The gray clouds obscured the half of the bright moon, the stars in the sky gradually disappeared into the night sky, and in the foothills of the green and dark mountains, two paper lanterns swayed, and the light shone on the figures of the two people walking through the remote and barren mountain village.

Wangwangwws—

There are not many huts in the courtyard, and occasionally you can hear the yellow dog barking a few times in the courtyard.

The two people carrying the lantern did not enter the village, and continued to walk through the mountains and forests in front of them, and their steps seemed to be slow and slow, and they had entered the forest in a blink of an eye, and the light sound of the dead branches breaking off startled the crows on the branches 'wow' and flew away from the treetops, frightening one of the slightly shorter figures to stop.

"Master, why don't we go in the village? ”

"When they are all asleep, how can they disturb other people's dreams, people in the Tao, they can't bear this bit of suffering, what kind of Tao do they cultivate. ”

"So where are we going to sleep tonight? ”

The two people illuminated by the dim yellow fire through the paper lantern were an old man and a young man, holding a Taoist bun and wearing an old Taoist robe, especially the little Taoist robe, there were a few patches on the robe, and some places were washed white.

On the side, the old Taoist priest, who was also walking with a lantern, looked around, found a place at random, pulled out a long sword behind his back and inserted it into the ground, and the wine gourd on his waist also hung the hilt of the sword, lay down at will, and set up his legs to prepare for sleep.

"The sky is the quilt, the earth is the seat, you can sleep happily wherever you go, good boy, go to sleep quickly, and you will ..... tomorrow morning"

The old Taoist priest's words stopped suddenly, and the apprentice over there was only eleven or twelve years old, so he reluctantly sat down slowly, and said: "I know that I know that I am talking about some ghosts that fool people...."

"Don't make a sound, there's a demon!"

The old Taoist priest who covered his apprentice's mouth lowered his voice and said, and with the flip of his other hand, a few yellow runes hit the body of the tree a few steps away from him with his movements, and the vermilion rune mana flashed quietly, and a circle was faintly formed in the air that could not be seen by the naked eye.

"Master, what's going on? Where are the monsters?"

The apprentice who was loosened by the old way squatted aside, his eyes were looking around, and he was about to stand up, but he was pressed back by the master on his head, and the next moment, he heard the sound of the woods outside the enchantment, like the sound of the wind flapping wings flying from the side not far away, and fell to the ground.

"Take a break here and then continue on your way. ”

When the master and apprentice who were hiding in the grass heard this, it was not like there was only one demon, so that the old man did not dare to do it easily, and sure enough, another sharp voice sounded in a moment.

“..... Will we be able to make it to the event this time? What are we going to do?"

The moonlight cast on the forest gap, and a winged monster could be vaguely seen talking to another monster, and seeing the other party's spread bat wings, the little Taoist priest's face turned pale with fright, and the master on the side, when he heard the word 'grand meeting', frowned, leaned forward slightly, and wanted to hear more clearly.

On that side, it looked like a monster with bat wings and laughed hoarsely.

"How can't it, this time the northwest group of demons gathered, let's rush to naturally join in the fun, I heard that the Purple Star Demon Dao repaired his injuries and returned to the northwest from the mountains and rivers, and it is almost to Chang'an at this moment......"

The words in the back gradually became smaller, but the four words 'Purple Star Demon Dao' made the eyelids of the old Taoist priest who eavesdropped jump, and when the two demons said a few more words over there, they hurried away, and disappeared with the demon wind, and the Taoist priest got up and waved his hand to collect the magic circle of hidden breath under the cloth.

"Purple Star Demon Dao ....."

Muttering the name, he picked up the apprentice and dragged him back, the little Taoist priest turned around and picked up the lantern, followed behind with a small bag and asked, "Master, what's wrong?" Who are the Purple Star Demon Dao that those two monsters are talking about?"

After asking two sentences in a row, the old Taoist priest did not answer, by the moonlight, his steps were fast, all the way down to the foot of the mountain, beside a big stone, he took out a few yellow talismans from his waist and spread them out, bit his fingertips and wrote and painted on them, and then in the eyes of his apprentices, he folded into a paper crane.

"Go!"

With a spread of the palm, the still paper crane seemed to come to life, and the wings made of paper slowly flapped, flew away from the palm of the old way, rose into the night sky, and turned into a streamer of mana towards the east that was gradually turning white.

The morning light breaks through the cloud gap and pushes away the darkness, illuminates a certain cloud-shrouded mountain in the north, the birds cross the surging sea of clouds, and fall on the old trees of the winding mountain road, blinking the bird's eyes and looking at a bluestone boulder protruding from the forest in the distance, the old man with white hair sits with his eyes closed, and the stone steps winding up behind him, and the towering mountain gate is high above a piece of tree cage, and the word Chengyun is written.

The clouds are overflowing, spreading past the stone steps is an open platform, the floor tiles are white and black, building a huge yin and yang, there are several buildings nearby, the golden morning sun is pushed over, sprinkled to the mountain wall, there is a huge handwriting carving, and the word 'Dao' is painted by the red lacquer of unknown material.

In the sunshine, it looks magnificent and solemn.

On both sides, there are dense hollows, not connected to each other, sometimes you can see smoke floating out, and you can also see figures meditating cross-legged, meditating and enlightening.

In the distance of the skylight, there is mana circulation, someone in the mountain gate below raised his head, his robe fluttered, spread his palm, let the paper crane that circulated mana descend, a moment, in the hand of the person turned into a yellow talisman, two lines of handwriting on it, take a look, hurriedly walked to the main building, arched his hand towards the guard's senior brothers, stepped inside, and called respectfully.

