Poverty

The top of the mountain!

A young man was using his magical power, trying to avoid it, and was covered in blood!

This young man looks ordinary, but the spells he performs are extremely powerful.

Opposite is a man in black robe, holding a white bone flag in his hand. There are countless ghosts on this white bone flag, and the sinister wind blows.

A series of fierce ghosts rushed towards the young man from the white bone flag!

The young man used his magical powers to dodge. Not only did the man in black robe have a bone flag in his hand,

There is an ancient coin hanging in the sky. The writing on the ancient coin has been blurred.

At this time, it was like a big umbrella cover, exuding a terrifying aura, isolating the whole place!

In just a dozen rounds, the young man was in danger and had several new wounds on his body.

Especially the shoulder was bitten by a Yin spirit, tearing off a large piece of flesh and dripping with blood!

The man in black robe waved the bone flag, and the sinister wind blew.

The young man used his magical powers to dodge, but was hugged by a woman in the bone flag, and her long black hair penetrated into the young man's eyes, ears, mouth and nose!

The young man's face instantly turned purple and he was speechless.

The man in black robe has extremely strong cultivation and seems to have an extraordinary origin.

The young man was held in the woman's arms, and the dense long black hair poured into his mouth and stomach.

The whole person seemed to be wrapped up!

Life is hanging by a thread!

Suddenly!

A pale middle-aged man appeared here,

He gently raised his head and glanced at the ancient coins in the sky as big as an umbrella canopy, as well as the man in black robe holding a ghostly white bone flag.

It's the tavern owner!

After the tavern owner came here, he waved his hand gently, and the copper coin exploded into pieces in an instant.

Not only that, the bone flag in the hand of the black-robed man was also blown to pieces.

The devil with maggots on his face screamed and quickly let go of the ordinary-looking young man.

After the young man fell to the ground, he took a deep breath, his face turned purple, and he bent over and retched.

The tavern owner walked up and said calmly: "Are you okay?"

The young man looked up, with a look of shock and surprise in his eyes.

"Shopkeeper, why is it you?"

The tavern owner smiled and said: "I have been teaching you for so long, I can't just watch you die here."

This young man is Zhao Xin,

He curled his lips and said, "If I had known you were so powerful, I should have been a bully for you and learned more skills."

Zhao Xin still looked carefree.

But the tavern owner's eyes fell on Zhao Xin and said lightly: "You are not Zhao Xin."

Zhao Xin was stunned when he heard this, and laughed dumbly and said: "Shopkeeper, you are crazy, what nonsense are you talking about?"

The tavern owner frowned: "Being able to block my perception and putting so much effort into setting up such a big show, I guess my old friend is here."

Although his tone was very light, it echoed on the top of the mountain.

At this time, an old voice laughed: "As expected of Cao Yu, I am a little curious, how did you tell?"

As the words fell, the clouds and mist slowly condensed into the figure of an old man.

The old man landed and looked at the tavern owner with a half-smile.

Zhao Xin, who was opposite, was also a little curious.

Cao Yu said calmly: "You are very similar to each other. Even I can't tell it at a glance."

"It's just that Zhao Xin is a very lazy person and is easily satisfied. Even if he knows that what I teach him is a profound method, he will not be willing to learn more."

Zhao Xin, the man opposite, frowned and said with a look of astonishment: "Is it that simple? Don't you want to learn more skills after encountering danger?"

The tavern owner's face was still pale at this time. When he mentioned Zhao Xin, he couldn't help but smile.

"No, he will only scold me, and then blame me for not giving him some treasures for self-defense."

The man opposite Zhao Xin widened his eyes, and after a moment he slowly said: "I really don't know what you see in him."

The next moment, his figure slowly changed and turned into a slim young courtesan.

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Qin. No wonder this transformation technique is so fake and real."

A burly, yellow-faced man came out carrying a young man who was tied up tightly and had an extremely ugly face.

His eyebrows were rough and he frowned: "You can see this, it's really evil."

Zhao Xin, who had been imprisoned before, was finally able to speak.

I couldn't help but sneer,

"Three evil pens, you believe this, I'm obviously bluffing you!"

When the three of them heard this, they looked at Zhao Xin at the same time, and their eyes fell on the face of the pale tavern owner.

The tavern owner smiled lightly and said: "He is right, you are indeed three evil men."

Old man: "………………"

The young courtesan “……………”

The yellow-faced man: “………………”

For a moment, they couldn't tell whether what the master and disciple said was true or false.

