Hungry and thirsty, Xiaoxing sleeps overnight.

These conventional ways of rushing are no longer suitable for today's Li Zhi and Qin Huaiyu, but unfortunately, the war horses they ride on are just ordinary products.

Even when he set off from Luoyang City, Li Zhi had already made careful arrangements, and the preparation of one person and two horses still couldn't meet the non-stop rush.

"Ninth Prince, are you a little too sensitive? We can't be in such a hurry, can we? ”

Looking at Li Zhi's eagerness, Qin Huaiyu was very puzzled.

The two have known each other for several years, and Qin Huaiyu has never seen Li Zhi so anxious, just for a feeling that he can't explain and can't explain?

"Anyway, Hengzhu won't be able to catch up with Chang'an City today, let's find a place to rest for the night first, and by the way, let the war horse have a good rest."

Calm down and think about it, Li Zhi couldn't help but laugh at his "overreaction", looking at the tired and panting war horse under his crotch, the sun was about to set in the col.

Seeing that Li Zhi actually agreed, Qin Huaiyu was even more helpless.

He had reminded Li Zhi before, but unfortunately His Royal Highness the King of Jin didn't listen to him at all, and now he has already missed the night, and it seems that he has to sleep in the wilderness again.

This place has entered the Weinan boundary, and it is only two or three hundred miles away from Chang'an City.

It's not impossible to force yourself to rush overnight, but when you arrive in Chang'an City, the dignified His Royal Highness the King of Jin, do you still have to cross the city and enter it?

What's more, Wei Zhengman brought fifty guards with him, and he had a hundred horsemen, and they who set off three days early were probably already back in Chang'an City.

"Ninth Prince, there seems to be a temple in the mountains and forests over there, let's go over and have a look-"

Li Zhiyun is full of "breaking the delusional golden pupil", and sure enough, there is a dense forest about five miles on the right, and there is a faint wind chime in the depths of the dense forest, and there must be a temple hidden in it.

The two dismounted and led the four horses into the woods, and the more they went, the more difficult it became.

Seeing that the distance was not far away, he simply tied the four war horses in the forest, and in the spring season, you can also eat two mouthfuls of leaves or tender grass anywhere.

Li Zhi and Qin Huaiyu picked up the bags and food they carried with them, and walked inside.

There was not much time, and I really came to a temple.

It's a pity that the scene in front of them made the two a little disappointed, it was a temple that was not fake, but it was a dilapidated small temple.

I don't know how many years the plaque at the door is, but it is already dark, but the moon is hidden in the clouds, and I can't really see what words are on the plaque.

One of the temple doors has been broken, and the other is half-hidden, and when I look in, I see that in the middle of the hall, there is actually someone lighting a bonfire?

"Nine Princes, shall we? ……”

Unexpectedly, there were already people here, and Qin Huaiyu was still a little hesitant.

"Haha, how can there be so much attention when you go out, Brother Huaiyu is too worried."

Li Zhi naturally understood what Qin Huaiyu meant, but the artist was bold, what kind of skills did the two of them have, why did they care about these?

Walking into the courtyard of the ruined temple, it was really a little dilapidated.

There are many holes in the courtyard walls around it, and the courtyard is also overgrown with weeds, leaving only a passage in the middle that has been trampled out by countless people, reminding people that incense was once flourishing here.

"Is there anyone in the temple? Li Jiu, who was in a hurry, and his companions missed the night, so they came here for one night, and hoped that the brother who came first would allow him——"

Li Zhi had already sensed that there was someone in the temple, and judging from the breath of that person, he was still a rare master.

Now the master is so worthless, can you meet it anytime and anywhere?

Out of courtesy, Li Zhi still asked loudly in the courtyard.

"Everyone is out of the house, what is the first to come? However, there will be some uneasiness here tonight, if you don't want to get into trouble, little brother, please take a step higher and get out of here-"

A loud voice came, and it really deserved to be a practitioner, full of energy, and the meaning of persuasion was revealed between the lines, this was Li Zhi, who didn't want to let Pingshui meet, go in and wade into troubled waters.

