Taiping Inn

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "It's easy to say it, the sage said, "There must be my teacher when three people walk. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones. Take our governor Lu for example, swaying with the wind is An excellent ability, but not forgetting one's original intention is a valuable quality. In dealing with people, you must not be extreme. There is nothing wrong with proper flattery, which is conducive to dealing with others, but you cannot use this as the foundation of building the world. The original intention is of course a good thing, but you should also pay attention to the methods and methods. Compromise when it is time to compromise. Even if it is a detour, as long as the goal has not changed, it is not wrong."

Zhou Shuning nodded and said, "It tastes like that."

"What does it taste?" Li Xuan's face froze.

Zhou Shuning said, "It's so good to be a teacher."

Li Xuandu coughed lightly: "Let's talk less, let's go to the inn in the center of the town first, where the ghosts have been cleaned up in advance."

The young woman asked, "Why do we have to spend the night in the town? Why don't we go back?"

Li Xuandu said, "Of course you can go back, and I can also protect you and go back, but I still have to hurry up. I don't have so much time to accompany you, I only have a thousand days to be a thief. How can I guard against thieves for a thousand days? So I can't retreat. I spend the night in the town today and set off early tomorrow morning, so that I won't waste my time."

The young woman frowned slightly: "Will there be no problem tomorrow morning?"

Li Xuandu said, "Maybe."

While talking, the group passed by a shop and suddenly heard a "tuk-tuk" knocking behind the door panel of the shop.

The two girls from the Xuannv Sect were shocked and looked at the door panel, fearing that the door panel would break in the next moment and some monster would run out of it.

Li Xuan just took a look, and the sound disappeared invisibly.

The group continued to move forward, and without any warning, a wall appeared on the street to block the way. The harsh sound of nails scratching the wall came from behind the wall. The sound was sharp. After hearing this, it made people feel like a cat scratching his heart and feeling uncomfortable. Incomparable.

"Is this... a ghost hitting a wall?" A young Xuannv Sect disciple said in confusion.

Li Xuan didn't hesitate to kick the wall, and all the sounds disappeared instantly, and the wall disappeared.

Several women couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw this scene.

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Men, especially adult men, are very angry, and ordinary ghosts and evil spirits are not close to each other, so it is not worth fussing. In fact, there are many local ways to deal with these ghosts and monsters, such as turning around and peeing..."

Before he finished speaking, the young woman interrupted in a deep voice: "We know, Lord Liu doesn't need to say in detail."

Li Xuandu laughed and continued to move forward, saying, "These things have no lethality, but they can disrupt people's minds. If you are afraid, your courage will be weak, and then the invisible ghosts and ghosts can take advantage of the situation and seize it. Your mind has caused you to fall into many illusions, so I don’t need to say more about what’s next.”

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Shuning suddenly felt in the darkness, as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at him. In a vague way, there were sounds of inauthentic sounds in his ears. At first glance, it seemed that someone was whispering in a low voice. , it seemed like she was muttering late at night. She suddenly looked over, but she could not see Li Xuandu and others. She saw that there was a lot of darkness, with more and more things in it, blurry and silhouette, making people feel cold on their backs.

"No, I'm falling into the illusion." Zhou Shuning felt awe-inspiring in her heart. As the saying goes, the doubtful dark ghosts arise. The more afraid they are at this time, the more they will be taken advantage of by evil evil.

Buddhism says that the mind is distracted, and it refers to the human mind, like a monkey and a wild horse, which is difficult to control. The more Zhou Shuning didn't want to think about these things, the more she fell into fear. Even if she silently recites the "Bing Xin Mouth" of Xuannv Sect in her heart, she still cannot calm down. Because it is extremely difficult to take shortcuts in mind and nature. Even though she already knows that this is the method of Zaoge Sect, she still can't help but feel a little scared. Just like someone who is not sick, but knows too much, but because he has many insignificant symptoms on his body, he will suspect that he is sick. Under self-suggestion, the symptoms on his body have worsened, so he will aggravate his suspicion. He will die of fear after repeated cycles. It is not something that cannot be understood if you die in worry. On the other hand, ignorance and fearlessness are the same. For example, if you have seen many dead people, you will still feel different when you really end a person's life with your own hands.