But Cao Yu was proficient in Liujia Qimen and fortune telling. They were extremely afraid of Cao Yu in their hearts.

Even if he saw it, it wouldn't be a surprise.

Zhao Xin wanted to say something more, but the tavern owner shook his head: "It's useless. These old friends of mine want me to die, and you can't let go of your relationship with me."

Zhao Xin opened his mouth and sighed again,

"Why bother!"

The tavern owner smiled and said, "You three are indeed right. I like this guy and plan to accept him as my closed disciple."

"You dare to set up a trap for me, presumably because you think you can hide from the Martial Saint and block the secrets of heaven.

"You actually left a strong back-up force here."

The three people looked solemn, especially the old man, whose sharp eyes were fixed on Cao Yu's face.

Ever since Cao Yu revealed the oiran's transformation skills just now, they seemed to be at a disadvantage.

The old man smiled and said: "Cao Yu, you master and disciple don't need to be pretentious, but you are right about one thing. You really can't leave today."

The tavern owner smiled slightly: "Then let's fight."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head and his eyes fell on Zhao Xin.

"Don't avenge me after I die."

Zhao Xin's chest seemed to be choked, and the corners of his mouth moved, but he didn't say anything.

As soon as he finished speaking, the tavern owner appeared next to the old man and struck him with a palm!

Everyone knows that Cao Yu is not good at fighting, he is only good at deducing magical powers.

But the old man didn't dare to take it lightly. He stamped it with a palm, which contained terrifying power!

The two of them slapped each other,

boom!

A white light exploded between the two of them!

However, the white light did not escape, and the entire mountain seemed to be sealed by an ancient formation.

After Cao Yu struck the old man with a palm, he quickly disappeared.

The sallow-skinned man lowered his head and saw that what he was holding was no longer Zhao Xin, but had turned into a piece of bluestone. His expression suddenly changed.

He threw away the bluestone in his hand and glanced around with cold eyes.

Suddenly, the old man's loud cry came to my ears: "Be careful! Don't fall into his illusion!"

The yellow-faced man immediately used his magical power, and his eyes became sharp.

Just now, I threw Zhao Xin out by mistake!

He fiercely drew his sword and slashed at Zhao Xin!

Originally, I wanted to kill the young man during the battle to disturb the tavern owner's mood.

If I don’t kill him now, I’ll wait until later!

This ghost-headed sword was extremely sharp, and countless sword auras immediately enveloped Zhao Xin in it.

But the next moment, Zhao Xin's long hair suddenly flew like a big black python,

Smash these densely packed sharp knives into pieces!

"You want to kill me!"

The yellow-faced man took a closer look and saw that his sword was aimed at the oiran.

Zhao Xin was still held firmly in his hand,

The old man who shouted earlier turned out to be a fake!

This sallow-skinned, ferocious-looking yellow-faced man immediately felt how difficult Cao Yu was.

But the next moment, he was hit by someone's palm on the vest!

Bang!

The whole person flew out!

The tavern owner took the opportunity to snatch Zhao Xin away, and the powerful mana fell into Zhao Xin's body.

The speed with which he responded just now can be said to be extremely astonishing!

Zhao Xin was captured in just a moment!

Zhao Xin's hands and feet were so weak that he was held in the hands of the tavern owner. He felt the majestic magic power and instantly recovered a lot.

The old man's methods before were very sinister.

Cao Yu said calmly: "I have already captured the man. If you want to continue fighting, let's see if we can recruit the Martial Saint!"

The yellow-faced man was frightened and angry at this time: "If you call me, I will call you. The end of the Martial Saint's life is approaching. The worst is to give him a ride!"

Cao Yu said calmly: "That's a lot louder. If you are not afraid of the Martial Saint, are you not afraid of the young Taoist priest who killed the gods?"

When the yellow-faced man heard this, his heart suddenly sank!

Nine heavenly beings came to the capital one after another, but they were all killed by the young Taoist priest.

Who can not be afraid of such a person?

The next moment, a sharp sword light came through the air and slashed directly towards his lower back.

The yellow-faced man's heart sank, and he blocked it with his sword!

The sword energy and the sword light collided together, immediately smashing the mountaintop into pieces. For a moment, gravel flew and sand flew!

He turned around and saw that it was the young courtesan, who gave a cold shout:

"Cao Yu, you are dead!"

