When it was said that the three poles were up, Ye Haotian left Yingzhou and came to Hanlin Courtyard, and sealed ten taels of silver to the gatekeeper, saying that he was a friend of Luo Kaishan, please check Lord Luo's residence. As the man walked inside, he muttered, "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, who is not resting at home? ”

Ye Haotian took the address, thanked the gatekeeper and turned to leave.

Luo Kaishan's home is not far away, in a quiet courtyard two or three miles away. Ye Haotian handed over the name post, and someone ran in to say goodbye. After a while, Luo Kaishan hurriedly walked over, grabbed Ye Haotian's hand, and said happily: "Brother Xian, why are you here!

Ye Haotian said with a smile: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the younger brother has nowhere to go, so he has to come to talk to the elder brother. ”

Luo Kaishan invited him in and sat down, and asked about what happened after parting.

Ye Haotian will go to work, kill thieves and build the city one by one. Luo Kaishan listened to it with relish, and suddenly sighed: "Alas, the foolish brother is here in a mess, like a walking corpse, I envy you!"

Ye Haotian asked, "But I don't know what the situation is in the imperial court?"

Luo Kaishan withdrew from his family and said in a low voice: "The emperor is still not self-contained in his old age, and he invited a few demons to worship them in the palace, saying that he wants to live forever and ignore the government every day. The power of the court fell into the hands of the eunuch Wang Xi and the eunuch Liu Heng. Now they are what they say, and no one dares to say a word. Last year, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu said a few words, hoping that the Holy Lord would respect Confucianism and stay away from Buddhism, but as a result, the whole door was infected with the plague, and no one survived, it was really miserable!" Speaking of this, Luo Kaishan couldn't hold his mouth, and the more he spoke, the more resentful he became, and finally punched the table, smashing the table to pieces.

Ye Haotian said: "Today's plan is only vanity and wrongdoing, Xu Tu has a good strategy." ”

Luo Kaishan tossed the broken table aside with his foot and said: "I think about it carefully, only by contacting all factions in the world and gathering many martial arts experts can it be possible to expel the demon Dao, and only by getting rid of the demon Dao first can I go to the Holy Shrine to clean up the court." ”

Ye Haotian shook his head and said, "It stands to reason that this method is good, but there are a few points that are not easy. First, the power of the demon is not small, maybe all the sects and factions have been infiltrated, and if it is not good, the decent people will be discovered by the other party before they are ready. Second, the various sects have always been closed and self-contained, busy with their own Qing cultivation, and it is difficult to persuade them to participate in the affairs of the imperial court; third, the demon dao skills are not trivial, and they are not equal to the opponents of idle martial arts masters, and reluctantly doing so will bring great casualties, which is the most important point. ”

Luo Kaishan understood that he was right, he was depressed in his heart, he couldn't help sighing, and said for a long time: "I heard that the prince is very virtuous, I hope he will ascend the throne as soon as possible, sweep away the demonic atmosphere, and govern the Qing Dynasty." ”

The two discussed for a long time. At the dinner, Ye Haotian met Luo Kaishan's newly married wife, who is said to be the daughter of the official department, who is dignified and beautiful, kind to others, and quite a family demeanor. Perhaps after listening to Luo Kaishan's story, she obviously had a good impression of Ye Haotian, and asked during the banquet: "I don't know if my uncle is married, if not, my sister-in-law may be able to help each other." ”

Ye Haotian politely declined: "Thank you sister-in-law for your kindness, my little brother comes and goes freely alone, and I don't want to get married yet." ”

Mrs. Luo smiled: "I have a younger sister, who is waiting in the boudoir, and she looks good. If my uncle wants to, I'll ask her to come over to see her. ”

Ye Haotian hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, don't, I really don't want to get married!

Mrs. Luo saw that he was resolute, so she didn't forget it.

After the dinner, Ye Haotian got up to say goodbye, saying that he would rush to Chang'an at night. Luo Kaishan knew that he was afraid of shocking the world, so he chose to hurry at night, so he didn't force him to stay. Mrs. Luo was very surprised, and said, "If you want to go, you will leave tomorrow, it's so late today, how can you still get on the road?"

