Xu Liankui's favorite person when he was a child was his uncle Xu Yun, because he is the most powerful Taoist priest in the Xu family now, because he is very fond of laughing, not at all like the legendary elders who always have a straight face.

The Xu family is thin, and Xu Liankui has very few playmates.His biological brother, Xu Lianzhi, was older than him, rigid and boring. After his father died of illness, he took on the posture of "the eldest brother is the father". Let alone playing with him, he seldom even chatted with him. , is on the way to subdue the demons.

Xu Yun was much more kind than Xu Lianzhi. Every time he came back from the house, he would remember to bring delicious food for Xu Liankui as a gift. He would hug Xu Liankui, who was still a small dumpling, to his knees, and tell him various stories.Xu Yun always had a smile on his face, without any fatigue, just like the moonlight shining into people's hearts, so gentle that people can't help but yearn for it, but so powerful that they can only look up to.

The young Xu Liankui once secretly thought that his elder brother and younger uncle should be switched.

Xu Liankui was born with extraordinary intelligence, whether it was a thousand-character text or amulet, he could never forget it with his photographic memory.Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are also easy to understand, which is amazing.

However, he is stubborn and rebellious by nature, and he can't bear to study even more because of his intelligence.Compared with sitting at the table to draw Dao talismans and memorize magic circles, I prefer to climb trees to catch birds, chase chickens and chase dogs.He was even more interested in the patterns of the batik cloth from the neighbor's house than in the patterns of Taoist symbols. After two years of learning, he was still stuck in the stage of drawing symbols by ghosts, which caused Xu Lianzhi a lot of headaches.

In the end, it was Xu Yun who taught Xu Liankui how to draw the first spell.However, Xu Liankui still lacked interest. Being a Taoist priest seemed boring.

When he was seven years old, Xu Liankui wanted to go out to play, so he pestered his uncle to take him out to subdue demons in the name of wanting to learn Taoism. Unexpectedly, Xu Yun, who always loved him, refused this time.

"Why can't you take me there? Is it because I can't draw symbols?" He just didn't want to learn such a simple thing.Xu Liankui's cheeks were bulging with anger, and he stared at his uncle. The unicorn beads on Xu Yun's waist shone dazzlingly in the sun.

"To be a Taoist priest, the most important thing is not the Dao talisman, but the Dao heart." Xu Yun blinked at the little boy, and took out a fist-sized gold, silver and bronze beast from his arms, and placed it in Xu Liankui's palm like a tender lotus root. "As the Xu family, do you know what the blood power of the Xu family is?"

"The power of blood?" Xu Liankui looked at the bronze beast with a heavy palm, and then at his uncle, his white and tender face was full of puzzlement.

"Yes." Xu Yun raised his hand to help him wipe off the gray marks on his left cheek, and gently raised the corners of his lips, "When your ability awakens, my uncle will take you out."

Fortunately, he was not asked to practice drawing talismans, so Xu Liankui nodded half-understanding.

But, how to awaken the power of blood?Xu Liankui, who ran wildly all day long and became the little overlord of the nearby street, would occasionally find time to play with and study the copper beast, but he still didn't understand what the power of the blood was that the uncle was talking about.

Two years later, there was a rebellion in the southwest by a snake, and Xu Yun went to get rid of the demon.

Before leaving, Xu Liankui, who had not yet awakened the power of his blood, coquettishly grabbed Xu Yun's clothes, and said expectantly, "Uncle, can you really not take me there?"

Only in front of Xu Yun would he show this cute baby look.

"Uncle promises you, I will definitely take you there next time." Xu Yun knelt down and gave Xiao Budian a big hug.Xu Liankui hugged Xu Yun's neck happily. He knew that his uncle never lost his word.Xu Liankui will never forget the clear smell of grass and trees on Xu Yun's lapel.

However, Xu Yun made a slip of the tongue.That Soaring Snake was a great monster of Xuan level. He died in the southwest and never came back.

