Chapter 23 Confrontation with the Enemy

Xu Xian hurried to the lake and called out twice, "Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing." As soon as there was a sound of water, a green snake head emerged from the water, opened its bloody mouth, and spat out bright red saliva.

Asked: "What are you doing?" The fangs shined in the silver moonlight, but they exhaled a strange fragrance.

Xu Xian thought to himself that it was a shame that he usually didn't talk about it. He only told Bai Suzhen all the calculations he had made. Xiaoqing was really anxious and said: "Let's go find sister together." She transformed into a human form, wearing a long green dress.

She has hair, but she still looks like a pretty beauty. It’s just that her face is red, which is different from usual. If it weren’t for the inner elixir of the toad essence, she wouldn’t be able to maintain her body today, and now she is extremely reluctant.

Xu Xian quickly stopped her and said, "I'm here to tell you to stay still and don't come out of the water no matter what noise you hear later. No, you should go along the waterway now and come back in two days."

How could Xiaoqing be willing to listen? She said angrily: "You want me to leave you and run away alone. Who do you think I am?" Although it was already midnight, the weather was getting hotter and muggier. She was already uneasy, but now she listened.

This matter made me even more anxious. I had to leave Xu Xian and go find Bai Suzhen.

Xu Xian stopped her and pulled her into his arms, letting her struggle desperately without letting go. He only said: "You can't use your magic power. Even if you take action, you can't help us. And you don't have to take action. You can stay in the water with peace of mind."

, just don’t cause any trouble for us.”

Xiaoqing's body was already weak and weak, so she couldn't break free, and said: "I take the inner elixir, and it's my turn to reason with you." After a dispute, Xiaoqing kept saying something harsh, which gave Xu Xian a headache, so he simply pulled the head of the hazel,

He kissed her pouty red lips deeply. His mouth was filled with a hot and sweet taste.

Xiao Qing was already feeling hot and hot, but this time it was as if she was ignited. She leaned softly in his arms, and her head was so dizzy that she was in a state of intoxication. Xu Xian said with the power of a kiss: "Trust us, okay?

?”

Xiaoqing nodded unconsciously, but it was too late to change her mind. But her mind calmed down a lot, and she thought that she couldn't help, so she put down her impulse and said, "I'll just stay in the lake.

"

Xu Xian smiled slightly, pinched her chin, and put her back into the lake. If the other party was a practitioner who knew how to divine fortune, it would be safer to take her under their protection.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. It was heard far away in the clear night.

Xu Xian's expression changed, and she told Xiao Qing again, put Xiao Qing back into the lake, turned around and left. She looked at his leaving figure in the water and couldn't help but have some strange feelings.

On the path beside the flowers, Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen smiled at each other and walked towards the door together.

After opening the door of the room, I saw an old Taoist priest standing there leisurely. He had a snow-white and slender beard, and his face was red but without any wrinkles. He really had a childish face with white hair. You could tell at a glance that he was a Taoist.

After Bai Suzhen bowed and saluted, she asked, "I wonder which of the three true monarchs of the Three Mao Lords is here to visit you?" But she was neither humble nor arrogant.

The Taoist priest was even more surprised. It was really rare for a monk to live in the same room with demons. He returned the favor and said with half a courtesy: "Old Taoist Mao Zhong, I have met two Taoist friends. The poor Taoist just came down from Maoshan. In order to inquire

A disciple who doesn’t live up to expectations.”

Xu Xian was overjoyed. The person who came was Xia Mao, but in terms of magic power, it should be the easiest to deal with. His face remained calm and he said: "Please come in and talk in detail, Taoist Priest."

Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen looked at each other, and both felt relieved. Since this Taoist priest didn't shout to kill him as soon as he came up, he had a point. Moreover, even if there was a fight, Xia Mao would always be easier to deal with. As long as he survives today.

, Bai Suzhen recovered all her strength and was no longer afraid of him.

After inviting Mao Zhong to the hall, Bai Suzhen served tea and stood next to Xu Xian, putting her hands on his shoulders. Mao Zhong was even more puzzled. People who practice Taoism do not pay attention to the superiority of men to women, and those who are masters come first.

This woman in white could maintain her figure during the Dragon Boat Festival, and could still talk and laugh with ease. It was obvious that she had a very profound moral character. And no matter how high the moral character of this young boy was, he should not be higher than her. Why did she look like he was the main one now?

"I wonder which sect these two Taoist friends, your surnames, are from?" We need to find out first.

Xu Xian smiled and said: "My surname is Xu Mingxian, and my courtesy name is Hanwen. I studied under Taiyin Zhenren and Zen Master Fahai. Recently, I also received enlightenment from Lu Zu and learned some Taoism." His words are true, but every word is true.