"Haha, under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, Haiyan River is clear, and not far ahead is the Gyeonggi Heavy Land of Chang'an, will you still encounter strongmen and robbers? Xiaosheng doesn't believe in this evil. ”

As he spoke, Li Zhi's footsteps did not stop, and he had already come to the central hall.

It is said that it is the central hall, in fact, it is only the size of three or four rooms at most, and there are supporting halls on the left and right sides of the courtyard originally, but now you can only see the broken walls.

Even this central hall has collapsed in half, leaving only one and a half near the northeast corner, which can barely shelter from the wind and rain.

"Xiaosheng Li Jiu, I've seen Brother Tai-"

Li Zhiyan has become a scholar, polite, humble and polite, but he is a literati with a little more heroic spirit.

Close to the corner of the east wall, there was a thick layer of weeds on the ground, and there was a person on the weeds who was pretending to sleep, curled up with his face facing in, unable to see his head clearly, but there was a strong smell of wine.

Sure enough, there were two wine jars next to the man's feet, and even on the bonfire beside him, there was a roe deer that was half-cooked.

From time to time, the grease on the roe deer dripped on the bonfire, and the flames were raised, although there was no superfluous ingredients, but it also made the hall full of meat smell on all sides.

"Since you're a bold, let's stay and sit casually."

Hearing that Li Zhi had entered the main hall, the man didn't even turn around, but just twitched twice keenly with his exposed ears.

"Haha, Brother Tai is so free and easy, he actually drinks wine and barbecues in this monk's temple, aren't you afraid that the Buddha of the West Heaven will blame?"

Li Zhi looked like he was familiar with it, brought a broken stone from the corner of the wall, placed it in front of the campfire, and even turned over the roe deer on the shelf for the man.

"The Buddha of the Western Heavens? I've heard people mention it, but I've never seen it. However, a certain family was born in Confucianism, and practiced swordsmanship for a few days, and just got a copy of the 'Diamond Sutra', but he hasn't had time to understand it yet. ”

The man listened to Li Zhi's words interestingly, and sat up with a bone.

is a big man, even if he sits on the ground, he is not much shorter than Li Zhi, and he has a bun on his head, but he has a bit of a Taoist feeling.

Wearing a set of black clothes of ordinary Jianghu people, with a large number of needles and hairs under his chin, this beard is like a fierce flying in the world.

Looking closely at this person's face, between his eyebrows and eyes, he can see a little bit of the elegance of the year, no wonder Fang Cai said that he was born in Confucianism, and it seems that he was once a white-faced scholar.

Looking at his back again, he actually carried a wide sword box on his back, which was a foot wide and narrow, and he was not sure how many swords were contained in it.

Li Zhi unconsciously used the "Broken Golden Pupil" again, and found that this person was indeed a human being, not by other species, and the realm had actually entered the early stage of Jindan.

However, looking at the aura emanating from his body, it seems that he is a sword cultivator?

Li Zhi didn't know much about sword cultivation, but it was occasionally mentioned in the "Cangming Jue", and the person in front of him was the first person he met.

While Li Zhi was looking at the man, the man was also looking at them.

That person also seemed to have cultivated the supernatural powers of his eyes, and I saw that the red light in his pupils flickered a few times, sweeping around Li Zhi and Qin Huaiyu's bodies.

Qin Huaiyu is very simple, and he can see at a glance that he is already in the realm of "Martial Dao Tongshen", and he has just succeeded in building a foundation.

And Li Zhi, no matter how you look at it in that person's eyes, is just a "heavenly leaky body", even if you can judge from the burly degree of the body, you can judge that you have had the experience of forging the body, I am afraid that it is only in the acquired realm.

"The meat has been roasted, Xiaosheng's companion also brought some flatbread, sauce meat, and the wine 'Tuguo Spring' brought from Xingyang, Henan, why don't I wait and drink it together?"

In later generations, for professional reasons, Li Zhi was not a lover of wine, who had ever wanted to come to this Tang Dynasty, but became interested in the things in this cup.

