Jianlin Villa has been standing in the world for more than a hundred years. The founders of the Villa are Shi Yonglin and Shi Wanchun, father and son. Both father and son are both internal and external masters. They are excellent in swordsmanship and have extraordinary internal strength. All of their disciples are elites and can help people in need.

Due to the difficulties, its reputation spread far and wide, so Jianlin Villa has been proudly ranked among the top three of the ten sects for nearly a hundred years, and has only declined in recent years.

The Jianlin Villa covers an area of ​​more than fifty acres, backed by Qianqiu Mountain and facing Yuling Lake. Outside the village is a wall more than one foot high. There are hundreds of houses of various sizes in the Villa, which is a fortress-like building with a masonry structure.

Jianlin Villa once collected thousands of famous swords, all of which were hung in the Sword Qi Hall in the village, hence the name Jianlin. However, in the past thirty years, the owners of Jianlin Villa were all mediocre in talent, leading to the gradual decline of Jianlin Villa.

After that, although Jianlin Villa has been removed from the ten sects, the current owner Shi Tianhao's reputation for being eager for public justice and righteousness still resounds throughout the world.

So when Shi Fu, the old housekeeper of Jianlin Villa, told Tang Jiusheng and others that they would not take anyone in for a stay, everyone was surprised. Jianlin Villa has been famous for hundreds of years, and its reputation for helping those in need is not in vain. How did it get to this day?

Do you have to make excuses to avoid even a small matter like staying overnight?

When something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Tang Jiusheng guessed that there is a good chance that some demon is coming to clean up the village. However, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse. Who is crazy and wants to come to Jianlin Villa to cause trouble? How big of a demon must he be?

?It’s definitely not Zhu Tianba and Yue Lingbi. Could it be Du Jinluo or Gongliang Daye, the other two of the four demons?

Just as Tang Jiu Sheng was about to ask a question, someone in Zhuangzi asked loudly: "Shi Fu, who are you talking to?" The voice was full of anger, and it sounded like a person who practiced internal martial arts. He saw a man in his twenties, wearing a uniform.

A young man of medium height wearing a red brocade robe walked out of the village.

The kind-hearted old butler Shi Fu bowed to the man and said: "Young master, we are a few passing guests who want to stay overnight. I told them that a demon will come to kill the village tonight, but they don't believe it. What do you think we should do?"

?” Tang Jiu Sheng and others heard Shi Fu call this man the young village owner, so he must be Shi Tianhao’s son Shi Pingyang?

I saw this man walking over quickly, with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands with Tang Jiusheng and others and said, "Everyone, I'm really sorry! This is Shi Pingyang of Jianlin Villa. In normal times, let alone your friends, just two more

Ten and thirty, we also welcome them, but there are two demons who are coming to bloodbath Zhuangzi, so we have dismissed many of our disciples and servants, just for fear of hurting innocent people..."

Tang Jiusheng also smiled and returned the favor, "Master Shi, I'm sorry to ask, but I don't know which demon wants to bloodbath Jianlin Villa tonight? Is it Du Jinluo or Gongliang Daye?"

Shi Pingyang was startled when he heard this, shook his head and said: "It's neither Du Jinluo nor Gongliang Daye." He thought to himself that this person's tone was really serious, he opened his mouth and mentioned the four devils.

When Tang Jiusheng heard that it was not the two of them, he relaxed, laughed, and joked: "That's okay. My surname is Sheng, and I am ranked ninth. Because I can't drink enough, I always like to leave half a bowl, so people in the world give me the nickname "Left Wine Master"

.I have never been afraid of death, so I dared to borrow a few houses from you to live in. Maybe the devil came and took a look. Mr. Shengjiu also drank with him at the same table, and we started to establish friendship. If we can't keep it together, it would be fine

Got it!"

Shi Pingyang was so upset that he couldn't laugh or cry, "Master Sheng, although the two demons who are coming are not Du Jinluo and Gongliang Daye, they should not be underestimated. You really don't want to go into trouble! If you don't have enough money to live,

Store, I will ask Shi Fu to send you fifty taels of silver right away. You can live in the market town ahead and avoid death!"

The fat man laughed loudly at the side, "I say Mr. Shi, you are quite generous, you just opened your mouth to give fifty taels of silver, but we are tired of walking, if we turn back a few steps and encounter the eyes of those two demons,

If they think we are escaping from your village, and then they come to kill us, haven't you done us harm?"

Shi Pingyang was stunned for a moment. Then he thought about it and it seemed that what the fat man said made sense. He sighed and said: "In that case, please come with me! But if something really happens, please hide in the house and don't say anything. Then

The two demons are here for our Shi family. If they really find you, I will explain to them that you are just staying overnight and have nothing to do with Jianlin Villa."

As he spoke, Shi Pingyang led everyone and their horses into the fortress-like villa through the side door, and walked towards the main house along the road paved with bluestone slabs. Tang Jiu Sheng glanced around and saw that the villa was divided into two floors.

The houses were neatly arranged in rows and rows, just like a small town. People were leading their horses forward, and servants came over to take the horses of Tang Jiusheng and others to the stables.

