The heavy rain never stopped, as if the sky had been poked into a hole, and the endless rain and waterfalls hit the world.

Holding an umbrella, half of his body was soaked with a soaked food box, and knocked on the door of the guest room. Without waiting for an answer to come from inside, he pushed the door and walked in.

In the guest room, the spirit stone lamp was still lit up on the table. The runes on the lamp were worn out to some extent. The light emitted was actually not much stronger than the candle oil lamp. It was just that these things must be used in the guarded house to maintain its temperament.

Under the light, Lu Ning was sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking west, lying on the table and copying a talisman with a pen. When they saw Zhou Qing pushing the door, they were slightly shocked.

"It's so late and I'm still working hard. Are the three of you really?

There is another guy?"

Zhou Qing glanced at her eyes and seemed not to see Zhang Hongzheng.

"Xiao Zhang has been tired all the way and has already fallen asleep."

Lu Ning pointed at the head.

Only then did Zhou Qing see another quilt bulge on the bed, and a uniform and subtle snoring sound came from the regular waves.

But there happened to be a corner where the spirit stone lamp could not be illuminated. It was dark and could not be seen clearly.

"Oh, that's right. The lord asked me to bring food and drinks to the three heroes. The three of them have suffered a lot along the way."

Zhou Qing put the food box on the table with a smile.

"It's been a labor."

Lu Ning raised his hand and bowed.

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

Zhou Qing smiled.

His eyes turned, as if hesitating for a moment, and then said, "To be honest, I heard the adventures of the three righteous men here just now, and I was also excited and sweating from my back. I didn't expect that there would be such evil and dangerous wandering cultivators in our Tian family territory.

But the guy Zhang said it just now too briefly, I want to hear the details of it." "What do you want to hear?"

Lu Ning looked at him with a strange look.

"This. Actually, it's not me who listens to it. It's also an adult who wants to know what the old cultivator looks like.

If he comes to Qinghe Town, we will be better prepared.”

Lu Ning thought for a while and said, "Well, the old monster's appearance is nothing surprising. It's about seven feet long, with short beards and a little shriveled. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary old farmer and mountaineer." "Oh, so that's it."

Zhou Qing nodded, his eyes twitched. Although his expression was still smiling, it seemed particularly stiff and distorted under the light.

He suddenly turned around, walked two steps in the room and turned around, his eyes blankly as if he was thinking, and seemed a little panicked. Finally, he let out a long sigh, and the smile on his face became stronger and stiffer.

"Okay, since it's so late and all three are tired, I won't delay the rest of the three."

He nodded at Lu Ning with that stiff and distorted smile, and Zhou Qing walked out with an umbrella.

Somehow, he seemed a little unconscious. He didn't think of holding up the umbrella until he was poured in the heavy rain. His steps were staggering and impatient, and soon disappeared in the rain.

"Hu" It was not until this time that I looked west and let out a long sigh.

Since Zhou Qing walked in, he has been tense of his face and body. Fortunately, he has no words or expressions at other times, so it doesn't seem strange.

“It’s very dangerous, it’s very dangerous.

I almost thought I had been discovered.”

"Don't worry, if this level is passed, at least they will not come again before tomorrow."

Lu Ning also let out a breath and then went up and lifted the quilt.

There was no Zhang Hongzheng in the quilt, only two talismans were attached. One arched the quilt into a constantly undulating human shape, and the other cloaked clothes stuck on the pillow kept shaking slightly, making a sound very similar to snoring.

These are all low-level talismans that are not as good as the level. Cultivators from aristocratic families may not be exposed to them in their entire lives, but they can play a lot of tricks in the hands of casual cultivators who run around the world.

"I don't know Xiao Zhang." Xiwang stopped talking.

“I hope he can leave by himself.

Now there are more than three hours before Tianming, and he can run at least a hundred miles away. Even if the Tian family sends people to chase him, he should be able to return to Nangong to take him safely."

After a few breaths of silence, Lu Ning took out Shiyi in his arms and looked at it. On this gadget made by the Mo family, the light of the spirit stone was falling on the hour of Hai.

In this harsh environment where the sky is gone, why is this kind of mechanism reliable?

"Actually, it was the two of us who dragged him down.

Now that we are here to hold on, he will definitely be able to return to Nangong to take him.

As long as we report the matter here to the Nangong family, even if we die here, someone will definitely come to seek justice for us."

Xiwang didn't answer, but just stared at the talisman on the table, as if he wanted to see two holes in the talisman. After a while, a sentence came out: "He won't leave."

Zhang Hongzheng did not leave.

He was now lying on the roof and slowly moving forward.

In this heavy rain, he felt that he was almost swimming in the water, and even breathing had to raise his head, otherwise he would be poured into his nose by the converged rainwater.

But this is a good thing. In such an environment, people's perception of the environment has been weakened to the extreme. As long as they are not shining with light at close range, they are almost impossible to detect.

As soon as he looked up slightly on the roof, he could see the lights everywhere in the guard house.

Of course he won't leave.

Even now it is almost certain that the old monster is from the Tian family, and it is very likely that he is lurking in the Tian family mansion, Zhang Hongzheng doesn't think they are going to turn around and run away like a frightened bird.

The old monster was seriously injured before and was also infected with the wood poison of the Tengsnake beast. Even if there is any spiritual medicine from the Tian family, it is impossible to cure it in a short time. It would be better to use the heavy rain to find out what happened.

Although Zhang Hongzheng is young, he has never been very courageous.

He didn't feel afraid, but he didn't know whether it was born, or his wild growth since childhood, or the impression that the figure walking on the sword in the sky many years ago gave him. No matter how great the danger was, he had a sense of fearlessness and unrestrainedness in his heart.

