Outside the city, ten miles long pavilion.

In a simple tea shop, a lame old Taoist and a small Taoist sat in the tea shop, because they were shy in their pockets, they asked for two bowls of bitter tea, and they didn't even dare to ask for a refreshment.

The lame old Taoist is naturally a Zhengxuan Dao person, seeing that the city of Prajna is in front of him, once he enters the city, there is no turning back.

Lao Dao finished drinking a bowl of tea and shouted, "Little Er, refill the water." ”

The shopkeeper couldn't help but glance at these two poor and sour Taoist priests who came out of nowhere, there are also goblins who cultivate the Tao in the demon clan, but most of the Taoist priests who know the Tao are mixed well, after all, after the cultural enlightenment of the white hair, the customs and habits of the demon clan are many similar to those of the human race, and the Taoist priests are indispensable for red and white ceremonies, and the Taoist priests with a little ability have earned a lot of money.

After all, the competition in the demon world Taoist industry is not as fierce as that of the human race, Zhengxuan Daoist and Lotte Xiaodao avoided the big city of the demon clan along the way, and walked along the path to the outside of the city of Praruo, and even took a few red and white rituals in the remote village of the demon clan and earned some money, otherwise where would they be entangled and walked to the city of Praruo.

After months of sleeping in the open air, Lotte's character became more and more resolute, and he cut down a hundred-year-old peach tree in the demon forest, and made a peach wood sword himself.

The shopkeeper carried a pot of boiling water, glanced at the poor master and apprentice contemptuously, and with a flick of his wrist, he added tea to the bowl of the Zhengxuan Daoist, and then turned around and left.

Lotte Xiaodao has received too many cold eyes along the way, and he has long been accustomed to it, bowing his head and drinking the bitter tea with few tea leaves.

Zhengxuan Lao Dao said earnestly: "Lotte, there is really no turning back, there is no turning back after entering Prajna City." ”

Lotte said firmly: "I have made up my mind." ”

"Actually, our hometown neighbor's Xiaocui is also good, the master went to find a matchmaker to help you talk about matchmaking, although Xiaocui is not so slender, but she has great strength, she is a good girl who can raise and run a family, and it is better to be your daughter-in-law. ”

"Don't mention that fat girl anymore, I won't marry her even if I fight a bachelor for the rest of my life. ”

Zhengxuan Taoist sighed, Prajna City is close at hand, once you enter Prajna City, there is no way back, the rules of Pranya City, you don't need to pay money and things to enter the city, but you have to sacrifice a wisp of soul, in Prajna City, silver money is useless, all kinds of transactions must be paid by the soul, in other words, the soul is the currency of Pranya City.

Once the soul is exhausted, it becomes a puppet of the walking dead, controlled by the white-haired Demon Sect.

Lotte will also be scared in his heart, but he has already walked tens of thousands of miles: the road, even the straw sandals have broken countless pairs, and the city of Pranya is close at hand, and he has no reason to give up.

Lotte looked at the picture of the sky in the master's arms, and prayed to the Taoist ancestor that he would bless himself to find the treasure and return home safely.

Suddenly, a man with a saber dressed in black and half-covering his face walked into the tea shop and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Er, come to a pot of good wine and cut two catties of beef." ”

Xiao Er immediately leaned down, took off the rag from his shoulder to help the black-clothed swordsman wipe the table clean, beckoned the black-clothed swordsman to sit down, and said respectfully: "Okay, guest officer, please take a seat first." ”

The black-clothed swordsman glanced at the two shabby Taoist priests in ragged clothes, beckoned, and Xiao Er came to the black-clothed swordsman in an instant, bowed his head and bent over, lowered his eyebrows and followed the instructions of the black-clothed swordsman.

Xiao Er was startled at first, but nodded silently and left, and after a while, Xiao Er gave the lame old man a table with a pot of wine and a plate of beef.

Zhengxuan Daoist hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Little Er, we didn't want wine and meat." ”

Xiao Er's attitude was a little respectful, for fear that these two poor Taoist priests would know the black-clothed swordsman, "That hero invited you." ”

Zhengxuan Daoist looked at the black-clothed swordsman who was half-covered, stared at it for a long time, and suddenly realized that the saber on his waist was a little familiar, and he got up and hugged his fists and said, "Master Xu, I didn't expect us to meet again." ”

The black-clothed swordsman was naturally Xu Tianran, and he returned the salute with a smile and said, "I didn't expect you to come to Panruo City too." ”

Le Tian subconsciously looked around, as if looking for something, only to see another woman in black clothes and hats come to the small tea shop, the woman did not speak, Xiao Er couldn't help but take a few steps back, this woman is too heavy, daunting.

She's not Lolo.

