Taiping Inn

In the evening three days later, Li Xuandu and Liu Chen had left the territory of Longmen Mansion and came to Beiyang Mansion. With their journey, they were expected to arrive in Luzhou within one tenth.

At this time, the sky had dimmed. Li Xuan looked over and saw that at the limit of his eyesight, there was a black shadow that seemed to be a village.

Li Xuandu looked at the sky again, and the dark clouds were rolling. It was about to fall, so he pointed to the black shadow and asked, "How about we stay here tonight?"

Liu Chen has been running around Zhongzhou for many years and is very familiar with the mountains and rivers here. He just glanced at it and said, "It was a village. About twenty years ago, the Golden Horde almost invaded Liangzhou and During Qinzhou, Zhongzhou was also affected, with bandits everywhere, and the surrounding villages and towns had to build villages to protect themselves. A group of robbers sent insiders to intervene in the village. After gaining the trust of the people in the town, on a stormy night Secretly opened the gate of the village, and a large group of robbers rushed into it, slaughtering the entire village, and now there is a piece of dead land there."

Li Xuandu said calmly, "It's not an ancient battlefield. Even if there are some unjust souls, it shouldn't be the climate."

Liu Chen said expressionlessly: "Since the guest has said that, then I have nothing to say."

When the two of them came to the village, it was completely dark. In the darkness, it was vaguely seen that the buildings in the village were still well preserved. After all, only twenty years have passed, and the corpses in them have been dealt with. Clean, even the slightly valuable doors and windows and furniture were moved away, leaving only houses with only frames left. The windows and door holes were pitch black, like the facial features of a giant beast, coupled with the gust of wind, Adding a bit of terrifying and infatuating.

The gate of the village is tied with logs, similar to the suspension bridge of the city. When the winch is installed on the gatehouse, the winch is turned when the suspension bridge is collected and released, and the winch drives the rope to make the suspension bridge rise and fall. The connecting part between the rope and the suspension bridge is an iron ring fixed to the suspension bridge. Now the rope has been cut off, so the gate of the suspension bridge has been lying flat on the ground for the past twenty years and has never been closed again.

The two of them walked through the open door of the village and walked into the empty village. At this time, the black clouds in the sky were hanging lower. It was obvious that heavy snow would inevitably fall tonight. Even the master of the Return Realm could make it impossible to step on the snow. There is no need to rush through the snow. It is better to rest here for a night to nourish the qi so that the qi that has been consumed along the way is always within a range that is irrelevant to itching.

Li Xuandu glanced forward and saw that there was a place similar to a ancestral hall not far away. Although it was also a bit dilapidated, it was already one of the relatively well-preserved buildings in the entire village.

Without asking for Liu Chen's opinion, Li Xuan walked straight to the ancestral hall, while Liu Chen followed him silently.

After entering the ancestral hall, it was empty inside, and the original tables, chairs and other objects had been moved away. Li Xuan took off the "cold beauty" wrapped in cloth around his waist, slowly pulled out the sword, and the snow-white blade was here. It is particularly dazzling in the dark night.

Liu Chen glanced at the long sword and his face changed slightly.

If she didn't see it, she would have admitted her mistake, this knife should have been a "cold beauty" from Tianle Sect. She was once the beloved sword of a ancestor of Tianle Sect. She refused to leave her body for a moment. This knife should have been treasured in Tianle Sect. How could it fall into this person's hands?

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered a rumor from the blue bird of Mao tribe that she heard not long ago. The reason why Bai Meiniang, the new sect leader of Tianle Sect, was able to overthrow the previous sect leader Zui Chunfeng was because someone helped him, not only Zui Chunfeng was He died because of him, and Lu Yanbing from Qingluan Guard was also repelled by him. Could this person be the mysterious person who appeared in the Tianle Sect Rebellion? That's why Tianle Sect gave it to you with this knife. If this is true, then this person is at least a master at the Ninth Level of the Guizhen Realm.

However, these are just ideas. Perhaps this person is just a disciple of Tianle Sect, and he might be rewarded with this "cold beauty".

