The world is green, with clouds hanging high in the distance and birds chirping and flowers fragrant nearby.

The mountains and rivers are vast and beautiful, like a scroll spread out, some are bold and some are graceful, and all kinds of words are not enough to describe them.

However, in the eyes of the monks, this world is a different scene.

It was gray and exuding an aura of death, like a patient whose final day was approaching, and a little bit of inspiration was just a flashback.

"Lanruo Temple..."

Liao Wenjie stood under a crooked-necked tree, swiping his hand across the stone monument in front of him, looking at the ruined ancient temple, and recalling his experience of slaying demons, with a nostalgic smile on his lips.

"Speaking of which, why do trees always have crooked necks? Is it because I opened it the wrong way, or because black people don't have human rights?" Liao Wenjie turned his head and looked behind him, expressing his dissatisfaction with the location. He must arrange a straight tree for him next time.

There was no one in Lanruo Temple in front of him. He summoned a ball of starlight. After a moment, the golden-winged roc rose up and headed straight towards the capital.

The sonic boom cloud roared, followed by lightning and thunder, and the bombardment was fierce and violent, but it couldn't hit it.

Below, the ordinary people were dumbfounded, shocked by the strange appearance of thunder in the daytime, while the monks and demons were trembling with fear, wondering who might be able to overcome the disaster, and even dare to provoke the sky.

Once near the village near the river, a giant red and black python vomited messages, sniffed the human scent in the air, and became cold-blooded and restless, determined to have a good meal later.

At this moment, a series of explosions struck in the distance. The giant python looked up at the sky and saw a flash of golden light, followed by thunder.

The snake's eyes stood up into thin lines. The giant python was first shocked and then envious, and vowed that it would become such a powerful demon in the future.

If you don't accumulate steps, you won't be able to reach a thousand miles; if you don't accumulate small streams, you won't be able to reach a river or sea.

Thousands of years all begin with a single step. The giant python put away its jealousy and decided to be pragmatic. To become a great demon, it starts with eating enough.

boom!!

There was a loud noise, the mountains and forests trembled, and even the creek at the head of the village briefly reversed flow.

The villagers fled in panic. After seeing that nothing happened for a while, they plucked up the courage to look around and found a huge sunken palm print by the river, which contained a photo of a man-eating python.

Later, a small snake bone temple was built outside the village, built next to the palm print. Villagers worshiped it on one day every year, gradually forming a tradition.

…

On the outskirts of the capital, where muddy paths extend into the mountains, there is a solitary square Taoist temple surrounded by green trees and jungles.

The plaque is blank, the Taoist temple is nameless, inaccessible, and extremely deserted.

In the Sifang Taoist Temple, the bearded Yan Chixia sat cross-legged and meditated. When the sun set in the west, she got up and went to the well in the courtyard to fetch a bucket of water.

Snap.

There was a noise outside the courtyard wall. Yan Chixia threw down the bucket and looked with fierce eyes: "Who is this sneaky person? Don't you know where the door is?"

After saying that, he heard footsteps moving, and he actually headed towards the door.

Yan Chixia was quite speechless, snorted coldly and walked towards the door. After the other party knocked on the door three times, she reluctantly opened the door.

"Isn't it great to have friends from far away?"

Liao Wenjie held the wine and meat and said with a smile: "We haven't seen you for a long time, but Master Yan's temper is still so hot. If you don't welcome me, I will leave."

"Just leave, as if I care about you so much."

Yan Chixia's eyes flashed with joy, but there was disgust on her face: "We haven't seen each other for two years, and your kid has become much more handsome. Why, do you plan to use this face to come to the capital to make a living?"

"I have this idea. The doctor told me since I was a child that I have a bad gastrointestinal condition and I need to eat more soft food."

Liao Wenjie responded with a smile. It had been two years since we reunited after a long absence. Counting the time, he had only stayed in Green Snake and Jigong's world for about a year and a half. Two years was about the same.

But if you really want to calculate it this way, Uncle Jiu has only had one year, which is obviously not right.

Time flows at different speeds in different worlds, and there are no rules to be found. Liao Wenjie is no longer entangled. He shook the wine jar in his hand and unsealed a corner.

In an instant, the aroma of alcohol drifted away, and Yan Chixia's eyes immediately straightened.

"Since Master Yan doesn't welcome you, I won't disturb your old man's peace and leave now."

Liao Wenjie sighed and turned around to leave, but before he could turn halfway, Yan Chixia slapped him on the shoulder.

"Then... you're here. Let's have a meal before leaving, so as not to spread the word that I, Mr. Yan, did not treat guests well."

"Oh, Master Yan wants to treat me to dinner?"

"There are cold steamed buns. I bought them three days ago."

Yan Chixia took two deep breaths and continued: "You bring your own wine, food and cooked food. I'll heat up the steamed buns and we'll have just enough for a table."

