"Eh? Xiao Huan, is there a snake on your head?" Wan Niang, who was sitting on the horse, suddenly said.
"What?" Tian Huan was shocked when he heard this, then reached out and touched his head, and then touched a small white snake that was as slender as a chopstick.
The white snake wrapped its head around Tian Huan's finger and raised its head. The snake's eyes were crystal clear, its scales were as tender as jade, and it was quite spiritual. It looked unusual.
"Spirit beast? A young spirit snake?" Tian Huan's eyes showed some doubts. Is his luck so great that he can be approached by spirit snakes while walking on the road?
Tian Huan checked the little white snake, but didn't seem to find anything. Tian Huan hesitated for a moment, and then put the young snake on the ground.
"You are too young. Go back and practice for another hundred years, and then come and serve me."
However, what surprised Tian Huan was that the white snake did not leave. Instead, it climbed up along Tian Huan's legs, and then settled in Tian Huan's hair again.
"This..." Tian Huan was happy, but he didn't expect that this little snake would depend on him. Tian Huan, who had been worried for several days because of his strange dream, felt much more cheerful.
"Forget it, since you want to follow me, then let's go. But if you decide to follow me now, it won't be that easy if you want to leave in the future." Tian Huan smiled, and then acquiesced to the little snake. Perched on one's head.
"Let's go, Wan Niang, I can have a good sleep if I leave that deep pool."
........
On the edge of the rugged mountain road, there is a dense forest in a mountain col. What is quite surprising is that the forest is covered with thick fog for some reason. Outsiders, whether they are humans or animals, will never be able to get out after entering the fog forest. coming.
This place is already on the edge of the mountainous area. If we can go straight, we can reach the foot of the mountain in less than a hundred miles and see the farmland below.
But except for birds, nowhere can you go straight in the mountains. However, you need to walk nearly two hundred miles to truly get out of the mountains and forests.
Usually outsiders from the mountains, even hunters with weapons, rarely come here. After all, walking inside is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also more likely to encounter monsters patrolling the mountains or hunting.
Even the outsiders who escaped into the mountains last year mostly hid in the realm dozens of miles into the mountains. Although there were also many ferocious beasts there, and occasionally demons wandered around, fortunately in previous years, there were practitioners who went into the mountains to collect or gain experience. , I have easily eliminated many demons and ghosts, but I can still survive temporarily.
Dusk was approaching, and a young Taoist was walking along the mountain road with ease. Although the Taoist was carrying a backpack half as tall as a man, he didn't look very tired.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Xiaodao suddenly stopped, then with a bit of helplessness on his face, he took off a piece of talisman attached to his body.
"Hurry up and hurry up. I still haven't rushed back before the talisman runs out."
After the young man sighed, he put away the talisman paper that had lost its aura and turned into gray-white. He then lifted the backpack on his back with some difficulty, then looked around, found a protruding rock, climbed up, and went inside. After walking a few more steps, I pushed aside the branches and shrubs and broke off some dead branches and piled them together.
Then he put down his backpack, reached out and took out a new piece of talisman paper, made some gestures on the dead branch, put the talisman paper away, took out another fire fold, lay on the edge of the dead branch, and carefully Dead branches ignite.
"Well, if I could reach the third level of Qi refining or above, why would I need to be stingy with the cheapest white fire-burning talisman." The little Taoist muttered a few words, and then took out a piece of dried meat from the side of the backpack. And a steamed bun.
"Little fairy masters, little Taoist priests, no matter how nice the screams of mortals are, no matter how comfortable they are, they still can't live without food. They can only run when they go out, and they have to be scolded by the stewards in the temple. How can they have any charm of the immortal family? Even the Taoist temple They are all hiding, afraid of monsters, ghosts, barbarians, and the government, and they will try their best to bully us if they see anything wrong."
Xiaodao muttered while grilling dinner, preparing to carry a backpack back to Guanli after eating. However, when he thought that he would have to carry a backpack weighing dozens of kilograms and walk ten miles, Xiaodao looked ugly, and even more so. He complained mercilessly.
"Sooner or later the monster will raid your nest."
After swallowing the dried meat and steamed buns with the water in the bamboo tube, Xiaodao rested for a while, then got up and peed, put out the fire, and then put on the backpack with a grimace.
"Let's go, let's go. Although the temple is a mess, it is a place where you can practice magic. Maybe someday, I will be as strong as those old guys in the temple."
Without the blessing of the talisman, the little Taoist could no longer feel relaxed. He carried a backpack weighing dozens of kilograms and walked on the mountain road. After a while, the young face was covered with fine sweat, and he was blown away by the cold wind in the mountains in early spring. I couldn't help but shuddered.
"That's strange, why is my heart pounding so fast? Could something bad happen?"
After walking a few miles on the mountain road, Xiaodao suddenly felt a little panicked. He looked up in the direction of his Taoist temple, but his sight was blocked by the forest in front of him.
"Don't panic, don't panic, the temple master is an expert at the seventh level of Qi refining. There is no opponent within a hundred or ten miles that can compete with the temple master." Xiaodao thought about the Taoist priest in charge who had boasted before that the temple master was a man of low rank. A powerful monk who slays demons.
It is said that a flying sword was used to kill a wolf demon that was condensed with demon elixir. The wolf skin and wolf head, which were as big as a calf, were hung in the center of the main hall of the temple.
"It would be great if I could also have a flying sword." Xiaodao pointed forward and made a whooshing sound.
In front of the gray fog forest a few miles away from the boy, Tian Huan and the demons looked at the forest in a mountain valley. It was not too big, but it was surrounded by mountains and rivers. It looked very deep, and there were gray trees in the forest. The fog was thick, but it was quite secluded.
"Great Commander, last time Hu Changshi and I met two demon generals on the road. We had no choice but to take a detour, but we also accidentally discovered the secrets here. However, Hu Changshi and I had a mission at the time. It’s not easy to investigate in detail. After returning, Changshi Hu was concerned about this matter and sent a little demon to investigate."
After Abao completed the task of chasing the demon down the mountain, he received news that Tian Huan was leading the army on the way back, so he agreed to meet nearby.
"Oh, so you found out that there is a small Taoist temple hidden here?" Tian Huan originally planned to find a secluded small valley to stay, but unexpectedly, the little demon sent by Hu Changsheng actually sent back good news.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, this place is remote and hidden, and the surrounding area is relatively barren. There is no rich production, and it does not attract attention. If it is only used as a transit camp, it is very suitable." Although Abao came in a hurry, But I have a good eye. I just glanced around and counted the advantages and disadvantages.
"Is it barren?" Tian Huan frowned when he heard this, and then relaxed. If this place is rich in spiritual energy and rich in various resources such as herbs, ores, and wild beasts, then it is obviously not his turn to develop it.
"Okay, no, very good. This place is very suitable for me as a transit camp." Of course, Tian Huan did not tell his subordinates that he planned to stay here permanently instead of just using this place as a transit camp.
Some things are better done than said.
"So, the residents here..., no, I should say, how strong are the villains who have occupied our camp? Where are the little monsters from the detective team?"
