Laoshan Mountain is really small, knowing the autumn leaves. Within one day, two Taoist priests moved in one after another in the Xiao family. They were both succumbing to demons, but they were also competitors. The Xiao family's reward of a thousand gold may not be enough for practitioners. It's not enough to look at, but the mysterious ancestral treasure can make many people's hearts flutter.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for dinner. Mrs. Xiao was obviously worried that Zhenwei and Jiang Chen, the two "Taoist masters", would get into conflict. It would be bad if there was another battle between gods and gods, so she simply did not set any plans. Instead of entertaining guests, he ordered his servants to serve sumptuous meals and wine.
In this regard, Taoist Master Zhenwei expressed regret that he could not take the opportunity to show off his "profound magic power" and teach that ignorant boy who came to steal his business a lesson!
But Jiang Chen didn't care. He had been cultivating in the valley of Longtai Mountain for more than 60 years. The food stored in the watch space had long been eaten. Although with his current cultivation level, he had already reached the state of fasting. , whether he eats or not has nothing to do with his survival needs, but he has a greedy problem. He can't get rid of the eating habits he has developed since he was a child, let alone the temptation of all kinds of food and wine.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Chen had nothing to do, so he pushed out the door and asked Lin Wanrong to lead the way to the west courtyard to investigate. Naturally, he had to deal with Lin Wanrong along the way. He found that this young servant was very Unusually, he found that Lin Wanrong seemed to have a faint trace of the power of time and space on his body, and there was something new in his conversation and speech. Although he tried his best to hide it, he could not completely hide it.
"An interesting guy!" This is Jiang Chen's evaluation of him. However, even though he has a sharp eye and has already seen the secrets of the other party, he has no intention of telling them. This is just like he will never reveal his secrets easily. Just like telling others a secret, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you, he still has simple moral integrity.
When he came to the West Courtyard, Jiang Chen's outer consciousness clearly felt that there was almost no human habitation nearby. It seemed that the people of the Xiao family were still very taboo about the West Courtyard. After all, for ordinary people, the existence of monsters and monsters was not a problem. It's really a bit too scary.
It has been a year since there were reports of being haunted. Over the past year, the West Courtyard, which had been idle, has been in a state of neglect. Outside the courtyard gate, there is a forest of tall grass, not to mention Inside, you don’t need to think about it to know that it will only be more deserted, not the most deserted.
Lin Wanrong pointed to the gate of the West Courtyard and said: "Priest Zhiqiu, the West Courtyard is in front of you. Some brave people have gone in to take a look. Generally speaking, it is quite normal during the day, but once at night, those monsters and monsters will come out. Crying and fussing, it’s scary!”
"......" Is it scary to cry and make noise? Hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel speechless for a while. Even the little daughter-in-law would cry and make trouble when she was quarreling and angry. This is even more a child's specialty! Well, if the ones crying and making trouble are monsters and monsters, then it's no different.
"By the way, Chief Zhiqiu, are you coming here now to check out the situation?" Lin Wanrong rubbed his hands and said, "Well... I remembered, I still have things to do, so I'll I won’t go in with you, do you think it’s okay?”
"Easy to say, easy to say." Jiang Chen and others couldn't tell that this guy was scared. However, it is common sense for ordinary people to be afraid of ghosts. Although there are some who are bold and not afraid, they are only a minority after all, so he just smiled. He responded, and then watched the other party disappear from his sight as if he had teleported.
"What a great Qinggong!" Jiang Chen exclaimed with a half-smile, then turned around and pushed open the door to the west courtyard that looked dusty for a long time. A surprising sight immediately caught his eye.
Abandoned, dilapidated, dilapidated... Well, none of these were there. On the contrary, when Jiang Chen looked at it, he saw that the garden was clean and tidy, with rockeries, flowing water, flowers, plants and trees, and the environment looked good. It's very quiet, with no sign of the dilapidation and desolation mentioned in the rumors.
"Well, many rumors are unbelievable, but this sentence is not true." Jiang Chen praised while stepping into the courtyard. He saw that the halls and pavilions in the courtyard were all cleaned spotlessly. There was nothing he didn't understand. This should be the work of the demons and ghosts entrenched here.
