It was golden autumn, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the wind was refreshing.

In a small mountain village in the northwest of Yongzhou, more than 100 miles away from the Great Wilderness Mountains, the farmers have just returned home, the women are cooking in the house, the men are smoking dry tobacco in the shade of the trees, and the children are chasing and playing in groups, a peaceful picture of farmhouse.

Whew~~~

Suddenly, a deafening whistling sound came from the back of the village, breaking the silence of the village. The villagers were stunned, and were just about to get up to look for it, when a sudden shock hit them, and people couldn't help but sit back. The tremors were felt one after another, as if the gods had stomped their feet, and the dust from the eaves was falling in waves.

Suddenly, I heard the old king of the woodcutter behind the village shouting: "The wolf is coming, ...... Ah......" was followed by a scream, and then there was no sound. The young people didn't know why, they were still in a dream, the old man in the village was already pale, trembling, and shouted: "The beast tide is coming, hide in the house, ...... quickly" However, it was too late, and a pack of wind wolves appeared in the field of vision. The wind wolf's figure gradually enlarged, filling the entire eye socket, and then there was a sharp pain that rending the lungs......

The screams resounded through the sky, but they only lasted for a few seconds before they disappeared, leaving only the sound of wind wolves tearing at human flesh. The three wind wolves were eating a human corpse, and a strong surge came, knocking the wind wolf out of the air. The wind wolf instinctively twisted his body, roared angrily and bared his fangs, wanting to fight back, but when he saw that the attacker was a black-skinned giant bear, he had to reluctantly wag his tail and walk away. The giant bear stood up, like an iron tower, and did not give any disdain to the wind wolf, but grabbed a human leg and enjoyed it with relish.

The wind wolf wins in speed, so he rushes to be the vanguard to open the way, at this time the tiger, lion and bear and other fierce beasts are coming, and the wind wolf does not dare to provoke, only drooping his head to avoid it, leaving the delicacy to the latter.

Whew~~~

There was another whistling, the same as the previous one. The beasts were immediately alert, stopped predatoring, and stood in the middle of the road.

Suddenly, a colorful white tiger slowly walked from behind the village. The white tiger is more than a zhang tall, although it is not as strong and tall as the giant bear, but there is a coercive aura between the eyes, which makes the beasts tremble in fear, and they don't even dare to come out of the atmosphere. The black and white stripes make it look graceful and luxurious, and the innate word "king" on the forehead is not angry and arrogant.

Walking among the dead corpses on the pillow, smelling the strong and heavy smell of blood, the white tiger's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was a little intoxicated. The beasts were silent, and no one dared to disturb them. However, at this moment, an abrupt voice sounded: "Get out, Lao Tzu is so thin and has no meat, get out of the ......" The voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating.

The beasts were shocked, and they couldn't help but tremble, and cold sweat flowed. A trace of anger flashed in the white tiger's mouth, and suddenly a human voice said, "Black bear, go and see!" The giant bear was killed, and quickly searched for his voice.

When I came to the front of the village, I saw a young man standing on the mountain wall in the east of the village, thirteen or fourteen years old, unkempt and ragged, looking like a beggar, holding a burning stick in his hand at this time, and was confronting several wind wolves. There was only an inch of platform under the beggar's feet, and he was the only one allowed to stand. The feet are three feet above the ground, the wall slope is steep, and a rope hangs up and down, but the wind wolf does not know how to use it, but instinctively rushes high and attacks in the air. Although the beggar was not shocked, his reaction was also extremely fast, and when he saw the wind wolf attacking, he immediately hit him. Several wind wolves took turns to fight, but they didn't make an inch, and one wind wolf was beaten and his head was bleeding, which was quite embarrassing.

There is a half-man-high cave behind the beggar, like his "nest", if several wind wolves attack together, he will shrink into the hole, swing his stick and beat indiscriminately. The wolves were helpless and furious, but they didn't dare to speak out, for fear of alarming the king of the village.

When the giant bear approached, it suddenly stood tall, three feet high. A wind wolf was still about to jump up and attack, but the giant bear slapped it down with a palm and roared, "Get out!" The poor wind wolf fell heavily to the ground, and was already dead.

The beggar looked at the behemoth in front of him, and was just a little frightened at first, and suddenly heard the beast spit out people's words, "Mom" screamed, but he couldn't hold the burning stick, threw it on the ground, and exclaimed: "Mom, there are really monsters!"

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Above the white clouds, the top of the ethereal.

Several Taoists stood out of thin air, looking at the eastern sky.

In this line, the eight Taoists all wore pure yang scarves, wore moon-white Taoist robes, carried long swords, and embroidered the Sanqing pattern like water between the clothes and belts, which was exactly the dress of the disciples of the Chongzhen Sect of Tianmai Mountain of Yongzhou Taoism.

