Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

Chapter 352 The Ancient Country That Never Sleeps
"Is this the secret of this ring..."

There was a flash of light in his eyes, and after receiving the message from the bronze ring, Qi Xiu showed a strange emotion.

"I roughly understand the causes and consequences of this so-called inheritance. How about it? Do you want to go together?"

Rubbing the bronze ring on his thumb, Qi Xiu extended an invitation to Li Jiufang.

"No, my cultivation is completely useless now, I'm just a mortal. The place where the Demon Eater Sect is inherited is probably very dangerous. If you take me there, you will be bringing a burden with you.

What's more, I'm not very interested in the Demon Eater Sect. "

Li Jiufang spread her hands and said frankly.

After changing his appearance and being reborn, he is no longer Wu Qiu'an of the Wu family, but Li Jiufang who has been reborn.

In the future, he will do something he really likes and has been thinking about.

"It seems that you plan to stay in Qinlong Province?"

But the number of demons and evil cultivators is smaller, and the people are more stable.

"Be careful on the road."

After spitting out a mouthful of brownish red cigarette residue, the old man raised his drooped eyelids and scratched his neck:
“Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry.

I plan to take part in the official examination in a few days. "

Qi Xiu nodded slightly and waved his hand.

Whenever the sun shines, the shadow of the mountain ridge lengthens, as if dragon scales flicker in the light and shadow, revealing a trace of ancient and powerful atmosphere.

Only a few shirtless men who were loading and unloading living animals at the gate of the market town were left, looking stunned.

Turning around with a puff of sleeves, Li Jiufang walked away, and within a few breaths she was lost in the crowded streets.

Knowing Li Jiufang's future plans, Qi Xiu took the light and took him back to the southern part of Qinlong Province.

However, the Qinlong Province is not bad, although the climate and environment are slightly worse than that of Yunnan and Sichuan.

Having clearly planned his path, Li Jiufang took a deep breath and stretched greatly.

Putting away the talisman, Li Jiufang bowed her hands to Qi Xiu with a serious face:

……

"Everyone has his own way, little plum. I hope you can be a good official who seeks peace for the people in the future."

Although he has lost his cultivation level, Li Jiufang is still Li Jiufang.

On the undulating loess plateau, the high and raised ridges look like the backs of dragons sleeping underground.

The Yunnan and Sichuan provinces are now being reshuffled, and the power of the feudal government offices and the Gao family may penetrate into every corner.

But compared to many other major provinces, it is still relatively peaceful.

With a faint smile, Qi Xiu slowly took a step back. His figure suddenly became pale and insubstantial, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.

Therefore, although Qinlong Province is not as holy as Xiangchu, it can be called a holy kingdom on earth.

Nearly 70% of the world's population lives here.

"Yes, I probably won't be able to go back to Dianchuan in a short time.

"Old Wei, are you sure your news is correct? This is the nineteenth hole we have dug.

If you can't find it again, you may have to sleep here forever. "

"Brother Qi, goodbye."

There seems to be an extremely mysterious energy gathered by these ridges and injected into the ground. Looking down from a high altitude, the ground seems to be constantly changing.

In a bustling market town, there was a bustle of people, and Li Jiufang and Qi Xiu said goodbye:
"We say goodbye today, but I don't know when we will see each other again. Thanks to brother Qi, Li will definitely remember it in his heart."

Shaking the bronze ring on his hand, Qi Xiu casually took out a stack of cloud seal talismans:
"Now that you have lost all your cultivation and have no strength to tie a chicken, you can use these talismans to defend yourself. Don't capsize the boat in the gutter."

Without refusing, Li Jiufang took the talisman with a smile:

It's not a good thing for you to stay there. It's better to stay in Qinlong Province. "

It can be used not only to withstand the wind and sand blowing from the north, but also to isolate demons and evil cultivators, giving ordinary people a place to live and work in peace and contentment.

Because the residential areas are relatively dense, the government offices of the vassal towns in Qinlong Province simply built an endless towering high wall on the edge of the plain.

The vast world has a lot to do.

"Brother Qi, don't worry. Although I have lost all my cultivation, I still have some skills."

On the ridge where colorful sand and gravel gather together, the three figures seem to have some conflict.

"Okay, I'll save your life, you give me a chance, and you and I will be settled."

puff--

The twins with identical faces looked unkindly at the old man opposite, wearing a gray turban and chewing tobacco leaves.

Seeing what Li Jiufang was thinking, Qi Xiu smiled:
"That's fine. Although you are no longer what you used to be, if you want to start over, you should be more thorough.

