[Ask for subscription, monthly pass support!]
Laoshan is really micro, knowing the autumn leaves, within one day, the Xiao family has two Taoist priests in succession, both for the demon subjugation, but also a competitor, the Xiao family's daughter's reward, for the cultivator may not be enough to see in the eyes, but the mysterious ancestral treasure, but can make many people moved.
In the blink of an eye, Mrs. Xiao was obviously worried that Zhenwei and Jiang Chen, the two "Daomen masters", would have a conflict when they got together, and it would not be good if there was another immortal fighting method or something, so she simply did not set up a banquet to entertain guests, but ordered her subordinates to serve sumptuous meals, wine and food.
In this regard, the chief of Zhenwei said that he regretted that he couldn't take the opportunity to show his "profound mana" and teach the hairy boy who came to rob his business without knowing the height of the sky!
But Jiang Chen didn't care, he had been cultivating in the valley of Longtai Mountain for more than sixty years, and the food stored in the watch space had already been eaten, although with his current cultivation, he had already reached the realm of Bigu, whether to eat or not had nothing to do with his survival needs, but he had a gluttonous and greedy problem, and he couldn't resist the eating habits he had developed since he was a child, and he couldn't resist the temptation of all kinds of food and wine.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Chen had nothing to do, so he pushed the door out, let Lin Wanrong lead the way, and went to the West Courtyard to investigate, along the way, he naturally inevitably had a deal with Lin Wanrong, he found that this young man was very unusual, he found that Lin Wanrong's body seemed to have a faint trace of the power of time and space, and there was something new in his 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, but even if he has seen the secrets of the other party like a torch, he has no intention of telling it, just like he never easily tells his secrets to others, don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself, and he still has simple moral integrity.
Before coming to the West Courtyard, Jiang Chen's divine sense clearly felt that there were almost no people 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 demons and monsters was really too scary.
It's been a year since the haunted thing happened, and this year, the West Courtyard, which had been idle, was in a state of no one to take care of, and outside the courtyard gate, it was like a forest, not to mention the inside, you don't have to think about it, I'm afraid that it is only more deserted, not the most deserted.
Lin Wanrong pointed to the gate of the West Courtyard and said: "Zhiqiu Dao Chang, the front is the West Courtyard, there are brave people who go in to see it, generally speaking, it is quite normal during the day, but once it is night, those demons and monsters will run out, crying and making trouble, but it is scary!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but be speechless for a while, even when the little daughter-in-law quarreled and got angry, she would cry and make trouble, this is even more of a child's specialty! Okay, if it is the demons and monsters who cry and make trouble, then it will be different.
"By the way, Daoist Zhiqiu, do you want to go in to see the situation when you come over now?" Lin Wanrong rubbed his hands and said: "Then I remembered, I still have something to do, so I won't go in with you, do you think it's okay?"
"Well said, well said. Jiang Chen is such a person, where can he not see it, this guy is just scared, however, it is common sense for ordinary people to be afraid of ghosts, although there are also those who are bold and not afraid, after all, they are only a few, so he also responded with a smile, and then watched the other party disappear from his sight in an instant as if he had teleported.
"What a light skill!" Jiang Chen sighed with a smile, before he turned around and pushed open the door of the West Courtyard, which looked like it had been dusty for a long time, and was surprised by the scene, which then came into his eyes.
Deserted, dilapidated, dilapidated, well, none of these, on the contrary, Jiang Chen's eyes were on, but seeing that the garden was clean and tidy, rockeries and flowing water, flowers and trees, everything was available, and the environment looked very quiet, how could there be any rumored signs of dilapidation and desolation.
"Well, the rumors are not credible, and this sentence is not false. Jiang Chen praised as he stepped into the courtyard, but seeing that the halls and pavilions in the courtyard were all cleaned spotlessly, he didn't understand that this should be the handiwork of those demons and monsters entrenched here.