It's a lot worse. Anyway, it's better to peel off the tiger's skin first to make the other party have some scruples.

Mao Zhong was shocked, no wonder the result of being able to look at Qi was so strange. There was such a source method. These three people were all famous, especially Lu Dongbin, the founder of Chunyang in Zhongnan Mountain, who was one of the most famous in the inner alchemy sect.

This person is much stronger than their three brothers. The Xu Xian in front of him should not be underestimated.

But he didn't know that none of these three characters were close to Xu Xian. Taiyin Zhenren only had a relationship with Xu Xian, and now he didn't know where they were. It was a blessing that Fahai didn't come to trouble him. But Lu Chunyang came to do something.

Transformation into Xu Xian is mostly meant as a joke.

Seeing the other party thinking, Xu Xian patted Bai Suzhen's hand and said, "This is my wife, Bai Suzhen. She was taught by Mother Lishan."

Bai Suzhen was shocked. She didn't expect that he would say such a thing. She blushed with embarrassment at first, then lowered her head and felt at ease. Then she stopped talking, just waiting to see what he would say.

Mao Zhong shook his beard and said with a smile: "It turns out that we are all orthodox in the Taoist sect, but I don't know why I stopped practicing in the mountains and went to hang out in the mortal world. Besides, how can a human being and a demon get married in a different way?" As he spoke, Dao Zhong said.

He shook his head. Not to mention Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen is an enlightened monster, how can she hang out in the mortal world. As long as she reports to heaven, she will suffer.

Bai Suzhen said: "The little girl came down the mountain to win Emperor Zhenwu's nod. In return, the husband looked at me a thousand years ago, and then we became husband and wife. If the Taoist Master has anything to say, you might as well say it directly. We, husband and wife, will definitely know

Say nothing."

Mao Zhong put down his tea cup and said with a smile: "Okay, then let me ask, how did my ineffective disciple offend the virtuous couple, not only ruined the Taoism, but also caused death, and even the soul could not escape?"

By the end, his voice and look were stern, and he was no longer as peaceful as before.

There was suddenly an invisible pressure in the quiet hall, making it even more dull.

Xu Xian only felt that Bai Suzhen's hand on his shoulder tightened. He patted it twice and said without changing his expression: "To be honest with you, I will tell you that Wang Daoling died under my sword."

Wang Daoling did not lie about his various reasons for being in Suzhou City. There is no point in lying in front of such people, but it will weaken his momentum.

Mao Zhong shook his head and said: "In this case, you should indeed be beaten." Xu Xian took a breath and heard him continue: "If what I heard is correct, what I was given was only laxatives, not killing, and the crime will not lead to death."

Then he added a little bit to what Xu Xian said, as if Wang Daoling was deceived and deceived by Xu Xian, it was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"He can't see your conduct, fellow Taoist Xu, and just thinks that you are a mortal, deceived by monsters. He wanted to save you, but for your own selfishness, you deceived him and killed him. I don't know what the truth is?

That's all. I beat him to pieces and destroyed his body. If you really had a clear conscience, why did you do this?"

Xu Xian couldn't help but be stunned. Something that was reasonable at first turned out to be unreasonable when he said it casually. What he knew through time travel could not be used to explain, so it was difficult to refute, and his momentum immediately became much weaker.

Bai Suzhen said sternly: "The real king is wrong. Wang Daoling has harmed countless people. Our husband and wife originally only gave him a light punishment and expelled him from Suzhou. But it was he who had the murderous intention first, but he refused to share his status with me openly.

Next, what are the thoughts of using the hand of the husband to harm other people's wives? My officials were not deceived by him, but got into a dispute with him. His skills were inferior to others, and he was killed by the Star Chaser sword, and his soul must be torn apart. As for

Destroying the corpse and eradicating traces is just to prevent mortals from seeing it."

She was unhurried and calm and refuted all Mao Zhong's words. Xu Xian was soothed by her "official" calls.

Mao Zhong smiled instead of being angry and said: "You are such a sharp-tongued man. You can also say that about this matter. Please bring out the relics of my disciple so that I can take them back to the mountain." He seemed to agree with this statement.

This is how to end the matter.

Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen looked at each other, but they didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to. Fortunately, Wang Daoling didn't have a chance to use his things, so he took them and put them on the table.

Mao Zhong took a look and said, "There is still one thing missing."

Xu Xianqi said: "I searched for it and put it away in a high cabinet. How could it happen?" Bai Suzhen's expression suddenly changed and she remembered something.