Xu Tianran beckoned, and the woman in black and hat sat down, poured a big bowl of wine with a big grin, gently lifted the hat, and drank it all.

Lotte saw the woman's true face through a gap in the hat, although he didn't see it very really, but he could be sure that she was definitely a great beauty.

Lotte is a little envious, the surname Xu is not a flower saint, why is there never a shortage of beauties around him, is it because his realm is higher, and women all throw their arms to him?

It's just that, take a look at it again, the surname Xu is also cautious and walking on thin ice in front of the woman in the hat, is he the daughter-in-law surnamed Xu, I heard that the surname Xu is afraid of guilt, and there is such a fierce daughter-in-law who is not afraid and can't do it.

Suddenly, the woman in black flicked her wrist slightly, and a chopstick flashed and stuck to the pillar next to Lotte, only half a millimeter away from Lotte's eyeballs.

Zhengxuan is an understanding person, and immediately reprimanded Lotte: "It's okay, don't mess around with your eyes, think about it in your heart, and don't hurry up to apologize to the girl." ”

Xu Tianran complained: "Miss Mu, stop your anger, they are my friends." ”

Mu Leng said coldly: "If it weren't for that, they would already be two corpses." ”

Xu Tianran reluctantly picked up the wine bowl and apologized to Zhengxuan and Lotte: "I apologize for Miss Mu and the two, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

Zhengxuan picked up the wine bowl and bowed slightly, "Where is it, it's the apprentice who broke the rules first, and he can't control his eyes, even if he is really asked by the girl to have an eyeball, he deserves it." ”

When Lotte heard this, he was displeased, muttered, and tasted his bitter tea.

After Xu Tianran talked to Purgatory, Purgatory went to Wutong City alone, and Xu Tianran and Mu Lengqing went to Panruo City first to inquire about the news, and agreed with Wu Qingfeng and Qianbai, who were still in the Rabbit Spirit Tribe, to meet when the Terran army arrived in Panruo City.

At this time, Long Tianxing's army was defeated, and the Terran army pursued after crossing Yishui, because Mei Lan's poppy had five large array divisions captured by the human race, and he was no longer willing to send the remaining five large array divisions to the battlefield, so he led the nine-tailed fox clan to retreat first, leaving Long Tianxing angry.

Obeying Wuying's dispatch to attack Zhumu Pass, not to mention the loss of troops, he didn't expect to be abandoned by Wuying at the moment, and only a military order was left, and he retreated to Panruo City.

Long Tianxing dismissed his wounded soldiers, leaving only 100,000 elite demon clan troops to go to Praruo City, he began to doubt his decision, whether it was right or wrong to throw himself into the arms of the shadowless?

The 200,000 army of the human race entered the hinterland of the demon race, in order to solve the problem of logistics and supply, they fought to raise the war, and on the bank of the Yishui River, they captured the camp of Long Tianxing, and harvested countless materials, which was enough to support them to fight in the demon world for half a year.

However, the biggest problem is how to carry these grains and grasses, there is no strong body of the demon clan, and among the human cavalry, the Liang and Jin cavalry are all elites with one horse and three horses.

Although the armor of the Kunlun cavalry is not as good as that of the Liang and Jin iron cavalry, there are many horses, and it is extremely common to ride four or five war horses at a time.

After thinking about it, Nangong Feiyu, who had become the commander of the coalition army, decided to let Wu Yue and the armies of the Southern Tang Dynasty carry grain and grass, after all, under the Zhumu Pass, these troops had no achievements, especially Li Yu, the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was the first to flee for his life, causing the Southern Tang army to be leaderless and retreat before fighting.

Nangong Faun almost beheaded the main general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and finally decided to let the Southern Tang army go out to fight with the guilt, which was a shame.

As soon as Nangong Feiyu's military order came out, the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty complained, they were also elite soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, how did they do the work of the people, Li Yu was powerless to suppress the riot in the army.

That night, Nangong Feiyu personally led the monks of the torture hall into the Southern Tang military camp, and killed hundreds of Southern Tang rebel soldiers in a row to stabilize the Southern Tang military camp.

At this point, the Terran army with Dugu Xin, Zhu Mengming, Chen Jingtang and Lu Dongzan as the main force started out, and the army went straight to the city of Panruo.

Once Long Tianxing retreats to the city of Pranya and the army of the human race arrives at the city of Pranya, the Phoenix clan will also send troops to the demon capital, and at that time, the demon capital will gather the strongest forces in the demon world.

After Xu Tianran and Qianbai discussed, they decided to go to Praruo City alone to explore the secret road to Cangshan, but they didn't expect Mu Lengqing to go together, this crazy woman wants to go, who dares to say a word.