"There is no yin qi, it seems that it should not be a ghost, a monster? The air is full of demonic energy, it seems that it should be a monster, I just met a little spider before, I didn't expect to meet another one or a group of monsters so soon, it seems, I am destined for the demon!"
Between the walks, looking at the well-organized West Courtyard, Jiang Chen quickly made his own judgment in his heart, the ghosts are transformed by people after death, and the monsters are cultivated by the grass and tree spirits, there is a big difference between the two, for the real cultivation masters, the biggest difference between them is that they have different breaths on their bodies!
Demons have demonic energy, ghosts have yin energy, and capturing the breath of demons and monsters can make Jiang Chen easily make a general judgment, although he has not yet figured out what the monsters that live here are, but at least it is already certain that the other party must be monsters, or, a group of monsters.
Taking it a step further, Jiang Chen could also judge the strength of the monsters that inhabited here through the residual demonic energy in the West Courtyard, but unfortunately, unlike what he expected, the one entrenched here could not be a powerful thousand-year-old demon at all, so if he wanted to have additional gains, it was estimated that it was impossible. Now, he can only hope that under the illumination of the halo of the protagonist above his head, the ancestral treasure of the Xiao family can give some strength.
Yes, he already regarded the ancestral treasure of the Xiao family as his own, as for the Zhenwei Dao Master from the Laoshan faction, it was not that he deliberately underestimated the other party, but even without him, it was impossible for the other party to subdue the monsters that lived here, so from beginning to end, he did not really see the other party as his competitor.
In fact, it wasn't just Jiang Chen who thought so, Zhenwei also thought so in his heart, from beginning to end, he didn't regard Jiang Chen as his opponent.
"Hmph, I really didn't expect that you hairy boy would be quite bold, but it's a pity, subduing demons and subduing demons is not something that can be done just by being bold!"
A cold snort came from the rear courtyard door, that arrogant and conceited voice, Jiang Chen could clearly know without guessing, who was coming?
Except for the self-proclaimed master of the Laoshan faction, who else could there be?
Turning around leisurely, Jiang Chen looked over, and saw the head of Zhenwei Dao carrying the dust in one hand, the gossip compass in the other, and the vermilion mahogany sword on his back proudly stepped into the West Courtyard.
"Who should I be? Jiang Chen didn't care about the other party's arrogance at all, not because he was measured, but because the other party didn't have the qualifications to let him care at all.
As an old Jianghu, he was really vicious, so he could see from the first glance that Jiang Chen was definitely not a real Taoist priest, and seeing that the other party was young and had no traces of cultivation on his body, he naturally classified Jiang Chen as a liar who ran the rivers and lakes, and disdained to intersect. At this moment, when he heard Jiang Chen call himself a Taoist friend, he was even more unhappy, and immediately sneered: "Who is a Taoist friend with you, I didn't expose your identity in front of Mrs. Xiao, I already saved face for you, but I didn't expect that you, a hairy boy, didn't even have the slightest self-knowledge, it's really shameless." ”
"Huh?" Hearing the real words, Jiang Chen couldn't help frowning, although he had expected it, but he still felt a little angry at this guy's arrogance and rudeness, if it weren't for the sixty years of valley cultivation, which had greatly honed his mind, I am afraid he would have already been unable to help but make a move, just such a thing, he only needed one finger, and it was enough to crush it over and over again for a hundred and eighty rounds.
It's just that when the gap between the two people is too huge, if it is unnecessary, Jiang Chen has no intention of killing the other party, so he snorted coldly and walked away.
"I'm kind enough to remind you, if you can't bear it, you dare to do the thing of subduing demons and subduing demons, be careful of losing your life, what kind of attitude do you have?!" Seeing this, Zhenwei couldn't help but be angry, but when he saw Jiang Chen leaving, he was still at peace in his heart, and secretly made up his mind that when he subdued demons and subdued demons tonight, he must let Jiang Chen make a fool of himself in public (to be continued. )
