When the abbot of Hongfu Temple saw the scholar, he immediately pointed at him and said to the monster: "This is the person you are looking for! It has nothing to do with our entire temple!"
Scholar, I'm sorry, but in exchange for your life in exchange for the whole temple, you have also made great merits in front of the Buddha, and you will definitely be blessed by God."
Scholar Jiang Liuer said with a smile: "I have cultivated great merits. I don't know, Abbot, whether this is considered to be a meritorious practice or a karmic retribution?"
The abbot's face changed, and Amitabha said: "I have served the Buddha's golden body all year round, and the Buddha will definitely forgive me. Besides, this temple has tried its best, and sacrificing so many bhikkhunis for you alone is definitely not what the Buddha would like to see."
When the monster saw this, he laughed loudly, "Today's Buddhist disciples have become so hypocritical. Since you are so greedy for life and afraid of death, I won't kill you. Jiang Liu'er, just let me go!"
Jiang Liu'er shook his folding fan and said with a smile: "Why should I leave with you? This is not the time for two heroes to fight against each other."
As he spoke, he pointed to the temple wall with his fan. Luo Xiuxin and Xu Lan happened to come in and saw the scene just now.
Xu Lan smiled, but her heart was moved, and she thought to herself: This scholar was asked by the Immortal Master to save me? Why does the Immortal Master pay attention to this person? What is so special about this person?
"This brother and the heroine have invited me. We meet each other in the world. My little brother is in trouble, please help me!"
Jiang Liuer quickly ran behind the two of them, which was quite rude.
When the monster wrapped in black wind saw this, it became furious and stretched out its claws to catch it. However, a sword light in the air cut its claws in half.
The monster screamed in pain, black energy surged from the broken area, and its claws returned to their original state, and then stared at Luo Xiuxin who had just used the sword to kill it.
Luo Xiuxin walked out with her sword in hand, as if Guanyin had descended upon the ghost, and her holy aura wiped out the surging evil spirit in the temple.
She smiled and said to the abbot of Hongfu Temple: "Abbott, do you still want to stick to the temple rules and let the little girl go out?"
"This... this... the heroine is here to save me!"
Just from the comparison of momentum, the abbot could obviously see how powerful Luo Xiuxin was, and he quickly begged for help.
Luo Xiuxin also shook her head. At this time, the black wind monster had already rushed over.
Luo Xiuxin concentrated her sword in her hand, and a phoenix cry resounded throughout the world!
The monster seemed to feel the suppression in its blood, and a look of panic appeared on its withered and terrifying face. It even temporarily changed its body shape and tried to escape.
Even though it ran away quickly, it couldn't match the speed of the sword in Luo Xiuxin's hand!
She was startled by another phoenix cry, and the long sword quickly passed through the monster's body with her figure. The monster's chest suddenly burned. No matter what kind of magic method it used to deal with it, it could not extinguish the blazing flames.
In just a moment, its demonic power was burned away, and its burned body could no longer be restored, turning into a puddle of ashes and being blown away by the wind.
Jiang Liu'er, who was standing next to Xu Lan, clapped her hands with a folding fan, "Ha, the girl is really good at kung fu, Xiao Ke admires her! If you dare to ask the girl her name, Xiao Ke will definitely thank you with a big gift."
After saying that, he walked up to strike up a conversation, and he saw that he was a veteran of Huazong.
Xu Lan's eyes were blank. This man called himself his younger brother when he called for help, and now he called himself Xiaoke. It was so shameless.
He immediately pulled him back and said, "Brother, my junior sister needs money for slaying demons. If there is any heavy gift, please give it immediately."
Jiang Liuer opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Xu Lan and Luo Xiu smiled knowingly. Xu Lan turned to look at the abbot and asked directly: "Abbot, are there any free guest rooms?"
"Yes! Yes! You two, please come with me!" As he spoke, the abbot was full of flattery.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Liuer also followed.
