Zhang Jiao stood there quietly with a bamboo sword in her hand and observed, although she had experienced a lot of supernatural events with Zhang Jiao, but this was the first time she had seen such a situation. Everything seemed to stand still, and all I could hear was the sound of the wind and the water. However, Zhang Yao had already decided to strike first, and when would he wait, so he quickly rushed towards the darkness, and when he was very close to the darkness, he flew directly and stabbed, and saw that there was a cloud of black gas in the center of the darkness, which was the goal.

The black qi in the darkness did not make any movement, and Zhang Jiao stabbed his sword on it and was directly knocked away by the countershock, but the person was fine, how to say that this was also a tentative attack. And the black gas still didn't move, as if nothing had happened, and this result couldn't help but make Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao more alert.

Holding the bamboo sword, it was once cast by Yu Ji when he was looking for immortal grass for medicine in the Tianshan Mountains, and he killed the snake demon for five hundred years. At that time, the snake demon cultivation was close to the spirit, and it was a pest on the Tianshan Mountain, and he had eaten a lot of medicine pickers who went up the mountain. As a result, Yu Ji fought with him for three days and three nights, almost killing Shekou, and finally killed the snake demon with his original immortal method. Yu Ji took off one of the most essential fangs of the snake demon, forged it with the snake demon's inner pill and snake blood, and the bamboo sword was born. He also cut off the snake bone and cast it into a scabbard, and the bamboo sword became Yu Ji's sword, although it was made of bone, it could still sharpen iron like clay, and it contained a rich aura, which was the dream sword of all cultivators. Later, after Zhang Jiao worshipped Yu Ji as his teacher, Yu Ji liked Zhang Jiao very much when he was still a child, so he gave her the bamboo sword. The bamboo sword is a five-hundred-year-old snake demon, in addition to the abundant aura, it also retains the talent of the snake demon, it can be said that all the demons and monsters except for the spiritual level, as long as they are touched by the bamboo sword, they will show their original form. And with Zhang Yao's sword just now, the black qi not only did not dodge, but also did not change in the slightest after being stabbed, which showed that this opponent was the most powerful they had never seen so far.

"I use yin and yang to create my body, and I incarnate into a talisman. Encountering an unknown and more powerful opponent, not only did not make Zhang Jiao afraid, but made her a little excited, and used the Dao Talisman to conjure up a stand-in that was exactly the same as herself, and asked her to go forward to check. The stand-in does not have aura, but Zhang Yao can fully feel everything that the stand-in senses, and directs it to slowly walk into the black light, is that black gas really a dead thing, and there is still no movement. This made Zhang Jiao bolder suddenly, and continued to command the stand-in to get closer to the black qi, and if he wanted to see it carefully, he really found it. A pair of eyes opened, a pair of eyes that could glow white. "Bang!" The stand-in disappeared suddenly, without any warning, the black light range directly doubled, and the faint death qi became tyrannical.

A ball of dead air emanated from the black light, and it struck Zhang Yao quickly, and when Zhang Yao came back to his senses, it was too late to dodge. "Smack!" Zhang Xiao arrived in time, blocked the dead air with the Age Trace Sword, and shouted loudly: "Cousin!"

Zhang Yao immediately urged the aura in the body, so that the aura formed two more stand-ins, the stand-in formed with spiritual power and the stand-in of the change of the Dao Fu are not comparable, the aura is the qi formed by heaven and earth, if used properly, her stand-in strength will even exceed her own, and the formation of a stand-in with aura is only done by Zhang Yao, this is Yu Ji's personal biography, bewitching the world, making the world think that she has three real bodies.

The black qi moved too fast, and in an instant, it came to Zhang Xiao, knocked him away with a punch, and moved quickly towards Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Jiao also directly faced it head-on, no matter how powerful the enemy was, this move was never defeated. The three Zhang Yao and the black qi collided together, but the result was that the aura on Zhang Yao's body was quickly withdrawn, although he was already mentally prepared, it was still difficult to accept it for a while. That black qi is like a bottomless pit, absorbing the aura on Zhang Yao's body, seeing that if it goes on like this, something will definitely happen.

