When the devil

The place where the Demon Hunting Conference was held was in the valley north of the confluence of the Jinchuan River. The terrain there was low, the soil was wet, the forest was dense, and there was not much sunlight. It was very suitable for breeding evil spirits.So this land was enclosed by the Guo Mansion, and some little monsters were put in there for the entertainment of the rich and powerful people with special hobbies.

Wei Ling was the last one to arrive. He rode a white steed. He was dressed in a white robe and an indigo cloak. He would nod and smile when he greeted people. There is a horse on each side of him, but Xia Zhou's horse walks comfortably, and he is lazy on the horse, while Mochi is pulling the rope tightly, and has been looking around since he came in, as if he was on guard for something.

Gu Yuan was absent today. It is rumored that he was so drunk last night that he fell down, his forehead was broken and bleeding, and he couldn't get up when he lay down. Xia Zhou, with "guilt" in his heart, asked Murong Chenhao to take care of Gu Yuan's aftermath, but he was gone forever. Back then, I don't know if he will come to the Demon Hunting Conference.

Mochi changed to a new bow and arrow, which was given by Murong Chenhao, and when he went out in the morning, he showed it off to Wei Ling for a while, Wei Ling praised him a few words, and asked casually: "Yesterday you went to buy a bow? "

"Of course not!" Mochi thought of what he had experienced yesterday and Murong Chenhao's words of keeping quiet. He held back for a while, not knowing what to say and what not to say. Finally, he couldn't hold back and said secretly Then he said: "Master, I don't think that Yuan Chun is a good person."

Unexpectedly, when he reminded this sentence, instead of being surprised, Wei Ling nodded slightly: "Well, I will pay attention to her."

Mochi blinked, feeling inexplicably happy, my God!This is the first time in his life that he gave advice to Master and was recognized by Master!

Xia Zhou looked at Mo Chi from the side, and said playfully, "It seems that you and Chen Hao gained a lot yesterday."

Mochi was still proud: "Chen Hao told me that the one with Yuan Chun is our enemy." After thinking about it, he felt wrong, and said: "I think it makes sense, but my wife should not be our enemy."

Xia Zhou said unhurriedly: "That is to say, you saw your mistress and Yuan Chun together?"

"Ah, yes, no!" Mochi patted his mouth, and when Wei Ling turned his head to look over, he patted again: "Chen Hao told me to keep quiet...Master, Xia Maomao, You have to keep it a secret for me..."

Wei Ling: "..."

Xia Zhou: "Haha."

Murong Chenhao's thoughts are easy to guess. He told Mochi to keep quiet, not because he wanted to hide Wei Ling and Xia Zhou. With Murong Chenhao's clever mind, he had expected that Mochi would not be able to hide secrets from Wei Ling. , push back his thoughts, from a more comprehensive point of view, that is to convey the meaning of "there is such a thing" through the ink pool, and "this matter is hidden, so it is not appropriate to startle the snake".

It is not surprising that the Taili Academy has contacts with Xue Qingqing. They may be planning something, and what they need to do now is to wait and see what happens, rather than get to the bottom of it.

Therefore, although the three of them had their own thoughts on this matter, they all agreed that they didn't mention it much.

The hunting ground of the Demon Hunting Conference was just ahead, and it was just the calm before the storm.

The main seat was Yu Wanfeng, the president of the Taili Academy, sitting in person, and Guo Xianhou, who was next to him, brought many beautiful women to accompany him. Serious, or come for fun.

Not far away, the hunting people were also in high spirits, including Xue Qingqing. She was wearing a war robe and her weapon was a long knife. , with a smile on her face, as if she was here to play, when she turned her head and saw Wei Ling, she smiled politely, with a humble and lovely attitude.

Xia Zhou raised his head to look around, and said after finishing, "Why isn't that General Bai here? It's just this group of thugs who still want to kill me?"

He cared about Bai Lie not because Bai Lie was highly criticized, but because he felt that Bai Lie had a delicious smell, and if he really wanted to kill him, he would use his brains a little bit along the way.

Wei Ling didn't think about it, he really thought that Xia Zhou was looking for an opponent, and persuaded him: "No matter how powerful Bai Lie is, he is an upright opponent. It's tricky."

Xia Zhou smiled and said, "Well, then you have to protect me well."

Wei Ling looked at him without a sense of crisis, and sighed from the bottom of his heart. Xia Zhou's arrogance and arrogance are deeply rooted. No matter how Wei Ling plays up the seriousness of the matter, it will become "A Ling" in Xia Zhou's ears again. Are you caring about me?" "A Ling, you really love me." With such inexplicable words, Wei Ling was too lazy to annoy herself, and had no desire to speak.

But his sigh was heard by Xia Zhou, and a nondescript smile appeared on his handsome face, and he was about to speak, but Wei Ling saw Yuan Chun coming towards him, and he slapped Xia Zhou's face, blocking him from himself Behind him, he greeted Yuan Chun very politely: "Miss Yuan."

"It's really an honor for the Taili Academy to have the Immortal Venerable and Pavilion Master Xia today. Please, please."

