Yang Qianhuan said slowly: "after this period of reflection, I finally understand the difference between myself and Xu Qian."

"What's the difference?"

Zhong Li is like a qualified supporter.

Yang Qianhuan did not answer, but asked: "do you remember when Xu Qian was loved by the people?"

Zhong Li tilted his head, and his hair fell down, revealing a pair of bright eyes. His voice was light and soft: "did you solve a big case in Beijing?"

At that time, Zhong Li, as a little wretch, was "suppressed" at the bottom of the building. He didn't know Xu Qi'an. Later, he gradually understood Xu Qi'an's past.

"No, although he was in the limelight at the time of Beijing inspection, his reputation was only spread in the officialdom, and the common people had heard a little about him, but he was far from being loved."

Yang Qianhuan said in a low voice:

"it was the Buddhist fighting method and the trip to Yunzhou that really made the people in the capital remember him. Later, the vegetable market cut off the Duke of the country, and his reputation reached its peak. But these are also good, follow the legend of yuyangguan, and the feat of regicide... In fact, the nature is the same. "

After a pause, he said in a tone of uncovering the truth behind the fog:

"because he is constantly setting up an image of" serving the country and the people ", the people naturally love him. Killing Yuanjing is killing the king. If I kill Yongxing, I'm a traitor. "

Zhong Li was so moved that elder martial brother Yang finally understood.

Yang Qianhuan continued: "therefore, I will start to work for the well-being of the people and let the people in the whole capital feel grateful for me."

"What is elder martial brother Yang going to do?" Zhong Lirou said.

"I plan to open a few shops in the capital to help the people of the capital free of charge. Over time, I will be able to surpass Xu Qian and become a great hero in the eyes of the people in the capital. " What Yang Qianhuan said is true.

"Elder martial brother Yang is really good. He has come up with such a good idea." Zhong Li is happy for him.

With the approval and praise of Zhong Shimei, Yang Qianhuan left with great ambition.

The wind blows and the grass rises and falls.

In the distance, there were thick clouds in the sky. With the strong wind, they walked along the barren mountain path. Mu Nanzhi on the horse's back wrapped the fur coat tightly.

She frowned, turned to Xu Qian and said, "I'm a little cold."

This year's winter is particularly cold. Not long after winter, the eaves have been frosted.

Xu Qi'an nodded and put his palms on the mare's abdomen. His Qi input was continuous. Now he has been able to refine Qi and produce many Qi engines, which is equivalent to eight grades of Qi training.

The little mare felt the heat from her master and gave a happy hiss. She turned her head and rubbed Xu Qi'an's face.

"Xu!"

Mu Nanzhi gnashes her teeth. Is she not as good as a horse?

"Freezing is also a good experience for you. It's too leisurely to wander in the river and lake, so it's no fun. "

Having said that, Xu Qi'an still holds her little hand and goes to the air blower.

Li lingsu saw the interaction between the two people in his eyes. He said that his wife was not beautiful enough, so Xu Qian was such a bad old man.

When I think of my group of confidants, they are all outstanding beauties. Shengzi inevitably has a sense of superiority. At the same time, I guess whether Xu Qian is not good at beauty or dealing with women?

Otherwise, what kind of beauty can't be obtained by his self-cultivation?

"However, although Mrs. Xu looks mediocre, she is very tolerant. The more she gets along with each other, the more she feels that she is different from ordinary women. This is probably why Xu Qian married her... "

Li lingsu thought.

After a few weeks of air circulation, mu Nanzhi was warm and even sleepy. She forced herself to pick up her spirits, put the fox on the horse's back, then took out Dafeng geographic records from her luggage, looked at it, and her face changed slightly.

She swallowed her saliva quietly and said in a low voice: "according to the book, there are two characteristics of Xiangzhou: Water Ghost and corpse driving."

They are located in Xiangzhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Zhangzhou.

