Fairy, help me practice

　But Bai Piao stopped him.

　She looked unusually serious. "Jianya Academy isn't as simple as you think. If you don't train hard, you might not even be able to climb the first step of Jianya. That's all I have to say."

　Chen Yao pondered for a moment and felt that since he had a strong man like Bai Piao by his side, he had nothing to fear.

　"Okay, let's walk."

　The prostitute had already put on his hat and swaggered out of the brothel.

　The crowd hired a boat and sailed downstream. After three days, they traveled a hundred and sixty miles and docked at a pier.

　"My dear guests, it would be best to stop by the Yangshi Inn at the pier. If you are lucky, you might as well wait and see if you can hire an old Yin-Yang master to cross the Evil Water Ridge."

　After the boatman said this, he rowed away.

　Chen Yao looked up at the mountain ridge that almost blocked out a large area of ​​sunlight, and suddenly felt gloomy.

　"Are you scared after being threatened by an old mortal?"

　Bai Piao walked nonchalantly across the wooden pier and onto solid ground.

　Lu Dan, however, was a cautious person. "Since he said that, it means there's something fishy going on. We might as well find out."

　Chen Yao meant the same thing.

　Bai Piao sneered: "Do you look down on my ability?"

　Lu Qing's attitude towards Chen Yao had changed somewhat, but because he couldn't stand the freeloader's scoundrel look, he couldn't help but sneer, "What kind of ability does a fool like him have who's afraid of even a snake?"

　Being exposed as a freeloader, he was embarrassed: "I was making a strategic retreat at that time, understand?"

　Lu Qing squinted at her and sneered, "I don't understand. If you're capable, I'll catch a snake for you to kill."

　After getting a free ride, I felt a chill in my heart: "Little sister, how can you kill so easily?"

　"Oh? I didn't realize that Fairy Bai also entered Buddhism."

　Every word Lu Qing said pierced her heart, and Bai Piao was so angry that he couldn't help but pinch her butt.

　Lu Qing saw through her posture and was frightened like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He quickly hid behind Chen Yao.

　"Sir! Look at her!"

　This coquettish remark made Chen Yao and Lu Dan stunned. They didn't expect that Lu Qing, in a hurry, actually showed her trust and dependence on Chen Yao.

　"Alright!" Chen Yao said, "Better safe than sorry, it's better to take a break."

　He glanced at Bai Piao and said, "What if there's some kind of snake demon on the beam?"

　Bai Piao was discouraged after hearing this: "Okay..."

　Everyone entered the inn, asked for rooms, and rested.

　Ling Hong was not very happy because Chen Yao asked for a

　She had initially used fear as an excuse to leave the room, but this time it didn't work.

　She knew that she couldn't have a conflict with her elder brother, so she had to pout and go back to her room obediently.

　After a while, she heard tiptoeing footsteps in the corridor. She opened the paper window of the door and saw Lu Dan sneaking towards Chen Yao's room.

　Ling Hong was a little curious, and Lu Dan reached out to knock on Chen Yao's door.

　"Mom! It's getting late, why don't you go back to your room and sleep?"

　Lu Qing's voice was heard in the corridor, followed by her heavy footsteps, pulling the embarrassed Lu Dan back to the room.

　A gloating smile appeared on Ling Hong's face.

　She returned to her crib and played for a while, then heard Lu Dan's stealthy footsteps again.

　Ling Hong jumped out of bed and found that Lu Dan was about to push Chen Yao's room, so she pretended to be dazed and pushed him away.

　"Aunt Dan, what are you doing at Big Brother's door?"

　Lu Dan awkwardly withdrew his hand that was about to push the door open, and said angrily, "What are you doing out here in the middle of the night, kid, instead of sleeping properly?"

　"I can't sleep, I need big brother to hold me to sleep..." Ling Hong pretended to be innocent, "Oh, I see, Aunt Dan can't sleep either, so she wants big brother to hold her, right?"

　Lu Dan blushed immediately and didn't know how to answer.

　At this moment, there was a sudden burst of noisy crying sounds from downstairs.

