Chapter 156: After the Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow

The gang in front of him, all with roe deer heads and rat eyes, with murderous eyebrows and fierce eyes, and all of them brought weapons, no matter how they looked, they didn't look like good people.

Not good, could it be a bandit? The moon is dark and the night of killing, the wind is high and the day is on fire, run!

Ning Caichen, who was holding a lantern, thought of this, his heart tightened, and he couldn't help but retreat.

In order to help Jibaozhai collect his debts, he climbed mountains and waded all the way from Qinghua County to this Guobei County, and suffered a lot, but because he was lucky not to meet the thieves, it was barely smooth. I never expected to hide in the inaccessible deep mountains and old forests, but instead I encountered bandits.

The bandits robbed the road, but I had nothing to lose, and it seemed that there was nothing worth robbing, so I didn't have to run.

No, I still have some belongings. Those books and poems, the thieves are usually illiterate, and they can't read them if they rob them, but they don't know that they will not use them in the place of grain reincarnation. Alas, insulting Sven.

And it's not just the book, my thin quilt and this long gown on my body are the necessary things to protect my body from the cold and survive the winter, if I am robbed, it will not only be insulting, I am afraid that I will be frozen to death before I starve to death.

By the way, and Miss Nie, I have to hurry up and inform that a thief has broken into the temple.

The thoughts in Ning Caichen's mind turned sharply, and when he saw the thief drawing his sword and raising his sword, he was about to move, and he had the tendency to surround him, so he turned around and ran away with a scream.

The gopher gate people didn't expect that in the middle of the night, it was not a strong man who came out of the forest, but a scholar with clear eyebrows.

Seeing that the scholar saw them turn around and run, the gopher gate man immediately chased after them, and shouted while chasing, "Don't run." ”

The thieves were chasing after him, and Ning Caichen, who was panicking in front, responded without thinking: "Don't chase!" ”

In recent years, the drought has continued, and everyone is short of food and clothing, and in some places it is even so miserable that they can eat their children. With the ferocity of a bandit. If you are caught, you may not be chopped and marinated into bacon as rations.

Thinking that it might be eaten, Ning Caichen's sore and weak legs and feet suddenly gained a little more strength and ran faster.

"Fortunately, on weekdays, I walked around after studying, and walked all over the land within a radius of several miles. Otherwise, you might get caught. Leaning against a towering tree, Ning Caichen, who was out of breath and panting, said in his heart.

He had just become familiar with the ground, and although his legs and feet were not as good as those of the gopher gate, he still turned left and right and avoided the pursuit.

"The ancients said, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, and honestly do not deceive me. But Miss Nie, where did they go, why didn't they see anyone everywhere? ”

Ning Caichen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He lifted his crooked turban, made his way, and disappeared into the darkness again.

The gopher gate man chased him for half an hour, and he didn't catch it and returned empty-handed.

The fifth brother shouted angrily: "Third brother, that scholar, his grandmother's, was run away by him." ”

The third brother waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Just a scholar." There is no power to tie the chicken, and if you run away, you will run away. It can't get in the way of our big things. ”

Listening to my brother say this, isn't he even as good as a scholar who has no power to tie his hands when he chases himself?

The fifth brother couldn't get over it: "Third brother, that scholar runs faster than a rabbit, I think he has the power of a chicken." ”

The third brother glared at the fifth brother: "He is the power of a chicken, what about you." How many chickens are you? ”

"Of course I have more than the power of one chicken, the power of a hundred chickens, what do you think, third brother?"

"Don't be poor here, go back and drink a bowl of hot soup and rest, and get up tomorrow to work." There's a place for you to use your strength. ”

The forest was dark, and they were not familiar with each other, so the third brother asked the brothers below to withdraw to the temple and gave up the pursuit of Ning Caichen.

The cold wind is howling and the snow is fluttering.

Nie Xiaoqian floated like a leaf, floating in the air, and saw a group of people inside through the latticework without window paper, shouting and drinking, making a huge hall into a miasma, and was frowning, three people came out of a broken wall behind him.

It was Wang Lin, Ning Wentian and Ning Caichen.

Wang Lin and Ning Wentian had actually found Nie Xiaoqian when the gopher gate people entered Lanruo Temple, but Nie Xiaoqian took a step first, while Ning Caichen accidentally met Wang Lin and Ning Wentian on the way to find Nie Xiaoqian.

Ning Caichen was very happy to see Nie Xiaoqian again, and when he was about to shout, he remembered that there was still a group of thieves living in it, so he hurriedly lowered his voice: "Miss Nie." ”

Nie Xiaoqian nodded, and then asked, "Ning Gongzi, do you know who those people are?" ”

Ning Caichen replied with palpitations: "Those people show their knives when they see me, they are not bandits, and I am afraid that they will not be much better." ”

After he finished guessing, another Ning Gongzi said: "Looking at their clothes, they should be the rooster and dog thief of the gopher gate." ”

"Gopher Gate?" Nie Xiaoqian is not from the rivers and lakes, and it is the first time she has heard of the Gopher Gate.

"The gopher men are said to be good at digging holes and robbing tombs, and most of the disciples are inferior and despised by the famous and decent families." Wang Lin explained that although he is not as knowledgeable as Ning Wentian, who has traveled all over the world, he still has a certain understanding of all the sects in the rivers and lakes, "These people have never had treasures, and since they have arrived at Lanruo Temple, they think that Lanruo Temple has some treasures, which has aroused their prying eyes." ”

"What treasures can be hidden in Lanruo Temple?" Ning Caichen wondered.

He has walked through every corner of Lanruo Temple, if there is really a treasure, he can still not know.

However, Nie Xiaoqian's heart moved, and she said three words: "Moon Ice Wheel? ”

When it comes to being familiar with Lanruo Temple, she is naturally far better than Ning Caichen. The treasure that could be hidden in Lanruo Temple, after thinking about it for a while, the only thing she could think of was the moon ice wheel mentioned by the ghost thief.

Ning Wentian thought that Nie Xiaoqian was right, so he patted the green wood pot and said, "Ghost thief, what do you think?" ”

The ghost thief in the pot sneered: "Hehe, a small sect that is inferior to the three abuses, dares to fight the idea of the Moon Ice Wheel, it is really greedy and not enough to swallow the elephant, and I don't know whether to live or die." ”

Can the gourd still talk?

Ning Caichen on the side was very surprised when he saw that the gourd on Ning Wentian's waist was patted and spoke, and what kind of moon ice wheel made him even more confused. I wanted to ask for an understanding, but seeing Nie Xiaoqian's serious expression, Ning Wentian looked indifferent, and Wang Lin couldn't see his face, so he thought in his heart and didn't ask.

Nie Xiaoqian didn't speak, and the ghost thief in the pot smiled again: "Don't you know where the Moon Ice Wheel is hidden, I see that this group of chickens and dog thieves know a lot, you might as well watch first, and when they find it, it will not be too late to come back with a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finch." ”

"I'm afraid there's a hunter behind the yellow finch."

The ghost thief is treacherous and cunning, and this time he took the initiative to give advice to Nie Xiaoqian and them, Ning Wentian was worried that it was a traitor or a thief.

"People are swords, I am fish and meat, I am a ghost thief trapped in the green wood pot, that is, the fish and meat on your chopping board, let you slaughter, what are you afraid of, are you still afraid that I will finally get out of trouble and take your moon ice wheel? Ning Wentian, you are too unconfident in the first-class magic weapon of the Pure Yang Palace, the green wood pot. (To be continued.) )