Yuan Chun smiled cutely, with big eyes twinkling, as if he was innocent.She didn't know that she had been classified as a "wicked person" by Murong Chenhao, and she hinted at it to Wei Ling and the others obliquely.Seeing each other again like this is just to greet each other with a smile, each with their own ghosts.

After exchanging pleasantries, Yuan Chun led the three of them to the banquet.

Xia Zhou looked at Yu Wanfeng, and said leisurely: "Your principal is in a good mood."

Yuan Chun said: "The dean wants to improve his interest, but he lacks companionship. The dean will definitely be very happy if all the interests of Pavilion Master Xia go and sit there."

Then, she boasted about Yu Wanfeng from head to toe. Xiazhou people did not get off their horses, and listened quietly for a while, and said: "I, Shuiyue Pavilion, is just a Jianghu gang, and I won't go when I take the seat." After finishing speaking, he Pulling the horse around in a circle, he rode the horse towards the forest.

"Me, me too..." Mochi saw Xue Qingqing, didn't know how to deal with it, and ran away with Xia Zhou in a moment of anxiety.

To outsiders it looked as if the two of them were enthusiastic about the hunt.

"Why are you so out of touch? The Zhao family has always loved dealing with people in the world." Yuan Chun said, but walked in the opposite direction. As a member of the Taili Academy, she must have understood Xia Zhou's identity in her heart. Zhang Xiao's face is full of fear, wishing to hide as far away as possible.

"Let me go." Wei Ling got off the horse and said, "The two of them are very playful, and they can't wait to go hunting."

Yuan Chun laughed and raised two lovely dimples: "Speaking of which, the Immortal is also going to hunt today?"

Wei Ling said, "Well, since it's a monster hunting conference, monster hunting is the main show, right?"

Yuan Chun blinked, and smiled awkwardly after a while: "Haha, yes, you can say that."

When the two were walking towards the banquet, they happened to pass by Xue Qingqing. When their eyes met, Xue Qingqing smiled slightly.

"Xue Qingqing likes great beauties like the Immortal Venerable the most." Yuan Chun muttered, and then quickly covered his mouth: "Ah, I'm sorry, the Immortal Venerable is not to blame."

In the final analysis, Wei Ling had no way of guessing what Xue Qingqing thought about Cheng Yingjie's matter, at least on the surface, she didn't look worried.

"By the way, Xianzun, you don't have to be too restrictive about Brother Yingjie. I heard from the dean that he is seriously introspecting. Sister Qing'er is also a very reasonable person. Just now she told me that she wanted to see Xianzun hunting monsters. What a mighty and heroic figure." Yuan Chun talked eloquently, laughing while talking, her eyes were full of affection, which made her ruddy melon-seeded face very cute.

Xue Qingqing said: "There are some misunderstandings, it's useless to talk about it now, I have to let Yingjie talk about it in person."

Yuan Chun added: "Miss Qing'er is worthy of being a hero in the female school, so I admire your disposition of distinguishing between black and white." After she finished speaking, she sensed something was wrong again, and patted her mouth with her jade finger: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. , I'm not talking about Brother Yingjie."

Xue Qingqing smiled: "I heard that there will be a decree to reward this time at the Demon Hunting Conference, so I have to work harder and go ahead." She clasped her fists in salute, turned and left.

After Yuan Chun watched her leave, he turned to Wei Ling and asked, "Brother Yingjie was a helper for the tiger, but there are actually some difficulties. I heard that after the accident in Liuli Mountain, he led people to station at the foot of Liuli Mountain for a long time, and helped kill many monsters and saved many. Disciple, Xianzun, to tell you the truth, his actions have really caused a lot of trouble for our Taili Academy, and I guarantee on my personality that the matter of Liuli Mountain has nothing to do with our Taili Academy—" she said as she said While trotting forward two steps, the seat was not far away, she smiled brightly: "Xianzun, I see you are so calm, have you already guessed something?"

Wei Ling seemed to dismiss her: "I let you finish talking, I still need to guess?"

Yuan Chun was stunned for a moment: "Hey, Xianzun, are you praising me or hurting me...!"

"I'm boasting."

"That doesn't sound like it."

"You should think about it more."

Yuan Chun always felt that Wei Ling was gentle and kind-hearted, but after saying a few more words, she felt that she was being bullied, and it was weird to think about it. She rubbed her brows, greeted her with a smile and continued to chatter about other things.

At this moment, Xia Zhou is leisurely riding a horse at the entrance of the dense forest. There is a powerful demon sealing barrier around the forest. If he gets close to it, he can feel a sense of numbness and discomfort. It would be uncomfortable to change to other little monsters.

This is a very cruel thing. If you think about it as a human being, it is probably throwing mortals with cramp and broken bones and leaving them in one place to be hacked and killed. It is really wicked for someone who can come up with this kind of game.

Somewhat strange, there is no monster thinking in the air, but the smell of human blood.

Xia Zhou looked into the forest and suddenly became interested.

