Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 251
"Eldest young master, be careful~!"

The sudden sound came from some hidden place nearby. It should be a warning from Yin soldiers and ghost messengers, and most of the Yin soldiers and ghost messengers here are Li Zhong's subordinates. It was Li Xiuyuan who brought the help this time.

Although it didn't help much, it was because such a battle was not something they could get involved in.

But now that this voice came, it made Li Xiuyuan instantly alert.

"Hey~!"

There was a whistling sound, and something seemed to fly out of the nearby forest, heading straight for Li Xiuyuan.

"Ang~!"

The dragon horse neighed, feeling a strong sense of danger and uneasiness. It wanted to save the Lord, but things happened so fast that even the dragon horse couldn't react in time.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan was alerted by the voice and immediately sensed the danger. The hairs all over his body stood on end, tensed up instantly, and subconsciously dodged.

He felt a gust of wind whizzing past his body, listening to the sound, he could imagine how powerful this flying thing contained, let alone a person, even a tiger, An elephant will be killed in an instant.

"Boom~!"

After avoiding this thing dangerously, there was only an explosion, and the nearby soil exploded, but a brass spear was deeply pierced into the ground, because the force was too strong, The tail of the spear was still humming and vibrating.

"Srustling~!"

It seemed that because Li Xiuyuan was not killed, there was a sudden sound in the forest, as if something had escaped.

"How are you? Are you okay?" Yan Chixia was startled and hurried over.

Everything happened in a blink of an eye, and no one was alert. Only Li Xiuyuan relied on the reminder of the ghost soldiers and his own martial arts to barely avoid this danger.

"I'm fine, what flew over just now?"

Li Xiuyuan was a little shocked.

The tree demons were all dead, and he really did not expect such a fatal attack at the last moment.

"It's a spear flying over, someone wants to kill you." Yan Chixia said.

"Why is it a human, not the old Heishan demon? I heard that tree demon call the old Heishan demon several times in a row, maybe it was the hands of the old Heishan demon." Xia Houwu walked over and said.

Yan Chixia said: "It is definitely a human being, and he is also a person with extraordinary martial arts skills. This spear was thrown by someone forcefully. Look, there are fingerprints on the spear. If it was done by the old demon of Montenegro If so, there should be a mana breath on it."

Li Xiuyuan took a look, sure enough, there was a palm print made by someone on it, and the fingerprints on it could be seen clearly.

"To be able to throw such a spear from such a long distance, the strength of that person is really terrifying. I am afraid that he is a warrior who specializes in training his strength."

Yan Chixia said: "But why does such a person appear in Lanruo Temple at this time in such a good manner, and even actively attacks you. It seems that this is not a coincidence, but intentionally waiting for an opportunity to ambush you."

"However, I'm afraid it has something to do with that old Black Mountain demon." Li Xiuyuan said in a deep voice.

If the thousand-year-old monster had the intention to drive a person, it would not be difficult at all.

It seems that just after he killed the tree demon, he turned around and was followed by the old black mountain demon.

This Montenegrin old demon is more ruthless, darker, and smarter.

In order to deal with him, he has completely discarded the magic power of demons and ghosts, and directly used mortal methods.

"Li Zhong, what happened in the forest just now. Do you know?" Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan asked to the left and right who were empty.

"Young Master, the man in the forest ran away very fast. There was a gust of evil wind supporting him, and the younger ones couldn't catch up to him."

At this time, a gust of dark wind blew up, Li Zhong brought a few ghost soldiers and ghosts back, panting and turned back, full of shame.

"Have you seen who it is?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Sure enough, this matter was done by the old demon of Montenegro, otherwise, how could an ordinary person not even catch up with the Yin soldiers and ghosts.

Li Zhong said: "The young one didn't see it clearly, but he only knew that he was a tall and burly man with a strong evil spirit."

"Is that so?" Li Xiuyuan frowned.

"Forget it, it might not be so easy to find the person who was taken away by the old Black Mountain demon, but you still have to send a few ghost soldiers and ghost officers to search around here to see if this person will continue to stay here or run away Yes, if you find out, report to me immediately." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Yes, young master."

Li Zhong responded, quickly disappeared into the darkness, and continued to look for the person who attacked Li Xiuyuan.

Seeing this, Yan Chixia smiled and said: "You are indeed a scholar, you actually have Yin soldiers and ghost messengers in captivity under your command, let them inquire about the news for you, I am afraid that there is nothing in this world that can be hidden from your eyes and ears."

"This is just a means of self-protection. If I am not strong, I will be killed by monsters. If I want to destroy monsters, there will naturally be monsters who will destroy me. This is a battle between you and me, so the means you can use Use them all."

Li Xiuyuan sighed helplessly and said: "I regret it a little now, maybe I shouldn't have worn this jade belt at the beginning, but after seeing the ghost, I went further and further on this road, and I'm afraid I can't turn back in the end .”

