Yu Yao laughed and said: "The Great Hermit is hiding in the city. It turns out that Taiyi Sect had this idea too!"
"Heroes see the same thing. The mortal world is the best place to hide. It's a pity that you are tall, outstanding in appearance, and too eye-catching to hide. People like Kang Ping are the most suitable. Look at him. He has been lurking in Tieling Town for two or three years and has never been discovered by the Kunlun Sect. If Teng Li hadn't exposed his flaws this time, who would have paid attention to him!"
Yu Yao lowered her head and thought for a moment before agreeing with his statement.
"Teng Li hurriedly headed in the direction of Chixia Valley after leaving the town. He must have come from Chixia Valley as well. He and Kang Ping quarreled, most likely saying that you and I were hiding in the middle of the mountain and were being eaten by corpses. The vine demon found out and Yu Jian escaped. We met Kang Ping in the inn. He couldn't turn a blind eye. He will definitely come to find out our details around tonight."
"What are you going to do?"
"The current plan is to either leave Tieling Town and avoid the limelight, or take action first and capture him first."
Yu Yao made up her mind without much hesitation, "Then let's do it."
It was the first time that Wei Shiqi saw her being so decisive. Thinking of her life experience, they could understand her mood. However, they knew nothing about Kang Ping. Apart from having three slaves who could control the corpse-eating vine demon, they didn't know much about him. No matter what level of cultivation you have reached, and what magical tools or treasures you have with you, if you act in a hurry, you will inevitably make mistakes.
"If Teng Yuan, Teng Zhen and Teng Li are all here, we can only retreat. Those three corpse-eating vine monsters have already awakened and become spirits. It will be difficult to deal with them."
"They are not ordinary corpse-eating vine monsters. They can speak intelligently and should be promoted to monster generals." Yu Yao glanced at him, knowing that he knew very little about the details of the monster clan, and explained a few words casually, "Monster cultivation If you are successful, you will be promoted to Demon General, and above Demon General, there will be even more powerful Demon Commander, Demon King."
Wei Shiqi shook his head, obviously not optimistic about the situation. He mused: "In a close fight, I can hold him back for a moment, but do you have the powerful means to hit him hard in one fell swoop?"
Yu Yao said: "I'll use the Burning Heart Art to strike with all my strength. Even if he can block it, his energy will be severely damaged. It's best if we can capture him. If we don't cooperate, you can take me to escape with my sword."
Wei Shiqi remembered that she defeated the corpse-eating vine demon in one fell swoop. The power of the short-handled wild goose sickle was astonishing. However, the powerful blow exhausted her true energy, and she fell into a coma after that, with no ability to protect herself. .
Yu Yao saw that he seemed to be hesitant and said: "Many years have passed since the tragedy of annihilation of the Qizhen Mountain family. Although the world is huge, there are not many insiders left. I would like to ask Kang Ping why the Taiyi Sect committed a murderous attack. "She tried to calm down, but her voice couldn't help but tremble.
There has been no clue for so many years, and the road to revenge is so elusive. The culprit Chu Tianyou is an unreachable peak. In her entire life, she may not have the chance to stand in front of him and seek justice with her blood and life. Kang Ping's appearance made her see Hopefully, having the opportunity to punish the accomplices will also somewhat ease her unforgettable hatred.
"Help me!" She raised her head and stared expectantly at the man she had chosen.
Wei Shiqi weighed the strength of both sides, and he had a calculation in his mind, and suggested: "How about we set up a trap to assassinate him, miss a single blow, and escape completely?"
Yu Yao felt happy and asked: "How to do it?"
Wei Shiqi leaned into her ear and whispered a few words. Yu Yao nodded. The two left the guest room, asked the shopkeeper about the nearby monuments, left the inn and headed west to Tieling Town.
