"Daddy!" the flower girl cried out happily, spreading her four thin legs and running over.

The old man caressed and comforted her on the back of her neck before leading her to Yu Tianlai.

"Why do you want to thank Daoyou? Poor Dao Yu came to the sky and saw Daoyou. "Yu Tianlai is a courtesy.

This old man called himself "Zhang Zhao", and the "Zhang" person "Zhang" also secretly explained his origin. Yu Tianlai had already confirmed that the old man in front of him was not a divine soul manifestation but a body, and he also knew that this was actually a great demon who formed an inner pill and was able to transform into a human form. And now he can't see through this old man's cultivation, it can be seen that the other party should not be the first to enter the realm of Jindan, but he has not cultivated the nine transformations of Jindan to the first few transformations.

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to salute him, Zhang Zhao didn't dare to hold it up, although he could see that the other party was new to the realm of Jindan, and he was still a few chips weaker in the realm, but just looking at the means of this person to kill General Wu Ling, he knew that his strength could never be measured in the realm. At that moment, he also returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Daoist friends are polite, how dare you be old?"

After the ceremony was completed, Zhang Zhao first took the initiative to report his heels: "Don't hide it from fellow Daoists, the old man practiced in this mountain as a different body, and it took more than 500 years to get lucky to get married and transform into a Dan, and he practiced for another 200 years and then went to Jindan for the second turn." But you don't know that you often practice on that famous mountain?"

Yu Tianlai's bizarre life experience, it is not enough to be an outsider, and he immediately lied that he was practicing on an overseas desert island, and a few years ago he was lucky to form a golden pill, and then he was very quiet, so he entered the world to accumulate good deeds.

Zhang Zhao was not suspicious, and invited Yu Tianlai to be a guest in his seclusion at that time.

Yu Tianlai also had some questions to ask the other party, so he agreed to come down smoothly.

At that moment, Zhang Zhao and Hua Guzi's father and daughter were in front, Yu Tianlai and Feixue master and apprentice followed, and walked more than ten miles in the mountains together, and a cliff appeared in front of them.

Zhang Zhao raised the quinoa staff in his hand and pointed towards the cliff, and a few zhang square meters disappeared out of thin air, revealing a deep tunnel.

He turned back to Yu Tianlai and said: "Fellow Daoists, please come in, this is the seclusion of the old family of three, inside is a mountain col surrounded by mountains, because the terrain resembles a gourd, so the old name is 'gourd pass'." ”

The group then walked along the tunnel, walked more than 200 steps, and a small col appeared in front of them. This col is large at both ends and narrow in the middle with the change of the surrounding mountains, and it is indeed like a gourd shape.

"It's really a blessed place!" Yu Tianlai sighed softly.

His mind was extremely sharp, and as he walked through the tunnel, he had already noticed that there was a huge formation inside. The power contained in this array is huge, and even now he faintly has a sense of depression. But he also sensed that this formation should be mainly defensive. If it was really a killing formation, he would not feel suppressed but threatened, and he would never easily step into this mountain col.

In the open space in the middle of the mountain col, seven or eight thatched huts were built, and some peaches, plums, pines and cypresses were planted around, which was quite quiet and elegant.

Zhang Zhao said to the flower girl beside him: "Daughter, go and call your mother to come out to greet the distinguished guests first." “

The flower girl agreed, and the four hooves ran briskly to the hut, and went through the door.

Not long after, an old woman with a kind face walked out of the door with a flower girl, and smiled at Yu Tianlai who came close with Zhang Zhao: "The distinguished guest is here, the old body has never been far away, and there is a lot of neglect, please forgive me." “

Yu Tianlai had already seen that this old woman was a manifestation of the soul rather than the body, and hurriedly returned the courtesy: "The old lady is polite, how dare you be poor?"

After some greetings, Zhang Zhao invited Yu Tianlai to master and apprentice. Yu Tianlai asked him to wait outside because of Feixue's huge body. Zhang Zhao also asked the flower girl to stay outside to entertain her little friends.

