Chapter 850: People and ghosts have different paths, and it is difficult to last long
The thousand-year-old tree demon escaped, and the old demon of Montenegro fled back to the underworld, although the evil was not eliminated, but Li Nan and Yan Chixia at least kept the peace of this place for a hundred years.
The previous punishment of the Banyan Tree Demon and the rescue of Ning Caichen and those female ghosts, Li Nan obtained two hundred chivalrous points, and this time defeated the old demon of Montenegro, because he did not contribute much, but he also obtained one hundred chivalrous points.
At this rate, Li Nan only needs to kill a few more big demons, and it looks like he can complete the task and go home.
It's a pity that this is easier said than done, but it is even more difficult to implement, because in the two wars, in addition to relying on the 10,000-year-old peach wood sword and accidentally injuring the Banyan Tree Demon, he is far from being the opponent of these two big demons in terms of strength.
Now that the matter has been settled, Yan Chixia plans to go back to Lanruo Temple to continue to recuperate in seclusion, and Li Nan naturally can't stay here for a long time because of the mission.
The separation was imminent, Yan Chixia looked at Li Nan, and persuaded in a serious tone: "Brother Li, how old are you for my brother, I have something to say to you, I hope you don't mind." β
As for what Yan Chixia wanted to say, Li Nan probably guessed something, and immediately nodded: "Yan Daxia, you are also a teacher and friend to your junior brother, if you have any teachings, just say it." β
"Okay, then I'll be straight to the point."
Yan Chixia pointed to the corpse bone altar held in Li Nan's arms and said, "I know that although Xiaoqian is a ghost, she is kind-hearted. You and Xiaoqian are in love, and you also have the idea of staying together for a long time, but there are some things you may not have thought about. β
Hearing Yan Chixia's clichΓ©, Li Nan Wenyan explained: "Yan Daxia, because of my body and cultivation exercises, the power of Yuan Yang in my body is too much, although Xiao Qian will inadvertently inhale Yang Qi by my side, but it is beneficial and harmless to me. β
"No, you're mistaken." Yan Chixia shook her head and said, "What I want to tell you is not about the harm to your body, but I hope you can think more about Xiaoqian." β
"For Xiaoqian?" Li Nan was a little surprised.
"Although I, Yan, have never married a wife or had children in my life, at such an old age, I understand some of the principles of the world."
Yan Chixia said with emotion: "Xiaoqian is a female ghost, but she is also a woman. If she has been following you, she will definitely not be reincarnated, and she will never see the light, let alone communicate with other people normally, and even marry you and have children, and enjoy the joy of family. Do you think she will be happy on such a day? β
"This ......" To be honest, Li Nan really didn't think of these things.
After Yan Chixia said this, she patted him on the shoulder and left alone, leaving Li Nan standing in place, thinking about whether it was right or wrong for her to leave Nie Xiaoqian.
Just as Yan Chixia said, Nie Xiaoqian couldn't see the light at all, so it wasn't until after the sun set that Li Nan saw her.
Although Nie Xiaoqian was hiding in the urn during the day, she listened to what Yan Chixia said, so after she appeared, her mood was a little low.
Li Nan hugged Xiaoqian and asked softly, "What do you think in your heart?" β
"I... I don't know. Nie Xiaoqian hugged Li Nan tightly, frowned lightly, and said with an embarrassed face: "Li Lang, I want to be by your side, but I don't want to live such an unsightly dark day again, so... I don't know where to go from here. β
For Nie Xiaoqian, a woman who is charming and natural, Li Nan really loves her, because her yin ghost physique is also very beneficial to Li Nan's cultivation method.
To be honest, Li Nan is really reluctant to let Xiaoqian go, but he can't be too selfish, just because of these benefits, Nie Xiaoqian can't be reincarnated to accompany him for the rest of his life, Li Nan really can't do this kind of thing.
Such a decision is very difficult to make, Li Nan suffered for a long time, and still said to Xiao Qian: "I came to Lanruo Temple to save you and others from the clutches of the tree demon, if it is for your own selfishness, let you hide in the shadows for the rest of your life to be a ghost, my heart is really uneasy, so I will send you back to my hometown tomorrow." β
When Nie Xiaoqian heard Li Nan's words, tears immediately rained down, and she threw herself on his chest and cried sadly: "Li Lang......"
"Alright, alright, stop crying." Li Nan whispered softly in Xiaoqian's ear: "You and I can have this relationship for a few days, and I Li Nan is blessed, but love is not possession, but to make your lover live a better life, I only hope that after you are reincarnated, you can live a peaceful and happy life in the next life." β
That night, Li Nan and Nie Xiaoqian, the lovers who were about to leave, tried their best to linger, cherishing the last moments of each person and ghost.
The next day, Li Nan rode a fast horse and rushed to her hometown of Tsinghua County with Nie Xiaoqian's ashes altar and buried her in the cemetery of her hometown.
Standing in front of the grave, Li Nan was silent for a long time, and he seemed to see the beautiful and charming woman quietly walking away......
Li Nan, who was a little depressed, returned to Guobei Town to carry out the aftermath work.
Many people in the inn were sucked away by the old demon of Montenegro that night, and for these people who suffered from the disaster of pond fish, all Li Nan could do was help them take care of the aftermath.
In the following half a month, both the people of Guobei Town and the passers-by who passed by here were attracted by money and carried their tools to the vicinity of Lanruo Temple.
A large number of felled trees were transported by craftsmen to Lanruo Temple, and a group of masons hired by Li Nan began to renovate the temple, and the wood was used here.
When Lanruo Temple reappeared with a solemn and solemn demeanor, the banyan tree body that was more than 40 meters high not far away was also cut down by hundreds of people like ants gnawing elephants, and under Li Nan's order, the roots of the banyan tree were also drenched with fire oil and burned.
After consuming almost all the gold and silver on his body, Li Nan finally eradicated the body of the thousand-year-old dryad, and it was unknown when it would reappear.
After the two monsters in the area of Lanruo Temple were gone, they finally regained their calm, and Li Nan used the last silver on his body to leave a large amount of wine for Yan Chixia, and then went on the road alone.
Relying on Yan Chixia's 'Qiankun Borrowing Technique', Li Nan traveled around the world, practicing chivalry and killing demons everywhere, although he could only get a few points of chivalry every time, but it was better than nothing.
In order to complete the main quest, Li Nan traveled south and north, and he actually made a lot of fame, because he was tall and handsome, so the people of this world called him 'Jade-faced Heavenly Monarch'.
On this day, Li Nan walked to a small town, and was looking for a place to settle down to eat some food, but saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old scholar, hurrying forward with a panicked face.
Li Nan has long become a nosy person for the sake of chivalry, and when he saw this scholar like this, he immediately stopped him, smiled and asked: "Boy, I don't think you're getting better, I don't know what's so difficult?" β
This scholar was stopped on the road, because because of his mood, he wanted to reprimand, but he looked up and saw Li Nan's long sword hanging from his waist, and his majestic appearance was magnificent, and he was suddenly frightened and swallowed his words.
Seeing that Li Nan didn't ask the reason and didn't let him go, the scholar had no choice but to say: "Xiaosheng's surname is Jiao, a local, who usually reads quietly in an old house at home on the edge of the town, but unexpectedly, since a few days ago, some strange things have appeared there one after another. β
