You, a monster, still want to travel to the West?

"No need for that. The City God of Anshui County is here to see you!"

The man and the snake turned around immediately and saw a middle-aged man dressed like an official, wearing a purple robe and jade belt, with a dignified face standing close to them.

When the City God saw both the man and the snake looking at him, he raised his hands, clasped his fists, and bowed, saying, "I am Li Bubai, the City God of Anshui County. I am honored to meet you two immortals!"

……

Chapter 20: Ancestor Qingxin!

Since Li Chenghuang had paid his respects, Xia Zhiming saw that he was not looking for trouble, so he thought for a moment and nodded and said he had met him. Qingxin also imitated the warrior and clasped his fists, which made Xia Zhiming and Li Bubai laugh.

After the laughter died down, it was the City God who spoke first: "I, Li, have come uninvited. Please do not blame me, the two immortals."

"Let's stop with all the polite talk," Xia Zhiming interrupted him with a wag of his tail, then got straight to the point: "Why is City God Li here?"

The City God nodded, bent down, and knelt down, saying, "I am Li Bubai, the City God of Anshui County. Please, the two immortals, exorcise the demon!"

Xia Zhiming was stunned for a moment. He had not expected the City God to suddenly offer such a grand gesture. However, he did not let Qingxin evade him. Instead, he casually said, "Get up. I wonder what the demon the City God is talking about has done wrong? What abilities does it have? Where is it?"

Xia Zhiming asked three questions in a row, but Li Bubai just sighed, shook his head, and stood up to tell the story -

A few years ago, Anshui County was peaceful. Although there were occasional sightings of mountain spirits and ghosts, they generally caused little trouble. The turning point was, of course, the City God Temple Fair that year.

Since it was a temple fair at the City God Temple, Li Bubai, as the City God, naturally sat high on the throne. However, in the middle of the temple fair, he discovered that a pair of children had left their elders to buy snacks at the stalls where people were setting up stalls and performing arts.

At that time, Li Bubai wanted to send his Yaksha to look after the two children, but when he turned around, the two children were nowhere to be seen.

You know, even a county town god is a serious god. How could he not be able to take care of a child?

Li Bubai knew something was wrong and sent his ghost soldiers and yakshas to surround the temple fair. They investigated every person who came out. But they still had no trace of them until the next day.

From that day on, every time the weather warmed up in Anshui County, children would disappear for no apparent reason.

Li Bubai naturally submitted a petition, but when the higher-ups saw that he hadn't gone missing many times that year, they simply sent him back. He had no choice but to send a dream to the county magistrate to ask him to post a wanted warrant for exorcising demons and catching ghosts. Unexpectedly, the warrant has been posted until today.

"Wait a minute..." Xia Zhiming suddenly interrupted, spitting out his snake tongue and asking, "Are the two children you're talking about the original owners of the Qingxin Courtyard where we live? The children of the Wang couple?"

The City God nodded: "Indeed."

"Do you know where we live?" Qingxin tilted her head and suddenly asked, "Then why didn't you come to find us earlier?"

As soon as she said that, Qingxin was hit on the back of her head by a snake's tail. Then she saw the City God pointing at the white snake hanging around her neck with an embarrassed look on his face...

Xiao Qingxin curled her lips immediately and lost her good attitude towards the City God in front of her, but she just turned her head away angrily without saying anything more.

Xia Zhiming didn't care, but instead speculated with interest: "Is it a magic spell that can bewitch the gods, or is this monster very strong? Forget it..."

He stretched out his tail and scratched the little sister's cheek. Xia Zhiming comforted her, "Qingxin, I don't care. Why are you so angry? Come on, take me to see what kind of monster that is."

The girl ignored him, but just stretched out her hand, closed her eyes and calculated silently. Seeing her like this, Xia Zhiming had to give up for the time being.

Beside him, Li Bubai looked at the scene he had created with some embarrassment, but he didn't dare to speak yet. After a while, when he saw the young immortal master in front of him put down his hand, he was about to ask, but in a flash, he saw Qing Xin and Xia Zhiming disappear from the spot...

-

Anshui County——

"Tanghulu~Tanghulu~"

"Selling firewood~"

"Selling eggs! Selling eggs! Freshly laid hens' eggs."

……

On the street, the shouting sounds were the same as usual, but it was already past noon, and there were only two or three people walking on the street, and there were not many roadside stalls.

Xia Zhiming swayed his snake-like head slightly over the girl's shoulder. He looked at the street and suddenly asked, "If I remember correctly, this is the road we took when we first entered Anshui County?"