Chapter 349 The Blind Taoist and the Little Girl

　Ling Hong took Lu Dan's hand and walked out of the corner, came to the railing on the second floor, looked down curiously, and a gust of wind blew around her.

　Chen Yao and Bai Piao were already leaning on the railing. They looked at each other and saw the strangeness in each other's eyes.

　In the lobby, a group of people surrounded a blind Taoist priest and a pretty little girl. The Taoist priest had a red-painted peach wood sword on his back and a string of paper bells hanging around his waist. Every time he moved, the bells rang like real bells.

　The little girl huddled together and cried, not knowing whether she was afraid of the people surrounding her or the blind Taoist priest.

　"Is there something fishy?"

　Chen Yao asked about freeloading.

　Bai Piao thought for a moment and said, "I'm just curious. Why would one person pretend to be two?"

　Hearing her say this, Lu Dan and Ling Hong were curious: "What do you mean one person pretending to be two?"

　Bai Piao smiled but didn't answer: "Aren't you in need of a guide? They're pretty good."

　Chen Yao looked at her and found that she was not joking, so he smiled and said, "You have the final say."

　Bai Piao glanced at Chen Yao in surprise. He actually sensed a hint of doting in his eyes. His cheeks felt slightly hot, and he snorted, "You play with women in bed, and all you know is to order me around."

　She quickly went down to the second floor and rescued the Taoist.

　"Masters, tell me, I'm disciplining my own apprentice, what does it have to do with them? Why won't you let me? You even want to tie me up and send me to the authorities!"

　The blind Taoist angrily drank the cup of tea that Lu Dan offered him, and continued to complain.

　The little girl seemed to be very shy, so she only showed half of her head from behind her chair to look at everyone.

　Ling Hong was very curious about her. She circled around her and the Taoist priest and smiled at her.

　Chen Yao observed for a long time without making any expression, but he couldn't tell which one of the Taoist priest and the little girl was the fake one.

　But Bai Piao actually said that they were the same person, so she must have her reasons.

　At this moment, he heard the Taoist talking about disciplining his disciples, and he couldn't help but ask, "What did you just do?"

　The Taoist's voice suddenly stopped, and he just smiled awkwardly, as if he had something to hide.

　Bai Piao raised the corner of his mouth, moved to the side of the little girl and took her hand.

　The little girl was so scared that she shrank behind the Taoist priest.

　"We won't hurt you, just sit down!"

　Bai Piao gently pulled her onto the chair, and the little girl tugged at her clothes nervously.

　The moment Bai Zao pulled the little girl to sit on the chair, Chen Yao and Lu Dan both saw that her wrists, which were exposed from her sleeves, were covered with cuts of varying ages.

　Lu Dan was immediately enraged. He pointed at the Taoist's nose and cursed, "Is this what you call discipline? That's clearly abuse!"

　The Taoist flushed and said nothing, stiffening his neck: "Everyone, if you don't like my behavior, we can just break up. Why bother?"

　He stood up, waved to the little girl, and wanted to leave.

　"No!"

　Lu Dan blocked his way and said, "You can't take this child away!"

　The Taoist raised his eyebrows, seeming a little angry. "Oh! Why are you all here for my Tong'er today? Although I am not talented, I am not afraid of being scared! Tong'er, let's go!"

　"I wonder if you can leave!"

　Lu Qing suddenly stepped into the room and drew his "Qiangdu" sword about an inch from its sheath.

　The Taoist couldn't see it, but he was still startled by the cold light that hit him and jumped back. He stamped his feet helplessly and said, "How about this, everyone ask this child whether she is willing to follow me or you."

　Lu Dan glared at him before squatting next to the little girl: "Child, tell your aunt, do you still want to stay with this old Taoist priest who abused you?"

　The little girl looked at her for a moment and nodded.

　Lu Dan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Are you threatened by him? Don't worry, the brothers and sisters in this room are all monks with great supernatural powers. The Taoist priest won't do anything to you!"

　The little girl looked at Bai Piao and Chen Yao, shook her head and said, "No, Master didn't threaten me."

