After Pu Zixuan finished his apprenticeship, Zhu Shixiao removed the power of purification, patted the soil on Pu Zixuan's body, helped him up, sorted out the wrinkles on his clothes, and asked, "By the way, I heard from Su Sanniang that there is another nine-tailed fox demon with you. Where is she now?"

Pu Zixuan responded frankly: "Shuqing was injured by Su Sanniang in Sichuan and his injuries became increasingly serious. She is currently receiving treatment from Dr. Wu in Wangyou Hall. I guess it will take ten days and half a month, so I came to the Fairy Sword Hall alone to disturb my seniors."

Zhu Shihua was stunned: "You first came to Guiping, can you accept Wu Youxiang's consultation? How much money did you give her?"

Pu Zixuan smiled and said, "To be honest, Doctor Wu only accepts the appointment, and it needs to be a full month in advance. No matter how much money the disciple gives, she will not make an exception. In desperation, the disciple and Shuqing went to Zhaoyao Mountain and picked Zhu Yu from a tomb as a gift, which moved her."

Zhu Shixia nodded: "It's very capable, it's very capable! No wonder Su Sanniang praised the nine-tailed fox."

Pu Zixuan tilted his head and asked unwillingly: "Ah? Didn't you like me?"

Zhu Shixia thought for a while and said, "It's true that there isn't."

Pu Zixuan recalled carefully that when he defeated the Dadu River monster and the demon spider alone in Leshan, Su Sanniang was indeed not present, but all he saw was the scene of being shot, being beaten, and losing his child. Even the battle with Su Sanniang herself was done by Chen Shuqing. He couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Where is Su Sanniang now?"

Zhu Shihua said: "You two can practice together, so I will take you to see her now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp arrow flew towards Pu Zixuan from a high place. Fortunately, Pu Zixuan was quick-witted this time, screaming "Wow" and avoiding the arrow sideways.

Then, a familiar woman jumped off the roof and said with a high voice: "Pu Zixuan, I haven't seen you for a long time since Sichuan. Are you fine?"

The figure was nothing but Su Sanniang. When she was falling, a breeze blew over her face, which was extremely charming and majestic.

When Pu Zixuan saw his long-lost companion, he was ecstatic: "Su Sanniang, why are you here?"

Su Sanniang smiled and said, "Haha, when you were fighting with your master, I was watching the whole way on the roof, wanting to see if you have made any progress during this period. It seems that it is still the skill of being too fucked."

Zhu Shixia smiled and said, "Su Sanniang, this is how you say hello? Are you not afraid of shooting your companion with a sword?"

Su Sanniang waved her hand disapprovingly: "As long as this guy doesn't shoot him to death, he will be lively again after only two hours. His Star River Dragon King is the most powerful, and it makes people salivate."

Pu Zixuan grimaced proudly: "This can be considered a praising me, right?"

Su Sanniang said, "It's a pity that you have such a despicable ability, you are using it like a waste, so you come here to learn from your master. Why don't you thank me?"

"Without being loved, why not..." Pu Zixuan said to Zhu Shihua, "Does Su Sanniang still have to pay tuition fees when learning skills again? Even if it is above my head, as a thank you to her."

Zhu Shixia smiled and said, "It seems that you are really a rich young man. I, an old man, are jealous of money. Everyone in the world knows it, but I have promised Su Sanniang that there will be no fees for this practice."

Pu Zixuan laughed and said, "Master, are you so generous?"

Zhu Shixiao said: "Of course not, so there are conditions. That is, either be my closed disciple or help me with work. Su Sanniang has agreed to participate in May's New Year as a disciple of the Fairy Sword Hall. You can leave my church and continue your journey afterwards."

"Stay the New Year?" Pu Zixuan said in confusion, "I have heard that I just go to the Broken Heart Valley to eliminate demons. But, this is not the best for you... no, what are the benefits of our Fairy Sword Hall?"

"Haha, come with me, maybe you guys may be interested, too."

After saying that, Zhu Shihua led the two of them to continue walking towards the backyard, passed through a porch, and came to a huge room.

The door of the house is locked, and there are two sword guards standing at the door. Just standing outside the door, you can hear the sound of ghosts and wolves crying and howling inside.

"Open the door." Zhu Shihua ordered.

"Yes, Master!"

When the guards respectfully opened the door, a foul stinking came to their faces, and the howling of ghosts and wolves became even louder.

When he walked into the house, Pu Zixuan couldn't believe everything in front of him - countless wooden cages of all sizes were placed among them. In the cages, all kinds of rare beasts were locked up like domestic pigs in pigpens. Some were paced back and forth, some were sleeping on the ground, and some were able to speak, and they screamed when they saw this.

"Zhu Shihua, you must die a bad death!"

"Zhu Shixia, you are going to the eighteen levels of hell!"

Zhu Shixia ignored all kinds of curses and introduced proudly to Pu Zixuan: "Some people like to collect muskets, some people like to collect BMWs, and my hobby is to collect monsters! We catch monsters from all over the country, then trade them between major sects, or sell them to ordinary wealthy merchants. Over time, a large monster market has been formed. No matter how fierce these monsters were in the past, they are now locked in cages made of small-leafed red sandalwood, and they cannot exert their demonic power at all. And the year-end in May every year is the best time to capture monsters. How about it, disciple, are you interested?"