Ye Haotian said: "It's okay, there is no one on the road at night, you can gallop on horseback." ”

Leaving Luofu, Ye Haotian went north against the wind, and flew more than a thousand miles with several ups and downs. As I was flying, it suddenly snowed heavily in the sky, making it very difficult to fly. He was so strained that he had to fall from the sky. It was only a matter of moments, and there was already a foot of snow on the ground.

Looking around, he found himself at the foot of a large mountain, with a house looming in the distance. He walked on the snow on tiptoe, and when he got closer, he found that it was a hut. stepped forward and knocked on the door, and from inside came an old woman's voice: "Who?"

Ye Haotian replied: "I am a passing Xiucai, because the road is closed by heavy snow, I can't walk, so I came to find a place to stay." ”

At this time, the door opened with the sound of "huh", and inside the door was an old woman with silver hair, with sideburns on the top, her remaining hair half hanging down, her clothes and a cane, her shape was strange, but her face was very kind, and she said: "Come in!"

Ye Haotian stepped in and found that there was a stove in the house, the stove was burning on fire, and there were bubbles in the pot, it turned out that the old mother was cooking.

The old mother asked, "Have you eaten?"

Ye Haotian bowed and replied: "I have already eaten." Let me help you light the fire. ”

The old mother just said "yes", and then continued to be busy, her mouth was full of words, her voice was very low, but the speed of speech was extremely fast.

Ye Haotian listened carefully, and suddenly was surprised in his heart: the old mother was not nagging for nothing, what she recited was actually a "Yellow Emperor Yin Fu Sutra"! Regarding this scripture, he had already memorized it well, so he understood it as soon as he heard it. But then his eyes widened! Because the old mother had recited far more scriptures than he knew, and the tone of the text had not changed in the slightest, and it was clearly a continuation of the known scriptures!

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a stranger to chant sutras!" he hurriedly gathered his ears and listened carefully, not daring to miss a word.

After chanting for half an hour, the old mother stopped.

At this time, Lan'er suddenly appeared, dressed in white and plain skirts, with a beautiful face, stepped forward to bow her head and bowed, and said, "Thank you for the completion of the old mother!"

Ye Haotian was still wondering why she came out?

The old mother asked Lan'er to get up, and said with a kind face: "Good boy, it's really hard for you! No one is a ghost, no ghost, no two have no support, so pitiful! I will pass on this scripture to you, and recite it more in the future, it will be of great benefit to your cultivation! If you have profound skills, even if you don't have **, you can cultivate into a ghost and immortal." If you can find **, you can unite the spirit and body, and you will soar in vain. Then he glanced at Ye Haotian and said, "If someone with profound skills helps you recite it, you can get twice the result with half the effort and speed up your cultivation." ”

Ye Haotian suddenly realized, hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed, grateful in his heart: "Thank you for the fulfillment of Our Lady." ”

The old mother looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "I was entrusted by the old emperor Huang to live in Lishan for a long time, and recited this sutra all the year round, but unfortunately no one can understand it. Today, I have finally found a successor, my mission is over, and I can return to the heavenly realm to resume my life. ”

Lan'er heard that the person in front of her was Lishan's mother, and hurriedly stepped forward to meet her.

The old mother "hehe" laughed non-stop, the laughter did not stop, the whole body has turned into smoke, floated out of the window, a pillar of light fell from the sky, the heavy snow suddenly condensed in the air, the smoke drifted away along the light, the pillar of light disappeared for a long time, the surrounding tranquility was restored, and only the sound of falling snow remained in the ears.

Lan'er was so happy that she ran over and wanted to pull Ye Haotian's hand: "Childe, I can finally continue to cultivate!"

Ye Haotian only felt his elbow move, and reached out to hold her white jade-like Rouyi, but he still grabbed the empty space, and hurriedly asked, "Lan'er, how do you know the Yellow Emperor Yin Fu Sutra?"

