Chapter 147: The Rogue Gang Wanders the Begging Army
With Nie Xiaoqian's permission, Ning Wentian untied a small verdant gourd from his waist.
The ghost thief in the north who was trapped in the sword formation saw the little gourd, and suddenly went crazy, desperately trying to rush out.
The lid of the little gourd was opened by Ning Wentian and then tossed and fled, flew out, spun and flew into the sword array.
The ghost thief in the north was even more anxious, like an ant on a hot pot.
Ning asked the heavenly hand to pinch the method, and there were words in his mouth, and he said one word: "Receive!" ”
The ghost thief in the north was in exclamation, and was involuntarily sucked into the small gourd.
The gourd covered the lid, pasted a talisman, and put away the sword array, Ning Wentian looked back and saw that Nie Xiaoqian was a little puzzled, so he explained: "This is a green wood pot, which can temporarily trap the ghost thieves in the north." But if there is no blessing and weakening of the sword array, the green wood pot alone will not be able to collect the ghost thieves in the north. ”
"What is the origin of this ghost thief in the north?"
"Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in Beibei, has the girl heard such an old saying?"
"It is rumored that Beibi Mountain is a rare feng shui treasure in the world, and a poet in the Tang Dynasty said that there is little idle land on the Beibi Mountain, and it is full of old tombs of Luoyang people."
"Well, exactly. The ghost thief in the north is an old ghost from the north mountain, and it is rumored that he has stolen all the tombs in the north to have a ghost thief. However, he robbed too many tombs, committed public anger, attracted people from all walks of life, and hid. Ning Wentian also inquired in many ways, only to know that he fled here in order to avoid pursuit. ”
"I see."
Nie Xiaoqian asked, Ning asked the sky to answer, and between the questions and answers, it made Nie Xiaoqian know a lot of old secrets.
And as the two of them talked, they went to the ghost coffin.
It turned out that the coffin of the copper essence was indeed suppressing a fierce living dead, and it was Ning Wentian's daughter.
In order to save his daughter, he once stole Chunyang. Rummaging through the secret books in the Pure Yang Dao Pavilion, I learned from an ancient book that there is a coffin called "Ghost Coffin" in the world, which can live the flesh and bones of the dead, and even shuttle between the two worlds of Yin and Yang.
Since it can live the flesh and bones of the dead, then turn the living dead into real living people. It should also be possible.
However, there was no record in that ancient book where the ghost coffin was hidden, so he sneaked into the Wuliang Temple, which was as famous as the Pure Yang Sect, and after many investigations, he finally found the clues of the ghost coffin.
"Tiger Roaring Valley?"
"The last place referred to in that incomplete treasure map is Tiger Roaring Valley, but Tiger Roaring Valley is more than ten miles in radius, and trying to find the ghost coffin from it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack." Ning Wentian sighed, his face full of sadness.
He infiltrated the immeasurable pure yang and offended many masters of the two factions. In the past few years, he has been living in exile every day, and he has to suppress his daughter in the coffin from time to time.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been forced to be embarrassed by the civil and military judges of the Northern Ghost Thief Seat.
Nie Xiaoqian's heart moved. No wonder Ning Wentian was seen entering the valley that day, and it turned out that the ghost coffin was hidden in the valley. However, Tiger Roaring Valley is indeed deep and mysterious. There are all sorts of extraordinary.
When she thought of Tiger Roaring Valley, she thought of the thatched hut and the Five Elements Jade Jane.
So far, what she can use is the wooden jade slip, and the "Yimu Jue" is indeed wonderful.
After some emotion, she thought of the deep pool of the waterfall from the ghost coffin. Even the big sword under the deep pool and the seal engraved with various patterns, a coffin the size of a house.
That coffin, it can't be so coincidental, it's a ghost coffin, right?
When Nie Xiaoqian was speculating in her heart, she touched it. The coffin of the copper essence suddenly sounded, and the living dead inside, the daughter of Ning Wentian, seemed to be unable to suppress it, and broke out of the coffin.
Ning Wentian hurriedly stepped forward, drew his knife and cut the index finger of his left hand again, and drew a spell on the coffin of the copper essence.
After a spell was drawn, he pressed his right hand on the coffin, and the power was suppressed, perhaps it was too much consumption, and his head was misty.
After a long while, the movement in the coffin of the copper essence fell silent, and Ning Wentian let go of his hand tiredly.
Nie Xiaoqian thought that he was going to take a break, but Ning Wentian grabbed the green wood pot and said in a hoarse voice: "Beibei ghost thief, you listened to what I said to Miss Nie." Ning asked you, where is the ghost coffin hidden in Tiger Roaring Valley? ”
The green wood pot did not move, Ning Wentian grabbed the gourd's hand, the green tendons bulged, and his eyes were red, and he was about to spew fire.
"Northern ghost thieves, it's useless to pretend to be dead. I don't need a pure yang demon refining pot, just wait for the sun to come out and open the lid of the green wood pot, and you will turn into green smoke and your soul will be scattered. If you don't want to wander away, tell me what you know. ”
"Ning Wentian, do you think the old man looks like a pig?"
