"Brother Zhou, what's going on?" Yan Chixia asked.
"Brother Yan, they were sent by the old demon from Montenegro." Zhou Qiang looked at the four demons, "You guys tell me what's going on."
"Shangxian, a few days ago, Lord Montenegro sent Dark Crow..." The four demons hurriedly explained the situation.
"So that's it, that old Black Mountain demon still wants to take revenge." Yan Chixia felt a little troubled. If the old Black Mountain demon is still alive in the world, just kill him and fight to the death.
But now that the old demon of Montenegro is in the underworld, they need to go to the underworld to kill the old demon of Montenegro, which is not easy.
"Brother Yan, the old Black Mountain demon can't hide in the underworld. Even if it comes out, it will send its clone to the Yang world. It's very difficult to kill it."
"That's right."
"In that case, why don't we..." Zhou Qiang came up with an idea, which was to delay first.
Ask the four demons to reply to the old demon from Montenegro, saying that Yan Chixia and Zhou Qiang were not found.
Let's wait for a long time and see if the old demon from Montenegro will forget about this matter.
It's best to forget.
Don’t forget it, we’ll see what happens when the time comes.
If the Black Mountain Demon wants to take revenge on ordinary people in Guobei County, they will come out and arrange a fight with the Black Mountain Demon to fight to the death.
"Okay, let's do it like this."
After the two of them had reached an agreement, they went to a small residence in Taoyuan together to drink and discuss Taoism.
…
Time passes day by day.
There is basically nothing going on here in Zhou Qiang.
He practices every day, refining elixirs, refining weapons, playing with formations, etc.
In addition, Zhou Qiang taught "Baiyang Illustration" to Xiahou Swordsman, allowing Xiahou Swordsman to embark on the path of cultivation.
Yan Chixia has been in Guobei County and occasionally goes out to slay demons.
Guobei County is getting better and better under the governance of Ning Caichen and others.
More and more people are fleeing from other places.
The food supply in Guobei County has always been in short supply.
Fortunately, Zhou Qiang provided a lot of food so that people in Guobei County would not starve to death.
One year, two years...
The old demon from Montenegro seemed to have forgotten Zhou Qiang and Yan Chixia.
It sent four demons to kill Zhou Qiang and Yan Chixia but failed, and later let the matter go.
The four demons have not had an easy life these years.
They have been looking for treasures of heaven and earth for Zhou Qiang.
Tiger found a lot of Gengjin and other weapon refining materials for Zhou Qiang.
The red fox found several spiritual trees for Zhou Qiang. In addition to the nearly thousand-year-old red fruit tree, he also found pear trees, apricot trees, etc. The fruits produced by these fruit trees are all spiritual fruits, each with its own wonderful uses.
Zhu Guo can be eaten directly by mortals. After eating it, it can make people reborn and prolong their lives. It has many benefits.
Although the fruits of pear and apricot trees can be eaten directly by ordinary people, pears tend to be cold and apricots tend to be hot. After eating, they can easily cause other troubles, so other elixirs are needed to prepare them.
Qing Lang found a lot of elixirs for Zhou Qiang. They were of different years and had many uses.
Zhou Qiang was very satisfied with what Black Bear did.
He became the director of Zhou Qiang Medicine Garden.
It has a special talent that can improve the spiritual power of the land.
The key to the growth of elixir lies in the land.
The land is also divided into different levels according to the level of spiritual power: lower spiritual land, medium spiritual land, and upper spiritual land.
The land where Zhou Qiang planted the elixir was originally ordinary land. It might have some spiritual power, but it was not considered spiritual land yet.
When the spiritual energy is strong, the land can slowly absorb the spiritual energy and become a spiritual land.
However, this transformation process takes a long time.
Black Bear makes the process faster.
It didn't take long for the land in Zhou Qiang's Medicine Garden to turn into an inferior spiritual land.
A few years later, it became a medium spiritual place.
It is considered the most comfortable one among the four demons. There is no need to go out to look for treasures.
this day.
The black bear didn't sleep around.
It secretly looked at the place where Zhou Qiang was practicing in seclusion and felt that Zhou Qiang should not come out for several days as usual.
It shook its head and walked to the peach tree, looked around furtively, and then climbed to the hive in twos and twos and began to steal honey.
"Buzz..." The bee was angry, this damn bear came to steal honey again. They angrily stabbed the black bear with poisonous needles.
But it is of no use. The black bear has rough skin and thick flesh, and is not afraid of the poisonous sting of honey.
It ate for a while.
Just about to go down to sleep.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura enveloped his head.
With a plop, the black bear fell down.
It held its head, its butt was exposed, and its whole body was shivering.
There were dark clouds and thunder and lightning.
The sky that was still sunny just now suddenly changed its face.
Zhou Qiang appeared in the air.
He's going to break through.
He practiced in the Jindan realm for several years and finally broke through to the Nascent Soul realm.
Cross-legged in the air, Zhou Qiang wanted to survive the final Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation.
Thunder fell one after another.
