Just the day before he was about to leave Guobei County and rush to the capital to take up his post, Li Xiao went to Lanruo Temple again and met Yan Chixia.

After the death of the tree demon grandmother, after the Lanruo Temple cleared the demonic atmosphere, many people came to pray and pray, and for a while, the Lanruo Temple was also incense, and the believers who came to visit were also endless.

Yan Chixia has always lived in Lanruo Temple, and he was originally regarded as an ominous existence. But now, Lanruo Temple is flourishing again, and Yan Chixia, who lives here, is equivalent to a layman of a temple presiding, and he naturally has to take care of the extra affairs in this Lanruo Temple.

Compared with the previous casual and leisurely life, he now receives believers who come to burn incense every day, but for these devout believers, Yan Chixia does not take a penny, just puts a merit box in the main hall and asks them to donate voluntarily.

Seeing Yan Chixia again, the other party was still with big copper bell eyes, an iron face and a beard, and he looked like an upright and old-fashioned man, but his eyes at this time were a little less profligate, and he turned to show a trace of exhaustion.

Li Xiao and Yan Chixia walked side by side on the path next to Lanruo Temple, and the two talked while walking.

"How is it, Yan Daxia, the current Lan Ruo can be said to be a temple with strong incense and constant believers, your life must be a lot more moisturized." Li Xiao turned his head and said jokingly to Yan Chixia.

"Hey, Master Li is really joking. Ten years ago, Yan was dismissed from the court and came to the deserted Lanruo Temple because he had no intention of being a head catcher, so to speak, for a clean and comfortable life that would not be disturbed.

But now that the tree demon has been eliminated, the number of believers in Lanruo Temple has also increased sharply, which has made me very busy, hehe. Yan Chixia shook her head and said with some tears and laughter.

He has been living in Lanruo Temple for ten years, because of the relationship between the tree demon and grandma, the people who came to Lanruo Temple are either missing or violent corpses in the wilderness, and the murderous name here has spread, and it is regarded as a dangerous ancient temple in the eyes of people, and even the merchants passing by here have deliberately avoided it, which shows that the fierce reputation of this Lanruo Temple is prosperous.

However, now that the tree demon grandma is dead, the sneaky demons around him have also been cleansed, so now this Lanruo Temple has restored the glorious scene of the ancient temples, and the believers who came here have broken the purity and tranquility here, and also made his originally leisurely seclusion life, suddenly become a lot busier.

In the dead of night, tossing and turning, he even misses the very pure life he used to have.

……

……

At this time, Li Xiao's eyes couldn't help but flicker, and he said with a slight smile: "Isn't this very good, reciting the Buddha and passing on the scriptures, this is a matter of immeasurable merit." ”

Yan Chixia shrugged her shoulders a little disapprovingly, and said indifferently: "Reciting the Buddha and passing on the scriptures, these should be the things that those high-ranking monks and monks do, I can't stand so many rules and precepts." Besides, I am just an old man who wants to be indifferent to fame and fortune, drink and dance swords in my spare time, and be able to spend this life comfortably and leisurely, then I am very content. ”

With Yan Chixia's superb spells and swordsmanship, he can catch ghosts and subdue demons, gather money in the name of profound and sophisticated Taoism, and can also use powerful swordsmanship as a stepping stone to return to his career and become an official and become a knight, if Yan Chixia wants to, in fact, these are not problems, but he would rather live in seclusion in this temple, which shows that Yan Chixia is indeed very yearning for this kind of life.

There are many people who pursue fame and fortune, but there are also many sages who are willing to be ordinary and live in seclusion in the mountains. In ancient times, maybe in the inconspicuous deep mountains and old forests, there were sages who had been in high positions, living in the world, each with their own feelings, but their own pursuits were different.

"Maybe sometimes, if you are tired of the secluded life, go to the high court to take a walk, not only to be able to live in seclusion leisurely, but also to be able to laugh at the court, but also a happy life." Li Xiao pursed his lips, as if he had a deep meaning.

