After watching Bai Liming and Yuan Zhaoxi go away, General Zhou muttered in a low voice: "Yuan Chaoxi has a really strong character, and she doesn't give in to men. If someone were to be her Taoist companion in the future, for example, it would be like finding a mother."
, taking care of everything.”
Zuo Sisi laughed and said teasingly: "Brother Zhou, your words are not crude, but they go straight to the root. But after returning to the city, if you don't invite me to the embroidery building to listen to a song, I will definitely tell Yuan Chaoxi what you just said.
."
General Zhou was stunned when he heard this, and then put on a flattering look on his face: "No problem, no problem, as long as Brother Zuo keeps his mouth shut, I am willing to accompany you to listen to music."
Gong Mi on the side suddenly interjected: "Master Zhou Xian doesn't need to spend any money, just let the slave family make the arrangements. If you want to listen to the music, the slave family's voice is also unique in Qianshan County, and I will sing it specifically for you."
General Zhou looked stunned, then blushed and said, "No, no, no, I won't listen to the music. Brother Zuo and I were joking just now."
Zuo Sisi fanned the fire at the side and said, "Master Gong will sing it to you personally. Brother Zhou, don't refuse, hahahaha."
…
At this time, Bai Liming and Yuan Zhaoxi were following the traces of the demon group's retreat, thinking that the demon group would trick them into leaving false traces, making it difficult for them to find them.
Unexpectedly, after the group of demons withdrew from the valley, they were exhausted and did not hide their whereabouts. Instead, they left obvious traces. It seems that this raid left a huge psychological shadow on them.
Bai Liming and Yuan Zhaoxi soon caught up with the retreating group of monsters and followed them to the hiding place.
At this time, a group of demons gathered in the cave, no fewer than a hundred of them large and small. A beautiful young woman in the form of a three-tailed demon fox was hugging the thin fox beast and soothing her in a low voice.
Black Wing stepped forward and said: "Sister Xia, what should we do next?"
Su Xiaer was also a little at a loss: "I didn't expect those Taoist priests to be so treacherous. They would hide their whereabouts and sneak attack on us. The leader was imprisoned. Alas..."
But seeing the expectant looks of the demons, he remembered the tiger-headed demon's instructions, and pretended to be calm: "We must do our best to rescue the leader, Black Wing, you go and explore where the leader is being held, and we will discuss it again."
Black Wing clasped his fists to accept the order, flapped his wings and flew out of the cave.
Bai Liming and Yuan Chaoxi were hiding at the entrance of the cave to observe. Yuan Chaoxi was impatient and wanted to go out and fight, but Bai Liming stopped her.
The two retreated to a secret place, and Bai Liming sent a message: "In the battle just now, you and I consumed a lot of mana, and the monsters are so powerful that we can't fight them all. We should rest first, and then fight them again when the monsters relax."
Caught off guard."
Yuan Chaoxi thought for a while and agreed to Bai Liming's plan, and the two of them practiced separately to restore their magic power.
…
After Su Xiaer fed the little fox in her arms a few grains of dry grass, she saw that the little fox fell into a deep sleep peacefully. She felt much more at ease in her heart and fell asleep as she felt tired.
While she was in a daze, she suddenly heard a loud roar outside. Su Xiaer's heart tightened, she woke up and ran out of the stone room.
Seeing the dust and smoke rising outside the cave, he hurriedly asked the demon soldiers who were in a mess what happened. A little demon said tremblingly: "Commander Su, there seems to be a sneak attack outside. The incident happened suddenly. Everyone was about to go out to meet the enemy.
"
Su Xiaer's heart trembled: "You were discovered by those Taoist priests so soon?" She also wanted to rush out, but looking at the sleeping little fox beast in the stone room, after some hesitation, she decided to wait and see what happened.
Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel. Su Xiaer, who was wandering outside the stone room, suddenly saw a figure swooping down from the sky above the cave, with several talismans attacking, and she was in front of her in the blink of an eye.
Su Xiaer was horrified. Three fox tails shot out and covered her in front of her. The talisman hit the fox tails and stirred up bursts of smoke and dust. The cave was filled with sand and rocks.
When the dust settled, a young man in Tsing Yi who looked like a fairy came up to him. It was Baili Ming. With a flick of his wrist, a yellow light shot out, and the demon-binding rope shot out from his cuffs, wrapping around his body.
On Su Xiaer's body.
Su Xia'er screamed, her whole body glowed with red light, and the demon-binding rope flew away, and then three fox tails pierced towards Baili Ming like lightning.
Baili Ming dodged to avoid the fox tail's stab, then drew out his dagger and made a diagonal move. Thunder and lightning burst out from the blade, knocking Su Xia'er to the ground.
Su Xia'er's body slipped a few feet away, and electric currents swam around her body. She was paralyzed for a moment. She struggled to sit up and looked coldly at Baili Ming, who was approaching.
Although he felt some sympathy for the fox demon who loved his baby so much, Bai Liming still walked towards the fox demon firmly, raising the dagger in his hand high and triggering several thunder and lightning, which was about to chop it down on the head.
Suddenly, a thin little fox beast rushed out from the side, came to Baili Ming, kowtowed and knelt down.
Seeing this, Bai Liming stopped his movements, and the lightning current on the dagger flickered, but it was not triggered.
The little fox beast flashed its eyes full of pleading, and its green pupils were filled with tears. Seeing this scene, Bai Liming felt unbearable in his heart.
