The next day, the rising sun rimmed the earth with a layer of gold.

A Wrangler SUV slowly drove out of the main entrance of Thang Long Palace. Zhao Fanruan was sleeping in the back seat, Shiqi was playing with his mobile phone in the passenger seat, and the driver was Shenxiu, heading towards the provincial capital.

After arriving at Chen's house, Zhao Fan was woken up by Shi Qi's pinching his nose. After regaining his composure, he opened the car door and said, "You guys wait here while I pick Chen Chun'er out."

Xu Chengyin had been waiting at the door of Chen's house for a long time. He saw Zhao Fan walking over and said, "Xiao Fan, the day has come a lot earlier. Are you sure you can kill that big horned snake?"

Once they got acquainted with each other, he added the word "master". This was Zhao Fan's request to avoid any awkwardness or disagreement.

"We haven't really met yet, so it's hard to say." He yawned and said, "Is the Chen family ready?"

Xu Chengyin said happily: "I'm just waiting for you. Chen Dafu has also prepared a banquet."

At the same time, Chen Dafu, his wife, and the younger men of the Chen family stood quietly outside the door. He said to Lao Bai beside him with some worry: "I always feel uneasy, alas..."

"Brother Chen, calm down." Lao Bai said enlighteningly: "I can understand this feeling. Don't forget, I also watched Chun'er grow up. She is the only one among the younger generation who has no idea. Who doesn't treat her as a child?

A treasure? Zhao Fan is a master of martial arts and is good at Taoist mystic arts. It is almost certain that Chun'er's life will be placed on him. This is our blessing."

"right."

Chen Dafu then moved his eyes to his third son and said: "Last time you bumped into Grandmaster Zhao, don't be reckless this time, you know?"

"I understand, kid." Chen Sanshao nodded. There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes. He was about to see the martial arts master again. Any innate person who is obsessed with martial arts would probably feel like this.

"He's coming."

Chen Dafu whispered something, and the core members of the direct lineage of the Chen family looked over there. Zhao Fan and Xu Chengyin came slowly, and they all bowed and saluted. The former invited: "Master Zhao, before you say goodbye, please move to the main hall.

When dining, Lao Bai and I will practice it for you."

"No need, just prepare the food, water, tents, and tools in the wild." Zhao Fan waved his hand and refused. He was very full when he came in the morning. Even though the Chen family had a third of the world in the provincial capital, they were not worthy of letting him continue.

Then I filled my stomach with the second meal.

"Then...okay." Chen Dafu did not dare to complain and ordered the one-eyed warrior to open the door.

Zhao Fan went into Chen Chun'er's room, wrapped her in a quilt and carried her on his shoulders, then said to Chen Dafu: "When I come back, I will give you a lively daughter. By the way, let your third son follow, so that

Take care of her on the road."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked towards the outside of Chen's mansion.

Chen Dafu and Lao Bai looked at each other and became happy. He went over and patted Chen Sanshao on the back of the head, "Why are you standing there in a daze? Grandmaster asked you to accompany him, so hurry up!"

Being with a martial arts master and being casually mentioned a few words is a benefit that cannot be gained by years of hard training!

Chen Sanshao rubbed his ears as if in a dream, "Really? Did I hear you right?"

"No, hurry up, don't miss this good opportunity." Lao Bai pushed it forward three steps and said, "There's no need to take anything. I'll do something about it and leave a good impression on Grandmaster Zhao."

Chen Sanshao excitedly chased in the direction of Zhao Fan.

…

In the open space outside the Chen Mansion, two warriors had packed two large bags with the food and utensils for the trip, and Shenxiu asked them to put them in the trunk.

After Zhao Fan returned, he placed Chen Chun'er on the left side of the back seat and fastened the seat belt with the quilt. He then came to sit on the right side.

Chen Sanshao asked nervously: "Grandmaster, where will this junior sit?"

"Trunk." Three faint words came out of Zhao Fan's mouth.

"Well, okay." Chen Sanshao got in without mind. He had not had much contact with Zhao Fan. He was afraid of accidentally offending the master, so he huddled in the trunk like a stuffy gourd and thought about what to do.

The challenge can be just right, denying it again and again, imagining it again and again.

Shenxiu stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the highway.

