In the Sky Region, there had always been beautiful embroidery. It was precisely because of this convenience that talented women appeared one after another. To this day, humanity has flourished for nearly nine thousand years. As the saying goes, when a man is extremely prosperous, he will decline. There were many scholars who calculated that nine people would enter his poverty, and that they would soon enter a period of decline. However, such profound knowledge naturally could not affect the lives of the commoners.

In the current world, the Celestial Sect was led by the Celestial Palace, Penglai, and Great Brahma Temple, followed by the Worryfree Valley and the Sword Faction, with Luo Fu being the most mysterious of them all. However, if an ordinary person wanted to enter the Worryfree Valley and the sword faction's gate, it would be even more difficult than ascending to the heavens, let alone becoming a first-rate disciple in the Heavenly Palace.

Jiusang Mountain, the northern neighbor of Qishui, south looking at the Central Plains, since ancient times is a place where many countries must fight. But the war was so frequent that it was hard for the people nearby. The foot of the Nine Sang Mountain extended for nearly a thousand miles, with many rare birds and beasts hiding in it. Even the brave and fierce military families did not dare to rashly enter. Because of this, many people, regardless of their dangers, moved their families inside. This cycle went on for thousands of years, and yet, a miracle that no one could believe had happened. The formation of the "former Qi" of the ownerless town was one of those miracles.

It was said that three thousand years ago, the monarch of the Zhou Empire, who had heard of the former Qi's deeds, had relied on the strength of his country to mobilize one hundred thousand troops, slashing through thistles and thorns, and trekking through hundreds of miles of mountain roads, wanting to occupy this ownerless city in one fell swoop. Who would have thought that when the army arrived, it would be a natural phenomenon, with all kinds of beasts acting in unison, defeating the soldiers of the State of Zhou in the Nine Sang Mountain. From then on, no king dared to go against the will of the heavens and take away Qi Qi.

There was a clear water river about 20 miles to the west. Beside the river was a small village. The village was surrounded by an earthen wall to guard against wild beasts. To the north was a wooden door.

At this time of the year, it was hot summer and the sun was high in the sky. However, because the stronghold was close to the water, it did not seem very hot.

Beside the river in front of the village, there was a large limestone. At this moment, there was a young man holding a wooden stick, patting his clothes. However, looking at his dull eyes, he knew that the youth's heart had flown off to who knows where.

The youth turned over and over in the river, feeling a bit angry. He couldn't help but curse at the river before climbing onto the shore.

"Hey, grandpa was still saying this morning that I would definitely wash the clothes I just wore today. I didn't expect that if I really washed it, I would have to give grandpa some compensation." The young man curled his lips and said unhappily.

After tidying up his clothes, the youth picked up his clothes and prepared to leave. Perhaps he was afraid, but after calming down, he glanced at his surroundings before walking forward with relief. After walking a few steps, he saw a few youths around the same age running towards him from the stronghold. As they walked, they even shouted, "Ding Hong, the young master of the Wang family has gone to collect debts from your grandfather. He also brought a few fiendish looking thugs. You should go back and take a look."

Ding Hong was startled and quickened his pace to run towards them. He anxiously asked, "Li Dongguo, you're not lying to me?"

The skinny teenager behind the short and fat teenager quickly said, "Ding Hong, we used to lie to you often, but how would we dare to do so this time? This time, the young master of the Wang clan is approaching menacingly, and from the looks of it, he is prepared to do it.

Ding Hong looked at their expressions. Although he recalled that the short Li Dong and thin Wang Yu used to lie to him, he still didn't dare to joke around with his only relative. Ding Hong used to live outside of Jiusang Mountain, but due to the matters of the world, he and his grandfather Ding Tiancheng were the only ones left. They had no choice but to hide in Jiu Sang. Ding Hong frowned. He didn't care if the two were lying to him. He hugged his clothes tightly and prepared to run back. Who knew that just after running a few steps, Wang Yu hurriedly said, "Ding Hong, let's hold on to the clothes for you first. You're wasting too much time like this. You go ahead first, we'll be right behind you."

After returning home, the moment he pushed open the door, Ding Hong shouted loudly, "Master …" Before he could say the second word, a well-built old man came flying over with a wooden stick in his hand. Ding Hong's consciousness instantly flew out of his body.

He couldn't help rubbing his burning forehead and sat up. The robust figure of the old man immediately entered his vision and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide and shout, "Grandfather, what are you standing at the door with a stick in the middle of the day for!"

