Early the next morning. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Xiuyuan got up early.

"Young master, why did you get up so early today. ”

On the couch, the sweet Du Chunhua, who was originally curled up in the arms of her young master and sleeping, felt empty around her, and couldn't help waking up in a daze, and saw that Li Xiuyuan had already gotten up at this time, and immediately asked curiously.

"I'll go out and maybe I'll come back later, and if my father asks, he'll lie for me. Li Xiu said from afar.

Du Chunhua hurriedly said: "Do you want the slave to follow?"

"No, I'm going to do something, it's inconvenient for you to follow. After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he strode out of the door.

He got ready, walked to the courtyard, and took out the Ryomatu from the Ghost King Cloth Bag.

"Huh~!"

A white light flew out of the dragon horse and landed on the ground to transform into a white and handsome horse, which was comparable to an extraordinary horse, and could only appear in myths and legends.

"Let's go, give me a ride. Li Xiuyuan turned over and commanded.

Ryoma raised his head and neighed, stepped on all four hooves, jumped up, flew directly to the roof, and then stepped on the roof, as if taking off, over the courtyard wall, towards the outside of the county.

Fortunately, it was still early, and there were not many people in the city, and the situation of Ryoma running and flying over was still rarely seen.

Occasionally, when people see it, they may just feel dazzled.

The purpose of Li Xiuyuan's trip is very simple, that is, to go to Lanruo Temple to get rid of demons.

And in order not to worry his parents, he could only go alone, not even bringing a guard.

To deal with the thousand-year-old demon, the guards have become a burden, and there are no fierce beasts or bandits near Lanruo Temple, just demons, and there is no danger to use the guards.

Ryoma was very fast, almost galloping.

It didn't take long for a quaint temple in the distance to be revealed.

It was the end of autumn, and the steps leading to the temple gate were covered with dead grass and leaves, showing a bit of a deserted color, apparently no one had cleaned it for a long time.

After the monks of this temple died and fled, this place has been completely abandoned as Master Kong said, and even the vermilion lacquer gate in front of the temple is slightly half-open at this moment, swinging with the wind from time to time, making a creaking sound.

"Lanruoji Temple"

Three large-scale brass plaques hang on the mountain gate, as new as ever.

"It's really abnormal, not even the insects scream. Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he walked along the steps towards Lanruo Temple.

Entered Lanruo Temple.

The withering in the temple, the air of desolation is even heavier, the meditation room, the corridor is full of dead leaves, weeds have grown, and more importantly, many of the floor tiles on the ground have been destroyed, revealing a pothole, and the roots of some trees do not know where to extend, but they are densely covered on the walls and roofs.

The roots of the trees were everywhere, and it seemed as if the entire temple was enveloped.

"In less than half a year, a temple with a flourishing incense has become like this, which is really unbelievable. Li Xiuyuan said secretly in his heart.

Fortunately, Lanruo Temple had a good foundation before, although it looked like a defeat, but most of the temple's buildings are still intact, and it is indeed a good place for travelers to borrow if you take care of it a little, plus it is next to the avenue, so it is no wonder that pedestrians will continue to attract you.

The people of Guobei County know that there is a demon here, but how can people from other places know about it?

The ignorant traveler entered here, and when he met the dryad at night, it must have been dead or alive.

Although he knew that there were demons and ghosts entrenched here, Li Xiuyuan was not afraid, he had been here, and he was familiar with the road, and soon went towards the treasure hall of the temple.

"I remember that Lanruo Temple is dedicated to a Buddha master, if the gods and Buddhas have spirits, how can they let the tree demon do evil here?" Li Xiuyuan had some doubts in his heart.

The incense Jedi of Lanruo Temple can attract gods and Buddhas to settle in.

But when he entered the treasure hall of Lanruo Temple, his face was slightly condensed, and he immediately understood what was going on.

The golden body of the Buddha who was originally enshrined on the throne has collapsed, leaving only half of the lotus platform, and many broken copper pieces, and there are many traces of artificial knife splitting and axe cutting around.

"It turns out that this place has been looted, and there are thieves who have destroyed the golden body of the Buddha, no wonder the gods of Lanruo Temple did not show up to protect the temple, and without the golden body, it is the place where the gods want to come and do not come, and look at this trace should be the thief in order to take the copper on the golden body of the Buddha. Li Xiuyuan said secretly in his heart.

Copper in ancient times was very expensive, because copper coins were cast in copper, so copper could be exchanged for copper coins directly.

Many money banks can exchange copper for copper coins.

So once the world is in turmoil, the thief's favorite thing is to loot the temple, even better than the big family.

Because temples are usually built outside the city, without the protection of the city, if the monks of the temple cannot protect them, the temple will be ransacked.

This is also why many famous temples will wither, dilapidated, only Shaolin Temple can be inherited without extinguishing, because Shaolin Temple has many warrior monks, Han monk from Shaolin Temple.

There are several martial arts masters in this temple who are sheltered, which thief dares to move around?

"The mural is also gone. ”

After Li Xiuyuan turned around, he thought of the previous relief mural.

But now there are no murals, only a bare wall with dense roots.

"It seems that the mural escaped on its own, and there was no sign of smashing on the walls...... That mural is really not a mortal thing, but Lanruo Temple is dilapidated and falling, plus the demon, anything spiritual has to leave, this is the so-called Qi is exhausted, this Lanruo Temple's Qi is gone, so there is such a catastrophe. ”

"Go to the cemetery of the green plum. Li Xiuyuan said secretly in his heart.

But just as he walked out of the treasure hall, a majestic and loud voice suddenly sounded in the originally silent temple.

"Xiahou Wu, you and I have been fighting swords for seven years, and you have lost for seven years, you yourself understand that it is impossible to be my opponent, why do you still chase after me?"

