Chapter 176: Lanruo Temple
After the two of them had eaten, they looked at the sky, and Dongfang Yu said, "Okay, Brother Ning, we have to go faster, it may rain when it looks like the sky."
"It's raining?" , Ning Caichen, who was lying on the lawn and was still reminiscing about the food just now, was slightly stunned when he heard this, looked at the sky, the appearance of the blue sky, and expressed doubts, looking at such a sky, where does it look like it is going to rain?
Dongfang Yu, without explanation, got up and walked, in the end, the magical ability shown by Dongfang Yu was still very convincing, after eating, Ning Caichen also felt some strength, got up with a grunt, put on his bag, followed behind Dongfang Yu, and walked briskly.
Sure enough, after walking for an hour or so, when I saw the stone monument of Guobei County from a distance, thunder sounded in the sky, and at the same time, thick dark clouds drifted from nowhere.
Approaching the county seat of Guobei County, there was a small thatched pavilion on the road, Dongfang Yu and Ning Caichen hid in the pavilion, and it didn't take long for the downpour to fall, the raindrops of beans, Ning Caichen was very happy, and his mouth couldn't stop saying words of admiration and reverence.
Looking at Ning Caichen's appearance, Dongfang Yu smiled secretly in his heart, in the original book, Ning Caichen was wet because of the rain, and he couldn't see anything clearly, and the shopkeeper of the inn naturally refused to hand over the silver to him, so he had no choice but to stay in Lanruo Temple, and now, this account book is not wet, maybe he won't go to Lanruo Temple again.
To put it mildly, as in the original book, people and ghosts love each other, and finally Nie Xiaoqian was reincarnated, in the end, he still ended up with a lover who could not finally become a family, and today he changed his fate, no longer have to stay in Lanruo Temple, and there is no need to start a love that is destined to be a tragedy, perhaps, it may not be a good thing for him.
At this moment, a dense and panicked footsteps sounded, and immediately, I saw seven or eight people, running over here in a panic, behind them, a swordsman with a sword was chasing and killing these people, it turned out that these guys were bandits, and they made a living by stealing every day, but today they kicked the iron plate and met a swordsman with strong martial arts, so they were chased all the way.
Seeing this murderous scene, Ning Caichen was naturally afraid, but with Dongfang Yu by his side, he felt safe, so he just shrank behind Dongfang Yu.
Dongfang Yu, look at the other party carefully, the strength of this swordsman is not weak, although it can't be compared with himself, but this force, if it is placed on the Fengyun plane, it can be regarded as a first-class master, these bandits, where will they be his opponents? Cutting melons and vegetables, he was easily killed.
This swordsman, after killing all the bandits, stood in the rain and looked at Dongfang Yu and Ning Caichen, his eyes stopped on the elven sword straddling Dongfang Yu's waist for a moment, and then put away the sword and entered the pavilion.
In the pavilion, it is only for people to hide from the rain and the sun, and the furnishings are naturally simple, there is only one stone table and two stone benches, because Ning Caichen is a little afraid of this swordsman, so he hid behind Dongfang Yu and vacated a stone bench, and this swordsman is not welcome, and the big horse golden knife sat down.
"Brother Xiahou?" , Dongfang Yu turned his head, glanced at the swordsman beside him, and asked, although it was a question sentence, but it was the tone of an affirmative sentence, this person was obviously the Xiahou swordsman who was killed by the tree spirit grandmother of Lanruo Temple after a soy sauce fight in a Chinese ghost story.
Speaking of which, the strength of this Xiahou swordsman is still very strong, otherwise he would not be qualified to become the number one swordsman in the world, in the original book, he is actually a step worse than Yan Chixia, but, unfortunately, he is just a swordsman after all, but he has no ability to subdue demons and subdue demons, and he was confused by female ghosts, so that he was easily killed by Lan Ruo's tree spirit.
"Who is Your Excellency? Know me? It was just a meeting in Pingshui, but Dongfang Yu revealed his identity in one mouth, Xiahou Swordsman's expression tightened, his palm was on the scabbard, and he asked.
"Dao Chief, do you know this person", even Ning Caichen, when he heard Dongfang Yu call Xiahou Swordsman, asked cautiously.
"Brother Xiahou is here for Yan Chixia of Lanruo Temple?" , Dongfang Yu ignored the hostility of the Xiahou swordsman and asked.
"Who are you, who not only know me, but also Yan Chixia? How do you know that Yan Chixia is in Lanruo Temple? Xiahou swordsman, the look of suspicion in his expression was even more suspicious, he directly pulled out his sword, stared at Dongfang Yu and asked.
"You forgot? I can pinch and calculate", looking back, Dongfang Yu smiled at Ning Caichen and replied, then turned his head and said to Xiahou Swordsman: "Brother Xiahou, I don't think you look like a bad person, but your competitiveness is too great, I'll give you a hexagram."
"Hmph, you are a Taoist priest, and Yan Chixia is also a Taoist priest, were you sent by him?" , Xiahou Swordsman, obviously did not easily believe Dongfang Yu, snorted coldly, and opened his mouth to ask, but suspected that Dongfang Yu and Yan Chixia were together.
"Brother Xiahou's trip is dangerous, if you insist on going to Lanruo Temple, I'm afraid your life will be in danger", Dongfang Yu shook his head, and said to Xiahou swordsman regretfully, wanting to persuade him to turn back.
