Hearing Du Heng say this, Xiao Xiao and Xiao Wonton looked at each other, and then they loosened Du Heng's trouser legs. Du Heng rubbed Xiao Xiao's head and said, "Go take care of Jing Nan, don't worry about me."
Du Heng took out two kinds of pills from his storage bag. These were the pills he often took when Pei Zhu beat him half to death. Du Heng stuffed two pills into Xiao Wonton's pocket and rubbed his head: "Good dog, watch Xiao Xiao carefully."
Little Wonton hummed and watched Du Heng leave the barrier.
Du Heng stood on the top of the mountain, with the majestic gate of the Saint Temple behind him. A huge calamity cloud was above his head, and facing the monster approaching on the hillside, he shouted: "Come on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge thunderbolt fell. Du Heng originally wanted to face the thunderbolt. But when he saw the thunderbolt as thick as a bucket falling on his head, his calmness turned into panic: "Ahhhh - don't come over here!"
Xiaoxiao raised her wings to cover her face: ...So embarrassing.
Du Heng found that he still didn't have the courage to face the thunder tribulation. What a joke! That was thunder! Something with tens of thousands of volts hitting the body, even if he didn't die, he would lose three layers of skin!
At this time, the skills tempered in Peizhu Forest came into play. Du Heng jumped to the side and miraculously avoided the thunder tribulation.
As soon as Du Heng landed, he saw two bolts of lightning coming towards him. He screamed and ran down, not because he had the courage to face the monster, but because he had no place to hide behind him. Only the hillside was big enough for him to dodge.
The second thunderbolt did not fall on Du Heng, but on a leopard-shaped monster that had just rushed up. To be honest, Du Heng had no idea where this monster came from. He only heard a loud bang, and the monster, which was already black, became charred and fell to the ground, with its four claws twitching.
Du Heng swallowed his saliva. See, such a ferocious monster couldn’t withstand the thunder tribulation. If the thunder tribulation fell on him, he would be dead.
Although he felt guilty and his legs felt weak as if he was stepping on cotton, Du Heng still quickly formulated a plan in his mind. He wanted to use the thunder to strike the monsters that trampled on his homeland!
Xiao Wonton rested for a while, and its front paws recovered. It walked out of the barrier involuntarily, squatting outside the barrier and staring at Du Heng's figure. Xiao Xiao also wanted to leave the barrier, but Xiao Wonton stretched out his claws and pressed Xiao Xiao's head and pushed him into the barrier.
The monsters didn't expect that someone would dare to rush towards them, but before they could pounce, they saw the thunderbolt as thick as a bucket behind the man. The thunderbolt chased the man, but the man chased them!
The monsters with good eyesight ran away, but more monsters were struck by lightning before they could react.
Du Heng finally understood what Wen Qiong said. No fight in the world is in vain. Relying on the dodging skills he had learned from being beaten half-paralyzed by bamboos in the Pei Bamboo Forest, Du Heng miraculously fought his way out of the monster group.
He treated the charging monsters and thunder tribulations as thousands of bamboos swinging from the Pei Bamboo Forest, and perhaps because of his experience in being beaten, he was very good at judging the time and direction of the thunder tribulations. The monsters only saw Du Heng rushing over quickly and supporting their bodies to jump, but before they could come to their senses, the thunder tribulations hit them.
Du Heng had a very strange feeling in the thunder and lightning. He actually had a feeling that he could control the thunder and lightning! Anyway, the thunder tribulation followed him. As long as he ran fast and hid in time, and the scapegoat he pulled was strong enough, the thunder tribulation would not hit him. The monsters were afraid of the lightning and the sound. For a while, the hillside became Du Heng's home ground.
Du Heng's thunder tribulation was incredible. When others were going through the tribulation, they would go to a quiet cave, find a secret corner and use the instruments they had prepared long ago. In their pockets were pills to replenish spiritual energy, and those with strength would prepare special pills specifically for going through the tribulation.
