After the two had eaten, they looked at the sky, and Dongfang Yu said, "Okay, brother Ning, we have to go faster, it might rain."
"It's raining?" Ning Caichen, who was lying on the lawn and was still reminiscing about the delicious food just now, was slightly taken aback when he heard this, looked at the sky, the blue sky, and expressed doubts. Does it look like it's going to rain
Dongfang Yu, without explaining, got up and walked. After all, the miraculous ability displayed by Dongfang Yu is still very convincing. After eating, Ning Caichen also felt some strength. With his luggage, he followed Dongfang Yu and walked quickly.
Sure enough, after walking for about an hour, when the stele of Guobei County was already seen in the distance, there was thunder in the sky, and at the same time, thick dark clouds floated from nowhere. Seeing this, Ning Caichen I admire Dongfang Yu even more. It really is a clever plan. If I didn't quicken my pace, I might become a drowned rat.
Near the county seat of Guobei County, there was a small thatched pavilion on the road. Dongfang Yu and Ning Caichen hid in the pavilion. It didn't take long before the downpour came down. Ning Caichen was very happy to see the big raindrops. , I kept saying words of admiration and reverence.
Seeing Ning Caichen's appearance, Dongfang Yuxin secretly smiled. In the original book, Ning Caichen got wet in the rain and couldn't see anything clearly. Naturally, the shopkeeper of the inn refused to hand over the money. Give it to him, so he had no choice but to stay in Lanruo Temple. Now, the account book is not wet, maybe he will not go to Lanruo Temple again.
To put it bluntly, like the original book, humans and ghosts love each other, and in the end Nie Xiaoqian was reincarnated. In the end, she still ended up as a lover who could not get married. Today, I changed his fate, and he no longer needs to stay in Lanruo Temple. There is no need to start a love that is destined to be a tragedy. Perhaps, it may not be a good thing for him.
At this moment, there was a burst of dense and panicked footsteps, and immediately, seven or eight people were seen running towards this direction in a panic. Behind them, a swordsman with a sword was chasing and killing these people. It turned out that these people The guy was a bandit, and he made a living by stealing every day, but today he had kicked the iron plate and met a swordsman with strong martial arts, so he was hunted down all the way.
Seeing this murder scene, Ning Caichen was naturally scared, but with Dongfang Yu by his side, he felt safe, and he just shrank behind Dongfang Yu.
Dongfang Yu, look at the opponent carefully, the strength of this swordsman is not weak, although he can't compare with himself, but this kind of force, if placed in the plane of Fengyun, he can be regarded as a first-class master. How can these bandits be him? opponent? Like chopping melons and vegetables, he was killed easily.
This swordsman, after killing all the bandits, stood in the rain and looked at Dongfang Yu and Ning Caichen, his eyes paused for a moment on the elf sword straddling Dongfang Yu's waist, and then put away the sword and entered the pavilion.
The pavilion was only for people to hide from the rain and the sun, and the decoration was naturally simple, with only one stone table and two stone benches, because Ning Caichen was a little afraid of this swordsman, so he hid behind Dongfang Yu and left the room open. With a stone bench, the swordsman didn't hesitate to sit down.
"Brother Xiahou?" Dongfang Yu turned her head, glanced at the swordsman beside her, and asked, although it was a question, but it was an affirmative sentence. The swordsman Xiahou was killed by the tree spirit grandma of Lanruo Temple just after a game of soy sauce.
Speaking of which, this Xiahou swordsman is still very strong, otherwise he would not have the qualifications to dream of becoming the number one swordsman in the world. In the original book, the sword competition is actually only a step behind Yan Chixia, but it is a pity that After all, he was just a swordsman, but he didn't have the ability to subdue demons. He was also bewitched by a female ghost, so that he was easily killed by Lan Ruo's tree spirit.
"Who is your Excellency? Know me?" It was just a chance meeting, but Dongfang Yu revealed her identity in one mouthful. Xiahou swordsman's expression tightened, and he put his palm on the scabbard and asked.
"Master Dao, do you know this person?" Even Ning Caichen asked cautiously when he heard Dongfang Yu calling Xiahou Swordsman.
"Brother Xiahou, did you go for Yan Chixia from Lanruo Temple?" Dongfang Yu asked, ignoring Xiahou swordsman's hostility.
"Who are you? Not only do you know me, but you also know Yan Chixia? How do you know that Yan Chixia is in Lanruo Temple?" Xiahou swordsman, with a suspicious look on his face, directly pulled out his sword , Staring at Dongfang Yu asked.
"You forgot? I can pinch and count." Looking back, Dongfang Yu smiled at Ning Caichen and replied, then turned her head and said to Xiahou swordsman: "Brother Xiahou, I see you He doesn't look like a bad guy either, but he's too competitive, let me give you a lesson."
"Hmph, you are a Taoist priest, and Yan Chixia is also a Taoist priest, are you sent by him?" Xiahou swordsman obviously did not believe in Dongfang Yu easily, snorted coldly, and asked, but doubted Dongfang Yu and Yan Chixia is in the same group.
