In a small courtyard in Dongcheng, a young scholar was reading with a lamp, occasionally coughing lightly.

Outside the window, it was raining at night, and a cool breeze hit and blew the lights swaying.

Suddenly, a plain hand reached out and gently blocked it, protecting the light.

"Lady, the night is deep, you are sick, how can you get up?" the young man's clear voice sounded, and he immediately got up and took a soft palm.

Between the intertwining of light and shadow, a woman in her twenties and beautiful appearance gently pulled the young scholar's shirt, looked up at her husband affectionately, and said softly:

"The concubine is fine, but the husband has recovered from a serious illness some time ago, so it is time to rest early. ”

The young man wanted to say something more, but when he saw the concerned gaze of the woman in front of him, he could only shake his head helplessly.

After a few moments, the lights went out and the room fell silent.

Lin Zhao stood above the house, tiptoe tapping the flying horns of the roof, his clothes fluttering, looking up.

A bolt of lightning streaked through it, pulling an electric snake out of the dark night sky.

Under the electric light, Lin Zhao's face was expressionless, and his eyes were deep, as if he could reflect the night sky.

The night rain is dashing, and Lin Zhao stands quietly.

After a tea time, the door below opened, and a figure flashed out and gently closed the door. Then he jumped up and stood on the other side of the ridge.

"Why can't the Taoist get along with me, I ask myself that I have never done evil in the world, let alone harmed others. ”

The lightning shone brightly, illuminating the appearance of the person who spoke, who was the young scholar who had been reading at night with the lamp before.

"Hehe, I didn't use thunder to kill you on the spot, why do you think I have the leisure to wait in the rain?"

Lin Zhao turned around, his eyes were like lightning, his expression was awe-inspiring, and he continued to speak:

"You can incarnate as a human being, which shows that the Tao is not shallow, but you can know the rules of heaven?"

Without waiting for the young scholar to return, Lin Zhao said to himself:

"Since ancient times, there has been a Heavenly Venerable in the Upper Realm who has issued a metaphor that human beings and demons cannot be combined, and you dare to incarnate as a human being, causing trouble in the world, and violating such a taboo!!!

"I don't need you to tell me, I naturally know, but since I saw Yulan for the first time, I can no longer control myself and think about it day and night.

On the same day, Yulan sold herself to bury her father, and I came forward to let her father be buried with dignity; Yulan envied the story of the talented and beautiful woman, and I studied hard every day to gain fame and fame to satisfy her wishes.

What is wrong with me that since I have come to earth, not only have I not done evil, but have always done good?"

The sky flashed with lightning, the thunder roared, and the young scholar was under the light of the light, his eyes were blood-red, his face was aggrieved, his expression was angry, and he stared at Lin Zhao viciously, quite a posture of tearing up if he didn't agree with each other.

"Hahaha, what a sharp tooth, and you want to continue to deceive me.

Have you ever known that my human race has a saying, 'If you want people to know, you can't do it unless you do it', and you think that if things are done secretly, I don't know the reason?

Three months ago, you secretly cast a spell to kill He Yulan's own father, so that Mr. He died without illness, and even caused people to pretend to be creditors to come to the door to pay off the debt with the only house in front of Mr. He, so that He Yulan, a weak woman, had nothing to do, and finally ended up on the streets, so she could only sell herself to bury her father.

Then you come forward and be a 'good person'!

Haha, a good one has never been evil, a good one has always done good deeds, and he has been practicing for some years, and it is the first time I have heard such a joke. ”

Lin Zhao put his hands behind his back, looked up to the sky and smiled.

It's just that the laughter has disappeared before it has been heard, and it is obvious that the soundproofing law has already been laid.

"Die!"

When the young scholar heard this, he knew that the matter was completely exposed, his cheeks changed instantly, turning into a fox face, and his hands also turned into a pair of beast claws, the claws were as sharp as knives, and he jumped three feet in the air, and came towards Lin Zhao to kill.

Lin Zhao looked at the fox demon falling in the air, his body did not move, and his eyes were like a cold pool.

At the same time, a thunderbolt as thick as an arm suddenly descended from the air, hitting his body.

