The fairy is fierce

Tuofengling is located near Laoya Town in the upper reaches of Shajiang River. Outside the town is a mountain shaped like a camel hump, and there is a dilapidated Dragon King Temple outside.

Poshazhou is in a war-torn area. The locals have no way of knowing what happened a hundred years ago. The origin of the Dragon King Temple has long been buried in the dust of war and no one knows it.

At dusk, five figures appeared outside the Dragon King Temple, which had already collapsed for the most part. They stood in front of the old temple and talked softly:

“… Judging from the traces, the stone statues in the temple are at least hundreds of years old; the people built temples and shrines, mostly after accidentally witnessing the true appearance of immortals and monsters, they worshipped them as gods out of awe; since it has a dragon head and a human body, I guess it is a dragon that can transform into a human form…”

“Brother Zhao, you are a sword cultivator, and you still know these?”

“Master is a Taoist priest. Although he didn’t teach me hand in hand, he still told me these simple things. Baxue Xianchang has a profound Taoism and must know more than me.”

“This is not nonsense. Master Baxue is famous for his wisdom and courage. There is an old saying in Tiezhu Mansion, called ‘The brain of Tiezhu Mansion is shared by one stone, and the ancestor occupies eight buckets alone. , the Concubine Queen took two bowls, the Overlord Master took one bowl, and the rest of the people owed..."

"Jiujiang, you have to change your flattering nature, at least you have to learn to flatter the right place; for the men of my Tiezhu Mansion, being smart is not a compliment; being smart means that you can judge the situation and be timid in some cases. The men of my Tiezhu Mansion can do anything but not be timid. I don't let my brains be used. No matter what kind of immortal ancestor you are, if you dare to make a move, I will dare to make a move. If you dare to offend, I will dare to beat you to death. When this "advance without retreat" style is spread out, the opponent will be timid when he sees you, and will collapse without fighting..."

"I will teach you, thank you for your guidance..."

...

In a small forest about half a mile away from the Dragon King Temple, Cui Yingying, dressed as a mature and beautiful martial artist, pressed the handle of the curved knife at her waist, listened to the five people's idle talk, and couldn't help shaking her head secretly, In his heart, he said:

"Yutang, your disciples are all worse than the other."

After a long time, the old ancestor Shangguan, who had already returned from the Zuo Mansion and was almost fattened by Madam Zuo, responded in his heart:

"Not letting your brain work means overcoming your instincts and not letting fear, timidity and other emotions control your behavior; not giving up when you shouldn't do something, and dying when you should do something. A coward like you can't understand..."

"Really?"

"Hmph..."

After a rather arrogant snort, there was no sound.

Cui Yingying waited for a while but didn't see any answer. She was too lazy to stick her face to the plump and round cold butt of the old ancestor, and her eyes were cast back to the Dragon King Temple.

The five people in the Dragon King Temple were Shangguan Baxue and two fellow Taoists who were fighting monsters together. They came here to investigate the monks who lost contact in the Tuofeng Ridge area.

Cheng Jiujiang and Zhao Wuxie were originally traveling in Fulin. When they heard that Shangguan Baxue was coming to exorcise demons, they followed him to get a chance because the distance was not too far, just like following a big boss to kill monsters and pick up equipment.

However, the situation in Tuofengling was not as calm as the five people talked about.

Cui Yingying's combat power was not very high, but she was three thousand years older than ordinary cultivators.

She was originally following Zuo Lingquan as a little tail. After catching the river crab spirit, she went to the upper reaches first.

On the way, they observed the trend of the Shajiang River and saw that this river into the sea was a 'dragon road', that is, the route of inland dragons, which went into the river and turned into dragons. It was similar to the Qingdu River of the Nine Sects, but the scale was much smaller.

In addition to river fish, there are also snakes and eels that can go into the sea. As long as the spiritual vein of the Shajiang River is not broken, there must be a 'blessed land' for dragons to practice in the upper reaches.

After Cui Yingying came to Lion Camel Ridge, she found that the density of snakes in the forest was far higher than other places. The people in the town even made a living by catching snakes. So this "blessed land" was probably nearby.