If he hadn't worn this jade belt back then, he would have continued to be his rich young master, married wives and concubines, and obtained fame in the examinations. How could he fight these monsters to the death, and these monsters are not ordinary monsters.

Either a monster who has practiced for hundreds of years, or a monster who has practiced for thousands of years.

After speaking, he looked at the wooden blocks left by the dryad's grandmother on the ground.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Although the dryad is dead, in order to prevent the dryad from resurfacing, let's set it on fire." Then, he took out a bucket of kerosene and poured it on, and picked up a piece of wood from the side. The dead branches, whose roots were still burning, ignited the fire.

The dryad's trunk made a crackling sound in the raging fire, and a lot of scarlet blood continued to radiate from it, carrying a stench.

"Haha, this fire was well lit, and it burned away a great disaster in the world. This matter is finally settled. Brother Xiahou, let's go back to the temple. This scholar still owes me three jars of wine. I will drink as much as I can with you today." I'll be drunk all night." Yan Chixia laughed loudly.

He is very nervous, so he doesn't feel so much emotion, he only knows that he is a little tired from eliminating demons, and wants to go back to drink and sleep.

"Okay, today we will compete to see who gets drunk first." Xia Houwu readily agreed.

Li Xiuyuan scanned the surroundings, and after making sure that nothing happened, he got on his horse and left the back mountain on his dragon horse.

After the tree demon was wiped out, the originally gloomy back mountain became less gloomy, and the previously dark sky also regained its brightness. Although it was night, the stars were still shining brightly, and the moon was hanging high. What a beautiful place night scene.

When he passed a cemetery.

Suddenly, I saw a woman in white clothes sitting on a grave mound. She looked melancholy and had many scars all over her body, as if she had been whipped.

"Nie Xiaoqian?" Li Xiuyuan recognized her immediately.

Nie Xiaoqian regained her composure and said, "I have met Mr. Li, thank you Mr. Li for taking action to eliminate grandma, so that I was able to get out of trouble and return to freedom."

"This is what I promised, and I will naturally do it. You are free now, why are you still sitting here sullen." Li Xiuyuan said.

"When Lanruo Temple was still there, I listened to monks chanting scriptures every night, and I devoted myself to practicing. Now that everything is gone, what can I do if I am free." Nie Xiaoqian said: "I am here waiting for Mr. Li I bid farewell to Mr. Li."

"Where are you going?" Li Xiuyuan asked with a change of expression.

Nie Xiaoqian said: "Since being a ghost is so painful, I'd better reincarnate. If there is a destiny in the next life, I will repay Mr. Li's great kindness."

After finishing speaking, he walked down the mound and prepared to leave.

"You're gone, what about Ning Caichen? He likes you very much." Li Xiuyuan said.

"He was just confused by my physical appearance, he didn't really love me, besides, I just met him by chance, but Mr. Li reminded me rightly, I should say goodbye to him before leaving, lest I leave without saying goodbye, making him think I failed him, after all I took the initiative to seduce him." Nie Xiaoqian said quietly.

"Since you have decided to reincarnate, go for it. This is a good thing. I should congratulate you." Li Xiuyuan nodded with a calm face.

This is indeed Nie Xiaoqian's ending.

In the end, she was reincarnated, and she didn't stay with anyone.

Just because of his appearance, the relationship between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian was not so deep before.

That's fine, Ning Caichen, who is in the province, is infatuated with Nie Xiaoqian, and has been waiting hard, but failed to fulfill his wish.

Nie Xiaoqian gave Li Xiuyuan a last salute, glanced at him gratefully, then hid her figure, turned into a gust of dark wind and blew towards Lanruo Temple.

The cloudy wind blew past, turned around in the mid-air, and blew into a meditation room in Lanruo Temple.

Ning Caichen who was sleeping on the couch immediately had a dream in a daze.

In the dream, someone was standing in the courtyard of the meditation room. Nie Xiaoqian, dressed in white, came out from nowhere, bowed in front of him and said, "Before, I was forced by the tree demon grandma to sell my appearance to seduce you. But this is not my original intention, you are a kind-hearted person, I can't bear to harm you, now the tree demon has been eliminated, I have regained my freedom, now I am going to reincarnate and become a human again."

"The fate between you and me ends here. This time I come to say goodbye to you. Thank you for helping me before. This kindness can only be repaid in the next life."

After finishing speaking, Nie Xiaoqian backed away slowly, and her figure gradually faded.

"Xiaoqian, don't go. Don't go."

In the dream, Ning Caichen tried his best to keep her, and stretched out his hand to grab it, but in the dream, he couldn't move, he could only freeze in place, watching Nie Xiaoqian leave.
