Qin Zhong thought for a while and explained: "I am a little disgusted with Li Xun. I did something irrational today, which made my junior sister laugh."
"I actually have quite a lot of flaws. Now I deliberately let go of the demon sect witch for someone I have an inexplicable dislike of. Junior sister doesn't think it's right either."
Lu Xueqi smiled gently and shook her head.
"Senior brother, you don't have to say that. The way you look now is more real."
At the beginning, I really didn't understand it.
After listening to Qin Zhong's explanation, Lu Xueqi felt that Qin Zhong's current appearance was more realistic and three-dimensional.
In this world, there are no perfect people, and no one treats everyone equally and with the same standards.
Although his attitude when facing the demonic witch just now was that he deliberately let her go because he hated Li Xun.
This is indeed an irrational and even irritable approach.
But this kind of senior brother is more real, a person with his own joys, angers, strengths and weaknesses.
Rather than a symbol, an existence that is untouchable.
After these brief contacts with Li Xun, Lu Xueqi also felt disgusted with him, but she didn't show it like Qin Chong.
Every time Li Xun looked at Lu Xueqi, Lu Xueqi felt unnatural. Although the gaze was vague, it could be seen that there were many different meanings.
In the past few years, Lu Xueqi has seen many people look at her with the same look as Li Xun.
Although Lu Xueqi has long been accustomed to being looked at by others like this and has never reacted, this does not mean that Lu Xueqi likes to be looked at by others like this. She just hides her dislike under her cold appearance.
Now seeing the direct reaction of senior brother, the way of reaction may be wrong, but Lu Xueqi is not unhappy, but feels that maybe this is good.
When I saw Lu Xueqi, I really didn’t have a bad opinion of myself because of what happened just now.
Qin Chong also felt relieved.
At the same time, thinking back to his performance just now, he realized that he really didn't do a good job. His act of letting go was too obvious. Not only Li Xun, but also Jin Ping'er must have noticed it.
There is no intrigue in my life these years, my whole person has changed.
I did something very unexpected to deceive my teammates. The operation was too unskilled and had many flaws.
Then Li Xun must hate himself to death now.
You must pay attention to this kind of thing in the future, and make up for it in the future, so as not to make it too obvious next time you encounter this kind of thing. Otherwise, when the time comes, others will see who you have an opinion about.
Now that you've come out, can you still hang out?
The two landed in a small town.
Walk towards the town.
The people in the town seemed to be busy with something, and they seemed to be in a hurry.
Qin Zhong and Lu Xueqi were just passing by to take a look at the local customs and had no intention of getting involved in everything.
No questions were asked.
Just move forward slowly like normal people.
This town is not big, and it is not on any major traffic road.
Therefore, there are no inns in the town, only two restaurants not far apart.
There were not many customers in either restaurant.
Qin Chong and the two entered the nearest restaurant, ordered some dishes, and prepared to continue on their way after eating, looking for a town with an inn to stay in before dark.
Not long after I sat down, I heard a lot of noise on the street.
People nearby gathered around.
Qin Chong and Qin Chong didn't like to watch the excitement, so they ignored it.
After the food was served, we started eating.
It's just that the noise on the street outside lasted for a while. Not only did it not subside, it actually got louder and louder.
The waiter at the hotel was also looking out at the door.
At first, he didn't want to pay attention to it, but the noise outside was getting louder and louder, which had already affected Qin Chong and the two of them.
"Xiao Er."
Qin Zhong greeted the waiter at the door and waved him over.
He asked the waiter: "What happened outside? Why hasn't it calmed down for so long?"
A little worry flashed across the waiter's face, and he explained to Qin Zhong: "Two guests, this matter is a bit long."
"Outside is an immortal who is practicing Taoism and has returned from injury."
Sighing: "The immortal also went to the black bamboo forest outside the town to kill the monster to help our town. But now, the monster failed to be killed, and the immortal returned injured, so the situation on the street is a bit chaotic now.
Please forgive me, my two guests."
Lu Xueqi and Qin Zhong both looked confused.
Are there monsters in such a remote town? There are monsters that can hurt people in the monastic life. This is a bit unusual.
It stands to reason that this is just an ordinary small town, and the nearby mountains are not deep mountains and old forests. It is a dangerous place. What kind of monster would settle nearby and hurt the ascetics?
As Qingyun disciples, Qin Chong and the two walked down the mountain. They could ignore ordinary mortal disputes, but when encountering such a thing, they still needed to take action.
Xiang Xiaoer asked: "Can you tell us the specific things?"
"If the two guests are interested, I will tell you."
The waiter said: "There is nothing special about our Black Bamboo Town. It's just that there are many black bamboos that grow locally."
