The moonlight is hazy, but just as bright as yesterday.
Zhang Mingtu looked up at the sky and could already see large patches of dark clouds.
"It looks like it's going to rain!"
When Zhang Mingtu looked up, he felt a chill on his face and a light drizzle was falling.
"It's a good time to kill monsters."
He stretched out his hand and slapped the ground, and a stream of true energy sank into the ground. The Qingshuang Sword immediately broke out of the soil and fell into Zhang Mingtu's hands.
The Qingshuang Sword hadn't been seen for a while, and the entire sword body had become shimmering, like a lake of autumn water, just like the clear frost after autumn.
After being sealed for hundreds of years and seeing the light of day again, this ancient sword has become even sharper. Zhang Mingtu just touched it lightly with his fingertips, and a blood mark appeared on his skin, which had never been injured in the fight with demons.
Zhang Mingtu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. It would be a waste not to use the top-notch magic weapon, but it wouldn't be okay to just use the Qingshuang Sword.
Therefore, Zhang Mingtu thought of a compromise. He took out a large steel ingot from the house next door and wrapped the Dragon and Tiger External Pill in it.
True essence was continuously injected into the Dragon Tiger External Pill, and the steel ingot inside the Dragon Tiger External Pill quickly melted, forming a pool of silver molten steel.
Zhang Mingtu carefully covered the entire Qingshuang sword with the molten steel evenly, leaving only the sharp edge of the sword uncovered.
After a while, Zhang Mingtu shaped the original Qing Shuangjian into a long sword similar to the Tang sword, but it was wider and thicker.
The knife looks simple and unpretentious overall, with only a faint light at the edge of the blade, showing its extraordinary nature.
Zhang Mingtu looked at it carefully and found that there was no trace of it. Others would only think that it was a big knife that was longer and bigger than an ordinary knife, and would not associate it with the Qingshuang Sword.
After completing these preparations, Zhang Mingtu carried the long sword on his back with a coarse cloth.
The sound of rain outside was getting louder, raising dust from the roadside. Zhang Mingtu had no intention of opening an umbrella, so he just pulled a cloak over his head.
He walked step by step to the bank of Ganjiang River, recalling the map given by his future brother in his mind, and cast the water-controlling talisman. He turned into a ball of flowing water and shuttled quickly under the water.
His next target was another place not far from Jianyi, Bashan County. Bashan was originally a county, but after the later restructuring it was called the present county. It is located between the Wuyi Mountains.
There are many mountains and rivers running through it, forming a unique geographical landscape.
The reason why Zhang Mingtu chose this area is that it is close.
On the other hand, because it is close to the mountains, this time the monsters are not only in the water, but there are more monsters in the mountains.
He could travel through the water very quickly, thanks to the water control talisman.
The water-controlling talisman comes from the inheritance of an unknown old Taoist in the Ten Thousand Mountains and is quite useful.
It is simple and clear. In order to help Zhang Mingtu balance the Dragon and Tiger Fist, the old Taoist tried many methods. Later, Zhang Mingtu realized that they were useless, so he asked him for many other ways of practice. The Water Control Talisman was one of them.
Thinking of this, Zhang Mingtu couldn't help but think of the old Taoist priest who was perched on the top of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
The Ten Thousand Mountains are known as a forbidden area, and martial arts masters would never go deep into it. However, the old Taoist priest was able to cultivate it for many years. When Zhang Mingtu was not strong, he did not feel that he was strong, but felt that the senior master acted differently from others.
Looking back now, I feel that the old Taoist was unfathomable, and his martial arts skills were amazing. He knew everything about astronomy and geography.
Not only does he have a very broad understanding of martial arts, but he can also explain the care and concern in Zhang Mingtu's practice in just a few words, which can be said to be profound.
His words and actions are very reasonable, and he is well-mannered and has an extraordinary demeanor.
Mingtu didn't notice it before when he was not very knowledgeable, but now when he thinks about it again, he has a different idea.
"Judging from his words and actions, he must be from a prominent family. I don't know why he sealed himself off in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. If I have time one day, I'd like to visit the mountains again."
After all, he had received many pointers from the old Taoist priest, and today during the day, he heard a group of people talking about the Dragon Tiger Fist, which seemed to be a peerless boxing style. From Zhang Mingtu's point of view, it was indeed top-notch.
Although Zhang Mingtu and the old Taoist have never met each other, the old Taoist can be regarded as Zhang Mingtu's guide or even his master in some ways. It was the old Taoist who taught him how to survive the calamity and balance the dragon and the tiger.
"Moreover, within those Hundred Thousand Mountains, demons are everywhere. If you practice there, it will be like adding wings to a tiger."
Thinking of the Dragon and Tiger External Pill and the old Taoist priest, Zhang Mingtu suddenly realized that perhaps the old Taoist priest was practicing in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
However, being able to practice in the Ten Thousand Mountains without being killed by demons also requires very strong strength and skills.
At least Zhang Mingtu's future brothers went to the Shiwandashan Mountains twice, and their condition was not very good. They were bullied by monsters every time.
Before he knew it, he had already traveled dozens of miles along the Gan River.
We will arrive in Bashan County soon.
Zhang Mingtu carefully recalled the relevant information and found that the demons in Bashan County did not appear on a large scale until half a year later.
There had been minor problems before, and they had been reported to the Six Gates and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but no one cared.
Fighting against demons is never easy, as demons are very cunning and good at hiding.
Moreover, they have powerful Qi and blood, and their attacks are fierce. Human warriors of the same level are usually no match for them.
Therefore, if a newly transformed demon is discovered, some people may try to hunt it.
If the rumor has been around for a long time and it is confirmed that the demon has been transformed for a long time, and there has been no large-scale killing, neither the Jinyiwei nor the Liushenmen will take action.
After all, most of those assigned to some remote small counties are people who are not valued in their families, or they are from very small families themselves, or even their families are so impoverished that they no longer have much ability.
Their desire to hunt demons is not very strong, and they are nothing like Xue Cheng and Zhang Mingtu.
Xue Cheng took action by directly inviting a large number of people from his family, and directly letting the king fight against the bronze.
It is often a crushing defeat with very few losses. If ordinary people were to engage in a fight, all the characters in Bashan County, including the Six Gates and the Embroidered Uniform Guards, might be completely destroyed, and they might not be able to completely kill the demons.
It is often in these areas where the imperial court's control is relatively weak that demons are reborn.
The people of the Land of the Rising Sun have a very accurate grasp of this aspect.
The demon situation in Bashan County was discovered by a man who roamed around the area.
He was accepted as a disciple by a major sect because of his talent. When he returned home to visit his family, he found that his mother had been killed by a demon in the mountains. In anger, he rushed into the Wuyi Mountains to search, but found that he was no match for his opponent.
Then he invited a large number of people from the sect to search the entire Wuyi Mountains.
By some accident, all the demons in Bashan County were wiped out.