"Brother Xiahou's trip is dangerous. If he insists on going to Lanruo Temple, his life may be in danger." Dongfang Yu shook her head and regretfully said to Xiahou swordsman, wanting to persuade him to turn back.
Although Dongfang Yu has never thought of himself as a good person who sacrifices himself for others, and even has countless lives in hand, if he can save a person with a little effort, Dongfang Yu still wants to try.
"Hmph, demonic words confuse the public, how can you trust the words of the warlocks? In my life, I hate Taoists the most. You go back and tell Yan Chixia that I will definitely go to Lanruo Temple tonight, and I will talk to him again." , Xiahou swordsman obviously didn't listen to Dongfang Yu's words, but he didn't intend to do anything. He put his sword back into its sheath, and left the small pavilion regardless of the heavy rain outside.
It wasn't until Xiahou swordsman's figure completely disappeared into the rain that Ning Caichen opened his mouth and asked Dongfang Yu, "Master Daoist, do you think he will die? Will someone as powerful as him die too?".
Yes, in Ning Caichen's view, the bandits in the world are terrible, but the Xiahou swordsman, who easily killed these bandits with one sword and one sword, is even more unbelievable. Someone as powerful as him People die too? Ning Caichen found it incredible.
"Martial arts are powerful, but you can't stop demons and ghosts." Shaking his head, Dongfang Yu sighed in a low voice. If you insist on courting death, who can stop you
In fact, Dongfang Yuxin already had some guesses about Xiahou swordsman's persistence. In the original book, even if Xiahou swordsman was killed by the tree spirit grandma, when Yan Chixia buried his bones, he also moved to kill Yan Chi Xia, his obsession with Yan Chixia can be said to be obsessed, if he can be persuaded away by himself, then he is not a Xiahou swordsman.
Soon, the rain stopped, Ning Caichen tidied up, and went to the county town to collect the debt, but Dongfang Yu didn't intend to follow him into the county town, and walked with Ning Caichen, but his goal was Lanruo Temple , Just drop in, since we have reached the ground, there is no need to follow him.
Hearing that Dongfang Yu was going to leave, Ning Caichen was very reluctant to give up, but there is always a banquet in the world, and Ning Caichen didn't say much. After saying goodbye to each other, Ning Caichen packed his bags and walked into the county. went in.
Looking at his back, Dongfang Yuxin sighed, missing Nie Xiaoqian, for him, it was really either joy or sadness.
Shaking his head, why did he feel a lot of emotion recently? Dongfang Yu also left the small pavilion, Lanruo Temple, Dongfang Yu only knew that it was near Guobei County, but he didn’t know which direction it was in. But this is not a problem. The direction Xiahou swordsman left just now, It should be in the direction of Lanruo Temple.
The road after the heavy rain is very difficult to walk, and some places are muddy as deep as the calf. However, the chakra of Dongfang Jade gathers on the soles of the feet, and it is like walking on flat ground.
After walking for several miles like this, I finally came to a forest. Just after entering this forest, Dongfang Yu felt a feeling of being spied on, and there seemed to be something in the air that made her feel Very uncomfortably cold.
Even the dragon veins that were carried close to the body in the backpack seemed to vibrate slightly at this moment, Dongfang Yu secretly sighed, this world with ghosts really makes people feel uncomfortable.
Ordinary people may not be able to feel it, but Dongfang Yu's spiritual sense is very keen, and he can clearly feel the cold atmosphere around him. , just these evil spirits and ghostly spirits permeating them made them feel very uncomfortable.
In this woods, unattended corpses can be seen everywhere, and occasionally a few howls of wolves can be heard. It is no wonder that even in such a chaotic world of cannibalism, people in Guobei County have heard of Lanruo Temple. The color has changed, just the bones that can be seen everywhere on the road, coupled with the gloomy atmosphere here, make people feel hairy.
On Dongfang Yu's side, he entered the forest of Lanruo Temple, and on the other side, in Guobei County, Ning Caichen found the inn where the bills were collected.
Originally, seeing a guest coming in, the shopkeeper and Xiaoer of the inn were still very enthusiastic, and even Xiaoer rushed to help Ning Caichen carry his luggage, but following Ning Caichen's words, he said that he was sent by Jibaozhai to collect the bill Yes, the shopkeeper of the inn immediately turned cold, and the waiter also rolled his eyes, and threw Ning Caichen's bag on the ground and left.
Seeing his luggage thrown on the ground, Ning Caichen had no choice but to pick up the luggage on the ground in a hurry, and immediately turned out the ledger from inside.
It happened to be a chaotic world, a world where people cannibalize people, the world is so chaotic, the shopkeeper is not willing to take out the money, but since the other party has the account book, and the money is exactly the same, in desperation, the shopkeeper also gave the money to Ning Cai Chen, and then drove him away with a tiger face.
In the inn, there were people of different religions, and the county town was also in chaos. There were constant shouts and killings. Clutching the money he had received, Ning Caichen cautiously walked through the crowd, but he didn't see that behind him, there were a few men with fierce expressions on their faces. The man who followed him from the inn followed him out...
For these desperate people, a scholar like Ning Caichen with money on his body is like a fat sheep walking around, how can he let it go