Pu Zixuan felt numb when he saw it. Although eliminating monsters is the duty of purifying messengers, it is out of justice. Now the opposition between purifying messengers and monsters has become a tool for making money here, and Pu Zixuan can't adapt for a while.

In an instant, he recalled what the coachman Lao Fang said to him in Xinbanzhuang: "In order to retain these purifying envoys, the court agreed to them to trade and sell monsters. Seeing that it was profitable, these people stayed in Guangxi and stopped leaving, and gradually formed many sects of all sizes..."

"Master, my disciple just wants to learn from his master and have no intention of getting involved in such a thing..." Pu Zixuan asked Su Sanniang again, "Have you decided on this matter?"

"Yes, I have told you a long time ago that Guangxi is a gathering place for purifying messengers and monsters. There is no place where there will be such a mature monster culture as Guangxi. You must get used to it." Su Sanniang finished her answer briskly and said solemnly, "Pu Zixuan, welcome to Guangxi Demon City!"

Pu Zixuan looked at the pitiful monsters and felt pity. After all, Chen Shuqing and He Xichen had a close relationship with him. No one knew whether there were kind monsters among these monsters. It was really unacceptable to trade them as commodities for personal gain, so he could only stammer: "That...but, I haven't thought about it yet."

Zhu Shihua was not angry, patted Pu Zixuan on the shoulder and comforted him: "A teacher is a businessman, everything is fair. As long as you pay enough tuition, the master will not force you to do anything. Anyway, you know your master's hobbies. If you catch some evil monsters in the future, you will be grateful to me as a businessman. Today, you have come here, so just visit it casually."

Zhu Shihua introduced as he walked: "Look at this phoenix bird, with colorful and beautiful feathers. It was bought from the Eternal Life Sect... This monster with human head and beast body is called a deer owl. He likes to eat people. At that time, one female and one male appeared at the same time. We used force and accidentally broke the female's arm. When the master saw that his appearance was not good, he killed the female, knocked the male out of her body, and then caught it..."

Before he finished speaking, the roe owl roared: "Old thief Zhu, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost! Don't let me go out, otherwise, I will definitely kill you!"

The three of them came to a huge cage again. There was a huge brown beast in it, like a giant elephant, with a face like a tiger, a horn like an antelope, and a pair of eagle wings. They were grinning and howling at the three of them. Zhu Shihua said: "This is a trophy that is proud of for the teacher. It is called Qiongqi. It is an extremely rare kind of fierce monster. Most people are not opponents at all. It was captured by my wise grandson Zhu Yafeng in the New Year's Eve event two years ago."

"And this..." Zhu Shihua kicked a small cage, which was a curled red-skinned snake, and its wings collapsed and pulled it motionless. "The flying snake is called the snake... Hey, it's not still hibernating... Hey..."

Zhu Shihua leaned over and reached into the cage to explore it, and said in surprise: "It's broken, dead, alas." Then he called two guards at the door, "Come on, pull this monster out and throw it away."

Two guards entered the room, one of them twisted the cage and took the dead object out without saying a word.

...

Pu Zixuan looked at the two of them leaving with cages. These rare monsters really opened his eyes, but he felt like he had knocked over the five flavor bottles in his heart. Indeed, complicated tastes came one after another. He felt that the stench was extremely scented, as if he had entered the cycle of animal reincarnation. He wanted to leave quickly, and said, "Master, I'm a little disgusting..."

Zhu Shihua smiled and said, "Okay, Master will show you the last treasure. It is the monster I caught from Yunnan a few days ago. This is the monster I cherish most. I want to spend 200 gold to buy it. If I don't sell it, they will rob it. As a result, we beat you up to pieces. Haha, it's here..."

Zhu Shihua led the two of them to a cage. There was a little boy inside, who looked like a monster at all.!

As he approached, Pu Zixuan could see clearly. The little boy Shui Jian Xingye was pitiful. He was not someone else. He was the little tree he encountered in the ghost house No. 14, Lijiang Road, a few months ago!

Even though the little boy's hair grew, dirty, and thinner, Pu Zixuan recognized him and shouted in disbelief: "Little Tree!"

The little boy looked up and said in surprise: "Brother Pu Zixuan!"

"It's really you, it's really you! Oh my God!" Pu Zixuan couldn't believe that he would reunite with the little tree in this way here!

Zhu Shixia wondered, "What? You actually know this Ba Laizi?"

Su Sanniang reminded: "Master, they all came from Lijiang, Yunnan..."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, I always think Balaizi should be from Zhejiang. If you don't say it, I'll forget it...no wonder..."

Pu Zixuan immediately leaned over and begged, "Master, this monster is my disciple's friend. I hope you can give him freedom in the face of his disciple. No matter how much you pay, the disciple will spare no matter how much you pay!"

Zhu Shihua immediately frowned and shook his head and said, "It's not because of the master who deliberately made things difficult for his disciples, but it's not a matter of money! Do you know how precious this monster is?"

Pu Zixuan thought to himself that when dealing with this child, he did not find anything strange about him, and his curiosity was immediately adjusted to the extreme, and then said, "Please make it clear by Master!"
