The purpose of Xia Liuxi's coming here is very simple. He is here to get the writing pen from the pen writing hall. Because the amount of money written on the fine and tribute record is simply an astronomical amount to her now.
A total of five thousand taels of silver.
Let alone five thousand taels, even five hundred taels would not be enough for her now.
Therefore, she had no choice but to choose the second path mentioned by Tang Yong and retrieve the pen from the Pen Hall.
But the road is still not easy to walk. After all, the pen was dropped outside the Huzhuang River of Yuluo Villa, and there is a crocodile in the river threatening it. It may be difficult to get the pen back without any harm.
She was still frightened by the fact that she was almost bitten off by the giant crocodile.
She just hoped that when she went to get her pen later, the giant crocodile would be in the water instead of on the shore.
After the experience of walking through this underground stone channel that day, Xia Liuxi was obviously familiar with the road. He quickly climbed out of the stone channel behind the construction site and carefully climbed over the bombed-out ruins.
As soon as she landed, she did not act too impatient. Instead, she first observed the direction of Yuluo Villa. After a careful look, she did not find the giant crocodile. She breathed a sigh of relief and then stepped towards it.
Walk over there.
But she still didn't dare to let down her guard, for fear that the crocodile that made the noise would appear again.
But just when she was halfway walking and had gradually seen the position of the pen, a white shadow suddenly appeared in front of her and stopped her. She was frightened and took a few steps back. "Who is it? Why are you stopping me?"
"Do you still need to ask? You can tell just by looking at my clothes. I am a Taoist priest." Bai Ying said with a slight smile in his tone.
"Taoist?" Xia Liuxi raised his head and looked at the white figure carefully. He was really a Taoist.
A young and extremely handsome Taoist priest wearing a white Taoist robe, with an aloof and aloof temperament, and a feather-shaped jade plaque hanging on his waist, was looking at her with a half-smile.
But Xia Liuxi always felt like she had seen this Taoist priest somewhere before, "I seem to have seen you somewhere before. Are you... the Taoist priest who helped the Jidu Chamber of Commerce blow up the mountain yesterday?"
"Exactly, I am that very powerful Taoist priest." The Taoist priest smiled slightly, his white Taoist robe flying in the wind. "My name is Yu."
Xia Liuxi only felt that the wind suddenly stopped for a moment. She had never seen anyone praise her so naturally.
However, she didn't have time to worry about this. Finding her writing pen was the most important thing at the moment, so she just casually said a few words, "Well... hello... you are very powerful..."
After saying that, she was about to go around. Yu stretched out a slender hand with five fingers and stopped her again, "Girl, just walk here! The front is not the place you should go."
"Why?" Xia Liuxi looked at Yu along the slender hand with five fingers.
"Because..." Yu slowly put down his hand, "I am saving the girl! Shouldn't I be grateful?"
"Save me?" Xia Liuxi suddenly realized something, and took a few steps back vigilantly, with a hint of hostility in her eyes, "You are Yan Zhuo's."
"Why does the girl think so? I think the girl has misunderstood. How could a Taoist priest like me be such a Yanzhuo person?" Yu turned his head and glanced at Yuluo Villa behind him with his peripheral vision, "It's just the rain.
People in Luoshan Villa are not allowed to be disturbed by outsiders. Therefore, it is better for the girl to leave here as soon as possible."
"No!" Xia Liuxi shook her head, "I came here because..."
But before she could finish her words, she saw a huge thing running towards her in front of her, with an astonishing speed.
She secretly screamed something bad and hurriedly warned, "Taoist priest, be careful behind you!"
Yu slowly turned around and found that it was the huge crocodile he saw this morning. He smiled helplessly at Xia Liuxi, "The girl told you to leave, but you still didn't listen. Now,
It’s too late to leave!”
"Stop talking sarcastically. If you hadn't stopped me, I would have taken my things and left." Xia Liuxi looked around, looking for the crocodile owner.
The crocodile had already run ten meters away from them. Suddenly, it turned its body and its huge tail suddenly whipped towards them.
"But, fortunately, I'm here." Yu's face was filled with pride, then he tapped his toes, swept forward, waved his white robe, and went straight to meet the crocodile's tail.
.....
Inside Yuluo Villa, on the top of Cangshan Mountain.
A pair of black and white chess pieces.
There were two people sitting in front of the chess table, one was Xiao Chunqiu who was lazy, and the other was Xiao Lingchen who was frowning and thinking.
This time, Xiao Chunqiu seemed to have conceded many moves to him. The two players were evenly matched, and it was hard to tell who was going to lose and who was going to win.
Xiao Chunqiu took a white stone and said, "Old man, we have a guest."
"Then go out and take a look!" Xiao Lingchen dropped a sunspot with difficulty.
Xiao Chunqiu flicked his thumb, and the white piece in his hand was randomly flicked onto the chessboard. "This time, it's your turn, old man, right?"
"The ram fish is not my pet. It doesn't listen to me." Xiao Lingchen thought for a moment.
Xiao Chunqiu's hand that was about to pop out paused, "That's right."
After saying that, he made a move that caused Xiao Lingchen a headache, and then disappeared.
....
Outside Yuluo Villa
At this time, Yu Xiupao had collided with the crocodile's tail. Yu was sent flying more than ten steps away and just fell back to where he was. But the crocodile did not move at all, as if such an attack was completely incapable of it.
For sitting.
Xia Liuxi was stunned for a moment and looked at Yu with surprise, "Taoist priest, do you know martial arts?"
She has not seen many people who know martial arts, because she has lived in Cangyuan City since she was a child, and Cangyuan City is also called a shopping city. Almost all of them are merchants, and they are used to rich clothes and fine food. How can anyone be willing to endure hardships to practice martial arts.
The most impressive thing was that I had only seen Ji Zimo use martial arts, but the Taoist priest in front of me who claimed to be Yu clearly knew how to do martial arts.
"As I said just now, Xiaodao is very powerful." Yu said happily, with the demeanor of a peerless expert, "Girl, you go ahead, Xiaodao can reluctantly block it for you for a while."
Xia Liuxi hesitated for a moment and said: "No, I can't leave yet, I haven't got my things yet!"
"Something?" Yu turned his head slightly.
"Well!" Xia Liuxi nodded and pointed to the writing pen that was clearly visible not far away, "I'm here to get that pen. I left it here in a hurry when I left. That Taoist priest, you actually know martial arts.
, can you do me a favor and hold off the giant crocodile for a little longer? I will leave immediately after taking the pen and never stop."
"Okay!" Yu's tone still contained a slight smile, "Then you have to hurry up, I won't be able to hold on for long."
"Thank you." Xia Liuxi nodded, turned around and ran towards the direction where the pen fell.
But at the same time, the ferocious giant crocodile also moved, but it was not Yu who attacked, but Xia Liuxi, who did not know martial arts.
The giant crocodile seemed to know that the young Taoist priest was not weak and could not kill him for a while, so it chose the weakest of the two to take the lead.
Seeing the attacking giant crocodile, Xia Liuxi's eyes widened and she stepped back, almost falling down.
But at this moment, Yu who readily agreed to help her appeared in front of her again, waving his sleeves to block another attack from the giant crocodile's tail. Yu glanced back at Xia Liuxi and found that she was still in a daze, a little helpless.
Shaking his head, "Girl, don't be in a daze, hurry up and go."
"Oh..." Xia Liuxi quickly came to her senses and ran forward.
