Crash---

Raindrops fell, hitting the oil-paper umbrella in Shen Yao's hand and splashing water.

It's too late to say.

The middle-aged man made hand gestures with one hand and swung his sword with the other, flying straight towards Shen Yao.

Shen Yao did not dodge or evade, but just slightly stepped aside to the right when the middle-aged man's sword was in front of her.

The oil-paper umbrella was gently raised, and the raindrops that were thrown out created a picture scroll. Shen Yao waved her sleeve lightly, and with her backhand, a thin chain was thrown out from her sleeve.

boom!

The long sword collided with the chain, and the sound made them both bounce back. At the same time, Shen Yao tiptoed on the ground and threw out several bright yellow talisman papers that looked like flying dragons.

"Thunder Talisman!"

The middle-aged man had to retract his sword to resist and turned around and jumped in the opposite direction.

Bang bang bang!

The lightning-inducing talismans thrown by Shen Yao caused thunder to fall from the sky one after another, making the originally bumpy water surface even more unrecognizable.

Shen Yao never talks nonsense when she takes action. Besides, this middle-aged man is quite capable. A few lightning-inducing talismans that are suitable for the occasion cannot take his life.

"Fellow Daoist, please stop. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding between us?"

The difficulty of the matter was far beyond the middle-aged man's expectations. He wanted to retreat and did not care about the difference between humans and demons. He just wanted to get through the trouble first.

"Misunderstanding? Not really."

Shen Yao clasped her hands together and her body floated in the air. The oil-paper umbrella that was thrown out fell back into her hands.

"It's true that noble people forget things easily. When we first met, you were shouting at me to kill me, but now that you can't beat me, you're saying there's a misunderstanding." How could there be so many misunderstandings?

Middle-aged man: ...

As soon as the middle-aged man heard the words, he knew that the grudge was difficult to resolve. In this case, everyone could only rely on their own abilities.

His eyes suddenly became sharp, and the middle-aged man stepped forward with a long sword in hand. After fighting with Shen Yao, he threw out the talisman paper hidden in his sleeve.

This talisman paper is different from the lightning-inducing talisman thrown by Shen Yao. It is a talisman paper specially used to deal with fairies. It can restrict the use of demonic energy in the fairies' bodies, and make the fairies lose their ability to fight against the enemy by surprise, forcing them to surrender.

As the talisman paper was thrown out, the middle-aged man felt very distressed. This was one of his most precious things. He originally wanted to keep it to deal with the osmanthus tree, but in the end, huh!

"Monster, surrender quickly!"

The middle-aged man shouted softly, and the long sword in his hand flashed. The light split into two, two became four, and finally turned into a sky full of sword light rushing towards Shen Yao.

Shen Yao had taken back the chains from before, and the talisman paper dropped by the middle-aged man floated around her, forming a large thin film net that would emit light when it moved slightly.

"Humph!"

There are really a lot of despicable means, using the blood of the goblins to draw talismans against the goblins. No wonder the middle-aged man can live such a comfortable life.

boom!

The sword light poured down and hit Shen Yao all at once. Such a huge explosion turned the entire Osmanthus Alley into a mess.

The middle-aged man fell to the ground and couldn't help but cough twice while holding his chest. "Hey! With such great power, even if you are the incarnation of a great demon, you can't get the slightest advantage."

But in the end he still lost money, and he only hoped to get something from the osmanthus tree to make up for it, otherwise he would be too embarrassed to see anyone after this trip.

The middle-aged man was thinking about how to make his money back quickly, but when he saw Shen Yao who was trapped in place by the talisman and had experienced the baptism of sword light but was unharmed, his eyes widened. Was he dazzled?

After blinking hard to confirm that he was not mistaken, the middle-aged man felt something was wrong and tried to escape immediately, but was tied up by the chains thrown by Shen Yao and fell to the ground.

"Why are you running? You were the one making the moves before, now it's my turn."

Shen Yao casually tore up all the talisman papers floating in the air.

Those talismans that were originally invincible and made even the most terrified demons shudder had little effect on Shen Yao. If she hadn't wanted to test this man's skills, Shen Yao would have captured him long ago.

"Sir, please..."

When the middle-aged man saw the woman getting closer and closer to him, a huge sense of panic swept over his body. He was scared!

In the past, it was always the captured goblins who begged for mercy, but this time the roles were reversed, and the middle-aged man wished he had never been to Guihua Lane.

"Noisy!"

Shen Yao's fingertips flashed and quickly penetrated into the middle-aged man's body.

The middle-aged man with distinct emotions became stupid, but the fear in his eyes had become concrete. His eyes were wide and round, and he wished to tear Shen Yao into pieces.

Shen Yao:......

'It was just to let him recall the fate of the goblins who died at his hands in the early years, but he couldn't even bear this,' Tsk!

