Jiangnan in a broad sense refers to Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Lianghu and other places, but the essence of Jiangnan is the six prefectures.

And from Guangdong to the south of the Yangtze River, divide the waterway and the dry road, take the waterway can go down to the sea from Fuzhou, transfer to Zhejiang from the Qiantang River to Hangzhou, take the dry road, you have to pass through Jiangxi, Hui and other places, in terms of speed, naturally the waterway is faster, but Kou Li took the dry road.

At the junction of Hunan and Jiangxi, the yellow sand is all over the sky, surrounded by mountains, undulating hills, and there are more and more villages and settlements distributed along the way, which is completely different from the scene of hundreds of miles of uninhabited people in Guangdong.

But even so, there are few people who are willing to travel at night, and the knife bandits, also known as the local bandits, like to rob the merchants who take the night road.

Before nightfall, Kou Li rushed to a ruined temple, according to the map, this is still a hundred miles away from the nearest city, Tu Kou is nothing to him, but he doesn't want to reveal his identity, after all, this trip he is traveling privately, no longer the head of Fengfu, but a scholar returning home.

Entering the temple, I swept my eyes, but found that someone had arrived in advance, one was a big man pulling a cart, and the other was a father and daughter, coarse linen clothes, trouser legs tied with strings, carrying two large and small bags, it seems that they have been walking the rivers and lakes all year round.

"Excuse me. ”

Kou Li is now dressed as a scholar, with a square hat on his head, a book basket on his back, and his face is white and harmless, revealing a gentle atmosphere.

Seeing that the person who came didn't look like a bad person, and they greeted each other as soon as they met, the nervous nerves of the three people in the temple also relaxed.

"It's all outsiders, there is still some firewood here, take it to roast, this ghost weather, hot people in the daytime, can freeze to death at night," Dahan said boldly.

"Thank you, brother," Kou Li smiled, accepting the other party's kindness.

The father and daughter, the father was old and had a half-white beard, but the little girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and her big eyes looked at Kou Li curiously.

"Scholar, don't you look like a local?" asked the big man.

"I was born in Jiangning Mansion, and the township test is imminent, so I have to go back and prepare. ”

"It turned out to be a showman," Dahan was in awe, although Xiucai may not have a high status, but he also belongs to a cultural person.

Kou Li smiled, leaned over to the fire, took a book from the bookcase, and read it with relish.

Three fires were burning in this temple, and the wooden sticks made a 'crackling' sound from time to time, and the little girl was a little drowsy, but the old father, with a sad face, seemed to have something unspeakable.

After about half an hour, another figure broke into the temple, "Oh, I finally found a foothold, and the luck is good." ”

This loud roar not only scared the little girl awake, but even the three men changed color a little.

This man has an ordinary face, a black mole on his chin, half-new and half-old, and carries a wooden sword on his back, but he is not a monk or a monk, and he is dressed as a man.

That's fine, the key is that the other party's leg cloth is a piece of black blood, scattering bursts of fishy gas.

Dahan subconsciously held the Pu knife on the board car, although Gandi is more peaceful than Guangdong, but it is only relative.

"Hey, don't get me wrong, I slaughtered two dogs during the day and spilled blood. ”

The young man's eyes swept around, and he saw that the father and daughter and the big man were all nervous, and only the scholar was calm, so he sat down without seeing.

"Zhu Lang, what do you call a scholar?"

"Under the surname Kou. ”

"Kou, the thief of Kou, it's unlucky for a scholar to use this surname. ”

"It's not," Kou Li laughed to himself, or he would have dealt with the three sects and nine streams, the big thieves and giant bandits every day.

Zhu Lang's tone is bold, and he is very talkative, all-encompassing, and seems to have been to many places.

"Brother Zhu, what is the way of this peachwood sword?"

The peachwood sword on his back was casually placed on the ground by him, dark wood, at least half as long as the Taoist spell caster, and almost as long as an ordinary big sword.

Zhu Lang smiled mysteriously: "Ha, this sword is a good thing, slash demons on the top, sneak on the bottom, in case there is a fox spirit who wants to suck the yang energy of the scholar, maybe I can help it." ”

Kou Li's eyes flashed: "Then thank you." ”

As the night deepened, this Zhu Lang also turned his head and shouted, and the few people present were the most relaxed for him.

Kou Li also closed the book, and the content of the book was naturally not the Four Books and Five Classics, but the contrast of dense Sanskrit Chinese characters.

