Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 200
Such a commotion alarmed the people in the yard.

"Who?"

A man's voice sounded from the yard.

"Excuse me, is Brother Tang in there?"

Tian Ye asked loudly.

At this time, the gray-clothed old man looked angrily, and shouted at the young man: "Teacher, leave them alone, and prepare to fight."

"Yes, Master!"

The disciple responded, and quickly ran to the wall, pinched the sword with one hand, and muttered something in his mouth.

The gray-clothed old man took out a bronze mirror and threw it on the ground, then raised a flag and said something.

Just after reading a few words, the surrounding scene changed drastically, and a faint cloth wall formed a circle, enclosing the entire courtyard like an iron bucket.

Tian Ye and Fan Shoulin were also included.

Seeing the situation in front of them, the two finally understood that the gray-clothed old man and his disciples had already prepared for it, and had set up a magic circle around the courtyard in advance.

"Did the Zhang family come here for you?"

Fan Shoulin's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking.

The gray-clothed old man snorted coldly, and continued to wave the flag, as if responding lazily.

The disciple said with a sneer, "When death is imminent, why do you ask these questions?"

"What did you say?" Fan Shoulin was startled.

"I gave the two of you a chance before, but you didn't listen to it when you left, but now you want to leave, it's too late..."

At this moment, a woman's angry voice suddenly echoed in the sky: "Let them go, one person is doing things and the other is responsible. You are going to deal with me, don't kill innocent people indiscriminately."

The gray-clothed old man smiled disdainfully: "Hehe, witch, you are not worthy of saying such things. You are a ghost, but you are killing people in the underworld. Today, this old man will make you disappear in ashes, and you will never be reborn forever!"

"Nonsense!" Tang Jiaye rushed out, pointed at the old man and yelled angrily, "When did Xia'er kill innocent people indiscriminately?
The Zhang family took Xia'er away and drowned her alive for a marriage in the yin, and her mother died because of this.

Xia'er's murder was a revenge for the sea of ​​blood. That was the retribution the Zhang family deserved. What's wrong with her? "

"Don't argue here, even if the Zhang family is wrong, the government will make their own judgment, and it's not a little ghost's turn to kill on his own..."

"Hahaha!" Upon hearing this, Fan Shoulin couldn't help laughing angrily: "Old man, you say that others are sophistry, so why are you not sophistry yourself?

Why did Miss Xia'er become a ghost?It was the Zhang family's fault, and this is the reason.

Thanks to you, you are still a practitioner, don't you understand the reincarnation of heaven and karma?
Miss Xia'er was murdered by the Zhang family, and her mother was also involved and died. Even if she didn't avenge herself, it was only natural and logical for her to avenge her mother.

The reason why the Zhang family has fallen into the present situation is all because of the karma they planted themselves.

Even if Miss Xia'er doesn't take revenge, the Zhang family will go against the grain and commit such an act of common anger, and sooner or later they will be punished by heaven.

And you must have accepted a lot of money from the Zhang family and helped the evildoers to abuse, so you are not afraid of harming your morality and suffering retribution? "

As soon as these words came out, the gray-clothed old man flushed with anger and shouted angrily: "Young boy with a yellow mouth, you are courting death!"

While speaking, Kong Kong raised his hand to slap, and a palm shadow slapped Fan Shoulin on the head.

"boom!"

Xia'er waved her sleeve in time to defuse the palm.

Then he said anxiously: "Jiaye, take them away quickly."

Tang Jiaye shook his head: "No, I'll stay with you..." Having said that, he shouted at the two of Tian Ye: "Both brothers, you should leave the place of right and wrong quickly."

Fan Shoulin shook his head: "It's useless, even if we want to leave now, we probably won't be able to."

"Hahaha, as expected of a scholar, smart enough!"

The disciple smiled sarcastically.

"I asked you to leave before and didn't listen, but now it's too late to regret it. This array is a lore array arranged by my master. You three will die with this demon girl!"

"If you die, you die first!"

Xia'er roared angrily, and her figure flew towards the disciple like a black lightning bolt.

She was a ghost who died unjustly, and she had a lot of resentment.It was because of Tang Jiaye's repeated reassurance that she suppressed her resentment.

But what the disciple said caused her resentment to explode completely, and she was already on the verge of being demonized.

Black mist enveloped the whole body, a ray of blood-red light appeared in the eyes, and the nails of the ten fingers were like sharp blades with a faint blue luster.

"No, disciple, get out of here!"

The gray-clothed old man was taken aback, and while shouting, he rushed towards the disciple to save him.

Because he found that he had underestimated Xia'er's strength, and he didn't expect Xia'er to be able to display such amazing strength when trapped in his formation.

