That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 157
Xu Beiyou was surprised and saluted respectfully, "Mr. Gongyu."

Chen Gongyu in Tsing Yi said softly: "North Tour, you have not walked slowly this way. The Temple of Suppressing Demons has put up such a big battle, but I think it is necessary to draw water from a bamboo basket in vain, and become the leader of the cultivation world." laughing stock."

Xu Beiyou blushed a little and said, "It's still thanks to Mr. and other seniors who gave you their help, otherwise how could I have made it to the south of the Yangtze River with my humble cultivation level."

Chen Gongyu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Young people still need to have the courage to be the first, don't learn the humility of us old guys."

Xu Beiyou had a good impression of this Confucian gentleman who had saved him, and nodded in agreement like a junior after hearing the words.

Chen Gongyu smiled and said: "The momentum of sitting and discussing the Tao this time is far better than in previous years. There are quite a lot of people here. There are good news and bad news for you. I don't know which one do you want to hear first?"

Xu Beiyou thought for a while and said, "It's bitter before it's sweet, so let's hear the bad news first."

Chen Gongyu said leisurely: "Nanfang Ghost Emperor, the ninth-ranked deacon of Zhenmo Hall, has come to Dabaoen Temple."

The expression on Xu Beiyou's face froze slightly, then returned to normal, and asked softly, "How does the Southern Ghost Emperor know my whereabouts?"

Chen Gongyu shook his head, and said in a rather helpless tone: "Young people only know how to be jealous, but they don't know how beautiful women are."

Xu Beiyou didn't understand what he heard, and couldn't continue to ask, so he could only ask instead: "Then what's the good news?"

Chen Gongyu laughed softly: "Princess Qiyang Xiao Zhinan is also in the temple at this time."

Xu Beiyou was startled, and then suddenly said: "Then Duanmuyu must be there, it seems that this young master Duanmu is still determined to kill me."

There was a smile on the corner of Chen Gongyu's mouth, he was very satisfied with the young man's understanding, and said: "Since you have guessed it, I will tell you clearly that tracking and finding traces is the specialty of the Dark Guard Mansion. Traces, this journey, although traces have been covered up, but after all, there are some omissions, according to these traces, it is not difficult for the Anwei Mansion to deduce your destination. Duanmuyu has already been to the Taoist Workshop, as for what to do, I don’t need to say any more. However, there are so many dignitaries in Dabao’en Temple right now, and even Zhenmo Temple doesn’t dare to take people with a big fanfare. That’s why the Southern Ghost Emperor entered the game in person. You’d better follow Zhang Wubing honestly and don’t go around Run around."

Xu Beiyou thanked Chen Gongyu deeply, then hesitated for a moment, raised his head and asked, "How do you know this, sir?"

Chen Gongyu accepted Xu Beiyou's gift calmly, and seemed to have known that Xu Beiyou would ask this question for a long time, so he said calmly: "I have lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and I am considered a half-headed snake. I am quite aware of the wind and grass on the ground. If you want to pay attention, It is not difficult to know these things.”

Xu Beiyou had no intention of continuing to delve into it. After all, everyone has some secrets that cannot be shared with others. He cupped his hands and said, "In that case, this junior will take his leave first."

"Go." Chen Gongyu waved his hand.

After watching Xu Beiyou go far away, Chen Gongyu stopped in place for a long time, thoughtful.

Kong Yixiao, who had just escaped from Lun Dao, came behind Chen Gongyu and stood with his hands down. Chen Gongyu sighed and said, "The little guy is quite vigilant, and you can tell the idiots under Duanmuyu's hands again." , Tell them that the young master of Jianzong has arrived at the Dabaoen Temple, or leave no traces like last time, and then do nothing."

Kong Yixiao left as promised.

Chen Gongyu turned around, and there was a tiger cat standing on the stone pillar not far behind him at some point. It was skinny and skinny. The patterns on its body resembled those of tigers, especially the pattern of the king character on its forehead. , making the whole cat look like a thin tiger descending from the mountain, its green eyes are full of viciousness and hostility, when staring at people, it seems that it wants to choose people and eat them.

It's just such a cat with a fierce face and the slightest unpleasantness, who was named Yangchun, Yangchun of Yangchun Baixue, nicknamed Xue'er.People can't figure out the key to it.

