The group of four had just bypassed the south of the city and were about to turn north to go to the Taoist temple, when they heard someone shouting from a distance: "Daoist friends ahead, please stay!" Thirty or forty monks appeared on the high ground just now, and from the appearance of their clothes, it seemed that four branches from different places had temporarily put together.

The young man was slightly surprised, but Sister Su and the Lingkong Dao Leader were not surprised, Sister Su said: "They should have teamed up to kill Hejiao, hehe, look at the people, and then think about us, like our team yesterday is simply a plate of loose sand, fortunately it is scattered, otherwise it is not shameful." ”

"It's really extraordinary, extraordinary, but the poor road still has self-knowledge, and he is satisfied if he can do his duty to send his hometown father and elder on the road, and there will be no delusion of slaying the dragon. The Spirit Sky Dao Master said self-deprecatingly.

"This Daoist, please!" The first young monk, handsome and with a kind smile, stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Shen Chengyue, a disciple of Jinyu Mountain in Lower Western Shu, was ordered to come with his fellow disciples to collect the evil Jiao, this is Feng Ziqing sent by the Western Shu Kingdom, Senior Brother Feng, this is Lei Zhen sent by the Great Xia Kingdom, Lei Shaoxia, this is Ji Yiyun of the Northern Hades Palace of Great Xia, Senior Sister Ji. We have followed in your footsteps, otherwise we don't know how many unjust roads we will have to take!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, please! Poor Dao Lingkong, that is the Taoist temple of Poor Dao. When the flood came, it happened to be out of the clouds, and when he learned that his hometown had suffered a disaster, he hurried back, hey, I didn't expect it to be such a scene!" "Thank you for your jealousy and hatred, come from thousands of miles away, on behalf of the late fathers and villagers of this county, thank you, all the way to the road, and please go to the Taoist temple to sit. After saying that, he gave a deep salute.

Everyone hurriedly returned the salute, glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Thank you, Daoist, this time we went to cut Jiao according to Haotian's will, and we were delayed for a long time on the road, so we need to rush over early, otherwise, I am afraid that other monks will take the lead, and we will run in vain, so we will not disturb Daoist Qingxiu." ”

is worthy of being the cutting-edge disciples of various sects, all of them are quite cultivated but sharp, and the Lingkong Dao Leader was suddenly startled, banging, and his face changed again and again.

"Young heroes, the future of this trip is dangerous, please be cautious, there are still some talismans in the poor road, please accept them, maybe you can deal with some evil things. After speaking, he took out a stack of dozens of talismans and distributed them to everyone, and took out four peach leaves and wrapped them in yellow table paper, gave them to the four people, and told them to hide them closely, and then turned around and left. At the moment of turning around, the young man clearly saw that the face of the Lingkong Dao had a sad face.

These people looked at each other, as if they were puzzled, but they still respectfully accepted them and said goodbye one by one.

Looking at their distant backs, the young man also pinched his fingers, and couldn't help but change his complexion. Sister Su asked puzzledly beside her, "Little brother, what's going on?"

"Sister, it's okay, it's just that they are going to be more auspicious this time. Otherwise, the Lingkong Dao Master would not have given away four peach leaves that he regarded as treasures at once. Sister, let's go to the Taoist temple!" The young man looked deeply at the backs that were about to disappear again, and said softly.

Clear the empty view, in the east of the city of a mountain half waist, three miles away from the city, the steps eighty-one, the traces of the flood only overflow the forty steps, and then up is the seven-story exquisite tower, the three clear halls, seven or eight fine houses, surrounded by green trees and bamboos, quiet and elegant.

There was no one in the temple, and the three disciples who stayed behind were all unknown, and the utensils were neatly arranged, and there was no temporary panic, let alone the chaos of escaping the flood and hiding here.

Although it had already arrived, seeing the empty Taoist temple, the Lingkong Taoist still sighed for a long time, and instructed the apprentices to pack up, clean up the room, and make incense in the main hall by himself, and received a message from the patriarch: A few fellow disciples and brothers can arrive in the afternoon, and remember not to leave the Taoist temple within three days.

The young man and Sister Su also followed the Taoist chief to pay homage to the main hall one by one, and then followed the young Taoist priest to the room prepared for them. Tonight, I still have to attract the yin spirit, but it is much more convenient to open the altar in the Taoist temple than outside. The Lingkong Daoist instructed everyone to rest early, pick up a futon by themselves, and wait for the brothers to come.

Sister Su asked the young man to carry the river demons to an empty room, the young man didn't know why, Sister Su smiled but didn't answer, and pushed the young man out of the door. Sacrifice three flying knives, one flying knife began to spin, such as a flying wheel, a flying knife rotated, such as a steel cone, a flying knife swinging back and forth like a planer, dismembered the river demon one by one, took off the demon pill, mussel shells, scales, crab shells, turtle shells, crab claws and other materials, these are all refined by the river demon for thousands of years, extremely strong. Then unified polishing and shaping, drilling, and busy.

The young man moved a futon to sit next to the Lingkong Daoist, and when he saw that the Lingkong Daoist was still immersed in sorrow, he comforted: "Daoist, when the flood recedes, the government will arrange for people to come to bury the corpses and relocate the people, after all, this place is strategically important. The county seat will be rebuilt soon. ”

"Xiao Xu, I'm not just for this, even if the county town is flooded, it can't all suffer. Nor will my three disciples die from the flood, which may simply be a cover-up. And those monks, all of them have evil omens on their faces, but they are evil disasters. The master instructed us not to leave the Taoist temple for three days, there must be some heavenly opportunities in it that refuse to be broken, but I know that I can't do anything about it. Lingkong Dao said melancholy, it is also fortunate that there is this young man, and his heart can be more steady.

