The autumn wind whistled by.
The streets of Jiangcheng were busy with people, and the once bustling lake in the city was empty. There was only a piece of green duckweed swaying with the waves, but it was also lifeless.
Suddenly, a small boat broke through the calmness of the water and came slowly.
A leisurely man wearing a black and white mysterious robe stood on the bow of the boat. The boat under his feet floated forward automatically without anyone rocking the oars.
It's a pity that there is no one on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and no one can see this scene.
Xia Zhichan looked at the green water ripples, his eyes were plain but like the lake, there were countless turbulent waves hidden. Only when the calm on the surface was forcibly broken, could you see all the things under the water.
The purpose of his boat ride was to find the lost wine gourd. Now that thousands of lives had happened in Jiangcheng, he couldn't live without the red wine gourd, let alone the support of the fairy wine in the wine gourd.
But he was in no hurry.
Just like a rich man who simply went out to have fun, he pushed the boat under his feet to float around aimlessly.
The dark clouds over Jiangcheng are very thick and will not dissipate for a while.
The red wine gourd was originally owned by Yan Chixia, and was later refined into a magic weapon by him, and followed generations of spiritual officials until now. If it weren't for the principles that Xia Zhichan insisted on at that time, he had I doubt it will leave easily.
The artifact has a spirit, and it will naturally understand the owner's intentions.
Now that it has left, it also deliberately left Xia Zhichan some time.
Without the fairy wine in the wine gourd, Xia Zhichan is just an ordinary person who knows a little more about monsters and monsters than ordinary people.
Since he has wavered in the path he upholds as a spiritual officer, it is better to simply let him lose the power of a spiritual officer and look at the problem from the perspective of an ordinary mortal.
The problem will not change, but when the perspective of looking at the problem changes, the answer to the question may change. What choice will Xia Zhichan make then?
Swish——
A white rainbow flashed across the sky, and Xia Zhichan raised her head for a rare moment. A crack was cut into the dark and silent clouds, and the originally blocked blue sky and warm sunshine shone down.
The sun fell on his body, and although it was warm, he still felt cold.
Not a physical cold, but a cold from within.
Monsters want to kill people, and people also want to kill people. If the monster kills people, kill the monsters. If people kill people, what should we do?
"Conquer demons and subjugate demons..."
The man murmured to himself. Now it seems that the words left by his ancestor are not as simple as they appear on the surface. There are countless sorrows and grievances behind them that cannot be explained to outsiders.
Woo——
The autumn wind passed through my ears, like the sound of someone's whimpering.
Xia Zhichan knew that he couldn't find the wine gourd yet, but he had to keep looking. Some things would only get good results if he persisted.
Uh-huh!
A white rainbow fell from the sky and landed just on the stern of the ship.
Xia Zhichan dusted off his sleeves and looked at the woman in white standing opposite him on the boat. He did not feel the other side's malice.
"Flying with a sword... this is the orthodox Taoist escape technique."
Although Xia Zhichan's cultivation level is low, his vision is very vicious. After all, the three thousand classics in the backyard of Cuilongshan Farmhouse are not for nothing.
"Taomen Jiang Qin."
The woman stood at the stern of the boat, the corners of her white robe being blown by the autumn wind and swaying constantly, like a dancing white butterfly.
"Lingguan...Xia Zhichan."
He stuttered the first time he said his name.
Jiang Qin took a step forward and was already in front of Xia Zhichan. She looked at the man in black and white mysterious robes in front of her and looked up and down carefully with the eyes of someone meeting his opponent.
This person doesn't seem to have even the basic level of cultivation. Why did Master deliberately write the word "Xia" to remind himself? Could it be that this person is a hidden master?
Uh-huh!
The invisible sword energy surged bit by bit, and layers of water ripples swayed along the side of the hull. The fish swimming leisurely underwater seemed to be frightened by something, and they swung their tails to escape from the water.
"Do you have to do it?"
Xia Zhichan touched his nose in embarrassment. He was really confused now. He couldn't figure out why a beautiful woman from a Taoist family suddenly came out and took action if she disagreed with her.
