Duan Qianli's demon nature is difficult to change, and he conjured up a pot of wine out of nowhere while speaking.

He sat side by side with Li Fenglan on the side of the boat, and slowly uttered the first shocking words: "Qiu Wanyou is disrespectful, beat mandarin ducks with a club."

Li Fenglan: "..."

How do you feel that something is wrong?

Seeing that Li Fenglan didn't respond to him, Duan Qianli said again: "This is disrespectful to old people, and even beat mandarin ducks with sticks, all because of his apprentice Li Fuyue."

Hearing the three words "Li Fuyue", Cheng Huang crawled out of Li Fenglan's sleeve curiously, and the next moment Li Fenglan slowly pinched the small pads on its claws.

Li Fenglan smiled and said, "Go ahead."

But what I think in my heart is: you continue to make up.

Duan Qianli sighed and said: "Back then, Li Fuyue and the young master of the Yaozu were in love with each other. Everyone in the Yaozu called Li Fuyue 'Madam'. It's a pity that Qiu Wanyou found out and made trouble..."

lady?

"Aww!"

Unconsciously, the strength in Li Fenglan's hand became stronger and stronger, even Cheng Huang was hurt by him.

After being wronged by the little guy, Li Fenglan quickly let go of its claws, and gently scratched Chenghuang's chin.

Cheng Huang is innocent.

Duan Qianli is still going on here: "Although Qiu Wanyou doesn't go out of the snowy Meizhou, he has often tripped up the young master secretly. He even used the divine weapon 'soul chasing arrow' to seriously wound the young master of the demon clan."

So there is such a thing?

Li Fenglan remembered that Duan Qianli seemed to have been seriously injured once. At that time, I was still curious about who could make him suffer such a heavy arrow wound...

"By the way, I have also inquired about anyone in Tianmian Palace who is interested in Li Fuyue. Once Qiu Wanyou finds out, there will be no good fruit to eat. It will be easy to be imprisoned in the sect for a thousand or eight hundred years." , Most of the people were sent to dangerous secret places by him, or to deal with powerful beasts. They never returned..." After saying this, Duan Qianli finally drank the pot of wine in his hand.

This time, Li Fenglan's words of retort had reached her lips, but she couldn't say it anymore.

In that sentence just now, Duan Qianli didn't talk nonsense, and didn't even add fuel to it.

——Li Fuyue in the last life was the favorite of countless monks in the cultivation world. Since he left the snowy Meizhou at the age of three hundred, he has received countless confessions.

Thinking about it carefully now... Those who confessed to him did indeed die in the secret realm as Duan Qianli said, and never appeared again.

Once or twice may be a coincidence, but not every time.

Li Fenglan's heart was in a mess, and the rhythm of his breathing was messed up.

"Then you...how did you know that Qiu Wanyou is interested in his apprentice?"

I saw Duan Qianli sneered and said: "Because Qiu Wanyou has a bit of spiritual consciousness on the soul-chasing arrow, the young master of the monster clan once had a conversation with the spiritual consciousness on the arrow... Hehe, that is a pervert who disrespects and disregards ordinary relationships , directly responded!"

The more Duan Qianli spoke, the angrier he became.

Having been rivals for so many years, of course Li Fenglan can clearly distinguish which of Duan Qianli's words is nonsense and which is true.

No matter how outrageous the front is, this sentence is not false.

…And even if you have accepted that you have come back from the dead, you have also accepted that the world you live in is just a novel.

But knowing that her master actually...had such an idea, Li Fenglan still couldn't accept it for a while.

Leaving aside the matter of Yao Zhengzhong, Li Fenglan has always respected his master.

Qiu Wanyou's parents are both monks. He has cultivated since he was a child, and he looks like a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world. Li Fenglan even found it difficult to connect Master with those mortal desires for a while...

The most important thing is, isn't "Taoist in Heaven" a serious book! Why is there such a strange hidden plot?