"Say it, help me find the ghost coffin, maybe you can survive. Needless to say, you have less than three hours left. ”
Ning Wentian threatened, but there was still no movement in the green wood pot.
After another half an hour, a voice came from the green wood pot: "Go to Lanruo Temple." ”
"The remnant picture in the immeasurable treasure book of Wuliang Temple refers to the ghost coffin in the Tiger Roaring Valley, what are you going to do in Lanruo Temple?"
"Do you think the old man came to a poor country like Qiandeng County just to steal the little gold and silver treasures of those fart people? Stealing gold and silver treasures is just an old man's hobby. Hehe, looking at the miserable appearance of those who were stolen and grabbing the sky, as if the root of his life had been stolen, the old man couldn't help but steal some more. ”
Ning Wentian disdained the deformed quirks of the ghost thief in the north, but he heard something from his words, and continued to ask, "You are also here for the ghost coffin?" ”
"Ghost coffins, the flesh and bones of the living dead, shuttling between the two worlds of yin and yang, who doesn't want to see with their own eyes, what a magical magic weapon it is. What's more, since the old man is a ghost thief, if he doesn't steal such a magic weapon, wouldn't it be difficult to live up to his reputation? ”
"What does Lanruo Temple have to do with the ghost coffin?"
"It is rumored that the ghost coffin is extremely dangerous, and there is something hidden in the Lanruo Temple, called the Moon Ice Wheel. With this round, a passage to the ghost coffin can be opened. ”
"Moon Ice Wheel?" Ning Wentian had never heard of what the Moon Ice Wheel was, but the ghost thief in the north said it very well, he was suspicious, thought about it, and said to Nie Xiaoqian: "Maybe it is troublesome for Miss Nie to go to Lanruo Temple with Ning?" ”
Nie Xiaoqian's willow eyebrows furrowed, and she groaned slightly. said: "Ning Gongzi may not know that there are countless wandering spirits and wild ghosts in Nalan Ruo Temple, and there are thousands of years old demons, which is a well-known murderous place. ”
She didn't know that after she escaped from Lanruo Temple, the old witch had a big battle with the pure yang real person Qi. was killed and lost his armor, and finally escaped with his life, and under the great injury of his vitality, he was already hiding.
"Wandering ghosts, thousand-year-old demons?" Ning Wentian glanced at Nie Xiaoqian in surprise.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect this little girl to be clear about the danger of Lanruo Temple." In the green wood pot, the ghost thief in the north laughed and said, "How is it, Ning Wentian." Do you have the courage to go to Lanruo Temple to get the moon ice wheel? ”
"Lanruo Temple is naturally going to go." Ning Wentian nodded and replied without hesitation.
No matter how fierce and dangerous Lanruo Temple is, it is just a death. In the past few years, he has died nine times in his life, and he has long put life and death out of the way. Moreover, he thinks that he has the Beidou Tiangang Sword Formation to protect himself, and he is not afraid of any evil demons and monsters.
It's just that if that's the case, then it's not good to trouble Miss Nie to go with her, Ning Wentian's mind turned sharply, and he said, "Since Lanruo Temple is dangerous. Then you can only trouble Miss Nie to wait here for a day, and wait for Ning to get the Moon Ice Wheel. I'll meet you again. ”
Do you want to go to Lanruo Temple?
Nie Xiaoqian actually wanted to go back to Lanruo Temple for a long time in her heart to see what happened after she left.
But every time I think of Lanruo Temple, the old witch and the soul refining whip in her hand pop up, like a man's back.
It can be seen that once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and there was still a trace of crookedness.
So I heard the ghost thieves in the north talk about Lanruo Temple. She subconsciously wanted to escape.
In fact, she is no longer a weak female ghost who can only write novels in the past, only knows a "Taiyin Refining Method", and is unarmed.
Now she can manifest in the daytime, ordinary evil things can't affect her, and she has a lot of savings and beliefs. Realize the thought of the heart sword, as well as the five elements of jade slips, and understand the "Yimu Jue......
The body of the old witch is a thousand-year-old locust tree, and "Yimu Jue" can extract the vitality of plants and trees.
Thinking of this, Nie Xiaoqian made up her mind, feeling that she was facing the old witch now, even if she couldn't beat it, she should still be able to do it.
After figuring it out, she said, "Young Master Ning, there's no need, Nie Xiaoqian will go to Lanruo Temple with you." ”
Two fists are invincible to four hands, she is worried that Ning Wentian alone will not be able to deal with the many demons and ghosts in Lanruo Temple, if the ghost thieves in the north are rescued by those demons and ghosts, it will be really endless troubles.
Ning Wentian is not the kind of mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and when he saw that Nie Xiaoqian said firmly, he agreed.
The matter was agreed, and it was decided to leave for Lanruo Temple early tomorrow morning.