The man who was called Xiahou Wu immediately replied, "Yan Chixia, you are the world-famous six-door catcher, the most wanted criminal targeted by you, there is no one who does not die under your sword, the green forest heroes in the world say that your sword is the fastest and the most powerful, and it can be called the first sword in the world, but I, Xiahou Wu, are not convinced, why are you the first in the world, and I have to stoop behind you?"

"Brother Xiahou, what is the world's first sword, this is all a false name, since ancient times, there is no first, there is no second, people in the green forest praise me because they are afraid that I will arrest them, so they as the world's first sword, in order to attract the world's martial arts masters to come and compete with me, borrow the sword in your hands to kill me, don't you understand this. ”

Yan Chixia's big voice sounded, and her eardrums hurt a little.

This is a method of luck, and martial arts masters will use it.

"Hugh has to say more, I'm just a swordsman who doesn't understand these twists and turns, look at the sword. Xiahou Wu's voice sounded.

Immediately after that, there was a burst of swords colliding in the direction of the meditation room, the sound was like a violent wind, and the speed was incomparable, and you can imagine how fierce the two people were fighting.

"Yan Chixia, Xiahou Wu?"

Li Xiuyuan's face changed when he heard the conversation between the two, and then he strode towards the direction where the sound of the fight came from without hesitation.

When he felt it, he saw that in the courtyard in front of the meditation room, a burly man, with swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, and a leopard head and ring-eyed man was fighting with a man with slender arms, about thirty or so, and a mediocre appearance.

The two of them held swords in their hands and fought hand-to-hand.

The sword was fast and powerful, and the sound of the iron clash echoed between the collisions, and the sparks flickered.

"It's him ......"

When Li Xiuyuan saw the burly man, he was immediately stunned.

This big man is none other than the swordsman who spit out the sword pills in Guo Beicheng that day, and he also gave him a few jars of wine and formed a good fate.

I didn't expect this burly man to be Yan Chixia.

Last time, he accidentally injured the black tiger and left Guo Beicheng, I don't know where he went, but he didn't expect to appear here today.

Could it be that there is a providence in the underworld that made Yan Chixia come to this Lanruo Temple?

"Yes, Yan Chixia was originally a fast catcher, and she had the sword pill, and she had the demeanor of a sword immortal, if she practiced some more Taoist techniques, wouldn't she be a master who subdued demons and eliminated demons? Li Xiuyuan said secretly in his heart.

However, Yan Chixia's sword pill was stained by the blood of the black tiger, and he couldn't turn it back into a sword pill without being washed by the thunder and fire, it can be said that his ability was greatly reduced, but he could catch the thieves and thieves, and his own martial arts were very strong, and he was already a martial arts master, and the sword in his hand was impenetrable and fierce.

However, Xiahou Wu, who was competing with him, showed a bit of urgency, although the sword in his hand was fast, he could be suppressed by Yan Chixia every time.

It seems to be on par, but in fact, once Xiahou Wu reveals his flaws, it is the time when Yan Chixia wins.

"This Xiahou Wu is also a grandmaster-level master, but his confidence is insufficient, and the sword in his hand lacks a bit of qualitativeness. Li Xiuyuan looked at it and had a conclusion in his heart.

He is also a master at the grandmaster level, so he naturally has this in his eyes.

And such a master fight, it is no longer a simple comparison of strength moves, but a comparison of beliefs, artistic conception, heart, momentum and other things.

If, as I said before, Xiahou Wu lost to Yan Chixia for seven years, then his momentum was already three points weaker, and his heart was also chaotic, how could he win.

"Two, there are evil ghosts and demons in this Lanruo Temple, it is not a place to compare swords, can you give me a face and stop it?"

"And the masters?"

Xiahou Wu and Yan Chixia were all engrossed in the sword competition at the moment, not knowing Li Xiuyuan's arrival, they were taken aback by this voice containing internal strength at this moment, they both immediately chose to accept the recruitment, retreated together, and then looked at Li Xiuyuan vigilantly, they were competing to win or lose, not to fight.

"Hey, is it you, a scholar?" Yan Chixia opened her eyes and said with some surprise.

"Who are you? dare to disturb me to compare swords, and leave quickly, or else you will blame me for the ruthlessness of the sword in my hand. ”

Xiahou Wu didn't know Li Xiuyuan, and when he saw that Li Xiuyuan was a scholar with fine skin and tender flesh, he immediately despised seven points, and immediately shouted angrily.

As a swordsman, it's natural to be in a bad mood when you're disturbed during a competition.

"You can't win against Yan Chixia, why bother stalking, Yan Chixia wants to kill you, it only takes one round, he has the spare strength to compete with you because he doesn't want to kill a human life, if you understand this, you will know that it is very stupid to compete with Yan Chixia, you think that you are on par with Yan Chixia, only one line away, but in fact it is a world of difference. Li Xiu said from afar.

Xiahou Wu said angrily: "Do you despise me? Believe it or not, I killed you." ”

After speaking, he drew his sword and pointed at Li Xiuyuan.

"Draw your sword and face each other, in the eyes of the warrior, this is a provocation, very good, you provoke me next, since you don't believe what I say, then you dare to take a shot from me?"

After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he took out the Tiger Swallowing Golden Spear from the Ghost King's cloth bag, and then greeted.

The dragon horse wandering in the temple neighed, he turned on his horse, and went straight to Xiahou Wu with a spear in his hand.

"Brother Xiahou, don't underestimate this scholar, he is also a martial arts master now, and his martial arts are not below you and me, you have to be careful. Yan Chixia reminded out of kindness.

This reminder obviously shows that Xiahou Wu is not Li Xiuyuan's opponent.

"What, Martial Arts Master? Xiahou Wu was suddenly shocked.
