The wind is rustling, and it is getting colder in the early winter.

The red sun gradually faded away, and a lonely tree stood in the wilderness.

A few withered leaves could not withstand the blowing of the cold wind, and fell to the ground without a few struggles.

There was still smoke left in the village in the distance, and a girl with a basket and a short hoe hurried towards the village.

The basket contained several brown lumps of dirt that looked like food dug from the ground.

After late autumn, these are the only foods that can be found in the wild, and they can be regarded as a ration for farmers.

The girl in commoner clothes was in a hurry. When she came to the tree, she suddenly raised her head when she was about to pass by.

A young man with a sword was leaning against the tree while stepping on the trunk. He was handsome and tall, and he smiled brightly when he saw her look over.

Those smiling eyes shone like the stars in the sky.

On the contrary, at the first glance, people would ignore his extremely outstanding appearance, which was between a teenager and a young man, and there seemed to be a bit of innocence in his eyebrows and eyes.

The peasant girl Xu Shi was startled by the man standing silently on the tree, her face was pale.

After stopping for a while, she lowered her head again, she looked like a shy woman who rarely sees outsiders, and she was about to walk past here quickly.

"Girl, please stay." The young man on the tree smiled.

As he spoke, Pei Ming jumped down. He was tall and long-legged, and his speech and actions were quite youthful.

The peasant girl lowered her head and wanted to walk directly, but was stopped by Pei Ming who stretched out her arms, so she had to stop again.

The girl still didn't look up, she didn't seem to dare to look at him, she asked in a low voice: "Young master, what's the matter? My parents are still waiting for me at home, if I don't go back, even my elder brother will be found."

She seemed terrified, so she moved out of the family to create momentum for herself.

Pei Ming chuckled lightly and said, "Girl, don't be afraid, I just want to ask you a few words."

The peasant girl said nothing, just raised her head to look at him quietly, and then quickly looked away.

"I want to ask the girl, but did you come from the southeast?" Pei Ming asked, slowly rubbing the thumb of the right hand holding the sword on the scabbard.

"Exactly." The peasant girl nodded.

Pei Ming laughed again: "Has that girl ever seen a monster fleeing there?"

Seeing her looking over in surprise and panic, Pei Ming smiled and said nothing, just waiting for her answer.

"Is there a monster?" The girl's voice became softer.

Pei Ming nodded and said, "Yes, but you don't have to be afraid, I'm a Taoist, and I'm here to catch demons this time."

The girl managed to calm herself down, shook her head and said, "I've never seen any monsters before."

She paused and said again: "Perhaps he ran to another place. The Taoist priest will look for it again. I will go home first."

In this case, Pei Ming nodded and said, "Excuse me."

The girl then went towards the village with the basket, and she walked more quickly.

"Dare to ask girl, did the blood stain on the skirt hurt?" Pei Ming suddenly said a few steps before she walked out.

She stopped and turned to look at the skirt behind her.

"Maybe it was the time when I was injured digging the ground with a hoe, and I accidentally got it on." The girl closed her eyes and said.

"So that's it. I thought the girl was injured, and I was just about to ask if I would take you back." Pei Ming said with a smile.

Seeing that there was no trace of the monster, he turned around and was about to leave.

The peasant girl who was a few steps behind suddenly raised her eyes, and a gleam flashed in her eyes.

A dot of white light quietly appeared, and it walked towards Pei Ming whose back was exposed without a sound.

The girl stared intently, almost holding her breath.

At this moment, the bone nail that was about to become white light passed through a phantom.

The girl turned around immediately, and her demonic aura no longer restrained.

However, it was still too late, Pei Ming, who appeared behind her, had already approached her and hit her abdomen with his palm.

A body of white bones separated from the flesh and flew backwards.

The flesh without bone support fell to the ground, Pei Ming didn't even look at it, and cut off the skull of the Bone Demon with a swift sword strike.

The remaining bones fell apart and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Pei Ming took a look at the Senbai skull in his palm, and then crushed the skull, leaving only a bone bead with a strong yin inside.

Taking it back for Pei Ming to play with can also help him nourish his yin energy.

If it wasn't for this bone bead, there would be no need to deal hypocritically with the bone demon.

After being detected by the opponent, the bone beads will either be used as the last fight, or they will perish and dissipate together with the guarded bone demon. You need to take advantage of its slackness and never have the idea of ​​using bone beads to fight directly. Cut off the head.

Pei Ming put away the bone beads and looked back at the human skin on the ground.

His eyes were indifferent, under the ravages of monsters, life and death were beyond control.

When he was about to lift his feet to leave, he turned around suddenly, his eyes were slightly lowered with pity, and he raised his hand and used his spiritual power to lift up the soil on the ground next to him, and soon a pit appeared.

