Martial Cultivator

Hearing the girl's name, the boy thought for a moment and said nothing more.

The girl was silent for a while, then looked at Chen Chao and was about to speak.

Chen Chao saw what she was thinking and said calmly, "Do you want to ask what happened to the people who protected you here before?"

The girl nodded. A group of guards, including Uncle Song, protected her all the way north. They worked hard and accomplished a lot, especially Master Song. She had always treated him as half a teacher. Naturally, she wanted to know their life and death.

"If you're dead, it's better for the blood demon to eat human flesh and blood. If you're targeted by it, there will be no bones left."

Looking at the corpse of the blood demon in the fire, he frowned. He had not encountered many monsters of this level in the past two years. Ordinary people were no match for them.

The girl's eyes were a little gloomy. She originally thought that even if Uncle Song and the others were killed, she could collect his body. But now, with the blood demon being burned by the Chen Dynasty, there would be no trace of Uncle Song and the others left in the world. .

There was some sadness on the girl's face. Along the way, she had seen the difference between life and death more than once. The girl was much tougher than when she came out of White Deer, but it was still difficult to face it calmly at this moment.

She looked at Chen Chao and hesitated to speak. 🄲

Chen Chao simply asked this sentence for him, "You want to say, since I am not afraid of the blood demon, and the place where you were killed is not far from the temple, why didn't I take action earlier."

The girl nodded, this was what she wanted to know.

As a guardian envoy, the other party has the responsibility to protect the land and the people. If he could have taken action earlier, maybe Uncle Song and the others would not have suffered this disaster.

"Pranayama."

Chen Chao looked at the girl and said apologetically, "I never thought that someone would appear in the mountains in the middle of the night."

The mountain temple is located in the wilderness, and there are no pedestrians even during the day, let alone at night. He came here in order to hide the presence of those monsters in the mountains and face them in the best possible condition. Chen Chao weakened his sense of the monster that arrived and could only sense the situation in this hall.

Otherwise, he would not have said that to the girl before.

The girl was silent for a while, then quickly thanked her.

By the light of the fire, during the long night, since neither of them could sleep, the two naturally talked a lot.

It's just that the girl is obviously not in a good mood, and she is still a little sad.

Chen Chao probably knew the reasons why the girl ended up in the mountain temple alone.

"I can take you down the mountain after dawn. What are your plans next?"\u003cb

r\u003e

Chen Chao took the initiative to ask.

Xie Nandu said calmly, "When I go north to Shendu, my family will send me to Tianqing County, and someone from the north will be sent to pick me up. But from the looks of it, it won't be that fast. I will write to them and contact them after they send me a message." During this period of time before people come to pick me up, I want to stay with you because it is... the safest."

Very straightforward, no mincing words.

Although she is sad at the moment, she also understands the current situation and needs to make a decision.

In the entire Tianqing County, there is definitely no safer place than staying with this young man.

"Obviously, you're in big trouble."

Now that the other party has made their attitude clear, Chen Chao is also more direct.

Although he didn't know the girl's identity, judging from the things that had happened before and the news revealed by the girl, this girl was definitely trouble.

Xie Nandu did not refute, but just said to himself, "You are a martial artist. As far as I know, martial arts practice is extremely difficult. The amount of money spent on polishing the body is not a small amount. Your salary is not enough to support your consumption."

Chen Chao frowned and said, "How do you know I have no other way?"

This point can be said to be the sore point of the Chen Dynasty. There are many schools of monks in the world, and the journey of martial arts is the most difficult. The amount of money spent on polishing the body is a huge amount, so most of the martial arts in the world choose Relying on the imperial court, you can obtain a large amount of heavenly money for spiritual practice.

Xie Nandu shook his head and said, "These monster beads may be enough, but now, how many monsters are there for you to kill nearby?"

The word "hunting" was said by Chen Chao himself.

With the improvement of his realm, the amount of money Chen Chao needed was no longer enough to kill a few monsters. Moreover, there were not many monsters around Tianqing County now.

He has been worried about this for a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that he was not suitable for practice, Chen Chao would never have chosen to be a martial artist.

Not to mention the slowness of cultivation, after those monks have the ability to control the wind, martial artists have a natural disadvantage, because it is difficult for martial artists at this stage to get close to those monks. Even if their physique is unparalleled, what is the use?

