Under the shadow of the paper umbrella, the fair girl in a white gauze skirt bowed down and bowed to Zhao Lihe and the others with a grateful face.

Zhao Lihe chuckled and asked her to get up, and then looked at the large and small columbarium altars all over the ground next to the grave.

Shen Lian asked, "Master, what should I do with these urns?" ”

Zhao Lihe said: "Saving one person is saving, saving 100 people is also saving, let's take it away together." ”

Shen Lian respectfully bowed his hand: "Yes!" ”

After the two brothers went to collect the ashes of other passers-by who died in vain, Zhao Lihe turned his head to look at Xiaoqing.

"Little young girl, can you tell me where the dryad's body is?"

"......" Xiaoqing hesitated and said softly, "Engong, grandma, no, that tree demon has strong skills, and there is an old demon of Montenegro in the underworld as a backer behind you, you have a noble status and an extraordinary background, why don't you enjoy the wealth of the world, and you have to entangle with this monster?" ”

Zhao Lihe raised his eyebrows: "What, do you want to regret it?" ”

"Of course not, it's just ......"

Xiaoqing hurriedly clarified, then hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said: "From here to the east deep into the mountain forest, near the deep mountain rock wall, there is a towering ancient tree that ten people hug, that is the body of the tree demon grandma!" ”

Zhao Lihe frowned and said: "Ten people hugging together, so conspicuous, why hasn't Yan Daxia found out?" ”

Xiaoqing explained: "Because the ancient tree is surrounded by demonic energy and fog, ordinary people can't even get close to it, even if the mana is as strong as Yan Daxia, after walking in the fog for a long time, they will not be able to distinguish the direction." ”

"I see." Zhao Lihe nodded, and then asked with a smile, "Little young girl, I have already helped you find your bones as promised, what are your plans next?" ”

Xiaoqing blinked, and said shyly: "Xiaoqing has incomplete memories of his previous life, and he no longer knows where his hometown is, if Engong is willing, please take me back and find a place to bury me!" ”

"......" Zhao Lihe pulled the corners of his mouth.

Good guy, if he hadn't seen A Chinese Ghost Story, maybe he would have agreed.

This Xiaoqing obviously sees that he is from a rich background, and wants to be reincarnated in his family and be a rich girl in the next life!

Thinking of this, Zhao Lihe shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, little young girl, I am going south this time, I have something important to do, and I won't leave in three or five years, if you really want to be reincarnated as soon as possible, why don't you let me go to a nearby township and find a good family for you to bury......"

Xiaoqing heard the meaning of Zhao Lihe's words, and was disappointed in her heart, but she still nodded obediently on her face.

"Then according to what Gong Engong said!"

It didn't take long for Shen Lian and Lu Jianxing to put away all the ashes.

Zhao Lihe let Xiaoqing get into the paper umbrella and returned to Lanruo Temple with the ash altar by himself.

As soon as I entered the temple, I heard the sound of gold and iron clashing in the courtyard.

Zhao Lihe frowned, walked quickly into the temple, and then saw Yan Chixia and Xiahou swordsman fighting in the courtyard.

In the corridor next to him stood Ding Xian and Ning Caichen, who had just woken up and were eating oil cakes while watching the battle with great interest.

"What's going on?"

Zhao Lihe's voice came from behind him.

Ding Xian hurriedly swallowed the oil cake, got up and said: "Back to the master, Brother Yan is healing Brother Xiahou, how did Brother Xiahou suddenly wake up, thinking that Brother Yan wanted to do something wrong, so he was furious and fought with him again!" ”

…… Want to do something wrong?

Zhao Lihe's face was strange, and he seemed to be a little puzzled.

Shen Lian behind him quietly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Xiahou's clothes were accidentally split into ashes by me. ”

Zhao Lihe suddenly realized, looked at the two people in the courtyard with a funny face, and sure enough, he found that Xia Hou only had a sackcloth on his body, which was empty, revealing gray skin and body hair.

It can be imagined how sad and angry Xia Hou felt when he woke up and found that he was being honest with Yan Chixia.

"Buzz!"

The sword qi hummed and raged in the courtyard of Lanruo Temple, cutting the floor stone bricks in the courtyard into countless pieces.

Yan Chixia and Xia Hou hit the roof from the ground to the roof, and then from the roof to the ground, approaching the place where everyone was watching the battle several times.

But every time she approached, Yan Chixia would suddenly use more subtle sword moves, forcing Xiahou to retreat step by step.

Obviously, even if you don't count Dao and Dao Method, just in terms of swordsmanship, Xia Hou is still not Yan Chixia's opponent.

After picking up Xiahou's long sword with a blow, Yan Chixia's tiger eyes widened, and she glared at Xiahou angrily and said:

"How many times have I told you, Lao Tzu is not interested in you!"

"Don't talk nonsense, dare to take advantage of me, eat me first!"

Xia Hou shouted angrily, and the long sword in his hand lit up with a faint light, obviously planning to move seriously.

Ding Xian watched it with relish on the side, and he had the appearance of a drama chaser in his previous life.

CP can be unpopular, but not evil.

In order to prevent Ding Xian from going astray, Zhao Lihe glanced at Lu Jianxing beside him and motioned for him to step forward to stop him.

Lu Jianxing nodded in understanding, immediately took off his brocade clothes, handed it to Shen Lian, and then jumped up and fell into the battlefield.

At this time, Yan Chixia and Xiahou were already ready to fly, even if they saw Lu Jianxing jumping into the battlefield, they couldn't withdraw the sword momentum, they could only try their best to restrain their strength, and watched as the two sharp swords slashed at Lu Jianxing's chest and back.

