Chapter 288: Sleepless on a Moonlit Night
"Is it really Lanruo Temple?"
After listening to Wei Chengen's words, Tang Luo said secretly in his heart.
When they were in Anseong, Tang Luo and the others met a snake demon who claimed to be from the "Black Mountain Stream", and claimed that the demon king of the Black Mountain Stream was very powerful.
Tang Luo asked Kong Ming about this matter, and Kong Ming said that he had not heard of the Black Mountain Stream, but said that there was a strange temple that appeared everywhere in the Great Secluded, and it was suspected that the famous Lanruo Temple in Liaozhai was located.
Fu Fengxue and Ah Fei were also investigating the matter, but they didn't expect Tang Luo to collide directly.
And I didn't meet Fu Fengxue and Ah Fei, but I met Wei Chengen.
Wei Chengen has been trapped here for three days, and when he entered here, he really entered by mistake, not to take the initiative to come over to subdue demons and eliminate demons.
In addition to this village, there is another piece of architecture in this "mountain forest" land.
It's Lanruo Templeβat least the plaque outside the temple is these three big characters.
The temple occupies a large area, and it is not far from the Huanxi Temple in the central capital.
The temple nave tower is magnificent, but it is not "no one in the basil, it seems to be a ...... of traces" in the chat, but it is clean and clean, and there is not much dust.
If it weren't empty, it would be mistaken for a large temple with strong incense.
But Wei Chengen didn't dare to go in, he just observed for a while on the outermost side and immediately retreated, and when he retreated, he vaguely heard the woman's chuckle, but fortunately nothing happened.
Returning to Niujia Village, Wei Chengen tried many methods, but he couldn't leave this place shrouded in a faint mist.
In Niujia Village, for some reason, there is less cold air in the air than in the outside world.
In the past few days, Wei Chengen has mainly been hiding here, and there has been no accident.
He also knew in his heart that this time Lanruo Temple was a pass, I am afraid it would be difficult, this task was very big, so big that he could hang around in the end.
But this time it hit a real danger that can definitely threaten your life.
"You didn't get the assignment?" Tang Luo asked.
"It should be that you have entered the Lanruo Temple before you will receive the task." Wei Chengen said.
So far, he has not received a single task, let alone any possibility of returning.
However, relying on the technique of Huanxi Temple, his strength has improved a lot.
I have already made up my mind to just mess around like this for a year and a half, and it will only take two or three years at most. Anyway, with Xuanzang, Kong Ming and others going to complete the task, Da Yu will not change the sky.
Be careful not to go to the inaccessible place, and you'll be fine.
With such a thought, how could Wei Chengen, who felt the danger, enter the Lanruo Temple?
"Then let's go, lead the way." Tang Luo said.
There is no one in Niujia Village, I don't know if there is anyone in Lanruo Temple, since he is here, if there are still people and can be saved, Tang Luo will definitely save it.
So he didn't ignore the slap.
It's also a good thing to be able to receive the task, Tang Luo is not in a hurry, he is very stable on the surface, and he is even more stable in his heart.
As for Wei Chengen, although he was tempered, he was still panicked.
In addition to Lanruo Temple, the source of the greater panic is behind it, of course.
Walking in the mountains and forests, Wei Chengen said in a low voice: "You don't have to deliberately look for it, nine out of ten times you can come to the outside of Lanruo Temple." β
Sure enough, it took about a stick of incense to walk in the slightly dense mountain forest.
The front suddenly opens up, and you can see a magnificent temple that can be called a temple tower.
Above the half-open gate, the sign of Lanruo Temple is clearly visible.
Tang Luo didn't stop, pushed open the door and walked in directly, and the originally thin white mist suddenly rolled thick at this moment.
Before Wei Chengen could react, he lost Tang Luo's sight.
Gritting his teeth, he also walked into the Lanruo Temple together.
As soon as I stepped in, the information about the mission came to my mind, and it was only five words.
But Wei Chengen was struck by lightning - destroyed Lanruo Temple!
"This task is actually for me? No, it's obviously for Master Xuanzang! Wei Chengen wailed in his heart, and even forgot the pain on his hands.
But his footsteps did not stop at all, and he walked towards the temple, as if he was going to the execution ground to die generously.
Even if he Wei Chengen dies today, if he dies here, he won't be tempered again-this time is definitely not fragrant.
Many of the rooms in the temple are half-hidden, just like the outermost gate.
It was empty, but it was furnished not like a temple, but like a women's boudoir.
And there are no Buddha statues in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, which is magnificent, and a large pond in the middle is made of a large piece of nephrite.
Wei Chengen was not surprised by the "appearance" of Lanruo Temple.
This is the territory of the Dryad's grandmother, and it is not a real temple, even if it was before, it is not now, it would be nice to have the shell of the temple.
It's just that he stopped and observed everywhere along the way, but Wei Chengen didn't find any trees.
Not to mention a big willow tree, not even a small tree was seen.
He originally thought that the matter had come to this point, and if he found the big tree in Lanruo Temple, it should be the tree demon grandmother, and it would be atonement for his sins to die with her.
I didn't expect to find nothing all the way forward, and even the woman's laughter I heard at the beginning was gone.
If it weren't for the emptiness that revealed a bit of weirdness, I really couldn't see the slightest danger.