However, there was nothing underground in Lion Camel Ridge. The area nearby was tens of miles away and thousands of miles away, so it was difficult to determine the location.

With Cui Yingying's Taoism, it was not difficult to investigate such things. However, Posuo Continent was a place where immortals and demons fought. The Jade-level Immortal Venerables were the main fighters, and the immortals of both the good and evil sides were in charge behind the scenes.

In such a place, Cui Yingying could only stand in the back as a nurse and wander around the front line by herself. If she was caught by the Youying alien race, she would probably have to meet her master.

Therefore, Cui Yingying was still timid. She wanted to ask the old ancestor Shangguan for his opinion, but the old ancestor was too lazy to pay attention to her, so she didn't ask. She just followed Shangguan Baxue and others and secretly observed clues.

Shangguan Baxue is a new generation of Qing Kui. His Taoism is the same as Zuo Lingquan, both of them are half-step jade steps, but he has more experience in slaying demons and eliminating monsters.

Shangguan Baxue speaks very rudely, but to be a Qing Kui of a sect, how can he really be a reckless man who "doesn't use his brains".

After leaving the Dragon King Temple, Shangguan Baxue brought four teammates to the Camel Peak Ridge area to explore. They found that there were more snakes in the Camel Peak Ridge area, but there were no other abnormalities.

Last time, the monks found that the location where the scholar worshipped the lonely grave could not be found. Shangguan Baxue simply deduced several possible locations of the grave based on the secular Feng Shui theory.

The following style of behavior was very Tiezhu Mansion. Several people showed their magical powers and began to dig all over the mountains. Since there were people or demons worshiping, it meant that the grave had special significance. If it was dug, the person behind the scenes would definitely jump out.

Cui Yingying felt that the success rate of this method was worrying, but after waiting in secret for a long time, the things hidden near Tuofeng Ridge were dug out by a few stupid young people...——

Along the Shajiang River, the setting sun shines on the river, turning the river water and the vegetation on the river bank into a golden red.

Three figures walked side by side, observing the surrounding mountains and fields along the way; a river crab the size of a millstone walked sideways by the river, holding a small wooden box in its claws. Zuo Lingquan gave it a small bottle of Qingdu River water essence, and it is now very peaceful. It became Tuanzi’s new mount.

Tuanzi couldn't eat the big crab, and was not interested. He lay on the crab shell with his little claws facing the sky, "cooing", probably reciting Qiutao's masterpiece:

A crab is half a foot long, and the crab shell is bigger than the pot; one day it is turned over, and fried with fennel and star anise...

Zuo Lingquan was not here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, so naturally he would not have the leisurely mood of Tuanzi. He put his hand on the hilt of his sword and looked at some of the stone walls on the river bank:

"The mountain walls on the river bank are relatively neat. They don't look like they were washed out by water, nor do they look like they were dug manually..."

"I'm afraid it was a big river in ancient times, or there was a big flood. When we passed that small village just now, there were stone buckles hanging ropes under the old bridge. They should have been used to hang swords. It is estimated that dragons passed by in this river..."

"Is there a dragon upstream?"

"Alas, dragons don't go back. If they don't enter the sea, they don't break through. They fail to cross the tribulation and die on the way. There must be no real dragons in the upper reaches, but there must be dragons in the upper reaches of the river that can transform into dragons. If there is a monster nest, , there is a high probability that it is related to the dragon and snake..."

Xie Qiutao carefully analyzed his views and said what he said was reasonable and well-founded. Zuo Lingquan did not take it as nonsense and listened very attentively.

Tang Jingxun didn't study these practices deeply, and it was hard to interrupt. When he was undecided, he naturally asked his mother-in-law in his heart.

But the Shangguan Patriarch is not a god of heaven and earth. He is sitting in the Nine Sects. How can he know the details of Posuzhou? He did not respond directly. Tang Jingxun had to turn his attention to the delicious and lazy Tuan Tuan:

"Tuanzi, go explore the road ahead and see where there are monsters. This will save us the trouble of searching."

"grumble."

