ugly man

Dongfang Lubai, the watchman in the town also returned home to rest.

Lu Nanzhu silently jumped down from the ancient tree, took a deep look at Xia Qinyi's window, turned and left.

I took back the wooden box hidden in the ruined temple, changed back into women's clothes, and headed north all the way, it's time to go home.

Lu Nanzhu walked non-stop for a few days before slowing down. She once again successfully guarded Tianshan Mountain. Although the method was not as majestic as her master, Lu Nanzhu was satisfied.

There are more than 50 taels of silver in the package. Thanks to Xia Qinyi, she can buy more winter supplies and go home.

But I don't know why, but I can't be happy...

Lu Nanzhu came to Qingzhou, bought a mule cart, and then went to the North and South Grocery Store to pick out winter reserves.

Thick quilts are a must, as well as five baskets of silver charcoal. The winter in Tianshan is cold and long, and there are five families, each with one basket.

The necessary salt for life, and pig iron.

With five stones of polished rice and five buckets of white noodles, the villagers of Shiyin Village could hardly eat fine grains. Now she has enough money to bring the whole village to spend a luxury!

Lu Nanzhu simply bought five palm-wide pieces of bacon, cakes, the four treasures of the study, two feet of wicks, two barrels of lamp oil, needles and threads, five thick pieces of cloth, ten catties of cotton wool...

"That's all, shopkeeper, how much is the total?"

The shopkeeper of the grocery store narrowed his eyes with a smile, and handed the written list to Lu Nanzhu with both hands: "Girl, Chenghui has a total of 46 taels of taels, and I will waive the taels of money for you. This is the list, please check it out."

Lu Nanzhu looked at the list in his hand and the goods listed on the ground, and sighed softly: "Shopkeeper, please, take a basket of silver charcoal, as well as bacon, half a stone for polished rice, a bucket of white flour, and... just come Four bolts of cloth."

"Okay!" The clerk quickly moved out the few pieces that Lu Nanzhu had removed, and the shopkeeper fiddled with the abacus, and quoted a price with a smile.

After hearing this, Lu Nanzhu let out a sigh of relief, paid the money, and the man loaded the things into the mule cart.

Lu Nanzhu counted the rest of the money, it was exactly ten taels, she hooked the corner of her mouth, wrapped the money, put it in the carriage, and drove the mule cart out of Qingzhou City slowly.

Back in Shiyin Village, Lu Nanzhu left half a stone of rice, a quilt, some lamp oil, salt and pig iron, and distributed the rest equally to other residents in the village.

The Four Treasures of the Study Room were bought for Xiao Huzi, and now that he has regained his sight, Lu Nanzhu decided to teach Xiao Huzi and Xiao Douya how to read and write.

Seeing the happy and grateful faces of the villagers, Lu Nanzhu's chest felt warm.

The old man Ding in the west of the village lit the only iron stove in the village, and his uncontrollable smile deepened the gully on his face. He yelled in his mouth and happily waved his hammer to cast the pig iron that Lu Nanzhu bought into kitchen knives and pots. , sickles and axes were distributed to the people in the village.

Lu Nanzhu stepped on the thick snow and walked around the village. Shiyin Village is not small. She looked at the half-abandoned houses in the village and imagined the grand occasion of Shiyin Village.

Originally, when she was a child, there were more than a dozen households here. Later, she ran back to the village with her ugly face and disheveled hair. The villagers mistook her for an ogre who came down from the Tianshan Mountains. At that time, there were only five households left in the village.

They are all aged and have no savings, so they can only continue to live on the barren land at the risk of being eaten by "monsters".

Lu Nanzhu felt the weight on her shoulders. Maybe in another ten or twenty years, this village will be completely deserted, but before that, she must guard it well.

She raised her head, and at some point there was another heavy snowfall, Lu Nanzhu spread her hands, and the snow flakes silently melted in her palm.

After the joy of sharing faded, the inexplicable emotion before came back, which made Lu Nanzhu very uncomfortable.

It seemed that she left something important outside the village, but she couldn't figure out what it was, so she could only hang her heart in vain.

Thousands of miles away in the southwest, people from the rivers and lakes attracted by Lu Nanzhu arrived at the foot of Tianqiong Mountain one after another. Not only was the Tianqiong Mountain full of people, even the small town inn was also crowded.

People from the rivers and lakes searched the entire town but could not find any trace of the ugly man, but Situ Kong, the head of the Tianqiong Sword Sect, joined forces with Hou Rulie, the head of the Lie Dao Sect, and the three old masters of Huaxia Villa to jointly launch an alliance to resist the Demon Cult.

Among them, many people were unwilling. The Demon Sect was cruel and merciless. If one was not careful, he would die.

The Demon Cult seemed determined to take over Tianqiong Mountain, and the two sides had frequent friction.

War is imminent!

Not only the members of the Devil's Cult, but also the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, the cave master of Ten Thousand Snake Cave, and even the head of the Ligui Sect, who has been rumored to be at odds with the Devil's Cult, also brought their elites to help out.

Finally on New Year's Eve, the war broke out!

The leader of the Demon Cult fights Master Jueyuan of Faguang Temple.

The leader of the Five Poison Sect fights against Situ Kong, the head of the Sky Sword Sect.

The cave master of Ten Thousand Snake Cave fights Hou Rulie, the master of Lie Dao Sect.

