Chapter 4307 4309 [Staying Overnight in a Deserted Village]

"Wait, wait~" Xiang Nan saw this and hurriedly stopped him, "It's not that we don't want to help you, after all, you saved our lives.

How about this, let's go to Pengcheng first, it's a big city, there must be Hengtai Bank. When the time comes, we will exchange the silver and leave you a part, enough for you to live for the rest of your life. Then we will go to Taiyuan and seek refuge with Miss Li, and after we have practiced martial arts well, we will go for revenge."

Xu Ziling nodded in agreement.

"Thank you very much, gentlemen." Qianqian nodded after hearing this.

"You're welcome, my name is Kou Zhong, his name is Xu Ziling, you can just call us by our names." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

"Yes, young lady, we are all from poor families, not young masters, you don't have to call us that." Xu Ziling also waved his hand and smiled, "By the way, I don't know your name, young lady?"

"My name is Wan Wan." Wan Wan replied, "Master Zhong, Master Ling, thank you for helping me. I am willing to be a slave and repay your kindness."

"Don't be polite, we are all orphans, and we have the same fate." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Besides, you just saved us, didn't you?"

"Yes, don't be polite, we are all children of the rivers and lakes." Xu Ziling also nodded.

"Let's go, find a place to rest and eat something, we have to continue walking later." Xiang Nan said.

Wan Wan and Xu Ziling both nodded.

...

The three picked some wild fruits on the way, then stopped to rest for a while, and then continued on their way.

On the way, Xiang Nan caught two rabbits and a badger.

In the evening, they came to a deserted mountain village.

In ancient times, there were many such villages. Plague, war, bandits, drought, flood, locust plague... could easily destroy one, even dozens or hundreds of villages.

They walked around the village and chose a house that was well preserved. It should have been considered a rich house in the village.

Xiang Nan found a kitchen knife and killed the rabbit and badger; Xu Ziling found a wooden barrel to fetch water from the stream; Wan Wan was not idle either, and cleaned up the house.

Half an hour later, a pot of stew came out of the pot.

"Hey, it smells so good~" Wan Wan sniffed and said in surprise.

I didn't expect Xiang Nan, who looked a little rough, to have good cooking skills.

"If it smells good, eat more. You've worked hard today." Xiang Nan smiled.

"Thank you, Master Zhong, for your concern. I'm not tired." Wan Wan waved her hand.

"Let's eat." Xiang Nan nodded.

After finishing the meal, Qian Qian took the initiative to clean up the dishes.

"I wonder how many days it will take to get to Pengcheng?" Xu Ziling said to Xiang Nan, "It's really too hard for Qian Qian to follow us."

"If we take the main road, we can get to Pengcheng in three or four days. But we take the small road, the distance will be doubled, and it will probably take another six or seven days." Xiang Nan analyzed, "There is no way, the situation is forced, just wait until we get to Pengcheng."

Xu Ziling nodded.

"I didn't expect that Ren Shaoming alone could chase us to the point where we have no way to go to heaven or enter the earth." Xiang Nan sighed again, "I don't know how powerful his master Yu Wenhuaji is."

"Zhong Shao, you are not afraid, are you?" Xu Ziling smiled.

"Of course not, I just felt inspired." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I originally thought that if I had mastered the "Eternal Life Secret", I would at least be a first-class master and could go anywhere in the world.

I didn't expect that we couldn't handle a mere Ren Shaoming. It seems that our martial arts are still not good enough. Well, let's stop talking nonsense and practice the Yijian sword technique right away."

Xu Ziling nodded.

The two of them immediately began to practice.

...

The Yijian sword technique emphasizes playing chess with swords and playing chess with enemies with swords, anticipating the enemy's moves and taking the initiative.

The moves are actually not important, what is important is the sword theory and mental method.

Only by understanding the sword theory of "anticipating the enemy's moves and taking the initiative" and the mental method of "being detached from the world and seeing clearly as an onlooker" can this sword technique be brought to its extreme.

Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling are both martial arts geniuses. The first time they heard Fu Jun'er teach the Yijian sword technique, they had already thoroughly comprehended the sword theory and mental method of the sword technique. Now all they lack is practice.

At that moment, the two of them used wooden sticks as swords and began to practice Yijian swordplay.

Xiang Nan was still considered a top swordsman in the world. Even if Fu Cailin was reborn, he might not be able to defeat him.

Although Xu Ziling had just learned swordplay, he was a rare martial arts genius with a high level of comprehension. The book commented that he was "rarely seen once in a thousand years".

Therefore, when the two of them practiced swordplay, although Xiang Nan had the upper hand, Xu Ziling was not completely powerless to fight back.

The two of them attacked and defended, one took the lead in every move, and the other used defense as attack. The fight was very lively, with frequent and thrilling moves, which surprised Qianqian.

I didn't expect that the two of them were so good at swordplay. In terms of swordplay alone, the two of them could already be compared with top swordsmen.

But then again, internal strength is the root of everything.

Without the blessing of strong internal strength, it is difficult to hurt people no matter how high the swordplay is, and it is even difficult to get close.

…

Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling practiced swordplay until late at night.

"Master Zhong, Master Ling, I've boiled some hot water, you guys wash up. Take off your clothes, I'll help you wash up." Xianxian said.

"Don't bother, Master Ling and I can just go to the stream and take a bath." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Miss Xianxian has worked hard all day, go to bed early."

As he said that, he and Xu Ziling left the house, went to the stream, took off their clothes, and took a bath.

For them, the stream water was a little cold, but tolerable.

After all, they all had internal energy to protect themselves, which was much stronger than ordinary people.

After taking a shower, they also rinsed off the clothes full of sweat and odor.

Then the two of them used their internal energy to dry their clothes quickly, and then returned to the residence.

"Master Zhong, Master Ling, I will serve you to rest." Wan Wan came forward and said.

"Oh, no, I'm not used to being served." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "You should serve Master Ling."

"I'm not used to being served either." Xu Ziling also waved his hand, jumped up, and rushed back to his room first.

"Master Zhong~" Wan Wan's beautiful eyes moved, looking at Xiang Nan.

At this moment, suddenly heard two strange screams.

"Oh, what's the sound~" Wan Wan hid in Xiang Nan's arms, looking frightened.

Xiang Nan was filled with warmth and fragrance, and could vaguely feel the delicate and smooth skin of Qianqian, which made him feel moved for a moment.

"Don't be afraid, it's just the sound of birds. Judging from the sound, it should be a night owl." He then took a step back, waved his hand and smiled, thinking that the demon girl of the demon sect was indeed charming and seductive.

"I am most afraid of night owls." Qianqian said hurriedly, "Master Zhong, why don't I sing a song, then I won't be so afraid."

"If you want to sing, just sing." Xiang Nan nodded.

Qianqian immediately sang, her voice was gentle and charming, but Xiang Nan knew that it was actually the sound of the devil, which could create illusions and confuse people's minds, similar to the soul-stealing magic, the mind-enchanting technique, and hypnosis.
