The fairy is fierce

The crow was seriously injured and fell to the ground. The crazy flock of birds and the crowd calmed down, and gradually only the breathing of the injured was left in the snowy night.

Several monks stood in the building behind the yamen, their expressions of shock undiminished, their eyes still fixed on the black-robed swordsman, and they whispered about the origin of the swordsman surnamed Zuo.

Zuo Lingquan observed for a moment and felt that it was not that the monster was too weak, but that he was too strong! He put away the doubts in his heart and raised his eyes to look at Taoist Yunbao:

"Taoist Master Yun, has the monster been solved?"

Taoist Yunbao's expression was calm and calm, and he said with a smile:

"Zuo Jianxian is very skilled. Although Xiao Dao did not contribute much, he can still be regarded as fighting side by side with Zuo Jianxian. He will have something to brag about in the future. This demon is a serious problem for the people of Yangshan. Although he was seriously injured, he has not yet died. , in order to prevent unforeseen consequences, Zuo Jianxian had better deal with it as soon as possible. "

Several monks on the ground were frightened by the big crow, and they also echoed:

"Yes, Zuo Jianxian should kill this monster quickly, otherwise he will use ghostly magical powers to escape later. There is really nothing we can do..."

In fact, Black Crow suffered heavy damage, and in its current state, a monk with a little bit of skill can make up for it.

But there are rules for cultivating the Tao. When everyone eliminates monsters, Zuo Lingquan is the decisive factor. It seems that Taoism is also the highest at present. Naturally, he has the final say on how to deal with the monsters.

Zuo Lingquan beat the monster to a trace of blood and let it go. Before he could say anything, someone else jumped in to hit him. Isn't that a draw? What if someone keeps it for someone else?

Zuo Lingquan didn't touch up the sword directly because he was a little surprised that the sword hit him instantly. Seeing everyone's uneasiness, he walked towards the giant crow lying among the ruins with his sword in hand.

The crow's feathers were like iron pieces, and it was still emitting green smoke, but there was no external injury on its body; its originally scarlet pupils now became dull and lifeless, as if it had been electrocuted.

Xie Qiutao and Tang Jingxun came nearby, waiting for Zuo Lingquan to raise the knife and drop it. But before Zuo Lingquan could take action, the dumpling squatting on Tang Jingxun's shoulder made two "chichi~" sounds.

Tang Jingxuan raised his hand and flicked the dumpling's head:

"This thing looks dirty and cannot be eaten."

"grumble?"

Tuanzi was stunned and spread his wings: "Chi chi chi..."

Zuo Lingquan couldn't understand what he was talking about, but he was definitely not talking about eating roasted crow. He looked at the crow and considered it for a moment, then he felt something in his heart and said doubtfully:

"Where's the gourd?"

"grumble."

The dumpling chicken nodded like a peck of rice, looking like a teachable child.

Xie Qiutao felt something was wrong after being reminded and looked around the crow:

"Yeah, where's the gourd? Not to mention the gourd, I didn't even see the gourd vine..."

Taoist Yunbao, who had already fallen from the sky, heard the sound and said with a smile:

"Zuo Jianxian struck too quickly. Maybe some of his magical powers were subdued before he could use them. The condition of the people in the city is exactly the same as that of the Yan family. It must be this monster. As long as he is killed, the madness will disappear naturally."

Zuo Lingquan naturally wanted to understand the matter in such a simple way, but everyone dreamed of gourds and did not see related objects when they killed the demon. It was a bit far-fetched to rely solely on the gourd vines next to the nest to explain; and the ancestor said that it might be related to Xuan Xuan. The old crow is related to turtle blood. Even if it is said to be related to Tuanzi, it is more reliable than to be related to Xuangui.

Although it was just a guess, Zuo Lingquan had already captured the monster. It would be the same if Lingye came back and studied it thoroughly before killing it.

Thinking of this, Zuo Lingquan put away his sword:

"Let's wait until the investigation is clear before killing him. There is no rush now."

Seeing this, Taoist Yunbao smiled and said: "It all depends on Zuo Jianxian's arrangement." Then he turned and looked at the other monks:

"Let's go and take a look at the situation in the Yamen. Do you have any pills? How many can be saved..."

