Volume 3 A Chinese Ghost Story 9 Lanruo Temple

In the evening, the four newcomers all returned to the inn, and the day after they entered this world, Ning Caichen still did not appear.

Regarding Zhang Meina's tragic appearance, Ye Tian didn't say anything, and walked back to his room indifferently.

However, Lu Yiyi was a little sympathetic, after all, there were only two women among the trialists, she walked up to Zhang Meina to comfort the other party, and took the other party to clean up.

Zhong Tianming and Zhao Yuanguo were very calm, but Wu Yangxue was a little annoyed, they had been exposed to the scorching sun all day, Ye Tian actually left Shi Shiran, he didn't say anything, he didn't treat them as human beings.

The night was calm and the night was fine.

Early the next morning, after everyone had breakfast, Ye Tian still let the newcomer go out to monitor.

The anger in Wu Yangxue's heart was about to explode, but after seeing Ye Tian looking at him calmly, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, and his anger was suppressed, and he left without looking back.

When everyone was bored, Ye Tian pulled the shopkeeper to chat, of course, the main purpose was to think about what kind of existence it was among the locals.

Lanruo Temple is basically the kind of taboo-like existence in Guobei County, because there are too many people who have died there, and the legends of various ghosts and monsters also make the people of Guobei County dare not talk about it easily.

So when he heard that Ye Tian was going to inquire about Lanruo Temple, the shopkeeper refused, but after the other party put out 50 taels of white flowers, he was afraid that he would forget about it, and he talked about it endlessly.

I have to say that it is a good decision for Ye Tian to inquire about the news through the shopkeeper, the inn is originally a place where news gathers, especially this kind of rural ghost legend, if you may usually hold it in your heart, after you are full of wine and food, everyone will brag about their glorious experience, and some legends and stories of Lanruo Temple have gradually been collected by the shopkeeper who has been working for many years.

Lanruo Temple used to be not as barren as it is now, but a temple with flourishing incense, but later the change of dynasties and frequent wars made it gradually decay.

Even the shopkeeper told a tragic story about Lanruo Temple.

A long time ago, there was a pair of lovers who loved each other around Lanruo Temple, but under the conscription of the imperial court, the man had to go to the front line to fight the enemy, before leaving, the woman agreed with the man that she would wait for the man to come back every day under the tree under the Lanruo Temple, but a year, two years, ten years have passed, the man still has not returned, the woman can't wait, she has a serious illness, and finally before dying, she let people bury the bones under the tree, and she can't wait for each other before she dies, and she still has to wait after death.

Many years after the woman's death, the man finally returned, and he was already a majestic general, but what was waiting for him was not his beloved lover, but a lonely grave, and the man stayed in front of the grave for 3 days, and then decided to give up his position, he wanted to accompany his beloved, and the man became a monk in Lanruo Temple.

After listening to the story of the shopkeeper, Ye Tian pouted a little, he wanted to understand the background of Lanruo Temple, not to listen to any miserable love story, but Lu Yiyi next to him seemed to be moved by the story of the shopkeeper, and his eyes were red, which made Ye Tian wonder in his heart, are women so sentimental?

Near noon, Zhao Yuanguo walked into the inn quickly, and he found a poor scholar.

Although there are many people in Guobei County, there are not many scholars, and there are even fewer poor scholars.

Coincidentally, the inn where Ye Tian and the others were was the one that Ning Caichen came to ask for an account.

Ye Tian beckoned Zhao Yuanguo and asked him to recall Zhong Tianming and the others, so that they didn't have to continue to squat, and then they had to follow Ning Caichen.

Just like the original plot, Ning Caichen got the account book wet, and the amount of silver owed in the account book could not be checked at all, and the innkeeper viciously expelled Ning Caichen from the inn.

In this era, it is unseemly for scholars to ask for account books, not to mention that there will be all kinds of dangers along the road, and all kinds of difficulties that have been owed to the debtor.

Penniless Ning Caichen walked aimlessly on the road, thinking about where he could settle down for the time being, he had some talent in memory, although he couldn't remember it, but he had already memorized the amount of money in the account book, and now he only needed to find a place to write the money back down silently to complete the task of asking for the account.

Ye Tian and the others followed unhurriedly behind Ning Caichen, thinking in their hearts about how to contact the other party more naturally, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the other party.

Ning Caichen knew that Lanruo Temple could rest for free in some malicious jokes of passers-by, although the people around him looked at him a little strangely, he didn't care much, he didn't know the significance of Lanruo Temple in Guobei County in his heart, thinking that he could immediately write out the account book when he arrived at the temple, Ning Caichen's heart was slightly anxious, he really needed money so much, and now he didn't even have money for food.

People come and go in the county seat, Ye Tian and the others are not easy to be noticed, out of the county seat, the number of pedestrians on the road is significantly reduced, plus Ye Tian They also deliberately approached, and soon, Ning Caichen found that he was being followed.

Ning Caichen, who discovered this situation, suddenly panicked in his heart, but after thinking about it, he was just a poor scholar with no long things, and the other party was probably not a robber when he followed him, so he slowed down, as if he was waiting for Ye Tian and the others to follow.

Seeing this, Ye Tian understood in his heart that it seemed that Ning Caichen had discovered them, but how to connect with him, suddenly, Ye Tian had a flash of inspiration in his mind, turned to the fat man and said, "Fatty, tell me." ”

Notice, the fat man was a little puzzled, but he immediately reacted, what Ye Tian said should be the notice to investigate Lanruo Temple, and this notice is now in his bracelet.

When Ye Tian and the others approached, Ning Caichen clenched his fists and said, "I don't know what the reason is for you to follow you." ”

Ye Tian took out the notice, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "In the county seat, we heard that you are going to Lanruo Temple, and we just want to go there because of this reward. ”

After speaking, Ye Tian handed the notice to Ning Caichen.

Ning Caichen took the notice and took a closer look, and the doubts in his heart were suddenly dispelled, of course, because this notice was true, in his mind, no one had written such a notice a few years ago in order to contact him.

After breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, Ning Caichen's tone became much more polite, and said: "In Xia Ning Caichen, I came to Guobei County to ask for accounts for others, but now I have no money and nowhere to stay, I heard that Lanruo Temple can rest for free, so I want to stay there for a few days." ”

Although Ning Caichen is a scholar, his temperament is a little bold, and he almost revealed his situation in a few words.

Ye Tiandao: "It just so happens that we are also going to Lanruo Temple, let's go together." “

The group walked towards Lanruo Temple with a smile, Ning Caichen did not have the sourness of the crepe on the ordinary scholars, and his temperament was also bold and generous, and he became familiar with Ye Tian and them after a short time.

Everyone walked very fast, and after a short time, they arrived at a desolate ancient temple, and three words were faintly revealed on a stone tablet that had been dumped in front of the temple, Lanruo Temple.