In fact, when Xia'er first appeared in the Zhang family, she wasn't strong enough, otherwise the Zhang family wouldn't have used an ancient magic weapon to force her back.

But the more this happened, the more her hatred was aroused. The heavier the resentment, the more her strength would increase at an astonishing speed.

Therefore, when she went to the Zhang family for the second time, even the so-called expert invited by the Zhang family and the bronze mirror could not stop her from doing it.

If Tang Jiaye hadn't arrived in time, the Zhang family might really have been wiped out.

Of course, Tang Jiaye didn't sympathize with the Zhang family. In fact, he hated the Zhang family just the same. Otherwise, he and Xia'er would have been married long ago, and Xia'er would not have died.

It's just that he was afraid that Xia'er would lose control, and he was also afraid that Xia'er's murder would be too serious and she would fall into a situation where there would be no redemption.

There is no way to deal with the Zhang family, as long as he has the opportunity to step into the official career, sooner or later the Zhang family will get the retribution they deserve.

The disciple wanted to hide, but unfortunately he couldn't keep up.

"The witch will hurt my apprentice!"

"Xia'er, don't be impulsive..."

Tang Jiaye also yelled.

He didn't sympathize with that disciple, but he knew very well in his heart that if Xia'er killed him, then the old man in gray would definitely go mad.

At that time, not only Xia'er will be in danger, but he and the other two scholars will also be in danger.

Where there is life, there is hope.

His yelling also had an effect, Xia'er really wanted that guy's life, but after hearing Tang Jiaye's yelling, she, who was almost out of control, finally became sober.

So, he picked up the disciple and flew into the air.

"Old guy, let the three of them leave immediately, you are going to deal with me, I will stay.

If you didn't let them go, I would have killed your disciples. "

"Demon girl, how dare you!"

The old man in gray yelled angrily.

Unexpectedly, the disciple didn't live up to his expectations, and shouted for help: "Master, help..."

"Let go, or not let go? I'll count to five, if you don't let me go, I'll make your disciples unable to do ghosts. One...two...three..."

At this time, Tian Ye and Fan Shoulin have a great affection for Xia'er.

In their minds, where is this female ghost?She is clearly a loving, righteous, and responsible woman who does not give way to a man.

The value of this trip, I saw a wonderful scene with my own eyes.

As for the threat from the old man and his disciple, they really didn't take it seriously.

Since the two of them dared to come, they naturally had a certain amount of confidence, but things were not at their worst yet.

"stop!"

As soon as Xia'er counted to three, the old man in gray couldn't hold his breath anymore, his face flushed and he yelled loudly.

"Okay, the three of them can go, but you must stay."

"Wait!" Unexpectedly, Tang Jiaye stepped forward: "Let these two brothers leave, and Xia'er and I will stay."

"Jiaye, don't be stubborn..." Xia'er was anxious.

"Xia'er, don't forget that I am a juren now, with fame and fame, and the blessing of the dynasty's luck.

If this old guy dares to kill me, he will definitely bear a crime that he cannot afford. "

This is really not a lie.

Although Juren is not an official, it is also the cornerstone that the dynasty attaches great importance to. To a certain extent, it represents the class of "scholars".

Therefore, upon hearing what Tang Jiaye said, the old man in gray couldn't help but frown.

He didn't know that Tang Jiaye was a juren, he just thought of him as an ordinary scholar.The Zhang family didn't know about the Tang family's promotion, and thought he was a scholar.

"And maybe the two of us can help a little too."

Fan Shoulin also said something.

"Brothers, this man's magic power is profound, you should leave quickly..." Tang Jiaye hurriedly persuaded him again.

"It doesn't matter!" Tian Ye smiled: "We have also learned some methods of cultivation.

This formation seems to be watertight, but in fact it is mainly effective against evil spirits, and its effect on ordinary people is very weak. "

The old man in gray couldn't help laughing jokingly: "Ignorant child, do you know what cultivation is? How dare you talk about cultivation methods after studying for a few years?"

"Old guy, don't you look down on scholars?"

Suddenly, a loud voice came, echoing in the air, making it difficult to discern the direction.

Hearing this voice, the two of Tian Ye couldn't help but look surprised, they both cupped their hands in the air, and shouted in unison: "Sir!"

The person who came was Zhou Yu.

However, only hearing his voice, but not seeing him, made the gray-clothed old man's face change in shock, and he looked around anxiously.

This old man's name is Wu Xu, and he looks 67 years old, but he has actually been practicing for more than 100 years, and he has learned a lot, including witchcraft, spells, formations, and spells.

He can be regarded as a master among quack warlocks.

This array is a unique skill that he has kept at the bottom of the box, and it is not easy to use it under normal circumstances.

Because it takes a certain amount of time to set up this formation, it consumes a lot of materials, and it also consumes a lot of mana.