Yu Tianlai followed Zhang Zhao into a thatched hut in the middle of the place, and sat down as the guest and the host. Hua Guzi's mother took out two servings of fruit and vegetarian wine, one for Yu Tianlai, and the other for Feixue outside.

After Zhang Zhao saluted Yu Tianlai for a few glasses of wine, he solemnly apologized to Yu Tianlai, saying that he had no way to teach his daughter, which not only delayed Feixue's practice, but also involved him in this disaster today, almost causing evil consequences.

Yu Tianlai said a few polite words, and then took the opportunity to ask about the origin of General Wuling.

Zhang Zhao sighed and said: "Good Taoist friends learned that there is a fan cliff more than 100 miles west of the gourd pass of the old decay, and there is a hole called 'Jiupan Cave' under the cliff, and there is a master in the cave called 'Water Three Niangzi', which is a green-scaled water snake cultivated into refinement. This demon also has the cultivation of Jindan Erzhuan, and hundreds of snake demons have gathered under her subordinates, and General Wuling is the first capable general under her.

"It turns out that although the third lady of the water has always been domineering, she has been practicing for some years, and she is a little jealous in her heart, so the two families are safe. Until more than ten years ago, the third lady of the water found out that there was a strange treasure in the gourd of the old decay, and finally turned her face and forcibly took it after several requests. The old decay is not good at fighting, and secondly, it is not as powerful as the other party, so he can only rely on the geographical advantage to defend it behind closed doors, which can be regarded as barely maintaining an undefeated situation. “

Yu Tianlai understood a little and asked, "Today, General Wuling said that he wanted to capture Ling Ai alive, and he thought that he was going to extort treasures from Zhang Lao as a hostage?"

Zhang Zhao said helplessly: "The little girl is still young, impatient with loneliness and ignorance of interests, so she sneaked out to play while the old couple was in retreat. If it weren't for the timely action of the Taoist friends, I am afraid that it has fallen into the hands of the three ladies of the water at this moment, and the old man really doesn't know what to do. ”

Yu Tianlai said with a smile: "I see, this is also a deep love and blessing, so that we can be auspicious." ”

After saying this kind remark that did not have half nutrition, he closed his mouth and said no more, just looked at the other party with a smile.

Zhang Zhao saw that he had obviously provoked the conversation, but the other party didn't seem to have the slightest curiosity, so he had to take the initiative to speak: "Do you know what treasure the third lady wants is here?"

Yu Tianlai waved his hand and said: "This is a secret matter in the elder's family, how dare the poor Dao ask?"

Zhang Zhao saw that the other party was talking and doing things without leakage, and knew that it would be useless to go around the bend again, so it was better to be honest, so he said: "The old man invited Daoyou to come this time, which is related to this treasure, so naturally Daoist friends should be made clear first." ”

Yu Tianlai said: "Since this is the case, the poor Dao is willing to hear the details." ”

Zhang Zhao said: "In this Huashan, there is an extremely ancient legend. It is said that in the early years, there was a snake and a scorpion in this mountain, and two peerless demon kings were dominant, not only treating humans within a radius of thousands of miles as a random feast on blood food, but also enslaving and driving all demon clans. Later, there was a heaven and earth spiritual root gourd vine in this mountain that was transformed into a Tao, but it was transformed into seven teenagers from the seven gourds on the vine. These seven teenagers are not only powerful in cultivation, but also each have a natural supernatural power, and the seven brothers are all different bodies and concentric, and the power of joining forces is unstoppable.

"The two demon kings of snakes and scorpions don't want others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch, and secondly, I don't know where I heard that if these seven brothers are captured and refined, they can get a 'Seven Heart Pill', and if they take it, they can integrate the talents of these seven brothers and be invincible in the world. Therefore, the two demon kings preemptively attacked the seven brothers and set off a big battle in this Huashan. The details of this battle are now unknown, but it is known that the last two demon kings were banned and suppressed by the seven brothers who gave up their own efforts, and the result was a defeat for both sides.

"Because it's so old, even those of us who practice it often regard it as a story. But when the old man accidentally crashed into this gourd col three hundred years ago, he found a seven-colored gourd vine, which looked like the legendary thing, and another gourd had already grown on the vine!"
