Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 236 The Dryad Appears

Lanruo Temple, at nightfall.

"Come on, drink, dry."

In the Daxiong Palace, Yan Chixia raised the wine jar to signal to Li Xiuyuan, and then unceremoniously drank it, pouring mouthfuls of the grape wine into her mouth, and swallowed it gulpfully, with a look of great enjoyment on her face. sensuality.

Although he drank boldly, he was extremely careful when pouring the wine, not spilling a drop, which shows that he cherishes such fine wine very much.

Compared to Yan Chixia's boldness, Li Xiuyuan just held a jade cup and sipped down.

"Although the wine is good, don't get drunk, Lanruo Temple is not peaceful tonight." Li Xiuyuan said.

Yan Chixia put down the wine jar, wiped her mouth, and took a long sip: "Good wine, happy, you are a scholar, you are so refreshing, I am willing to drink such fine wine, but don't worry, I won't cause trouble by drinking, if there are evil spirits, The demon is coming, and I just use this alcohol to fight it."

Li Xiuyuan smiled, compared to Yan Chixia's careless appearance, he was always vigilant.

But when he was drinking with Yan Chixia.

Beside a small stream not far from Lanruo Temple.

Xia Houwu was lighting a bonfire by the stream at the moment, took off his shirt, took the wound medicine and smeared it on his chest, only to see a long bruise on his chest, which seemed to be hit by some blunt instrument.

"That scholar, he has such fierce strength. With the help of his horsepower, he sent me flying with one move. If he had the intention to kill, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk in front of him for three rounds. This master of horse fighting It's really extraordinary, no wonder Yan Chixia said that no matter how good her sword skills are, it's just a trick of the rivers and lakes and can't be put on the stage."

He was ashamed and angry.

As a master of martial arts and a master of swordsmanship, Xia Houwu is also a well-known existence in the green forest. Although he is not as good as Yan Chixia, he is not far behind.

However, it's nothing if he didn't beat Yan Chixia today, and even lost to a scholar. It would really be shameless if it got out.

"But I won't give up. I can't beat that scholar, but I must agree to Yan Chixia. I will recover from my injury for a few days, and then I will challenge him later." Xia Houwu thought to himself again.

What he is fighting for is the reputation of the best sword in the world, there is no need to compete with a master of horse fighting like Li Xiuyuan, such a master is the most important weapon of the country, he can be a general of the court, and his power shakes the whole place. on the road.

"Who~!"

Suddenly, Xia Houwu noticed some movement, he stretched out his hand to grab it, held the sword in his hand, and became vigilant, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and looked in the direction of the movement.

However, Xia Houwu's pupils shrank very quickly.

He saw a woman in white clothes, with a charming smile, and an overpowering appearance and figure, walking towards here step by step.

A gust of cool wind blew up nearby, blowing her hair, and a faint fragrance spread over her face.

When Xia Houwu saw the woman's appearance, he was immediately attracted, but he calmed down slightly and asked, "Girl, who are you?"

"My family is a passing traveler. I originally wanted to go to a nearby temple for lodging. However, I lost my way for a while. It was getting late and I didn't know where to go. When I saw a fire here, I was attracted to it. I hope The strong man can make it easy for the servants to borrow a fire to drive away the cold air." The woman begged with a weak and pitiful look.

Xia Houwu was fascinated by the woman's appearance, he didn't suspect anything else, and immediately said: "This is a trivial matter, please sit here, miss."

"Thank you, strong man." The woman said gratefully.

However, when she sat down, she actively leaned towards Xia Houwu again.

Before getting close, Xia Houwu could smell the delicate fragrance from the woman's body. For a while, his heart was agitated, and all kinds of evil thoughts arose
"Hoo~!"

Seeing this, the woman in white let out a sigh of relief for leaving Xia Houwu behind.

Xia Houwu immediately became dazed when he smelled this qi, he felt as if he had entered a fairyland, his whole body felt light, the vigilance in his heart and the previous instructions of Li Xiuyuan and Yan Chixia had long been forgotten, and he forgot The second is clean, right now I just want to hug and possess this peerless beauty.

"Giggle."

The woman in white teased him and resorted to some seductive tricks. Xia Houwu, who was fascinated, was dizzy and couldn't extricate himself.

