Xiahou Wu came panting at the moment, frightened, embarrassed, and even lost his shirt. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Brother Xiahou, it's immoral to run around without clothes in the middle of the night, it's a very shameful thing, if you're in the city, you're going to be arrested and put in prison. Yan Chixia smiled drunkenly.
"There are youkai here, and there are ghosts, I just encountered them all, and I almost died at the hands of youkai. Xiahou Wu immediately walked in and said.
Really~!
Li Xiuyuan's heart froze, he had guessed that Xiahou Wu would encounter monsters before, and it seemed that things were really as he imagined.
"Thanks to your horse for saving me just now, otherwise I would have died just now, and I will be rewarded in the future. Xiahou Wu calmed down and said gratefully to Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan said: "It's just a gesture, I believe that any good person will help." ”
Seeing that he was so generous-minded, Xiahou Wu immediately said with a face full of shame: "Not only are you better than me in martial arts, but you also make me admire your affection, and I regret that I didn't listen to your advice before and stayed in Lanruo Temple." ”
"Now that the matter has passed, there is no need to mention it, I came here to destroy the monsters here, Brother Xiahou met the monsters just now, I don't know what the situation is, can you tell me?" Li Xiuyuan said.
"I'm ashamed to say it, it's because I wasn't qualitative enough, I wasn't strong enough to be confused by the female ghost, and I almost lost my life......" Although Xiahou Wu was difficult to talk about the previous things, he still said it one by one.
Yan Chixia next to her burped: "In this way, there is not only a female ghost here, but there may also be a tree demon?"
"They're in a group, and I think there must be other ghosts here. Xiahou Wu said.
"That's right, since there is a nest of ghosts, let's catch them all and leave no one behind. Yan Chixia stood up, took the sword and said, "The wine is enough, let's go, scholar, let's get rid of the demon." ”
After saying that, he staggered out leisurely.
Li Xiuyuan said: "You go out like this, the ghosts are scared away, we have been drinking for several hours from before to now, and we can see that there are ghosts appearing? ”
"Then I'll get him out. Yan Chixia said, and then disappeared into the night.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, and didn't stop it, anyway, it was impossible for Yan Chixia's Dao Tree Demon to take him down for a while.
"I wanted to wait for the rabbit and wait for the tree demon to find the door, but now it seems that I have to change my method and let Yan Chixia drive the tree demon out. ”
Xiahou Wu next to him said: "That ghost almost killed me, and I have a deep enmity, I also went to find that monster, and I will kill it with a sword." ”
Stimulated by Yan Chixia, he was not to be outdone, took the sword and wanted to leave.
Li Xiuyuan stopped him: "Brother Xiahou, stay here, Yan Chixia, he went to find monsters because he has the means to deal with monsters, so monsters are afraid of him, although you have an outstanding martial arts, but you don't have the means to deal with monsters, if you go forward in this way, you will definitely encounter danger." ”
"That monster is not very powerful, I cut off a lot of its roots when I killed it just now, and if it is really powerful, I will not be able to escape. Xiahou Wu said.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "You can't say that, the antelope is threatened and turns around to fight for its life, even the tiger has to retreat, but once the courage of blood and qi is dispersed, the antelope will still be eaten by the tiger, I guess the tree demon has already set its sights on you, and regards you as a prey, and it is impossible to let you go easily." ”
"In that case, then fight with that dryad, and I am not afraid of death. Xiahou Wu said, still determined to seek revenge on the tree demon.
Obviously, he was arrogant and unconvinced.
"Since Brother Xiahou insists on dealing with the Dryad, I have a way to exorcise ghosts and demons to you, I hope it can help you. Li Xiu said from afar.
"What's the method?"
"Give me your sword. Li Xiu said from afar.
Xiahou Wu immediately handed the sword to Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan took out the sharp sword, lightly cut his fingers, and wrote on the sword with his own blood, writing a few words: The sky and the earth are big, and the truth is the greatest.
"Okay, now this sword has become a sword of truth that can kill demons, and if you encounter demons and monsters to reason with this sword again, it must be very afraid. ”
"This can work......" Xiahou Wu said with a strange expression.
"Of course, if you can keep your mind from being tempted by ghosts, then few demons and monsters will be able to stop you. Li Xiu said from afar.
Xiahou Wu nodded and was about to leave.
At this time, a man's voice sounded outside the temple: "Help, help, is there anyone here? ”
"It must be a monster that has appeared, and I will kill it to avenge the revenge I just had. ”
Xiahou Wu's eyes lit up when he heard this voice, and he immediately rushed out.
The voice seemed familiar. ”
Li Xiuyuan was a little curious in his heart, and he also went over to take a look.
At this moment, outside the temple, a scholar carrying three or four lanterns ran to Lanruo Temple in a panic. Behind him were three or five wild wolves, howling incessantly, and when the scholar's strength had been exhausted, they swarmed him and devoured him.
