C1 A tree of peach blossom dream

The gong sounded loudly in the sky. After a burst of noise, Chen Yuanjiu rode his big horse and walked down the street.

The neighbors came up to greet him. The praises were getting more and more boisterous …

Chen Yuanjiu on his horse cupped his fists while laughing and bowed to the people around him.

Further up the street was a large house. An old man stood at the door with an old woman behind him. A few young women stood behind him with joyous expressions on their faces. They were praising each other and looking at him with expectation in their eyes.

That's not right!

This is not true!

Chen Yuanjiu who was sleeping frowned, the big tree that was leaning on seemed to be blown by the wind, its branches and leaves were shaking and rustling.

In that instant, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. Raging flames surrounded him …

Within the courtyard house, thick smoke billowed as the flames burned fiercely. Corpses were strewn everywhere! The servants who had once taken care of them, were now lying on the ground like family with ferocious expressions on their faces.

"Big brother, sister-in-law …"

In the inner hall, Chen Yuanjiu knelt on the ground and pulled the two bodies. Realizing that there was no sound, he crawled to the other side, pulled a young lady up, and shouted loudly, "Second sister, second sister, you have awoken!"

"No need to shout, they're already dead!"

A humanoid monster, which was like black smoke, grabbed the old man and the woman one by one. Its hoarse laughter was like an iron sword, slicing through the heart.

"Tsk tsk, the souls of these people are really delicious!"

"It's a pity that it's not as good as yours. You know, your soul is hundreds of miles away, so I can already smell that delicious scent!"

"How many years has it been since I've seen such a wonderful soul?"

Chen Yuanjiu's face was pale, and his eyes were filled with tears, "Release my father, my mother, and I will go with you! Let them go!"

"Let them go? "Why?"

The black figure looked at Chen Yuanjiu with great interest, as if teasing him, and said while ridiculing him, "Have you gone insane from reading? Why are you following me? I am only trying to devour your soul, what does the rest have to do with me? "

"Tsk, tsk. He is indeed worthy of being called an innate psychic. Pure souls have the advantage. A prodigy recommended by the prefecture overseer. He will become a high official in the future. I'm very afraid!"

Chen Yuanjiu weakly kneeled on the ground as he sobbed, "Let my parents go, I'll let you eat … I'll let you eat …"

"Xiao Jiu, run, run!"

In the midst of his dying breath, the old man suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Yuanjiu. The kindness in his eyes had turned into reluctance, as if the devil's words had reminded him that his son should have a bright future.

It shouldn't be here!

"Go! Go to the magistrate court! Go to the prefecture and find the prefecture overseer to avenge us!"

After he finished speaking, the old man somehow managed to muster up the strength to break free from the black shadow's restraints. He turned around and fiercely crashed into the black shadow. He then embraced the black shadow and ruthlessly bit at it …

bayonet

The old man's mouth actually tore off a piece of the black shadow. At the same time, it caused its entire body to tremble, and it loosened its grip on the other hand.

The old lady fell to the ground and anxiously tried to figure out the direction, ignoring the wounds all over her body, she anxiously crawled to Chen Yuanjiu's side and extended her hands out to protect him. She said weakly, "Xiao Jiu, quickly go, listen to your father!"

Just at that moment, the devil had already entered the old man's mouth. After a single breath of time, it exited the old man's nose.

The old man didn't even say a word as he slumped to the ground, lifeless.

The old lady looked at all of this, and her body trembled, but she continued to protect Chen Yuanjiu behind her, and shouted miserably, "Xiao Jiu, quickly run, run!"

Chen Yuanjiu clenched his teeth. After so many years of studying, he did not manage to nurture a body full of righteous energy, so he knew that his father's words about him asking the prefecture overseer were not random.

But even though he was constantly caught in the chaos, Chen Yuanjiu still hesitated the moment he turned around to escape.

He turned to take one last look at his mother, only to discover that the old woman had already died in the hands of the devil.

"Tsk tsk, it's said that being heartless and compassionate makes one a scholar, so it's true!"

The Demon stood opposite of Chen Yuanjiu, his vague mouth full of ridicule and mockery, "Even if they aren't your biological parents, at least they have been raising you for more than ten years?"

"You shut up!"

At this moment, Chen Yuanjiu's grief and indignation gushed out. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the Demon, and said fiercely, "If you want to kill me, go ahead and cut it up, but don't give me the chance. I, Chen Yuanjiu, swear that if there comes a next life, I will definitely ascend to the Ninth Heaven.

