8. Chapter 8

Today's Ling Chusi is a hundred years ago, the Sui Dynasty has not died, and the war in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties has not yet begun, Ling Chusi can be described as bored. It just so happened that he suddenly thought of Daoxiang Village today, so Ling Chusi decided to go directly to Daoxiang Village.

After passing through that section of the mountain forest, Ling Chusi and Ji Xiaobai came out of the mountains and forests a few days later, and went directly north from Wuyang City along the river to Yi'an County.

Ling Chusi originally planned to take a boat from the dock near the sea in Yi'an County to Daoxiang Village, a small village located in the south of Yangzhou, but as for Ji Xiaobai, he always followed Ling Chusi's side honestly.

On the pier near the sea, boats and pedestrians come and go, which is quite lively.

In a nearby restaurant, Ling Chusi and Ji Xiaobai were sitting at the same table by the window, Ling Chusi played with the chopsticks in his hand, raised his head slightly and looked at Xiao Er, who was reporting the name of the dish, and selected a few seafood and vegetables from here with a smile, and then turned to Ji Xiaobai, and said casually while pouring tea casually: "What else do you eat, say it yourself?" ”

Ji Xiaobai blinked, and according to Ling Chusi's words, he also added two home-cooked dishes.

Because it is next to the wharf, there are all kinds of customers in this restaurant, from the merchant magnates who follow the ship, to the dart master who escorts the dart in a strong suit, and the scribe who wears a Confucian shirt and lupine scarf, and even the Yalang who pulls the line on the dock to introduce people to business, and the hard worker who sells coolies.

Waiting for the restaurant Xiaoer to serve the food, on the two tables in the center of the lobby, there was a chivalrous knight dressed in a strong costume and walking the rivers and lakes After drinking two taels of rice wine, he began to can't help but show off some interesting stories about the rivers and lakes that he has heard about these days.

"Do you know the most lively thing on the rivers and lakes today?" One of the Jianghu people deliberately hooked people's minds and said mysteriously.

The people who were following Ying He on the side hurriedly shook their heads when they saw this.

Ji Xiaobai, who knew a lot about the news channels of this kind of chaotic little people, quickly flashed a strange sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Ling Chusi didn't react at first, just took off his veil and sat quietly on the table by the window and lowered his head to drink tea.

As a result, after a moment's effort, I heard the person just now deliberately lower his voice and said mysteriously: "I heard that there is infighting in the Demon Gate, and the famous 'Evil King' Shi Zhixuan chased and killed the masters of the younger generation of the Demon Gate, but he was stopped by an old witch who had cultivated the evil sect exercises in their Demon Gate, and with Shi Zhixuan's kung fu, he couldn't get any benefits from the old witch's hands!" ”

"......" is indeed the master of the younger generation of the Demon Gate who was saved by luck Ji Xiaobai shook his hand holding the teacup, and almost accidentally crushed the teacup, and his handsome and extraordinary face also had a momentary stunned expression.

"Ahem......" Ling Chusi, who was slowly drinking tea, almost squirted out a sip of tea.

“Σ(°△°|||)?”

After all, for a Jianghu person at the level of almost no internal strength, almost a random gang, no matter how low he pressed his voice, he couldn't escape the eyes and ears of masters like Ling Chusi and Ji Xiaobai.

After a pause, Ling Chusi still saw Ji Xiaobai's indescribable expression, and then suddenly reacted, what the old witch who had cultivated the evil sect in that person's words was actually herself, with an unconscious effort in her hand, after directly pinching the teacup into pieces and getting a hand of water, if it weren't for her concentration, she would almost flip the table and blow up.

Ji Xiaobai shuddered on his body, and quickly took out the handkerchief on his body and handed it to Ling Chusi, letting her wipe the tea leaves on her hands.

As a result, before the water in Ling Chusi's hands was dry, a person next to him who regarded Cihang Jingzhai as a guideline, and was even more jealous and hateful, directly sneered: "Anyway, it's their demon sect fighting among themselves, and it's better for a dog to bite a dog." ”

Ling Chusi, who was so inexplicably beaten into the old witch of the Demon Gate, had a stunned expression, she slowed down for a while before she sat up straight, looking at the Jianghu man who was still talking about Shi Zhixuan, the young master of the Demon Gate who was being hunted down and killed, and the mysterious old witch with a look of disbelief.

"Predecessors, seniors, ......" Faced with this situation, Ji Xiaobai couldn't help but be nervous, and his voice became a little subtle.

"Where did the news come from?" Ling Chusi changed his teacup, poured a cup of herbal tea to suppress the shock, and then retracted his gaze and looked at Ji Xiaobai with a ghostly expression, "Shi Zhixuan seems to be quite famous, and it is not strange that the righteous path of the Demon Gate knows him, but you are a master of the younger generation of the Demon Gate, there shouldn't be so many people in the rivers and lakes who can recognize you, right?" ”

Ji Xiaobai nodded, and replied firmly: "It's the Demon Gate, if these news can be transmitted, it must be related to the Demon Gate." Except for the people in the Demon Gate, outsiders can't guess my identity. ”

After hesitating for a moment, although he didn't know why Ling Chusi obviously admitted that he was practicing the Flower Martial Arts, but he refused to admit that he was a member of the Demon Sect, Ji Xiaobai still added softly with some caution: "Senior, that day in the teahouse, you admitted that you practiced the Flower Mind Method...... There are many people in the teahouse, and after these news spread, everyone naturally believes that you are the predecessor of the Demon Gate......"

Ji Xiaobai was quite cautious in his words, although he clearly meant the same thing, but he didn't mention the word "old witch" at all.

