Strange mountains and rivers

Only two people traveled, and it was a journey of thousands of miles. For Chen Huaisheng and Xuan Chimei, it was the first time.

It was not the first time for the two to travel alone. They also traveled together in the battle of Fantai Auction. However, they lived in Beijing at that time, which was very close. Although they experienced hardships and setbacks, it was only a few days.

This trip was different.

From Hebei to their hometown, the two had to eat, wear and live together, and more importantly, this was the first trip after the two made their relationship clear.

It was hard to say when it was made clear. In short, on Yunzhong Mountain and in Bailu Courtyard, it was vaguely determined that Fang Baoliu and Xuan Chimei were Chen Huaisheng's Taoist companions, and Min Qingyu was a companion. These three were Chen Huaisheng's formal women with a name.

Whether in a sect family or a casual cultivator, this way of Taoist companions, companions and maids has always been the belonging of cultivators after reaching a certain stage of spiritual realm and having a certain status.

Taoist companions are undoubtedly the highest status, and there is no limit on the number of people. Cultivators almost replace the identity of husband and wife in this way.

It's just that the mortal society will not recognize more than two wives, and because the Taoist partner plays an extremely important role in the cultivation process of the cultivator, especially in a certain stage, the Taoist partner may even become an important helper, so whether it is one person or multiple people in the cultivation world is normal, and it will not be determined by pure feelings.

The status of the companion is similar to that of a concubine, but it seems to be slightly higher, because it also plays the role of an assistant in the cultivation process of the cultivator, and also has an impact and effect on the cultivation process of the cultivator, but not as good as the Taoist partner, so many cultivators often have a deep relationship with the companion, which exceeds the Taoist partner, similar to the feeling of taking a concubine.

As for the maid, although it is also considered a woman of the cultivator, her status is much lower.

They generally only play a temporary auxiliary role, well, even as the role of the monk's sexual partner.

Because the cultivator is very likely to need to vent due to long-term boring cultivation during the cultivation process, and the Taoist partner and the companion are often partners with a certain level of spiritual realm, and cannot serve and meet the needs of the cultivator at any time.

In this way, maids came into being, and they fell in love with each other over time. In addition, maids were also Dao seeds or cultivators, so many Dao companions and companions also grew up from maids.

Starting from Wolong Ridge, going south all the way, stopping briefly at Baita Pu, Chen Huaisheng brought Xuan Chimei to visit the Sun family.

The Sun family is the largest trading family in Fuyang Dao. In addition to the cooperation with Chonghua Sect, it almost controls most of the spiritual materials, spiritual food and magic weapon trade in Fuyang Dao. Even Yunzhongshan has to buy a large number of spiritual materials from the Sun family.

After leaving Baita Pu, Chen Huaisheng noticed that the people of Fengyi Sect seemed to be conducting some kind of investigation in Zhaigu Dao, and the atmosphere was a little tense.

While resting in Anding City in Zhaigu Dao, Chen Huaisheng learned about the situation through the owner of the inn.

"A third-level monster appeared in Hongye Manor outside Anding City." Chen Huaisheng felt a little heavy in his heart. He had just gone out and heard this news in Zhaigu Dao.

He asked about the situation in Hongye Manor, which was less than 40 miles away from Anding City and 30 miles away from the mountainous area, but a third-level monster appeared.

A three-eyed wolf appeared and attacked Hongye Manor. It also happened to encounter a passing Fengyi Sect monk. The two sides fought fiercely. Two Fengyi Sect monks died on the spot and three were injured. The wolf fled, but did not leave.

This also caused great panic in the entire Anding City.

This is a huge challenge for Fengyi Sect. Anding City is located in the central position of the northern part of Zhaigu Road. Although it is not the core area of ​​Fengyi Sect, it is the second largest city in the north after Liang'an City, and Fengyu Mountain, the gate of Fengyi Sect, just forms an equilateral triangle with these two cities.

This triangular area and its surrounding areas, even extending to the middle of Zhaigu Road, are the heartland of Fengyi Sect. It can be said that production, sources of disciples, and trade channels are all concentrated in this area.

Once Anding City is unstable, this link will be broken, and the consequences will be disastrous, so Fengyi Sect will nip this danger in the bud at all costs.

A third-level monster is not enough to make Fengyi Sect helpless, and third-level monsters are also divided into high and low grades. The Dire Wolf is at most a middle-low-grade third-level monster, which is far from the third-level monsters like the Ghost Abyss.

But there have never been third-level monsters around Anding City before. Even in winter, second-level monsters are rarely seen. Now, in the early autumn, there are already third-level monsters. This drastic change is too hard to accept.

Xuan Chimei was also a little surprised, but this is not Fuyang, and it is far away from Wolong Ridge. Although she is a little nervous and worried, she is not afraid.

"Now there are level 3 monsters in Anding City. I don't know what will happen to our Wolong Ridge in winter. Brother Huaisheng, are you going to lend a helping hand to Fengyi Sect?"

"We don't need to be there. Fengyi Sect can easily deal with a dire wolf. They suffered a lot before, but they were caught off guard." Chen Huaisheng sighed, "I know that this wave of monsters may spread all over the world. Hebei is like this, and Da Zhao may not be able to escape. What about Datang and Wuyue?"

