Immortal couple

Perhaps it was because of the oil bottle with Wu Tuan, who didn't know how to control the sword, that the team traveling all the way south traveled for seven days at high speed.

It was almost dusk when we arrived at the southern boundary. A mossy stone arch bridge was built on the small river in front of the boundary marker. On the opposite side was a small bamboo forest. The dark green was not the emerald green of normal bamboo, and it was covered with a layer of fog, which only added to the strange feeling.

"Sunset on the western mountain, morning mist is born." Zhao Youming looked deeply at the scene in front of him, tentatively shot a beam of light with his fingertips, splitting the layer of fog, but the fog continued to cut and recombine like water.

But he heard a startled sound from the bamboo forest: "Ah!"

"Who is it?" Zhao Youming drew out his sword and tried to hit him, but the Seventh Master hurriedly stopped him, walked up the arch bridge calmly, took out a post from his sleeve, and saluted the trembling figure in the bamboo forest: "I am Cultivator Xianyue, who received the invitation from the Southern Territory to suppress demons, came here to suppress demons and eliminate evil spirits, but you are the one sent by the Demon Purifier Division?"

Hearing this, the figure breathed a sigh of relief, and came out to greet him happily. It was an old man dressed in a servant's clothes. The material of the clothes was better cotton and linen, embroidered with the logo of the official's house, but not the pattern of the Jingyaosi .

"Greetings to all the celestials!" The old man ushered in a five-body worship: "Just now a flash of light hit the old slave's head, and I thought it was a monster. I was frightened. Gentlemen, redemption."

Seeing that he was an ordinary mortal, Zhao Youming withdrew his spiritual power and retreated to the silent Mei Aoshuang, staring impatiently at Wu Chuzhu's strange smile, Qiu Wuya looked contemptuously from his eyes. Looking at him, as if mocking him as the third-ranked disciple who can't even distinguish the aura of mortals, Zhao Youming blushed suddenly, feeling ashamed, annoyed, and a little horrified, the monster aura of the southern border can be seen everywhere, It is not hidden, but there are still a large number of people in it, which shows that this place is already mixed with human beings and demons.

The Seventh Master sized up the old man in front of him, and raised his hand suspiciously: "Get up, who are you?"

The old man got up and bowed again, saying: "This old slave is a servant of Hehe County in Nanjing. My master heard that the immortals of Xianyue came to suppress demons at the request of Jingyaosi, and specially invited Jingyaosi I have been waiting here half a month ago to greet you, so I am looking forward to your coming."

Hehe County is located in the southwest of the southern border, and it is indeed the nearest county to the boundary marker of this confluence. However, the government and the Jingyaosi have always been independent of each other. The reception is all done by the county government, and most government officials are unwilling to take on such a job that is useless to political achievements, unless the county government master is also sincere in the matter of cultivating immortals and worshiping Taoism, or there is something that must be demanded by them.

After thinking for a while, Seventh Master smiled gently, took back the post he had just taken out, and asked softly to the old man: "But is there anything in the government that you need help with?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and looked at the man in front of him who had a gentlemanly temperament but respected him even more, and said: "The Immortal Lord is really wise, the master's family has been plagued by demons for many years, the whole family has no peace, and all methods are invalid. Xianyue, the leader, accepted the post and wanted to come to the southern border, and it happened that our Hehe County is the closest to this boundary monument, so he invited this errand, and I would like to invite everyone to visit my master's house as soon as possible."

"This..." Seventh Master hesitated. Their original plan was to go straight to the county town in the south. In the clouds to find traces of the fox demon.

As the head disciple, Mei Aoshuang was silent all the way. At this time, other disciples were waiting for him to say something representatively, but he seemed to be in a trance and ignored everything.

Wu Shizhu, who had been wandering all the time, suddenly popped up and asked, "How long will it take to get to your master's house? Have you eaten, drank, and slept?"

The old man nodded hurriedly: "Yes...all of them, there are carriages prepared on the post road, and we will be there in a short rest."

Wu Zhuzhu smiled and pointed two fingers up: "I want a double room, there must be breakfast in the morning, and the bath water must be sprinkled with flower petals..."

"Okay..." The old servant nodded and bowed as he walked toward Wu Shigu to the post road outside the bamboo forest.

The Seventh Master frowned helplessly and looked at Mei Aoshuang. The next moment, Wu Zhuzhu was frozen into ice sticks, and the old servant trembled in fright.

The situation was a bit embarrassing, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and then looked at this ice stick Wu Shizhu, Mei Aoshuang was cold and angrily unwilling to say a word, while Qiu Wuya said it had nothing to do with him.

The two were silent, so Zhao Youming had no choice but to bite the bullet and say softly: "Seventh Master, Yunzhong is not far from Hehe County, and we will go to Yunzhong in addition to the demons in Hehe County. Besides, Xianyue is here. It’s okay to come to the southern border to suppress demons, so you can take a look if you are infested with demons.”

Everyone is a top-notch elite, except for Mei Aoshuang and Qiu Wuya, who are ranked first and second, and Qiu Wuya, who are unshakable, the other rankings change every year. You can propose it in front of the master, and he is naturally qualified to be ranked fourth.

He took a step forward and bowed in front of the Seventh Master: "Seventh Master, this disciple thinks that we should distinguish between the primary and secondary. There are many demons in the southern border, and they should be distinguished according to their size. The most urgent thing is to solve the important fox demons. The demons in Hehe County Sufferers can postpone the suppression."

"Junior Brother Ye Huan..." Zhao Youming called the other party's name with a heavy tone, secretly emphasizing the gap between the two, Xianyue judges seniority based on the ranking of strength, even if the other party is older than himself, the lower ranking can only be a junior.

