My Taoist companion just wants to welcome and refuse

The high-quality elixir given by Qingyan was extraordinary, and the middle-aged man's complexion began to improve within a moment after taking it.

Xia Qi squatted aside and checked for a while, the wounds on the opponent's body were not fatal, and there would be no serious problems after the poison was detoxified.

"Who is this person?"

Fu Wan: "I don't know."

Xia Qi: "...The demon hunter actually expanded his bodyguard business?"

"..." Fu Wan kicked people, but didn't see any reaction, and frowned impatiently, "I passed by here last night, and I was trapped in a group of one-eyed apes. I could handle it easily, but this casual cultivator doesn't know what kind of muscle it is." I made a mistake, rushed in and said to save me, but I turned around and was knocked down, getting in the way."

Fu Wan solved it calmly, the blood scum didn't even touch the corner of his clothes, but casual cultivators couldn't last long after being poisoned, and he didn't bring any interpretation medicine with him, so he had no choice but to use the shadow ring to ask for help.

The trip was delayed, and I was already a little unhappy. Seeing that it was Xia Qi who responded to the call for help, he was also carrying a high-grade medicine... He must have won a lot of rewards again, and Fu Wan felt even worse for a while.

Xia Qi is the sect master's personal apprentice, young, extremely talented and desperate to practice swords, from the beginning of Qi training to foundation building in just five years, he is quite talented.But Fu Wan has never been used to this kid's self-important appearance, so he looks for him every day to learn from him.

There are many demon hunters at critical moments when their lives are on the line. Unlike other sects who give advice until they can, they recruit fiercely and leave no way out. He has no reason to show mercy to Xia Qi's subordinates.

Who knew that this kind of persecution would be like a trick to Xia Qi, this kid became more and more courageous as he fought, and soon his winning rate was extremely high...

Thinking of this, he glanced at Xia Qi with a complicated mood, and was a little surprised to see that the person hadn't left yet.

Usually this kid doesn't squint at anyone, why is he willing to stay with others for a while now?

Xia Qi didn't pay attention to his colleague who was distracted, he found that the comatose casual cultivator slowly woke up.

It took a moment for the scattershot eyes to gather, and he talked about the whole story in a trance.

Sanxiu's name is Lin Ming, from Yunxia Town, Lingzhou, and a few years ago, he and his friends found a job in the Longzhou Escort Bureau.

A few days ago, I heard that the demons in my hometown were serious, and I felt that I had earned enough money. I planned to go home, but I encountered a monster on the road, and my friend died unfortunately. He escaped, but saw his dead friend besieged by a group of strange apes , He ran to save people without thinking much.

Xia Qi understood that the place where the one-eyed ape appeared was already filled with hallucinogenic evil spirits. Stimulated by the loss of his friend, Lin Ming said unpreparedly, regarded Fu Wan as his friend, and plunged into the pile of one-eyed apes .

Lin Ming's mind gradually cleared up, and he looked at the appearance of the two benefactors through the thin moonlight. Just about to be grateful, he suddenly noticed the black cloaks on the two of them, which were darker than the night.

Black cloaks are very common, but the fine silver lines flowing with moonlight on them are the strokes of runes, and there is hidden aura between the walks, and the ring with dark blue face...

Lin Ming suddenly remembered the rumors circulating among the monks that demon hunters cannibalize people without blinking an eye. Anyone who benefits from them will be rewarded by taking away the most important things on him...

For no reason, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back in the cool dawn of early spring. Lin Ming was terrified of falling into a tiger's lair in a fire pit. A mouthful of water...

Fu Wan kept his hands still and watched coldly.

Xia Qi hurriedly scooped up the man, shook off the water drops, and the man in his hands trembled from the shaking.

"...what do you want, don't take my eyes away, I want to go home to see my daughter..."

Xia Qi was stunned, and almost laughed out loud. The middle-aged man in his hand really didn't look like a returning home in brocade clothes. The wet clothes stuck to his body and there was only a skeleton left. What kind of image is it, almost catching up with the strange story about a child crying at night."

Fu Wan said calmly: "Before he fell into a coma, I said I would swallow him alive if he was not quiet."

Xia Qi praised from the bottom of his heart: "...Half of the credit is due to you."

Fu Wan raised his eyebrows arrogantly, not wanting to do any self-criticism, "In that case, take out his money bag."

Xia Qi: "..."

The style is low!

Lin Ming grabbed the purse and struggled even more fiercely: "...You guys should take my eyes away!"

Xia Qi: "..."

This is too ambitious!

As dusk approached, the golden crow gradually sank to the west, sliding towards the gently undulating black mountains in the distance, and the tired birds became mottled spots on the glazed clouds.

Xia Qi and Fu Wan Yujian rushed to Jindu, Lin Ming and Fu Wan shared the ride, shivering without the previous trembling, but as if afraid of being rubbed by the black cloak blown up by the strong wind, quietly cowering at the end.