But having said that, Duan Qianli's question has not been answered yet. Why did he say "half the cultivation world knows it"?

Before Li Fenglan could ask, Duan Qianli couldn't hold back when he saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time.

He thought that Li Fenglan didn't believe him, so he added: "These words were all spoken by the leader of the demon clan himself. Not only me, but the entire demon cultivator world knows about it."

The entire demon cultivator world?

In the previous life, whenever Li Fenglan saw Duan Qianli, she would fight him.

But in this life, he originally thought that he and Duan Qianli were already facing the sky, and they were going to each other.

Unexpectedly, after hearing these words, Li Fenglan still had an urge to beat someone up.

Calm down, calm down, don't hit anyone.

"So what do you mean by 'half the cultivation world'?" Li Fenglan felt that she might have misunderstood that she should confirm with Duan Qianli.

"Oh," Duan Qianli took out a candied fruit from nowhere and said after throwing it into his mouth, "The young master of the demon clan said it himself, and everyone in the demon cultivator world knows it. Isn't that half of the cultivation world?"

Li Fenglan: "..."

It turns out that you are the one who keeps spreading rumors?

hehe.

He hid Cheng Huang in the sleeve of his left hand, and the next moment he struck Duan Qianli's candied fruit into the air.

The light pink candied fruit drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and fell from the air with a "click".

Before Duan Qianli could react, Li Fenglan turned around and left.

Behind him, there was only a wail:

"Ahhh! Are you sick?"

You really can't believe what the demon cultivator said.

…

The destination of this trip is Xihou City. Burying the contents of the box can only be regarded as a "hidden mission". People from Tianmian Palace still have business to do when they come here.

When the spirit boat was about to reach the city behind the stream, Zhuang Zhixia summoned everyone to the front of the boat.

She glanced at the town under the sea of ​​clouds, and said to her classmates on the boat: "There are fierce beasts appearing near the city behind the stream. The purpose of our trip is to kill the beasts. Please be careful."

"Yes, Senior Sister!" The surrounding monks responded one after another.

The monks traveling with Li Fenglan were generally relatively young. After hearing the mission, everyone immediately became nervous. But having said that, they have a large number of people, and there is Zhuang Zhixia, the senior sister, so it is definitely not a problem to deal with a few fierce beasts.

So the tension is the tension, the atmosphere in the team is still relaxed.

On the other hand, Duan Qianli yawned in a lack of interest. He obviously didn't have much interest in this kind of activity.

The spirit boat lowered slowly, looking at the unfamiliar city below, Li Fenglan couldn't help touching Chenghuang hidden in her sleeve.

And the little guy also lightly rubbed Li Fenglan's finger as a response.

Li Fenglan couldn't help but think: This trip by me should be regarded as going home, right?

Even though thousands of years have passed, I no longer recognize the city under the spirit boat, but this city hides my childhood after all...

"Okay, everyone, go get ready, don't be too nervous. Today we will go to the creek to rest in the city, and then go out of the city to have a look during the day." The spirit boat landed on the ground not long after. Zhuang Zhixia made simple arrangements and called Everyone went to the city with her.

The crowd moved forward slowly, but Li Fenglan couldn't help but stop and looked up at the tower.

He has not been back here for thousands of years, and the city in front of him has nothing to do with the one in Li Fenglan's memory.

Even though the thousand years in the cultivation world had already washed away the memory of those seventeen years, Li Fenglan still felt like a dream when she saw this city.

After a while, Li Fenglan slowly retracted her gaze.

At this time, he discovered that besides himself, there was another person looking up at the three large characters on the city gate.

Why is Duan Qianli interested in mortal cities?

Noticing that Li Fenglan was looking at her, Duan Qianli, who was just angrily ignoring him just now, suddenly sighed and said: "Seeing this place, I suddenly remembered an old acquaintance."

