After the two of them ate, they looked at the sky and Xu Yang said," Alright, Brother Ning, let's hurry up. It looks like it's going to rain soon."
"Rain?" Ning Caichen, who was lying on the lawn and savoring the delicious food just now, was slightly stunned when he heard this. He looked at the sky and expressed his doubt. It didn't look like it was going to rain.
Xu Yang didn't explain. He stood up and left. After all, Xu Yang's magical ability was very convincing. After eating, Ning Caichen felt some strength. He got up with a grunt, carried his luggage, and walked quickly behind Xu Yang.
Sure enough, after walking for about two hours, when he saw the stone tablet of Guobei County in the distance, thunder sounded in the sky. At the same time, dense dark clouds drifted over from nowhere. Seeing this, Ning Caichen admired Xu Yang even more. He was indeed a divine foresight. If he had not quickened his pace, he might have become a drowned rat.
Near the county town of Guobei County, there was a small thatched pavilion on the road. Xu Yang and Ning Caichen hid in the pavilion. It didn't take long for the heavy rain to fall. The bean-sized raindrops made Ning Caichen feel lucky. He couldn't help but say words of admiration and reverence.
Looking at Ning Caichen's expression, Xu Yang secretly smiled. In the original novel, Ning Caichen was drenched in the rain and the account book was wet. He couldn't see anything clearly. The innkeeper naturally refused to give him the silver, so he had no choice but to stay in Lanruo Temple. Now that the account book was not wet, perhaps he would not go to Lanruo Temple again.
If one had to put it bluntly, it was like the original novel, where humans and ghosts loved each other. In the end, Nie Xiaoqian reincarnated, but she still ended up as a couple who could not get together. Today, he had changed his fate. He did not need to stay in Lanruo Temple anymore, nor did he need to start a love that was destined to be a tragedy. Perhaps, it might not be a bad thing for him.
At this moment, a flurry of footsteps sounded. Immediately, seven or eight people ran over in a panic. Behind them, a swordsman with a sword was chasing after them.
Ning Caichen was naturally afraid when he saw the scene of killing. However, he felt safe with Xu Yang by his side. He just hid behind Xu Yang.
Xu Yang looked at the other party carefully. This swordsman's strength was not weak. Although he could not compare with him, he was still a first-class master. How could these bandits be his opponent? They were easily killed by him.
After killing all the bandits, the swordsman stood in the rain and looked at Xu Yang and Ning Caichen. Then, he put away his sword and entered the pavilion.
The pavilion was used to shelter people from the rain and the sun. The decoration was naturally simple. There was only a stone table and two stone stools. Ning Caichen was a bit afraid of the swordsman, so he hid behind Xu Yang and left a stone stool empty. The swordsman sat down without hesitation.
"Brother Xiahou?" Xu Yang turned his head and looked at the swordsman beside him. Although it was a question, it was an affirmative tone. This person was obviously Swordsman Xiahou, who was killed by the tree spirit granny of Lanruo Temple after a fight in A Chinese Ghost Story.
Swordsman Xia Hou was very strong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been qualified to dream of being the best swordsman in the world. In the original novel, he was only a little weaker than Yan Chixia. Unfortunately, he was only a swordsman after all. He didn't have the ability to subdue demons. He was also bewitched by the female ghost, so he was easily killed by Lanruo's tree spirit.
"Who are you? Do you know me?" Swordsman Xiahou's expression tightened. He placed his palm on the scabbard and asked.
Taoist priest, do you know this person?" Even Ning Caichen asked cautiously when he heard Xu Yang call Swordsman Xia Hou.
"Brother Xiahou, are you going for Yan Chixia of Lanruo Temple?”Xu Yang ignored Swordsman Xiahou's hostility and asked.
"Who are you? Not only do you know me, but you also know Yan Chixia? How did you know Yan Chixia was in Lanruo Temple?”，Swordsman Xia Hou's expression became even more suspicious. He pulled out his sword and stared at Xu Yang.
"Have you forgotten? I can calculate." Turning around, Xu Yang smiled at Ning Caichen and replied. Then, he turned around and said to Swordsman Xiahou,"" Brother Xiahou, you don't look like a bad person. It's just that you're too competitive. I'll give you a divination."
"Hmph, you are a Taoist priest, and so is Yan Chixia. Did he send you?”，Swordsman Xia Hou obviously did not believe Xu Yang easily. He snorted and questioned Xu Yang. He suspected that Xu Yang and Yan Chixia were in cahoots.
"Brother Xiahou, this trip is dangerous. If you insist on going to Lanruo Temple, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your life.”Xu Yang shook his head and said regretfully to Swordsman Xiahou, trying to persuade him to turn back.
Although Xu Yang had never thought of himself as a good person who would sacrifice himself for others, if he could save someone with just a lift of his hand, Xu Yang still wanted to give it a try.
"Hmph, how can you believe all the words of a martial arts practitioner? In my life, I hate Taoist priests the most. Go back and tell Yan Chixia that I will definitely go to Lanruo Temple tonight and compete with him.”Swordsman Xiahou obviously didn't listen to Xu Yang's words. However, he didn't have any intention of attacking. He sheathed his sword and left the pavilion, ignoring the heavy rain outside.
It was not until Swordsman Xia Hou's figure completely disappeared in the rain that Ning Caichen opened his mouth and asked Xu Yang,""Taoist priest, you said he will die? Would such a powerful person like him die?”。
Yes, in Ning Caichen's opinion, the bandits in the world were very scary. However, Swordsman Xia Hou killed these bandits easily with one sword. He was even more powerful. How could someone as powerful as him die? Ning Caichen found it unbelievable.
"Your martial arts are powerful, but you can't stop demons and ghosts.”Xu Yang shook his head and sighed.
Being able to save him was his good fortune. If he couldn't save him, Xu Yang could only sigh regretfully. He was determined to court death. Who could stop him?
In fact, Xu Yang already had some guesses about Swordsman Xiahou's persistence. In the original novel, even if Swordsman Xiahou was killed by Granny Dryad, he still wanted to kill Yan Chixia when Yan Chixia buried his bones. His obsession with Yan Chixia could be said to have gone mad. If he could be persuaded by Xu Yang, then he was not Swordsman Xiahou.
