Chapter Eighty-Eight: Asking the Sword in My Hand (Part II)

The sword in the hand (medium)

As soon as Li Dao finished speaking, he fell asleep.

After he silently wrote another article on the art of war to Chu Liang, he continued to meditate and practice, occasionally looking at the withered yellow leaves outside the window in a daze.

I don't know what happened to Shushan and Chang'an?

This Wushan Xu Chang'an must be going, maybe you can see the purple clothes. As for the competition, he didn't think about it that much, at most he just went to see the excitement.

It had been a few days since he came out of Yangcheng, and after a quick glance that day, Mo Qingshui had disappeared, and he didn't even say goodbye. Xu Changan lowered his head, took out the jade talisman from his arms, and looked at it carefully.

Eventually, he sighed.

Dressed in purple and white. He really didn't know what to do.

When he was young, he often sat alone in the doorway.

He has no friends, not because of his personality, but because of Uncle Shi's control. When the children went out to play after eating, he was always forced by Uncle Shi to memorize some difficult ancient texts, so he could only have time for his own activities after dark.

At that time, there were flowers growing in front of the house of Weicheng. When the wind blows, the fragrance of flowers hits.

His favorites are purple hyacinths and white roses.

At that time, Xiao Chang'an hoped that these flowers could be moved to his room. He plucked up the courage and went to ask Uncle Shi for a flower pot.

Uncle Shi thought about it and finally bought him only a flower pot.

Not because he didn't have money, but because he had to make a choice.

Uncle Shi told him that if he likes one thing, every flower should be single-minded. You move both flowers into your home, and one of them will surely wither because of your dedication to the other. Instead of letting her wither at home, let her bloom in nature.

At that time, Xu Changan didn't understand what Uncle Shi meant.

Uncle Shi smiled slightly, then squatted down and hugged Xu Changan's arms and said, "You must know that silver can be divided equally, but there are many things in the world that cannot be divided equally, such as love and care. These two things can never be a bowl of water. ”

Xu Changan nodded ignorantly at that time, but there was some truth, and he only knew it now.

The purple hyacinth and the white rose were not transplanted to his home, and the pot remained empty until Xu Changan was forced to leave Weicheng.

He lowered his head and sighed.

said that his love and liking for two people were equal, and he couldn't do it.

Just as Uncle Shi said, the silver in this world can be divided equally, and the goods can be divided equally, but the joy and sorrow in the hearts of this person cannot be divided equally. When you say to one person that you love each other equally, you are doing her a bad treat.

Xu Changan put away the jade talisman, shook his head, glanced at Xiaobai, who was sleeping soundly, and continued to comprehend a few exercises on his body.

......

The sky was getting a little dark, and the leaves that remained on the trees rattled, expressing their last reluctance to the leaves.

Li Daoyi and Xiaobai are awake, night is coming, this is the time for their activities,

A few people simply ate something, Li Dao stretched his waist, Xiaobai stood on his shoulder, and was about to go out.

"Wait!" Hearing Xu Changan's voice, Li Daoyi was stunned. He turned his head to look at Xu Changan, only to see that he had already tied the long sword to his back, and he looked like he was about to go out.

"I'll go with you, I'll go and see if the bloodsucker is a demon disciple. Xu Changan said lightly, but he was a little nervous in his heart. After all, his blood was almost sucked at the beginning, and that person became the young master of the Holy Mountain.

Hearing that the blood was sucked, Xu Changan immediately thought of the old man Qing Jiu.

So, he had to go and see it.

Xu Changan let Chu stay in the inn alive, and followed Li Daoyi and Xiaobai into the village.

When I first entered the village, the village was very quiet, and a few cats were lying quietly on the roof, looking at Xiaobai with envy. Because Xiaobai can lie on the shoulders or top of human beings in a grand manner, this is a great honor for them. Moreover, Xiaobai doesn't have to catch mice, he eats, sleeps and sleeps every day, and even plays happily with humans.

Xiaobai seemed to feel the jealousy of the "same kind", so he jumped from Li Daoyi's shoulder to the top of his head, and barked loudly at the cat on the roof.

After only two sentences, Xiaobai was ripped off by Xu Changan.

The two of them walked through the quiet village, and after a few turns, they finally came to a tiled house.

When I entered the house, there were many people inside, and there was no furniture except for a few tables. Occasionally, however, a woman would bring some hot water and glasses.

The owner of the house has long since died, so it has become ownerless. Since it is an ownerless thing, it was used by the gamblers in the village.

They converted the empty house into a casino and hired a few women to boil water. Every night they gather a group of people to play money (gambling money) here, and after each night, the winner will pay some money to the women who bring them tea and water.

Xu Changan followed them into the house, which was full of smoke and miasma, and the smell of sweat and feet was mixed together. A few people saw Li Daoyi and Xiaobai coming in, so they turned their mouths towards Xu Chang'an and asked Li Daoyi, "Is it a new friend?" After finishing speaking, they looked Xu Changan up and down, and saw that Xu Changan was just wearing a green shirt, so he muttered: "This doesn't look like a fat sheep!"

