Chapter 12 He knows everything
An Zhi was receiving Meng Hong's output, while Luo Ling was not idle either.

In the evening, Elder Taiqing summoned Ke Dasheng, Luo Ling, and other disciples to the back mountain of Sanqing Palace. Ke Dasheng then led his disciples to guard the mountain gate, while he led Luo Ling and the other disciples into the back mountain to clear the area.

After a thorough search, the group found no trace of anyone or any demonic spirit.

"Elder, I suggest we release a demon spirit to lure him out; otherwise, he won't show up." After learning from her previous experiences, Luo Ling concluded that there had to be a demon in the back mountain.

Elder Taiqing frowned, deep in thought. Looking at the dense forest, he muttered to himself, full of doubt, "Where is this guy hiding? How did he get in and out of the training ground in the back mountain?"

A hundred questions were placed before Elder Taiqing. He looked at Luo Ling and asked, "Have you checked every corner of the back mountain? Could you have missed anything?"

Luo Ling reported: "Elder, we have checked all the places. The back mountain has always been the disciples' training ground for catching demons. Demons are not allowed to leave. Think about it, if there is a loophole, how can the demons not get out?"

That's a very insightful analysis. Demons are already ubiquitous and can go anywhere. If even demons can't get out, how can humans?

Elder Taiqing let out a long sigh of relief and could only nod, agreeing to Luo Ling's plan to continue the seduction.

In their view, the best way to quickly find the outsiders is to release demonic spirits to lure them out.

Seeing that Elder Taiqing had nodded, Luo Ling turned around and walked towards the practice platform on the back mountain.

The training platform on the back mountain is where various demons and spirits are sealed. Whenever disciples need to practice, they can unseal them here.

Looking at the spirits hidden among the spokes of the partition wall, Luo Ling lifted the cover of a fourth-tier spirit.

After looking at it for a long time and thinking about it for a long time, Luo Ling still gave up.

She suddenly had a terrible idea: to unseal a fifth-tier monster.

Fifth-tier monsters possess strong magic and intelligence, and can transform into various forms.

Seeing that no one was around, Luo Ling secretly vowed to make this fifth-level monster kill this uninvited guest tonight.

Luo Ling closed her eyes and began to gather her spiritual power. Immediately afterwards, a Bagua diagram appeared on her right palm.

Luo Ling struck the sealed talisman with her palm, and the talisman instantly burst into flames.

call……

Hahaha……

As a plume of black smoke flew from the partition into the woods, a burst of laughter followed closely behind.

Luo Ling was very satisfied as she watched the fifth-tier monster fly into the forest.

But soon, she sensed danger, instantly ducked, unfurled her long whip, and with a swift motion, the whip lashed out behind her.

Luo Ling's whip is elastic, capable of being both fierce and gentle. The sound of the whip is like an ancient war drum, causing monsters to retreat at the sound.

A red-clad monster vanished instantly after being struck by a whip, then flickered around.

"I let you go, but you want to kill me? Are you trying to repay kindness with enmity?" Luo Ling questioned.

Monster: "Hahahaha, you shameless people, you released me, but you just wanted to use me."

Next, the duel between the fifth-tier monster and the five-coin demon hunter officially began...

Indeed, it would be difficult for Luo Ling to defeat this monster. After trembling for a while, Luo Ling had no chance of winning.

In the end, they had no choice but to let the demon go and then work with Elder Taiqing to catch the man.

night,

Anzhi slowly opened his eyes, and the spiritual energy in his body seemed to be circulating smoothly.

Just now in the dream, Meng Hong helped An Zhi regulate the spiritual energy in his body.

After the commotion in the main hall today, Anzhi secretly vowed to cultivate diligently and make them look at him with new eyes.

"Snake Treasure, Snake Treasure!" Anzhi searched everywhere in the house for the spirit snake, but it was nowhere to be found.

After searching unsuccessfully, Anzhi had a bold idea: to go to the back mountain alone again tonight.

After taking a sip of tea, Anzhi picked up the Yuhua Sword wrapped in cloth and went down to the pavilion, sneaking around to the back.

"not good!"

Anzhi felt a chill down her spine, and she slowly turned her head in disbelief.

Fan Jin, leaning on his cane, stood like a ghost under a peach tree, looking at him.

"Oh no, this is bad." "Master, Master, Uncle-Master, why aren't you saying anything?" Anzhi quickly hid the Jade Flower Sword behind his back.

Fan Jin took two steps forward upon hearing this: "Anzhi, come here and chop this firewood. We need it for the beacon fire tomorrow."