Shi Pingyang looked at Tang Jiusheng's black one-horned horse and thought to himself, this man named Sheng is probably not an ordinary person. Even a second-class prince would not have such a thing. This is a tribute from an overseas vassal, a rare thing.

. Anyone who dares to ride a unicorn on the rivers and lakes must have special skills or have powerful bodyguards.

Shi Pingyang couldn't help but look at Tang Jiusheng a few more times. Tang Jiusheng noticed Shi Pingyang's unusual gaze and laughed, "Master Shi, if it is convenient, can I pay a visit to the old village owner?"

Shi Pingyang shook his head and said: "My father is suffering from a hidden illness and has not seen guests for four or five years. The affairs in the village are now handled by me and my wife. The two devils said they would be there at midnight tonight, so please come to the hall first.

After dinner, I will have someone tidy up a yard for you to stay in. You just have to rest. No matter what happens at night, it has nothing to do with you."

The fat man wondered: "Fat Master, I have always heard that you have friends all over the world in Jianlin Villa. Why, now that Jianlin Villa is in trouble, don't you have any friends from the martial arts community coming to help?"

Shi Pingyang sighed and said: "In such a disaster, even if you call your friends, you will die in vain, so I didn't write to friends asking for help. However, because some servants were dismissed, several close friends nearby got the news.

, I have come to the villa out of loyalty, and I won’t leave no matter how much I try to persuade him. However, this demon is too powerful, and I’m afraid everyone is in danger this time.”

As he spoke, he had arrived at the main residence area of ​​Jianlin Villa. Shi Pingyang led everyone through the corridor and then through the deep archway. At the end of the archway, he climbed up the stairs. First, there was a viewing platform. He turned around and looked out.

Go forward and you will have a panoramic view of the entire Yuling Lake. It will suddenly become clear to you. Going forward, you will see five courtyards running side by side from east to west. Shi Pingyang led everyone into the first courtyard.

There are two sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted in the courtyard.

The main house is a two-story building with a wooden structure and wing rooms on both sides. Shi Pingyang let everyone into the living room of the main house. It turned out that four people were already drinking tea in the living room. Shi Pingyang introduced them to several people and said that Mr. Sheng and Mr.

His friends were staying the night, so they all stood up, greeted each other, briefly introduced their names, and then just said they looked at each other for a long time and said it was a pleasure to meet them.

Those four people glanced at Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang a few times, and secretly thought in their hearts, seeing how extraordinary this Master Sheng was, and his two precious relatives were so beautiful, they must be descendants of a well-traveled family, so these words

He didn't dare to be disrespectful. After Tang Jiu Sheng and everyone sat down, Shi Pingyang asked the kitchen to prepare wine and food, while he poured tea and water himself and entertained them attentively.

While everyone was chatting, the food was served, and everyone sat down to eat. There was a lot of food on the table, including fish, shrimp, beef, mutton, vegetables, fungus, tofu, etc. Shi Pingyang accompanied him personally. During the dinner, he thought that he might not survive tonight.

, sighing. The fat man said displeasedly: "Shi, are you afraid that we won't give you money after we finish our meal?"

Shi Pingyang hurriedly apologized and said: "Mr. Jiang, I'm really sorry, because I thought that the devil is going to attack tonight, and it will be more dangerous than good, so I sighed. I definitely didn't mean to neglect all the guests!"

Shi Pingyang trailed off and heard a woman behind the screen sarcastically say: "Shi Pingyang, you are a seven-foot man, look at how scared you are! You really have no hope at all! Aren't those two devils coming?

I'm not afraid of women, so what are you afraid of?"

Everyone followed the sound and saw a beautiful woman coming out from behind the screen. She was in her twenties, wearing a sky blue skirt, with bright eyes and white teeth. A pair of large gold earrings hung from her ears. Her brows were slightly raised, not angry.

Wei, followed by a maid holding a sword.

Shi Pingyang stood up and said sarcastically: "Madam, why are you here?" It turns out that although Shi Pingyang is the young owner of the villa, he has the same problem of henpecking. His wife is not only better at martial arts than him, but she is also quite capable in running the family.

It turned out that the beautiful woman was Shi Pingyang's wife Deng Yuzhen. Deng Yuzhen glanced at the people eating at the table and then said: "I heard in the back house that there are a few overnight guests. I am worried about the enemy tonight, so I am worried."

Came out specially to take a look.”

Everyone stood up and said hello to Deng Yuzhen. Deng Yuzhen saw that Tang Jiu Sheng was very handsome. The water was like the moon. Ximen Yushuang was very beautiful. Song Yulan who was sitting opposite was also very charming. Fatty, Yu Long Xingkong and others also had different appearances. They were definitely not the same.

Ordinary people felt relieved. They were originally worried that this group of people were the accomplices of the two demons, but now it seems that they are overly worried.

Deng Yuzhen put on a smile and said: "For my friends who are staying overnight, there may be something going on in the villa tonight. I am not very good at hospitality, so I came here to have a look, lest I offend you all!"

Tang Jiusheng stood up and said with a smile: "Mrs. Shi, you don't have to be polite. We and others were eager to travel and missed the town store, so we came to stay overnight. I didn't know that there was something going on in your house tonight, but if there is anything we can use,

I would be happy to help you!"
