Chapter 197: The Mortal Sword Immortal, Fate
The helpers invited by Yan Shiliu, including Li Changxiao, totaled exactly six people. Five of them had already arrived. Yan Shiliu asked everyone to stay in the inn for a few days first and communicate with each other. They would set out together after the last person arrived.
Besides the weirdness in Yanjia Village, there are also many difficulties on the way to Yanjia Village. Yan Shiliu has made preparations in advance. He naturally doesn't have to worry about the swordsman whose lightness skill is comparable to his own. He is just afraid that the other masters will give up halfway.
This wait lasted for several days.
The Taoist priest was a thin old man, wearing a yellow Taoist robe and carrying a lot of things on his back. He lived there for a few days, abstained from meat and ate vegetarian food, and rarely talked to people.
The swordsman was a dark-skinned man, wearing clothes in a Western style, with his hair wrapped in white cloth. The most eye-catching thing about him was the broken sword tied to his left and right waist.
The knife was tied tightly, as if it was not used to fight the enemy. Li Changxiao felt strange when he first saw it, but since this was the other person's signature skill, he did not ask too much.
As for the magic refiner, Li Changxiao had met her before, so he didn't pay too much attention to her. He just took a quick glance and recognized her face, which was enough. In comparison, he was very curious about the poison master and looked at her a few more times. The poison master was a slim woman, and she looked very sweet.
But as for the inside... Li Changxiao won’t comment too much.
During these few days, the five people had some exchanges, and Li Changxiao discovered that they all knew each other and were all from famous sects in the Chitian Dynasty.
About another day passed.
The last person finally arrived. Everyone had been staying here for a few days and were already feeling a little resentful. They wanted to wait for that person to arrive and make some sarcastic remarks, but when that person showed up, they swallowed the sarcastic words that were about to come out of their mouths.
The person who came was a woman in a white dress. She had a beautiful face and a proud expression, and she also had a sword on her waist.
This girl's name is "Cai Wei". She is a famous "Sword Fairy" in the Chi Tian Dynasty. She wielded a sword at the age of five and killed top martial arts masters. At the age of seven, she entered the Jianmen, where she practiced sword skills and cultivated her mind. At the age of ten, she went out into the martial arts world again to punish the evildoers. Now, she has just turned twenty and has never been defeated.
Although this woman is kind-hearted by nature, she is arrogant and unpleasant, and is not someone who is easy to mess with, so no one dares to say much. Of course, this woman has amazing martial arts skills, but when it comes to dealing with strange and weird things, she may be far inferior to the Taoist priests, swordsmen and others. But with this person accompanying them, they will be much safer along the way.
The people are all here. Although Yan Shiliu is still young, he knows how to behave in the underworld and how to deal with people in a personal way. Although people come for money, they cannot be driven away by money. They need to be moved by emotion and enlightened by courtesy, and have a legitimate reason. Perhaps young people will find this cumbersome and hypocritical, but this is precisely where human nature lies. There is a great deal of knowledge in this.
So Yan Shiliu spent several taels of silver to rent a building in the town, set up a banquet, and took six people to eat. The old Taoist priest did not eat meat, the witch only ate meat, the swordsman liked to eat offal, the magician only ate liquid food, and the sword fairy Cai Wei only ate famous dishes. He remembered them all and ordered the restaurant to decorate them. As for the mysterious swordsman in white, he was the most easy-going by nature and could eat anything. If there was some wine, he would be even happier.
As they were eating, Yan Shiliu began to cry and complain, first about how the Yan family had been harassed by strange things and how the people were living in misery. If you were willing to accept this order to eliminate demons, it would be a great honor for the world...
In this way, everyone will not come for profit, but to set an example and eliminate demons as the way. The so-called money is just a by-product. After a heart-to-heart talk, the swordsman said frankly that there is no need to worry about this matter. He is an upright person and will definitely not allow the evil to harm the world.
During their conversation, Li Changxiao ate and drank his fill, then lay down on the table and fell into a deep sleep.
......
......
However, after the banquet, everyone, including Yan Shiliu, rested for a few days to regain their spirits, prepare what needed to be prepared, rest what needed to be rested, and when everything was ready, they set out on the journey.
Yanjia Village is located in a remote area and requires a long journey. If Yan Shiliu is alone, he can reach the village in a week due to his excellent martial arts skills. But if he brings others along, it will take two or even three weeks.
The female sword fairy of the Chi Tian Dynasty was close to the only female Gu girl in the team. Perhaps because they were both women, she was quite caring towards the Gu girl.
As they traveled along the way, the six people often had frictions. The Gu Girl had a sweet appearance, but she was a character who was eager to create chaos in the world. It was not easy to see at the beginning, but as they walked in the deep mountains and old forests, she chatted with the Taoist priest and secretly tried to sow discord between the two of them, saying that the swordsman's uncle had died at the hands of a Taoist priest, so why didn't the two of them compete with each other.
As the two of them continued like this, and the more they walked together, the farther they were from human society, friction often occurred, and at that time, the Gu woman would cast a curious look, but she was too sweet in appearance and too skilled in her methods, and although she was the source of cholera, people who could not see through her flesh would not know that she was the culprit.
Besides, the magic refiner could not escape her harassment. The witch had a natural aversion to the magic refiner, so she secretly poisoned him with a Gu, causing the magic refiner to vomit and have diarrhea. He was confused and complained continuously. It was only during the conversation with the white-clothed swordsman that he realized that he had been poisoned by a Gu for no reason.
Although it was not a deadly poisonous insect, it made him feel uncomfortable for a while, and he was naturally furious. He also had real stuff, so he took out a bottle of potion, drank it, and successfully expelled the poison from his body. He held the poison in his hand and angrily confronted the poison girl.
Unexpectedly, Cai Wei made a move. Her swordsmanship was indeed powerful. In almost an instant, the famous sword with an extraordinary origin was placed on the neck of the magic refiner. If it had moved forward half an inch, blood would have been spilled here. The magic refiner was furious and asked Cai Wei why she protected the Gu girl. Cai Wei had a cold expression and only replied, "What's the point of protecting her?"
The demon refiner could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger. Yan Shiliu was extremely helpless. He was good at martial arts and escape was not a problem, but he was really powerless to deal with this kind of thing, and almost no one listened to him.
It is normal for people in the martial arts world to have different personalities. Yan Shiliu has long known that not everyone can get along as well as the swordsman in white. Whenever he feels tired, he will find the swordsman in white, sit with him, use his light skills, climb up a big tree, and sit down to drink.
Yan Shiliu often asked Li Changxiao, he has a peaceful personality, but seems to be a little unsociable? He rarely communicates with those people. Logically speaking, as a swordsman, it is actually a good choice to get along well with Cai Wei or show off his skills. If he can get her recommendation and successfully enter the Sword Gate of the Chitian Dynasty, it will be a great thing.
Li Changxiao was lazily lying on a tree branch, drinking wine with a leisurely look in his eyes. He told Yan Shiliu that it was not that he was unsociable, but that he made friends casually. Some people just passed by each other and might not be destined to be together, but some people were thousands of miles apart but had a deep destiny with him.
