The Red Peng chariot landed in a valley and fell to the ground. The chirping of night insects became clearer.
The sounds of "Eh—eh—" came one after another, making people feel overwhelmed.
Zhu Changyang felt that he couldn't endure this suffering in vain, so he simply took Jun Shu with him to catch a lot of night insects and drain their blood, preparing to sell them to the material store.
This action made everyone in the Jijin Sect feel complicated. As a weapon refiner, Zhu Changyang always displayed an exceptionally hardworking and simple spirit, which made people admire him.
Xing Yuehun took two disciples to choose a location and set up a talisman formation.
The formation worked, cinnabar lit up, and all kinds of misty air emerged from the valley, mixed with a large amount of hair-like demonic energy.
"How could this happen?" Xing Yuehun was surprised.
These evil spirits were very similar to those left by Xia Jue, but they were extremely dense, spreading in all directions like seaweed in the deep sea.
As far as the eye can see, there are only horrible hair-like things.
This scene reminded Zhu Changyang of the battle with Su Ti in the ancient city of Sixiang, and he got goose bumps all over his body.
"So much demonic energy," a disciple of the Jijin Sect shuddered, "These shouldn't be left by the founder, right?"
Although this place is on the border of the Eastern Demon Realm, it is still a mortal realm after all. This situation is obviously unusual.
"It's not clear yet." Xing Yuehun shook his head slowly, ashamed, "This place is very strange. With my strength alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find the fairy lady's whereabouts..."
Si Kou Luo looked at the demonic energy that spread all over the field and said thoughtfully, "If that's the case, let's split up and search for it."
Originally, he didn't expect to rely entirely on Mishan Sect. It was a blessing that Mishan Sect could help them find this place. The rest still depended on the strength of Jijin Sect.
Everyone in the Ji Jin Sect had no objection.
Si Kou Luo ordered the disciples of Jijin Sect to go in pairs and go in different directions to gather information. At last, he looked at Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu and reminded them, "You two, this place is dangerous and it is not suitable to stay here for long. Why don't you..."
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with the two of them, but now things have developed unexpectedly. If they really want to enter the Eastern Demon Realm, it will be full of dangers.
Therefore, Si Kou Luo felt it necessary to persuade them to return first.
Jun Shu didn't listen to him at all. He just glanced in the direction of Kudu River and said, "Chang Yang and I will go there."
What this means is that not only will he not leave, he doesn't even plan to team up with the Ji Jin Sect.
Zhu Changyang:
Wasn't this a slightly hasty decision
He thought he should discuss it with Jun Shu again. When he turned around, he saw Jun Shu's eyes were blank, as if he was thinking about something.
Zhu Changyang had never seen such an expression on Jun Shu's face. He was slightly stunned, but finally said nothing and tacitly agreed to this decision.
Seeing this, Si Kou Luo vaguely realized that Jun Shu's visit did not seem to be entirely for Xia Jue, but for other purposes.
Thinking of this, he said no more, only said: "Please be careful, both of you, and if there is any trouble, be sure to let me know in time."
After we set the itinerary, it was already dawn.
The crowd did not delay any longer, leaving the Red Peng Chariot in the mountains and set off immediately.
.
Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu flew out of the valley on their swords, and after walking forward for dozens of miles, they saw a market town.
Zhu Changyang couldn't help but be surprised: "There are so many people here?"
This market town is located right on the bank of the Kudu River, and is only separated from the Eastern Demon Realm by a river. It should be a place that mortals should stay away from.
But not only is there people living here, it is also very lively. You can see houses and shops from afar, and the sound of people walking and driving cars.
Jun Shu looked at the bustling scene, was slightly stunned, and said in a daze: "I don't know."
Zhu Changyang found his words a little puzzling and was about to ask again when Jun Shu changed his finger gestures, flew down with his sword, and landed outside the town.
There happened to be a teahouse on the side of the road for resting, so the two of them walked in, ordered two bowls of tea, and asked the owner about the situation there.
The boss dealt with merchants passing through this place all year round and was very talkative. When someone asked him a question, he immediately started explaining in a torrent of words.
It turned out that the Eastern Demon Realm was full of miasma, there was very little spiritual soil and veins, and the resources in the area were very poor.
Some daring merchants transported supplies from other continents to resell here. Although the risks were greater than other places, the profits were considerable.
In the beginning, this place was indeed very dangerous. In addition to the demon cultivators, there were also some evil people who had committed crimes in other continents and fled here, and murders and robberies occurred from time to time.
But money is a powerful attraction, and even so, there is still a steady stream of merchants coming here.
To ensure safety, many people would hire monks to accompany them.
Over time, some monks simply settled here and started working as brokers and bodyguards.
Seeing the profitability, some demon cultivators also started doing business here.
The evil cultivators and the righteous ones in other continents are like water and fire, but on the banks of the Kudu River, as long as one has good stuff and the money is paid, no one will care what kind of sect the other person practices.