Nie Xiaoqian waved her sleeves, cleaned up the broken debris in the temple, and walked to Wang Lin's side.
It's just that mourning is greater than dying, Wang Lin, who had just shown great might, completely withered at this time, like a beggar on the street, lying in the corner, with his eyes half-open blankly.
From the battle with the Flying Yaksha, Nie Xiaoqian could see that Wang Lin was not completely dead, otherwise he would not have risen up when he saw that he was in danger, and fought for his life against the Flying Yaksha regardless of his own safety.
But the bell must be tied to the bell, Wang Lin's heart disease, what he needs is the right heart medicine.
She didn't know where Wang Lin's heart knot was, and she couldn't solve it.
So there was nothing to say all night, and the twilight came.
Nie Xiaoqian, Wang Lin and Ning Wentian, who was carrying the coffin of the copper essence, left the City God Temple with the northern ghost thief in the green wood pot.
Wang Lin didn't want to go, it seemed that he was going to live half-dead and get by, but how could Nie Xiaoqian let him fall like this, and said it sharply, Wang Lin finally couldn't resist her, and was pulled on the road together.
From Qiandeng County to Lanruo Temple, Nie Xiaoqian and the others took a shortcut to the mountain road in the direction of Daoxiang Village.
But when she took the two of them to pass by Daoxiang Village, she found that the entire village of Daoxiang Village was empty, and there was no trace of chickens, ducks, cows and dogs, which looked like a deserted village that had been abandoned for many years.
It wasn't until he passed through Shuijingfang, where a room was specially built to protect the well, and a few young people from Daoxiang Village came out of it, that Nie Xiaoqian knew that there was a group of rogues more than ten miles away, known as the Beggar Army, crisscrossing Zhou County, and was flowing towards Qiandeng County.
Where the begging army passed, the chickens and dogs were not left, and the bones were exposed.
The villagers of Daoxiang Village are afraid of being robbed by the beggar army, and even if they are not robbed, once they are coerced, they are still thieves and wanted by the government. Therefore, every family packed up all their belongings early this morning and fled one after another, either into the mountains or to the Gu Niang Temple, not daring to stay in the village.
Those young men are the last guards left in Daoxiang Village, mainly guarding the wells. But if the beggar army enters Qiandeng County, they will also have to flee.
A few days ago, there were still groups of bandits, but now there are more bandits who can't be stopped by the people, and they dare to call the army, and the situation is getting more and more chaotic at this time. Nie Xiaoqian thought in her heart.
"Miss Nie, Aunt Liang and Ping'an should have arrived at the temple at this time, if you are looking for them, you might as well go up the mountain."
"Thank you for the big brothers, take care."
Nie Xiaoqian and Wang Lin walked out of Daoxiang Village and walked in the direction of Gu Niang Temple on the mountain.
Ning Wentian saw that she was worried about the safety of the villagers, so she said that she was not in a hurry to take the moon ice wheel, and it was okay to delay it for a few days.
So Nie Xiaoqian and the two hurried back to Gu Niang Temple.
"Sister, you're back."
As soon as he returned to the temple, Chen Yuci and Ping'an, who had been looking forward to Nie Xiaoqian, rushed out of the crowd.
Regarding the arrival of Wang Lin and Ning Wentian, the people in the temple were not so welcome.
Gu Niang Temple is so big, one more person will squeeze a point, the current Gu Niang Temple is overcrowded, there are so many people that they can't stand, and they have to disperse outside.
What's more, Ning Wentian also carried a very unlucky, very weird coffin.
It can be said that wherever he goes, he cleaves the waves, and consciously separates a way, until he follows Nie Xiaoqian into the backyard.
Facing everyone's incomprehensible, curious, and frightened eyes, Ning Wentian's face sank like water, his expression was as usual, and he was as calm as a mountain. When he arrived in the backyard, the space was spacious, and he didn't put down the coffin of the copper essence, even though the coffin of the copper essence pressed heavily on his back, making him very painful.
Seeing that Ping'an, Liang's and Ah Huang, who ruminated leisurely, were all very good, Nie Xiaoqian did not let go of his heart.
The beggar army wandered through the major states and counties, plundered everywhere, and caused disaster in all directions, but the action of the imperial court was extremely slow, and the suppression of the official army has not been heard of so far.
Although Gu Niang Temple is halfway up the mountain, it is very remote, but it is not a place of peace. The beggar army is flowing to Qiandeng County, and it may not be that they will not run to the top of the Gu Niang Temple.
If the misfortune comes up, what should I do, Nie Xiaoqian thought about it carefully.
Since the rogues dare to call the army, it must be thousands, but she does not have the means to ride a thousand, she has more than enough self-protection, and there are not enough protectors, and there are hundreds of homeless people in the temple, and they are afraid that there will be countless deaths and injuries.
It is impossible to leave them.
Nie Xiaoqian thought about it and didn't come up with a way, so she could only take it one step at a time and do her best.
(The next day.) (To be continued.) )
