Sun Xu and the three of them made a little preparation, each chose three good horses, and left Jinhua.

Although Ah Yi and Ah Shi are women, they have also walked around before, and their equestrian skills are good.

At noon, the three of them used some dry food and water, rested for a while, and headed north.

In the evening, I walked to a mountain forest.

Ah Shijiu walked around Jinhua, he recognized this place, and said to the two: "Xianggong, sister, after this mountain forest, it is the territory of Guobei County." It's just that it's a little late, and I don't know if I can arrive before the county closes. ”

Ah Yi listened, and looked at Sun Xu lightly, "Xianggong, are we going to rest here, or continue to hurry?"

Sun Xu stopped, and before he could answer, he heard the leaves suddenly swaying and rustling in this mountain forest. As if frightened, the birds fluttered their wings and flew away from the forest.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Ah Yi let go of his divine sense to investigate, and said solemnly: "What a heavy sword qi." There appear to be two swordsmen fighting nearby. ”

Ah Shi saw that Ah Yi could know the situation nearby without looking at it, and felt that it was a little funny, so he walked to Sun Xu's side and begged: "Xianggong, how did my sister's kung fu come about, is it good to teach Ah Shi?"

When Sun Xu heard this, he flicked it lightly on the top of her head, and said angrily: "Dao art is different from magic, it is a method that all people who have attained enlightenment will use." I have written all these on the silk for you, and how can you be so careless that you don't even read the silk? ”

After speaking, Sun Xu looked at Ah Yi with a little inquiry.

Seeing this, Ah Yi said helplessly: "Ah Shi has never liked to read, and the tricks she practiced were all taught to her by her concubine. Even so, the concubine forced her to learn. ”

Sun Xu couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, and said to Ah Shi: "Ah Yi told me yesterday, I thought she was forcing you, but I couldn't think of ......."

At this moment, with two roars, several thick trees in the mountain forest fell in response. Two figures flew out of the forest, fighting in the air with swords in hand, and the sound of clanging was endless.

Sun Xu stared at it and saw that the sword moves of the two people fighting each other were fast and sharp, and when the swords intersected, there were occasional bursts of sparks collapsing.

After a while, Sun Xu also saw the faces of the two clearly.

A tall man with a leopard's head and eyes, an iron-faced beard, and a strange appearance, carrying a black box on his back and holding a broadsword. The man who was holding him was no more than thirty years old, dressed in black, exuding a sinister aura all over his body, and his eyes were full of rebelliousness.

The two fought each other for a long time, and their sword qi was rampant. In the end, the black-clothed swordsman was hit by a sword qi and injured his arm.

The two of them then fell to the ground separately. The black-clothed swordsman was also tough, but he was injured but still pointed his sword at the other party.

The bearded swordsman looked at the black-clothed swordsman with blood on his arm and an unwilling face, sighed, and said, "Brother Xiahou, I have resigned and retired last year, whether it is the rivers and lakes or the court, it has nothing to do with me. Why bother pestering Yan for a false name?"

The black-clothed swordsman gritted his teeth and shouted without thinking: "Yan Chixia, if I lose to you this time, it doesn't mean that I will never be able to beat you! Whether it is three years, seven years, or ten years, I will wait! Sooner or later, the number one title in the world will be mine!"

After speaking, he quickly put away his sword and left.

Looking at the departing black-clothed swordsman, Yan Chixia smiled bitterly, sighed again, and muttered, "Fame and fortune are tiring." You are also a hero, and you can't escape the pain of fame and fortune. ”

After sighing, he slowly turned his head to look at Sun Xu and the others on the side, a little puzzled.

He has been in officialdom for many years, so he can naturally see that Sun Xu is not like ordinary people.

Ah Shi listened to the conversation between the two, and suddenly remembered the person Sun Xu asked her to inquire about before, and whispered: "Xianggong, could this be the person you asked Ah Shi to investigate? No wonder I couldn't find him, it turned out that he was hiding here." ”

Sun Xu smiled without saying a word, turned over and dismounted neatly, came to Yan Chixia in three or two steps, and arched his hand: "Yan catches the head, look up for a long time." ”

Yan Chixia also arched her hand and said: "I am no longer a person in the officialdom. Unknown name?"

Sun Xu said with a smile: "My surname is Sun Mingxu, a person from Jinhua Mansion. ”

Yan Chixia listened, and there was no impression in her mind, so she politely replied: "It turned out to be Mr. Sun." ”

Sun Xu pointed in the direction where the black-clothed swordsman had left and asked, "Yan Daxia, with your ability, if you open the sword box behind you, the swordsman won't be able to last a few moves in your hands, why don't you use it?"

Yan Chixia was shocked when she heard this, her brows were slightly locked at the moment, her eyes narrowed as she looked at Sun Xu, and the sword in her hand that was just about to be unsheathed stopped.

He has only been in possession of this Xuanyuan Divine Sword for a year, but because he hides the Excalibur in the sword box on weekdays, many people don't know about it. How did this young man know?

Looking at Yan Chixia's somewhat defensive eyes, Sun Xu suddenly felt that his question was a bit Meng Lang, and quickly explained: "I have studied Taoism for a few years, and when I saw the box behind the hero, I knew that there was a divine weapon inside. ”

Yan Chixia was suspicious of this, and immediately used her divine sense to investigate. The result made him a little surprised, the two women not far away actually had innate qi, and the young man in front of him made him unable to see through. Then he said: "It turned out to be a fellow practitioner." ”

Seeing that Sun Xu returned the salute, Yan Chixia explained: "Fellow Daoist, that Xiahou swordsman is a sword-loving person. If we defeat him in a long battle, he will be angry and strive to be strong, and he will study his swordsmanship, and if I defeat the enemy in one move, then he will surely feel that there is no hope in this life, and he will die with his sword. ”

Sun Xu suddenly realized.

He never understood that although Yan Chixia had not yet reached the peak of Taoism at the beginning, she was already very human, how could she fight with Xiahou Swordsman for so long? It turned out that Yan Chixia had been letting Xiahou swordsmen.

But a swordsman is always a swordsman, and if he has not entered the Tao, he will never be able to withstand the blow of gods and demons.

Sun Xu sighed in his heart for a moment, and then asked, "What are Yan Daxia's plans?"

Yan Chixia put the sword back into its sheath, tied the sword behind her, and said, "I heard that there is a Lanruo Temple in Guobei County, which has been uninhabited for a long time, and I plan to live there. ”

Sun Xu smiled: "Sun is also going to Lanruo Temple, isn't it better to go?"

Yan Chixia glanced behind him twice and asked, "Why did Daoist friends go to Lanruo Temple?" I heard that it has been abandoned for a long time, and there are some unclean things. Bringing two female dependents to go, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient. ”

When Ah Shi heard this, she was immediately a little dissatisfied, kicked the horse's belly, stepped forward and said coldly: "Bearded, do you look down on us?"

Yan Chixia was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and she didn't say anything anymore, and agreed to Sun Xu's invitation.

Because Fang Cai Yan Chixia and Xiahou swordsman had been fighting for a long time, at this time the afterglow of the sunset had receded, Sun Xu said: "It's getting late, why don't you rest in this forest for one night and go again tomorrow?"

Although Yan Chixia was not afraid of rushing to the night, it was inconvenient to see Sun Xu with two female dependents. So he agreed, and led them into the woods.

After walking for a while, I came to a clearing, but it was Yan Chixia's resting place before. There was also a fire burning on the ground, and beside it was a stiff bow, a quiver, and many other things for everyday use.