Nine-year-old Xu Liankui knelt in front of Xu Yun's spirit tablet and swore secretly that in this life, he would become the most powerful Taoist priest, exterminate all demons, and avenge his uncle.

At this time, he had already learned from Xu Lianzhi that the Xu family was said to be descended from immortals, and their bloodlines retained the abilities left by their ancestors. The so-called most important power of bloodlines was the ability to communicate with ghosts.

If it wasn't for his lost soul, Xu Lianzhi could at least use the power of his blood to connect with Xu Yun's ghost. However, the flying snake swallowed his soul alive.

"So, uncle, do you want me to hear you?" Monsters are cruel and ruthless people who disrupt the world, what can we say to them?A sea of ​​blood and deep feud, irreconcilable.On the night when Xu Yun was sent away, Xu Liankui lay on the bed, frowning at the colorful bronze beast.

Could it be that my uncle sealed a little demon inside and made him a toy?He couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't bear to throw away the bronze beast that Xu Yun had given him, so he still carried it quietly with him.

From then on, Xu Liankui began to practice Taoism as if he had changed himself, and showed his amazing Taoist talent.A year later, he subdued the first monster with his own hands, indifferent, decisive, and merciless.

Xu Lianzhi wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know how to persuade him. In the end, he silently handed the unicorn bead left by Xu Yun to Xu Liankui, "My uncle's things, you can keep them for him."

The Xu family has two unicorn beads that are passed down in their families. Xu Lianzhi inherited the one left by his father, and the other was once in Xu Yun's possession.

Rather than saying that the Qilin Pearl's aura is powerful enough to exorcise evil spirits, it is better to say that for the Xu family, it is a token passed down from generation to generation, tainted with the breath of Taoist priests of every generation of the Xu family.

Xu Liankui tied the bead into a knot by the light and hung it on his wrist.

At the age of 11, Xu Liankui was attacked by a ninth-level wolf demon just as he was about to kill the snake spirit. When he was about to be swallowed, a turquoise light burst out from his arms, beheading the wolf demon for two.

Something scorching hot rolled through the veins, as if it was about to burn.

Xu Liankui, who escaped from the dead, held back his discomfort, and pulled out the bronze beast from his arms in shock, "You saved me?"

To be able to kill a level nine wolf monster in one fell swoop is at least a level ten monster.If it hadn't been sealed with demonic power, it would have had thousands of chances to kill him, why not only didn't it kill him, but saved him instead?

【certainly. 】Xu Liankui replied clearly when he heard a voice.He looked at the copper beast and blinked for a long time, "Is it you talking?"

The voice let out a long sigh of relief, 【Did you hear that?God, I have waited for so many years, and the power of your bloodline has finally awakened. 】

"Who the hell are you?" Xu Liankui was silent for a few seconds. Is this the power of blood that my uncle mentioned?

【Yes, my name is Xiezhi, and I am a level ten monster. 】

"Since you are a monster, why did you save me?" The childish Xu Liankui frowned in confusion.

【Because Xu Yun and I are friends. ] Xiezhi said as a matter of course, 【I promise him that I will protect you in the future. 】

"Friends?" Taoist priests and monsters can be friends?Xu Liankui felt that his three views were on the verge of serious collapse.However, Xie Zhi was indeed given to him by Xu Yun himself.

From then on, there was an inseparable monster beside him.At Xiezhi's place, Xu Liankui got to know another uncle whom he never knew.

According to it, Xu Yun's wish is to give that personal unicorn bead to the person he loves the most in his life. When he is free, he likes to sit on the highest roof in the whole town to watch the sunrise after training. He loves to drink, he said, "There is nothing in this world that cannot be solved with a pot of wine. If it really doesn't work, just have another pot."

For this reason, Xu Liankui secretly went to drink. After the hot liquid was poured down the throat, the world was turned upside down, and his brain was disconnected from his body in an instant. He slept with the jug in his arms until the next afternoon.Since then, he has also fallen in love with this taste that can make people change from cold to warm.