"Hey, brother, are you also coming to Beijing to take the exam?" Jiang Liu'er asked.
"It seems that Brother Jiang has also come to Beijing to take the exam." Xu Lan said.
"Hey, why don't the three of us talk by candlelight tonight..."
"I reject."
Luo Xiuxin also smiled and said, "I refuse too."
Jiang Liu'er froze on the spot and said helplessly: "You two are so bored. In that case, let's go to Beijing together tomorrow to chat. Hey, Xiao Ke went to Beijing three years ago to try out for a round, but unfortunately he lost his reputation. But he is so good at Beijing.
We are generally familiar with my hometown, but if you two are not familiar with each other, Xiao Ke is willing to guide you two."
Jiang Liu'er's hospitality was obviously directed at Luo Xiuxin, who said: "There is no need to trouble Master Jiang. My father is an official in Chang'an, and he will have someone to take care of him after he enters the city."
Jiang Liu'er's jaw widened and he watched the two of them return to their respective rooms with disappointed eyes.
Xu Lan shook his head slightly after entering the room and thought to himself: This Jiang Liu'er is just a playboy who fights cocks and lackeys. Why did he attract the attention of the Immortal?
Just as I was about to lie down in bed and rest, someone suddenly knocked on the window outside.
Xu Lan frowned slightly, secretly thinking that he knocked on the window instead of knocking on the door in the middle of the night, which was very suspicious.
He asked through the window: "Which friend?"
"It's me, Jiang Liu'er."
Xu Lan was stunned. It was indeed Jiang Liuer's voice, but his tone was completely different from the playboy look before. He looked quite majestic and solemn, as if he had changed his personality.
"It's already the fourth watch. If Brother Jiang doesn't go and have a rest early, why are you here?"
"Beware of the person in your dream." After saying this, he heard Jiang Liuer's footsteps leaving.
Xu Lan was startled, and his heart was beating wildly. What did the other party know? Combined with the reminder from the Immortal Lord, did he know who the Immortal Lord was? Did he know through the Immortal Lord that I often practice martial arts in dreams?
While I was thinking, a voice came from the next room.
Luo Xiuxin asked with concern: "Senior brother, I overheard what you just said. What did that scholar mean?"
Xu Lan pretended to be calm and replied through the wall: "This person is acting crazy, maybe he is deliberately teasing you and me. He seems to be interested in you, junior sister, and he may be annoyed that I blocked his good deeds before.
There are many boring people in the world, junior sister, you don’t need to keep them in mind.”
Although there was a wall, Xu Lan knew that with Luo Xiuxin's cultivation level, he could hear her.
"Oh, as long as you don't take it to heart, senior brother, go to bed early."
Xu Lan didn't sleep well that night. He activated the jade talisman close to his body, but he could never enter the dream world again.
Naturally, he could not help but have some thoughts about Jiang Liu'er, and planned to test him out in the morning.
The rooster crowed and the sky was dim.
At this time, the gates of Chang'an City should have been opened. Xu Lan got up early, but his junior sister Luo Xiuxin got up earlier than him and had been practicing swordplay in the courtyard for a long time.
She is not afraid of others spying on her swordsmanship. After all, the swordsmanship she learned focuses on the sword's intention rather than the sword's power. Even if her swordsmanship is peeked through, there is no way she can learn it successfully without the mental skills.
Luo Xiuxin learned the living sword, which is consistent with her own personality. In addition, she has outstanding talent. She has practiced the Fengming Sword Art to the level of Fengming Jiutian. The next level is to be reborn from the ashes. To break through
Death gate.
She is still a little far away from this step. If she breaks through the death barrier and becomes reborn from the ashes, it will be enough to achieve the realm of crossing the void. She can physically cross the sea of karma and enter the top twenty realms on the earth list.
Thinking of his junior sister's martial arts skills, Xu Lan shook his head slightly to himself. He hadn't even learned the third diagram of the Immortality Technique yet, and there was still a long way to go before he could catch up with his junior sister.