Suddenly, Zhou Shuning found that there was wind sweeping over his head.

She suddenly looked over and saw two ghost fires hanging in the dark sky, like two lanterns hanging high.

Zhou Shuning stared at the two ghost fires, and felt sweat beads slowly oozing out of her palms, like a ray of light on her back, her scalp became cold, and her fear became louder and louder. A few low laughter came from her faintly. It seems that someone is hiding in secret to secretly peeking at Zhou Shuning's joke, adding a bit of gloomy atmosphere.

Before she knew it, Zhou Shuning's palm holding "Feng Yu" had already begun to tremble slightly. She could no longer help but slashed at the pair of lanterns with a sword.

However, this sword failed to hurt the lantern, but a black shadow fell from the sky. At the same time, the pair of ghost fire lanterns began to grow bigger, as if they were about to land in the world from heaven.

In a blink of an eye, the black shadow had occupied all Zhou Shuning's sight, and the pair of ghost fire lanterns were like two suns, hanging high in the sky.

After all, Zhou Shuning had just entered the martial arts world not long ago. Not long ago, she was just a young lady from an official family. Unlike Li Xuandu, she had not seen many battles. At this moment, she did not see anyone else and had no courage at all. She felt that her hands and feet were out of control. Although she knew it in her heart, her hands and feet were soft and she had no strength at all. Even the "Phoenix Feather" in her hand fell to the ground with a "clang".

At this moment, Zhou Shuning suddenly felt someone patting her shoulder. Her figure shook, and the black shadow in front of her began to shrink rapidly. The pair of ghost fire lanterns also showed their formation. It was not a lantern or a sun, but a pair of eyes.

Zhou Shuning looked carefully and found that it was a crow perched on the treetop, croaking, and the person who patted her shoulder was Li Xuandu.

Zhou Shuning glanced at Li Xuandu and asked blankly, "I...what happened to me?"

Li Xuandu said, "You and the crow on the tree fell in love, and you were bewitched. Although this illusion can't do anything to you, what if there is an enemy hiding in the dark? Even if the realm is not as good as yours, even if you have a treasure in your hand, do you still have the strength to fight back?"

Zhou Shuning's heart was awed, and she hurriedly looked down. Sure enough, the "Phoenix Feather" that she was holding in her hand had fallen to the ground at some point, and the other three looked at her in surprise.

In the eyes of the other people, Zhou Shuning suddenly stopped, and then stared blankly at the crow on the tree, and even lost the dagger in her hand, as if she was possessed by an evil spirit. In a sense, this can also be regarded as being possessed by an evil spirit.

Zhou Shuning picked up the "Phoenix Feather" on the ground, took a few deep breaths, and then calmed down. She couldn't imagine that if there was no Qingluan Guard, could the four of them get out alone?

Zhou Shuning wanted to move forward, but found that her whole body was a little stiff. She thought it was because of the evil spirit entering her body. She hurriedly circulated her Qi silently, which slightly relieved it.

At this moment, another sound of footsteps came from the end of the street opposite the few people. Because it had just rained, the ground was still wet and there was some water. Although there was no one, there were clearly visible footprints on the ground.

Suddenly, a figure appeared not far away from the few people. He was wearing mourning clothes, lowering his head, and his face could not be seen clearly.

Li Xuan did not speak.

The figure walked slowly and raised his head little by little. It was a young woman with delicate eyebrows and eyes, not scary. Then she grinned at the women, and the corners of her mouth were pulled to the roots of her ears. Her bloody mouth was full of jagged and sharp teeth.

Human teeth are square, but this woman's teeth are triangular.

The faces of the women were scared pale.

Li Xuandu looked calm, and with a light shout, a strong and masculine energy rolled outward, like the rising sun or a raging fire.

In an instant, there were no more footprints, and no more white clothes.
