Tianhe City.
Compared to Wenxian City, Tianhe City is not really famous, and the people here are more in awe of immortals. It is rumored that thousands of years ago, cranes came here to welcome the immortals who ascended to heaven, hence the name.
Although the top sects like Jiutian Sect did not take Wangshu Pavilion seriously, the people of Tianhe City were extremely respectful to the Wangshu Pavilion people who came down from the sky with the gourd. The guards even personally led them to the best inn in the city before bowing and leaving.
The waiter came forward and bowed: "Hello, all the immortals. Do you want to book a small courtyard or a few rooms?"
Jiu Hui turned her head to look at Zhiyou, and the other three also turned their heads to look at him.
"Courtyard." Zhiyou placed a handful of spirit stones on the table.
"Master, this is unacceptable!" The waiter was shocked and quickly explained, "We are just an ordinary inn. We don't have a spiritual power field for people to practice. You just need to pay the money."
"Silver money?" Zhiyou's handsome face showed a little confusion.
"This is it." Jiu Hui held a piece of silver and shook it in front of Zhiyou, then put it on the table: "Is it enough?"
"That's enough. Please follow me, immortals." The waiter put the silver in his arms, returned the spiritual stone to Zhiyou, and led them to the small courtyard at the back with his back bent: "Although there is no spiritual power field in the small courtyard, it is well kept. If the immortals need anything, you can directly tell me."
He was very perceptive and when he saw that the immortals didn't need anything, he tactfully left.
There were five rooms in the yard, and Jiu Hui chose a room near a big tree to live in. It rained for about two hours, and it stopped when we had dinner.
Luoyan was worried that Jiuhui would be scared alone, so she talked to her for a while before leaving. The yard gradually became quiet.
The moon slowly emerged from the clouds, and its bright silver light filled the entire yard. Jiu Hui opened the window, and the moonlight shone on her face. She looked up at the moon.
In the past, at such times, she would sit at the edge of the village and listen to the elders telling stories about the outside world. The elders talked about the good and evil in people's hearts, and the hatred and love after love entanglements. They talked with laughter, and she listened with laughter.
The moonlight is so bright tonight, they should be chatting outside too.
Suddenly, there were a few sounds of dogs barking and children crying outside the quiet alley, but you would not be able to hear them if you didn't listen carefully.
The dog barked twice and then there was no more sound. Jiu Hui sighed, stepped on the window frame and jumped out of the inn.
With the moonlight by her side, the night road was not too dark. Jiu Hui flew across two streets and four alleys, and outside a dilapidated thatched house, she saw two armored guards, a dog, and a child crying with tears and snot all over his face.
"Please let it go, sir. It's really just an ordinary dog." The child held the dog tightly and refused to let go. The two guards looked a little impatient, but they didn't attack the child. "We are the guards of the City Lord's Mansion. Someone reported that your dog is as smart as a human. We are here to capture you. Child, get out of the way quickly and don't make things difficult for us."
"I watched the mother dog give birth to Da Huang. It's only two years old now, how could it be a demon?" Facing the two adults in the City Lord's Mansion, the child cried and trembled with fear, holding the dog's hand but unwilling to let go: "I heard that demons are all bad guys who have practiced for hundreds of years. Da Huang is only two years old, really only two years old."
"Awooo." Dahuang tucked his tail between his legs and hid in his little master's arms. He seemed to be frightened.
The two guards looked at the frightened man and dog and put their swords back into their sheaths. How could there be such cowardly monsters in the world
As for dogs, if they are well taken care of by their owners, it is normal for them to be a little smart.
The two were about to leave when the patrol team also spotted them. The patrol leader rode his horse to the two and looked down at the child and the dog hugging each other on the ground: "What happened?"
The guard didn't dare to offend the captain and told him what had happened.
"Don't you know how much the city lord hates monsters?" He looked at the child and the dog lightly: "Since someone reported it, it means that there is something strange about this dog. It should be killed on the spot. If anyone dares to stop it, he will be convicted of colluding with the monster."
"No, don't kill Da Huang!"
"What are you still standing there for?" The captain looked at the two guards in dissatisfaction. "There are immortals staying in our Tianhe City this afternoon. Do you want to attract these immortals and make them suspect that we are not doing a good job in exorcising demons?"
"Yes." The two guards did not dare to disobey the order. One of them pulled the child away, and the other drew a knife.
"Rhubarb, rhubarb!"
"Ouch, ouch."
"If you keep crying, I'll kill the child as well."
"rhubarb!"
The child was still struggling towards Dahuang, but Dahuang stopped howling. Tears flowed from his black eyes, and finally he fell to the ground with all fours and buried his head in his clothes.
"What are you doing?"
When the big knife was about to fall on Dahuang, a woman's voice was heard in the air.
Everyone was startled and looked up to see a girl in a fairy dress standing on the roof, looking at them curiously.
"Captain, this is one of the immortals." Someone in the patrol team reminded in a low voice.
"I recognize you." Jiu Hui tiptoed down from the roof: "Thank you for leading the way for us today."
"Your Excellency, your words are very important. It is my honor."
The patrol members hurriedly got off their horses. Even the arrogant patrol captain was very respectful in front of Jiu Hui, the cultivator who had just become his disciple, for fear of showing any disrespect.
"You don't have to be so polite. I just happened to pass by and heard a child crying here. I thought he had met a bad person, so I came over to check it out." Jiu Hui walked up to the dog, bent down and touched its furry head.
