"This Tongfu Chamber of Commerce is really arrogant and domineering. They are clearly trying to protect Gong Mi, but they still refuse to admit it. For example, they are telling lies with their eyes open."
Zhou Jiang said angrily.
Zhai Qingshan smiled helplessly: "Who knows that this family has a deep background? I heard that the Li family of Tianshu Palace is behind the Tongfu Chamber of Commerce, and some of the heads of the palaces also have stakes. They are confident, so they are so arrogant."
Bailiming thought deeply for a while, frowned and said in a deep voice: "This is a good idea for the Li family in Tianshu Palace. They use the Tongfu Chamber of Commerce to win over the heads of each palace, bundle their interests, divide and assimilate, and if this continues, each palace will have more and more say.
The lighter."
Zhai Qingshan was stunned when he heard this, then nodded in approval and said: "Fellow Taoist Baili can think of this step, it is really far-sighted, admire, admire, I think it is superficial."
Bai Liming hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Fellow Daoist Zhai is ridiculous. In the process of running the business, in order to open up key links, my father would share part of the profits to the other party. It was also inspired by this that I realized that the Li family in Tianshu Palace
I don’t dare to claim to be smart about the deep meaning behind it.”
Zhai Qingshan laughed, and did not dwell on this topic anymore. Instead, he asked: "Fellow Taoist Baili, what are your next plans? Why don't you stay in Tianquan Palace for a few days, and I will do my best as a landlord and invite you to appreciate the heaven."
Quan Fengfeng, chatting with you all around the fire at night, making tea and talking."
Bailiming said apologetically: "Thank you Daoist Zhai for your kindness. You still have official duties, so I don't dare to disturb you. Now that this matter is over, we are going to leave immediately and go to Baoshan Hunting Ground for training. We can only bother you next time.
.”
Zhai Qingshan did not force it. After all, he still wanted to bring Heishan back to Tianquan Palace for burial, and then hunt down the fleeing leopard-headed beast monster.
He then handed over a Qiankun bag, and seeing Bai Liming's puzzled expression, he explained: "This is the Qiankun bag from Black Mountain, and it is also a trophy for fellow Taoists. I don't dare to be greedy."
Bai Liming hurriedly declined and said: "Absolutely not. If Taoist Fellow Zhai hadn't taken action this time, several of us would have died long ago. We can't repay this life-saving grace. How dare we accept this Qiankun Bag again."
Yuan Chaoxi, Zuo Sisi, Zhou Jiang, and Lu Xiaoyao all also commented that they could not accept this Qiankun bag.
"Fellow Taoists, please don't be polite anymore. I am able to capture Black Mountain because of your credit. For this merit alone, Lord Xing will definitely reward me, so just keep this Qiankun Bag."
With that said, Zhai Qingshan threw the Qiankun bag to Baili Ming and immediately saluted:
"In this case, fellow Taoists, I will take the first step and hope that we can meet again if we are destined."
Bai Liming held the Qiankun bag and smiled helplessly as he looked at Zhai Qingshan's gracefully leaving figure.
The five of them didn't make any further stops before setting off again to the Baoshan Hunting Ground.
After galloping for most of the day, the sun set in the west, the sky was getting late, the sunset in the west gradually faded away, a few stars appeared on the sky, and the dark shadows of bats flew rustling among the trees.
Seeing a small village appearing in the mountain col ahead, Baili Ming and five people decided to stay here and set off again early tomorrow morning.
After knocking on a door at the edge of the village, an old voice came: "Who is it?"
Baili Ming politely replied: "Old man, we are travelers passing by. It's getting late and we would like to stay at your house for a night to rest our feet."
The old man inside the door was silent for a while and said: "You heroes, I'm really sorry. There is only one shabby room in the little old man's house, and there is no free room for you to live in. How about you guys go to other houses and ask?
"
Hearing this, Bai Liming had no choice but to say: "If you're disturbing me, let's go ask other families and say goodbye."
At this moment, Yuan Chaoxi stepped forward, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and under Bai Liming's confused gaze, said through a message: "There is a demonic aura."
As he spoke, he raised a small copper bell in his hand, which was the warning bell. It was emitting a faint light and swaying gently and rhythmically.
Bai Liming and Yuan Chaoxi looked at each other, and with a little force, he pushed open the trembling wooden door that was about to fall apart. He rushed to his father-in-law, who was slowly pacing and preparing to return to his room, and said in a deep voice.
:
"Old man, there is a monster hiding in your home, don't worry, I will protect you."
But he never thought that the old man grabbed Bai Liming's sleeve and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Big Zhuang, run, don't worry about dad, run!"