The old man was Ding Tiancheng, but at this moment, the old man was holding a two to three foot long wooden stick and was standing in front of Ding Hong with an awkward expression. The old man chuckled, "I was just training the door, who would have thought that you would suddenly run in here. The club didn't stop and naturally hit your forehead …" As he said that, Ding Tiancheng pointed his club towards the door. At this moment, the door was wide open. Light shone in from outside, illuminating the bronze ring on Ding Tiancheng's hand …

Ding Hong clenched his teeth. He could only blame his own bad luck, but he suddenly recalled the matter of Wang Yu and Li Dong. He couldn't help but turn his rage towards the two of them. He stood up and clenched his fists. Enduring the pain in his forehead, he slipped away like a wisp of smoke. Looking at Ding Hong's shadow that seemed as if it was about to burn out a fire, Ding Hong's voice came from time to time, "Grandpa, I'll go out and get some clothes!"

Ding Tian Chou was stunned. He sighed and said alone: "It's good to be young …"

Not to mention Ding Tian was sighing with emotion alone.

On a small hill behind the stronghold, Wang Yu and Li Dong were walking with clothes in their hands while laughing.

Wang Yu looked around and smiled at Li Dong, "Dong Guai, tell me, do we look like it this time? Look at how anxious that little bastard Ding Hong is. At that time, I nearly laughed out loud! "

Li Dong laughed, "That's right. Looking at his appearance, I can't hold it in any longer." He paused for a moment and looked around, as if he was looking for something. Then, he said: "But Wang Yu, did you really see the White Horse Monster stealing clothes? "Why do I feel like this is a little too mysterious!"

Wang Yu snorted, he pulled Li Dong even faster, and said: "It's definitely true! That night when I went out to the latrine, I passed the gate and saw a shining white horse stealing clothes! I originally thought that it was just an illusion and I didn't want to bother with it. However, I felt that this matter was a bit strange, so I sneaked out to check it out the next day. " As he spoke of his excitement, Wang Yu's eyes lit up, "What I saw was a young master stealing clothes! Then I quietly followed her for a long time! "Only then did I learn some secrets!"

"What!" Li Dong could not help but exclaim excitedly, "Is it true?"

Wang Yu chuckled before looking around, and said, "I only called you here because I saw that you were on good terms with me!" I will not talk about the others! "

Li Dong swallowed his saliva and said, "Then, I must thank Brother Wang!" Li Dong seemed to have thought of something, his eyes darted around, and he chuckled: "Who knows, maybe that white horse has taken a fancy to Brother Wang, and he and Brother Wang have also come to Qi City to talk about the human and demon thing that happened in the past. He cultivated the Immortal Art, but still had to think about me!"

Wang Yu proudly said: "Of course, when the time comes, we can also experience the life of the young master of the Wang family …"

Li Dong suddenly held onto Wang Yu, covering his mouth as he hastily retreated. He looked in terror at the forest ahead of him.

In the distance, there was a lush forest. There was a faint green python that was fifty to sixty feet long coiling around the top of a tree. It spat out a long core as its eyes began to glow with a deep blue light.

Wang Yu also recovered from his previous excitement. After seeing this scene, he immediately threw all his fantasies out of his head. His legs couldn't help but feel weak.

The two of them did not think too much. Although this giant python looked fierce, the two of them had lived in this Nine Sang Mountain with many strange beasts since they were young. Immediately, the two of them calmed their hearts and slowly retreated. It was unknown if the giant python had noticed the two of them, but it was still coiled on top of the tree, spitting out cores and feeling somewhat relaxed.

Even so, Li Dong and Wang Yu didn't dare to stay any longer. After retreating about a hundred meters, they discovered that the giant python had no intention of chasing them. Letting out a breath of relief, the two threw away the clothes that they had taken from Ding Hong, turned around, and ran. He would no longer care about the mysterious and bizarre matters of the white horses.

After running for a while, the two of them felt that they couldn't run anymore. They finally got up, out of breath. From time to time, they even turned their heads to look, afraid that the giant python would chase them. Seeing that there weren't any dangers, Wang Yu panted and said, "Dong … Dong Gui, this trip is our loss." After resting for a while, Wang Yu continued, "You said that normally these monsters rarely come within a hundred li of the former Qizheng City, what's going on with them these days? The White Horse Monster from a few days ago, and the giant python today, who knows what kind of demon will emerge one day! "

Li Dong touched his chest, nodded and said: "Yes, but let's go back first and tell this to the chief so that the people in the stronghold will have a reaction!"

Wang Yu also nodded in agreement. Looking at his surroundings, he pointed to a small road and said, "We'll take that route back to the stronghold. Let's go from there."

The two of them did not dawdle and immediately ran in the direction of the stronghold after agreeing.

At this moment, on the other side of the road, Ding Honggang heard some news about Wang Yu and Li Dong from some people and came with a heart full of anger. However, it seemed as if the heavens were fated for Ding Hong to go through a tribulation. He couldn't get Wang Yu and Li Dong to remind Ding Hong that there was an azure python in front of him!

He couldn't help but become even angrier, as if he recalled that these two people had been playing tricks on him since they were young. He immediately felt a lump of fury in his heart, wanting to settle all of his old and new grudges!

