Start with Blue Silver Grass

"Sir, this place is called Shili Pavilion, and not far ahead is "Linzhang Town". When we arrive at "Linzhang Town", it means that we have entered Zhangde Mansion. Here, on this official road, we go to "Yedu"

"The final crossing..."

On the broad loess and gravel road, Zuo Xiong rode his horse beside Lin Yi's carriage and introduced Lin Yi who was opening the curtains in the carriage.

"If you want to go to [Daguo Temple] to worship Buddha, after arriving at 'Yedu', we will enter from the east city gate and need to pass through the city and go to the west gate of 'Yedu' more than ten miles away..."

"

In the carriage, listening to Zuo Xiong's introduction, Lin Yi nodded with a smile and said nothing. On the other hand, Nie Xiaoqian, who was leaning next to Lin Yi, had a look of expectation on her face.

Sensing Nie Xiaoqian's emotional changes, Lin Yi looked back at Nie Xiaoqian, facing the pair of beautiful autumn eyes on her delicate face, and said with a harmonious smile: "Why~ It won't be long before I can meet Uncle Nie again. Xiaoqian is very happy in her heart."

?”

Hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian's face blushed slightly, and her eyes showed gratitude and expectation: "If it weren't for the young master, Xiaoqian would never have the chance to reunite with her father in this life..."

"My mother has been dead for many years. If Xiaoqian is there this time... my father is afraid..."

Hearing this, Lin Yi stretched out his hand and patted Nie Xiaoqian's jade hand gently: "There is no need for this, meeting us means we are destined. Now your practice has achieved initial results, and your health will get better and better in the future, and you will be reunited with your father.

, the time of filial piety is still long~”

"Master~" After listening to Lin Yi's words, Nie Xiaoqian looked at Lin Yi who was very close with her eyes filled with joy and called out softly.

"Huh?" Lin Yi tilted his head slightly, facing Nie Xiaoqian's raised head.

"Can Xiaoqian see the young master every day from now on?" Nie Xiaoqian lightly opened her red lips and asked in a low voice.

"Of course!" Lin Yi pondered for a moment, and then nodded firmly under Nie Xiaoqian's expectant eyes.

"Really?!" Nie Xiaoqian's eyes lit up.

"Really, because~Xiaoqian called me~Young Master~~~" Lin Yi responded with a slight smile.

In Nie Xiaoqian's eyes, this smile was like a blooming begonia flower, overwhelming a country and a city.

The horses neigh and the wheels roll.

When the golden crow fell in the sky, two carriages and three tall horses stopped in front of a dilapidated manor.

"Zhengqi Villa?"

Lin Yi and Nie Xiaoqian stood side by side, looking up at the decayed plaque hanging diagonally on the door.

A little behind the two of them, Zuo Xiong and Li Bo each held the reins of a horse. Only the bay horse was not being pulled.

"Master~" Zuo Xiong took half a step forward and whispered to Lin Yi's back: "I really don't want to go to the inn a few miles away to rest..."

"Yan Chixia! Stop!"

Before Zuo Xiong finished speaking, suddenly, an angry shout exploded from the official road not far away.

The next moment, a black shadow shot out from the direction of the official road on the side of several people, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the sparse woods next to the dilapidated manor.

"this......"

Before Nie Xiaoqian could ask a question, a fierce sword energy followed the figure just now and shot towards this side from the official road.

The sword energy originally directed towards the previous figure, but after it disappeared, the sword energy lost its target and dispersed on its own.

However, these tiny pieces of sword energy unexpectedly came towards Lin Yi and the others!

At this moment, a tall and burly man with an aura of indifference like a swordsman rushed over from the official road. Seeing this scene, his expression changed:

"not good!"

The man knew the power of this sword in his heart. It was also because he had once again made a breakthrough in the way of swordsmanship and mastered the ability of this sword energy to move freely. He thought he was good enough to compete with his old opponent, so he pursued the opponent to this point.

Even old rivals have to avoid their sharp edges. This combination of a young couple with a guard and an old servant is afraid...

For men, fighting in martial arts can kill people, and those who have a grudge against them can be killed...but innocent passers-by should not suffer such misfortunes.

It's a pity that the man looked at the distance between himself and the sword energy, and the sword energy that was so close to the four people over there, he could only muster all the strength in his body, but he was still so close!

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the 'guard' carrying five weapons on his back, who the man subconsciously thought was flashy, took a step forward to face the sword energy, and instantly drew out a Miao knife from his back with his left hand, slashing it diagonally.

