Heavenly practice

Shen Zhuo glanced at the place where the flames were soaring into the sky, and his heart sank. It was the place that the shepherd boy was pointing at during the day.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the place, most of the village had been burnt down, and there was only a piece of coarse cloth at the entrance of the village with the word "Xi Shui" written on it.

More than a dozen black-bodied ape demons scurried around in the house, clutching people's severed limbs and stumps in their bloody hands, and there were constant screams, mixed with the low growls of wild animals.

"Rescue!"

Fan Yun led people into the village and began to kill the ape demon.

Jiang Huanyan told Mingyou to protect Shen Zhuo, and then she also sacrificed the magic weapon and started to kill the ape demon.

Mingyou was about to pull Shen Zhuo away, but found that the other party had already run into the flames, he panicked and immediately followed.

"Where are you going!"

Shen Zhuo ran directly to the second house in the east of the village, and Mingyou also ran in. The fire was burning all the way, and the thick smoke made him cough. Finally, he found Shen Zhuo in a dilapidated hut that was on fire. He held a seven or eight-year-old child in his arms.

Mingyou recognized that it was the shepherd boy who taught Shen Zhuo to play the flute during the day.

"Cough, cough, cough!" He opened his mouth and coughed violently, his face was flushed red from the fire.

Seeing him running in, Shen Zhuo frowned, put down the shepherd boy, took off his black robe and covered him, and put the shepherd boy in his arms.

"Can you hold it?" he asked.

Mingyou nodded, "Yes!"

"No way, there is still one person in the room." Shen Zhuo smiled and patted his head.

Mingyou nodded to show that he understood, and he did not disappoint his own cultivation during the qi refining period, so he rushed out of the flames holding a child of his own age in a daze.

After he settled the little shepherd boy, he ran back non-stop wearing the black robe that could ward off the fire, but just in time he saw Shen Zhuo helping a man out of the house, and a nine-foot-tall ape demon was walking outside the door. To rush towards him.

"Be careful!" Mingyou shouted in horror.

However, it was too late, just watched Shen Zhuo turn around and face the ferocious ape demon.

But the next moment, the ape demon was fixed in mid-air, and his body was still in the posture of rushing forward.

The flames also stopped dancing suddenly, and the black ash turned from the burnt thatch was blown into the sky by the wind, and it was also floating motionless in the air at this moment.

Everything was still, except Shen Zhuo.

Because the other party looked back at him with his usual calm face.

Mingyou opened his eyes wide in shock, and stayed there for a long time without speaking.

Time only paused for a few breaths before returning to normal, the surrounding flames danced again, crackling burning sounds, and screams.

The ape demon in front of Shen Zhuo's eyes was rushed to kill by the disciples of the Kunyi School, and Jiang Huanyan also rushed over to protect Mingyou behind him.

"Are you okay? Didn't I tell you to hide!"

"..."

Mingyou stood there blankly, staring straight at not far away.

Jiang Huanyan became worried, and lowered her head to check, "What's wrong? Are you injured? Or scared?"

Mingyou didn't speak all the time, Jiang Huanyan followed his gaze and saw Shen Zhuo who was only wearing his underwear, and he was holding a villager in his hand.

"It's okay, don't be afraid."

"..."

A group of 15 people sent by Kunyi did not kill them all until dawn. Nine of them were injured, one lost an arm, and even Fan Yun was left with a bloodstain on the back by the ape demon. They only rescued 18 people.

Some of the rescued villagers cried and thanked Dade, and some wailed loudly in front of the fire.

After dawn, everyone sat on the ground, healed their injuries, and took care of the injured villagers. Some people had already gone to the town to report to the officials.

Mingyou was very silent when he put the medicine on Fan Yun's back. Fan Yun thought he was afraid, so he smiled, "It's okay, don't be afraid, brother is fine."

"...Mmm." Mingyou replied in a low voice.

"By the way, give this to Brother Shen."

Fan Yun handed over a token, "He saved you this time, go and give him this token."

However, Mingyou lowered his head and didn't speak. His appearance made Fan Yun frowned, "Mingyou, a dignified man, don't be petty."

"You go and give it to him..." Mingyou lowered his eyes and muttered.

Fan Yun turned serious, "Mingyou!"

"Maybe he doesn't need it at all!" Mingyou raised his head and blurted out after being reprimanded.

Fan Yun stared at him without saying a word, Mingyou snatched the amulet angrily, ran to Shen Zhuo not far away, and threw the amulet into his arms.

Shen Zhuo was helping Jiang Huanyan to heal the villagers, and he was taken aback by the sudden suddenness. Then he saw Mingyou running away and suddenly understood, it seemed that he was still frightened by himself.

"squeak?"

The little fox held a lock of burning hair in his mouth, and looked at the back of the boy running away for no reason.

"Mr. Shen, don't be surprised. Mingyou may have been frightened." Jiang Huanyan smiled apologetically.

"It's okay."

Shen Zhuo smiled and said it was okay, reached out to lift the little fox to the ground, and poked its soft buttocks.

"squeak!"

The little fox clutched his butt and expressed his anger, she is the mother!

"...Sorry." Shen Zhuo really didn't see it.

The little fox raised his neck and folded his arms, very twitchy.

Jiang Huanyan on the side couldn't help laughing, "You fox is quite intelligent, don't you really plan to let it cultivate immortality?"

Shen Zhuo didn't refuse this time, but poked the little fox's head, "Ask you, are you willing to cultivate immortality?"

"squeak!"

The little fox hugged his finger and bit it into his mouth.

"Well, I can't mention it anymore, I'm already angry." Shen Zhuo smiled helplessly at Jiang Huanyan.

Jiang Huanyan sneered, "The little guy still bites, do you have all your teeth stamps?"

"Squeak!"

The little fox said that I live longer than you!

"Oh?" Shen Zhuo understood what it meant, and was a little surprised, this was the first time he knew it.

Jiang Huanyan was curious, "What is it talking about?"

"Just acting like a baby." Shen Zhuo replied casually.

Jiang Huanyan smiled slightly when she heard the words, and her eyes fell on the young man beside her, "Where is Mr. Shen from?"

"Nanjing, as I said before, is a small place in the Great Xia Dynasty."

"Yes, I forgot for a moment."

Jiang Huanyan smiled embarrassingly, wrapped up the wounds of the villagers, and brushed her hair, "I have never asked before, why did Mr. Shen go to Qinyang Mountain? That's where Zhentianmen is located, and you have seen it. It's dangerous to go all the way, if it's not necessary, I advise you to go home early."

A woman, even a woman cultivating immortality, looking down at a woman of the opposite sex and brushing her hair means that she is shy towards the other party.

Shen Zhuo smiled, "Miss Xie Jiang advised me, but I have to go."

"Looking for someone?"

"Yes."

"...Who are you looking for?"

"Big nephew."

"..."

Jiang Huanyan looked astonished, and then smiled knowingly, "Young Master Shen really knows how to joke."

"I'm serious, nephew from afar, I promised his parents to take care of him, and I will not break my promise."

Shen Zhuo looked at the ruins in front of him, "If Qinyang Mountain is really dangerous, he should be too, and I have to go."

Jiang Huanyan also sighed, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Shen, we are here for this ape demon this time, and Zhongzhou may be in disaster."

After Shen Zhuo looked at the ruins in front of him in silence for a while, he suddenly said, "Catastrophes are always inevitable in the world."

Jiang Huanyan looked at him in astonishment.
