Journey to the head

Chapter 21 The snake demon appears
The white jade flying boat landed in front of the rattan cage. Lu Qian and Jiang Qingfeng came down. Baitao had been hidden far away by them.

"We are monks passing by. Who are you? Why do you feed children to wolves? This is not a decent thing to do. If you don't explain clearly, I will report it to the Golden Elixir Sect in charge of this place!"

Seeing Lu Qian with an angry look on his face and taking the lead, Senior Brother Fang and others were stagnant, wondering how they had attracted such a stupid young man.

Senior Sister Chen reacted very quickly: "What this Taoist friend doesn't know is that there is a snake demon causing trouble here. We have made several attempts to suppress the snake demon and returned without success. The local villagers suffered heavy casualties. They took the initiative to use children as bait to catch the snake demon." Come out. We couldn't bear it anymore and were ready to wait for an opportunity to rescue. Unexpectedly, the snake demon didn't come, but a few wolves came. Just as we were about to take action, we happened to meet fellow Taoists."

Jiang Qingfeng secretly cursed for being shameless, and then heard Lu Qian say with an upright face: "As a monk, you should protect the safety of the people in your territory. Even if the people volunteer themselves, it is absolutely unacceptable. Otherwise, how can we be called a righteous monk? ?”

Senior Brother Fang and others sneered in their hearts. It seemed that this man and woman were just fledglings who were inexperienced in the world, and it was best to be fooled.

First Xuanjizi wanted to stop him, but now he was caught by a passing monk. The original plan was no longer possible.Senior Sister Chen's mind changed and she said with a smile: "That's exactly what happened. Thank you two fellow Taoists for taking action, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. But the snake demon harms people and must be eliminated. Can the two fellow Taoists lend a helping hand, let's eradicate it together. Snake?"

Sure enough, Lu Qian said loudly: "It is our duty to kill demons."

Xuanjizi said nothing at the side, his eyes kept wandering on Lu Qian.

Several people exchanged names.Lu Gan called himself Qi Kun and was going down the mountain with his senior sister to practice. It was inconvenient to reveal the sect. Jiang Qingfeng also made up He Banxia's name.The people opposite were Fang Lingkong, Chen Xingshan, Zhang Jiu, and Li Huan, all disciples of the Shengyi Sect, the lord here.There are two late stages of Qi training and two middle stages of Qi training.

When Xuanjizi was introduced, Lu Gan asked puzzledly: "Senior, why are you always staring at me?"

Xuanjizi laughed: "It's nothing, I just like you."

Lu Qian was wary, secretly wondering if his disguise had slipped through and his identity had been revealed.But seeing that Xuanjizi didn't do anything, he suppressed his thoughts for the time being.

I heard Chen Xingshan say: "This snake demon has not yet transformed and cannot speak. It seems that it is in the late stage of Qi training. It has not yet been completed and the crossbones in the throat have not been refined. In fact, the big snake in the mountain is causing trouble. It has been passed down for more than ten years, but the most it did was drag away livestock, and it was not until recently that it began to eat people, especially children. My master said that this is because of insufficient spiritual energy, so it cannot be promoted and can only supplement it with blood food... Fellow Taoist He?"

But she saw that Jiang Qingfeng didn't listen much, but walked straight to the rattan cage, released the child, and comforted him gently.Slowly the children stopped crying.

Fang Lingkong secretly cursed trouble in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Fellow Daoist He knows how to coax children. We will send these dolls home after a while to save their parents from worrying."

Chen Xingshan continued: "Originally, although the snake demon in the late stage of Qi training was physically powerful, it was no match for the monks. But things changed because of the barren mountain in front of us. There is no grass growing on this mountain, only jagged rocks, and no one has ever cared about it. I After the disciples in the sect took action, the snake demon fled back to the mountain. The disciples continued to chase, but were blocked by a large formation and could not enter. This time they invited senior Xuanjizi who was good at formations, hoping to break the formation and kill the snake demon. , and bring peace to the people."