Lan'er said: "My family has a lot of books, and I have read this scripture before, and I didn't understand its meaning at the time, but I can still remember the beginning." Later, I heard the master mention it, saying that this scripture was originally a Taoist treasure, but unfortunately most of it was lost. Listening to my mother's reading today, I felt comfortable all over my body, and I realized that this book was actually for cultivating ghosts and immortals! This is simply great, I can recite it every day in the future, and when my skills are deep, I may be able to lift the ban on the Nine Yin Soul Lock. ”

Ye Haotian also felt pleased: "Yes, I'll help you read it together." Maybe it won't be long before the spirit and body become one. ”

It snowed heavily that night, but the cabin was warm and welcoming.

The next day, when Ye Haotian pushed the door to look, he saw that the surroundings were snow-white, covered in silver makeup, extremely enchanting, looking up was the sun shining, and the treetops were full of ice crystals. Lan'er shouted first: "It's so beautiful! I didn't expect the north to be so beautiful! Hey, look at that mountain, the whole thing is covered in snow! Look there, look there, there's a river, let's go ice skating, okay?"

Ye Haotian looked in the direction she pointed, and there was indeed a small river at the bend at the foot of the mountain, which was frozen and looked like a white ribbon in the sun. He stepped over the snow, and Lan'er floated even more in front of him.

The creek is only a zhang wide, and it zigzags and zigzags and does not know where it leads. Lan'er floated around on the ice, trying to find the feeling of skating, but she was too light, so she could only say that she was flying on the ice. Her crisp laughter came: "I liked ice skating when I was a child, but the ice in Jinling is too thin, and I fell into the water several times, and every time a few family members watched, I couldn't drown." Later, I learned kung fu from my master, and I often skated on the thin ice of Xuanwu Lake, and I never fell down again. ”

Ye Haotian watched her fly around lightly, her long hair fluttering, her sleeves fluttering, and she felt like a fairy.

Through the thick ice, he saw a few fish swimming in the water, so he carried the Samadhi True Fire with one hand and stuck it on the ice, and after a while, a two-foot-deep hole appeared in the ice under his palm, and the water under the ice was still flowing slowly. Suddenly, a fish jumped out of the ice hole, followed by two more. Lan'er floated over to look at it and felt very surprised.

Ye Haotian said with a smile: "'Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, thousands of people disappear, lonely boats, fishing alone in the cold river and snow'." We didn't use boats or fishing rods, and the fish jumped out on their own. ”

The two of them ran and frolicked in the snow. At this moment, Ye Haotian felt so carefree, and Lan'er also forgot that her ** was still lying in the crystal coffin. The blue sky is picturesque, the white clouds are long, the mountain dances the silver snake, the wax statue of Yuanchi, everything is so beautiful, and life is so wonderful.

It was only when the west was sinking that the two of them returned to the hut. Ye Haotian removed the gills and scales of the fish, and then put it into the steamer from Lan'er, and soon a fragrance came out.

※※※

When night fell, Ye Haotian continued to walk against the wind. After flying for two days, he got some tricks, which allowed him to save internal force, and he could fly three hundred miles in one take-off and landing.

In less than two hours, he had already arrived outside the door of the Chang'an jade shop. The lights of the jade shop have not been turned off yet, and Wang Wanshi is taking stock inside. When Ye Haotian entered, he was almost taken aback, and when he saw that it was the shopkeeper, he immediately happily invited him to the backyard, and at the same time beckoned his family to come over.

Ye Haotian asked, "Are you okay?"

Wang Wanshi replied: "Not to mention how good the business is! So far, we have already earned 7 million taels of silver! It is so good that it is worrying." ”

Wang Xiaoshi said: "It doesn't seem right in the past few days, there are a few people in Taoist costumes walking around, just afraid of bad intentions." Master Zhang of the nursing shop stepped forward to test the skills of one of them, but he didn't try it. ”

Ye Haotian was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly took out the turtle mirror to look at it, and found that there was no danger for the time being, but he still ordered everyone to pack their luggage and prepare to evacuate overnight. Everyone panicked and didn't understand what was happening.