Several people left one after another.

Tuanzi was very interested in this big crow. Seeing that several people couldn't understand the bird's language, he volunteered and landed on the ground, looking at the head of the big crow:

"Chi chi chi..."

Judging from the fierce appearance, it is saying, "Who asked you to harm others? You decide whether you want it steamed or braised..."

From what he had just observed, Zuo Lingquan felt that this big crow had gone crazy, had no spiritual understanding at all, and would not respond.

Of course, what a few people didn't expect was that when the big crow with distracted eyes heard Tuanzi's call, he turned his head and exhaled "hissing...", which was obviously in response to Tuanzi, but he couldn't call out.

The crow was huge, and its exhaling sound was not small. Taoist Yunbao, who had already walked away, obviously paused for a moment, looked back at Tuanzi, but soon turned his head and walked away.

Zuo Lingquan stood in front of the monster, always paying attention to the surrounding movements. He naturally noticed such an obvious pause.

Zuo Lingquan thought about it for a while, but showed no signs of expression. After Taoist Yunbao left, he leaned over to Xie Qiutao's ear.

Xie Qiutao was squatting on the ground, watching Tuanzi interrogate the big crow, when he suddenly felt a heat in his ears, and a handsome face came close to him, and he was naturally startled.

Her face turned red, she squatted and took two steps to the side, covering her face and saying:

"Master Zuo, what do you want to do?"

Tang Jingxuan's eyes were a little strange: "Yes, Xiao Zuo, what are you doing?" ?

Zuo Lingquan was speechless. He raised his hand and patted the back of Xie Qiutao's head, then whispered a few words into his ear:

"Later..."

Xie Qiutao listened carefully and was a little confused, but finally nodded.

After Zuo Lingquan finished speaking, he did not stop in front of the monster. He took Jingxun with him to the inside of the county government office to check on the wounded, leaving only Tuanzi and Qiutao in front of the monster.

The inside of the county government was covered in blood and weapons, with several corpses on the ground. More wounded were dragged back to the house by the awake people to avoid freezing to death in the heavy snow.

Zuo Lingquan brought a lot of high-quality elixirs with him. Although it was a bit of a waste to give them to ordinary people, life has the same price, and saving lives is not a waste, so he did not feel sorry for these elixirs.

Tang Jingyan got a Linglong Pavilion from the Shangguan Patriarch. According to Jiang Yi's instructions, there were necessities for cultivation in it. At this time, he also took out the healing pill.

The two walked a distance, and before they treated a few wounded, they heard shouts from the house next to the government office:

"Yan Ge?! Fan Jianxian?!..."

Yan Sanjie's voice was very anxious.

Zuo Lingquan frowned, quickly flew up, and came to the next door of the county government.

Next to the county government was the official residence of the prefect Wang Lin, who had suffered a great disaster. There was a fire inside, and the ground was in a mess.

Following the sound, Zuo Lingquan came to the west house of the prefectural government, but saw more than a dozen people standing outside the courtyard, which was originally the kitchen. Taoist Yunbao and Yan Sanjie were among them.

Under the wall of the alley leading to the kitchen, there were more than ten corpses lying. Judging from their clothes, they were all casual cultivators and people from the underworld, and all had sword wounds on their bodies.

Zuo Lingquan was slightly startled, and looked up to find that the backyard of the government office was behind the wall.

Just now, all the officers and soldiers outside the government office were in a frenzy. If the people in the government office wanted to run from the government office to the center of the city, this was the shortest and safest way to go.

The corpses on the ground were probably people with a good foundation in the hall. After noticing the abnormality, they were not bewitched and fled immediately, but they couldn't hold on and fell into madness after running here.

Zuo Lingquan quickly came to the outside of the yard, but saw more corpses inside, almost covering the ground. The houses and walls were full of sword wounds, and there were traces left by the explosion of talismans.

The wooden door of the kitchen was closed, and the wall had been hacked and smashed into many holes. The steps outside the door were covered with blood.

A slovenly man, holding a broken sword in both hands, sat slumped in front of the kitchen door, with sword wounds and burn marks all over his body.

