Deep in the mountains.
Taoyuan residence.
Zhou Qiang practices here alone.
This is the place he just traveled through and arranged.
Because there is a big peach tree, Zhou Qiang named it Taoyuan Xiaoju.
It has been a month since the centipede was exterminated.
Arrangements have been made in Guobei County.
Zhou Qiang began to practice alone again.
He doesn't want to deal with the trivial matters of the world.
He just wanted to practice quietly here.
There is a spirit gathering array arranged here, and the spiritual energy is quite abundant.
Zhou Qiang is practicing here and his progress is not slow.
He pulled out a black sword.
This black sword is the sword that Zhou Qiang used to take away the Black Mountain old demon.
"This sword is made of good material. It should be a magic weapon of a certain monk. However, it was infected by the old monster from Black Mountain with dirty blood and yin energy. It has lost many of its magical effects. I wonder if it can be restored?"
Zhou Qiang walked to the yard.
Place the black sword in a formation.
This formation is called "Qingling Formation".
The Qingling Array has a single function, which is to remove alien spiritual energy.
Zhou Qiang wants to use the formation to refine this black sword.
"I don't know if it will work. Let's give it a try for now."
Play magic spells casually and activate formations.
A ray of green light shines on the black sword.
"Zizzizi..." Black smoke came out.
The yin energy, dirty blood, and many other filthy things on the black sword were quickly removed.
"Start quickly and then slowly. This is not a matter of hurry." Zhou Qiang looked at it casually and then returned to his room to continue practicing. He knew that the alien impurities on the black sword were not easy to remove and would take a long time to be refined.
He is in no hurry.
He may be practicing, refining elixirs, or refining weapons.
He lived a leisurely and reclusive life.
...
Hades.
"Ah... Damn it, my sword! I'm going to kill you!" The black sword was handled by Zhou Qiang, and the old Black Mountain demon sensed it.
But it didn't dare to send its men to the Yangshi, nor did it dare to send its clones.
It suffered a big loss last time and did not dare to confront Yan Chixia and Zhou Qiang head-on in Yangshi.
It thought grimly for a moment.
With a casual move, several Hades crows flew over.
"Jiligulu..." The old Black Mountain demon said a few words and then let the underworld crow fly away.
It seems to want the Hades to send a message.
The Hades Crow is a special being that can travel between the underworld and the Yang world.
...
In the mountains near Guobei County.
A cave.
A tiger is sleeping in the cave.
It breathes in and out, as if absorbing spiritual energy.
It's a tiger spirit.
It happened to become a monster.
At this time, a Hades crow flew over.
The tiger suddenly became alert.
"Huh? Special envoy of the underworld? You are here, but you are not welcome from afar. What do you have to say, Lord Montenegro?" The tiger spoke a bit literately. It specially captured a few scholars and studied culture. It is not an ignorant tiger, it is a cultured tiger.
"Quack quack..." Ming Crow couldn't speak. It croaked a few times and finally spoke. It also sprayed a cloud of black smoke in the air, and the black smoke formed the shapes of two people, Zhou Qiang and Yan Chixia.
"I know, I will kill them." The tiger spoke with his mouth wide open.
"Quack" the crow flew to several other places.
A black bear, a den of red foxes, and a group of green wolves all received orders from the old demon from Montenegro.
Half a day later.
Tiger Cave.
The black bear, red fox, and big green wolf are all here.
They are all original forms and have not changed their bodies. They find it uncomfortable to pretend to be human.
"Master Heishan has ordered us to kill two people. What do you think?" Tiger spoke first. It is the strongest and the boss of these monsters.
Neither the black bear nor the green wolf spoke.
"This matter is quite strange." The red fox shook his head and said. It is considered a strategist. It has the weakest physical strength, but it knows the most spells and is deeply hidden. Green Wolf bit it, but one of its teeth was chipped.
"How do you say this?" Tiger asked.
"When will Lord Black Mountain use us if he wants to kill someone? He used to send ghost soldiers to kill him directly." Red Fox said.
Tiger nodded and said nothing. It also felt wrong.
"A few months ago, there was a war at Lanruo Temple, and many of my descendants had their souls sucked away." Qing Lang suddenly spoke. It talks about Lanruo Temple.
There are many wild wolves in the woods near Lanruo Temple.
Previously, the ghost soldiers of the Black Mountain Old Demon killed many wild wolves.
"Where did Lord Montenegro's ghost soldiers appear?" Red Fox asked.
