Chapter 167: Lanruo Temple

The swarthy and sturdy blacksmith sweated like rain and pounded the slightly rudimentary weapon, dipping it into the bucket, and suddenly the hot and red iron tool suddenly solidified, steaming a large area of white water vapor, and the invisible heat wave forced the passers-by at the door of the shop to retreat.

Ye Ye departed part of his mind to pay attention to the road surface where the sewage flowed under his feet, while thinking and recalling the plot. In his memory, there are two details in this town around Lanruo Temple that are worthy of his attention, one of which is the owner who sells coffins, paper figures, yellow charms and other funeral utensils, the charms he sells seem to have a little deterrent effect on ghosts, but it is better than nothing, Ye Ye is too lazy to pay attention to it; As for the other detail, it was the art stall he was going to now.

With a sweep of his eyes, dozens of scroll paintings were spread out under a shed, with landscapes, flowers, birds, and animals, all of which were very conspicuous, Ye Ye slowly walked to the front of the stall, and saw a picture hanging in front of it at first glance. On the picture, a beautiful woman is stretching out her slender hand to wash her black hair like a waterfall, her eyes are flowing, and she has both form and spirit, just like a real person.

This painting is still there, but fortunately, it seems that I didn't miss the plot.

Ye Ye's heart was relieved, he was really afraid that when he hurried to arrive at this time, he found that the song had ended, and the people went to the empty building, which would be a bit sad. This painting was painted by Nie Xiaoqian's father, and later the whole family was killed by a traitor halfway, this painting is estimated to have been sold several times and fell to this painting stall for sale, according to the plot of the movie, it should be in the second year of the Obon Festival, that is, the Halloween was retrieved by Nie Xiaoqian, who could only leave Lanruo Temple at that time, and later became the object of Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian's affection.

Now that the painting is still there, it is natural that this plot has not happened yet.

"The guest officer has good eyesight, you look at this beautiful picture, this figure, this ink, lifelike, you will definitely not suffer if you buy it." The owner of the painting stall had a mustache, a dog skin plaster on his forehead, and a slippery appearance, when he saw Ye Ye's gaze on this picture, his original drowsy expression flew away. He was very optimistic about this beauty shampoo picture, so he specially hung it in the most conspicuous position, but who expected that there would be no one to ask the price for a few months, which made him disappointed, and now he finally saw the hope of selling, and immediately became energetic.

"I want this picture." Ye Ye didn't ask the price, he casually threw out a piece of silver and smashed it into the boss's arms, and ordered, "Wrap it up." ”

Although Ye Ye's target is Yan Chixia and the old demon of Montenegro, he doesn't have any ideas about Nie Xiaoqian, but this painting is also a small side prop, whether it is useful or not, he will put it away first, and he is not short of this money.

What the? Do you think this will destroy the emotional development route between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian?

Ye Ye said that I would let him die.

"Wait a minute." The owner of the painting stall slightly checked the weight of the silver in his hand, and suddenly his face bloomed with joy: "Otherwise, you can look at other paintings, I still have a lot of good things here." ”

"Excuse me." Ye Ye waved his hand: "By the way, how long is it until the Bon Festival?" ”

The owner of the stall paused for a moment, then smiled flatteringly: "Guest, you are laughing, it is only early March, and there are still four or five months before the Obon Festival." ”

Ye Ye sighed lightly and stood in place and pondered. The boss saw that Ye Ye was really not interested in the other paintings on the stall, and with some regret, he wrapped up this beauty shampoo picture and handed it to Ye Ye: "The guests are leaving, come and patronize more!" ”

After taking the painting, Ye Ye turned around and wanted to leave, but saw a shop not far away with dummies, paper money, yellow paper and other things, and it turned out that the funeral shop was dozens of steps away from this stall. After a little thought, Ye Ye stepped forward, although he was too lazy to look for it, but since it was right now, he might as well buy some rune paper, so in the laughter of the boss who had a mole at the corner of his mouth, he didn't care whether it was effective or not, and then threw out a piece of silver to sweep away all the ghostly rune papers in the store.

Walking out of the town and walking a few miles to the east, Ye Ye came to the edge of the woods on the outskirts of Lanruo Temple, at first glance this forest was very ordinary, but Ye Ye, who had a fixed opinion, found a lot of abnormalities after carefully observing for a while.

Perhaps because of the presence of the ancestor of the tree demon grandmother, the trees in this forest grow extremely luxuriantly, and the branches and leaves cover the sky and the sun and are connected together, obviously when the sun is in full bloom, the forest is extremely dark, as if ninety percent of the sunlight that spills in are eliminated and absorbed by the branches and leaves on the head. Although the forest is flourishing, these trees make people feel their vitality, curled and misshapen branches, thick green leaves, crooked bark, clumps of roots bulging out of the ground, all give people a strange antipathy, especially when a gust of wind blows in the ghostly silence of the forest, the swaying branches and rattling leaves seem as if these trees are consciously whispering, staring at the visitor with invisible eyes, and the whole forest is filled with a malice that is about to overflow.

"Well, it seems that the evaluation of that dryad has to be improved, if you lose to the old demon of Montenegro, it will be fine, in case the boat capsizes in the gutter and hangs in the hands of this dryad, it will be boring."

