Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

Nan Fengxue followed closely behind, the talismans in his hand constantly changing.

She just raised her jade hand lightly, and talismans flew towards the group of bandits like dancing butterflies.

Some spells instantly turned into blazing flames, engulfing the approaching bandits and burning them to the point of screaming and howling like ghosts;

Some turned into tough ropes, tightly binding the hands and feet of the criminals, making them unable to move.

Her eyes were focused and she was muttering to herself. Although she was in the midst of a melee, she was like a cool white lotus blooming on the battlefield. She used softness to overcome hardness and posed a great obstacle to the bandits.

Lang Nana held a whip in her hand, her posture was agile, and she was like she was in an empty space.

Her whip was like a nimble poisonous snake, moving freely among the gangsters, leaving skin and flesh torn wherever the whip passed.

She swung the whip and shouted, "You villains, you are unlucky to have run into us today!" She
The sound was clear and loud, especially clear amid the shouts and screams, as if there was an invisible force inspiring the defenders on the city wall.

Seeing how brave these three men were, the bandits were immediately enraged. The one-eyed man in the lead shouted, "Concentrate your firepower and get rid of these three fools first!"

In an instant, dozens of bandits gave up attacking the city and surrounded Jiang Qiong and the other two.

They spread out in a fan shape, trapping the three men in the middle, with swords flashing and sabers flying, and the attack became increasingly fierce.

Seeing this, Jiang Qiong was not in a hurry. He tapped his toes lightly and soared into the air, drawing a graceful arc in the air.
Then, he looked down from above, swung his long sword fiercely, and a majestic sword energy poured down like a waterfall, knocking the bandits in front of him off their horses.

Taking advantage of this brief gap, Nan Fengxue quickly took out a handful of powder from his storage bag and sprinkled it on the bandits around him.

The powder flew in the wind, and after the gangsters inhaled it, they felt stinging pain in their eyes, tears streaming down their faces, their vision blurred, and their offensive became disrupted.

Lang Nana seized the opportunity and lashed the bandits who had lost their ability to resist with her whip like a dragon.

Each of her whips was full of power, knocking the bandits to the ground.

The three of them cooperated with each other in perfect harmony, and fought their way in and out of the group of bandits seven times, which temporarily loosened the encirclement of the bandits.

The defenders on the city wall were greatly encouraged by this and shouted: "Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming!

"The shouts and cries became louder and louder, and the arrows were fired more and more frequently. The bandits gradually fell into a dilemma of being attacked from all sides, and the morale of the army was in chaos.

However, just when Jiang Qiong and the other two thought that the bandits were about to be defeated, the one-eyed man suddenly took out a black ball from his arms and showed a ferocious smile on his face: "It's not that easy to defeat me! Prepare to die!"

After saying that, he threw the ball towards Jiang Qiong and the other two with force.

The ball drew an arc in the air, emitting a strange aura.

Jiang Qiong was startled and shouted, "Be careful, this might be a hidden weapon!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana hurriedly dodged to the side.

The ball landed not far from them and exploded instantly. A powerful impact force blew away the surrounding soil and rocks, and smoke and dust filled the air.

Jiang Qiong and others were knocked back several steps by the impact, their blood boiling.

Seeing an opportunity, the bandits swarmed forward again.

Jiang Qiong endured the discomfort in his body, held his sword horizontally, and shouted: "Even if I risk my life today, I will never let you succeed!"

Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana also gritted their teeth, regained their spirits, and fought side by side with Jiang Qiong.

At this critical moment, the gate of the county town suddenly opened, and a team of elite cavalry in silver armor rushed out like a steel torrent.

The leading general was majestic and awe-inspiring. He waved the spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Kill! Don't spare any!" The cavalrymen fought bravely, the sound of their horses' hooves shook the earth like thunder, and they rushed towards the group of bandits.

How could the bandits withstand this attack? They immediately lost their footing and fled in all directions. Jiang Qiong and the other two breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the reinforcements had arrived.

They supported each other and came to the cavalry general. The general dismounted and said, "Thank you three Taoist friends for your help. If you hadn't held back the bandits, this city would be in danger today."

Jiang Qiong returned the greeting and said, "You're welcome. We cultivators should protect the common people. But these bandits are coming with such a strong momentum. I don't know why they want to attack the county town?"

The general's face was solemn. "To be honest, a batch of spiritual objects smuggled by bandits were seized in the city recently. They must be holding a grudge and trying to take revenge. However, with the three of you helping us today, we can solve this urgent problem."

