On the way back to the county seat, after talking with a middle-aged woman, Zhou Qing continued to walk towards the county seat.

Although it has been away for more than ten years, this small county town has not changed much, the streets are still the same as they were back then, and the houses on the street have changed slightly.

Following the direction in his memory, after Zhou Qing entered the city, he went to Bazi Lane, where he had lived for several years.

On the way back to Bazi Alley, he met several acquaintances who recognized him.

Among them were a man selling pancakes along the street, a street vendor, and a woman who had lived in the town for many years.

Back in Bazi Lane, Zhou Qing stood in front of the cottage he bought in this county seat back then, and his heart was full of feelings.

There were so many memories of him, and he remembered that after his master brought him out of the small village that had been destroyed by the plague, it didn't take long for him to settle here.

This settlement is several years, here there is the imprint of his first knowledge of the path, there is the sweat of his hard work every day, here is the beginning of his life, the germination of hope.

Standing in front of the closed door of his house, Zhou Qing felt a lot for a while, and just when he secretly felt in his heart, a woman in a plain dress walked out of a courtyard next to him.

Because Zhou Qing's bright red robe was too conspicuous, the woman saw Zhou Qing as soon as she was discharged from the hospital.

"You're a Taoist surnamed Li, right?"

The woman's shout came, Zhou Qing looked at each other, and after the two glanced at each other, Zhou Qing found that he didn't know the woman.

And what made him strange was that the house where this woman came out was where the Lin family lived back then, but why did this woman appear in the Lin family now? And how did this woman know herself?

"Poor Dao Li Dawa, eldest sister, do you know me?"

The woman looked like she was in her early thirties, so Zhou Qing took the liberty of calling the other party the eldest sister and asked suspiciously.

"Li Dawa, yes, that's the name, I don't know you, but the original owner of the house I live in now surnamed Lin knows you, and when they left Jinling County, they gave me a key and said to me......"

Under the woman's explanation, Zhou Qing knew that the Lin family had moved away.

Lin Fei'er married in a neighboring county five years ago, and as a single daughter, she took her parents over after she got married.

And the woman in front of her bought this house four years ago and lived in it, and at the same time, when the Lin family sold her house, she told her about Zhou Qing.

"Wait a minute, Daochang Li, I'll go get the key for you. ”

Roughly told Zhou Qing the cause of the incident, the woman turned around and entered the house, and after a while, she walked out with a key.

"Okay, thank you, big sister. ”

After taking the key, Zhou Qing thanked the woman, turned back to the door of his house, and opened the closed door.

Pushing open the gate and entering the courtyard, it was not much different from when he left, except that there were many more weeds on the ground in the front yard.

Passing through the front yard and entering the attic, the floor was covered with thick dust, the tables and chairs were also covered with dust, and many cobwebs could be seen on the wooden windows and wooden beams in the house.

It can be seen that no one has been in this house for a long, long time.

The building was very dirty, and there was dust everywhere, but the furnishings and other things still remained the same as when Zhou Qing left.

After walking upstairs and downstairs again, Zhou Qing left his house, left Jinling County, and went to Dongguo Town.

This time, when he returned to Tianyue Kingdom, he mainly wanted to go to two places.

One is the Savage Forest he had been to before, and the other place is Dongguo Town.

The distance between Jinling County and Dongguo Town is only a hundred miles, and at Zhou Qing's speed, his figure appeared on the edge of the town in less than an hour.

"Master, you led me into the Tao, and it can be regarded as giving me a great creation, I was too weak to avenge your hatred back then, and today I will clear up this matter that has been entangled in my heart for many years, and give you and myself an explanation. ”

Standing on the edge of the town, Zhou Qing looked at a mountain peak at the edge of the town from a distance and muttered to himself.

......

Night fell, on a mountain leading to the top of Qingcheng Mountain, Zhou Qing, who was dressed in a red robe, moved up to the top like a ghost.

In a short time, when he stopped, he was already standing on the top of the mountain, and at this time, not far from him, there was a temple of considerable size.

Above the closed gate of the temple, there is also a square wooden plaque with the words 'Sumeru Temple' written in three large gold lacquer characters.

Glancing at the wooden plaque, Zhou Qing waved his hand in the air, and a gang qi condensed by spiritual energy directly bombarded the plaque, knocking the wooden plaque to the ground and falling to the ground.

When the wooden plaque landed, Zhou Qing waved his hand and pointed in the air, and a burst of qi flew directly towards the closed wooden door of the temple, and then the wooden door was smashed with a 'boom'.

When the wooden door was broken, a person came out from behind the door, and the moment he saw that person, a trace of doubt rose in Zhou Qing's heart.

Because he sensed a faint ghost aura in this person's body, but this person is not an evil spirit, and the ghost aura on his body emanates from himself, but he is a person with a physical body.

The man with a ghostly aura was a bald mage who wore a dark blue robe, a large string of beads around his neck, and an iron rod in his hand.

After the bald mage holding an iron rod appeared, after a short while, another bald mage ran out of the temple one after another.

One by one, and soon, twelve mages armed with iron rods appeared in front of the temple gates.

On the bodies of these twelve mages, Zhou Qing sensed a faint ghost aura.

"Evil obstacles, how can the Sumeru Temple allow you to trespass without permission, if you want to save your life, it is still too late to go down the mountain now. ”

One of the twelve bald mages took a step forward with a wooden stick in hand and said these words to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing was naturally unhappy when the other party's words came out, although he smashed the plaque in the temple and smashed the gate of the temple, but these people were mages after all.

The opening of the mouth was directly commensurate with the evil obstacle, and the tone was full of threats, which showed that these mages were not decent monks.

Of course, Zhou Qing already knew this many years ago, if this Sumeru Temple was decent, he would not sign a contract with the people who came to the temple to pray.

"Bald, don't be so arrogant, if you think you can take my life, you can give it a try. ”

Coldly answering the other party, Zhou Qing waved his hand, and an invisible aura directly blasted towards the mage who was speaking wildly.

When the Gang Qi was approaching, the mage directly swung an iron rod to meet the Gang Qi, and then, in silence, the mage was pushed to the corner of the wall by the Gang Qi, and with the help of several other mages, they worked together to disperse the Gang Qi.
