Niu Renhe went out early in the morning and saw that it was already raining outside. The rain was all black, with ash and the smell of burning. Niu Renhe took the Lisa out of the house, and there were many strange peasants in the village, pushing carts, leading livestock, and carrying all kinds of things, and when they asked, they learned that it was a village close to the mountains and wilderness that had fled, and that there was a fire in the mountains, and several villages fled overnight for fear of being affected. Niu Renhe thought about it, and realized that it was something that the prince asked Wang Erwu and others to do last night, so he left the village and transported the art of flying immortals to the mountains and wilderness.

As soon as I entered the mountains, I saw that everything was scorched, stretching for dozens of miles, without a little life, and the rain washed away, and many black ashes gathered with the current, filling the low-lying places. In many places there were still fires burning, and even the rain had not been extinguished. Charred carcasses of wild beasts are common, but fortunately it is winter, and many animals have hibernate in the soil to escape. After walking for a while, he saw the corpses of many people, and Niu Renhe expected that it was the team of officers and soldiers who went into the mountain to replenish the demons. And the corpses of the demons are scattered in the mountains, everywhere, it is estimated that there will be thousands of demons in this mountain, Niu Renhe couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't think that there were so many demons in this mountain.

The mountains and wilderness stretch for thousands of miles, and the rain in the sky can cover them all. After walking a short distance, the rain was gone, and he saw a mountain blazing with fire, and it was difficult for the flying immortals to cross the past in the sky, Niu Renhe thought that there was a friend in the mountains, and he was worried about his safety, so he looked for a way to the past from the edge of the fire.

Let's say that this mountain field is so extensive, next to several state cities, many passes, countless villages and towns, this fire with the wind everywhere, burned for more than half a month before gradually extinguished, there are still sporadic mountain fires still burning and even lasting for several months, often there are villages that think that the fire will not burn to this disdain, suddenly caught off guard by the wind to send a wildfire, burn houses, livestock, everyone escaped from their homes, or rebuild, or even their families to the cottage king. Around the mountains, people are terrified.

Recently, most of the officers and soldiers of the Beiguancheng military camp were in the mountains to encircle and suppress demons and look for fugitives, and several of the general's right-hand men, as well as the staff officer of the think tank, were all burned to death in the mountains. This alone caused the general's power to decline somewhat, and the general was furious about it, and had no choice but to have a serious illness. Because of this fire, many officers and soldiers were transferred to several state towns and several important towns near the cutting down of trees, ditches to cut off the fire, and the barbarians outside the border took advantage of this to harass the border one after another, and the troops were out, and many cottage righteous soldiers sent troops to obstruct them, and the barbarians were mostly repulsed, taking advantage of this momentum, but many cottages were strengthened.

The two or five leaders of the king took advantage of this to recruit more people, and the Beiguan army was destroyed, no one could limit it, their power suddenly grew very strong, many people ran to defect, and even the uprising team of the Central Plains came to worship each other and establish relations. There are also several sects that practice martial arts in the mountains and wilderness, the ancestral hall residence is burned by the mountain fire, and many masters and apprentices have no more convenient place to go down the mountain.

Besides, this Niu Renhe, found some tortuous roads from the mountain fire, and went deep into the mountains, just to find his friend, who was a Hongjia Master who lived in seclusion in the mountains to practice, escaped from the world in his early years and devoted himself to cultivation, quite enlightened, Niu Renhe often preached with him, and gained many correct views from him, enlightened many thoughts, and also had more compassion. Along the way, looking at the charred corpses of the fire, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and prayed for them with his hands, but forgot that the more than 20 officers and soldiers who were killed by his plot a few days earlier did not have any mercy at that time.

In the wildfire, Niu Renhe found a road, which had not been walked before, and it was an old horse road. After walking all morning, the sun was shining, and I felt very tired, and when I turned around a burning mountain, I suddenly saw a dilapidated post station, but there was no fire, which was very strange. He stopped in front of the door, pushed the door in, and felt that it was very cool inside. Suddenly, a mule barked, and Niu Renhe was taken aback and found that there were still people. It was a young man with unkempt hair, sitting in a place where the light shone in from outside, his hands were scratching wildly in his clothes, pulling lice and fleas on his body, and then he looked up at the person who came in, revealing his face full of pockmarks.

Niu Renhe felt even more strange, he didn't know why this ugly young man was in the deep mountains, thinking that the fire outside was about to burn to this station, and he felt dangerous. And he saw the mule barking at him, and the burden around the young man, a wooden sword, and a gourd, and a pocket. Suddenly understood, "This son, are you the apprentice of that Dragon and Tiger Daoist?"

The young man was also surprised, he didn't think that this person actually knew his master, he opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly remembered the master's instructions, and couldn't speak.

Niu Renhe laughed, "You must be that Yin Longyang, you can speak, I am the person your master asked you to find." I saw the mule neighing at me, and I recognized it. Niu Renhe bowed his head and spoke to the mule, "Are you Yang Yuan?

Yin Longyang was overjoyed when he heard this, "Great, I've been suffocated to death these days! This mule won't leave here, it turns out that it's waiting for you to come." Do you recognize this mule?"

