Zhenxi City is a big city in Liangzhou, named Zhenxi, which shows the importance of this city. On the boundary of the Wushan Mountains, Zhenxi City is the largest city, with jurisdiction over many surrounding counties, including Dinghai County.

Chu Xian went to Zhenxi City this time just for two things.

The first thing is to go to the city government, ask the city government to immediately give an order to strengthen the defense of various counties, Chu Xian knows that the invasion of the demon clan is a foregone conclusion, so he has to think of a reminder to warn others, naturally, Chu Xian has done his homework on this point.

He sorted out the records of the demon clan's activities in Dinghai County, including the surrounding counties over the years, summarized and calculated, and concluded that the demon clan would inevitably invade in a big way, so it was still too late to build a defense.

This is one of them.

Second, they came to ask for money, goods, and people.

There is no silver in Dinghai County, although Chu Xian has 10,000 taels of silver sent by Hu Yanmane in his hand, but he can't take it out directly, and besides, even if he takes it out, it is not enough.

To build city walls, build arrow towers, recruit county troops, build armor weapons, and train soldiers on the battlefield, all of them need money, how long can this ten thousand taels of silver last?

Therefore, in this town of Xicheng, Chu Xian must come.

On this official trip, Xia Bozhong, the clerk, must be with him, after all, the clerk is the bookkeeper in the county, who is in charge of money, and this is a must.

In addition, he also brought several county army guards, led by Qi Chengxiang, a total of four people, Luo Yong said that he would follow, the other party was born with divine power, and he also made a small success in practicing martial arts in the past few days, and he also brought him to see the world, plus Chu Xian and Xia Bozhong, a total of eight people.

This way to Zhenxi City, it takes two days to travel, plus wind and snow, it is estimated that there will be another day.

On the first day, it was quite smooth, the wind and snow were not big, and in the afternoon of the second day, the snow increased, and the sky was getting darker, so I had no choice but to find a broken temple to rest.

In the broken temple, the original Buddha statue has already been knocked down by a broken head, although it is a mess, full of dust, but the roof is not exposed, the wall has not collapsed, and there is no problem to shelter from the wind and snow.

Chu Xian recognized the Buddha statue that was knocked down on the ground at this time, it was the Buddha Sect God canonized by the Holy Dynasty, and his brows were furrowed at the moment, and Xia Bozhong on the side also saw it, and walked over and said: "In the land of Liangzhou, the Heavenly Buddha Gate is rampant, and no one believes in the orthodox Buddhism, but believes in those evil sects and foreign ways, and those who overturn the Buddha statues must be believers in the Heavenly Buddha Gate." ”

Chu Xian nodded, and then found a quiet place to sit down.

The foundation of the Heavenly Buddha Gate in Liangzhou is too deep, and Chu Xian knows that with his own strength, he can at most sweep the other party's forces out of Dinghai County, as for the rest of Liangzhou, Chu Xian is powerless now.

But it's not impossible.

Chu Xian has already thought of a way, but he has to solve the hidden dangers of the demon clan first and consolidate the county's defense, otherwise it will be useless except for the Heavenly Buddha Gate.

"My lord, there are no people for more than ten miles around here, so we can only rest here tonight, and we will hurry after dawn tomorrow. Qi Chengxiang walked in covered in snow at this time, and behind him, the four county soldiers were holding dry firewood and branches found everywhere, in such a cold weather, it was impossible not to make a fire.

Luo Yong was wearing the clothes of the county army, and he was also carrying a steel knife around his waist, and he was majestic and very excited at the moment.

Actually, Concubine Luo also wanted to come, but was rejected by Chu Xian.

This time when she came out, it was to do something, Luo Yong was physically strong, practiced martial arts, and brought it out to exercise and exercise, but Concubine Luo was not good, she was weak, and if she got sick, it would be trouble, and although she had reached the stage of viewing the five internal organs, she couldn't get out of her body after all, so Chu Xian was hard-hearted and rejected Chu Chu's poor Concubine Luo.

The fire was lit, and it was already dark outside.

After eating the dry food he brought with him, Chu Xian asked everyone to rest earlier, in the past two days, everyone was also tired, several county soldiers were just ordinary people, and their physique could not be compared with Chu Xian and others, and they immediately snored and shook the sky, Luo Yong was also asleep, only Qi Chengxiang, Chu Xian and Xia Bozhong were still awake.

Chu Xian didn't sleep because he had to hurry up and cultivate, he was already getting closer and closer to the daylight out of his body, and he believed that he would be able to break through in one month at most.

Even if there is a chance, it may be faster.

Qi Chengxiang didn't sleep, he wanted to guard Chu Xian.

As for Xia Bozhong, he wanted to sort out the rules and regulations of the county defense overnight, so that when he went to Zhenxi City Mansion, he would be fully prepared.

In the second half of the night, the wind stopped at the outer door.

The silence in the wilderness is not heard even by the night owls, only the crackling sound of burning firewood can be heard.

At this time, Chu Xian suddenly opened his eyes, his face was cold, and Qi Chengxiang, who had been sitting cross-legged and cultivating internal strength, also sat up suddenly, holding a knife in his hand.

Behind, Xia Bozhong was already leaning against the pillar and falling asleep.

Chu Xian got up at this time, covered Luo Yong and Xia Bozhong with blankets, and then glanced at Qi Chengxiang, signaling the other party not to disturb the others.

Qi Chengxiang nodded.

"My lord, I'll go out and have a look. Qi Chengxiang drew a knife in his hand at this time, and when he saw Chu Xian nodding, he turned out of the window like a civet cat, and his figure disappeared into the snow and night of the outer door.

Chu Xian waited for a while, and Qi Chengxiang came back.

