In the evening, Mrs. Xiao held a banquet in great spirits and invited Taoist Master Zhenwei and Jiang Chen to take their seats. She had already communicated with these two Taoist masters in advance, so she was not afraid that they would conflict at the banquet, so , the entire banquet went smoothly, and it could be said that the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
After the banquet, it’s time to get down to business. Tonight is the big day for Taoist Master Zhenwei from the Laoshan sect to conquer demons. And Jiang Chen, because he came later, can only serve as a substitute for the time being. Jiang Chen naturally had no objections to this. Anyway, with his eyesight, it was impossible for Zhenwei to subdue the monster, so there was no need for him to stop him.
However, Jiang Chen wanted to sit back and watch, but some people were unwilling. Just when Mrs. Xiao ordered Lin Wanrong, Xiao Feng and other servants to follow Priest Zhenwei to help subdue the demons, who knew that Priest Zhenwei shook his head in denial? Instead, he made another suggestion: "The dangers of this trip are unknown. No matter how many people go there, it's useless. Why don't I just ask Taoist Master Zhiqiu to go with me to slay the demons?"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen was startled for a moment, and then looked at Zhenwei with a half-smile on his face. He knew very well what the other party was up to, and it was just that he was convinced that he was incompetent, so he made this suggestion. In fact, he wanted to You need to use monsters to scare him, so that he will make a fool of himself. If you go in and there are monsters, if you don't go in, you will admit that he is a fake Taoist priest and a big liar.
"Huh?" With a soft groan, Jiang Chen immediately responded with a smile: "Since Taoist friend Zhenwei kindly invites you, so what if I go with you."
His straightforward response immediately surprised Dezhen Weidao, and he couldn't help but murmur in his heart: This guy promised so readily, could he have some basis for it? Could it be that I made a mistake? Is this young boy actually a hidden master? !
Now that he has doubts in his heart, Taoist Master Zhenwei can't help but have a few more thoughts. Although he is arrogant and arrogant, he has not yet reached the level of being arrogant. At this moment, looking at Jiang Chen's eyes, it is obvious that he has developed There was a bit of solemn vigilance.
But at this time, Jiang Chen said calmly: "However, there is one thing we must agree on first. Until Fellow Daoist Zhenwei is completely defeated, I will only watch and will not take action."
The words were spoken bluntly, more like a taunt. Before everything started, he had determined that Priest Zhenwei would not be able to conquer the demons and monsters entrenched in the West Courtyard.
The people present were not fools, and none of them could not hear the different meaning in Jiang Chen’s words, especially Taoist Master Zhenwei, who was the person involved. He was so angry that he immediately responded in a deep voice: "Taoist Priest Youben." Where will it be your turn for a young boy like you to take action? Let's go!" After saying that, he immediately strode forward to the west courtyard.
"Ha!" Jiang Chen saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but chuckle: "Fellow Daoist Zhenwei really has the demeanor of our Taoist ancestors!" Demeanor, what demeanor? Not afraid of death? Overestimating one's abilities? Or... With unfinished words and full of ridicule, he waved his whisk and followed.
Seeing the two Taoist masters' movements so neatly, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but smile. At that moment, she personally took Lin Wanrong, Xiao Feng and dozens of strong servants to the west courtyard. Of course, it was not to help Jiang Chen and Zhenwei. , just a pure onlooker, Lin Wanrong even brought a pack of freshly cooked five-spice fried melon seeds.
Walking side by side, Zhenwei and Jiang Chen stepped into the west courtyard one after another. Guided by the moonlight, they passed through the spacious, clean and quiet courtyard and walked straight into the main hall of the west courtyard.
Night is the time when demons and ghosts come out to be active. The lights in the main hall are bright at the moment, illuminating the entire hall. However, there is not a single person in the hall, and it is so quiet that it is a bit scary.
Although he knew that this was the work of monsters, there was no trace of panic on Taoist Master Zhenwei's face. He went straight to the upper left position in the hall, and then saw Jiang Chen leisurely sitting on the right side. His eyes suddenly became serious, and his words became even deeper: "Who are you?"
