Xiaoqing's face changed and she jumped away hastily. The tree fell apart. Xiaoqing waved her long sleeves and flew away as if fleeing. At this time, she met Ning Caichen, and felt a little sad in her heart, no longer interested in fighting Yan Chixia. In other words, she knew very well that she was no match for Yan Chixia and did not want to seek death.
"Miss Xiao Qing..." In Ning Caichen's mind, Yan Chixia is an out-and-out bad guy, and now Yan Chixia is chasing Xiao Qing, although she is surprised that Xiao Qing, a delicate girl, can also "kung fu" , but now I can’t care so much. Xiaoqing is in danger, and Ning Caichen wants to save her.
Yan Chixia and Xiao Qing were chasing each other in the dense woods. Ning Caichen was chasing under the woods. Xiao Qing took advantage of the moment when Yan Chixia's sight was blocked and hid in the bushes. Yan Chixia didn't know it. , kept chasing forward. Xiao Qing quickly flew in the opposite direction and saw Ning Caichen, who was panting and chasing after him. Xiao Qing quickly fell down and asked Ning Caichen hurriedly, "Why are you still chasing me?"
Thinking that Yan Chixia might turn around and chase her at any time, she pulled Ning Caichen and ran away in panic.
"Miss Xiaoqing, is your foot injury healed?" I have to admire that Ning Caichen's brain circuit is different from ordinary people, and he still has the mind to care about this issue at this time.
"Now is not the time to ask this. That bearded man from Lanruo Temple is a bad guy. He wants to harm me." Xiaoqing looked like a weak woman, which impressed Ning Caichen, and he did not doubt what she said.
After gently breaking away from Xiao Qing's hand, Ning Caichen stopped. With the air of a hero saving a beauty, he bravely said to Xiao Qing, "Miss Xiao Qing, please go first. I'll help you distract the bearded man."
"You..." Xiaoqing looked at Ning Caichen in surprise. In her eyes, this weak scholar who was supposed to be powerless turned out to be taller now.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. I know a friend, and he also knows the bearded guy, and the bearded guy doesn't dare to do anything to me." Ning Caichen's bravery sometimes comes easily. Like his mind, there will never be a complicated day.
"Then, you should be careful yourself." Xiao Qing warned as if she was a little worried.
"Well, how can I find you in the future?" Ning Caichen's bravery seemed to be not only reflected in a single aspect, but also became more proactive about feelings, so he asked.
Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment and said to Ning Caichen, "Four miles west of Lanruo Temple, come find me again tomorrow night." The difference between her and Nie Xiaoqian is that she longs for this rare sincerity, although she also She was worried about Ning Caichen's safety, but she was unwilling to give up just like that.
Although she is not as beautiful as Ji Yuxuan, she is as beautiful as a fairy from the Yao Palace, as if she is otherworldly. Even if she takes a slight step closer, she will feel ashamed and can't help but lower her head. But the encounter with Xiaoqing and sharing weal and woe were much more real in comparison. Ning Caichen would not feel that he was so far away from her.
Xiaoqing left the place immediately without any further hesitation, and within a short while, Yan Chixia chased her back, and there was a faint yin energy here. Ning Caichen hid aside and made some noise to lead Yan Chixia in the wrong direction.
Ning Caichen ran for a while in panic, and was exposed under the eyes of Yan Chixia. Yan Chixia put the sword on his neck very angrily and asked, "Scholar, what are you doing here? Believe it or not, I am The sword killed you?"
"Big Beard, please don't act rashly. Murder is against the law." Ning Caichen was startled. His voice was trembling in the cold night wind, and he raised his hands and said.
Yan Chixia was very angry that Ning Caichen was still so stubborn even though his death was imminent. She threatened him and said, "Breaking the law? If I kill you here, no one will know."
"Brother Ji and I also know each other. How will you explain to him if you kill me?" Ning Caichen brought up Ji Shaoyu's name in an attempt to calm Yan Chixia.
"Although I don't know why he helped you so many times, based on what I know about him, even if I kill you, he will not have trouble with me because of you. Do you believe it or not?" Yan Chixia smiled, with a long stick in her hand. With a strong movement of the sword, Ning Caichen suddenly became half shorter.
"Big beard, if you have something to say, please speak it carefully, don't be impulsive..." Ning Caichen also didn't have much confidence. After all, he and Ji Shaoyu just met by chance, but Yan Chixia knew Ji Shaoyu's father. There was no need to look at the relationship between them. Know.
"You know now that you have something to say? What I told you before, you just ignored it." Yan Chixia drew her sword and returned it to its sheath. It was too late to chase the female ghost now. As for Ning Caichen, He was completely benevolent and just ignored him.
"Anyway, I've told you what needs to be said. Whether you live or die, it's all up to you." After speaking, Yan Chixia jumped up and left here.
Ning Caichen breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground. He didn't even know when his back got wet. He was frightened for a while and said to himself, "It was really dangerous just now!"
After resting for a while, he saw darkness all around him and couldn't help but feel a little creepy. Ning Caichen got up and chased Yan Chixia in the direction where he left.
…
At dawn, Ji Shaoyu returned to Lanruo Temple. Ji Yuxuan had been waiting on the stone tablet of Lanruo Temple early in the morning. Seeing Ji Shaoyu coming back on foot, she lightly opened her lips and asked, "Is the matter resolved?"
Ji Shaoyu smiled at her, nodded, and said, "Well, it's settled. Wait a minute, we'll go deal with the thousand-year-old tree demon. Tomorrow night, we should be able to deal with everything."
"Let's continue practicing." Ji Yuxuan said and jumped off the stone monument. The gap in strength between her and Ji Shaoyu still made her feel a strong sense of oppression. She desperately wanted to become stronger and be able to protect her brother. Although she was She likes the feeling of Ji Shaoyu's protection, but she hopes to fight side by side with Ji Shaoyu and even protect Ji Shaoyu.
"Well, come with me to get something first." Ji Shaoyu smiled, not refusing, and would not refuse.
Ji Yuxuan nodded lightly and followed Ji Shaoyu towards the back of Lanruo Temple.
Here is a mass grave, with tombstones scattered across the ground, covered with basil five or six feet high, and covered with dead vines. Three or four crows stopped on the tombstones. When they saw Ji Shaoyu and Ji Yuxuan arriving, they flew away in panic. . An old locust tree with a height of more than seven feet, like a canopy, with luxuriant branches and leaves, vigorous and straight, showing the vicissitudes of thousands of years, and full of evil spirit, swaying branches and leaves in the wind. In Ji Shaoyu's Sharingan eyes, this is an old locust tree. A thousand-year-old tree demon with the peak cultivation level of God Refining and Returning Void, but this thousand-year tree demon seems to be sleeping, and will come out and move when it gets dark.
Ji Shaoyu ignored the thousand-year-old tree demon for the time being, but searched among the more than a hundred tombstones. Finally, he found it. He removed the dead vines on it and revealed the seal characters underneath.
The tomb of my beloved daughter Nie Xiaoqian!
