At what age are you still being a traditional monster?

"Third brother! Bring it here!"

The black wind monster burst out from the wind and grabbed Lin Xu's hands tightly.

Lin Xu smiled.

His hands were empty.

Heifeng said angrily: "You're playing tricks, you promised not to put it in your sleeve!"

Lin Xu said helplessly: "The conscience of heaven and earth, if I put it in my sleeve, I will die a violent death!"

"Where did that thing go?"

Lin Xu raised his eyebrows and looked behind him.

The Black Wind Monster followed and saw Lord White Snake walking out of the alley slowly, carrying a bag in his hand.

"Okay! It turns out that you are in collusion with the second child."

Lord White Snake laughed and said: "Brother's words are wrong, obviously the third brother didn't carry this thing to go, you chased it out because you were impatient and didn't look carefully."

Hei Feng wondered for a while, then turned to look at Lin Xu, and suddenly realized: "So you hung things outside the window!"

Lin Xu spread his hands and smiled.

The black wind monster said dejectedly: "It's not fun, I've been tricked again."

The three brothers found a stone step and sat down. Lord White Snake opened the oiled paper, and the three brothers each took a candied fruit and put it in their mouths.

"Um?"

"Tsk..."

"So sweet..."

The black wind monster covered his cheeks, then looked up at the uninvited guest who walked in front of him.

It's a kid blowing his nose.

"Your face is so dirty, why don't you wash it?"

"Hahahaha!" Lord White Snake and Lin Xu's ruthless whispers could be heard.

The black wind monster's face darkened, and he deliberately said angrily: "Which family's child, go back and eat your mother's water!"

After all, he made a grimace, looking fierce.

The child was not afraid at all, and asked: "So, why don't you wash your face?"

"Get out, grandpa, can't I be born dark?"

Lord White Snake hastily pulled the child over, and said, "Brother, don't scare people indiscriminately..."

Before the words were finished, the child suddenly burst into tears.

Heifeng was stunned, and said: "Could it be that this child was slow to react, and he was crying after scaring him just now?"

The child struggled to break free from Lord White Snake, saying: "There are dead people!"

Lin Xu said: "Where are the dead?"

The child pointed at the White Snake Monarch and said, "He... I sneaked a while back to see the person next door who parked at the coffin shop, and that person was as white as him!"

"Second child—hahahaha!"

Lord White Snake's eyelids twitched, and he said, "It's just that it's too dark now, it's just a contrast."

Lin Xu held back his laughter, coaxed the child and said, "Don't cry, come here, I'll give you candied fruit."

After finishing speaking, he stuffed a pack of candied fruit into the child's arms.

The child wiped away his tears, and then said: "Okay, I won't cry, and you shouldn't cry either."

"When did I cry?" Lin Xu wondered.

The child said without hesitation, "If you touch your own face, you will cry out like a knife cut!"

Lin Xu was speechless, and turned to look at the Black Wind Monster who was clutching his belly and beating the ground vigorously, and the White Snake Lord who was covering his face with his sleeve.

Then he turned his head and said to the child, "Ask you a question."

The kid nods.

"You were crying and making noise just now, do you want this?"

Lin Xu pointed to the bag of candied fruit in the child's hand with his finger.

After a brief silence.

The child stuck out his tongue, rolled his eyelids with one finger, turned around and ran away quickly.

The three brothers heard the sound of crows flying across the sky.

"This kid, you can act better than me!" Black Wind Monster exclaimed sincerely.

Lin Xu shook his head and said: "It's getting late, let's go back."

Lin Xu stood up, but found that the Black Wind Monster and Lord White Snake did not move.

After a moment of silence, the black wind monster said: "Third brother, I discussed it with my second child today and decided..."

"Decide what?"

"We want to go back."

Lin Xu was taken aback for a moment, the expression on his face had already asked a question.

The black wind monster waved his hand and said: "Look, we have been out for more than half a year. During this period, many mountains have been turned over, rivers have flowed a lot, and we have seen most of the weird things in the world... So... ..."

Lord White Snake sighed, "I'm tired."

Heifeng said strangely: "I'm tired of it."

Lin Xu also nodded and said: "And it's too noisy, it's not as clean and comfortable as Heifeng Mountain."

Lin Xu smiled and said: "So that's the case, when will the eldest brother and the second brother plan to go back?"

Heifeng said strangely: "It should be now."

Lord White Snake smiled and said, "You still have things to do, so I won't wait for you first."

After finishing speaking, the Black Wind Monster stood up, patted Lin Xu on the shoulder, and said, "Come back earlier."

The Black Wind Monster and the White Snake Lord waved their hands and disappeared into the wind.

Lin Xu watched the two monsters off, then sat back on the stone steps and waited until the sunrise.

