The road of life

Sweet dreams are like long roads

The road is windy and frosty

The wind and frost are dry

In the red dust

There are many directions to sweet dreams

Looking for crazy dream center love

The road is boundless

……

Guobei County.

A weak scholar in white, carrying a basket, crossed mountains and mountains, rushed here, just to check the account books and collect debts.

But I don't want the heavy rain on the road, and encounter the vendetta of the rivers and lakes, under the fear, I rushed in the rain, and the heavy rain wet the white cloth back basket, and the white paper and black words inside have already been pasted together, where can I still see clearly.

The scholar was a little witty, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he closed the account book and said with a smile: "Boss, can you take a look at your stubs?" It's the new rule! ”

"New rules? Take a look! ”

But he didn't want to be cunning and cunning, and the innkeeper had already swept it with his afterglow, dragged the account book in the scholar's hand, flipped through it a few times, and sneered: "What kind of account is this?" It's dark, it's messy, how do you collect the debt? ”

The scholar held the account book in his arms, his face darkened, he looked sideways at the ground, and whispered weakly: "If I can't collect the account, I won't have the money to go back, help......"

There was a hint of begging and shame in Wen Run's voice, and it was obvious that if he hadn't been forced to do so, he wouldn't have begged so lowly.

Shinong Industry and Commerce!

In this era, a scholar, because of his family's embarrassment and this cheap business, has been very despised by others, and he is also deeply inferior, and now he wants to pull down his face and beg a businessman, the scholar's heart is really mixed!

"Since there is no account of mine in the ledger, then I don't owe you any money."

The innkeeper had already seen through the scholar's cowardice and deception, and walked out of the counter with a proud face, grabbing the scholar and sneering.

"If you want to play tricks, if you don't leave, I'll call someone to arrest you! Don't let me see you again! ”

The innkeeper pushed the scholar out hard, and the shopkeeper also cooperated and threw the scholar's back basket out, and after threatening the scholar, he no longer paid attention to the scholar who fell into the mud and was embarrassed.

Whether it was the sharp guests or the pedestrians outside the inn, they all looked numb and ignored them.

In desperation, the scholar stood up, picked up the basket, looked up at the sky, and saw that it was dusk, and he had to find a place to spend the night, so he grabbed a small stall owner next to him, and asked with a smile: "Boss, where can I stay for a free night?" ”

The stall owner was a little impatient, glanced at the scholar, his heart moved, and said with bad intentions: "If you want to stay for free, then go to Lanruo Temple!" ”

As soon as these three words came out, the originally noisy street market immediately fell silent, and everyone came over with a brush, and even the stall owner who said this stared at the scholar.

Being looked at directly by so many red fruits, the scholar looked around a little uncomfortably, as soon as his gaze arrived, everyone immediately avoided it, and did not dare to look directly, even the stall owner shuddered, and some regretted that he was cheap, why did he mention this obscure place.

"Excuse me, where is Lanruo Temple?" The scholar didn't know why, but he was penniless at the moment, and he urgently needed a place to live, so he could only continue to ask.

Seeing that the scholar was really going to Lanruo Temple, everyone on the street looked at it again, and the stall owner replied with a stiff face: "Lan, Lanruo Temple, three and a half miles east from here, there is a very gloomy ancient temple." ”

Everyone talked to each other behind the scholar, discussed silently, and when they saw the scholar move, they immediately stopped, and looked at the scholar again, their eyes were extremely weird.

"I'm sorry, let's let, let's go!"

It was approaching nightfall, the time was very fast, and the scholar did not have time to think about it, after learning the location of Lanruo Temple, he immediately walked towards the east, but before he could walk out of the market, a person suddenly appeared, holding a ruler and began to measure his size.

"What are you doing?" The scholar was puzzled.

"I not only sell paper money, but also coffins, measure it now, and it will be useful when the time comes." The man opened his mouth and said.

The scholar pushed this person away and said in his heart: "Could it be that you have a nervous disorder......

"Hey, hey, I'm kind enough to remind you, there are wild wolves in the woods ahead, they've been hungry for a long time, and they will come out as soon as it gets dark, and you will definitely meet them." The coffin seller frightened.

"Thank you." The scholar arched his hand and hurried out of the market.