Xu Liankui, who understands gossip, gradually discovered that monsters are not all evil people, they are like human beings, with various temperaments, some are greedy, some are playful, some are childish, and some value affection. , Some are vicious, some are treacherous, some are violent, some are vengeful, and some are repaying kindness.

Only then did he vaguely understand Xu Yun's original intentions. Monsters in the world are not simply black and white. As a Taoist priest, the most important thing is not how powerful he is, but to have a Taoist heart and blood that can distinguish right from wrong. He who has not awakened his power can't do this at all.

However, because of Xu Yun's death, he still doesn't like monsters, and what makes him most incomprehensible is that Yuelao actually said that the red line of his life is actually hanging on a monster.Therefore, Xu Liankui's greatest hobby became playing tricks on those monsters who bluff in the human world.In addition, whenever he encounters a female monster, he will avoid it eight feet away, and he will not believe it, so that he can draw a red line with the monster.

At the age of 14, Xu Liankui put on a wooden seal and joined the ranks of Taoist priests of the yellow rank, which shocked all the Taoist families in the world.

The genius of the Xu family was once the nickname of Xu Liankui among the people.

When Xu Liankui was 16 years old, a group of evil dragons made trouble in the Huaihe River, causing floods.Lin'an County was miserable. A family surnamed Liu offered a thousand taels of gold and an altar of 300-year-old fine wine, imploring the heroes of the world to go and eliminate the demon.

When he arrived at the Huaihe River, it was raining heavily and the wind was everywhere, and two evil dragons were besieging a white figure with their forces, fighting inseparably.The white figure in the middle is tall and tall, with wide clothes and broad belts, and the wide gold-rimmed robe sleeves are like battle flags, fluttering in the wind and rain, arousing Xu Liankui's pride.

Two black shadows sneaked out of the water, taking advantage of the dark sky, trying to sneak up on the white figure from behind.

Xu Liankui also pointed out that he threw two Moon Slashing Talismans at the shadow that was sneaking up, and jumped up to join the battle.The man in white was startled slightly, and then joined hands with him to deal with the four evil dragons that were becoming more and more rampant in the air.

After fighting fiercely for a while, the two finally worked together to kill the first evil dragon, and the scarlet blood stained half of the river red.

"Brother Seven, come on!" A red-haired puppy by the river was hopping hard in the wind and rain, with an azure teapot beside it.

Enraged, the remaining three evil dragons used blood curses to set off huge waves and attack the people on both sides of the bank, and their attacks on Xu Liankui and the man in white became more and more frenzied.

In the midst of the bloody storm, a great glow suddenly appeared, and a huge red bird dragged its beautiful nine tails and flew towards it. It opened its mouth and spewed out sky fire, instantly evaporating the huge waves all over the sky.

Xu Liankui: ……………

Baiyi: ……………

The red bird landed on the main ridge of the city gate tower, shaking its wings leisurely, "What are you looking at me for, haven't you seen Suzaku? Why don't you get rid of those three bastards soon?"

The man in white snorted coldly, his face darkened, and a strong demonic aura suddenly burst out from his body, tearing up the black flood dragon that rushed in front of him in a blink of an eye.

The remaining two black flood dragons sensed something was wrong and were about to run away, but Xu Liankui and the man in white killed each of them on the spot.

"Trash." After the rain stopped, the man in white disdainfully kicked away the dragon head that fell in front of him, and jumped to the altar on the city wall.There are the thousand taels of gold promised by the Liu family and a jar of 300-year-old wine.

His appearance is so handsome that he is not like ordinary people, with straight browbones, black eyebrows pointing straight to the temples, and a straight nose bridge and narrow eyebrows with an unearthly nobility.However, the killing intent in his eyes has not faded away, and there is a bloodthirsty aura lingering, such a sharp killing aura is like a sharpened blade, which makes people feel cold.