"…………"

The yellow-faced man took a deep breath:

“You slutty bitch, you’ll hit me when you’re right!”

Although they were all in the formation at this time, they were still unable to avoid being affected by Cao Yu's spells.

When the old man saw this, he knew something was wrong, and immediately took out the jade seal of the Emperor of Great Xia in his hand.

The jade seals were in all directions, falling into the eye of the aerial formation and disappearing without a trace. Then the eyes of the three of them became much clearer, and they were no longer affected by Cao Yu's illusion.

Cao Yu held the magic formula with both hands, and the sounds of dragons and tigers roared.

Dragon and tiger meet!

A three-foot long sword immediately hovered above the old man's head!

The old man's heart sank, and his figure suddenly turned into smoke and disappeared.

The next moment, it appeared a hundred feet away,

The three of them worked together to surround and kill Cao Yu!

The old man once caught Zhao Xin with his own hands and knew how difficult it was to deal with the Six-Armored Qimen in his hands, so he immediately chanted the magic formula.

Zhao Xin's eyes next to Cao Yu suddenly turned cold, and he struck Cao Yu's abdomen with a palm!

Originally, with his level, Cao Yu couldn't hurt him even if he stood there.

But at this moment, Zhao Xin seemed to have a furnace in his palm.

Exploded violently!

boom!

Cao Yu's lower abdomen felt as if he had been struck by lightning, blood immediately dripped from his abdomen, and his face became increasingly pale!

He had just checked that Zhao Xin was definitely real, and there was no soul spell in his body that was controlled by anyone.

At this time, this kind of change still happened!

Zhao Xin succeeded with one blow, and the cold look in his eyes instantly dissipated.

He looked at the shopkeeper's bloody abdomen, then looked at his palms,

"Damn it!"

"What on earth did you do to me!"

Zhao Xin was shocked and angry. Cao Yu pressed his finger lightly and Zhao Xin couldn't move.

"It's okay, just a minor injury."

Cao Yu wanted to use Liujia Qimen to hide Zhao Xin, at least he would no longer be controlled by these three people, and he would find a way to deal with it calmly in the future.

But at this time, a ray of light flashed, and Zhao Xin's figure still stayed in place.

Cao Yu, who was proficient in deduction, frowned and looked at the three of them.

The old man smiled faintly, and when he turned his palm, a volume of decree appeared.

"If I hadn't invited the decree, it would be really difficult to deal with you today!"

His tone suddenly became cold,

The next moment, a sharp sword light emerged from above his head, containing divine power!

Cao Yu's eyes darkened.

No wonder these three people are so confident that they can escape their own deductions and perceptions.

It turns out that an immortal took action in this matter!

This sword light shot out of the air, penetrated Cao Yu's chest, and exploded behind Cao Yu!

A blood hole appeared on Cao Yu's back, and his face became paler.

These three people have been planning for a long time, how could they let master and apprentice Cao Yu leave!

At this time, Zhao Xin's face quickly aged, from a young man to a middle-aged man, and then to a decrepit old man. His teeth fell out and his skin became dry.

Soon it turned into a handful of loess!

Cao Yu's eyes were about to burst, and his magic power was almost out of control.

The next moment, he realized,

"Hurtful Spell!"

He turned around and looked,

The oiran's eyes sparkled and he smiled sweetly: "That's right, your reaction is rather quick."

Zhao Xin, a monster who could have made great achievements in the world, was extremely talented.

But because of the cause and effect involved in the land gods, his soul was driven away!

Cao Yu's body, which had always been a little rickety, suddenly straightened up.

"You three, damn it!"

The words fell.

His figure dissipated and disappeared in this world.

The old man sacrificed the immortal decree, and the divine light swept across, revealing Cao Yu's figure.

"After all, the immortals on earth have never been to the immortal world and have not been baptized by the immortal light!"

"Cao Yu, this is where you will die!"

These three people are all land gods, and they have deployed powerful means here.

Although Cao Yu was proficient in Liujia Qimen, he got entangled with him and ended up dying there.

Both the master and the disciples perished.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

The next moment, he took action like lightning, fighting for Cao Yu's body.

However, several people tore the body into pieces and found no storage magic weapon.

"Cao Yu is good at deductions and extremely cunning. He will not leave any benefit to us even if he dies."

The yellow-faced man cursed.

The old man was extremely jealous of Cao Yu's Liujia Qimen. Although he killed the master and apprentice, he gained nothing at this time and felt a little disappointed.