"You call this a treat?"

"I call this informality."

"..."

…

"Good wine! So enjoyable!"

In the house, Yan Chixia tore off the seal of the wine jar and drank to her heart's content without even looking at it.

Feeling the slight heat in his belly, he let out a light sigh, turned his mental power inside his body, and was surprised to find that his magic power had actually improved.

Realizing that the wine was nothing special, Yan Chixia looked towards the mouth of the wine jar. She saw golden light and dots of stars, which seemed to be a scene of the sun, moon, universe in the pot. She immediately said in astonishment: "What kind of wine is this? Who made it?"

of?"

"I don't know, but a good wine will do the trick."

"That's right, it's just good wine."

Yan Chixia raised her eyebrows and asked, "Ajie, how much of this wine do you have?"

"Not much, as much as you want."

"I don't believe you just tell me. Prove it to me."

Yan Chixia took a deep look at Liao Wenjie, drained the wine jar completely, and then hooked her hand at Liao Wenjie, signaling him to prove that what she said was true.

Liao Wenjie smiled and said nothing. He took out a small red umbrella from his waist and took out two more jars and placed them on the table.

"It's really..."

Yan Chixia untied the sealing paper and didn't drink too much this time. She poured it into the bowl and savored it carefully. Then she grabbed a few slices of cooked beef and stuffed it into her mouth: "You kid, with such good wine to accompany you, you came to see me now. I'm afraid

It’s not that your cultivation level is already above mine.”

"Master Yan has good eyesight. I dare not say how much I have cultivated now, but I am definitely a little better than you."

Liao Wenjie stretched out his hand to gesture and raised his hand to touch the wine jar to pour himself a bowl, but Yan Chixia mercilessly slapped it away. The latter said that he only recognized the wine but not the person. The two jars were already named Yan.

You are a shameless person, you deserve to have some idiot use your name to mess around with you.

Will use it next time!

Liao Wenjie felt contempt in his heart, took out a jar from the red umbrella, and filled a bowl for himself.

When he entered the world, he found that it was the world of old friends, so he prepared a hundred empty altars and filled them with vomit one after another.

The true love and friendship even moved him.

"You said you were a little stronger than me, but I don't believe it. After this meal is finished, let's go to the backyard to show off."

After tasting the goodness of gold liquid wine, Yan Chixia deeply felt that Liao Wenjie was so lucky that he didn't have to do anything and could become stronger just by drinking, but she was still a little unconvinced.

As the best swordsman in the world, Yan Chixia kept her mouth shut and was as arrogant as anyone else. When she thought about the unskilled Taoist priest who followed him as a support two years ago, he was now better than his master, leaving him behind.

behind...

Why?

Yan Chixia groaned, eating and drinking from Liao Wenjie, but fortunately she didn't feel guilty and threatened to give him a good look.

Liao Wenjie saw this and felt inexplicable. If it were anyone else who didn't know what was going on, there would have been a few big guys trying to trick him into letting them know what the land gods were capable of. People like Yan Chixia and Jiu Shu were a different matter. He just liked to talk to them.

These people talk nonsense.

"By the way, Master Yan, I remember when we parted, you said you were going to Lanruo Temple to live in seclusion. Why did you end up in such a remote place?" After three rounds of drinking, Liao Wenjie asked when he saw Yan Chixia's face turning red and switching from fast drinking to slow drinking.

Got up.

"It was just a coincidence. I was confused at the time and didn't understand..."

Yan Chixia called out the bad luck and explained the reason.

Two years ago, he and Liao Wenjie joined forces to first kill the old Black Mountain demon, then the tree demon Grandma, and finally eliminate the centipede spirit Pudu Cihang who was causing trouble in Chao Gang.

Because the descendants of Pudu Cihang occupied the civil and military positions of the entire dynasty, Yan Chixia was worried, fearing that the emperor of the dynasty might be unprepared and cause chaos in the world, so she went to the capital to take a look.

Because of the recommendation of Fu Tianchou, the Minister of Rites, the Prince's Grand Master, and the high official of the dynasty, the emperor treated Yan Chixia with great courtesy and tried every means to keep him in the capital.

It's normal. The last great human being with the magical power to subjugate demons was Pudu Cihang. Although he was the incarnation of a demon, he did show the emperor what the power of a human god is.

These days, both the emperor's family and ordinary people have great respect for practitioners with high abilities. Pudu Cihang's position as national master is the best example.

As soon as he turned around, Pudu Cihang became a big devil and destroyed the civil and military officials of the dynasty. The emperor was angry and frightened, and could not sleep on the dragon bed.

Pudu Cihang became a national advisor not only because of his extremely high abilities, but also because of the emperor's helplessness in dealing with the evils of demons in the world.

Of course, it does not rule out that the emperor was wary of the monks causing trouble, fearing that when he woke up, he would still be there but his head would be gone.