"Old acquaintance?" Li Fenglan couldn't help repeating these three words as she walked into the city side by side with him.

Duan Qianli used the words "old acquaintance" to describe himself, which really surprised him.

Even if he was seriously injured by himself back then, Duan Qianli liked to call himself the four words "defeated general", which can be said to be extremely stubborn.

Why is it that a thousand years have passed, and he uses "old acquaintance" instead?

"Yeah, I have died tragically for many years." Duan Qianli commented objectively.

Tragic Death Li Fenglan: "..."

In fact, there is nothing wrong with it.

I don't know if it's because he stayed away from the Tianmian Palace team a little bit, or because he understood Duan Qianli's words. Cheng Huang, who was sleeping with Li Fenglan's arm in his arms, suddenly opened his eyes, "Wow!" Then he jumped out of his master's sleeve and bit Duan Qianli's wrist fiercely.

Cheng Huang's movements were extremely fast, and in the next second Li Fenglan heard Duan Qianli's soft exclamation.

"You little thing, why are you crazy?!"

Regardless of why Cheng Huang bit people, Li Fenglan was very relieved to see her salted fish spirit beast suddenly rise up and attack the demon master.

The monks of Tianmian Palace lived in a small inn in the city. The environment here is average, but it is closer to Dongshan where there are fierce beasts.

After settling in, the other monks went out to observe the surrounding situation, or inquire about news about the beast. Only Duan Qianli stayed in the inn for a big meal, and he also kept Li Fenglan, in the pretentious name of wanting her to recharge her energy.

There was no curfew in Xihou City originally, but since a few years ago, fierce beasts appeared suddenly in the suburbs outside the city at night, and the city lord finally had no choice but to set a curfew.

When everyone has to go back indoors at night, several city gates will be closed accordingly.

After Tianmian Palace's disciple fields came back one after another, the curfew time of Xihou City also came.

As the night gradually darkened, the monks gradually became nervous. Most of them stayed in their own rooms, planning to leave the city with their swords in hand if there was a slight change.

Li Fenglan looked a little relaxed.

He took Chenghuang alone and sat on the roof of the inn.

It is the early spring of the mortal world, and taking advantage of the moonlight, you can still see the unmelted white snow on the mountains not far away.

"Woo~" The dark Cheng Huang got out of the master's sleeve. It wanted to play with Li Fenglan, but as an ancient beast, it instantly felt the loneliness in Li Fenglan's eyes.

Li Fenglan stretched out her hand to touch Chenghuang's head, hugged it into her arms and said, "When I left home, I never thought that when I came back, it would be two or three thousand years later..."

"Woo~" Cheng Huang couldn't speak, but he still groaned, as if responding to Li Fenglan.

"Thousands of years are still too long for mortals, and there is no trace of the past in the city. Only the mountains in the distance, and a little shadow of childhood." He said softly, with a gentle tone. nostalgic.

Li Fenglan knew that Cheng Huang couldn't understand what she said, and even if she understood, she wouldn't respond.

But after returning to this place, he couldn't help but think of a little bit of the past.

Cheng Huang, who is an ancient beast, is not yet an adult, and it is time to grow his body. While Li Fenglan was talking, Cheng Huang was silent. Looking down, it turned out that he was lying on his lap and fell asleep.

Li Fenglan couldn't help stretching out her hand to poke the tip of Chenghuang's nose. Although its hair was dyed black by Duan Qianli, the tip of its nose was still pink and looked very cute.

"Ah-choo—" Li Fenglan's movements were too gentle, and Cheng Huang sneezed directly.

The little guy opened his eyes in a daze, and after seeing that it was his master who touched him, he rubbed his head against the back of Li Fenglan's hand again.

"Go to sleep and go to sleep."

Cheng Huang obediently closed his eyes again, this time actually snoring.

Li Fenglan couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, Duan Qianli, who was bored in the room, also came out.

