The salted fish attack made the master carry the cub

The three of them walked all the way with the tracing talisman, and finally the talisman stopped in front of a pavilion.

This pavilion is not anywhere else, it is the place where it was said to be a "cowshed" thousands of years ago, and where immortals ascended.

Ji Sheng looked around wonderingly, but he didn't see the two figures he was looking for.

"Maybe the spell has failed, or the direction is wrong?"

Qi Wushen said this, but the expression on his face was completely opposite, clearly implying that the two of them would follow his orders.

The boy deliberately amplified his voice, and shouted towards the direction of the pavilion: "Let's go and search separately first, maybe they are nearby."

He stomped his feet, deliberately making the sound of walking and rubbing against the clothes louder, so as to let the two of them relax their vigilance.

The young man pulled Zong Wu and Ji Sheng around a corner, and suddenly there was the sound of iron being struck next to his ears, his heart moved, and he said softly towards the two.

"Master, Xiaoji, you all watch here first, I thought of a way to make them have to "chat" with us. "

As soon as the words fell, the young man weighed the broken silver in his hand, and walked towards the iron shop not far away.

Looking at his friend's back, Ji Sheng wondered, "Why is he going?"

He was talking to himself, but unexpectedly Zunjun gave him an answer.

"I don't know." Zong Wu dropped a few words lightly.

Although he didn't know, but the expression on the face of the little apprentice just now clearly showed that he had thought of a way.

That being the case, believe it.

-

The pavilion at the corner is not big, but it is quite unique. There is a unique rockery behind the pavilion, and behind it is a pool of artificially drawn water.

A cluster of lotus flowers in the pool are in bud, and between the slim flower stems stand two straws that can't be seen unless you look carefully.

The stalks are crumbling, and if you look closely, you can see that there are two large shadows at the section where the stalks are inserted into the water.

The shadow was not cast by the lotus, it was actually two people, they were the two Ji family members that Qi Wushen and Ji Sheng were chasing after with all their might.

Under the water, the two men struggled to open their eyes. One of them raised his head slightly above the water, saw clearly that no one was around, and gestured to the other for safety.

With a sound of "wow", the two stood up from the water.

"What the hell, why is he chasing us?"

"Who knows, if you think about what happened last time, if you tricked us into that kind of place, you almost won't be able to get out. I knew it, you have to stay away from him."

"Isn't it? I heard that Master Yuan also suffered from him before."

The two looked at each other, shook their heads and clicked their tongues, as if complaining about Ji Sheng's carelessness in making friends.

One of them said: "Then what should we do now? Why don't you follow them for the next two days? They're just going to the city to buy groceries, so it's probably not dangerous."

"Not necessarily. I don't think the female ghost in the inn is that simple. You didn't see that even Zunjun was brought down by him that day."

"Then what do you say, or follow? How about we take care of that female ghost secretly, and then run away? Anyway, I think it's better not to appear in front of them recently."

"That's fine, it's safer. Go ask the shopkeeper first, and find out the origin of the female ghost before we talk about it."

"Okay, let's take advantage of it now. It just so happens that they are not here, so it is convenient to ask questions."

The two climbed up the steps and said as they climbed that they had already started planning the details of the interview, and at this moment——

"Would you take me with you?" A clear youthful voice came from above.

The movements of the two people's hands stopped for an instant, and their heads that were looking at each other slowly turned, looking at the young man who was looking down on them from a high position.

"quick--"

Before they could utter a word, they only heard a series of "dangcang" sounds of gold and stone knocking. The two looked down, and saw that two pairs of heavy shackles had been fastened to their hands, and the other end of the shackles was a part of the pavilion railing. Thin column.

The pillar was connected to the entire pavilion, and even if the two of them exerted all their strength, there was absolutely no way they could break free.

"You two, let's chat. I really need you." The expression on the young man's face was extremely sincere, but the smile that was too bright made the two of them thump in their hearts.

They unanimously picked up the gravel on the ground and were about to smash it on their foreheads, intending to stop the conversation with the boy by interrupting their consciousness, but at this moment, Qi Wushen shook the key in his hand.

"It's easy to knock yourself out, but you have to think about the consequences."

He added: "If you do it, I'll throw this key into the lake, and then I'll strip you off and hang you naked by the side of the road."