Turning the dumpling over, he pointed his wings at his feet and said, "Mom, do you think this crab looks like a monster? If it does, Bird Bird will roast it now. Bird Bird will eat the crab legs, and the rest will be given to Mom..."

Unfortunately, before he finished nagging, he was given a fierce look by Jing Xun, so Tuanzi could only reluctantly fly out as a reconnaissance plane.

The three of them followed the river crab essence to explore upstream. When it was dark, they came to a tributary of the Shajiang River, about a hundred miles away from Tuofeng Ridge.

The river crab spirit seemed to be afraid of the small river upstream, so he became cautious when moving forward. He walked upstream along the river, entered the deep mountains and old forests, and came to an inaccessible water pool, pointing towards the deep black pool.

Zuo Lingquan calmed down his breath and came to the edge of the pool. Through the silver moonlight, he could see that the pool was very deep, with living water emerging from it. Not surprisingly, there was an underground river underneath, but there was no sign of evil spirit or spiritual energy in the water.

The river crab spirit stood on the edge of the pool, pointing with its crab claws at the gap under a big stone, probably to indicate that this was its hometown, and pointed at a few small sequins stuck in the cracks of the stone.

Xie Qiutao frowned slightly, and used the magic of object control to pick up the sequins stuck in the cracks of the stone. They were thumb-sized snake scales.

"There are different types of scales. There must be a snake cave under this pool; I guess there are demon monks practicing in that place. They casually discarded the bottle containing the elixir and the water washed it here..."

Zuo Lingquan did not question this statement. Human monks who have taken pills cannot always keep pill boxes and empty bottles on their bodies. Sometimes they just throw them away. High-level monks from the demon tribe can practice and take pills. , it is reasonable to leave such practice garbage behind.

Now that he roughly found the location, Zuo Lingquan wanted to follow the clues and sneak into the monster's lair from the pool.

But before he could make any move, Tuanzi, who was standing guard on the treetops, called out "chichi" twice and pointed its wings toward the depths of the mountain.

Zuo Lingquan raised his hand to signal for silence. After carefully sensing it, he found that there was a fierce aura that covered the sky and the sun, and it was definitely not coming from a human monk. Even if he encountered monsters only a few times, he could still distinguish them instantly. It's evil spirit.

Xie Qiutao's face changed slightly and he took off the iron pipa from behind:

"It's such a strong demonic spirit. Are you trying to scare someone away?"

Zuo Lingquan frowned and stared at the mountains: "It's not coming for us, it's probably a monster that alarmed others..."

"hold head high"

Before he finished speaking, a roar rang out from deep in the mountains. The sound was like the roar of a dragon, and it carried a soul-stirring ghostly and evil aura, which made people feel horrified when they heard it.

The already cautious River Crab Spirit was so frightened that he dived into the water and crawled into the narrow cracks in the rocks...——

rub rub

The sun had just set. On the shady slope of Tuofeng Ridge, in a wasteland overlooking the town below, Cheng Jiujiang took a shovel and dug a grave at the selected location.

All five people were digging, and there were as many as a hundred holes dug on the hillside. Tuofeng Ridge was located near the secular villages and towns. Several coffins and bones were dug out, but they were all mortal graves. They were filled back in after no abnormalities were found.

As for whether digging other people's graves would harm their virtue, Cheng Jiujiang and others did not feel any psychological pressure; because according to materialism, people have entered reincarnation after death, and the burial ground is just a rotten body without soul, no different from soil, wood, sand and stone; and according to idealism, they dig graves to remove monsters near the town and ensure that the surrounding people are not harmed by monsters. The people buried in the graves must be the ancestors of the villagers. Even if they know about it, they will not hate them for disturbing the peace.

Cheng Jiujiang did not remember how many graves he had dug. After digging four feet and one inch in the wasteland, the shovel pierced a hard object and made a light "clang" sound. By the feel of it, he knew that the coffin below was made of secular fir wood, definitely for mortals.

Cheng Jiujiang sighed and wanted to fill it back, but to be on the safe side, he still dug the soil away and prepared to open the coffin for autopsy.

This behavior completely crossed the bottom line of the dark man.