In the eyes of the people, Taoism seems to have stood on Tianmai Mountain since the beginning of heaven and earth, inheriting the duties of the gods and upholding the well-being of all people. No one remembers how many generations of Taoism has been passed down and how many teachings have been established, but the world knows that Taoism from the past, Quanzhenjiao, Zhengyijiao, or the current Chongzhen Religion, no matter which one is in charge of the real person, all take the peace of Yongzhou as the first, and secondly, it is to carry forward the Taoism, and I hope that the followers will spread all over the land of Kyushu. But somehow, no matter how hard the real people in charge of the sect work, thousands of years have passed, Yongzhou is still that Yongzhou, and the disciples are still those believers, and they have not changed a little from ancient times to the present. Heavenly Dao dictated, later generations of the sect of the sect cherished the existing believers even more, but whenever there were casualties and disasters in the Yongzhou territory, the Taoist disciples would arrive in time to save the people from danger, and try their best to curb the occurrence of the situation that the number of believers did not increase but decreased.

Over time, the people of Yongzhou became more and more dependent on Taoism, and Taoist disciples also took this matter of relieving the suffering of all the people as a lifelong lesson. Now, these eight disciples learned that the northern border would be attacked by fierce beasts, and they were ordered to come and check it out.

Suddenly, a few black dots appeared under the blue sky, first the size of a grain of rice, and in the blink of an eye, they had begun to take on human shape.

A Taoist said softly: "Senior Brother Minghao, the people from the Guigu faction of the ghost family have arrived!" The ghost family is as famous as the Taoist, and it is now inherited by the Guigu faction.

The Taoist, who is obviously called "Senior Brother Minghao", is the leader of this trip. Ming Hao bowed slightly, stared back at everyone, and said solemnly: "When you see a disciple of the ghost family, you can't lose your courtesy, nor can you fall into the prestige of my sect." If there is anyone who is a maverick and does not listen to orders, don't blame me for being strict in teaching!" As he spoke, his gaze paused for a moment on a female Taoist, who did not care at all, and looked to the east without squinting.

"Obey the orders of Senior Brother Minghao!" Including the female Taoists, the Taoists were taught in unison. "Senior Brother Minghao" was satisfied, his face was pale, and then he withdrew his gaze, tidied up his clothes, and prepared to welcome the Daoist friends of the Guigu Sect.

The Guigu faction is in charge of Jizhou, and it is adjacent to Yongzhou, and the Guigu faction of the Guigu faction is in Jizhou, just like the Taoist Chongzhen sect is in Yongzhou. The ghost family majors in the ghost road, and has always believed in ghosts and gods, believing that people have their own souls after death, and firmly believe that improving the soul cultivation is the right way, but because of its eerie and terrifying place of cultivation, the law of cultivation is strange, and the people stay away from it, often calling it a ghost religion.

Ming Hao remembered the words of the real person in charge of the sect before leaving: "The disciples of the Guigu Sect will go with you on this trip, and make an appointment to meet in Qingshan, so you can go." "The original reason is that I didn't say a word. He wondered in his heart: "What are the disciples of the ghost family doing in my Yongzhou?" but he didn't dare to ask, he was about to meet with the disciples of the ghost family at this time, and he was still not sure what attitude he would have to serve.

Although the Tao and the ghost are neighbors, the relationship is very ordinary. Taoists are proud of their own high spirits, believing that the study of the soul is a side way, and the ghost family thinks that it is authentic, cold and arrogant, so that every meeting is a false politeness that is inconsistent, and then there is something to say, after the end of the matter, they go their own way, hoping that the world is peaceful, and the old and dead do not get along, so the two families have very little contact, and this meeting is the first time in nearly ten years.

While thinking about it, the person who came was near. There were only four disciples of the Guigu Sect of the Ghost Family, and their whole bodies were wrapped in wide black robes, and only the yellow crescent moon symbol was embellished on their chests. Perhaps because of the lack of sunlight, the four of them all had pale faces and stiff expressions, even under the blue sky and white sun, they still exuded an eerie atmosphere.

Ming Hao frowned slightly, and hurriedly stretched out again, and stepped forward to greet him: "Ming Hao, the sect leader of the Poor Dao Chongzhen and the disciple of the real person, has to see the Daoist friends of the Guigu Sect today, how fortunate it is." ”

The disciples of the Guigu faction are notoriously sophisticated, and even the people of Jizhou know that no matter how kind you are, how happy you are and how happy you laugh and talk, as soon as you enter the Guigu faction, you will become a dead man with a cold face and no smile.

The disciple of the Guigu faction led by him turned out to be a young man in his early twenties, he tried his best to wrinkle his face, as if he wanted to squeeze out a smile, and saluted back: "Junior brother Lin Yuehe, the disciple of Guiguzi who entered the room, can see the Taoist immortal face, and where it is rude, look at Haihan!"

The Taoist disciples were all shocked, and they immediately looked at the young man in front of them. It turns out that Guiguzi has been in charge of the Guigu faction for nearly three hundred years, has experienced countless disasters in heaven and earth, and has never been defeated. Xuanwu Zhenren retreated bravely, and since then, the immortal trail has been gone, leaving Guiguzi alone to sit big. Guiguzi is hundreds of years old, and he has long stopped accepting disciples, and the young people in front of him can be included in the Guiguzi gate wall, and his talent and cultivation can be imagined.

