Chapter 13: The Swordsman

In the afternoon.

When Zhao Futu came out of the City God Temple, his face was already full of joy.

The exorcism spell he exchanged with the Zhudu Dust Daoist of the City God Temple was secondary, and the most important point was that he actually learned about Yan Chixia from the other party's mouth. This Yan Chixia is a spicy judge who is famous in the twenty-six provinces of Guangxi in eastern Kandong, but due to the inconvenience of ancient information, there are not many people who really know him and know him, and Zhao Futu has not obtained the information he wants after several inquiries.

But I didn't expect to get something useful from the Taoist priest of Duchen.

This Yan Chixia is not only a head catcher, but also a monk with profound Taoism, what he hates most in his life is corrupt officials and corrupt officials, strong martial arts, and has the title of 'the first sword in the world'!

His whereabouts are unpredictable, and he has always arrested Jiangyang thieves in the 26 provinces of Guangxi in the eastern part of the country.

Of course, this is only known to ordinary people, Zhao Futu also heard other things about Yan Chixia from the Taoist priest of Duchen, for example, he has been subduing demons and eliminating demons everywhere, and there are countless powerful ghosts and demons killed under the sword, whether it is swordsmanship or Taoism, he is the world's first-class master! How many people in this world have heard of his name, but no one knows what he looks like or where he appears!

However, this dust-crossing Taoist priest had seen Yan Chixia on his side, and he also told Zhao Futu in detail about his appearance.

Hearing that Zhao Futu intended to apprentice with Yan Chixia and learn swordsmanship, he was very supportive, and even told him about several places where Yan Chixia often haunted. and also talked about some of his habits, such as Yan Chixia's cold words to people. But with a cold face and a warm heart, he is actually a warm-hearted person, he has a chivalrous style, and often helps the poor and weak. Jealousy is like hatred!

In addition, this person is good at wine, good dog meat, one hundred and twenty miles away from here, there is a Yellow Town, and there is Xu Ji dog meat in that Yellow Town, which is a must within a radius of 100 miles, and Yan Chixia catches Jiangyang thieves every time. Or after slaying demons, they like to go there to drink wine and eat meat. Yan Chixia walked the world, slaying demons and eliminating demons, and her whereabouts were uncertain. He said that if Zhao Futu wanted to find Yan Chixia, he could wait there.

………………

Zhao Futu walked out of the City God Temple and went to a restaurant in the town.

In ancient times, the well-informed place was roughly here, and those merchants who traveled from south to north would pass through here, and it was also one of the few places in ancient times where a lot of news could be found. Zhao Futu still has silver in his hand. After rewarding the shopkeeper, I finally heard some useful information from his mouth. For example, that Yan Chixia is indeed a strong martial artist, and her whereabouts are uncertain.

But about Lanruo Temple, no one knows where it is!

Nalan Ruo Temple is already an abandoned temple, in such an ancient plane where information flow is slow. About an abandoned temple in a remote area, unless Zhao Futu happened to be nearby. Otherwise, it's hard to find out.

However, Zhao Futu heard the information that he couldn't get from the people of the Dusty Dao. and a rumor related to Yan Chixia.

That is, Yan Chixia seems to be dissatisfied with too many corrupt officials in the world, and she can't bring them to justice, so she resigned and returned to the field not long ago. However, this news has not yet been confirmed, and if this is really the case, then it will undoubtedly be more difficult for Zhao Futu to find him.

In addition, the news he inquired about was about those haunted and haunted monsters.

Not to mention, the second child in this shop knows a lot of things.

He stayed in the inn every day, and knew a lot of things from the mouths of those who passed by the merchants, and gradually accumulated, he actually knew a lot about the customs and grotesque stories of the Quartet. Zhao Futu learned from his mouth that there were three places, namely a ruined temple sixty miles away from here, an abandoned mansion outside the surname in Qingshui Town eighty miles away, and there were rumors that there were demons living on Chimang Mountain, etc.

Zhao Futu got the news he wanted, and immediately got up and set off, he brought a little dry food on the way, and then prepared a little yellow charm.

At this time.

The monk in the big red monk's robe had already left the place with the handsome young man named Xiaolong.

These two people were very conspicuous, Zhao Futu knew the direction of their departure after a little inquiry, he asked the passing travelers for directions, and then walked towards the Yan Chixia may appear in Huangzhen first.

The place where there are ghosts in the legend can be ignored for now, but finding Yan Chixia is a top priority!

"This should be the time when the main plot hasn't started yet, right? Yan Chixia was still the head catcher in the imperial court system, and later because she was dissatisfied with the darkness of the times and the unpredictability of people's hearts, she avoided coexisting with the thousand-year-old tree demon in Lanruo Temple. In other words, Nie Xiaoqian is still just a female ghost at this time, and she may not even be dead? Ning Caichen shouldn't have gone to Guobei Town to collect rent, right? ”

While hurrying, Zhao Futu collected as much useful information as possible: "Huh? Ning Caichen didn't pass through Lanruo Temple before, where was he? ”

"This plane is so big, the vast sea of people doesn't even know what they look like, it's too difficult to find them just by a name! Forget it, let's start with Yan Chixia first, I hope this guy hasn't resigned and gone into seclusion, otherwise it will be too difficult! ”

………………

In this way, Zhao Futu waited until no one was around, and finally arrived at Huangzhen at the time of rì fall.