I heard a short miserable howl coming from the mouth of the fox-headed monster, and then its body turned into charcoal, and it was directly destroyed.

Before the fox-headed monster's remnants fell, two invisible giant hands appeared in the air, scooped them up and rubbed them in the air, and immediately turned into flying ashes and scattered in the wind and rain.

Lin Zhao shook his head, fell from the roof, entered through the wall, took out a few gold ingots in his hand, put them next to the sleeping young woman's pillow, and then quietly left.

The night sky was thundering, the wind and rain were blowing, and the young woman was still asleep.

Tonight, in the sky above Tongcheng, the thunder was particularly violent, and some people suddenly woke up and fell asleep in sleep, but they didn't know what had happened in the city.

Just after the ugly hour of the night, Lin Zhao rose in the sky and flew towards the outside of Tongcheng.

A Taoist temple more than ten miles away from Tongcheng was also bathed in thunderstorms at this time.

The Taoist temple covers an area of not large, and there are three elegant big characters above the vermilion main gate "Fengxiang Temple", which is obviously from the hand of a famous artist.

The building in the view is quite magnificent and simple, the palace is stacked on top of each other, you can see the blue bricks, blue tiles and red columns, and the bamboo, green pine, and cold plum.

It was the middle of the night, and the incense and candles in the main hall were still not extinguished, and the faint green smoke was around.

Suddenly, a loud noise came, and the plaque of "Fengxiangguan", together with the vermilion gate below, collapsed and was slapped into the ground by a dark blue giant palm.

Then there was a loud shout and a loud bang.

More than ten Taoist priests in the temple, as well as seven or eight Taoist children, were awakened one by one, hurriedly dressed and stepped on shoes, and came out of the room with fire candles.

Through the wind and rain, the Taoist priests of the "Fengxiang Temple" saw that on the square paved with blue bricks outside the temple, there were already five corpses on display at this time.

Just looking at its charred and hideous head, as well as its curved claws, it is clear that they are five monsters.

The monster wearing the robe of "Xuanming Daojun", but turning into a yellow wolf's head, is fighting with a young Taoist.

Both sides are hand-to-hand combat, the wolf demon-like monster is like the wind, and it shoots out to sweep the phantom of the Dao, and between the claws dancing, it makes a "hiss" cracking sound.

Obviously, the claws are too sharp and the shots are too fast, causing the air to be violently compressed and cut, so that it can have such power.

But such a fierce and sharp attack was not at all difficult for the young Daoist, who always easily dodged when the attack was about to get closer.

After more than a dozen breaths, the young Taoist spoke: "A few Yellow Wind Wolf Demons, with this ability, dare to call themselves Dao Jun. It's really impatient to go to my human city to confuse the world!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw that he began to fight back, and punched out at the torn wolf demon claws, which seemed to be unremarkable, like a new Ding who was learning martial arts boxing.

Between the fists and claws, I heard a sound like fried beans coming from the wolf demon's body, and then I saw its body flying up in the air, and the whole body collapsed and began to deform.

Then I heard a "bang" crackling sound, and the wolf demon was like a humanoid firecracker, bursting into pieces and flying out in all directions.

This wolf demon, who dared to call "Xuanming Daojun", transformed into a human form with his natural ability, and established himself as a "Fengxiang Great Immortal", was directly poured into the fist strength by Lin Zhao's punch, and exploded from the inside, beating into the residue of broken limbs.

......

Early in the morning of the second day, a large number of officials from the Tongcheng Mansion came to the "Fengxiang Temple" outside the city, and saw that the statue of the former "Fengxiang Daxian" was photographed into pieces, and the remains of monsters were displayed on the ground, as well as more than 20 Taoist priests who were controlled.

Soon there was a report to the capital of Daye State, saying that after the Tongcheng Prefecture Government made a secret visit, a large number of people were dispatched to kill more than 20 wolf demons that were evil, rescued a large number of people, and found more than 10 bones of the mutilated people.

When Lin Zhao entered Tongcheng that day, he found that Huang Chong was a phantom wolf demon, and after inquiring, he guessed that the so-called "Fengxiangguan" might be a monster's den.