Is this big tomb easy to find?
Nineteen pits will make you anxious. Old man, I cleared more than eighty pits in a row, and finally found the tomb door.

Compared with the mountainous landscape of the Yunnan and Sichuan Provinces, the southern part of the Qinlong Province is almost entirely boundless plains.

Young people, be patient, hurry up, and keep digging, don't think about being lazy. "

Their complaints failed to come to fruition, but instead they were scolded by the old man. The twins simply quit, snorted coldly, strode over, and raised their hands to capture them.

"Look, he's in a hurry."

Grinning, revealing his big teeth, the old man swayed, as fast as thunder, and passed behind the twins in an instant, raising his hand and banging his hands.

Click boom——

The five fingers of lightning intertwined, and the old man's two palms fell. The twins were instantly struck by lightning, with black smoke billowing from their bodies, their hair standing straight up, and the body-protecting power was torn to pieces by the lightning before it even took effect.

"Xiaowu Thunder Palm..."

With black smoke coming out of their mouths, the twins looked at the old man in disbelief. They couldn't believe that the old man who had languished along the way actually had such terrifying strength.

"Are you still in a hurry?"

A palm subdued the twins. The old man rubbed his rough hands and was about to step forward to lift the twins up when his earlobe suddenly moved.

boom--

The two palms collided and shook violently.

The domineering thunder light that collapsed wantonly made a harsh scream in the void.

"Yes, there is no Lei Xiu sect in Qinlong Province. Seeing that you are also a monk in this province, where did you learn this Lei method?"

With a calm expression, he took back his right hand and Qi Xiu curiously asked the old man in front of him.

"Fuck, Brother Leifa!"

Seeing that Qi Xiu received a small five thunder palm from him without any damage, the old man's complexion changed slightly, and when he just touched the palm, he was also keenly aware of the terrifying thunder power surging in the opponent's body.

Li Gui bumped into Li Kui.

"Senior fucked him. This old boy called himself Wanli Tong, but it turned out that if he was asked to lead the way, it would either be windy or rainy, or he would lead us digging holes all over the mountain.

The heart is so black that God cannot tolerate it! "

Seeing that the old man was deflated, the twins who were shocked on the outside and tender on the inside, and incontinent, shouted loudly, angrily complaining about the old man's crime.

"Fart! It's not like I can pinch or calculate, how can I be so accurate? Besides, the little money you gave me is not enough for me to go to Zuixian Tower for a meal."

When he heard the twins whipping him, the old man turned around and cursed loudly.

Normally, he wouldn't take it seriously if you yelled at him, it was just a drop in the bucket.

But it's different now.

If the Leifa monk in front of him is a stubborn person who hates evil, then he is kicking the iron plate.

"Wanli Tong? You are the Wanli Tong who claims that the yellow sand is like home, and you can go anywhere?"

The twins scolded Qi Xiu with a hint of surprise. "Huh? What do you mean?"

Hearing that Qi Xiu seemed to be looking for him in his words, Wan Litong rolled his eyes and said immediately:
"Looking at the noble appearance and extraordinary cultivation, he must be a member of some major sect. Why are you here to hunt for treasures?"

"That's it."

After finding the Wan Li Tong he had been looking for, Qi Xiu smiled and took out a palm-sized purple gold medal that resembled the handle of a knife.

This is a Dao gold medal. A purple-gold Dao gold medal can be exchanged for ten thousand Dao gold.

"I want to ask you for a favor. This is the deposit. Are you interested?"

"Have!"

With a howl, Wan Litong's eyes widened when he looked at the Dao gold medal in Qi Xiu's hand. Regardless of his identity, he stretched out his hand to get the Dao gold medal.

"Hey, I haven't said what kind of help I want you to do."

Raising his hand to avoid Wan Litong's black claws, Qi Xiu said with a smile.

"Tell me, as long as there is nothing that I, Wan Litong, don't know about on the Loess Plateau, which big tomb you want to go to, I guarantee you will stand in front of the tomb door within three days."

With only the purple gold medal left in his eyes, Wan Litong smiled sarcastically and patted his chest to guarantee his business capabilities.

"Really? What if I want to go to the Ancient Country of Evernight?"

Wan Li Tong's hand that was about to reach the purple gold medal suddenly froze, and he turned his head numbly to look at Qi Xiu who was smiling.

"You're kidding me, right?"

After spitting out the cigarette residue fiercely at Qi Xiu, Wan Litong turned around and walked away. It seemed that the words "Biye Ancient Country" and even ten thousand gold were not enough to keep him close.

"Twenty thousand."

"Thirty thousand."

