The reason why Xu Dao took Su Jiu with him when he left the city was that he needed the help of a maid so as not to lose his identity, but in fact it was just in case.
Although he had made up his mind to plot against the dying golden elixir ghost and god in the Yaksha Sect, once he could not persuade the Taoist priests of the White Bone Temple to take action, no matter how much hope he had in his heart, he had to stop thinking about it.
At that time, it would be best for him not to return to Jiangcheng, but to stay away from whirlpools like Jiangzhou, or just watch from the sidelines.
Therefore, he brought Su Jiu out to prevent him from returning to Jiangcheng and putting Su Jiu in danger.
As for the Taoist disciple Chen Wan and the swordsman Lao Sha who are still in the city, on the one hand they can stay in the city and act as his eyes and ears, on the other hand their relationship with him is shallow and not worthy of his efforts. If something unexpected happens, just look
The other two have their own destiny.
Of course, he also vaguely reminded the other party a few times, and left some charms, money and food for the two of them.
After leaving Jiangcheng, Xu Dao flew with his sword. Although he was carrying one person, his speed did not slow down along the way and he did not need to stop to recover, which surprised the bat Taoist priest who was traveling with him.
It is said that although all foundation-building Taoist priests can use their magic power to float and walk, and most of them have also practiced special spells for flying, not all of them are good at flying, let alone flying thousands of miles.
The reason why the Bat Taoist Priest was selected by the Shezhao Taoist Priests is precisely because it is good at running. With its wings spread out, it can fly all day and night without falling to the ground. It consumes very little mana, so it is most suitable for being sent out for a walk.
It flapped its wings and hung on the zenith like a big rat in the air. It was moving at a leisurely speed. It turned to look at Xu Dao, who turned into a stream of light beside him, and his eyes flickered:
"This guy hasn't even reached the realm of foundation building. He just flew so far in one breath. Although he relied on the magic weapon in his hand, but now it seems that even if he lost the magic weapon in his hand, his magic power is still strong, which should not be underestimated.
watch for!"
Xu Dao didn't pay too much attention to the movements of the bat Taoist priest beside him. He just passed through the flowing clouds, his body was ethereal, and rushed to the White Bone Mountain quickly, so as not to slow down the two people's movements and risk the few who stayed in Jiangzhou City.
A Taoist priest was beaten and killed by the Yaksha Gate.
The two walked hand in hand, either in front or behind. The two to three thousand miles of mountain road that originally required more than a month of walking on the ground and was teeming with jackals, tigers, and leopards were easily passed by the two of them overnight.
I left Jiangzhou City at dusk and headed towards the boundary of Baigu Mountain.
Looking at the White Bone Mountains that appeared in their eyes, Xu Dao and Taoist Bat both slowed down in unison, stopped in mid-air, and looked towards the top of the mountain.
Xu Dao looked at this familiar mountain range with various emotions in his eyes.
He used to live in this mountain, but he felt that there were many snakes, insects and monsters in the mountain, and there were many dangers. The mountain was also so vast that he couldn't finish it in three days and three nights.
But now that he is back here and looking down from a high altitude, although the mountain shape is not small, in his eyes, it is only about the size of a house and cannot be considered towering.
Xu Dao still remembered that when he left this mountain, he was terrified and couldn't avoid it. Now that he came back, he was still vigilant, but the fear at the beginning was completely gone, and there was only a sense of excitement.
Su Jiu, who came with Xu Dao, noticed something strange about Xu Dao. She kept silent and looked around curiously. However, the bat Taoist priest on the side didn't understand and interrupted Xu Dao's thoughts.
Taoist Bat looked at Xu Dao's slightly dazed state and thought that Xu Dao was hesitant to go to worship the mountain immediately because of insufficient magic power.
It sneered in its mouth and said: "Thunder Messenger is exhausted, how many times do you want to rest?"
Disturbed by the bat Taoist priest, Xu Dao came back to his senses from his emotion. After hearing what the other party said clearly, he did not refuse, but chuckled and cupped his hands:
"That's exactly what I meant. I need to take a rest, lest I lose face in the Demon Dang Hall in front of my fellow Taoists at White Bone Temple."
In order to avoid standing high in the sky and attracting the prying eyes of the Bone Watcher, he nodded to the Bat Taoist Priest, then jumped down and fell into a pine forest.
Xu Dao immediately sat cross-legged on a huge stone, pinched the talisman money in his hand, and restored the magic power in his body. Su Jiu stood beside him with a whip to protect him.
The bat Taoist priest did not fall to the ground, and said through the message: "Thunder Messenger is resting well, I am going to inquire about the surrounding situation."
A hint of pride appeared in its eyes, and it continued to flap its wings and patrolled around the White Bone Mountain to show that it had sufficient mana.
After a few cups of tea, Xu Dao recovered the mana in his body, but he did not leave the pine forest immediately. Instead, he opened his eyes with a look of deep thought in his eyes.
After thinking for a moment, he finally stretched out his fingers and tapped his body several times.
I saw pieces of scales looming on the surface of his body, and auras of light began to flow, scattered here and there, but like a large formation falling on a chessboard, locking up all the real energy in his body, revealing a misty and illusory energy.
Returning to Baigu Mountain this time, although he had the idea of ​​returning to his hometown with honor, he wanted to reveal his identity and earn back his previous face in front of the Taoist priests at Baigu Temple.
But the temple is dangerous after all, and he came here pretending to be a demon envoy. If he was recognized as a disciple of the White Bone Temple, it would only cause trouble and hinder things.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Dao felt that it would be better for him to take it easy.
He uses the spells drawn on his scales to lock his energy and suppresses it with the cuttlefish sword. As long as he doesn't get into a fight with others, his true energy will not be exposed.
As for his face, he had always looked like a Taoist with a sallow face in Jiangzhou City, which was not his original appearance. Even if his facial features were somewhat similar to his original appearance, people who were not close to him would not recognize him.
The only doubt is that once the Taoist priests from the White Bone Temple are invited to rush to the Yaksha Gate station, and the fighting begins, their true qi will definitely be revealed. Taoists mostly use their true energy to identify their identities, and the Taoist priests from the White Bone Temple are extremely capable.
He might be recognized on the spot.
But at that time, all three parties were involved, so this matter was nothing. It might even bring him closer to the Taoist priest of Baigu Temple.
After handling these matters, Xu Dao was determined, and he just stepped out of the pine forest with Su Jiu in his hands, and flew thousands of feet into the sky with his sword.
Although the Bat Taoist priest was patrolling around, he always paid attention to the pine forest where he was. When he saw a figure emerging from it, he immediately flew back and shouted:
"Hurry up, hurry up, the messenger will have to wait for a while."
Xu Dao cupped his hands and secretly flattered him: "The poor Taoist's magic power is meager, but it is not as powerful as the Taoist Master. He can fly thousands of miles without losing a single bit."
Hearing his words, Taoist Bat's face showed a look of appreciation. He then spread his wings and flew straight towards the White Bone Mountain. His behavior was strange and agile, showing his ability to fly.
Xu Dao followed, and after half a cup of tea, the two of them were around White Bone Mountain.
A layer of gray mist shrouded the top of White Bone Mountain, as if wearing a wide hat. Before the Taoist priest in the mountain noticed the two of them, Xu Dao stepped out first, his body level with the top of the mountain.
He tossed his sleeves and robe, cupped his hands and shouted:
"I am a poor demon envoy from Jiangcheng who came to pay homage to the mountain. May I ask where the master of White Bone Temple is?"
Its roaring sound was so startling that the birds and beasts in the Bone Mountain were frightened and crows were everywhere.
