To the north of Xuanyuan, thousands of miles away, the hills are winding and undulating like a long dragon, followed by a large dense forest, which is full of lush greenery and vitality as far as the eye can see.

There were two people hanging in the air, one was on a spirit boat, wearing a dark gold silk robe, with a grim face, and the other was stepping on a six-foot silver sword, wearing a plain robe, with a handsome face and a dusty temperament, it was Feng Xifeng and Yuan Qing.

The two left Xuanyuan, flew for a day and a night according to the map, and finally arrived near Hanjiabao at noon the next day.

At this time, Feng Xifeng's aura was slightly scattered, and Yuan Qing's aura was quite stable, but the aura around him was a little dim.

Feng Xifeng looked at the map, took the lead in urging the spirit boat, and landed on the edge of the dense forest, Yuan Qing's mind moved, and the imperial sword followed.

"It seems that this is Hanjiabao, Senior Brother Feng......" said and turned his head to look at Feng Xifeng.

Feng Xifeng just nodded, then turned his hand and took out a transmission note, and with a flick of his fingers, the talisman turned into a flash of fire, and a blur disappeared directly into the space in front of him.

After a while, the dense forest in front of him was blurred, revealing a mountain road built of bluestone behind it, and there were three people wearing blue robes waiting respectfully: the three of them were all practicing qi cultivation, the first one was nearly sixty years old, with white beard and hair, square face and wide nose, somewhat similar to Han Dongxing;

"I've seen two senior brothers Xuanyuan, in Xia Hanyu, these two are nephews," the old man bowed first, and then pointed to the young man behind him, and the two teenagers also bowed when they heard this.

Seeing that Yuan Qing and the two of them just returned the salute and did not answer, the old man continued: "The head of the family has already instructed, and I invite the two of you to come with me." After speaking, he turned sideways slightly and stretched out his hand.

Yuan Qing saw that Feng Xifeng was indifferent, so he had to take a step forward and arch his hand and said, "There is labor." ”

A group of people walked up the mountain road, at first there were dense forests on both sides, and gradually you could see scattered stone houses and tiled houses, and there were already villages in the middle of the mountainside, children playing and playing, women doing laundry and chattering, men carrying farm tools home, and old people lying on rocking chairs smoking dry tobacco.

Regardless of men, women, and children, they were all dressed in coarse linen clothes, and they had no aura at all, and when they saw Han Yu and his party on both sides of the road, their eyes were respectful, and a few bold children also looked at Yuan Qing and Feng Xifeng curiously.

Continue to go up through the mountainside, the population gradually decreases, and when you reach the peak, you suddenly see more than ten bluestone huts scattered and distributed, but it is empty inside, and there is no human figure.

Along the way, Feng Xifeng always looked like a living person should not enter, Yuan Qing chatted with Han Yu for a few words, and learned that the people living on the mountainside were all mortals in the clan, living a simple farming life, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

On it is the core disciple of the Han family, who has spiritual roots, and has the ability to practice, and is provided by the clansmen for food, clothing, shelter and transportation; as for the peak, it is the most abundant spiritual energy in this mountain, and the head of the family and the monks of the foundation building period of the clan live here.

Walk to the peak, enter the eye is the bluestone square of a hundred zhang square, there is a big hall of blue bricks and red tiles in the innermost part of the square, the left side of the hall is a delicate attic, and the right side is two ordinary bluestone huts, not far apart.

More than ten disciples of the Han family wearing blue robes stood in two columns in front of the hall, and in front of them stood a man in a green robe who looked to be forty years old.

The group walked up to everyone, Han Yu and his two nephews stepped forward, bowed to the man, and then entered the rear queue and stood with their hands down.

"But Senior Brother Yuan Qing and Senior Brother Feng Xifeng, the contemptible Han Xin, who is the head of the Han family, is entangled in mundane things, and he can't welcome him from afar, so please don't blame the two junior brothers. The man hugged his fists after the three of them entered the ranks, and said heartily.

The two returned the salute, and seeing that Feng Xifeng didn't speak, Yuan Qing opened his mouth and said, "The head of the family is serious. ”

Han Xin didn't care about Feng Xifeng's cold attitude at all, smiled heartily, turned sideways slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Please also enter the hall for a while." ”

Yuan Qing arched his hand and said "please", and the three of them walked towards the main hall one after another.

After entering the hall, the three of them sat down as the guest of honor, and after a while, the disciples of the Han family offered fragrant tea.