Xuanjizi snorted coldly and took a step forward: "There is a formation suddenly in this barren mountain, which is unusual. I guess it was left by the casual cultivator who used to hide here, but it was accidentally obtained by the snake demon. But the demon is ignorant, An Can you use the secrets of the formation? It just relies on the changes in the formation itself. It is certainly not difficult to break the formation. I came to help you for the sake of your master, old man Zhao Cang. I'll take care of all your bad ideas. , don’t disturb me from breaking the formation.”

After saying this, Fang Lingkong and others blushed, and thinking that they could only rely on this old man now, they suppressed it hard.

Xuanjizi shook his head and walked forward, and several people quickly followed him.At this moment, the fog was getting thicker and thicker, blurring everything beyond an arm's length.Warnings blared in Lu Qian's heart, the Niwan Palace was beating, and his consciousness spread out like threads, floating in the mist.

He said in a deep voice: "Senior sister, please send these children back first. Then go find your junior sister to help."

When Jiang Qingfeng heard what he said, she already understood in her heart that Lu Gan felt that this place was dangerous and asked him to go to Baitao to protect him.She whispered to Lu Gan to be careful, then took the children and flew away in a jade boat.

Fang Lingkong and Chen Xingshan looked at each other and thought it would be nice to have an extra helper, so they didn't care and continued on.

The mountain was full of boulders and was difficult to navigate. After only a few dozen steps, the team gradually pulled into a straight line. The leader was Xuan Jizi, in the middle were a few people from Shengyimen, and Lu Gan was at the back.He had already grasped the Starlight Needle, had the Spirit Turtle Shield on his waist, and carried some talismans and elixirs in his arms.

Xuanjizi was walking at the front, a small green flag in his hand was fluttering and shaking, and his spiritual consciousness was reaching out of his body, carefully groping for the boundaries of the formation.

Suddenly, his expression moved, but instead of touching the formation, he vaguely sensed some movement.Just as he was about to make a detailed distinction, he heard Lu Gan at the end of the team shout: "Be careful, something is coming! Northwest!"

Xuanjizi said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not sure what you're yelling about -"

Suddenly, he looked to the northwest in surprise, and something was indeed coming.

what happened?This guy's consciousness is faster and wider than mine?
Fang Lingkong and others were stunned. They looked to the northwest, where there was only a calm mist.Chen Xingshan said dissatisfiedly: "Fellow Daoist Qi, don't be surprised. We won't even notice it in the late stage of Qi training. You can just follow us honestly in the middle stage."

The thing stopped and turned.

Lu Gan nodded honestly, and everyone continued to move forward.

It seems that although the snake demon cannot speak human words, it can understand it, and he can no longer make a sound.

Although I am not ashamed of the people of the Shengyi Sect, the situation of the snake demon is unknown at the moment, and they still need their fighting power, but I cannot let them die in vain.

True north, northeast, and true east, making a big arc, getting closer and closer, coming here!
Lu Gan raised his hand and shot out a needle, which flew past Zhang Jiu's cheek.Zhang Jiu was startled and was about to get angry when suddenly a fishy smell came from behind him. He turned around in shock and saw a huge mouth with sharp fangs poking out from the thick fog and biting his head.

That bit of starlight, impartially, sank into the giant mouth of the snake demon and came out from the lower jaw!

The giant snake roared in pain, tilted its head, and disappeared into the thick fog.

At this time, a green flag just flew over and flew into the air.

Slower than him?Xuanjizi couldn't help being stunned.

Zhang Jiu was shaking like chaff, with a grateful expression on his face, and was about to speak.Just listen to Lu Qian shout: "Be careful, we haven't left yet!"

There was a crash, gravel flew, and a dark green snake's tail shot out, tying Zhang Jiu upright and dragging him into the thick fog.
