Tianchi Mountain, south side.

...

Chen Yu led four guards to escort Lin Zhao down the mountain.

When he walked to the mountain god temple halfway up the mountain, Lin Zhao looked at it more. Lin Zhao often came here when he was a child, following his father and mother to incense and pray for blessings, but then he rarely came. At that time, the mountain god temple was also relatively dilapidated. Now it seems that he has received funding from the Shang Dynasty and has begun to renovate and expand, and the storefront has also changed to a more grand one.

A mountain temple carries many memories of the young man about his father and mother.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Yu smiled slightly: "I can't bear to leave?"

"Maybe it is."

Lin Zhao said: "I went to the farthest place before, Jiuzhangyuan, Beishan. This time I was going to Baidi City of Da Shang. I was a little nervous along the way."

Chen Yu smiled and patted the boy's shoulder and said, "A man is determined to go out for a walk. He wants to see what the world looks like. He also looks at the girls along the mountains and rivers. He can't only see these women in the town for the rest of his life."

Lin Zhao's face turned red: "Oh..."

At this moment, a figure stepped out from the mountain god temple, bowed to Chen Yu, and said, "Su Fu, the god of Tianchi Mountain, see Your Highness Yu!"

"You are welcome to be polite, Lord Shanjun."

Chen Yu clasped his fists: "It's Chen Yu who met Shan Jun."

Su Fu smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Lin Zhao, and said, "Is Lin Zhao going to travel far?"

"Um."

Lin Zhao nodded: "Master Shanjun's eyes are as sharp as torches, and as if he were to see the fire."

Su Fu laughed and said, "The rivers and lakes at the foot of the mountain are so energetic and deceitful. You have been going down the mountain to enter the rivers and lakes for the first time, but you should pay more attention~~~"

"Thank you, Shanjun, for your good advice!"

Lin Zhao held his fists and bowed.

Su Fu returned the gift.

"Go away~~~"

Chen Yu pulled Lin Zhao's wrist and held him down the mountain. At this moment, Chen Yu already treated Lin Zhao like a younger brother.

Su Fu looked at the backs of the two, frowned, feeling uncomfortable, shook his head and returned to Shanjun Temple.

...

At the pavilion at the foot of the mountain, Lin Zhao said goodbye to Chen Yu, and then took the map and set off from the foot of the mountain and headed south all the way.

He didn't walk fast, but he didn't walk slowly either.

In the evening, I walked to a forest where I could not stay in front of the village or the shop. There was nothing to say. I took out a prepared rain cloth from the bamboo box, and set up a small shed under the tree to shelter from the wind and rain. Then I took out the dry food and ate it with water. After eating, I leaned against the tree and slept with my clothes. In the middle of the night, I heard the sound of horse hooves, which seemed to be a cavalry patrol by the Tianchi Army.

Lin Zhao didn't care too much and continued to sleep. It was already morning when he opened his eyes. The warm sunshine in the morning fell on his face. So he took out a small marching pot, found some wild vegetables around, took a piece of venison as big as a fist from the bamboo box and cut it into pieces and put it into the pot. Then he roasted two big cakes on a bonfire. When the surface of the big cakes was browned and crispy, the pot of broth was ready, and one person swallowed it voraciously. After eating it all, it continued on the road.

Along the way, I stood with fist stakes and sword stakes, and I couldn't walk too fast, but I couldn't be much slower.

Until the third day, it was hundreds of miles away from the snowy Tianchi Lake.

During this period, Lin Zhao didn't even see a single figure. The thousands of miles of territory between the Great Wall of Fusu and the Snowy Tianchi Lake were originally a buffer zone for war, and the Shang Dynasty did not garrison.

In the afternoon, Lin Zhao walked rapidly and arrived at a fiery red forest.

In the three-year cold winter, it is rare to see the fiery red maple forest here. Just surrounded by the fiery red maple forest, there is a big lake. On the map, this lake is called Tongjing Lake.

Lin Zhao had stopped a few miles away from the Tongjing Lake. In the perception of the second-level sword cultivator, there was an unknown ray of demonic aura lingering in front of him. From a distance, there was a peach blossom forest beside the Tongjing Lake. This was incredible. It was the third year of winter in the whole world. Why did the peach blossoms bloom? There must be spiritual objects!

He slowly walked among the maple forest, stepping on fallen leaves.

With the insight of the sixth level warrior, he stopped again. There were two human auras ahead. The other party seemed to want to suppress the aura and did not want him to notice it. Unfortunately, Lin Zhao still felt it.

When he went down the mountain, Chen Yu said that the world of martial arts is dangerous and you should be more careful. Therefore, although Lin Zhao practiced boxing all the way, he always suppressed his breath to the level of a martial arts warrior. In the eyes of others, he was just a young man who had just entered martial arts. He walked all the way and honed the foundation of the martial arts realm, which was quite harmless.

When they saw Lin Zhao stopping, the two auras could not calm down.

"It seems that this fellow Taoist has discovered it~~~"

On a red maple with lush branches and leaves, a figure floated down. It was a young Taoist priest who was about twenty years old and was extremely delicate and smiled: "Zi Ling Mountain, Qingfeng Taoist Temple, Xu Zhen, have you seen fellow Taoists!"

The young man smiled and clasped his fists. This Taoist priest has a very low level of realm, and he almost got to the fifth level of spiritual cultivation.

In the bushes, a man who was integrated with the color of grass also walked out. He was a warrior carrying a broad sword, dressed in animal skin, his face was full of grass-roots spirit, and he carried the sword on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Martial man, Zhang Lei, I have met fellow Taoist!"