The lame old man happily drank all the wine in the bowl, and Xu Tianran toasted a glass.

Xu Tianran does not look down on him with the lowly realm of the old way, whether he raises a glass or greets, he is all holding the junior ceremony, which makes the lame old man like this young talent very much.

However, Lao Dao subconsciously touched the picture of the cangzhi on his chest, didn't he come to it, and then thought about it, he was just a poor old man, that is, he died on the side of the road, and I am afraid that no one has any intention of looting his money.

Lao Dao relaxed, looked at the unsuccessful apprentice whose thoughts flew to the clouds, he was angry, stepped on him, and said sternly: "I don't respect Xu Gongzi for a drink." ”

In Lotte's eyes, the surname Xu is his rival, Luo Luo looked at the surname Xu with the wrong eyes, why did he toast with him, the feet of the old Taoist became heavier and heavier, Lotte was reluctant to raise the tea bowl, "Under the poor little Taoist priest, he can't afford to eat wine, so he toasts Xu Gongzi with tea instead of wine, thank Xu Gongzi for not hurting his kindness." ”

Xu Tianran naturally heard the resentment in Lotte's words, and after a little peeping, he found Lotte's inner thoughts, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "Xiaodao Chief, it's good to be young." ”

Lotte was confused, and suddenly realized that the surname Xu noticed his mind, and in an instant, his cheeks were red.

Xu Tianran picked up the wine bowl and beef, moved over and drank with the Zhengxuan Taoist people, the figure of the woman in the hat flashed, and she sat opposite Lotte, Mu Lengqing's strong breath made Lotte feel pressured, and felt that the tea was not fragrant, although this bitter tea was not fragrant at all.

Xu Tianran asked softly, "Dao Chief, why did you come to Praruo City?"

Zhengxuan picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, to tell the truth, the beef in the demon world is much better than the beef in the world, Zhengxuan didn't have time to taste it carefully, and he was worried that the attempt of the master and apprentice would be seen through by the surnamed Xu, so he said softly: "Come to Panruocheng to try your luck and see if you can make a small fortune, so that you can go back to your hometown and marry a daughter-in-law for Xiao Letian." ”

Lotte exploded when he heard it, "I won't marry Xiaocui." ”

Zhengxuan was a little annoyed, "You don't pee and take care of your appearance, it's impossible to say whether people Xiaocui can take a fancy to you, and you have to pick and choose." ”

Lotte's eyes were slightly red, and he said aggrievedly: "I won't marry a daughter-in-law anymore, okay, I will be a bachelor for life like you." ”

This sentence choked the lame old way, one day as a teacher and a father for life, he was poor all his life and failed to marry a daughter-in-law, how could he let the apprentice follow in his footsteps, the old man thought that his biggest wish in this life is to wait for Xiao Lotte to marry a daughter-in-law and give birth to a child, and he can also enjoy the happiness of a full house of apprentices and grandchildren.

Speaking of sadness, Zhengxuan Dao people are also a little sentimental and drink alone.

Seeing this, Xu Tianran didn't know how to comfort Lao Dao, but just shouted to Xiao Er to serve another jar of wine.

Mu Lengqing's drinking spirit is not inferior to that of a man at all, Xu Tianran really feels that it is a pity that Mu Lengqing is born as a woman, if it is a man, he is really a strange man who can attract the admiration of countless fairies in the rivers and lakes.

However, as soon as Xu Tianran said this, Mu Lengqing cut it down with a kitchen knife, if it weren't for Xu Tianran's quick hands and feet and dodging over, I am afraid that he would have lost an arm at this time.

At that time, Mu Leng coldly dropped a sentence, "What if it's a woman?"

Xu Tianran realized that Mu Lengqing was right, because his own pattern was small, that is, his daughter couldn't be handsome, perhaps, in the near future, the most admired by women in the rivers and lakes was not the great master of martial arts, but the strange woman Mu Lengqing.

Chic and cold, it may become a man's nightmare, but it will become the envy of the sword immortals in the hearts of the women in the rivers and lakes.

After drinking a few pots of wine, Lao Dao was a little drunk, and began to pull Xu Tianran to talk homely, and his words were full of little things from Lotte from childhood to adulthood, and some small things that even Lotte had forgotten came from Lao Dao's mouth one by one.

Xu Tianran was not in a hurry, so he sat quietly and listened, saying that Lotte couldn't hold back anymore, knelt under Lao Dao's knees and cried bitterly, and said to Lao Dao, "Master, I was wrong, I'm sorry." ”

Lao Dao thought of the smoke and rain in Jiangnan, and said with a smile: "Master Xu, if our master and apprentice can return to Jiangnan alive this time, we will definitely invite you to drink the best wine in Jiangnan." ”

Xu Tianran smiled and nodded.