Yan Chixia paused, turned around to look at Li Xiao, put away her grinning face, and said solemnly: "Lord Li doesn't want to pull me when he is soaring, right?" ”

Yan Chixia's mind is also very smart, Li Xiao's words are just a beginning, but Yan Chixia is clear in her heart, without waiting for Li Xiao to speak, she took the next sentence, as if she had expected it a long time ago.

Everyone who came to Lanruo Temple to worship the Buddha had it, and many words of conversation inadvertently fell into Yan Chixia's ears, so Yan Chixia was able to understand a lot of things that happened in Guobei County and even the surrounding boundaries without leaving home.

……

……

Li Xiao's expression was slightly stunned at first, but then he nodded unabashedly and said: "I can't talk about carrying it, but this time I entered Beijing, I hope that Yan Daxia can go out of the mountain and help me." ”

Yan Chixia's expression couldn't help but sink slightly, and she waved her hand and said: "Thank you Lord Li for your kind invitation, but Yan has already seen through the red dust now, and has no intention of being a ~ official, I'm afraid that we are going to say goodbye." ”

Sure enough, Yan Chixia still had no intention of being an official.

Although Yan Chixia is a little helpless about her busy life now, she has lived in Lanruo Temple for more than ten years, and she has always had feelings for such a long time. In addition, in the years of being a head catcher in the court, he witnessed the actions of some corrupt officials and corrupt officials, although he hated these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but he could not change this status quo, which was a great shock to his heart, and over time, he felt deep despair for such a court, otherwise, he would not be disheartened, unload the guan~ clothes, and come to this Lanruo Temple to live in seclusion,

Li Xiao didn't feel strange at Yan Chixia's polite refusal, if he could persuade Yan Chixia with a few casual words, it would be incredible, but he didn't care about this, and continued to speak: "Yan Daxia, don't be in a hurry to refuse. This time I entered Beijing, the purpose of the next is not just for my own splendid future, but I hope to take this opportunity to go to the capital, eradicate the demons in the palace, the traitors and thieves, trace back to the source, and reorganize the dynasty, so that it can also benefit the world's common people! ”

When Yan Chixia heard this, her expression couldn't help but be stunned, and she suddenly felt in her heart, for Li Xiao's words, Yan Chixia still believed it, if she didn't have such a state of mind, then Li Xiao would not be young, even if she had the strong strength of the middle stage of the grandmaster, she couldn't cultivate to such a high level of Taoism, so Yan Chixia also thought deeply of Li Xiao's words.

But even so, Yan Chixia still shook her head with a wry smile, and said a little pessimistically: "It's rare that Lord Li has such a grand will, I have to say that Lord Li's wish is naturally excellent, but I have been in the court for more than ten years, so I know deeply that the darkness in the court, such a situation, is not something that the two of us can change, if I am in this Lanruo Temple, I can still be idle." ”

"A spark can start a prairie fire, and if you don't try it, how can you know? If it is said that the imperial court and the country are destroyed, then this county seat, or this Lanruo Temple, can it become a place for Yan Daxia to live in. After a pause, Li Xiao did not give up, and continued: "Moreover, as far as I know, the reason why the court is so filthy is also because there is a big demon who covers the sky with one hand. ”

After thinking about it, Li Xiao still informed Yan Chixia of the identity of Pudu Cihang and informed the stakes. That big demon Pudu Cihang is not easy to deal with, and he has the identity of a national teacher as a token, so it is still very difficult for Li Xiao to shake the other party with his own strength, but if he can have Yan Chixia's advanced Dao skills to help, when the time comes, he must be able to grasp it more, which is also beyond doubt.

"What, what you're saying is true?" Yan Chixia was originally reluctant, so she selectively ignored Li Xiao's previous words, but when the words came in the second half of the paragraph, it was like a thunderous sound in the flat ground, and Yan Chixia couldn't help but tremble!

