Early spring morning.
There were clouds and mist, and a drizzle of rain.
Qin Luo and the others were walking on the field ridge in the rain. The terraces on both sides were filled with green rice. The breeze blew through, stirring up green waves. There were many small fish in the rice fields.
Chu Peiran walked at the front, "I heard that rice field fish is very delicious. Have you tried it?"
"No."
"The young monk doesn't eat meat."
Chu Peiran smiled and joked: "There is no fear of changes in the sky, and there is no law of the ancestors. You can eat what you want, and drink what you want."
Qin Luo thought of the meat-and-wine monk and echoed: "The meat and wine passed through the intestines and remained in the heart of the Buddha."
"The young monk doesn't dare."
Guichen smiled and shook his head.
Knew they were joking.
Chu Peiran suddenly stopped, and there was a little tabby cat lying on a field not far away. It stared at the rice field intently, and suddenly reached out and picked up a small carp.
"Meow~"
The little cat took the fish and left happily.
Qin Luo and the others followed the little cat. There were many earthen houses in the mountains not far away, with smoke rising from the roofs.
"smell good."
Qin Luo smelled a familiar fragrance.
He came to the earthen house near the terraced fields and asked with a smile: "Auntie, can you exchange some wild vegetable dumplings?"
"Taoist Priest, you are here at the right time. A pot of wild vegetable dumplings has just been steamed. You can eat whatever you want." The middle-aged woman in simple clothes smiled warmly.
The middle-aged woman brought out the steaming wild vegetable dumplings and said, "You guys can take some more and eat them on the road."
"Auntie, you are so kind."
"Thank you donor."
Chu Peiran and Guichen picked up the wild vegetable dumplings one after another. After Qin Luo picked up the wild vegetable dumplings, he took out a handful of coins and said with a smile: "Auntie, is this money enough?"
"No need."
"Auntie, take it."
After some refusal, the middle-aged woman smiled and shook her head, "Taoist Priest, just give me three copper coins."
"It's causing trouble for auntie."
"No trouble."
"I wish you a bumper harvest this year!"
"Thank you, Taoist Priest!"
Qin Luo and the others ate wild vegetable dumplings while walking, and Chu Peiran smiled happily, "Brother Tao, I am right to follow you, I can actually eat such delicious food."
"It seems like you're not really traveling on a budget."
"Hahaha, I was discovered."
Guichen only ate half of the wild vegetable dumpling. He put the remaining half into the golden bowl and fed it to the pig demon.
They traveled over mountains and ridges.
Qin Luo admired the scenery along the way.
Chu Peiran was holding a sage's book. When he saw the rise, he would recite two sentences loudly.
After the rain, the sky clears up.
The air in the mountains is fresh.
A beautiful rainbow hangs not far away.
Near noon, a harsh wolf howl came. Qin Luo turned around and saw a huge black wolf leaping out of the woods. Its eyes were red with murderous intent.
"Evil beast, seeking death!"
Chu Peiran's eyes narrowed slightly, he closed the book, the long sword on the book box was released, and a golden sword light slashed out. The black wolf was struck by the sword light and fell in a pool of blood on the spot.
Qin Luo looked at the black wolf who was about to close his eyes. His eyes were still fierce and he was not afraid at all.
Ordinary gods would tremble with fear when they saw Qin Luo and the others, but the lowly black wolf in front of him was not afraid at all when he saw them. Qin Luo saw a wisp of evil energy on the black wolf, "There is something unclean on this black wolf. "
Guichen nodded and said seriously: "This is the breath of the demons. There should be demons nearby."
Chu Peiran took out the map and said, "There is a mountain in the east called Feng Mo Mountain. It should be related to that mountain."
"Let's go over and take a look."
"OK!"
When they approached Demon Sealing Mountain, many bloodthirsty and violent monsters appeared in the mountain. Chu Peiran suggested: "There are monsters running rampant around here. Why don't we divide our troops into three groups and clean up the monsters nearby."
"good idea."
"The young monk agrees."
Chu Peiran went to the left, Gui Chen went to the right, and Qin Luo walked in the middle. They agreed to meet behind the Feng Mo Mountain.
Just as Guichen was not far away, a big red snake sprang out from the woods. He raised the golden bowl, and the Buddha's light shone on the big snake. The originally violent snake became docile, and the big snake turned and ran away.
Chu Peiran held a long sword, and a group of wolf demons covered in blood rushed towards him. As the golden sword light slashed out, the wolf demons fell into a pool of blood one after another.
Qin Luo did not encounter a monster, but he met a girl in black in the forest.
The girl was carrying a bamboo basket, and she was gathering herbs under the tree. Qin Luo didn't dare to be careless. There were monsters and beasts around. It was definitely not easy for the girl in front of him to dare to gather herbs here.
Qin Luo noticed the ferocious red mask hanging on the girl's waist. The evil ghost mask was not a mortal thing.
The girl noticed someone approaching, she turned to look at Qin Luo, her red eyes alert, "Who is it?"
"Dragon and Tiger Temple, Qin Luo."
Qin Luo smiled and nodded.