Ming Hao is more than 30 years old, but he is just a partial disciple, and through his unremitting efforts, he has been favored by the real person in charge of the teaching, and won the honor of leading the team on patrol. He was originally quite complacent, but at this time, compared with the other party, his talent goes without saying, even his identity is a little shorter, and his heart is envious, jealous, and hateful. After a long time, he pressed his emotions and said incorrectly: "It turned out to be a high-ranking disciple of Guiguzi's sect, disrespectful!

The two sides exchanged names and politely, but they were nothing more than false words and clichés such as long-term admiration and disrespect, which should not be taken seriously. Chongzhen eight people, headed by Ming Hao, are brothers of the same sect and different divisions. And the Guigu faction has four people, led by Lin Yuehe, and the other three are his nephews. The three disciples of the Guigu Sect were all in their thirties and forties, but they wanted to call Lin Yuehe their uncle, and Lin Yuehe and the Daoist family were called brothers, which made it difficult for them to get along with themselves. While Ming Hao sighed to himself, he couldn't help but mourn in silence for the three of them. However, the disciples of the Chongzhen Sect did not dare to seriously claim to be their uncles.

When the female Taoist priest was introduced, Lin Yuehe's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he paid a little more attention, which was quite strange. The female Taoist is called Jingshu, and she is the closed disciple of Changdan Zhenren, and she is also the only female disciple under it. There are not a few female disciples of the Chongzhen Sect, but Changdan Zhenren is the law enforcement of the Chongzhen Sect, in charge of the criminal law, and is extremely protective of the shortcomings, and among the disciples, he loves this female disciple the most. Chongzhen's disciples are all extremely intelligent people, so they naturally know the special features of this Jingshu. And a year ago, Jing Shu participated in the five-year martial arts competition of the Chongzhen Sect, fought nearly 100 battles, and won the championship in one fell swoop, which made it rise and become a hot big man, as Lin Yuehe said: "Jingshu's senior sister is heroic in the sky, winning a hundred battles, women do not let the eyebrows, the prestige spreads far and wide, like thunder, long admiration, long admiration, long admiration!"

After saluting each other, Lin Yuehe said: "The younger brother has little experience, and he has never been to a place outside Jizhou. Hearing that the beast tide was unprecedented, the little brother was itchy for a while, and came to have fun, one to appreciate the Taoist style, and the other to increase his knowledge. On the way, it is indispensable to bother all the senior brothers, and the little brother has thanked me in advance!"

Seeing the humility of what he said, the Chongzhen disciples hurriedly said that they did not dare to take it. I thought in my heart: "Who said that the disciples of the Guigu Sect are not sophisticated, this Lin Yuehe is very sophisticated." But looking at the appearance of the three teachers and nephews, their eyes were empty, their faces were pale, and their lips were pursed tightly, as if they were afraid of running away from the wind, and suddenly thought: "The world is really right, this Lin Yuehe is just an outlier." ”

After a while, there was nothing more to say. While everyone was thinking hard about how to maintain the harmony of the scene, a loud roar was suddenly heard from the north. Ming Hao was shocked: "Could it be that the beast tide has already arrived here?" Not to be outdone, the rest of the people followed from behind.

Twelve meteors pierced the sky, and they traveled thirty miles in a few breaths. When the second roar is heard, the source of the sound has been reached. Looking down from the sky, everyone was shocked to see the tragic situation of the small village. A Chongzhen disciple murmured sadly: "It's still a step too late!" Ming Hao's face turned pale, and he pondered: "The master of the sect is watching the sky at night, and he has already learned the news of the attack of the beast tide in advance, we have come all the way without delay, why is it still too late? Moreover, there are still a hundred and ten miles away from the Great Wilderness Mountain Range, how can it be so fast? There are still a few mountain villages in the north, is it ......?"

One person exclaimed: "Senior Brother Minghao, is that the beast king of the Great Wilderness Mountain, the White Tiger?" When everyone heard this, they woke up from their grief and found the white tiger in the beast herd. Ming Hao's face changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "Yes, I heard from Master that the White Tiger is a unique alien species in the Great Wilderness Mountain, and there is no second one. He took a deep breath and said, "The White Tiger has been cultivating for thousands of years, and its mana is boundless, this mission has exceeded our ability, everyone be careful and not clash with it head-on." All the disciples were also shocked in their hearts, and they all nodded yes. But I heard Jingshu say slowly: "Is the child saved or not?"

Ming Hao also noticed the beggar outside the village, and first wondered: "How can there be a beggar in Yongzhou?" My heart was tight, I felt very contradictory, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while, so I said a few words "this", but there was no follow-up.

At the last moment, human life is at stake, how can there be a little hesitation?

Jing Shu said solemnly: "It is my duty to help the world and save people!" said as he drew his sword in his hand and swooped down.