"Tsk tsk tsk, never to reincarnate!"

"Haha!"

The demon suddenly laughed and said with a face full of ridicule, "Don't you know that we devils are forever wandering around, not entering the cycle of reincarnation, not being in the Three Realms, not entering the five elements, how can we reincarnate? "However."

"If I devour your soul, I might really be able to become a human!"

"Come, let me have a taste. What is the taste of such a pure soul?"

Chen Yuanjiu just stared at the Demon in front of him, as if he was going to carve the Demon's soul and drag this hatred into his next life.

However, was there an afterlife?

Chen Yuanjiu was not sure if he did not have it, but he was helpless to do it. At this moment, he strangely hated himself for training in the Four Books and Five Scriptures all these years, and not the rod, blade and sword.

Be patient and turn your friends into a new ghost,

A scholar was completely useless!

"If you don't want to live, you'll just slaughter the dog."

He dared to raise his sharp knife and fight with his blood.

The devil's hand gradually reached out to Chen Yuanjiu, and gently caressed his face, as if he was looking at a peerless treasure.

Chen Yuanjiu could even feel a hint of coldness seeping into his skin. Surprisingly, there was not a single trace of fear in his heart, but instead an abnormal silence. Because he believed that the man would come

Will he come?

For more than ten years, how many evil spirits and monsters had coveted his soul? Why was he still alive till now, was a small secret of Chen Yuanjiu's.

It was as if someone was protecting him until the very last moment.

"Stop!"

A calm voice came from the back of the demon. It was dressed in green clothes, a sackcloth robe, and long hair. It was just like the devil, making it hard to see his appearance.

The devil abruptly turned around and looked at the black-clothed Taoist as he sized him up with a cautious gaze.

"Let's go. I can pretend that I didn't see anything. This person is not someone you can provoke!"

The Daoist man in cyan spoke calmly, as if there was no emotion in his words.

"Why? "Who do you think you are?"

The devil's expression froze for a moment, as if he was unwilling to give up. However, when he thought of how the other party could appear behind him without making a sound, he felt waves of coldness in his heart.

Monsters roamed the world forever. They were inferior to reincarnation, but that didn't mean they wouldn't be exterminated.

An illusionary hand appeared behind the Demon's back, slowly reaching out towards Chen Yuanjiu. It wanted to hold down the green-clothed Daoist in front and devour Chen Yuanjiu's soul before leaving.

However, he didn't expect that the Daoist in green didn't say anything else. He flipped his hand and the peach tree in the courtyard suddenly bloomed with many peach blossoms. Pink petals danced in the sky.

The Daoist then extended his hand to grab and a normal peach blossom petal appeared in his hand. His finger quickly drew something on the peach blossom before he swung his hand to strike at the devil.

The petals of the peach blossoms shone brightly, bringing with it a faint trace of the aura of heavenly thunder.

Ka-cha! *

There was a clap of thunder in the night sky. When it hit the devil's head, it was like hot oil being poured into a pile of snow, instantly melting a large area.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Accompanied by the devil's scream.

Although the demon's body quickly returned to normal, even Chen Yuanjiu could tell that the price must be huge!

"Who are you?" the devil asked fiercely.

The Daoist Priest was silent.

Raising his head to look at the brewed thunder, the Demon glared at Chen Yuanjiu and quickly flew into the distance.

"Who are you?"

Chen Yuanjiu stared intently at the green-clothed Taoist and asked passionately.

The azure-robed Daoist remained silent.

The petals of the peach blossoms that filled the sky gradually fell down, like a rain of late spring, knocking down countless peach blossoms. He landed on the ground and disappeared!

"Who are you?"

Chen Yuanjiu shouted towards the figure that was about to disappear.

"Who am I? "Hehe."

The Daoist stood there solemnly. The bright moonlight seemed to have broken free from the restraints of the dark clouds as it fell down like the moonlight. The Daoist stood there elegantly as he stroked his long beard. His eyes emitted a faint glow in the darkness.

"You will know."

It suddenly disappeared as if it had never appeared before.

"Will I know? "Who are you?"

Chen Yuanjiu muttered in his heart, completely waking up from his dream, he turned and sat up, looking at the bright full moon, he leaned on the peach tree behind him.

In the spring, March. The peach blossoms were swaying slightly in the night sky.

Chen Yuanjiu hugged his body, curled up, and sat under the tree.

In a place that he did not see, black shadows could be seen, and strange animals could be seen shuttling back and forth in the darkness.