"The spiritual fire Taoist will not let him leave the Taoist temple, could it be that the Taoist temple has any treasure?" The young man looked back and forth at the layout of the Taoist temple, and found that it was very similar to the layout of the Qingxu Temple in Yangqi Town, there were no walls, how could he feel safe in the Taoist temple?

Lingkong Daoist smiled slightly bitterly: "Xiao Xu, don't look at it, it is true that every Taoist temple has defensive means, this is the secret of our Taoism." Don't worry so much about children, go to the rest party, and maybe I need your help at night. ”

The young man was indeed sleepy, got up to say goodbye, and Sister Su was still busy in the house with the door closed, so she had to go to the room to practice, and at the same time recover her spiritual power and physique, and after an hour, she turned over and fell asleep deeply.

——————

"Hey, I'm still sleeping, the sun is about to set, wake up. Then he pinched his ear with one hand and pulled the boy out of bed.

The young man opened his eyes with difficulty, and a charming and enchanting face in the haze was smiling at him, the young man was embarrassed, and smiled: "Sister, why haven't you slept yet?"

"Stinky boy, I also know that I feel sorry for your sister, you can only sleep when you get up sister, there are more than a dozen old ways, and my sister can only be wronged and squeeze together with you. Sister Su lifted the boy up with a force.

The young man stood up very reluctantly, and heard a commotion in the main hall, "Ah, they are coming!

"Come back!" Sister Su shouted from behind.

"What?" The young man noticed that Sister Su was still holding a pair of colorful armor in her hand, "Sister, this can't be the shell of those river demons." How can it be so beautiful. ”

"That is, the thousand-year-old goblins have the magic power of change, these are the parts that the river demon has refined, but the temporary secondary defense armor, but there is no refining and attribute bonus, make do with it, how can your small body not have some defense. Sister Su said as she compared the armor to the young man's body. The inner layer of the armor is full of fish scales, eight mussel shells are broken into pieces to protect the joints, to the hole, the crab shell protects the waist and abdomen, and the turtle shell protects the front and back hearts. I don't know how I can polish it so smooth, I can't see the prototype at all.

"This armor, the advantage is that the weight is light, and the defense power is average, it's better than nothing, you still look strong in it, and it won't be the type that people are worried about bullying as soon as you come up. "Take off the mantle, put on the armor, and put the coat on.

"Thank you, sister, it fits well, but it's troublesome to wear and take off. The boy blushed a little, he really couldn't wear this armor so neatly by himself.

"Yes, when it is refined, you can wear it by yourself, hey, it's not a good material, don't bother with it, there will be good materials later!" Sister Su had a hint of melancholy.

When the young man came to the front hall, five altars had been set up in the square, and the seven Dao Masters and the Lingkong Dao Masters formed a circle and were practicing the formation, and the person controlling the formation was the Lingxu Dao Chief, who really rushed over from Yangqi Town. Looking back again, sure enough, Li Zucheng was busy working with a few young Taoist priests there.

The young man hurriedly stepped forward to greet Li Zucheng, and Zucheng said with a smile: "Boy, you can do it, Uncle Lingkong is a good compliment to you, you will watch from the side tonight, and watch us complete the introduction of all Yin Spirits! Your merits will not be less!"

Longgu Town, there have been one hundred and fifty monks, worthy of being the leaders of the younger generation of various sects, all of them are with wonderful roots and bones, and the wisdom of immortals has gathered, although they have all gone through a long journey, and they are all very excited.

Since everyone has the same goal, the leaders of each team get together, gather the information they have obtained about the river Jiao, and elect two temporary leaders to be responsible for the coordination, scheduling and arrangement of the entire operation. Shen Chengyue, a disciple of Jin Yushan, is extraordinary, kind, and recognized as the leader of Xishu and Great Xia, and he should be one of the leaders.

The other is Nie Shishuang of the Ziyu Gate of the Southern Wu Kingdom, who is a well-known innate cultivation physique in the southern part of the Shenzhou Boundary, twenty years old, Master Shuide Dao, is already in the late stage of foundation building, and is reluctant to step into the Jindan realm, and is said to be the strongest foundation building monk. He was also elected as one of the chiefs.

"Senior brothers, we have been quite tired after a long journey, it is not suitable for us to act today, so we should rest for one night, first, we are familiar with each other and understand each other, which is conducive to the cooperation of tomorrow's action; second, there are still some teams that may arrive one after another, so we will wait a little longer. Shen Chengyue looked around at everyone and said.

"I agree, we also have to roughly classify the defensive type, physical cultivation type, sword cultivation type, long-range attack type, and spell type, and each squad should act separately as well as arrange it in a unified manner, so that we can give full play to the advantages of the group, but we need to put aside the restrictions of the sect. Ziyu Gate Nie Shishuang said.

"I also agree with this, there are individual teams who are still hesitant, this is not good, I also suggest that we practice together tomorrow, after all, that river Jiao is equivalent to the Jindan realm, and there are a large number of water tribes under his hands, they are often fighting, more like an army. Shen Chengyue added.

"Yes, this time against the water tribe, we also have to consider ways to restrain them, how to lure them to the shore!" The Northern Hades Palace Ji Yiyun Dao, Ji Yiyun is better at planning, and along the way, Shen Chengyue and her discussed the strategy of dealing with Hejiao.

The leaders agreed, and the more they discussed, the more they felt their own shortcomings, and many people had delusional thoughts that their team would complete the beheading, under the analysis of these people, they couldn't help but feel ashamed, and everyone put away some unrealistic thoughts at the beginning, and began to admire and obey the arrangements and scheduling of these two temporary leaders.

Soon, a more detailed and complete combat deployment appeared on the paper, and everyone went back with confidence to communicate with their fellow doors, as if they had seen the corpse of the river Jiao who was beheaded tomorrow...