Only after reaching a higher realm and being able to control the wind can this disadvantage be eliminated. Martial arts practice is inherently difficult. How many martial artists in the world can really get to that point?

Killing the blood demon before seemed simple, but only Chen Chao himself knew how much the punch that had just repelled the blood demon cost him.

When he came to his senses, he didn't speak immediately.

"I can give you money for many days."

Xie Nandu looked at Chen Chao, his voice a little weak.

Hearing the words "Tian Qian Qian", Chen Chao quickly smiled and said, "I never care about being polite or not. I am a very kind person, and I am also a well-known good person in Tianqing County. Since you are alone, If I don’t lend a helping hand, am I still a human being?”

After all, although knowing this matter might get him into some trouble, Chen Chao weighed the pros and cons and was willing to give it a try.

After all, in a small and remote county like Tianqing County, it is not easy to make a lot of money.

Xie Nandu looked at him and said again, "Thank you."

She was very serious when she spoke, and although her expression was a little dull, she could tell she was sincere.

Chen Chao glanced at her but didn't say anything.

In the middle of the night, Chen Chao obviously talked a lot more. However, despite his constant insinuations, Xie Nandu still did not reveal too much information. Seeing that it was already dawn, Chen Chao, who was a little tired, took a deep look at the girl in front of him and stood up. Get up and prepare to go back to the county town.

…

…

Perhaps the blood demon drove away other monsters around him, so after the blood demon was killed, he didn't encounter any other monsters on the way down the mountain.

The two soon arrived at Tianqing County.

The heavy snow has not stopped, and there is still snow on the long streets in the county. There are not many pedestrians, but the children can't help it. They walk through the alleys in groups, laughing and kneading the snow into snowballs, and having snowball fights noisily. .

They didn't care about the snowy weather, or whether they would be beaten by their unsmiling father when they got home because they wet their cotton-padded clothes. At this moment, even if their little hands were red from the cold and their noses were running, they were still full of joy. .

No matter how dangerous it is outside the city, in Tianqing County, with Chen Chao here, there is nothing to worry about.

Xie Nandu held up the oil paper

Umbrella walked beside Chen Chao and glanced at Chen Chao, who was already covered in white frost. Then he looked away and looked up at the children running around in the distance, listening to the laughter.

She felt much more relaxed now than before.

In the past ten years, what she did most was study. She had never seen such a scene in the Gaomen compound. Even in heavy snow weather, the elders in the clan would only take advantage of the heavy snow to write exam questions. How could she Let them have a snowball fight.

Beside the bridge in the distance, a barbecue vendor would shout from time to time, his voice elongated, rhythmic, and very regular.

Many people are accustomed to the fireworks in the city, but for her, it was an unprecedented experience.

She watched these in silence.

Chen Chao glanced at her, and when passing by the vendor, he reached out and bought one.

"Eat some."

The hand was handed to Xie Nandu, who hesitated for a moment and then took it.

Really a little hungry.

Holding it in her hands, she began to carefully tear open the outer peel with her white fingers. Looking at the exposed golden flesh, her eyes actually became a little brighter. She took a small bite of a piece of flesh, and the hot flesh spread freely in her mouth. The heat made her lips turn red, as if she had used fine rouge.

Chen Chao strode towards the alley called Peach Blossom Lane. The alley was not big, only seven or eight households, and the house in the deepest part was his home.

Arriving at the door of the house, Chen Chao put the oil-paper umbrella in his hand at the door. He took out the key from his arms and opened the door skillfully.

At this moment, the door of the house opposite suddenly opened, and an unshaven man of medium height came out with a big bowl. He sat down on the threshold of his house, glanced at Chen Chao, and then glanced at the man The girl who was holding a small mouthful of food in the alley suddenly opened her eyes wide and shouted at the top of her voice, "Boy Chen, you're going to be successful. I haven't seen you for a few days. Where did you bring back such a beautiful wife?!"

The man's voice was loud. With such a shout, seven or eight households in Peach Blossom Alley almost opened their doors in unison, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked from their own doors to the door of the house deep in the alley.

Chen Chao, who was about to open the door, stopped his hand in mid-air and twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly.

As for Xie Nandu, who was behind him, holding the remaining half, he showed no emotion.