In the afternoon, the cicadas were noisy, and the inn was deserted. The waiter was drowsy with his head propped up on his head, and the yellow dog lay in the shade of the tree with his tongue out, silent. Kang Ping jumped into the inn from the back wall, holding three talismans in his hands. He was fully alert and walked step by step to the front of Tianzi No. 2 room. He listened for a long time, but saw no movement. He glanced through the crack of the window and saw that the room was empty. The man and woman seemed to have gone out and had not returned.
He was a little disappointed. After thinking about it, he put away the talisman and walked around to the counter. He said hello to the shopkeeper and quietly handed him a wooden box. The shopkeeper took it in his hand, weighed it, opened a crack and took a look, and saw that it was a precious bitter tea plant. He hurriedly closed it, smiled happily, and carefully put it into the cash box.
Kang Ping pretended to be casual and said, "Hey, that new couple is so mysterious. What is their background?"
The shopkeeper was in a good mood and lowered his voice and said: "People in the martial arts world either elope or avoid revenge when they come to Tieling Town. Let me tell you, with my old eyes, I can't make a mistake. Look at that man, he is tall and powerful. , with such generous spending, one could tell that she was a member of aristocratic family, and then look at the woman, tall and tall, with a heroic face, that figure, that appearance, tsk tsk, she must be a famous chivalrous woman in the world, compared to those who have never left the door. I don’t know how much stronger you are than a young lady..."
"They only want one room?" Kang Ping interrupted him.
"Yeah, so it's an elopement. Hey, it's as good as honey mixed with oil. That man is very lucky!"
"Where are the people? Hiding in the room in broad daylight?"
"They went into the room to gather together for a while, then went out again. They also inquired about Pudu Temple in detail, like they went to burn incense and kowtow, and followed you in front and back."
Pudu Temple is a historic site in Tieling Town, located next to the mass graveyard in the west of the town. The mass graveyard was originally a place where the townspeople buried corpses. Over time, ghosts lingered around it, and it became a place known far and wide for great evil. Fortunately, there were eminent monks from Pudu Temple who took over the place, sculpted the Buddha's golden body, built a stupa, chanted sutras, and saved the souls of the dead. To gain peace and quiet, the incense in the temple is strong. Residents in the town, regardless of men, women, old or young, rich or poor, high or low, always go to Pudu Temple to offer incense and pray for the Buddha's blessings on the first and half of the first lunar month.
When he first arrived in Tieling Town, Kang Ping went to Pudu Temple to check it out, but was disappointed. The cemetery is high and dry, with the wind behind it and facing the sun. There are no ghosts at all. There are only about a dozen fat-headed monks in Pudu Temple. They are sanctimonious and have no spiritual practice at all. It is estimated that they are the "ghosts lingering in this dangerous place". Made up a trick to extort money and materials.
"Cemetery, Pudu Temple, hey, it's really a good place to make money and kill people!" Kang Ping made up his mind to catch the two fish that slipped through the net, and the man was made into a vine demon, and the woman was taken as a forbidden wife.
Back then, he rushed to Tieling Town to lay out the layout according to the decree of his master. He suffered from hunger in this rough and windy Western Region. The woman's figure and appearance were so attractive. If he could abolish her cultivation and bring her into his house, it would not be in vain for him for several years. Running around and working hard... Thinking of this, Kang Ping's heart became hot.
He took big strides and walked all the way out of Tieling Town and went straight to the mass graveyard. Looking from a distance, Pudu Temple was located on the hills, with dense pines and cypress trees behind it. The mountain wind whined, as sharp as a sword, and the black clouds Pressed extremely low, seeing a storm approaching.
Kang Ping quickened his pace, stepped into Pudu Temple before the storm, dropped incense money, and walked around the temple in order to pay his respects, but never found the whereabouts of the two of them. He felt vaguely cheated and described the appearance of the man and woman to the monks on duty. Sure enough, no one had seen it.
He was a little frustrated and guessed that the two people must have noticed something. They asked the shopkeeper that Pudu Temple was just trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain. In fact, they had left Tieling Town long ago.
Outside the mountain gate, thunder rumbled and heavy rain poured down.
