The Path of a Swordsman

Mysterious Events

Mysterious Events

Aug 21, 2024

Li Ji has a clear understanding of his own strength. Lao Guo is considered a third rate ordinary level in this world. At the beginning of his time traveling, Li Ji was not as good as him, but after becoming familiar with the operation of internal power, he was able to easily defeat Lao Guo. At this stage, Li Ji can barely be considered a third rate peak, having obtained the Six Harmonies Sword Manual. He believes that he will have a qualitative leap into a second rate level, and that will be when he travels the world with his sword.

There is no time in the mountains, and another two months have passed. One afternoon, Li Ji was pondering swordsmanship alone in the courtyard when suddenly someone knocked on the courtyard door, and Huang Er's loud voice rang out, "Brother You, Lord Xu has invited me to go to the town hall as soon as possible because of an urgent matter

What's the point? Do you know? "Li Ji was a little impatient. He had just returned from a business trip in Shuangcheng a few days ago, and according to tradition, he could take a few days off. He had just gained some new insights into the Liuhe Sword, but was interrupted by this guy.

I don't know, but from what Xiao Mazi said, it seems like the Dao Ye from Shuangcheng has arrived... "Xiao Mazi is the nickname of the official Xiao Ziming. He is stingy and is commonly referred to as such by his colleagues in private.

Someone knows, you go ahead. "Li Ji returned to the bedroom, freshened up for a while, changed clothes and pondered, there was a story behind inviting Dao Ye from Shuangcheng. Just over ten days ago, a strange incident occurred in Cixi, which has always been stable and peaceful. The richest man, Wang Dahua, inexplicably discovered a monster in a manor outside the town. It was probably Wang Dahua's family who stayed at the manor outside the town to admire the greenery. That night, something happened. A concubine who was greatly favored by Wang Dahua died at the mouth of the monster. In addition, one maid and two guards also died tragically. Those who escaped said that there were monsters appearing in the backyard of the manor to eat people.

Since there was a loss of life and he was also a member of the Wang family, it was inevitable that the town did not take it seriously. After discussing the matter, several people in the town judged that it was either caused by an enemy, a wandering bandit, or a so-called monster that they had never heard of before. Due to Li Ji's failure to return from his official business trip to Shuangcheng in the upper reaches of the town, Qiangfu Xujihai gathered around ten brave hooligans to investigate. Unexpectedly, they left in high spirits and returned in embarrassment. Out of the ten or so young men who were somewhat violent, three died and two were seriously injured. Fortunately, Qiangfu Xujihai was far away at the time and only managed to save his life. In this way, the situation has basically been clarified. It is widely rumored that in the ancient well in the backyard of the estate, there is a snake like monster with a water bucket that is thick and thin, and I don't know how long it is. It is ferocious and cruel, with a green beard on the face and steel teeth on the mouth. Anyway, the more it is spread, the more terrifying it becomes.

Three days later, Li Ji returned from Shuangcheng and saw that the people in the town were in chaos, and rumors were circulating about it. But he is a non believer, deeply rooted in the materialistic education of nearly forty years in his past life. How could he believe such a vague and ethereal story of gods and monsters? It seems that someone just used a deceptive tactic to scare people and cover up the truth.

Believe it or not, Li Ji didn't have a mind to rush to find out the truth. This is his principle of being a person. He eats as much food as he has a big appetite, and does as much big things as he has the ability. Unless there is no other way, he will never do anything beyond his own strength that is unpredictable.

This is the fundamental reason why Li Ji was able to survive in this unfamiliar world. It is a real world, and he cannot be as brainless and curious as he is in online literature. There are not enough lives to fill. Just like dealing with people and events in Cixi Town, he is not without enemies, and there are also many opponents who have malicious intentions and hidden tricks. However, he is still patient enough, one is to accumulate his own strength, and the other is to wait for an opportunity to take a decisive blow and fly away.

