Jinzhou, at the entrance of the vegetable market.
There was a huge flow of people, and the pedestrians passing by looked at the big and small people at the intersection with strange expressions on their faces.
Zhao Huai was dressed in a white robe, showing his elegance, but he was holding Pei Xiangyun's collar with one hand, his face expressionless.
"I've finished explaining, but I'm disobedient again, right?"
"You little brat, you have too many things to worry about."
"Put me down!"
Pei Xiangyun stared with apricot eyes and pursed her mouth, obviously very dissatisfied with Zhao Huai.
"I'm not young!!"
She said extremely frantically.
"go home with me."
Zhao Huai was rude to this sister-in-law and left with her.
"Next time this happens, I'll tell your sister all the good things you did."
"Don't!"
When Pei Xiangyun heard this, he immediately became afraid.
What she said and what her brother-in-law said, even if they were the same, were completely different in my sister's ears.
My sister will definitely not listen to her explanation.
"Brother-in-law, I was wrong, isn't it alright?"
Zhao Huai ignored her wailing, put her down, and pulled her away.
Along the way, I passed by the store of Jishitang. I wanted to say hello, but I found that the door of Jishitang was closed and no one was seen.
According to common sense.
There is money to be made, and this guy is never absent. How could a good restaurant be closed?
Could it be that something happened?
"What's wrong, brother-in-law?"
Pei Xiangyun saw Zhao Huai's wandering eyes and couldn't help asking.
"Nothing, just thought of something."
Zhao Huai shook his head and was about to turn around and leave.
A familiar voice came from behind.
"Brother Zhao, long time no see."
He looked back and saw Yan Jing, whom he hadn't seen for months, opening the door and walking out.
His figure is still slim, and he is wearing a square scarf and green clothes. He cannot be more than middle-aged.
For some reason, after not seeing each other for a long time, Zhao Huai felt that there was something new in Yan Jing.
"Yeah, long time no see. I went out of town a few days ago and was a little busy."
Zhao Huai responded with a smile.
"Who is this"
Yan Jing asked curiously when he saw a woman in a skirt staring at him.
"This is my wife's sister, staying with me temporarily."
"Oh I got it."
A smile that all men understand appeared on Yan Jing's face.
"Brother Yan, why are you not doing business today?"
Zhao Huai glanced at the empty pharmacy inside the door and asked softly.
Yan Jing smiled and said nothing, put his hands behind his back, walked a few steps, and said with emotion: "I can't do it anymore, there are only a few more days of peace."
"What's the meaning?"
After hearing this, Zhao Huai seemed to feel something and hurriedly glanced at the horizon of Jinzhou.
It was late afternoon and the sun was starting to set.
Yan Jing suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "The national destiny of Great Yan has recovered, and the world cannot be the same as usual. There is a fear of big changes."
"Is this happening?"
Zhao Huai looked slightly stunned, acting as if he just knew.
He naturally knew who the culprit was, but he couldn't show it, so he paused for a few seconds and said:
"Even if Great Yan comes back, I think the secular world may not be in chaos. The Immortal Sect has always maintained the secular order, so it can't be so easy to overturn the world."
Zhao Huai thought of the Linglong Immortal Palace down the mountain, the Changsheng Taoist Temple and others, and felt that Jinzhou was relatively safe.
In addition, his cultivation level has just improved, and he is already invincible in the foundation building. The low-turning golden elixir can barely compete with it, and with the immortal sect as his backer, it should be stable.
The only thing I have to worry about is Daxia's purge.
But what the other party should worry about now is the aliens in the north.
Pei Xiangyun originally lowered his head and clasped his nails when he heard the word "big inflammation".
My ears perked up involuntarily.
She knew early on that this brother-in-law was not a simple man, he had never been able to find his identity, and his cultivation level was so high.
I originally suspected that he was a disciple who went down the mountain to live in seclusion, but now that I heard it, it seems that this is really the case.
The two of them are of the same world, and only people from the sect would call them that.
Which sect does your brother-in-law belong to?
As a result, she never dared to tell her father about the deeds of this awesome Hong Hong brother-in-law.
Because I was really afraid of the trouble that my father would cause when he went to find his brother-in-law, and my sister also told me to keep it a secret and not to cause any complications.
For Zhao Huai, she had changed from contempt at the beginning to awe.
My brother-in-law is amazing.
Seeing that Zhao Huai was indifferent, Yan Jing sighed and said: "Brother Zhao, Jinzhou is not a place to stay for a long time, and the world is the same."
"What news did Brother Yan get?"
Zhao Huai knew the other party's character and never did useless things, so he immediately asked seriously.
"I only know that there seems to be some movement in the Immortal and Demon Sects. No matter how specific it is, I don't know."
"Two gates of immortality and demon?"
Zhao Huai was stunned for a while.