1 Forty Chapters

At dawn, Lin Xu got up, stretched his body after sitting for a long time, and finally walked to the street.

In the early morning in Hangzhou, there are hawkers shouting.

Lin Xu randomly found a breakfast restaurant and sat down, ordered a basket of dumplings, and was picking up his chopsticks when he suddenly looked up and saw a familiar figure.

"Little fellow daoist, come and sit down!"

You Yunzi was slightly taken aback, then turned around and saw Lin Xu, so he went forward and sat down.

"It must be that we are destined to meet each other in such a big Hangzhou." Lin Xu said with a smile.

You Yunzi shook his head and said, "It's not because of fate, but because I came here specially to find you."

Lin Xu asked doubtfully, "Fellow Taoists looking for me?"

"Did you forget that today is the eighth day of September?"

"How about that?"

You Yunzi said: "Tomorrow is the day for our sword competition. I didn't expect that you haven't gone to Plum Blossom Temple to place an order. Once you went last night, Lu Zu asked us to come and find you."

Lin Xu was a little confused by the series of messages.

"Wait, the ninth day of September is the day of the sword competition, I remember... us?"

You Yunzi frowned and said, "Don't you know that I am one of your opponents?"

Lin Xu said: "I remember that you are only 16 years old, and you have only cultivated Taoism for six years. How about practicing swords?"

You Yunzi said: "It's also been six years."

Lin Xu supported his forehead, mumbling something, at the same time, Lu Yan sneezed again.

"By the way, where are your two elder brothers?" You Yunzi finally realized that something was wrong.

With a dumpling in Lin Xu's mouth, he said, "They're going back."

"Inn?"

"Deep mountain."

You Yunzi was silent for a while, his face became embarrassed, and he asked uncomfortably, "Is it because of me?"

Lin Xu waved his hand and said: "No, no, don't think too much, come, come, have breakfast."

You Yunzi shook his head and said: "No, you should use it up earlier, there are still people looking for you all over the streets of Hangzhou."

"There is someone else, who is it? Your brother?"

You Yunzi said: "My senior brother is helping me at the Plum Blossom Temple, and the person who was looking for you with me is also competing this time. She is the ancestor of the Shangqing School in the north, and a disciple of Lord Zixu Yuan."

Lin Xu asked with interest: "Then how old is she, and how many years has she been practicing swords?"

You Yunzi replied: "Her name is Zhang Jiusi, she is ten years older than me, and she has practiced Taoism and swordsmanship for 12 years."

The corner of Lin Xu's mouth twitched when he heard this, he felt like he shouldn't have come.

"Ah—ch——" Lu Yan rubbed his nose, and said to himself, now he really has to go to Master Zhongli and forget about it. He Fangsheng is always talking about himself?

Lin Xu sighed, finished his breakfast like a storm, got up and paid, then turned to You Yunzi and said:

"Then someone else will look for it, let's go look for that Zhang Jiusi fellow Taoist too."

On the street, it is bustling.

Lin Xu brushed past the boy.

The young man carried a long strip wrapped in cloth on his back, Lin Xu could slightly feel the chill on the object.

Can't help but turn around and take a look.

The boy then disappeared into the crowd.

"Brother Dao, what's the matter?" Seeing Lin Xu stop, You Yunzi asked curiously.

Lin Xu's eyes froze, then he smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay..."

Lin Xu was very familiar with that burst of cold air, it was sword air...but was that young man carrying a sword?

The sword is also too long.

Although the sword was strange, there was nothing unusual about the young man, he was a real mortal.

Lin Xu shook his head, didn't think about it anymore, and continued to search for several streets with You Yunzi, but they couldn't find Zhang Jiusi. In desperation, they had to go to Plum Blossom Temple together.

Plum Blossom Temple is located in the west of Hangzhou City. Its original name is Chunyang Palace. Later, it was renamed Plum Blossom Temple because a large plum forest was planted around it for viewing.

Passing through rows of plum trees, the old gate of Plum Blossom View appears in front of you.

There are traces of time on the Zhuzhu in front of the door.

You Yunzi stepped forward and lightly knocked on the door knocker.

After a while, Bai Yunzi opened the door.

"Huh? Senior brother, why are you here to open the door, where is the Taoist brother's door of Plum Blossom Temple?"

Bai Yunzi shook his head and said, "Stop talking, come in quickly, it's busy inside."

Lin Xu entered the Plum Blossom Temple, and found that the Taoist priests in the Plum Blossom Temple were all wearing cassocks and five-view caps.

There are 81 large and small altars neatly arranged in the temple, and five-color cloths are decorated on the walls of the Taoist temple.

Lin Xu asked suspiciously: "Is this a ritual ceremony? Why?"

A Taoist priest of Plum Blossom Temple saw Lin Xu's You Yunzi coming in, and hurriedly stuffed two cassocks into their hands.