But when he heard the sound of fierce fighting outside the cave, he was also worried that something might happen if Yuan Chaoxi was trying to contain the demons alone. He knew that he could not be soft-hearted at this time and must fight quickly.
Then he became cruel and wanted to launch the final thunder blow.
At this moment, the little fox beast suddenly stammered and a green safety button fell to the ground.
Bailiming was stunned on the spot, looking at the familiar safety button, his heart was agitated. In the moment of doubt, the little fox beast twisted and turned into a human form. It was Wu Tong'er.
Wu Tong'er cried and threw herself on Su Xia'er, begging bitterly: "Brother, no! Don't kill my mother!"
Bai Liming's heart trembled, and he put away his dagger. Looking at Wu Tong'er with tears on his face, he asked doubtfully: "Tong'er, is that you?"
Wu Tong'er nodded slightly and said: "Brother, it's me, the Tong'er who was saved by you."
Although Bai Liming was surprised, the appearance of the person in front of him and the safe buckle couldn't be faked.
After suppressing the hesitation in my heart, I couldn't help but ask: "What on earth is going on?"
…
The fierce battle outside the cave has ended. The monsters are guarding the entrance of the cave in twos and threes, looking curiously into the cave from time to time.
In the mountain col cave, Baili Ming, Yuan Zhaoxi, Su Xia, Wu Tong'er, Hei Yi, two people and three demons were talking.
Yuan Chaoxi looked at Wu Tong'er in disbelief and asked: "Tong'er, are you saying that Tongfu helped Gong Mi cast an evil spell and turned you into a monster?"
Wu Tong'er nodded vigorously and hesitated to speak. After all, she was still young and didn't know how to explain further.
Su Xiaer smiled bitterly and said: "Master Yuan, I wonder if you know that some people in the human race have the blood of the demon clan, but this blood is very thin, and some will not show up in their lifetime. This group of people is also called the legacy of the demon clan.
."
Yuan Chaoxi nodded and said, "I have seen it in Taoist classics."
Bai Liming asked in confusion: "How can the human race have the blood of the demon race?"
Yuan Zhaoxi explained: "It's a long story. Ten thousand years ago, during the war between humans and demons, some demon clans supported the humans and united to fight against the demons. After defeating the demons, they were accepted by the humans. Then in order to integrate into the humans, they went to the Taoist sect.
Take the shape-changing elixir with the help of others to permanently maintain your human form."
"The Taoist sect was grateful for the help of the demon clan's legacy, and strictly prohibited the human race from discriminating and harming them, and treated them equally. Later, in the long years, they intermarried with the human race, and gradually the demon clan blood in their bodies became thinner and thinner.
, almost no different from the human race, and people in the secular world have gradually forgotten the existence of this group of people, and there are only records in Taoist classics."
Su Xiaer also added: "Master Yuan Xian is right. We are already a part of the human society and live peacefully. But I didn't expect that the Tongfu Gang has mastered an evil technique. Through the combination of elixirs and formations, we can
Inspire the demon blood in our bodies and turn us into demons again."
Bai Liming and Yuan Chaoxi heard this, looked at each other, and realized a question at the same time: "Is it because they are looking for dry grass?"
Su Xia'er sobbed: "Yes, their purpose is to use the demon clan's sensitive and unique sense of smell to help them find dry grass."
Yuan Chaoxi heard this and said angrily: "I didn't expect that the Tongfu Gang would use such vicious means to stimulate demon veins and turn people into demons for their own selfish interests."
Su Xiaer then cried and said: "We can become grass-seeking monsters and still survive. Those of the same race who are not good at seeking grass are either used as cattle and horses, or they are directly disemboweled to extract pills, and their flesh and bones are sold as spiritual materials to casual cultivators.
"
"Two immortal masters, we only attacked them secretly in order to rescue the trapped tribesmen. Moreover, every time we attacked, we did not kill them. We only used intimidation to kill them."
Bai Liming nodded and said: "We have some understanding of the attack. Su Xia, we still need to investigate carefully what you just said."
"As it should be, Immortal Master Baili, please save us for Tong'er's sake." Su Xia'er begged. Wu Tong'er also looked at Baili Ming with a look of hope.
Looking at Wu Tong'er's pitiful little face, Bai Liming said sadly: "Although justice is in people's hearts, people's hearts will not sympathize with you because you have become a demon clan."
"However, I think that no matter whether a person or a monster, as long as he has good intentions and does not do evil to others, he is a good person and a good monster. Moreover, if the Tongfu Gang really turns a person into a monster, such evil will not be tolerated in the world, and we will definitely deal with it impartially."
After saying that, Bai Liming and Yuan Chaoxi stood up and walked out of the cave.
Bailiming paused briefly and said, "In two days, ask Black Wing to contact me. I will tell you what to do next."
Su Xia'er and Hei Yi quickly knelt down and thanked them.
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Bai Liming's voice came again: "Since the Transformation Pill can solidify the human form, it is not impossible to transform into a human again. Su Xia, if this method is feasible, how would you choose?"
Su Xia'er was speechless for a moment, hesitant and unsure of how to answer. Bai Liming did not continue to press the question, but said calmly: "Please think about it carefully."
On the way back to Qianshan County, Bai Liming said to Yuan Zhaoxi: "This matter is not that simple. If it is just to find dry grass, the Tongfu Gang can go to the border to catch some beast monsters, why bother using evil methods?
To turn people into monsters.”
Yuan Chaoxi said thoughtfully: "That's true. Let's investigate clearly first and then make plans."