Just when Bai Liming was at a loss, the door of the thatched house opened, and a black shadow rushed towards him, but it was the escaped leopard monster.
With a roar, the leopard demon's bloody mouth was in front of him. At this moment, a burst of flames blocked it, and then several talismans bombarded him. Yuan Chaoxi, Zuo Sisi, Zhou Jiang, and Lu Xiaoyao arrived in time.
The leopard demon was in pain, rolled and flexibly avoided the attack of the talisman, and when he saw that there were so many people on the other side, he was about to jump up and escape from the small courtyard.
At this time, the old man who was holding Bai Liming's sleeve saw that the leopard demon was injured, so he threw Bai Liming away and wanted to rush over to protect the leopard demon.
Unexpectedly, due to old age and weak strength, he stumbled and fell to the ground. Seeing this, the leopard demon stopped trying to escape, flew to the old man and helped him up.
The old man said with great regret: "Don't worry about me, Dad, run away."
Before he finished speaking, several demon-binding ropes shot out, tightly wrapping around the leopard demon who had given up resistance.
When the old man saw this, he was horrified. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged tremblingly: "Several strong men, please be merciful. Please spare my son's life. Although he is a demon, he has never hurt anyone else. I beg you."
"
Bai Liming stepped forward to help his father-in-law up, but he refused and continued to beg and cry bitterly.
Yuan Chaoxi said warmly: "Old man, please get up. We promise you not to harm his life."
After hearing this, the father-in-law slowly stood up. When he saw his tied son, he wanted to reach out and untie the demon-binding rope.
"Old man, wait a minute, please tell me first what is going on? Why is your son a demon?" Zuo Sisi, who had come to the side of the leopard demon and took care of him, asked aloud.
"Oh, let me do the talking." The leopard demon had now transformed back into human form, but its ears were still the pointed ears of a leopard, and he said eloquently.
In fact, Bailiming and the other five people have already made a guess in their minds. It may be the same as what happened in Qianshan County, and it may be caused by some holy religion.
As expected, this leopard demon was originally an orphan, and was lost in the mountains and forests by his biological parents when he was born. Fortunately, the old man and his wife adopted him, pooped him every time, and carefully raised him up, treating him as his own.
He was also very filial when he grew up. He had been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child. When he saw that his adoptive mother was frail and sick and his family was not wealthy, he went out to the town to find a job and worked as a waiter in a restaurant.
Life was going smoothly at first, but his identity as a descendant of the demon clan was discovered, and he was kidnapped one night. Under the magic circle that turned him into a demon, he became a demon clan. Later, because he had always been honest, he became a demon clan.
He also lived near Tianquan Palace and knew the local situation, so he was sent to Tianquanfang City.
However, the homesickness became worse when I was near my hometown. In addition, I met a person from the same village and heard that my adoptive mother was depressed because of her disappearance. Her illness worsened and she had passed away long ago. The adoptive father's health at home was getting worse day by day, so he ran away from Fangshi.
After Da Zhuang finished speaking, he looked at Baili Ming and the others pleadingly and said: "Fellow immortal masters, I know that I cannot escape the pursuit of the Taoist clan and the demon clan. Can you please let me stay with my father for a few more days to fulfill my filial piety."
"Gong Mi and his gang are so abominable. For their own selfish interests, they transformed the demon clan's heritage into demons and ruined other people's families. Bai Liming, why don't we let him go?" General Zhou was furious.
, felt even more sympathetic to Da Zhuang, and asked.
Zuo Sisi shook his head and said: "No, no, of course we can let Da Zhuang go, but he is still facing the pursuit of Tianquan Palace and will be caught sooner or later. It is best to have a foolproof plan."
Lu Xiaoyao looked at Zuo Sisi with approval and said with red eyes: "That's true. They are so pitiful. We have to find a way to help him get out of trouble."
Hearing Lu Xiaoyao's words of praise, Zuo Sisi felt as if he had eaten honey and couldn't close his mouth with joy.
Zhou Jiang curled his lips, his heart was as sour as an overturned jealous jar, but his mind was turning over and over again, thinking of perfect strategies, hoping to win the game.
Yuan Chaoxi looked at Bailiming: "Baili, do you have any good ideas?"
Bailiming thought for a while: "I think we can notify Tianquan Palace to handle this matter."
"What?" Yuan Chaoxi, Zuo Sisi, Zhou Jiang, and Lu Xiaoyao said in unison, greatly confused.
When Da Zhuang and Lao Zhang heard this, they were shocked.