"Zheng—"

The sword body buzzed, and the skin of Lu Jianxing's whole body turned copper, like a golden body of an Arhat, and he flicked the two sharp swords back.

Sparks flew everywhere, but Lu Jianxing's body was not damaged in the slightest, not even the flesh and skin were not injured in the slightest.

Yan Chixia had long known his ability, so she was not particularly surprised.

Xia Hou saw Lu Jianxing's strength for the first time, and immediately looked stunned, and couldn't help but blurt out.

"It's ...... King Kong is not bad?! ”

"Brother Xiahou is so knowledgeable!"

Lu Jianxing's body regained its blood color, hugged his fists with a smile, and said: "Don't do any more pointless disputes, my master has found the body of the tree demon, and plans to invite the two of you to go together to subdue the demon and eliminate the demon, I don't know what the two of you think?" ”

Xia Hou frowned: "Dryad...... What Dryad? ”

"It's the youkai that is entrenched here." Lu Jianxing said with a smile, "Brother Xiahou, the female ghost who intended to harm you in the waterhole was the maidservant girl under the thousand-year-old tree demon seat, Brother Yan just wanted to save your life, but he never wanted to accidentally destroy your clothes in the battle. ”

“…… Is that so? ”

Xiahou looked at Yan Chixia with suspicion on his face.

"Or else?"

Yan Chixia was full of black lines, and she wanted to take out a mirror immediately and slap it on Xiahou's face, so that he could take a good look.

People must be self-aware, don't have a disfigured face equal to beauty, and feel that you are too handsome......

Yan Chixia complained in her heart, not realizing that she was just the eldest brother laughing at the second brother, and she was just laughing at fifty steps and a hundred steps.

Under the persuasion of Lu Jianxing, the two temporarily quit the sword soldiers and were invited to the room of Zhao Lihe and others.

At this time, Zhao Lihe didn't know where to get a set of tea sets, and brewed a pot of good Tieguanyin.

Yan Chixia tasted it and couldn't help but admire: "Good tea!" ”

Zhao Lihe said with a smile: "If you like it, drink more, I still have some surplus goods here, and it doesn't hurt to give them to Yan Daxia!" ”

When Yan Chixia heard this, she put down the teacup, shook her head and said, "Brother Zhao's kindness, Yan Mou understands it, but forget about it......"

"As the saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, this kind of expensive and good tea is not something that poor people like me can afford, in case we get used to its good taste, and can no longer eat ordinary tea, it will be bad."

Hearing Yan Chixia's words, Xiahou paused to drink tea and silently put down the teacup.

Zhao Lihe chuckled and said: "Yan Daxia's magic skills are world-famous, his mana is strong, and the most rare thing is to care about the common people, if even a person like you is not qualified to enjoy a good pot of tea, then who in this world can afford to enjoy it?" ”

Xiahou was straightforward and sneered: "Of course it's a powerful person like you!" ”

When Yan Chixia heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she immediately laughed, and spoke for him: "Brother Xiahou has always been straightforward and fast-talking, just say whatever you want, Brother Zhao, don't take it to heart." ”

Zhao Lihe smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

Xiahou glanced at Yan Chixia coldly, and said without appreciation: "Do you want you to speak for me?" ”

“…… And lo and behold! Yan Chixia rolled her eyes, then sighed lightly and said, "But what Brother Xiahou said is not unreasonable, now this world is like this, the powerful and noble have everything, and the poor and cheap have nothing." ”

Zhao Lihe said lightly: "Don't you think there is anything wrong with such a world?" ”

Xia Hou said coldly: "What can I do if there is a problem, it has been like this since ancient times." ”

Zhao Lihe asked rhetorically: "Is it right that it has always been like this?" ”

“……”

Xiahou and Yan Chixia were both stunned, and seemed to suddenly realize that the person in front of them was not the same as ordinary magnates.

Zhao Lihe's expression was calm, and he said in a leisurely tone: "Those who hold salaries for everyone must not be allowed to freeze to death in the wind and snow, those who seek welfare for the public, those who seek welfare for the public, those who open the way for freedom, and those who open the way for freedom, must not be trapped in thorns......"

The words echoed in the temple, and although the sound was not too loud, it was indeed deafening to the ears of everyone.

For a while, whether it was Yan Chixia, Ning Caichen or Xiahou, they all looked at Zhao Lihe in a daze, their hearts were surging, and their hearts were uncertain.

After being silent for a long time, Ning Caichen suddenly dragged his luggage, took out a pen and paper, and recorded it with excitement on his face.

Xia Hou suddenly asked, "Did you say this?" ”

Zhao Lihe shook his head: "I didn't say it, but I thought so." ”

Yan Chixia frowned and said, "What do you want to do when you say this?" ”

Zhao Lihe chuckled and said, "I'm not sure yet - when I get rid of this thousand-year-old dryad, I'll go around this great river and mountain, and then decide what to do when I see all over the world......

Xiahou listened carefully to Zhao Lihe's words, suddenly sat up straight, and said solemnly: "If Your Excellency decides to run around for these six mantras in the future, you can come to Lanruo Temple to find me, and you will follow the work of dogs and horses!" ”

After speaking, Xia Hou turned his head to look at Yan Chixia: "Brother Yan, I suddenly have an understanding, I will borrow your room for use." ”

Yan Chixia nodded with satisfaction, and Xiahou immediately got up, grabbed his long sword, and strode towards the temple behind.
