I want to cultivate swordsman

At three o'clock in the morning, the two returned to the rented house.

Zhao Liangcai said to the two guards guarding the door: "There are strange things in this village, if there is something knocking on the door in the middle of the night, you two must not open it, who knows if it's true or not, it's better to be fake. "

The two guards glanced at each other, a little puzzled.

Zhao Liangcai ran into Gu Qingyue's room again, told all the things he heard in the village just now, and patted his chest to promise that if something happened, he would protect Gu Qingyue, and finally proposed tonight He wanted to stay in Gu Qingyue's room overnight to prevent accidents, but was kicked out by the maid in green.

Back in his room, Zhao Liangcai complained: "That Xiao He really doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, my son's good intentions were completely misinterpreted by her."

Xu Zhiqiu ignored him, hung the mahogany sword on the beam of the door, and then walked out of the door again with the Taoist long sword on his back. Zhao Liangcai didn't dare to stay in the room alone because of Qiniang's matter, so he hurriedly asked: "Master, what are you doing?" Where is this going?"

Xu Zhiqiu, who didn't want to explain further, was afraid that Zhao Liangcai would follow him again, so he said, "The mahogany sword on the door beam can restrain evil spirits. You should stay in the house and don't follow, otherwise it won't work when you enter again."

The last sentence was a lie uttered later, but Zhao Liangcai didn't understand it, he didn't have any doubts about what Xu Zhiqiu said, he was relieved from the bottom of his heart, he wasn't so scared anymore, and obediently lay down on the bed and began to rest.

Xu Zhiqiu, who walked out the door, did not leave the yard. He jumped onto the top of the beam, then took out the Taoist long sword from behind, and continued the unfinished refinement. Now his strength has reached the peak of the twelfth level of Qi training In addition, the Heavenly Aperture was opened in advance, and the speed of refining the Dao weapon was also shorter than before, and it could be completed in just a few more nights.

With a thought, the true energy came out through the body, outlining the golden magic circle and spinning around. This movement was not too big, and the people in the room could not notice it, but the golden luster was still a bit conspicuous in the dark night. The two gatekeepers The guards saw it clearly.

Both of them are mortals, and they don't know what Xu Zhiqiu is doing. They only thought that he was practicing hard, so they didn't dare to disturb him. Their eyes became more and more awed. Before they set off, they were told The young man was a celestial being, so he was not surprised.

……

In this way, an hour passed, and it was the first moment of Haishi.

Xu Zhiqiu, who was refining the Taoist weapon, suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the end of the village. Then he carried the Taoist weapon and long sword behind him, and walked into the darkness alone. When the guard at the gate saw Xu Zhiqiu leaving, he asked, "Mr. Xu is going to go?" Where", but got no response.

At the north end of the village, the wild dog lying beside the haystack suddenly jumped up and barked in front of him for no reason.

"Wow, woof, woof, woof..."

The loud barking of dogs attracted wild dogs from other places to bark too.

At this time, a woman appeared on the roadside at the head of the village. Under the cover of night, no one knew how she appeared, as if she appeared out of thin air following the night wind.

She didn't look very old, she was nodding in her thirties at most, she was wearing mended coarse cloth clothes, with a basket slung between her arms, her appearance was ordinary, even a little ugly.

She walked into the village along the road, stopped when she saw the house, and knocked on the gate of the house with her free left hand.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Boom boom boom——"

The knock on the door was very loud, but there was no response from the house.After knocking like this for a while, she walked to the door of the next house with a blank face and continued knocking.

"squeak~"

This time, the main room in the courtyard was opened, and an old man with gray beard and bad legs and feet came out of the house. He walked to the back of the courtyard door and looked at the woman outside the courtyard door through the crack of the door. Feelings of regret and regret.

The old man said: "Qiniang, it's been a few years, and the resentment in your heart still hasn't let go? Why bother, why bother."

The woman called Qiniang didn't respond, but just knocked on the courtyard door expressionlessly.

After a while, the courtyard door did not open, so Qiniang turned around and continued to walk towards the next courtyard door. Seeing that she was about to leave, the old man behind the door sighed, and suddenly opened the courtyard door in front of her.

The old man said to Qiniang's back: "Qiniang, I didn't dare to open the door for you at that time, but now I will."

"Whoosh!"

The moment the courtyard door opened, a cold wind blew in, and Qiniang, who had just walked away, appeared at the courtyard door. She stared at the old man and stretched out to grab his neck.

The old man didn't dodge at all, and closed his eyes as if accepting his fate.

At this moment, a long sword as dark as an abyss blocked between Qiniang and the old man, followed by the long sword slapping towards Qiniang's body, Qiniang backed uncontrollably.

This sudden change caused the old man to open his eyes. When he saw clearly who the young man appeared in front of him, he couldn't help being taken aback. He remembered that this man was passing by from a foreign country, and he had seen him at Qiniang's memorial tablet before, but he never thought of him will appear at this time.

Xu Zhiqiu stared at Qiniang and didn't act immediately, the yin energy surrounding this woman was not strong, it should be only ghosts in the Wandering Soul Realm, such ghosts could be killed in an instant with his current method, and they did not pose any threat.

Xu Zhiqiu said: "You are Qiniang?"

Qiniang remained silent, and there was no expression on her pale face, only resentment flashed in her eyes from time to time, but this emotion was also unstable, with resentment for a while, and calm for a while, as if reincarnated alternately.

This is actually a bit weird.

It stands to reason that ghosts usually retain their intelligence. For example, the ghost in the painting in Sun Dabao's house, although it is only a little ghost in the Wandering Soul Realm, can perform illusions and talk to people.

But Qiniang's state is obviously not right.

Xu Zhiqiu thought about it, and the only thing that could be explained was that Qiniang was not an ordinary ghost, but a resentful spirit.

Resentful spirits have no spiritual intelligence, and are controlled by resentment before death, and the soul is caught in a cycle of painful memories, so there will always be resentment in the eyes.

"call--"

The cold wind blew up, and Qiniang's eyes once again showed resentment. She floated towards Xu Zhiqiu, reaching out to grab Xu Zhiqiu's head, and at the same time, the long hair behind her spread out, as if to wrap Xu Zhiqiu inside.

Xu Zhiqiu didn't hesitate, and stabbed with his finger, and a sword qi shot out, hitting Qiniang's eyebrows, and at the same time swung the Taoist long sword in a full circle in front of her.

In an instant, those entangled long hairs were cut off, and when the broken hairs fell into the air, they dissipated like smoke.

Qiniang who was hit by the sword qi screamed, her body became a little transparent, this is because of Xu Zhiqiu's mercy, otherwise Qiniang would have lost her soul on the spot with just one blow.