As soon as Li Dao heard this, he glanced at Xu Changan, who was a little confused, and said to the man: "your eggs, what a fat sheep, this is my brother." He doesn't gamble, he's just worried that I'll come and see it and leave later. ”

When the man heard this, he lost interest in Xu Changan. He also thought that Li Daoyi had introduced another fat sheep and asked them to slaughter a few brothers!

After knowing that Xu Changan was not a "fat sheep", he shook his hand and shouted twice, and suddenly a group of people would crowd in front of an empty table.

Li Daoyi rubbed his hands and smiled at him, "Do you want to have two too?" It's not big, it's just a casual play." Xu Changan glanced at Li Daoyi, and Li Daoyi left with interest.

Xu Changan watched Xiaobai jumping around in front of several tables, very excited, looked at Li Daoyi with a smile on his face, and shook his head. He was already thinking about whether he would stop Xiaobai and gamble in the future.

Xu Changan looked around twice, stayed in the corner and looked for a while, and found that there was a group of people in a group, all kinds of small movements under the table, and even a flick of someone's sleeve, the number of dice in the dice cup would change. Xu Changan can be sure that these people have not cultivated, if Li Daoyi or he himself does these things, he can still understand, but a mortal can make the points change without touching the dice, which really makes him breathtaking.

In the end, he also found out that Xiaobai and Li Daoyi were also members of a small group.

They all deceived people to gamble and pretended to lose together, but in the end, their money was returned. The money won at that table, Xiaobai and Li Daoyi still have a share.

Xu Changan looked at Li Daoyi and smiled dumbly.

He is also the most outstanding heir of Tianji Pavilion's generation!

However, in the next second, he took a deep look at Li Daoyi. Because Li Daoyi complained about childcare two days ago, he suspected that Xiaobai was a childcare. Unexpectedly, it was only a long time before he became a nursery.

Xu Changan looked at this person and a cat, shook his head, and walked out.

......

Except for the whirring sound of the autumn wind in order to show its arrival, the whole village seemed to fall silent.

Except, of course, on the casino side. But because the house was on the edge of the village, the door was closed when they gambled, and there would be no sound.

Xu Changan carried a long sword on his back, and wandered around the village like a ghost.

At this point, it is close to the sub-time.

The cats sleeping on the roof found Xu Changan's traces, but they just glanced at Xu Changan lazily and continued to sleep. A few dogs found Xu Changan, but they wanted to shout loudly, but they were glared at by Xu Changan and immediately fell down obediently.

Xu Changan wandered around and found nothing abnormal, so he found a corner and sat down.

Suddenly, a short and rapid dog bark came, Xu Changan hurriedly stood up and jumped in that direction, but when he arrived, he only saw a dog lying on the ground, and it had long been silent. There was a knife mark on his neck, and blood flowed from the knife.

When Xu Changan saw this situation, he untied the long sword and held it in his hand.

Cautiously leaning forward, I don't know when, the cats sleeping on the roof were gone, only the sound of the wind whirring in my ears.

Xu Changan walked around, but still didn't find it. Something suddenly occurred to him, and he hurried back to the place where the dog had died.

Sure enough, the dog's corpse was gone.

Xu Changan frowned, looked at the blood stains on the ground, walked all the way forward, and before he knew it, he actually left the village.

There are many plains in the south, so when you leave the village, you can see the haystacks and fields of crops that have already been harvested.

He seemed to hear the sound of chewing, and his feet were slightly off the ground, without making a sound, and slowly walked towards the chewing sound.

Xu Changan's heart was pounding, he was not afraid of powerful enemies, but afraid of unknown enemies.

Suddenly, the chewing sound was gone.

Xu Changan held his breath, didn't let himself make a sound, and hid behind a haystack.

He could almost have determined that the blood-sucking man who killed the dog was behind the haystack in front of him. He just wanted to turn to the front, but a face suddenly appeared in front of him, and he made a "hey" sound, which startled him a lot! Xu Changan was in a hurry, and he didn't use his sword, but instead knocked the figure out with one palm.

Xu Changan patted his chest, he was really scared just now.

He didn't even know how that face appeared in front of him, and since he had practiced, he had rarely been frightened.

Xu Changan came back to his senses and walked forward.

The figure in the distance lay on the ground, Xu Changan took a closer look, and it turned out to be a woman, her eyes were red, and her throat was like a beast, and she roared.

Xu Changan frowned, she was a little familiar with this state, this was the situation of evil qi entering the body.

However, it looks like he has sucked a lot of blood, and he is about to lose his senses. Although Xu Changan didn't know who she was, it was always a kind of torture for her. He thought about it, and then he tried to use his long sword to pick open the long hair that covered his face.

"Young man spare his life!" suddenly an old voice came.

Xu Changan turned his head to look, and saw a person running over with a chicken in his hand.

This is an old man, and the material of his clothes should be good, but now he is dirty, and there are still a lot of scars on his body.

He put the bloody chicken in his hand in front of the woman, who immediately picked it up and gulped it.

