Chapter 34: The Robbers in the Ancient Temple

The weather is getting cooler, and the leaves of the trees are gradually turning yellow under the bleak autumn wind.

In the cloudless sky, the lazy sun exudes lukewarm sunlight, although it still appears on time every day, but the time it hangs in the sky is getting shorter and shorter.

It has been almost a month since Qiu Xiyan's house walked out, and seeing that it was about to enter September, Qi Xian still looked like he had no goal, walking aimlessly on the road in the wilderness.

"Sure enough, I still think highly of myself, where is it so easy to find trouble in the Chilling Cicada Sect?" Qi Xian laughed to himself.

Riding a white horse stolen from a wealthy merchant under him, holding a priceless silver wine jug in his hand, a sinister long sword pinned to his waist, a long shirt in green clothes, and a graceful demeanor, Qi Xian at this time is not exactly the appearance of a prodigal son in the rivers and lakes?

It's a pity that this face is really ordinary, otherwise, Qi Xian has been admired by many girls in the boudoir at this time.

In more than a month, Qi Xian traveled around three cities and stole ten wealthy merchants, but he couldn't find any trace of the Chilling Cicada Sect's actions.

Although if you are looking for trouble, you can naturally go to the strongholds of the Chilling Cicada Sect in major cities to kick the hall, but this kind of reckless behavior is naturally not something Qi Xian would do.

What's more, Qi Xian is not bored enough to go to those strongholds with masters to find death.

Therefore, he can only keep changing places and shifting targets.

Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Qi Xian smiled and shook his head, let's solve my night accommodation environment first.

It didn't take long for Qi Xian to find a dilapidated ancient temple.

Although the largest sect of the Heavenly Silkworm Empire is the Chilling Cicada Sect, it does not have a religion to believe in.

Therefore, the Golden Cicada Buddha Sect from the Western Fanzhu Empire is very popular with the people of the Silkworm Empire.

Although the upper echelons of the empire were once worried that the popularity of the Golden Cicada Buddha Sect would bring about the invasion of the Fanzhu Empire, in fact, although there were more than 10 million followers in the Heavenly Silkworm Empire so far, most of them were still ordinary civilians and had no impact on the empire.

And this temple, it is estimated that the people of the empire, who like the new and hate the old, abandoned it after building a more luxurious temple.

In the wilderness, the most important thing is food, so he caught two hares, cleaned them up and slowly roasted them on the fire, and Qi Xian led the horse to graze.

When Qi Xian came back, he held the hand of the long sword, and he couldn't help but want to pull out the things in the scabbard.

Someone actually ate the rabbit that Qi Xian had worked so hard to make!

A short and chubby middle-aged man, a man with a pockmarked face, and a tall man with a hooked nose, the three of them were surrounding Qi Xian's fire, munching on rabbit meat with relish!

Qi Xian wanted to swing his sword and kill the three of them, but after taking a closer look, he found that the three of them were all insect cultivators, and their cultivation was not lower than his own!

Qi Xian's mind turned around, and he knew that if he rushed forward like this, he would definitely die, so he could only hide in secret and slowly try to figure it out.

As soon as he bowed down, Qi Xian had already squeezed in through the hole in the wall, and in a flash, he had already hidden behind the central Buddha.

The "Light Smoke and Dust Butterfly Step" of Thousand Butterfly Valley seemed so magical at this time, and at a distance of less than two zhang away, Qi Xian walked over without the three of them noticing!

The big Buddha seems to be a rough and rotten artifact, with a big hole in the back, and its empty belly is wide open, as if welcoming Qi Xian's entry.

As soon as he turned over and hid in the belly of the Buddha, his eyes were on the Buddha statue behind a few small holes left by the erosion of time, Qi Xian stared at the three people tightly.

I only heard the middle-aged man say, "Business has become more and more difficult to do these years, and I have changed several places, but I am stunned that I have not made a business." ”

The tall man snorted coldly, "Li Chao, don't complain about the world, if you hadn't led more than a dozen people to kill a team of the Chilling Cicada Sect a few years ago, how could the Chilling Cicada Sect have become more and more vigilant in recent years?"

The middle-aged man clenched his fist and slapped it on the ground, and suddenly printed a palm print on the ground, and the dilapidated ancient temple trembled, constantly sprinkling dust and debris, but it did not touch the three of them at all.

"Gao Xiang, don't give me, do you dare to say that the strict defense of the Chilling Cicada Sect is not the reason why you stole the 500,000 taels?" the middle-aged man said.

The tall man took out a long whip, "Li Chao, let me see, what qualifications do you have to say such things to me!"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, they saw that the pockmarked man waved his hand and pressed the bodies of the two.

The faces of the two changed, but they both put away their murderous aura.

"The rabbit meat hasn't been eaten yet, why are you in such a hurry? Do you think we don't have enough dead?Or do you think it's too comfortable to live in the small broken temple?" Although the pock-faced man had a smile on his face, anyone could see the chill in his eyes.

