Chapter 3: Doesn't Seem Right (For [Shadow Stalker] Ten Thousand Rewards)
"Open the space barrier and enter the movie world - "A Chinese Ghost Story"."
"Main quest 1: Kill the Dryad Grandma.
Main quest 2: Kill the old demon of Montenegro.
Main quest 3: Help Nie Xiaoqian reincarnate. ”
At the end of January, the familiar scene reappeared, but Zuo Xiaoyou didn't expect that the world he entered this time was actually "A Chinese Ghost Story".
Speaking of the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", there are three versions, the first is "A Chinese Ghost Story" directed by Li Hanxiang in 1960, that movie is too old, and Zuo Xiaoyou has never seen it.
Then came "A Chinese Ghost Story" produced by Tsui Hark in 1987 and starring Leslie Cheung and Wang Zuxian. Zuo Xiaoyou has seen this movie, which is definitely a classic in Chinese film history. Although in 2011, Tianxian Liu and Louis Koo also acted in a "A Chinese Ghost Story", but the classicity and influence are ten streets worse than Leslie Cheung and Wang Zuxian's version of "A Chinese Ghost Story".
But the biggest problem at the moment is the world of "A Chinese Ghost Story...... Which version is it?
When Zuo Xiaoyou came to this world, he was relieved when he saw the lowly costumes of pedestrians on the street.
Great, it's the 87 version.
……
In Guobei County, Zuo Xiaoyou bought a new set of clothes in a ready-to-wear store. It's still a white scholar's outfit, but compared with the slightly luxurious in the previous world, this one is relatively plain, and there is a scholar's hat on top of his head, which looks a little silly on his head.
"Boss, do you know how to get to Lanruo Temple?" When I got dressed and paid the bill, I asked casually.
"Childe is going to Lanruo Temple?" The boss was a middle-aged man in his forties, and he was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Don't!" I heard that Lanruo Temple is haunted, and no one who went to Lanruo Temple came back alive. ”
Zuo Xiao raised his right eyebrows and said, "Lanruo Temple is a Buddhist temple." How can it be haunted? ”
"Alas! The world is not peaceful, there are demons all over the world, what is so strange about the haunting in the temple? The boss sighed: "Now there are people in the city who dare to kill people in the street, and it is even more unsafe when you go out of the city, there are bandits and robbers, jackals, tigers and leopards, demons and monsters everywhere." The world is in turmoil, and the people are having a hard time! ”
Left and right, the mind is dignified. When he first watched the movie, he thought that this world was a bit scary, but now that he is in it, he realizes that this world is more terrifying than he imagined.
"Thank you boss for telling me, but if you have something important, you must go to Lanruo Temple, and I hope the boss will tell you where Lanruo Temple is going." Left and right clenched fists and bowed.
"Childe can't help it." The boss was moved by Zuo Xiaoyou's attitude, and hurriedly said: "Three and a half miles east of the city is Lanruo Temple." ”
"Thank you, boss."
"Childe is polite."
After that, Zuo Xiaoyou inquired about the current year.
"Childe must have been in retreat for many years, and he forgot about the years." The owner was very admirable.
“……”
"It's the thirteenth day of the seventh month of the third year of the Great Unification, and tomorrow is the Menglan Festival." The boss said.
"Menglan Festival ......" right year. Zuo Xiaoyou doesn't care, the story of A Chinese Ghost Story was born from Liaozhai, and the time of the Liaozhai world is vague and chaotic, the world of A Chinese Ghost Story is like this, but the year is not important, but the month and date are very important.
He remembered that Ning Caichen had stayed overnight in Lanruo Temple, and the next day was the Menglan Festival.
In Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia, it is said that the ghost gate of the underworld will be wide open. Countless ghosts flock to the yang world to linger, which can be described as "yin qi rushing to the sky". In the movie, Nie Xiaoqian also told Ning Caichen that only on the day of Menglan Festival every year can she get back the painting with her.
In this way, wouldn't today be the day when Ning Caichen went to Lanruo Temple?
Zuo Xiaoyou was shocked, and left immediately after thanking the boss, at this time it was approaching evening, and Zuo Xiaoyou had to rush to Lanruo Temple earlier. lest he and Ning Caichen staggered.
Walking briskly in the direction of the city gate, it didn't take long for him to stop.
At a painting stall on the side of the road, a woman with black hair in white clothes and bright eyebrows appeared in a picture scroll. The moment I saw this painting, I remembered who the person on this painting was.
It is Nie Xiaoqian, the protagonist of this world.
One with a dog skin plaster. The middle-aged man who described obscene and held a feather fan in his hand smiled hehehe: "Does Childe want to buy paintings?" ”
Zuo Xiaoyou pointed to Nie Xiaoqian's painting and asked, "How much does this painting cost?" ”
The owner of the painting stall looked at Zuo Xiaoyou's clothes, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's not expensive, only ten taels of silver." ”
"Hehe......" Zuo Xiaoyou sneered: "How much silver do you have on one finger?" ”
"What does Childe mean?" The stall owner's face changed.
The Heavenly Sword came out of its sheath and slashed at the ground, and a three-meter-long, seven-inch-deep crack instantly appeared on the ground under his left and right feet.
Leaning on the sky and returning to the sheath, Zuo Xiaoyou stared coldly at the stall owner, pointing to the painting: "How much?" ”
The owner of the painting stall almost urinated, swallowed and saliva, revealing a smile that was more ugly than crying: "500 Wen." ”
One tael of silver is equal to consistent copper coins, and consistent copper coins are equal to one thousand copper coins, which shows how dark the stall owner asked for ten taels of silver before.