Since he got the black robe, the two exercises translated from the robe, in addition to the turtle and snake channeling technique, the other Sanskrit text is the one in front of him after the translation of the person, according to the translated text, it should be called the four false combinations.

It's just that whether it is boxing or alchemy, it is not something that can be practiced with a secret book, not to mention that the tantric methods are particularly bizarre, and the difference between the words of Sanskrit Chinese characters can change greatly.

Fortunately, after Kou Li practiced the Divine Eye, he knew that the essence of Tantra was not in the text, but outside the text, and after these days of speculation, he had already gained something.

This should also be the ability to transform the body through Sanskrit chanting, and the rhythm in Sanskrit is the key, as for whether it is complete and not bad golden body, this is not sure.

It's a pity that since the return of the Japanese slave country, Wuzitu seems to be asleep, otherwise through his special ability, he can already try to cultivate.

His eyes swept over the sleeping Zhu Lang, this person gave him a very peculiar feeling, his steps were frivolous, his walking was loose, and he was not even as good as the old father, but he relied on it, a person of the Immortal Dao?

Kou Li's ears moved, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and it seemed that he would soon know.

But in a moment, the slightest sound of footsteps sounded, the sound of breaking the air sounded, the old father opened his eyes violently, bright as a star, like a crab bow and shrimp body, 'brush' jumped down, flashed arrows, yin and crisp, when the first person was directly smashed into the fire, sparks splashed, and the screams exploded.

"It's so ruthless, you still won't let go of my old life!" the old father was furious.

"Shoulder to shoulder, no money!!"

The figures were crowded, the shadows of the knives flickered, and the six bandits touched them at some point, holding steel knives and short crossbows, and their faces were vicious.

The big man who pulled the car was already sleeping unsteadily, and he woke up when he heard the movement, and his heart sank when he heard the sound.

Sure enough, the three bandits besieged the big man and sent three of them to the two sides.

"Brother, I know Niu Sidao, and he is also a knowledgeable person, can I buy a life?"

"Hmph, Grandpa Niu Sidao's face doesn't need to be given!"

Dahan's heart sank, Niu Sidao was the largest knife bandit within a radius of 500 miles, and he didn't even give him face, what was the other party's whereabouts.

After a sweep, although the old man played a good fist, in order to protect his daughter, he couldn't use it at all, and his own knife skills were shallow, let alone an opponent.

As for the scholar, he seemed to be frightened stupid, and he didn't move, and the last person slept like a dead pig!

was distracted, was wiped by the other party, blood splattered, and suddenly his face turned pale, and he had no power to fight back.

As for the remaining two bandits, one flicked his wrist, and the crossbow arrow shot out, instantly shooting through Zhu Lang's abdomen, and the other slashed at Kou Li, who knew that the luck was not good, there was an extra wooden stick under his feet, and he slipped and knelt down, and smashed directly to the ground.

And that Zhu Lang screamed miserably, his eyes bulged, and with a wave of his hand, the peachwood sword turned into a red streamer, and in an instant, the four big men fell to the ground with steel knives at the same time, and blood sprayed wildly on their wrists.

"A few thieves, they actually intercepted the thieves halfway," Zhu Lang said weakly, covering his abdomen, blood flowed, and without the threat of steel knives, the four of them were quickly knocked to the ground by their father one by one.

This old father's word fist has been practiced to the point where it is as energetic as spring thunder, and it can be regarded as a good hand, but everyone looked at Zhu Lang dumbfounded, this is the legendary flying sword technique?

But what a picture of this sword immortal who is going to die!

"I'll have some medical skills in the next meeting, if Brother Zhu doesn't mind, I'll help you take a look. ”

"Quite don't mind!" Zhu Lang said with a sudden eye.

Kou Li examined the wound, but fortunately he didn't shoot any viscera vital points, first took out a roll of gold needles from the bookcase, burned it with the light of the fire, sealed the blood and closed his breath, and then used a steel knife to cut off the arrow tail arrow and pull it out.

"Ahh

This action, not to mention that it is smooth, but also neat, the scream of Zhu Lang has just come out, and Kou Li has already smeared the medicine.

Kou Li glanced at the peachwood sword that was still rolling around in mid-air, and suddenly smiled: "When I was studying, I heard that the sword is psychic and has the ability to protect the master, how come it doesn't work when it comes to Brother Zhu." ”

"Hey, the level is not enough, and occasionally it will fail," Zhu Lang held his breath.