The dog had a leather collar around its neck, and a small wooden tag hung on the collar. "Da Huang." Jiu Hui looked at the name on the dog tag and said, "The handwriting is so ugly, kid, did you write it?"
The child nodded with sobs.
The patrol leader was relieved to see Jiu Hui's friendly attitude. A few days ago, another patrol team in the city accidentally offended an immortal, and the immortal waved his hand and made the patrol team members fall and lose half their lives.
"Why are you taking your dog out wandering around so late at night instead of sleeping?" Jiu Hui took out a thumb-sized brass plate from her storage ring, engraved the words "Da Huang" on it, put it on the little yellow dog, and waved to the child: "Come and take a look. Is my handwriting better than yours?"
The guard who was holding the child quickly let go and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With the dog tag given by the immortal, no one in the city would bother the dog anymore.
The child looked at the words on the dog tag, hugged the dog, wiped his tears and nodded. Da Huang struggled to get into the arms of his little master, and he didn't dare to resist when Jiu Hui touched his fur, looking very pitiful.
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion: ...
It looks so cowardly and stupid. Calling it a monster would be an insult to monsters.
"It seems this is a misunderstanding." The patrol captain bowed to Jiu Hui, and then bowed to the child holding the dog: "I was careless, please forgive me, young master."
A small town like theirs without the protection of a sect could not have the same scenery as the Immortal City. Not to mention bowing to a child, as long as the Immortal was willing to let them go, he could bow to a dog.
The child hugged the dog and dared not speak. Jiu Hui did not comment on this man's arrogant and respectful behavior. She turned her head slightly, her face changed, and she made a gesture with both hands: "Retreat!"
Before everyone could react, they saw a layer of green light floating in front of them. Three bats crashed into the light and fell to the ground, turning into three short and ugly men.
"Monster!"
“There’s a demon!”
The guards were so frightened that their faces changed. The patrol leader drew his sword with shaking hands and said, "Be quiet! Do you want to lure all the people out and let them die with you in the monster's belly?"
Jiu Hui glanced at the patrol captain in confusion. This man's arrogant and respectful appearance just now made people look down on him, but when a monster really came, he was so scared that he still drew his sword and fought the monster to the death, and he didn't want to implicate the people around him.
Strange, really strange.
Is this the complexity of human nature
"How could there be immortal cultivators here?" The leading bat demon looked at the barrier that blocked them, "Second brother, didn't you say that there is no sect protecting this city?"
"Brother, I specifically asked around a day ago, and there really are no immortal cultivators in this small town."
"Then where did she come from?" The big bat pointed at Jiu Hui.
"Then, how should I know?" The second bat felt a little guilty.
"No matter what, seeing as her cultivation level isn't that high, it's definitely no problem for the three of us to fight one." The big bat bent his five fingers into a twisted shape and stretched out his hand to break the barrier: "The heart of a cultivator is more delicious than that of an ordinary person."
"Take this child who writes ugly characters and hide away." Jiu Hui took out a jade hairpin from her storage ring and threw it into the air: "The pen is as good as the heart!"
The child picked up by the patrol captain: "..."
At this point, can this beautiful sister please stop mentioning the fact that his handwriting is ugly
Children also need to save face.
"Ah!" The big bat's two claws were pierced by the jade hairpin. It didn't even have time to scream before its two claws turned to ashes.
"Brother!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the second and third bats turned around and ran: "Brother, don't worry, we will definitely avenge you next time."
"Chichichichi!" The big bat didn't even have the strength to resist. It was forced back to its original form by the jade hairpin and fixed on the ground. After flapping its wings a few times, it became silent.
"Why are you running?" Jiu Hui looked at the two bat monsters running away in a panic and took off her shawl: "Go!"
Why waste your energy running when you can't get away
He kills people like crazy and eats their hearts. The evil aura on his body is darker than the bottom of a pot. Who would be willing to miss the opportunity to kill such a low-level evil monster to accumulate merit for himself
The two bat monsters flew very far away desperately, thinking they could save their lives, when a red silk flew out from behind them. The red silk emitted golden light under the moonlight, and it seemed to have life and consciousness. The silk tail bound the two bat monsters, turned into a stream of light, and dragged them back to Jiu Hui.
"I was born with a kind heart. The three of you have a deep brotherly love. How could I bear to separate you three monsters?" Jiu Hui squatted in front of the two monsters and said with a smile: "Before leaving, the elders repeatedly reminded us to do good deeds and accumulate virtues. Am I not being nice to you?"
The two demons looked at the smile on Jiu Hui's face and suspected that she was not joking with them. She really thought that she was doing a good deed by letting the three brothers die together.
They have cultivated their demon bodies for hundreds of years, and even though they have killed countless people, they have never seen a living devil who confuses right and wrong like this.
"Remember to say thank you to me."
Second demon: “…”
I thank your grandfather for his leg.
"You kill people without restraint and still don't know the rules of etiquette. You are a disgrace to the demon world." Jiu Hui stood up and said, "You really disappoint me."
Three breaths later, two immobile little bats appeared on the ground.
The red silk once again turned into a shawl, hanging on Jiu Hui's arms. She turned her head and looked at everyone, and they all took a step back.
On the roof, Master Mo Chang and his two disciples were facing Jiu Hui and Ba Yan.
