Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 191 Today’s battle, I stand up for my friends
Starting from June, Xu Yuanchang went to the academy every day and continued to study bronze inscriptions under the tutelage of Mr. Kou Xueqian.

He wanted to be able to fully understand the secret book "Spreading Beans to Create an Army" and figure out its profound meaning alone. In addition to the jade characters, he had to learn a lot about bronze inscriptions and Yunzhuan script so that he could use them in the future. This was something that every master wanted to do. A necessary quality for a high-level monk.

You even have to learn demon writing and ghost writing. A swordsman like Yu Fengwu knows a lot.

Xu Yuanchang slowly fell from the air and rubbed the forehead of Xue Li who came forward to greet him. After being promoted to the second level, Xue Li did not suffer from summer sleepiness so much and was more responsible for looking after the house and nursing home than before.

I put down the bamboo box in the main room and went to the east stove room to work with the two cooks.

Liu Xianfeng, who is burning fire, can magically rub firewood and charcoal ash on his face every time, making his face look like a little cat.

She raised her head and said hello with a smile, and said: "Your eldest brother and his in-laws, Shopkeeper Du, from the town, came to the valley to look for you in the afternoon. Shopkeeper Du wants to ask your help to visit the old house in the country. He said that in the past few nights , there were constant knocks on the door at the old house.

"Every time the housekeeper and servants who guarded the house opened the door, they found no one. They were so frightened that they said it was a 'ghost knocking on the door.'"

Xu Yuanchang washed his hands and wiped them with the dry towel on the shelf.

The eldest brother's house and shopkeeper Du's house in the town went through the matchmaker several times to run errands. The interview, asking for names, and Naji went smoothly, and the parents of both parties have already met.

Shopkeeper Du was nearly forty years old and well-maintained. When his servants came to report that Taoist Master Xu was here, he quickly led his eldest son to greet him.

After observing for a while, Xu Yuanchang closed the newly painted door and asked everyone to stand a few feet outside the door and say nothing.

The moon rose in the sky, and the three of them came to Xiema Village, ten miles north of Qingshi Town. This is a large village composed of three surnames: Du, Hu, and Ma. The Du surname occupies the southeast and south positions.

After waiting for about tea time, the bats hovering under the moonlight suddenly swooped and hit the door, making a "dong" sound similar to knocking on the door. One after another, bats hit the door.

Xu Yuanchang explained: "The painter did something wrong when he scraped the gray floor of the door. The pig's blood on the gray floor was mixed with eel blood, and eel blood attracts bats. There are many bats at night in summer, but this did not happen before when the weather was cold. Weird thing, that’s why.”

Xu Yuanchang waved his hand to indicate that he was not in a hurry to go in for tea. He walked to the door and looked up and down.

Xu Yuanchang did not shirk, walked around, said there was no problem, sat down and drank two cups of tea, took the reward prepared by his master, and left with Yu and Liu.

Tomorrow, I will take the bad guys in the town to the painter in the neighboring village and ask for an explanation.

After repairing his state of mind and advancing to the fourth floor, his temperament stabilized.

Shopkeeper Du whispered.

"I want to learn, Master, teach me now."

Shopkeeper Du, the housekeeper, servants and others were astonished.

Xu Yuanchang suspected that someone was deliberately causing trouble and smeared eel blood on the door.

The two fairies occasionally pick vegetables to sell in the town, and every time they are sold out by the townspeople. The vegetables grown by the fairies are delicious and not expensive, and are said to be able to cure diseases.

Yu Fengwu held the sword hand and used the kitchen knife to chop vegetables quickly and evenly. She smiled and agreed: "Let's go together."

Liu Xianfeng didn't get a chance to take action at all. It was the first time that she and the young master went out to catch ghosts and got lonely.

Xu Yuanchang showed off and said: "Next time Pindao will give you a performance of 'turning an egg into a cube' and 'drawing a butterfly with an empty palm'. No spells or illusions are used. Pindao can do it with his real ability."

When Fairy Yu said "Kneel down", the gangster knelt down on the street and slapped himself in the mouth, beating his face like a pig's head until Fairy Yu finished selling the vegetables and said "Get out", and the gangster escaped death and got out quickly.

But with being out and about, it doesn’t matter.

Liu Xianfeng flew in the air, holding the young master's arm and shaking it.

Liu Xianfeng said: "I gave Shopkeeper Du a red willow branch and asked him to plant it on the roadside in front of the door. Sister Yu, would you like to watch the fun together tonight?"

"Ghost knocking on the door? I'll go check it out tonight."