Jiang Qiong and the other two nodded, understanding what was going on.

Although they were exhausted after this fierce battle, they were relieved to see that the people in the county town were out of danger.

"Thank you three for your help in protecting the city. Please allow me to hold a banquet to express my gratitude..."

The general invited them warmly, and Jiang Qiong and the other two found it hard to refuse the invitation, so they followed the general back to the city.

Along the way, the people cheered and shed tears of gratitude for their life-saving grace.

Jiang Qiong and others smiled and nodded to the people, their hearts filled with warmth.

When we arrived at the mansion in the city, we saw that it was decorated with lights and was a busy scene.

It turned out that the general had already given orders to prepare a banquet for the three benefactors and to entertain them well.

Everyone was welcomed into the banquet hall, where candles were lit brightly, the tables were filled with delicacies, and the aroma of wine filled the air. The general invited Jiang Qiong and the other two to take their seats, while he sat beside them to accompany them.

He first picked up the wine glass, stood up and toasted the three people: "Three Taoist friends, today is all thanks to you. I toast you three with this glass of wine to express my gratitude."

Jiang Qiong and others also stood up to toast back and drank it all. After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere gradually became more lively.

During the banquet, the general ordered people to arrange singing and dancing performances.

A group of graceful dancers entered the hall one after another, dancing to the melodious music. Their dancing was graceful and flowing, like flowing clouds and water, which was pleasing to the eyes.

Nan Fengxue watched the dancers' performance with a hint of admiration in her eyes;
Lang Nana excitedly clapped her hands to the rhythm;

Jiang Qiong had a smile on her face, but she was thinking about the situation in the city.

"My three fellow Taoists, the bandits' invasion this time is a threat to our county city. If you hadn't intervened, the consequences would be disastrous."

The general put down his glass and said seriously.

Jiang Qiong nodded slightly: "The bandits are rampant, and we need to be more vigilant in the future. I wonder what plans the general has?" The general sighed: "Although the military strength in my city is not weak, this group of bandits is not small and ruthless. Although they were repelled today, there is no guarantee that they will not come back. I am planning to ask for help from the surrounding counties and jointly discuss a strategy to eliminate the bandits."

Everyone ate and talked, and the topics ranged from city defense to the way of cultivating immortals. Before they knew it, a long time had passed.

At this time, several dishes have been changed, and each one is exquisite. There is steamed spiritual fish, the meat is tender and melts in the mouth, exuding a faint spiritual aura;
There is also a spiritual fruit platter with various rare spiritual fruits placed on it. They are brightly colored and have a strong fruity aroma. Eating them can help people restore their spiritual power.

Nan Fengxue looked at the delicacies and couldn't help but smile, "General, you are so kind to entertain us. We are really flattered."

The general waved his hands quickly and said: "The three Taoist friends have saved the people of the whole city, this is just a small token of my appreciation.

If the hospitality is not good enough, please forgive me. "

As he was speaking, a soldier hurried into the banquet hall and whispered something in the general's ear.

The general's face changed slightly, then he returned to normal and said to the three people, "Three people, there is something in the city that I need to deal with. Please sit for a moment, I will be back soon."

After saying that, he stood up and left. Jiang Qiong and the other two continued to enjoy the food while also exchanging their thoughts on today's battle.

Lang Nana said: "The hidden weapon of the one-eyed man today was quite powerful. If we hadn't dodged in time, the consequences would have been serious.

We should also prepare more methods to deal with hidden weapons in the future." Nan Fengxue agreed: "That's right, and the bandits' cooperation also has certain rules, they are not a mob. We can't take it lightly."

After a while, the general returned to the banquet hall with a hint of apology on his face: "I'm sorry to have kept you three waiting."

"Some remnants of the gang were found in the city. I went to interrogate them to see if I could get some useful information."

"Oh? Have you found anything?" Jiang Qiong asked. The general shook his head: "These remnants are very stubborn and haven't revealed much. But we will continue to track them down and make sure to catch all the bandits in one fell swoop."

The banquet continued. In order to liven up the atmosphere, the general suggested, "I've heard that people who practice Taoism can often perform amazing magic. Can you three show us a few to broaden our horizons?"

When Lang Nana heard this, she became interested: "Okay, then I'll go first." After that, she stood up and walked into the hall. She waved the whip in her hand, and a faint blue light appeared on the tip of the whip.

She gave a light shout, and the whip began to dance in the air, transforming into various shapes, sometimes circling like a dragon, sometimes spreading its wings like a bird, causing bursts of exclamations from the crowd.

