Yan Chixia knew very well that it was not easy for a poor scholar to accumulate so much merit in this chaotic world.

No, it should be said that it is not easy.

Yan Chixia herself understands this very well.

Ning Caichen's mouth was almost watering after not eating meat for a long time, but the character and morality he had cultivated over a long period of time still restrained him.

"If I eat this chicken, then hero...?"

"Don't worry, a certain family still has it!"

Yan Chixia took out a pack of beef, opened it on her knees, grabbed a few pieces and put them in her mouth to chew.

Taking off the wine gourd from his waist, 'Gudu' took a sip and felt a stream of water mixed with blood energy, spiritual energy, and alcoholic energy. It fell into his stomach and quickly dispersed, and soon his whole body became warm.

"happy!"

Seeing that he still had something to eat, Ning Caichen stopped being polite and rubbed his hands on his clothes, pulled off a chicken drumstick, put it into his mouth and started chewing.

He hadn't tasted meat in months.

After finishing a pack of beef, Yan Chixia drank wine and glanced at Ning Caichen, who was devouring her food next to her.

"Scholar, if you don't want to take the exam to gain fame, what are you doing here in the mountains and plains when you have nothing to do?"

"Xiaosheng came here to collect debts in Guangping County." Ning Caichen swallowed the muscles in his mouth and patted his chest before saying.

"Collect the bill? Just you?!"

Ning Caichen showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Although Xiaosheng is weak, he is still young at least. As long as he goes there a few more times, he can always get some out."

Yan Chixia was speechless.

Obviously, Ning Caichen's method of collecting debts is to pester him every day. If the pester can't bear it anymore, he will ask for some amount of debt.

Of course, there was also a beating in the middle. At any rate, he is young and his body can withstand the torment.

"Seeing that you are also a literate person, even if you fail the examination, writing letters and copying scriptures for others, being a teacher is better than being beaten every day."

Seeing the look in Yan Chixia's eyes that said, "Are you mentally ill?" Ning Caichen lowered his head and spoke in a low tone.

"These accounts are all things that my father told me to recover when he was still alive."

Yan Chixia nodded.

"How much do these owed silvers total?"

"A total of three hundred and fourteen taels."

This number can be said to be engraved in Ning Caichen's bones.

"So your family was very wealthy before!"

In this era, the monthly salary of the county magistrate in the government office was only three or four taels of silver. Of course, this is only a covert search, which naturally far exceeds this number.

However, this also shows the value of one tael of silver in Dayong.

The Ning family can lend out more than three hundred taels of silver, which means they have at least several thousand taels, or even ten thousand taels of wealth.

Ning Caichen nodded.

"My Ning family was originally a wealthy businessman in Lingling Prefecture. Our family has thousands of hectares of fertile land and a fortune. We are always willing to do good things and help our neighbors. However, unexpected events occurred. The Liu Chaosheng uprising three years ago swept Lingling Prefecture. My Ning family Although he escaped, he lost all his property."

"My parents also died on the way to escape. When things calm down, I will return to Lingling Mansion. Unfortunately, the governor saw that I was weak and colluded with the Ning family members to misappropriate my family's property and kicked me out."

After a pause and a heavy breath, Ning Caichen calmed down his turbulent thoughts.

"In order to avoid their persecution, I escaped in the name of collecting debts."

Yan Chixia nodded.

"I can't tell that your experience has been so tortuous." After a pause, "You haven't thought about taking back the property?"

After a self-deprecating smile.

"The governor of Lingling Prefecture is the uncle-in-law of the inspector of Hanping Province. He is colluding and has no way to appeal. Although I have real talents and knowledge, the governor has canceled my registration long ago, and my path to the imperial examination has been cut off."

"I don't dare to think about taking back the land. I just plan to use some of these three hundred taels of silver to change places and start my life again."

Yan Chixia glanced at him.

Although Ning Caichen's idea seems very cowardly, it is indeed the most rational and wise choice now.

"There are so many corrupt officials in the world!"

Yan Chixia sighed.

If he hadn't witnessed the darkness in the officialdom, he wouldn't have thought of being born in the world, but chose to join the Xuanjing Division.

Ning Caichen was about to nod in agreement when suddenly a strong and cold wind blew in from outside the door.

Yan Chixia's expression suddenly changed.

"Ghost spirit!"

"You stay here and don't run around!"

Ning Caichen saw his solemn expression and was about to ask, but Yan Chixia had already flown out like lightning.

He activated his escaping light and chased the ghost energy to the back of Lanruo Temple. Suddenly, a ghost claw several feet in size suddenly shot down from mid-air.

"Heaven and earth are infinite, and the universe borrows the law!"

A golden Tai Chi pattern appeared in the palm of his hand. He raised his palm and clapped it. The force of heaven and earth surged forward and instantly shattered the ghost claw.

A figure in a red dress flew upside down for more than ten feet and landed on the top of a pine tree.

Yan Chixia was shocked at the sight.

"Grudge!"

Resentful ghosts are golden elixir level ghosts and are very powerful.

"Brother Taoist priest, you are so ignorant of Lian Xian Xiaoyu that you beat and kill him as soon as you come up!" said the female ghost in red with a seductive look on her face.

Although in the illusion of Di Shenmen, Yan Chixia once married a wife and had children, in reality he was indeed an out-and-out Lu man! Insulate yourself from love affairs between men and women.

After hearing this, a look of disgust immediately appeared on his face.

"Even if a certain family gets a wife, they won't marry an ugly woman like you!"