Shopkeeper Du quickly handed over his hands and thanked him. As long as he knew it was not a "ghost knocking on the door", he would not be afraid in his heart.

"if not?"

A few days ago, Xu Yuanchang, as the man's elder who can support his appearance, returned to the village to attend a banquet.

If eel blood were used to draw runes on the door, that would be a different matter.

Everyone in the town knows that there are Fairy Liu and Fairy Yu in Bailin Valley, and they compete with each other for their beauty.

"Just such a small thing?"

Of course, with her senses, she could tell that it was a bat causing trouble even if she stood behind the door.

Xu Yuanchang stretched out a finger, tapped Xiao Shumei's forehead to push away the pestering spirit, and taught the little keyboard skills he learned from the Internet in his previous life to Liu Xianfeng, who likes to play novels.

There was once a gangster from out of town who didn't know the vegetable fairy and made rude remarks.

There is something evil going on in the old house like "ghost knocking on the door", so it is not advisable to publicize it to avoid affecting the reputation.

I just don’t know why, and I learned it again.

"At this time last night, I could hear a knock on the door."

Liu Xianfeng was interested in the young master's strange knowledge and asked: "What other novel folk skills can you teach me?"

Xu Yuanchang smiled and said: "There are not so many evil spirits in this world, but people's hearts are unpredictable. Maybe they just want to retaliate because of poor hospitality, and they want to ruin the family's feng shui. Everyone can do it."

The two parties greeted each other in front of the gate, and Shopkeeper Du greeted the two fairies politely.

It was actually a group of bats that caused the ghost knocking on the door.

She doesn't really have that much curiosity.

No wonder every time I open the door, I don’t see anyone knocking on the door. The bat is afraid of people and is so fast that it has flown away long ago.

Invite Daochang Xu to come in for tea and see if there is anything wrong with the old house.

"Soak raw eggs in vinegar for two or three days, wait until the eggshells are soft, and then put the eggs into a square wooden box of suitable size. Is it that simple?"

"How difficult do you think it is? The trick is just as thin as paper. If you don't figure it out, you won't be able to guess the mystery."

Xu Yuanchang continued to show off, saying: "Pindao also knows how to show writing on apples... Don't shake, don't shake. Today, Pindao will teach you how to cut the words written on the paper into hollow shapes, with some strokes between them." Remember to leave a connecting line between them, and then stick the paper with the hollow words on the side of the apple facing the sun. By using the sun's light for more than a month, you can leave miraculous writing on the fruit."

"Wow, this is fun. I'll try it tomorrow."

Liu Xianfeng's eyes were shining, eager to try.

Yu Fengwu smiled and listened to the strange and strange methods, but her mind was not on these aspects.

Returning to Bailin Valley, Liu Xianfeng couldn't wait to run to the kitchen and wipe out the eggs and vinegar. She wanted to make eggs in several shapes.

Xu Yuanchang sent Yu Fengwu to Xilin Valley and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yu Fengwu whispered: "Tomorrow, Old Turtle will visit Bailin Valley."

Xu Yuanchang understood. Elder Mei sent a message to Yu Fengwu in advance, and said nonchalantly: "Let him do it..." He suddenly paused, looked at the calm-looking woman, and said: "You want to fight with Lao Gui?"

Yu Fengwu smiled and said, "Can't you?"

She jumped up and flew into the air. She had long been unhappy with the old turtle.

With her here, Laogui still dares to come and ransack the house?

She had to recuperate tonight and a battle with Old Turtle was inevitable.

However, after this battle, regardless of victory or defeat, her peaceful life has come to an end, and her ancestor will not let her relax.

She is no longer a chess piece, but a hand that can affect the chessboard, but cannot control the direction of the chessboard.

She actually doesn't like that kind of life. She will use the excuse of honing her cultivation skills to travel out and stay away from the boring intrigues.

I wonder when I can return to Xilin Valley and live a leisurely life growing vegetables and enjoying the fireworks?

The strength is still not strong enough.

Xu Yuanchang watched that graceful figure disappear on the distant hilltop.

I am a little worried. I heard that Old Turtle is an old demon who fell from the fifth level and currently has the strength of the late fourth level.

Yu Daoyou has only been promoted for a month.

If you fight head-on with the old turtle, you won't suffer heavy losses, right?
The next morning, Xu Yuanchang made hand gestures to the mountain ridge to concentrate the spirit of the mountain. He regarded any pressure as tempering and did not allow himself to be impatient. He realized the stillness and calmness of the mountain to nourish his wood energy.

