Seeing that the young man in the white shirt was sincere in his words, and his eyebrows were also righteous and awe-inspiring, he should not be an outlaw, and the scholar was a little relieved in his heart.

However, when he saw the swords worn by the three guards, the scholar was still afraid, and immediately stammered back: "No ...... It doesn't matter, Xiaosheng, like the four brothers, also came to this Lanruo Temple for one night, if ...... If it's okay, Xiaosheng will retire first! ”

"Hey, wait a minute!"

The young guard with the sword at his waist immediately stopped the scholar.

When Shu Shengqiang turned around with a smile, he said with a pleasant face: "I'm sorry, brother Tai, my surname is Ding Mingxian, he is not a villain, and he is just an unintentional move, I hope Brother Tai will forgive me!" ”

The scholar smiled reluctantly: "It's easy to say...... Say! ”

Ding Xian smiled slightly, then his eyes moved slightly, glanced at the two swordsmen who were still fighting in the courtyard, and asked softly: "Brother Tai, I came a little late, I don't know what happened here, may I ask why these two in the courtyard are fighting, and how long do you plan to fight." ”

"If they fight all night, then we, the passers-by who are resting, will suffer the old sin!"

…… It turned out to be because of this!

The scholar suddenly realized, and just as he wanted to answer that he had just arrived, he heard the bearded swordsman snort coldly.

"Xiahou, did you hear it, you disturbed the people who were staying overnight, why don't you stop it quickly?!"

"Less!" The black-clothed swordsman named Xiahou became faster and more urgent with the sword moves in his hand, and his words burst out like gold and stone, becoming sharper and sharper, "If you are afraid of me, quickly admit defeat, give up the name of the first sword in the world, and don't in the pit there!" ”

The more Xiahou spoke, the more angry he became, he immediately snorted coldly, and shouted angrily with an angry face: "The so-called swordsman should be sharp and invincible, you Yan Chixia is good, do the opposite, get the name of the world's first sword, you can't escape from the world, let me and other rising stars have no way to find - how can there be such a swordsman in the world!" ”

"Do you also deserve the name of the number one sword in the world?!"

As he spoke, the long sword in Xiahou's hand was sharply raised, and a black glow lit up on the sword.

In the next second, the ghostly light was great, and the sharp sword qi broke away from the sword body, slashing towards Yan Chixia's neck like a match.

Seeing this, Yan Chixia let out a long sigh, the long sword in her palm lit up with red light, and the majestic and righteous sword intent suddenly soared, and the sword blade roared lightly, easily cutting off the sword qi swung by Xiahou.

The sword qi was vertical and horizontal, carrying a rolling wave of qi roaring past both sides of Yan Chixia, cutting off the two stone pillars in front of the temple behind him.

And Yan Chixia had already taken this opportunity to step forward, advance closely, and put the long sword in her hand on Xiahou's shoulder.

The sword body was cold, and it lit up in the moonlight.

Xiahou looked at the long sword on his shoulder in a daze, and then at Yan Chixia, who looked calm in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "I can't imagine that you have avoided this kind of ghost place for more than half a month, and you have actually sharpened this sword......

"Wrong!" Yan Chixia said coldly, "It's because you are too sharp, and you are indomitable with your sword, leaving no room for error, so you have been defeated by me repeatedly." ”

Xia Hou sneered, lowered his long sword, and said lightly: "You won me, naturally everything is right!" ”

Yan Chixia frowned, and said with a long sigh: "Xiahou, you have fought with me for seven years and lost for seven years for the false name of the world's number one sword, haven't you thought carefully about why this is?" ”

Xiahou sneered: "Why? ”

Yan Chixia said lightly: "Because your purpose is not pure, your intentions are not right, and your sword moves are naturally uncertain, if you can't cultivate your mind and cultivate your mind, and take a step forward in your state of mind, even if you use your sword quickly and accurately in the future, you will never be my opponent in this life!" ”

Hearing Yan Chixia's evaluation, the white-shirted young man nodded slightly, obviously feeling that the evaluation was very pertinent.

But Xiahou has been blinded by the name of the world's number one sword, and in the face of Yan Chixia's kind guidance, he still can't get in.

"Less nonsense!" Xia Hou sneered and said, "I'm here to compete with you, not to listen to you tell you the truth, everyone has their own way, my kendo road is indomitable, no matter what you say, it is impossible to shake my sword heart, you don't want to talk in vain!" ”

Speaking of this, Xiahou paused in his tone, turned to look at the sword on his shoulder, and sneered: "Yan Chixia, if you want to kill, you will kill, if you don't kill, let me go quickly - a word of warning to you in advance, when my swordsmanship improves, I will come to you to continue the competition!" ”

"You!"

Yan Chixia's tiger eyes widened, and the green tendons in her right hand, which was holding the long sword, skyrocketed.

After hesitating for a long time, Yan Chixia finally lowered her long sword and scolded hatefully.

"Oil and salt don't go in!"

“……”

Xia Hou glanced at him, snorted coldly, grabbed the long sword and turned to leave.

The scholar and the white-shirted young man were a group of four, Xia Hou looked at each other coldly, and said lightly: "This place is gloomy and evil, and there are villains like Yan Chixia who live in seclusion here, if you don't want to lose your life for no reason, it's best to choose another place." ”

After saying that, Xia Hou didn't care about their response and strode away from this place.

Looking at the back of Xia Hou's departure, a smile appeared on the face of the white-shirted young man.

