Jin Ruo looked at Xiao Zhuo and saw that his mood was gradually stabilizing, so he slowly sat down and continued to absorb Yuan Dan. It's not that she's hard-hearted, it's just that she understands that it's useless, and Xiao Zhuo also understands this, so she restrained her impulse. What's more, now that the time has passed, how could the old cat be willing to fall short after planning for so long, in case the old cat comes back again, she and Xiao Zhuo will not be able to protect themselves, and what can they talk about saving people. This kind of worry is not that she is unfounded, after all, it has been almost an hour since the defeat of the old cat, and the old cat returned to Yingbo Town before them, if the old cat really used the way of devouring the spirit to supplement the cultivation, then now, the old cat is either rushing towards the waterhole to intercept them, or is on the way to Yan's house.

Buzz! A slight tremor sounded, Xiao Zhuo hurriedly picked up the ancient sword and stood up, "Be careful!" There is evil! After speaking, he looked back at Jin Ruo, but saw that Jin Ruo had just been staring at the ancient sword in his hand.

"Xiao Zhuo, where did you get this sword?" Jin Ruo looked at Xiao Zhuo's ancient sword, and couldn't help but feel a little overjoyed in his heart. When Xiao Zhuo rescued her outside the town, due to the urgency of the situation, she didn't notice that the ancient sword was still trembling before it was unsheathed, so she always thought it was an ordinary magic sword. Now that I see that this sword can perceive demonic things on its own, it means that this sword itself already has an independent spiritual sense. It takes a hundred years for a living thing to have a spirit, and the spirit of a dead thing is either that the master is unusual, the master is enlightened, and the sword is also a spirit; Either it has been killed for a long time and cultivated a sword heart with blood. The former follows the spirit and moves when it encounters the demon; The latter, no matter how spirit demons, cannot be easily touched.

"This was lent to me by a Taoist chief when I was in Chang'an City." Xiao Zhuo was on full alert, for fear that in this night, a wild cat would suddenly pop out of a corner.

"Dao Chief?" Jin Ruo wanted to ask the reason, but Xiao Zhuo had been nervous, so he had to comfort him first: "Don't be so nervous, even if there is an enemy coming, the old cat may not be here, you tell me the origin of this ancient sword first, maybe we have a way to deal with the old cat." Hearing Jin Ruo say this, Xiao Zhuo reluctantly relaxed and slowly told her about his experience in Chang'an City.

It turned out that after Xiao Zhuo and Yan Zhang arrived in the capital, out of filial piety, they still lived at home for three days, and the next day coincided with the fifth day of the new year, according to the old customs of Chang'an City, many people would go to the Taoist temple to pray for incense, Xiao's mother was not at home for many days, so she insisted on pulling him to ask for a peace charm, Xiao Zhuo was not good to disobey his mother's wishes, so he had to follow. Who knew that Xiao Mu shook the lot, and when she went to untie the lot, the chief of the unsignatory said that Xiao Zhuo would suffer a catastrophe within ten days.

If this kind of thing was put in the past, Xiao Zhuo would generally disdain it, but since he experienced that night outside Chang'an City, he had to be in awe of this kind of thing, but he saw that the Taoist Chief was only about thirty years old, and he was afraid that this Taoist Chief was just talking about it.

"Dare to ask the Taoist, do you know what kind of calamity I will encounter?" Xiao Zhuo took a step forward and hugged his mother, who was a little excited.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Xiao Gongzi, the catastrophe you will encounter is really a catastrophe of life and death. And you didn't have this calamity in your fate, only because of the strange thing you encountered half a month ago, which caused the mission to change, so this calamity is definitely not something that can be resolved by manpower. As soon as the Daoist finished speaking, Xiao Zhuo's heart was suddenly shocked, and he was about to step forward to ask for advice, but as soon as he made a move, Xiao's mother hurriedly stepped forward and begged: "Dao Chang Kuanren!" Please also ask the Taoist to save my family's Zhuo'er! ”

I saw that the chief of the Daoist hurriedly stretched out his hand to pick up Xiao's mother, and said: "Mrs. Xiao, this is serious, the Xiao family is benevolent, and Madame is even more kind to me. After speaking, he turned to Xiao Zhuo and said, "Young Master Xiao, this place is not a place to talk, please follow me to the apse to talk." ”