After crossing a few small slopes, Ding Hong finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He shouted towards his surroundings, "Wang Yu, Li Dong, you two grandsons have the guts to come out! Don't hide around, if you have the guts come out and fight your grandpa! " After shouting for a long time, Wang Yu and Li Dong's voices didn't reach their ears. Instead, they heard a rustling sound behind them.

Ding Hong thought that they were planning a sneak attack and could not help but snort. He picked up a thick and solid tree trunk and turned around to strike with it. However, the moment he turned around, Ding Hong felt as if his soul was about to be scared out of his body. How was this Wang Fan and Li Dong? It was clearly a huge green python that was over sixty feet long. At this moment, it opened its bloody mouth and bit down on Ding Hong's staff. How could this staff withstand the python's great strength? With a 'ka' sound, the wooden staff was broken into several pieces!

It was all thanks to Ding Hong's nimble body that he managed to escape from the python's bloody wound after hastily rolling on the ground. As soon as he stopped, Ding Hong immediately jumped up and ran along the road without stopping. He could not help but curse in his heart, "What kind of evil aura is going on today? I must have gone out to look at the calendar!"

Although Ding Hong's movements were nimble, how could he be faster than this python? The giant python was enraged that it could not catch up to Ding Hong after a long while. It suddenly leaped forward and flew to the front of Ding Hong. Ding Hong did not even have the time to react when he felt a black shadow blotting out the sky. He instantly shouted, "Not good!" He knew that the giant python was going to trap him to death! Although he knew, he was powerless to stop it. He could not help but feel a chill in his heart.

Who knew that at this moment, Ding Hong suddenly heard a familiar shout, "Slacking, demon, you actually dare to bully my grandson, hand over your life!"

It was none other than Ding Hong's grandfather, Ding Tiancheng! Ding Hong was moved. He thought, "My grandfather is actually this powerful?" When he looked up, the lofty image of his grandfather that he had built up just a moment ago was blown away like dust.

Ding Hong's grandfather, Ding Tiancheng, had quite a high status in the stronghold. He was the chief of the stronghold!

He saw Ding Tiancheng, who was being surrounded by many robust men holding long spears, being scared and shouting loudly. He looked like he wanted to show off but was afraid of being bitten by a giant python.

The giant python had just entangled Ding Hong and was ready to swallow him in one gulp. Seeing this sudden scene, his expression couldn't help but be stunned. That's right, it was a moment of surprise! However, the giant python did not have any intelligence. As it did not know that there were many people here, it only opened its mouth and spat out its core towards the crowd.

Ding Tian Chou looked at the python and felt that it was a treasure. The more he looked at it, the happier he became and he could not hold it back anymore. He gathered his hands together and shouted, "Everyone attack together, be careful! Except for this demon, we will ensure the safety of our village! "

When everyone heard this, their blood boiled and they shouted, "Good!" With spears in hand, they charged towards the giant python.

The giant python seemed to feel threatened and did not pay any attention to Ding Hong. With a sweep of its tail, a few strong men were thrown to the side. However, since the stronghold was able to lift up their guns and kill demons, who didn't have good muscles and movement techniques, they just stopped for a moment before jumping over again.

After battling back and forth for nearly two hours, the giant python finally lost to the crowd and was stabbed to death in the forest.

After the python's death, Ding Tian Chou had everyone pull Ding Hong back. After the python's death, they walked up to the python with smiles on their faces. They looked left, then right, and finally burst out laughing.

Pointing at the python, he said to the group, "Look, look. This skin, this blood, this body..." Tsk tsk tsk, this is enough for our stronghold to find someone to build our crappy wall stronger! "Most of them can even let me buy a little more rice to store, and this, this …" The light in Ding Tiancheng's eyes became brighter and brighter as he thought of something. Just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by a middle-aged man with a resolute expression from the back row.

Ding Tian Chou was stunned. He turned his head to look at Wang Zhi and asked curiously, "Wang Zhi, what's wrong?"

The rest of them seemed to have discussed it beforehand and nodded their heads. Wang Zhi let out a sigh of relief and said to Ding Tian Chou, "Leader, I think you should return the money back to the Wang family after selling this python. All the small and large matters in the village have been handled by you alone, so everyone knows about it." Wang Zhi sighed and continued, "The young master of the Wang family has come several times to urge us to pay his debt. Although we are not afraid of monsters, we are truly afraid of living in this Nine Swords Mountain. We can't help you directly, that's all we can do! "

He looked at them silently for a long time before sighing, "Let's discuss this matter properly after we return. Everyone is tired now, so let's carry the python back to the stronghold." Ding Hong and I will go somewhere to talk first. Let's do it like this. " Without waiting for the others to react, Ding Tiancheng pulled Ding Hong and headed in the direction of the stronghold.
