The Xiahou swordsman took the lead without saying a word.
Yan Chixia saw the tricks and fought with the swordsman Xiahou.
Yan Chixia looked like a man in his thirties or forties with a beard.
Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, he is also a spiritual practitioner.
His cultivation realm should be the Qi training realm. Because a hundred years later, he became a pile of withered bones.
Yan Chixia used to be a shopkeeper. She had seen too many injustices in the world and was tired of the intrigues between people. He hid in Lanruo Temple alone, living with tree demons and female ghosts as neighbors, trying to keep quiet.
Swordsman Xiahou is a swordsman with superb swordsmanship. He wants to be the best swordsman in the world. He is very utilitarian, but does not have the strength to match it.
"Brother Zhou, I have seen that man before. He is a murderer." Ning Caichen pointed at Xiahou Swordsman and said softly.
"Murderer? What's going on?" Zhou Qiang casually watched the sword fight between Yan Chixia and Xiahou Swordsman.
Both of them used ordinary martial arts, their moves were wide open and closed, their swordsmanship was very fast, and they were full of strength. They could be considered masters in the ordinary world.
"This afternoon, I was hiding from the rain in the thatched shed..." Ning Caichen told the story of the Xiahou swordsman who killed the thief.
"Brother Ning, according to your words, the swordsman should be chasing thieves, not killing innocent people indiscriminately."
"Even if you are chasing a thief, you should not kill people randomly."
"Brother Ning, how did you know that the swordsman killed people at will? What if those thieves not only stole things, but also killed the swordsman?" Zhou Qiang asked back. Many people like to regard their guesses as facts.
"This..." Ning Caichen didn't know what to say.
"Brother Ning, we don't need to guess. We can just ask directly later."
Ning Caichen nodded and stopped talking.
Whoosh whoosh, clang clang clang...
The fight between Yan Chixia and Xiahou Swordsman was quite lively.
The two jumped up and down and fought for a while.
Finally, Yan Chixia stabbed Xiahou Swordsman in the left shoulder. The two stopped.
Yan Chixia was obviously showing mercy. If he stabbed Xiahou Swordsman in the left chest, Xiahou Swordsman would definitely die.
"Brother Xiahou, you have been fighting with me for seven years, and you have lost for seven years. But you are really patient. Wherever I avoid, you chase me."
"Yan Chixia, I didn't expect that you sharpened your sword in Lanruo Temple for half a month."
"Brother Xiahou, it's not that my sword is sharper, but that you are too ambitious and don't seek to improve. For the sake of the false reputation of being the best swordsman in the world, you were too distracted and did not concentrate on practicing swordsmanship."
"You two!" At this time, Zhou Qiang took a few steps forward, "Brothers, I have something to ask you. Brother, this afternoon, did you..." Zhou Qiang directly asked about the Xiahou swordsman's murder that afternoon.
】
"What? Xiahou, you actually killed innocent people indiscriminately?!" Yan Chixia shouted angrily.
"They are just killing innocent people indiscriminately. They are just a few gangsters. Those people..." Xiahou Swordsman explained the situation. He did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Those people's hands were covered with the blood of innocent people. He can be regarded as a chivalrous person.
"It turns out that Brother Ning was present at that time and had some misunderstandings about Brother Xiahou.
I have some food and wine here. You two must be hungry after a fight. How about we have a drink together? "Zhou Qiang looked bold.
"Thank you so much." Yan Chixia agreed happily. He is a free and easy person.
Xiahou Swordsman originally lost the competition and wanted to leave, but he hesitated and did not leave.
Several people cleaned up a clean room.
I drank a few glasses of wine and ate a few bites of meat.
The atmosphere became lively.
Now Yan Chixia is bragging, and now Xiahou Swordsman is bragging.
Zhou Qiang also made up several stories, boasting that his swordsmanship was also good.
Ning Caichen listened quietly. He is just a bookworm who has read a few books. He knows nothing but a kind heart.
At this time, in the wild, the female ghosts had begun to move.
They were searching for the living.
Nie Xiaoqian arrived near Lanruo Temple.
Looking at a few people who were drinking and eating meat from a distance.
She didn't go there, she recognized Yan Chixia and knew that Yan Chixia was not easy to mess with.
He lingered for a moment and left.
She walked around a few times but found no one alive.
She returned to the vicinity of Lanruo Temple.
Zhou Qiang and the others ate and drank for a while, preparing to rest at Lanruo Temple.