Mu Lengqing didn't know why Xu Tianran had to spend time grinding and chirping with the two Taoist priests with a low realm, but Xu Tianran promised to build two swords for Mu Lengqing, so he didn't urge him, anyway, he had already made three chapters of the law before leaving, Mu Lengqing had to listen to Xu Tianran's orders to kill, she didn't need to spend her brain thinking about too many messy things, anyway, when it was time to shoot, she just took out a kitchen knife and slashed it indiscriminately.

Xu Tianran felt a little guilty in his heart, and peeked into the secret of Cangzhitu from Lotte's heart, since the old Tao has Cangzhitu by his side, he can find the way to Cangshan, however, to Xu Tianran's surprise, he can't see through the heart of the old Tao.

This lame veteran may not be as simple as it seems.

After all, after crossing thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in Zhumu, he was able to reach Praruo City safely, and if he was an ordinary monk of the Sanpin Realm, he would have already buried the Bone Demon Realm and become a cup of loess in the deep mountains and old forests of the Hengduan Mountain Range.

Xu Tianran's respect for the old way has always been there, but the defense against the old way is only available from the moment.

The cloudy eyes of the old way have been full of vicissitudes, and Lotte's simple state of mind is clear in Xu Tianran's eyes.

Xu Tianran said softly: "Dao Chief, since we are all going to Praruo City, it is better to go together." ”

Lao Dao gladly agreed.

After settling the wine money, a group of four people went straight into Prajna City, and sure enough, before entering the city, a wisp of soul of the four of them was taken away by the puppet guards guarding the city, and Lotte had a trace of panic in his heart, his soul was fragile, wouldn't he become a soulless puppet after a few more draws?

As soon as you enter the city, there is a strange color everywhere, and Lotte looks more and more frightened, most of the people walking in the city have empty eyes, like puppets that have lost their souls, but all kinds of objects in the city seem to have souls, full of life.

Xu Tianran went to the blacksmith shop first, the blacksmith was a burly bear demon, but at this time, he couldn't see the fluctuation of the soul on the bear demon's body, and he completely became a puppet, but the swords in the blacksmith shop all spoke one after another, and a sledgehammer actually gave birth to eyes, nose, mouth and tongue and said: "Welcome, what do you want to buy from the guest officer?"

Lotte was so frightened that he hid behind Lao Dao, and he didn't dare to poke out to look at the empty eyes of the bear demon blacksmith.

Xu Tianran stretched out his hand and grabbed the jumping swords one by one, carefully checking the rank of the swords.

Suddenly, a ring-headed knife with hands and feet came with tea and served the distinguished guests.

Where has Lotte seen such a strange picture, stunned on the spot.

Xu Tianran took the tea and said calmly: "Thank you." ”

Mu Lengqing looked around, it didn't seem to be a suitable sword for him, Mu Lengqing made a backhand sword, the blade should not be too long, most of the swords in the store were long swords and long knives, Mu Lengqing turned around and left.

Xu Tianran took a fancy to a short knife and asked, "Brother Hammer, how can this short knife be sold?"

Hammer's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "The guest officer has good eyesight, this is the treasure of our town store, and it is worth three souls." ”

"Three souls?" Lotte exclaimed.

"It seems that the guest officer is a newcomer to the city, he doesn't know the rules of Prajna City, all transactions in Prajna City are paid for by souls, there are ten pieces of ordinary people's souls in the world, and one piece is handed over as soon as he enters the city, and you still have nine pieces left. ”

Xu Tianran gently rubbed the short knife and asked, "Everyone's soul is ten pieces?"

The hammer said: "That's not true, I'm talking about the ordinary situation, if it is a monk with a strong divine sense, there can be more than a hundred pieces, and there have also been Flying Ascension Realm Terran monks who stayed in Prajna City at night, spending a lot of money, and consuming hundreds of souls in one night, but the result is the same as no one." ”

"What happens if I run out of souls?"

The hammer pointed at the puppet bear demon, and everyone knew it.

Xu Tianran asked again: "There must be a soul earning business in the city?"

"Naturally, there is, and our store also sells spiritual weapons that store souls, a five-piece soul, do you want it?"

Xu Tianran touched his head and flatly refused, "No need." ”

Xu Tianran only felt a little pain in the braincase, was there any sequelae after being cut off a piece of his soul, and after thinking about it, he was curious, how many pieces of his soul were there?

Hammer danced happily and let out an eerie laugh, "You'll come back and buy it, wahahahahahaha......"

Xu Tianran glanced at the lifeless and vibrant Panruo City, and had a plan in his heart, leading everyone straight to the most lively gold cave in Praruo City.
