If I use an idiom to describe Liangzhou, it would be that it is surrounded by mountains, with high mountains and deep valleys. There are also large rivers in between, and there are many dangers.
Even though the mountains were broken and several official roads and plank roads were opened during the founding of the Zhou dynasty, the road to Liangzhou was still difficult to navigate.
In addition, the Great Master established a religion in Wushan, Liangzhou, and promised that all monsters and ghosts who recite his name can join him, which resulted in the number of demon cultivators, ghost cultivators, and demon cultivators in Liangzhou.
If there is an incident, one can imagine the situation in Liangzhou.
Yongzhou and Liangzhou were the two most unstable places in the Zhou Dynasty.
The former has many rebels, while the latter is the first choice for all kinds of monsters and monsters to hide. The traitor Zhou Mingyun that Jiang Li was chasing at the beginning was intended to enter Liangzhou to escape the pursuit of the sect disciples.
It can be said that there may be monsters hiding everywhere in Liangzhou. The more remote the place, the more monsters have built their nests.
Just like now——
In the dense mountain forest, a large, eye-catching white-fronted insect was paddling its limbs rapidly, running in a hurry.
There were still mottled blood stains on his body, and a tiger head vividly showed a panic expression.
The torn clothes around his waist showed the identity of this big insect - a demon cultivator.
A demon cultivator who manifests a demonic form.
As the demon cultivator ran wildly, he would turn his head and look behind him from time to time. When he saw a red shadow approaching, he couldn't help but curse: "Damn, that dog is still chasing me."
Since five days ago, dead and wounded monks have often appeared on the border of Liangzhou, which is close to other states, and they are all monsters.
It is said that a cultivator who specializes in killing demons and ghosts has appeared nearby, causing people to panic.
However, for this tiger demon, demons and ghosts die miserably every day in Liangzhou. It is not surprising that there would be large-scale casualties on any day.
Practitioners of other categories fight because of profit and hatred. Generally speaking, there are few who kill just for the sake of killing. But for the categories of monsters and monsters, due to the influence of Tao and Fruit, their animal nature and demonic nature will change with the interpretation.
There are countless demon cultivators who continue to grow, gradually change their character, and become insane.
Not to mention, they also have a way to deduce that eating people can lead to spiritual advancement.
Eating ordinary people is eating, eating practitioners is eating, eating other practitioners is eating, and eating demons and ghosts is also eating.
Fighting is the daily life of most demon cultivators.
Then something happened to this tiger demon.
While he was eating human flesh and humming a song, a vicious dog came knocking on the door. The demon cultivator under his grasp was easily bitten to death, and even he himself was chased away for several miles.
Seeing the red shadow getting closer and closer, the tiger demon was even more shocked. He gritted his teeth and burned his essence and blood, and his hair oozed blood.
His speed increased again, and the tiger's body turned into a blurry afterimage, bringing up a violent wind.
The sound of rushing water came from ahead, the woods were left behind, and the vision suddenly opened up.
In the canyon between the two mountains, the turbid current was rolling and turbulent. The tiger demon ran out of the forest, exerted force on its hind legs, and jumped suddenly. Amidst the roaring wind, the cliff on the other side was approaching towards the tiger demon.
At the same time, he also saw a figure sitting in a wheelchair on the cliff.
Dressed in white, a green jade hairpin was simply inserted into her hair, her long black hair was parted in the middle, two strands of hair were dotted with pale hair, her skin was crystal clear, and she exuded an almost divine aura.
Just by looking at his appearance, you can tell that he is an extraordinary person.
If it were in the past, when the tiger demon saw such a pretentious person, he would definitely avoid it as much as possible so as to avoid trouble. However, now he is a tiger in mid-air with no way out. Even if he knows that the other person is not a mortal, he has to bump into him.
.
"Get away!"
He roared loudly, and the evil wind swept across, further arousing the evil spirit of the grain, burning the essence and blood, trying to force the opponent to retreat.
On the cliff in front, a vast Qi machine emerged, and all of a sudden eight Qi came out at the same time, rushing up to the sky like eight dragons, crossing a mysterious trajectory and hitting the tiger demon at the same time.
The Yuan Qi is changing all the time, and the eight Qi are intertwined, and suddenly there are countless changes and derivation.
The tiger demon suddenly froze, like a stone statue, losing its spirituality, and could only follow the inertia and pounce down from the air.
His body gradually disintegrated like weathering and turned into countless pieces of powder. Before it even hit the ground, it had already disappeared and was blown by the wind into the water flow below.
"Eight Qi meet each other, one Qi transforms all qi, one Qi refines all things..."
Jiang Li gently raised his hand, withdrew the eight strands of Yuan Qi that was turning around, rubbed his fingers, and whispered: "It's still a lot worse."