Xu Changan frowned, looking at this scene.

The woman seemed to have had enough blood, and her red eyes slowly faded and returned to their original color. At the same time, as soon as her eyes closed, she fell groggily.

The old man hurriedly picked up the woman and laid her down under the haystack.

"This is evil qi entering the body!" Xu Changan finally spoke.

The old man's eyes lit up and he looked at Xu Changan, with excitement and fear in his eyes.

"What's the situation between you and her?" Xu Changan put down his long sword, pointed at the woman, and then pointed at the old man and asked.

The old man bowed his head and refused to speak.

"If you don't tell me how this evil spirit came about, I'm afraid in a few days she will be a beast without a mind. ”

The old man still refused to speak, and he did not dare to speak.

When Xu Changan saw him like this, he raised his hand slightly, and the old man was startled, only then did he realize that he was actually standing in the air. His eyes were full of surprise and he looked at the masked strange man in front of him.

Xu Changan's hand was slowly lowered, and the old man fell to the ground and immediately collapsed to the ground.

"If you don't want to say it, I won't force it. But if I find out about bloodsucking next time, I will be killed!"

Xu Changan said, then turned around, carried the long sword, and prepared to return to the inn.

"Wait!"

Suddenly a voice came from behind him.

Xu Changan stopped, but did not turn around.

"Can I trust you?" said the old man, gritting his teeth.

Xu Changan didn't care about him, so he wanted to continue to move forward.

"My name is Juan!"

The old man finally spoke.

......

Xu Changan sat beside the haystack, listening to the old man tell the story, and his heart fluttered.

Juan didn't hide it, everything was said.

Including how he was deceived and how he framed his master.

Xu Changan looked at the old man with complicated eyes, not knowing what to say.

The old man's heart is good, but others just take advantage of his loyalty, which can successfully get Xun Fa to be imprisoned.

What surprised him even more was that this woman was Xun Fa's wife. Thinking of this, he immediately slapped his head fiercely.

That day, he felt that Xun Fa was haunted by evil spirits, and thought that Xun Fa was dyed, so he didn't think much about it. Fortunately, I came out today, otherwise the Holy Dynasty would be about to lose a Confucian!

Xu Changan looked at the old man, asked him to help his wife, and took them back to the inn.

After Xun Fa's accident, all family property was confiscated, and he and his wife could only live on the streets. And the "illness" of the lady is getting worse and worse. The old butler Juan had no choice but to run to the village with his wife.

I went to the field every day to steal something to get revenge, and at night I found a place to hide. And the lady would go out to find food by herself at night, and bite some of the animals in the village to death.

Later, the critters gradually disappeared. Some were also locked up in their homes by the villagers, so they could only attack the dogs, but the dogs were not as good as small animals. Juan was afraid that something would happen to his wife, so he stole a knife and put it next to his wife. In the middle of the night, the lady would go out to forage for food with a knife!

Fortunately, I met Xu Changan tonight!

Xu Changan took the two back to the inn, and he gently tapped He Shudie's forehead, making her fall asleep, and he was not in a hurry to help her get rid of the wisp of evil energy.

It's not that he doesn't help, it's not that he can't help. He is a demon sealing sword body, and he has a natural ability to resist evil qi. Even the evil qi in the dragon's blood and the evil qi in the dragon scales didn't have much effect on him, let alone this ordinary wisp of evil qi.

What Xu Changan wanted was to take this opportunity to force Xun Fa to Chang'an.

After chatting with Juan, Xu Changan had roughly guessed the Tao in this case. And he was already convinced that the so-called "Luo Sandao" must be dead.

If you investigate carefully, with the help of some strength, you will definitely be able to return Xun Fa's innocence.

However, he is no longer loyal and righteous, and he believes that Xun Fa has the strength to return his innocence, and all he has to do now is to rescue Xun Fa.

Xu Changan wants Xun Fa to find his innocence for himself!

......

This night, Xu Changan didn't sleep. He was still a little hesitant, he couldn't wait to expose his loyalty, and the identity of the prince of Pingshan caught that Hou Bohou. But he knew that he couldn't, and even now that he had reached the boundary of Fengwu Prefecture, he didn't dare to use that "Qi" token anymore. If he is caught by the people of the Qinglian Sword Sect and forced to participate in the Six Sects Competition, his identity will be exposed.

It was dawn, and Li Daoyi and Xiaobai came back.

Xu Changan told Li Daoyi about this matter one by one, and Li Daoyi did not hesitate at all.

"Rob Xun Fa out, either cure his wife and let him go to Chang'an, how to prove his innocence in the future is his own business; if he doesn't want to, then we can't control his wife!"

When Xu Changan heard this, he was stunned.

"......"

"But whatever. ”

"Your identity is more important than his ten hundred Confucians, what is there to consider. You must not be too publicistic now, and the Confucius Temple should also have less contact. ”

"For you, the demon clan was able to send out the Open Heaven Realm, and several seniors almost burped. What about him, a Confucian, is he worthy of the chaos of the demon clan!"

When Xu Changan heard this, he was silent.
