Jiang Qiong's heart was full of anticipation. They quickened their pace and ran towards the mountain.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they found that the mountain was very steep and there was almost no path to climb.
But they did not retreat. Relying on their own magic and strong will, they began to climb to the top of the mountain.
During the climb, they encountered various difficulties.
The climate in the mountains is unpredictable, with strong winds and heavy rains at times.
Moreover, there are some ferocious beasts and strange plants on the mountain that constantly attack them.
But Jiang Qiong and the other two supported and helped each other, and they were able to escape danger time and time again.
After some hard work, they finally reached the top of the mountain.
There is a huge platform on the top of the mountain, and on the platform is a huge treasure chest.
The treasure chest is inlaid with various gems, emitting a dazzling light.
The colorful bird landed on the treasure chest and tapped it gently with its claws, as if signaling them to open it.
Jiang Qiong and the other two walked towards the treasure chest excitedly. They opened it carefully and saw that it was filled with all kinds of precious treasures.
There were magical weapons emitting powerful spiritual power, precious elixirs, and some rare treasures they had never seen before.
The three of them looked at the treasure in front of them, their hearts filled with joy.
They knew that this adventure had finally paid off huge dividends.
However, they were not dazzled by the wealth, but calmly classified and organized the treasures.
They decided to keep some of the treasures as resources to improve their own strength, and planned to take the other part back to their own sect to share with their fellow disciples.
After taking a short rest on the top of the mountain, the three of them set out on their return journey with the treasure, accompanied by the colorful spirit bird.
After a short rest on the top of the mountain, Jiang Qiong, Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue, carrying a load of treasures, set off on their journey home, accompanied by the colorful spirit bird.
They slowly descended along the winding mountain road. The mountains and forests were quiet and peaceful, with occasional clear bird calls, as if singing for their triumph.
The colorful bird sometimes circled and danced lightly in the air, and sometimes playfully landed on Jiang Qiong's shoulders, as if it was also full of attachment to this wonderful journey together.
After several days of arduous trekking, they finally walked out of the deep forest.
Suddenly, a bustling town appeared before my eyes. The streets were busy with cars and pedestrians, and there were shops on both sides. Various shouts came one after another, interweaving into a prosperous market melody.
Jiang Qiong and the other two looked at the lively scene before them, and couldn't help but feel a long-lost sense of familiarity.
Recalling the thrilling dangers and challenges they experienced in the mountains and forests, the prosperity before their eyes seemed to bring them back to the reality of the world from another mysterious world.
They walked into the town and were planning to find a place to have a good meal and rest for a while, when suddenly the sound of loud gongs and drums came into their ears.
I saw a wedding procession slowly approaching from the other end of the street.
At the front of the team, several burly men were holding up a huge sign with the word "喜" (happiness) written on it. Behind them followed a group of musicians playing various instruments and singing. The cheerful tunes they played instantly filled the entire street with a festive atmosphere.
The groom rode a tall and handsome red-maned horse, wearing a bright red wedding gown, with a happy and sweet smile on his face.
The bride sat in a gorgeously decorated sedan chair, which was hung with bright red silk and beautiful flowers, making it look particularly festive and eye-catching.
The wedding procession was surrounded by people who came to join in the fun, and everyone offered their sincere blessings.
Jiang Qiong and the other two were also deeply attracted by this lively and festive scene, and they couldn't help but stand aside and watch.
At this time, the groom noticed them and saw that they had extraordinary temperament and dignified demeanor, not like ordinary passers-by, so he enthusiastically invited them to attend the wedding together.
Jiang Qiong and the other two had just arrived in this town and were curious about everything here, so they readily agreed.
They followed the wedding procession to a magnificent mansion.
This mansion has carved beams and painted rafters, and its vermilion gate is tall and majestic. The entrance is decorated with lights and big red lanterns hanging high, showing the wealth and grandeur of the owner everywhere.
Guests came into the mansion one after another, and Jiang Qiong and the other two also followed the crowd in.
The wedding scene was decorated extremely grandly and luxuriously. The spacious courtyard was neatly filled with tables and chairs, and the tables were filled with a wide variety of sumptuous delicacies and fragrant wines.
