"Hmph!" The petite girl beside Su Tianqi snorted heavily, looking at the young man with hatred, disdain, and a hint of inexplicable complexity.

Su Tianqi's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Cultivation for swordsmanship is not mentioned for the time being, just this heroic courage who dares to go straight alone with a single sword is worthy of the word "sword cultivation"! ”

The girl snorted again when she heard this, and then turned her head away, looking out of sight. The black-clothed young man on the side tightened the black blade in his hand, and his eyes were cold.

"Hmph, such a swagger, sooner or later you will die elsewhere!" said a sturdy man in a gold-silk white robe not far away.

......

"I haven't seen you for twenty years, and Senior Brother Yuan's swordsmanship cultivation has improved to this point!" said the man in the green shirt with appreciation, "Speaking of which, this Senior Brother Yuan not only went up the mountain at the same time as you, but also won the first place in the competition." ”

The young man in purple on the left hand side of the man snorted and said, "Senior Brother Jiang, don't raise the anger of others to destroy your own prestige, I, Huang Shuo, am no longer Wuxia Ameng!

"Most of them were slashed by one of their swords. Zhao Yimu shook the folding fan and said quietly, and the woman next to him looked at Huang Shuo with a playful expression, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Huang Shuo was speechless for a while, Jiang Shangzhen patted him lightly on the shoulder and smiled slightly.

......

Han Dongxing laughed: "This kid is good, no wonder our Xiaorui is devoted to him." ”

Han Hongrui's face turned red, the fire in his hand was faint, and he feigned anger and said, "Big brother, you talk nonsense!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say it, if you have something to say, don't do it. ”

......

As soon as Yuan Qing came back, Wang Qing greeted him, and then slapped it with his big hand, and said with a smile: "Senior brother is so majestic, he should be a big white man!

The corners of Yuan Qing's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled helplessly.

"It's also a certain Liu! I didn't know that my junior brother actually had such a handsome swordsmanship!" Liu Han echoed on the side.

"Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and the junior brother should not be too public. As the three of them were talking, Li Yang reminded with a solemn face

Yuan Qing smiled faintly when he heard this, and said slightly, "Thank you Senior Brother for reminding me." Then he turned his head to look at Zhu Ling'er. The latter stood quietly with a smile, like a clean jade lotus blooming on the dirty earth, and his eyes were as gentle as water.

Suddenly, two rays of light flew by in the sky, and then a thick male voice came: "Junior brothers, come to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss matters after cleaning up the battlefield." ”

When the cultivators heard this, they raised their magic weapons, stripped all kinds of demon beast materials, and then turned into various rainbow lights and went to the City Lord's Mansion.

In this battle, Yuan Qing killed more than ten demon beasts in the foundation period, and more than 20 demon beasts in the qi refining period, including three fourth-level demon beasts.

Originally, he was quite disdainful of this kind of killing, but thinking of the tens of thousands of [thousand] merits required to refine the natal sword weapon, he still frowned and cut off his heads one by one, and received a black storage bag as a proof.

Wang Qing was extremely excited to dismember the demon corpse, and his muscles, bones, flesh and blood were all sorted and put away, and he was very busy.

Zhu Linger did not start to loot the "loot", but instead popped out fireballs and cremated all the corpses.

When Yuan Qing and the others arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, they happened to bump into a middle-aged man wearing gold armor coming out of the palace. The man left the next sentence, "I have seen all the immortals" and left in a hurry.

There were already many people in the temple. Mei Xinyi and Bai Zhi stood quietly in front of the jade steps.

After another stick of incense, Mei Xinyi coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Although the beast tide has receded, the demon beast's vitality has not been injured, and it will make a comeback in the near future." I have informed the lord of the city and told him to be on strict guard, and you juniors and disciples should not take it lightly. In addition, there are three demon beasts in the Dan period that are missing, and I am afraid that there are other plans. You must not leave the city at will in the near future, so as not to be unexpected. ”

When everyone in the hall heard this, their hearts sank, their faces were solemn, and they replied in unison: "Follow the decree of the senior brother." ”

Seeing this, Mei Xinyi nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Okay, let's go down and rest." ”

Then they took their respectful resign, and each of them returned to his place of residence.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Wang Qing pulled the other four to drink wine and eat meat.