So I went to investigate at night, and sure enough, there were one big and five small, six yellow wind wolf demons entrenched here, and in the underground of the backyard of Guanzhong, there were a large number of human bones buried, and Lin Zhao wanted to kill them directly.

But he changed his mind again, only used a little trick, gave a warning, and left.

After that, Lin Zhao went to investigate several times, and found that sure enough, he became alert and obediently stayed in Fengxiangguan to avoid the limelight.

It was precisely because of the wolf demon known as "Huang Chong Zhenren" that Lin Zhao calculated that he had an opportunity to collect apprentices and fell into this city, which led to the later incidents.

As for the matter of the Tongcheng Mansion, Lin Zhao naturally didn't know, and his figure had already appeared in the south of the Aoba Kingdom at this time, where the border with the Yu Kingdom was located.

Along the way, Lin Zhao walked on both feet, and never flew in the sky, so down-to-earth, the feeling of walking on the earth made Lin Zhao particularly touched.

Since entering the Peiyuan period, Lin Zhao has rarely walked on two feet, and most of them fly in the sky.

This time I stepped on the earth, but I realized the thickness and breadth of the earth.

And vaguely, this feeling is faintly in line with the thick earth veins in his body, which makes Lin Zhao have a deeper understanding of the earth line.

Lin Zhao walked all the way at sunrise and sunset, and when he stopped in the sky, he found that his understanding of the Great Dao was even more than that of meditation in the stone mansion.

Half a month has passed, Lin Zhao has passed through several mundane countries, walking in the red dust, and eliminating demons in the land of the human race.

Whenever he encounters monsters and ghosts, he will use thunderous means to kill all kinds of demons and demons one by one.

On this day, Lin Zhao finally approached the Ranfeng Mountain Range.

The Ranfeng Mountain Range is a branch of the Fuzang Mountain Range.

The territory to the north of it, the border between the three mortal kingdoms, has always been used for the exile of prisoners.

Gradually, the descendants of the prisoners multiplied in the Ranfeng Mountains and became fierce mountain people, building strong village walls and hidden stone caves to ward off foreign enemies.

There are a few small spiritual veins in the Ranfeng Mountain Range, and there are also miniature spiritual veins hidden underground, so there are four or five small sects that have established sects here, and there are also a large number of scattered cultivators.

After passing through the phantom array, Lin Zhao, who had already undergone a makeover, looked at the small stone city in front of him, and sighed in his heart.

Located in a valley, this small rock city, known as the "Troubled Wind Market", is the largest cultivation market within a radius of more than 100,000 miles, and has been established for hundreds of years.

Lin Zhao had seen the introduction of the "Troubled Wind Collection" in the information in the sect, and he passed by here today, so he just came in to have a tour and gain more knowledge.

The "Troubled Wind Collection" is jointly built by several surrounding sects, which is very different from the secular city, not only there is a forbidden sky formation in the city, but the four city walls are also arranged with protective formations and prohibitions.

The area of the city is not very large, and it is divided into four trading areas in the shape of a "ten", some of which are neatly arranged independent shops, and some of which are simple roadside stalls.

The central location of the word "ten" is where the management body of the bazaar is located, which has the real people of the Cheng Dan period, and there are also the bazaar guards who are responsible for daily patrols and are composed of monks.

There are no permanent homes in the bazaar, but there are inns, spiritual teahouses, auction houses, and spiritual food restaurants.

Of course, the ownership of these buildings is owned by several sects.

Lin Zhao had been walking around the bazaar for more than two hours, and had seen all kinds of spiritual materials, as well as all kinds of items used for cultivation and fighting, which were really dazzling and varied.

Let Lin Zhao, a "market tourist" who is full of knowledge, but seriously lacks intuitive cognition of real objects, be satisfied.

And when Lin Zhao walked past a temporary bunk marked "Divination Hexagram Yanzhan", he not only shook his head speechlessly.

There are even such stalls here, and I can't help but feel like I was passing by the overpass in my previous life.

And when Lin Zhao wandered away, on the "Divination Hexagram Yanzhan" booth, an old monk who seemed to be blind had an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.