Tang Jingyan followed behind him in fear, and when he saw the slovenly man in front of the door, his eyes were shocked:

"Why is he..."

Zuo Lingquan recognized this man, it was Fan Jin who was full of nonsense. He walked quickly to the yard and asked:

"What's going on?"

Yan Sanjie was anxious and looked for Yan Ge among the corpses on the ground:

"Something happened just now, I asked Fan Jianxian to take Yan Ge away first, but I didn't expect... Alas..."

"Cough cough"

As he was talking, Fan Jin, who was lying in front of the door, suddenly coughed twice, woke up, and spoke hoarsely with blood foam in his mouth :

"Not... not dead, inside the house... I... I took the money, and swordsmen always... always keep their word... but this time I'm a little... at a disadvantage..."

Yan Sanjie rushed into the house through the window. As expected, Yan Ge was inside, unharmed, but knocked unconscious. His eyes were full of gratitude, and he said anxiously:

"Masters, please save Fan Jianxian..."

Zuo Lingquan thought Fan Jin was dead just now. When he heard the noise, he came to check, but Fan Jin had more than a hundred wounds on his body, and he didn't know where to stop the bleeding.

When Fan Jin was fighting just now, he should have seen Zuo Lingquan's sword in mid-air. He raised his bloody hand, grabbed Zuo Lingquan's sleeve, and actually smiled, revealing his bloody teeth:

"Boy, I... I didn't lie to you, did I? Am I worthy of... the word "Sword Immortal"? "

Zuo Lingquan didn't have the heart to respond to these, and carefully checked the injury:

"I deserve it, I deserve it..."

"Have you... Have you embarrassed Ming Jianxian?"

"No, no..."

"Hehe..."

Fan Jianxian smiled, but he exhaled more than inhaled.

Zuo Lingquan held Fan Jin's wrist and checked, and found that this guy was at most the eighth level of Qi training, not even a spiritual valley, at most a little better than a mortal.

He lost too much blood, but he could still be treated with the blood-generating elixir, but the fatal thing was that a sharp weapon pierced his back from the spine of his lower back. It is estimated that half of his lumbar spine was broken, and his lower body was paralyzed, so he had to sit here to guard the door.

This kind of injury is only lighter than a beheading. The physique of a Qi-refining cultivator cannot bear it at all. Without a high-level doctor, he would probably be disabled even if he was kept alive by elixirs.

Zuo Lingquan frowned and lifted Fan Jin up to check the wound on his back, but was shocked to find that the knife was still inserted in his waist. It was a constable's saber. It was the official saber used by Yan Ge.

"......?!"

Zuo Lingquan was stunned.

Fan Jin raised his hand slightly and said with a weak breath:

"Originally... I could have fought my way out... I was careless and forgot that the boy was crazy... However, the matter was still done. The profit and loss are all mine..."

Fan Jin was already unconscious, but he kept waving his hands slightly, probably to signal Zuo Lingquan not to make it public, so as not to make the Yan family feel indebted. He had already received the money in advance, and it was his own no matter how much he did. If people felt that he owed him, wouldn't that be shameless?

Zuo Lingquan didn't know what to say. He could have escaped, but he was stabbed in the back by his crazy employer, but he didn't give up and fought to guard the door. He didn't even have any resentment afterwards. Apart from other things, his broad mind and credibility of keeping his word made him more like a sword immortal than anyone else in the world.

Zuo Lingquan didn't want to watch Fan Jin die suddenly, but there was really no way to do it. His mind raced, and suddenly he remembered something. He spread his palm, and a ball of green mist emerged from his hand, gradually condensing into the phantom of a peach pit.

The life object of a cultivator is related to his life. Except for the sword immortal who would take it out to fight, normal people would not easily take it out to show others.

There were some Linggu monks in the yard. When they saw the green light in Zuo Lingquan's hand, their pupils shrank. A few experienced monks even looked shocked, because the source of the Five Elements was so pure, They had only seen it in fairy tales made up by idlers, but they never thought it existed in the world.