"There is no Yin Qi. It seems that it is not a ghost or a monster. The air is filled with evil spirits. It seems that it must be a monster. I just met a little spider before. I didn't expect to meet another one so soon. It's just a group of monsters. It seems that I am destined to be a monster!"
While walking, looking at the well-kept west courtyard, Jiang Chen quickly made his own judgment in his mind. Ghosts were transformed by people after death, while monsters were created by plant elves. There were many differences between the two. Big difference. For real masters of cultivation, the biggest difference between them is that they have different auras!
Demons have evil aura, and ghosts have Yin aura. Capturing the aura of demons and ghosts allows Jiang Chen to easily make a rough judgment. Although he has not figured out the origin of the monsters living here, at least he can. For sure, the other party must be a monster, or a group of monsters.
Going a step further, Jiang Chen can also judge the strength of the monsters living here through the remaining monster energy in the west courtyard. Unfortunately, unlike what he expected, there is no possibility that the monsters entrenched here are some powerful thousand-year-old monsters. Therefore, If you want to get extra gains, it is probably impossible. Now, he can only hope that under the halo of the protagonist above his head, the Xiao family's ancestral treasure can give some strength.
Yes, he has regarded the ancestral treasures of the Xiao family as his own. As for the Taoist Master Zhenwei from the Laoshan Sect, it is not that he deliberately underestimated the other party, but that even without him, the other party would not have been able to surrender and live here. monster, so from beginning to end, he never really regarded the other party as his competitor.
In fact, not only Jiang Chen thought so, but Zhenwei also thought so in his heart. From the beginning to the end, he never regarded Jiang Chen as his opponent.
"Hmph, I really didn't expect that a young boy like you would be quite brave. It's a pity. Conquering demons and demons is not something you can do just by being brave!"
A cold snort came from the rear courtyard door. With that arrogant and conceited voice, Jiang Chen could clearly tell who was coming without even having to guess.
Besides Taoist Master Zhenwei, who claims to be an expert of the Laoshan Sect, who else could be there
Turning around leisurely, Jiang Chen looked around and saw Taoist Master Zhenwei walking proudly into the west courtyard with a fly whisk in one hand and a Bagua compass in the other. He carried a scarlet peach wood sword on his back. His face was filled with the demeanor of a master and his eyes were forty-five years old. Look up at the sky at an angle and start the standard model of showing off.
"Who do I think he is? It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Zhenwei." Jiang Chen didn't care at all about the other party's arrogance. It wasn't because he was generous, but because the other party didn't have the qualifications to care about him at all.
As an old Jianghu, he was really vicious, so he could tell from the first glance that Jiang Chen was not a real Taoist priest. And seeing that he was young and had no traces of cultivation on his body, he naturally returned Jiang Chen. They are like liars who run around in the world and disdain to interact with each other. At this moment, he was even more unhappy when he heard Jiang Chen calling him fellow Taoist. He immediately said sarcastically: "Who is your fellow Taoist? I didn't expose your identity in front of Mrs. Xiao. I was already trying to save face for you. I didn't It’s really shameless to think that a young boy like you doesn’t even have the slightest bit of self-awareness.”
"Huh?" Hearing Zhenwei's words, Jiang Chen couldn't help but frown. Although he had expected it, he still felt a little angry at this guy's arrogance and rudeness. If it hadn't been for sixty years of cultivation in the valley, he would have been a big man. The magnitude has tempered his character, and I'm afraid he can't help but take action. With just one finger, he can crush someone like Zhenwei over and over for a hundred and eighty times.
However, when the gap between two people was too huge, Jiang Chen had no intention of killing the other person if necessary, so he just snorted and walked away.
"I'm kindly reminding you that if you dare to subjugate demons even if you don't have the ability, you may lose your life. You... What's your attitude?!" Zhenwei couldn't help but wonder when he saw this. I was so proud of it, but when I saw Jiang Chen leaving, I still couldn't calm down. I secretly made up my mind that when I subdue the demon tonight, I must make Jiang Chen embarrassed in public...