Along the way, every time he passed through a town, he inquired about the news of ghosts, and he recorded the events of the spirits one by one. This information is all useful, if there is no way to find Yan Chixia to complete the main quest, then he plans to clean up the past one by one, and it can be regarded as a time to come to this plot plane in vain.

In the process of hurrying, Zhao Futu also stopped by to inquire about the ghost house, but found that it was only because of a homicide, and then it was abandoned as a dilapidated mansion. In ancient times, there was a lot of land, and the housing prices were almost outrageously low, and the real cost was mainly focused on construction, and you could buy a small house for ten taels of silver in the town. So the owner of this house was disgusted with bad luck, so he simply gave it up, and no one bought this house for a long time, it was overgrown with weeds, and over time it became a legendary ghost house.

"It seems that a lot of the things I heard are true or false, and I need to look at them myself." Zhao Futu said secretly in his heart.

The house was only deserted and dilapidated, and Zhao Futu didn't feel the yīn qi, let alone the yīn cold aura that was unique to ghosts and other things, so he went to see it and left. Many of these folk legends can't be taken seriously, and it is estimated that at most half of what I heard is true, so Zhao Futu didn't go to see it anymore later, so as not to waste time, but went directly to the place where Yan Chixia might appear.

In the evening.

Zhao Futu hurried all the way with light skills, and his speed approached nearly seventy yards, and finally reached Huangzhen before dark.

This is a town that is not too big, and the population density in ancient times was not high, and it was just one or two thousand households here, adding up to less than 10,000 people. The east of the town is the post station, the south is the market, the Xu Ji dog meat is next to the market, it is a small store, as soon as you get close, you smell a smell of meat, the aroma is fragrant, it actually attracts Zhao Futu's index finger!

There are four square tables in the dog meat shop, and there is only one customer, which looks a little empty.

The pedestrians around them hurried by, as if they were a little scared. Zhao Futu looked at it a little, and only then did he know that there was a strange swordsman in Xu Ji's dog meat shop today, he actually didn't allow others to sit there with him and eat meat, the swordsman had a bad temper, and several people had been injured by him today, so many people didn't dare to go in.

He sat there for a day, as if waiting for someone!

"Who? Could it be the contractor? Zhao Futu felt a little strange, but he still walked over cautiously.

As soon as he saw the tall swordsman sitting in Xu Ji's dog meat shop drinking and eating meat, Zhao Futu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It was a plot plane native, not a contractor.

Looking at this clue about Yan Chixia, no one else knows about it for the time being.

Zhao Futu stood at the door and hesitated slightly, but finally got up and walked into the Xu Ji dog meat shop, as soon as he entered, he was glared at by the tall middle-aged swordsman, that gaze was like lightning, and it actually stabbed his eyes slightly painful!

"That's amazing! What a sharp gaze! What an imposing sword! Zhao Futu just glanced at it, and he was shocked in his heart!

Who is this person?

You can make yourself feel like a sword just by looking at it!?

Yin?

No, it shouldn't be Yan Chixia.

Yan Chixia is the kind of person who is cold-faced and hot-hearted, and it is impossible to do things to drive out other people and hurt others.

Could it be him?!

………………

As soon as Zhao Futu entered the Xu Ji dog meat shop, the old man who had been waiting carefully in the shop walked over quickly.

"Guest! It's inconvenient for the small shop today, I think you're changing it and coming again, right? Why don't you buy something good and eat it back? The old man stopped Zhao Futu, who wanted to enter the door, and kept giving him a glance while talking to him.

Today, the middle-aged swordsman injured several people here, and in order to prevent any more injuries, he could only drive the guests out.

"No need! He's qualified to sit here and drink with me! Zhao Futu hadn't spoken yet, but the middle-aged swordsman spoke first.

The middle-aged swordsman was tall, burly and powerful, but with a hooked nose, cold eyes, and a strong murderous aura on his body, which was a momentum that would only brew after killing many people, and his aura on his body was biased towards yīn cold, and he didn't look like a person who was easy to get along with.

His fingers were full of calluses, his sharp gaze swept over Zhao Futu, and the sword on his waist, and suddenly threw the wine jug to Zhao Futu, and said slowly: "Please drink!" ”

Zhao Futu took the wine jug, and immediately felt that it contained a real force, and his luck was dissolved, and then he drank it all on his back, drank all the old wine, and said in a deep voice: "Good wine!" ”

At this time, seeing that Zhao Futu drank it all, the cold air on the cold swordsman was also a little less.

There was a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and he said, "Good amount of wine!" ”