The growth of wood, the master of the five elements, is naturally complementary to medicine. Although Zuo Lingquan does not have medical skills, he cannot stand up to the high level of his natal items.

The source of the five elements given by Qinglong is the source of the growth of all things. If it cannot be preserved by a living mortal, then this thing is not worthy of such a high grade.

Zuo Lingquan held the peach core phantom in his hand and tried to infuse the surging vitality from the natal object into Fan Jin's body. He knew no medical skills. This simple and crude method was tantamount to using all his strength on the handle of the knife to hit people. The mountaintop doctor, When the alchemist saw it, he would probably vomit blood on the spot, but the effect was equally impressive.

Wherever the green light touched, Fan Jin's wounds obviously began to heal, the color on his face gradually returned, and even his eyes became clearer.

Fan Jin noticed the changes in his body and was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it, he actually said:

"Boy, you admire this swordsman as a person, that's why...I...I don't remember your favor..."? ?

Zuo Lingquan took a breath, closed his palms, and put away his life object.

The Sword Immortal's arrogance obviously has its limits. Fan Jin raised his hand again and laughed:

"Sigh... We are all swordsmen. We can't even make jokes. It doesn't matter if you remember your personal relationships. Anyway, you won't be able to do it in this life..."

Zuo Lingquan just raised his hand and didn't expect Fan Jin to return the favor. After hanging on to Fan Jin's life, he shook his head and said:

"I don't have any medical skills, so I can kill you, but the injury on your waist can only be restored to its original state by an expert doctor. Before that, I'm afraid you will have to use a crutch."

"Oh, it's better than losing your life..."

Fan Jin sighed a few words, didn't know what he was thinking, and said again:

"Since you owe Zuo Jianxian a favor, we can be considered to have a good relationship. When you see Sword Immortal Chou Ming tomorrow, tell him about me. I think he will be attracted by the fact that he knows that there is a fellow countryman like me. To be proud of..."?

Zuo Lingquan felt that Fan Jin was a swordsman, but his words were not pleasing to people. After he hung up Fan Jin's life, he stopped talking nonsense and started to use his newly learned magical powers to treat other injured people.

It has to be said that the sense of accomplishment in curing diseases and saving people is much greater than killing people with a sword.

Just Jing Xun's adoring expression at the back, "This is my man, is my man great?" makes people very satisfied.

Zuo Lingquan practiced medicine for a while and felt that he could really learn some medical skills in the future. There are many swordsmen who can kill people with one sword, but there are not many swordsmen who can kill people with one sword and then resurrect them on the spot. Well... the way of swordsmanship The highest level is 'Sword Doctor'!

Of course, this idea is just a random thought.

Zuo Lingquan was busy in the house for a long time, and he did not forget to pay attention to Xie Qiutao, because when he was treating patients and rescuing people, he discovered that Taoist Yunbao, who was saving others, disappeared.

Soon after, Zuo Lingquan felt strange spiritual energy fluctuations coming from the direction of the big crow.

At this time, people inside and outside the county government were treating the wounded, and there was no time to pay attention to the monster.

Zuo Lingquan noticed something was wrong and rose into the air, looking at the collapsed ruins behind the county government office.

The fireworks in the ruins were not extinguished, and the big crow was still lying there.

Xie Qiutao was holding an iron lute, staring at the corner of the ruins with hostile eyes; Tuanzi also spread his wings, making a show of fangs and claws, ready to breathe fire.

In the corner of the ruins, behind a collapsed house, Taoist Yunbao held a fly whisk in front of him, looking fearful.

Shangguan Lingye, dressed in a gorgeous dress, was half-hanging in the air, his cold eyes locked on Taoist Yunbao, his hands slightly raised, ready to go.

Zuo Lingquan just noticed that Taoist Yunbao suddenly stamped his feet, and guessed that there might be a problem. He deliberately walked away, leaving only Tuanzi and Xie Qiutao to watch, just to see if anything unusual would happen. Now that the other party really took the bait, what happens next? Needless to say. He flew up to Lingye and asked directly:

"Taoist Master Yun, are you afraid that the monster will escape and want to kill it directly to avoid causing trouble?"

