Money in the heavens

After a brief dizziness, Meng Qi found himself in the dark night, with a cold and sharp wind, as if it were in the wilderness. There was a large ruins on the left, stretching and wide, like a burned Taoist temple, because there were still many charred temples standing.

"Where is this?"

Meng Qi looked at Zhao Heng. He had been to this world before and might be aware of the current environment.

Zhao Heng looked around and pointed at a main hall among the ruins:

"There is light coming out there. There should be someone there. Let's go and ask."

He thought about the team's strength. As long as they didn't encounter the extremely innocent demon and joined forces, they wouldn't be afraid of any demon general. Therefore, Yi Gaoren was bold and decided to go directly.

If the extremely innocent demon were here, I would have sensed its overwhelming demonic power a long time ago!

"good."

Meng Qi made eye contact with Jiang Zhiwei and the others, and there was no objection. If you want to destroy the passage to the demon world within a month, time is very tight. After all, the eight demons who are in trouble may not stay together. They are so far apart that it will take a long time just to travel.

The difficulty of this mission may be time!

In the main hall, many people from all walks of life gathered. They were roughly divided into three teams, each with a leader.

One of them was wearing a Taoist robe, with ancient facial features and sparse white hair. He looked around at the crowd and said solemnly:

"I don't know where the Iron Demon got the news. The reason why they are so powerful but can't get rid of us is because there are still three things in the world that suppress the righteous destiny, and there is one hidden in the ruins of Changchun Temple, which is Gao It’s a real relic. He secretly contacted the three demons and came all the way to destroy this thing.”

"Fortunately for heaven, many demon-possessed people just endured the humiliation and still had a right heart, and revealed the matter to the old Taoist. In order to get ahead of the four demons, the old Taoist only had time to contact Mrs. Tong, the 'Thunderbolt Sword Fairy', the ancestor of the 'Eight-Finger Divine Palm' Sir, there is still a big gap between joining forces with the Four Demons."

"The high-level relics are hidden in the temple. The old Taoist doesn't know their whereabouts. They have to search slowly to find them. The four demons can stop them at any time. The danger is extremely dangerous. You heroes, it's not too late to withdraw now."

The Taoist priest, who looked clumsy in appearance, roughly explained the reason for the incident again, but did not encourage everyone to stay because of the righteousness of the world.

Behind him were several Taoist priests, both male and female, who seemed to be following him.

The leaders of the other two groups of people were a middle-aged woman in palace attire and an old man in a black robe. They were Tong Yao, the "Thunderbolt Sword Immortal" and Zu Wenzhong, the "Eight-finger Palm" as the Taoist said.

Tong Yao looks ordinary, but has a formidable aura. She carries a green leather sword and says categorically:

"We have retreated many times, and if we retreat again today, I am afraid there will be no way out or a chance to turn around. None of the disciples in our sect are willing to serve the devil with their own bodies, so they should fight here to the death."

"Although the seven-foot sword in my hand is not as good as Taoist Baizhang and you 'Three Sages of Savior', with the determination to die, I can still make the devil suffer a lot."

As she spoke, her aura was strong, and the surrounding aura was vibrating, as if there were countless sharp swords ready to strike.

Under her influence, most of the disciples behind her, who were mostly women but few men, also showed generous expressions. Only a few were slightly trembling and did not dare to raise their heads, but they also did not dare to withdraw outright.

That Taoist with a clumsy appearance is one of the few remaining righteous masters, Taoist Baizhang, who "moves the world with energy". Together with another monk and a layman, he is also known as the "Three Saviors". Comparable to a powerful demon, he sighed and said:

"We are not afraid of death, but my friends are in their prime. If you don't want to, don't force it. Maybe in the future, there will be knights among them who can defeat the extremely innocent demon."

Zu Wenzhong put his hands behind his back, looked at his disciples, friends, and several casual cultivators who came after hearing the news, and said in a deep voice:

"You can decide whether to leave or not."

They all decided to come after knowing the news. Although they couldn't help but feel a little scared, they still said generously:

"The paradise has fallen, and China has fallen, and how can we just live in peace?"

A young man dressed as a Taoist was also standing among the casual cultivators. Although he was dressed as a Taoist, he was fatter and wore gold and silver. He looked more like a rich second generation.

