The horses' hooves stamped, and a man and a woman rode side by side on the official road. The man was a sturdy man, carrying a strange black knife on his back, wearing a shabby kudzu cloth robe, and a patch of healthy skin on his left shoulder. And although the woman's clothes are simple, she does not hide her outstanding appearance, and the flying green silk when driving the horse makes her look like a sassy temperament of a chivalrous woman.

The bumps on the horse's back did not give He Yi any discomfort, on the contrary, it made him feel a lot.

When I was young, I liked to watch martial arts movies and martial arts novels, and I always longed for the day when I could fight like the chivalrous man in the book, and be happy with revenge. Now that he has come to this world, the rivers and lakes of martial arts are within reach, but he has gone beyond the scope of martial arts.

Jiang Cen drove his horse to watch the road, secretly looked at him from time to time, and after confirming that he was not angry, he hesitated and asked carefully: "Brother He, when will you teach me martial arts?"

He Yi didn't want to think about it and replied: "You can go to Sanrong Village in the afternoon, your house has not lived in one for two years, there must be a lot of dust, and when you are done cleaning, I will teach you." ”

She nodded with a hum, the joy in her eyes hard to hide.

The horses galloped, and more than 200 miles of road gradually disappeared behind them.

It is said that the wanderer is cowardly in his hometown, Jiang Cen's family is ruined, he has been in exile for two years, and there is an empty mansion left, and his feelings are very complicated.

The name of the Three Banyan Town comes from the Three Banyan Village, and the name of the Three Banyan Village comes from the three thousand-year-old banyan trees in the Jiang family's mansion.

More than ten miles away, He Yi had already seen the big banyan tree like a canopy umbrella. After approaching along the dirt avenue, the three ancient trees that covered dozens of zhang and were more than ten zhang high looked particularly magnificent.

He hadn't seen a more beautiful and magnificent scene, and there were many taller and stronger trees on the way to Zhonggu City. But at this time, being in the world, everything is small, and naturally I have a different experience.

After seeing the three ancient trees, Jiang Cen's horse ran slower and slower, and finally stopped outside the town.

Looking at the tall and strong ancient trees, she seemed to see the scene of the bloody river on that night two years ago. At that time, her brother was covering her mouth, and the two of them were soaking in the pond, only their heads were hidden in the aquatic plants by the pool, watching the hideous figures sway around under the light of the lights, bringing up gushing blood shadows.

He Yi saw that her body was trembling, her eyes were full of tears, and she felt a little unbearable. touched her lightly and said, "The deceased is gone, don't be too sad, go back and have a look, and pay respects to your parents and relatives." ”

Jiang Cen hummed softly, wiped the corner of his eyes and pinched the horse's belly, and the horse trotted towards the mansion.

Chivalry walks the world, often attracting the attention of the people. The two entered Sanrong Town, and many people cast curious glances.

Jiang Cen was originally the daughter of the owner of the Three Banyan Village, and she is also a daughter here. However, in the past two years, her body has grown up, her appearance has changed a lot, and she has suffered a lot when she has been displaced from other places, and she has no longer the delicate image of the eldest lady, so along the way, no one can see that she is Miss Jiang who should have died two years ago.

The horses paced for a quarter of an hour, and in the shade of the trees at the end of the long wall, they saw the gate of the Three Banyan Villages, whose splendor had disappeared and was submerged in dust.

There was a large tree growing in the yard, and the canopy stretched out to cover the gate and the street. The eaves of the gate were covered with dust and fallen leaves, and the dirty appearance showed that no one had cleaned them for the past two years. There was dust in the crack in the door, and it seemed like it hadn't been pushed open in a long time.

Although the three gilded characters of "Three Banyan Village" are also covered with dust, they are still very clear. However, the two paper lanterns hanging next to them were only a skeleton, and the paper hung diagonally, as if it would turn into powder and go away with the wind when the wind blew.

There is not a single pedestrian on the road near Sanrongzhuang, and the wind has swept the leaves, and it looks so desolate.

Seeing that Jiang Cen was standing still, He Yi turned over and jumped down, walked up the steps and pushed open the heavy door.

As soon as the door opened, a thick layer of dust sprinkled down, and He Yi, who did not use his extraordinary strength, was suddenly sprinkled with ash all over his face.

Look inside, the place of the Three Banyan Village is very large, the open space paved with stone slabs is more than one acre, and the houses of one size or small are scattered everywhere, there are more than ten at a glance, and the front and back occupy no less than three hundred zhang of land.

The banyan tree is not easy to lose its leaves, but after two years, a thick layer has been stacked on the stone floor, and the appearance of the stone slab is completely invisible in many places.

Jiang Cen dismounted in silence and walked towards the big house at the front of the fallen leaves. Dozens of feet away, but she walked for a long time. He Yi looked behind her thin body in the big manor, small and lonely.

Pushing open the door, the thick dust made her cough for a long time, and her tears flowed out of her eyes.

In the room, the yellow rosewood tables and chairs are full of desolation of time. She walked in, her slender fingers caressing the once familiar place, leaving a trail of mourning.

Out of the house, the two walked along the stone road to the back of the Three Banyan Village. On the way, He Yi saw mottled dark red bloodstains and sword scars carved on the pillars.

There are three large banyan trees, one near the gate, one not far from the wing, and one in the ancestral hall.

Jiang Cen hesitated, and after going around many places, he finally pushed open the door of the ancestral hall.

The wooden door here was much cleaner than the others, and when the door was opened, the dusty long case inside and the residual smell of incense made both of them stunned for a moment.