"Ah~!"
When the scholar came to the front of Lanruo Temple, he was tripped by the steps of the mountain gate, and fell to the ground with a scream, and the three or four lanterns were all extinguished at once, and the surroundings suddenly became dim, only the moonlight in the sky barely allowed him to see a pair of glowing green eyes in the dark night.
"Bang bang. ”
The hungry wolf behind him saw the opportunity and immediately swarmed up, ready to prey on the scholar.
"What kind of person, the third watch is still wandering in this wilderness in the middle of the night. ”
Just as the hungry wolf was about to pounce, a drunken voice sounded, but the door of the temple was kicked open with a bang, and a burly bearded man walked out with a sword.
"Wolves get out of the way. ”
Yan Chixia saw that the hungry wolf was going to eat people, so he immediately pulled out his sword and threw it, and as the sword flew out, he directly shot through a hungry wolf in front of him, and then strode over, wanting to kill other hungry wolves, and dealing with these hungry wolves with his martial arts was as easy as killing chickens and dogs.
However, before they could get closer, the remaining hungry wolves all slipped away when they saw that the situation was not good.
"Bah, such a timid wolf, I thought it was a dog. Yan Chixia saw the wolf slipping away, and said a little unpleasantly.
"What are you doing here so late, a helpless scholar? Hurry up, this is not the place for you. ”
After looking at this scholar and seeing that he was an ordinary person with no hands on his hands, Yan Chixia immediately blasted him away.
Although the attitude is bad, it is for his good.
"Late life Ning Caichen, thank you for this strong man for coming to the rescue, the late life just wants to spend one night in the temple, and will definitely not disturb your temple, please be accommodating. Ning Caichen hurriedly gave a salute.
"I'm not the owner of this temple, the monks of this temple are all dead, and now it's an empty temple, an abandoned temple, and I'm also staying here, but there's something unclean here, if you don't want to die, leave quickly." Yan Chixia took the sword and turned to leave.
He is not a mother-in-law and does not like to persuade people.
"What do Yan Chixia and this monster bother to talk about, how can someone walk outside in the middle of the night, it must be a ghost, wait for me to kill him with a sword, let him reveal his original form. At this time, Xiahou Wu rushed over when he heard the sound, and when he saw Ning Caichen, a scholar, he only regarded him as a ghost, and immediately drew his sword and stabbed Ning Caichen.
"Keng~!"
A collision sounded, and Yan Chixia blocked the sword.
"Brother Xiahou, are you indistinguishable from ghosts? This is an ordinary person, if you kill him, you will kill a good person by mistake. Yan Chixia said.
"What, he's human?" Xiahou Wu said in surprise.
"Of course it's a human, he doesn't have demonic energy, ghost energy, it's not what a human being. Yan Chixia said.
"He is indeed a human, not a ghost, not a monster, but a good friend of mine, his name is Ning Caichen, he is a child, well, maybe he is already a showman. ”
Li Xiuyuan walked over, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw Ning Caichen.
It's too much of a coincidence, all the characters are actually gathered, and it's almost a good show.
"Li, Li Gongzi. ”
Ning Caichen was surprised and delighted when he saw Li Xiuyuan: "Li Gongzi, why are you here, didn't you go back to Guobei County." ”
"I came here to punish demons, of course here, it's you, aren't you staying in Guo Beicheng, how did you come here and do something. Li Xiu said from afar.
Ning Caichen said, "Xiao Sheng copied books in Jibao Zhai before, and this morning the shopkeeper didn't have any subordinates under him, so he asked me to come to Guo Beicheng to collect the accounts, and it happened that there was also something to inform Li Gongzi, so Xiao Sheng responded to this matter." ”
"What is it?" asked Li Xiuyuan.
"It's a matter of releasing the list, because of the plague, this time the imperial court chose to release the list in Jinling City, the list has come down, Li Gongzi shouldn't know about it, many scholars in the city have gone to Jinling City to see the list. Ning Caichen said.
"I see, you came here to inform you. Li Xiuyuan said gratefully.
Ning Caichen was a little flattered and said: "It's just a sentence by the way, Li Gongzi is polite." ”
"Since he's not a monster, where is the real monster hiding?" Xiahou Wu said a little irritablely.
Yan Chixia said: "Who knows, there is a demon smell everywhere here, it must be the lair of monsters, the tree demon will appear sooner or later, just be a little patient and wait." ”
"If we wait like this, we need a bait to lure the dryad to appear, and this bait must be an ordinary person, so as not to arouse the vigilance of the ghosts. Li Xiuyuan touched his chin and said.
Bait?
Good idea~!
Moment.
Xiahou Wu, Yan Chixia, and Li Xiuyuan all looked at Ning Caichen with a brush.
Ning Caichen looked dazed.