"Originally, I have never heard of any monsters."
"But starting a year ago, the town began to lose some iron items from time to time."
"At the beginning, there were not many missing items and they were all scattered. At that time, no one paid much attention. They just thought that someone was secretly stealing and selling iron."
"Later, the situation gradually became serious and began to affect many people's farming and even their lives."
"Since then, the town has organized manpower to patrol day and night to catch the thieves who stole the iron and punish them severely."
"No one expected that a few months ago, the thief who stole the iron was finally found, but it was not an ordinary thief, but a huge wild bear with black and white all over its body."
"After discovering that it was a wild bear stealing iron, we took advantage of the large number of people and were not afraid at first. We just thought it was an ordinary wild bear, just bigger."
"Besides, it's useless to be afraid. We can't let it continue to steal iron."
"So, the town reorganized its manpower, laid traps, and prepared weapons."
"I thought that with all the preparations, let alone a wild bear, I could catch a few more bears. After all the preparations in the town, I could catch them."
"I didn't expect that it was really no ordinary wild bear, but a demon bear."
"That bear demon is stronger than steel and is not as strong as a sword or a gun. It is also extremely powerful and terrifying."
When Xiao Er said this, he had a look of horror on his face, as if he was present when he fought against the bear demon last time.
Thinking of the bear demon, his face turned a little pale, and he paused for a while before continuing to speak.
"That time, the people who went to capture the bear demon suffered heavy casualties. From then on, no one in the town dared to confront the bear demon again."
"But we can't just let the bear demon eat all the iron tools in the town. How can we live without the iron tools?"
"From then on, the town began to raise money, put up notices, and notified other towns, inviting capable people to come and eliminate the demon."
"In the past few months, there have been several waves of people coming in and out, including famous knights and immortals in the world of Taoism, but none of them defeated the bear demon."
"When you are lucky, you are just injured. If you are unlucky, you will never come back."
Pointing to the outside: "The Immortal Chief who just came back from the Black Bamboo Forest is said to be an Immortal from a large Immortal Cultivating Sect. He is more powerful than the previous ones. Unexpectedly, he also failed."
Sighing, the waiter looked a little depressed: "If this continues, it won't be long before we in Heizhu Town will have to relocate."
"The only consolation now is that the bear demon will not attack the people in the town. Otherwise, everyone would have moved away long ago."
"Senior brother."
Lu Xueqi looked at Qin Zhong.
The meaning is very obvious.
He nodded to Lu Xueqi: "There is a similar record of ancient alien species in the ancient book 'Divine Demons'. The iron-eating beast looks like a bear but is black and white, and it also eats copper and iron."
"I wonder if it's the bear demon that appeared nearby."
"Go outside and ask around."
"Um."
Lu Xueqi nodded.
The two of them thanked the waiter for the introduction and walked out.
When I arrived outside, I saw a young man wearing Taoist robes standing among the crowd on the street not far away.
The young man's face was a little pale, and his left arm was still stained with blood.
A large group of town residents gathered around.
There was an old man in front of the young Taoist priest, who seemed to be the mayor of the town.
The mayor was bowing to the young man and talking.
"Immortal, even an expert like you is helpless, so wouldn't there be no one who can deal with the bear demon?"
Although the young Taoist priest looked pale, he was still comforting the old mayor.
"This bear demon is indeed powerful, but there are many cultivators in the world. Don't worry, I will definitely beg my elders to punish this demon after I return to the master's door this time."
At the same time, he said to the noisy and uneasy people around him: "Don't worry, everyone. The failure today is just because of my shallow cultivation. The bear demon is not invincible. When I return to the master, I will definitely inform the master of what happened here.
Everyone endured for a few days, and when the situation collapsed, senior experts took action to restore everyone's safety."
Qin Chong looked at the situation and realized that the young Taoist priest had fought against the bear demon before and should know the situation very well, so he was ready to ask him about the situation in detail.
At this time, the young Taoist priest bowed his hands to everyone around him and said, "No need to give it away. Mayor, you don't need to give me this money either."
As he spoke, he blocked the mayor who was holding the money bag and was about to give it to the young man: "As agreed, I only received this money from everyone after I got rid of the bear demon. Now that I have been defeated by the bear demon, how can I still have the nerve to ask for it?"
"Everyone, please go back. I have already explained the previous situation to you in detail. The trail will leave now. Please bear with the bear demon for a few more days. The situation will improve by then."
As he spoke, he walked outside the town.
The old mayor and everyone around him expressed their gratitude to the young man, and at the same time, the crowd began to leave in twos and threes.