"I use red fire to guard **, and leave the fire talisman. After all, Zhang Xiao has also practiced Taoism with Zhang Jiao for a few years, but his skills are still shallow, and he slapped his palm on the black qi, wanting to separate it from Zhang Jiao. But the black gas was still unscathed, and with a strong shock, Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yao were shaken away, and the black gas on its body also dispersed a lot, and its true face was revealed. It was a middle-aged man with a pale and bloodless complexion, and his eyes glowed very brightly. What kind of monster is this? At this time, Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao had questions at the same time.

"Cousin, is he a human or a ghost?" Zhang Xiao asked as he fell to the ground, but Zhang Xiao didn't speak, obviously he had never seen him. I hate myself for being too weak, and the sword in my hand can't even be unsheathed.

Before the two of them could get up, the man gathered a cloud of dead air in his hands, dangerous, and if he didn't dodge quickly, his life would definitely be in danger. "You two go quickly, and I'll clean him up. At this time, Bo Qing had already arrived, although he was a little scary to see this middle-aged man, but how powerful could he be.

Bo Qing quickly ran towards the middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man seemed to have no intention of fighting, neither dodging nor attacking, so Bo Qing punched him hard. Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yao were still a little expectant, but when they saw Bo Qing's punch as if he was hitting a stone, even Bo Qing himself was stunned. They knew very well that Bo Qing had offended the local heroes before becoming Zhang Jiao's guard, and as a result, he was wanted and arrested, and he killed eight officers and soldiers who were chasing him with his bare hands, which shows how strong he is, and no wonder he is so confident. But looking at the situation in front of him again, it is obvious that Bo Qing is not the opponent of the middle-aged man at all.

At this time, the middle-aged man was facing Zhang Yao's dead breath in his hand, and he hit Bo Qing directly. Zhang Yao had already expected it, and directly asked the stand-in to rush forward to block the dead air, save Bo Qing, and the huge impact also shook Bo Qing far away.

Zhang Xiao was very distressed at this time, now is a good opportunity, but unfortunately his current cultivation, if he forcibly draws the sword, it will cost his life, but at this time he immediately made up his mind that he had to do it. He clenched the sword of the age trace, and was ready to draw the sword as soon as he got close, with the sword of this immortal cultivator, he would definitely be able to hit him hard.

Just when Zhang Xiao was about to get close to the middle-aged man, suddenly a circle of flames appeared under the feet of the middle-aged man, as high as one zhang, surrounding the middle-aged man inside. The three of them looked in the direction of the village, it was Bo Cai casting a spell, this array was the original Vermilion Bird Five Elements Array, whether it was a demon or a monster as long as they were in the array, they could not escape, and they would be slowly refined.

Zhang Jiao also rushed to everyone's side at this time, and said eagerly to Zhang Xiao and Zhang Jiao: "Xiao'er, Xiao'er, are you okay?" Seeing that although they looked a little embarrassed, it was really nothing serious, and without waiting for them to answer, Zhang Jiao immediately turned around and looked at the middle-aged people in the array, this is what he is most worried about. Then, take out the "Taiping Qing Lingdao Scroll", inject the aura into it, and then the rich breath of life emanates from it, making people feel relaxed and happy all of a sudden.

The middle-aged man should have also felt it, and walked out of the Vermilion Bird Five Elements Array directly, which made everyone break out in a cold sweat. However, he didn't want to attack anyone, but just emitted a large amount of black gas, wrapped himself in it, and quickly left towards the upper reaches of the river.

As soon as the middle-aged man left, everyone was relieved. "Dad, who is he, what is he cultivating, how did you get rid of him?" Although Zhang Jiao consumed a lot of spiritual energy, he was not injured, so he immediately ran to Zhang Jiao's side and kept asking, there must be a lot of questions she wanted to ask.

"Now it seems that this matter is very dangerous, Daddy will explain it to you later, let's see if you are injured first. After Zhang Jiao finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Xiao and Bo Qing again, but they were only bruises, so he said to Bo Qing and Guan Hai who came later: "Guan Hai, Bo Qing, you are keeping vigil today, this matter has become quite dangerous now, you should be careful yourself." ”

"Yes!"

At this time, Zhang Xiao was holding the sword of the year in a daze, completely realizing that he was really useless, in front of that person, there was no point in fighting or not fighting, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he became. "Hey, cousin, what's wrong, are you hurting inside? Your body is so weak, you won't listen to your father at night. Zhang Jiao saw that Zhang Xiao was a little worried, so she couldn't help but come over and make sarcasm, which is also what she likes to do.