There is news that Yan Jing doesn’t even know about?
Isn’t he known as a know-it-all?
Yan Jing took out a precious wooden token from his sleeve, which was wrapped with branches and shimmering with green light.
"If you are destined, you can use it to find me."
Zhao Huai took the token and looked at the big characters on it with surprise in his eyes.
"Brother Yan, you are"
"Yes, I am a disciple of Medicine Immortal Pill Valley."
Yan Jing said with a smile on his lips: "I have traveled all over the world over the years, traveling to various places, and finally settled in Jinzhou. I met you by chance. Jinzhou is indeed a good place, but passion has hurt us since ancient times, and now it is time to leave."
"I'm sorry, Brother Zhao, I've been hiding this from you all these years."
"It doesn't matter."
Zhao Huai smiled bitterly, but he didn't mean to be angry.
Because he himself had concealed his identity, how could he have the face to bother the other party.
Yan Jing turned around and locked the door, observed Zhao Huai's temperament, and smiled teasingly:
"Seeing that your cultivation has improved, you must have had another chance. I have known for a long time that you are not a thing in the pond. If we meet again in the immortal world in the future, don't forget me."
Zhao Huai smiled brightly when he heard this and replied:
"must."
Looking at the other party's leaving figure, Zhao Huai felt inexplicably emotional in his heart.
The journey of cultivating immortality is inherently lonely.
It is fate that we can meet each other. We will see each other in the morning and in the evening. As long as we get together, we will say goodbye one day.
With all the things in the world, the future is long.
Pei Xiangyun looked at his distracted profile and asked carefully.
"Brother-in-law, are you a monk from the sect?"
Zhao Huai stared at her and shook his head mockingly:
"Me? Just a casual person."
Next, Zhao Huai continued to pull Pei Xiangyun on the way home.
Along the way, people kept saying hello to him.
After living together for so many years, I always have some acquaintances.
After returning to Huaizi Pawnshop, it was already dusk.
"Why hasn't Madam come back yet?"
Zhao Huai frowned as he looked at the dark pawn shop.
At this moment, Pei Xiangyun exclaimed: "Brother-in-law, my sister wrote me a reply."
A myna flew over with a flutter, and there was a note at its feet.
"Um?"
When Zhao Huai heard this, he said without hesitation: "Show me."
Pei Xiangyun took out the note and handed it to him.
Zhao Huai couldn't wait to read it. He slowly stared at the contents of the letter and frowned.
Seeing his appearance, Pei Xiangyun felt nervous and asked quickly: "Brother-in-law?"
Zhao Huai stopped reading the letter, handed it back to the other party, and said calmly: "Well, your sister said that she is staying at a relative's house and will be back a few days late. She wants you to find some food outside."
"That's it." Pei Xiangyun nodded after hearing this, feeling slightly moved in his heart.
It seems that the negotiations are not going well.
If the father hadn't convinced his sister, he probably wouldn't have let her back.
My father has been planning this whole plan for a long time and will not let it go.
"Where did your sister get her uncle from?"
Zhao Huai asked further.
He remembered the information mentioned in the letter and mentioned this person.
A few words, but no other information.
Pei Xiangyun rolled his eyes and explained: "That's my dad. My dad and my sister's father have known each other for a long time. He has always regarded my sister as his niece. This time I haven't seen my sister for a long time, so I came to visit."
Zhao Huai nodded lightly, fed the goldfish with bait for a while, and then stood at the door of the pawn shop, watching the vendors closing their stalls on the street and the people coming and going.
He murmured: "It's strange, Fairy Yueqing is about to come back."
Qiu Yueqing said that he wanted to find out the security situation of the entire Jinzhou. A few hours had passed and it was time to return.
The top of Jinzhou.
Dusk slants to the west, sun sets to the east of the mountain, and the long sky is the same color, like amber.
The ancient walls are mottled. Looking down, there are only twos and threes of people walking on the official road, which is very sparse.
In the middle of the bluestone road on the city wall, stood a group of monks in black robes.
All of them were dressed in strange costumes and had sinister expressions.
But looking at the fairy-like woman in the blue dress in the sky, her face was solemn.
"This woman is so powerful."
"Yes, even though our Qishamen has mobilized so many people, we still can't eat her!"
Qiu Yueqing looked at the demon cultivators below and said calmly: "You guys want to get involved?"
I saw her waving gently.
The twelve transparent ice cones condensed by mana surrounding her body emitted a dazzling light.
"call out!"
The sound of breaking wind came.
In the blink of an eye, the ice pick penetrated the body of the demon cultivator, leaving a huge bloody hole in their body. They fell down weakly, and the life in their eyes disappeared.
After dealing with these guys, Qiu Yueqing's face finally became more relaxed, but more breath came from the distance.