"Where are you going?" Seeing that he suddenly left his horse and walked into the woods, Mochi couldn't help but also chased him.

"The smell of blood." Xia Zhou didn't look back: "You smell it."

Mochi frowned, stretched his nose and smelled nothing for a long time, seeing Xia Zhou walking deeper and deeper, he panicked for a while, and chased him even tighter: "Hey, Xia Maomao, don't run around, wait a while Master would scold someone if he knew."

Xia Zhou said: "Then you wait here, if Ah Ling asks, you just say I went to play."

"Ah? Playing...? Playing for what!" Mochi blinked, but in just this blink of an eye, Xia Zhou, who was in front of him just now, had disappeared.

"Hey!! Xia Mao Mao, don't hurt me!"

The little apprentice panicked, saw the leaves still swaying in the distance, and hurriedly chased after him.

A few years ago, Mochi had nothing to do on Liuli Mountain. When he was free, he went to the back mountain to chase rabbits, hunt pheasants and roast them for food. Unknowingly, he developed hunting skills. The speed was also much faster than that of the rabbit and the pheasant, but with his superb skills, Mochi caught up with Xia Zhou within a short while.

At this time Xia Zhou was standing on a high place of a big tree, when the ink pool came up, the whole branch sank.

"Where is the smell of blood?" Mo Chi showed a cheated expression.

Xia Zhou raised his chin towards the distance: "Look."

Mochi squinted his eyes vigorously in the direction Xiazhou pointed, but there was a valley over there, covered by leaves above, and he couldn't see anything. Just when he wanted to ask further questions, he suddenly saw a small The figures are moving.

"Is there someone?" It was too far away to see clearly.

"There are people." Xia Zhou was quite at ease: "There are quite a few lying on the ground."

"Can you see this clearly?"

"That is, my eyes, mortals are incomparable." After finishing speaking, Xia Zhou ran away again, this time at a slower speed, heading in the direction of the figure.

"Hey! Please, Xiamaomao...don't run around." Mochi could only cry without tears, and chased after him.

***

By the time Wei Ling and Yu Wanfeng finished exchanging greetings, Xia Zhou and Mochi had long since disappeared, and there were only two horses grazing aimlessly in the open space outside the dense forest.

Yuan Chun shook his arms and sighed: "Oh, the two adults are really fast, and they are really enthusiastic about hunting. Forgive my little girl for being bold, since the immortal is on the order, how about going with the little girl?"

Wei Ling glanced at the forest from a distance, the enchantment of the demon seal was intact, although Xia Zhou entered, he didn't use any demon power, his aura was already weak, and he couldn't find it without using the demon power. Finding him in the forest is like finding a needle in a haystack.

"Okay." Wei Ling didn't mind who he was walking with, but... "Is there a big monster in this forest?"

Yuan Chun hehe said: "It didn't happen originally. Not only is the forest tightly sealed by the demon-sealing barrier, but the little monsters inside are all lingering. It's called the Monster Hunting Conference, but it's actually hide-and-seek. As long as you can find them , three-year-olds can hunt."

Wei Ling was surprised: "I heard that the Monster Hunting Conference is to test the new disciples of the Taili Academy. According to Miss Yuan, isn't it just a play on the spot?"

"Master Wei, the demon hunting conference is just a gimmick. It's hard to tell who is the prey." Yuan Chun was suspicious, half-covering his mouth and approaching Wei Ling's ear: "Guess, the Guo family will find a way to kill us secretly?"

The distance was too close, so Wei Ling stepped aside a little: "Yu Wanfeng sits in the town himself, how dare the Guo family move?"

Yuan Chun said with a smile in his eyes: "I thought about it too. Guo Xianhou was dying, and he took out all the treasures at the bottom of the box and offered them to Grand Master Yu. Maybe the grand master was in a good mood and spared his life?"

"..."

What Yuan Chun said seems to be verifying Xia Zhou's speculation before, and now it can almost be confirmed that the things hidden by Guo Xianhou are the scales of Canglin. For them, the Taili Academy's pursuit of the highest realm of immortality is indeed a treasure that they have been thinking about. .

... However, Wei Ling couldn't think of the consequences of falling into the hands of the Taili Academy.

"But it's strange to say that you made a big fuss at Guo's house before, and our Taili Courtyard went to clean up the mess. In the end...the bamboo basket was empty for fetching water, and the good things in the basement were stolen!" Yuan Chun snapped He patted his head, showing a helpless expression.

Wei Ling was startled, and looked at Yuan Chun: "Steal empty?"

"Yes, maybe it was hidden by him, maybe someone took advantage of it... Oh, I can't guess this without evidence, anyway, I have to be scolded."

"..."

impossible.

At that time, the Taili Court clearly surrounded the Guo Mansion, who could transfer Cang Lin's scales silently under the guard of such a powerful Dharma Attendant?

"Not only that, Guo Xianhou came here today empty-handed, I think he is already broken, and he is doomed to die." Yuan Chun replied with a hearty smile from Wei Ling: "Let's take care of the immortal."