"Yes, I have investigated before and there should be many ghost soldiers dead there." Qinglang said.
"So, Lord Black Mountain sent ghost soldiers to Yangshi to kill those two people, but they failed." Red Fox said.
"It should be." Qinglang said.
"Master Heishan's ghost soldiers failed, can we kill those two people?" Tiger asked.
After the tiger asked, the red fox and the green wolf stopped talking.
The black bear was in a daze and didn't speak, but occasionally there was a cunning look in his eyes. It plays dumb all the time.
But its disguise is known to other monsters. Just too lazy to debunk it.
There was silence for a while.
"Master Montenegro has a destiny, we have to obey, we must take action." Red Fox said. They had to obey the orders of the old demon of Montenegro, otherwise, they would all be eaten by the old demon of Montenegro.
The tiger, green wolf, and black bear all looked at the red fox.
"We are like this, like this..." The red fox came up with a plan.
...
Guobei County.
This morning.
A hunter came driving a donkey cart.
There was a lot of game on his donkey cart, which was covered with straw mats.
He is in his forties and is a well-known hunter in the neighborhood. Every time he hunts, he has a lot of harvests. He has allowed his two sons to marry and have children, and he has also bought a house in the county.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Li, are you guarding the city gate today?"
"Old Sun, you went hunting again. Did you gain a lot?" The people guarding the city gate are all from the Zhenbei Martial Arts School. They are also registered with the county government and are considered members of the government.
"It's not bad. The mountain god will give you face and a meal." Orion Sun smiled and said hello before entering the city.
He walked around the streets and alleys and came to a shop that collected mountain goods.
"Old Sun is here? We caught so many prey again." Old Wangtou saw the business coming and walked out in a hurry.
"Hehe, the Mountain God is giving me face." Sun Orion smiled. One thing he often said was that the mountain god gave him face.
"This deer is worth one tael of silver to you. This wild boar is not small. I'll give you five taels of silver. This..." Lao Wangtou quickly settled the accounts.
After a while.
Sun Orion got the money.
He was in no hurry to leave.
"Shopkeeper Wang, please ask me something. Do you know these two people?" Sun Orion took out two portraits, Zhou Qiang and Yan Chixia.
"Looking for someone? Let me take a look." Old Wangtou took the portrait casually, "Oh, I know them. They are the instructors of the Zhenbei Martial Arts School."
...
A few days later.
"Master Yan, let's go this way." Orion Sun led the way and led Yan Chixia into the mountains and forests.
Before, Orion Sun inquired about Yan Chixia's situation.
Then, return it to the tiger spirit.
Orion Sun is the subordinate of Tiger Spirit.
Orion Sun is considered a traitor.
He was once caught by a tiger. The tiger did not eat him, but let him do evil.
He often lures other hunters to go to the tiger, which is regarded as giving blood food to the tiger.
This time, Tiger sent Sun Orion to inquire about Yan Chixia and Zhou Qiang.
He found out Yan Chixia's situation and found Yan Chixia, but he did not find Zhou Qiang.
The tiger discussed with the fox and green wolf and planned to get rid of Yan Chixia first.
The fox came up with a plan to lure Yan Chixia into the mountain.
They ambush Yan Chixia in the mountains.
Sun Orion used the excuse of discovering a monster and asked Yan Chixia to get rid of the monster.
Everyone else was busy, so Yan Chixia came alone.
He believed in the honest and honest Orion Sun.
They walked for two hours straight.
Yan Chixia has achieved success in practice and is neither hungry nor tired.
Orion Sun was tired and hungry.
But he did not dare to stop and eat solid food.
There are monsters waiting ahead.
He didn't dare delay.
Walked for a while.
"Stop." Yan Chixia stopped Orion Sun, "You stay here, there are indeed monsters ahead."
Yan Chixia has already seen the evil spirit.
"Master Yan, monsters are powerful, can you do it alone?"
"It doesn't matter, I don't care about mere monsters."
"Master Yan, I have some dry food here, how about you eat it before going over?"
"Okay, I'm a little hungry after walking for a while." Yan Chixia did not refuse the dry food and water handed over by Orion Sun.
Seeing Yan Chixia eating and drinking, Sun Orion's eyes were a little complicated, but he didn't say anything.
"You hide aside and wait..." Yan Chixia gave a few instructions and went to slay the demons.
There was worry in Orion Sun's eyes, and he didn't know what he was worried about.