Ye Haotian said: "Don't worry, it's okay tonight, I'll leave at dawn tomorrow, and leave Chang'an as soon as the city gate opens." Then he asked, "Where do you want to go, would you like to settle in the south, such as Suzhou and Hangzhou?"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and Wang Laohan said: "I feel that my body is getting stronger and stronger, and it seems that I can live for another twenty years, so let's go to the south to live for a few years." ”

The whole family was busy that night to see what to bring. Ye Haotian repeatedly advised: "Go on the road empty, as long as you have silver, you can buy anything!"

Wang Wanshi handed him the silver ticket. He took a part, returned the rest to the other party, and asked Wang Xiaoshi to find the master of jade carving "Blue Jade King" overnight, and through the "Blue Jade King" to send tens of thousands of taels of silver to each of the jade workers and the nursing home, he said that there was an accident at home, and the business was temporarily closed, and it is difficult to say whether it can be opened.

He himself was not idle, he took all the remaining jade stones in the courtyard, and estimated that he would not use them again for the time being, so he went out of the city to a nearby hill, dug a deep pit in the woods and buried it, and set up a formation on it, without marking it. With the psychic treasure in your body, you don't need to mark it anymore.

Before dawn, he called several members of the Wang family over, and each of them drew the Daomao Mountain Yuji Baijie Talisman on the chest, and the back of the Daomao Mountain Sanmao Zhenjun Talisman, telling them to go out of the city and go straight to Hangzhou, live a low-key life in the future, don't come back for a few years, and the existing silver is enough for them to live for a lifetime.

The crowd looked at him and wanted him to go with him.

Ye Haotian said: "You go first, I still have some things." The family reluctantly left.

Then, he set up another small formation in the center of the big formation and decided to fight the other party here again. After a few encounters, he was confident in the formation he had laid out.

As night fell, he put on his mask again and looked down at the turtle mirror.

I don't know when, the original smooth mirror has been covered with black clouds.

At this time, a crescent moon hung in the sky, and the surroundings were quiet.

In the middle of the night, six or seven people suddenly appeared around the courtyard, except for one with a bearded face, the rest were covered with black veils, and only showed their eyes outside. Just like in the Su family, they sprinkled the Nine Shadows White Bone Scatter all the way and slowly walked in.

As he walked, a man of short stature suddenly said, "Elder, something is strange! How can there be no one?"

The bearded man snorted and said, "If you escape, the monk can't escape the temple! The silver can be taken away, but the jade can't be taken away! Look for it carefully, as long as you can find the jade, you can make a difference!"

Before the words fell, Ye Haotian walked out and said with a sneer: "Don't look for it, the silver and jade are all here with me, come and get it if you have the ability!"

Several people gathered around.

The diminutive man shouted, "There is still one left, friend, you are not a little daring! I think you should be captured obediently, and when the uncle is happy, he may reward you with a whole corpse!"

Ye Haotian asked, "Who are you, why did you come here to kill for money?"

The bearded guest said with a smile: "If you want to blame yourself, blame yourself! The jade shop is so prosperous, don't let everyone share the soup?"

Ye Haotian said angrily: "The nine white bones are scattered all around, it is obvious that they are all killed! Since this is the case, I don't have to be polite, since everyone is here, there is no need to leave!"

The bearded man waved his hand, and then a slender man came up and said to Ye Haotian: "Don't talk nonsense, let me see if you have fallen into the evil spirit!" said a sword in his hand and stabbed carefully.

Ye Haotian raised the void with his right hand and took it, and lifted the other party over like a chicken, and then pointed at his heart. The man saw that he could not do it.

The people next to him were taken aback, and immediately three more people drew their swords and surrounded them. The skills of these three people are obviously much higher, and the sword end emits a three-foot-long sword light, and they will probably enter the real human realm soon. Their feet are shifting left and right, unpredictable, and it seems that they have cooperated for many years.

