Senior sister, don't be stubborn, you are already invincible.

All the way up the mountain.

This is a narrow intestinal trail.

Xiao Tao was sitting in the sedan chair, looking at the unfamiliar scenes around her. She felt a faint panic rising in her heart, but she still clenched her palms tightly and tried to pretend to be calm.

"Everyone, please rest where you are for a while. We will reach the mountain stronghold in two quarters of an hour."

The bandit leader suddenly spoke up, breaking the moment of silence.

Unconsciously, the sedan has stopped.

The chirping of insects in the forest is still there, but there is no longer the hustle and bustle of the past.

I don’t know how long it took, but it seemed like a moment.

Silence came again.

The howling wind seemed to have stopped blowing, and Xiao Tao's tense heartstrings relaxed slightly, but soon became tense again.

A strong smell of blood came to the nostrils.

Xiaotao's breathing couldn't help but stagnate, and she secretly guessed what was going on outside and what happened.

At this time, the sedan curtain was lifted open.

A pair of hands with sharp joints stretched out.

Xiao Tao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her heart seemed to be hit so hard that it almost jumped out of her chest.

A feeling of extreme danger swept over her, and she suddenly opened her hijab, facing a pair of dark and deep eyes.

The man was dressed in a white robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and his figure was slender and straight, like a handsome young man walking out of a painting.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Xiao Tao pressed her hands tightly against her chest, forcing herself to steady her mind, and asked stammeringly.

"Ah......"

The man chuckled softly, with a hint of coldness in his laughter.

He did not answer her question directly, but withdrew his hand and said: "I have solved them all, come out."

Xiao Tao's body shook, and a look of shock and horror flashed across her face.

All those bandits were killed by him? !

She couldn't believe it.

Biting her lower lip, Xiao Tao finally summoned up the courage to step out of the sedan.

She glanced at the corpses of the bandits and gasped.

I saw that the throats of those bandits were penetrated by unknown things, blood gurgled out, and their eyes were wide open, as if they would not rest in peace.

Xiaotao rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

He actually died!

"You, if you kill them, the people in Qinglong Village will definitely retaliate against you, you..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted.

"It's okay."

The man's voice was calm, "Even if they don't come to retaliate against me, I will destroy them."

Xiao Tao was suffocated, not knowing what to say.

Although the bandits are weak, they should not be underestimated.

How could he say such arrogant words!

"Who the hell are you?"

She couldn't help asking.

"I?"

The man lowered his eyebrows and seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he replied: "An ordinary ordinary person."

Ordinary people? !

Xiaotao twitched the corner of her mouth, somewhat dumbfounded.

With the appearance, posture, and aura of the person in front of me, there is no way it can be described as ordinary.

However, others obviously didn't want to say more, so she stopped asking too many questions.

"My name is Xiao Tao. Thank you very much, Master, for rescuing me."

Qi Pingan's eyes stayed on her face for a moment, nodded, and walked up the mountain.

"Young master, are you going to find people from Qinglong Village?"

Xiao Tao followed.

"Yeah." Qi Pingan responded.

"Qinglong Village is not someone to be trifled with. There are [-] brothers in their village. They are large in number and highly skilled in martial arts. They even have monks in charge."

Qi Pingan continued to move forward without stopping.

Xiao Tao called again: "Master..."

Qi Ping'an paused slightly, turned around slowly and looked at her: "Wait here for a while, I will send you back after settling the matter in Qinglong Village."

"Are you going alone?"

Xiaotao was a little worried.

But the person in front of me had already moved forward and disappeared into the night.

……

Flowers are blooming and butterflies are flying on the streets, and the country is still different from what it was in the past.

Qi Pingan originally planned to return to his hometown for a visit.

Unexpectedly, Qijia Village, which was burned to ruins, would now become popular again.

After hearing what the old woman said, he had been hesitating whether to take action or not.

This reminded him of the time when he spent countless days and nights regretting his failure to prevent the destruction of Qijia Village.

Now, he doesn't want to see the same tragedy happen again.

So, he came here.

The lights in Qinglong Village are brightly lit.

It was late at night, and the bandits were still drinking and punching around the campfire, playing and laughing.

But the laughter soon stopped.

Scarlet blood sprayed out from their throats, pooled into a river, and dyed the surroundings red.

The dead bandits all widened their eyes in horror, their eyeballs protruding from their sockets.

……

"Young Master has solved everything so quickly?" Xiao Tao was surprised to see him back.

Qi Pingan nodded slightly.

"Sir, how did you do it? Are you a monk?"

Xiaotao asked curiously.

Qi Ping'an didn't answer again.

When the sky breaks out, the Qijia Village of the past is already in sight.

At this moment, Xiaotao realized that she was saved!

Tears welled up in his eyes, and he was so excited that he could hardly speak.

"Sir, thank you for saving me. There is no way I can repay you for saving my life."

Xiaotao knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to Qi Ping'an.

Qi Pingan waved his hand.

Rather than saving her, it is better to say that he saved his helpless self.

"Get up," he said.

Xiao Tao stood up, looked into Qi Ping'an's eyes, and said seriously: "Xiao Tao will remember this kindness in her heart for the rest of her life. If there is any need for help, just ask the young master, and Xiao Tao will not refuse."

Qi Ping'an still didn't speak, turned and left.

Goodbye, Qijia Village.

It's time for him to go to the next place to settle the cause and effect.

only......

Qi Ping'an looked at the two tombstones in front of him, with a flash of complexity in his eyes.

From then on, he was the only one left in Qijia Village.

The wheel of time is rolling forward.

He thought he should go back.

Tianwu Continent, goodbye!

……

-

"Master Jin, I'm back."

The golden-scaled lion lazily raised his head and looked in the direction of the door, narrowing his copper bell eyes.

After being apart for a while, it felt like Qi Ping'an had changed.

I can't tell exactly what has changed.

All in all, I feel much calmer and tougher than before.

"Ah."

The golden-scaled lion yawned, turned over, and continued to lie on the ground to prepare for sleep.

Suddenly a cold word floated into its ears.

"Already Nascent Soul? Not bad."

The golden-scaled lion was startled and quickly climbed up from the ground, turning around and looking in the direction of the room.

Tang Shi stood there quietly, his crescent-white clothes reflecting the dazzling light in the sun, making people dare not look at him.

"Master, you are awake!"

Tang Shi nodded slightly.

Qi Ping'an hummed, and replied with a warm smile on his face: "I also went to Tianwu Continent."

"What are you doing in Tianwu Continent?" The golden-scaled lion shrugged his nose and asked in confusion.

Tang Shi walked slowly to the stone table in the courtyard, sat down, poured himself a cup of herbal tea, took a leisurely sip, and said, "It's probably about slaying the inner demons and cutting off the cause and effect."
