Time flies like an arrow, time flies by. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed.

Dead.

In the middle of a gloomy, silent grove.

"God forbid, don't let any wild wolves appear! God forbid ......"

A down-and-out scholar carrying a dilapidated bamboo box on his back, carrying a broken lantern, kept muttering as he walked cautiously through the dark woods.

However, Heaven apparently did not have time to bless him!

"Whew......"

Suddenly, a loud wolf howl came to the ears of the down-and-out scholar.

"Yes...... There are wild wolves! ”

Suddenly, the down-and-out scholar was taken aback, and couldn't help but speed up his pace, and ran forward briskly by the faint light reflected by the lantern.

"Rustling ......"

Suddenly, around the grove, there was a rustling sound of grass blades rubbing.

"Whew......"

Immediately, behind the down-and-out scholar, three big wolves with eyes flashing with a faint green light suddenly burst out of the grass and chased after the down-and-out scholar.

Listening to the howl of the wolf that was getting closer and closer behind him, the down-and-out scholar didn't dare to look back at all, lowered his head, and continued to run forward desperately, hoping to escape from the wolf mouths of these big wolves.

However, as he ran faster and faster, the light on the dilapidated lantern in his hand became more and more dim.

"Don't extinguish it! Don't extinguish it! If you go out, I'm really dead......"

Looking at the lantern in his hand, the light was getting dimmer and dimmer, and the down-and-out scholar suddenly became anxious and began to pray incessantly.

After all, in this grove where he couldn't see his fingers, the lantern in his hand was his only light, and if he didn't even have this last glimmer of light, it would really be a black eye, and he could only sit and wait for death.

Unfortunately, the lantern apparently couldn't hear his supplication!

As the light in the lantern became dimmer and dimmer, in the end, the light on the lantern was directly extinguished.

"Oh my god!"

Suddenly, the down-and-out scholar was in front of him, and he directly threw the lantern in his hand and flew out, and immediately, he ran for his life in a panic.

"Oops!"

However, without the lantern lighting, he had not taken a few steps before he was tripped by a tree protruding from his feet, and he directly pounced on a dog to gnaw mud.

"Whew......"

Behind the down-and-out scholar, the three big wolves were getting closer and closer, and when they saw it, they were about to pounce on the down-and-out scholar who fell to the ground.

However, an amazing scene happened!

For some reason, those big wolves suddenly stopped, and trembled less than three feet away from the down-and-out scholar.

They seem to be afraid of something!

Even when they saw that their prey was right in front of them, they didn't dare to take another step.

"What is this?"

The down-and-out scholar finally got up from the ground, and when he looked up, he saw a huge stone tablet standing in front of him.

This is a stone monument about one meter high and square in shape.

Obviously, this stele is also some years old!

Because it has been left untended for many years, it has been covered with emerald green moss and vines.

Through the faint light reflected by the moon, the down-and-out scholar could still faintly see that there were three big characters engraved on the stone stele.

"[Lanruo Temple]!"

Suddenly, as the down-and-out scholar silently recited these three big words, the big wolves who were still in place suddenly seemed to be frightened by something, "whoosh", clamped their tails one after another, and fled in all directions.

"Thank goodness! God forbid! ”

Looking at the big wolves who fled with their tails between their tails behind him, the down-and-out scholar couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, leaned limply on the edge of the stone tablet, and gasped for breath.

This down-and-out scholar is named Ning Caichen!

Ben is a scholar who has read the books of sages, but he has no talents, and he has repeatedly fallen into the first place, and he is disheartened.

Forced to make a living, in desperation, he had to do the chores of collecting accounts for others!

However, a heavy rain made his ledger blurry and his accounts were completely destroyed.

Without the account book, the boss refused to admit the account, could not receive the account, and he had no money on him, and he didn't even have the money to find a place to stay.

In the end, he had to listen to a kind boss and prepare to spend the night at this ancient temple located in the mountains, which led to the scene just now.

Looking at the dilapidated and overgrown ancient temple in front of me, it looks extremely eerie and terrifying.

Ning Caichen couldn't help gritting his teeth, cheered up his spirit, took a step, and walked towards the ancient temple.

"Excuse me, is there anyone?"

While walking towards the ancient temple, Ning Caichen also shouted loudly towards the ancient temple.

However, he shouted for most of the day, but never heard the slightest response.

"Bell! Clang! Clang! Bell ......"

Just when Ning Caichen thought that there was no one else in this ancient temple except himself, but he didn't want to, from the ancient temple, a fierce symphony of gold and stone suddenly sounded.

"Drink ......"

Suddenly, with a loud shout, two figures suddenly leaped out of the ancient temple.

"Bell! Clang! Clang! Bell ......"

Although the two figures were still flying in mid-air, they were still waving the long swords in their hands, colliding with each other, and wisps of dazzling sparks.

The owners of the two figures were a rugged man with a big beard and a stout man with a burly body.