When the thunderstorm comes, they will find three or five friends to help defend the formation. First, it can prevent the opponent from seeking revenge, and second, if they fail to survive the thunderstorm, there will be someone to collect the body. In the blink of an eye, they use all their cultivation to face the thunderstorm, and whether they can survive depends on luck. The monks watching will see monks using various methods to survive the thunderstorm, and sometimes they will comment on them.
However, they had never seen a cultivator who would divert the thunder tribulation away from the others. If it happened in the world of cultivation, such behavior would be condemned to death. Because thunder tribulation is a very capricious thing, the heaven will strike as many times as it wants. If you are lucky, it will strike two or three times, but if you are unlucky, it may strike for hundreds of years.
Thunder tribulations have no eyes, and if there are too many people watching, the heavens may be pissed off, and those who are unlucky may even be struck by lightning.
Therefore, when the monks were going through the tribulation, they were very disciplined and would not run around. Du Heng's way of going through the tribulation by jumping around and attracting the thunder tribulation to strike the monster beast was something they had never seen or heard of before.
The power of the thunderbolt was so great that a deep pit would appear when it hit the ground. At first, Du Heng didn't run in time and was almost struck by the thunderbolt. But when he found the pattern and regained the feeling of practicing in the Peizhu Forest, he became more comfortable.
At first, the monsters rushed towards Du Heng excitedly, but after a while, when they saw Du Heng, they turned around and ran down the mountain.
However, it was easier to climb up the mountain than to go down. It seemed that something terrible appeared at the foot of the mountain, forcing the monsters to climb up the mountain. After a while, Du Heng knew what was waiting for the monsters at the foot of the mountain.
Lao Dao and Chong Hua came up, chasing the monster straight to the Saint Temple. In addition to Lao Dao and Chong Hua, Du Heng also saw the Zhou brothers holding hammers.
Seeing Du Heng undergoing the tribulation, the four of them tacitly stayed at the foot of the mountain and did not go up the mountain to be struck by lightning. The four of them lined up in a row, and when a monster tried to rush up, they would quickly twist its throat. When a monster wanted to turn back, the four of them would not be pushovers.
The monsters didn't expect that after rushing up the mountain with great effort, they would encounter Du Heng who was undergoing the tribulation! The hillside was full of deep pits caused by the thunder tribulation. Du Heng was extremely grateful to Wen Qiong for not letting him off when she attacked him.
It only took him more than half a year to get from the time he was knocked unconscious as soon as he entered the Peizhu Forest to the time when he could easily dodge thunder strikes among the monsters and even drag a few monsters into the water.
Thanks to Wen Qiong, thanks to Xuan Yu and the others who asked Wen Qiong to train him, and thanks to myself for working diligently every day to get beaten!
The thunderstorm lasted for half an hour. Du Heng could not remember how many thunderbolts fell from the sky. He only knew that he was lucky enough to avoid all of them.
As Du Heng sat on the mountain path, panting, the clouds in the sky began to disperse. At this time, the dawn was just breaking, and the sky in the east was turning pale. A golden light descended from the sky and gently fell on Du Heng.
Du Heng felt the pain in his dantian disappear instantly, and he felt relaxed and comfortable. He probed his dantian with his spiritual consciousness, and saw a golden pill appear in his dantian. His spiritual roots had expanded more than a hundred times compared to when he was building his foundation, and his body was so light that he seemed to be able to fly into the sky at any time.
The past night was like a nightmare, but fortunately they survived the most difficult night.
The monsters retreated like the tide, just as they gathered silently, they also retreated silently. If they hadn't left a pile of debris on the ground, Du Heng would even think he was having a nightmare.
Zhou Xiyue and the others walked up the stairs, and if they encountered a monster that was not dead, they would claw it. Chonghua and Lao Dao had already returned to human form, and the four of them were covered in blood.
When he saw Du Heng, he smiled as if he had just survived a disaster: "Thank you, generals."