Mao Zhong said: "I wonder where the inner elixir is?"

The inner elixir had already been swallowed by Xiao Qing, so Xu Xian naturally couldn't take it out, so he said with difficulty: "Please forgive me, Taoist priest, the inner elixir is gone." He felt that it made no sense after saying this. Bai Suzhen couldn't say anything either.

Come.

Mao Zhong laughed loudly, his voice shook the room, and said: "It doesn't matter, just eat it and spit it out. I don't think you two are the ones who ate it. I'll look for it elsewhere." As he spoke, he ignored the two of them.

Go straight to the backyard, where the small lake is where Xiaoqing lives.

Only then did Xu Xian understand his intention. Even if he and Bai Suzhen joined forces, they could still protect themselves even if they couldn't win. After the Dragon Boat Festival, he would be the one who wanted to run away. Even if San Mao Zhenjun all came to attack them, they would still run away if they couldn't defeat them.

If he is killed and borrows the power of the dragon's body from the Qiantang River, he may not be able to fight.

And Mao Zhong also saw that he couldn't defeat them on his own, and it was useless to engage in verbal disputes. However, he figured out where Xiao Qing was, and just then he tried some more words to confirm his speculation. He immediately found the weakness, and it was reasonable.

With evidence, Xiao Qing was captured.

He was polite and courteous after he came in. One was to find out the truth of the matter. The other was to

Xu Xian not only lamented that none of these accomplished guys really wanted to marry him. He hurriedly stood in front of Mao Zhong and said: "Taoist Master, if you have something to say, why not give me something else to make amends with."

Mao Zhong said with a smile: "Although I am poor, why don't I lack what you have?" However, he did not stop and walked past Xu Xian without avoiding it.

Bai Suzhen is experienced and knows that at this point, it is useless to argue. If Xiaoqing is captured by him, the two of them will be in trouble. Qing scolded, flew up and waved his palm, and attacked Mao Zhong. White smoke appeared on his palm.

The micro-cage is like a layer of clouds surrounding the snow-capped mountains. Although it looks soft and casual, if it is hit, it will be immediately frozen into ice and unable to move.

Mao Zhong felt awe-struck in his heart, and a thought flashed across his mind. "If it hadn't been for the Dragon Boat Festival, I'm afraid I wouldn't be a match for this white snake." But since the weather is with me, there's no need to say it anymore. He also waved a palm, but it was wrapped with thunder and crackling.

There was a loud sound, instantly lighting up the dark room. It was Xu Xiande's "Five Thunder Palm Techniques".

As soon as the thunder cloud touched, he struck with his palms, but there was no earth-shattering sound. On the contrary, even the thunder disappeared, and the room suddenly fell into darkness again.

Although they seemed to be evenly matched, Bai Suzhen secretly complained in her heart that it was just the Dragon Boat Festival. The summer solstice had just passed, and the power of thunder was naturally better than the power of ice and snow. Now she was just trying to resist it. And if it is a monster that has never experienced thunder tribulation,

, I'm afraid I can't even withstand a palm.

Although Mao Zhong had the upper hand, he did not dare to be careless at all. A golden palm was about to be imprinted on his hand. Xu Xian was only in the realm of "human immortal", far behind both Mao Zhong and Bai Suzhen. Reflecting

It was much slower. But this palm happened to fall in the gap between Mao Zhong and Bai Suzhen's struggle, making it difficult for him to guard against it.

Mao Zhong held Bai Suzhen in a stalemate with one hand, and blocked Xu Xian's palm with the other like a flower. Now there was a muffled sound like a bell, twining between the beams. With one against two, Mao Zhong couldn't help but take a step back.

Xu Xian took three steps back, and Bai Suzhen quickly supported him and received the power of the thunder. Fortunately, although it was the Dragon Boat Festival, the millennium of Taoism was still there, so it didn't matter. Xu Xian didn't say anything, and handed over the prepared Star Chasing Sword.

Give it to her, Bai Suzhen nodded, and pulled out the sword with a "clop" sound, shining brightly in all directions. Even Mao Zhong praised loudly: "What a sword." But he kept retreating out of the house.

Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian attacked, but Mao Zhong took over and walked out without hesitation. All these actions were just a flash of lightning, but they all measured the opponent's strength.

It was the first time that Xu Xian faced off against such an expert, and he realized how big the gap between them was. It was the gap between earthly immortals and human immortals. Without Bai Suzhen by his side, he would have been defeated in an instant, let alone the future.

We have to face Fahai. How can even a genius make up for the gap accumulated over thousands of years in a short period of time?
