Mortal bone

Xu Taiping didn't say anything when he heard that, he just grinned.

The tiger demon's unprepared answer just confirmed what the ghost said just now, which made him feel relieved a lot.

"Little thing, after three months, I will definitely peel your skin, cram your tendons, and make your soul into a wick, and suffer from the burning pain of your soul day and night!"

The Tiger King had never been teased like this before, the roar of anger, even if it was just a phantom of the soul, still shook the house in the Green Bamboo Residence violently.

Xu Taiping, who was standing directly opposite him, was even more shocked.

If it wasn't for Canxia's true energy protecting his body, he might have passed out.

But after the sound, the phantom of the Tiger King disappeared, as if he had exhausted the power hidden in the ghost's body.

"This is the strength after a serious injury. If he hadn't been injured, how powerful would this Tiger King be?"

Xu Taiping was terrified, and had a new understanding of the strength of the Tiger King that Qingmei and the gangster said.

However, although there was horror in his heart, he did not feel timid because of fear, but a strong fighting spirit arose instead.

This is probably related to the environment in which he lived alone since he was a child. When encountering difficulties, he can only solve them head-on, and cannot choose to escape like other children who have parents as their support.

"Clatter..."

Just when the flames were extinguished, there was a sound of coins falling to the ground in the trap.

Xu Taiping looked inside cautiously, under the moonlight above his head, he could only see a pile of merit coins and two invisible objects lying in the middle of the ashes.

"Could it be something that ghost hid with a secret method?"

Xu Taiping guessed in his heart.

When he read the introductory book before, he had seen that ghosts and monsters have their own ways of hiding things. For example, tiger monsters like to hide in their stomachs, and elephant monsters like to hide in their noses.

"To prevent fraud, let's put it inside for a few nights first, and then check it after I repair the big array of Qingzhuju."

Regardless of whether there are treasures inside or not, for safety reasons, Xu Taiping does not intend to go down now.

……

Qingzhu lives on the sheep and deer mountain behind.

"Courageous and resourceful, the old man didn't miss it."

A white-haired old man leaning against a branch of a big tree nodded with a smile, as if he was very satisfied with Xu Taiping's performance tonight.

"However, there is a long way to practice, and the courage and wisdom of a moment are small ways. After all, it still depends on talent. If you can break through the door-opening state after three years and perform well in the Qifeng Swordsmanship, the old man will definitely Consider making an exception and accepting you as a disciple."

The old man gently stroked his beard, then raised his head and drank the wine in the gourd in one gulp.

"The lazy and greedy people in Xifeng Pavilion, not to mention asking for money and goods from the disciples of the outer sect, even if the water spring in the place of practice has been dug out, no one came to check it. It's really lawless!"

When he said this, the old man's face turned cold all of a sudden, and a pair of small eyes burst into light.

"It's ridiculous, ridiculous that such a trivial matter should be done by my patriarch!"

After saying this, the old man stood up crookedly. He put the wine gourd on his waist, and stepped forward in the air with one step. A long bronze sword flew to his feet with a "swish". He burst out through the air.

……

"Rumble..."

"It's finally done."

Sheep and Deer Mountain, Purple Bamboo Forest.

It took Xu Taiping four or five days to finally dig through the blocked spring, and at the same time activated the mechanism array near the spring to hide it again.

"I was lucky today. Not to mention the restoration of the spring, I also hunted a gazelle."

Looking at the gazelle beside him that was frozen into ice cubes by his cangxia true energy, the corners of Xu Taiping's mouth could not help but slightly twitch.

After solving the problem of ghosts and cultivating Can Xia Gong to the freezing stage, everything went smoothly.

……

"Taiping, you are back."

"Uncle Bai?"

Just when Xu Taiping dragged the gazelle back to the Qingzhu residence, the bald eagle, a spirit bird he hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly appeared at the gate of the courtyard, and beside the bald eagle, stood a gray-haired man with a hood hanging around his waist. An old man who only drinks gourds.

"Uncle Bai, when did you come back?"

Xu Taiping put down the gazelle.

Although he was asking Bai Hong, his eyes were looking at the gray-haired old man.

"I just came back. This is a... friend... friend I met on the road. Everyone calls him Lao Jiu. We happened to pass by this Green Bamboo House, so we wanted to come to you for a meal."

Bai Hong, who usually speaks in a dignified tone, stutters today, which makes Xu Taiping very surprised.

"Little friend Taiping, Bai Hong and I have traveled thousands of miles, and I am very hungry. Can you light up the stove and cook us a meal?"

Lao Jiu rubbed his hands and asked with a smile.

"Uncle Bai is my friend, let alone a meal, even if you come to my place to eat every day, I am also very welcome, but if you are an old man, you have to pay."

He is generous to his friends and stingy to strangers, Xu Taiping is exactly the same as his grandfather.

"Taiping you..."

"Haha... Little friend Taiping is right, you have to pay for meals!"

Hearing this, Bai Hong was obviously a little nervous, as if she wanted to explain something to Xu Taiping, but she was interrupted by the old nine laughing.

"Clap!"

Lao Jiu shook his hand and threw a money bag in front of Xu Taiping.

"Little friend, there are three hundred merit coins in it, is it enough for a meal?"

He smiled and asked Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping didn't answer him immediately, but counted seven merit coins from the purse, then threw the purse back to the old man and said:

"I don't have any good food at home. For this meal, seven merit coins are enough."

After receiving the money, when Xu Taiping looked at the old nine again, a smile appeared on his face.

Hearing the words, Lao Jiu laughed heartily again, then gave Xu Taiping a thumbs up:

"justice."

Seeing this, Bai Hong at the side wiped the sweat off his forehead, heaved a sigh of relief and said:

"Little Taiping, little Taiping, do you know who is standing in front of you? Fortunately, he is not angry."

But before coming here, Lao Jiu had already informed him, so he could only hold these words in his heart and dare not say them out.

……

"Old man, the fire can't be too big, make it smaller, smaller."

"Uncle Bai, help me peel some cloves of garlic and chop some green onions."

In the kitchen room of Qingzhu Residence, Lao Jiu was lighting the fire, Bai Hong with eagle head and human body was chopping vegetables, and Xu Taiping was in charge of frying vegetables, they were extremely busy.

"Brother Taiping, you see, I already lit a fire for you, can you pay less for this meal?"

Lao Jiu brushed his hair, and then discussed with Xu Taiping with a smile.

"You old man, why are you still bargaining? If you don't help me light the fire, I will get eight merit coins for this meal!"

Xu Taiping wiped the sweat from his brow, and gave Lao Jiu a blank look.

"It makes sense, makes sense."

When Lao Jiu heard the words, he laughed again.

Bai Hong, who was chopping vegetables next to her, was startled again, and almost cut her paws off.