The old Taoist who was in charge of guarding the altar for the Liu family straightened his back in fright.

Xu Liankui looked at it coldly. Judging from the powerful demonic aura just now, it must be a demon and not a human.

"Hey, all the troubles have been resolved. Now let's talk about the business. The jar of wine is mine. How about sharing the rest of the gold?" The red bird landed in front of the altar, turning into a bright-eyed red-haired man. Young man, he has beautiful eyes, which turn into a half-moon shape when he smiles, with a faint dimple on his cheek.

The young man in white raised his eyebrows, and said with no refusal, "The wine is mine, and the gold is yours."

Xu Liankui spread his hands regretfully, "I'm sorry, but I also like wine more than gold."

The Taoist priest watching the altar: ……………

"You all want wine too? What should we do then?" The red-haired young man frowned in distress.

"Simple." Xu Liankui squeezed his fingers determined to win, and looked at them with raised eyebrows, "Let's fight, whoever wins will take the jar of wine away."

"Okay!" The white-clothed young man and the red-haired one nodded at the same time, and both rushed towards Xu Liankui, and the three of them fought together in the blink of an eye.

The old Taoist who watched the altar fled down the city wall in the wind, he really didn't understand the obsession of the three drunkards, it would be fine if they were divided into three parts, why did they beat them?

When the three of them were fighting fiercely, the young man in white leapt to avoid Xu Liankui's Taoist talisman, the sky fire spewed out by the red-haired youth came first, brushing past his feet, and rushed towards the altar not far away.

boom!The wine jars on the table and the old wines in them all disappeared in an instant.

Xu Liankui: ……………

Baiyi: ……………

Red hair:……………………………………

In the end, the red-haired young man who caused trouble was beaten up by the other two, and was forced to treat the guests with the century-old wine he had collected.

During the banquet, Xu Liankui knew their names. The man in white was Yazi, the seventh son of the dragon, and the red-haired young man was Zhu Chen, the only vermilion bird in the world.

People often say that birds of a feather flock together. Xu Liankui often recalled later that he was able to be friends with Yazi and Zhu Chen because of their common hobby. The three of them were all addicted to alcohol.

Every year in February, they would gather on the top of Mount Tai with wine, and drink happily with the mountains and mist, the breeze and the bright moon.They also have to fight every year, and whoever wins will choose the best wine first.

Four years in a flash.

In February of that year, the drunk Zhu Chen turned into his original form and rubbed against Xu Liankui's chest, acting like a spoiled child, and then fell asleep. Jai Zi grabbed it by the tail and threw it into the snowdrift, then pressed it on Xu Liankui's body, and gently kissed his lips. Between the moonlight and the snow, Yazi's gentle and misty eyes are the only stunning beauty in the world, which makes people dazzled.

Xu Liankui was shocked, he never expected that Yuelao not only arranged a monster for him, he was actually a leader!

It just doesn't make sense!

Xu Liankui, who came back to his senses, kicked Jai Zi away and angrily descended the mountain.

In February of the following year, Xu Liankui did not show up at Mount Tai.

When Zhu Chen found Xu's family, he found out that Xu Liankui was injured by Chaos and was ill in bed.

"Scared me to death, I thought you were angry." Zhu Chen patted his chest exaggeratedly, most of the gloom between his brows and eyes dissipated, "In my life, except for Gouer, it's just you two friends. Taste, I also like Yazi's arrogant and straightforward character, I really don't want to see you guys quarreling."

"Speak as if you are about to die." Xu Liankui grabbed the cushion next to the pillow and threw it at Zhu Chen, "You are the Vermilion Bird, forever reborn from the ashes, immortal."

Zhu Chen caught the cushion, couldn't help sighing, and lowered his eyebrows, "Actually, the so-called rebirth from the ashes is similar to becoming another person. Every time I sleep for a hundred years, I will lose almost everything. Memory. So, when the time comes, I may forget you."