After no one was around the young Taoist priest anymore, Qin Chong and the others quickly followed him.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay."
Qin Zhong greeted.
When the young Taoist priest heard the sound, he turned around and saw a man and a woman standing behind him.
The man was wearing a gray gown and looked low-key, but he was handsome, smiling, and had a clean and elegant temperament.
The woman is wearing a long blue dress, her face is cold and beautiful, and she has an ancient and quiet fairy spirit.
Both of them have swords on their backs, and they look like knights walking in the rivers and lakes.
Judging from the look on their faces, they are both practicing Taoism.
The young Taoist priest quickly raised his hands and said, "I wonder what's going on with these two Taoist friends?"
"I really want to ask you something, how about we find a place to sit and talk slowly?"
The young Taoist priest thought for a while, nodded to Qin Dian and said, "Okay."
I returned to the hotel and found a seat by the window to sit down.
Qin Zhong asked: "Is the injury of fellow Taoist okay?"
The young Taoist priest smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, fellow Taoist, I'm sorry, it's just a minor injury. It'll be fine in a day or two."
As he spoke, he waved his left hand. Although the sleeve of his left hand was torn and stained with blood, it could be seen that it was only slightly scratched. After being bandaged, it did not have much impact.
The Taoist priest's face was pale, probably due to the fierce fighting, and his vitality was somewhat damaged. He could recover after a few days of practice.
Qin Dian nodded.
He bowed his hands to the young Taoist priest and said, "The two of us have passed by each other since then. I heard about the deeds of my Taoist friends and I admired them a lot."
"where."
The Taoist priest was a little embarrassed: "The strength of the Taoist priest is low and he is no match for the bear demon. What's so admirable about him?"
Qin Chong shook his head and said to the Taoist priest: "My fellow Taoist is willing to do things for the people of a small town. This in itself is worthy of admiration."
He added, "When my junior sister and I heard about this, we wanted to take action and go out to the bear demon outside the town. I wonder if you have any information that you can tell us."
After hearing Qin Zhong's explanation of his purpose, the young Taoist priest hesitated.
He looked at Qin Zhong solemnly and said: "Two fellow Taoists, Xiaodao understands what you think, and Xiaodao is here for this reason, but Xiaodao still advises you not to go looking for the bear demon."
I looked around and saw no one from the small town was nearby.
Then he continued: "At first, I thought it was just an ordinary bear demon, and I thought it would be a good idea to get rid of it casually."
"That bear demon is extraordinary. It is truly invulnerable, which makes it even more powerful."
"To be honest, I went up the trail to Black Bamboo Mountain and fought with the bear demon. I discovered that with my way, I can't even break through the bear demon's thick skin, let alone how to get rid of the harm?"
Seeing that Qin Chong and the others did not change their expressions at all because of his words.
The Taoist priest continued: "Perhaps the two Taoist friends think that Xiaodao's strength is too low, and they are dissatisfied with the two Taoist friends. Xiaodao's master is from the Taoist sect 'Liuyun Tao', and he is relatively well-known among his peers."
Qin Chong, the Liuyun Dao of this sect, has also heard that the sect is located in the east of the Middle Earth. There are not many people in the sect, but every disciple who can be accepted into the sect is a genius.
Among the countless sects in Middle-earth, the ranking is almost the same as that of Hunyuan Sect, but the difference in the number of sects is huge.
As one of the top sects among the three top sects, although it has not many disciples, it can be seen that its strength is definitely not low.
What's more, this young Taoist priest is still the best among his peers.
Such a person, even in the Qingyun Sect, would not be overwhelmed even if he thought about it.
With his strength as a comparison, we can also see how strong the bear demons outside the town are. When ordinary people hear what he said, they can understand the gap between themselves and the bear demons and leave voluntarily.
But the young Taoist priest did not expect that after Qin Chong and the two heard him declare his sect, their expressions still did not change much.
"It turns out to be a fellow Taoist from Liuyundao."
Qin Zhong bowed his hand to the Taoist priest again: "Come down again, Qin Zhong from Luoxia Peak of Qingyunmen. This is Junior Sister Lu Xueqi of Xiaozhu Peak. The two of us went down the mountain to practice, and we encountered this bear demon causing trouble, so we really can't ignore it.
.Please, fellow Taoist, please don’t refuse.”
"It turns out that these two are fellow Taoists from the Qingyun Sect."
The Taoist priest was taken aback and wanted to use his sect to make the other party retreat. However, he did not expect that the other party had a greater background than him.
This is really embarrassing.
The Taoist priest couldn't help but think.
He quickly stood up and said, "Xu Yangzi, the small path Liuyun Dao, has met two fellow Taoists."
