into the night.

There are no stars or moon, and heavy snow is falling.

The world under the night sky today is darker than usual. After nightfall, the buzzing sound around no longer exists and it is eerily quiet.

In a temple on a deserted mountain, a flame emits a faint glow, and the wind blows the fire, causing the light and shadow to sway.

It flickered like ghost shadows projected on the wall.

In addition, the wind outside was howling and making strange sounds, and it really felt like being in the underworld.

"The mosquitoes outside have stopped buzzing. No wonder people on their way at night dare to stay here."

Xu Qing looked outside through the broken window.

There are no more mosquitoes outside.

I don't know if it's because the temperature drops further at night and they go dormant, or if it's just an illusion to make people let down their guard.

Xu Qing shook his head, too lazy to think too much. After all, everything would be clear tonight, so he just had to wait patiently.

As the night deepens, it is midnight.

The hour of midnight is when the yin energy of heaven and earth reaches its heaviest, and it is also the time when the yang fire of the country is most severely suppressed.

Times like this are often the best times for evil spirits to come out and cause trouble.

The watchman in the city usually shouted "Three o'clock in the morning, all is well", which is a good example.

Xu Qing's ears moved slightly.

A continuous buzzing sound was heard gradually coming from outside the temple.

"coming."

Xu Qing suddenly looked up and saw a thick "dark cloud" appearing above.

The cloud was so thick that not even the light from the temple's fire could penetrate.

at this time.

Dark clouds fell like a waterfall from the sky.

Xu Qing picked up a Six Ding and Six Jia amulet and blessed himself with a layer of golden light.

Although he could completely ignore the attacks of these mosquitoes with his current physical condition, it was still disgusting to be attacked by a large number of mosquitoes.

Large swarms of mosquitoes fell like water, extinguishing the flames with their numbers, and the temple was suddenly plunged into darkness.

Bai Lele had no golden light to protect her, but a bug came out of her sleeve and swatted the mosquito in front of her, whose body instantly stiffened and fell to the ground, forming a thick layer of "felt".

"That's it?" Bai Lele tilted his head. "Big brother, these bugs can deal with ordinary people without any problem, but any cultivator can be easily dealt with."

Xu Qing nodded: "Let's take a look at the changes."

With a wave of his hand, the flames in the temple burned again and flowed, engulfing the mosquitoes on the ground.

The two men and the rat waited for a while, but found that there was no other change except that mosquitoes continued to rush in.

Xu Qing frowned.

Could it be that there is a statue made from Confucian books, so the guy in the dark can only use this method to repel mosquitoes?

"Big brother, what should we do now?" Bai Lele and Zhong Nengshu looked at Xu Qing together.

"If this is the only method the other party has, it doesn't seem to be anything powerful."

Xu Qing picked up a Heart Fire Talisman.

"Look at me burning all the mosquitoes on this mountain!"

The Heart Fire Talisman burned, and with a "whoosh" sound, the flames suddenly jumped up, burning the nearby mosquitoes, and then spread along the mosquito swarm.

Like a hound chasing its prey.

The blazing flames shuttled through the swarms of mosquitoes flying all over the mountain, and large sheets of flames suddenly appeared in the sky above the mountain like a sunset cloud.

The mountains, cities and villages in the distance were suddenly covered with a layer of red flames.

This spectacular scene immediately attracted the attention of people around.

Many people rushed out of the house and jumped to a high place, looking at the sea of ​​fire in the sky and the tiny dots of stars, which looked like sparks from a iron tree or sparks falling from the rain.

A look of surprise appeared on his face.

Most of the people in the nearby villages who were already asleep suddenly felt a strong light shining on their faces, and instinctively opened their eyes, thinking it was dawn. When they stood up, they realized that the light was wrong.

When I opened the door, what I saw was a sea of ​​fire suspended above the distant mountains. It was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight. For a moment, I was unable to describe the shock and horror in my heart.

This scene really shocked them!

Some of those who had been eating meat and drinking wine in the teahouse in the afternoon suddenly remembered the Taoist priest and the little girl.

they
Is this a true encounter with a deity?!
At the same time, on the other side of the hill where the Lujin Temple was located, several figures emerged from an unfrozen lake.

Looking at the flames suspended in the sky, his face turned extremely pale.

"Which bastard ruined our plan?" One of the figures roared angrily and was about to fly out to settle accounts with Xu Qing.

"Don't be impulsive!" Another figure said calmly, "The enemy's situation is unclear, don't act rashly."

"What should I do?"

"Just wait. We have plenty of time. The other party won't stay here for too long."

Xu Qing, who was in Lujin Temple, suddenly showed some expression.

Although this fire was created by the Heart Fire Talisman, it was essentially stimulated by his Yuan Qi.

And his Yuan Qi was melted into the essence and blood of the true dragon.

The True Dragon is the supreme water being. With this characteristic, he suddenly sensed the aura of several water beings in this mountain.

Could it be these water creatures that caused this mosquito infestation?

Thinking of this, Xu Qing pointed his toes and flew out of Lujin Temple. Without any instructions, Bai Lele followed immediately.

"Brother, did you find anything?"

"There are a few water creatures in the mountains. Maybe it has something to do with this. Let's go and see if it is true."

Xu Qing and Bai Lele moved very quickly and soon arrived at the unfrozen lake.

The figures in the unfrozen lake also discovered the two people, and immediately became alert as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Who are you?" the figure in the lake asked anxiously.

Xu Qing looked intently.

It turned out that these figures were actually frogs, or strictly speaking, frog monsters!
"People passing by." Xu Qing answered casually, and then asked, "Did you create the mosquitoes in this mountain?"

He remembered that frogs eat mosquitoes, so why did they control mosquitoes to cause harm?
"Did you set the fire?" a frog monster with a sword and a knife in the lake said angrily.

"It's my fault." Xu Qing said decisively.

"How brave!"

The frog demon Wen Yang, who was holding a sword and a knife, was furious. He drew his sword and two sharp whistles rang out.

In one hand he held a knife, in the other a sword, the blades were icy cold, shaking off a string of sword lights and saber auras.

Xu Qing raised his eyebrows.

It is rare to see a frog wielding swords, let alone one with two hands.

Facing the sword energy and knife aura coming from the frog demon who was carrying a sword and a saber, the vital energy in Xu Qing's body surged and turned into swords that flew out.

The frog demon with a sword on his back sneered, "You think a mere Yuan Qi creature can block my sword energy?"
You really don't know your place!

The illusory flying sword transformed by Yuan Qi collided with the sword light and sword energy. To the surprise of the group of frog monsters, the flying sword crushed the sword light and sword energy with ease.

Then he continued to charge forward towards the frog monster!
"careful!"

A reminder sounded.

It's a pity that it was a step too late.

The frog demon who was carrying a sword and a saber was frightened and immediately swung the sword in his hand to block.

Two phase contact.

A tremendous force came from the flying sword, and even the powerful bodies of the demons could not block it, and they flew backwards with a "bang".

The gushing blood dyed the water of the Unfrozen Lake red.