The young man made a distressed look: "However, I'm not that fierce, am I? Don't be so afraid. After I return to Jiuchongtian, I will start my rotation. We can be regarded as immortals. You are so afraid of me. When the time comes, tell me How bad is it to bully seniors?"

"..."

Ji Sheng laughed out loud, he was still somewhat afraid of the two men sent by his elder brother to arrest him, but now?

Get rid of his fear, he only has sympathy!

"Why don't you just recruit? It's really an emergency, and I can't find anyone else to help at the moment."

He said again: "I've thought about it before, if you have to take me back, I'll go back with you, anyway, if you die sooner or later, you will die sooner or later. I'm not at a loss if I play in the lower world for so long." Ji Sheng said The time was good and angry, and there was no complaint at all.

The boy raised his eyebrows and looked at his friend in surprise.

He originally thought that with Ji Sheng's temperament, he would have to worry about it for a few days, but he didn't expect his friend to figure it out so quickly, and made the worst plan in advance.

Qi Wushen patted his friend on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't worry too much, it's a big deal, when the time comes, you can come and hide in Cangwuxuan for a while."

The young man looked at Zong Wu again and asked, "Is it possible? Master."

Zong Wu nodded and didn't say much.

Ji Sheng shook his head.

"No, I'll go down to cross the catastrophe anyway."

In the Nine Heavens, crossing the catastrophe is the only way for every disciple of the fairy world to take office. Qi Wushen and Ji Sheng first met in Renyuan's school. They were in the same class, but Ji Sheng's grades were not as good as his. There are several immortal arts that need to be recultivated, so it has been a long time since they have not crossed the lower realm.

Qi Wushen patted his friend on the shoulder, and wanted to comfort him, but the Taoist in white shrugged his shoulders, and said: "Let's deal with the matter in front of us first."

The matter of going back to Jiuchongtian will be discussed in the future, and the important thing is to finish the lamp instrument two days later and save the people in Zhenggu City.

For some reason, Qi Wushen felt that his friend seemed to have grown up, he originally wanted to comfort him even if he went back, maybe Ji Yuan would not embarrass him, after all, the two people in front of him seemed to have never made a move to catch them, but just guarded silently beside them, He also secretly sent wound medicine, yellow talismans and cassocks to help secretly.

However, the young man didn't speak any more. Since his friend had already made up his mind to face it, what happened after returning to Nine Heavens wasn't that important.

He turned his gaze back to the two wet men in purple in front of him, shook the key in his hand twice, and tentatively said, "Are you sure you want to smash it? Then I throw it away?"

The two of them seemed to be still immersed in the aftertaste of Ji Sheng's confession just now, and they took a while to recover.

"Master Sheng, if you said that earlier, we would have stopped hiding."

"That's right. When Young Master Yuan gave the order, he said that one day you figure it out and stop messing with him, and the previous matter will be changed."

"You don't know, it's quite difficult for the two of us. On the one hand, we have to see that you are not in trouble, and on the other hand, we must always listen to the news from Master Yuan, and be alert to the people sent by Nan Tianzun to arrest you."

Speaking of this, the two men patted their shoulders and let out a long sigh of relief, clearly mourning the past days.

They were half standing in the water, but after this action, the two of them sat on the shore swaggeringly, and the shrinking expressions on their faces disappeared.

"Okay, now that Young Master Sheng has figured it out, we're not at odds, we're on the same side now."

"That's right, that's right, tell me, what do you need us to do for you? Let's say it first, we also descended to the earth privately, without a document and jade wat, we can't use immortal methods."

"Also, we don't do things that kill us!"

The situation changed suddenly, Qi Wushen had an indescribable expression on his face.

Only listening to one of the two, he reacted, and said: "But you still have to do what your lord ordered."

Before they descended to the realm, Zong Wu had already been imprisoned in the Tianque Ice Realm. Although the final result did not come down, this move was equivalent to half of the immortal post, and the two of them showed no lack of respect for Zong Wu.

The young man seemed to have a feeling in his heart.

Although they need the help of these two people at this time, they are Ji Yuan's people after all, Qi Wushen has some grudges in his heart, but at this moment, the two people's respect for their master makes this grudge gradually disappear.

People who respect Master are not bad people after all.