"Could it be that the master is starting to do it?" Wei Chengen gritted his teeth and did not leave Lanruo Temple, but stood guard at the door.
Time flies, and soon night falls.
"There's footsteps, someone's coming!"
Wei Chengen, who was a little sleepy, opened his eyes suddenly, walked out of Lanruo Temple quickly, and looked at the comer.
The visitor obviously didn't expect that there were people in the dilapidated temple of this quiet temple, so he was taken aback, took two steps back and said, "This old man, dare to ask who this place is?" β
"Uncle?"
Wei Chengen was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he had spent the past three days in a panic, and then he was taught a lesson by Tang Luo, and he was in Lanruo Temple step by step.
At this time, the description is really terrible, and it is not an exaggeration to call him an old man.
"Don't you see such a big signboard in Lanruo Temple?" "This is not the place you should be, there is a small abandoned village on the other side where you can go and rest." β
The person who came was around thirty years old, with a dark complexion, and a tall figure who was dressed as a scholar, which made Wei Chengen unclear about his identity for a while.
Could it be the legendary Ning Caichen?
"Village?" The scholar was puzzled, "Xiao Ke has traveled all the way, but I haven't seen any villages." β
"How can it be ......," Wei Chengen said, his face changed, "You come with me!" β
As he spoke, he grabbed the scholar's arm and led him away from Lanruo Temple.
The scholar showed a fierce look on his face, as if he wanted to resist, but Wei Chengen's strength was not small, and he staggered.
The fierce face dissipated, turning into a little surprise, and Wei Chengen took him away.
After some time, the sky became darker and darker, almost like night.
Wei Chengen and the scholar returned to Lanruo Temple, and their faces showed a look of surprise again.
Just now he took the scholar around, but he couldn't find Niujia Village, which could still be seen during the day.
The two exchanged a little.
That scholar is not Ning Caichen, his name is Lu Sheng.
A hundred years ago, the family was also a wealthy family in the land of a mansion, but later the family fell into the middle of the road, and barely let the incense be cut off.
Lu Sheng has a meritorious reputation, not enough to be an official, but he can walk around and be exempt from all kinds of forced labor and taxes.
He was the only one left in the family, so he did not continue to seek a career, and with the convenience of his identity, he started to collect debts.
The large wooden box behind it was full of IOUs and collected finances.
And Wei Chengen put on the identity of an outsider, muttering a little in his heart, how do he feel that he has become Yan Chixia.
This Lu Sheng is Ning Caichen.
There was no Niujia Village, and Tang Luo was not found, and when they came back, they saw that there had been some changes in Lanruo Temple.
You can faintly hear the sound of silk and bamboo, whispering and laughing from it, and you can see some firelight swaying.
"Look, I said this temple is not normal." Wei Chengen said, "You go, if you stay, you will die." β
After being degreed, he wanted to be a good person, and he was very grateful to Master Xuanzang for giving him the opportunity.
"This barren mountain and wilderness." Lu Sheng refused, "Where else can I go?" It's just a matter of dealing with one night. As a scholar, I am upright, I don't do bad things, I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, even if there are any demons and monsters, can you still hurt me? β
"......" Wei Chengen was a little angry.
If you live well, why do you have to die?
"Amitabha." A Buddha horn came from behind, Wei Chengen turned around in surprise, and sure enough, he saw Tang Luo.
"What this donor said is right, just demons and monsters, what is there to be afraid of." Tang Luo said with one hand on his chest, white hair and white clothes, and a kitten squatting on his shoulder.
Just standing in the Lanruo Temple, there is a bit of a weird demon monk's feeling.
"Master!" Wei Chengen was pleasantly surprised.
"Monk?" Lu Sheng's eyes narrowed, and he arched his hand and said, "I don't know ...... mage."
"Poor monk Xuanzang."
Lu Sheng gave his hand again and introduced himself a little, but he was not a person who was good at words, and seeing that Wei Chengen had no intention of hindering him, he walked towards Lanruo Temple.
I found a vacant room, sat down simply, closed my eyes and rested.
"Master......" Wei Chengen wanted to speak and stopped.
Tang Luo shook his head slightly, signaling Wei Chengen to be quiet.
This Lanruo Temple is very interesting, the reason for his disappearance is very simple, it is because he used the merit jade lotus, and he is in an invisible state.
followed Wei Chengen for a while to see if he could catch any fish.
After that, he went around the inside and outside of Lanruo Temple, and found no more discoveries, until just now, all kinds of laughter and laughter sounded in his ears, as if he had entered another world.
"Let's go, let's see if there's a chance to save people." Tang Luo said.
"I persuaded him Na Lu Sheng, but he didn't listen." Wei Chengen hurriedly said.
"I'm not talking about him, but since you have a heart, stay here and take care of it." Tang Luo said, walking towards the depths of Lanruo Temple.
Wei Chengen didn't dare to follow, so he came to Lu Sheng's room and said, "Lu Xiucai, don't mind dealing with me for one night." β
Lu Sheng smiled: "My husband, please." β
Wei Chengen sat down, the two chatted a few words, and after a while, the hidden door was gently pushed open.
"I don't sleep on a moonlit night, I wish Xiuyan a good time."
A faint grievance, cold and cold, but the sound of tugging at the heartstrings reached the ears of the two.
