The heavens start with Kung Fu Panda

Chapter 249 Shadow Bearing Sword

……

"Hero Yan, Hero Xiahou, calm down, calm down, my own..."

Seeing that Yan Chixia and Xiahou were about to make a move, Ning Caichen was taken aback on the spot, and hurriedly stood in the middle, waving his hands to signal Yan Chixia and Xiahou not to be nervous.

"Brother Ning, are you confused? How can we and her be our own?! She is an evil ghost who has killed countless people. What are you doing, come here quickly!"

Zhu Xiaolian didn't take Ning Caichen's words seriously, he just thought that he was fascinated by ghosts, so he still persuaded him to come here quickly.

"No, this has nothing to do with Xiaoqian, she was also forced, she was forced, all this is due to that damned tree demon, it has nothing to do with Xiaoqian..."

Ning Caichen disagreed with Zhu Xiaolian's words, and loudly helped Nie Xiaoqian argue and explain.

Seeing his excited appearance, Yan Chixia's eyes were full of hatred for iron and steel. After all, he is a rather old-fashioned and decent person, and Ning Caichen was entangled with ghosts, which made him very displeased.

Xia Hou's attitude is that he finds it interesting. After all, this is the first time he has actually seen the taboo topic of humans and ghosts except in the novels.

"Sorry, I object to this door..."

Zhu Xiaolian felt unwilling and wanted to say something.

But Jiang Minghao glanced at him and interrupted him directly.

"Shut up, a man is a man with a talent and a woman with a beautiful face, a natural match, why is it your turn to object here, an ugly monster? Continue to face the wall and think about it!"

"No, cousin, I even..."

"If you push Lai Lai again, I will let Yan Chixia and Xiahou beat you together!"

"..."

Seeing that his plan to fish in troubled waters was unsuccessful, Zhu Xiaolian curled his lips helplessly, turned around and continued to face the wall.

Jiang Minghao signaled Yan Chixia and Xiahou to relax, and let Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian enter the hall.

Only then did he ask: "Brother Ning, what happened to calling us outside just now?"

"Master Jiang, what I just said is true. Xiaoqian was also forced to do nothing. That tree demon controlled her body and forced her to seduce passers-by..."

"We don't need to discuss this matter!"

Ning Caichen wanted to explain to Nie Xiaoqian, but Jiang Minghao was really not interested in the story between him and a female ghost, so he interrupted Ning Caichen directly.

"I'm not very interested in her life experience, Brother Ning, if you have anything to say, just tell me straight!"

"Ok."

Interrupted by Jiang Minghao, Ning Caichen was at a loss for words at first, but continued:

"I want to help Xiaoqian get out of the control of that tree demon, and I need to take her urn, but when I went to dig it, I found that Xiaoqian's urn was gone. With a few jars, so?"

"Oh, tell me about this."

Jiang Minghao agreed very readily: "Go and get it yourself. The reason we dug it up is to help these lonely ghosts get out of this place. Brother Ning, you don't have to be polite."

"Thank you, Young Master Jiang."

Seeing Jiang Minghao agreeing, Ning Caichen felt relieved, stood up and bowed solemnly, then walked aside, and with the help of Nie Xiaoqian, picked out her urn.

After getting the urn, Ning Caichen was about to bid farewell and leave here.

At this time, Xia Hou said: "Scholar Ning, I suggest you not choose to leave at this time!"

"Hero Xiahou, what is the meaning of this?"

"Don't get me wrong, I just want to tell you that the night is so dark, it's the time when ghosts and ghosts haunt, and there are all kinds of wild beasts wandering outside. It's not safe for you as a scholar. Besides, if you meet that tree demon, you two It's all over!"

"Ah, so what should I do?"

Ning Caichen thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the case, so he asked with some anxiety.

"Why don't you rest for a night first, and wait until tomorrow morning, we have dealt with that tree demon before you leave?"

"That's it... then I will trouble you!"

Ning Caichen cupped his fists and bowed to several people, then led Nie Xiaoqian up to the attic.

With a female ghost beside him, he always felt that other people's eyes were a little strange.

So in order to avoid embarrassment, I think it is better for Nie Xiaoqian to avoid it.

Everyone watched Ning Caichen holding Nie Xiaoqian's urn and leading Nie Xiaoqian towards the attic step by step.

Looking at Nie Xiaoqian's graceful back, Zhu Xiaolian couldn't help but a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

As a scholar, why is Ning Caichen able to "look at people and ghosts at night", but he has to "look at the empty wall and think about his past", where did he lose?

"Ouch!"

Before Zhu Xiaolian could figure it out, he felt a pain in his head.

A chicken bone fell from the top of his head, and Jiang Minghao's gloomy voice came from behind.

"Do you want me to release that little green just now, so that you can experience it too?"

"..."

Thinking of Xiaoqing's ferocious face, Zhu Xiaolian shuddered in his heart and quickly waved his hands.

"No, no, thank you cousin..."

Ning Caichen took Nie Xiaoqian upstairs.

The hall was quiet again, except for the occasional crackling sound from the bonfire.

