The temple is not empty.

Not long after Chen Fusheng and his party sat down, they saw the two of them coming from the back door of the main hall together.

"What a Kansai man!" Chen Fusheng couldn't help but admire when he saw the burly man, only to see that this person was in his forties, wearing a slightly tattered scholarly robe, but a pair of sword eyebrows flew into the sideburns, looking forward to it, there was no look of difficulty, the sour and rotten atmosphere of the scholar, like a general who conquered the battlefield and sang generously.

Compared with his spirit, although the young scholar next to him is handsome, he is inevitably a little too weak, so he naturally can't attract everyone's attention.

The middle-aged scribe hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Wen Qing and his entourage don't know that the master is here, so they take the liberty to disturb, but the sky is high and the road is difficult, and it is fate to meet, and I hope that it will be convenient for us to stay overnight." ”

The middle-aged man returned the salute with his fists and smiled freely: "When we meet in Pingshui, it is Gao Peng, this Lanruo Temple has been abandoned for a long time, and Chixia and this Ning Gongzi are just living here." It is also a happy event to be able to meet all the friends here. Listening to his accent, it is really not from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but from Qinchuan.

"Yes, Cai Chen also heard that it is quiet here, and specially stayed here to study with peace of mind, I just arrived this morning, but I didn't expect to meet Brother Yan and so many friends today, it's really fate. ”

"Yan Chixia, you are the current Zhong Kui Yan Chixia, when I saw it today, I was really fortunate to have three lives, I heard that you resigned seven years ago and went into hiding, and then there was no news, it turned out that you came to this Lanruo Temple. Unexpectedly, as soon as Yan Chixia's name was said, Xiong Batian instantly became excited, as if he had seen an idol in his life.

From his intermittent words, Yan Chixia's identity was spit out.

It turns out that this Yan Chixia is a real legend, his family has been a battlefield general for several generations, and in his father's generation, he asked to marry a young lady from the Hanlin family, with the excellent blood of both parents, Yan Chixia has really become a figure of both civil and military, less than twenty

won the first place in martial arts, and then won the Jinshi Jinshi of the year, everyone said that if it weren't for the martial arts of this dynasty only to lift people, then he was a well-deserved civil and military double jinshi.

After that, his choice of position was even more unexpected to many people, he did not go to the powerful army at home, nor did he choose the relatively noble Hanlin Academy, the Ministry of Rites or the more powerful officials, but joined the Criminal Department and became a god arrester in all directions.

With his two discerning eyes and a body of martial arts, he quickly became the chief catcher in charge of the thirteen provinces, although the grade is only five grades, but the power is only under one Shangshu and two servants.

After that, he took advantage of Ding Wei, resigned and kept filial piety, and at the end of the three-year period, he was no longer reinstated but officially announced his retirement, and disappeared without a trace.

Because he is iron-faced, selfless and has martial arts, he is very similar to the legendary demon master Zhong Kui, so he got the nickname of Zhong Kui in the world.

"Brother Yan, I didn't expect you to be so famous, I didn't expect it at all. Hearing this, Ning Caichen couldn't help but turn his head sideways to look at Yan Chixia with a look of shock.

With her hands behind her back, Yan Chixia also looked at Xiong Batian a little intentionally, "I didn't expect that Yan has been away from officialdom for so many years, and there are still people who remember it, it seems that there is really some fate." ”

"Of course, Yan Daxia, you are the idol of our three brothers and sisters," Zhang Wenqing took a breath and said solemnly, "Most of the officials cherish their own bodies, how many people in the world can have such a righteous mind as you?"

Chen Fusheng and his companions also saluted forward, after all, although they are no longer officials, with the identity of Jinshi and Chief Catcher, Yan Chixia can still be called an out-and-out big man, these dozen people are either studying literature or practicing martial arts, no matter which one is civil and military, he is a well-deserved senior, how can these people be disrespectful?"

Xu didn't like to stay with so many people, and after saying hello to everyone, Yan Chixia was about to return to the backyard.

However, before opening the inner curtain of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Yan Chixia suddenly stopped, "Lanruo Temple is surrounded by mountains and forests, there are wild beasts, it is best not to stay away from the Daxiong Treasure Hall, rest early tonight, and leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning." ”

After saying this, Yan Chixia no longer hesitated and turned away.

"Forgive me, Brother Yan has this kind of temper, there is no malice, I just came here today, and I have been educated by him two or three times. Ning Caichen scratched his forehead and said helplessly.

Chen Fusheng smiled slightly, among these people, he may be the only one who understood the meaning of Yan Chixia's words: This place is very dangerous, you must be cautious, don't be carried away, if you want to save a small life, it is best to leave here early.

"No, not necessarily," Chen Fusheng looked around, Yan Chixia, Zhang Wenqing pulled over his two senior brothers, lowered his head, whispered, and didn't know what he was talking about, it seems that there are not too few smart people.

"I really didn't expect that this Yan Chixia was actually a real sword cultivator, and I don't know if his method was inherited by family or by accident. Chen Fusheng recalled the leather bag that Yan Chixia hung on her waist, and ordinary people would only think that it was used to hold water at most, but only Chen Fusheng understood that it was an out-and-out sword bag.

In the cultivation world, all sects that are accustomed to using flying swords as a means will have corresponding methods of sacrificing sword sacs, sword boxes, and scabbards.

As the so-called sword is hidden in the box, if it is uneven, it will sound, and the flying sword is too sharp, and before the cultivation is insufficient, it cannot be included in the body, so it is necessary to need a coat that is enough to carry them, which is often beaten into the elixir or the essence of heaven and earth, etc., and slowly temper the flying sword to increase its essential spirituality.

Just now, Chen Fusheng saw that there was a faint sharp aura coming out of the skin, and he understood that the other party was a sword cultivator.

And the other party's cultivation was also seen by him, it was the level of condensation, which was one level higher than his previous strength in sensing heaven and earth.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the level of cultivation, the first two steps of foundation building kung fu are nothing more than refining the body and opening up the meridians and acupoints, that is, in the ordinary martial arts, there are also many characters in the rivers and lakes who can do it, needless to say.

The whole body is full of veins, rebels against the innate nature, and senses the heaven and the earth, which is the beginning of cultivation, and only when it reaches this step can you know the vastness of the world and the vastness of the world, and you are not limited by yourself.

This is the reason why the environment at that time is different from the present, not that the Gangsha method is not good, after all, the world is changing, and the way of cultivation is also constantly developing, although there must be a lot of good things lost, but most of the things that have been handed down have been verified by time, not simply not as good as the ancient.
