After leaving the fifth pass, which was the boundary of Xiqi, Liu Qiao and his two men descended from the clouds and mist, turned into wanderers, and took the main road to the west.
Liu Qiao put on a yellow fir collar and untied his bun, as if he were a traveling businessman.
Chang Long used illusion magic to restrain his green face and fangs, and transformed into a stout man with a lotus seed hoop, an open chest and belly, brown clothes and hemp shoes, and a tutu costume.
Of course, Chang Long's transformation is not a real transformation technique, but a fairy's attainment of Taoism. Anyone who has practiced Taoism for a hundred years, experienced the world of mortals, and seen popularity can gain some self-enlightenment.
Moreover, it can only transform into an appearance. With the help of magic power, the Qi Refiner can see through the true appearance at a glance, and the clothes must be replaced with real clothes.
After all, we are going out to the mountains to find opportunities. If the whole journey is cloudy and foggy, how can we meet strangers and find out about the treasures?
As for why you have to go through five levels before going to Yuntou, it is the territory of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. It is too complicated and chaotic, and there are robbers and bandits everywhere.
Although Liu Qiao and Liu Qiao were not afraid of these thieves who cut paths, they became quite bored after dealing with them too much.
Coupled with the five gates and locks, the Yin Shang territory had a strong royal aura and was thousands of miles away. There were few immortals and scholars who could not visit the Tao.
In addition, the population is densely populated, so even if there are some strange and exotic herbs, they are still picked by ordinary people. The world is so busy that it is difficult to find opportunities.
So I simply flew through the fog and flew thousands of miles away to the border of Xiqi in just one day.
"Master, Xiqi is vast. It is said that there are two hundred towns and princes. Each town may be dozens or hundreds of miles in radius. How can we find the master?" Chang Long said as he walked.
Liu Qiao frowned: "I am doing some divination. Your master is hiding in a place called Panxi outside Xiqi City. We will find out after we wander to Xiqi and do some research."
"With Master's Divine Number, I feel relieved, but..." Chang Long praised first.
Then he said doubtfully: "This place is still thousands of miles away from Xiqi City. Can't we just fly there directly? Why..."
In fact, Liu Qiao has no special lessons in divination. Although he has learned numerology from Jiang Shang, the art is so advanced that he is still half a bucket of water, and he is always a good person but not a good person.
Moreover, although Lao Jiangtou's magic power is not high, his Taoism is quite high and he can conceal the secrets of heaven. Even King Wen cannot calculate the innate number. With Liu Qiao's current Taoism, how can he figure out where Jiang Shang is.
It was just an estimate based on memory. When asked by Chang Long, it was difficult to explain clearly, so he just made a random excuse and said that he had calculated it himself.
Liu Qiao blushed quite a bit when he heard Chang Long's praise. Seeing his confusion, he said: "My magical weapon only has one restriction. We have to find some good graves along the way to collect some corpse energy."
There was another meaning that Liu Qiao didn't say clearly, which was that he wanted to find some evildoers, and after killing them, firstly, he would eliminate the harm, and secondly, he would use their bones to sacrifice and refine the technique of Nether God Vajra.
Just as he was talking, Liu Qiao paused.
Chang Long said angrily: "I just said that the Yin Shang Dynasty and the world are at peace, why are the flies here?"
Liu Qiao smiled and said: "Let's hide ourselves and go up to have a look..."
However, a loud shouting suddenly came from the front. Both of them were Qi refiners, and their ears and eyes were clear, so they could faintly hear it even though they were several miles apart.
A few miles away, two groups of people were arguing and fighting. Liu Qiao climbed up through the wind and fog to get closer and hid themselves in the clouds and mist on a high cliff to watch.
There was a wave of about several hundred people, led by a man in a green embroidered robe, dancing with a nine-ringed sword, and riding a yellow fat horse.
Leading hundreds of ragged men, some wearing helmets or wearing armor, they danced with sticks and rakes, whittled wood into soldiers, and used all kinds of weapons to surround another group of people in the mountains.
There were only thirty people in the other group. Most of them were neatly dressed, and they were all warriors with short skirts. Each of them was holding a sword, and they were guarding a few masters in brocade clothes, and their wives and maids.