Jiang Cen took two steps forward, and saw that there was a tablet of his father, mother and uncle on the ancestral shrine, and he was in a complicated mood for a while, crying and calling twice, and knelt in front of the case.

It is reasonable to say that the body of the deceased was cleaned up, but this Sanrong Village, which has been abandoned for two years, is full of dust, and it is a little strange that this ancestral shrine has been cleaned clean.

He Yi spread out his efforts to find out if there were any other people in the village.

After a while, he did not find him, but he noticed that a pedestrian passed by the gate, saw two horses and the open gate, and fled quickly and suspiciously.

Here, it seems to have become a "ghost house" in the eyes of the people.

"Father, mother, my daughter is back. Jiang Cen wiped his tears and whimpered: "Brother...... My brother was killed by a sea monster, and after that, only my daughter was left alone. But you don't have to worry, my daughter meets the gods, and the gods will teach me skills, so that I can become a very powerful immortal. Father, mother, forgive your daughter for being unfilial, and I can't avenge you. The daughter wants to be a god who saves lives and helps the wounded like Brother He, and she can't kill and take revenge because of her own grievances. Father, mother, rest in peace, your daughter will definitely bare the lintel and not let the Jiang family be ashamed. ”

It was already early afternoon, and neither of them had yet to eat lunch. He Yi was worried that her girl's family would not be able to bear it, so when she finished talking to her parents, he pulled her up, closed the door of the ancestral shrine again, and left the manor.

The two healthy horses were led to the stable in the village, and the two walked to the town market.

There are a lot of pedestrians in the market, and He Yi's hearing is far more than anyone else's, and he captures some conversations while walking.

"I heard Lao Wu say that the door of the Yin Mansion was opened this afternoon, and I don't know which stupid and bold one dared to enter. ”

"I also heard Lao Wu say this, and he also said that there are two horses at the door, which is estimated to be on the rivers and lakes and the third ...... In the Yin House, there are old people. ”

"Hehe, those people in the rivers and lakes boast of their high martial arts, and they are not afraid of heaven and earth, but if they really see the hell, they run faster than thieves one by one!"

"Don't talk nonsense, isn't it good to frighten children? Although that house is a little gloomy, it's not really any ghosts, you talk nonsense, beware of being heard by the people of the underground Jiang family, coming to you!"

"Bah, you're going to die, you stinky scholar! Talk nonsense, I'm worried that Lao Tzu will slaughter you with a pig-killing knife!"

The bearded butcher, who guarded the last piece of pork leg bone that had not been sold, angrily slapped the thick chopping board and intimidated the cloth-clothed scholar who passed by with his burden and interjected. The scholar pursed his lips with a hint of timidity, and walked quickly away from the pork stall.

He Yi took Jiang Cen to sit down in a noodle restaurant, ordered two bowls of green vegetable noodles, and asked casually: "I said boss, I just heard someone talk about the ghost house on the street, I don't know what the reason is?"

The middle-aged man urged his mother-in-law and replied with a smile: "Guest officer, you are a foreigner, right? The Jiang family's Sanrong Village, two years ago, I don't know what crime it suffered, and more than 80 people up and down died overnight. I also took a look at it at the time, and it was really miserable. At that time, we were grateful for Master Jiang's kindness, and we all spontaneously exerted our efforts to bury those corpses. At first, everyone didn't believe it, but after a long time, more and more people have seen ghost fires and heard ghosts crying, and we all believe it.

Some people say that the ghost crying is because the Jiang family died a miserable death and had a lot of resentment, so they didn't want to go to the underworld to reincarnate and wander the world.

People are afraid of ghosts, and we are more and more afraid to approach the big manor. The more outrageous the talk of ghosts is, and now, even ghosts eat people.

Little brother, just listen to it, but you don't have to worry too much. ”

He Yi smiled and nodded in thanks, having his own thoughts in his heart.

There are many people who hear ghosts crying and see ghost fires, and it is probably that there is something really pretending to be a ghost. If there were real ghosts, he could be sure that there were none. Under the shroud of mental power, no matter how faint the resentful soul is, there is nothing to hide. Although there is resentment in the Three Banyan Village, it is very weak, and it is not enough to form resentment.

After a while, the proprietress brought two bowls of hot green vegetable noodles.

Ever since he heard someone say that he was in the Yin House, Jiang Cen's mood has been very low, and now although he has no signs of crying, his expression is also stiff.

After eating the noodle soup, it was close to dusk, so I bought two steamed buns for Jiang Cen to eat at night, and the two returned to the Three Banyan Village.

Closing the door with his backhand, He Yi said to her: "You go and clean the residence, and tomorrow morning, I will start teaching you something." It's up to you whether you want to open the door to others about your return. ”

Jiang Cen Mumu answered and walked to the small courtyard where he used to live.

After she left, He Yi took out the mixed spirit jade found in the sea last night and put it in the open space in the corner of the wall, and then turned out the Guhong Sword and waved it continuously, cutting the jade into pieces of jade bricks and stones one inch thick.

After he cut it, Jiang Cen slowly walked to the door of the small courtyard. Shrouded in mental strength, he shook his head helplessly, his body moved, and he entered the courtyard faster than her.

With a squeak, she pushed open the courtyard door, and was stunned when she saw He Yi's figure, and then watched him blankly pick up stone slabs, and kept throwing out jade bricks in her empty hands, covering the original stone slabs on the path.

After paving the path, there was still some jade left, so he simply went into the house and laid seven or eight pieces on the floor of the room before it was all used.

"These jade stones will enhance the concentration of spiritual energy, which is helpful for cultivation. In the future, this courtyard will be the place where you cultivate. ”