He is none other than Qian Duoduo, a casual cultivator who has risen recently!

And his other identity is Shang Yi's alter ego in this world, and it is also Shang Yi's first Shang Dao alter ego.

At this time, Qian Duoduo was hiding among the casual cultivators and was inconspicuous. In the eyes of others, he looked more like a fledgling upstart.

Taoist Baizhang's face straightened:

"In this case, the old Taoist has the audacity to give orders, and also asks Mrs. Tong, Mr. Ancestor, and the old Taoist to stand guard outside to guard against the sneak attack of the four demons. If they arrive, stop them and find the relics or delay the evacuation for all the children. ”

"Everyone will search separately in Changchun Temple to find the high-level relics. It should be a three-legged ancient tripod."

"good."

Tong Yao immediately agreed.

One of her disciples worried:

"Master, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for the three of you to face the four demons. How about we divide our forces and form a formation to fight?"

Before they finished speaking, they heard a long laugh:

"How can we miss Zhao in such a matter?"

I saw a young man coming in at the door with his hands behind his back. He was dressed in black with dark red, and wore a gorgeous long sword on his waist. He had handsome features and a noble temperament.

There were four people following him, two men and two women. The women were extremely beautiful and had outstanding temperament, while the men were either carefree or calm, both of them were extraordinary.

Taoist Baizhang blurted out:

"'Earthshaking' Zhao Donor?"

This is a rising star who became famous all over the world a few years ago. He is only one step away from being able to compete with himself and others. With his help, his hopes will greatly increase!

Zhao Heng has a bad reputation in this world. Hearing this, he smiled and said:

"Senior Baizhang, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"

So it's "earth-shaking"? The people in the martial arts world whispered to each other, and the tension in their hearts was relieved a little. With the help of this master, they should be able to hold off the four demons for a long time.

Taoist Baizhang looked at Meng Qi and others behind Zhao Heng and smiled:

"Mr. Zhao has not been in the martial arts world for many years. I thought you were harmed by the devil."

Zhao Heng's face was serious:

"The eight demons are in chaos, and the lives of the people are gone. The righteous path is withering. Zhao has no choice but to go overseas to find helpers."

He turned around and pointed at Jiang Zhiwei, Meng Qi and others:

"These four are the peerless masters that Zhao invited from overseas!"

Peerless masters? The heroes looked at Meng Qi, Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu, and they couldn't believe it and couldn't accept it.

When Zhao Heng made a great name for himself, some people also thought he was too young and incredible. But now, three of his so-called peerless masters seem to be younger than him! Much younger!

Qi Zhengyan was fine, he was already 23 or 24 years old, and he looked mature and steady. It was easier for people to accept that he was a peerless master. However, Meng Qi and Jiang Zhiwei looked younger than Zhao Heng even though they were relatively mature. Ruan Yushu had fair skin, a beautiful face, and a bit of childishness. She looked like a girl who had not yet reached adulthood. If she was a peerless master, would they be living dogs at such an old age?

So the first reaction of normal people was that it was absurd, unacceptable, and unbelievable.

Zhao Heng had the demeanor of singing the songs of the mountains and rivers, with a noble and restrained aura, and only a little arrogance and a light reserve of noble birth that a young master could not have. He introduced in a very Jianghu style:

"This is Senior Baizhang, one of the five sects in the world back then, and now one of the 'Three Sages of Saving the World', a half-step outer scene."

The division of martial arts realms in this world was the same as that in the main world, only the honorific titles were different. For example, with the strength of Taoist Baizhang, he could never get the title of Grandmaster in the main world.

Then Zhao Heng introduced Meng Qi and the other four people one after another. Because he was worried that there were reincarnations in this world, he changed each person's title and did not introduce his name.

So there were "Flying Fairy with a Sword" Jiang Nvxia, "Sword to Control All Directions" Su Shaoxia, "Miraculous Hands of the Zither Fairy" Ruan Xiaoxia, and "Sword of Gods and Demons" Qi Shaoxia.