Li Chao and Gao Xiang lowered their heads, they didn't dare to do more, and after a long time, they heard Li Chao say to the pock-faced man, "Boss Huo Dongkeng, why hasn't the person who burned this rabbit meat come back? If he doesn't appear, how can we open it?"

Huo Dongkeng said with a smile, "This ruined temple is open before and after, and you can see at a glance that there is no one here, it must be that kid who is not stupid, when he saw the three of us, he ran away directly." ”

Li Chao sighed and patted his head, "It's because I'm too anxious to let go of a big fat sheep for nothing!"

Qi Xian suddenly realized at this time, and thought to himself, "It turns out that these three insect cultivators are in the bandit industry, if we just rushed over directly, I think they would have been ready to split me a long time ago, right?"

Just thinking about it, Qi Xian suddenly heard it, and Gao Xiang said, "Someone is coming, a fat sheep!"

Before Gao Xiang's words fell, Qi Xian had already seen that at the gate of the ancient temple not far away, a man holding a horse slowly walked over with a long sword, and when he saw that there were already three people in the temple, he immediately sighed, turned around and wanted to leave.

The faces of the three of them suddenly showed a look of joy, and then they saw Huo Dongkeng, who was full of pockmarked faces, stood up and said to the man, "Does this little brother want to stay in this small temple? If so, there is no need to leave, this small temple is far beyond the range of my three brothers." ”

The man turned around and smiled, "Is this big guy serious?"

I saw that this man was dressed in a Confucian shirt, fifteen or sixteen years old, childish, as if he had just walked out of his home and wanted to go to study in the middle of nowhere, with a scholarly atmosphere.

Huo Dongkeng smiled secretly, thinking, "A little ghost like this is the easiest to clean up, you send it to the door yourself, don't blame me!"

So, when the man was invited into the temple, Huo Dong was in front of the man, while Li Chao and Gao Xiang took a few steps back at the same time, and faintly surrounded the man!

"I don't know this little brother's surname?" Huo Dongkeng asked.

The man saw that although Huo Dongkeng's face was full of pockmarks, he spoke with an extraordinary bearing, so he also smiled, "Junior brother Zhang Yinghao, a person from Nanling City, I don't know how many eldest brothers have a noble surname?"

Qi Xian sighed secretly at this time, "This kid really hasn't seen the world, people are just polite to you, so you can relax your vigilance, and you really explain it honestly." It's nothing to say your name directly, but what do you mean by 'Nanling City'? I think that Nanling City is the richest city in the empire, how can people not rob you when they hear this?"

Of course, Qi Xian didn't think that this Zhang Yinghao wanted to fish for the bait, which tempted them.

However, how could a man with a cultivation similar to Qi Xian, with no preparation in his hands, and a long sword on his shoulder, do such a thing?

Sure enough, as Qi Xian expected, Huo Dongkeng's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he said with a smile, "Brother Zhang doesn't know, my three brothers wanted to go out to do some business, but they didn't expect to lose a fine light." Brother Zhang is from Nanling City, naturally he is not short of money, I don't know, can I borrow some silver and let my three brothers return to their capital?"

Zhang Yinghao thought suspiciously, "How can anyone borrow money as soon as they meet?" I don't even know what your name is, how can I borrow money from you casually?"

Just thinking about it, Zhang Yinghao suddenly saw the three people around him, all walking towards him with a gloomy face, where did he still not understand what was going on?

"You, are you robbing?" Zhang Yinghao stood up and said tremblingly.

"This little guy isn't too stupid, he can see it so quickly?" Li Chao said with a smile and tapped his fist.

"It's all the fierce look on your face that scares him, otherwise how would he see it?" Gao Xiang drew his whip and sneered.

"Brother Zhang, our three brothers have always been able to do nothing without doing it, so if you borrow money quickly, we will naturally not entangle with you, but if you are not honest......"

Huo Dongkeng sneered and shook his hand, and a swarthy iron axe appeared in his hand, which was so angry that he couldn't help but tremble when he looked at Zhang Yinghao.

However, where does Zhang Yinghao have the money to come up?

There is no shortage of wealth in his family, but now he has gone to join the sect and cultivate the way of insect cultivation. But the person who took him as an apprentice said, "The pampered will not be accepted", and he only took a few taels of silver with him and went out.

Otherwise, how could he find such a small dilapidated temple to stay?

"Anyway, I don't have any money, and these robbers will definitely not spare my life, and I will fight with them!" Zhang Yinghao gritted his teeth, pulled out his long sword vigorously, and shouted, "Thief, suffer death!"

How could the three of them have thought that Zhang Yinghao, who was still trembling just now, would summon up his courage so quickly? Although he was prepared, he was still caught off guard, and he was suppressed for a while.

"This kid's swordsmanship is not bad, but it's a pity that his cultivation is like this, the vitality of those three people has not yet been released, but he has temporarily gained the upper hand, so what?" Qi Xian secretly thought, "When Master was alive, he often taught me not to condone villains to hurt others, now, how can I sit idly by?"

grabbed the Qingluo Xuanguang Sword and kicked the belly of the big Buddha with a slam kick, and Qi Xian rushed out like this!