As expected, people are all hypocritical. When you started to slaughter the goblins, did you ever think that you would end up like this? It's just that good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished.

The middle-aged man burped for a long time, with veins on his neck exposed, and finally he died unwillingly.

Shen Yao raised her foot and kicked, "It's really tormenting." She hadn't used any tricks yet, she was just giving him a taste of his own medicine.

"Host, where shall we go next?" "The scourge has been eliminated."

"Well, wait a minute."

Shen Yao waved her hand and restored the buildings damaged by the battle to their original state, except for the osmanthus tree in the alley. "I'll give you a Soul-Yunning Pill."

rustling --

The osmanthus tree was badly damaged, with only the main branch still intact. It stretched out its branches to take the porcelain bottle thrown by Shen Yao, and said thank you haltingly.

They were fighting just now, and the osmanthus tree was so scared that it didn't even dare to show its face.

"The Soul-Enriching Pill can keep you sane and clear-minded, making your daily practice more effective. But now that the demon pill has been taken away, are you sure you want to stay in Osmanthus Alley?"

Shen Yao slowly took out a whole bottle of corpse-dissolving water from the space and poured it on the middle-aged man. In just a moment, the man's clothes and weapons disappeared completely, and no trace could be found.

"Stay, stay. This place feels like home."

The osmanthus tree hadn't been a spirit for long, and its speech was like that of a baby learning to speak. Shen Yao scratched her cheek and said, "Wanniang won't come back. I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover the demon pill you lost."

"No, I'm not afraid. Just consider it as a repayment...for a favor."

Shen Yao shrugged her shoulders upon hearing this, indicating that she fully respected the fate of the monster. Since the osmanthus tree wanted to think so, then so be it.

The drizzle has stopped, and I put away my oil-paper umbrella and hold it in my hand.

Shen Yao left Osmanthus Alley, and within a moment, her figure disappeared.

"Tsk, this tea is a little cold."

Touching the teacup that was no longer hot, Shen Yao casually lay on the couch and poured herself another cup of tea.

"Host, Wan Niang and Dong Cheng are gone. They have decided to leave Qingping City and live elsewhere."

The system's voice sounded a little depressed, and it obviously didn't understand why Wan Niang did this.

Shen Yao shook her head, "It would be terrifying if you, an artificial intelligence, could understand matters of the heart."

Wan Niang has the demon pill on her, so nothing will happen to her and Dong Cheng easily.

Of course, if Wan Niang is unlucky and meets a bad guy like the middle-aged man, her fate will not be good either.

The demon pill is too attractive to some people or demons, not to mention that Wan Niang is an ordinary person and she has no ability to protect the demon pill hanging around her neck.

'The demon pill was a transaction between the osmanthus tree and Wan Niang, who was married to Dong Cheng.

Since the osmanthus tree is unwilling to pursue the matter, the fate of Wan Niang and Dong Cheng depends entirely on their own luck.

This is also the reason why the osmanthus trees in Guihua Lane took a short time to become spirits. It turned out that the originally condensed demon pill stayed in Wan Niang's body for more than ten years. The osmanthus tree was able to become a spirit for the second time thanks to the mercy of heaven and earth. Otherwise, it would have had to spend dozens or even hundreds of years in a daze before it had a chance to become a spirit.

The story of Wan Niang and Dong Cheng is not complicated. Instead, the relationship between Wan Niang and the osmanthus tree can be traced back to Wan Niang's elders. The fate they planted casually in the past has saved their descendants from danger.

you get what you sow.

.........

In September, Qingping City is filled with the joy of harvest.

Shen Yao was wearing a light green dress and holding the pastries she had just bought.

This is a new specialty pastry launched by the city's pastry shop. All the raw materials are derived from seasonal fruits and vegetables. The soft, smooth and sweet taste is very much in line with Shen Yao's taste.

Time flies, and Shen Yao has lived in Qingping City for almost two months.

She had toured almost the entire Qingping City, and Shen Yao planned to rush to the next capital city, Fuyun City, which was more prosperous and interesting than Qingping City before winter came.

"Miss, you've asked the right person. If you want to go to Floating Cloud City, you need to find a reliable escort agency.

You have to know that the distance from Qingping City to Fuyun City is hundreds of kilometers, and most of the area is wilderness and there is no human habitation.

Rumor has it that there are monsters blocking the road and harming people, which is terrible."

Shen Yao handed over a piece of silver with a smile, "I came here to ask for advice because it was dangerous.

I hope you can help me analyze which escort agency in Qingping City is better."

Looking at the silver coins handed to him, the old man raised his hand and stroked his beard, "No problem, since the young lady trusts Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu will definitely not deceive the young lady in this regard."