As the sun approached noon, Xu Yuanchang, who was practicing in the mountains, suddenly woke up.

He saw Liu Xianfeng drinking tea and chatting quietly with a white-robed scholar in the tree pavilion. It was Yan Ruoxing whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Yan Ruoxing stood up and apologized: "I still disturbed your entry practice. I told you to take a look at the scenery at the mountain gate and wait until you finish your practice before disturbing you. Fairy Liu said it was not the way to treat guests." Xu Yuan stepped forward with a smile and said: " Practitioners are on the path of cultivation every day, so don’t disturb them.”

He had to face the mountain ridge directly to practice the mountain pinching technique. It was inconvenient to cross the yard, and he still didn't have enough time to practice.

Looking at the elegant scholar, I can't see any changes.

"Yan Jiaoyu, have you broken through and advanced to the fourth floor?"

Xu Yuanchang asked directly.

The two of them were already familiar and informal.

"You should call me Brother Yan. Don't call me Jiaoyu or Senior. It's too harsh and sounds like you don't welcome me."

Yan Ruoxing joked as always, saying: "I successfully left seclusion at the end of last year and improved my cultivation to a higher level. I didn't go out until recently." He lowered his voice again: "I heard that your boy and Yu Meiren are neighbors. She spends every day I’ll cook for you…”

Suddenly he looked up and saw a woman in black clothes coming from the west.

Yan Ruoxing immediately regained his serious look and greeted warmly: "Sister Yu, long time no see. What a coincidence today..."

Looking at the woman who was about to unsheath the sword, Yan Ruoxing's undisguised determination made Yan Ruoxing wipe his eyes and shouted: "No way, when did you advance? No one has ever heard of you... No, you Don't stare at me like this, I'm here to be a guest, just have a conversation and leave."

A smile appeared on Yu Fengwu's lips: "It's better to come early than to come well. Brother Yan, let's fight."

She knew many people, but not many could sit down and drink tea.

Yan Shusheng, who talks interestingly, happens to be one of them.

"No, a gentleman talks but doesn't do anything. Don't bully me, a weak scholar who only knows how to read."

Yan Ruoxing was determined not to be fooled.

The sword cultivator of the Fourth Level Building, he only seeks abuse if he lacks the brain.

He had some success with his verbal and sword skills, but he would definitely not be able to match Yu Meizi's sword speed.

In the early years, he had seen Yu Meizi fight with a life-threatening face under the guise of a prosperous appearance, a dignified seven-foot man... He had better forget about studying, because it was degrading to be polite.

"Sister Yu, your opponent should be outside Dingzhou and the stars in the sky. Your style should not be too low."

Yan Ruoxing persuaded with earnest words.

Suddenly he turned his head and looked northeastward at the same time as Yu Fengwu.

Two black spots quickly fell towards the gate of Bailin Valley. The light dispersed, revealing Elder Mei and the ugly Xuan Jieqing with a bent neck and a hunchback.

"What day is today? Is Bailin Valley usually so busy?"

Yan Ruoxing asked doubtfully.

He has stayed in Qingping County for no less than ten years, but the four-storied buildings he has seen in these ten years are not as many as those he encountered in Bailin Valley today.

Yu Fengwu had already risen into the air, and nodded to the surprised Mei Yuanjian as a greeting. He locked his eyes on Xuan Jieqing, whose face became serious, and said with a cold expression: "I have been waiting for you for a long time, let's fight!"

Her invitation to Yan Ruoxing to fight was just a joke.

But if you want to vent your anger for Xu Yuanchang and Liu Xianfeng, it will take more than a day or two.

Xuan Jieqing followed and flew into the air. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the woman whose aura was getting higher and higher like a sharp sword unsheathed. He smiled sinisterly and said: "You have just entered the fourth floor. Your sword energy leaks out and is unstable. You are no match for me." , I advise you not to take action."

Yu Fengwu had already been immersed in the heart of the sword, and was not moved by the old turtle's words and tricks at all. She said coldly: "On our territory of Daning, how can we allow you to act recklessly in the name of detection and avenge private enemies? In today's battle, I will Stand up for your friends, please!”

Her figure retreated towards the south, rising higher and higher.

When Xuan Jieqing saw that Mei Yuanjian who was with him had no intention of dissuading him, he knew that today's battle was inevitable.

He snorted coldly and decided to harshly teach the young swordsman who knew nothing about the world.

He followed up and rose into the sky, but had no intention of moving the battlefield away from Bailin Valley. Wasn't he going to fight? Let's start here. He had no scruples, let alone the life and death of mortals.

