Bluestone slabs, green willow shade, the scorching sun in the sky, the sound of cicadas.

Wang Fu wiped the table, squinted at the passers-by, and wiped his sweat with his sleeve from time to time. Although the scorching heat of noon is unbearable, this day is the best time for your own tea stall business. There is a small river three miles away in the east, the river is green, the people live according to the water, it has been here for hundreds of years, there is this Qinghe ancient town. The town is not large, but it is located at the important point of the trade road, and there are many business travelers. For them, there is nothing more comfortable in the heat than to sit in the shade of the willows and drink a bowl of herbal tea. In less than half an hour, Wang Fu collected hundreds of coppers.

The merchants in the tea stall drank tea while wiping their sweat, and only one person was special. It was a young man dressed in a Taoist robe, drinking the tea in the bowl unhurriedly, his expression was gentle, as if he was not affected by the heat at all, his robe was neat, and there was no trace of sweat on his face.

"Where did Xiao Dao Ye come from, his face is very raw. Wang Fu finished wiping the table and sat down opposite the young man in the Taoist robe.

"It turned out to be the shopkeeper, who came from Liuyang Mountain to Qinghe Town to visit friends. The young man in the Taoist robe put down the tea bowl and replied kindly.

Hearing this, Wang Fu solemnly respected: "The villain is clumsy! I don't know if the master is an immortal of the Qingxu Sect of Liuyang Mountain!"

"The shopkeeper is really distressed. Seeing that Wang Fu was about to kneel down with a plop, the young man in the Taoist robe hurriedly helped him up, "No, he is stupid, he failed to enter the Xuanmen, and the immortals never dare to be, but I am fortunate to have learned a few times at the foot of Liuyang Mountain to draw talismans to exorcise evil spirits." ”

Wang Fu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he still did not lose half of his respect: "Little Daoist can get the guidance of immortals, which is also a great opportunity." ”

The young man in the Taoist robe smiled slightly and asked, "Dare to ask the shopkeeper, after I arrived in Qinghe Town, I found that many families were doing funerals along the way, why is this?"

When Wang Fu heard this, his expression darkened: "Master Dao doesn't know, there are demons near the town." ”

"Demons?"

"Yes, the older generation said, it was the last time the demon tide, the immortals did not kill the demons, since the villain remembers, there have been strange murders in the town in the past 30 years, it used to be a few years before there was a death, but recently it has died several in succession, making people panic, everyone dare not go out at night, and there are fewer merchants who live in the store. ”

"But I don't know, how did these people who were killed by the demons die?"

Wang Fu frowned and smacked his lips, and there seemed to be palpitations on his face: "I don't know others, the eldest son of the old Han family on Dongjie was killed by demons through the window of my house three days ago. As he was walking down the street, a wicked wind blew, and I saw a gray shadow flashing, and such a young man, who was stronger than a scalper, fell straight to the ground, motionless. The next day I found out that he was dead, and when I heard that he died, his whole body was cold and his blood was dry!"

"The whole body is cold, and the blood is dry?" the young man in the Taoist robe frowned slightly, thoughtfully.

"Little Daoist, do you have any way to take this demon?"

The young man in the Taoist robe shook his head, "I am a little bit of Taoism, it is okay to deal with mountain spirits and wild monsters and passing ghosts, if this evil demon is really a fish that has slipped through the net in the demon tide, I am afraid that I have to invite the master of the Qingxu Sect to come." ”

"Liuyang Mountain is eight hundred miles away from here, and the immortals of the Qingxu Sect usually see the head and the tail of the dragon, where is it so easy to invite them. Maybe when the next demon tide comes, when the immortals go out of the mountain to subdue the demons, they can also take this evil thing by the way. Wang Fu sighed, stood up and went to wipe the other tables.