"Fifty thousand, no more."

"make a deal!"

Quickly turning his head and returning to Qi Xiu, Wan Litong stretched out his big hand:
"Give me money!"

It’s true that money can make all the difference...

Looking at the returning Wan Litong with a chuckle, Qi Xiu turned his palm, and five purple gold medals suddenly appeared.

"I can give you money, but if you treat me like you treat them.

You know the consequences. "

Qi Xiuyao raised his chin and pointed at the twin brothers who were still lying on the ground not far away.

"Don't worry, the prices are different, and the service standards are naturally different. You are a big customer, and I will definitely satisfy you."

After receiving the five purple gold medals happily, the wrinkles on Wan Li Tong's face suddenly opened up.

Emerald red~
Xiaoyue~
Lao Wei, I really got mad this time.

Wait, we can have fun with him for a month soon.

Just when Wan Litong was immersed in the reverie of happy days, a big white and slender hand suddenly placed on his shoulder.

Boom——

For an instant.

The color of the sky changed, endless terrifying dark clouds gathered overhead, thunder roared, and looming thunder surged in the clouds, as if they would roar down in the next second.

"The money has been collected, when can we set off?"

Although he didn't look back, a majestic figure with a face shrouded in shadow and exuding extreme oppression appeared in Wan Litong's mind.

"Let's go now!"

Not daring to hesitate at all, Wan Litong quickly answered.

The terrifying pressure like a storm behind him disappeared in an instant, and his slender white palm patted Wan Litong's shoulder:

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Ho ho, it's not hard, it's not hard."

Wan Litong smiled bitterly, put away the purple gold medal, turned around and bowed to Qi Xiu:

"My little old man's surname is Wei, which only has the character "Xun". You can just call me Lao Wei. I wonder what you call me?"

"My surname is Qi, you can just call me Taoist Master Qi.

I heard people nearby say that the ancient city that never sleeps moves with the wind, is ethereal and has no fixed location.

Many people have gone in by chance, but you are the only one who has gone in more than once. "

Among the information conveyed by the bronze ring, one of the inheritances of the Demon-eating Sect is hidden in this ancient city that never sleeps.

Qi Xiu originally planned to go back to Shenxiao Sect to discuss this matter with his master, Taoist Master Yunxiong, before making any plans.

But a premonition in the dark made him feel that if he could not take away this inheritance as soon as possible.

Then he might miss this inheritance that everyone in the world misses.

His premonitions were always quite accurate, so Qi Xiu wrote a simple letter and sent it back to the Shenxiao Sect, then he rushed to this high loess slope without stopping.

After asking around for several days, I finally found Wanli Tong, who had traveled to and from the ancient country that never sleeps several times.

"Dao Zhang Qi, although I accepted your money and promised to help you, there are some things I need to keep in mind.

This ancient country of Evernight is a famously dangerous, forbidden and desperate place in the Qinlong Province.

I know you have also heard that it contains treasures from the prosperous Tang Empire.

But those are all legends, and I haven’t seen anyone bring anything out of it until now.

Moreover, there are endless dangers in that city that never sleeps, and even the Taoist power has stumbled in it. If it is not necessary, I advise you not to join in the fun. "

Old Wei Tou said this sincerely. In his job as a broker, he has transferred many people to the Evernight Ancient City over the years.

But without exception, no one came back alive.

The ancient city, full of endless temptations, was like an abyss, constantly devouring the creatures that came close to it.

"I appreciate your kindness. Don't worry, if there is really any danger, I will give up."

Seeing that Qi Xiu had said this, Old Wei Tou naturally didn't say anything more, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

It’s hard to persuade the damn ghost with good words...

……

Under the leadership of Old Wei Tou, the two people kept shuttling through this endless loess plateau.

Silently remembering the path Old Wei Tou led him along, Qi Xiu nodded slowly.

Although this Wan Li Tong has average character, he does have some tricks.

The path he took seemed chaotic, but in fact it contained secrets. He seemed to be walking a path that ordinary people could not see.

Qi Xiu could clearly feel that although he and Old Wei Tou had been wandering around on this loess plateau.

But in fact, the surrounding Yubi space has been changing, and the ground energy under the feet has also experienced great ups and downs.

It's just that he can only get a glimpse of this change by turning on the Qi Watching Technique.

Ordinary monks couldn't sense it at all, they just felt that the old man was going around in circles and was just cheating them out of money.

I spent five days wandering around the Loess Plateau.

Old Wei, who had been braving the wind and sand for five days without stopping, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up at the bright moon above his head and sat down, slapping his back and saying:

"finally reached……"