"Wandering Taoist priest, you know the leaves of autumn." Jiang Chen smiled and asked in reply: "Didn't fellow Taoist Zhenwei already know this? Why bother to ask more?"
"Humph! Taoist priest?" Zhenwei stared at Jiang Chen with eyes like a torch, and revealed the key point: "If you are a Taoist priest, may I ask which Taoist temple you were renounced in? Do you think you can deceive me? Mrs. Xiao can deceive me!"
"Oh? Really?" Jiang Chen asked with a disbelieving smile: "Are you so sure that I am not a Taoist priest? Or, what good does it do to you if I am not a Taoist priest?"
In fact, Jiang Chen knew very well that in the world of immortality and reincarnation, just like in the world of adventure and reincarnation, reincarnation would not deliberately arrange an identity for him. Under such circumstances, if he did not deliberately act, he would never be able to deceive him. Those who have some magical powers are like the Taoist Zhenwei in front of them.
Perhaps, his magical power is almost insignificant to Jiang Chen, but he is a genuine disciple of the Laoshan sect. With a large sect behind him and sharing information, he can naturally identify himself very quickly. Not a true Taoist priest, at least, not in this world.
"You..." Hearing Jiang Chen's teasing and sarcastic words, Taoist Master Zhenwei suddenly became angry. His face was full of anger, and he couldn't help shouting loudly: "Boy How rude, do you really think I'm afraid of you?!" As he shouted, he suddenly stood up, with a fierce energy rising from his body, but he wanted to take action.
In his opinion, his willingness to lower his body and chat with him and question him had already given Jiang Chen a lot of face, but this man was so full of cynicism that it was really abominable. Although until now, he has not figured out the other party's details, he is not afraid if he asks himself, so he wants to use force to force out the other party's details.
What kind of person is Jiang Chen? He has already seen Zhenwei's plan from the moment Zhenwei opened his mouth. However, he has never taken Zhenwei into consideration. Even if Zhenwei wants to fight with him now, his There was still no change in the expression on his face, but he smiled and kindly reminded:
"I said, fellow Daoist Zhenwei, if you have time, instead of thinking about how to test my foundation, you should think about how to slay demons." Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. You, that monster is already here, you must resist it!"
"What?!" He responded in surprise. Zhenwei suddenly felt a chill on his body. Then he discovered that the night wind had started to blow at some point. In the night wind, more wisps of mist were blown into the hall. After a while, The huge hall was completely shrouded in thick fog. Even though there were lights shining on it, the line of sight was still greatly obstructed. For a moment, everything was hazy, as if you were in a dream, blurry. .
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
In the dreamlike hazy fog, there was a sudden cry, like that of a young woman who had been wronged. The cry was very delicate and sad. Moreover, the sound came from a very strange place. It seemed to be coming from all directions, but it also seemed to be crying right next to my ears.
"Monster!" After coming back to his senses, Taoist Master Zhenwei immediately shouted loudly. Then, he suddenly slapped the table next to him, stood up, and raised his hand, sweeping the whisk in his hand, and rolled up a force. The wind blew and dispersed the mist around him, trying to find the monster's figure.
However, things were obviously not as simple as he thought. The fog was extremely thick. Although he swept away part of it, a large amount of fog soon replenished it. As far as he could see, it was still hazy. It was shrouded in white mist, and nothing could be seen clearly.
"Damn it!" He couldn't help but yelled angrily. Taoist Master Zhenwei put down the whisk in his hand, raised his hands, intertwined his fingers, and folded them into a formidable seal. In an instant, he saw yellow streaks rising up all over his body. The talismans, faintly suspended in the air, were arranged into a miniature magic circle:
"The fires of Qianyang burn demons and demons, and they are as urgent as laws and decrees, edict!"
With an order, the spells were activated instantly. Dozens of spells ignited at the same time, turning into a crimson flame. Following the direction of the Zhenwei magic seal, it immediately spread to the surroundings with blazing high temperature. Thick mist was covered by this flame. The light evaporated completely, and immediately, his gaze was directed towards the figure standing in the half-darkness at the entrance of the hall.
The monster appears...