Taoist Yunbao, who was very well in the city, was blocked by two people. He put away his fly whisk and said with a smile:

"It turns out that there is a fairy beside Zuo Jianxian, but I was too worried. Just now I saw that Zuo Jianxian was rescuing people, so he put the monster here and put it under the care of a little girl. He was afraid that the monster would escape, so he made this move... …”

Shangguan Lingye had already noticed the chaos in the city and rushed over quickly, but did not show up directly, but observed the strange movements in the city in the dark.

The reason for this is that she found this disaster to be abnormal.

The Iron Bell Crow can indeed drive people into madness, and all the signs are consistent with the people of Yanjiazhuang. The gourd can also be explained by the unpredictable methods of monsters, but what cannot be explained is the issue of motivation.

According to recent investigations, the madness began in Yan Sanjie's eldest son ten years ago, and it was not concentrated in Yangcheng, but in various parts of Caiyi Kingdom.

No matter how high Tielingya is, no matter how crazy he is, he can't do things without logic; he has been hiding from the human race for ten years, and then wandering around the Caiyi Kingdom, driving a few people crazy and then leaving; making the Yan family so miserable, But he was hiding in front of the Yan family and was easily discovered by a few young monks. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense.

Shangguan Lingye is very thoughtful and thinks the worst when he can't figure it out. He just thinks that these things are just a cover-up on the surface and there is something hidden behind it.

The result was great. After staring in the dark for a moment, she actually discovered that Taoist Yunbao, who had been arranging the extermination of demons, had made some changes.

Taoist Yunbao had just taken advantage of Zuo Lingquan's absence to sneak up here quietly and wanted to secretly kill the crow with his magic.

This behavior can be explained by fear of complications, but what cannot be explained is why it is necessary to cut off first and then report later, and in such a hurry? Are you afraid of being discovered after seeing that Tuanzi can communicate with the crazy crow?

Zuo Lingquan held his sword and glanced at Crow:

"Taoist Master Yun is afraid that there will be complications. You can tell me that we are all righteous people. Are you still afraid that you will have a dispute with me and I will turn my sword on you?"

Taoist Yunbao said with no shame on his face: "I know people, but not their hearts. I don't know the nature of Zuo Jianxian, so I had a dispute with you in advance. Even if you don't use my sword to fight, you will still take good care of the monster and prevent me from hurting your life. I accept it." People entrusted me to get rid of the demons, so I have to do it well. Zuo Jianxian refused to kill the demons and just left them elsewhere. If the demons arise again and hurt the people, who will resist the blame? "

"So Taoist Master Yun came here secretly to eliminate the demon?"

"So what?"

Within two words, the Yan family and many small cultivators came over and looked at them in astonishment, wondering why the two groups of demon masters were in conflict.

Taoist Yunbao also had anger on his face and pointed at the demon in the distance:

"This monster has caused harm to countless people in the past, and today it has caused countless deaths and injuries in the city. Now it is still living there, and it may explode at any time. If it is not eliminated, can you ask the head of the Yan family if he can feel at ease? Ask the monks present if he can feel at ease? I can't afford to offend Zuo Jianxian, so I just came here secretly to kill it first and then show off. You left the monster aside without taking care of it. I'm worried about making trouble to eliminate the monster. Is it wrong to do so?"

The onlookers were a little confused, but they roughly understood why the two groups were arguing.

Yan Sanjie discovered that the monster was nearby, his face changed slightly, and he quickly said:

"Young Master Zuo, no matter what, let's get rid of this monster first. Let's sit down and talk about other things. They are all about getting rid of harm for the people, so there is no need to talk angrily."

"Yeah yeah……"

Others began to persuade.

Zuo Lingquan naturally didn't care about these words. He felt that Taoist Yunbao was suspicious, so he had to investigate everything he said.

Shangguan Lingye is good at dealing with evil sects. If there are any suspicions, he will be detained for review until there are no problems. If there are any opinions, go to the Eight Lords and they will set the rules.

Seeing Taoist Yunbao angrily questioning him, Shangguan Lingye cupped his hands:

"Yunxian's determination to eliminate harm for the people is really admirable, but the Taoist priest knows the rules of the righteous way. If you have a clear conscience, why should you be afraid of our questioning? If we really suspect that we are wrong, we will make amends..."