Moreover, as early as in Leshan Village, he heard the Great Wall defenders say that when facing danger, the more afraid he is, the more he will die. Referring to the years of wandering cultivating, he deeply agrees with this.

After discovering that the old monster was actually a member of the Tian family, the ordinary cautious and timid cultivator might instinctively escape at the first time, but he felt that it was a great advantage to be able to find the truth first. With the help of heavy rain falling from the sky, he quietly found some evidence in the Tian family's mansion. Even if he turned back to Nangong to sue the case in the future, he would not be unfounded.

Those ghost immortals in the big city are always paying attention to the magic arrays and puppets, and beware of some casual cultivators and people from hostile families. But judging from the dilapidated scene of Qinghe Town, let alone magic arrays and puppets, guarding Tian Ji may be the only ghost immortal cultivator with a pretty good realm. It is impossible for him to monitor them personally.

There were not many places in the mansion where lights were lit, and Zhang Hongzheng soon discovered his target.

It was a rather spacious and bright house. The spirit stone lamp inside was obviously not the kind of rags they used for. It illuminated the shadows of one standing and the other sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Zhang Hongzheng gently crawled over the roof, and looked inside from the branches in the corner. He saw Tian Ji, the guardian of Qinghe Town, before, who was the person standing.

The other person sitting cross-legged on the ground was covered in black and blood, looking like a half-charred flesh and blood skeleton. There was a very familiar long knife in front of him. It was indeed the old monster who drank human blood.

The old monster appeared here, and was with the guard of the Tian family, which was as expected by Zhang Hongzheng.

There were many scattered corpses thrown on the ground in this big house, all of which were dry like branches, and some limbs were thrown out of the door. The hand that was taken away by the fat cat should be one of them.

In addition to these dry and weird corpses, there was a tied man lying in the corner. He looked intact for the time being, but he was motionless and did not know how to live or die.

At this time, the old monster seemed to have spoken something to Tian Ji. Tian Ji waved his hand and circled around the air, condensed his breath and spirit, and then bursts of flames emanated from his palm. He then slapped his hand on the old monster, and a raging fire suddenly appeared on the old monster.

In the fire, the old monster's flesh curled up in waves, and the muscles on his face were twitching, obviously enduring great pain.

But Zhang Hongzheng knew that this was not Tian Ji attacking the old monster, but on the contrary, it was removing the wood poison left by the Tengsnake beast for the old monster.

To eliminate the poisonous power of wood, directly using fire spells is the roughest but most effective method, as long as the physical body can withstand it.

Sure enough, after a few breaths, the old monster's body shook, shook Tian Ji's palm open, and the flames on his body were extinguished.

He let out a long breath, and seemed to be much more relaxed.

The old monster has obviously come to the Tian family mansion for a long time, and it is obviously not the first time such treatment. From this point of view, the poison of the Tengser beast on his body is much heavier than Zhang Hongzheng and Lu Ning thought.

This way, removing the poison is quite harmful to the body. I think the Tian family has prepared a lot of medicines and healing talismans. Otherwise, the old monster would not be able to withstand the martial arts skills by relying on himself.

But after the flames were used to remove poison, Tian Ji guard did not take out any spiritual medicine or talismans, but instead brought the person in the corner and placed it in front of the old monster.

The old monster pulled out the long sword on the ground and slashed it. The man was cut into two pieces in half. The man's hands and feet suddenly twitched, and his body, which was divided into two pieces, was trembling and twisting, but he couldn't make any sound. It turned out that this man was still alive, but he didn't know what method to use to control it, and he couldn't even scream.

Then the old monster grabbed the two limbs of the man tightly, took a deep breath, and the blood gushed out from the section, and was sucked into his mouth like a whale. The limbs of the man quickly shriveled down, turning exactly like the dry corpse all over the ground.

After doing this, the old monster's expression relaxed a little again. It could be seen that his scorched skin had fallen off, and fresh pink skin was exposed below.

Seeing this strange scene, Zhang Hongzheng's pupils suddenly shrank.

Although he had seen this old monster sucking out the blood from Fang Yuan's corpse in the woods, he and Lu Ning simply thought that he was simply crazy and fed with human blood. The method of squeezing blood was just an internal force at the level of transformation. As for what he said later that human blood was poisonous, he was talking nonsense simply to attract the attention of the old monster. The old monster said that human blood was just a crazy nonsense.

But until now he saw it, he really believed that the old monster in the Tian family had practiced something evil. He was really using human blood as a spiritual medicine to nourish the body and practice martial arts.

Thinking back to the skeletons like a hill in the cave of the Tengsnake beast, Zhang Hongzheng even had goose bumps all over his body. He didn't know how many people this old monster had eaten in order to practice martial arts over the years.

At this time, Tian Ji and the old monster in the room were talking to each other, and at first they were calm. Then Tian Ji's expression seemed to become a little anxious and his voice became louder, as if he was arguing with the old monster, but the sound of his words was covered by the sound of rain.

Although Zhang Hongzheng knew it was dangerous, he couldn't help but feel curiosity in his heart and crawled forward along the wall, until he reached the wall on the side of the house, and put his ears close to the window, and finally heard the voices of the two of them.

"Uncle, where can I find ten more people for you at this time?

These are ten people, not ten chickens! It’s all five people here that I have thought about secretly tied up.

After the rain tomorrow, there will definitely be another townspeople coming to complain.

If you catch ten more people, you might be found. "This is Tian Ji's anxious voice.

Then the old monster said in a somewhat hoarse and shriveled voice: "I discovered it when I discovered it, but as usual, I pushed it to the smuggled cultivators.
To be continued...