Chen Gongyu looked at Mao'er, and called Xue'er softly.

The cat jumped down from the stone pillar, ran a few steps, and jumped into Chen Gongyu's arms.

Chen Gongyu stretched out his hand and gently stroked Xue'er's head, squinting his eyes, "How difficult the world is."

On the other side, after saying goodbye to Chen Gongyu, Xu Beiyou went to Housi Pagoda Forest, but before reaching the edge of the Pagoda Forest, he was stopped by an unremarkable monk. Xu Beiyou had no choice but to leave here, but he didn't want to meet Xiao Zhinan right now Well, maybe it was the poor man's self-esteem at work, he planned to meet the princess after he gained a firm foothold in Jiangdu.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Zhinan was a woman who made him feel ashamed, and he didn't want this woman who was supposed to have never had any contact with him in his life to see his embarrassment.Because he knew that he was not good enough for Xiao Zhinan, and he also knew that the reason why the princess favored him was not because of some girlish thoughts. Just as Xiao Yuanying said, Xu Beiyou was greedy for the princess's beauty and life experience, and the princess had only done it once. Xu Beiyou really couldn't think of any place in him other than the identity of the young master of Jianzong, where he could get into the eyes of that high and high princess.In his opinion, Her Royal Highness is nothing more than a next bet on whether he can become a sword fairy like his master and ancestor. Your Highness has nothing to lose.

So Xu Beiyou's feelings for Xiao Zhinan have always been entangled, like a beautiful poisonous flower, he dare not pick it but is reluctant to let it go.

Afraid of what might come, Xu Beiyou had just left the range of the Tallinn when he met Her Royal Highness the Princess who was walking towards this side.

Her Royal Highness and Xu Beiyou's images in memory have not changed much, they just changed into a plain dress, holding a snow-like white cat in their arms. appearance.

This sudden reunion after a long absence made Xu Beiyou startled, and when he wanted to turn around, it was already too late, because Xiao Zhinan had already seen him.

"Xu Beiyou." She walked to Xu Beiyou's side, looked at the young man with evasive eyes, and said with a smile: "It's fine if you don't come to see me after you arrive in Jiangnan, but now you want to avoid me when you meet me, am I Can't you be a man-eating tigress?"

Xu Beiyou was silent for a long time, before opening his mouth with difficulty, "Your Highness, I plan to go again after a while."

"After a while?"

Xiao Zhinan looked at the bright red scar left by the God-killing arrow on Xu Beiyou's face, and said softly, "Have you had a hard time these days? You hide your whereabouts all day long, and you are always in fear, and Jiangnan is no different than the people in the Temple of Demon Suppression." You are here, how long can you hold on? As long as you go to me, I can always protect you."

Xu Beiyou said softly, "I appreciate your kindness, Your Highness the Princess."

Xiao Zhinan sighed softly, "Yuanying misses you a lot too, recently she has been having a bit of trouble with me, staying at home alone, even such grand events don't come out, she likes to be lively on weekdays, don't you For my sake, it would be good to go and see her."

Xu Beiyou hesitated a little.

Xiao Zhinan quietly waited for his answer.

In the end, Xu Beiyou still shook his head, "His Royal Highness can protect me for a while, but not forever. Your Highness, Xu Beiyou thanked you for your kindness, but there is really no need for it."

Xiao Zhinan is not the kind of stalker, she has her own self-esteem and pride, since Xu Beiyou has already said this, she will not say anything more, and plans to leave.

But at the next moment, Xu Beiyou didn't have time to react, he flew upside down in an instant, smashed the big tree half as thick as a man behind him, and was dying.

A black palm print appeared on his chest out of thin air, and the black air was lingering on the palm print, which was extremely frightening.

Before the visitor arrived, the sound came, "Since this kid doesn't know how to flatter, then the poor Taoist will take care of this unsightly thing for Her Royal Highness."

Xiao Zhinan turned his head to look, and saw a Taoist from far to near, wearing a black Taoist gown with wide sleeves, with fluttering sleeves, and two pale and bloodless hands protruding from the cuffs, just like the dead man who crawled out of the coffin just now. hand.

During the conversation, the Taoist had already come to Xiao Zhinan, and bowed his head, "The Southern Ghost Emperor of the Demon Palace in Pindao Town has seen Princess Qiyang."