"They are bandits again. We met more than a dozen of them along the way. Master, please wait a moment. I will go down and help them. Let these few thieves be punished!" Chang Long puffed out mist to cover his figure, and said
If you want to pull out the iron gun, go down and help.
Liu Qiao shook his head and stopped: "Don't meddle in your own business. Those thieves are just minions. What can I do about those strong servants? It's the man in green robe riding the yellow horse who looks extraordinary and seems to have some heroic spirit..."
But they are just ordinary thieves. They have no armor to protect themselves, no swords, guns or iron weapons. They only use some wooden sticks, bamboo forks and grass rakes.
Surrounded by dozens of strong servants, all of whom have some rudimentary martial arts skills and have all kinds of weapons in their hands, including swords, spears, halberds, bows, arrows, and armor, there is no guarantee that they will be defeated.
It's just that Liu Qiao and Jiang Shang had learned fortune-telling, and the man in green robe leading hundreds of thieves was extraordinary.
Not only does he have a face full of flesh, he is nine feet tall, has big shoulders and a round waist, and there is a faint flash of green light in his eyes.
Although they were hundreds of feet apart, how could he hide her from Liu Qiao's eyes? The last time he met her, Jiang Shang beat the woman to death in the street, but she turned out to be possessed by the Pipa Spirit.
The man in green robe also had this vision. Liu Qiao estimated that he was either practicing evil magic or possessed by a demon.
Because of the Pipa Master incident, Jiang Shang once told Liu Qiao:
For those who practice evil practices due to the Yin period, they will absorb the Yin evil ghost energy and cannot see the light. During the day, there will be visions of green light and fierce light in the eyes.
The demon's original form sheds its shell and attaches itself to the human body. It is also the case that the yin spirit suppresses the yang human body. The yin and yang are in balance. Even if the demon method is difficult to resist, there will always be strange things that are unintentionally revealed, or the eyes are blue, or the lips are white and colorless, or there are thorns.
Its flesh has no pain, etc.
The few masters in brocade robes surrounded in the middle may be merchants or nobles, and the dozens of servants surrounding them are all skilled in martial arts, and may use knives, spears, or twist bows and arrows.
Although there were only a few people, they killed the hundreds of mobs in an instant. They retreated and cowered in fear. They only dared to surround but did not dare to step forward.
Seeing this, the man in green robes on horseback said angrily: "Everyone got out of the way. We have been fighting for a long time. Even a few two-legged sheep can't be taken down. What a bunch of waste."
When the thieves heard this, they all laughed strangely and dodged away as if they had been granted amnesty.
The nobles in brocade clothes were just relieved when they saw the man in green robes, riding his horse and wielding his sword, like a dragon coming out of the gate and rushing into the formation.
A large ring knife weighs as much as a mountain and is extremely sharp. It can chop left and right, lift up and chop down. The "clang, clang, clang, clang" was blocked by weapons. Even the weapons and people were cut into two pieces. Those who were stabbed by spears were killed by that sword.
The man in green robe raised his knife and chopped it into pieces with his spear and head.
"This... is inhuman, run away..."
"Master, we have tried our best, please take care of yourself..." Several servants shouted in panic, then abandoned their weapons and equipment and ran away.
With such a heavy sword, you will die if you touch it, and your hands and feet will be cut off if you touch it. Although those servants have little martial arts, how can they see such brave people who are not like ordinary people?
After only resisting three or five attacks, the green-robed man rode into an uninhabited area and killed seven or eight people in a row, cutting them all into pieces. The brave servants were so frightened that they fought and were killed before they dispersed.
"Come back quickly, don't leave me..." The Jinyi master and several women and children, seeing the brave servants scattering, were so frightened that they lifted up their clothes and sleeves and wanted to run away too.
However, these nobles usually travel by donkeys and sedans. Now they were in a panic. After running a few steps, they stumbled and fell. The maids on the left and right hurriedly helped them up, and when they were about to run away, a group of thieves came forward and used bamboo forks to stop them.