One sentence instantly made the female ghost furious.

When a woman becomes a ghost, the most annoying thing is that people say she is ugly!

"You deserve to die!"

"You, a ghost, should go to reincarnation as early as possible. ...Xuanyuan Sword, unsheath it!"

'Choke', accompanied by Qingyue's sword cry, the former Spirit Spider Sword, now the Xuanyuan Sword, flew out from the sword box behind his back with a bright sword light.

"Dragon Sword Style!"

The long sword's light surged, and the sharp sword energy turned into a rainbow, as fast as lightning, flying towards the female ghost.

The female ghost's expression changed, and under the influence of ghost energy, the red silk around her waist instantly greeted her.

It can be seen that this is also a ghost weapon.

However, under the Xuanyuan Sword, it quickly turned into pieces.

The sword energy was extremely sharp, with the evil energy of killing demons and the pure sword intention, overwhelming the female ghost.

"ah!"

A shrill scream sounded.

Soon an extremely dim ghost energy disappeared into the ground.

"Stinky Taoist, grandma will not let you go."

"Want to run!"

The phantom of the bronze mirror in Dantian was activated, and Yan Chixia activated the Xuanyuan Sword.

"Flying Dragon Sword Style."

The extremely sharp sword energy turned into a soft long whip and flew straight to the ground.

‘Chi Chi’ The earth and rocks shattered and turned into powder under the sharp sword energy.

"not good!"

Yan Chixia's expression changed, and she activated the escape light, reaching a very high altitude in an instant.

'Boom...', the ground trembled, and dozens of thick tree roots flew out from the ground, like giant pythons, rising into the air and wrapping around him.

"Suzaku Sword Style!"

The Xuanyuan Sword instantly turned into hundreds of swords. Following Yan Chixia's sword finger, it was like a meteorite falling from the sky, slashing towards the tree roots like lightning.

Although the roots of the tree are extremely tough, the Xuanyuan Sword is a magic weapon of the Eight Taoist Taboos.

As soon as the two sides touched, the tree roots as thick as a water tank were cut off instantly.

With a "boom", after the tree roots fell to the ground, the earth trembled, and the gravel and soil turned into a huge sandstorm. The broken tree roots twisted violently like snakes, making people's scalp numb.

"Stinky Taoist priest, how dare you hurt me!"

A voice that was neither male nor female came from underground.

In the pine forest on the mountain behind Lanruo Temple, tree roots of all sizes spurt out from the ground.

The astonishing momentum made Yan Chixia look excited.

Yes, it’s excitement.

This was the first time he encountered a demon in the Nascent Soul stage since he started training.

"Finally I can let go and have a good fight."

Xuanyuan Sword behind him seemed to be aware of his emotions, buzzing and trembling, and the sound of the sword became more and more intense.

Magical power rolled out of Yan Chixia's body.

"Suzaku Sword Style!"

Xuanyuan Sword transformed into two and two into four, covering the sky in the blink of an eye.

The power is far stronger than before.

"Old monster, look at my magical sword!"

The overwhelming flying swords headed straight towards the roots of the tree.

As soon as the two sides touched each other, countless flying swords were destroyed, and countless tree roots broke and fell down.

Suddenly, a black light was faster than lightning, covertly and quickly penetrated the broken root and magic sword, and plunged straight into Yan Chixia's chest.

It happened suddenly, and it happened very fast.

Yan Chixia had no time to take back the Xuanyuan Sword, but with a master like Xu Junming, she would not have to worry about having no treasure to protect her.

He activated the Hutian Spirit Talisman and moved his body ten feet in an instant, dodging easily.

Looking at a few pictures, the black tree roots with a strong aura are obviously different from the thick tree roots around them.

A reminder of the Pot Heaven Spirit Talisman.

"Space slash!"

This is the Taoism that Xu Junming comprehended after he understood Hutian Taoism to the purple fundamental talisman stage.

It is also the only attack-like Tao method among his Hu Tian Tao methods.

The Hutian Talisman given to Yan Chixia contains this application.

Motivated by Yan Chixia's thoughts, a three-foot-long jet-black crack quickly passed through the roots of the black tree.

There is no doubt that under the powerful space method, the black tree root, which is as hard as the magic weapon of perfection, breaks instantly.

"ah…!"

A shrill roar of pain sounded instantly.

"Stinky Taoist, just wait for me!"

The black tree roots, together with those that were fighting Xuanyuan Sword, quickly retracted underground.

Yan Chixia stood in mid-air, activated the phantom of the bronze mirror in her dantian, and looked toward the ground.

Once his gaze penetrated a mile, he could no longer continue.

After all, it is just a phantom of Xu Junming's bronze mirror, not the real thing.

The bronze mirror's ability to remove illusions and retain reality is only limited to Yan Chixia.

Of course, if you use clairvoyance, you can see farther with the help of a bronze mirror, but you can't penetrate the ground.

Shaked his head.

Reach out and make a move.

A wooden stake six feet long, as thick as an adult's thigh, and with a deep texture fell into his hand.

"What a strong Yimu spirit!"

Soon his brows furrowed again.

This Yimu Qi also contains extremely rich ghost Qi.

"It's such a pity. Otherwise, with the richness of Yimu's Qi, it would be possible to cultivate a top-notch magic weapon."

Income Jianlu.

"Take it back and show it to Master. He is a famous craftsman. Maybe there is a way to remove the ghost spirit from it."

After taking a brief look at the battlefield below, he activated his flying light and flew towards Lanruo Temple in front.