"Haha, the little brother has said so, can a certain family still refuse? It's better to meet by chance, although there will be some trouble tonight, as long as the two of you stay in this broken temple, I believe it won't hurt you in the slightest. ”

The man took out three large bowls like a trick, and first filled three bowls of wine in his jar, which was actually the "Sanle Pulp" sold in the West Market of Chang'an City?

"Sanle pulp", as the name suggests, is made from the fruits of three kinds of plants, Ummoller, Pilile and Helile, with a rich and exotic liquor, which is ambiguous to luscious, intoxicating to drink, and dissipates the gas.

In the realm of these people, there is no need for ordinary food to satisfy their hunger, but this kind of pleasure of eating meat and drinking wine in a big bowl always makes people linger and have endless aftertaste.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect the little brother to be a polite scholar and be able to drink so much? It seems that the wine here tonight may not be enough for us to drink to our heart's content. ”

Qin Huaiyu kept in mind his duty as a guard, although Li Zhi's strength was far above Qin Huaiyu at this time, he didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all, and after taking two sips shallowly, he never touched the wine bowl again.

So, basically Li Zhi was one-on-one with that person, and the wine was dry.

"Being able to meet strangers in this wilderness, wine and barbecue, and drink to the moon is already a joy in life, so why should Brother Tai care too much?"

At this time, the moon had already emerged from the clouds, hanging high in the sky, and even the ruined temple was bargained, and it was as bright as day.

After drinking a few bowls of wine in a row, Li Zhi almost did not resist, and completely relied on his body to digest the strength of the wine, but he was not as confused as before?

It seems that today's body is not a little stronger than when he just left Chang'an.

"Little brother, you really have a set, this 'Sanle Pulp' of a certain family is not an ordinary 'Sanle Pulp', which has added the secret medicine of my master, which has the effect of consolidating the foundation and strengthening the internal force."

"It's a pity that the strength is very strong, and it is good for ordinary people to drink three bowls, but the little brother has drunk four bowls in a row, and he still can't grow angry, and his face is not pale, he is really a genius."

Seeing that Li Zhi drank his "medicinal wine" in such a good state, the man not only did not feel sorry for his wine, but felt a little sorry for Li Zhi.

is such a practice wizard, but why is it just a "heavenly leaky body"?

"Haha, my brother is overrated, what kind of genius is Xiaosheng? It's just that he can drink two more bowls of wine, maybe it's the reason why Xiaosheng is the ninth in the family. ”

Li Zhi did another bowl, and then he noticed that there were indeed wisps of aura, with the "three pulp" into his stomach, slowly converging into his sea of consciousness, and was swallowed by the black and white twin infant.

It's a pity that this little bit of aura is not even a drop in the bucket for Li Zhi's needs today, if it weren't for that person to mention it, Li Zhi might not be able to perceive it.

With Qin Huaiyu adding two more dry firewood, this wine pair is finally coming to an end.

The man's one and a half jars of "Sanle Pulp", as well as the two big wine bags "Tugu Spring" that Li Zhi brought from Xingyang, Henan, were all drunk clean by the two of them.

"Okay, tonight's wine is almost over, and someone from a certain family has finally arrived. The little brother and your family will be here later, and they will talk again when a certain family and that person are settled—"

After the man finished speaking, he stood up and tightened the sword box behind his back, and the expression on his face was extremely solemn.

Li Zhi had already felt that a person had come from the west, and he was still five miles away, and his sword aura was sharp, and it seemed that he was also a rare sword cultivator!

"Brother Tai made an appointment to gamble with someone? Although Xiaosheng is not talented, he has also practiced flower boxing and embroidered legs for a few days, if Brother Tai doesn't mind, can you allow me to wait and watch? ”

"Xiao Sheng can feel that Brother Tai's cultivation is far beyond ordinary people, and the person who is right with Brother Tai is probably also a good hand, just take this opportunity for the two of us to open our eyes and study hard."

Li Zhi also stood up from the stone, patting the non-existent dust while looking at the man with a slight begging.