These two people are obviously masters of using swords, swordsmanship is like a god, you come and go, the moves are concise, but they are sharp, there is no big opening and closing, but the moves are close to each other's vital points, the sword intent is vertical and horizontal, and they do not give in to each other.

However, in the end, it was still the bearded rugged man who had to be more skilled.

"Drink!"

He keenly caught a flaw in the sturdy man's sword moves, and at the same time that the sturdy man stabbed at him with a sword, the long sword slashed deftly towards the sturdy man's arm.

As if he wanted to cut off the whole arm of the sturdy man.

"Bell!"

Suddenly, the sturdy man's eyes froze, and he immediately turned from attack to defense, and at the last moment, he used his sword to block the rugged man's sword.

However, even so, his arm was slashed by the opponent's blade.

Although he was unable to cut off his entire arm, it left a deep blood mark on it.

"Brother Xiahou, you have fought with me for seven years and lost for seven years, I think it's time for you to admit defeat!"

The two fell to the ground at the same time, and the bearded man held his sword in one hand, pointed at the strong man, and said lightly.

"Yan Chixia, I can't imagine that you have only been in this broken temple for half a month, and you have sharpened your sword even more!"

As soon as Xiahou Hao's feet landed, he also pointed the tip of his sword at Yan Chixia and confronted him.

"Nope! It's not that my sword has gotten sharper! ”

However, Yan Chixia was even vetoed.

"It's just that you yourself are blinded by your own ambition, for the sake of the false name of the world's number one swordsman, the edge is too exposed, the murderous spirit is too heavy, and the move is fast and not allowed!"

"If so, I am you! I'll find a secluded place to live in seclusion and cultivate my mind as soon as possible! ”

Immediately, Yan Chixia said in a cold voice again.

"Otherwise, if you continue like this, you will inevitably go mad and become a walking corpse!"

"You...... You ......"

After hearing this, Xiahou Hao was angry for a while, and suddenly scolded.

"Yan Chixia, I'm here to compete with you, but I'm not here to listen to you, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

After finishing speaking, the sword in Xiahou Hao's hand couldn't help but stretch forward a little, and he wanted to do it again.

"Wait...... Wait a minute! Two heroes, slow down! ”

However, at this time, Ning Caichen, who had been sandwiched between the two, finally couldn't help but speak.

Ning Caichen, he is also quite unlucky!

Originally, he was just attracted by the sound of the two fighting.

But he didn't think that he had just approached when the two strange people suddenly fell to his side.

What's even worse is that both of them even pointed the tip of their swords at him.

Suddenly, he didn't even dare to move.

However, at this time, seeing that the two of them still wanted to continue to do it, he finally couldn't help it.

"Two heroes, what can you say to sit down and talk slowly! No, you can say yes! Why do you have to use knives and guns like this, and move your heart and mind! ”

Looking at the tip of the sword on the left and right, both about to reach the door of his head, Ning Caichen swallowed his saliva with difficulty and spoke.

"In this world, what is needed most is love, only true love can dissolve everything, only true love is eternal, let us work together to make this world full of love ......"

"Humph!"

Suddenly, Xiahou Hao suddenly snorted coldly, but as soon as his hand turned over, he withdrew the sword in his hand.

"You're even more verbose than him, and you don't bother to pay attention to you!"

Being made such a fuss by Ning Caichen, Xiahou Hao was no longer in the mood to continue the competition.

In addition, he is now even more injured.

Although the wound on the arm was not large, it was bleeding profusely.

Even if he could use his true qi to seal the acupuncture points on his body and let the blood flow stop, if he continued to compete like this, he would only fall behind!

"Whew!"

Suddenly, Xiahou Hao jumped up, but he carried a light skill, and in a few ups and downs, he had already flown out of the ancient temple.

"Scholar, what are you doing here?"

Seeing Xiahou Hao's gradually departing figure, Yan Chixia did not stop it, but also put away her sword, looked at Ning Caichen on the side, stared at Ning Caichen and asked.

"Little ...... Little ......"

Being forced to look at by such a rugged man as Yan Chixia, Ning Caichen suddenly couldn't help swallowing his saliva, beat a drum in his heart, and after taking a few steps back, he replied nervously.

"Xiaosheng passed by your temple and planned to spend the night here tonight, I don't know if it's convenient?"

"Inconvenient!"

Yan Chixia didn't even think about it, so she decisively refused.

"It's not safe here, you'd better get out of here quickly!"

"No...... Insecurity? ”

Ning Caichen was stunned, and asked nervously.

"Could it be that there are tigers here?"

"There are no tigers here!"

Yan Chixia glanced at Ning Caichen, and after a pause, she said in a very eerie tone.

"There's something more terrifying than a tiger, though!"

"Something scarier than a tiger?"

After hearing this, Ning Caichen was slightly stunned.

Although he was uncomfortable being stared at by Yan Chixia's tiger eyes, Ning Caichen still asked nervously.

"That'...... What the hell is that? How can it be more terrifying than a tiger? ”

In Ning Caichen's cognition, the tiger is already a much more terrifying thing than the big wolf!

What could be more terrifying than a tiger?
