After Zhang Shaofei calmed down the tiger trouble, Zhang Gan and Wang Sheng led him to the county yamen to receive the reward.

Zhang Shaofei waved his hand and said: "I don't want the reward, you will distribute the reward to the nearby villages, let the people plant trees, and turn the bare mountains into green waters and green mountains." ”

Zhang Shaofei's words made the two tolerances both moved and helpless, so they told Zhang Shaofei that half a year ago, it was still a place of green water and green mountains, green trees and flowers, and lush greenery. But recently, for some reason, not an inch of grass grows, and it has become a bare mountain. In addition to the strange shape of large and small rocks, there are no green trees, let alone blooming flowers and plants, only the remnants of the roots of the trees.

The bare mountain was full of yellow sand and dust, and at this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the mountain flew sand and rocks, and the dust and smoke billowed like smoke from a burning furnace.

Zhang Shaofei pointed to the bald mountain ridge and asked curiously: "Two big brothers, this mountain is so high, but it is desolate, somehow?" ”

Zhang Gan was curious by nature, he looked at the bare mountain, and replied, "Maybe this mountain has the wrong name."

Zhang Gan's response touched Zhang Shaofei, he pinched his chin lightly, and said, "Jiao Shan? Jiaoshan? So many names are sorry, but they have such a strange name, what is going on? ”

Zhang Gan stretched out his hand and pointed upward: "You see, its ridges and peaks are like a pile of gray-black coals, accompanied by light mist, looking from afar, like a smoking iron furnace. That's why the locals call it Jiaoshan. ”

"Listen to what you say, and take a closer look, this is an apt name." Zhang Shaofei agrees.

Wang Sheng said with emotion: "At first glance, this mountain is indeed no different from being burned!" ”

Zhang Gan frowned: "There are so many colorful big stones on Jiao Mountain, where did they come from?" ”

Zhang Shaofei is worthy of being a knowledgeable and well-informed person, and explained to Zhang Gan: "I was once released from the history books, back then, the fire god Zhu Rong was dissatisfied with the rebellion of the water god Gonggong, and stood up to fight with the Gonggong, and got the help of the wind god. A fierce battle between the two sides was fought in the dark, and the sun and moon were dark. Gonggong faced a strong enemy, twisted all the six people, and cast all the spells, but was finally defeated by Zhu Rong. In a fit of rage, Gonggong flew and hit Zhou Shan, the pillar of the world, with his head, causing the heavens to collapse, and the water of the Tianhe River poured directly into the world, harming the land of China. Witnessing the tragic scene in the world, Nuwa couldn't bear the misery of life, and sacrificed herself to refine the red, yellow, blue, white, and black five-color stones, mending the sky and eliminating disasters for the people of Limin. After Nuwa mended the sky, she saw that there was still a leftover five-colored stone in her hand, so she scattered it on the five-colored stone on this scorched mountain in the world, which was very likely to be the stone that Nuwa scattered down. ”

Zhang Gan suddenly realized: "No wonder there are huge rocks all over Jiao Mountain, and there are many colors. ”

"This scorched mountain really resembles a furnace, the heat is pressing, even the weeds do not grow, there is a lack of water, and the local people must be suffering. It's still early today, now that we've come to this place, we might as well go and see if we can help the people here? Wang Sheng proposed.

Zhang Shaofei responded first: "Okay! ”

Zhang Gan also agreed.

So, they raised puffs of mud and dust along the way.

Standing at the height of the canyon, looking at the small stream, Zhang Shaofei said thoughtfully: "The mountain range here is located on the coast of the West Sea, which originally had the advantage of geography, and this peak is only three feet three from the sky, so it is the first to get the sunshine and rain in the sky, and the charm of fairy energy. According to this reasoning, this mountain should be lush with trees and flowers, but now it can't even grow flowers and trees. I think there's a lot of mystery in this. ”

"The mountains of Jiaoshan seem to have been roasted by fire, and they are too dry." Zhang Gan speculated, "There is no wind and no waves, and there must be a reason for it." I think there may be demons and monsters lurking here, doing evil. ”

Wang Sheng echoed: "Brother Zhang, your judgment is good. ”

Zhang Shaofei raised his hand and his face showed a sad face: "The goblins are making trouble in the mountains, and the people around them are the victims. ”

Zhang Gan touched his back sword and said confidently: "If there is indeed a goblin, how about we work together to get rid of it and benefit the local people?" ”

Zhang Shaofei took advantage of the situation and said: "Back then, Nuwa sacrificed her life to make up for the peace of the world. When we come here today, we should do our best to sweep away the demons and monsters, and eliminate disasters and difficulties for the people of Limin. ”

"Good, good!" Zhang Gan and Wang Sheng applauded in unison.

A peculiar smell blew with the mountain breeze, and Zhang Gan, who was particularly curious, was particularly sensitive, and shouted, "Two, what kind of smell is this?" ”

Wang Sheng's nose twitched hard, frowned, fixed his eyes on identification, and finally got something: "I smell a fox smell." ”

Zhang Shaofei nodded: "Well, it's indeed the smell of foxes." ”

Zhang Gan: "Ordinary foxes don't have such great energy. In my opinion, it must be the fox spirit who is haunting this scorched mountain. ”

Wang Sheng: "Brother Zhang is right. The vixens have always been known for their cunning, and it looks like we've got an opponent. ”

Zhang Shaofei said indignantly: "We can't let it do anything wrong and harm the people. ”

Wang Sheng: "Okay, let's go separately to search for it, subdue it, and benefit one party." ”

They split up and searched on the scorched mountain.