Zhou Qiang still didn't use any magic weapons or magic weapons. His Five Elements Holy Body was still able to withstand thunder and lightning, absorb the power of thunder and lightning, and refine his magic power.
He also practiced body-training techniques, but they were basically of no use.
His Five Elements Holy Body is already strong enough. If he wants to continue to become stronger, he still needs to practice the "Nine Transformations Mysterious Technique".
But the minimum standard for practicing "Nine Transformations Mysterious Technique" is the realm of Yuanshen.
This was something Zhou Qiang came to through his own study. He had been studying the "Nine Transformations Mysterious Skill".
soon.
Survive the thunder tribulation.
Zhou Qiang became a monk in the Yuanying realm.
He descended slowly.
Not far away, the black bear was still shivering.
"Black Bear, did you steal honey again?"
"Ah? No, sir, I didn't eat it secretly." Black Bear refused to admit it. There was honey on its paws and on its body, but it just wouldn't admit it. It's a lying black bear.
】
"Hmph, you still dare to lie. I will punish you with a day's work today and you will not be allowed to rest for a moment."
"Ah, sir, no, I..."
"Two days."
"Ah?" Black Bear wanted to say something else.
"Three days."
"Okay." Black Bear was honest now. It is often lazy, often punished, and is used to it.
…
A few days later.
Guobei County.
Zhenbei Martial Arts School.
"Brother Zhou, please have tea." Ning Caichen said.
"Brother Ning, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing?" Zhou Qiang often practices in seclusion and does not come to Guobei County.
"Everything is fine." Ning Caichen said. He is already married and has several children.
"Brother Yan, where are Xiahou and the others?"
"I heard that monsters appeared near the capital, and they went to slay them together."
"Where's Zhiqiu?"
"Zhiqiu went back to Kunlun Mountain. It seems that something happened to his master."
"Brother Ning, have you felt anything unusual recently?" Zhou Qiang asked.
"Abnormal? What abnormality?"
"Brother Ning, have any strangers come to your house recently?" Zhou Qiang noticed something was wrong. Ning Caichen's hall turned black and was haunted by demons and ghosts.
"Stranger? Well, a few days ago, my wife met a woman on the road. She said she was a concubine who escaped and begged my wife to take her in. She is now at my house.
Brother Zhou, is there something wrong? "
"I'm afraid there's something wrong with that woman. Brother Ning, let's go to your house and let me see what kind of monsters come out to harm people."
"well."
…
Ning Caichen's family.
"Brother Zhou is here, let's serve some good tea." Ning Caichen's wife, Ning's family, knew Zhou Qiang, so she hurriedly came forward to greet him.
"Sister-in-law, where is the girl you brought home?" Zhou Qiang asked directly.
"Ah? Are you looking for Xiao Lian? She is playing with Xiao Shitou in the yard over there." Xiao Shitou is Ning Caichen's son.
"Let's go over and have a look." Zhou Qiang walked over directly.
"Caichen, what's wrong?" Ning asked Ning Caichen in a low voice. She felt something was wrong.
"That Xiaolian is probably a monster."
"Ah? What should we do?"
"It's okay, Brother Zhou can conquer demons and eliminate demons."
yard.
"You can't catch me..." Xiaolian and Xiao Shitou were playing.
As soon as Zhou Qiang entered the yard, Xiaolian's expression changed.
She suddenly took action and grabbed the small stone.
"do not come!"
"Why did you want to harm Ning Caichen?" Zhou Qiang waved his hand casually and rescued Xiao Shitou.
Ning Caichen and his wife behind them had no time to worry.
"Ah? I, I didn't harm anyone." Xiaolian suddenly found that she couldn't move and could only speak.
"Huh, why don't you tell me the truth!" Zhou Qiang frowned slightly. A pressure appeared out of nowhere and pressed on Xiaolian.
"Ah..." Xiaolian screamed and turned into a fierce ghost. A layer of human skin on its body fell to the ground. It is a fierce ghost in human skin.
"Sir, please forgive me, I am..." Xiao Lian said.
It was controlled by a monk to seize Ning Caichen's family property.
Over the years, Ning Caichen has been busy in Guobei County. He has built a huge property and is jokingly called 'Ning Bancheng' by the common people. Half of the entire Guobei County belongs to Ning Caichen.
Money moves people's hearts.
A thief monk set his sights on Ning Caichen's huge family fortune and wanted to take it away.
In addition, Xiaolian also had a tragic life experience.
She originally came from a scholarly family and had a good upbringing since she was a child. However, she later became seriously ill and sought medical treatment everywhere, but was targeted by that thief monk.
This thief monk harmed Xiaolian's family.
He also trained Xiaolian into a fierce ghost and helped him harm others.
This thief monk was of high cultivation and cautious in his actions. After he set his sights on Ning Caichen, he also found out the details of Ning Caichen. He knew about Yan Chixia and how many people there were in Qiu Yiye.
But he is not afraid of Yan Chixia and Zhiqiu Yiye. Because his cultivation level is higher and his spells are stronger.
"I see. Let me help you reincarnate." Zhou Qiang used his methods to make Xiaolian lose her ghost body and reincarnate.
