On the second day, after preparing food and clothing and packing the long sword, the man and the sword set out on the journey again. They killed gods and monsters along the way, which was considered to be chic.

I forgot that in addition to the man and the sword, there was also a woman following behind him. The woman had a fluttering dress and a hat on her head. There was a light veil hanging down to cover her face. She wore a long sword on her waist, named Hongxiu. It was just an ordinary sword, but it was worn on her side, and it really had the charm of a female hero.

Wang Ruyi, who called herself a female hero, followed Li Changxiao. On the way, the sword was never unsheathed, but the name of "female hero" was spread first. It can be regarded as a good reputation for punishing evil and promoting good. When she met bandits on the road, she attacked them and killed all the bandits, and then wrote the word "Red Sleeve" on the ground with blood.

After a while, the reputation spread to who knows where. Of course, the Red Sleeve Heroine did not know martial arts, and she was not a monk. She was good at governing the country and the people, and she could order the arrest of the murderer. Even if she was at the execution ground and saw the bloody scene of people's heads rolling down, she did not frown. But if she really took action to kill a chicken or a duck, she would feel that she had no idea where to start. Therefore, the reputation of the Red Sleeve Heroine was mostly based on the white-clothed guest beside her.

For the sake of reputation, Wang Ruyi begged someone a lot. After a hard time getting out, he couldn't go back for the time being. The road ahead was shrouded in thick fog and confusion. If he asked the man in white to point out a clear path, he couldn't tell. He always muttered "Just go, just go" perfunctorily, and then often added "As you walk, the road will become clear." This made Wang Ruyi completely give up. He knew that this powerful man in white was also a confused ghost. Sometimes when he was drunk, he could even take the wrong road. He also loved to be stubborn, saying that he was aimless, so how could he take the wrong road?

Dayu was in chaos. In fact, Wang Ruyi's guess was correct. Li Changxiao couldn't tell the way ahead. If he was alone, he could come and go freely, but Wang Ruyi was by his side, and the people of Dayu were by his side.

If he was asked to go to Dayu and duel with Ji Beiming, he really didn't want to, because he couldn't beat him, and the water in Dayu was deep. If he closed his eyes and plunged into it, he would drown.

He couldn't leave, and he was blocked at every step. He couldn't see clearly and didn't understand.

Wang Ruyi was even more so. He simply took this opportunity to indulge in his addiction to the martial arts world, become a hero admired by thousands of people, and dream of traveling the world.

Li Changxiao naturally agreed, so the name of the Red Sleeves Female Hero seemed to have grown two legs and ran very fast. And on that way, killing bandits, punishing evil and promoting good were just by the way.

Although confused, she was not idle. On the road to fame of the Red Sleeves Female Hero, Li Changxiao paid attention to the incense gods, secretly killed several gods, and gradually discovered the figure of the Extreme Evil Sect.

Li Changxiao was familiar with this force. Endless Forest, Green Domain, almost all of them have their figures, and now is no exception.

Li Changxiao has the ability to perceive dreams. The evil intentions of the people of the Extreme Evil Sect are pure and eye-catching. Even if they are far away, they cannot escape his eyes. However, Li Changxiao gradually found that this method was not very useful.

The disciples of the Extreme Evil Sect who are full of pure malice are all the lowest existences, and are an ugly "weapon" that exudes a foul smell. The person holding the weapon must have a higher cultivation level than Li Changxiao. It is still difficult to conclude whether such a person also has pure malice.

Therefore, over-reliance on the power of perceiving dreams is prone to passiveness.

After discovering the Extreme Evil Sect, following its clues, it was gradually discovered that some incense gods in Dayu were involved with it. They may be disciples of the Extreme Evil Sect, or have unclear transactions with them. One of the incense gods involved along the route of the big rock sculpture was a disciple of the Extreme Evil Sect. When Li Changxiao tracked him down, he performed the art of extracting dreams and obtained useful clues.

The mermaids had looked for the disciple of the Extreme Evil Sect, and seemed to have known that he was a member of the Extreme Evil Sect and reached some kind of transaction with him.

After finding out about this, Li Changxiao made a bold guess. Although the mermaids are strong, their control over the land is far inferior to that of humans. The news about the tomb of the God of Dreams was probably released by the Extreme Evil Sect.

If this is the guess, then the God of the West, the God of the Jihua River... and many other gods of mountains and rivers are all people of the Extreme Evil Sect? ... Li Changxiao suppressed this thought and did not want to make a conclusion so early.