Mei Yuanjian didn't know that Yu Fengwu had been promoted to the fourth floor, otherwise he would definitely prevent Xuan Jieqing from coming to Bailin Valley.

It is estimated that the Yu family does not know Yu Fengwu's current cultivation status.

The sword cultivator of Sizhonglou is very powerful and will become a pivotal figure in the Daning Dynasty in the future.

But not now. Mei Yuanjian was a little worried. He could not dissuade the stubborn Yu Fengwu. The girl had a changeable temper and would not listen to his advice. He pinched the fingers in his sleeves quickly.

In the valley, Liu Xianfeng had already activated the formation to the maximum, carrying small snow particles on his shoulders. He sent a message to Yaozhi to guard his home. At the urging of the young master, he flew high to the east with Yan Ruoxing.

"Two of you, this place is too close to mortal villages and towns. Let's learn from each other within a limit of three moves. Don't hurt the harmony, let alone cause death or injury to mortals. Otherwise, if Si Tiandian blames you, everyone will not be able to bear the blame."

Mei Yuanjian made a rough calculation and found that Yu Fengwu had a slightly better chance of winning. He felt a little strange and warned him.

Regardless of whether the two confronting people listen or not, he must restrain them.

Retreating several miles away in the east sky, Mei Yuanjian said to Yan Ruoxing who was greeting him: "When there will be aftermath of the battle, please help Ruoxing to eliminate it. This is really not a place for discussion."

"As it should be."

Before the two of them chatted much, Yu Fengwu, who had retreated several miles to the south, had already taken the lead.

Yu Fengwu raised her hands high and pointed them in the direction of Old Turtle, just like she was holding a hoe to dig in the vegetable field to clear up wasteland. She wanted to practice with Old Turtle and hone the sword spirit she had learned from trivial life.

A dazzling sword light rose up, making the sun in the sky almost eclipse.

Mei Yuanjian and Yan Ruoxing had shocked looks on their faces, and they had different feelings about the sword.

"It's wonderful, it's wonderful, 'the sky turns blue when the sword shines upon it', so powerful a sword is drawn, it can cause changes in the world!"

Yan Ruoxing was full of praise and wished he could have it with wine.

As long as the sword is not slashing towards him, he can just watch the show leisurely.

There was a smile in Mei Yuanjian's eyes. Yu Fengwu had not long been promoted to the cultivation level, but he was a genius and had already broken through the swordsmanship realm. I don't know how he did it? No wonder he was relieved that he dared to challenge the old turtle.

Xu Yuanchang could see that the sword intent contained in the dazzling glare was similar to the "movement" that Yu Fengwu taught him.

It was so majestic that the sky was shattering and the earth was shattering.

The pressure made him, a bystander, somewhat breathless.

Xuan Jieqing, who did not attack as a senior, but directly faced the opponent with a sword with a little power of heaven and earth, no longer dared to be beaten passively, and was cursing her mother in her heart, this human woman swordsman is too strong, she will fight with all her strength.

He raised his hands upwards, and a vague tortoise-shell shadow rose from his body.

The ancient tortoise patterns overlap and form a solid shield in an instant.

The sword light struck, "bang... click", the tortoise pattern shield broke layer by layer, making a harsh and sharp sound, followed by a loud roar, the tortoise pattern shield exploded completely, and the phantom of the turtle shell exploded in the sword energy Under the attack, a dazzling earthy yellow brilliance bloomed.

Xuan Jieqing's face looked a little ugly. He lightly lifted up with one hand and kept his feet motionless.

The slight sword intent attacking him was eliminated, and the anger in his heart became even stronger.

Because the female swordsman on the opposite side came with her second sword one after another, still using the same sword skills of opening and closing like a hoe. It was as ugly as possible. It was simply a humiliation to his senior.

The scholar in white who was watching the excitement in the distance was making ghost noises.

"Wonderful, wonderful! This sword should only exist in heaven, and it is rare to see it in the world."

It was so sour that he almost felt sick to his stomach.

If you fight, just fight. It's most annoying to have others recite poems to cheer you up.

Xuan Jieqing raised his hands again, and the re-condensed turtle pattern shield and turtle shell phantom faced the dazzling sword light, but he heard a sharp "chicha" sound, and his full protection was split into two. , I was shocked.

The moment the sword touched his head, Xuan Jieqing left an afterimage on the spot.

He used the teleportation technique to move three miles away and appeared more than ten feet away from the female sword cultivator.

He raised his fist as big as a millstone and punched the woman's pretty face that could be broken by bullets.

Hit someone in the face, no mercy.