"The swordsman is awe-inspiring and upright, although this person is a little too sharp, but he can still be regarded as a real swordsman."

Hearing the comment of the white-shirted young man, Yan Chixia glanced at him and said lightly: "If it weren't for that, how could I have spared his life several times, but don't think he is kind, he just wants to disgust me before leaving, so I persuaded you to leave!" ”

The white-shirted young man chuckled and asked, "Then what he said, is it true or false?" ”

"Of course it's true!" Yan Chixia glared at them and said viciously, "The gloomy and evil spirit here, and there are villains like me living in seclusion, if you are afraid of death, leave quickly!" ”

In the face of Yan Chixia's intimidation, the white-shirted young man and the others did not react, but the scholar was taken aback and hurriedly hid behind Ding Xian.

"What he said is true!" The scholar swallowed and said in a low voice, "I've seen his wanted warrant in the county......"

"Oh?" Ding Xian raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Chixia with interest, "Are you wanted?" ”

"You're just wanted!" Yan Chixia glared at Ding Xian and the scholar, and said angrily, "Although I, Yan Chixia, have a fierce face, but before I retired to the rivers and lakes, I was also a head catcher, I caught a lot of Jiangyang thieves, and the court still owes me a lot of money, how can I be wanted." ”

"You are a poor scholar, if you are afraid, you will retreat by yourself, you have to tarnish my reputation, so that I have to tell the truth......"

Only then did the scholar remember Yan Chixia's name and pat his head.

"Oh yes, your name is Yan Chixia, and that murderer is called Liu Yidao."

The white-shirted young man smiled and asked, "Then what's your name?" ”

The scholar hurriedly took a step back and arched his hand: "Under the surname Ning Caichen, a person from Shaanxi, this trip is to Beiguo to collect accounts for Bao Zhai, but unexpectedly the account book was wet in the rain, the accounts are not clear, and I can't get money in Xia, and I have no money to live in the hotel, so I can only come here to spend the night......"

"I see."

The white-shirted young man looked abrupt, then arched his hand, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, in Xia Zhao Lihe, like you, is also a person from Shaanxi, and I want to go to Yangzhou to discuss a business this trip, these three are my fellow villagers and the guards I hired." ”

"Lu Jianxing."

"Shen Lian."

"Ding Xian."

The three brothers gave up their hands one after another and said their names.

Yan Chixia said lightly: "It turned out to be a rich businessman, no wonder he was dressed in brocade clothes - but since he is a rich businessman, why bother to come to Lanruo Temple to stay, there is a county town three and a half miles west of this place, and there are good inns in the city, you shouldn't be able to afford to live, right?" ”

Zhao Lihe sighed lightly and said: "In this world, what is the difference between living in an inn and living in an ancient temple in the wilderness? ”

Yan Chixia raised her eyebrows, looked him up and down a few times, and chuckled: "You fat sheep, you can see it through, you were robbed outside the city, stolen in the city, and you lost money left and right, there is really no difference." ”

"However, if you are stolen, you can still save your life, if you are robbed, I am afraid that your life will be lost!"

Lu Jianxing frowned, took a step forward, and said lightly: "There is no need for Yan Daxia to worry about this, the safety of the master is protected by us." ”

It's up to you?

Yan Chixia was contemptuous in her heart, looking the three guards up and down, and suddenly her face changed, and her expression was solemn.

These three people are calm, have a good temperament, and are introverted in their eyes, they are actually real good players!

Looking at the white-shirted young man at the head, his face is heroic, calm, and he still has a prestige that has been in a high position for a long time, such a momentum is definitely not something that ordinary rich businessmen can have.

"It should be a high-ranking official of the DPRK and China who has returned to his hometown......"

Yan Chixia thought so in her heart, then frowned slightly, and said coldly: "If you insist on staying here, I won't stop you, but this place is ghostly, and if you live here, it's best to raise a bonfire and live in a group." ”

Saying that, Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen and said, "Scholar, you can live with them!" ”

Ding Xian raised his eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly: "Why not with you?" ”

Yan Chixia smiled: "It's okay with me, I want to meditate on the futon in the temple, would you like to rest next to me?" ”

Ning Caichen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked at the Buddha hall with Yan Chixia's gaze, even when he saw a few broken Buddha statues.

The broken Buddha body, the broken arm, and the terrifying Buddha head with glowing eyes under the offering table made Ning Caichen shudder, and hurriedly hid beside Ding Xian.

"Yan Daxia's kindness, I understand it, I ...... I'd better follow them! ”

"Haha!"

Yan Chixia raised her head and laughed, held her sword in her backhand, and turned to leave.

Shen Lian frowned when he saw this, leaned over to Zhao Lihe's side, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty...... Master, do you really want Ning Caichen to follow us, with your royal spirit by your side, will the female ghost of Lanruo Temple still dare to come? ”

“…… Anyway. ”

Zhao Lihe waved his hand and chuckled: "You forgot, the target of that female ghost's first night was not Ning Caichen. ”

Shen Lian said in a deep voice: "It's that Xiahou swordsman!" ”

Zhao Lihe smiled and nodded, turned over his hand and took out a red paper umbrella and handed it to Shen Lian.

"Keep up with Xiahou, if the female ghost appears, put her in the paper umbrella and arrest her to see me!"

"Yes!"

Shen Lian took the paper umbrella and respectfully accepted the order.