Yuan Qing and Han Xin picked up the teacups, talking and laughing, while Feng Xifeng was sitting in a precarious position, and when he saw the two chatting, he couldn't help frowning, and said bluntly: "The gossip will be recounted later, the head of the family may wish to inform me of the specific situation first, and it is better to go back to the mountain gate early to make a business if it is done quickly." ”

Han Xin's face sank when he heard this, and Yuan Qing explained when he saw this: "The head of the family is not strange, Senior Brother Feng has always been such an outspoken and cold character, and he has no other intentions. ”

Han Xin waved his hand, smiled slightly, and said, "Senior Brother Feng has something to say, he is really a bold person, how can I blame him." It's just that the matter of this spiritual vein is a bit tricky at the moment. ”

Seeing the inquiring look on the two of them, Han Xin paused and continued: "A few days ago, the little sister came back from inside the door to investigate this matter, and it has been more than ten days since she went, but there is no news. ”

"I don't know what kind of cultivation Sister Ling is?" Feng Xifeng asked with a straight face.

"The little sister was already a monk in the middle stage of foundation building a year ago, and she still has several superb magic weapons on her body. Han Xin's face was solemn when he said this, Feng Xifeng also frowned, and the atmosphere in the hall was a little heavy for a while.

Yuan Qing's eyes flashed, and after thinking for a moment, he looked at Han Xin and said, "Senior Brother Han just asked the two of us to come to investigate the enemy's whereabouts, but he didn't say that he was going to fight with anyone, let alone that the whereabouts of a mid-foundation monk were unknown. ”

Feng Xifeng's eyes flashed when he heard this, and then he also raised his head and looked directly at Han Xin.

Han Xin's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by the two junior brothers?"

"The stakes are very high, I just hope that the head of the family will not hide it anymore, Yuan Mou doesn't want to give his life in a daze. Yuan Qing said lightly, and there was already a sword light in his eyes.

Feng also meant the same. Feng Xifeng echoed in a cold tone.

Han Xin sighed helplessly and said, "It's not intentional to hide it, it's really that the Han family can't make more merits to ask the senior brother in the door to kill the demon, so they have to make this decision." The two juniors and disciples rest assured that Han will go together at that time, and after the matter is completed, each of them will have another hundred spirit stones. ”

"Demon slayer?" asked Yuan Qing with a frown.

"Not bad. Han went to the spirit vein to investigate before, and found several paw prints, and there were scattered blood stains around, but the spirit stone vein was not missing, so it can be concluded that this matter was definitely not the work of evil cultivators, and most of it was the remnants of demon beasts. Coupled with the disappearance of the little sister, Han suspected that there were third-level and fourth-level demon beasts mixed in, and there might be more than one, and even fifth-level demon beasts were not completely impossible. ”

The more Feng Xifeng listened, the more his face sank, but Yuan Qing said with a questioning face: "What is the realm of the fifth-level demon beast?"

Han Xin looked at Yuan Qing in disbelief, and Feng Xifeng also cast a puzzled look.

Yuan Qing smiled embarrassedly and said: "It's still shallow in the next entry, and I haven't had time to consult the relevant classics, so the two of you can laugh." ”

Han Xin laughed and said, "It seems that the junior disciple is also an ascetic, so it's not surprising that he doesn't know about it,"

As he spoke, he glanced at Feng Xifeng, and saw that he still looked noncommittal, so he paused and said, "In ancient times, there was a war between demons and demons, do you know, junior brother?"

Yuan Qing nodded lightly, and Han Xin continued: "After the first battle of Tianzhu Mountain, some monks graded the demon beasts according to the combat power of the demon beasts and the realm of the monks: the first-level demon beasts are equivalent to the monk's Qi refining period, the second, third, and fourth levels correspond to the pre-foundation, middle, and late stages of foundation building, and the fifth, sixth, and seventh levels correspond to the monk's Dan period. As for the eighth level and above, they cannot be called beasts, but demon cultivators who are no different from our monks, who understand yin and yang, understand gossip, understand supernatural powers, and participate in creation, and are real land immortals, and cannot be speculated by common sense. Among them, the dragon, phoenix, and unicorn are the bells of heaven and earth, born with spirits, and the demon body is strong, which is not among them. ”

Yuan Qing showed a sudden expression, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you for the family master's solution." ”

Han Xin waved his hand and said, "Some small things, no need to be polite." It is said that the two junior brothers have traveled all the way here, and the loss must be not small, and I have ordered someone to prepare a thin wine, so it is better to rest for a while and then make a calculation. ”

Feng Xifeng got up at this time and said, "There is no need for food, I have been waiting for many years, and I also asked the head of the family to arrange two quiet rooms for us to breathe." ”

"Okay, if the two junior brothers don't dislike it, you can go to my and my little sister's residence, and Han will tell the clansmen not to disturb. Han Xin also stood up and said.