Although I was scared, it was much better than sleeping on the street, this weather, there would be heavy rain pouring at any time, sleeping outside, even if he didn't freeze to death, he would have a cold and flu, his pockets were empty, and he didn't even have money for food, let alone ask for medical medicine.

Although three and a half miles is not far away, it is still quite difficult for a weak scholar who has crossed the mountains and crossed the mountains and tired for a day, and when the scholar supported his tired body and rushed to the woods in the mouth, the sky was already dark and gloomy.

Taking out the lantern from the basket and lighting it, the scholar carried the lantern and walked in the woods in fear, his eyes always scanning the surroundings, for fear that the hungry wolf would pounce at any time.

Whoa!

Afraid of something, a few wolf howls sounded, and the scholar caught a glimpse of the hungry wolf by the faint light of the lantern.

The three hungry wolves immediately followed, where did the scholar run the hungry wolf, and he was about to be caught up by the hungry wolf, and suddenly a stone tablet appeared in front of him, and the stone tablet was engraved with the three words of Lanruo Temple.

The scholar was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran along the stone road, and when he ran, he looked back, but saw that the hungry wolf with green light in his eyes stopped there, no longer chasing, although he was surprised, but he still didn't dare to slow down, and after a while, he panted and rested on a stone tablet, and muttered in his mouth: "Strange, strange!" ”

"What's so strange about that?" A gentle laugh rang in the scholar's ears.

"What the hell!" The scholar screamed and ran towards the temple, praying as he ran.

"I'm just a scholar who stays overnight, and I have no grievances with you, don't come to harm me!"

"This brother, you are silent, you are a scholar, you are so timid?" The gentle male voice followed him like a shadow, but the words he said made the scholar stunned and stopped.

"Yes, I'm a saint, how can I be so cowardly. Besides, whoever can say this, even if it is a ghost, must be a good ghost who admires humanitarianism, and he will certainly not persecute me. ”

Thinking of this, the scholar trembled, turned to look, and by the miserable moonlight, more than ten steps behind him, a man in green clothes stood with his hands in his hands, looking at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Looking at its temperament, it is gentle and elegant, righteous and brilliant, where is there half a bit of ghostly atmosphere?

Despite this, the scholar still said in a trembling voice: "This brother, you are a human, not a ghost?" ”

"This is natural. In the lower Mahew, a traveler in the rivers and lakes, today happened to travel here, smelled that there is an ancient temple Lanruo Temple here, came to visit, saw Brother Tai was chased by a hungry wolf, and went straight to the temple, then said hello, do not want to frighten Brother Tai, it is really rude, do not blame do not blame! Matthew clenched his fists and laughed.

"It turned out to be Brother Ma!" Shuchang breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his clothes, and returned the salute.

"Xiaosheng Ning Caichen, I've seen Brother Ma!"

"It turned out to be Brother Ning!" Matthew holds his fist.

"Brother Ma, it's so late, you said you came to visit the ancient temple Lanruo Temple?" Scholar Ning Caichen was surprised.

"It's not a good time."

"Might as well as that!" Matthew said with a smile on his lips.

"There are some landscapes that are not here and now, and you can't see them in person."

Ning Caichen didn't understand what he meant, but he also admired Matthew's elegant and calm demeanor, and sighed: "Admire, admire, Brother Ma's chic pleasure is really envied by the younger brother." Now the world is sinister, Brother Ma can wander the rivers and lakes alone, and he must have a stunt, presumably it was Brother Tai who drove away the hungry wolf and saved the little brother just now, right? Thanks, thanks! ”

Matthew shook his head and said: "Brother Ning has won the award, although he has the heart to help just now, but he has not made a move, it is not Xia who drove away the hungry wolf, but this ancient temple!" ”

"This ancient temple?"

Ning Caichen was stunned for a moment, looked around, and saw that under the dim moonlight, the ancient temple was broken, decaying and decaying, and there was no one to breathe, how could he deter the hungry wolf?

As soon as the cold wind blew, a chill that penetrated people's hearts hit my heart, and I unconsciously shuddered, thinking of the strange performance of everyone in Guobei County before, I couldn't help but hug the soaked back basket tightly, and looked around, I always felt that there was a dark and terrifying aura shrouded here, and I couldn't help but take a few steps forward, approached Matthew, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Ma, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Huh~" Matthew pretended to be surprised and said lightly.

"Brother Ning, don't you know that this ancient temple is unusual......"