"Of course I recognize it, this is what I raised him since I was a child, named Yang Yuan, and the Dragon and Tiger Dao people saw that he was smart and took it away, but he didn't think that he would really return it to me. ”

"That's right, his name is Yang Yuan. The master asked me to give you this wooden sword when I saw you. Yin Longyang handed him the wooden sword, Niu Renhe took it and waved it a few times in his hand, but he didn't see anything special, and put it in his backpack. "By the way, there's my mask. Yin Longyang reached out to tear the mask on his face, but he couldn't take it off, and suddenly became anxious and panicked, "What can I do about this?" ”

Niu Renhe went over to take a look, took out a bottle from his pocket, sprinkled some potions everywhere, sprinkled it on his face, stretched out his hand and tore it off, but in front of him was a beautiful young man, completely different from the pockmarked face. Niu Renhe shook his head and put away his mask with a smile, thinking, "What a delicate son, that Dragon and Tiger Daoist sent you to me to suffer, but I don't know what to think." ”

Niu Renhe asked him again, "How did you get here?"

Yin Longyang said, "This mule took me here, and the mule didn't leave for a few days, and I didn't dare to walk around, so I could only suffocate here, it was really dirty here, and there were a lot of small insects, and I was really wronged." By the way," Yin Longyang kept on the wall inside, "There are still a few dead cats on the desk, and they don't look like they're dead, and their bodies are not rotting like they are alive, which is really strange." ”

Niu Renhe listened to him, and he was in tune with the son who didn't know the world. "That must be the tanuki used by the demon when he practiced, and after receiving the demonic qi of the demon, the corpse will have to wait for a while before it can rot. Is this going well?"

"It's okay, it's just that the day before I got here, I met some officers and soldiers, and the mule was shot and wounded by a hateful officer and soldier......" Yin Longyang told what happened to the officers and soldiers, the demons, and the three sons that day.

Niu Renhe listened to it interestingly, but he was very annoyed by the officers and soldiers who shot and wounded the mule, so he asked Yin Longyang to talk about what kind of officers and soldiers he was like. Let Yin Longyang describe the three salaries again, and Niu Renhe also knows that it is Sima Weiguang's three people.

Niu Renhe chatted with Yin Longyang for a while, and he had enough rest. He called Yin Longyang to come out of the house, and took Yin Longyang and the mule with the technique of turning into a flying immortal, and continued to rush forward. That Yin Longyang didn't know the situation outside at all in the post station, but he felt funny when he saw the fire in the mountain, "This is the legendary Flame Mountain?"

Niu Renhe listened to Yile and thought that he really had no experience in the world, and said with a smile, "To say, this is really a flame mountain." ”

The two set off and walked through the fire, and Yin Longyang was scared again, "Fire, fire, fire is going to burn me!" Niu Renhe laughed a few times, and didn't care about him. Niu Renhe followed the road that could be walked, and walked back and forth for most of the day. Almost to the mage's realm, the fire hasn't burned here yet. At this moment, I saw many people fighting in front of me. Niu Renhe put away the Flying Immortal Technique, let Yin Longyang and the mule behind, and secretly leaned over by himself.

I saw four warrior monks holding sharp blades around a young man in the middle and fighting each other. Those warrior monks were all strong, all wearing chain mail, but the young man was only dressed in plain clothes, holding swords in both hands, delicately dodging, and his posture was very chic, and he did not show weakness when dealing with the four warrior monks. Niu Renhe couldn't help but cheer for him, watched attentively, suddenly heard the footsteps behind him, and looked back to see that two more monks were holding knives, "Who are you?" Another monk said in a low voice, "Presumably, it is also the same party of the thief monk in the mountain, and he was slashed with a knife." ”

As soon as Niu Renhe heard it, he knew that these people had come to the mountains to arrest Master Hongjia, and he had heard Master tell him that he had practiced in a temple in the Central Plains and had witnessed bad things and was hunted down for his life. At this time, Niu Renhe was inconvenient to use the art of flying immortals, and he was not good at kung fu, and when he saw that he was going to be poisoned by these people, he hurriedly turned his mind. "I am the military advisor under the seat of the general, and the troops surrounded and suppressed the demons in this mountain, but I encountered a fire and separated from the army, only our team of more than forty soldiers, dare to ask where is this?"

The two monks wondered, "Twenty soldiers, where are those people?"

Niu Renhe smiled, "They're all behind, I'll come here and give a little hand." You are strong men who practice martial arts in the mountains, are the few in front of you competing in martial arts?"

The two monks gave up their hands, thinking that there would be so many soldiers that they would be in trouble, and they also laughed, "Yes, yes, we are fighting here." This place is ......" "We don't know, we're from another hill. ”

"Then can we spend the night in the treasure land, and just eat and drink casually. Niu Renhe said with a smile.

The two monks bowed their hands again, "You wait here, let's go over and ask the master." After saying that, the two men went to the other side of the fight.

Niu Renhe thought that their stupid brains had been deceived so easily, and he was still looking over there, paying more attention to his surroundings.

Besides, the young knight became more and more courageous the more he fought, and he did not lose to the four monks at all. The two monks ran over and said something to a warrior monk standing next to them. The warrior monk looked at Niu Renhe, beckoned the others, withdrew, and retreated. The young knight chased a few more steps before stopping, stood there with his sword in hand, and suddenly fell.

Niu Renhe was startled, called Yin Longyang behind him, and ran over there.