Zhang Shaofei's analysis is correct. Relying on the geographical advantage of being located on the coast of the West Sea, it was also a green mountain and green water in the past. But half a year ago, a nine-tailed fox spirit who had cultivated for 9,000 years came out of nowhere, in addition to its own unpleasant fox smell, when it didn't go well, its mouth also spewed flames, burning the mountains and trees, making the originally lush mountains and forests and rich land here become scorched and dry land.

The lives of the surrounding people have been severely affected, and hunters have organized teams to find ways to hunt her down. However, many times of encirclement and trapping not only could not damage half of the nine-tailed fox spirit's hair, but also caused several hunters to be injured by its poisonous gas and fire. If it weren't for the desperate rescue of their companions, those wounded would have been burned to charcoal sooner or later.

Zhang Gan held his sword and walked north along the mountain path. When he searched a deep ravine, a yellow whirlwind suddenly blew, and the sand and gravel raised went straight to the face.

Zhang Gan hurriedly raised his left hand and rested it under his forehead as a canopy, so the wind and sand did not blow into his eyes.

After the whirlwind, Zhang Gan heard the sound of "," from the side of the boulder, and stepped forward to search for it with his sword, and suddenly a white wind with a gang wind rose from behind the boulder and rushed towards his face.

Zhang Gan instinctively flashed his head to the side, and the white line swept past him. It turned out that it was a sharp sword that grazed through the root of his ear.

Zhang Gan jumped back a few steps, and then looked at it: standing not far in front of him, he saw a slim girl, with melon seeds on her face, peach cheeks red, moth eyebrows, apricot eyes, and a gorgeous red flower on her temples, which looked extremely charming, wearing a red belly pocket with gold edges, outlining Chu Chuliu's waist with exquisite curves, and her lower body was lotus lotus-colored leggings, and she stepped on gold thread purple embroidered shoes. The woman was holding a carved sword, and the halberd was pointed at him.

Before Zhang Gan could speak, the girl who carried out a surprise attack on him had already frowned and said, "Who are you sacred, and you came to the mountains to disturb my peace?" ”

Zhang Gan looked up to the sky and smiled, and said, "Do you want to report the name of this messenger?" ”

The girl's face was gloomy: "Prodigal maniac, gossip and don't mention, quickly report the dog's name." ”

Zhang Gan patted his chest and replied arrogantly: "Uncle, I won't change my surname, and I won't change my name." Beware of me coming by name, and scare you out. ”

The girl looked contemptuous: "Miss Ben has been scared since she was a child, and she has seen all kinds of scenes, but now what am I afraid of you?" ”

Zhang Gan proudly said: "I am Zhang Gan, the famous martial artist and tolerance of the Jiaoshan Yamen. ”

"Zhang Gan?!" The girl's face shook, and she settled down again, "Hmph, I thought it was some kind of divine master, it turned out to be a messenger who relied on mixing rice in the yamen." ”

Zhang Gan said angrily: "What's wrong with being called for?!" You're—"

"I'm your life-seeking lady!" The girl didn't wait for Zhang Gan to finish speaking, she had already grabbed the conversation, stepped on the ground with her feet, moved lightly in lotus steps, pointed at the sword in her hand, and came to a "jade girl throwing shuttle", a cold sword, pointing directly at Zhang Gan's throat.

Zhang Gan saw that the other party was coming to provoke ferocity, so he hurriedly put the sword in his hand upright, and then flicked it horizontally, and used the "Iron Lock Hengjiang" move to resolve the fierce move.

The two swords collided, and the sound of "dang" was deafening, and sparks bloomed.

Zhang Gan raised his sword and pointed at the other party, and said contemptuously: "If you don't admit it, I also know what kind of goblin you are." ”

The girl's face sank: "Do you know what I am?" ”

Zhang Gan: "You're just a vixen from a mountain." ”

"Whew!" The girl saw that Zhang Gan had pierced her true face of Lushan, she was annoyed and angry, her apricot eyes glared, she couldn't make a move just now, and then she made another move, the sword drew a few circles on the chest, and the blooming sword flower covered her body, making Zhang Gan, who was standing opposite him, dizzy.

She looked at it, kicked the lotus foot, dragged her body through the air, and when she jumped high and landed, she raised her sword to "split Huashan alone", and slashed at Zhang Gan's Tianling Gai. This move is poisonous enough, if he is hit, Zhang Gan will be split into two sides from the top of his head to his body.

Zhang Gan is worthy of being a bold person, and he looks down on this weak female stream in his heart, so he does not jump to dodge, but instead holds the sword in his right hand up, and goes up, with a move "Qilin Xianrui", the sword that the girl slashed off the head is swinging away.

Although the girl's sword was blocked, but along the downward trend, with a twist of the wrist, the sword turned sharply, and a "slanting wind into the forest" slashed Zhang Gan's neck obliquely, wanting to cut off Zhang Gan's head.

Zhang Gan had already taken precautions, the sword in his hand was erected, and then he wiped it horizontally, and the sound of "dang" started again, deafening, and a few blue sparks flew in front of him.

was attacked by three fierce moves one after another, Zhang Gan became angry this time, and scolded: "Bah, I didn't harass you when I came to this mountain. I didn't expect you to do this to me for no reason at such a young age. If I don't kill you today, I won't be surnamed Zhang?! With that, he paced forward, and the sword swept out a cold light, and attacked the girl.