Chonghua smiled and said, "This is what we should do. It's a pity that we are outnumbered and those beasts still broke through the barrier."
Du Heng relaxed and said, "As long as people are alive, that's fine."
The barrier can be rearranged and the house can be rebuilt, but if a person is gone, everything is gone.
Du Heng slapped his head suddenly: "Are you here to look for Jing Nan? Jing Nan's tail has grown out and he is resting. Let's go to the temple to rest first. We are tired all night and we can finally take a breath."
His village was destroyed. Although he wanted to know the situation of the village, everyone was exhausted now. Going back to see the devastation would only make him feel worse. It would be better to have a good rest and wait until he is fully rested before going back to rebuild his home.
After daybreak, the lead-gray clouds hovering over the village also dissipated, and Du Heng saw a charred village. If the village was fine, standing at this height, the village should have just woken up. There would be smoke coming out of his yard, and the village was like a treasure sleeping among the mountains.
However, the monsters attacked and the village was reduced to a scorched earth. Du Heng and his family's house was still smoking and looked like a ruin from a distance.
Du Heng felt sad. When Xuan Yu left, his home was still fine, but when he came back, his home was gone.
Zhou Lianhua said, "Don't worry, Mr. Du. Long Jun and Feng Jun are already on their way back. They will arrive in two days at most."
Lao Dao said in a deep voice: "The monsters are afraid of sunlight and dare not make any unusual movements during the day. We will stay in the Saint Temple for the next two days and make a decision after the Dragon Lord and Phoenix Lord return."
Du Heng nodded: "The generals can make the decision."
When Du Heng arrived at the Saint Temple, Xiao Xiao was the first to rush over. He thrust his wings at Du Heng's legs, tears welling up in his eyes. Du Heng knew that Xiao Xiao blamed him for ignoring his own safety and rushing out of the Saint Temple's barrier. Now he was a little scared. If he hadn't succeeded in overcoming the tribulation, what would Xiao Xiao have become?
Du Heng picked up Xiao Xiao and assured him, "Be good, I'm fine. Next time I go through the tribulation, I will be fully prepared, okay? Don't cry, you won't be cute if your fur is wet."
After entering the Temple of the Sage, the generals actually lay down on the floor in the corridors on both sides. They did not mind the dirt on the floor and just fell asleep.
Du Heng had just formed his elixir, and should have been concentrating on consolidating his cultivation. However, after a fierce battle last night, his mind was in a mess, and now he couldn't muster the motivation to practice at all.
He had a lot of questions in his mind, but he didn't know who to ask. He also didn't know whether he should ask them or not, because he knew that once he knew the truth about some things, it would be difficult to maintain the current situation.
Jing Nan was still sleeping soundly. He would probably wake up when Feng Gui and the others came back. Du Heng cleaned up the nine-tailed hair on the ground. He sat in the cabin and stared at the eternal lamp on the table in a daze.
If it weren't for this surprise attack, Du Heng should have been in the village feeding geese, farming, cooking and practicing. Du Heng was quite confused now. Xuan Yu was not here, and he didn't even have anyone to discuss things with.
Wonton whimpered and stretched out his paw to touch Du Heng's clothes. Du Heng turned around and saw that Wonton was still covered in dirt. Du Heng forced a comforting smile: "Let me give you a bath? Look how dirty you are."
There was no warm spiritual spring in the Saint's Temple, so Du Heng used the water-drawing talisman to draw a large basin of water. The water from washing the wontons turned black and red. Du Heng felt that he needed to keep himself busy, and he couldn't think about it anymore.
His wild thoughts didn't help him in any way except making him feel bad.
The Sage Temple was a forbidden place for the demons, and Du Heng didn't have the courage to set up a stove and cook in the Sage Temple. But he could put his own cave in the small courtyard to keep himself busy.