"What are you afraid of, I remember you," Xu Liankui raised his eyebrows, "If you forget me, I will definitely bully you severely, as your revenge for forgetting me. Then, wait patiently for you to recover The day of memory."

"Come on, by then you will have been reincarnated long ago, and it's no wonder that Po Meng will remember who I am after drinking the soup." Zhu Chen threw the cushion on Xu Liankui's face back.

Xu Lianzhi entered the room with the soup, and saw the scene where Zhu Chen threw the cushion on Xu Liankui's face.

Zhu Chen suddenly froze in embarrassment.

Xu Liankui quickly smoothed things over for Zhu Chen, "Brother, although he doesn't look normal, he has a very kind heart."

Zhu Chen: ……………

I'd better beat him to death.

The next day, it was Jai Zi who visited the sick.

Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, demon bones, medicinal stones, and medicines collected by Yazi filled half of Xu Liankui's room.

"Do you want to kill me?" Xu Liankui stared at him with a miserable face while holding the medicine bowl.

A crack appeared on Yazi's handsome and cold face, "You can give away what you can't eat."

Xu Liankui: ……………

For a moment, the only sound left in the room was the sound of white porcelain spoons stirring in the medicine bowl.

"Hey, were you drunk that day or not?" Xu Liankui put down his medicine bowl and looked at Yazi who was leaning against the window.

"I'll kill Chaos for you." Yazi straightened up abruptly, and walked out through the window.

Xu Liankui: ……………

I'm not even shy, you're a shy ass!

Seven days later, someone put Chaos' broken body under Xu Liankui's window.

Xu Liankui, who got up early in the morning, pushed open the window and was almost suffocated. He glared angrily at the ancient tree not far away, "You idiot, who told you to put the corpse here to be disgusting?"

The ancient tree was silent.

"Anyway, I'm also a yellow class, do you think you can hide it from me?" Xu Liankui stared at the lush canopy of the ancient tree, "I'll give you three seconds, and if you don't come out again, never come out."

There was a rustling sound in the crown of the tree, and a small animal with a dragon head and a leopard body hesitated to poke its head out from the crown of the tree. Its beautiful glass-colored eyes were full of reluctance, and a shocking bloodstain passed across its horns. Extend to the nape of the neck.

"Are you injured?" Xu Liankui was startled, jumped up to the ancient tree, and hugged it down.

Yazi anxiously pushed Xu Liankui's arms twice with his paws, trying to break free, not wanting him to see his wounded and embarrassed look at all.

"Don't forget that my injury is not healed yet." Xu Liankui pinched its paw.

Yazi's claws that could tear apart Chaos froze immediately, and limply rested on Xu Liankui's hand like a kitten, not daring to use any more strength.

Xu Liankui bent his lips triumphantly, and brought Yazi, who looked like a small animal, back to the room to apply the medicine.

Xu Liankui's Taoism is becoming more and more sophisticated, but he still lacks a handy weapon.Xu Lianzhi suggested that he use a mahogany sword.Before Xu Liankui set off to look for it, two days later, a piece of a thousand-year-old Yang tree was placed under his window.

When Xu Liankui was carving a wooden sword, he carved an identical Zijian. When he climbed Mount Tai again, he handed the wooden dagger-like Zijian to Yazi, "Here, it's a thank you for the wood."

"That's it?" Yazi looked at him dissatisfied.

Xu Liankui raised his eyebrows, "Otherwise what do you want?"

"This bead." Yazi nodded to the unicorn bead on Xu Liankui's wrist that was always inseparable.

"Dream!" Xu Liankui rolled his eyes at him bluntly.

Zhu Chen snatched it curiously, and looked at the thing that was no longer than a palm, "I said, what can this thing do, pick teeth?"

Yazi snatched it back and carefully put the wooden sword into his bosom.

Zhu Chen poured himself a glass of wine out of boredom, "I said, we're almost at the Xuan level, what do you want to do after breaking through to the Xuan level?"

Yazi shook his head, "Nothing special."