A huge and exquisite wedding tent was built in the center of the courtyard, hung with red satin and colorful ribbons. Inside the tent was an altar with tablets of the gods of heaven and earth enshrined on it.
With the arrival of the auspicious time, the wedding officially kicked off. Amid the blessings of the crowd, the bride and groom solemnly bowed to heaven and earth, to their parents, and to each other, and then walked into the bridal chamber hand in hand.
Next it was time for the guests to celebrate. Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate, and laughter echoed throughout the mansion.
Jiang Qiong and the other two were also infected by the warm and festive atmosphere. They ate, drank and chatted with the guests around them, enjoying the joy to the fullest.
The sky gradually darkened, and the lanterns in the mansion lit up one by one, illuminating the entire yard as bright as day.
Everyone was still immersed in the joyful atmosphere, unaware that danger was approaching quietly and silently.
Just when everyone was immersed in joy, suddenly a cold and biting wind blew, the lanterns in the yard shook violently, and the lights began to flicker.
Everyone couldn't help but shudder, and a strong sense of foreboding surged in their hearts.
Then, a burst of eerie and terrifying laughter came from all directions, echoing in the yard, making people feel creepy.
"What's going on?" "Is it haunted?" The guests suddenly became panicked, whispering to each other, with looks of horror on their faces.
Jiang Qiong and the other two immediately became alert, stood up quickly, and looked around vigilantly. They saw that the temperature in the yard suddenly dropped sharply, and a thick layer of frost began to condense on the ground.
A dark figure slowly emerged from the darkness. Its body was illusory, as if it was condensed from a thick smoke, but it exuded a strong and terrifying evil aura.
The ghost let out a shrill and piercing cry and rushed towards the guests fiercely. The guests were frightened and panicked, and fled everywhere, and the scene instantly fell into chaos. Seeing this, Jiang Qiong immediately cast a fire spell, and a huge ball of blazing flames quickly condensed in his hands, and then shot towards the ghost like a burning meteor.
The flames hit the ghost accurately, instantly enveloping it in a sea of fire.
However, the ghost did not seem to have suffered much harm. It moved freely in the flames like a ghost, and from time to time it let out bursts of creepy laughter.
Lang Nana was not to be outdone. She cast an ice spell and rays of ice-blue light shot out from her hands, transforming into extremely sharp ice spikes that stabbed fiercely at the ghost.
The ice spikes penetrated the ghost's body, but the ghost was like an illusory shadow and did not leave any wounds.
Nan Fengxue controlled the giant tripod, suspended it in the air, and then smashed it towards the ghost with all his strength.
The giant tripod rushed towards the ghost with a roaring force as powerful as an overwhelming force.
The ghost seemed to sense the deadly danger. It flashed and avoided the attack of the giant tripod with extreme agility.
The giant tripod slammed heavily to the ground with a dull thud, and a huge deep pit instantly appeared on the ground.
After dodging the attack, the ghost became even more violent and ferocious. It opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a thick black smoke, which quickly spread and completely enveloped the entire yard.
In the smoke, the ghost's figure was looming, constantly launching fierce attacks on everyone.
Some guests were enveloped by the ghost's smoke and immediately fell to the ground and struggled in pain, with expressions of extreme fear and despair on their faces.
Jiang Qiong and the other two were well aware of how powerful this ghost was, so they didn't dare to slack off at all.
The three of them looked at each other, their eyes conveying determination and tacit understanding, and then they each cast a spell to form an indestructible and powerful defense circle, firmly protecting the surrounding guests.
Jiang Qiong's blazing flames, Lang Nana's sharp ice spikes and Nan Fengxue's powerful cauldron constantly shuttled around the defense circle, tenaciously resisting the crazy attacks of the ghosts.
During the fierce battle, Jiang Qiong keenly discovered that before each attack of the ghost, there would be a brief fluctuation in its body.
He had an idea and immediately told Lang Nana and Nan Fengxue about this important discovery.
The three quickly decided to seize the ghost's weakness and launch a fatal general attack.
Jiang Qiong used all his strength to increase the power of the fire magic, condensing the flames into an enormous fire dragon. The fire dragon roared in the smoke and rushed towards the ghost like a burning lightning.