Such a thought flashed through the boy's mind.

-

Bathed in Xiaoer's amazement, the four returned to the inn, where they sat around the table.

Zong Wu was reticent, and Qi Wushen did it for him, explaining clearly to the two about the peacock demon that night.

Although those two people followed them all the way, they didn't know the experience in the virtual world.

After hearing the whole content of the matter, the expressions on the faces of the two of them were somewhat dignified.

"So, what do you mean, all the Taoist priests in Cumulus Temple are now peacock demons?"

Qi Wushen nodded.

The two people asked again: "So, the current situation is that the group of peacock demons have been preparing since a long time ago, just to expand the reputation of Cumulus Cloud Temple, and strive to gather more people to the temple on the day of the lantern ceremony, and then do it." , extract their souls, and reshape the souls for the demon king? Have another meal?"

Qi Wushen nodded.

As far as he knew, the reason they participated in the tea fighting meeting was to expand the reputation of the Taoist temple. In addition, there were regular porridge distribution in the temple, and red water splashed from the well from time to time, all for this purpose.

These peacock demons adopted the simplest method, first making something up on their own, and then solving it themselves, in order to increase the popularity of the Taoist temple and attract more people to come on the day of the lamp.

The two looked at each other: "In this case..."

Looking at their serious faces, the young man thought that these two people had some profound insights. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully. In the next second, he only heard their unanimous voice.

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and run!"

Qi Wushen: "..."

Ji Sheng: "..."

Zong Wu: "..."

After a while, the young man recovered from their voice of "running away", and asked Ji Sheng very uncertainly, "Are you sure they are your brother's people, and they are not some kind of evil?"

"It should be?" Ji Sheng's tone was also a little uncertain, "Don't you think they are wearing purple clothes? This is the school uniform of our Ji family."

"Is there a possibility..." Qi Wushen said in a very light tone.

"what?"

"On the way to Dust Realm, we hurt our eyes, and now we are all color blind? This is actually not purple, but green."

Zong Wu: "..."

Hearing that the young man doubted his identity, the two Ji family members were not happy.

They coughed twice, tapped their knuckles on the table, and said with a very serious expression: "I think our proposal is very reasonable."

He said again: "Look, our current situation. First of all, the hostages are in the hands of the other party."

Refers to nothing.

"Secondly, there are many people on the other side."

Although there is no peacock king, there are peacock demons of Daoist Temple over there, and there are only five of them here, and they can only use talismans, not immortals.

Not only that, the other party was obviously organized and premeditated, and they didn't know anything about those organizations and premeditated plans. Not only that, their time was limited, just two days.

What the two Ji family members said, it's not that they don't know, but they just got the table and vaguely know, which are obviously two categories.Hearing this, there was a faint muffled atmosphere pervading the room, and at this moment, one of them spoke again.

"the most important is--"

"What is it?" the young man asked humbly.

The man paused, whispered softly, and said again: "What we want in the end is only mortals. Is it really worth our saving?"

Yes, only mortals.

It's just that the peacock demon will take away their souls. If these mortals are left alone, after several centuries of reincarnation, the souls of these people will also dissipate.

It will disappear anyway, the difference is only sooner or later.

As for those peacock demons...

After the large-scale casualties in Zhenggu City, Jiuchongtian will definitely notice this matter. At that time, other gods will definitely go down to deal with it, and they don't need to worry about it now.

This is undoubtedly a "fight" with a small gain and a very low chance of winning. For them, the danger far outweighs the benefit.

It's just the souls of the people in the city, it's just the lives of countless strangers, life, old age, sickness and death are nothing but the normal state of the world, even if they don't do anything, what will happen?

but……

Many faces flashed in front of the boy's eyes. There were his father's entrustment to him before his ascension, and he once sneered at the words of helping the common people to be a good man; , So he used delicious food and drink to worship; there is even the master of Cumulus Temple, who was supposed to be promoted to immortality, but spent all his soul power to protect the people in the city.

The boy took a deep breath.

He thought he had no Dao heart, and he never believed any nonsense about saving the common people, but he still said two words firmly.

"No."

You can think of ways, but people must be saved.

He used to be one of the tiny people, and he knew better than others how it feels when despair is approaching.Therefore, even if it might fail, even if it would take risks, he would still do it.