The wooden stick struck him randomly and knocked him to the ground.
The man in green robe laughed loudly and said: "How can a few mortals escape from me, hahaha..."
He calmly hung the sword on the saddle, stretched out his sleeves, sprinkled a row of grass, vines and caltrops from his horse, recited a mantra, and blew out a breath: "Ji..."
"Huchacha..." There was a strange sound, and suddenly there was a strong wind, and there was a burst of flying sand and rocks.
When the wind and fog dissipate, the thatch and rattan will transform into jackals, wild dogs, or mandrills, ghosts and the like, whining and running wildly, chasing them all over the mountains and fields.
Those brave servants who ran first had not taken a few steps when they heard the whistling of the wind behind them. When they turned around, they were so frightened that they all fell to the ground tremblingly and were grabbed by the jackals.
Those who were brave enough to resist with swords were swarmed by the mandrills and caught.
"Bind them all, take them to the mountain..." The man in green robe waved his hand, and the crowd rushed forward, tied up all the servants, women and children, and surrounded the man in green, and walked happily towards the mountain.
Only those jackals, wild dogs, mandrills and wood ghosts stayed in place, and disappeared after a gust of wind and sand blew by.
If you look closely, you will see that there is nothing else there. There are only a few grass and mustard plants that have been blown aside by the wind.
Liu Qiao and his two men emerged from the Thuja clouds and mist.
Chang Long muttered: "It seems like a heretic. Why didn't Master let me take action just now? Now it's fine. All those mortals have been captured. If we go to save them, we have to climb cliffs and ridges, climb mountains and rivers. It's not troublesome."
If we don’t save him, it will go against my teaching style..."
"If you don't understand the demon's methods and rush to fight them, you are not killing demons, but killing people. All rightists have weird magic tricks. If you are not careful, you and my master and disciples will be killed." Liu Qiao said in a deep voice.
replied.
Seeing that Chang Long was silent, he added: "Besides, the demon's magic is a type of psychic transformation. Such magic is extremely rare. He definitely didn't realize it by himself. I'm afraid there is a big monster behind him who taught it secretly.
"
"Then master means that we just pretend we didn't see it and ignore this matter?" Chang Long didn't care about this. He was not afraid of anything but trouble.
Liu Qiao was also a little unsure, thinking to himself that if there was only one demon, even if he knew how to change it, there would be nothing to worry about.
Even though the green-robed man has terrifying martial arts skills and superb swordsmanship, Chang Long's supernatural power is not something to be trifled with. Master and apprentice can work together to catch him, first to eliminate the harm, and secondly to see if there is a chance to obtain this spell.
But I have some concerns, fearing that the monster is not one person, but like the Seven Monsters of Meishan, forming a party, each with its own methods.
Or if there is a master who can teach them, Liu Qiao and Liu Qiao are alone and attack rashly, but they will be like meat buns beating dogs.
Seeing Liu Qiao deep in thought, Chang Long couldn't help but urge: "Master, if we have to hurry, let's hurry up. The sun will set soon. If we walk a few dozen miles, we might be able to find a hotel to stay, so we don't have to sleep in the open air."
"If you want to eliminate the demon atmosphere and explore the base of the demon people, that group of bandits has crawled into the mountain and is about to go far away. It may be too late to catch up with them now. If it is later, the mountains are high and the forests are dense.
Found their traces.”
"Let's go, bring some clouds and mist over here, let's follow them hidden in the air, and find their lair first..."
Liu Qiao finally made a decision. It was not in line with his style of doing things to refuse to save him.
Just now, the man in green robe slashed left and right, chopping up seven or eight people in a row. Liu Qiao was afraid that he would not know the details, so he held back and felt a little guilty.
People who practice Buddhism have a clear mind and see their nature. If they don't encounter it, they'll let it go. If they encounter it, they won't care. They avoid everything and only care about their own affairs. How can they be regarded as immortals?
Even if the demon has great magical powers, as long as he finds his lair, he can try to see if there is a chance to rescue the mortals he kidnapped first at night.
Even if you can't defeat him, you should have no problem escaping, and then you'll find a way to bring in reinforcements.
