Chapter 119: The Sword in the Sheath Makes a Dragon's Roar
There is clearly a lid on the water tank, so why is there a stone pressing on it?
Judging from the size of this water tank, it seems to be just right for storing corpses...
This thought made Xue Rengui feel a little cold in his heart.
At this time, the little girl finished eating the candied fruit, looked up and said, "Now that you are here, do I not have to die?"
Li Daoxuan was startled and was about to ask for details when he was interrupted by a voice.
"Little one, come to bed!"
Zhao Shisan came back with a bucket of water and shouted to the little girl.
The little girl quickly turned around and ran back to her room.
Zhao Shisan put the stone off the water tank, lifted the lid, poured the water from the bucket into it, and said, "There are many rats in my house, so I pressed it with stones to prevent rats from falling in."
Li Daoxuan and Xue Rengui looked at the water tank at the same time and breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no body in the jar.
After Zhao Shisan finished pouring the water, he took a deep look at them and reminded them again: "Three of you, no matter what noise you hear at night, don't go out!"
Xue Rengui couldn't help but ask: "Can you explain it clearly?"
Zhao Shisan did not answer directly, but sighed softly: "My wife went out at night and met with an accident."
After that, he entered the room, locked the door, and quickly extinguished the candle.
The surroundings suddenly became very quiet, with only the chirping of cicadas and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Li Daoxuan said calmly: "Haha, this village is getting weirder and weirder."
Xue Rengui reminded: "Sir, why don't we get down the mountain quickly!"
Li Daoxuan shook his head and said, "I have never done anything wrong in my life, and I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door in the middle of the night. I have always acted in accordance with the conscience of heaven and earth. What should I be afraid of?"
He patted the sword at his waist and said with a smile: "Besides, I also know some sword skills."
Xue Rengui was impressed to see that he was in a strange situation but remained calm and composed . He thought that at least he had great self-control. If it were any other scholar, he would have been scared out of his wits by now.
It's the master's swordsmanship...
I really can't compliment you, I'm afraid I've never seen a real master.
"Sir, let's do this. You and your sister-in-law can sleep peacefully tonight. Xue Li will stand guard outside the door with a spear. If any demons really come, we can kill them and have a drink with them!"
When Xue Rengui said this, there was a heroic look between his brows, his figure was tall and strong, his eyes were like diamonds, and there was a stern and murderous aura emanating from his body. What a majestic man!
Li Daoxuan finally understood why Li Shimin chose Yuchi Jingde and Qin Shubao as goalkeepers after having a nightmare.
This kind of person is simply a star general who has descended to earth. He is born with the evil spirit of a dragon and a tiger. Ordinary demons and evil spirits cannot get close to him. With his angry roar and rush of blood, ghosts below the Yin Shen realm may be scared to death.
Li Daoxuan did not reject his kindness. He knew that even if he disagreed, Xue Rengui would come secretly to protect him.
Nightfall.
In the room, Li Daoxuan did not rest, and Chen Ziyu had already returned to the umbrella.
He sat on the bed, sword across his knees, eyes closed, and was meditating on the "Taiyi Tiangang Sword Art"!
The Chixia Sword trembled slightly in its sheath, and the escaping sword energy blew his hair.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Daoxuan suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were like swords, illuminating the empty room. The candle on the table suddenly broke into pieces , and the cut was as smooth as a mirror.
A hint of joy appeared in Li Daoxuan's eyes. His "Taiyi Tiangang Sword Art" had finally reached the first level!
He put his fingers together to form a sword and recited the sword techniques silently.
"Taiyi Tiangang, the sword sweeps in all directions, slaying demons and killing ghosts, ruling the capital Pingyang, hurry up and kill as ordered!"
There was a clanging sound of sword!
The Chixia Sword flew out from its sheath and turned into a rainbow light. It shuttled through the room like lightning, circling around Li Daoxuan. The sword energy was so strong that it left sword marks on the wall.
“Bang!”
Xue Rengui knocked on the door.
clang!
The long sword was sheathed, and its sharp edge was instantly suppressed.
"Sir, I seem to hear the sound of a sword. Are you okay now?"
Xue Rengui asked.
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "I'm fine. I was just practicing sword skills just now."
Xue Rengui breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was afraid, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, sir, Xue Li is here!"
Although there are only eight words, they are as sonorous as a sword and full of heroic spirit.
Xue Rengui had obviously made up his mind that even if the red-haired monster came again and wanted to kill his benefactor, he would have to step over his, Xue Li's, body.
Li Daoxuan was somewhat moved. They were willing to sacrifice their lives for their promises at the cost of thousands of gold. He had to admit that these people who could leave their names in history all had extremely strong personal charm.
"Thank you very much."
Li Daoxuan did not say anything else and continued to sit cross-legged to consolidate his swordsmanship.
At this moment, he has cultivated the first realm of "Taiyi Tiangang Sword Art", the sword-controlling realm. He can fly the sword in the air, pierce the clouds and break the moon, and take people's heads from a hundred steps away as easily as taking something from a bag!
He finally officially embarked on the path of becoming a sword immortal!
If that red-haired monster really dared to come, he would like to try the sharpness of the Chixia Sword.
clang!
The Chixia Sword also made a faint sword sound, as if responding to its master's emotions and looking forward to the next battle.
…
As the night deepens, the moon disappears into the clouds.
Xue Rengui stood outside the door holding a halberd, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his left hand, reading it carefully in the hazy moonlight.
Although it was dark around him, his eyes were sharp like an eagle and he could see clearly even in the darkness.
Even in such a strange environment, he was still able to read without putting the book down. He was truly obsessed with the art of war.
Suddenly, his ears moved, as if he heard something. He raised his eyes sharply, revealing a surging murderous look.
There are footsteps outside the door!
Moreover, the footsteps were so dense that even though they tried to be as quiet as possible, how could they be hidden from Xue Rengui's ears?
He sneered in his heart, without any fear, and walked forward with his spear in hand, ready to open the door.
At this moment, a hand patted his shoulder.
Xue Rengui was startled. Someone was following him?
He was as ferocious as a tiger in an instant, and just as he was about to turn around and elbow, he heard a familiar voice.
"Brother Xue, it's me. "
Li Daoxuan whispered.
Xue Rengui's pupils were shocked. It was actually Mr.!
He relaxed, but couldn't help wondering, how did the sir sneak up behind me?
"I have practiced some Qinggong."
Li Daoxuan explained, then whispered: "Don't open the door yet, let's take a look quietly to see what the people outside are doing."
Xue Rengui nodded, and the two of them looked outside through the crack in the door.
When he saw the scene outside, even though Xue Rengui had been fighting tigers and leopards for years and was very brave, he couldn't help but feel a chill.
Outside were many villagers from Yaowang Village, wearing mourning clothes and with expressionless faces, kneeling towards Zhao Shisan's door.
After worshipping twenty-four times in a row, the villagers left quietly again.
It seems like some kind of ancient sacrifice.
On a moonlit night, the whole village was in mourning clothes and bowed silently.
This strange scene made Xue Rengui shocked and angry. He wasn't even dead yet, so why was he being buried?
He raised his spear and wanted to chase after him.
Li Daoxuan held him back, shook his head, and said, "They are just a group of ordinary people. What's the point of killing them?"
"Sir, are you not afraid at all?"
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Is this kind of thing useful? It's just like fighting against enemies with troops and covering water with earth."