The goslings didn't know what happened. After staying in the cave for a night, they asked Du Heng for food. Du Heng placed a special food bowl for the goslings by the pond. Watching the goslings eat, he felt like he was alive again.
With Du Heng's supplies, the generals had a good meal after a good sleep. Everyone was not lazy, and after the meal they split into two groups and patrolled around the Saint Temple.

Just as Lao Dao said, the monsters were still determined to kill Jing Nan, and that night they once again organized their forces to attack the Saint Temple. But how could the Saint Temple, which was guarded by four generals, be so easy to break through? Moreover, the barrier of the Saint Temple was so strong that ordinary monsters could not get close at all.
Du Heng actually had a good sleep that night. In his cave, he slept soundly while holding Xiaoxiao in his arms. With Xiao Wonton guarding his bedside, Du Heng felt very safe.
In the middle of the night, Du Heng suddenly felt someone beside the bed. He woke up with a start: "Who!" Just as Du Heng was about to turn over and get up, Xuan Yu's voice came: "It's me."
Hearing Xuan Yu's voice, Du Heng's heart suddenly settled down. He felt that his confusion and uneasiness had all dissipated: "Lao Dao and the others said that you would be back in two days, how come you came back so soon? Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat."
Xuan Yu leaned over and held Du Heng down: "I'm not hungry, I just want to hug you."
Du Heng saw that Xuan Yu's face was full of guilt. He reached out and touched his face: "What's wrong? Did you see the situation in the village?"
Xuan Yu hugged Du Heng tenderly: "I put you in danger. I knew that the monsters might move, but I still left the village. I am not a qualified Taoist partner."
Du Heng smiled and said, "I'm fine, right? Look, I've even formed a pill. Jing Nan and Xiao Xiao are also fine. If it weren't for you and Jing Nan's preparations, I would be in trouble. You don't know how powerful Lao Dao and the others are..."
Xuan Yu sealed Du Heng's words with a kiss, and Du Heng felt Xuan Yu trembling. Xuan Yu was afraid. The past two days were too dangerous. Du Heng was exposed to the sharp teeth of monsters several times. Xuan Yu regretted it so much: "I'm sorry..."
Du Heng patted Xuan Yu on the back and said, "Don't say that. We are all fine. Just think about how lucky we are. We all survived so many monsters. Oh, I want to especially praise Xiao Wonton. If it weren't for Xiao Wonton, Jing Nan and I would be in danger..."
Xuan Yu kissed Du Heng's lips, and his hands pulled open Du Heng's clothes: "Hmm..."
Du Heng's breath was unstable: "Xiao Wonton is a good dog, ah~"
Xuan Yu's actions were both gentle and domineering, and Du Heng soon threw down his weapons and forgot what he was going to say.
The next morning, Du Heng got up with backache. The golden sunlight had already passed through the curtains. Du Heng rubbed his waist and looked around. He saw Xuan Yu still lying quietly. Xuan Yu looked particularly good when he was asleep. Du Heng stretched out his finger and slid it across his nose.
The fingers slid across the bridge of the nose, kissed the corner of the lips, rubbed the chin, and finally landed on the Adam's apple. Xuan Yu opened his eyes and saw Du Heng. Tenderness appeared in Xuan Yu's eyes: "Morning."
Du Heng kissed Xuan Yu on the lips: "Are you exhausted from the journey yesterday? What would you like to eat this morning?"
Xuan Yu hugged Du Heng: "Anything is fine, I like everything you do."
When Du Heng got up from the bed, he remembered something: "By the way, Xiaoxiao and I slept together last night. Where is Xiaoxiao?"
Xuan Yu smiled and said, "Feng Gui took her away." Du Heng was delighted: "Feng Gui is back too? Did you two agree on that?"
There is a pond in front of Du Heng's cave, and a wooden plank road beside the pond. When Du Heng opened the door, he saw Jing Nan in green clothes feeding geese on the plank road. Jing Nan had returned to the way he looked when Du Heng first saw him.