He took off his coat and used it to bury the peeled skin of the farmer's daughter, buried it in a pit, and piled up a small grave.

A figure slowly fell beside him from far to near. It was Jiang Yumian.

"Master." Pei Ming said respectfully.

"Yeah." Jiang Yumian nodded and said, "I saw that you haven't returned for three days, so I thought something happened."

He didn't ask about the rest, the human skin in the grave and the white bones beside it were enough to tell him everything.

The two of them hadn't stood in front of the grave for long when they saw a man in commoner clothes approaching from a distance. He looked about twenty years old and was tanned.

He looked hurried, and he still called out a name, which was obviously a girl's baby name.

Pei Ming remembered what the Bone Demon said just now, he was a little surprised, he thought it was nonsense from the Bone Demon's mouth.

The Bone Demon's cultivation base is not weak, and he knows how to hide his breath, so he lost it before.

That's why he didn't see that when the bone demon turned into a man and appeared in front of the farmer's daughter, what she said in panic was exactly the reason that her brother would come to her, but was sold out by the bone demon.

The clothed man stopped not far away, he was stunned when he saw the newly piled grave, he had never seen this grave before today.

The man was eager to find his sister, although seeing that Jiang Yumian and Pei Ming were obviously different in clothes and demeanor, with swords in their hands, he still asked, "You two priests, have you ever met my sister, who is about this tall and round?" There is a small mole on the face, next to the eye, and a basket hoe."

He gestured to his younger sister's height with apprehensive eyes.

Jiang Yumian looked at Pei Ming, he had never seen the life in the grave before.

Pei Ming nodded incredulously, it was indeed that girl.

Jiang Yumian's expression dimmed a little. He lowered his eyes to look at the tomb. Demons and demons were rampant, and the worst were mortals without any cultivation.

Pei Ming explained the cause and effect to the man in a low voice, the dark man stared blankly at the newly erected grave, and couldn't speak anymore.

As soon as the swing fan was lightly fanned, the wind blew up under the feet of the two of them.

After flying far away, Jiang Yumian turned around and found that the man who looked like a little black spot was still standing by the tree on the wasteland.

"Master?" Pei Ming also stopped, following Jiang Yumian's gaze.

"Master, life and death are impermanent." He tried to comfort Jiang Yumian.

"Yeah." Jiang Yumian said in a muffled voice, and then set off on his way home again, Pei Ming followed closely beside him.

The sound of the wind rang in the ears, and the two of them stopped talking.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Pei Ming wanted to help him resolve it.

But it's not easy to joke about this matter, after thinking for a long time, he said: "Master, don't worry too much, don't talk about others, I will put the demon first, and save as much as I can."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yumian did not express comfort or appreciation for his words, but instead said after thinking, "I'll be with you."

Now Pei Ming was surprised.

Although Jiang Yumian came to get rid of the demon, most of the elders and sect masters sat in the rear. Once they found the trace of the big demon, the disciples would only take action if they could not solve it. Generally, they would not run around outside Run and catch these goblins.

The same is true for Jiang Yumian. Except for solving a powerful monster yesterday, he only killed some evil monsters on the way back to Taichu City.

He hadn't heard from Pei Ming for three days in Taichu City, worried that something might happen to his apprentice, so he searched for the seal of the talisman all the way to find him.

"Both big and small demons are the scourge of chaos. Staying in Taichu City is just staying. It is better to come out and solve the scourge of demons as soon as possible, so that Dongzhou can return to peace sooner."

Jiang Yumian said lightly, obviously a decision has been made.

Pei Ming always knew that his heart was soft and that he had made up his mind, so he had no objection, instead he said: "Since that's the case, Master, we don't need to go back to the City of Absolute Beginning, just find a clean place to meditate, I'll rest for a night alright."

It has been five days since he came out. In the first two days, he sent news to Taichu City, but he chased and killed the monsters and ran farther and farther, until he was the only one left. Passed back.

After listening to the apprentice's explanation of why there was no news for three days, Jiang Yumian nodded to express his understanding.

Eliminating demons is a major event, and it's normal to not be able to get distracted.

They haven't slept much in the past five days, even monks have to take a rest, so the two found a nearby mountain to fall down.

Pei Ming took out a futon, found a flat place to sit down, and was not picky.

Jiang Yumian arranged a formation barrier for him, so as not to be disturbed while meditating.

It was getting dark soon, and occasionally a few spiritual lights flashed on the mountain.

Jiang Yumian also sat down in the formation. He didn't take out any lighting, and looked up at the night.

There are very few stars, and a few here and there shine faintly.

The wind became colder at night, but it was blocked by the barrier.

Seeing that Pei Ming was meditating to absorb the spiritual energy, but Dongzhou's spiritual energy was not stable, he took out the spiritual stones and set up a spirit gathering array, so as to facilitate the apprentice's cultivation.