Ling Chusi, whose mind was full of the words "old witch", didn't want to say anything, and after a long time, she finally squeezed out a sentence with difficulty, and asked: "Do you demon sects like to spread rumors so much?" ”

"......" Ji Xiaobai was suddenly speechless-

Senior, don't you really think you're also a member of the Demon Gate?

Looking at Ji Xiaobai's speechless expression, Ling Chusi blinked his eyes and withdrew his gaze, but in his heart, he couldn't help but add a new description to the Demon Gate: I don't have anything to say, and I like to spread rumors when there is nothing to do!

At this time, the second child of the restaurant began to serve the food with a tray.

Ling Chusi picked up the chopsticks and ate two bites of food, and avoided talking about the bad things like the "old witch" just now.

Ji Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and at the same time, he couldn't help but glance at the few people in the rivers and lakes who were still talking about it, didn't they notice that there was a person at his table who was dressed differently, but who matched his age and appearance? Especially in the rivers and lakes, it is not common for children of six or seven years old to look like people......

After tasting the food here, Ling Chusi called Xiao Er in the restaurant to settle the account neatly, and gave some extra silver, as a result, before the smiling Xiao Er finished the flattering beautiful words, Ling Chusi, who slowly and leisurely put on the veil again, stood up, had already reached out and picked up a tube of bamboo chopsticks placed on the table, and the palm of his hand was urging, and directly inserted the chopsticks into front of the chattering Jianghu people just now. The bamboo chopsticks are all deeply submerged into the tabletop.

The few Jianghu people at the table over there all turned pale.

There was silence in the restaurant for a moment.

Ling Chu didn't reply, and while walking outside the restaurant, he slowly left a sentence and said, "When you talk nonsense behind other people's backs, don't you see if they are sitting next to them?" ”

The voice fell, and the person was far away.

Everyone in the restaurant looked at the slender back of the little girl who was only six or seven years old, but they felt a cold breath spread from their fingertips to the bottom of their hearts.

Ji Xiaobai followed Ling Chusi's side step by step, only glanced back before going out, and found that those people looked so shocked that they couldn't say a word, and couldn't help laughing, now, the people in this teahouse can be regarded as really "living ghosts".

When the two arrived at the dock, when Ling Chusi was about to board the boat, seeing that Ji Xiaobai was still following him closely, Ling Chusi finally turned to look at him, and said in surprise: "Are you on the way with me?" ”

Ji Xiaobai was slightly stunned, and subconsciously avoided everyone, and then asked softly, "Where are the seniors going?" ”

"A small village I told you didn't know." Ling Chusi replied seriously.

Ling Chusi was telling the truth, after all, there were still more than a hundred years to go from the beautiful Daoxiang Village in her memory, and during this period, after experiencing the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the changes in those big cities were often visible, not to mention a small village that would not remain in history at all, to be honest, it was still unknown whether there was a Daoxiang Village at this time.

However, in Ji Xiaobai's ears, Ling Chusi's meaning was her whereabouts, and she didn't want to tell others.

Ji Xiaobai stood there, looking at Ling Chusi's dark and calm eyes, his heart trembled slightly, and he thought about it again and again, feeling that the other party should want to go on the road alone, and didn't want to follow him anymore.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaobai said in a low voice: "I wish you seniors, this trip is a good one." ”

When Ling Chusi heard this, he deliberately glanced at him, then nodded and said slightly: "Borrow your auspicious words." ”

After speaking, Ling Chu thought about it, took a bottle of top-grade hemostatic pill from the package that he basically didn't need, and threw it to Ji Xiaobai, and after seeing him catch it in a hurry, he smiled slightly and said, "When you are injured, you can eat one directly, the effect is very significant!" ”

After a pause, without waiting for Ji Xiaobai to say his words of gratitude, Ling Chusi had already turned around, just left a sentence lightly, and teased: "Anyway, don't do it this time, if you have the heart, you can go to the small building in the secluded forest to grab the handle of Shi Zhixuan." ”

Ji Xiaobai was suddenly dumbfounded.

Shi Zhixuan is not easy to mess with, Bi Xiuxin was in troubled times with her sister Fan Qinghui, and she drifted down the mountain from Cihang Jingzhai on the peak of the emperor, all of whom had the intention of visiting the true destiny of the Son of Heaven to choose the Lord on behalf of God, to return to the right for the world, and to help the society of the country.

The two most outstanding descendants of Cihang Jingzhai at the beginning were both cultivated Cihang Jingzhai's supreme heart method Cihang Sword Codex, and Bi Xiuxin was because she fell in love with Shi Zhixuan and gave birth to a daughter, and the martial arts realm was affected, but it was by no means easy......

On that day, he thought that his life was short, so he told Ling Chusi of Shi Zhixuan's only weakness, thinking that with Ling Chusi's skills, he might be able to find another way to contain Shi Zhixuan with Bi Xiuxin and Shi Qingxuan. If Ling Chusi wins, he will also be avenged.

However, if Ling Chusi was not there, relying only on Ji Xiaobai himself, he also had self-knowledge, at least, before his own martial arts stepped into the grandmaster level, he did not plan to face Shi Zhixuan, Bi Xiuxin and others again......

Ji Xiaobai, who was tragically abandoned, stood on the dock, watching Ling Chusi get on the boat without any nostalgia, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, with a slight look of loss on his clear and elegant face. He has been quite considerate of Ling Chusi these days, but when he was leaving, the other party was unmoved.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaobai looked down at the small medicine bottle in his hand, and suddenly realized that in the past few days of getting along, he didn't even know the other party's name and surname......

However, she is so ruthless, but she completely has the cold-hearted and cold-hearted characteristics of people in the demon gate......