Du Heng couldn't suppress his smile: "Jingnan! Jingnan, you're awake! How do you feel? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Jing Nan smiled and said, "I'm fine. Thank you Du Heng. If it weren't for you, I would be in danger."
Du Heng was extremely uncomfortable with Jing Nan's sudden seriousness. Du Heng felt that he still liked the willful and mean Jing Nan who liked to act coquettishly and ask for duck food from him.
After a while, Xiaoxiao ran towards Du Heng on the plank road, flapping her little wings: "Chirp, chirp!" She was in a panic, and no one knew what was going on.
When Du Heng looked behind Xiaoxiao, he understood why Xiaoxiao reacted like that.
Feng Gui walked over leisurely with his hands in his pockets: "Good morning."
Xiaoxiao was horrified. He had clearly slept with Du Heng last night, but he didn't expect that when he woke up in the morning, he would face his uncle's face! He was so scared that his heart almost stopped.
Today's breakfast was fried dumplings and tofu soup. Du Heng took away his refrigerator and stove but not his dining table. Everyone at the table gathered around the stove with bowls in hand and ate the fried dumplings casually.
Chonghua was so happy that he almost bubbled up: "I'm so happy. Fortunately, Yun Zheng didn't come, otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat such delicious food."
Xuan Yu and the others were not so relaxed. Jing Nan asked them: "Xiao Yu, do you think there was someone behind the monster's sneak attack on the village?"
Xuan Yu said: "I can accurately know when you shed your fur and when your tail grows. I don't believe it if no one is watching."
Feng Gui ate his shengjian with narrowed eyes: "The thirteen tribes have changed their leaders for eight tribes, and you, the demon god, are the last to know about it. It seems that they have been dissatisfied with you for a long time. I told you a long time ago that those ambitious people in your tribe cannot be kept. Look, you are betraying your own people."
Jing Nan smiled and said, "How can you be sure that it is someone from our clan? It is also possible that Xiaoyu's clan also contributed."
Du Heng was confused: "What are you talking about?"
Xuan Yu explained in detail: "The number of monsters that attacked the village this time is huge, and it is not something that can be organized by one or two monsters. We have had an idea for a long time. Why do we organize people to kill monsters every year, but the monsters continue to appear and cannot be killed? What power do they have to avoid the detection of our many subordinates and appear in groups?"
Feng Gui chuckled and said, "As we all know, monsters are weak and powerful but their IQ is not very high. Although there are often monsters wandering around the village, a few of them alone are not enough to cause any trouble. However, there are tens of thousands of monsters that attacked the village this time. Although they are not very powerful monsters, they are still enough to shock people. When did such a large army of monsters occupy the South Mountain and the West Mountain?"
Lao Dao was also wondering: "I patrol the South Mountain and the West Mountain every day. I saw that the number of monsters was not right a few days ago, so I hurriedly contacted Chonghua for rescue. These monsters gathered within three days after the Dragon King left. I was also surprised that the leading monster was not very powerful..."
Jing Nan smiled and said, "As everyone knows, Feng Jun is in the south all year round. There are only Xuan Yu and I in the village. I was weak when I grew my tail. If Xuan Yu was transferred away, thousands of monsters would be able to break through the barrier of Xuan Yu's subordinates even if they used a human sea battle. Even if I had Lao Dao by my side, it would be useless."
Du Heng was confused, he silently added a bowl of tofu soup for himself. He felt that with his IQ, he might not understand.
Xuan Yu added a little mustard sprouts to Du Heng's tofu soup and said, "To put it simply, we suspect that one of our subordinates is planning to rebel."
Jing Nan sipped the soup and nodded: "Yes, kill me first, then Xuan Yu, and finally Feng Gui can't escape. It is well known that the three of us have a good relationship, to deal with people like us, just defeat them one by one."
Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu dimly: "But... words are not enough, where is the evidence?"
