Chapter 2: Shadow Blade

Liang Chen saw that the official did not chase after him anymore, so he jumped to a safe place behind him, so as not to entangle with the official again. But he soon noticed that something was wrong, and saw that the official's face was pale, his eyes were staring straight ahead, and his thick legs were trembling incessantly, as if something had frightened him.

What made Liang Chen feel even more strange was that the middle-aged man who was standing in the baked cake shop suddenly appeared on the left side of the official, and there was an extra long-handled kitchen knife in his hand. However, all he had in his hand was the handle and half of the blade, and the other half of the blade had fallen to the ground.

"This middle-aged man wouldn't want to sneak up on me and kill me from behind, right? Why did the kitchen knife in his hand split in half?"

I saw a white tiger walking from the other side of the street, the tiger was larger, and its two eyes were staring directly at the official's eyes, and it walked slowly towards the bakery. What's even more bizarre is that there is a psychic aura in the eyes of that white tiger, although its appearance really startles Liang Chen, it is not as savage as other tigers.

Liang Chen had seen a lot of tigers in the past, and he had been attacked by tigers himself, but this white tiger was a little different. Liang Chen couldn't see that this white tiger had any wildness, on the contrary, he also felt that this tiger was still a little human.

However, a tiger is still a tiger after all, no matter how human nature is used, it can't make Liang Chen's heart sink down after all. How could a white tiger appear at random in this ten mile township? Even if there are mountains all around, the tigers in those mountains and forests will not run out casually, right?

The white tiger was only twenty meters away from him now, and Liang Chen didn't dare to move. He could only move his steps backwards little by little, thinking about finding another opportunity to escape later. The white tiger walked slowly towards the official, and suddenly let out a roar of "whoop", and heard a trace of dissatisfaction in the voice, thinking that this big official must have provoked this white tiger something.

The leading official was also trembling with fright, his legs trembled violently, he felt that his back was full of cold sweat, and his body was also damp, but he didn't dare to move even for a moment. It seems that the official has been frightened to the point of incontinence.

"Xuanhu, stop!"

I don't know where a demonic voice came from, and the white tiger stopped and stopped walking towards the official. Then, a girl in a purple dress flew out from behind the white tiger, and the girl pressed her jade hand on the white tiger's body, and the white tiger immediately became docile, and was very obediently attached to the girl's side and looked ahead.

Liang Chen was also stunned by this scene, but he didn't expect that this spiritual white tiger still had an owner, and its owner was actually just a girl.

He carefully looked at the girl standing next to the white tiger, but saw that she was petite, wearing a purple delicate veil on her face, combing her long black and shiny hair, wearing a lilac butterfly hairpin on her head, and wearing a long purple skirt, with a few small agate flowers hanging neatly on the skirt, five on the left and right, forming a different kind of symmetrical beauty. Although she couldn't see the specific face of this girl clearly, her very warm eyes made Liang Chen feel that she was by no means a mortal woman in the world.

Seeing the owner of the white tiger coming, the leading official's nervous heart fell silent slightly, but after he saw the master's face, his heart became a little nervous. He trembled and said to the girl, "Little fairy, you will spare me! If I am eaten by the little tiger you raise, my newborn son will have no father." ”

"Whether I can spare you or not depends on the meaning of the person next to me. ”

The girl smiled softly, flashed several silver knives in her right hand, and gently stroked the back of the blade with her left hand. Then she gently flicked the flying knife in her hand, and with a "bang", the flying knife was inserted into the wooden floor in front of the official impartially, and a long hole appeared in the wooden floor.

The official took a step back in fright, he just thought that this girl was really going to kill him, but he didn't expect that it was just to intimidate him. He turned his gaze for help to Liang Chen, who didn't dare to move on the right, hoping that he could say something for himself.

Liang Chen saw that the official asked for help from him, and then looked at the warm eyes of the girl on the other side, and knew in his heart what he meant. He paused, and said with a little anger: "You are also a human being, just ask for money from people at will, and you have to hurt people! I am just a passerby, and I have no grievances with you, why do you want to harm me? That girl has already taught you a lesson, and I don't want to entangle with you anymore, for the time being, let you go!"