On hearing this, little white fox shrinks his head in fear, and stammers like mu Nanzhi: "what, what? Many water ghosts... "

Xu Qi'an didn't have a good way:" you are a demon, afraid of water ghosts? "

Small white fox counseled half side, small voice way: "I, I am afraid of ghost da."

Li lingsu said: "there are many water systems in Xiangzhou. The river network is scattered and crisscross. There are countless drowning people every year, and it's normal for many water ghosts. It's a long story to drive away the corpse. "

Seeing two people and a fox, Li lingsu explained: "it's said that about 180 years ago, a strange man suddenly appeared in Xiangxi. He used 13 iron corpses to fight all over Xiangzhou. The school was founded in Xiangzhou.

"Up to now, many of the forces in Xiangzhou have some means of controlling corpses. Among them, the Chai family is the most powerful. The Chai family's main business is to drive the dead to their hometown.

"Any corpse taken over by the Chai family will not rot and stink."Xu Qi'an led the little mare and asked, "is this the method of controlling the corpse of the God of witchcraft, or the method of the Department of witchcraft?"

Li lingsu said with a smile:

"it's the means of the corpse Gu department. The strange man was born in Xiangzhou. When he was young, his whole family was killed by his enemies. He didn't die for some reason. He was sold to southern Xinjiang as a slave by his enemies. He learned a good method of controlling corpses in Gu clan.

"After self-conscious cultivation, he escaped from southern Xinjiang, returned to Xiangzhou for revenge, and established a sect. His name was Chai Siming, the ancestor of the Chai family. However, his method of controlling the corpse was defective, and he could only reach the realm of five grades.

"Later, the Chai family developed martial arts, and the clan members usually practiced martial arts and Gu. The current Chai family's owners are only five grades, but there have been several masters of four grades in the history of the Chai family. "

Xu Qian was surprised and said, "have you ever visited Xiangzhou before?"

"No

"How do you know these things?"

"Because one of my confidants happens to be the Chai family." Li lingsu smiles like a winner in life.

Gan! A careless and gave you the opportunity to make complaints about... Xu Qian's heart Tucao, he nodded, calm tone:

, "tomorrow will arrive in Hunan City, just to visit Chai home."

Li lingsu's face changed slightly and covered his waist quietly.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, the dark clouds are on the top, and the heavy rain is about to pour down. After walking for half a quarter of an hour, mu Nanzhi, sitting on the horseback, points to the distance and says happily:

"there is a broken Temple there."

Little white fox happily echoed: "there is a broken temple."

The broken temple is on the side of the road. When you get closer, you find that it's a mountain temple with a large area. I think there was a time when it was beautiful.

The door of the temple is rotten, half open, as if it were pushed down.

Xu Qi'an helped mu Nanzhi to get off the horse. Three of them entered the temple and crossed the threshold. The courtyard was covered with withered branches and leaves, emitting a faint smell of decay.

The statues of mountain gods worshipped in the temple were toppled, full of cracks and wrapped with spider silk. Xu Qi'an glanced at them and observed that the temple had been abandoned for at least ten years.

There are several carbon ashes in the temple, which seem to be left by people who used to rest here after the campfire.

"Ah

Mu Nanzhi suddenly gave a low cry, pointed to the south corner and stammered: "coffin, coffin......"

near the south wall, there is an ebony coffin with dim color, which seems to have been for some years.

Dilapidated temple, old coffin, plus near dusk, dark clouds cover the top, wind howling, strange seeping.

Mu Nanzhi is timid and afraid.

Bai Ji, who clearly knows that she is a fox demon, seems to have been affected. She climbs into mu Nanzhi's arms, and the two females huddle together for warmth.

Xu Qi'an took a look at the coffin, then drew back his eyes and looked at Li lingsu: "go outside and pick up some firewood. I'll make do with it in the temple tonight."

After Li lingsu went out for a while, it began to rain.

