Luo Xing was startled. He looked down and realized that the rabbit leg in his hand was not taken by Bai Ze or dropped to the ground, but by the man who had been lying in the corner of the ruined temple. The figure was snatched away!
At this moment, the gentleman in the big cloak was holding a rabbit leg and chewing on it. The messy hair on his forehead half blocked his appearance, but no matter how you looked at it, he looked like a sloppy man.
"This..." Luo Xing was shocked and looked at Zuo Hong at a loss.
The weirdo in this ruined temple somehow took away the rabbit leg from Luo Xing's hand, and even squatted by the bonfire in a dignified manner, holding the rabbit leg and gnawing on it. None of these gentlemen noticed what the gentleman did!
"What a ghost." Zuo Hong muttered in his heart, "Could it be that there are so many gods in the temple that I met two martial arts masters one after another overnight?!"
Not only Zuo Hong and the others were startled, but Bai Ze was also frightened by that sloppy figure. He saw the gentleman's movements, but before he could react, the rabbit leg in Luo Xing's hand had been taken away by the weirdo.
"It's delicious, it's delicious!" Mr. Sloppy wolfed it down and punched his chest twice, as if he was choking. He glanced at the gourd on Bai Ze's waist and was about to pull it off.
Bai Ze was shocked and turned pale. He didn't care about the cries for help outside the door and quickly stopped him. But he was still a step too slow, and the man grabbed the wine gourd with his hands, unscrewed the cork, and poured the wine down his throat.
As soon as the wine gourd was opened, the rich aroma of wine spread out. When two of the rangers smelled the aroma of wine, their faces turned red and they fell to the ground drunkenly, snoring!
Zuo Hong felt dizzy and frightened. He drew his sword and shouted sternly: "What kind of incense is this!? You thief, how did our brothers treat you? Why are you so malicious!?"
As soon as Zuo Hong said these words, the remaining people also pinched their thighs to regain their energy. They each drew their swords and stared at Bai Ze and the sloppy gentleman warily.
At this moment, the man in the big cloak raised his head, revealing a weathered face. Bai Ze had no time to be shocked by the identity of the sloppy man, and hurriedly said: "Hold on, knights! This is the smell of wine, and they are just drunk! I'm waiting for you! Even a martial arts master can't beat a cup of this wine. I didn't want to take it out just now because of this consideration."
Zuo Hong and others were shocked and confused.
"Good wine, good wine!" The sloppy gentleman laughed loudly. He was so excited by the strong wine that he trembled all over. He took another big sip and then threw the gourd to Bai Ze.
"Chen, Chen!..." Bai Ze was dumbfounded. He never thought that he would bump into the most popular young man in the Jixia Academy, Mr. Chen Shouren, in this ruined temple!
Bai Ze was glad in his heart that he was not traveling with Song Zhiwen. Otherwise, if these two people collide, they are not allowed to chop on the spot!
At this moment, the door of the ruined temple was suddenly knocked open, and the biting cold wind, wrapped in heavy snow, rushed straight into the temple. The cold breath blew away half of the hazy drunkenness of Zuo Hong and others. Everyone hung their necks and walked to the temple shivering. Looking towards the door.
I saw a young woman stumbling into the ruined temple, her clothes were messy, one of her shoes was missing, her face was covered with tears and frost, she was trembling and begging to everyone: "Please, all knights, save my little daughter, father and brother." !”
Bai Ze hadn't recovered from the shock. He only took a quick look and felt something was not right.
When the men saw the girl's stockings rolled up, exposing a section of her white calf, their expressions became a little unnatural and they started to dodge.
Luo Xing's face turned even redder, and he didn't know whether it was because he was drunk or because he was blushing shyly under the firelight.
In the silence, Zuo Hong coughed and said, "Girl, get up and speak quickly. You said you could save your father and brother, but what trouble did they suffer?"
"That's right, it's cold outside, come and warm yourself up by the fire..." Luo Xing stuttered a little and hurried to help the woman.
The woman was choked with tears and was speechless for a long time. Luo Xing helped her to the bonfire. Everyone gave in. Only Chen Shouren squatted by the bonfire. Still unfinished, he broke off a rabbit leg and gnawed it.
Luo Xing helped the girl get closer to the bonfire, and Bai Ze finally discovered where the something amiss came from. At this time, Luo Xing rubbed his hands, raised his neck, and said: "It's too cold! Quickly close the door, serve this girl a bowl of hot porridge, warm her body, and let her speak slowly! "
"Okay, okay." Some people were busy closing the door, while others were hurriedly serving porridge.
"Thank you... thank you." The woman held the wooden bowl and was able to speak. She looked anxious and said hurriedly: "Fellow knights, please save my father and brother!"
"Speak slowly, girl." Zuo Hong asked, "What happened to the girl's father and brother?"
"Tiger, there is a tiger!" the woman said in horror, trembling all over. "The tiger bit the little girl's father and brother and dragged it into the cave! Maybe it wants to use my father and brother to feed its children... Please, heroes Sir, please save my father and brother!"
"How unreasonable!" A big man heard this and said angrily: "This evil tiger really deserves to die. How dare he kill the girl's father and brother! Brothers, it's just an evil tiger. Let's go kill that evil tiger now. It's cold. You can make several robes by peeling its skin!"
"Let's go, let's kill that beast that hurt people!" A group of rangers were drunk and yelled one after another.