"Since the person next to me said it, let you go. Then I'll give you a chance, and next time I'll let me see you hurt people, but it's not as simple as releasing a flying knife!"

"Okay, okay. Thank you for your forgiveness, I'll leave now!" As he spoke, the senior official threw a few pieces of silver at Liang Chen's side, ran to his carriage like a dog, and left the scene with his men and horses at a rapid pace.

Liang Chen glanced at the broken silver on the ground, and didn't reach out to pick it up, after all, he is not the kind of person who is greedy for small gains, although he is a little hungry now, he can fill his stomach as long as he eats a little baked cake. As for the little piece of silver that the leading official threw at him, it was not enough to make a tooth sacrifice!

When the middle-aged man saw that the people from the government were far away, he was a little scared in his heart. All those who should have run have run away, and the rest should be unlucky! He threw the half of the hilt of the knife in his hand on the ground, and then raised his two arms high, and shouted in a loud voice: "I surrender! I surrender! Little fairy, let me go!"

Seeing that the middle-aged man was also frightened, the girl suddenly had an urge to laugh, she stroked another flying knife that had not yet been thrown, and chuckled: "Don't be afraid, I won't harm you." As long as you give the person next to you a piece of baked cake, I naturally won't entangle with you more!"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he was also surprised in his heart, how did she know that she didn't give this little thing called Hanako Baked Cake? Could it be that she has a special function? But now is not the time to think about this, the most important thing is to save his life, he picked up a large piece of baked cake from the table, folded it neatly, put it in a plastic bag, and handed it to him with his hand.

Liang Chen took the baked cake and touched it, well, it was still hot. Regardless of the girl next to her, she couldn't help the excitement of the smell of the baked cake, and she took a big bite of it. After eating this baked cake, Liang Chen's first feeling was that his body was full of energy, as if he had been resurrected with full blood all of a sudden, and there was no feeling of dizziness.

Seeing Liang Chen's gobbling up, the girl thought that his eating was very funny, and she actually covered her veil and secretly laughed a few times. However, her lips were covered by a veil, and Liang Chen naturally couldn't detect any of her expressions, he continued to chew the crumbs in his mouth with relish, and even closed his eyes and began to savor the taste of the baked cakes.

"I see you're hungry too, so why don't I buy you another biscuit." ”

Seeing that Liang Chen was eating deliciously, the girl felt that his eating was particularly good-looking, and felt "pity", so she took out a small silver nugget from her sleeve and handed it to the middle-aged man standing by the table.

The middle-aged man didn't dare to delay, how could he dare not listen to the little fairy's words? As soon as he took the silver, he quickly took out a six-inch large baked cake from the table and handed it directly to Liang Chen's hand.

Liang Chen's eyes were closed, but his nose was not idle. He took the middle-aged man's big baked cake, sniffed it deeply with his nose, and then carefully bit down on a tender piece of roasted cake and chewed it.

"There's still a lot of time to eat the pancakes! Don't be in a hurry! Put the pancakes in a bag and come with me. The girl suddenly pointed at Liang Chen and shouted.

"Okay!" Liang Chen thought of the girl's ruthlessness just now, so he took the girl's words as an order, and agreed to it.

He put the baked cake in his hand back into the bag and walked towards the girl, but when he saw the white tiger sitting next to the girl, he didn't dare to take a step forward.

"Don't worry! The white tiger will not hurt good people!"

After hearing this, Liang Chen put down the burden in his heart and walked straight towards the girl. When he approached the girl, he only smelled a light fragrance, which was not like the strong perfume or rouge that Liang Chen had smelled in the past, but more like a fragrance from nature, similar to a certain floral fragrance, but he couldn't tell what kind of flower it was.

Seeing that Liang Chen listened to her words very much, the girl wanted to laugh a little in her heart, she pointed to the white tiger sitting next to her in front of the young man and said, "I bought you baked cakes, even if it is your benefactor." I see that you are very honest, you come with me, I can keep you from dying. If you don't, you'll have to pay me back the money for the baked cakes, or you'll keep it for my little tiger's dinner." ”

The girl's words are very light, colorless and tasteless. Liang Chen pursed his lips, thought about his current embarrassing situation left and right, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll go with you." But don't bluff me, if you lie to me, I won't let you go. ”

Liang Chen's last sentence shook the girl's heart gently, I didn't expect that the young man who looked so honest would speak so sophisticatedly, and it seemed that he was also worthy of eating this baked cake!