Feng Gui said, "Too many. Xuan Yu and Jing Nan haven't returned to the territory for a long time in recent years. The voices in their territory calling for a change of demon gods are getting louder every year. This time, we can accurately know that Jing Nan can transfer Xuan Yu during his weak period. Who would believe it if it was a coincidence?"
Zhou Xiyue said weakly: "Master Xuan, didn't you receive a malicious letter before? Could this also be a strategy against you?"
Xuan Yu replied, "If it were me before, I would have returned to the Dragon Tribe immediately after receiving the black letter. The Dragon Tribe's territory is far away, and it would take at least three to five months for me to return. They could have launched a surprise attack after I left, but unfortunately I didn't leave immediately this time. So they tried another plan if one failed. In short, they just wanted to take advantage of Jing Nan's illness to kill him."
Jing Nan laughed sarcastically: "I don't know which one of our three tribes has given up their integrity for the sake of position, and actually controlled the monsters, not afraid of backlash."
It is very simple to know the situation in the village. Just send a small demon beast to circle around the mountain near the village every day, and several people in the village will know it clearly.
Jing Nan chuckled and said, "I almost fell into their trap. They planned everything but missed Du Heng and Xiao Wonton."
Du Heng was stunned. What does Xiao Wonton have to do with it? Du Heng glanced at Xiao Wonton, who looked at him innocently.
Du Heng suddenly remembered something, and he slapped his thigh fiercely: "Oh, right! When Wonton pounced on the monster that night, I heard Xuan Yu's voice!"
Jing Nan and Feng Gui looked at Xuan Yu with gloating eyes, but Xuan Yu remained calm: "I tied a little distraction to Wonton, so I can sense when you are in danger. Fortunately, I could not have returned in time if the village had been attacked, and I would not have been able to contact the Zhou brothers to help."
Xuan Yu's words made a lot of sense, and Du Heng was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears. Jing Nan and Feng Gui sighed in unison, and Du Heng had fallen deeply into Xuan Yu's beauty trap and couldn't extricate himself. He believed everything Xuan Yu said.
Feng Gui finished the tofu soup in the bowl in one gulp. He put the bowl aside and said, "You two, I have an idea. Since they want this position, how about we give it to them?"
Jing Nan raised his eyebrows: "Huh? You mean... let them fight for it?"
Xuan Yu said calmly: "You can only fish in troubled waters. As long as we are still in the position of demon gods, we are targets. If we disappear, those with wolfish ambitions will be exposed."
Du Heng was even more confused: "Huh?"
Jing Nan patted Du Heng's shoulder sympathetically: "Isn't Xiaoyu's natal spirit sword in the human cultivation world? Isn't the Hunyuan Pearl there too? Once we find the Hunyuan Pearl, maybe we can restore Xiaoxiao's spirit roots. And we can also look for Xiaoyu's spirit sword. After all, Xiaoyu will have to go to the Dragon Clan to fight in three years."
Feng Gui squinted his eyes happily: "After being a demon god for so many years, I am also tired. Let's go to the human world and take a look at the scenery of humans."
Du Heng: ...As expected of a demon god, his thoughts are so outrageous that he is dizzy after hearing it. But he understood one thing, they can no longer live in the village, they have to go to the human cultivation world!
195
Having made the decision to go to the world of human cultivators, Feng Gui and his companions began to prepare. They set up many barriers in front of the Saint Temple, and then moved the most important things in the Saint Temple away. Du Heng also wanted to go in and see what was in the Saint Temple, but Xuan Yu and his companions would not let him in. They said that his cultivation was not good enough and he would be harmed by the demonic power if he went in.
What else could Du Heng say? Nothing a Jindan cultivator could do in front of the demon god would be good enough. It was really too difficult.
The formation in the square can be seen with a sky full of stars even in the daytime, and the sunlight shining on the stone slabs seems to be shooting into the endless void. The starry sky on the stone slabs is shining, and the rotating nebulae are so gorgeous that people can't take their eyes away.
