Chapter 264 Encounter

Now that he knew where this place was, how could Zhang Chu not inquire about the existence of some people?

An Youyu was somewhat famous in the city. One could find out where he was by simply asking around in some bookstores.

Zhang Chu, wearing a Taoist robe and a bamboo hat, walked towards where An Youyu lived.

“Gu~Gu~Gu~”

Just as he reached the alley entrance of An Youyu's house, Zhang Chu stopped and looked at an old lady who was feeding chickens.

Even though he didn't use his spiritual sense to observe, Zhang Chu could still feel that the strength of the white-haired old lady in front of him was extremely strong.

The cultivation level of Golden Core Realm!

At this moment, Zhang Chu didn't know what to say.

Why are there so many people in the Jindan realm everywhere in this city?
Furthermore, are all these Jindan realm masters so content with poverty? Are they behaving like ordinary people?
This situation really made Zhang Chu a little uncomfortable.

He had no intention of leaving, but instead walked forward.

"Wow~"

As he was walking, a basin of water was poured directly in front of him.

"You~"

Zhang Chu's gaze fell directly on the old lady who was pretending to be confused.

"Master,"

The old lady also looked panicked. "I was dazzled and didn't see you coming. Are you okay?"

"nothing!"

Zhang Chu sneered in his heart and didn't care about it.

A cultivator at the Jindan stage actually said that he was dazzled?

This is really a weird story!

"Just, next time you splash water, you have to be more careful. Others are not as easy to talk to as I am!"

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Taoist Priest!"

The old lady nodded, "I'll be more careful next time, old lady!"

"Grandma, I'm back!"

While Zhang Chu was talking to the old lady, a man dressed as a scholar ran over.

"Young Yu,"

The old lady put down the basin in her hand and said, "You're back!"

She pulled An Youyu and glanced at Zhang Chu again, but she didn't want to talk to him anymore. "Let's go back to the house!"

"I've met the Taoist priest!"

An Youyu did not walk into the yard, but looked at Zhang Chu with some curiosity who had just talked to his grandmother.

He also heard some of what Zhang Chu said to his grandmother just now.

"I've seen the layman!"

Zhang Chu also bowed.

"My grandma is a little confused,"

An Youyu glanced at the water stains at Zhang Chu's feet and said, "Master, please forgive me!"

"Nothing, nothing!"

Zhang Chu shook his head slightly.

The water didn't splash on him, and the other party was a Jindan realm cultivator. What was there for Zhang Chu to blame?

"Master, why don't you come in and sit down?"

An Youyu glanced at Zhang Chu and invited him.

"never mind!"

Zhang Chu shook his head slightly, but had no intention of going in.

Originally, he was thinking of snatching the magic pen directly, but the old lady in front of him made Zhang Chu change his mind.

Don’t be in a hurry now, let’s first find the old site of the Huanzhen School and see if we can get some classic books of the Huanzhen School!

There are many demon kings near this city.

It would be great for Zhang Chu if he could find some recipes for making pills using the demon king's demon pills.

In particular, the demon king's body is not comparable to that of an ordinary cultivator.

If it could be refined directly, not only would Zhang Chu's blood and qi catch up with his magic power and spiritual awareness in an instant, but it would also save him decades of hard training.

After all, there is more than one demon king with strong blood and energy here!

For a demon king who can transform, especially one who can condense a demon pill in the body of an animal, it is obvious that his qi and blood are extremely vigorous.

After realizing this, Zhang Chu was no longer in a hurry to find a magic pen. There was no need for that.

As Zhang Chu walked away, the old lady who had been chattering just now also had a gleam of light flashing in her turbid eyes.

"Who was that Taoist priest just now?"

A thought came to his mind, "He looks like an ordinary person in the martial arts world, why do I feel such a strong threat from him?"

That’s right, as they were both in the Jindan realm, she couldn’t even realize that Zhang Chu was also a cultivator in the Jindan realm.

It’s not because Zhang Chu is stronger than her, but because Zhang Chu has the dragon vein in his body, which gives him the ability to conceal himself.

Unless she could see through the power of humanity, otherwise, when she looked at Zhang Chu, she would see a martial artist with extremely vigorous energy and blood. It would be impossible for her to know that Zhang Chu was a cultivator in the Jindan realm.

This is why Zhang Chu dared to watch the fight between Taoist Dian and the bamboo monster Tao Zui so closely, and it was also the reason why he dared to stare at Zhong Yunshan.

