Chapter 5 Peach Blossom Demon

In the morning light, a clear and shallow river meanders from west to east around the entrance of the village and flows into the distance.

A few young women by the river were washing clothes while chatting.

In the fields, many villagers were plowing or watering.

Under the big banyan tree in the village, a group of children were playing, while a few old men chatted while rolling tobacco, while watching over them.

There is smoke from the roofs of every household, and the smell of food is wafting.

In this scene, a scholar in green shirt and a girl in a green dress with a small bookcase on her back and a fine leaf imprint on her forehead walked over from the west end of the village.

These two are exactly Li Xiangjun and Xiaoqianjun who left the academy.

That day when he rode the long wind, it was Li Goyi who deliberately teased the old man, but after he got down the mountain, he still followed what his master said, read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles.

After flying out of the familiar area of ​​the small town at the foot of the mountain, he dispersed the wind frame and led Xiao Qianjun on foot.

Today, it has been seven days since I left the academy, and I have traveled several hundred miles eastward.

Seeing a stranger entering the village, the children playing immediately ran over, but when they saw Mr. Xiaoqian's strange appearance, they were all scared away and hid behind their grandfathers.

"Young man, are you... a Confucian scholar?"

After all, there was an old man who had gone outside when he was young. He had some knowledge and recognized Li Xiangyi's Confucian attire.

I also guessed that Mr. Xiaoqian was his patriarch who followed the little elves, not the monsters into the village.

"Yes, old man. Dare I ask, this is Xiuxia Village. Is there a Xiufeng Ridge ahead?"

"That's right, it's Xiuxia Village, Mr. Xiaolang, are you going to Xiufeng Ridge?"

"Yes, we are going to the east, we have to pass Xiufengling."

As soon as Li Goyi answered, the expressions of all the villagers present, whether they were old men or children, changed drastically.

"Old man, is there something wrong?"

"Xiao Langjun, don't dare to go to Xiufeng Ridge."

"Why is this?"

"There is a monster! There is a big monster on Xiufeng Ridge. It is very scary and wants to eat people!" A child rushed to answer.

The other children also echoed loudly: "Yes, there are monsters with green faces and fangs, very scary."

"Big mouth, you can swallow a whole cow in one bite!"

"If you go over there, you will be eaten together!"

Li Xiangyi and Xiao Qianjun looked at each other, and finally asked the old man just now: "Excuse me, old man, is there really such a thing?"

The old man nodded: "Yes."

"What kind of monster is it?"

"Peach Blossom Demon!"

"Peach Blossom Demon?"

"Yes, it's the Peach Blossom Demon!"

The old man is very determined.

Li Goyi and Xiaoqianjun walked aside to discuss.

"Eldest brother, I'm a little scared." Xiao Qianjun said timidly.

Li Xiangyi was a little funny: "You are a little monster yourself, are you still afraid of monsters?"

"I'm afraid." Xiao Qianjun nodded sincerely.

She is just a weak grass, without blue-faced fangs, nor a big mouth, and she has never been down a mountain before.

"Okay, let me think about it."

After having breakfast in the village, Li Goyi finally decided to continue to Xiufengling.

After all, if you bypass it, you will have to walk dozens of miles.

Xiufeng Ridge is five miles away from Xiuxia Village, and there is an increasingly deserted horse road, which leads to the east through the back of the ridge.

This horse path used to be an official road, but it was abandoned for some reason. Since the peach blossom demon hovered on the mountain, no one dared to go on it.

Many places have been covered by weeds, and many wild flowers have bloomed.

Li Xiangyi walks leisurely and leisurely, as if he is on an outing.

But Xiaoqianjun held onto the hem of his clothes tightly, not daring to stay away for a moment, and kept looking around with big eyes from time to time, fearing that the peach blossom demon would jump out at any time.

Seeing her nervous appearance, Li Gouan smiled without saying a word, and let her go.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes.

Looking back, I saw three or four riding fast horses galloping in this direction.

"Call-"

When they arrived in front of Li Goyi, the leading man reined in his horse and stopped.

The other three riders also stopped together.

"This little gentleman, is he a scholar of Confucianism?" The man asked Li Xiangyi and Xiaoqianjun with a glance.

"Yes, brother, what advice do you have?" Li Xiangyi replied, also looking at the other party.

I saw this man in his early thirties, tall and majestic, with bright eyes and undisturbed momentum, he is a martial artist of four realms that can be counted in the ordinary world.

The one behind him was a woman in red, her eyebrows were somewhat similar to the leading man's, her temperament was also sassy and sharp, and there were several throwing knives pinned to her waist.

The remaining two riders were one thin and the other fat, and both had awe-inspiring auras.

All four of them have a badge of "Slaying Demons with a Sword" tattooed on their chests, and they should be a team of demon hunters.

Sure enough, as soon as the voice fell, the leading man immediately clasped his fists and said: "Guo Hengbei, the monster catcher in Hengzhou, the Great Wei Dynasty, these three are sister Nanjun, Wei Lun, the fast swordsman, and Feng Gu, the axeman. I have seen Mr. Xiaolang .”

Guo Nanjun, the woman in red, Wei Lun, the fast swordsman, and Feng Gu, the axeman, all followed suit.

Confucianism is the top of the hundred schools of the three religions, the most prominent school in the world, besides its theory of classics and righteousness spread across the nine continents, it is also the most powerful in the whole world.

So when they saw that Li Xiangyi was really a Confucian scholar, they were very polite.

Li Xiangyi also bowed in return: "Brother, you are welcome, Hanshan Academy Li Xiangyi, I have met you all!"

Hearing "Hanshan Academy", the four of Guo Hengbei's faces showed a strange look, but after seeing that he had only one realm, they quickly returned to calm.

There is only one realm, and it must be the lower court of Hanshan Academy, not the cultivation geniuses of the upper court.

The surrounding countries of Hanshan Academy all know that the aristocrats and heroes of the upper academy will only go down the mountain to study when they reach the fifth realm.

"Mr. Li, there is a big peach blossom monster in Xiufeng Ridge in front of you. It is extremely ferocious. You should rest by the side of the road and wait for us to eliminate it before crossing the ridge." Guo Hengbei reminded kindly.

"Are you going to get rid of the Peach Blossom Demon?"

"Exactly, we accepted the reward offered by Mr. Zhang's family in Yuyang County, and vowed to kill him today, so as to comfort the countless people who were harmed by him."

Li Xiangyi lazily cupped his hands: "Okay, thank you Guo Daxia."

Guo Hengbei nodded, and rode his horse to lead the monster hunting team away.

After a while, Wei Lun, a skinny man with a sharp sword, rode back and handed a bouquet of beautiful wild flowers to Mr. Xiaoqian, and said with a smile, "Little girl, this flower is for you."

Xiaoqianjun was stunned for a moment, but still took the flowers with both hands, "Oh, thank you, big brother, my name is Qianjun!"

"Good name, see you again, Xiaoqianjun!"

The thin man galloped away in the dust.

Feng Gu, the fat man holding the axe, also kept looking at Mr. Xiaoqian until his companion returned, and then chased after the Guo brothers and sisters in front.

……

About three quarters of an hour later, the team of demon hunters finally arrived at the peak of Xiufeng Ridge.

It is worthy of being called Xiufeng Ridge. The peak is surrounded by white clouds and the scenery is beautiful.

At the place where the white clouds are flying away, there is a huge peach grove.

At this time, the peach blossoms are blooming brightly and pinkly.

Under the flowering branches, a delicate girl in pink is bending over to weed.
