After leaving Jingzhou, signs of early spring can already be seen everywhere.
The new buds stained with dew on the roadside and the fragrance of earth in the air remind pedestrians that most of the winter is over.
On the official road from the north to Liangcheng, the capital city, a man and a woman wearing bamboo hats were walking briskly.
"The last time I came to Liangzhou, I passed by when I was returning to Beijing from Weizhou." Lin Ji said casually.
Although he was a rootless duckweed, he was the same everywhere, but when he returned to Liangzhou, he felt inexplicably relaxed.
The invisible oppression in Beijing, the tension in Yunzhou, and the bloody storm in Victoria.
Only in Liangzhou, he seemed to be able to relax completely.
"After all, I have been working here for five or six years. Compared with other places, only Liangzhou feels like my hometown."
"Uncle Lin is from Liangzhou?" Xiaoying asked from the side.
Although she is several years older than Lin Ji, her face is a bit younger due to her recent breakthrough in Yuanshen. In addition, she has a slim and petite figure and an outstanding temperament. Judging from her appearance alone, she looks like a lively seventeen or eighteen year old.
girl.
"I'm not from Liangzhou, I just stayed in Liangzhou for a long time... I guess I can be considered a Liangzhou native." Lin Ji said half of the sentence before changing his words temporarily.
Xiaoying didn't care about the entanglement in Lin Ji's words, and asked excitedly: "Is there any interesting place in Liangzhou? What about the Qingcheng Sect?"
"A fun place to go? If we talk about mountains and rivers, the Lianghe River flows southward into the sea, which can be considered turbulent. Further south there are Qingshan... Qinghua Mountain where the Qingcheng Sect is located is just a peak in the Qingshan Mountains."
"Other than that?" Xiaoying was obviously dissatisfied.
"No more." Lin Ji said.
"Gone?"
"I don't know. For many years in Liangzhou, I just stayed in the county or worked on errands. How could I think about sightseeing and sightseeing." Lin Ji shook his head and smiled, "When I have some free time in the future, I will be able to think about it.
These."
As he spoke, the walls of Liang City could already be seen in the distance.
On the other side of the road, a path enters the dense forest. Looking further into the distance, you can see bluestone steps going straight up the mountain peak, and at the end is the spire of a temple.
"Where is the temple? There are temples in Liangzhou?" Xiaoying said, pointing to the temple on the mountain in the distance.
"What's so strange?" Lin Ji responded casually.
"I heard from Master that monks are not welcome in Kyushu," Xiaoying said.
"They are unpopular among monks, but not necessarily among common people." Lin Ji shook his head and said, "Common people live a boring and boring life, working hard all day long. If they don't have any thoughts in their hearts, how can they survive?"
"Nianxiang?"
"It's like eating the most hardships to become a master, or the sea of suffering in the mouth of a bald donkey has no end... Anyway, you have to believe in something."
After traveling for more than ten days and spending more than ten days with Xiaoying, Lin Ji really treated his nephew, who was older than himself, as a junior.
"The monks don't want to see the bald donkey because there is a Buddhist country to the west, and that's where the bald donkey should be. Jiuzhou cultivates Taoism, and the Buddhist country cultivates Buddhism. There is no superiority or inferiority between the two, but they are incompatible with each other."
"My master said what Bald Donkey cultivates is bullshit."
"That...is not impossible to say." Lin Ji was speechless.
This does sound like what Shen Long would say.
The events in Weizhou are still fresh in my mind. There is no Alaya Consciousness, but the Buddhist Kingdom of the West is still there.
That Alaya Shi was just an elder in Ci'en Temple back then.
As long as the Buddhist Kingdom remains, the monks in Kyushu will not relax their vigilance towards Buddhism.
While he was talking, there was a sudden noise in front of him.
In Liangcheng in the distance, several demon hunters were seen rushing out of the city gate under the leadership of a head catcher. In front of them, a figure fled in panic.
"You're a bully! If you keep chasing me, you'll have to fight back!" The fleeing man roared, with a sharp tone in his voice, but his feet became faster and faster.
The demon hunters in Liangcheng who were chasing behind him were obviously not as fast as him. Except for the leader, the other demon hunters soon became hanging behind, helpless.
In just a moment, the fleeing man had already arrived in front of Lin Ji and Xiaoying.
"Get out of the way, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless with the knife in my hand!"
While running for his life, the man was waving a big knife in his hand, which looked quite powerful.
"These days, even Yeyoujing dares to cause trouble in Liangcheng." Lin Ji chuckled twice and looked at Xiaoying beside him.
"Go, help them, and leave that person behind."
Xiaoying responded, she was already eager to give it a try.
Along the way, she has stabilized her cultivation in the fifth realm, and all she needs is a whetstone.
Now that the whetstone was delivered to her door, and Uncle Lin was watching over it, she naturally had no worries at all.
"What kind of bastard dares to ask my aunt to give way? Just watch!"
Xiaoying shouted loudly and grabbed the luggage behind her with both hands.
With a fierce flick, she grasped a pair of steel whips.
"Steel whip?" Lin Ji's eyes lit up. This was the first time he saw such a weapon.
Soon, Xiaoying was seen rising into the air and rushing towards the fleeing gangster.
clang clang..
There was a crisp sound, and the steel whip and the sword collided together.
The expected equal match did not appear. The villain was knocked back two steps by Xiaoying's blow, and Xiaoying flew out directly and fell in front of Lin Ji.
He fell to the ground, the pain on his body was nothing, but Lin Ji's condescending expression, half-smiling but not smiling, made Xiaoying want to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
"Didn't you say that you are invincible at the same level? That person is not even in the middle of the night tour...how could he suffer such a big loss in just one encounter?"
Along the way, Lin Ji often heard from Xiaoying that she was extremely talented and had few rivals at the same level.
It's true that you are talented, but being invincible at the same level is really bragging.
"This girl is careless!"
Xiaoying jumped up from the ground.
At the same time, because of the blockade just now, the Liangcheng policeman behind him had also caught up and was fighting with the gangster.
It's a pity that the head catcher is only in the fourth level. If it weren't for the official skin of the Tiansi Supervisor, and this gangster is concerned about the town officials in the city, I'm afraid that with just one or two moves, the head catcher would be killed on the spot.
"You can't kill him, but he's still clinging to you like a dog-skin plaster. Jian Tiansi's lackey is really abominable!"
After kicking the head catcher away, the gangster muttered something viciously and glanced at Xiaoying who was coming up behind him.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly roared.
"If you continue to go on, don't blame me for being rude. I have been traveling in Kyushu for many years. I have never killed you dogs in official clothes!"
As he finished speaking, the villain's eyes suddenly turned red and veins popped out all over his body.
The next moment, the sky was filled with blood mist!
Lin Ji, who was not far away, raised his eyebrows.