Baizhang Taoist also introduced "Thunderbolt Sword Fairy" and "Eight-Finger Divine Palm" to Meng Qi and others, and said at the end:

"Time is tight, so let's not exchange pleasantries. I will briefly explain the situation of the four demons. It was the Iron Demon who found out the whereabouts of the "Zhenyun Ding". In order to win the credit, he did not report it to the Jitian Zhenmo, and secretly invited three other friendly demons to join forces, namely the Corpse Demon, the Fire Demon, and the Soldier Demon."

The seven great demon generals all had their own nicknames and names before the demonic energy was infused into their bodies, but now they have become half-human and half-demon beings, and the people in the martial arts world simply refer to them by their characteristics to save trouble.

"Among the four demons, the strongest are the Corpse Demon and the Fire Demon, who are almost as strong as the old Taoist. The next is the Soldier Demon, and the next is the Iron Demon. You must not be careless."

After briefly telling Meng Qi and others about the information, Taoist Baizhang coughed and said, "The four demons are always insidious and cruel. They may attack from any direction. In order to protect the righteous men who are searching for the Zhenyun Ding, the eight of us are divided into four groups, each guarding one side. Once we encounter them, we will use different fireworks to connect with each other."

Different fireworks represent different demons, such as red is the Corpse Demon, purple is the Fire Demon, green is the Soldier Demon, and blue is the Iron Demon. Whoever attacks a demon will send a corresponding signal.

There were only three people before, and it seemed stretched and extremely dangerous to guard separately. Now there are five more fresh forces, and Taoist Baizhang breathed a sigh of relief.

But he didn't take it lightly. What if this is a demon-possessed person?

Therefore, he smiled and said, "Donor Zhao, we are old acquaintances. Why don't we guard the east together?"

This is to put the person who looks like the leader among the five opponents within his sight.

Zhao Heng understood the concerns of Baizhang Taoist, and said with a bow: "It is what I wish, I dare not ask."

Baizhang Taoist smiled with satisfaction: "Madam Tong, you and Mr. Zu have been friends for many years, and you have a tacit understanding. How about guarding the south together?"

He put Tong Yao and Zu Wenzhong together, mainly because he was worried that if they were separated to form a team with Meng Qi and others, they would be easily betrayed and attacked, and the few remaining masters of the righteous way would be damaged.

Tong Yao and Zu Wenzhong were experienced in the martial arts world, and their expressions did not change. They agreed.

"The four of you are friends, and you should know how to cooperate better than the old Taoist. You decide for yourselves." Baizhang Taoist breathed a sigh of relief and did not force Meng Qi and others to arrange.

Meng Qi communicated with Jiang Zhiwei and others through telepathy for a few breaths, and said loudly: "The two girls guard the north, and I and Senior Brother Qi will go west."

"Okay, there is no time to lose, everyone please search as soon as possible." Baizhang Taoist walked out of the hall first.

When leaving, Ruan Yushu glanced at Qian Duoduo inconspicuously. It was not because she was interested in him, but because the black bird on his shoulder seemed to be attracted by him, which made Ruan Yushu keep a watchful eye.

She knew Shang Yi's methods well, and naturally knew that Shang Yi had the ability to transform the heavens and the self. It was precisely because of such methods that he dared to say that the black bird could be found even if it was lost in the reincarnation world.

Since this person could attract the attention of the black bird, perhaps he was Shang Yi's self in this reincarnation world.

······

Jiang Zhiwei stood outside the ruins with a sword in her arms, like a sword stuck in place. Ruan Yushu sat cross-legged under the wall, pressing the Qifengqin with both hands, as if brewing emotions, or resting with eyes closed.

Qian Duoduo followed behind the crowd, throwing an inconspicuous copper coin in his hand.

All of this was discovered by Ruan Yushu, who was observing with the help of Xuanniao's vision, which made her mouth slightly curled up and her heart felt very warm.

Why didn't she know at this time that Shang Yi's real body could not follow, so she not only asked the treasure weapon black bird to follow the guardian, but also secretly asked him and me after enlightenment to come to help her complete the task smoothly, although this was suspected of cheating , but how can you not be happy when you are cared for and taken care of like this! ?

Suddenly, fireworks burst out. Jiang Zhiwei immediately turned around, intending to help Meng Qi and the others. Ruan Yushu was also ready to pick up the guqin.