Xu Qi'an took out two robes from the brocade bag and put them on the ground to let mu Nanzhi sit down. After a while, Li lingsu came back with a big bundle of firewood.

It carries a lot of weight.

The temple soon lit a bonfire to drive away the chill. Xu Qi'an set up a pot and cooked a pot of meat soup.

After a while, the rich meat fragrance drifted away, and mu Nanzhi was not afraid. She held the porcelain bowl and enjoyed the soup.

Little white fox also has a bowl, happy lick.

At this time, Xu Qi'an's ear moved, and he heard the rapid footsteps.

At the gate of the temple, two figures rushed in, two men and one woman. One of them, wearing a Confucian shirt and a Confucian crown and carrying a bookcase, seemed to be a scholar.

Another man, with a long knife in his waist and hip, was dressed in a strong black suit. He was a martial arts practitioner.

As for women, they have beautiful faces, neat clothes and long hair, which are tied up as high as men's, but without embellishment on shoulders, backs and necks, they are more and more slender and thin.

"It smells good!"

The young man with a long knife in his waist and crotch entered the temple and stared at the iron pot.

The scholar bowed his hand and said, "two brothers, it's hard to find the mountain road. I don't know if it's convenient to meet the cold rain."

Li lingsu said with a smile, "just as you like."

Two men and a woman immediately went to one side and sat down not far from the coffin.

Because he was on his way in the rain, he was wet. The black man took off his sabre, looked at the old coffin in the corner, and wondered:

"there is a coffin in the temple. It's just right. Let's chop it for firewood."

The young scholar's face changed slightly. "I can't help it, brother Wang. It's unlucky. The dead are very big. Don't disturb others."

Mu Nan Zhi listened, small hand a shake, call a way: "is, you end end end of cut what coffin, do die."

It's already completely dark, and the rain drops are falling. In the deserted mountain and the broken temple, the bonfire is drawn into the cold wind in the temple, and the wind is swaying, and the human figure is distorted on the wall.

The young man in the black suit frowned and said, "it's none of your business!"He turned to his companion and muttered, "it's not certain that there are dead people in the coffin."

At this time, the beautiful woman said:

"no matter whether there are dead or not, it's not lucky. Brother Wang, we martial arts practitioners are full of Qi and blood and are not afraid of the cold. But brother Lu, you...... "

the scholar waved his hand:" it's not in the way, it's not in the way. "

The woman shook her head, got up and went to Xu Qi'an and others. She hugged her fist and said, "two brothers, can we come here to bake the fire together?"

"Sit down!"

Under mu Nanzhi's squint gaze, Xu Qi'an keeps a high cold posture, and doesn't let himself show a warm smile.

So the three sat down by the campfire. Xu Qi'an noticed that they were staring at the iron pot and the broth inside.

"If you don't mind, use the bowl we've had."

Xu Qi'an didn't expose that he had stored things in front of them.

"Thank you very much."

The scholars were very happy and bowed to each other.

The black man with a bad temper turned soft when he heard the speech.

The pretty girl took a big mouthful of broth, wiped her lips with her sleeve and said, "little girl Feng Xiu is a disciple of plum blossom sword sect."

She looked at the black man and said, "his name is Wang Jun, a disciple of songyunzong. Our two schools have been friends for generations. This brother Lu is a friend we ran into in the mountains. "

The scholar took up the topic and said, "I'm Lu Wei, a member of Qingshan county. Xinjun ascends the throne and will open Enke next year. So I'm going to study in the capital."

The prince ascended the throne..... Xu Qi'an was stunned.

This is a good thing for Dafeng.

The only advantage of Yuanjing's cultivation is that there are not many children. Otherwise, the situation will be worse if the prince seizes the throne.

Li lingsu said: "are you traveling in the world together?"

Feng Xiu's eyes lingered on his face for a moment and said softly, "we are responding to Aunt Chai's call to come to Xiangzhou to participate in the demon slaughtering conference."