Let's talk about the other side.

The God of the West went down the river and went straight to Qingrao City. He visited the temple of the God of Water and successfully asked for the wine gourd.

Observing from front and back, they were all ordinary things without any fairy charm. He frowned slightly. When he came, he guessed in his heart that the gourd should not be an ordinary thing, but the eyes of the God of Water were covered with dust, unable to see through the falsehood, and were deceived by the illusion.

Now he took it in his hand and looked around, and found that it was indeed an ordinary thing without any special features. He pinched the bottle cap with two fingers, gently broke it, and the gourd opened, and a smell of wine came to his nose.

The smell of alcohol was very strange, a mixture of various ordinary alcohols. The God of the West closed the lid and began to think about the person who threw the gourd. He must be a wine lover, so he should always have something to drink on his waist.

And most of them drink ordinary alcohol. Most of them travel around the world all year round, shuttle through the streets of the market. They have cultivation, but they are keen on walking in the world...

Just thinking, the God of the West suddenly paused and looked at a certain place in the city. He looked surprised. Someone was looking for him. He entered the city and turned into an abandoned temple.

Although the temple was abandoned, there were four intact statues of gods, namely the God of East, West, South, North and West. The temple of the four gods should have been prosperous and full of incense, but it ended up being abandoned.

It was intentional by the four gods. As a place for communication, it was generally set up in prosperous cities, but it was rarely used for ten years or half a year.

After entering the ruined temple, I met a man in black robe. He stood in the temple and had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the arrival of the God of the West, the man in black robe took off his hood, revealing a woman's face. She had a very beautiful face, crystal-clear and smooth skin, subcutaneous scales faintly visible, and natural blue eyes. With such obvious features, it goes without saying who the person is. It is the mermaid, Ji Xue.

It was a coincidence that the two met here. Ji Beiming sent Ji Xue to stop Li Changxiao from killing him. Ji Xue left Dayu City and rushed to Qingrao City.

She planned to call Ji Lu, Ji Huo, and Ji Nan to act together, but when she arrived in Qingrao City, she felt something was wrong and vaguely felt that something might happen. So she wanted to go to a nearby temple to ask a few questions.

She knew that there was an abandoned temple in Qingrao City, where the four gods were worshipped at the same time, and the four gods often "cast their eyes" here. Ji Xue originally wanted to call the East God, because Qingrao City was under the jurisdiction of the East God, and the East God was the closest to the temple, so he could meet him in four to five days. However, as soon as he entered the temple, before he had waited for a quarter of an hour, the West God came first.

After a brief surprise, the two quickly figured out the reason in the conversation, and Ji Xue's pupils trembled: "It's him!"

The two talked again.

Gradually, the vague image was perfected bit by bit. Li Changxiao's figure appeared clearly in the vision of both parties. Ji Xue also learned from the West God that the stripped empress should have reached the territory of the West God according to the time calculation, and it was inferred that... the white-clothed man was probably nearby.

The two calculated carefully. Whether it was the Yu Jiao people or the Yu Xi God, this person must not be left alive, otherwise there would be endless troubles.

The only way was to attack with all their strength at the same time and strangle him with thunder. Ji Xue nodded in agreement. With Ji Beiming's order, she would kill the man in white without hesitation when facing him.

Never stop until death.

In front of the family's righteousness, personal losses are nothing. And Xi Shenjun has similar ideas. When necessary, he will not hold back.

In this way, a fierce killing momentum is slowly brewing and fermenting against the two people who are still wandering in the mountains and rivers.

...

How could Li Changxiao know this? He had just cleared a mountain bandit's den and carved the words "Red Sleeves" on the mountain wall. Then Wang Ruyi was in high spirits, stepping on someone's corpse and making a gesture of collecting the sword.

The figure with long hair fluttering, one hand lightly pressing the bamboo hat, and the other hand drawing the sword really showed the style of a female hero. Her face flushed, as if all the bandits were killed by her alone. She flicked her sleeves and left gracefully.

But halfway, she met a mountain bandit who was not yet dead. He suddenly attacked with a knife, which scared her half to death. Li Changxiao kicked a flying stone with his toes, killing the bandit. He couldn't help laughing, mocking the woman's embarrassment. The latter was angry, but helpless.

Li Changxiao looked up, the sky was dark and dark, and dark clouds gathered, covering the moon.

This kind of weather seems to have lasted for several days.