Gradually, a market town was formed here, and it became one of the rare places in the Nine Realms where the righteous, the devil and mortals could live together.
After hearing this, Zhu Changyang suddenly realized.
In the final analysis, people are always profit-seeking. No matter what conflicts there are between the two parties, as long as there is a common basis of interests, a balance point can always be found.
Zhu Changyang smiled and said, "So, the people in your town must be very extraordinary."
This place is full of all kinds of people, and is bound to be full of dangers. People without some strength would not dare to settle here.
"Oh, that's not the case." The boss shook his head and said, "We have lived here for a long time. We still have the rules and regulations. It's very safe. You can rest assured in this town."
Zhu Changyang said "Oh" and asked curiously: "What are the rules?"
The boss threw the rag over his shoulder and said, "It's a custom that we have here. No one is allowed to rob or plunder within a 20-mile radius of the town. If you want to kill or rob, you have to go beyond 20 miles. No one will care."
After a pause, he added very proudly, "Even magic cultivators can't do that."
Zhu Changyang: “…”
That doesn't sound that safe.
Just as he was speechless, Yuan Miansha suddenly came over from outside with sweat all over his forehead, and the two sides bumped into each other face to face.
Yuan Miansha was stunned for a moment: "Hey, you two have found this place too?"
Zhu Changyang asked him to sit down with him and asked, "Why are you alone?"
"Oh, don't mention it." Yuan Miansha wiped his sweat, "My two brothers from the Jijin Sect and I followed the evil spirit to find this place. Everything was fine, but who knew that we would suddenly encounter a group of robbers fighting 20 miles away from here. We had a fight and almost died of exhaustion."
Zhu Changyang: “Puff—”
The robbers in this place are really lying in ambush twenty miles away.
He quickly asked, "So you guys were separated because of this? Are the two brothers okay?"
"Oh, no, they are just a few thieves in the Qi Refining Stage. They are no match for us." Yuan Miansha waved his hand, "We just split up to look for clues."
Why do you talk so much nonsense
Yuan Miansha ordered a bowl of tea and sighed as he drank it. "The aura here is too mixed. My talisman technique cannot track where the evil spirit has gone. So my two brothers and I decided to ask people separately to see if we can get some useful information and then reunite later."
Then he asked, "Did you also follow the evil spirit to get here? Did you find anything?"
"No." Zhu Changyang coughed lightly, "We just saw that there were a lot of people here, so we just came to take a look."
Yuan Miansha said "Oh" and continued to sigh: "This land is too evil, there are evil spirits everywhere, and it is impossible to tell which ones are left by the fairy. Oh, if only Junior Master was here, with his ability, he would definitely be able to find the fairy's trace."
The "junior uncle" he referred to was naturally the "junior brother" that Xing Yuehun had mentioned before.
Seeing how highly these people from Mishan Sect praised this person, Zhu Changyang was curious and couldn't help wondering, "What on earth is your junior uncle busy with? Can't he spare some time to come over?"
Yuan Miansha showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, "I'm afraid I can't..."
At this moment, a dusty young man walked in from the roadside and shouted to the boss: "Shopkeeper, give me a bowl of tea. Hahaha, those bastards actually wanted to rob me. Now we know who is robbing whom..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he met Yuan Miansha.
Yuan Miansha's eyes widened and he jumped up: "Junior Master!"
Zhu Changyang:
No way, is it such a coincidence
He immediately looked over with curiosity, but what happened next was somewhat different from what he had expected.
"Damn, how did you find this place!" The young man cursed and turned away, "What bad luck!"
Yuan Miansha quickly sent out a talisman to block the young man, and shouted: "Little Master, everyone is looking for you everywhere, don't hide anymore, go back quickly-"
"Who the hell is hiding? I've always been aboveboard, okay?" The young man retorted unconvincedly, "You guys are just too stupid to find me..."
Before he could finish, the yellow talisman exploded in front of him, and the talisman fire rose into the air, almost burning his chin.
The young man immediately became furious, "Well, you haven't shown any promise for a while, and now you dare to fight me, I'll beat you up!"
As he spoke, he grabbed into the air with both hands, and several yellow talismans instantly appeared on his hands.
Yuan Miansha was shocked when he saw this: "Uncle Junior Master, please show some mercy. I am your junior nephew who copied your homework-"
"That's right." The young man was touched by what he heard and immediately put away one of the talismans. "Then I will stop you from losing your hair."
Yuan Miansha wailed and quickly took out a stack of yellow talismans from his bag and threw them all at the young man without thinking twice.
"Your technique is still so poor." The young man made a disdainful sound, without even trying to dodge. He quickly tapped his fingertips a few times, and several yellow talismans appeared out of thin air in front of him.
Those yellow talismans connected in a line to form a talisman formation, which easily blocked Yuan Miansha's yellow talisman.
At the same time, the yellow talismans in the young man's hand disappeared, and the next second, those yellow talismans appeared in front of Yuan Miansha.