　Now it was Lu Dan's turn to not know what to do.

　Bai Piao came over and patted her shoulder: "Okay

　We were just testing to see if this child was your disciple. It's best to stay away from trouble when traveling the Jianghu! If he is, then there's nothing to worry about. Rest tonight, and we'll go to Eshuiliang tomorrow."

　She stuffed a silver ingot into the little girl's hand.

　The little girl looked at the Taoist priest, and only after he nodded did she put it away.

　"Masters, there's no need to be so intimidating! In the martial arts world, who doesn't have a way to discipline their disciples? Look at those actors, they're really ruthless!"

　After saying that, he took the little girl to find the waiter to book a room.

　Lu Qing angrily retracted his sword, made way, and waited until the two were far away: "That little girl is obviously afraid of being abused!"

　"Qing'er, calm down!" Lu Dan comforted his daughter. "Fairy Bai's method is the safest. This is a busy city, and a conflict would attract unnecessary attention. It's better to wait until we get out of town."

　Lu Qing suddenly realized it and snorted at Bai Piao: "You are a little smart."

　"How about it? Admire your sister!"

　Bai Piao came closer and wanted to touch her butt, but Lu Qing slipped away in a rage.

　After all this commotion, it was already dawn, so Lu Dan and Chen Yao's good plans naturally couldn't go on. They slept for a while and then got ready to set off.

　"According to the elders, this E'shui Liang was once a large mountain. Later, because the mountain god fell in love with a mortal woman from the foot of the mountain, this violated the heavenly law and the emperor stepped on it and turned it into a beam."

　Walking out of the town, the old Taoist priest was led by the little girl holding his clothes and talking to her.

　Lu Qing hurriedly asked, "Where are the mountain god and the girl?"

　"Of course he was crushed to death."

　Lu Qing said angrily, "This Heavenly Lord is so unreasonable. Why should we be trampled to death by him just because we are in love? He is even more evil for taking human life lightly!"

　Bai Piao folded his arms, resting them behind his head, and walked unsteadily. Hearing her say this, he laughed heartily: "The old Taoist priest is talking nonsense, and you are taking it seriously."

　She looked at Eshuiliang, who seemed taller and more gloomy as she approached, and her voice deepened. "This world is filled with only evil spirits, demons, and hypocrites. Where are the gods who can relieve suffering and save people?"

　Lu Qing was silent for a moment, then glared at her: "You're ruining the mood!"

　The old Taoist priest smiled awkwardly and said, "The journey is long, and I'm just telling anecdotes to relieve my boredom. However, the collapsed mountain temple on the beam is real, but you have to be lucky to see it."

　"What do you mean?"

　Lu Qing still couldn't hide his curiosity.

　"Some have seen it, some haven't. The temple's appearance is uncertain, and it's hard to tell whether it's a good or bad fate. Some of those who have seen it have experienced joy, some sorrow, some death, and some life. That's why we have this business. We take money to lead the way, and try to avoid the area around the mountain temple to avoid encountering ghosts."

　"Ghost?" Ling Hong was a little scared and held Chen Yao's hand tightly.

　Chen Yao squinted his eyes and looked at the ridge. He felt a chilling aura in it. The closer he got to the top of the ridge, the more the vegetation and rocks looked like a faded painting.

　Indescribably weird.

Chapter 350: Ghost Wall

　"Something's wrong."

　Bai Piao suddenly said this.

　Everyone's faces turned serious and they all looked at her.

　Her brows furrowed slightly, she looked around, and suddenly asked, "How long have we been out of town?"

　Chen Yao looked at the sky. Tianyang's position seemed to be almost the same as when he came out of the town, but he felt an indescribable sense of incongruity.

　How is this going?

　The blind Taoist patted the little girl's head. The little girl observed her surroundings for a long time before she said, "Our time has been stolen."

　"time?"

　Lu Dan and Lu Qing felt it was extremely strange to see the little girl say such a sentence with a serious face.

　The blind Taoist took off the string of paper bells from his belt, which rang "ring-ring", and handed it to the little girl.
