The white-haired old man stroked his beard and said with a chuckle: "Your cultivation has improved too quickly, and the foundation is already unstable, which gives the demons an opportunity to take advantage of, and gradually affects your mind.

For today's plan, the only way to suppress the inner demon is to use foreign objects to prevent it from continuing to grow, and at the same time consolidate the foundation and stabilize the cultivation. In this way, in less than ten years, the foundation will be stable, and the demons will disappear by themselves!"

Han Cheng nodded, this old way seemed to see through everything about him, no matter how he tried to hide it, it was almost useless in front of him.

He bowed with a respectful expression: "Thank you Immortal Elder for your advice, the younger generation has been taught, and I haven't asked the Immortal Elder for advice." ”

"Hehe, the old way is called withered bamboo. The white-haired old man replied with a smile.

Han Cheng was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the mysterious and low-key old man in front of him turned out to be a famous old man with withered bamboo in the Shushan world.

The old man of withered bamboo has attained the Tao since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, ranking among the six monsters of the universe, with thousands of years of Taoism, unfathomable mana, and one of the few heavenly immortals stranded in the human realm.

His temperament is eccentric, and he often travels as an incarnation, playing the world, but he didn't expect him to meet him.

"It turned out to be a withered bamboo senior, and the predecessor rode a sacred bird, I don't know where I want to go?"

Kuzhu said with a smile: "The old way is a wild fox, the four seas are home, and there is no fixed residence, and there is a fate to meet today, the old way will give you a black jade pendant!"

After speaking, with a wave of his sleeve robe, a black jade pendant shot out, and finally landed firmly on Han Cheng's hand.

After Han Cheng took the jade pendant, a cool aura suddenly permeated his whole body, calming a trace of restless qi and blood in his body, and even the Yuan Shen felt a trace of stability, and couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask the seniors what is the function of this thing?"

Withered bamboo said: "This thing can be used to calm the mind and calm the mind, suppress your inner demons a little, so that they will not grow too fast, and greatly reduce the risk of going mad when doing the exercises."

But it needs to be worn on the body from time to time to be effective, in terms of efficacy, it is far less than the 10,000-year-old warm jade in the reckless mountains, only the rare pure yang treasure such as the 10,000-year-old warm jade has the effect of completely suppressing the demons. ”

Han Cheng nodded, and was about to say something grateful, but Kuzhu waved his hand to stop him.

"Lao Dao saw that you are talented and can't bear to be killed, so I made a little adjustment, I hope it can be helpful to your cultivation, and it is not in vain that you and I meet this fate.

Before leaving, Lao Dao wants to send you a word, I hope you will keep it in mind. ”

Looking at Han Cheng, Kuzhu's expression was a little serious at this moment.

Sensing the abnormality of the old man's expression, Han Cheng immediately collected his thoughts, and replied with a solemn face: "If the seniors have something to say, please speak, and the juniors must keep it in mind and dare not forget." ”

Withered bamboo glanced at him with a complicated expression, looked up at the sky, and said in a somewhat touching tone: "Your origin is not transparent, I think it is extraordinary, I don't know if it is a chance meeting, or it is a coincidence, to this day, you have inherited many immortal legacies, countless causes and effects, the road of life is destined to be full of ups and downs, when the catastrophe comes, I hope you can go to the heart of heaven, don't forget the benevolence, cherish the little friends, and go the old way!"

By the time Han Cheng was still digesting the words of the old man withered bamboo, he had already ridden the god dove south and quickly disappeared into the clouds.

After a long time, when he raised his head again, he already had a trace of understanding in his heart, and after carefully putting the black jade pendant in his hand on his body, he put away his distracting thoughts and flew towards the southwest.

The border of Yunnan and Guizhou, the mountains and mountains, have not been opened up for eternity, it is really a thousand mountains and birds flying away, and thousands of paths and people are wiped out. Here the ancient trees are forested, the shade is like a curtain, the rocks are high and the mountains turn, and the paths are dangerous and the peaks are back. The more you move forward, the more majestic and beautiful the mountains become, and the scenery is very. There are many strange flowers and plants, and there are many demons and monsters.

On this day, a faint light flashed in the sky, and a cyan figure appeared at the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou.

Han Cheng used his divine thoughts, spent most of the day, searched the land within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, and finally found out the specific location of the Evil Ghost Gorge.

Urging the seven stars to escape the light, a few flickering moments will arrive at the destination, this evil ghost gorge is hidden between two lofty mountains, surrounded by high cliffs and steep walls outside, and there are vines and vines to seal, all year round do not see the light of day.

The terrain is humble and wet, and there are poisonous miasma everywhere, and the colorful mist is steaming and gloomy, reflecting the sun. Between the cliffs and grasses, insects and snakes are running around, and seeing people chasing after them with their heads held high, it is a very sinister place.