"Um……"

Just when Zhu Xiaolian was falling asleep, there was a faintly seductive sound above his head.

The whole person was refreshed in an instant, and looked up at the top of the attic, feeling as if he had eaten ten catties of lemons, his tears were hazy, and the envy in his eyes was almost overflowing.

The three people who had come by the campfire looked at each other, and they all saw the color of playfulness in each other's eyes.

Nothing in the night

This made Zhu Xiaolian's tormenting night pass quietly.

early morning
The humidity in the mountains is heavy, and a thick layer of mist covers the entire mountain forest. This should be a scene of vitality, but the mountain forest is dead silent, only the cool wind blows the leaves and rustles.

Outside the main hall of Lanruo Temple, densely packed tree roots looked like poisonous snakes, surrounding the entire main hall, rushing madly towards the main hall.

Nie Xiaoqian and Xiaoqing didn't return all night last night. They are the two most powerful underlings of the dryad's grandmother. Xiaoqing is fine, but Nie Xiaoqian is an important figure in its relationship with the Black Mountain old demon.

Moreover, it has betrothed Nie Xiaoqian to the Black Mountain old demon recently, and the day of marriage will come soon. If Nie Xiaoqian cannot be handed over by then, it is hard to guarantee that the Black Mountain old demon will not directly use its life to vent.

The dryad's grandmother was worried, and in addition, only 'Yan Chixia' had the strength to keep Nie Xiaoqian in the whole mountain, so she rushed here early in the morning, wanting to get Yan Chixia to hand over Nie Xiaoqian!
rustling...

Xia Hou was holding the long sword, leaning against the wall and closing his eyes to rest.

Hearing a strange noise from outside, he opened his eyes suddenly.

Shi Qinggong ran to the door to have a look, and immediately saw the overwhelming tree roots swarming towards him.

"Young master is not good, tree demon..."

Surprised, he was about to speak out to warn him, when a warm palm patted his shoulder.

Jiang Minghao and Yan Chixia had come to him at some point.

Seeing Jiang Minghao and Yan Chixia, Xiahou felt a little settled.

At this time, Zhu Xiaolian who heard the noise and Ning Caichen upstairs also ran out.

When he saw the weird scene surrounded by tree roots outside, Ning Caichen asked very worriedly:

"Several heroes, what shall we do?"

"How to do?"

"Hmph, of course I did it!"

Because of Jiang Minghao's intervention, Ning Caichen failed to show his brave, upright, and daring to sacrifice for love in front of Yan Chixia like in the original drama.

So Yan Chixia has always lacked a good impression of him who got involved with the female ghost.

After casting a cold glance at Ning Caichen, Yan Chixia stopped talking nonsense and took out a handful of talismans from her bosom.

"Heaven and Earth are boundless, Qiankun borrows the law!"

Talismans were thrown out like rain.

Yan Chixia has a mixed heritage, including Taoism and Buddhism.

These talismans drawn by himself contained a lot of exploding aura.

When encountering a tree demon full of yin energy, it will immediately ignite the spiritual energy in it, causing a huge explosion.

Bang!
flickering fire
The raging flames rose instantly, and quickly spread around like ink-stained clear water.

The tree roots were stained with flames, as if they were dehydrated, and quickly withered and turned into a pile of powder on the ground.

"Yan Chixia!"

Neither male nor female, strange and terrifying roars came from all directions in the mountains and forests like a tsunami.

"You and I have made an agreement that the well water will not interfere with the river water, so why do you want to attack my subordinates? Hurry up and hand over Xiaoqian and Xiaoqing, or I will kill you all!"

"Hmph, temptress, your tone is not small."

"I've wanted to eradicate you for a long time, and today you came just in time, sir, I will send you on your way!"

Yan Chixia flew out, turned around in the air, and shot out three sharp cold needles, fiercely shooting towards the surrounding tree roots.

Bang!
The magic needle engraved with the spell pierced the clone of the dryad, triggering a series of explosions instantly.

bang bang bang...

The turbulent wind and waves raged around, countless sawdust flying in mid-air.

The pain completely angered the dryad grandma, and a black shadow flashed across the woods.

A man wearing a coat, with neither male nor female face, who looked really strange walked out slowly.

"Yan Chixia, since that's the case, you all stay here today!"

The Dryad waved his hand, and several vines with the baby's arms flew out of his arms in an instant, baring his teeth and claws, attacking Yan Chixia like poisonous snakes.

call out!
Faced with the tree demon's attack, Yan Chixia retreated instead of advancing, and the long sword locked in the sword box behind her back was unsheathed instantly.

"Heaven and Earth are boundless, Qiankun borrows the law!"

Zheng!
The huge sword energy instantly filled the entire world.

The terrifying and sharp breath scraped off three inches of the ground abruptly, and Xia Hou, who was watching the battle, couldn't help being terrified.

"Is this the true strength of Brother Yan? It turns out that he was really letting go before!"

