Xu Taiping first met Lao Jiu

Xu Taiping didn't say anything, but just grinned.

The tiger demon's unguarded answer just confirmed the words of the ghost, which made him feel more at ease.

"Little thing, three months later, I will definitely skin you, draw your tendons, and then make your soul into a wick to suffer the burning of the soul day and night!"

The tiger king had never been so teased, angry roar, even if only a soul shadow, but also shook the house inside the green bamboo house violently shaken.

Xu Taiping, who was standing directly across from him, was even shaken to the point that his Qi and blood surged.

If it wasn't for the residual Xia true qi protection, he would have fainted in the past.

After this sound, the tiger king's shadow also dissipated, seemingly using up the power hidden inside the ghost.

"This is still the strength after serious injury, if not injured, how powerful this tiger king should be?"

Xu Taiping's heart was horrified, and he had a whole new understanding of the strength of the tiger king that Qingmei and the ghost of the accomplice were talking about.

But although he was shocked, he did not feel timid because of fear, instead he had a strong fighting spirit.

This is probably related to the environment he has lived alone since childhood, encountering difficulties can only be solved head-on, there is no way to choose to run away like other children who have parents to rely on.

"Wow ..."

Just as the flames went out, a sound of coins falling to the ground suddenly rang out from the trap.

Xu Taiping cautiously looked inside, and with the moonlight overhead, he only saw a pile of merit coins and two unreadable things lying in the center of the ashes.

"Is it possible that it is something that the ghost has hidden with a secret method?"

Xu Taiping guessed in his heart.

When reading the introductory scroll, he had read that ghosts and demons have their own ways of hiding things, such as tiger demons like to hide in their stomachs and elephant demons like to hide in their trunks.

"In case there is a fraud, it is better to put it inside for a few nights, and then come back to check it after I have repaired the great formation of the Green Bamboo Residence."

Whether or not there are treasures inside, for safety's sake, Xu Taiping doesn't plan to go down now.

...

The back of the Qingzhu Residence on the Goat Deer Mountain.

"Courageous and resourceful, the old man did not look away."

A white haired old man leaning against a large tree branch smiling and nodding, seems to be very satisfied with Xu Taiping's performance this evening.

"But the road of cultivation is long, a moment of courage, a moment of wisdom is a small path, after all, it still depends on talent, if you can break through the open door realm in three years, and in the seven peaks to ask the sword, the old man can consider an exception to accept you as a disciple."

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

"This group of lazy and greedy people of the West Wind Pavilion, not to mention demanding money from the outer disciples, the cultivation place water veins and springs were dug, no one actually came to check it out, really lawless!"

When he said this, the old man's face immediately went cold, a pair of small eyes burst out of the essence of light.

"Such a trivial matter, how dare you ask me, the ancestor, to come, ridiculous, ridiculous!"

After saying this, the old man stood up crookedly, he put the wine gourd at his waist, his feet step forward in the air, a long bronze sword "whoosh" flew to his feet, holding him out of the air with a bang.

...

"Rumble ..."

"Finally, it's done."

Yanglu Mountain, purple bamboo forest.

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

"Good luck today, not only repaired the spring, but also hunted a yellow sheep."

Looking at the yellow sheep beside him that was frozen into ice by his Remnant Xia True Qi, the corner of Xu Taiping's mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.

After solving the problem of the ghost of the accomplice, and cultivating the Remnant Xia Gong to the icing stage, everything was going well.

...

"Taiping, you're finally back."

"Uncle Bai?"

Just as Xu Taiping dragged the yellow sheep back to the Qingzhu Residence, the white headed eagle, a spirit bird that had not been seen for a long time, suddenly appeared at the entrance of the courtyard, and beside the white headed eagle stood an old man with white hair and a wine gourd hanging from his waist.

"When did you come back, Uncle White?"

Xu Taiping put down the yellow sheep.

Although he was asking Bai Hong, but his eyes were measuring the old man with white hair.

"Just came back, this is a ... friend I met on the road ..., everyone calls him Lao Jiu, we just happened to pass by this Qingzhu Residence, so we thought we'd come here to rub a meal with you."

Usually speaks in a very majestic tone of white Hong, today speaks is stuttering, which makes Xu Taiping very surprised.

"Little friend Taiping, Bai Hong and I have traveled thousands of miles, our stomachs are hungry, can you start a fire and cook a meal for us?"

Old Jiu rubbed his hands and asked with a smile.

"Uncle White is my friend, not to mention a meal, is to come to me every day to eat, I also welcome, but you, old man, you have to pay."

Treating friends generously, treating strangers cheaply, Xu Taiping this is exactly the same as his grandfather.

"Taiping you ..."

"Haha ... little friend of Taiping is right, eating is to pay!"

Hearing this, that white rainbow obviously some nervous, seems to be to explain to Xu Taiping what, do not want to but was that old nine laughing interrupted.

"Snap!"

Lao Jiu threw a money bag in front of Xu Taiping.

"Little friend, there are 300 merit coins in here, is it enough for a meal?"

He smiled and asked Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping did not answer him immediately, but counted seven merit coins from the money bag, then threw the money bag back to the old man and said.

"I don't have any good food at home, so for this meal, seven merit coins will be fine."

After receiving the money, Xu Taiping looked at the old man with a smile on his face.

The old man laughed again, and then gave Xu Taiping a thumbs up.

"Fair."

Bai Hong on the side saw the situation wiped a handful of forehead sweat, heart relieved and said.

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

However, before coming here, Lao Jiu had already informed him, so he could only hold these words in his heart, not daring to say them.

...

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

"Uncle Bai, help me peel a few cloves of garlic and cut some scallions."

In the stove room of Qingzhu Residence, Lao Jiu burned the fire, the eagle-headed person Bai Hong chopped vegetables, and Xu Taiping helmed the stir-fry, and was busy.

"Little brother Taiping, look, I've made a fire for you, can't we pay less for this meal?"

Old Jiu ruffled a handful of hair, then smiled and discussed with Xu Taiping.

"You old man, why are you still bargaining? If you don't help me build a fire, this meal will cost eight merit coins!"

Xu Taiping wiped the sweat off his forehead and gave that old man a white look.

"Good point, good point."

Lao Jiu smiled again.

The white Hong, who was chopping vegetables next to him, listened to another heartbeat and nearly sliced his claws.
