Mortal bone

After pouring a large gulp of wine into his mouth in a "grumbling" manner, he suddenly grinned and said:

"Being a human being, you should cultivate yourself, cross people, and be like water, living in an abyss of evil and doing good... That's really good."

After saying this to himself, he took another sip of wine, then wiped the corners of his mouth with his rag-like sleeve and continued to murmur:

"I didn't expect that many years later, I heard this from an anonymous disciple of the outer sect. It's ridiculous, ridiculous!"

After saying this, he turned sideways, supported his head with his hands and yawned, then looked in the direction of Qingzhuju, and his tone suddenly became extremely harsh:

"Stay in the abyss of evil and do good. If this is your Dao heart, then show me your means of protecting Dao. I, Jian Jiu, hate people who speak wild words the most!"

……

One evening nine days later.

Sheep and Deer Mountain, Purple Bamboo Forest.

"boom!"

Xu Taiping performed the "green bull crashing into the mountain", smashing a monster wolf that was rushing towards him, and sent it flying backwards.

But soon, two more monster wolves rushed from behind Xu Taiping.

"The true qi has been consumed almost, it seems that I have to go back."

Xu Taiping looked into the depths of the bamboo forest with some reluctance.

In the depths of the purple bamboo forest, a rotting ghoul was holding a big axe, chopping a rock on the ground vigorously.

Below this rock is the spring that flows into the water source of Qingzhuju. As long as the big rock that covers the spring is split open and then blocked, the water vein flowing to Qingzhuju will be cut off. The spiritual herbs in the medicine garden will wither, and even the barrier of the Green Bamboo Residence may fail.

"boom!"

At this time, the ghoul slammed the ax heavily on the rock again, stirring up a wave of spiritual power and countless flying debris.

This ax made another crack in the rock engraved with runes.

"Little guy, it's too late to regret it now!"

The ghoul held the ax and turned to look at Xu Taiping with a terrifying smile.

There is no doubt that this ghoul is the new body possessed by the ghost.

"It's unknown who will kill the deer!"

While talking, Xu Taiping summoned up the true energy in his body and used a "Running Bull Charge".

Accompanied by a roar of anger like a bull's roar, the two demon wolves that rushed towards him were thrown into the air by several fist shadows that suddenly appeared, and howled endlessly.

"Shh!"

Taking advantage of the time when the demon wolf was forced to retreat, Xu Taiping deftly grabbed a piece of purple bamboo, and with the help of the purple bamboo's elasticity, he jumped and escaped from the encirclement of the demon wolf.

"You can't even deal with a few demon wolves, and you still want to stop me from digging out the water veins? Hide, keep hiding, and in a few days, I'll see where you hide!"

Looking at the direction in which Xu Taiping fled, a stiff smile appeared on that ghost's face.

Since discovering that the water pulse spring is in the purple bamboo forest, this is not the first time Xu Taiping has come here to stop the ghost in the past nine days, but every time he returned in a complete defeat, which made the ghost even more proud.

……

Go back to Green Bamboo Residence.

"Crash..."

Xu Taiping took a basin of cold water from the water tank and poured it all over his body, washing away all the sweat all over his body.

After doing all this, he quickly wiped off the water on his body, put on clean clothes, walked into the bedroom, and sat down in front of a simple table made by himself.

"The fifth sneak attack on the ghost ghost failed. This time, it used about [-]% of its strength, which was [-]% less than last time. The ghost ghost didn't find anything abnormal. The weakness of the three demon wolves has also been found out. The one with the scar at the corner of the eye The hind leg is injured, so it can be killed from behind. The smallest eye is injured, and the reaction is slower than the other two..."

Xu Taiping took a pen to write down the experience gained from this sneak attack one by one.

During these five sneak attacks, especially the last two, he actually had a chance to kill the three demon wolves, but in order to confuse the ghost and avoid being injured before he fought the ghost, he deliberately kept his hand. up.

"It has been tested five times in a row, and that ghost should have thought that it is my full strength. Next, I just need to try my best to improve my skill, and it is best to raise the Can Xia skill to the freezing stage in one go."

Xu Taiping put down his pen, thought silently for a moment, then walked to the bedside and sat down.

After the Canxia skill is raised to the freezing stage, not only can the protective power of Canxia's protective body energy can be greatly improved, but also Canxia's true energy can be condensed into ice.

"If you break through the freezing period, you can seal the jars of wine you bought in ice, so that ghost won't find out."

He glanced at the jars of spirits placed by the bed.

Although the people in Xifeng Pavilion turned a blind eye to ghosts, when Xu Taiping wanted to buy something, they would still send spirit birds to bring it.

It's a pity that the spirit birds delivered these few times were not Bai Hong, and they were all very indifferent, otherwise Xu Taiping could ask them for help.

"Don't always think about relying on others. Didn't Sister Linglong say that at the foot of this mountain, the unnamed disciples of the outer sect can only rely on themselves."

Xu Taiping shook his head to regain his composure.

Following him, he directly threw a soybean spirit crystal into his mouth, and began to prepare to try to raise the Cangxia Qi in his body to the freezing stage.

……

In a blink of an eye, another three days passed.

In the past few days, Xu Taiping practiced Canxia Kung almost without eating or drinking, even when the water source in the garden was cut off, he never wavered, it seemed that he had entered into a state of ecstasy.

"Little guy, come out and die!"

In the afternoon of that day, the ghost brought three demon wolves to the gate of Qingzhu Residence again.

Although it was delayed for a few days by Xu Taiping's intrusion, the ghost finally completely blocked the spring in the Yanglu Mountain Purple Bamboo Forest today.

"boom!"

Seeing that there was no response in the house, the ghost jumped off the wolf, and then slashed at the gate of Qingzhuju with a ghostly look.

"boom!"

Although the enchantment around Qingzhuju has not completely dissipated, its power has been reduced a lot, and it will not hurt the ghosts like before.

"The power of the enchantment is indeed weakening."

A grin appeared on the ghost's face.

"Little guy, I will stay here tonight. When the barrier is completely dissipated, it will be your time of death. I will ask you to taste it at that time. Why can't you live if you can't die!"

He stood at the door of Qingzhuju and laughed loudly.

Just at this time, Xu Taiping who had been practicing for several days in the bedroom opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, the gray mist that had been swirling around him suddenly condensed into ice, and even the bed under him was frozen in a large piece.

"Condensing gas into ice, I have broken through the freezing period!"

Xu Taiping looked at the ice crystals flying around him, his eyes were full of excitement.

After breaking through the freezing period of Canxia Gong, he is qualified to attack the door-opening realm.

What's more, with Can Xia Ningbing's body-protecting true energy, his chances of winning against that ghost will undoubtedly increase by a few points.