Nan Fengxue was not to be outdone, she waved her jade hand, and a breeze blew through the hall. The wine glasses on the table actually flew up by themselves, arranged in a neat row in the air, and then slowly fell down, but not a drop of wine was spilled.

Everyone was stunned and applauded. Jiang Qiong smiled and drew his sword.

He pointed his sword at the sky, and the sword suddenly shone brightly, with sword energy running rampant.

He swung his sword lightly, and a stream of sword energy slashed towards the courtyard outside the hall. A huge rock in the courtyard was instantly split in half, and the cut was smooth and flat. The generals and everyone present were shocked by the powerful sword energy and admired the cultivation of Jiang Qiong and the other two.

As the banquet drew to a close, the general expressed his gratitude to the three again: "The great kindness of the three Taoist friends will be remembered by everyone in our county. If you need anything in the future, just let us know and we will do our best." Jiang Qiong stood up and said:

You are too polite, General. It is our duty to protect the people. It is also a fate that I met you today. If the bandits make any more moves, please send someone to inform us. We will not stand idly by. "

Afterwards, Jiang Qiong and the other two bid farewell to the general and left the mansion surrounded by the crowd.

The night was as dark as water. Jiang Qiong, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue were strolling on the streets of the county town.

At this time, the hustle and bustle in the city had not yet completely faded away, and the people were still immersed in the joy of the bandits being repelled. People on the streets were talking about it, and all they looked at the three of them with gratitude and admiration.

"I had a very enjoyable banquet today, and I also witnessed the general's generosity." Lang Nana stretched lazily, with the whip casually draped over her shoulder, her face filled with satisfaction.

Nan Fengxue smiled lightly, her hair fluttering in the wind: "Yes, but the situation in this city still makes people a little worried. Although the general has a plan, those bandits are cunning and cunning, and there is no guarantee that they will show up again at any time."

Jiang Qiong nodded slightly, looking into the distance with deep eyes: "So we postponed our departure for one day, stayed a little longer, and could help out a little."

As the three were talking, there was a sudden noise coming from the front.

I saw a group of children running by with laughter, holding colorful small objects in their hands, shouting: "Let's go watch the fireworks, let's go watch the fireworks!"

"Fireworks?" Lang Nana's eyes lit up. "That sounds interesting. Let's go and join in the fun."

Jiang Qiong and Nan Fengxue looked at each other, saw the smile in each other's eyes, and nodded in agreement.

Following the flow of people, we soon arrived at the central square of the county town.

At this time, a dense crowd of people, young and old, men, women, and children, had already gathered in the square, all with smiles on their faces, looking forward to it.

The square is surrounded by various colorful lights, red, green, yellow... they complement each other and illuminate the entire square like daylight.

Some small vendors were moving among the crowd, hawking steaming snacks and exquisite trinkets.

The air was filled with the aroma of food and the scent of fireworks, and it was very lively.

"I didn't expect there would be such a lively festival in this county town." Nan Fengxue sighed softly, her eyes attracted by the colorful lights.

Jiang Qiong smiled faintly: "After experiencing the bandit invasion, the people need this kind of joy to dispel the haze and regain confidence in life."

Suddenly, a loud bang broke through the night sky, and a gorgeous firework bloomed in the sky.

The firework looked like a giant lotus with its petals spreading out layer by layer and its golden stamens flashing dazzling light, instantly lighting up the entire night sky.

Cheers broke out in the crowd, the children jumped for joy, and the adults looked up in admiration.

Immediately afterwards, the second and third fireworks rose into the sky one after another. Some were like shooting stars, dragging long tails; some were like peacocks spreading their tails, colorful and beautiful.

The light of the fireworks reflected on everyone's faces, casting a colorful shadow.

Lang Nana ran to the front of the crowd like a child, and the whip in her hand danced with her. The blue light on the tip of the whip reflected against the fireworks, attracting the attention of people around her.

She turned around and shouted to Jiang Qiong and Nan Fengxue, "Come quickly, the fireworks are so beautiful!"

Jiang Qiong and Nan Fengxue walked forward with a smile, stood side by side, and admired this dreamlike beauty together.

Under the dazzling fireworks, the fatigue in their hearts seemed to be swept away, leaving only the intoxication with the beautiful moments in this world.

As the fireworks continued to bloom, the atmosphere in the square became more and more lively.

At some point, people in the crowd began to dance. First came a few young girls, dressed in brightly colored clothes. They linked arms and spun lightly, their skirts fluttering, like dancing butterflies. (End of this chapter)