The formation here is extremely mysterious, and the entire mountain peak forms a world of its own.

The fight between the three did not attract the Martial Saint's prying eyes.

This can be said to be extremely beautifully done.

The old man took a long breath and couldn't help but smile.

This feels right!

Strategize!

………………

Weicheng, Taiping Inn,

Li Yanchu was drinking tea on the second floor.

Suddenly a traveler came on horseback and stopped in front of the Taiping Inn.

As soon as he entered the inn, he said in a deep voice: "May I ask where Director Li is?"

Guy Zhang San glanced at him: "What do you do?"

Jianghu Ke said in a deep voice: "I have been entrusted by someone to tell Daoist Master Li something important!"

At this time, a drinker next to him said with a smile: "Opposite is Qingyun Temple. This man is definitely blind."

There are all three religions and nine streams in Taiping Inn: Jianghu people, practitioners, and scholars.

At this time, there was a lot of excitement, and some of the drinkers were booing without fear.

The Jianghu guest turned to look at the Qingyun Temple built in the busy city, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

This blue cloud looks solid, but the incense is sparse and the doors are empty.

Just as he was about to leave, a rich and handsome young Taoist priest walked down from the corner of the second floor.

"Are you looking for me?"

The Jianghu guest clasped his fists and said, "I'm Hong Yingsheng. I have something important to do and I want to see Master Li of Qingyun Temple!"

Li Yanchu was drinking tea on the second floor when he saw this gangster rushing towards him.

It got extremely noisy downstairs.

I thought about coming down to take a look, and happened to hear this person looking for him.

He said calmly: "I am Li Yanchu, what do you want?"

Guy Zhang San also said: "Yes, this is Daozhang Li."

The Jianghu guest glanced around and said softly: "Daozhang Li, this matter is a bit secretive. Can you take a step to speak?"

Li Yanchu nodded and invited the stranger up to the second floor.

In the elegant room on the second floor, the Jianghu guest drank the hot tea in one gulp. He was already extremely exhausted after riding hundreds of miles on horseback.

He took out a baggage and handed it to Li Yanchu: "This is something someone asked me to give to the Taoist Priest. The Taoist Priest will understand it at a glance."

Li Yanchu opened the bag and took a look and found an old piece of clothing and a hand warmer inside.

Li Yanchu raised his head and looked at the Jianghu guest: "Who asked you to come? What else did he say?"

Jianghu Ke didn't hide anything: "He is a tavern manager. My wife is seriously ill. This shopkeeper Cao knows how to treat illnesses and saved my wife's life."

"He gave me this baggage and asked me to enshrine his longevity tablet at home. He said that one day the tablet would crack, so he asked me to send this baggage to the Taiping Inn in Weicheng to find a Taoist priest Li!"

"Shopkeeper Cao?"

Li Yanchu thought about it and realized that he didn't know this person.

After the Jianghu guest left, Li Yanchu took a closer look at the old clothes and the hand warmer.

There is divine light in his eyes, and he can see the clues after scanning it.

"What a clever deception."

Li Yanchu waved his hand, and the clothes and the hand warmer turned into an ancient jade slip and a thin piece of paper.

"It's so mysterious, who did this?"

Li Yanchu raised his eyebrows. He didn't check the ancient immortal jade slip first, but picked up the thin paper.

The paper contains messages from three people. It is said that these three people worked for the immortals, and it was them who opened the demonic realm.

"Nanyouzi, Han Tao, Qin Pan'er"

Li Yanchu murmured to himself, looking at the pieces of paper in his hand, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Who specifically sent me a summons and used such a roundabout way?"

He raised an eyebrow.

The ancient immortal jade slips record a great magical power.

Liujia Qimen.

Liujia is the art of controlling gods and ghosts, while Qimen is the art of deducing fortune-telling and all kinds of mysterious magic.

"It's a gift of immortality and a message."

"I will order someone to send it to him after his immortal tablet is broken."

There was a look of thought in Li Yanchu's eyes,

"The broken tablet of longevity does it mean that there was something wrong with this person, and someone came to report it after his death."

"That is, he didn't dare to see me, or he didn't want to see me when he was alive."

"If this person also practices Liujia Qimen, he will also deduce fortune-telling and mention the names of these three people...does he want to use my hands to kill people and avenge him?"

Li Yanchu's eyes suddenly became sharp.
