Southeast of the mountain col, a river flows around it. The river water is still crystal clear, and the grassland on both sides is still so vibrant.
But in the afternoon of that day, there was a sudden chaos on the mountain col, and then more than twenty men rushed to the river, all brandishing knives and sticks, as if facing a formidable enemy.
The leader was Yuan Han. He was holding a long sword and was out of breath, but his eyes were wide open and his expression was solemn.
However, among the group of strong men stood a young man, wearing a strange silk gown, several rings on his hands, and a bun on his head, with an unusual appearance.
It's Yu Ye. As soon as he heard that the thieves had invaded, he ran over. And where is the thief? When the river passes, there is a large field. Three or five miles away, there are valleys and mountain ridges leading into the distance, but they are blocked by the jungle and cannot be seen clearly.
Suddenly I heard a shout from above my head: "Brother Yuanhan, the thieves are coming -" There were several old trees standing at the entrance of the village, and a lean man was climbing high on the top of the tree to look out.
Sure enough, before the shouting ended, several figures appeared in the river valley three to five miles away, and then they came into groups, and then more and more, and all of them were strong and strong, rushing straight towards the mountain col like a pack of wolves. .
"Brother Yu..." Yuan Han was not afraid of the mountain monster, but at this time his voice was trembling.
Yu Ye wanted to comfort him, but then shook his head. At this moment, his face also showed a look of surprise and bitterness.
There were thirty or forty so-called thieves, all dressed in Taoist robes and the costumes of the Yanzhou Immortal Sect.
As expected, it was the Yanzhou monk who had arrived at Tianshen Temple earlier. Among them was a person he knew but didn't want to see. From Yuan Han's point of view, Yu Ye's appearance was no different from that of a thief.
The true origin of this brother has been revealed. The dangers from wild beasts can be dealt with, but the dangers from human hearts are impossible to guard against.
If the thieves cooperate inside and outside, Yuanjia Village will be in disaster.
"Brother Yu, you are harming me -" Yuan Han's words were full of desperate hatred, and he turned to shout: "This is Yuanjia Village, stop anyone coming!" Groups of monks have arrived at the river one after another. Thinking of crossing the river, they saw more than twenty strong men guarding the other side, so they all stopped.
The leader was an old man, who shouted with a cold and majestic expression: "Why are you blocking the road?" He looked at Yu Ye in the crowd, raised his hand and said, "Junior, I remember you, Tianjimen. "Yu Ye, could it be that you have seduced these mountain people to become my enemies?" Yu Ye was completely unaware of Yuan Han's hateful gaze, and raised his hand and said, "Senior Guan, nice to meet you!" The old man turned out to be Guan Yi. , the Yuanying elder of the Tiantong sect.
And since E'an, Ying Ling, and Ping Yangzi went out to look for artifacts, there was no need to be surprised to see this person.
"I accidentally stumbled into this place. Thanks to Yuanjia Village for taking me in, I advise you all to stop here and not to disturb the ordinary folks!" Yu Ye said this and bowed.
Yuan Han was a little surprised to see him interceding for Yuanjiacun.
"Oh..." Guanyi twitched his beard and muttered, seemingly hesitant. The group of monks behind him talked all over the place——
"Where is that monster..."
"What kind of monster, Six-winged Salamander..."
"Only four wings..."
"The other two wings haven't grown yet, but they are definitely six-winged golden salamander..."
"Yes, I saw the Golden Salamander fighting the mountain demon the day before yesterday. I thought it was a local wonder. Who would have thought that after the Golden Salamander lured away the mountain demon, he returned the same way. Elder Guan guessed that the Golden Salamander was driven by others, so he searched for it all the way and would not fight with it. He must be related, eh..." Yu Ye frowned, adding a bit of helplessness.
The golden salamander lured away the mountain demon, but also attracted a group of Yanzhou monks. And a huge thing was flying in the sky, and it was making a lot of noise. If Guan Yi found it, he would definitely follow it.
