1012, Ning Caichen is my brother-in-law (13)
Yi Rong is already familiar with Tong Xinlan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In ancient times, there were very few women who went out alone, and it stands to reason that Tong Xinlan should be dressed as a man, which is why Tong Xinlan bought disguised medicinal materials before.
However, suddenly, Tong Xinlan remembered that she might have to stay in Lanruo Temple for a few days, those ghosts each had unusual abilities, and even Nie Xiaoqian could see Ning Caichen's children and grandchildren, so what were the skills of the grandmother and other ghosts in Lanruo Temple?
If those ghosts could see through what she told Ning Caichen or Yan Chixia, it would be suspicious.
So Tong Xinlan simply took out the upgraded transformation pill that she was reluctant to use easily with 10,000 points this time, and simply turned herself into a handsome scholar with extraordinary temperament.
There are a lot of roads to the provincial capital, and Ning Caichen takes what route to go to the provincial capital, Ding Xianglan is not clear, and Tong Xinlan naturally does not know.
It was learned from Liao Zhai's book that after Ning Caichen dug up Nie Xiaoqian's bones, he transported Nie Xiaoqian's bones home by boat by water, but his method of going out was not described.
The family is not rich, and Ning Caichen is also a thrifty person, otherwise he would not have lived in Lanruo Temple in order to save money for accommodation.
Moreover, the time of the annual examination is still relatively early, Ning Caichen may go out on his own, and he may be able to take a ride on someone else's ox cart and carriage halfway.
Now, if you intercept him halfway, you may be in the air.
Therefore, Tong Xinlan simply rode directly on the horse and went directly towards Jinhua Ce Ma, the temple where Nie Xiaoqian was located was not far from the suburbs of the provincial capital, otherwise Ning Caichen would not use it as a place to review before the exam.
After days of hurrying and asking passers-by, Tong Xinlan finally arrived at Lanruo Temple eight days later.
It is said that it is Lanruo Temple, but that is just an unrefined statement for movies and TV series.
Ranrus is the provincial name of the Sanskrit word Alanruo, which means temple.
Otherwise, anyone who has read Liaozhai's original book knows that in addition to Nie Xiaoqian, the story of the painting wall all happened after the scholar Da Lanruo.
Could it be that every female ghost encountered by a scholar happened in Lanruo Temple?
So this temple is actually not called Lanruo Temple, because it has been deserted, and the plaque is nowhere to be found, just a nameless and dilapidated Lanruo.
Maybe because it's not night, "Lanruo Temple" doesn't look gloomy and terrifying, although it is a little dilapidated and a little barren and gloomy, but because those ghosts have returned to the tomb in the north courtyard during the day, the temple is quite "clean".
It stands to reason that the temple should be a place where the light of the Buddha shines, and even if it is dilapidated, ordinary ghosts dare not approach it.
But it's ironic that this place has become a paradise for ghosts.
This temple is indeed as magnificent as Pu Songlin wrote, and the basil grows taller than a person.
The doors of the monks' houses on the east and west sides are hidden, except for a small house on the south side, and the door lock seems to be new.
The room with a new lock should be Yan Chixia's temporary residence.
In the east corner of the hall, there are clumps of thick bamboos, and under the steps there is a large pool, which is also full of wild lotus flowers, as Pu Songlin said.
This has to make Tong Xinlan wonder, outsiders say that Pu Songlin wrote only a novel, but Pu Songlin said in the book that he wrote a story from others, and outsiders only regarded it as a way to describe.
Now it seems that the story of Nie Xiaoqian written by Pu Songlin is really like the truth, could it be that he has spied on the stories of another plane?
If that's the case, Pu Songlin is also a stranger.
The concierge was locked, indicating that Yan Chixia had gone out again.
Tong Xinlan walked around the temple and didn't find anything about Ning Caichen, it seems that he hasn't arrived here yet.
Tong Xinlan found a room for herself, cleaned up briefly, and untied the quilt and other things she had bought before from the horse, and lived here.
As written in the book, when the sun set, Yan Chixia, who was dressed like a scholar, came back.
Tong Xinlan stepped forward to say hello to Yan Chixia, no matter what, this Yan Chixia plays a big role in both TV and movie books, and Tong Xinlan naturally wants to make friends with him.
Through understanding, this Yan Chixia is not a Taoist priest, a monk, or a down-and-out ghost catcher portrayed by TV and movies, he is a swordsman from Shaanxi, and he has his own private affairs when he comes to Jinhua, Yan Chixia is reluctant to say, and Tong Xinlan will no longer investigate.
Tong Xinlan's knowledge and talent are naturally much better than Ning Caichen, and Yan Chixia and Tong Xinlan also have a good conversation.
In the afternoon, Tong Xinlan also invited Yan Chixia to eat a meal called flower chicken made of pheasants she caught.
When Tong Xinlan read the original work, she wondered, why didn't Yan Chixia, who lived in "Lanruo Temple" a few days earlier than Ning Caichen, catch ghosts?
And just two days after Ning Caichen came, a scholar from Lanxi and a scholar's servant died respectively, and Yan Chixia still didn't catch ghosts?
Although he already knew that Yan Chixia was not a Taoist priest, he obviously had a magic weapon to catch ghosts, and the grandmother had attacked his door, but he didn't catch ghosts, and Tong Xinlan was very puzzled.
But Tong Xinlan can't ask such a question openly, after all, in Yan Chixia's opinion, she doesn't know that he has a magic weapon to catch ghosts.
"Brother Yan, although the child is silent, the strange power is confused, but this is located in the wilderness and is rarely populated, and I don't feel terrible during the day, at this moment, the night is getting thicker, the night wind suddenly blows the window lattice thumping and my heart beats, I can't help but remind me of the supernatural ghost stories told by my classmates in the private school, fortunately there are you as a neighbor at night, otherwise it will be night, I am really a little afraid, you say, why there are no monks in this temple, and I don't know why they abandoned the temple and left, is there something wrong here? If there were monks, I think it would be much safer. Tong Xinlan glanced at the night with a little worry.
Yan Chixia said, "Brother Tong don't have to worry, you are also an upright person, and you are blessed by the power of your master and sages, as long as you are open-minded, evil things will naturally not dare to come close to intrude." ”
Yan Chixia didn't answer Tong Xinlan's words, Tong Xinlan had to give up, she couldn't ask the magic weapon too bluntly, otherwise it would be annoying, take your time.
"What Brother Yan said is very true, it seems that I am too worried. ”
In the evening, the two went back to their temporary rooms.
This night, Nie Xiaoqian really came.
Although it is no longer necessary to restrain all her own cultivation, Tong Xinlan's vigilance is still much higher than Ning Caichen's, and Ning Caichen can find that someone has entered the house, and Tong Xinlan can naturally do it.
Tong Xinlan felt that yin qi approaching her, suddenly opened her eyes, looked at the beautiful/glamorous female ghost Nie Xiaoqian standing at the head of her bed, and wondered, "Girl, who are you? I locked the door, how did you get in? Could it be that you want to steal from me?" )