"Don't worry! Follow my little fairy to keep you from dying!

Then she shouted to the middle-aged man at the table, "Even if I let you go all the way today! If I meet you next time, be careful!"

The middle-aged man's hanging heart finally let go, and when he saw that the little fairy didn't threaten him anymore, he bowed and said, "Thank you little fairy for letting me go! I will never do such a thing again! I won't!"

Listening to the big man's slightly frightened voice, Liang Chen had an indescribable feeling in his heart, he didn't expect that a girl who looked so weak would be so powerful in the eyes of others!

Then he chuckled at Liang Chen and said, "Come with me! I'll take you to a good place!"

Looking at the white tiger who got up and yawned a few times, Liang Chen's heart began to tremble a little again, but with the spread of natural fragrance next to him, Liang Chen's walking still became very smooth, and there was not much panic reaction.

Following the girl for about half an hour, Liang Chen passed through this small ten-mile township, walked through a bumpy stone road, and came to the bottom of a towering mountain peak. Approaching the peak, you can see that the mountain range is wrapped in greenery, from top to bottom and inside and out, there are patches of woods, and there is a light mountain fog everywhere, and there is not a trace of earthly smell.

Liang Chen's heart was a little strange, he thought that this girl lived in Shili Township, but he didn't expect her to lead him into this white mist-shrouded mountain, if he didn't guess wrong, she should live in this mountain.

Entering this deep mountain, Liang Chen saw a different scene. It was a scene he had never seen before, the woods were full of greenery, birds were singing, and there was a fresh mist everywhere, and he didn't feel the complexity and noise of the world. Liang Chen enjoyed the beautiful scenery here, the mundane places in the past had made his heart feel irritable, and now the natural breath brought by the deep mountains made his heart a little more refreshing and comfortable.

The girl in the purple skirt has been walking in front with the white tiger, now she wants to know Liang Chen's origin and identity, although Liang Chen's appearance and temperament look very honest, but people can't look good, she still has to figure out his situation. So the girl walked to Liang Chen's side and asked him with a smile: "You came to this Shili Township, don't your parents know?"

"I don't have parents, I'm just here to eat. Liang Chen said calmly.

"Do you have a name or a surname, and I don't know what to call you after being with you for so long?" the girl said softly.

"My name is Liang Chen, what's your name?" Liang Chen suddenly felt a sense of intimacy, for more than ten years, few people asked for his name, let alone how to call him.

"Just call me Yanling. Everyone else calls me a little fairy, and you can call me a little fairy. The girl said kindly.

"Yanling, this name is quite nice. By the way, the trick you used just now is quite powerful, who taught you?" Liang Chen felt that the name Yanling had a deep meaning, presumably this girl was definitely from an extraordinary background.

"I learned this trick myself. What you saw just now was not the actual flying knife, but the void light and shadow blade that I had blurred after casting the spell. Although this move does not have a huge amount of damage, it is powerful enough to scare ordinary mortals away. The girl said in a deep voice.

"Shadow Blade, are you a cultivator?" Liang Chen looked at the girl in front of him in surprise, he seemed to be such a weak figure, but he didn't expect it to be a cultivator with a unique skill. Shadow Blade, this is clearly the immortal art in the mouths of the Jianghu people, mortals can hear but can't reach, today, it can be regarded as let him meet.

"That's nature. If you come with me, you'll know. The girl turned into a path surrounded by hidden bushes, and her steps were much quicker than before.

After Liang Chen acquiesced in the identity of this girl, although he didn't know what her sect was or what her spells were, he now knew that she was by no means an ordinary mortal. Such a result made Liang Chen very relieved. With a slight pause, Liang Chen followed closely behind the white tiger and disappeared into the bushes shrouded in the vast mountain mist.
