Soon, the rain stopped. Ning Caichen packed up and was about to go to the county town to collect the debt. However, Xu Yang had no intention of following him into the county town. He was going with Ning Caichen only because his destination was Lanruo Temple. Since he was already there, there was no need to follow him.
Ning Caichen was very reluctant to leave when he heard that Xu Yang was going to leave. However, all good things must come to an end. Ning Caichen didn't say much. After saying goodbye to each other, he carried his luggage and walked into the county town.
Looking at his back, Xu Yang sighed in his heart. To him, losing Nie Xiaoqian was not joy but sorrow.
Shaking his head, he thought," I've been feeling a lot lately." Xu Yang also left the pavilion and Lanruo Temple. Xu Yang only knew that it was near Guobei County, but he didn't know which direction it was. However, this wasn't a problem. The direction Swordsman Xiahou left in should be the direction of Lanruo Temple.
The road after the heavy rain was very difficult to walk on. Some places were so muddy that it was as deep as one's calf. However, it was as easy as walking on flat ground for Xu Yang.
After walking for a few miles, they finally arrived at a forest. As soon as they entered the forest, Xu Yang felt as if he was being spied on. The air seemed to carry a kind of coldness that made him feel very uncomfortable.
Ordinary people might not be able to feel it, but Xu Yang's spiritual sense was very sharp. He could clearly feel that the surroundings seemed to be filled with a cold aura. It was no wonder that cultivators wanted to subdue demons and devils. Putting aside other things, just the demonic qi and ghost qi that pervaded the air made them feel very uncomfortable.
In this forest, there were corpses everywhere that had not been cleaned up. Occasionally, there were even wolf howls. No wonder the people of Guobei County changed their expressions when they heard Lanruo Temple, even in this chaotic world where people ate people. The corpses that could be seen everywhere on the road, coupled with the gloomy atmosphere here, made people feel scared.
Lanruo Temple!
In the distance, a dilapidated temple appeared in Xu Yang's eyes. A stone tablet was half covered by vines. Xu Yang stretched out his hand and pushed away the vines. These three words were engraved on the stone tablet.
After taking a few more steps forward, a figure jumped out of Lanruo Temple and shouted in a rough voice,"" Who are you?!"
It was self-evident who the person who jumped out of Lanruo Temple was. Xu Yang looked at him carefully. He carried a sword case on his back and held a fine steel sword in his hand. He had a full beard and a strong physique. His entire body emitted a strong and vigorous aura.
In this chaotic world where people ate each other, this rough face was naturally very intimidating. It made people feel that he was not a good person at first glance.
However, Yan Chixia was also a good person and a chivalrous person. In the original novel, Yan Chixia was touched by Ning Caichen's kindness and friendship. He even said that Ning Caichen was a good person that had disappeared in the world today, but he also said that Ning Caichen was very similar to his younger self.
"I'm Xu Yang. I came to Lanruo Temple to discuss Dao with you.”Xu Yang replied.
Yan Chixia saw that the person in front of him spoke elegantly and had an extraordinary temperament. In this chaotic world, to be able to have such a bearing and talk, he was definitely not an ordinary person. He was either rich and noble and did not have to worry about his livelihood, or he had unique skills and looked down on the common people.
However, Xu Yang said that he wanted to discuss the Dao with him. It seemed that it was the latter. This made Yan Chixia frown slightly. Swordsman Xiahou was already very annoying to him. Now, there was another one?
"It's not convenient. You can go." Yan Chixia refused. On one hand, he really didn't want to waste time on the martial arts competition. On the other hand, Lanruo Temple was full of demons and monsters. He was a warrior who didn't have the ability to subdue demons and monsters. It was also very dangerous.
Hah!
At this moment, a shout sounded. Immediately, a figure jumped down from the sky and stood between Xu Yang and Yan Chixia. He unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Yan Chixia, shouting,""Yan Chixia, I've finally found you.”。
The newcomer was Swordsman Xiahou. Yan Chixia frowned even more when he saw him. Swordsman Xiahou was really persistent. Ever since he was defeated by Yan Chixia, he seemed to be possessed and kept challenging Yan Chixia to a sword fight. Yan Chixia did not expect to be found by Swordsman Xiahou when he was hiding in Lanruo Temple.
Seeing Swordsman Xiahou appear, Xu Yang was not in a hurry. He would let them finish the competition first. Swordsman Xiahou left earlier than him but arrived later than him. It seemed that he attached great importance to this competition. Because he had killed some bandits, he had consumed some energy. Therefore, he adjusted his breath on the way and recovered his peak condition before coming over.
Yan Chixia didn't want to use his sword against Swordsman Xiahou, but Swordsman Xiahou didn't care and attacked him directly. How could he just wait for death? Yan Chixia could only helplessly raise his sword to meet it.
After fighting for a while, Yan Chixia could not hold back under the pressure of Swordsman Xia Hou. Other than using his full strength, the sword light between the two of them flashed.
After another hundred or eighty moves, Yan Chixia was still the one who was better. He cut Swordsman Xiahou's arm with one sword. Swordsman Xiahou could clearly feel that Yan Chixia's swordsmanship was better than before. However, Yan Chixia lectured him, saying that Swordsman Xiahou was too ruthless, had a greater desire for fame, and that his sword was fast but not accurate.
He was defeated by Yan Chixia once again, and he could clearly feel that Yan Chixia's swordsmanship had improved.
He had made some progress these days and thought that the gap between the two sides had narrowed. Unexpectedly, it seemed to have widened. In addition, Swordsman Xiahou was in a bad mood after being lectured by Yan Chixia. He left Lanruo Temple after saying a few harsh words.
After Swordsman Xiahou left, Xu Yang took a few steps forward.
"You want to make a move too?" As he spoke, his bell-like eyes swept over Xu Yang.
"No, I won't do it. I said that I'm only here to discuss Dao with you, not sword or martial arts.”，Xu Yang smiled and shook his head.
"Dao discussion?" This time, Yan Chixia was slightly stunned. He sized up Xu Yang again with a touch of suspicion."You? Are you also a cultivator?"
Xu Yang nodded with a smile and said,"This is one of the reasons. Secondly, this Lanruo Temple is full of demons and ghosts. I should join hands with you, Yan Chixia, to sweep away the Qingping here.”。
"You are indeed a kindred spirit." Hearing that Xu Yang was a cultivator and knew that there were demons and ghosts in Lanruo Temple, Yan Chixia's face immediately turned bright. He looked at Xu Yang happily.
To have a kindred spirit and such a chivalrous heart naturally made Yan Chixia extremely happy. He felt as if he had found a confidant.