But this time, the Zhang family offered a high price of 1 taels of silver, making him have to get rid of Xia'er to avoid future troubles.

In order to earn the 1 taels of silver steadily, Wu Xu came here ahead of time to set up the formation, trying his best to be foolproof.

Once this array is activated, it will form a relatively independent space, people outside can't get in, people inside can't get out, and people outside can't hear or see the movement inside.

But now, the formation he was proud of was easily broken into.

However, he, the person who set up the formation, couldn't find where the other party was hiding, which inevitably made Wu Xu a little terrified.

After searching for a while, but he still couldn't find anyone, Wu Xu couldn't help shouting: "Who is the man in the pavilion? Can you show up and see him?"

"I'm not an expert, but a scholar."

Following the words, Zhou Yu suddenly appeared in front of Wu Xu, and the old guy subconsciously took two steps back in fright.

At this time, Tang Jiaye couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He thought of a person, a legendary scholar: Zhou Yu.

Except for Zhou Yu, he really couldn't think of anyone among the scholars in the world who could have such a miraculous ability.

With a thought in his mind, he couldn't help but hastily stepped forward and bowed, and asked respectfully: "I'm not a native of the Tang family, dare to ask brother, but Zhou Jieyuan from Wendao Academy?"

"Exactly!" Zhou Yu nodded with a smile.

"gentlemen……"

The two Tian Ye also came forward to explain a few words.

Zhou Yu waved his hand, signaling to speak later, then glanced at Wu Xu and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Wu Xu frowned and asked, "You and I don't know each other before, well water doesn't violate river water, why did you force your way into the old man's formation?"

"Hehe, well water doesn't violate river water? These two are my students, you don't care about indiscriminate indiscrimination, and you want to kill them both. Tell me, is it none of my business?"

Wu Xu said convincingly: "I gave them a chance to leave, but they didn't listen."

"This is not your territory, what right do you have to let people leave?"

"This old man is here to catch ghosts, it's doing justice for the heavens!"

"Hahaha, what a way to do justice for the sky. I think you are doing justice for money? How much money did you collect from the Zhang family?"

Zhou Yu already knew the reason for this whole incident.

At that time, the two of Tian Ye didn't go back, but they asked the waiter to deliver the wine. Zhou Yu asked the reason, and the waiter vividly told the tortuous story between Xia'er and Tang Jiaye.

Zhou Yu was afraid that Tian and Ye would suffer, so he came here.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Wu Xu couldn't help feeling a little annoyed: "It's none of your business, right? It's only natural to go around the rivers and lakes and collect some rewards for catching ghosts and killing evil."

"absurd!"

Zhou Yu suddenly raised his voice.

"For the sake of money, you actually trapped three innocent people and wanted to kill them together, it's completely unconscionable.

He also said that he was doing justice for the sky, and that he gave others a chance.

Alright, don't say I won't give you a chance, now, take your disciples and get out immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. "

"Hahaha!"

Wu Xu couldn't help laughing angrily.

Although Zhou Yu quietly appeared in the formation just now, Wu Xu observed for a while, but did not notice how strong the opponent's mana fluctuations are...

Of course he would not sense it, because Zhou Yu majored in Confucianism, which was completely different from his cultivation system.

In addition, Zhou Yu said that he should take his disciples away, which actually made Wu Xu think that the opponent was actually guilty and playing tricks, and he was definitely not his opponent in a frontal fight.

"Boy, don't show off your narrow-mindedness in front of this old man. The old man has crossed more bridges than you have traveled. See the truth!"

I have to say that this old guy is quite insidious. "My subordinates see the real chapter" is a reminder on the surface, but the words are still on his lips, but he has already moved his hand first.

After all, I was still a little apprehensive in my heart, thinking of making the first move.

What's more, the Zhang family's 1 taels of silver was too tempting for him, how could he let it go willingly?

Therefore, if you don't make a move, you're done, and if you make a move, it's a big move, and strive to kill with one blow.

But what Wu Xu didn't expect was that the opponent didn't move at all, he didn't intend to resist at all, and even showed a mocking smile.

Something is wrong!

Wu Xu's heart skipped a beat.

However, just as the arrow has left the string, it is no longer under control.

"Be careful sir!"

Tian Ye and Fan Shoulin subconsciously yelled.

"boom!"

There was a huge bang in the arena.

Zhou Yu stood still, but Wu Xu, who attacked first, vomited blood, and flew upside down like a kite with a broken string, flying straight tens of feet away before falling heavily.

It wasn't until this moment that he finally realized what it means to have people beyond people and heaven beyond heaven.

Zhou Yu didn't seem to move, but he cleverly used the power of rebounding, so that all the power from Wuxu's attack was bounced back, making him suffer the consequences.