Xiao's mother was concerned about her son's blessings and misfortunes, and was about to follow, but was stopped by the chief of the sign, "Mrs. Xiao, don't worry. Ling Lang's matter, Poor Dao will definitely try his best to help, and please rest here for a while. ”

Xiao Zhuo came to the apse with the Taoist Chief, and only saw the Taoist Master take out an ancient sword from a wide sword box and hand it to Xiao Zhuo, "Xiao Gongzi, this sword is my Taoist spiritual weapon, if you encounter a spirit, you will follow it, and if you encounter a demon, you will move." Today I will lend it to you, you need to remember, within ten days, this sword can not leave the body, when it is dangerous, the son can use blood to stimulate the spiritual power of this sword, but this method can be used up to three times, after three times, do not use it again, remember it! ”

"Thank you for your help, dare to ask the surname of Changgao, Xiao Zhuo will definitely repay him in the future!" After Xiao Zhuo finished speaking, he bowed deeply, only to hear the chief of the Taoist sign and said: "Xiao Gongzi, although the relationship between you and me starts today, it does not end today. The surname of the poor Taoist family is Yuan, and the double name is Tiangang, if you can get rid of this catastrophe, you and I will have a goodbye day. Inevitably, Ling Tang is uneasy outside, you and I better go out first! Xiao Zhuo bowed down and thanked him again, and after Yuan Tiangang walked out of the apse and comforted Xiao's mother repeatedly, Xiao's mother agreed to return.

And during Xiao Zhuo's nine-day journey back to Yan's house, although there were not many night roads, there were also many times when he missed the night, and the shadows were full of shadows, and the ancient sword often trembled. Whenever he encountered such a scene, Xiao Zhuo never looked back, let alone looked left and right, and rode forward until the ancient sword calmed down, and then dared to stop and rest. And the time when the tremor is the most powerful is when tonight is in battle with the old cat.

"I see." Jin Ruo listened to Xiao Zhuo's eloquent words, and he understood the beginning and the end, this ancient sword was really a spirit sword! But her eyes were already looking around. A pair of faint points of light have emerged on the wall, moving left and right, drifting up and down, looking extremely mad in the night. Behind the points of light, there are wild cats, large and small, no less than thirty or forty. However, among these cats, there is no old cat, and even the black cat that was injured before did not appear here.

"Jin Ruo, the old cat should have gone to the waterhole to find us, but now there are so many cats, let......'s do it" Xiao Zhuo also saw the current situation, but once he started, it would inevitably alarm the Yan family. But as soon as he said halfway, Jin Ruo had already pulled out the ancient sword in his hand, only to see a bright light flash, the ancient sword suddenly flew out, Jin Ruo obviously did not hold it with his hand, but the ancient sword was extremely obedient floating in front of Jin Ruo, and the blue light bloomed, even more gorgeous than when he held it.

"When you meet a spirit, you follow, and when you meet a demon, you move?" Xiao Zhuogang just remembered what Yuan Tiangang had told him, but he saw that Gu Jian had quickly left Jin Ruo's side, and slashed over with a sword against a flying flower cat. The cat didn't even have time to bark, its body had been split, Jinruo's gesture changed, and the ancient sword flew back on its own, and the cats didn't dare to move forward again when they saw this scene.

Time passed slowly, the two and the cats were in a stalemate, Jin Ruo didn't want to waste his strength on these cats, and the cats were too jealous of the ancient sword in Jin Ruo's hand. Until a low cat meow sounded, the cats on the wall quickly gave way to a position, and the old cat, which had not been seen for a long time, finally appeared. However, after looking at the scene in the courtyard and the ancient sword standing in front of Jin Ruo, the old cat did not make any move after all, and called softly, and beckoned the cats to retreat.

Indeed, as Jin Ruo expected, after the old cat made a little addition, he immediately returned to the waterhole to intercept the two, and at the same time, just in case, let the black cat stay, as long as the time passed, he woke up all the cats and rushed to Yan's house to cut off Jinruo's back road, but he didn't expect Jinruo to just remove the cat poison in his body and leave the waterhole. One wrong step, one wrong step, until it saw the ancient sword protecting Jin Ruo in front of him, it had to admit that Xiao Zhuo, who was originally the most unlikely variable in the entire plan, became the biggest variable in the whole thing! Things have to be considered in the long run.