If Li Xiao told the same words to others, others would definitely disagree

But Yan Chixia, who has a high and profound Taoist technique, has a deep understanding of this, this world can be described as a world full of ghosts and ghosts, and sneaky and evil are rampant, although they are all dormant in the mountains and forests or in the market, but there is a certain demon against the sky, who can be in a high position and stir up the wind and clouds, which is not impossible, and looking at Li Xiao's solemn expression, it does not look like he is deceiving people.

"Really, today's national teacher Pudu Cihang is a big demon, although he appears to be a Buddhist monk, a noble appearance of Pudu people, but in fact he is a centipede demon, his mana is monstrous, blinding the saint, for the sake of the court, at this time I am afraid that he is still plotting the luck of the entire dynasty, and trying to use the fortune of the dynasty as a blessing, incarnated into a dragon, with the demon god turning the dragon into an evil dragon, if he really succeeds, then I am afraid that not only the court, the entire human race is going to be a huge threat, who can

Staying out of the way? Li Xiao looked at Yan Chixia's expression, his heart moved, and he hurriedly said.

"Pudu Cihang?"

At this time, Yan Chixia couldn't help but gasp, if there are many corrupt officials in the court, then the whole country can at least continue to operate, but if it is really occupied by such a vicious demon, then maybe the entire human race will encounter a huge crisis, and the seriousness of such an incident cannot be ignored, this is already a matter of the survival of the entire human race.

Yan Chixia couldn't help but fall into silence, his brows were tightly knit, and his eyes were deep, as if he was making some kind of extremely difficult decision. Even Yan Chixia, when making such a big decision, the whole person is extremely cautious.

After a long time passed, Yan Chixia raised her head, seeing that he was no longer hesitant, she had already made a decision, and couldn't help but sigh slightly: "I didn't expect that Yan Mou has been living in seclusion in Lanruo Temple for more than ten years, but he is going to go out of the mountain again, but if it is really as Master Li said, then Yan Mou will naturally not stand idly by." However, the ugliness is said to be ahead, if you can't be a demon ** minister in the Qing Dynasty in a year's time, then Yan will definitely return to his hometown and no longer ask about the world. ”

I have to say that this Yan Chixia has always been well aware of righteousness, and he faintly feels in his heart that Li Xiao has the ability to eradicate demons and eliminate the filth in the Qing Dynasty. From the time when dealing with the dryad grandma, you can see the first clues.

After seeing Yan Chixia think for a long time and finally agree, Li Xiao's heart was also happy, and he immediately nodded and agreed: "That's natural." ”

In other words, if we can't kill Napudu Cihang as soon as possible and clean up the filth, I am afraid that the world will suffer a great calamity in less than a year.

After thinking of this, the hearts of the two of them also felt more urgent, and this trip to the capital is bound to be a long way to go.

……

Li Xiao rushed to the capital, accompanied not only by Yan Chixia and Wu San, but also by Chen Zhutou in the county government.

Speaking of which, this Chen Zhutou is also a loyal and righteous man, and after hearing Li Xiao's goal of going to the capital, he himself volunteered.

Chen Zhutou's martial arts realm is in the middle of the congenital stage, he is an unborn master, coupled with the Hongjia Iron Wire Fist and the fast slashing knife method he taught, with such a high strength, he is already a majority of martial artists who can crush this plane, so, after a slight hesitation, Li Xiao also decided to let Chen Zhutou go to the capital together, one more person is also a lot of strength.

On the day Li Xiao left Guobei County, tens of thousands of people went out of the city to see each other off, and they did not hesitate to trek ten miles to the long pavilion, and their eyes showed a strong reluctance.

And not long after Li Xiaohe, Yan Chixia and others left, a scholar named Ning Caichen came here to collect the accounts, but it rained heavily, causing the account book he stored in the blanket to be wet, so he was not able to complete the errand, so he had to consider himself unlucky, and after staying overnight in Lanruo Temple, he had to return to his hometown in a huff.