The master of Li Guimen fights against the three old masters of Huaxia Villa.

The juniors below are fighting like a raging fire. The Demon Cult's jade-faced fox Gongsun Qing led the two envoys of the Wildfire Shura to fight Xia Qinyi, the eldest lady of Huaxia Villa, Su Mubai of the Tianqiong Sword Sect, and the suffering monk of Faguang Temple.

The eight leading figures from the good and the evil sides fought duel on the top of Tianqiong Mountain, and the rest of them took the small town below the mountain as their battlefield.

"Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet." Xia Qinyi almost fell into Gongsun Qing's hands twice. Xia Qinyi did not hesitate to pick Gongsun Qing as her opponent, while Su Mubai fought against Huanghuo, and Monk Jieku fought against Shura.

Gongsun Qing was in the same mood as Xia Qinyi, she missed the Phoenix Blood Saber twice, she couldn't beat the Chou Xia, but someone had to come out and make her count!

With a sound of "Ding!", the swords collided.

Gongsun Qing held the sword against the Phoenix Blood Knife, looked down at Xia Qinyi slightly, with a disdainful smile on her face, and said, "This time without him helping you, let me see how you can keep the Phoenix Blood Knife!"

Xia Qinyi didn't expect that the jade-faced fox would suddenly mention the ugly man. In a daze, Gongsun Qing kicked Xia Qinyi heavily on the lower abdomen.

Xia Qinyi backed away in pain, tongues of flame spewed out of anger, shouted coquettishly, and used the 36-way Tiangang knife technique, and the fiery red blade covered the sky and covered the ground for a while.

Gongsun Qing's pupils shrank, she had seen this move before, when she was under the arena, and now she truly realized the power of this move when she was in the middle of it.

Gongsun Qing took several steps back, but the blade was even faster, rushing towards her face!

Beads of sweat ooze from Gongsun Qing's forehead. This eldest lady has a sweet appearance, but her moves are so domineering and vicious!

Gongsun Qing retreated again and again, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and her dantian jumped up high, which was exactly the same as the method of resolving the ugly man that day.

Xia Qinyi is very clear that there are only two ways to break this pose, one is to wave the same sword energy to counteract it, and the other is to jump in the air to avoid the sharp edge.

Everything is in her expectation!

Xia Qinyi jumped up almost at the same time as Gongsun Qing, brandishing the Phoenix Blood Knife in her hand and slashing at Gongsun Qing's chest!

Gongsun Qing hurriedly imitated the appearance of the ugly man and held the long sword in front of her chest. In order to prevent the sword from being heavy and deflected and hurting herself, Gongsun Qing put the palm of her right hand against the front of the long sword.

With a sound of "ding", the phoenix blood knife slashed heavily on the long sword. Although Gongsun Qing tried to defuse Xia Qinyi's attack in a hurry like an ugly hero, the weapon in Gongsun Qing's hand was not the Canglong Sword after all.

Under Gongsun Qing's gaze, the long sword bent into a bow shape, and then quickly returned to its original shape, releasing all the force on Gongsun Qing's body.

Gongsun Qing let out a muffled snort, and flew back a foot before landing staggeringly.

Xia Qinyi saw that the jade-faced fox used almost exactly the same moves as the ugly man, and became inexplicably angry.

Holding the Phoenix Blood Knife, he pressed forward, and said in the tone of a jade-faced fox just now: "Even if you crack it in exactly the same way, the weapon in your hand can't stop the Phoenix Blood Knife!"

Hearing the hints in Xia Qinyi's words, Gongsun Qing thought of the person who prevented her from getting the Phoenix Blood Knife twice, and her teeth itched with hatred: "The eldest lady of Huaxia Villa is so cheap, and he will I see you!"

What Gongsun Qing said was an angry sentence, but Xia Qinyi's movements were sluggish again.

Gongsun Qing didn't let go of this slight flaw, and stabbed Xia Qinyi's chest with a poisonous needle feint!

With a sound of "ding", Xia Qinyi opened Gongsun Qing's sword: "Despicable!"

Gongsun Qing distanced herself from Xia Qinyi, thinking to herself: This set of saber techniques is domineering and fierce, plus the Phoenix Blood Saber... I'm afraid I will suffer a loss if I continue to fight like this, it's better to disturb her mind first, and attack her unprepared way is the best policy!

Having figured this out, Gongsun Qing didn't rush to attack anymore, she raised her long sword and confronted Xia Qinyi, looked at Xia Qinyi with a clear look, and said pretending to be frivolous: "Don't you know that he helped you because he loves you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!?" Xia Qinyi's pretty face flushed, and she didn't know whether she was angry or ashamed by the jade-faced fox's frivolous words.

"Yo, so you don't know, he didn't hesitate to violate the sacred will of the leader for you, and blocked the wildfire Shura for you in the ring, have you forgotten?"

Gongsun Qing's voice was not low, Xia Qinyi looked around nervously, but fortunately, everyone was focused on their own battle situation and no one noticed.

Seeing Xia Qinyi's reaction, Gongsun Qing knew that her plan had worked, and felt uneasy when she was proud. Maybe the lie was so true that she believed it herself.

Thinking of that dumb gourd, maybe it was really because of admiration for the young lady in front of her that she helped her, Gongsun Qing felt very uncomfortable!