So after arranging manpower to block the road to the estate, Li Ji also leisurely practiced swordsmanship at home. The only thing that surprised him was that whether it was Qiangfu Xujihai, who always stood on the moral high ground, or the official Xiao Ziming, who wished for his misfortune, or the arrogant Wang Dahua, they had no objection to his indifferent attitude. As usual, as a guardian of the town and a peaceful citizen, You Hao had long been ordered to be beaten to death. Perhaps... Do they think this matter is far beyond my ability?

Is it because of that so-called Taoist? Li Ji pondered in his heart... It seems that everyone in Cixi Town is full of confidence in Dao Ye. They wait with peace of mind, preparing various reception events as if preparing for a grand festival‘ It seems that compared to the indigenous people of this world, I still lack a certain cultural and historical understanding

Unable to figure it out in his heart, Li Ji hurriedly returned to the town office, only to be told that Qiangfu and others had rushed to the mansion in Wanghu Town, so he went to the Wanghu Mansion in the west of the town. This old Taoist also seems to enjoy it. In Cixi, Wang Dahua's mansion is undoubtedly the widest and most luxurious place. Li Ji is also coming in for the first time. He has something on his mind, but he doesn't have the heart to appreciate those carved beams and painted columns. Under the guidance of his servants, he headed straight to the small living room.

Seven or eight people stood respectfully in the hall, including Xu Jihai, Xiao Ziming, Wang Dahua, and several village elders. Only a thin and withered old man with white hair sat on the Grand Tutor's chair, his eyes slightly closed, and he was wandering cross legged.

Sorry everyone, I just found out that the master is in person. Did he delay the important matter

A few people looked at each other, with both goodwill and disdain in their eyes. Xiao Ziming was gloomy and said, "You have such a big face, but you make the master wait. Are you playing with knives and sticks at home“

Li Ji ignored him, and the Taoist remained motionless, not keeping his eyes open. Seeing this, Xu Jihai hurriedly said, "We have just arrived recently, and the master has already made a decision on this matter. Why don't I tell you a little bit? “

”I have a laborer now... Li Ji saw everyone standing and didn't feel comfortable sitting.

”Upon hearing about the matter in Cixi, Master Chongfa immediately rushed from Shuangcheng, covering over 200 miles and arriving overnight. He truly sympathized with heaven and humanity, and was a person of high moral character... Before the master entered the town, he had already gone to the haunted house to observe the atmosphere and only returned with gains. The master said that this kind of demonic energy is at the moment when his fetus is undergoing changes, and it is urgent. Therefore, he scheduled to go to the haunted house tomorrow noon to open the altar and make preparations. The master is equipped with a magical tool, which is a mysterious and mysterious object. However, we mortals have no way to raise it. The master has his own preparations, but there is one thing that needs to be done. To prevent demons from escaping, four people with abundant blood and courage are required, each holding a Taoist object to set their sights... After careful consideration, these four people still need to take on the role of commander-in-chief before it is appropriate... After speaking, his gaze seemed to inadvertently tilt towards Xiao Ziming beside him. Li Ji still didn't understand, it must be this old man Xiao Ziming who took advantage of his own absence to make him feel nauseous. Before he could answer, he suddenly spoke up from the chair. “

Li Ji was blocked back without saying a word, it seems that this mission cannot be avoided. Until now, he still has half faith and doubts about that so-called monster. Looking at this Taoist, he looks more like a swindler, so he is not too worried. Anyway, there is a Taoist at the forefront, and there are three other people who set up the formation. Even if there are really powerful monsters, with his skills, he is definitely stronger than those few escaped hooligans, so he doesn't even have a chance to escape, right. As a wanderer, I am taken care of by the people of Cixi. Now that I am facing difficulties, I must take responsibility, so I do not refuse. "The master has a mission, and I dare not obey, but there are still three people, which one is it? “

Xu Ji Hai Dao, the brave and brave generation in the town, cannot argue openly unless you are young. Why not recommend one or two to Sanlang? “