Zuo Xiaoyou threw him a piece of broken silver and took the painting.
As soon as he left, the stall owner slumped in his chair and was sweating profusely. Picking up the piece of broken silver, the owner of the painting stall smiled: "The painting of 50 wen was sold for 500 wen and earned." ”
From South ~ Beijing to North ~ Beijing, what you buy is not as good as what you sell.
After leaving the city on the left and right, he went east. At this time, the sun has set in the west, and the sun is setting, shining a golden afterglow. The road outside the city is difficult to walk, and the left and right are transported lightly, but it is also easy.
The distance of three and a half miles is fleeting, and before sunset, Zuo Xiaoyou has already stood in front of Lanruo Temple.
The afterglow shines on the tower of Lanruo Temple, and Wei Wei is magnificent.
There are Jialan Arhat sculptures inside and outside Lanruo Temple, but so many Buddha statues and sculptures are of no use to female ghosts, which shows that this place has become an abandoned place for Buddhism. But there are demons and monsters rampant in the world, but there are no gods and Buddhas to descend demons and eliminate demons, which shows that there must be something wrong in the fairy and Buddha world.
Zuo Xiaoyou sighed: "What a chaotic world. ”
……
Something is wrong!
From the moment he entered Lanruo Temple, Zuo Xiaoyou felt that something was wrong.
Where did Yan Chixia go?
According to the plot in the movie, Yan Chixia has been living in seclusion in Lanruo Temple for several months at this time, and today Xiahou will come to him to duel, and at night, Ning Caichen will come here.
Ning Caichen didn't say it for the time being. It wasn't dark yet, and he should still be on his way; The duel between Xiahou and Yan Chixia was at night, and it seemed to make sense to not be there at this time. But where did Yan Chixia go?
Lanruo Temple has been in seclusion for several months, Yan Chixia should not leave here, but there is no one in the temple.
"I saw a few dried corpses, and they were disgusting." Tomoko floated out of Lanruo Temple. His face was full of disgust.
"Only dried corpses? Is there a breath of life here? Zuo Xiaoyou asked.
"Nothing." Tomoko shook her head, "But it's a very annoying feeling." ”
"Would you hate yin?" Left and right are terrifying, Zhizi can absorb the negative energy of the world, and the ghosts in Lanruo Temple are full of ghosts, so it stands to reason that they can be completely absorbed by Zhizi, but Zhizi said that he hates this kind of breath?
"I can't tell." Tomoko herself is strange: "I just feel that there is an indescribable feeling in the breath, and this feeling makes me annoying." ”
Zuo Xiaoright's face was solemn, it seemed that this task was really not so easy to complete.
As the sky gets darker and darker. Zuo Xiaoyou's face is also becoming more and more solemn.
Yin...... Where exactly have you been?
There are oil lamps in Lanruo Temple, and I lit an oil lamp on the left and right, and I read a book in an empty room, and the name of the book is "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai".
"Ning Caichen, a native of Zhejiang. Generous and cool, inexpensive and self-respecting. Each pair said: "There is no difference in life." "It is suitable to go to Jinhua, to Beiguo, and undress Lanruo. The temple nave tower is magnificent; However, there is no one in Basil. Seems to be out of sight. ”
The story of Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian in Liaozhai is quite different from the content of this movie world. In the novel, Ning Caichen is a man with a wife. And in the end, he walked with Nie Xiaoqian, and gave birth to two sons, and later Ning Caichen was admitted to the Jinshi and accepted a concubine, and this concubine also gave birth to a son for him, and later Ning Caichen's three sons became officials. The official reputation is not bad.
Just reading the novel, although Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian's previous relationship was good, it was not so poignant and moving, and the relationship between the two was quite complicated.
When the two first met, Ning Caichen was a married man. Nie Xiaoqian stepped in as a junior. Later, his wife died, and Xiao San successfully ascended to the throne, but later another Xiao San intervened in Nie Xiaoqian, the original Xiao San......
The private lives of the ancients were really happy......
After reading the description of the story on Liaozhai, Zuo Xiaoyou closed the book and couldn't stand it.
Let's talk about fasting, don't spoil the beautiful ghost love in my mind!
I changed to a copy of "Cooking Encyclopedia", well, it feels much better to take revenge on society at night.
Just when Zuo Xiaoyou was studying the recipe with great interest, he saw a gust of wind blowing and blowing open the door, but this gust of wind blew through the oil lamp, but the oil lamp did not seem to be extinguished at all, and it was still burning firmly.
Zuo Xiaoyou raised his head, and saw a tall woman in white clothes and black hair dancing in the room, her eyes were like crying and complaining, as if telling the man in front of him, why should she live up to this beautiful night?
Nie Xiaoqian?
The color of the left and right sides has changed dramatically.
What the hell is going on? Why did Nie Xiaoqian appear at this time? What about Yan Chixia? What about Xiahou? What about Ning Caichen?
Also, what's going on with Nie Xiaoqian's youthful appearance? Aren't you supposed to be murderous and used to it!
A white silk fell on Zuo Xiaoyou's body, Zuo Xiaoyou pinched Bai Aya, this white silk exudes a faint fragrance, which should be Nie Xiaoqian's body fragrance, stimulating Zuo Xiaoyou's interest.
On the other side, Nie Xiaoqian slowly pulled Bai Aya and pulled Zuo Xiaoyou in her direction.
If Nie Xiaoqian looked at him with a bit of coldness, resentment and soft eyes at this time, he might really be pulled over. But Nie Xiaoqian's eyes were slightly hollow, like inflatable dolls, but they ruined his only interest.
He let go of Bai Aya casually, and pointed to the empty stool beside him: "Sit." (To be continued......)