As soon as Liu Li and the others heard that there was wine and meat, they opened their mouths and responded.

Zhu Ling'er smiled slightly, politely declined, and went back to the house to retreat.

Yuan Qing was not interested in eating meat, but when he thought of the little red flame wine left in the gourd, he couldn't help but move in his heart, smiled slightly, and also responded.

The four of them came to an octagonal pavilion in the garden, and as soon as they sat down, they heard Wang Qing say: "A certain family just cut a zhang eight green cows, the meat of this kind of bull demon is the most delicious and firm, rich in vitality, and it is definitely a rare top grade." ”

As he spoke, he took out a large piece of bloody beef, flung it in the air with a flick, and then popped a fireball with his fingers. The fireball turned into several slender snakes and wrapped around it. After a while, the aroma of the meat is so strong that you can't help but appetize.

"Brother Wang is good at controlling fire with one hand, and it is worthy of being passed down by Elder Guo himself!" Li Yang couldn't help but praise when he saw the scene of turning fire into a snake.

Wang Qing extinguished the flames, laughed and replied: "A little bit of means, not enough to worry about teeth, come on, eat meat and eat meat!" After speaking, he took out a bright white knife, cut off a large piece and put it in his mouth, with a look of satisfaction.

Liu and Li smiled, and they were not polite, took off a piece, and chewed it heavily.

Yuan Qing stretched out his hand and scratched, cut a small piece and put it in his mouth, tasted it carefully, and then his eyes lit up, and he drew it again with his virtual hand, and the large piece was eaten.

Cultivators swallow the glow and are convinced, and do not eat the fireworks of the world, and the grains are still impurities, not to mention the flesh and blood of livestock. And the meat of this demon beast is tender and delicious, full of vitality, not only harmless, but also has the effect of nourishing qi and blood, which is really worthy of the name of treasure.

In the blink of an eye, a large piece of beef was eaten, Wang Qing was not satisfied, and was about to take another piece, but heard Yuan Qing say: "Drink wine and eat meat, how can you have meat without wine! Brother Wang, where is the red flame?"

"Haha, I know you're thinking about it!"

Waving his hand, he put out four jars of red flame wine, patted the mud, and said loudly: "Dry!" After speaking, he picked up the wine jar and poured it down.

Liu and Li also learned from Wang Qing and took a big sip of the jar.

Yuan Qing smiled slyly, waved his hand to put away the wine jar, took off the gourd, and took a leisurely sip.

Wang Qing put down the wine jar and saw this scene, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Yuan Qing, I didn't expect that your kid would also play this trick!"

Yuan Qing laughed back and said: "It's better for Brother Wang to take another altar out, Yuan will definitely accompany you to have fun!"

Li Yang was drunk and interjected: "At this time, I am drinking in a big bowl and eating meat, how can my junior brother make such a little daughter posture!"

Liu Han's face was ruddy, and he echoed: "There is only a jar of wine left and right, and then ask Brother Wang for it after drinking, and the junior brother will quickly take out the wine and dry it!"

Yuan Qing smiled slightly and didn't care, but instead said: "We and other sword immortals must have the demeanor of a sword immortal, how can we be like a secular martial artist!"

"Yuanda Sword Immortal take it!" Wang Qing smiled, the red light in his palm was faint, and he threw out a jar of red flame wine.

Yuan Qing's heart moved slightly, waved his hand and released a misty sword qi, gently dragged the wine jar, flicked open the mud with one finger, opened his mouth and sucked, and the wine was like a pillar, gurgling in.

"Hahaha, good wine!"

"Guys,!"

"Brother Wang, meat!"

......

Deep in the mountains and forests.

The three demons of the white tiger, the gray wolf, and the green ox prostrate on the ground, whimpering non-stop.

A man in green clothes in his thirties listened with his hands behind his back and an expressionless face, with a green-backed demon wolf lying beside him, with a tuft of white hair on his eyebrows. A snow-white raccoon cat nested on top of the green wolf's head, yawning and looking lazy.