As the saying goes, gains and losses accompany each other, misfortunes and blessings depend on each other. There is never a free advantage in the world. At this moment, more than ten people appeared at the entrance of the village, including Wen Gui, Lai Mian, Chi Li and his eight disciples.
"Master Chi Clan? Fellow Taoist Lai?" Guan Yi recognized Chi Li and Lai Mian and raised his hand to say hello. Lai Mian nodded slightly in greeting, while he and Wen Gui still stood and watched from a distance.
Chi Li led his disciples and rushed down the mountain col, crossed the river directly, and jumped onto the other side. He said happily like an old friend reunited: "Elder Guan, you are well here!"
"Well, nice to meet you!" Guanyi knew the origin of the master of the Demon Sect, so he exchanged a casual greeting and said, "Master Chi Sect, I have something to ask you!"
"Six-winged Salamander?"
"Master Chimen knows the whereabouts of the monster?"
"Haha, the spiritual creature raised by Yu Ye..." Chili was good at flattery and betrayed Yu Ye directly.
"Bah!" Yu Yean spat. First, Lai Mian and Wen Gui knew his true identity, and now Chi Li and Guan Yi.
And as long as a little bit of information leaks out, everything he conceals will become an open secret.
"No!" Guanyi glanced at Yu Ye, shook his head and said, "I heard that there is a magical medicine in Xishan called Immortality Grass. If a mortal eats it, his life can be extended to one hundred and fifty years. If this medicine is used to make elixirs, it will definitely have The miraculous effect of prolonging life. But I haven’t been able to find it for a long time. Will Lord Chimen be willing to help?”
"How could there be such a magical elixir in the world?" Chi Li said in disbelief. As we all know, immortality is also the way to immortality. However, longevity and cultivation realm complement each other, which makes many immortal cultivators regret their whole life because they have exhausted their longevity.
If there are elixirs that are beneficial to longevity, its usefulness can be imagined.
"Stop!" Seeing that Chili didn't seem to be lying, Guan Yi pointed at Yuan Han and others——
"You wild men in the mountains, who have lived here for generations, must know about the longevity grass, so you and I will go to the mountain to collect the medicine immediately!" Yuan Han shook his head decisively and said: "We have never heard of the longevity grass, so please don't do it for no reason. provocative!"
"Hmph!" Guanyi snorted coldly and said, "What the mountain people of Nanshan said with their own mouths, how can it be false?"
"Where is that fellow countryman? Please confront him face to face!"
"Gone!"
"No?" Guanyi didn't answer. The disciple beside him said: "A few vulgar mountain people injured my fellow disciples and sought death. If you don't know good from evil, you will definitely follow in their footsteps."
"Ah... you are indeed that group of thieves..." Yuan Han was already extremely angry. Guan Yi was too lazy to be verbose and said without any doubt: "Listen, man, quickly take people up the mountain to collect herbs!"
"I, Yuan Han, have spoken in advance, so I'm sorry that it's difficult to obey!"
"Hmph, if you dare to disobey me, I will raze this village to the ground!" Yuan Han suddenly raised his long sword across his chest and said with wide eyes: "Everyone who dares to step across the river even half a step, I, Yuanjia Village, will be the one hundred and twenty The eight fellow villagers will fight to the bitter end!"
"Haha!" Guanyi smiled sarcastically, waved his hand and shouted: "Disciples from each family will follow me into the village and seize women, children, old and young. If you are not afraid that this group of rough guys will not obey, cross the river -" Yuan Han's teeth creaked, With sparks in his eyes, he took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Our Yuanjia Village is facing a catastrophe, and our children of the Yuan family have no choice but to fight to the death!" This man from the mountains is brave, loyal, strong, and Fearless.
However, he and his brothers were still injured and outnumbered. For the safety of his clan and the inheritance of his bloodline, he had to fight to the death.
However, his desperate ambition and heroic words were not taken seriously by a group of monks. Someone has already stepped towards the river, and a battle is about to begin.