He doesn't have to worry about his cultivation being discovered by those people.

How could a martial artist with vigorous energy be taken seriously by these Jindan realm cultivators?
At this moment, Zhang Chu had already returned to his house in the city.

He led the horse out directly, rode out of the city.

Even though he cannot use his spiritual sense, Zhang Chu still has many methods at his disposal.

As for detecting the terrain, Red Queen can do it!

He only needed to take Red Queen for a walk around the city. Unless the old site of the Huanzhen Sect was covered by a formation, there was no way they could escape from Zhang Chu's grasp.

In fact, even with the cover of the formation, Red Queen could still find it.

The detection of Red Queen naturally includes the detection of energy.

Red Queen, who has been following Zhang Chu, is very familiar with magic power.

Unless a formation that has no energy reaction at all is set up, it is impossible to isolate the Red Queen from detecting it.

Riding a horse, they galloped all around the city, while Red Queen turned into a watch and wore it on Zhang Chu's wrist.

Rays of white light, under the broad daylight of the clear sky, are also hidden in the invisible.

In just one or two days, Zhang Chu had already clearly explored the area extending thirty or forty miles to the north of the city.

It is estimated that within seven or eight days, Zhang Chu will be able to explore the entire area within a radius of 40 miles of the city.

After all, according to Zhang Chu's memory, the ruins of the Huanzhen Sect were not too far from the city in front of them.

How can a place that can be reached on foot be far away?
The most important thing is that the north and east sides of the city are flat plains, and only the west and south sides have a mountain.

It goes without saying that the Huanzhen faction must be in the mountains.

As for why Zhang Chu didn’t go to explore the mountains first?

Of course, it’s because there is a demon king near the mountain.

Not to mention the snake monster on the mountain, just the group of monsters that have transformed from musk deer have strength that should not be underestimated.

Do you think the musk deer monsters, which can often escape from the mouths of Jindan-level snake monsters, are weak?
how can that be possible?
No matter how weak he is, he has the cultivation level of the Jindan realm. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for him to escape the pursuit of the Jindan realm snake demon.

After spending another two days exploring the east, Zhang Chu still did not find the remains of the Huanzhen Sect, so he planned to head west and south.

As Zhang Chu galloped on his horse, he soon arrived at a river beach. The white light emitted by the Red Queen also scanned the area.

Zhang Chu, who was riding his horse at full speed, suddenly paused. He had already received some feedback from Red Queen.

On the riverbank, there was a place with a large area of ​​energy reaction, which seemed to be a formation. After receiving feedback from Red Queen, Zhang Chu stopped his horse and headed towards the place marked by Red Queen.

Even though he did not use his spiritual sense, Zhang Chu could still feel the considerable energy fluctuations based solely on his martial arts skills.

However, in his eyes, there was clearly nothing.

The magic power moved slightly and rushed directly towards the eyes.

The river beach that was originally empty in front of Zhang Chu suddenly appeared with a relatively quiet house and some wooden bridges built on it.

Just when Zhang Chu saw through the formation on the river beach, several deer spirits in the house also discovered it.

One of them, who looked like an old man, looked directly outside.

In his eyes, a being with extremely vigorous energy and blood was riding on a horse, looking at them!
Moreover, he could feel that the knight in the Taoist robe had probably seen through the illusion he had set up.

The most important thing is that after their eyes met, the knight actually walked towards where they lived.

"Old lady, a guest is coming!"

However, this musk deer monster was not very scared.

He's just a warrior in Taoist robes. What's there to be afraid of?

Therefore, after saying something to the deer demon beside him, he stepped out of the illusion array and appeared on the river beach.

"Meet a friend!"

After the old deer demon came out, he bowed to Zhang Chu and said, "I wonder if my friend has any advice for me?"

"I am just a little curious,"

A hint of curiosity flashed across Zhang Chu's face beneath his bamboo hat, "Why can the monsters and humans here live in such harmony?"

"??"

After hearing Zhang Chu's words, a trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the deer demon.

It is undeniable that there are good demons in the world who are dedicated to the great cause, but there are more evil demons who devour humans to enhance their magical powers.

"In the city where the people gather, there is actually a bamboo monster living there!"

Zhang Chu continued, "Not far from the city, there are also many monsters!"

"But what puzzles me is, without a Taoist sect, how can you live in peace with the people?"