Lang Nana cast an ice spell, instantly freezing the surrounding air, forming a thick layer of ice, in an attempt to restrict the ghost's movements.
Nan Fengxue controlled the giant tripod and, under the cover of the fire dragon, quietly went behind the ghost.
When the fire dragon approached the ghost, the ghost immediately sensed unprecedented danger and tried desperately to escape.
However, Lang Nana's ice layer had completely blocked its retreat, and it could only face the fire dragon's attack head-on.
Just when the ghost and the fire dragon were in a stalemate, Nan Fengxue seized the opportunity and smashed the giant tripod at the ghost with all his strength.
The giant tripod smashed heavily on the ghost with a devastating force.
The ghost let out a heart-wrenching scream, its body began to tremble violently, and the black smoke gradually dissipated.
Seeing this, Jiang Qiong and Lang Nana immediately took the opportunity to increase the power of their spells. Flames and icy spikes continued to hit the ghost like raindrops.
With the concerted efforts and all-out attack of the three, the ghost finally couldn't hold on anymore. Its body gradually became transparent and finally disappeared completely into the air.
As the ghost disappeared, the smoke in the yard quickly dissipated, the temperature gradually returned to normal, and the lanterns began to shine brightly again.
When the guests saw that the ghost was successfully eliminated, they all breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Qiong and the other two with gratitude and admiration.
The bride and groom also came out of the bridal chamber and expressed their deep gratitude to them. After this thrilling incident, the wedding was somewhat affected, but fortunately it was safe in the end.
The guests returned to their seats and continued to enjoy the joy and happiness of the wedding.
Jiang Qiong and the other two also became heroes of the wedding, and their heroic deeds quickly spread throughout the town.
The next morning, sunlight shone through the window into the inn room where Jiang Qiong and other two lived.
After a night's rest, they had regained a lot of energy.
Just as they were about to pack their bags and continue their journey home, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the inn.
Jiang Qiong opened the door curiously, only to see a group of people gathered at the entrance of the inn.
There were about 20 people in this group, including men, women, young and old. The leader was a boy who looked to be about 17 or 18 years old, with an upright figure, a handsome face, and a look of determination and perseverance in his eyes.
He was wearing a coarse linen shirt that was a little bleached from washing but very neat, and his hair was tied behind his head, looking clean and neat.
Behind the boy were several young men and women of similar age. Among them was a girl, about sixteen years old, petite, with a sweet face, and a pair of bright big eyes full of expectation.
She was wearing a light blue cloth skirt, which, though simple, could not conceal her youthful vigor.
There were also several young men with strong build and bright eyes. They were mostly dressed in coarse linen clothes with many patches on them. It was obvious that they were not well off.
In addition, there were several younger children in the crowd. The youngest looked only seven or eight years old. He was a chubby little boy with rosy cheeks and curiosity sparkling in his eyes.
He was wearing a ragged jacket with crooked patches on the sleeves, which was obviously sewn by himself. Jiang Qiong and the other two walked out of the inn and looked at the group of people in front of them with confusion.
Upon seeing this, the leading young man immediately stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Jiang Qiong and the other two, and then said, "Three seniors, we heard about your deeds of exorcising demons yesterday, and we really admire you. We are all ordinary people living in this town, and we have always wanted to learn magic, strengthen our bodies, and protect ourselves and those around us. So we beg the three heroes to accept us as disciples and teach us magic."
After the young man finished speaking, everyone behind him knelt down one after another, saying in unison: "We beg the three heroes to accept us as disciples!"
Their voices were full of sincerity and expectation, and their eyes were fixed on Jiang Qiong and the other two, as if this was their only hope.
Jiang Qiong and the other two were moved and embarrassed when they saw this scene. Jiang Qiong frowned slightly, stepped forward and helped the young man in the lead to stand up, saying, "Everyone, please stand up quickly. We appreciate your kindness, but it is really difficult for us to accept you as a disciple."
The young man refused to stand up. He raised his head, his eyes full of confusion and anxiety, and asked: "Three heroes, is there something we did wrong? We really want to learn magic. We are not afraid of hardship and are willing to listen to your teachings." (End of this chapter)