As he watched, Du Heng couldn't help but walk to the edge of the square. What kind of formation is this? It looks so spectacular!
Seeing Du Heng standing at the edge of the square in a daze, Chonghua pulled Du Heng and said, "Hey, how dare you stand at the edge of the formation in a daze, do you want to die?"
Du Heng suddenly came back to his senses: "I just think this formation is so beautiful." Chonghua was being too serious. Would he die if he stood on the edge of the formation?
Chonghua smiled and said, "Of course it looks good. This is the Zhoutian Star Formation used by the ancient demon god Dijun. When you stood on the edge, didn't you feel your strength being sucked away by the formation?"
After Chonghua reminded him, Du Heng realized that a lot of his spiritual energy had been sucked away without him noticing! Du Heng was so scared that he broke into a sweat. This was too dangerous! If Chonghua hadn't reminded him, wouldn't he have been drained of his cultivation by the formation?
Du Heng asked weakly: "What is this formation used for?"
Chonghua narrowed his eyes and said, "This formation can predict everything you want to know, but of course it will cost you a heavy price. Don't even think about touching this formation unless you have reached the Spiritual Transformation Stage, or the formation will backfire and kill you on the spot."
Du Heng was shocked: "Is it so terrible?"
Chonghua said: "Of course, otherwise why do you think the Saint Temple became a forbidden place for the demon race? The demon cultivators who can enter the Saint Temple must first have outstanding cultivation, and secondly, they must be recognized by the formation."
Du Heng laughed: "How can a formation recognize people? Are you joking?"
Chonghua narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm not kidding. This formation is alive. Those who can enter the temple must first be recognized by the formation, and then they can tell fortunes on the formation. Otherwise, so many people have secrets, and everyone who wants to pry into other people's secrets will come to the temple to ask. Wouldn't the formation be very annoying?"
Du Heng wiped his sweat and said, "I think what you said makes sense." Chonghua said proudly, "It makes sense. Those who can stand in this temple are recognized people!"
At this time, Lao Dao walked up to Du Heng and said, "Mr. Du, Lord Jing is looking for you."
Du Heng responded and followed Lao Dao. As he walked, he thought of a question that had been in his mind for a long time: "Lao Dao, can I ask you something?"
Lao Dao stood respectfully: "Mr. Du, please speak."
Du Heng asked, "Is the title of sir common in the demon world?"
Since he entered the demon world, he often heard the word "sir". However, in Du Heng's impression, human cultivators would call cultivators with higher cultivation than themselves "senior".
The reason why he had this question was that in his hometown, "Mr." was a literary title that existed in ancient times. Those who taught and educated people could be called "Mr.", and those who were older than oneself and had a certain social status could also be called "Mr."... Was this also the meaning of "Mr." in the demon world?
Du Heng searched the original owner's memory for a long time, but couldn't find any memory related to this. Thinking that he was about to go to the human cultivation world, he wanted to ask about it, so as not to make a fool of himself.
Lao Dao said respectfully: "In the entire demon world, there are currently only four people who are qualified to be called sir. They are Lord Long, Lord Feng, Lord Jing, and you."
Du Heng was petrified. "Hey? Me? What does it have to do with me?"
Du Heng secretly thought, is it because he and Xuan Yu became a Taoist couple that he got this treatment? But that's not right. When he first came to Lingxi Town, Zhou Xiyue and the others called him Mr. Du.
Sure enough, it was because of Xuan Yu, right? Du Heng walked forward thoughtfully. He wanted to ask Lao Dao, but Lao Dao frowned and looked unhappy, so Du Heng didn't dare to speak.
After a while, he saw Jing Nan, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard. Seeing Du Heng, he smiled and said, "Xiao Yu and the others have gone to the temple to work. I was afraid that you would be lonely, so I came to talk to you."
Du Heng nodded: "Yeah, okay."
Jing Nan has been too gentle since he grew his seventh tail. Now he doesn’t even clamor for duck... I’m not used to it.