As soon as Cheng Jiujiang made a move, a gust of cold wind blew over Camel Hump Ridge, and dark clouds covered the silver moon that had just appeared.

Shangguan Baxue, Zhao Wuxie and others, noticing something was wrong, jumped out from all over the mountain, gathered in one place, and looked up at the top of Camel Hump Ridge.

Camel Hump Ridge was not high, with only a few old pine trees on the top of the mountain. At this time, a figure appeared between the pine trees at some point.

The figure was wearing a scholar's robe, bare-handed, and his face did not have any sense of demonic evil charm, but his eyes were like snake pupils, with a bit of coldness, staring at the five people below:

"You are all 'righteous' immortal masters, digging the place where ordinary people sleep in the middle of the night, don't you feel that you have lost your identity?"

The distance between the two sides was about one mile, and Shangguan Baxue could not see the details of this person, but he could tell from his eyes that he was definitely not a human. Seeing that the other party spoke like a human, he said in a deep voice:

"Who are you? Tell me your name."

The scholar on the top of the mountain did not hide the murderous intent in his eyes, but his tone was very peaceful:

"Xuan Ye. I was originally a small snake in the mountains. When I was young, I fell into a snake net and was rescued by an old farmer in the town. When I practiced and became enlightened, the old farmer had already passed away and was buried here, so I often come to worship. If you want to kill demons and exorcise monsters, just come to me. Why do you have to do such a dirty thing that even the demons are ashamed of?"

Cheng Jiujiang frowned, and it was a bit difficult to retort after being said.

Shangguan Baxue's face did not react. He had practiced for so many years and had already understood the nature of the demons.

It is not uncommon for demons to repay their gratitude, but this does not mean that they have a good impression of the human race. They are just grateful to someone who saved them in the past; if there were no snake nets of the human race, how could this snake demon be rescued by the old farmer? The demons generally hate the human race.

Because the demons were influenced by human culture, they also had names, but most of the names were related to their bloodline. Shangguan Baxue heard that the demon called himself Xuanye and his body was a snake, so he roughly guessed that the other party was a Xuan snake who had practiced Taoism.

Xuan snakes have the bloodline of divine beasts, are fierce and cold-blooded, and have humans in their diet. They will treat humans like chickens, ducks, cows and sheep. Like tiger demons and wolf demons, they are wild and difficult to tame.

At this time, the other party had the intention to kill but did not act, and even communicated with them verbally. The only possibility is that the other party was not convenient to act, otherwise they would have killed them long ago.

Shangguan Baxue raised his hand to fill the excavated wasteland and said in a deep voice:

"Since this tomb has been discovered, the tomb owner will not be able to rest in peace unless you die or we are silenced. Why bother talking nonsense?"

Xuan Ye, dressed as a scholar, snorted coldly and seemed to want to say something, but at this moment, a woman's voice suddenly sounded in the mountains:

"This is an illusion, the real body is eighty miles underground to the northwest."

Shangguan Baxue felt that the voice sounded familiar. After reacting, he was slightly stunned. He didn't say much, ignored the scholar, and rushed to the northwest.

Xuan Ye on the top of the mountain looked at the few people chasing to the northwest, his eyes were still calm and cold:

"You are seeking your own death."

The few people did not respond and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xuan Ye frowned, and his figure slowly dissipated in the pine forest. When he opened his eyes again, he had already reached the depths of the Snow Wolf Mountains, on a high peak.

Snow Wolf Mountains were covered with snow, and no vegetation or light could be seen. However, there was a group of people moving forward between the mountains, aiming directly at the peak where Xuan Ye was. The leader was a woman in a white dress with a green sword hanging from her waist.

Xuan Ye was not the only one on the peak. There was also a silver hill beside him. At first glance, it was covered with white snow. Only by looking closely could you find that the waves that rose and fell with the wind were silver hair as long as reeds. Above the hill was a pair of scarlet eyes, looking back at the Fulin Kingdom. The wolf head spoke in human language:

"Which side should we kill first?"

"The demon king has ordered that if we don't kill Qiu Youyou, we will behead the others and throw them to Wangchuan City."

"The little loach in the snake cave can't stop these little monkeys."

"Let's do business first."

...