At this moment, Yu Ye suddenly took two steps forward, blocked Yuan Han and his brothers behind him, and then sternly yelled: "Back off -" but no one stepped back.
Even Guanyi flicked his sleeves and flew across the water.
"Bang -" the light flashed, the wind suddenly rose, the water splashed, and the two golden elixir monks who had stepped into the river suddenly flew away.
One of them vomited blood and fell into unconsciousness immediately; the other was bitten at the waist and then carried into the air by a giant winged monster.
Everyone was shocked and retreated hurriedly. Guan Yi said in astonishment: "Six-winged Golden Salamander? Yu Ye..."
"Hmph!" Yu Ye stood with his head held high, his eyebrows raised, and with a murderous look on his face, he said sternly: "Whoever dares to step even half a step across the river will be responsible for his own life and death!"
"You..." Guan Yi's expression changed.
"Ah——" A scream came, and two corpses fell into the air. But the ugly, ferocious, and extremely ferocious Six-winged Salamander is still full of arrogance, hovering high, its huge wings blowing in the strong wind, and it will rush down at any moment to start a bloody hunt.
Although the monks present were highly skilled in cultivation, they were unable to use it. They could only let the monsters wreak havoc and were helpless.
Guan Yi was filled with hatred, and raised his hand to scold: "Yu Ye, how dare you be my enemy and take the initiative to stir up grudges among the Immortal Sect. Are you not afraid that the sect will punish you, and are you not afraid that I will seek revenge from you afterwards?" He looked at it again? He said to Chili and Lai Mian: "Child Master Chi, Fellow Taoist Lai, you two must be familiar with that boy, and you are his elders, how can you allow him to cheat on you?" Lai Mian didn't say anything, turned around and left silently.
"Elder?" Chi Li shook his head and said awkwardly: "He has never had any respect for me, an elder, and now he relies on monsters, and he is even more arrogant..." The implication is that he can't deal with Yu Ye.
"Hmph, you're just relying on monsters, how dare you do whatever you want!" Guanyi was unwilling to give up and muttered to himself. He suddenly looked to the left and right and ordered in a low voice: "We are only here for the elixir..." Before he finished speaking, , someone beside him raised his hand and waved.
At this moment, black shadows appeared out of thin air, which turned out to be thorn-devouring martens, running towards Yu Ye, Yuan Han and others as fast as lightning.
Wen Guishang was still watching, and said in a voiceless voice: "Oh, I'm in trouble..." Among the monks who came here, there were actually disciples from Tianfu Sect's Yuling Hall.
In the ancient realm, cultivation of magical powers was useless, and ferocious beasts were the most tyrannical beings. If a large number of thorn-eating martens launch a strong attack, the golden newts alone will not be able to defend the small Yuanjia Village.
And once any mountain people fall into Guan Yi's hands, I'm afraid there will be no way for Yu Ye to recover.
"Bang, bang, bang--" Suddenly a group of thorn-eating martens appeared, and Yu Ye's expression changed drastically, but before he could think about it, he waved his hand and sacrificed another golden salamander, and whistled hastily.
Perhaps it had been patient for a long time, but the moment the golden salamander appeared, it flapped its giant wings, bit its mouth and clawed its feet, forcibly blocking the attack of more than a dozen thorn-eating martens.
The remaining thorn-devouring martens followed one after another, still extremely ferocious. Just as the golden salamander in the sky swooped down, there was another burst of crazy biting and killing.
Yu Ye grabbed a short sword and signaled Yuan Han to retreat. How could Yuan Han be willing to retreat and stick to the shore with his brothers?
There was a strong wind, flesh and blood splattered, the clear river water had become filthy, and groups of thorn-eating martens and golden salamanders were still biting and fighting.
Just as the two sides were fighting, several black shadows suddenly plunged into the ground. At the same time, two sword lights burst out of the wind and rushed towards the two golden salamanders...
