This martial arts conference will be held in Luoyang on the third day of March.
Seeing that there was still more than a month to go, Luoyang was just around the corner, and Hu Sandao and the others were not in a hurry.
Xiao Qing wanted to go quickly to see the grand scene of this martial arts competition.
"Don't worry, Miss Xiaoqing, several top-ranked masters in the world will come to this martial arts competition." Hu Sandao said with a smile. "Leader Wang is one of the top ten masters in the world."
"Is he as good as Su Taibai?" Xiao Qing asked.
"Su Jianxian, that's a human swordsman." Hu Sandao said with a smile.
These top ten masters were ranked by Qin Tiantai.
Only those who are at least as powerful as a Martial Saint can be on the list, but people like Su Taibai simply don't bother to be on the list.
"Oh." Xiao Qing glanced at Zhang Yange. "Master, is Dong Ping one of the top ten masters?"
"He said he was ranked eighth," Zhang Yange said.
Hu Sandao and the others naturally knew who Number 8 in the World was, but Zhang Yange's nonchalant attitude really surprised them.
"The three of you are about to arrive at the Soul Boy Compass, where my home will be.
If you three don't mind it, come and stay at my house for a few days." Ji Chao, the oldest swordsman, said.
The red-faced one is called Mei Xu.
The three of them are sworn brothers, and they are called the Three Heroes of Guanzhong in the world.
"Do you know Zhensanjiang Guanyun?" Xiaoqing said.
"I heard about Senior Guan's name," Ji Chao said seasonedly.
When asked like this, people are embarrassed to say that they have never heard of it.
Although Lao Guan is from Guanzhong, he has been living in Jiangnan these years.
Therefore, it seems normal that his fellow Guanzhong people have never heard of him.
Lingtong Pass is located between Luoyang and Guanzhong, and it can be said to be a battleground for military strategists. However, in recent years, the world has been peaceful, and Lingtong Pass has become an important commercial town.
The prosperity in Guanzhong is different from that in Jiangnan.
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were curious about everything they saw. Zhang Yange treated everyone to a meal of mutton in a basin. In the evening, Ji Chao held a banquet at his house and invited them.
The Ji family is considered wealthy in Lingtong Pass, and the Mei Xu family is not bad either.
Hu Sandao's family was very poor. If he hadn't met a famous teacher by chance, he would not have had the opportunity to meet Ji Chao and Mei Xu.
After dinner, Ji Chao wanted them to stay overnight, but it turned out that Zhang Yange had already booked an inn.
After coming out of Ji Chao's house, the three of them went directly back to the inn.
Mei Xu came to see them early the next morning, planning to take them to Lingtong Pass to play around.
"Where are Brother Ji and Brother Sandao?" Xiao Qing asked.
"The two of them are going to take care of something." Mei Xu said with a smile, but he didn't say what it was.
Mei Xu took them for a walk around Lingtong Mountain. When the three of them returned to the inn in the evening, Ji and Hu were still missing.
"What did the two of them do?" Xiaoqing couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Ji's relatives were infected with evil spirits. He and Lao Hu went to ask for Taoist Gongsun." Mei Xu did not hide it from them.
"Let's go! Let me see if I can help." Xiao Qing volunteered.
"Taoist Gongsun?" Zhang Yange raised his eyebrows and said.
Bai Suzhen also looked at him. The Taoist who helped Qin Zhong suppress the souls of those women was called Gongsun.
"Brother Ji said that I won't bother you with this little matter." Mei Xu said seriously.
Along the way, they had sincerely made friends with Zhang Yange and the others. They did not want to trouble Zhang Yange and the others because of this matter, making Zhang Yange think that they only made friends because they wanted something from each other.
"Brother Mei, we have gotten to know each other along the way. We know who you are, and I happen to know some methods of suppressing evil. If we can help, of course we are very willing." Zhang Yange said.
Hearing Zhang Yange say this completely dispelled Mei Xu's worries.
"Then I'll take you three to have a look." Mei Xu said, clasping her fists.
Ji Chao and the other three are very close to Xiao Qing and truly regard her as a younger sister. They find this girl's temperament very pleasing.
But most of all, Zhang Yange respects him from the bottom of his heart and does not dare to offend him in the slightest. Therefore, he does not dare to get too close.
They felt that Bai Suzhen had a special relationship with Zhang Yange and kept a polite distance from her.
Mei Xu took them directly to Ji Chao's relatives' house.
"The one who was possessed by the evil spirit was Ji Chao's uncle. After Brother Ji's parents passed away, this uncle was the only one left. So if something happens to his uncle, Brother Ji is more anxious than anyone else."
After listening to Mei Xu's words, Xiao Qing asked, "Who is that Taoist Gongsun?"
"Taoist Master Gongsun is very powerful. He practices Taoism at the Taoist temple on Lingtong Mountain. If anyone around here is infected with evil spirits, he can easily catch them." Mei Xu said with a smile.
Soon everyone arrived at Uncle Ji Chao's house.
His uncle looked richer than Ji Chao's family...
When everyone went in, they saw a Taoist priest with a celestial spirit setting up an altar and performing rituals.
Ji Chao supported his uncle, who was so weak that he was about to die after taking one breath.
"Retreat!" Taoist Master Gongsun stretched out his hand and a talisman burst into flames.
Uncle Ji Chao trembled all over, and then he sat up directly.
"I feel good!" Uncle Ji Chao gasped for air.
"Thank you, Master Gongsun!" Ji Chao saluted with clasped fists.
He asked someone to bring a piece of golden garlic, with seven or eight pieces of gold as big as a child's fist hanging on a red string.
This Ji family is really a big family.
After Taoist Master Gongsun declined, he reached out and took it. When he turned around and saw Zhang Yange and the others, he was stunned for a moment, especially when he saw Xiao Qing and Bai Suzhen.
"You are so shameless!" Xiaoqing cursed. "You raise your own ghost..."
"Monster, why don't you show your true colors quickly!" Taoist Priest Gongsun shouted angrily.
He directly took off the mahogany sword behind him.
Xiaoqing was naturally not used to him, and Taoist Gongsun immediately left his body.
"How did you get into trouble with these two snake monsters?" Three talismans appeared in his hand, and he asked Ji Chao and Mei Xu.
"evildoer?"
"I am a snake demon, but I don't raise little ghosts like you to harm people!" Xiao Qing said directly.
Ji Chao and the other three were frightened. They didn't expect Xiao Qing to be a demon!
Then everything along the way will be explained.
"Brother Ji, he raised the kid who harmed your uncle!" Xiao Qing said to Ji Chao, "I will help you get the money back."
"Donor Ji, your uncle behaved like this when this snake demon came! Don't you think there is something fishy in this?" Gongsun Taoist said calmly.
He is not afraid of Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen at all!
As for Zhang Yange...
A mere mortal, apart from good looks, what else can he do?
Neither Zhang Yange nor Bai Suzhen were in a hurry to express their opinions.
The two of them looked at Ji Chao. After a while, Ji Chao said to them, "Three of you! Ji has no offense to the three of you. Why do you want to harm my uncle?"
"You!" Xiao Qing didn't expect that Ji Chao didn't believe him.
"Why, just because he is a human! Do you believe him?" Xiaoqing did not expect such a result.