Xiao Qingxin nodded, looked around the street as if searching, quickly found the direction, and took two quick steps forward.

Xia Zhiming was startled when he saw an old man selling candied haws sitting under the eaves not far away. His complexion was dark yellow, and his wrinkled face was covered with gray-black age spots. In his left hand, he was holding a straw stick. The candied haws on the stick were almost sold out, but he was still shouting with full energy:

"Tanghulu~Tanghulu~"

"Old man, I want a candied haws~" Qingxin stretched out his hand and handed over a copper coin, speaking confidently.

"Uh... hehe, okay~"

Seeing the arrival of business, the old man selling candied haws seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then responded with a smile, revealing a mouthful of neat yellow teeth. He then swiftly reached out to take the copper coin and weighed it...

Weighed it again...

Qing Xin seemed to have noticed something and asked with a smile: "Old man, what's wrong?"

The old man frowned, looked at the little girl who was only three feet tall in front of him and said, "Girl, I dare not accept your money..."

But Qing Xin put one hand on her waist, pointed at the old man, raised her head and chest, and shouted in a childish voice: "If you dare to refuse, I will beat you!"

Xia Zhiming was speechless for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Junior Sister, where did you learn this evil technique?"

"It's just a side job, I just do it when I need it." Xiao Qingxin replied, then looked up at the old man selling candied haws in front of him again, and stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the candied haws!"

The old man chuckled and put the copper coin back into the girl's palm. Then the smile on his face slowly faded, his eyes lit up and he shouted sternly:

"If you continue to meddle in other people's business, I..."

The old man was halfway through his words when Xia Zhiming, who was standing on the girl's shoulder, interrupted, "What kind of monster is talking so much nonsense? Old Ancestor Qingxin, don't waste your words on him. Beat him up!"

"Zhiming, he is a snake demon..."

"what?"

"Also, you are not allowed to call me Qingxin Patriarch!"

"Isn't this what you called yourself in the temple earlier?"

"No means no!"

PS: Ask for next month's ticket

Chapter 21: Dimensionality Attack from Qingxin Patriarch

On the street of Anshui County, a man and a snake started arguing with each other as if no one was around.

The old man beside them was so angry at their disregard for him that he immediately exploded with rage, cursing, "These two little brats are so ignorant! It really makes me angry!"

After cursing, the old man exhaled a puff of smoke, and mist suddenly filled the area around the man and the snake.

Xia Zhiming was stunned for a moment. Looking at the white mist around him, he couldn't help but shrink his head and tighten his body. He decided that next time he would at least learn some magic skills before going out.

I made up my mind secretly, but suddenly I heard Qingxin complaining in my ear: "Zhiming, it's too tight~"

How can I still hurt you? Xia Zhiming was about to complain, but the scene in front of him changed again. He saw Qingxin's eyes light up with a green light, and his fingertips casually cut through the fog in front of him!

The old man was shocked to see that Qingxin had easily broken his magic spell, which had always worked. He then understood why the two little kids were so fearless.

After realizing this, the old man knew he was no match for the enemy, so he instantly transformed into a black and yellow snake, slipped into the crack in the wall, and quickly disappeared.

"snake!"

"monster!"

"That old man is actually a monster!"

Around, because the magic of the monster was broken, some shop owners and passers-by also saw the old man transform from a human into a snake, and they all exclaimed in surprise.

But when they saw Qingxin's awe-inspiring look, they immediately knew who was good and who was bad, but they were all curious and didn't dare to step forward.

On the street, Xia Zhiming watched the monster disappear without a trace, but didn't urge it. He just tilted his head to look at Qing Xin beside him, and saw the little sister took two steps towards the shop next to him, pointed at the teacups on the stall and asked softly:

"Sir, how much do you want for this teacup?"

"Little Immortal, you're embarrassing me!" The shopkeeper was stunned and waved his hands in surprise, saying, "It's not worth much anyway. Since you're using it to exorcise the demon, please take it yourself."

Qingxin didn't say anything polite, just nodded, stood on tiptoe to take the teacup from the stall, picked it up in one hand and returned to the crack in the wall.

"Qingxin, what are you doing?" Xia Zhiming asked curiously as he stretched out his snake body.

"Zhiming, have you forgotten something?" Qingxin turned to look at the white snake beside her ear, pouting softly, "What's the point of subduing him even in this dream?"