Ye Ye groaned in his heart, and walked into the forest, as soon as he stepped into it, he felt that it was dark in front of him, and the whole sky was darkened, as if he was completely different from the sunshine sky a few steps away. Continuing to go deeper, Ye Ye looked around the situation in the forest, and found that it was too clean, there were no traces of insects and ants on either the soil or the trunks of the trees, and there was not even a single insect eye on the leaves as far as the eye could see.

"Hmph, it won't take a few hundred years if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that there will be not just one dryad here, but a large number of them."

At this moment, there was a sound in the depths of the forest, and several figures of shadows were crawling among the trees, and several pairs of green eyes lit up in the shadows, and at some point a small group of wild wolves embellished this prey that dared to enter this wood.

"Cyberas, won't you say hello to your kind?" Ye Ye smiled and teased the pet lying on his shoulder, in exchange for a disdainful roar in his mind.

The little black dog comfortably absorbs the air in the forest, compared to the place where there is plenty of yang outside, this eerie environment makes this little guy from the underworld very comfortable, as for the master's ridicule, it completely scoffs, Cerberus and mortal dogs can't fight at all, not to mention these wolves. Cerberas opened his little eyes and glared, and the wolves slipped away with their tails between their legs.

Although the atmosphere is treacherous, this forest is not big, Ye Ye soon walked out of the woods and saw an abandoned temple with a dilapidated appearance but almost intact.

The stone tablet on the ground is engraved with the big characters of "Lanruo Temple" three silver hook iron paintings, although the stone tablet itself has been stained by wind and frost, but the three words engraved by Dan lacquer are bright and dripping, there is no sign of fading in half a minute, as if absorbing enough human blood, and the carved image of the stone tablet below has broken off its head, leaving only half of its body hidden in the weeds that are higher than people's knees.

Even if it was daytime, Ye Ye could feel the yin qi in this land that was so thick that it was about to drip water, like a hovering cloud in the sky that shrouded this famous Lanruo Temple, several old eagles were startled by his arrival, and after staring at him with blood-red eyes for a while, they flapped their wings and flew away in a hoarse cry like a broken casserole.

"Hey, it's really a veritable hellish place, even if there is no ghost asking for his life, ordinary people will have to invade the body and let go of Huangquan if they live in this kind of place for a long time."

Stepping on the scorched yellow leaves that had been paved with a thick layer on the ground, Ye Ye stepped up the stone steps step by step and entered the temple gate.

Although it has been abandoned for decades, the general building of this Lanruo Temple is still strong in the swirling green vines and pothos, only a small part of the wall has collapsed and notched, Ye Ye stretched out his hand and pressed on the pillar in front of the hall, and there was a cold sound from his fingertips, and there was no sign of decay. Immersed in this rich yin qi evil atmosphere for many years, part of the material of Lanruo Temple has been alienated and is as solid as iron stone, so even if it is abandoned for more than a hundred years, this temple will not collapse, and it can still become a trap for the tree demon to lure people into the urn.

Walking into the temple, to Ye Ye's surprise, there was no one inside, and Yan Chixia, who was supposed to have lived in the temple for a long time, was nowhere to be found. However, after a general walk around the temple, Ye Ye found that there were signs of living people living in the small courtyard on the south side of the temple, and there were also a few pieces of luggage scattered, presumably Yan Chixia's room, it seemed that people were temporarily out.

After thinking about it, Ye Ye chose a quiet wing room on the west side of the temple that was quite far away from Yan Chixia's room to move in, after all, if the place where he lived was too close to Yan Chixia, it was likely that those female ghosts would not dare to come over in the middle of the night, so wouldn't it be a pity to miss some good things that he liked to see?

Pushing open the tattered door, Ye Ye frowned and looked at this room that had been uninhabited for a long time, and found that there was a thick layer of dust piled up on the wooden board, and the corners were also covered with new or old cobwebs, and there was a smell of rotting and dampness wafting throughout the room, which was unpleasant. The only good thing was that there were probably no small things like rats and cockroaches, because Ye Ye had already seen a few hissing green snakes entrenched in the shadows, lazily motionless.

"This kind of environment, tsk."

Ye Ye sighed helplessly, he was now more and more envious of those guys in the law system, in this case, it was probably only a dust spell that could clean the room, or some martial artists whose internal strength had reached a certain level, a few feminine palms could also sweep away the dust in the room along with the uninvited guests. And although Ye Ye's strength is fierce and fierce, it is okay to use it to demolish the house, and it is completely professional and wrong to use it to clean the room.

Deeply absorbed, Ye Ye inhaled a large amount of air around him, and then spit it out suddenly, forming a strong airflow that raised the dust in front of him high, flying and scattering in all directions, and when the dust settled, he finally cleaned up a large piece of clean place.

"I can only do it for a while, hey."

Shaking his head with a bitter face, Ye Ye suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I almost forgot this, if you want to sleep peacefully at night, you have to deal with it." ”

As he spoke, he took two steps forward and pressed his hand against the wall, and a word came out of his mouth.

"The Golden Sun Ripples Away!"