The Demon Tide, the Demon Tide. Just as the waters of the rivers and seas are subject to the power of the sun, moon and stars, and the tides rise and fall regularly, the evil demons outside the sky enter the world once every 40 years, slaughtering living beings and polluting the world. Fortunately, there are immortals in the world who cultivate and live forever, eliminate evil and kill demons, and maintain the world. The last time the demon tide entered the world was thirty years ago, when Wang Fu was still young and had no memory, but when he listened to the memories of the elders, he talked about how the immortals fought with the evil demons in order to protect the mortal world during the demon tide. However, although the immortals have great powers, they may not be able to wipe out the evil demons, and this evil demon in Qinghe Town is said to be the fish that slipped through the net during the demon tide.

Wang Fu took advantage of the fact that there was still a ray of afterglow in the sunset, packed up the tables and stools in the tea shop, and prepared to close and go home. The pedestrians on the street gradually thinned out at this time, leaving only three or two lonely passers-by to walk by, one of whom was Wang Fu's neighbor Lao Liu, who went to the nearby Woniu Mountain to collect medicine early in the morning, and came back when it was almost dark.

"Lao Liu, how is today's harvest? What kind of Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass have you picked?" Wang Fu walked over and said hello to Lao Liu. Normally, at this time, Lao Liu would only smile and say that there is, it is all some mountain ginseng and weeds, but today he frowned tightly and did not say a word, which is very abnormal.

"What's the matter, Lao Liu?" Wang Fu couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart when he saw him like this, "What happened to you on the mountain?"

"Shhhh I went up the mountain today and saw that the daughter of Wang Yuanwai's family died on the mountain, exactly like the eldest son of the old Chen family, and it is estimated that the evil demon did it!"

Wang Fu gasped: "Dead again? Is it really Miss Wang Yuanwai? When the evil demon harmed people before, Wang Yuanwai also went to the True Immortal Temple to ask for a talisman." ”

"What is the use of the talismans drawn by the Taoist priests of the Three Immortal Crowns, this evil demon, I think only the immortals of Liuyang Mountain can cure it. Lao Liu shook his head and sighed, and reminded Wang Fu, "It's too evil to let your family not go out these days." ”

"Yes, I'll tell her when I get back. Wang Fu nodded again and again.

The two walked and walked, but found that they felt an unusual chill behind them, and in the dog season, even if the wind blows at night, it will not be so cool. Wang Fu subconsciously looked back, but saw a gray demon wind sweeping from the end of the road in the distance behind him.

"Lao Liu, evil demon, run!" Wang Fu shouted, regardless of whether Lao Liu reacted or not, he pulled up his sleeve and ran forward. In order to escape for their lives, the two even tried their best to feed, but how could the human feet run through the wind, and in a blink of an eye, the gray shadow flew behind the two. Wang Fu only felt that his whole body was as cold as falling into an ice cellar, while Lao Liu on the side had a pale face with straight eyes and fell directly to the ground.

"Lao Liu!"

Wang Fu wanted to open his mouth to shout, but he couldn't say half a sentence with his tongue knotted, leaving only his eyes wide, and he watched the gray shadow go around Lao Liu, taking away all the blood on his body, and was about to come to his side.

"Where is the demon, pretend to be a ghost, and quickly appear with me in my original form!" A cold light crossed the night sky, nailed straight to the bluestone slab in front of Wang Fu, three feet into the ground, and the silver light burst out, scattering the gray demon wind for seven points, and faintly revealing a gray-robed human form inside.

With this cold light, a green-robed figure also fell, pulling out the long sword on the ground with his right hand, and pinching a few yellow Dao talismans with his left hand, it was the young man in the Taoist robe who was sitting in the tea shop drinking tea and chatting with Wang Fu during the day.