Xia Qi glanced at the middle-aged man who was about to fall before retreating: "Do you know what happened to the demon in Lingzhou recently?"

Lin Ming froze and cleared his throat: "On the way back, I met people who escaped from Lingzhou. They said that some people disappeared for no reason. In troubled times, the government didn't pay much attention to the disappearance until Loose cultivators also disappeared one after another strangely, Chang Yao sensed something was wrong, sent his disciples out to investigate, but never came back..."

Fu Wan couldn't see anything special about it: "The devil will swallow people alive, and it's normal to leave no trace."

Lin Ming shook his head with a strange expression: "More than that, I finally found the bodies of some missing persons. Judging from the wounds on their bodies, they were killed by the same dead companions, and their expressions were extremely strange, ranging from horror to ecstasy... It is said that there The remaining monk said that he was killed by his enemy, but his enemy was killed by him a few years ago..."

Lin Ming became colder as he spoke, and touched the goose bumps on his arms.

"Cultivators are still afraid of ghosts?" Fu Wan sneered, looking at Xia Qi, "Could it be caused by some hallucinogenic plants, Lingzhou has a lot of spiritual grass, dense waters, frequent occurrence of poisonous miasma, and it is possible to become confused after eating it by mistake. Nanfeng over there There are a lot of shrubs and some pretty fungi growing, last time Sister Ying and Yang Feng went there, Yang Feng ate it by mistake, insisting that he saw a few Nanfeng girls in cool clothes dancing around him."

One of the seven envoys appeared in Xia Qi's mind, and he thought that this man looked quite serious, what was he pretending in his mind: "... Chang Yao is also proficient in medical science, if it is so simple, it will not be hard to see. And seeing the phantom of an old friend when he is dying, forget about relatives and friends, no one expects the enemy to pick him up and walk on the road to Huangquan, how lively it will be."

Fu Wan: "..."

How did this Xia Qi change, he seemed so lively when he was unblocked after decades of holding back.

The two chattered loosely, but they still had a rough guess in their hearts.

Nowadays, most of Yunzhang's demons exist in the form of monsters and monsters. Killing people is also a straightforward way. If it is flashy, it may be just a means. This is like a demon that controls the mind or creates illusions.

The afterglow in the sky was about to fade away, and the three of them approached the last village outside Jinzhou City.

Xia Qi and Fu Wan's identities are sensitive, so in order to avoid being too conspicuous, they went on foot instead.

Since entering Lingzhou, most of the villages along the way are as deserted as the village where Xia Qi killed Xiexiu. They were either destroyed by demons, or Chang Yao disciples moved people to another place and garrisoned them.

This village closest to Jindu is a stronghold of common people.

The defensive magic circle formed a circle around the village, and there is still demonic energy left after the war in the lush greenery outside. Disciple Chang Yao and some Sanxiu are cleaning it up to avoid attracting more demons after leaving it for a long time. The three of them stood guard and looked over, seeing that they had no intention of approaching the village, they left hesitantly.

Most of the people in the walking village were injured, Yan Yan hung his head, and the young people with minor injuries helped the monks to do some physical work.

A hole was opened in the hidden place of the village, and some people who had been infected with the demonic energy were quietly carried out. They still had one breath left, but they were on the verge of becoming demonic.

The old woman who staggered home found that her son lying on the bed had disappeared. She staggered and looked around, crying sadly... Across the wall, a talisman fire quietly burned several corpses. The light does not enter the eyes.

Xia Qi faced such a scene for the first time since returning from emotional perception, and forgot to hurry.

And there are villages like this all over the state border.

The village in front of me is considered to be in a better condition because it is close to Jinzhou. Some remote villages, by the time the monks arrived, the entire village had already lost its skeleton.

The government will also open warehouses to provide relief, but there is nothing they can do in case of evil, not to mention the turmoil in the court, and it is difficult for them to protect themselves.

Fu Wan didn't urge her, and rested her elbow on the handle of the knife at her waist: "In recent years, there have been wars and chaos, and monsters have also added to the chaos. Mortals are precarious, and monks have few resources... The spiritual energy in the world is thin, and the cultivation is slow. The disciples of each sect are elected. , There are fewer and fewer people who can detect inspiration, and there are even monks who take advantage of evil and heretics to stir up the water."

The magic energy gradually became stronger, but the monk became more passive.

Lin Ming stared at Fu Huo, his face turned pale, and he said dryly: "In the past... young and strong people all went to Jindu to find a job. After a long time, mortals and monks are exhausted, and life has to go on, Jindu can't accommodate so many people, most people still want to stay in familiar places, there are fields and houses, and there is an area where Chang Yao's disciples are stationed."

As a casual cultivator, he has already entered the ranks of monks in the mid-stage of Qi training, but now that the world has no peace of mind to practice, he wants to take risks to make a fortune so that the whole family can live a little better.

But what he saw and heard along the way made him more and more anxious. He wondered what happened to his family members who hadn't seen each other for several years and lost news...