When doing business, honesty is the key. Otherwise, no one will come to do business with him next time.

Old Zhu is a well-known gossip in Qingping City. He knows everything about anything. Shen Yao came here this time because she had heard of his name for a long time and wanted to see it for herself.

Sure enough, everything went smoothly. Old Zhu not only turned several escort agencies in Qingping City upside down, but also made clear all the grievances and entanglements there.

"Girl, spending money is a small matter. Don't save your life for the sake of saving."

Over the years, Old Zhu has seen many young men and women going out for various reasons. The girl in front of him has a broad brow and looks graceful and elegant. He wonders whose daughter she is.

Shaking his head lightly, Lao Zhu circled a few places that people should never go to.

"Oh? Why is this? Are there really monsters in this world?" Shen Yao leaned forward with an excited look on her face.

"Hehe, girl, don't go asking whether she's a demon or not," Old Zhu changed the subject and drove Shen Yao away.

Shen Yao:......

Pay in one hand and deliver in one hand.

After Shen Yao paid the remaining money, she carried the cakes and walked three blocks before she found the Qingwei Escort Agency that Lao Zhu mentioned.

It is neither too big nor too small, neither too many nor too few in number, and its reputation is mixed.

When recommending it, Lao Zhu pointed out that the escort agency charged high fees, but the chief escort of the agency came from an extraordinary family and was treated by the immortals of Qingping Mountain when he was young.

Shen Yao didn't want to travel alone, so she spent a lot of money to buy herself a place on the escort agency to Fuyun City, and she only had to wait for half a month to set off.

During the half month of free time, Shen Yao still went out for a walk every day.

Occasionally, he would go to Osmanthus Alley to see the Osmanthus tree spirit who was practicing hard, but the house where Wan Niang and Dong Cheng originally lived had been moved into by a newlywed couple.

"Sir, please keep your token. We will be leaving in half a quarter of an hour."

The escorts of Qingwei Escort Agency carried long swords on their backs. They looked mighty and strong, and were not easy to mess with.

Shen Yao sat in the carriage provided by the Qingwei Escort Agency and put a wooden sign handed to her into her sleeve.

As a distinguished guest who paid a high price, Shen Yao enjoyed VVVIP services at the Qingwei Escort Agency. Even three meals a day were provided by the Qingwei Escort Agency. All she needed to do was sit in the car and travel, and occasionally get off the car to walk around.

"As expected, as long as one is rich, they can live well no matter which dynasty they live in."

Shen Yao felt pretty good now. The carriage beneath her was thickly cushioned and had ventilation windows on both sides. A female escort was driving in front so that she could communicate anything immediately.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the carriage of Qingwei Escort Agency set off.

The long line stretched as far as the eye could see. These were the tasks of the Qingwei Escort Agency on this trip. Most of them arrived halfway, and a small number arrived at Fuyun City.

Shen Yao was one of the guests who were about to arrive in Fuyun City. There were also several merchants from the city traveling with her. They were running there just to check the accounts.

When winter comes and heavy snow blocks the roads, Qingping City’s external connections will be completely cut off, and it will be spring before people can go out again.

This is also the reason why merchants have to check their accounts even if the back and forth expenses take a month, their wealth is worth a fortune!

"Stop the car and rest here for half an hour."

The carriage stopped, Shen Yao jumped out, and looked into the distance.

Green mountains and green waters, surrounded by floating clouds, birds singing and insects accompanying.

Shen Yao put her hands behind her back, half-closed her eyes and felt the breath of the wind.

"Miss Shen"

Shen Yao turned around and met the female escort who called her, "Escort Zheng"

"The food is ready. Miss Shen, please have a few bites. We still have to continue our journey in the afternoon." Commander Zheng Biao was tall, with arms full of tendon meat.

Even though there was some distance between them, the oppressive feeling coming towards them was still heart-wrenching.

Shen Yao smiled and nodded, then returned to the carriage and ate the food that was delivered to her.

After resting for a while, the escort company set off. Shen Yao leaned against the carriage and looked outside through the window.

After a day of hard travel, they successfully arrived at a small town where they could stay.

Shen Yao asked for some clean water to wash up before lying down on the bed and falling into a deep sleep.

The people from Qingwei Escort Agency spent the next few days on the road.

Until most of the goods they were escorting were gone, they gradually moved away from the populated area and officially entered the mountains where monsters were said to exist.

"There are monsters, but they don't like to cause trouble. Our Qingwei Escort Agency never stops when we escort goods across the country, so we rarely have conflicts with them."

Zheng Li, also known as Escort Zheng, spent hours together during the day, and their relationship gradually grew close.

When there was no danger, Zheng Li would also talk to Shen Yao about things in the escort agency, such as the rumors about monsters. As an escort who often went out to escort goods, how could she not have seen them?