Taoist Yunbao waved his sleeves: "Those are the rules of the Nine Sects. There are no such rules in Zhongzhou."

"Do you know that we are from Jiuzong?"

"My Tao once practiced in Fulong Mountain and understood the rules there. Now I have left the mountain. No matter who you are, you are not qualified to interfere with this Tao. It is not that our Tao has no friends in the north. If you insist on taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, then don't It’s my fault for being so merciless.”

After all, Shangguan Lingye is a man of the right path. He can't knock Taoist Yunbao down to search for his soul. The other party's response was perfect. She was silent for a moment and turned to Zuo Lingquan:

"Tell the ancestor and ask her to invite Jiang Jianhuang to come over. The lives of countless people are at stake. Jiang Jianhuang's chivalry is known to the world and he will not find it troublesome."

Only Jiang Chengjian, the strongest swordsman in Yuyao Continent, can be called the 'Jiang Sword King'.

Shangguan Lingye's words were equivalent to two young cultivators having a dispute in the wild. One of them said that he wanted to call Shangguan Yutang, the leader of the Nine Alliances, to come and comment. Normal people would laugh out loud when they heard this.

The monks around him had strange expressions after hearing this.

As for Taoist Yunbao, who was standing on the opposite side, if he didn't know the identity of the two of them, he would probably sneer and think that the two of them were trying to scare people by trying to scare people.

But Taoist Yunbao frowned slightly when he saw the real Zuo Lingquan returning to the rear, talking about the matter with a woman, and asking her to make the announcement on her behalf.

Shangguan Lingye was keenly aware of this, and his eyes turned cold:

"Does Taoist Master Yun know that we can call Jiang Jianhuang here?"

Taoist Yunbao looked unhappy and said in a deep voice:

"Zuo Lingquan's name is also well-known in Central Continent. How could I not know about it? It's just that you didn't declare your family status, so it's hard to tell the truth. So what if you really call Jiang Jianhuang here? I have a clear conscience, so there is nothing to be afraid of. "

Shangguan Lingye nodded slightly, tilted his head and said:

"Have you contacted me yet?"

Tang Jingxun contacted the ancestor and responded:

"As I said, my ancestor said that Emperor Jiang Jianhuang would be here within half a cup of tea at most."

As soon as these words came out, the monks present showed a look of doubt and expectation. After all, who among the monks who are trying to find a way in Yuyaozhou doesn't want to see with their own eyes the elegance of the monks on the top of the mountain?

Shangguan Lingye looked at Taoist Yunbao: "Excuse me, Taoist Master Yun, please wait a moment. Emperor Jiang Jianhuang will be here soon. As long as the whole story of this matter is found out, all the debts owed to Tiechu Mansion will be repaid to Taoist Master."

"I'm not greedy for that little compensation. When Jiang Jianhuang comes over later, you just need to excuse me in front of his old man."

Taoist Yunbao waved his sleeves and snorted, calmly waiting for it.

Zuo Lingquan and Shangguan Lingye naturally murmured in their hearts when they saw how tough the other party was, wondering if they were too suspicious and had really misunderstood the old Taoist priest.

After all, they couldn't see too many details. Jiang Chengjian was different. He was the strongest swordsman in Yuyaozhou. If he couldn't see any clues about the crows today, he wouldn't deserve the title. Taoist Yunbao dared to stay here. Isn't that waiting for death?

Taoist Yunbao looked confident. He stood there with a fairy-like appearance. He didn't show any strange color until he waited for a while. Then he looked slightly surprised and looked at the night sky in the south:

"So fast?!"

Everyone looked south quickly after hearing this. Even Shangguan Lingye looked south, wanting to welcome this mountaintop swordsman who ranked first in Zhongzhou.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the sky in the south was so dark that nothing could be seen, not even a bright spot. ?

Zuo Lingquan thought that his realm was too low at first, but he reacted immediately and turned around to chase outside the city.

Everyone looked back blankly, but saw that Taoist Yunbao, who was waiting righteously just now, had disappeared without a trace...