Seeing that the pedestrians in the city were panicked and worried, or in a hurry, Chen Huaisheng closed the door and shook his head: "I feel that our journey this time will not be smooth."

Although the two have not yet become husband and wife, Chen Huaisheng is also considering the right time. His Dragon and Tiger Three Elements Association is also a method of yin and yang harmony. If he can combine with Xuan Chimei at the right time, it will be beneficial to both parties, especially Xuan Chimei is not humane, and the combination of dragon and tiger can be more helpful.

However, when they are away from home, the two have already lived in the same room, and there are not too many taboos.

As for the relationship between husband and wife, Chen Huaisheng and Xuan Chimei are not in a situation that is difficult to control.

Just as Chen Huaisheng and Xuan Chimei, who were full of worries, were about to rest and sleep, a shrill roar of an animal came from outside the inn, which seemed so creepy at night.

Chen Huaisheng and Xuan Chimei, who were already lying in bed, couldn't help but stand up and listen.

This is the cry of a dire wolf, full of greed and anger.

I just don't know if this is the dire wolf that people are talking about.

There were more than ten cultivators from Fengyi Sect who came to Anding City. The first one was a seventh-level foundation-building cultivator, and there was also a fourth-level foundation-building cultivator and a second-level foundation-building cultivator. The rest were cultivators at the high and middle stages of Qi Refining.

With this strength, it should be more than enough to deal with a dire wolf.

In the evening, when Chen Huaisheng and Xuan Chimei checked into the inn, they met this group of people and greeted them.

Fengyi Sect and Chonghua Sect were located in Zhaigu Road and Fuyang Road respectively, one in the middle and northern part of Zhaigu Road, and the other in the northeast of Fuyang Road. Originally, the control areas of the two sides were not connected by default, but with the Ding family joining Chonghua Sect and Baita Pu being included in the influence of Chonghua Sect, the two sides could barely connect.

According to convention, if a cultivator enters the control area of ​​a sect just passing by without any special action, he does not need to report, especially for cultivators below the foundation-building stage.

Of course, if you meet in the other party's territory, taking the initiative to say hello is also a courtesy, and the other party has the right to ask.

Fengyi Sect and Chonghua Sect also had some dealings in the battle with the demon corpse, but there was not much contact afterwards. But now they met like this, and Chen Huaisheng was at the fourth level of foundation building, so he took the initiative to express his itinerary intention.

In this way, the people of Fengyi Sect also knew that Chen Huaisheng and his party were staying in Anding City.

The two listened quietly, and the whole Anding City seemed to be quiet again, and there was no movement.

The two felt relieved.

Just as they were about to go to bed, they didn't expect that there was a roar and a roar of beasts in the west of the city, followed by a series of thunder and sword whistles. The two were startled and hurried out of the house, standing in the yard and looking west.

The sword was like a rainbow, colorful and blurred, and a series of light bands passed through the night sky. This was at least the sword cultivation technique of cultivators above the foundation building.

Chen Huaisheng and Xuan Chimei soared into the air in the courtyard, and floated up to observe. They only saw screams and roars coming from the west of the city, but because the distance was too far, they could not see clearly what was happening over there.

"What should I do?" Xuan Chimei was also a little nervous.

She was definitely not able to deal with a third-level monster. Even if the fighting power of the dire wolf was inferior among the third-level monsters, it was not something that a cultivator like her who was at the seventh level of Qi Refining could contend with.

Chen Huaisheng sighed in his heart. When a cultivator encounters such a thing, he needs to evaluate his strength, especially not to act impulsively easily, otherwise he may die.

Chen Huaisheng was probably not afraid of it. His current fighting power has been improved to the sixth level of foundation building, or even the seventh level. He also has the Winged Fire Snake. Even if the Ghost Abyss comes, as long as he is not in a desperate situation, he can still get away.

If it is just a dire wolf, he can kill it alone. I am afraid it is not just one dire wolf. If it is a group, it is not easy to say.

There are both solitary and group dire wolves, but looking at the current situation in the west of the city, Chen Huaisheng felt that it was impossible that the Fengyi Sect's several foundation-building masters could not even deal with a dire wolf.

"Let's go and take a look." Chen Huaisheng hesitated, "But you have to follow me closely. If there is anything wrong, you must retreat immediately and not linger in the battle."

Xuan Chimei became excited and nodded, "Okay, I understand the importance."

Before the two of them left, someone broke into the inn, "Is Master Chen of the Chonghua Sect here? Zhang Fengyun of the Fengyi Sect wants to see you."

Chen Huaisheng and Xuan Chimei exchanged glances and knew that they must be asking for help, and they also knew that the situation must be worse than imagined.

As expected, the person who came had a serious face and told the situation directly without hiding anything. There were five dire wolves, one of which was a three-eyed wolf king.

When a dire wolf's lifespan exceeds two centuries, a heavenly eye will grow on its forehead, and its insight will double, and its combat effectiveness will also greatly increase. The combat effectiveness of a three-eyed wolf king is at least equivalent to that of three dire wolves.