Xu Liankui looked at the distant mountains coldly, "Revenge."

Reaching the Xuan level means that he can go to Teng Snake to avenge his uncle.

Zhu Chen twitched his lips, "I hope I can cultivate to the heavenly level in this life. I have already reached the mysterious level three times in a row, and then I fell into flames. Gouer laughed at me several times."

The following year, the 23-year-old Xu Liankui hung the golden seal belonging to a Xuan-level Taoist priest, and the world was in an uproar.

There are only three Taoist priests who have stepped into the Xuan class, and the other two are octogenarians. The 23-year-old Xuan class Taoist priest is unprecedented.

Xu Liankui couldn't wait to seek revenge on Teng Snake.

However, Xu Liankui didn't know that he wasn't the only one who was busy cultivating these years.The Soaring Snake, which devoured many spirit demons, is about to break through the mysterious level and rise to the earth level.

He has just stepped into the Xuan level, although he is amazing and talented, he is still not an opponent of Teng Snake.

When his life was hanging by a thread, Ya Zi and Zhu Chen rushed over.The three of them teamed up to barely draw with Teng Snake.

"It doesn't work like this, if we continue to consume it, we will be dragged to death by it." Zhu Chen looked at Xu Liankui and Yazi who were struggling next to him.

"It won't let us go." Xu Liankui shook his head.

"Hmph, I'm going to eat you and go directly to the earth level." The Teng Snake in mid-air sneered, and suddenly released ten thousand sub-snakes, covering the sky and covering the sun, and the sub-snakes' bodies shone with a purple-black luster. , that is snake venom refined by Soaring Snake, once it touches it, it will definitely kill you.

Yazi took a deep breath, and slammed in front of Xu Liankui and Zhu Chen.

However, Zhu Chen turned into his original form, flapping his wings, and wherever he went, a raging fire was ignited, and those snakes were instantly reduced to ashes in the firelight.

"Is that the sky fire?" Xu Liankui looked at Zhu Chen in the sky in surprise, the fire was clearly far away from them, but the surrounding air seemed to be dried up.

"Zhu Chen, come back!" Yazi shouted fiercely as if remembering something.

The fiery red giant bird didn't look back, and rushed towards the soaring snake with overwhelming flames.

"You actually... actually used your life fire!" Soaring Snake struggled to escape, but was tightly bound by the flames.

"Kill it!" Zhu Chen looked back at Yazi and Xu Liankui.

Yazi took out the wooden dagger that Xu Liankui had given it, and stabbed it into Teng Snake's chest with a demonic aura.

In the flames, the flying snake's wings trembled violently, its tail flicked wildly, and it let out a heart-piercing scream. After half a stick of incense, it finally fell silent.

"Remember, hand me over to Gour." The giant bird in the firelight slowly folded its wings and disappeared into the firelight.

"Zhu Chen!" Xu Liankui wanted to rush over, but Yazi grabbed him tightly.

The fire burned for three days and three nights. After the ashes had cooled, Xu Liankui and Yazi found an egg covered in flame patterns.

After handing Zhu Chen to Gouer, Xu Liankui patted Yazi on the shoulder, "Hey, let's go to the bar, my uncle said that there is nothing in the world that can't be solved with a pot of wine, if it really doesn't work, just have another pot. "

There is a torrential rain in his eyes, flowing everywhere, and he can't find the exit.

Yazi hugged his shoulder distressedly, "Okay, I'll drink with you for three days and three nights."

Ten years later, both Xu Liankui and Yazi are already feared by all the monsters.

Every year, they still go to Mount Tai, and Zhu Chen's favorite place on the left has always remained there.In their hearts, that position will always be Zhu Chen's, he is just absent, and one day, he will come to the appointment again.

The author has something to say:

Therefore, Zhu Chen likes Xu Mu actually because of the memory of smell that he left behind back then.

When we met again, Xu Liankui also kept his promise seriously, "bullying" Zhu Chen who had forgotten him.