Thinking of this, Liu Chen secretly hated why he didn't pay attention to the news in the world on weekdays. If Chen Mao was here, he could infer the origin of this person based on this "cold beauty".

At this moment, Li Xuandu pointed to a corner with the "cold beauty" in his hand: "Come out."

As he finished speaking, a white shadow floated out of the shadow. It turned out to be a woman, with a long skirt that reached the ground, black hair like a waterfall, and white skin like snow, but she didn't have much aura of living.

The woman looked at Li Xuandu holding the knife, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she wanted to speak but stopped.

According to Liu Chen, this place has been abandoned for nearly twenty years, so there will be no living talent. Even if there are people who are passing by here, they will never be able to get into the dust.

As for women like Su Yunying or the palace official, of course they can do it, but the world is very big, and there are very few Su Yunying and palace official people, so it is not that easy to meet.

Seeing that the woman didn't speak, Li Xuan activated his aura slightly and immediately developed a sharp edge on the blade.

The woman immediately showed a look of fear and floated back several steps, obviously afraid of the sword aura that Li Xuan had produced on the blade.

When a martial artist who reaches the innate realm, his qi can also attack the virtual world, and his sword energy can also kill ghosts. However, a pure martial artist, with only a huge body of blood, can make ghosts and gods vacant and unable to get close to them.

Li Xuan is not a pure martial artist who extremely rejects external things, and he is also "exhausted and clear", so his blood and energy are not very strong, but this knife is enough to make the ghosts and the like disappear.

However, Li Xuan did not rashly shoot.

How heavy is life? How can you think about it without thinking?

Killing people is not about cutting leeks. They can grow after being cut, but they cannot grow after the head falls to the ground. If you kill the wrong person, there is no room for remedy, so be very cautious.

When Li Xuandu first met Zhang Suqing, Zhang Suqing asked him: "Have you ever been chased by someone in the world?" Li Xuandu replied: "I was chased by someone."

Zhang Suqing asked the second question: "Was someone killing you the right one or the wrong one?" Li Xuandu replied: "From the source, it was the wrong one."

Zhang Suqing asked the third question: "So have you killed someone?" Li Xuandu replied frankly: "Has he killed many people."

Zhang Suqing asked the fourth question: "Have you missed the kill?" Li Xuandu said: "I dare not say that I have never killed the wrong one, but it is hard to say who it is. There is no time to distinguish it in the chaos of war."

Zhang Suqing suddenly asked the fifth serious question again: "Have you saved someone?" Li Xuan was stunned and replied: "I saved someone, but I didn't kill many people."

Zhang Suqing finally gave up his last question: "Have you saved someone you missed?"

Li Xuandu replied, "Save the missed person, repay the kindness and revenge, and then I will kill the person I saved."

These six questions are directly pointing to the hearts of the people. Facing these four questions, Li Xuan did not speak out, did not deliberately avoid him, did not care about his side, nor did he deceive him. He answered with his original heart, which made Zhang Suqing very satisfied. Even later, Zhang Suqing once said in public that Li Xuan was his age-lost friend, which led to the friendship between the two of them being both teachers and friends later.

Later, Zhang Suqing asked Li Xuan in what circumstances he had killed whom and how to deal with those who were killed by mistake, and then said, "You still have to keep people under the knife. If you can kill them, don't kill them. If you can kill less, you should kill less."

It can be said that Li Xuandu’s teacher taught him how to kill people, while Zhang Suqing taught him why to kill people.

So now Li Xuan will always think twice about thinking about it. This is the case outside the Tingfeng Tower. The four of them were veterans at first sight. They had countless lives on their hands. The four of them died under Li Xuandu's hands. It's not unfair. . However, the Taoist was obsessed with it for a moment. After taking a detour, Li Xuan was willing to give him a way out.

Of course, when it comes to life and death, Li Xuan still takes action when it should be.

Between life and death, one thought is enough, there is no need to think twice.

Li Xuandu asked, "Who are you?"

Seeing that Li Xuan had no intention of slashing the knife, the woman whispered: "I am a ghost bound here and cannot leave."

Li Xuandu suddenly browed and said, "Siege?"

The woman smiled bitterly: "It's probably true."