After a while, the man opened his mouth and let out a few indescribable beast roars, and the three demons whimpered, let out a low roar, turned around and disappeared into the forest.

The man looked back at the kitten that was about to fall asleep and shook his head helplessly. With a wave of his hand, the blue light flashed, and the three disappeared in an instant.

Seven days later.

Yuan Qing was reading "Xuanyuan Tongjian" in the room, when he suddenly heard a low horn, hurriedly put away the book and left.

When they came to the city, they did not see the tide of beasts, but there were a succession of displaced people, ragged and skinny, gathered under the city, prostrating and wailing.

"Where did such a large group of refugees come from?" The figure flashed, and Zhu Ling'er appeared beside Yuan Qing, frowning slightly.

"I heard it's from the east. As soon as the fire fell, Wang Qing also fell on the city wall, opened the gourd, and poured a mouthful.

"To the east, where is that?" Li Yang and Liu Han landed on the city wall one after another, and the latter asked suspiciously.

Wang Qing spit out a mouthful of wine and said slowly: "Shangqing." ”

Li Yang continued: "It is said that they only sent more than ten disciples in the foundation building period to kill more than a hundred demon beasts, and that Yunhe Sword Immortal even killed two seventh-level demons with one sword. ”

Yuan Qing listened quietly on the side, his heart was agitated, and for no reason he had a sense of pride, and he wanted to go east with the sword.

It didn't take long for the city lord in golden armor to appear in the city tower, looked at the influx of homeless people, and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, strictly guard against it, and no one shall be allowed to come in." Then he went down the tower and returned to the tent.

The personal guard with him received the order and said yes, and then shouted loudly: "The city lord has an order, no one is allowed to come in, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

As soon as the words were uttered, wails arose, and the victims of the disaster knelt down under the city, crying and pleading, hoping that the city lord would have mercy.

Although the soldiers defending the city were unbearable, the military orders were like a mountain, and no one moved lightly.

In the middle of the night, seeing that the people in the city were indifferent, the victims rioted: some old men picked up stones and bones on the ground and threw them at the soldiers defending the city; some young men rushed to the city gate in a gang and tried to break in; some young women undressed and untied their clothes, exposed their breasts and lured them with their bodies; some old women cursed sharply and threatened each other with death; and some scholars and students got up indifferently and continued to move forward.

There was a dead silence above the city tower, both the soldiers and the monks were indifferent, and Yuan Qing's compassion was also gone in an instant, and his heart was cold.

After a long time, the victims dispersed one after another, their faces were cold and lifeless, like a group of walking corpses.

It was night, Yuan Qing flew above the city tower, bathed in the moon, took off the gourd, and drank on his head.

"When disaster comes, there is nothing wrong with survival. But it is really sad and ridiculous to grovel to the knees, wag their tails and beg for mercy, and vainly try to relieve themselves of the danger of life and death by borrowing the kindness of others! If etiquette is completely lost, morality is lost, how is it different from livestock? If it is true, human nature is inherently evil? In this case, what is the meaning of us fighting to defend humanity?"

"The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, that is, these more than 100 monks, or seeking experience, or merit, or spiritual materials, how many of them are to protect humanity?" A gentle female voice came, and Zhu Ling'er gently fell beside the young man.

Yuan Qing couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this, thinking that he was not dedicated to protecting the Dao. Driven by the Dao heart, it is one to seek access to thoughts, and it is two to kill demons to earn merit in exchange for heavenly and earthly treasures, which is no different from the unscrupulous efforts of the outcasts to seek survival. Cultivating the Tao and cultivating the Tao, the word "profit" that has not escaped in the end.

Thinking of this, Yuan Qing put down the wine bottle, sighed lightly, and laughed bitterly at himself.

Zhu Ling'er gently took the young man's hand, smiled softly, and his eyes were bright, better than moonlight.

Looking at the beautiful woman beside him and feeling the softness of his palm, the young man smiled, rose with his sword, and chased the moon.

"I just want to have a clear conscience, no matter how hot and cold the world is, the vicissitudes of the world!"