It is visible from a distance.
Dark clouds were gathering, and gusts of demonic wind were howling, as if the dark clouds were pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it.
"They move so fast."
Qiu Yueqing narrowed her eyes slightly.
He took out the Wanli Communication Talisman from his sleeve and planned to report the matter to his master.
But not long after the messenger talisman flew out, it was crushed to pieces by an invisible force.
She looked stunned.
"This is."
The communication talisman can communicate thousands of miles, and even the powerful golden elixir cannot capture it. Apparently there is a mysterious existence shrouding this place.
Recalling her mission, Qiu Yueqing regained her composure, and a magic weapon in the shape of an ice crystal snow lotus appeared in her palm.
"town."
Qiu Yueqing held up the magic weapon in one hand, and at the same time used his jade finger as a sword, and gave a light drink.
The moment he finished reciting the magic formula, magic power splashed out and cold air spread all over the place.
In an instant, a blue barrier broke through the sky.
The phantom of the ice phoenix appeared behind Qiu Yueqing, and a terrifying cold current suddenly formed around him, adding another layer of strength to Jinzhou City's formation.
Tens of miles outside Jinzhou City, among the mountains and fields.
The puppet zombies walked in an extremely strange manner, with sharp fangs and twisted bodies, and the surface of their dark green skin was as hard as fine iron.
They were carrying a black sedan with strange humanoid patterns on its body.
A corner of the curtain was lifted, and a black-robed Taoist priest was sitting inside, holding a fly whisk.
At the same time, men in blood robes with blood wings on their backs were hanging in the air. Looking at them, there were quite a few.
Mana takes shape.
Only powerful foundation-building monks can compress the loose magic power in the body into the shape they want, and then wave it like an arm, which is also very convenient to use.
There is a huge boulder blocking the road ahead.
"Boohoo!"
Without saying a word, the blood wings behind him began to flow and gather. The original pair of dark red wings expanded into a big hand in the blink of an eye.
This big blood-red hand was filled with a fierce aura, as ferocious as a beast. The big hand clenched into a fist, raised high, and punched the boulder blocking the road.
"Boom!"
The sound came and the boulder suddenly shattered.
The man in the blood robe had no expression on his face. He looked at the bloody spirit rat in his hand, sniffed it, and released a ray of blood energy, pointing directly at Jinzhou City.
"Hahaha!"
Suddenly, a loud laugh came from the sky.
The figure disappeared, but the voice came first.
A large cloud of black energy came from the sky, and the ghost energy emanating from under the seat was extremely powerful, condensing into a large dark red ghost cloud.
A scribe wearing ink robes sat on top of the ghost cloud.
Under him, countless lonely ghosts were wailing and wailing, with their teeth and claws bared.
"The spirits of dead souls, Mr. Ghost Demon from Ghost Ridge, are here too. I wonder how many graves have been dug recently."
The Taoist priest in the sedan narrowed his eyes, looked towards the sky, and said to himself.
Yang Yuan, the top disciple of the Blood God Sect, looked at the sky and said calmly: "Everyone is here to find the ancestral artifact, so don't hurt your harmony."
On the ghost cloud, the ink-robed scribe took the wine offered by the deceased soul who sat down and said with an evil smile: "Of course I understand this truth, but if you don't call me, are you being a little unkind?"
Between the woods, green poisonous mist filled the sky silently. The branches, leaves and flowers passing by were all withered and dead, and the grass on the muddy ground turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A beauty with a snake-green gauze on her head stepped on the poisonous cloud and also gathered with the crowd.
"Hey, it's so lively."
The crisp and sweet laughter came, but no one was happy or welcoming. They all had cold faces and said nothing.
Obviously he doesn't want to see the situation develop like this.
Because there are too many people, they don't want too many people to know about the ancestral artifact.
"Poison Lady? Your Wan Du Cult actually came to join in the fun."
Yang Yuan was very surprised to see her figure.
The presence of the Wandu Sect is very low, and it is considered inconspicuous among the demon sect.
But today, even she arrived.
Where did these guys get their information?
Yang Yuan, who had always been cautious, had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Where did you get the news about the ancestral artifact?"
he asked curiously.
The speakers from several major demon sects were silent for a moment when they heard this.
Obviously they don't want to say it.
Yang Yuan was the first to speak: "The Blood God Sect observed the fluctuations in Great Yan's national destiny through the method of looking at Qi, and then the sect leader received reports from his disciples."
"It's a coincidence that I was also told by someone, but it was not a disciple, but someone else reported that traces of the ancestral artifact were found."
Yang Yuan stared around and found that everyone had similar expressions.
"About the same."
"Yeah, same."
Several people's explanations were very similar.
"It seems that the gathering of demon sects here today is no coincidence."
Yang Yuan frowned.
There must be someone behind this.