…

Shennongjia is located in the west of Huzhou Province. It is said that Emperor Yan built a wooden ladder here in ancient times and got its name from all kinds of herbs. It has been covered with mystery since ancient times, and even now, it has not been fully explored.

This place has rolling mountains, criss-crossing rivers, and countless rare animals and plants.

While it is rich and beautiful, it also symbolizes the dangers that come from nature. Tourists often disappear inexplicably, and rumors of ghosts, wolf children, and savages have become a hot topic in the outside world.

Even Zhao Fan went on this trip with a sense of awe, because even his uncle and uncle were not completely sure that he could come out safe and sound after wandering around in it. Not only that, as an extraordinary being, he knew

There are far more things going on than what the outside world spreads, and they are much more dangerous.

After traveling for thirteen hours, the non-stop Shenxiu finally drove the car to the outskirts of Shennongjia. There is a town called Xiaguping, which is the hometown of the Tujia people.

Shenxiu stopped the car and said, "Brother Zhao, wake up, I'm so exhausted." Then he looked at Shi Qi, the co-pilot next to him, and said, "Don Shi Qi, you are so energetic, why can't you take the exam?"

A driver’s license?”

"I don't want to learn." Shi Qi put down her phone, looked out the window at the mountains and valleys surrounding the mountains, and said, "Compared to the city, this place is better."

"Okay? Indeed." Shenxiu nodded his big head and said with a smile: "We won't care when we enter the mountain. You won't feel this way. There is no signal and we can't even broadcast an advertisement."

"I want you to talk more."

Shi Qi glared at him, then turned around and pinched Zhao Fan's nose, suffocating him to wake him up and said: "The pig's head doesn't bark for nothing, you really can sleep."

"Where is it?" Zhao Fan asked with eyes wide open.

"Destination." Shenxiu said angrily: "It's already eleven o'clock in the middle of the night. Let's choose a hotel to rest first. After dawn, you can use the source tracking to determine the location of the big demon snake."

Seventeen said in confusion: "Why after dawn?"

"The snake demon is just like you ghosts. It likes to be active at night. It will pick a place during the day and then stop moving. This is the best time for him to locate the source and trace it, making it difficult for the target to detect it." Shenxiu explained.

Zhao Fan rushed to the trunk and ordered: "Chen San, go down and see which hotel has free rooms. If there is a big one, book a big one. If there is no big one, just come with three small ones."

"OK."

Chen Sanshao got out of the car quickly and disappeared into the night. About an hour later, he came back and said anxiously: "It's full. It's the peak tourist season."

"That's it... we can't have five of us squeezing into one car until dawn, right?" Zhao Fan said to Shenxiu again: "It's Brother Shenxiu's turn to show off. You just open your mouth at the beginning and the content is all made up. Go and take a look.

Which rich family has more rooms? Let me stay here for one night."

"Okay, okay, who calls you the boss?" Shenxiu picked up a rag, sprayed something on it, and wiped his bald head until it was shiny and shiny. Then he picked up a purple alms bowl and opened the door.

Went down.

Zhao Fan took this opportunity to dial Lin Qianqian's number and talked on the phone for ten minutes. Then he called Lao Liu to ask about the business situation of Lao Liu's shop today. He also asked him to give his mobile phone to Yaoyao and transformed into a warm-hearted brother to chat.

He got up and didn't hang up until Shenxiu came back.

"Brother Zhao, something bad is going on!" Shenxiu was startled and knocked on the car window outside.

"What?"

Zhao Fan felt nervous and pushed the door open.

Shenxiu said with lingering fear: "Now there is a large courtyard to the east of Guping. There is a big lock on the outside door, but I feel that there is a strong evil spirit inside. Who would have thought that when I opened my Dharma eyes, I saw that all five members of the family were dead. The appearance of their deaths

It’s still different, it seems like it’s been a few days. I’ve never seen such a strong evil spirit since I entered Buddhism.”

"The evil spirit is strong? A family of five is dead?" Zhao Fan frowned and asked as if he had a vague guess: "What does the big lock on the door look like?"

Shenxiu closed his eyes and recalled for a moment, and said: "It seems different from the two-pillar locks usually used at home. It seems to have three pillars."

"What color is the door?"

"The door is painted red, and there is a fishy smell from it."

"Three pillar lock, big red door..."