Chen Yuanjiu was not stupid, he obviously knew that if he followed the trajectory of his life, he would not be able to take revenge. Could it be that the officials of the human world could control demons and ghosts?

Therefore, he traveled the world in search of mountains and lakes. He searched for every single one of them, hoping to find a Divine Immortal cultivator and take them as his master.

However, now, Chen Yuanjiu had no choice but to believe it. He had no choice but to believe it as well, because this was the only chance he had to take revenge.

At that moment, he remembered the evasive looks his neighbors would give him, as well as the way they would call him a bane behind his back. That solemn look of hers was like a completely different person from when he was recommended as a plentiful man.

Chen Yuanjiu did not hate them.

He only hated himself. He hated that he didn't have the ability to protect his parents and brothers, and that he had to implicate them. He hated this world even more!

What good person has a good reward?

His parents and brothers, good-natured people, how could they all die tragically in front of him? What did they do wrong?

If he could, he would rather use himself to exchange with them.

He was more willing to die because of him!

Cha cha!

A few soft sounds caused Chen Yuanjiu to awaken from his deep thoughts, and he abruptly raised his head, staring at the black silhouette that was emitting a heavy, evil and ice-cold Qi, Chen Yuanjiu actually calmed down.

Where there were demons, devils, ghosts, and other such things, it would definitely be a mystical place. Who knows, there might even be a deity among them!

Looking at the Demonic Ghosts in front of him, Chen Yuanjiu slowly pulled out his sword and looked at the Demonic Ghosts in front of him. He was not afraid at all, on the contrary, he was relieved.

Finally …

Perhaps if he died here, he wouldn't have to suffer so much!

Under the bright moon, there was a peach flower emitting a white light. It was a young man holding a sword standing under a tree …

However, the evil spirits seemed to be afraid of something. They just stared at him like he was a tiger, but none of them dared to attack him.

The petals of the peach blossom on the ground suddenly seemed to come to life, but without wind, it started to float on its own, and under the branches, it gradually turned into a circle that was as tall as a person. A green-clothed man walked out safely, and after taking a glance at the surrounding demon and evil spirits, his gaze landed on Chen Yuanjiu.

He knew this man, he was familiar with him!

For more than ten years, virtually every single time he was in a life or death crisis, he would show up. However, for some reason, he was taking the initiative this time!

Chen Yuanjiu who was begging for the help of a master teacher immediately cupped his fists and bowed deeply, "Immortal Master Yuan Jiu, Yuan Jiu is willing to learn immortal Tao techniques from a subordinate immortal!"

The green-robed Daoist lightly shook his head and slowly said, "Why are you learning immortal Tao techniques?"

"Naturally, we must behead the demons and exterminate the devils in order to seek revenge!"

The light robed man turned around and looked at the evil spirits. With a light wave of his hand, the petals of the peach blossoms slowly started to emit a bright white light, as if there was a pair of invisible hands drawing something on the petals.

Then, the petals of the peach blossoms filled the sky. Every petal of the peach blossoms flew towards one of the demon spirits. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of demon spirits were reduced to fine powder.

Chen Yuanjiu watched all of this with his mouth agape. This was the true Divine Immortal Dao Technique!

"Plop ~ ~ ~"

Chen Yuanjiu immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply, "I request for the deities to teach me the Immortal Dao Techniques, I am willing to pay my respects to the sect master, and will become my slave!"

The green-clothed man did not say anything, but walked to the side of the peach tree and caressed it. He then pulled down the peach tree branch, and approached the petal, and took a deep breath, as if he was savoring something. In the end, he said lightly, "I will not be your master, and you will not be my disciple.

"Do your best!"

Seeing that the Cyan Robed Immortal was about to leave as usual, Chen Yuanjiu quickly kneeled in front of him and hugged his thighs, "Please give me some pointers, Immortal Master."

"Guidance?"

He didn't know whether he was looking at the moon or the peach blossoms, but in the end, he said, "One year from now, when you reach the age of twenty, there will be an opportunity. We'll seize it!"

Before the azure-robed Immortal could finish speaking, he had changed to a strange smile and disappeared without a trace.

If Chen Yuanjiu did not kneel on the ground at this time, he would have been able to see this smile. It was just like when he was recommended to be a talent through the Regional Academy's examination.

However, he didn't notice it.

Peach petals littered the ground.

A youth was kneeling on the ground.

An old peach tree stood tall in the valley.

A bright moon hung in the sky.
