Just after a heavy rain, a sweltering June day, a large number of people came out and ran for life. The shopkeeper of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Rifle Inn is also entertaining guests diligently.

A scholar in damp clothes walked in with a student towel in high spirits.

"Guest officer, are you sharpening or staying in the hotel?" Ren shopkeeper greeted the shopkeeper to help the scholar prepare to tidy up the back basket.

"I was sent by Jibaozhai to collect the accounts," the scholar smiled and took out an account book from his body, and the shopkeeper who had just taken the basket suddenly pulled down his face, and threw the basket to the ground with a bang.

"Oh, how are the people you come here different," Ren shopkeeper this Rifle Inn, all the drinks used are provided by Jibao Zhai, and the accounts are checked once a year, and this scholar is here to get money.

The scholar smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, the person who came to collect the accounts last time was killed on the way back......"

The shopkeeper Ren looked gloomy, and said in a suffrage: "Oh, I think you will also be killed, it is better to get it cheaper, or don't accept it......"

"The shopkeeper's words are really unpleasant, this brother has come from afar, I don't know how many hardships and hardships he has gone through along the way, you don't bless it, but talk about burying it, it really shouldn't be." Zhang Xiaofan sorted out his clothes, brocade robe and feather coat, wearing a Taoist crown, and gold silk shoes on his feet, and the atmosphere of wealth was compelling.

When the shopkeeper saw that it was a distinguished guest of the inn, he smiled flatteringly, but he didn't dare to reply.

The scholar hugged his fists and saluted, thanked Zhang Xiaofan for his help, and said: "In Xia Ning Caichen, I don't know Brother Tai's surname?" ”

"Gong Chang Zhang, double name Xiaofan," Zhang Xiaofan was in his divine sense, and noticed that Ning Caichen was rushing left and right in the bazaar, so he came down to meet.

"Shopkeeper, can I take a look at your stubs, this is the new rule," Ning Caichen asked a little wryly as soon as he opened his account book, the ink on it had been melted by the rain.

The shopkeeper Ren was well-informed, and when he saw Ning Caichen's appearance, he felt suspicious, and grabbed Ning Caichen's account book, and as soon as he opened it, he immediately said angrily: "What kind of account is this, it's pitch black, messy, how to collect the accounts?" ”

"The account book was wet with rain," Ning Caichen didn't want to, but he said it in a low voice, you must know that the account collection needs to be reconciled, drawn, and signed, and one step must be missing, otherwise the Blessing Inn gave the money, but Jibao Zhai said that he did not receive it, and in the end there would be a dispute.

"Heh, you don't have my account in this account book, which means that I don't owe you any money, I don't owe you money, what are you going to collect?" Although the shopkeeper Ren has a distinguished guest recently, supporting the account, but he doesn't make too much money, at this time, he can rely on the past, and it is best that this scholar also dies in the middle of the road, and he has another year of wine money left.

Ning Caichen's bitter pleading, naturally, could not be answered, Zhang Xiaofan could only helpless, raised his feet and went out, and took his belongings to Lanruo Temple first.

Lanruo Temple is in the east of Guobei County, three and a half miles, in the last half a year or so, there is no one to go to spend the night on the incense, so all the way up the mountain grass and grass, branches and vines spread, even put a good road, cover only a sheep intestine trail. Looking at this situation, there will be no sheep intestine trail left in half a year.

"Good swordsmanship," Zhang Xiaofan just walked outside Lanruo Temple, and saw that Yan Chixia and Xiahou Jian were fighting inextricably, and the sword shadow was full of cold light.

Xiahou Jian's swordsmanship is wide open and closed, and every sword will force Yan Chixia to resist at first sight, sacrificing life and forgetting death, which is almost the same as the legendary Dugu Nine Swords. And although Yan Chixia was forced by Xiahou Jian to attack less and defend more, her swordsmanship was rigorous, and her skills were obviously higher than Xiahou Sword, so she could resist the past.

When the two fought for a stick of incense, they finally noticed that outsiders were watching, so they withdrew their swords and guarded the blade.

"I'm really embarrassed, I watched it on a whim and bothered the two of you," Zhang Xiaofan arched his hand, although these two people were a little worse than himself, but their character was okay to make friends, so they treated each other with a smile.

"In Xiahou Jian, I have seen Brother Tai." Xiahou Jian spoke in a foggy tone, and his tone was very heavy, and there seemed to be murderous aura hidden in his voice.

Yan Chixia has always had no good face, but she stretched out her hand not to hit the smiling person, and she also returned the salute: "Yan Chixia." ”

"In Xia Zhang Xiaofan, a Taoist priest in the mountains, passing by this Guobei County, I heard that there are demons here, and I came to surrender, but I didn't expect to meet two masters, it is the three lives who are lucky."

With Zhang Xiaofan here, Xiahou Jian had not yet compared with Yan Chixia, so he was naturally reluctant to leave, so the three of them came to Lanruo Temple and sat cross-legged. Zhang Xiaofan took out the prepared wine and food, and Xiahou Jian didn't care about it at all, so he took it and ate it. Yan Chixia was somewhat wary, but when she saw that Zhang Xiaofan and Xiahou Jian had both eaten, she had to take some wine and drink it slowly.

The three of them ate for a while and chatted, Xiahou Jian and Yan Chixia went south and north to experience many winds, frosts, snow and rain, and talked eloquently.

"What a martial idiot," Zhang Xiaofan praised Xiahou Jian, and made up his mind to save his life, seeing that the sky was getting dark, he took out the Qiankun mirror, and saw that there were more than ten black spots gathered in the north of him, knowing that these were so-called demons and monsters.