"Teach. ”

In front of the portrait of the person in front, incense lingers, and the old man with gray hair cleans the incense burner and salutes the patriarch.

"Master Zu is panicked in front of him, what kind of system has he become. The old man shifted the position of the small stove, turned around and wiped the ashes from his hands, and then spoke, "What's the matter?"

"Outer Sect People, the Law of the Flying Crane has been transmitted, and the Purple Star Demon Dao has appeared. ”

The old man who had just sat down stopped his movements with the tea, and even the doorman who was guarding the door heard this sentence and squinted his gaze to look inside.

Purple Star Demon Road....

Bang!

The old man closed his eyes, and after a while, he got up and walked straight past the doorman who reported the news, walked out of the door, and looked at the huge word 'Dao' on the mountain wall with both hands behind his back.

"The troubled times have just been settled, and the demons are rampant again, my generation has killed the demons and eliminated the demons, and has never enjoyed peace, where is the clouds!"

On the mountain wall in the distance, many voices came from the cave, mingling.

"I'm here!"

The old man waved his wide sleeves, and a magic sword in the middle of the building flew out and hung on his back, and his voice shouted:

"Slay the demons with me—"

The sound of the law is majestic, resounding through the mountain gate, and the dense hollow instantly lights up with a ray of law light, flying out from the inside, like a meteor.

.......

The light that crossed the morning sun shot into the sky, and the information centered on it also flew towards the rest of the cultivator mountain gates at the same time, and the news of the reappearance of the Purple Star Demon Dao, which had been chaotic back then, was like a boiling oil pot pouring a scoop of clear water and boiling.

In the southeast of the Lihuo Gate, one by one figures came out of the crowd, following several elders in the gate to quickly descend the mountain, and the central state, the hidden spirit mansion in the world was also responding to the call of the people in the same way and rushed to Chang'an.

The news of the reappearance of the once notorious toad demon circulated among the cultivators, and those who knew and those who did not know were spreading the word, or rushing to help, walking in pairs and threes, and in the foothills passing by, the burly figure with a wooden box and a beard lying on the rocks comfortably basking in the sun was also invited.

"What the hell is that demon, letting so many people from the same path go?"

"Brother Tai doesn't know? That Purple Star Demon Dao, back then, he was a disaster party, slaughtering the people of a town, and then he ate countless people in the cultivators, and several major sects took a lot of effort to injure him, and now he came out again, so he naturally wanted to go over to help one or two, and subdue demons and eliminate demons!"

"Is that a demon?"

"I've heard that it looks like a toad. ”

The bearded man who walked with them stopped and frowned even more.

"Toad..... I remember that Lu Daoyou also has one by his side, could it be ....."

A few people on the same road stopped and looked back at him: "This fellow Daoist, what's the matter?

"Nothing. ”

That man was Yan Chixia, who was acting alone and righteous, he shook his head: "It's okay, I just like to be alone, this place is not far from Chang'an, I'll just go alone." Farewell, several!"

After saying goodbye to these cultivators, Yan Chixia turned in a direction to bypass their route, and naturally needed to find Lu Liangsheng to solve the doubts in her heart.

I hope it's not the toad next to Lu Daoyou.....

The pace gradually accelerated, passing through the mottled ground falling from the forest to Chang'an.

The sunlight spreads through the clouds, far away from the boundary of the former Northern Qi Dynasty, like the Buddha lying in the mountains, and the morning bell rings for a long time.

Knock~~Knock~~~

The sound of the bell is rich and simple, echoing in the mountains, and the pilgrims and tourists immersed in the sound of the bells and the sound of the fire come and go to the mountain road paved with bluestone slabs in the mountains, and watch, or worship the countless Buddha statues on the cliffs.

In the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, the monk Fajing, who was like Maitreya, guarded the closed door, and at a certain moment, the Zen door opened, he opened his eyes and got up and turned back, and an old monk with a thin body and a pale beard slowly walked out.

"Division..... Father![ ]" Fa Jing folded his palms and bowed.

"Fajing!" The old monk named Zhenhai erected a large and fearless Dharma seal on his chest, and with the other hand, he took the purple gold bowl in front of the Buddha statue and held it in his palm.

"Come with me out of the temple. ”

"Yes!"

The fat monk tilted his head, inexplicably followed the master away, and then went down the mountain, but he hadn't come out for a long time, and Fa Jing felt a little comfortable in his heart, I didn't know that Lu Shizhu was still traveling, if he did, it would be good to talk to him all night.

....... Well, there's also Sun Daochang.

Thinking of the wonderful, the corners of his fat mouth snickered, and he quickly covered it up again, followed the master, and went all the way to the west.

.......

At the same time, the West Gate of Chang'an, bustling with people, shouting loudly and soliciting customers, Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey with Zhu Gangguan all the way through the bustling long street, Min Mansion didn't dare to live, found an inn at random, washed up, changed his body, went to Lishan clean and refreshing, and visited the old mother of Lishan, so as not to feel defeated.

In the rickety bookshelf, the short figure's eyelids jumped.

"Liangsheng, hurry up and return to Qixia Mountain after finishing your work, the eyelids of the teacher have been jumping a little hard recently, and I always feel that someone is worried about being the teacher. ”

The toad Taoist was wrapped in bandages all over his body, and his head was also wrapped around with a bow, and he held his chin and looked at the verdant summer foothills outside.

There was a bad feeling in my heart.

...... After coming out, I was injured all over my body, and if I didn't go back, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to repair the demon pill.

Wail~