Ye Haotian took a closer look, and it turned out that the other party was setting up the "Three Immortals Alchemy Array", which was relatively rare in the martial arts. Although this array was difficult for him, he just felt that it was a pity to kill three people like this. At this moment, one of them swung his sword and stabbed him in the shoulder blade, and the other two were about to stab him in the chest and abdomen. He stepped into the dead corner of the formation first, pointed at the man's Zhongfu acupoint, and pointed back to the other two. In one move, the three of them fell to the ground at the same time, and the person who was hit by the Zhongfu acupoint was out of breath with his mouth open, and the other two were lying on the ground unable to move. The three of them were not dead, Ye Haotian wanted to keep it for questioning, if it wasn't for the heinous crime, maybe he would have let them go.

At this time, the bearded guest came over, applauded and sneered: "Good kung fu! No wonder the Lord of the Fourth Palace ordered you to be very careful when I came, and I still complained about such a trivial matter, why do I want to go out in person? I didn't expect that there is really a master here, let me make this trip worthwhile!"

Ye Haotian saw the other party's palms pushed out, and a heavy pressure came towards him, so he quickly gathered his strength and slapped it with one palm. The two palms met halfway, and a loud bang came from the air, and the gang qi overturned the house next to it.

The bearded man's palm power only paused, and then continued to attack.

Ye Haotian hurriedly slapped again, which was able to withstand it.

The opponent couldn't attack it several times in a row, and suddenly released the Yuanying Imperial Sword to attack!

Ye Haotian was not polite, and released the Yuan Infant to resist! Fortunately, his Yuan Infant had grown up, and he was obviously a head taller than the other party. The two primordial babies were flying in the air, Ye Haotian attacked more and defended less, pressing the other party underneath, but the bearded guest was tightly guarded, and it was difficult to solve it for a while, so he could only continue to strengthen the offensive of the main body, and slowly moved his palm power to the opponent's side.

The remaining two saw that the situation was not good, and attacked from behind with their swords. Ye Haotian had to withdraw Yuan Ying to assist in the defense. Fortunately, the skills of those two people were not high, and the flying sword hit the ground in a flash. However, due to distraction, the attack of the bearded guest was already close at hand! Ye Hao Tiangong gathered his whole body and slowly pressed the Gang Qi back, and Yuan Ying also fought back. It didn't take long for him to gain the upper hand again.

At this moment, a dark cloud suddenly floated in the sky!

The dark clouds are coming fast, and they are coming in an instant!

At the critical moment, Ye Haotian shook his heart, rose up with great might, and attacked with all his might! In a moment, he pressed Gang Qi in front of the approaching bearded guest, and conjured up a finger to point at the opponent's Tiantu acupoint. The bearded guest screamed and fell to the ground.

Suddenly, a yin wind blew in front of Ye Haotian's body, and the spirit runes on his body flashed twice, and the yin wind penetrated into the cold bone marrow!

He knew that it was not good, so he hurriedly withdrew his primordial spirit, and flew towards the large array that had been set up in advance! When he was about to fall into the formation, the spirit runes on his body flashed twice! In an instant, he felt like he had been struck by lightning on his back, and his whole body spasmed! He flew forward two feet with all his might, and then fell into the formation with a "bang."

He gritted his teeth and crawled into the center of the large array, where he lay there unable to move.

The pain spread from the large vertebral points, gradually spread to the entire lower back, and the pain penetrated the heart and lungs.

Lan'er came out, looked at him anxiously, and said in a low voice, "Childe, how are you?"

Ye Haotian said with difficulty: "Give me a tonifying qi pill." ”

Lan'er hurriedly took it out and put it in his mouth.

When the pill entered the abdomen, a hot breath suddenly arose from the abdomen. Ye Haotian controlled the true qi to run in the second vein of Rendu, from the bottom up, and was obviously blocked when he reached the big vertebrae and Tao Dao. He kept urging the true qi, and after a long time, the two acupuncture points were barely cleared. He let the true qi walk on the foot sun meridian, and walked all the acupuncture points on his waist and back before he felt much better.