He originally wanted to find something to eat in the inn, but he didn't expect that when he looked up, he saw Li Fenglan and Cheng Huang sitting on the roof.

"...Chenghuang?" Seeing this, Duan Qianli couldn't help frowning.

When he was on Miguang Mountain, Li Fenglan had been repairing the spiritual veins in the main hall, and did not often appear in front of Duan Qianli, so his feeling was not very obvious.

At this moment, he finally realized that the relationship between Li Fenglan and Chenghuang seemed a bit too good...

Although Cheng Huang looks silly, he is a real ancient beast.

Its intuition is very sensitive, and it stands to reason that it would never be so close and undefended to people other than its master.

Of course Duan Qianli remembers, who is the real owner of Chenghuang...

At this moment, Duan Qianli, who was standing on the ground, forgot what he had to do when he went out.

His eyes fell on Li Fenglan's body, and Li Fenglan's figure gradually overlapped with another person...

Li Fenglan's soul is powerful, after Duan Qianli went out. He felt the presence of the visitor.

The next moment Li Fenglan hid Cheng Huang under her sleeves and looked in the direction of Duan Qianli.

Duan Qianli couldn't see Li Fenglan's expression clearly through the curtain.

He only heard the man pause for a moment, and asked with some doubts: "Why did you come out?"

"I-"

Before Duan Qianli could reply, a burst of howling suddenly reached the ears of the two of them.

"It's a beast!" Li Fenglan frowned, he immediately jumped off the roof, quickly put Cheng Huang inside the house, and ignored Duan Qianli who hadn't finished speaking.

When he came out again, all the disciples of Tianmian Palace had already stood in the small courtyard of the inn. Even Duan Qianli, who made excuses not to go, was forcibly arrested by Zhuang Zhixia.

Zhuang Zhixia quickly glanced at the crowd to confirm that everyone was there, and then led his sword towards the outskirts of the city.

In just a few breaths, the group arrived outside the city behind the stream.

As soon as they arrived in the forest, they saw a huge beast on the sword, roaring standing in the open space far away.

Several monks looked at each other, and when they were about to raise their swords to kill the beast, Zhuang Zhixia who was standing at the front suddenly waved his hand and said, "Wait! Back up—"

Everyone stopped and retreated to the entrance of the woods.

The dense forest at night was extremely quiet, and the monks had keen senses. After they stopped, they heard an extremely chaotic sound of hooves not far away, rapidly approaching their position.

After a while, Zhuang Zhixia gritted his teeth and said, "There are many more beasts over there than we know."

Everyone fell silent.

At this moment, Li Fenglan, who had been silent for a while and had almost zero sense of presence, suddenly spoke, and he concluded softly: "It's a tide of ferocious beasts."

He couldn't be more familiar with the three words "tide of ferocious beasts".

These monks in front of them have never seen a wave of fierce beasts, but they themselves are different.

In addition to rescuing the rebels in the tide of fierce beasts, his obsession in the last life was also exposed because of a tide of fierce beasts...

"Fire, tide of beasts!" Hearing these words, someone's hand holding a sword became unsteady.

Seeing the frightened look of the monk, Duan Qianli suddenly became interested. He leaned against the tree and said, "Why, have you thought about your last words? Find a stone and carve them down, or you won't find them in a while."

The cultivator only has a golden core stage cultivation base, and it seems that he hasn't experienced a few times.

After hearing Duan Qianli's words, with a clear sound, his natal spirit sword fell to the ground.

As monks, everyone here understands what the tide of ferocious beasts means.

That Golden Core cultivator, knowing that he came to Xihou City only to deal with a few little beasts, was still grateful when he had Zhuang Zhixia with him.

Now he finally understands that he has no luck.

"Pick up the sword." Zhuang Zhixia's cold voice suddenly came from next to his ear.

The monk still stood there motionless.

"I said," Zhuang Zhixia turned around slowly, looked at him and said every word, "raise the sword."