Without talking to the two, he turned around and came directly to a huge locust tree.

This locust tree is about ten zhang high, one zhang thick, there are many branches and branches, luxuriant and luxuriant, there are hundreds of graves next to the locust tree, the gloomy ghost aura surrounds below, take a breath, you feel the chest stuffy, cool and fluttering.

"I think this is the body of the tree demon grandma, and the body of Mu Ji in "New Chinese Ghost Story" is much more beautiful," Zhang Xiaofan thought of Mu Ji, but he didn't have pity for the tree demon, you must know that when he saw Mu Ji, Mu Ji had not completely fallen into the demon path, but the tree demon in front of him had already taken refuge in the old demon of the underworld and became a member of the demon road.

As the so-called good and evil are not separated, when you see this kind of demons and monsters, if you don't make a move, you will seem to be weird, and you will shout at the moment, and you will be a hundred feet tall, and you will become a fierce beast with arms and a giant ape. The gibbon giant ape can take day by day, month by month, although Zhang Xiaofan has only half of his strength, and he is a juvenile, but it is still more than wrong to deal with a thousand-year-old tree demon.

With a loud roar, I saw that the thousand-year-old locust tree spirit was uprooted, and the blood was sprayed directly several feet high.

"Spare your life!"

The locust tree spirit was uprooted, already dying, and still begging for mercy, I saw the giant ape open its mouth and bite the heart of the locust tree spirit, which is equivalent to the golden pill of the cultivator, and was directly swallowed by the giant ape into the abdomen, and as soon as the Xuan Gong turned, it was digested cleanly. In the blink of an eye, the locust tree spirit turned gray, and the dead could no longer die.

"The gods spare their lives......"

"My lord spares his life......"

A group of female ghost warblers and warblers Yanyan were all shocked at the moment, and they didn't care about the good or bad image, they trembled, and just knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

The giant ape roared twice, the locust tree spirit has been cultivating for thousands of years, his tree heart swallowed into his abdomen, and at least fifty years of mana added to himself, but these female ghosts are very average, one by one is thin and weak, like a firewood stick, if it is not good-looking, it is too troublesome to even look at it, but it is not a way to let it out and harm people, it is important to solve it together, thinking of this, Zhang Xiaofan plans to find a few ugly ones to get rid of first.

"Heaven and earth are infinite, Qiankun borrows the law, edict!"

As soon as the giant ape turned around, a sword light stabbed directly into the middle of his eyebrows.

"Brother Yan, stop," as soon as the giant ape spoke, his voice was like thunder, but it was not a human voice, and he touched a handful of sweat, and the giant ape's body quickly shrank and turned back to its original body.

"Brother Yan misunderstood," Zhang Xiaofan touched the corner of his mouth with a bloodstain, and said with a smile, but saw Yan Chixia and Xiahou Jian standing on their own with swords, their eyebrows and eyes were cautious, and they didn't dare to relax a little. hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

The mystery of the eight or nine Xuangong, just explaining it is not enough, in front of the two of them, several changes, which eliminates the suspicion of the two.

"Dao friendly skills," Yan Chixia accepted the fastest, but she was a little unwilling, this time she came to find Yan Chixia, I thought it was a swordsmanship, but I didn't expect to suffer a setback on Yan Chixia first, and then I met Zhang Xiaofan, a Taoist master, but I moved the idea of retiring to the rivers and lakes.

The three of them were chatting, but they weren't as happy as before.

At this moment, a person suddenly came from outside and asked, "Excuse me, is there anyone here?" ”

"It should be a little friend here," Zhang Xiaofan walked out with a smile, at this time it was completely dark, and it took Ning Caichen more than an hour to walk the three miles and a halfway, and the speed was too slow.

"It turned out that Brother Zhang was here," Ning Caichen saw an acquaintance, and the panic along the way was finally relieved.

"This is Brother Yan Chixia, and this is Brother Xiahou Jianxia, both of whom were famous swordsmen at that time," Zhang Xiaofan said in a voice.

Ning Caichen gave up to the two.

At this time, I saw a group of women walking into the temple with light lotus steps.

Yan Chixia's face was ugly at that time, but Ning Caichen and Xiahou Jian stared at each other with straight eyes.

"This is a group of little demons, following the previous thousand-year-old locust tree spirit, in this Lanruo Temple killed a lot of people, I will get rid of them first, let's talk about the past." Zhang Xiaofan laughed, with a hand, there were more than ten more talismans, and he was about to fight out, but was stopped by the two.

A group of female ghosts bowed their heads and begged for mercy, but Ning Caichen panicked: "This is just a group of poor women, why does Brother Zhang say that it is a group of female ghosts?" ”

Xiahou Jian had some eyesight, but he couldn't bear to see a group of weak-looking women killed in front of him, and he also opened his mouth to help this group of female ghosts beg for mercy at the moment.

Yan Chixia snorted coldly, these female ghosts usually help the tree demon to make monsters, and they are not shallow in harming people, all of them are riddled with karma, even if they are killed on the spot, there will not be a mistake.

"Okay, since Brother Xiahou and Brother Ning helped them beg for mercy, I can let them go once," Zhang Xiaofan immediately recited the mantra of the past and sent all these female ghosts to the path of reincarnation.

Without a female ghost, the four of them chatted and fell asleep in the middle of the night.

Taking advantage of the fact that the three of them were not paying attention, Zhang Xiaofan quietly came to the mass grave, and looked into the distance, but saw a pavilion with a woman in white caressing the qin.