"This ...... Well, it's okay for the two of you to watch from the sidelines, thinking that person just wants to fight for the title of 'the number one swordsman in the world', and he won't be able to deal with the two of you." ”

"Even if he is really angry and doesn't talk about martial arts, is a certain family still afraid of him?"

"Spicy hand judge, a certain family has already come, are you still like a turtle with a shrunken head, hiding inside and not daring to come out?"

At this moment, a shout sounded outside the ruined temple, piercing the silence of the night like a sword aura.

"Brother Xiahou, it's been seven years, why are you so hard? A certain family has said many times, is it okay to admit that you are the 'number one swordsman in the world'? ”

The man shook his head helplessly, motioned for Li Zhi and them to follow behind him, and then turned around and walked out.

The moon hangs in the sky, shining like water, breaking the temple door, dressed in white.

"Hmph, I don't need you to admit it, I, Xiahou, want to take the title of 'No. 1 Swordsman in the World', and I only believe in the 'Heavenly Demon Sword' in my hand."

The long sword was unsheathed, and the sword aura was clear, with an aura of decay, evil, and destruction.

"You've really practiced, congratulations, I'm afraid that there are countless dead souls in the northern frontier, right? ——”

Seeing the sword aura of this Xiahou virtuous brother Sen Ran, that person's face became even heavier, and he said that he was gratifying, where was there a little congratulatory look on his face?

"Didn't you once call yourself a spicy judge? Do you dare to say that there are fewer souls who die under your sword? I haven't seen you for a year and become timid, but you still invite two helpers? ”

"Haha, what kind of character should I be, a reluctant 'martial arts god', and a 'heavenly leaky body', you yourself are a wonderful, and the person you invite is also wonderful-"

Xiahou Xian looked at Li Zhi and Qin Huaiyu, and his words and expressions were all full of deep disdain.

"Brother Xiahou Xian, they are just friends who met here by chance, and they have nothing to do with the matter between you and me, I heard that there was a gambling fight, so I wanted to take a look and watch from the wall."

The man seemed to know very well the personality of this Xiahou virtuous brother, and hurriedly explained to Li Zhi and them, although he was not afraid of this Xiahou, he didn't want this person to be jealous of Li Zhi.

"Hmph, no more nonsense, let's get started-"

Speaking of a start, the "Heavenly Demon Sword" in this Xiahou's hand swept away, and the gray-black sword qi was accompanied by a series of sword lights, looking like a sword, and it seemed that thousands of swords were connected together.

The man didn't dare to be careless and patted himself on the back.

"The sky is upright, the sun and the moon are all shining-"

From the sword box behind him, two swords flew out at the same time, one left and one right, and crossed in the air, forming a circle of light curtains, blocking Xiahou's thousands of sword qi.

"Hmph, look at me's 'one foot high, one foot high'-"

Xiahou's sword qi was easily blocked, and he was very unhappy in his heart, his body was already in mid-air, and even the moon seemed to be covered by him, or had he already turned into the moon?

The "Heavenly Demon Sword" slashed down viciously under the upper momentum, is this trying to complete the battle?

The momentum carried on the "Heavenly Demon Sword" was a little unbearable even for Qin Huaiyu, who was standing behind, but Li Zhi gently helped Qin Huaiyu without a trace.

This Xiahou's realm, Li Zhi can also see it clearly, just like the previous person, he is also a sword cultivator in the early stage of Jindan.

However, looking at the situation, Xiahou should have taken the path of demon cultivation, and he should be stronger in terms of momentum.

I don't know if it's because he hasn't been able to win for seven consecutive years, or because there are two more spectators on the scene tonight, which made this Xiahou explode as soon as he came up?

"Brother Xiahou, you? ……”

That person didn't seem to expect that Xiahou would be so quick to use a spicy hand, and hurriedly adjusted his state and took out his signature mastery.

"Heaven and earth are infinite, and Qiankun borrows the law-"

As soon as this move came out, Li Zhi behind him was taken aback, and then suddenly realized, it turned out to be this person?

Yan returns to the ancient temple of the cold forest dream, and the three-foot Qingfeng reflects the red glow!