He is a five-level martial artist with a strong aura and a thunderous voice.

Lin Zhao immediately clasped his fists and said, "Lin Zhao."

"oh?"

The young Taoist priest Xu Zhenyi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I dare to ask fellow Taoist Lin Zhao, where is it from? Where are you going?"

“Come from the north.”

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Go to Baidi City of the Great Shang Dynasty to increase your experiences."

"I see!"

Xu Zhen bowed and said, "Since that's the case, I would like to advise fellow Taoists to take a detour. The Tongjing Lake has not been peaceful recently. There are often monsters that have killed many people and travelers in the world. Isn't this... Zhang Lei and I received a reward from the government and came here to deal with a monster."

"So that?"

Lin Zhao frowned: "What kind of monster is it?"

"Look at that side."

Xu Zhen reached out and pointed to a peach blossom forest in the distance and smiled: "In the cold winter days, only cold plums will bloom. How can these peach blossoms bloom in this season? To be honest, there is a monster living in this bronze mirror lake. If you don't want to die, you might as well take a detour. It is better to walk a little more than lose your life."

"Um……"

Lin Zhao hesitated and according to his nature, he would not avoid things when encountering problems. Unless he was a great monster, otherwise he would take a detour early, so what would he be trying to temper?

“Hey…”

On the side, Zhang Lei, a martial artist in the fifth realm, gently leaned his sword on the ground, as if he had changed his mind. He patted the young Taoist Xu Zhen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Xu, this is wrong. You see, Little Friend Lin Zhao is also a martial artist. It is not good to let the martial artist avoid the edge, right? If Little Friend Lin Zhao is willing, you might as well go with us to catch the peach blossom demon!"

"Okay!"

Xu Zhen frowned and said, "Lin Zhao, are you afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid!"

Lin Zhao smiled slightly: "Who is not afraid of death?"

"But our cultivation is just to subdue demons and demons on earth? Since there are monsters, we will never stand by, right?"

"That's the reason."

“So very good.”

Xu Zhen nodded: "The three of us went to Tongjing Lake together, and we will meet the peach blossom demon for a while, how about it?"

Lin Zhao nodded happily: "Yes!"

...

Not long after, on the shore of Tongjing Lake.

The three of them hid their breath, hid in the forest, and watched the peaceful lake from afar.

Xu Zhen frowned and said, "After a while, I used the Taoist talisman to force the peach blossom demon out of the water and led her to the shore to fight me desperately. When she left Tongjing Lake far enough, fellow Taoist Zhang Lei, fellow Taoist Lin Zhao, you will take action together. Fellow Daoist Zhang Lei cut off the peach blossom demon's retreat. Fellow Daoist Lin Zhao punches, but you must be careful not to really kill this monster."

"oh?"

Lin Zhao said: "Since the peach blossom demon hurts people, why can't he be killed?"

“Stay useful.”

Xu Zhen said: "Just just get disabled, leave a living place, so I can have an explanation with the master."

"Um."

Lin Zhao nodded and stopped asking.

Xu Zhen slowly stepped forward with the peach wood sword and began to activate the spiritual technique. Suddenly, a ray of Taoist magic luster appeared around him. He approached the lake step by step, took out a blood-red talisman, threw it out at the surface of the lake, and shouted in a low voice: "Order, suppress the demons!"

It is a Taoist demon-suppressing talisman!

Lin Zhao opened his eyes wide and looked at the Taoist demon-suppressing talisman and the military demon-suppressing talisman taught by the third senior brother. The Taoist demon-suppressing talisman even emphasizes a kind of "the way of heaven is to defeat", and ordered the spring thunder and wind of heaven and earth to suppress monsters, while the demon-suppressing talisman is very different. The imperial decree is the attacking aura of the military, and uses strong murderous aura to suppress evil spirits. The origins of the two are different, but the final effect is the same.

"Swish~~~"

The demon-suppressing talisman burned on the lake surface and turned into wisps of Taoist talismans suppressing it on the lake surface. Suddenly, the lake water began to spiral rapidly, and the waves surging. It seemed that something was resisting the demon-suppressing talisman at the bottom of the water. Soon after, the talisman burned out and the water returned to peace again.

"Um?!"

Lin Zhao frowned.

In the distance, the young Taoist priest was a little embarrassed on his face and sneered: "Do you still dare to resist? It's okay, so that you can know how powerful Dao Master is!"

As he said that, Xu Zhen took out a demon-suppressing talisman again. This time it was actually a demon-suppressing talisman written on silver talisman paper. After it was ignited, it threw it on the lake surface. Suddenly, the sound of wind and thunder was scattered in the air, and waves were raised again at the bottom of the lake. At this time, strands of pink peach petals were spinning in the water with the waves. Then, a beautiful figure appeared in the waves on the water surface. It was a woman in a pink long skirt, wearing a demonic aura, and frowned at the other party: "Xu Zhen, are you really so shameless when you have been entangled repeatedly?"

"Slay monsters, and those who seek Taoism in the world will do their best!"

"You deserve to say this too?"

The peach blossom demon flew up, wrapped around the peach blossoms in the sky, raised his palm, turned into a wisp of bone palm like peach blossom branches, and slapped the young Taoist priest hard on the back.

"It's not that easy to kill me!"

Xu Zhen rushed to the edge of the maple forest, turned around and raised the peach wood sword: "Not only you, but even your dead ghost is a good person, I will also order the power of heaven and earth to kill them together!"
