In order to prevent the iron horsemen of many nomads in the Northern Desert from stepping into the Central Plains and invading the Han people, there are many cities in the northern frontier of the Northern Desert and the hinterland of the Central Plains to defend the frontier, and the Baicheng built on a small mountain range is one of them.

On this day, the weather was clear, with a golden sun embedded in the blue sky, and a white cloud like a lone sail on the blue sea floating in the clear sky. The clear blue sky was cloudless and as clear as jasper.

Above the lively market in the White City, there are stalls made of broken straw mats everywhere, pedestrians dressed in shabby linen clothes come and go in the streets of the White City, and children occasionally play and run by.

A young Taoist priest dressed in a tattered robe embroidered with a strange five-element gossip pattern on it, and a young Taoist priest who set up a stall in the market was being chased and played by a group of children.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't move, don't move, don't move my medicine, what are you doing", the young Taoist priest seemed to be being tricked by these bear children, and he was in a hurry for a while.

"We're going to hear the story," the group of bear children said in unison, glancing at each other as if they had been rehearsed.

"I know you want to do this, good, good, good, I'll tell you a story. Today, I'm going to tell you a story about a demon, a demon who looks like a human and speaks like a human being, and you can't see it when you stand in front of you. Demons, the most demagogic, you have to do whatever he wants you to do, you still think you are willing, but in fact, you are bewitched by his witchcraft and fall into evil. Then, it will eat your heart", the young Taoist priest said with a frightened face and a rich expression to the bear children who were pestering him.

Suddenly, taking advantage of a child's inattention, he snatched the hot baked cake in his hand, put it in his mouth, and devoured it, without giving them a chance to react, and ate it in three bites.

"Do you know what it's called? It's called a Demon Seeker. Wherever there is a demon, it will shine there! Do you know why a demon wants to harm people? Because a demon has no heart, only a demon spirit! It must eat people's hearts in order to ensure that its human form remains unchanged. Then continue to harm people! When the time comes, you will have to come and beg me!" When the young Taoist priest was talking about demons, he held a strange green bottle in his hand, and he also scared these children from time to time, but the children didn't seem to believe that there were demons in this world.

"The demon is coming", one of the children suddenly hid a kitten with a circle of chicken feathers around his neck behind him, and threw it into the arms of the young Taoist priest.

The young Taoist priest was taken aback suddenly, as if he did not see clearly that the child threw him a harmless kitten, so he threw the innocent kitten aside, and jumped up in fright.

At this time, the children snatched the things from the young Taoist priest's stall and then scattered and fled.

"What are you doing, what are you doing, come back, come back to me, don't run around", the young Taoist priest seemed to be angry, chasing after the children who had snatched his things and wanted to run away.

In the end, the young Taoist priest did not catch up with any of them, so he had to return to his stall in despair.

"It turned out that Uncle Pang Lang, who was famous in the Zhengyi Sect of Longhu Mountain, would pretend to be a young man to deceive in this market, and he was also played by a group of children. If I hadn't seen this with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have imagined that Uncle Pang Lang would do such a boring thing when he was so old", a voice with respect and a hint of mockery in his tone suddenly reached the ears of this young Taoist priest.

"Oh, who am I? It turned out to be two little girls from Taizhen Palace, how could there be a person who practiced Buddhism exercises that seemed to be specious, could it be that you two little girls went down the mountain and thought about spring, and actually left a man by their side. Poor Dao knows that all of you in the Taizhen Palace are women, but there are no men, I really don't know where you found such a man. However, that's not right, you are Sichun, and you should be looking for a burly and strong figure to withstand your toss. You found this little white-faced scholar, or you have practiced Buddhism, it's not reliable. ”

This young Taoist priest named Pang Lang swept his eyes and knew who was coming. He picked up a wine jug from the stall without paying attention, and while drinking, he teased the visitor with his mouth, and his face became cynical in front of the original dejection. The ones who came were Zhou Yan, Duan Qi and Xiuna, as for why the three of them appeared in Baicheng, in the final analysis, it was actually because of Duan Qi and Xiuna.

Before, they had gone through a series of trips, and their original intention was to go directly to the Northern Desert, so as not to cause more trouble on the way. However, I didn't expect that yes, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and when they passed by the sky above this white city, they actually felt the slightest trace of the demonic aura of the fairy-level demon clan in the white city, and this demonic aura with the cultivation of the fairy-level immortal realm was released without concealment, so Zhou Yan and others, who were far above the clouds, sensed it.