Jing Nan pointed to the path in front of the hut that led to the east and said, "Want to take a walk?"
Du Heng was stunned for a moment. What? We can still walk around? Isn't there only one thatched house in this yard?
As he walked downhill to the east, Du Heng suddenly thought of something. When he first saw the thatched cottage, he thought that the path to the east would lead to a fruit forest, and through the orchard he would see a stream.
Walking on the forest path, Du Heng felt like he was in another world. He once again witnessed the magic of cultivation methods. Could this be the legendary mustard seed space? Why had he walked for two cups of tea and still not reached the end of the yard?
After a while, Du Heng saw a fruit forest flashing before his eyes. The orchard was full of fruits! Du Heng saw Xiaoxiao and Nianniansuisui standing on a pear tree, eating pears.
Du Heng was stunned. He felt like he had seen this scene somewhere before. It was so familiar! Xiao Xiao saw him coming and he plucked a gray-skinned pear and threw it to Du Heng: "Chirp."
Du Heng took the pear and looked at it in a trance. He had seen this scene before, although he didn't remember where he had seen it, but he had definitely seen it!
Jing Nan reached out and took the other pear that Xiaoxiao threw to him: "Thanks." Xiaoxiao squatted on the pear tree and laughed.
Jing Nan turned around while chewing a pear and saw Du Heng looking thoughtful. He smiled and said, "Does it feel familiar?"
Du Heng nodded: "Yeah, I always feel like I've been here before! Jing Nan, tell me the truth, have I been here before?"
Jing Nan's eyes flashed with gold, and his smile was particularly gentle: "I can't tell you, you need to slowly confirm it yourself. Du Heng, what others tell you may not be true, but what you feel for yourself will definitely not be false."
Du Heng smiled awkwardly. Yes, he was too impatient. He felt that since arriving at the Saint Temple, this familiar feeling had become stronger and stronger. To be honest, this feeling made him both excited and scared.
After passing through the orchard, Du Heng heard the sound of gurgling water, and he actually saw his little geese playing in the water!
Looking at the goslings in the water, Du Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why did you let them out? We are leaving the Saint Temple soon. It will be troublesome if they get lost."
Jing Nan said: "Xiao Yu has integrated this world into your cave. From now on, you can travel around with our childhood home."
Du Heng turned around in shock: "What did you say?"
The thatched house in the backyard of the Saint Temple is where Jingnan and his friends have lived since childhood, and it means a lot to Xiaoyu and his friends. Now they have integrated it into his cave. Are they crazy? If anything goes wrong with his cave, their home will be gone!
Jing Nan ate the sweet pear and said calmly, "We are about to go to the human cultivation world. We cannot guarantee that no one will enter the Saint Temple after we leave. We must carry important things with us so that we can always look at them when we miss home."
Du Heng thought about it and felt that what Jing Nan said made sense. He thought that he would take good care of his cave in the future, as it was all the belongings of them.
Jing Nan asked Du Heng: "By the way, did you see those broken scales in the corridor?"
Jing Nan's questions were always off-topic. Du Heng nodded honestly: "Yeah, I saw it. What's wrong?"
Jing Nan narrowed his eyes and said, "I suggest you put them away properly."
Du Heng didn't quite understand what Jing Nan meant, but he didn't ask why. If Jing Nan said to put it away, he would put it away.
Jing Nan had an opinion: "Why don't you ask me why?"
Du Heng smiled and said, "If you want to tell me, I will tell you myself."
Jing Nan choked for a moment, and took a bite of the pear: "Hey, I really don't want to tell you now."

Du Heng felt very sad as he watched the village disappear bit by bit. He didn't have time to harvest the vegetables in the field, nor did he have time to go back to see his family. He didn't know when he would be able to come back.
Even if the village was reduced to ashes, Du Heng still felt that he should go back and take a look, maybe there were some things left. If he couldn't find anything, he could just give up.
