside the wooden building of the village meeting hall, people come and go.

Zhang Biao's heart moved, and he strode in.

In the hall, Wu Tiexiong, Yu Kui, Cui Laodao, Yu Ziqing, Wang Xin and others were all present and were discussing around the table.

"Immortal Master."

"Brother Zhang."

Seeing Zhang Biao coming in, everyone hurriedly greeted him.

Zhang Biao frowned slightly, "What's wrong?" ”

Cui Laodao stroked his beard and smiled: "It's a good thing, there is no war." ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Biao was a little surprised, "Why?" ”

He spent most of his time cultivating during this time, and only when he went to the Tie family for dinner, he took advantage of his leisure time to guide his disciples.

On the Yunxia Pass side, since the last war, there have been all kinds of small frictions, stopping and grinding.

The power of Qingfeng Village is all used to promote the wolf's head konjac, but it just makes Zheng Yongxiang send people to pay attention.

Wu Tiexiong laughed and said, "This morning, City Lord Zheng specially sent someone to inform you that the matter over there in Yunxia Pass has finally come to an end. ”

"A few days ago, Da Liang sent an envoy to see the Xuchen Dao Chief, asking for a truce, and signing an agreement that Huaizhou would not be invaded..."

"I heard that there are also disciples of the Yanjia Sect participating in the war, and they also sent an envoy to ask the Xuchen Dao Elder to send troops and attack the Great Liang on two fronts with them..."

Zhang Biao shook his head when he heard this: "The people of the Yanjia Sect are crazy, they are facing the main force of the Great Liang and making no one ghosts, and they have no ability to fight back, how can Xuanduguan be fooled?" ”

"yes."

Cui Laodao said with a smile: "Xuchen naturally won't agree, but Yanjiazong sent a big gift, asking him to stick to the Huaizhou military village and form a containment of Daliang." ”

"Now that the three parties are in a dead end, no one can move, so there is this armistice agreement."

When Zhang Biao heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "It's good if you don't fight, and the people have a chance to live." ”

Cui Laodao said with a smile: "Not only that, Xuchen also released the news that Huaizhou will not intervene in any war from now on, reopen the Lushan City Market, and welcome monks from all over the world to go." ”

"As long as you don't make trouble, even if you are the Great Liang Yuzhen Mansion, you can go to trade, Lushan City will be developed in the future!"

"And this?"

Zhang Biao frowned, "Behind this matter, it is estimated that it is not so simple, this series of actions is clearly arranged." ”

Yu Ziqing was a lot more relaxed, "No matter what, it's a good thing not to fight, Qingfeng Village can't stand the toss." ”

Zhang Biao nodded, and then smiled at Cui Laodao: "Old man, the Lushan Assembly was originally under your jurisdiction, and if you came to Qingfeng Village with me, the benefits will be gone." ”

"Shh

Cui Laodao glanced at it disdainfully, "Poor Dao, how can I be that kind of stupid person, today's Lushan Bazaar is too conspicuous, if I stay, it is normal to lose my position, maybe I can't even save my life!" ”

"But the person in charge of the Lushan Market today is an old acquaintance, and he is very high, and that person is much more suitable than the old man."

"Who?"

"Gu Qiu!"

Zhang Biao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Sure enough, it's an old fox who can drill holes." ”

Gu Qiu was originally a martial arts master, and now he is a sword cultivator who stands on his own, but no matter which identity he is, he is not strong.

The most powerful thing about the other party is the ability to operate.

Through the Lushan City Market, this person is afraid that he will ride the wind.

"yes."

Cui Laodao shook his head and said: "Gu Qiu, although he is extremely cunning, but with him in Lushan Bazaar, it must be amazing, we are discussing to set up a shop in the bazaar, exchange goods, and collect intelligence." ”

"It's fine."

Zhang Biao thought for a moment and readily agreed.

In the bazaar, if he wants to collect the materials for spellcasting, it will be much easier, and he doesn't have to run around by himself.

After giving an explanation, he returned to the cave and sat cross-legged, carrying Zhou Tian with his eyes closed.

After a while, as the true qi was running, a layer of red hair appeared on the skin, which was ignited by the phoenix fire above his head, turning into black ashes and drifting away.

The symptoms of erysipelas are indeed strange.