Yuan Miansha screamed "Ah!" and stepped back subconsciously, but there was a table behind him, and he bumped into it when he stepped back, and his body fell backwards onto Zhu Changyang.
Jun Shu was quick-witted and quick-handed. He pulled Zhu Changyang aside, and at the same time, the rusty sword flew out of the mustard seed bag and stabbed the young man.
"Who are you and why are you meddling in other people's business?" The young man jumped up and pointed his hand. A yellow talisman appeared in front of the rusty sword.
The tip of the sword pierced the yellow talisman, and the cinnabar on the talisman floated up and exploded into a puff of fine mist. The surging power formed an invisible shield that blocked the rusty sword.
Zhu Changyang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Although he didn't understand the art of talismans, he could tell from the casual series of moves that this young man was indeed extraordinary.
The young man had the same idea. He looked at Jun Shu's rusty sword and praised, "Your swordsmanship is not bad—"
Jun Shu bent his fingertips and was about to move forward, but suddenly his head started buzzing and a noisy sound exploded, like countless needles piercing him. He had to stop moving, and the sword tip and the talisman shield were temporarily in a stalemate.
Yuan Miansha was delighted to see that Jun Shu's sword could actually hold its own against the young man's magic. He didn't care that his head and face were covered with magic talismans, and said hastily, "Uncle Junior Master, we are all doing this for your own good. Your love affair will harm you..."
"So what?" The young man said, "Pah!" "I know Yanyan is a witch, and I am happy to be deceived by her. Anyway, I am not deceiving you, why do you care so much!"
Yuan Miansha spat out a mouthful of blood. Seeing that the other party was unmoved, he could only look at Zhu Changyang helplessly: "Brother Zhu, can you help me persuade Junior Master Uncle?"
Zhu Changyang was sweating profusely, thinking to himself, I don’t even know what’s going on with you guys!
Before he could say anything, the young man jumped up and said, "Great, so you are his helpers."
He grabbed with his hand, and two more yellow talismans appeared on his fingertips.
Zhu Changyang's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself that this was not good. This young man was producing talismans much faster than Yuan Miansha, and he subconsciously wanted to hide to the side.
Jun Shu barely suppressed the severe pain in his head. He did not dodge or evade. His finger gestures changed, and a cold light flashed on the rusty sword, breaking the young man's talisman shield in an instant.
Before the young man could make any hand gestures, the rusty sword stabbed forward first.
"Oh, you're so powerful. I won't fight with you!" The young man stopped quickly and did not cast a talisman. He directly attached a swift talisman to himself and ran away in a flash.
Only a cloud of dust and a shout were left behind, "You are so annoying, don't look for me anymore—"
Zhu Changyang's mouth twitched slightly, and he turned his head to look at Yuan Miansha: "Your junior uncle..."
Yuan Miansha peeled off the yellow talisman on his face. His eyes and mouth were all swollen, as if a hornet's nest had been poked.
At this point, he could no longer hide it, and said, "You all heard it. My junior master is not busy with something. He was deceived by a witch and left the sect for her."
Yuan Miansha's junior uncle is named Tan Tai Buqi. As a disciple accepted by the founder of Mishan Sect in his later years, he is very favored in the sect. Even the sect leader gives him some leniency. He originally had a bright future.
Unexpectedly, a few months ago, when Tan Tai Buqi was out for training, he met a woman named Yanyan and quickly fell in love with her. Not only did he develop a relationship with her, he also brought her back to the sect and said he wanted to marry her.
At first, everyone in Mishan Sect thought that Yanyan was too charming and ostentatious, and did not seem like a good match, but since Tan Tai Buqi liked her, no one knew what to say.
It was not until Tan Tai Buqi brought Yan Yan to see the master that the master saw through her true colors. It turned out that Yan Yan was not an ordinary woman at all, but a witch with a high level of cultivation.
Everyone in Mishan Sect was shocked and wanted to arrest Yanyan, but Tan Tai Buqi refused to do so and instead helped Yanyan stop her master, allowing Yanyan to escape from Mishan Sect.
The head of the sect was furious, so he ordered Tan Tai Buqi to be confined to his room to reflect on his mistakes.
Unexpectedly, that night, Tan Tai Buqi left a letter and ran away, saying that he would not marry anyone but Yan Yan. Since Mishan Sect would not allow Yan Yan to stay, he would go find Yan Yan himself.
The head of the sect was so angry that he sent people to look for him. However, Tan Tai Buqi was very powerful and ignored all the information sent to him by the jade edict, so it was difficult for ordinary disciples to find his whereabouts.
The Mishan Sect was too embarrassed to publicize this matter, so when the Jijin Sect asked about it, Xing Yuehun hesitated and claimed that Tan Tai Buqi was busy with something.
I never expected to run into Tan Tai Buqi here.
Zhu Changyang suddenly realized and sighed, "Your junior uncle is quite... rebellious."
Studio:
[Tsk tsk tsk, it turns out he is a love-brained person!]
[Although, he is quite strong, and beat his junior nephew into a bear-like state! ]
