At dinner time, Chen Jiuge found that the mouse was not around. This snack goods, after getting acquainted with Pu'er, is like relying on Pu'er, and rarely follows him anymore.

"Most of the vampire beasts hate the sun and like to come out on moonlit nights to hunt for blood, especially when the moon is full... Take a rest and go to Liujiazhuang later..."

Chen Jiuge had just finished meditating cross-legged when he was interrupted by the "squeak" of a mouse outside the window.

"You said that Pu'er went to Liujiazhuang to find Brother Zhang... This girl is really not worry-free! if you run into a vampire monster, it will be dangerous..."

Chen Jiuge didn't think much about it, and quickly followed the guinea pig...

"What about the snack goods, when did they disappear, what if they got lost?" Pu'er searched around, but didn't find the figure of the guinea pig, and looked a little anxious.

"Forget it, this little guy is quirky, he shouldn't get lost in just three or four miles... Let's go find my brother first!" Pu'er was about to give up looking for the guinea pig, when suddenly there was a "squeeping" sound from the nearby forest.

"Don't be naughty, snack boys, let's go find my brother together...", Pu'er followed the direction of the sound and walked towards the woods, calling as she called.

The dark woods make the atmosphere unusually eerie.

"There's a voice over there, it's Pu'er..." Chen Jiuge rushed to the woods and rushed in the direction of the sound.

"Brother... Brother save me..."At this time, Pu'er was tightly entangled by a giant snake with thick legs, and her consciousness gradually began to blur.

......

"Captain, there seems to be movement over there in the woods!" shouted a servant as he trotted.

"A few of you will come with me to have a look!" Zhang Quan did not hesitate, picked up his saber and hurried towards the woods.

......

“... Pu'er...!"

“... Big... Snake!"

Chen Jiuge finally arrived, and he was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. casually slashed a knife on the back of the giant snake, and the giant snake let go of the giant snake in pain for a while.

With a crisp birdsong, like the sound of a flute, the giant snake quickly burrowed into the weeds next to it and disappeared.

Suddenly, a figure flew from behind him, striking him in the back of the heart. Under the spiritual perception, he felt that it was extremely dangerous, how dare he fight with it, and immediately picked up Pu'er on the ground and fled in the direction of Liujiazhuang.

"Boy, if you hurt my little black, you want to slip away, is there such a cheap thing!" The black-clothed Mengren figure was like a ghost, quickly blocking the way.

"What person?" Zhang Quan shouted.

"Brother Zhang... Save Pu'er!" Chen Jiuge shouted at Zhang Quan.

At this time, the black-clothed masked man saw that the situation was not good, and quickly jumped on the branch and flew away.

"Pu'er, Pu'er, wake up!" Zhang Quan probed Pu'er's breath and was suddenly shocked. Then he quickly clicked on her a few times, picked her up and ran towards the city, saying as he ran:

"Pu'er is poisoned, I'll go to find my father-in-law..."

......

Midnight, Cheng Yue's house.

"Brother Zhang, how is Pu'er?" As soon as Zhang Quan came out of the room, Chen Jiuge greeted him and asked.

"Thankfully, the wound wasn't fatal... It's just that the poison in Pu'er is very domineering, and only the innate true qi of the righteous father can force it out!"

Zhang Quan finally relaxed, but his face was tired, his eyes were a little red, and then he asked:

"Xiao Jiu, do you see who it is?"

"No, that person is dressed in black and masked very fast, and it was a big snake with thick legs that hurt Pu'er!" Chen Jiuge replied truthfully.

"Snake?" Cheng Yue was standing at the door at this time, and when he heard the conversation, he was also surprised.

"The snake that has been harmed like this is raised again, it should be a medicine snake!" It seems that Cheng Yue should know the origin of this snake.

"Father-in-law, what is a medicine snake?" asked Zhang Quan.

"There is a beast sect in Xiqi Mountain, they will feed the beasts with medicine and the blood of livestock, and when they are cultivated, they will take blood to refine medicine. The big snake that can grow to the thickness of the legs, I'm afraid it's going to grow big!" Cheng Yue replied.

"Then why did he feed with the blood of living people?" Zhang Quan asked again.

"It may be a method for this person to cultivate demonic skills!" Cheng Yue sighed and continued:

"For my father, I have spent a lot of my true qi to save Pu'er, I'm afraid it's not good to do it with people these days!

"Father-in-law... It's all because the child is not good, and he didn't take good care of his sister and hurt his father-in-law..."Zhang Quan was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Don't worry about it, Quan'er, it's the secret injury that my father-in-law fell when he was with the army to suppress bandits a few years ago, and it's okay to rest for a few days!"

