After the two of them had eaten, they looked at the sky. Dongfang Yu said, "Okay, Brother Ning, we have to walk faster. It may rain." Read
"It's raining." Ning Caichen, who was lying on the lawn and was still reminiscing about the delicious food just now, heard this and was slightly startled. He looked at the sky and the blue sky, and expressed his doubts. Looking at such a sky, there was nothing like it.
It looks like it's raining
Dongfang Yu didn't explain, and stood up. After all, Dongfang Yu's magical ability was very convincing. After eating, Ning Caichen also felt a little stronger. He climbed up and put on his back
He packed his luggage and walked quickly behind Dongfang Yu.
Sure enough, after walking for about an hour, when they saw the stone monument of Guobei County in the distance, thunder sounded in the sky, and at the same time, thick black clouds came from nowhere. Seeing this, Ning Caichen
I admire Dongfang Jade even more. It is indeed a clever plan. If I hadn't accelerated my pace, I might have turned into a drowned rat.
Approaching the county seat of Guobei County, there was a small thatched pavilion on the road. Dongfang Yu and Ning Caichen hid in the pavilion. Not long after, a heavy downpour came. Ning Caichen was very happy to see the big raindrops.
, he kept saying words of admiration and reverence.
Looking at Ning Caichen's appearance, Dongfang Yu smiled secretly. In the original book, Ning Caichen was caught in the rain and his account book was wet, so he couldn't see anything clearly. Naturally, the innkeeper refused to hand over the money.
He gave it to him, so he had no choice but to stay in Lanruo Temple. Now that the account book is not wet, maybe he will not go to Lanruo Temple again.
To put it bluntly, just like in the original work, humans and ghosts fall in love, and in the end Nie Xiaoqian is reincarnated. In the end, he still ends up with a lover who cannot get married. Today, I have changed his fate. He no longer has to stay in Lanruo Temple.
There is no need to start a love that is destined to be a tragedy. Perhaps, it may not be a good thing for him.
At this moment, a burst of dense and panicked footsteps sounded. Immediately, only seven or eight people were seen running over in a panic. Behind them, a swordsman with a sword was chasing these people. It turned out that these few
This guy is a bandit and makes a living by stealing every day, but today he hit a brick wall and met a powerful swordsman, so he was chased all the way.
Seeing this murder scene, Ning Caichen was naturally scared. However, with Dongfang Yu by his side, he felt safe and just shrank behind Dongfang Yu.
Dongfang Yu looked at the opponent carefully. The strength of this swordsman was not weak. Although he couldn't compare with himself, if this kind of force was placed in the plane, he could be regarded as a first-class master. How could these bandits belong to him?
The opponent was easily killed by him as if he was chopping melons and vegetables.
After killing all the bandits, the swordsman stood in the rain and looked at Dongfang Yu and Ning Caichen. His eyes paused on the elf sword on Dongfang Yu's waist, and then he put away the sword and entered the pavilion.
The pavilion was only used for people to hide from the rain and the sun. The decoration was naturally simple, with only a stone table and two stone benches. Because Ning Caichen was a little afraid of the swordsman, he hid behind Dongfang Yu and left the pavilion empty.
A stone bench, the swordsman was not polite and sat down with a golden sword.
"Brother Xiahou," Dongfang Yu turned his head, glanced at the swordsman beside him, and asked. Although it was a question, it was in an affirmative tone. This person was obviously the one who fought in A Chinese Ghost Story.
Soy Sauce was the Xiahou swordsman who was killed by the tree spirit grandma of Lanruo Temple.
Speaking of which, the Xiahou swordsman is still very strong, otherwise he would not be qualified to dream of becoming the best swordsman in the world. In the original work, he is only a little behind Yan Chixia in the sword competition, but it is a pity that
After all, he was just a swordsman, but he didn't have the ability to conquer demons. He was also deceived by the female ghost, so that he was easily killed by Lan Ruoshi's tree spirit.
"Your Excellency, who knows me?" It was just a chance encounter, but Dongfang Yu revealed his identity immediately. The Xiahou swordsman's expression tightened, he put his palm on the scabbard and asked.
"Taoist Master, do you know this person?" Even Ning Caichen asked cautiously when he heard Dongfang Yu calling him Xiahou Swordsman.
"Brother Xiahou went there for Yan Chixia of Lanruo Temple," Dongfang Yu asked, ignoring Xiahou swordsman's hostility.
"Who are you? Not only do you know me, but you also know Yan Chixia. How do you know that Yan Chixia is in Lanruo Temple?" Xiahou Swordsman looked even more suspicious. He pulled out his sword and stared at it.
Looking at Dongfang Yu, he asked.
"You have forgotten that I can pinch and calculate." Turning around, Dongfang Yu smiled at Ning Caichen and replied. Then he turned around and said to Xiahou Swordsman: "Brother Xiahou, I think you also
It’s not like he’s a bad person, he’s just too competitive, so I’ll give you a hexagram.”
"Humph, you are a Taoist priest, and Yan Chixia is also a Taoist priest. Are you sent by him?" Xiahou Swordsman obviously did not trust Dongfang Yu easily. He snorted coldly and asked. On the contrary, he suspected Dongfang Yu and Yan
Chixia is in the same group.
"Brother Xiahou, this trip is dangerous. If you insist on going to Lanruo Temple, you may not be safe." Dongfang Yu shook his head and said regretfully to the swordsman Xiahou, trying to persuade him to turn back.