Among the spells inherited by Yan Chixia, there is a secret technique called "Hidden Sword Technique", which is somewhat similar to the "closed-mouth meditation" magical power of Buddhism. The long sword is stored in the box, and the longer it is stored, the greater its power. It's easy to get out of the sheath.

Now as soon as it was unsheathed, a terrifying chill immediately climbed into the tree demon's heart.

It knew that if it was hit by the next blow, it would definitely die.

call out!
The mana vibrated in the air, and Yan Chixia turned into a phantom and disappeared in place.

The long sword cut through the air and made a sharp and piercing sound.

In an instant, the phantom pierced the dryad's grandmother completely.

Bang!
There was a violent explosion, the flames ignited, and the tree demon was completely torn apart.

Seeing this scene, Ning Caichen immediately said pleasantly: "The tree demon is dead? We won?"

"no!"

Jiang Minghao's words were like pouring a basin of cold water on his head.

"The tree demon went underground and ran away, what Yan Chixia hit just now was its clone!"

Sure enough, when the smoke and dust cleared, there was an unfathomable hole where the Dryad was standing just now.

Yan Chixia had foreseen this situation long ago, the tree demon used this method to escape his sure-kill attacks many times.

Otherwise, if the Dryad was really easy to deal with, he wouldn't have been dragged in Lanruo Temple for so long.

Yan Chixia looked around vigilantly, nervously searching for the tree demon's location.

At this time, Jiang Minghao at the entrance of the main hall suddenly said:
"Xiahou, this sword is for you!"

I saw him take out an item out of thin air.

An empty hilt, just a hilt but no sword hilt?
But the strange thing is that the moment the hilt appeared, a sharp sword energy made the three people next to Xiahou couldn't help but pimple their skin.

As a swordsman, Xia Hou naturally had a deep understanding of swords, and when he saw the empty hilt, he immediately had a guess in his heart.

"My lord, this, this is Chengying Sword?" Xiahou asked stammeringly.

"Ok!"

Jiang Minghao nodded, affirming his guess.

The Shadow Bearing Sword, shadowless and invisible, is one of the top ten famous swords in ancient times, like the Xuanyuan Sword in Yan Chixia's hand. Neither the blade nor the means can be seen.

This sword belonged to 'Auntie', the land demon fairy in Wanhualin. She and the fat monk were going to live in seclusion in the mountains. It was useless to keep such a murderous weapon by her side, so she gave it to Jiang Minghao directly when he left.

But Jiang Minghao himself didn't have much need for weapons, and the Yingying Sword was of little use to him.

It just so happens that Xiahou who is subdued now is a top swordsman who can bring out the greatest value of the Chengying Sword, so I want to use it for Xiahou.

"Thank you son!"

Xiahou solemnly took over the Yingying Sword from Jiang Minghao.

For a swordsman, a good sword is tantamount to surpassing everything, let alone one of the legendary top ten famous swords in ancient times.

At this moment, the excitement in Xiahou's heart was clearly written on his face.

"I have applied immortality to this sword, which can directly kill the dryad's body. You go and help Yan Chixia, and quickly deal with the dryad!"

"Yes, son!"

Xiahou took the order and jumped up.

Yan Chixia was on alert, alert to the surrounding situation.

At this time, a sound of breaking through the air came from behind him, very fast, and he was about to be caught by the tongue of the tree demon.

At the critical moment, Xiahou descended from the sky with nothing in his hand, but easily cut off the tree demon's tongue in an instant.

"what……"

A shrill cry of pain came from the ground in an instant.

The crisis was resolved, and Xia Hou fell to Yan Chixia's side.

"Brother Yan!"

"Brother Xiahou?"

"On the shoulders?"

"it is good!"

Yan Chixia didn't refuse, she jumped up, and Xiahou and Xiahou attacked the tree demon again.

Using their flexible movements, the two knights got entangled with the tree demon who had countless clones.

At the beginning, the tree demon was not afraid at all. The trees in the entire mountain were its avatars, and its main body could be switched among these trees at will. As long as it couldn't hit its main body, it would not die. At most, it would lose some avatars and cultivation.

But as time went by, the dryad gradually realized something was wrong.

Every time Xiahou hits its clone, part of the damage will be fed back to its body. As it gets hit more and more times, its body will become weaker and weaker. If it continues like this, it will definitely die in the on the spot.

Junjie
Faced with this weird situation, the Dryad chose to retreat without hesitation.

"Yan Chixia, please wait for me, this matter is not over yet, you better hand over Xiaoqian as soon as possible, otherwise you will have good fruit to eat by then!"

After speaking, the tree demon disappeared without a trace, and the densely packed tree roots on the ground also faded away like the tide.

What's strange is that Yan Chixia and Xiahou stood quietly at the same spot, without the slightest intention of chasing and killing them, and just watched the tree demon leave.

"Two heroes, who are you?" Ning Caichen looked at the two suspiciously, didn't they agree to eradicate the tree demon?This chance of victory is right in front of you, why don't you move?
"Scholar Ning, don't worry, the big fish hasn't come out yet, it would be too bad to kill the little one now!" Yan Chixia and Xia Hou looked at each other, a strange smile flashed across their faces...