"That's right!" Luo Xing said angrily, "Don't worry, girl. Although our brothers are not martial arts masters at the level, we can't even get close to him with three or five others! It's more than enough to kill an evil tiger. "
"Thank you all for your benefactors, thank you for your benefactors!" The woman was overjoyed when she heard this and kowtowed: "This little girl has nothing to repay..."
Luo Xing quickly helped the woman up and said, "Girl, you don't have to be like this, she's just a hero. Anyone else would have made the same decision!"
"It's so cold, so cold, why is it so cold..." After Luo Xing helped the woman, he rubbed his hands again and got close to the fire to roast them.
"Dare I ask, girl, how could you and your father and brother encounter a tiger here in such a deserted wilderness?" Bai Ze asked abruptly, leaving the woman stunned for a moment. Then Zuo Hong also reacted and looked at the woman suspiciously. .
"Young hero, you are too serious." A man said dissatisfiedly, "The monks all say that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda! This girl's father and brother were dragged into the lair by the evil tiger. If we don't hurry up, I'm afraid we will die. That's too late!"
When several rangers who were originally hesitant heard this, they looked at the pitiful appearance of the woman and agreed one after another.
"Master, if you don't want to help me, this little lady has nothing to say." The woman sobbed, "Originally, this little lady has nothing to repay the knights... But if the young master wants to say that this little lady has harmful intentions, , that would really be an injustice to me..."
The woman said this in a very wronged way, which made people feel sad. The gang of gangsters suddenly felt their protectiveness soaring, and they didn't care about anything else. They all looked at Bai Ze angrily, and one of them loudly said: "Girl, please leave him alone! You lead the way, and we will kill the evil tiger ourselves." That’s it!”
"I'm afraid you are destined to go but not to come back." At this moment, Chen Shouren finally finished chewing the second rabbit leg and threw the bone into the fire, causing sparks to fly.
"What do you mean?" a big man with a knife asked.
Chen Shouren snorted coldly and remained silent.
Bai Ze spoke at the right moment, stretched out his hand and said, "Look, everyone, is there any shadow of her?"
Everyone looked in the direction of Bai Ze's finger. This sight frightened the rangers! I saw that under the bonfire, the woman had her back to the firelight, and there was no shadow at all! ?
"Female ghost!?" Zuo Hong and Luo Xing's drunkenness immediately dissipated.
The woman's identity was exposed, and her face immediately changed. Her face became twisted and ferocious. She stared angrily at Bai Ze and the sloppy man squatting by the campfire, and roared: "Damn you! Just one more, only one more, I You can regain your freedom! Why, why do you have to do this!?"
The woman's body was surrounded by gusts of sinister wind, and the rangers fled one after another, being very frightened. The bonfire flickered, and the ghosts fiercely attacked Bai Ze and the two of them. The movement was so loud that it almost demolished the ruined temple!
Chen Shouren glanced at the only statue of King Ming in the ruined temple and confirmed that there were no traces of gods or Buddhas in the temple. Then he slowly said: "A man from the Confucian sect, I hereby apologize."
After that, the sloppy gentleman glanced at the ghost figure and spoke the truth, saying: "Kneel down."
"boom!!"
Follow your words.
When the woman heard Chen Shouren's words "kneel down", she suddenly knelt down on her knees and smashed two holes into the floor tiles of the ruined temple. The ghost's body was almost transparent due to those two crisp words, and it was about to collapse and disappear. Between heaven and earth!
"Sir, spare your life!" The female ghost was horrified and hurriedly begged for mercy.
"You're a ghost, you've acted as an aide, and you've killed so many passers-by." Chen Shouren said, "How can I spare my life?"
After that, the sloppy man picked up a fire stick from the bonfire, put it between the demon's eyebrows, and burned the evil demon into ashes.
Such a method made the rangers tremble with fear. They threw away their swords and knelt down and said: "Sir, you are really a god! Forgive us rough people who are blind and unable to see the mountains. Thank you, sir, for saving your life!"
"I'm not a god." Chen Shouren said, throwing the fire stick into the fire again. "I just read some sages' books, and I have a bit of awe-inspiring and evil spirits in my body. I can't look directly at them. You don't have to kneel to me, get up." "
"Sir, you are being humble." Hearing this, Zuo Hong and others hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said with cupped hands, "If it hadn't been for your help, I'm afraid we, the foolish men, would have died in this wilderness."
After a pause, everyone thanked Bai Ze again.
"I'm afraid it's too early to say thank you now." Bai Ze said with a smile.
"What?" Zuo Hong was shocked and hurriedly asked questions.
"That female ghost is a ghost ghost." Bai Ze explained, "It is said that evil tigers eat people. The souls of those who are eaten cannot be reincarnated after death. They are restrained by the evil tiger and can only listen to the evil tiger's orders and kill people for the evil tiger. Deceive yourself into the tiger's den and provide food and offerings for the evil tiger. This is the origin of working for the tiger."
"So that's it." Luo Xing suddenly realized and murmured: "That woman is also a pitiful person..."
Zuo Hong slapped Luo Xing on the forehead and said viciously: "Did you get carried away by beauty?! Didn't you listen to what sir said? That was a provocateur who killed countless people!"
Luo Xing shut up angrily.
Bai Ze said: "Brother Luo, it's better to sit next to Mr. Lu for a while. You helped the ghost twice, and your body is stained with a little ghost energy. Mr. Luo has the aura of a scholar, which can wash away evil spirits."
After hearing this, everyone took two steps back without leaving a trace, staying away from Luo Xing.
"Sir, save me!" Luo Xing almost cried, cautiously approaching the sloppy scholar.
Chen Shouren was noncommittal and ignored Luo Xing.