These red hairs, which are erysipelas, are excreted from the pores and are similar to the roots of plants.

After nine weeks of transporting Zhou Tian, Zhang Biao opened his eyes, checked with his spiritual eye, and found that the state of erysipelas had been resolved, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

It is no wonder that taking the food method can quickly improve the Taoism, but there are very few sects based on this.

Without him, the bolerosipelas is too terrible.

Before, it was good to say that the three treasure medicines were used together, and erysipelas were more ferocious.

If he doesn't have a spiritual eye and doesn't drain the erysipelas and leaves a calamity, maybe when he fights against others, he will be attacked by erysipelas and become a bloodthirsty monster covered in red hair.

After doing this, Zhang Biao drank the remaining decoction and continued to practice refining and refinement, and the last flash of fire above his head became more and more blazing, and there were already signs of turning fiction into reality.

Before you know it, night falls.

Zhang Biao checked again after receiving the work, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, during this period of retreat, he could feel that the Tao had improved a lot, but he could not kick it open at the door, and it was difficult to enter the sixth grade.

The treasure medicine has also been used up, and it just so happens that the Lushan Market will reopen, and tomorrow we will harvest the Awakening Grass and go to exchange with the Five Immortal Sect.

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao got up again and came to the back secret room, only to see a bronze treasure tree standing inside, the leaves of which were all human faces, which was the ancestor treasure Xingyu tree.

He flicked the treasure tree, then sat cross-legged, his eyelids fluttering, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already pitch black around him, and he entered the dream realm.

"Jiazuo, Stomach Pills, Tengjian..."

Looking at the starry sky above, Zhang Biao meditated in turn.

In his spare time, he often used the method of dream occupation to search for the remaining inheritance clues of Fang Xiangzong, but unfortunately found nothing.

After the Five Immortals Sect disciple named Liu Santong left Huaizhou, even Xiongbo's information disappeared completely.

Zhang Biao is not discouraged, Mengzhan is looking for a needle in a haystack.

He already had a plan in his heart, to cultivate to the peak of the Qi refining period as soon as possible, go to the Great Cause Emperor's Mausoleum, and look for the inheritance of the Xuanyang Sect.

And with the improvement of the Tao, the area that Mengzhan can explore is also wider, and it is a big deal to travel the world, and you can always find it.

At the same time as Zhang Biao's dream, several fast horses came from the direction of Moyang City, riding horses and night walkers, all of whom were dusty and dusty, wearing hats on their heads, and did not care about the cold wind and drizzle.

The leader is the Lingchong who has not been seen for a long time.

After he sent away the poison avoidance beads, he returned to the mountain gate, and did not participate in the battle of Yunxia Pass, but now he suddenly appeared.

"Senior brother, is that person really going to make a move?"

Some fellow Taoists asked curiously.

Ling Chong was also a little hesitant, but still spoke: "Definitely, because our news is very important to him." ”

With that, he led people to Qingfeng Village on the horse.

…………

Call~

In the cave, the cool breeze blew, and the moon shadow lying beside Zhang Biao suddenly got up.

"Meow!"

A cat meow woke Zhang Biao up.

He dared to practice in the cave alone, so he naturally had something to rely on.

Within a hundred miles of Qingfeng Village, any wind and grass can be known by the willow inspiration, and there is a warning from the Moon Shadow Protector.

If there is a major event in the village, Yu Ziqing can also be notified through Liu Ling.

"Someone visiting late at night?"

Zhang Biao frowned, came to the entrance of the cave, black smoke exploded, turned into a black shadow, and quickly came to the wooden building of the conference hall.

The candles flickered inside, and it was Yu Ziqing, Wang Xin and others, who were accompanying the Xuandu Guandao people Lingchong.

How did he get here?

Zhang Biao was curious, but just as he was about to ask, he rushed up and said, "Mr. Tai Sui, something has happened, and I will inform you in the next place." ”

"Oh? Something happened..."

Zhang Biao's face was calm and asked.

Ling Chong said in a deep voice: "I came back from the mountain gate and was in charge of the cultivation of spiritual rice, and I happened to encounter the outbreak of the insect plague in Jianye City, so I stayed there to deal with it. ”

"I didn't want to trouble Mr., but when I destroyed a wormhole..."

"A new heir of Fang Xiangzong has appeared!"