"Xiahou, you two, when you rest at night, be sure to close the door and don't go out at will." Yan Chixia reminded. He did not let Zhou Qiang and the others leave Lanruo Temple. If Zhou Qiang and the others were allowed to leave at this time, it would be equivalent to letting them die.
"Oh? Brother Yan, are there any monsters around here?" Zhou Qiang asked pretending to be curious.
"To be honest, there is a tree demon and a group of female ghosts nearby. They come out to harm people at night."
"Are there really monsters? Then we should kill them." Zhou Qiang pretended to be a young knight.
"Demons and ghosts are not so easy to deal with. Even if you want to get rid of them, you should wait until dawn tomorrow." Yan Chixia didn't say much. He simply cleaned up and went to sit cross-legged and meditate. He planned to persuade a few people to leave during the day tomorrow.
Several people rested separately.
Zhou Qiang also sat cross-legged, meditated and continued his practice.
It didn't take long.
The piano sounded.
With Yan Chixia around, Nie Xiaoqian didn't dare come to seduce Zhou Qiang and the others. She played the piano nearby to lure Zhou Qiang and the others into taking the bait.
"Those monsters are out again." Yan Chixia looked helpless. He had fought several battles with the tree demon. No matter the outcome, he could not kill the tree demon. He didn't go out to find trouble with monsters.
The Xiahou swordsman next door also heard the sound of the piano.
Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly remembered Yan Chixia's reminder. He sat cross-legged again and continued to meditate.
Of course Zhou Qiang also heard the sound of the piano.
He opened the window and took a look.
He is already at the golden elixir realm and already has spiritual consciousness.
With a quick glance of consciousness.
In a nearby pavilion, Nie Xiaoqian was playing the piano.
He had seen Nie Xiaoqian's behavior during her lifetime and the ghost's behavior after her death.
He just watched without any intention of going out.
He didn't want to have anything to do with a ghost.
At this time, Ning Caichen opened the door and came out for some reason.
He wants to find the sound of the piano.
"Brother Ning, where are you going?" Zhou Qiang stopped Ning Caichen.
"Brother Zhou, I want to go over there and see who is playing the piano?" Ning Caichen seemed curious.
"Brother Ning, there are ruins in this wilderness, and there are mass graves over there. Did you forget that Brother Yan reminded you that there are monsters and monsters?"
"Ah? Brother Zhou, are you saying that the sound of the piano is caused by demons and ghosts?" Ning Caichen realized it only then.
"Otherwise? Brother Ning, how could you be so ignorant?"
"This..." Ning Caichen was speechless again. He also knew something was wrong, but he just wanted to go out and take a look for some reason.
"Brother Ning, go back to your house and rest quickly. We are together and we are not afraid of monsters and monsters coming over."
"Okay." Ning Caichen went back to the house. I just don't know why, he is a little lost, as if he has missed something.
field.
Nie Xiaoqian played the piano for a while, but no one was attracted, and she was a little afraid of being blamed by the tree demon.
She just didn't know how to deal with the tree demon.
The tree demon is here.
"Xiao Qian, haven't you caught anyone alive yet?" The tree demon said in a bad tone.
"Grandma, there are a few living people coming to Lanruo Temple, but with that big beard around, I... don't dare to go there."
"Hmph, that damn stinky Taoist priest, I must kill him." The tree demon cursed several times, "Xiaoqian, I'm going to lure that stinky Taoist priest away. You, Xiaoqing and the others, lure those people out."
"Yes, grandma."
...
A strong wind blew.
Yan Chixia's door was blown open.
He knew that the tree demon was out to kill again.
"Xiahou, the tree demon is harming people outside. I'm going to take a look. Don't go out here."
"Brother Yan, I'll go with you." Xiahou Swordsman said.
"Xiahou, you are here to protect those two scholars."
"That's fine."
Yan Chixia flew downstairs and chased the tree demon.
After a while.
Nie Xiaoqian, Xiaoqing, wait for the female ghost to come.
"Help, there are monsters outside."
"Monster? Come in and hide." Ning Caichen hurriedly opened the door to welcome Nie Xiaoqian and the others in.
"Wait!" Swordsman Xiahou stopped Ning Caichen. He was not a fool, he knew something was wrong with the sudden arrival of the women.
"Monsters? I think you are monsters, right?" Zhou Qiang didn't pretend to be stupid and directly revealed the identities of Nie Xiaoqian and other female ghosts.