It has been almost half a month since he initially refined the Shennong Cauldron. During this time, he has been studying the Eight Qi through the Shennong Cauldron, and has realized the basic four Qi of wind, wood, fire and gold. The other four Qi are also getting better and better.
Profound.
Therefore, Jiang Li began to think about studying the secret of Yuan Qi in the Shennong Cauldron that refines all things.
However, this kind of evolution is so profound and unusual that even if Jiang Li has the blessing of various Taoist fruits and is the best in all aspects of understanding, qualifications, etc., it is still difficult for him to fully understand it in just half a month.
I have tried hundreds of consumables one after another, but I still haven't found the true meaning.
It seems that the tiger demon has been refined, but in fact it is better to say that the tiger demon was turned into powder by violence.
"We have to continue." Jiang Li whispered.
The red shadow on the opposite side flashed across a long distance, and appeared in front of Jiang Li's feet as if teleporting, revealing the figure of a red puppy.
Its speed was more than ten times faster than when it was chasing the tiger demon before.
During this period of time, Xiao Tian basically went outside to find supplies, either arresting or forcing them, and sent them here so that Jiang Li could test the method and perform the Tao Fruit.
Although his interpretation of Daoguo doesn't look very decent...
"Well done, Xiaotian."
Jiang Li leaned down, smiled and touched the dog's head.
Xiaotian let out a comfortable whine, his tail swayed, and his pair of scarlet eyes showed a proud look.
After so many days of hunting, its status in the owner's heart has been greatly improved. Can that ghost cow head do it?
It's time to let the latecomer know who has the final say under Jiang Li.
However--
Before Xiaotian could be happy for more than three breaths, a stream of Yin Qi quickly approached.
The figure of Niu Tou appeared in the Yin Qi. As soon as he appeared, he knelt down on one knee with a bang and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Xiao Niu has found the trace of Li Qinglian."
Xiaotian's tail paused.
It narrowed its scarlet eyes and glanced towards the bull's head, with the danger threatening to explode.
Niutou was also vaguely aware of this, knowing that the dog was being petty again. But what could he do? He couldn't just do things well just to take care of the dog, right?
This is something ordered by the Lord. Of course, the sooner the better.
"Have you found it? Lead the way." Jiang Li nodded.
During this time, Li Qinglian was looking for famous swordsmen to challenge him, and he became quite famous.
Especially after someone took the blame, Li Qinglian's reputation was like a raging fire, and it was out of control.
He killed the fourth prince, assassinated the second prince, killed Cui Jue, the fifth-rank judge of the Yin Law Department, and defeated the judge Zhong Wuqi. A series of achievements were piled on his head, so that his reputation was even higher than that of Jiang Li.
This fame was followed by an extremely intense pursuit.
The Yin Law Department was frantically chasing Li Qinglian, saying that they needed to get back the book of life and death. They pursued him from the vicinity of Shendu to Yuzhou, forcing people like Li Qinglian not to move to Liangzhou, but the Yin Law Department still pursued him endlessly.
.
It was obvious that King You should have known that the book of life and death was not lost, but he still pursued him like this, which made Jiang Li quite puzzled.
Although there is a possibility of pretending to be acting, looking at this state, it doesn't look like acting at all.
However, this also made it easier for Jiang Li to track him.
Due to the pursuit of Yin Lusi, Li Qinglian's whereabouts are not as difficult to trace as in the past. Even Niu Tou, a traitor of Yin Lusi, can determine Li Qinglian's direction by searching for Yin Qi.
'And such traces can also be found in the Tao Te Sect.'
······
······
The dangerous road winds up the mountain, with steep cliffs on one side and cliffs that drop thousands of feet on the other side. The mountain wind blows up, bringing up the dust. While the eyes are charming, it will also at some point become a way to send people off the mountain.
Help.
A young Taoist was walking on a dangerous road with a long sword on his back and a whisk in his arm. As he walked, his five fingers moved the Qi machine, and wisps of Yin Qi were drawn to him, pointing him the way.
"The denser the yin energy is, it seems that Senior Brother Li is undoubtedly going in this direction." Zhang Daoyi murmured.
Although Li Qinglian has declared independence, the Tao Te Sect still cannot ignore him. After all, he is the incarnation of the sect leader. Whether it is opposition or protection, the Tao Tao Sect cannot let him be taken down by the Yin Law Division.
When Li Qinglian came to Liangzhou, people from the Taoist Sect would naturally come to Liangzhou as well.
only······
"I thought it would be some senior Taoist sect who would take action, but I didn't expect it would be a Taoist friend."
The wheelchair came slowly from the other side of the dangerous road. Jiang Li sat on it and said with a smile: "We meet again, Fellow Daoist Zhang, but I don't know this time, are you and I enemies? Or friends?"