"I'm fine, let's go back. Zhang Xiao was in no mood to say anything, and suddenly realized that he had practiced for a few years, but in the end he was useless. Zhang Jiao was also very worried, and when he returned to the village, he should be able to say that he had a clue about the nine murders, but if it was really done by a ghost, it would be an indescribable trouble.

At night, in the guest room of the village chief's house, the village chief has been asking about the murder.

"How can you let him go? Good teacher, if the evil spirit is not eliminated for a moment, the villagers will not be at ease. "Since Zhang Jiao returned to the village, Village Chief Jing has never stopped talking. Zhang Jiao also said a little impatiently: "Village Chief Jing, I will think of a way to destroy it, don't be too anxious, it will definitely not run, you go back to rest first." Then the two of them finally sent the village chief out of the village after a few polite words, Zhang Jiao was indeed very worried, and a little helpless, the ghost was not so easy to solve, and now he was a little helpless.

"Uncle, who is that person today, I have a lot of things to ask you. Seeing the village chief Jing leaving, Zhang Xiao couldn't wait to ask Zhang Jiao. "yes, yes, I have a lot of questions. Zhang Yao also posted it curiously.

"Let me tell you this, the man you see today is neither a human nor a ghost. Zhang Jiao sat down on the chair, and Zhang Xiao and Zhang Jiao also sat next to him, so he continued: "Its name is Zixu Ghost, it exudes black light and black dead air, and its eyes will glow white, giving people all the feeling that this is a ghost, but any tricks and magic weapons to deal with ghosts are ineffective against them, and they are invulnerable. ”

"Ahh

"I don't know this, my master, that is, your grandfather Yu, has encountered them before, and I haven't been able to find their weaknesses, but I know that they don't like to touch living things, so they shouldn't kill people. Zhang Jiao said that he also felt strange, so how could this sub-ghost appear in the village today?

"In that case, the killer may not be the Zixu ghost, the Zixu ghost just happened to appear here, and the murderer was something else. Zhang Xiao thought about so many things that were not right, so he could only explain like this, and felt that things were getting more and more complicated.

Zhang Jiao was also very relieved to see that the two of them were so attentive, and said, "It's not too early, you guys should rest early." You're still young now, so you don't have to worry about these things, just cultivate well. Xiao'er, don't be too discouraged, you've only been cultivating for a few years, it's already very good to have such a cultivation, don't put too much pressure on yourself, one day you can use the Age Trace Sword at will. Zhang Jiao saw through Zhang Xiao's thoughts at a glance.

Hearing Zhang Jiao say this, Zhang Xiao felt a lot relieved, he was really anxious. "Go to sleep, and we'll go up the river early tomorrow morning, and if we can't get up, we won't let you go." I'm going to talk to Uncle Bocai now, so don't mess around at night. Zhang Jiao walked out of the guest room after giving instructions.

"Cousin, let's play tricks. As soon as Zhang Jiao left, Zhang Jiao became entangled with Zhang Xiao.

"Don't be, cousin, I have to get up early tomorrow to do things with my uncle. Although Zhang Xiao was very reluctant to play with this cousin, how could he get rid of it.

The next morning, Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao got up early, in order to be able to follow to investigate.

"Xiao'er, Xiao'er, you two don't have to go with you, stay in the village. Zhang Jiao said: "In case you run into a ghost again, it's not fun." ”

"Why, I'm strong, I've fought with it. When Zhang Miao heard that she couldn't follow, she was not happy, what was the point of not being able to follow to play, but she could only be obedient. Zhang Xiao was also a little disappointed, but he understood that it was wisest for him to stay.

Soon, Zhang Jiao and his party set off, leaving Zhang Xiao and Zhang Jiao, feeling really bored. However, Zhang Yao suddenly thought of something interesting: "Cousin, I'm idle anyway, let's go to the river to catch fish." ”

"I just met Zixu ghost by the river yesterday, you still want to go today, I won't go. Zhang Xiao still had some palpitations, so he immediately refused. But the result was still the same, Zhang Xiao couldn't twist this cousin, so he was dragged by Zhang Xiao and walked towards the outside of the village.

As they approached the entrance to the village, they saw a man walk into the village, a woman with a turban and veil to be exact. When she approached the two, she took off her veil, smiled at Zhang Xiao, pointed to the sword on his waist and said, "You are a spirit sword." ”