Cheng Yue has no children under his knees, only two daughters, he has long been married to a wife, and he has long regarded Zhang Quan as his own son.

"I'll go back to my room to rest, there is a maid to take care of Pu'er, you should rest early!" Cheng Yue dragged his tired body and turned to leave.

Since that day, there has never been a case of a snake demon killing and injuring people, and the county yamen seems to have deliberately tried to downplay this incident.

Half a month later...

Zhang Quan, who usually did not approve of his sister's practice of martial arts, began to teach her one move at a time.

At this time, Chen Jiu was holding a thick book, sitting on the threshold and constantly flipping through it, and communicating with the guinea pig on his shoulder from time to time. That's right, he's teaching rats to read!

"Xiao Jiu, don't be lazy! Come over and make a few moves with Pu'er..."Zhang Quan glanced at Chen Jiu Ge and handed him the wooden sword in his hand.

"Uh... Okay!" Chen Jiuge grimaced, reluctantly taking the wooden sword.

"Look at the move!" Pu'er stabbed casually, Chen Jiuge dodged left and right, just parryed, but did not fight back.

After more than a dozen moves, Pu'er added a few more strengths, and her moves became faster and faster. And Chen Jiuge can still dodge and dodge, if he can't dodge, he will block, and if he can't stop it with three points, he will add another half a point.

Pu'er was even more energetic with him at this time, and gave him his best set of phantom swordsmanship. The shots are trickier and faster.

After more than 20 moves, Pu'er couldn't help Chen Jiuge for a long time. He was sweating profusely, but he was relaxed and didn't breathe.

"Hmph... Brother Xiao Jiu is a turtle... Don't fight!"

It was clear that Pu'er was angry.

Chen Jiu Ge put away the sword, and said with a smile on his face: "Sister Pu'er's magic skills are world-famous, Xiao Jiu only has the power to parry, and he has no strength to fight back!"

Pu'er has long been at the peak realm of the refining body, and the foundation is solid, it is estimated how much time it will take to break through to the acquired realm. On weekdays, in front of a group of classmates, but she is as proud as a princess.

"But you've only been learning martial arts for less than four months..."Pu'er felt that she was compared to her and was very shameless.

"Uh... Not necessarily, maybe I also practiced martial arts before I lost my memory? And you should be able to see that in the past four months, my body has grown a lot taller and stronger!"

Chen Jiuge showed off his strong muscles as he spoke, and compared his height with Zhang Quan.

"Is it..."

Pu'er seemed to figure it out, but she always felt that something was wrong. She should have ignored it, Xiao Jiu didn't fight with her from beginning to end, and only used basic footwork and swordsmanship.

"There are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains! Your fists and feet are okay in the academy, if you go to the county and state capital, you will be a little sword maid for others!"

As soon as Zhang Quan's words fell, Pu'er became excited, waved the wooden sword in his hand and rushed towards Chen Jiuge again:

"I don't believe it, Xiao Jiu looks at the sword..."

Zhang Quan smiled evilly, and at the same time, he couldn't help but marvel at Xiao Jiu's talent for martial arts.

"Captain... Traces of mountain bandits have been found on the north side of the Hidden Mountain!"

A servant ran over panting...

......

The mountains and forests to the north of Yinshan are very close to the official road, and there are four or five Orion villages at the foot of the mountain, less than three miles away from the northern city.

After the extermination of the mountain bandits ten years ago, the business of several dart bureaus in Beicheng has become more and more prosperous. A group of mountain bandits like Yan Jiang didn't dare to go to that area at all.

Zhang Quan took a team of officials and searched in this mountain forest.

Soon they found traces of a fight at the scene, as well as bloodstains. Following the bloodstains, I found a man in a short time.

A dead man with a sword wound on each leg. The fatal wound was two bloody holes in the neck, and the blood in the body had long been sucked dry.

"Isn't this the old blue of the mountain bandit Yan Jiang's gang?" an official recognized the identity of the deceased.

"And this cause of death is exactly the same as the case of Liujiazhuang in Dongcheng last month, could it be that I met that snake demon?"

"Disperse and continue searching!" Zhang Quanzheng was worried that he would never have a chance to take revenge, and he couldn't imagine that the old and new enemies would be torn apart!

"Squeak... The little mouse was not idle, and he came out of nowhere, standing on Brother Chen Jiu's shoulder, as if he had discovered something.

"Brother Zhang, the snack seller said they went to the southwest!"

Chen Jiuge translated for the mouse in front of him, regardless of whether Zhang Quanxin believed it or not.

Zhang Quan glanced at him, and then at the guinea pig, with an inexplicable expression. But he did not hesitate, and then ordered:

"Everyone, search southwest..."