But at this unknowingly, the roots of many ancient trees extended out from nowhere beside the fire. These roots were densely packed, some were as thin as strings, and some were as thick as tree trunks. Stretching out, as if to wrap his whole body together.

Seeing this, the woman in white immediately pushed Xia Houwu away and left his side.

"Beauty, don't go." Xia Houwu smiled foolishly.

"Srustling~!"

However, at this time, the tree roots surrounded by the surrounding area were like beasts sneaking in. The prey had already entered the net. At this moment, it was time to close the net. Countless tree roots flew towards Xia Houwu densely, wanting to reach into his mouth. , into the ear, piercing through his body, sucking his blood.

"what?"

Seeing this scene, Xia Houwu was instantly horrified. Although he was fascinated by the beauty, the instinct of a top swordsman was still there, and he woke up immediately when he felt the danger.

Subconsciously, he grabbed the sword beside him.

However, he found that the sword that was always by his side had been thrown far away by the woman at some point, and he couldn't grab it for a while.

Now the roots came rushing, fast and furious.

"Ang~!"

Suddenly, there was a neighing sound of a steed, and a white dragon horse rushed over from somewhere, and directly hit Xia Houwu into the air.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The flying tree roots pierced through the air, piercing several holes in the ground where Xia Houwu was.

The ground is like this, if it is stuck on a person, there is no life.

"Really, are there really monsters?"

Shocked and angry, Xia Houwu hurried to the river to get the sword, cut off several flying tree roots, and managed to save his life.

The dragon horse neighed, and after breaking a few tree roots, it jumped up, flew up, and ran towards Lanruo Temple.

"Yan Chixia is right. There really are ghosts in Lanruo Temple. That beautiful woman is definitely not a human, but a ghost. She came to confuse me and take my life."

Xiahou Wusao looked around and saw that the beautiful woman just now had disappeared, so he knew he had been tricked.

Seeing the dragon horse flying away again, he reacted immediately, but he cut off the root of the tree alone with his sword, killed it, and ran towards Lanruo Temple.

A kendo master fought desperately, even ghosts and gods had to retreat, the evil spirit and thick blood energy emitted from his body, the nearby tree roots were not as fierce as before, and became a little weak, and finally had to quickly retreat, retreat Into the nearby dense forest.

"Damn it, he escaped all of this."

In the dim woods, a middle-aged man who looked like a man and a woman came out with a gloomy expression, making a hoarse and angry voice.

"Grandma, this person only knows a little martial arts, how could grandma miss?" said a woman in white next to him.

Grandma slapped her violently; "What do you know? He is a master of martial arts. As long as he doesn't have evil thoughts and is not taken advantage of by ghosts and ghosts to show his flaws, it will take a lot of effort to kill him, and the horse just now The sudden appearance of Longma disrupted my arrangement, which made him escape, do you really think grandma can't deal with a mere mortal?"

The woman was slapped to the ground, covering her face with a look of grief.

But soon grandma showed a gentle smile again, helped her up, reached out and touched the slapped cheek, and said softly: "Xiaoqian, you are the most capable female ghost under my hands, can you If you tempt him once, I believe you can seduce him a second time, and tonight is still long, you go to Lanruo Temple again, and dig out the heart of the man who escaped, after the matter is done, grandma will grant you three days off."

"Yes, but grandma, there is a bearded man in Lanruo Temple now, he can cast down demons and eliminate demons." Nie Xiaoqian said with fear and fear.

"You are so smart, you will definitely find a way, grandma believes in you."

Grandma said with a smile, and then patted her on the shoulder; "Go, don't let grandma down."

Nie Xiaoqian had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

At this moment in Lanruo Temple.

Accompanied by the neighing of a steed, the dragon horse crossed the gate of the temple, stepped on the roof and came to the front of the treasure hall.

"Hey, your horse is back."

Yan Chixia, whose face was flushed with drunkenness and whose eyes were a little dazed, hiccupped and said.

"It's my horse. He came back so early. It seems that something happened to Xia Houwu. I don't know if he was rescued." Li Xiuyuan said.

If nothing happened, Ryoma would not come back so early.

The dragon horse called out a few times, which seemed to indicate that someone was coming.

Sure enough, soon a man who didn't even wear a jacket, holding a sword, still in shock, ran towards the burning Daxiong Palace panting.

This person is none other than Xia Houwu.