"Don't say anything. You are herbivorous animals that have become spirits. You don't want to devour humans!"

"If I'm not mistaken,"

Having said that, Zhang Chu glanced at the mountain behind the river beach and said, "In that mountain, there is a snake demon!"

"Snake demon, it can't be a herbivore, right?"

Listening to Zhang Chu's words, several rays of light flashed in the eyes of the deer demon: How could a warrior with vigorous blood know the existence of monsters?

Why did he dare to come and provoke after he knew the existence of the monster?
Are they really not afraid of death? Or do they have other beliefs?

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Zhang Ziyao also changed his address, "Master, isn't this good?"

Isn’t it good for humans and demons to live in harmony?
Hearing this, Zhang Chu was slightly stunned, "Of course!"

"However, I have traveled all over Xinjiang, but I have rarely seen scenes like this!"

"That's why I'm a little confused!"

When the deer demon heard Zhang Chu's words, his pupils shrank slightly and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

Apart from anything else, Zhang Chu's blood and energy alone is an excellent tonic for most fairies.

And he claimed that he had traveled all over Xinjiang, so he must have encountered many demon kings.

Even after encountering so many demon kings, he still had extremely abundant energy and remained safe and sound.

From this perspective, you can see how powerful the Taoist in front of you is!

After all, the demon kings in other places are not as kind as the demon kings here!
If you meet a "tonic" like Zhang Chu, it is absolutely impossible to let him go easily.

Just from this point of view, he understood that he was definitely no match for the Taoist in front of him.

Therefore, he also forced himself to remain calm and asked tentatively, "I wonder what you think of monsters, Chief?"

When he asked this question, he was already on high alert.

If Zhang Chu took action, he would definitely take his family and escape without hesitation.

"Monsters are born from monster mothers, and humans are born from humans mothers!"

Zhang Chu said something inexplicable, "There's nothing different!"

"As long as they don't hinder my practice, I generally won't take action against them!"

After hearing Zhang Chu's words, the deer demon finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This Taoist priest is not unreasonable, nor is he the kind of Taoist priest who would slay demons and monsters when he sees them.

"father!"

Just when Zhang Ziyao was about to say something, a voice came over, "Are there guests at home?"

Two young girls who looked to be in their twenties came over from outside the riverbank and were heading towards the old deer demon.

"right,"

The old deer demon glanced at Zhang Chu and said cautiously, "A guest is coming!"

He was not sure what Zhang Chu was planning.

"father,"

Soon, the two girls came up to Zhang Chu and the old crocodile demon and asked, "Since you are a guest, why don't you come in?"

"Master,"

Having said this, the girl turned her attention to Zhang Chu and said, "Why don't you come in and sit down?"

"Hahaha~"

Zhang Chu glanced at the two girls in front of him, one a deer demon and the other a sunflower spirit, and shook his head slightly, "Forget it, forget it!"

"I have something important to do, so I won't go!"

Having said that, Zhang Chu glanced at the old deer demon in front of him with a half-smile, "Besides, your father may not necessarily welcome me to come!"

After hearing what Zhang Chu said, the old deer demon also smiled awkwardly.

"Everyone,"

Zhang Chu glanced at the deer demons in front of him who had no human blood and energy, and said, "I have other things to do!"

"Farewell!"

After saying that, he jumped on his horse and walked towards the mountain next to him.

Looking at Zhang Chu's figure galloping on his horse, the old deer demon finally calmed down, "Girl Hua, don't be so reckless in the future!"

"what happened?"

Hua Guzi, the little deer demon, looked at her father in confusion, "That's a Taoist priest!"

"If he wants to exorcise the demon, how can you and I survive?"

"father,"

Hua Guzi wrinkled her nose and said, "I think he is just a warrior. How can he be our opponent?"

"What is there to be afraid of for a warrior?"

"Warrior?"

The old crocodile demon glanced at his daughter and said, "Have you seen that warrior who traveled all over the country alone?"

Hua Guzi was not stupid. She immediately understood the meaning behind her father's words!
How could it be possible for a warrior to be able to travel across the north and south of the border in a territory full of demons?

"That,"

Thinking of this, Hua Guzi looked at her father with some concern, "Does he know that we are monsters?"

"What did you say?"

The old deer demon said this in an unpleasant tone.

If the Taoist priest had not seen through the illusion he had set up, how could he have come out to meet the Taoist priest who had just appeared?
If he can see through the illusion array, how could he be a simple warrior?