"Qiang!!!"

Guyu

Amidst the sound of gold and iron clashing, the sword energy that could cut through gold and jade was swept away!

Seeing this scene, the anxious look on the face of the man who was charging towards Lin Yi and others disappeared. Instead, there was a pair of bright sword eyes, filled with the excitement of meeting a well-matched opponent!

In the forest not far away, a figure restrained its aura and hung on a tree trunk more than ten meters high. It was looking at Lin Yi and the others with a regretful expression.

To be precise, he was looking at Nie Xiaoqian.

Sensing that this person's eyes were locked on Nie Xiaoqian, Lin Yi frowned and thought about whether to twist him to death silently~

Of course, this thought only passed away in a flash. Lin Yi just extended his spiritual thoughts to the tree trunk and controlled every move of this person at any time.

On the one hand, from the perspective of the soul, this man's iconic bearded image made Lin Yi look familiar;

On the other hand, when he looked away from Nie Xiaoqian, he looked at Lin Yi with a bit of regret and worry~

Another point is that Lin Yi clearly heard what the swordsman shouted just now.

On the other side, Yan Chixia, um, yes, this bearded man is the resident NPC in "Lanruo Temple" in the "Liao Zhai World of Gods and Ghosts", a swordsman of a generation who is famous in all the worlds!

‘So, this is the sidekick who appeared for a few minutes, the swordsman Xiahou?’ Lin Yi looked at the man holding the big sword.

Yan Chixia felt regretful in her heart at this moment. Yes, the scene just now was deliberately induced by him.

Of course, it was not that he wanted to murder Lin Yi and others, he just wanted to force Nie Xiaoqian to take action.

Just because he sensed an extremely powerful demonic energy in Nie Xiaoqian!

This demonic energy is not only powerful, but also very pure! Far beyond the demons and monsters Yan Chixia has encountered before!

Previously, while avoiding Xia Hou's pursuit, after sensing the evil spirit here, he instantly made a plan to use Xia Hou's sword to force the evil girl to reveal her true identity, and then kill the evil spirit.

Unexpectedly, the witch did not force her out, but Xia Hou found a new opponent.

Yan Chixia couldn't help but feel a surge of sadness.

You agreed to be my licking dog, but now you want to be paired with someone else?

Don't look at Yan Chixia who has always avoided fighting with Xia Hou. After an occasional fight, she would point at Xia Hou's shortcomings.

But, to be honest, Yan Chixia feels secretly happy for a long time after each fight.

Otherwise, if all means are used, it will not take much effort, whether it is to completely defeat Xiahou and not dare to challenge him again, or to flee thousands of miles away so that he cannot be found.

Unfortunately, both the original plan for the enchantress (Nie Xiaoqian) to reveal her true form and Xia Hou, who was originally her own, fell away from Yan Chixia's expectations.

I saw, in front of Zhengqi Villa, on the ground covered with withered yellow and rotten leaves, Xia Hou looked excitedly at Zuo Xiong, who was carrying the remaining four weapons on his back and holding a Miao Dao.

"Good skill!"

"Just now, I made a mistake at the next moment and almost hurt your young master. Madam, Xiahou would like to apologize to you~"

"But~" Xia Hou changed the topic and said directly to Zuo Xiong: "It's hard to find an opponent. Swordsman Xia Houwei, please enlighten me!"

After saying that, a pair of sword eyes stared straight at Zuo Xiong, and the big sword in his hand shook and pointed in the direction of his eyes.

"Xia Houwei? The best swordsman in the world?"

Zuo Xiong did not respond immediately, but frowned and asked.

"..." Xia Houwei hesitated when he heard the words, paused, and replied: "Before defeating Yan Chixia, there is no need to mention the name of the best swordsman in the world!"

"Yan Chixia?" Lin Yi spoke at the right time, giving her a sense of presence.

"Young Master~" Zuo Xiong responded in a low voice: "Zuo Mou heard it mentioned by his colleagues. The person Xia Houwei mentioned should be the notorious judge in the twenty-six provinces of Guandong and Guangxi, Yan Chixia Yan Captou~"

"What a pity~" Zuo Xiong shook his head and continued: "A few years ago, Yan Baotou left with his seal and wandered around the world..."

"Huh?! Just...?" Zuo Xiong recalled the words Xiahou Swordsman shouted before he appeared, and the fleeting figure, and looked at the forest next to him unconsciously.