The girl in black stood up. She did not feel threatened. After putting the freshly picked herbs into the bamboo basket, she bowed and said, "My name is Jiang Li. What are you doing here, Taoist Master?"
Qin Luo smiled and answered truthfully: "There are demons running rampant nearby, so I came to take a look."
Jiang Li shook his head and sighed softly. She pointed to the Sealing Demon Mountain, "The ancient demons are suppressed there. Because of the loosening of the seal, the nearby creatures are eroded."
"I have a way to strengthen the seal."
"real?"
Qin Luo nodded.
Jiang Li looked at Qin Luo's clear eyes, as clear as the lake in her dream, and felt that he was particularly kind. He nodded and smiled softly, "Taoist Master, please come with me."
Qin Luo noticed Jiang Li's red eyes, "Miss Jiang, have you always lived near the Demon Sealing Mountain?"
"Yes, my duty is to guard this place." Jiang Li smiled slightly, looking very relaxed.
Qin Luo did not sense any spiritual fluctuations in Jiang Li's body. Instead, the evil ghost mask around her waist contained powerful power, which was very ancient.
There is a very tall wooden building in front of Feng Mo Mountain.
"Jiang Li!"
"Who asked you to bring him here!"
In front of the wooden building, the sound of vicissitudes of life rang out, and an old woman walked over with a cane. Her sunken eye sockets were like black holes, and her eyes were gloomy, "Taoist priests are not welcome here!"
Jiang Li pursed his lips, lowered his head and said, "Mother-in-law, he may be able to strengthen the seal of the ancient formation."
Qin Luo's expression was calm, and he bowed slightly, "Senior, demons are rampant nearby. If the seal here is not strengthened, it may lead to greater disasters."
"hehe."
"It's not you who caused it."
The old woman seemed to dislike the Taoist priest very much.
Qin Luo didn't know why, but he was smiling and his attitude was still respectful, "Senior, please give me a chance."
Jiang Li raised his head and said seriously with a pretty face: "Mother-in-law, why not let Daoist Qin try it."
Seeing Qin Luo's sincere attitude, the old woman warned him sternly: "Little Taoist priest, you'd better not play tricks."
"Junior understands."
Qin Luo smiled and nodded.
Behind the wooden building, there was a passage to the interior of Demon Sealing Mountain. Both sides of the passage were inlaid with luminous gems. Qin Luo followed Jiang Li to the red ancient formation.
There was blood mist lingering on the formation platform, and Jiang Li frowned, "Taoist Master, this formation won't last long."
Qin Luo looked at the cracked formation stones on the ground. There were complicated golden lines on them. He had never seen them before. "This should not be a formation arranged by immortal cultivators."
The old woman said coldly: "Of course not, this is the sealing formation arranged by the gods. Do you understand?"
"can't read."
Qin Luo answered truthfully.
Hearing this, Jiang Li was a little disappointed, and the old woman couldn't help but mocked: "Fortunately, I don't have any hope for you."
Qin Luo didn't pay attention. He stepped forward, and the time around him rippled. The cracked formation stones began to heal, and the dim golden divine patterns gradually returned to their former glory.
The old woman noticed that the seal here was being restored, and her body trembled unconsciously, "This is time going back!"
Jiang Li didn't know what Qin Luo was doing, but she could feel that the formation here was getting stronger.
Time rewind is usually very short, but Qin Luo can easily fiddle with time. The old woman's body is shaking, and she can't help but want to kneel down. This is something that the Supreme God can do.
Boom!
Sealing Demon Mountain shook.
The sealed ancient demon noticed something strange and wanted to break free. As the formation continued to retrace its steps, the trapped ancient demon's efforts were in vain, and the Sealed Demon Mountain returned to calm.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Luo restored the ancient formation here to its peak state. He turned to look at the old woman and asked with a smile: "Senior, are you satisfied?"
The old woman looked embarrassed. She bowed and saluted, "It's because I am blind and can't see the mountains. My fellow Taoist's method of controlling time is something that not even the true immortals in heaven can do."
"Thank you, Taoist Master Qin!"
Jiang Li smiled from ear to ear.
"Farewell!"
Qin Luo was ready to leave this place.
The old woman came back to her senses. She looked nervous and said hurriedly, "Fellow Taoist, please wait a moment."
"Senior, I wonder if there is anything else you can do?"
"Jiang Li, sacrifice to Wu."
Hearing the old woman's instructions, Jiang Li put on the mask around her waist. She let out a painful roar. The mask melted into her flesh and blood, her hair turned red, and her black clothes turned into a blood-red dance skirt. She stood on the stage and danced gracefully. Dance.
This scene is a little weird.
Qin Luo didn't understand what she was doing.
"Miko?"
Chu Peiran appeared next to Qin Luo, followed closely by Gui Chen. They saw the movement in Feng Mo Mountain, so they came over.
Qin Luo looked at Chu Peiran and said softly: "Brother Chu, do you know what she is doing?"
Chu Peiran guessed: "It is said that witches can dance to the gods and communicate with heaven. I don't know if it is true or not?"
Jiang Li's body suddenly froze.
There was a hazy light in her eyes.