"Please enlighten me..."
Jiang Qin's white clothes flew into the air, and the small sword in her sleeve robe buzzed, and the sword energy filled her sleeve robe.
"well……"
Xia Zhichan sighed. He really didn't want to fight casually now. He was now a sieve that could only leak out but not in. The amount of Qi in his body would decrease if he used it a little. He really didn't want to waste it on unnecessary things. The place.
boom.
The sleeves of the robe were rolled up, and sword energy surged out from the sleeves.
Xia Zhichan tapped the bow of the boat with one foot and flew backwards. The boat under her feet was destroyed by the sudden strong sword energy and blew into the distance.
The boat was like a wooden top that children often play with. It was whipped hard and then spun rapidly into the distance.
Many wood chips were scraped off by the sharp sword energy and fell to the water, like boats the size of fingernails floating on the water.
"Drunken Sword Immortal——"
Of course Xia Zhichan didn't dare to neglect her. Even though she was a delicate woman, her cultivation level was much higher than hers, so she didn't dare to be careless and could only use her most powerful tricks as soon as she came up.
"Getting started...more than that, maybe going to the palace to cultivate!"
This is the opponent with the highest cultivation level that Xia Zhichan has ever encountered. Among the previous demons and ghosts, except for the old turtle and the dragon corpse who were deliberately arranged by Yan Chixia, absolutely none of them can compete with the woman in front of him in terms of cultivation level.
Just now, he just waved his sleeves and robe, and the majestic sword energy forced all the air in the surrounding area back, making people feel an inexplicable suffocation.
call--
Xia Zhichan mobilized all the energy in her body to activate the invisible sword energy, and then breathed out a breath of white air at the woman.
The white gas was elongated, and it didn't look like the shape of a sword. It could only be said that it was an improvement compared to the last time.
Jiang Qin's eyes narrowed, and she shook out the small sword that never left her body from her sleeve robe, and then with just a slight shake, the small sword turned into a three-foot long sword with cold light.
Just like Xia Zhichan understands Buddhism and Taoism, Jiang Qin naturally understands Lingguan.
The Jiu Sword Immortal is the famous trick of Yan Chixia, the founder of Lingguan. This trick is recorded in the notes written by Wu Yazi, the founder of Taoism.
It is recorded in the book that once this move is performed, it is like the Milky Way hanging upside down, with a white waterfall falling three thousand feet. It can change the color of the sun and the moon, and make all gods and demons tremble with fear.
The Jiu Sword Immortal spewed out of Xia Zhichan's mouth at this time was naturally not as good as Yan Chixia back then, but it should not be underestimated, after all, this was a legendary move.
The tip of the sword flickered, and a white bolt appeared in mid-air.
It was completely condensed from sword energy. Although it was a defensive move, it could cut through all attacks.
Sword cultivation is all about moving forward, whether there is life or death!
Bang.
The white air ball of Jiujianxian collided with the white horse in the air.
White and white collide.
There was no dazzling light, no earth-shattering sound as imagined, and no terrifying scene that made people marvel.
The moment the white air came into contact with the white pith, it was like a piece of soft tofu hitting the sharpest, most decisive blade of a sword.
Snap - In fact, there was not even such a sound. The Jiu Sword Immortal formed by condensing all of Xia Zhichan's true energy was wiped away by the white leather stripe like a stain.
Yes, nothing is left.
Um?
Jiang Qin couldn't believe the scene in front of her. She never thought it would be like this. She thought she would lose, and she would lose miserably; she also thought she might win, but it would probably be a miserable victory.
She didn't expect victory to come to her so suddenly.
"Something seems wrong..."
When she raised her eyebrows, Xia Zhichan, who was facing her, had gone somewhere. Could it be that she had run away? Running away without a fight is not a good person.
The jadeite on her waist flashed, and Xia Zhichan appeared behind the woman.
Fighting is not just a game of playing house, where you and I move back and forth, right? The duel is a battle of will and technical ability that puts all the skills and strength of two people on the line.
