Chapter 664: Turning against guests
"As the special envoy of Mingjian Pavilion, I demand that you take me to see the person in charge here immediately! Do not delay for even a moment!"

Fu Qingzhou's voice like a loud bell resounded throughout the Miao village, and Rong Yu also opened his eyes.

Of course he was not sleeping, but meditating.

He was shirtless, with a large crack on his chest, but it was not a wound. Rather, it looked like a mouth that could not be opened. Snakes of all sizes were crawling all over his body, with some small snakes even moving in and out of the crack.

And when he opened his eyes, the crack closed instantly.

Some small snakes that didn't have time to crawl out were immediately crushed to death by the closing crack, while the rest of the snakes seemed to be frightened and quickly crawled away.

On the bed, the big green snake that was originally dozing off opened its eyes.

"Exposed? So quickly?"

Rong Yu frowned.

At this moment, there was no smile on his face and he looked extremely gloomy.

Before he could react, a black shadow appeared out of nowhere on the ground of the hut, and then the black shadow stood up and turned into a black monkey with four tails.

It ran and jumped in a panic, jumped onto the bed, climbed up by clinging to Rong Yu's arm, and then crawled towards his mouth.

And Rong Yu naturally opened his mouth wide and let it go into his mouth!

Soon, the "monkey" nimbly squeezed into a mouth that was much smaller than its body and disappeared.

Rong Yu's chest heaved and his expression showed a hint of pain, as if he had swallowed something extremely bitter.

"This Fu Qingzhou was able to discover it and scare it away..."

He murmured, reaching out to touch the head of the big green snake beside him: "Junior sister, what do you think we should do?"

The big green snake slowly stood up, spitting out its tongue, with a fierce light flashing in its eyes.

"kill?"

Rong Yu shook his head with a serious expression: "We can't kill him, and those people won't allow us to kill him."

The big green snake tilted its head, as if confused.

"The evil spirit can't do anything to him, so we can only think of other ways."

Rong Yu said in a deep voice: "Those damned monks clearly wanted to capture Fu Qingzhou, but they refused to do it themselves... If it weren't for them..."

He was halfway through his words when his expression suddenly changed. A smile instantly appeared on his gloomy face, and his whole temperament became cheerful and generous.

At the same time, a burst of dense footsteps came from outside the house.

Rong Yu stood up quickly, and the big green snake skillfully coiled around him and put its head on his shoulder.

He took the initiative to walk to the door and pushed it open.

Then, he met Fu Qingzhou who was coming towards him.

"Oh?"

Fu Qingzhou saw Rong Yu coming out to greet him, his eyes flickered: "Elder Rong?"

At this time, he was no longer a young knight, but a special envoy of Mingjian Pavilion, so naturally he didn't need to be addressed as a senior anymore.

"Young Master Fu...haha, no, I should call you Master Fu." Rong Yu grinned and said, "I heard everything you said just now. Did you really encounter a demon?"

Fu Qingzhou did not answer directly, but turned around and looked at the Miao people who followed him.

"Elder."

A middle-aged Miao man stepped forward, bowed, and said helplessly: "According to what Master Fu described, it is indeed a demon."

"Ah... this is a bit troublesome." Rong Yu thought: "Why is there a demon here?"

"I'm afraid there's a problem on the front line."

Fu Qingzhou said calmly: "Elder Rong, can we talk to each other for a few words?"

"Of course." Rong Yu leaned over and made a gesture of invitation towards the room: "Please."

Fu Qingzhou held the hilt of the long sword with his right hand and his left hand on the quiver. When he entered the door, the corner of the large bow behind him hit Rong Yu intentionally or unintentionally. Rong Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, but he still took a step forward and avoided it.

Rong Yu kept smiling, and before closing the door, he took a deep look at the Miao people outside.

"Elder..." The middle-aged Miao man who was in the lead seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Rong Yu just closed the door silently.

The moment the door closed, a hint of murderous intent emanated from the big green snake on his shoulder, but the next second, Rong Yu's hand gently stroked its forehead, suppressing the murderous intent.

Fu Qingzhou's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Although he had his back to Rong Yu, he also felt the fleeting killing intent. However, since it was fleeting, it meant that... at least now, Rong Yu did not dare to take action.

"Elder Rong."

A smile appeared on his face. He turned around and said with a smile, "You told me today that you caught a few evil spirits. Not many people know about this, right? I didn't publicize it to anyone."

"Thank you, Master Fu." Rong Yu laughed and said, "Not many people know about this."

"So, let's go see where you imprison those evil spirits."

Fu Qingzhou said: "That thing came to me, I'm afraid one or two of them escaped."

Rong Yu’s gaze paused slightly.

"I have asked them to seal off the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain." Fu Qingzhou continued, "And asked them to track down the evil spirit first - but I think we still have to confirm whether it is the evil spirit you caught, right?"

He smiled and said, "If not, then there must be a problem on the front line, and the trouble we will face will be huge."

After saying this, he looked deeply at Rong Yu, and their eyes met.

Rong Yu barely hesitated, and immediately smiled and said, "For such a big matter, of course we have to listen to Lord Fu's arrangements! Of course I have to go and see it, but..."

"Just?" Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows.

"May I ask your Excellency..."

Rong Yu lowered his voice and grinned, "Did you know that there are strong and weak monsters?"

"Oh?" Fu Qingzhou asked back, "How do we divide it?"

"A cultivator in the fifth realm can easily find and kill a weak demon. However, some powerful demons can even sneak up on the strong men in the cave and cast a spell on them."

Rong Yu smiled and said, "The ones I caught are all very powerful."

Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows: "So?"

"Master Fu, you...although you can find and drive away evil spirits tonight, you still need to be extra careful when approaching the ones I caught."

Rong Yu laughed and said, "But don't worry, we have countermeasures."

Then he stretched out his hand, palm facing up.

The big green snake seemed to have received some kind of signal. It leaned its head forward, opened its mouth, and spit gently into his palm.

A red pill with strange patterns on it suddenly appeared in Rong Yu's palm.

It was said to be a pill, but it was actually trembling slightly and making a sound similar to the chirping of cicadas, like a living thing.

"This is the Mingshen Gu."

Rong Yu smiled and said, "Master Fu, if you take it, you will not be afraid of evil spirits."

Fu Qingzhou walked forward, picked up the so-called Mingshen Gu, and looked at it between his fingers.

“Is there such a good thing?”

He asked "curiously": "Hua Xiaolan, Kua Ye, and Elder Yu have never eaten it? Otherwise, how could they be replaced? And you have this thing, why are you still fighting so hard on the front line?"

"Haha, the Mingshen Gu is not easy to refine, and the quantity is extremely small. Not everyone in the frontline can have it."

Rong Yu smiled and said, "And its effect only lasts for five to seven days. People who stay in the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain usually don't eat it."

"I see."

Fu Qingzhou smiled slightly and threw the Mingshen Gu high into the air.

If this thing could really resist the influence of evil spirits, he would eat the big green snake on the spot.

Rong Yu had previously tried to use a demon to replace himself, but failed. It was obvious that he was going to use this opportunity to find another way.

but……

Fu Qingzhou was really afraid that Rong Yu would not cause trouble.

The more trouble you cause, the more opportunities I will have to cause trouble for you.

The Mingshen Gu drew a high parabolic arc in the air and then fell into his open mouth.

It slid down the esophagus into the stomach very smoothly, and a strange force seemed to slowly spread in Fu Qingzhou's body.

"Okay, I've taken it."

He smiled at Rong Yu and said, "Let's go."