Although Dongfang Yu has never thought of himself as a good person who sacrifices himself, and even has no number of lives on hand, if he can save someone with a single effort, Dongfang Yu still wants to try.
"Hmph, the devil confuses the public, how can you believe the words of the warlocks? In my life, the most hated thing is the Taoist, you go back and tell Yan Chixia that I will definitely go to Lanruo Temple tonight, and find him no matter how high or low he is", for Dongfang Yu's words, Xiahou swordsman obviously didn't listen to it, but he didn't mean to do anything, and put the sword into the sheath, ignoring the heavy rain outside, and left the small pavilion.
It wasn't until Xiahou's swordsman's figure completely disappeared into the rain curtain that Ning Caichen opened his mouth and asked Dongfang Yu, "Dao Chief, you said he would die?" Will someone as powerful as him die? ”。
Yes, in Ning Caichen's opinion, the bandits in the world are very terrifying, but that Xiahou swordsman, one person and one sword, easily killed these bandits, it is even more powerful, and someone as powerful as him will die? Ning Caichen thought it was incredible.
"Martial arts are powerful, but you can't stop the demons and monsters", shaking his head, Dongfang Yu sighed in a low voice, with a gesture, it is his creation that can be saved, and if he can't save it, Dongfang Yu can only sigh regretfully, he insists on looking for death, who can stop him?
In fact, Xiahou Swordsman's persistence, Dongfang Yu already has some guesses in his heart, in the original book, even if Xiahou Swordsman was killed by the tree spirit grandmother, when Yan Chixia buried his bones, he also moved to kill Yan Chixia, his obsession with Yan Chixia can be said to be enchanted, and if he can be persuaded away by his own words, then he is not a Xiahou swordsman.
Soon, the rain stopped, Ning Caichen cleaned up, and was about to go to the county seat to collect the accounts, but Dongfang Yu did not follow him into the county seat, he walked with Ning Caichen, but his goal was Lanruo Temple, by the way, since he arrived at the ground, there was no need to follow him.
Hearing that Dongfang Yu was leaving, Ning Caichen was very reluctant, but there was no feast in the world, Ning Caichen didn't say much, and after saying goodbye to each other, Ning Caichen put on his bags and walked into the county seat.
Looking at his back, Dongfang Yu sighed in his heart, missing Nie Xiaoqian, for him, it was really not joy or sorrow.
Shaking his head, how can he feel a lot of emotion recently, Dongfang Yu also left the small pavilion, Lanruo Temple, Dongfang Yu only knows that it is near Guobei County, but he doesn't know which direction it is, but this is not a problem, the direction in which Xiahou swordsman left just now should be the direction of Lanruo Temple.
The road after the heavy rain is very difficult to walk, and in some places the mud can even reach the depth of the calf, but the chakra of the oriental jade gathers on the soles of the feet, but it is like walking on the ground.
After walking for several miles, he finally came to a forest, and as soon as he walked into this forest, Dongfang Yu felt a feeling of being watched, and there seemed to be a certain kind of coldness in the air that made him feel very uncomfortable.
Even the dragon veins that were placed in the backpack and carried close to the back seemed to shake slightly at this moment, Dongfang Yu sighed secretly, this world with ghosts and monsters really makes people feel uncomfortable.
Ordinary people may not be able to feel it, but Dongfang Yu's spiritual sense is very keen, and he can clearly feel that the surroundings seem to be filled with a cold atmosphere, and it is no wonder that cultivators want to subdue demons and eliminate demons, not to mention anything else, just these pervasive demonic and ghostly qi make them feel very uncomfortable.
In this woods, you can see the bones that no one has collected everywhere, and occasionally you can hear a few wolf howls, no wonder even in such a chaotic era of cannibalism, the people of Guobei County have changed their color about Lanruo Temple here, just the bones that can be seen everywhere on the road, coupled with the gloomy atmosphere here, it makes people feel hairy in their hearts.
On the Dongfang Jade side, he entered the woods of Lanruo Temple, and on the other side, in Guobei County, Ning Caichen found an inn to collect the accounts.
Originally, seeing a guest come in, the shopkeeper of the inn and Xiao Er were still very enthusiastic, and even Xiao Er rushed to help Ning Caichen carry his bags, but as Ning Caichen's words came out, he said that he was sent by Jibao Zhai to collect the accounts, and the shopkeeper of the inn immediately turned cold, and Xiao Er also rolled his eyes, and directly threw Ning Caichen's bags on the ground and left.
Looking at the bags he threw on the ground, Ning Caichen had no choice but to hurriedly pick up the bags on the ground, and immediately turned out the account book from inside.
coincided with the troubled times, that is, the world of people eating people, the world is so chaotic, and the shopkeeper is unwilling to take out the money, but since the other party has an account book, the score is exactly the same, and in desperation, the shopkeeper also gave the money to Ning Caichen, and then drove him away with a tiger face.
In the inn, there are three religions and nine streams, and the county town is also in chaos, shouting and killing constantly, covering the silver he received, Ning Caichen cautiously walked through the crowd, but he didn't see it, behind him, there were a few men with fierce looks, who followed him from the inn and followed out......
For these outlaws, a scholar like Ning Caichen with money on his body is like a fat sheep walking around, how can he let it go? (To be continued.) )