Xia Qi rarely left Xiaoshan in the past five years, thinking that Xiaoshan was the front line to face the monsters and beasts, and there was no more dangerous place than there, but he didn't expect the demons to leave more shocking traces in other places.

The three of them walked in silence for a while, and the cornices of Jinzhou City Gate were exposed from among the treetops not far away. Lin Ming stopped at the fork in the road, looking for words at a loss.

Xia Qi understood and let him leave on his own.

Lin Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully glanced at Fu Wan.

Thinking about it, Fu Wan said that thinking about the purse was also to scare him, but she didn't show any expression and didn't bother to speak.

Lin Ming thanked Dede gratefully before leaving without looking back. If it hadn't been for these two demon hunters, who were not as scary as the rumors said, for saving him and driving him on the road, he wouldn't have arrived so soon.

Xia Qi glanced at the heavily guarded city gate: "How is Xiaoshan?"

Lingzhou is like this, Xiaoshan should not be much better.He has been away from Xiaoshan for three months in order to track down and kill the evil cultivator.

Fu Wan's brows showed some worry: "The battle line is stretched too long, a little weak, and wears out too quickly. Some time ago, the door owner ordered a batch of armor replacements from Chang Yao, but he didn't receive any news when the agreed handover time came. I happened to be nearby , and went to have a look."

Chang Yao is good at refining weapons, and his exquisite craftsmanship is not inferior to that of Lingying Mountain a hundred years ago. The shadow ring of the demon hunter came from Chang Yao.

Xia Qi nodded, presumably the Qing banquet has already arrived in Jindu, I don't know what's going on, what are you doing...

Fu Wan glanced at him: "What are you going to Lingzhou for?"

Xia Qi didn't raise his head: "Look for a Taoist companion."

After a moment of silence, Fu Wan held onto the handle of the knife stiffly, "...Could it be that you are still in the illusion?"

Xia Qi: "..."

Fu Wan's eyes fell on Xia Qi's face, and she re-examined solemnly, as if she knew him for the first time.

After confirming that it was Xia Qi, he stamped his feet in shock: "Wait, may I ask, do you know how to write these two characters? Who are you thinking about..."

All men in Xiaoshan who only know how to cultivate are likely to fall in love, but this is the only one who can't... Who is so unlucky!

Xia Qi was a little curious about other people's impressions of his Taoist couple, so he touched his chin: "How about the three Cangcheng monks?"

Fu Wan's face was blank for a moment, and he smacked again as if he didn't hear clearly: "...the three Cangcheng priests? If you say that you want to fight, even though you are bold, you can understand..."

What did this man just say?Taoist?Then he glanced at him with the imminent gaze, "Let's not mention gender, did you choose the object of pursuit at the speed of being beaten and disabled? They have nothing to do with love after three glances..."

Has Xia Qi's mind been lost in the miasma?

Seeing Fu Wan's reaction, Xia Qi was even more interested: "According to the story in the script, shouldn't they be the white moonlight of monk Quan Yunzhang?"

It turns out that Xia Qi learned about the three gods from those messy scripts?This kid is also considered his younger brother, so I have to persuade him to give up this idea as soon as possible. If Cang Li is angered, Xiaoshan won't be hurt if he hits the door.

"Tsk, Bai Yueguang, it's fine to clear the clouds... When you seldom come out of Xiaoshan, you probably haven't met the three Cang Li, but the sword of Qingyan is fierce and strong... Bai Yueguang just asked for it." Don't dare to think about it, who dares to think about the Qingyan banquet, I'm tired of work."

Xia Qi couldn't help laughing, if the environment didn't allow it, he would have eaten and listened to gossip.

After all, in the previous relationships, someone was not like this image.

Fu Wan had nothing to do, so he chatted with him.

"A hundred years ago, Lingying Mountain was destroyed, and monsters and monsters made troubles everywhere. Xiaoshan was the first line of defense in the world. Among all the sects, Cang Li was the first to go to Yunzhang to eliminate demons. It can be said that Xiaoshan and Xiaoshan took the first place to resist demons. The most important position to suffer from. Later, the master of Cangcheng, Yiheng, spent more and more time in seclusion, and the three masters began to take charge of Cangcheng. Qingyan is Yunzhang's well-deserved number one sword cultivator, and as the acting master, his skills are even more extraordinary...

"Sixty years ago, Qing Yan defended the defense line on the east coast with one man and one sword. That sword split the mountain and filled the sea, causing raging waves to roll the monster beasts that attacked from the sea and fell into the deep sea. Then, 60 years ago, he I have come to Xiaoshan to help, and I have some relationship with the sect master..."

Xia Qi understands Qingyan's deeds as if he was obedient to a story. Others say that Qingyan is highly respected, unreachable like the lonely moon in the sky, and admirable.

In addition to the novelty and strangeness, there is a faint sense of joy and pride.