At this moment, figures approached one after another. They were either rickety or mutilated, with different postures, but they were all covered in blood, glowing with a trace of demonic aura, and their eyes were full of killing intent.

Silks of demonic energy gathered together, floating like a dark cloud.

"Sister Zhiwei, I'll stay here to prevent the monsters from rushing in. You go and help them." Ruan Yushu put his hand on the Qifeng Qin again.

Jiang Zhiwei understood that Ruan Yushu had an advantage over her against the weaker enemies all over the mountains and plains. Meng Qi once teased her in private, saying that she was a "weapon of mass destruction", and even if another demon came, as long as it was not an extremely innocent demon, with her strength , he can also get his own support, and besides, the two demons from the half-step location have appeared.

What's more, Ruan Yushu has the treasure weapon Xuanniao by his side. Once it is used, it is not afraid of the extremely innocent demon. It is just to avoid the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation from cheating the opponent, so it is easy not to use power beyond their strength.

After all, the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation has a very good record in this regard.

"Okay." Jiang Zhiwei was not a wordy person. She immediately rushed to where Meng Qi and others were, rising and falling in the ruins.

Ruan Yushu's expression is cold, his hands are playing the piano gracefully, and his voice is like Buddhist chanting, which is peaceful and distant, dissipating resentment and evil spirit.

ah!

The infected ordinary monsters held their heads and screamed, and in a matter of breaths they were dissipated from the inside out, one after another, almost in no sequence, like grass blown down by the wind, and the black air dissipated one by one.

After half a song of "Breaking the Curse", the figures all over the mountains and plains seemed empty, like harvested wheat fields, and the rest were more tyrannical guys.

They didn't flinch at all and kept running.

Ruan Yushu's white clothes are as white as snow, not stained by any dust. His hands are caressing him like a fairy under the moon. The sound of the piano changes, as if there is a sound of killing.

Clang, clang, clang!

A demon took eight steps and suddenly fell down. Black blood flowed from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

As soon as this sound sounded, many monsters died again.

A tall and strong demon couldn't bear it. He picked up his companion and threw it directly at Ruan Yushu, as if he wanted to interrupt her music.

Ruan Yushu played the piano gracefully, with the little fingers of his hands slightly raised, and the sword energy flowing vertically and horizontally, stabbing and knocking down the flying monsters with two swishes. The sound of the piano was not harsh at all, and was indescribably free and leisurely.

Qian Duoduo, who was watching not far away, couldn't help but nod. Ruan Yushu's piano skills are no longer weaker than Jiang Zhiwei's. In other words, Ruan Yushu's future achievements are no longer just legends, but a creation state similar to Jiang Zhiwei's. If the opportunity is enough , and even have a chance to land on the other side!

After defeating the demon army, he led the remaining righteous people towards the center of the ruins. When he met everyone, he happened to see the fire demon being beheaded. His body burned rapidly and turned into a pile of fire. The fire shrank and condensed into Two items, one is a jet-black magic crystal, and the other is a slow-burning dark red flame. It seems to be carved, delicate and beautiful, but it contains terrifying heat.

"This is?"

Meng Qi extinguished the flames on his chest, bare his upper body, and pointed at the dark red flames.

"This is the Demon Flame Heart."

Ruan Yushu's red lips parted slightly and she spoke.

As soon as the words fell, the vast energy surged into the sky, the vastness was emptied, and the world became dark.

"Zhenyun Cauldron?" Meng Qi blurted out, but the aura immediately disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

Natural change, or suppressed by others?

Are there any outsiders in the ruins?

The four of them looked at each other, put away their magic flame hearts and magic crystals, and rushed toward the center of the ruins.

Meng Qi took out the Baicao Pill and drank it while running to recover from his injuries and spirit.

When he knew that he was encountering a fire demon, as a precaution, he used the force of his sword to throw the things in his arms far away, and only picked them up later.

Ruan Yushu took out a set of male green robes from the mustard ring and threw it to Meng Qi.

They ran ahead of Taoist Baizhang, but the distance was far away, so they were a little late. When they arrived, they could already see their serious and solemn expressions. There was a corpse lying on the ground with a smile on its face, as if it was a dream. (End of chapter)