It can be seen that Qi Chengxiang's face is solemn, and the steel knife in his hand is stained with blood, dripping on the snow, and it is extremely red.

"There were assassins outside, not bad, I wounded one, and the others forced me back with crossbow arrows. After Qi Chengxiang finished speaking, Chu Xian signaled that the other party knew.

"Protect the Dharma for me!" Chu Xian only said one word, Qi Chengxiang knew what to do, stood with a knife, and stood in front of Chu Xian, and the next moment, Chu Xian had already sat down cross-legged, and his spirit was out of his body.

As soon as he came out of his body, Chu Xian saw a few essences flashing, but he was not in a hurry, and immediately cast a spell, and the falling snow on the ground suddenly exploded, sweeping out a wave of wind and snow, flying out in all directions, blocking those few essences.

Hearing the sound of clanging to the ground, Qi Chengxiang looked down and saw that it was a few black iron nails.

Obviously, if Chu Xian's movements were a little slower just now, or his spells were not refined, he and Chu Xian would have been pierced by this iron nail.

The next moment, the sound of breaking the air moved.

Qi Chengxiang knew that most of the sound of breaking the air was directed towards Chu Xian, and he immediately drew his knife and swept out a piece of knife, blocking all the hidden weapons that came, and the sound of the blade colliding with the iron nail was endless.

At this moment, the four sleeping county soldiers, Luo Yong and Xia Bozhong, all woke up, but they obviously didn't know what was going on.

Qi Chengxiang's feet were already full of iron nails, if he hadn't resisted with all his might just now, not only himself, but Chu Xian behind him would inevitably be pierced into a honeycomb by iron nails.

However, at the same time as he resisted the hidden weapon, from outside the window, from the door, from the beam, suddenly rushed into four black-clothed warriors, all with swords in their hands, and their skills were agile.

These four killers directly killed Chu Xian, without the slightest hesitation, like four tigers descending from the mountain.

Qi Chengxiang clenched the hilt of the knife and killed the four people without hesitation.

Four people, four knives, if you are not careful, you may let the other party cut Chu Xian, Qi Chengxiang shot with all his strength at the moment, his muscles and muscles were tense, first he bounced up violently, and kicked at the killer who fell above his head, this kick hit the opponent's chest, kicking the opponent out four or five meters away, at the same time, a backhand slash, blocking the slash of the two killers in front of him, and one slashed at Chu Xian from the side, at the critical moment, Qi Chengxiang was full of internal strength, and actually threw out the scabbard with his hand, hitting the opponent's wrist, this time the force was not small, the opponent's offensive collapsed, and then the knife was cut horizontally, and the opponent had no time to react, and cut off the wrist of the killer holding the knife。

Bang, the severed hand grabbed the steel knife and fell to the ground.

This attack and defense is extremely fast, compared to martial arts, eyesight and reaction, Qi Chengxiang is one against four, not only blocking the opponent's killing moves, but also seriously injuring one person.

However, these killers are not simple, they miss a blow, and they do not retreat, but attack again.

Seeing the flashing light of the knife, a steel knife in Qi Chengxiang's hand sometimes probes directly, sometimes slashes horizontally, sometimes opens and closes, and sometimes lightly kneades, which is simply a superb knife technique.

At this time, Luo Yong was the first to react, and immediately drew his sword to help, and the four county troops woke up and followed.

This time, his own number is superior, but the martial arts of the four county armies are commonplace, although they are besieging a killer together, but they are still killed by a killer, but Qi Chengxiang has someone to worry about, and immediately shot like lightning, killing two people in a row, and the other killer and Luo Yong fight, although Luo Yong's moves are ordinary, but he is born with divine power, only fighting with the other party, but twice, the knife edges of both sides are broken, and the killer only feels a sharp pain in the tiger's mouth, and the palm is oozing blood, and his heart is shocked.

The kid on the other side, although he was slashing indiscriminately, but the force was too great, every time he slashed down, it was as if a grinding disc was smashed over, just after fighting twice, he had no follow-up strength, he only felt a sharp pain in his arm, and he couldn't lift it.

At this moment, Qi Chengxiang stepped forward and slapped the killer in the chest, and the latter fell directly to the ground and died.

Between a few breaths, three killers died, and one was alive, Qi Chengxiang cut off his wrist and a leg, half dead, he originally wanted to interrogate, but when he stepped forward, he had committed suicide by taking poison.

"Dead man!"

Qi Chengxiang frowned, he naturally knew that once this kind of killer failed, he would think of committing suicide to ensure that he would not be captured alive, and he would not be forced to ask anything useful.

From beginning to end, Chu Xian didn't move, sitting cross-legged on the ground, and he didn't participate in the fight in the broken temple, because Chu Xian trusted Qi Chengxiang, and he knew that Qi Chengxiang would protect him at all costs.

At this moment, outside the ruined temple, there were several faint screams, some of which may be outside the door, and some of which sounded like they were a hundred steps away, and these screams lasted for a while, and then suddenly there was no sound.

All is at peace.

Obviously, it was Chu Xian who was making a move outside, and the next moment, Chu Xian's Yuan Shen returned to his body, and at this moment, his face was a little pale, after all, it was a snowy night out-of-body spell, and this time he was really experiencing a big battle.

It wasn't until Qi Chengxiang and Luo Yong ran out of the broken temple and looked out that they were stunned.

They thought before that the fight in the broken temple was already dangerous and fierce, but at this moment, looking at the outside of the broken temple, the fight in the broken temple just now was really not worth mentioning.

The outer door of the broken temple, first around the ground around the broken temple, is full of burning arrows, depending on the number, there must be hundreds, but none of these arrows are shot into the front three feet of the broken temple.

It's as if something blocked all these arrows.