"Ugh!" An Zhi was extremely frustrated. Asking him to chop wood at this time, was this old man crazy?

However, having no other choice, Anzhi could only awkwardly hide the Jade Flower Sword behind his back and walk toward the woodpile behind Fan Jin.

"Put the iron lump here, and take the axe." After saying this, Fan Jin turned and walked towards the chair.

Anzhi was certain that Fan Jin knew he had taken the Jade Flower Sword, and even more certain that what he was holding wrapped in cloth was the Jade Flower Sword, otherwise how would he know it was just a lump of iron?
"Hurry up, Uncle-Master still needs to sleep." Fan Jin said, then picked up his wine gourd and started drinking.

"Oh, oh, oh." Anzhi realized what was happening and started chopping wood with an axe. While his hands were busy, he asked, "Uncle-Master, do we have to chop wood tonight? Can't I get up and chop wood tomorrow morning?"

Fan Jin leisurely closed his eyes to rest and said, "No, we need it tomorrow."

……

And so, after an unknown amount of time, Anzhi chopped the wooden stakes into pieces one by one. Judging from the scale and quantity, he was no less capable than the male disciples in doing this.

Wiping the sweat from his brow, Anzhi straightened up to stretch, only to find Fan Jin already snoring away. He muttered, "Oh, the old man sleeps well."

“When people get old, they definitely need to sleep well to live a long life,” Fan Jin blurted out.

An Zhi was startled: "Uncle-Master, how could you hear me when my voice was so soft?"

"I'm not deaf!" Fan Jin retorted. "Don't stop, keep going."

Half an hour later...

Fan Jin opened his eyes and looked at An Zhi, who was stacking firewood, and nodded in satisfaction. Then he looked up at the moon that had appeared overhead and muttered to himself, "Hmm, that's about right, that's about right, just enough time."

Exhausted and covered in sweat, An Zhi asked, "Uncle-Master, when is enough time?"

Fan Jin struggled to his feet, leaning on his cane, and prepared to walk towards the pavilion.

Suddenly, Anzhi noticed that the Jade Flower Sword was glowing; although it was wrapped in cloth, the light inside could not be concealed.

Anzhi suddenly remembered something: what the spirit snake had said was that the Jade Flower Sword actually recognized its master.

Could this be a test? Anzhi felt he couldn't hide it any longer, so he dropped the firewood and quickly stepped forward to help him: "Uncle-Master, the Jade Flower Sword..."

"The Jade Flower Sword!" Fan Jin looked up at the sixth floor and blurted out, "That's right, it's on the sixth floor."

Before Anzhi could react, Fan Jin continued softly, "Don't wander off. There's a book on my desk; feel free to take a look."

Anzhi blinked and replied indifferently, "Oh."

Never mind, Anzhi secretly saw that Fan Jin had already gone upstairs, quickly piled up all the firewood, and then, sword in hand, crawled to the back wall of the pavilion. But when he arrived, he was dumbfounded; the dog hole was completely blocked.

The spirit snake led her to this dog hole, and she didn't know how long it had existed. Although it was called a dog hole, it was actually a long and narrow passage. It would take a long time for a person to crawl on their stomach to reach a haystack on the back mountain.

The dog hole is now blocked, with a large piece of wood stuck inside, and it has been physically reinforced.

Feeling disappointed, Anzhi wearily returned to the yard. Looking at the neatly stacked firewood, she could only helplessly go upstairs.

Pushing open the door, Anzhi was surprised to see a book on the square table. She remembered that Fan Jin had mentioned there was a book on the table for her to look at, so she quickly stepped forward and picked it up—"The Method of Regulating Spiritual Energy".

Anzhi couldn't wait to put down the Jade Flower Sword in his hand and then began to examine it.

The "Spiritual Energy Regulation Method" records the method of regulating the spiritual energy within a demon hunter's body, and how to balance the energy through several acupoints.

“This old man…” An Zhi murmured to himself with delight.

“This old man loves you.” The serpent suddenly appeared at the window: “He just let it in.”

An Zhi said definitively, "Then he must know about my affairs and the Jade Flower Sword."

"Nonsense, he's not senile. It's precisely because he accepted you that the Jade Flower Sword accepted you. Otherwise, how could you carry the Jade Flower Sword around? It would have devoured you long ago." After saying that, the spirit snake jumped onto the table.

……

Late at night, on the back mountain

Elder Taiqing and his entourage lay in ambush on the back mountain, determined to capture the troublemaker at Sanqing Mountain tonight.

But as time went by, there was still no movement until the hour of Yin (3-5 AM)...