Yuan Qing then got up and arched his hand and said, "There is labor." ”

"Come with me, both of you. Han Xin took a blank lead, and then walked out of the main hall first, walking towards the two bluestone huts on the left.

After settling the Yuan and Qing people, Han Xin came to the attic, lit the three pillars of incense, and bowed deeply to the full house of tablets.

Then, he turned around and went up to the second floor, which was also an ancestral hall, but there was only one tablet enshrined here, and the word "Han Li" was written on it.

In front of the tablet was a square table with a three-foot-long square wooden box with several yellow talismans pasted on it.

Han Xin first bowed three times to the tablet, then pinched the trick to brush off the spirit rune, opened the wooden box, and a blue, red, and white three-color magic sword showed its shape, and the sword body was radiant, looking full of spirituality.

Han Xin put away the magic sword, bowed to the tablet again, and then went out of the attic, returned to the main hall to sit upright, closed his eyes and recuperated.

Two hours later, Yuan Qing opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of light. After hesitating for a moment, he got up and walked out of the stone house and walked towards the main hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, Han Xin opened his eyes and said, "Senior Brother Yuan, this is the right to breathe?"

Yuan Qing smiled and replied: "Thanks to the abundant spiritual energy in the stone house of the head of the family. ”

Han Xin just smiled when he heard this, and then closed his eyes and wandered away. Yuan Qing also sat down with interest, his eyes slightly closed, and he actually realized the technique of getting up and integrating the sword.

After another half an hour, Feng Xifeng walked into the main hall with full energy, and saw that Yuan Qing was here early in the morning, slightly surprised, and when he saw the two of them, he arched his hand and said: "Feng has finished pranayama, so the two of you have been waiting for a long time." Then he sat down nearby.

Han Xin said at this time: "The two junior disciples have completed pranayama, I don't know what to think?"

Feng Xifeng said in a cold voice: "Go directly, if you encounter a demon beast and kill it, this place is not far from my Xuanyuan, I don't believe that any big demon dares to make waves here." ”

Yuan Qing shook his head and said: "I'll go to see the spirit vein first and then talk about other things, besides, Senior Sister Han must have left some clues, and then rescue Senior Sister first, and then gather everyone's strength to eliminate the demon guard." ”

"In that case, then I'll wait here and then let's go. After Han Xin finished speaking, he got up and walked to the square, followed by Yuan Qing and Feng Xifeng.

Han Yu didn't know when he arrived in the square, Han Xin glanced at him, and lightly ordered: "I will go back with the two junior brothers, and you will manage all the things in the clan well, don't make any trouble." ”

"Honorable Lord's Order. After speaking, he bowed deeply.

Seeing this, Han Xin nodded, released a white spirit boat, and headed away. Feng Xifeng and Yuan Qing also released their magic weapons, followed closely behind, and the three of them quickly disappeared into the sky.

In the verdant pine forest, a fiery red figure galloped through the forest, with a slender figure, vaguely visible as a female cultivator, after seven or eight turns, the yellow light flashed, and it disappeared directly into the ground, without a sound.

Two or three miles later, a big blue-winged and golden-eyed bird carried a white civet cat and chased after it.

In the blink of an eye, the big bird arrived at the place where the nun disappeared, the yellow light in the little beast's eyes flashed, and he glanced down, and then sniffed hard with his small nose, and whimpered, as if he had found nothing.

Then it jumped off the bird's back, and its body flickered, and there was no wood or stone in a mile of radius.

After a low snort, the little beast jumped on the back of the bird with a slight force, and with a "meow", the big bird immediately chirped, and after a little circle, it flew towards the north, and soon disappeared.

After a stick of incense, in the center of the ground that had been destroyed by the small beast, after a burst of yellow light, the female cultivator slowly appeared from the ground, her face was delicate, her hair was a little scattered, the corners of her mouth were bloody, and she was wearing a red dress, but there were many scratches on her back and chest, and the blue inner armor under her was faintly visible.

The nun looked to the north, then took out a fiery red tail feather, and was about to rise in the sky, when suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, and she couldn't help frowning, and her expression was painful.

Then she flipped over and took out a cyan jade bottle, poured out a pill the size of a dragon's eye, and quickly swallowed it.

I saw a flash of red light on his face, and then his expression was greatly enhanced, and he hurriedly pinched the trick to cast a spell, casually identified a direction, and rode away.

Not long after the nun left, a green snake the size of five zhang came here, stretched out the snake letter to carefully identify the smell in the air, and then quickly chased in the direction where the nun left.