Xia Zhichan accurately judged two points from the previous fight: First, this woman's cultivation level is really high, and she has a solid foundation. She is also a swordsman. Second: The opponent's actual combat ability is very poor, it can even be said to be almost non-existent. If Xia Zhichan exchanged identities with the opponent, Jiang Qin would have fallen by now.
A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength.
This is a truth that ordinary people who travel in the world know, but the other party is like a fledgling fool who doesn't understand anything at all.
boom!
A strong elbow hit the woman directly from the air into the lake.
"Well……"
Xia Zhichan didn't expect that she could hit the opponent so smoothly. Even though the elbow hit was so cruel, it was actually a feint to test whether the opponent was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.
After all, it was just one fight, and Xia Zhichan didn't know Jiang Qin well enough.
With a flick of his sleeves, he found that the truly powerful cinnabar yellow talisman was firmly grasped in his hand, and then he saw bursts of silver lightning passing by.
The Thunder Technique has always been the most powerful of all Taoist techniques.
"Help - I can't swim!"
Xia Zhichan looked at the girl in white fluttering in the water. She had long lost the aggressive aura she had when they first met, and now she looked pitiful.
Are you pretending to be pitiful and deceiving me?
Xia Zhichan shook his head. He estimated that this girl had been practicing in a Taoist temple in the mountains for a long time and did not understand the sinister nature of the human heart.
Alas, forget it. After all, he is a member of the Taoist sect and has no deep hatred, so there is no need to make things like this.
Xia Zhichan touched the water surface lightly, then stretched out her hand to pull Jiang Qin up. The latter's originally white face was even bloodless from the cold, and the white Taoist robe was soaked and stuck directly to his body, showing off his exquisite body.
He took her to the small boat.
"Duoduo...thank you for your advice...next time...ah sneeze!"
"Okay... you still say polite words, you must be the toughest person in your body."
Xia Zhichan had no choice but to take off his black and white mysterious robe and put it on the woman.
The mysterious robe is a magic weapon, and the woman is no ordinary person. The majestic zhenqi hit her body for two weeks, all the cold air was driven out, and the white Taoist robe on her body was also dry.
Xia Zhichan stood at the stern of the boat with his back to her, while the woman squatted in the middle of the boat, still wearing the black and white mysterious robe.
For a moment, the two of them were speechless.
Xia Zhichan looked at the lake in the distance, thinking in her heart that she had knocked a girl into the lake. This was really shameless and even a bit embarrassing.
No one cares whether Jiang Qin's cultivation level is much higher than his. Only people care that Xia Zhichan beat a weak woman.
Alas, what is this?
He was worried when he suddenly felt a huge push coming from his back, and he fell off the boat with a somersault.
Before falling into the water, he vaguely seemed to see Jiang Qin's evil smile.
It's over. I hunt geese all year round, and today I got a peck from the geese.
"Let you bully me!"
"Help - I can't...Gululu...Gululu"
Xia Zhichan was much more straightforward than Jiang Qin. He didn't even say the whole thing when he fell in. He drank several sips of water and then disappeared into the bubbling lake.
"Xia Zhichan...Xia Zhichan? Xia Zhichan, don't scare me, I..."
Jiang Qin just wanted to make a joke. She never thought that Xia Zhichan was also a landlubber who couldn't swim. Now it's better. She fell into the water and Xia Zhichan saved her. Now Xia Zhichan fell into He fell into the water, but he couldn't save him.
"You...you...don't scare me, Xia Zhichan! Come up quickly! You..."
After shouting several times, there was no one on the lake.
The places where there were blisters just now are now gone, and the lake has returned to its usual calm state.
"Xia Zhichan——"
Jiang Qin was lying on the side of the boat. As soon as she shouted, a human head suddenly emerged from the water beside the boat, and then...
puff--
Xia Zhichan sprayed a mouthful of lake water, hitting Jiang Qin's newly blushing face, shocking her hard.
ah!
"Haha, do you still dare to tease me?"