Ye Huan frowned, and immediately showed displeasure, and continued to listen to Zhao Youming pointing at the old man and said: "The people of Hehe County have been waiting here for half a month, and the eagerness to eliminate the demon can be imagined. Under the leadership of the master, why is it easy to get rid of the little demons in a place? It’s getting late now, and the nearest place to stay is also the county town, and the matter can be resolved by just staying overnight, why should we turn a blind eye?”

Hearing this, the old servant hurriedly thanked and bowed.

Ye Huan was unwilling to agree: "We only need an hour's journey to get to the cloud, and if the fox monster makes trouble, the damage in one night is not only several times that of Hehe County?"

Zhao Youming: "According to my junior brother, the Xiaodao is not the Dao? Is there no need for the little demon?"

Ye Huan: "It's not that I don't care, we need to distinguish between the primary and the secondary!"

"Okay, stop arguing." Interrupting the two, Seventh Master raised his eyes to look at Mei Aoshuang, saw that his face was as cold as ice and locked on Wu Tutu, a little absent-minded, that's all, he sighed softly, turned around and asked Old servant: "May I ask what kind of monster is in the house?"

"It's a century-old tree demon!"

The monsters of the plant type are not high-level and have no great lethality for a hundred years. It should be said that the tree demon is the mildest of all monsters, and everyone is not afraid of it.

But the Seventh Master was obviously more interested, and continued to ask the old servant: "Do you know which mountain forest you cultivated from?"

"That demon is from Mulin Peak."

"Mu Linfeng?" The Seventh Master called out in alarm, his pupils glistened, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face, and then he suppressed the excitement on his own, returning to his usual gentleness and stability.

"Yes." The old servant replied carefully: "That monster never hurt anyone's life, but it has fascinated my master for decades, and my wife has been crying all day long! Everyone knows about it! , A county lord's house is haunted by monsters all the year round, and it's not a good thing for the court or the common people."

"I see." The Seventh Master responded, turned around and told the disciples: "Ye Huan, you, Ziqing and Zuifeng go to Yunzhong first, and the rest follow me to Hehe County."

"Thank you Xianjun!" The old servant hurriedly thanked him, leading the way enthusiastically.

Zhao Youming smiled, looked at Ye Huan with victorious eyes, and left with Master Seven.

The three of Ye Huan froze in place, and they all walked away before they came to their senses, bowed their hands and accepted the order, with a dull expression, and a little dizzy, but it stands to reason that they should be the ones staying, a dryad needs a teacher Is Zun going with the top three disciples?Although he was puzzled, it was not easy to pursue, so he could only take the remaining two people to Yunzhong.

The carriage stopped at the west end of the city. The street here is close to the city wall, and it is a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle.

When I got off the car, the sky was getting dark, and the courtyard door in front of me was lit up with lanterns early. Looking up, there was a cloud of night fog above the house, hazy covering the sky, like a layer of illusory cover buckled on the courtyard wall , revealing a monster.

Anyone with a certain level of cultivation can see the demonic aura of this house. Wu tried to stare at the sky above the courtyard and smiled strangely. Because he had just been frozen, he climbed out of the carriage and shouted tremblingly: "What a big rain cloud, this courtyard It's going to rain here, shall we go in and live?"

The old servant trembled in surprise and almost slipped. When he turned his head and saw the unmoving faces of the other immortals, he felt that his knowledge was shallow. Maybe all the masters talked like this.

Wu Shizhu wanted to say something more, but no sound came out of his mouth, so Mei Aoshuang pressed his Ya acupuncture point in time.

The old servant went to report happily, and the vermilion gate quickly opened, and two rows of servants ran out neatly inside, standing on both sides. Just looking at the number and clothes of this servant, they were a bit richer than ordinary county officials, and the decoration of the gate was much more exquisite, and even more Like everyone's portal at the foot of the capital.

Another row of maids came with the lamps on, holding a passionate female figure, their footsteps were small and fast, and the accessories on their bodies made a jingling sound, and the money was greeted from them. , Huangfu, the civilian woman, has seen you all."

This is an unexpected message!

Huangfu is the surname of the country, and Huangfu Jingyan is the youngest daughter of the emperor. She was born with angina. It is an indeterminate genetic disease. Sometimes it is inherited from generation to generation, and sometimes it occurs once in several generations. Therefore, those who inherit this disease in the royal family are like a death sentence. , no matter the prince or princess is not taken seriously, so this princess married a small county magistrate, after all, she was born in the royal family, so this house is much more gorgeous than ordinary specifications.

Zhao Youming was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, so he knew more about the affairs of the royal family. He bowed slightly to the luxurious woman, showing a bit of respect. The seventh master knew something about the affairs inside and outside the sect, but he didn't know much about it. Startled, he nodded slightly to show courtesy, and there was no special expression on his elegant face.

Since she was a child who cultivated deeply in the mountains and forests, she didn't feel much about mortal affairs, Mei Aoshuang returned the salute with the Seventh Master blankly, and continued to control Wu Shizhu's mouth.Qiu Wuya didn't care about these customary etiquette at all, and at some point he was already standing on the tiles of the courtyard wall, half of his smiling face was illuminated by the lights in the courtyard, and he was staring playfully at a certain place in the courtyard, if it wasn't for the Seventh Division Zun suppressed the scene, I'm afraid he would have rushed in and tore the monsters inside to pieces.

There seemed to be some changes in that layer of illusory clouds, not flustered and bewildered, nor berserk as if facing an enemy, but a slight change of calmness, like a pair of intelligent eyes looking at this side calmly.