Although Dongfang Yu has never thought of himself as a good person who sacrifices himself for others, and even has countless lives on hand, if he can save a person with a little effort, Dongfang Yu still wants to give it a try.
"Hmph, you are deceiving the public with your evil words and the words of the charlatans. How can you believe the words of the charlatan? In my life, the one I hate the most is the Taoist priest. Go back and tell Yan Chixia that I will definitely go to Lanruo Temple tonight to compete with him."
Xiahou Swordsman obviously didn't listen to Dongfang Yu's words, but he had no intention of taking action. He returned the sword to its sheath and left the small pavilion regardless of the heavy rain outside.
It wasn't until Xiahou Swordsman's figure completely disappeared in the rain that Ning Caichen spoke and asked Dongfang Yu: "Taoist Master, do you think that he will die, do you think someone as powerful as him will die?"
Yes, in Ning Caichen's opinion, bandits in the world are very scary, but that Xiahou swordsman easily killed these bandits with one man and one sword, which is even more unbelievable. Someone as powerful as him
Ning Caichen found it incredible that people can die.
"My martial arts skills are great, but I can't stop the demons and monsters." Shaking his head, Dongfang Yu sighed in a low voice. It was his good fortune to be able to save him with just a little effort. If he couldn't save him, Dongfang Yu could only sigh with regret. He
I insist on seeking death, who can stop me?
In fact, Dongfang Yuxin has already made some guesses about Xiahou Swordsman’s persistence. In the original work, even though Xiahou Swordsman was killed by the tree spirit grandma, when Yan Chixia was burying his bones, he still moved to kill Yan Chi.
Xia, his obsession with Yan Chixia can be said to be an obsession. If he can be persuaded to leave with just one word, then he is no longer a Xiahou swordsman.
Soon, the rain stopped. Ning Caichen tidied up and went to the county town to collect the debt. However, Dongfang Yu had no intention of following him into the county town. He walked with Ning Caichen, but his goal was Lanruo Temple.
, just along the way, now that we have reached the end of the field, there is no need to follow him.
Hearing that Dongfang Yu was leaving, Ning Caichen was very reluctant to leave, but there was no such thing as a banquet in the world. Ning Caichen didn't say much. After saying goodbye to each other, Ning Caichen packed up his bags and walked into the county town.
Went in.
Looking at his back, Dongfang Yu sighed, missing Nie Xiaoqian. For him, it was either joy or sadness.
Shaking his head, he had been feeling a lot lately. Dongfang Jade also left the small pavilion and Lanruo Temple. Dongfang Jade only knew that it was near Guobei County, but he didn’t know which direction it was in. But this is not a problem. The direction Xiahou Swordsman left just now,
It should be in the direction of Lanruo Temple.
The road after the heavy rain was very difficult to walk, and the mud was even as deep as the calves in some places. However, the chakra of Dongfang Jade gathered in the soles of the feet, making it as smooth as walking on flat ground.
After walking like this for several miles, they finally came to a forest. As soon as they walked into the woods, Dongfang Yu felt a feeling of being spied on. There seemed to be something in the air that made her feel...
Very uncomfortable chill.
Even the dragon vein that was placed in the backpack and carried close to the body seemed to vibrate slightly at this moment. Dongfang Yu secretly sighed. This world with ghosts and monsters really made people feel uncomfortable.
Ordinary people may not be able to feel it, but Dongfang Jade's spiritual sense is very keen, and he can clearly feel the cold atmosphere that seems to be permeating the surroundings. It is no wonder that the cultivators want to slay demons, let alone other things.
, just these permeated evil spirits and ghostly spirits made them feel very uncomfortable.
In this forest, you can see uncollected corpses everywhere, and occasionally you can hear a few howls of wolves. It is no wonder that even in such troubled times where people cannibalize people, everyone in Guobei County has heard of Lanruo Temple.
The color has changed. Just the corpses that can be seen everywhere on the road, coupled with the gloomy atmosphere here, make people feel terrified.
On Dongfang Jade's side, they entered the woods of Lanruo Temple. On the other side, in Guobei County, Ning Caichen found the inn where the bill was collected.
Originally, the innkeeper and the waiter were very enthusiastic when they saw the guests coming in. The waiter even rushed to help Ning Caichen move his luggage, but as Ning Caichen spoke, he said that he was sent by Jibaozhai to collect the bill.
Yes, the innkeeper's face immediately turned cold, and the waiter also rolled his eyes, threw Ning Caichen's luggage on the ground and left.
Looking at his luggage that was thrown on the ground, Ning Caichen had no choice but to pick it up quickly and immediately took out the account book from inside.
It happened to be a troubled time, a world where people cannibalize people. The world was so chaotic that the shopkeeper was unwilling to take out the money. But since the other party had the account book and it was accurate, he had no choice but to give the money to Ning Cai.
Chen, then drove him away with a tigerish face.
In the inn, there were people from all walks of life, and the county town was also in chaos. There were constant shouts of death. Holding the money he received, Ning Caichen carefully walked through the crowd, but he didn't see that there were several people behind him who looked fierce.
The man followed him from the inn and followed him out.
To these people who are on the run, scholars like Ning Caichen who carry money with them are just like fat sheep walking around. There is no reason to let them go. To be continued.