And the snake king temple is in the middle of the mountain on a wide flat, the age is old, most of the wall powder hall tiles are peeled off, there is more dilapidated than their own pear blossom view, but the temple wall and hall words are good, and they have not collapsed at all.

In front of the temple, there are two rows of general size and thickness of paulownia trees, the soil and stone are flat and clean, although it is already in the cold winter season, there are no residual branches and rotten leaves, as if someone often cleans here.

Below Guangping, there are many acres of fields along the hillside, its shape is like gossip, high and low, large and small, the layers are distinct, and the staggered ones are caused.

"Looks like this is the right place. ”

Han Cheng looked around, compared it with the scene depicted in the original book, and knew that he had come to the right place.

After using the method to investigate for a long time, he did not find any traces of the murderer Zhu Que around the Snake King Temple, and it is estimated that he was not suppressed in the temple, so he felt a little at ease.

The Snake King Temple is located in the deep mountains and Daze, uninhabited all the year round, and has long become a bunch of snake nests, which are full of all kinds of poisonous snakes, which is also the origin of the name of the Snake King Temple.

As soon as Han Cheng stepped into the Snake King Temple, he smelled a fishy wind, and countless poisonous snakes spit out letters and pounced on him fiercely, as if they wanted to teach this uninvited guest a lesson.

Seeing this, Han Cheng snorted coldly, and directly lucked the dantian, and suddenly burst out with a small sharp sword qi around his body, spreading out in all directions, and all the poisonous snakes around him were cut into sections by the sharp sword qi, and there were stumps and broken bodies everywhere. Dozens of zhang was suddenly empty, and there were no living creatures.

The poisonous snakes in the back saw that they were not easy to provoke, so they shook their heads and ran away, "whoosh", and ran away after a while.

After Han Cheng sent the poisonous snake away, he walked straight towards the Snake King Temple.

There are two statues of gods in the front hall, and the gold paint has peeled off. Beyond the head gate, there is a large patio. Among them, the sidewalk is made of stone slabs, about one zhang wide and ten zhang long, leading directly to the main hall. The shape of the road is a cross, leading to the side halls on both sides. There are also two rows of paulownia trees planted on both sides of the main road.

Although the temple is old and dilapidated, it is very tall and solemn, and you can imagine the prosperous scene of the past. However, in the end, it can't withstand the passage of time, and the temple gate is no longer known at this moment. There are no five offerings on the god case, and the statue of the god collapses aside.

After Han Cheng investigated carefully, he didn't find anything, so he focused on the apse, since the Heshaqi book was not in the front hall, it should be in the apse.

With a wave of his hand, he swept away the dust and cobwebs along the way, and without looking too much, he walked straight to the apse.

In the second-story hall, the trees, the patio and the first floor are almost the same, but the doors and windows of the apse and the statues of the gods are removed, and only the skeleton of a temple remains, which is similar to the pavilion. There is a huge stone stove inside, on which is placed a large cauldron, and the age is still cast on the edge, but it is a thing of the Song Dynasty march.

There is also a long bluestone case next to the stove, which is furnished with many things used in the kitchen, and the dry animal meat on the column is heavy and drooping. None of these things are many times larger than those used by ordinary people.

In addition, on one side is a sacred case, covered with a bed of linen quilt and a bamboo pillow, and on the other side is a bluestone three feet long and eight feet wide, which is very smooth.

There was nothing on the stone, only one end of the inside, and there was a piece of jade more than two feet wide and four feet long. The rest also have some farm tools, which are in ancient forms and vary in size.

Han Cheng's eyes were immediately attracted by a piece of jade more than two feet wide and more than four feet long on the bluestone, and with a flick of his index finger, several qi swords shot out, only to hear the sneering sound, and after a while, the jade changed its appearance greatly, shaped like a rectangle, seven inches large, and an inch thick, and the whole body was muddy, and when he held it in his hand, he didn't feel a little weight, and it looked clear and crystalline, and the treasure light was reflected.

Han Cheng secretly used his divine pupils and eyes, and there were two rays of blue light in his eyes that looked at the jade, and found that there was a faint Zhu Wen ancient seal in the jade, but he couldn't see it very really.

Han Cheng knew that this must be the jade leaf gold medal of the "Hesha Qi Book", and it was mentioned in the original book that this jade stone had been blocked by the Hesha Dao Elder with the immortal method, and it was not the true qi of the five elements or the treasure of the immortal family, and it could not be opened.

With his current cultivation, most of them can't be dismantled in a short period of time, and it is easy to expose his whereabouts when he breaks the ban here, which is obviously very inappropriate, so he no longer looks at it carefully, and directly ingests it into the sachet.