Xia Zhiming just remembered, and then his red eyes flashed with enlightenment and he said: "So you have a solution?"

"Hmph~" The little girl raised her head and snorted softly, then raised her hand and pointed at the wall and shouted in a delicate voice: "Open!"

Boom! ! !

A deafening roar was heard, and the wall shook violently, and then a crack appeared. The crack became deeper and larger, and split into two halves in an instant!

Xia Zhiming stuck his head in to look, and found that the grass snake was hiding in the deepest part of the wall, running around in panic!

After the grass snake scurried around a few times and realized it had no way to retreat, it suddenly opened its mouth, and in an instant a cloud of black and purple poisonous smoke rushed out of the wall!

only……

A breeze blew over, and in the horrified eyes of the hemp snake, Xiao Qingxin raised his finger in front of him, a golden light lit up, and then he raised his hand and slowly pointed forward -

The hemp snake immediately knew that something was wrong. A murderous look flashed in its eyes, and then its body suddenly began to grow larger. In an instant, the hemp snake turned into a giant python several meters long. The python had a bloody mouth and fangs wide open, and it pounced directly towards Qing Xin and Xia Zhiming!

"Certainly!"

A child's voice that pretended to be majestic but had a babyish tone was heard, and a golden light flashed, and with a ding sound, it hit the top of the giant python's head. The giant python's rushing movement suddenly stopped. Looking closely, it was found that it was a "ding" character that fixed it in the air.

Xia Zhiming suddenly laughed. Looking at the snake demon that was subdued by a freezing spell, he said, "Where does this guy get the confidence to threaten our Qingxin Patriarch?"

"It's not yours~" Xiao Qingxin was about to put away his hand seal, but when he heard Xia Zhiming's words, he snorted, but then felt something was wrong and continued: "It's not Ancestor Qingxin either!"

"Okay, congratulations to the junior sister for subduing this demon. The junior sister has boundless magical powers." Xia Zhiming smiled when he saw her reaction.

The girl blushed slightly and said nothing more. She just raised her lips and looked very pleased. After putting away the hand seal, she opened the lid of the teacup in her hand, frowned at the giant python in front of her and shouted softly: "Shoot!"

As soon as the decree came out, the teacup suddenly flashed with green light, and the giant python that was fixed in the air instantly turned into a wisp of green smoke on the spot, and then slowly floated into the cup.

Ding~

The cup lid closed lightly, and the monster surrendered!

Bang bang bang bang! ! !

"it is good!!!"

"it is good!!!"

"The Xiaoxian family is truly mighty!"

On the street, the shop owners and passers-by who had been paying attention to this place immediately applauded and praised it non-stop.

Qingxin's face immediately lifted with a look of pride. Xia Zhiming didn't spoil her mood. He just stretched out his tail and stroked her face. He looked at the teacup in her hand with interest and asked, "Is this the art of the pot? How do you use a cup? But it does look better than holding a pot."

"Hehe~" Xiao Qingxin hummed twice and nodded with a chuckle, as if the snake had touched her heart~

……

Chapter 22: The Story of the Immortal

Since the monster had already been subdued, Qing Xin and Xia Zhiming didn't stay on the street for long. After all, it was almost noon, and the sun in the sky was too much to bear...

Qingxin Courtyard

Qingxin put the teacup on the table with one hand. Xia Zhiming was rarely interested. He slid along the girl's arm to the table, raised his snake body and looked at the teacup.

"Qingxin, please don't tell me that this teacup can bring me out of this dream."

Xiao Qingxin immediately rolled her eyes at him and said, "Taking things from a dream and turning them into reality, this kind of magical power should be something you can achieve if you go find your master."

"What should we do then?"

"Just watch~"

It was rare for Xia Zhiming to not know something. The little sister first chuckled and kept it a secret. Then her expression changed slightly, she pretended to be serious, and then raised her hand to remove the lid of the teacup...

Xia Zhiming immediately raised his snake body and looked down, and saw a figure the size of a grain of rice standing in the cup. It was the old man selling candied haws.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Qingxin shout in his ear: "Snake demon! Tell me your name!"

"Xia Nuan!"

"Liu Quan!"

"Hehehe~" Xiao Qingxin, who was holding the magic formula, heard two responses unexpectedly and immediately started laughing with joy after she realized what was happening.

Xia Zhiming was a little speechless for a moment. He didn't expect that he would be tricked by this unnamed spell and accidentally suffered a range attack. However, he probably guessed how the girl would wipe out the enemy completely.