Ye Haotian knew in his heart that this time thanks to the spirit rune drawn on his body by the master, if it weren't for the spirit rune that reduced the opponent's attack, he was afraid that he would be more than lucky. The opponent's skill was too high, and the master's spirit rune could only block part of the attack, so he was still injured. In addition to being frightened, he secretly decided in his heart that every time he went out to fight in the future, he must draw spirit runes all over his body, and try not to be injured again, the taste of injury is really uncomfortable.

At this time, he saw a short and stocky monk walking around the courtyard. The crooked crescent moon shone on the monk's face full of fat, the bald head with ring scars, the eyes narrowed into a slit, and the rosary made of a baby's parietal bone hanging around his neck!

Ye Haotian let out a "chuckle" in his heart, he had seen this person before!

When he was in Yuelu Academy, he saw this fat-headed and big-eared monk flying down from the top of Yuelu Mountain, but he didn't expect to appear here again today!

Soon, the monk found the bearded guest's Yuan Ying from the corner of the courtyard and asked a few words in a low voice.

Yuan Ying's voice was sharp and thin, and he cried intermittently: "The disciple was ...... A man destroyed his body, and that man's face turned pale and ...... woo woo"

The monk took out a jade bottle without smiling and recited a spell at Yuan Ying.

Yuan Ying was a little scared, turned around and wanted to escape, but was put into the jade bottle without escaping a few steps.

Ye Haotian was annoyed in his heart, regretting that he couldn't kill Yuan Ying, and now he was taken away by the demons, but he was afraid that he would be refined into a powerful ghost.

The monk walked around the courtyard a few times, but he couldn't find Ye Haotian's shadow, so he couldn't help but feel anxious, lit a fire around him, and drove the clouds to watch in the air.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and after a while the whole yard was on fire, and it was still spreading outward. The whole city was alarmed, and everyone brought buckets and went to put out the fire, but the fire was too big to be rescued. Fortunately, there was no wind, otherwise the entire Chang'an City would only be a sea of fire. Even then, half of the connected streets were burned to the ground.

Ye Haotian was resentful in his heart, these demons had really lost their conscience, and they must not be merciful when they met in the future! At the same time, he did not forget to remind himself that if he fought in a place where no one was around, he could not bring disasters to the people like now.

Seeing that the fire was raging all around, only the place where the large array was arranged did not catch fire, and the demon was watching from the air, he simply withdrew the formation and hid in the cellar where the jade was hidden, so that the part of the ground was engulfed in flames.

After a while, the fire was finally extinguished, and the dust was a foot thick.

Seeing that no one had come out, the monk estimated that Ye Haotian was dead, and finally took off in the clouds.

After a long time, Ye Haotian took out the turtle mirror to inspect it, and found that the black color in the mirror had completely receded, so he walked out of the cellar to check around. Soon several piles of bones were found in the yard. Next to each pile of bones was a small sword three inches long. One of the golden swords was located where the bearded man fell, three bronze swords, which belonged to someone who knew the Three Immortals Alchemy Array, and a few iron swords that should have been left behind by the rest of the guards.

He put away all the small swords, thinking of the words he heard in Xuanwu Lake, and guessed in his heart: "The Nine Yin Sect disciples are probably divided into different levels, the skill of wearing the golden sword is higher, the bronze sword is poor, and the iron sword is even worse. That monk is only afraid that he is one of the so-called palace masters. The palace master is already so powerful, but I don't know what will happen to the sect master?"

He felt that the strength of the enemy was unimaginably high.

Nevertheless, he was not discouraged. Every other layer of Dao practice has a lot of differences in strength, even in the early and middle stages of the same level. He couldn't tell which level the monk had reached at the moment, maybe he was only two or three levels above him. He is still young, he has just cultivated for two or three years, and the other party is a centuries-old demon, and it is difficult to say who will kill the deer!

When he thought about it like this, he was not worried but happy.