"Senior Sister!" The monk knelt down on the ground with a plop, and he said, "We will definitely die when the tide of fierce beasts comes, why... why don't we try to be brave here, let's go first."

"Go first?" Li Fenglan suddenly repeated these two words.

Didn't he think that the monks in Tianmian Palace would be so useless after his death for only a thousand years?

Li Fenglan walked over and picked up the sword from the ground, and directly tapped the point of the sword on the monk's chest.

"If we leave, the beasts will come to slaughter the city. Do you think the lives of people in Xihou City are worthless?" Li Fenglan's tone was colder than Zhuang Zhixia's.

It was obvious that he only had the foundation-building stage, but the monk felt extremely nervous.

There was a night wind blowing from not far away, gently blowing Li Fenglan's veiled cap.

Through the moonlight, he saw that Li Fenglan's face did not have a dark purple scar as in the legend...

His chin is white and perfect like a jade carving, where does it mean that it is hideous and terrifying in the rumors?

"Still up?" Li Fenglan asked again.

The sword had already pierced the friar's tunic, obviously he wasn't joking.

Seeing this, the cultivator hurriedly struggled to stand up, and waited until he stood still. He took the long sword tremblingly from Li Fenglan's hand.

The beast's footsteps are getting closer and closer, and everyone is ready to fight.

Duan Qianli was the only one, he didn't even draw his sword, he was still leaning against the tree with his arms folded.

At that moment just now, Duan Qianli actually saw Li Fuyue's shadow on Li Fenglan's body...

Even when Li Fenglan taught the little monk a lesson, Duan Qianli couldn't help but feel moved.

…Hey! Wait what am I thinking!

Duan Qianli quickly shook his head, and threw out the messy things in his mind.

Although they are somewhat similar, they are not the same person.

My heart for Fuyue can be learned from all over the world! How could he be influenced by a little monk?

On this side Duan Qianli is still struggling with his relationship issues, while on the other side, Li Fenglan has already frowned.

"Here we come..." He slowly clenched the long sword in his hand and looked into the forest.

At the next moment, with an angry howl, a huge and ferocious beast jumped out of the forest and stood opposite the crowd.

Although they had already made good mental preparations, the monks still couldn't help becoming nervous when they saw this huge and ugly beast.

The fierce beast at the front was covered with scales, it howled at Li Fenglan who was standing in the crowd, but it didn't move for a long time.

"It...what's wrong with it?" A monk asked.

Li Fenglan didn't answer, but she already had the answer in her heart - she had the aura of Chenghuang on her body, and Chenghuang, an ancient beast, had blood to suppress them, so the beasts would not approach them for a while.

Now Li Fenglan held the sword and looked at the beast.

And at this moment, Li Fenglan suddenly sensed that something was wrong with this beast...

The eyes of this fierce beast in front of him were very chaotic, and its eyes didn't move when it looked at itself, like...a marionette, or someone sucked away its soul.

Li Fenglan had seen such a scene once before.

Thinking of that, he involuntarily clenched the long sword in his hand.

Coincidentally, the last time Li Fenglan saw a ferocious beast like this was when he lost his temper in front of the whole cultivation interface in his last life.

That was the past that Li Fenglan was most unwilling to recall except for her death.

He had been avoiding thinking about it before, but today, when he was looking at this beast, Li Fenglan's memory finally called back to that day uncontrollably.

…

At the same time, Ling Buyi, who had disappeared for many days, suddenly pushed open the main entrance of the Miguang Mountain Hall and walked in.

The moment he entered, a huge picture scroll slowly unfolded in front of him.

— This is the map of the twelve states in the world.

He rarely frowned seriously and looked at the picture scroll, looking a little anxious.

Ling's tireless gaze passed through mountains and rivers, and finally landed on a small town.

"...City after Xixi?" He opened his mouth slowly, and softly recited the name of the city.

But the next moment, he turned and left the hall.