You must know that in the human world, after many battles with the demon clan in the cultivation world, the consensus reached is that the demon clan above the immortal level cannot appear in crowded places, such as the towns and cities of the human race, and the immortal demon clan is not allowed to enter at all. Those who violate the regulations must be expelled or killed by anyone in the spiritual world. Whether it is the Black Wind King who was righteous and cloudy before, or the extremely vicious Pig Gangguan, their demon caves are all built in the inhabited mountains.

And Zhou Yan and the others actually sensed the breath of the immortal-level demon clan in this densely populated city this time, which was really bearable, which was unbearable. Duan Qi's thoughts of subduing demons and destroying demons and saving the world instantly swelled up rapidly in his heart, and Xiuna on the side not only stopped Duan Qi's behavior, but this time she stood on the same front with her, so when Zhou Yan really couldn't stop the two of them, they had to compromise, and the three of them quietly entered this white city. Moreover, Duan Qi inadvertently noticed Pang Lang's outfit in this market, and found out that he was originally a master of Pang Lang who liked to play the world and experience life in the cultivation world under the perception of his own Yuanshen, and this is why he now recognizes each other.

"Senior Uncle Pang Lang, you are starting to disrespect the old again, what nonsense, this fellow Daoist is a senior brother who is also an immortal level cultivator in the cultivation world that our senior sister met by chance on the way here this time. Because he is kind and cultivated, so our senior sisters invited him to go on the road together", hearing this Uncle Pang Lang's nonsense, Xiuna's cheeks suddenly turned red, like a ripe apple. She first secretly glanced at Zhou Yan, and found that Zhou Yan's gaze did not fall on her, but instead stared at Uncle Pang Lang with great interest. I didn't know whether I was disappointed or happy, so I quickly explained.

"In the next junior Zhou Yan, I have seen Pang Lang's predecessors", Zhou Yan found that this seemingly ordinary Taoist priest actually saw through his cultivation mana at the moment of meeting, and found that his cultivation of the Great Ri Exclusive Kalachakra Exercise belonged to the Buddhist exercises, and knew in his heart that the strength of this Taoist priest should not be underestimated, and hurriedly walked a Taoist etiquette learned from the Bodhi Patriarch in his previous life towards Pang Lang Zheng'er's eight classics, and said respectfully.

"Hehehe, there aren't many younger generations in the cultivation world now. For the sake of these two little girls, I will accept your gift, our five major sects are in the same spirit, and you can follow them and call me Uncle in the future. Also, young man, how do you practice Buddhism and practice the etiquette of Taoist worship in ancient times, I don't know where you learned the etiquette of ancient Taoism, can you tell me about it, you can rest assured that I will not tell others, maybe your master still has some connection with our Zhengyi Sect, you must know that our Zhengyi Sect is very researched in Taoism", seeing that Zhou Yan actually performed a Taoist etiquette in ancient times, Pang Lang was suddenly a little interested in this.

You know, since Qin Shi Huang unified Kyushu and set the world, he personally ordered the burial of the glory of the ancient era of the cultivation world, and few people in the cultivation world today know and use the Taoist worship of the ancient era. Therefore, Pang Lang suddenly became a little interested in Zhou Yan's teachership, and he really didn't know which one of the great powers who survived from the ancient times taught him.

"This, before letting the juniors go out of the mountain, the junior master sternly warned the juniors, so that the juniors could not reveal any news about themselves to others, and I also ask Uncle Pang Lang to forgive me for this", Zhou Yan said with a wry smile. What Taoist worship in ancient times, how can this kind of thing be clear to himself, who knows that the Bodhi Patriarch handed him this kind of Dongdong, it seems that next time it is better not to show it easily, if you accidentally miss it, it will not end well.

"What, it's really a disappointment, and it's an old guy who can't see anyone, alas! Do you know that it's been so long since that incident, why are you still reluctant to come out one by one? Since you can't say it, then I won't embarrass you, but don't show my petty family's temperament." Pang Lang suddenly lost interest.

"Okay, okay, Senior Uncle Pang Lang, why are you here, shouldn't you go to the Northern Desert now? That incident is the participation of our five major sects, don't tell me you don't know about that incident", Duan Qi asked strangely.

"Then why are you here, don't tell Lao Dao, you are because you are greedy and want to come to this market to buy something to eat", Pang Lang smiled slightly, and did not respond to Duan Qi's question, but asked Duan Qi instead.

"We came here because we felt a trace of the demonic aura of the Immortal Demon Clan here, could it be that you also appeared here because of this?", Duan Qi suddenly thought.

"That's right, congratulations on your correct answer, the children can be taught, but it's a pity that I don't have any reward for you," Pang Lang said.

"Then since Uncle Shi came before us, I don't know if you have discovered anything, Uncle Shi, what is the identity of this monster, and what is the purpose of his coming here", Duan Qi asked again and again.