"The demons outside the sky are ruthless and desireless, no grass grows everywhere they go, and all the creatures they slaughter are turned into ashes. This fellow Daoist, am I right?" The young man in the Dao robe pointed at the human form in the demon wind in front of him, and sneered, "Daoist friend is also really smart, he actually disguised himself as an evil demon from outside the sky who slipped through the net in the demon tide to cover people's eyes and ears, and asked people to track it down, if it weren't for the successive troubles in the past few days, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy for me to catch the current." ”

"Hehe, the world has really changed. A little doll who built a foundation realm, holding a broken sword and a few paper talismans, dared to shake his majesty in front of my broken soul. The figure simply stopped hiding, and the gray demon wind around him slowly dispersed, revealing a tall and thin monk in a gray robe with a withered face.

"Even if you dare to come to my Qingxu Sect to hurt the heavens and harm reason, even if your cultivation is shallow, you should do your best to eliminate the demons and defend the Dao. ”

Wang Fu was relieved at this time, it turned out that this little Taoist master was really an immortal in the Qingxu Sect of Liuyang Mountain, and it turned out that the immortals of the Qingxu Sect did not leave it alone because of the high mountain and the long road in Qinghe Town. Now that the immortals are here, this evil demon will definitely be able to ambush them.

Soul Breaker's laughter was like a broken gong: "How can the righteous path do the best for a fool like you? No matter what, the monks of the Foundation Building Realm are much stronger than these mortals, so I will use your soul essence and blood to practice!" After saying that, he turned into a gray demon wind and rolled towards the young man in the Taoist robe.

The young man in the Taoist robe swept away Wang Fu who was stunned in place with one sleeve to prevent him from being affected, and the three Dao talismans in his left hand were activated at the same time, a cyan Yimu talisman turned into countless teng vines and wound towards the Broken Soul Child, a yellow Wutu talisman turned into a stone wall to set up layers of obstacles on the way of the Broken Soul Son, and a red Ding Fire Talisman turned into three fire snakes and shot towards the Broken Soul Son who turned into a demonic wind.

I saw a number of bloody claws stretched out from the demon wind of the Broken Soul Son, and in three or two clicks, the Yimu vines were torn apart and broken, and several layers of earth and stone walls could not block his way, and they were all shattered. The last three fire snakes were taken down by the Soul Breaker in the Demon Wind with a bloody claw with his bare hands. However, just as he took the fire snake, the young man in the Taoist robe raised his hand and shot a small black bead straight into the door in front of him. With a wave of the Soul Breaker's blood claw, he was about to dust off the black orb, but it suddenly exploded, with a loud bang, and the flames were everywhere, interrupting the Soul Breaker's momentum. When the smoke and dust cleared, the bloody claw of the right hand of the Broken Soul Son was blown to pieces. but the light of the sword has arrived,

"What is it?" Soul Breaker thought the orb was a hidden weapon, but he didn't expect it to explode, shocked and angry.

"Something that kills you!"

The young man in the Taoist robe raised his hand and shot out two black beads, and the Broken Soul Son hurriedly dodged to avoid the two beads. However, the beads did not explode, but were nailed straight into the wall behind the Broken Soul Son, and only then did he see clearly what black beads were, just two black stones.

"Boy, you're cheating!"

Before the Broken Soul Son could fully react, the sword light of the young man in the Dao robe had arrived, and a little cold sword came out like a dragon, and the sword qi just happened to be at the broken joint of the Broken Soul Son's blood claws, and once again the silver light burst out, instantly forcing the Broken Soul Son to retreat, and the sword wind of Siyi once again blew away the demon wind of the Broken Soul Son. The Broken Soul Son was in pain, and the claws were destroyed to fight back, and the Dao Robe Youth Sword Style, turned into a continuous stream of water, weaving a silver light net towards the Broken Soul Son.

The blood claws of the Broken Soul Son came out and grabbed the sword net, but under one blow, they failed to break through the net. "What kind of swordsmanship is this? There are a lot of kids, I don't kill nameless ghosts under the claws of my broken soul, and I report my name. ”

"His name is He Weiji. But it was not the answer of the young man in the Dao robe in front of the Broken Soul Son, but a clear female voice that sounded behind him, followed by a sharp thunder light!
