Chapter 484: Lanruo Temple [Add 54 for Justbieber]
Ning Caichen's persuasion was fruitless, and Chen Jienan followed him to Lanruo Temple to rest.
Since coming out of the city gate, Chen Jienan felt some strange aura, and wandered around Guobei County as if he was off the ground.
If these breaths are ordinary people passing by, at most they will feel a chill at the back of their necks, and they may think that the wind is stronger at the intersection, so they don't care.
But for Chen Jienan, who has a keen five senses to the extreme, these breaths are simply naked and speechless six-colored yarns, intertwined and entangled, and competing with each other, you come and go. Therefore, there were bursts of whirlpool air currents in the sky over Guobei County, bringing gusts of yin wind.
These breaths come from the ghosts and spirits who peep at Guobei County, especially when night is approaching, they are ready to move, trying to come out and hurt people.
"Did you see any strange phenomena when you came to Guobei County today?"
Chen Jienan asked Ning Caichen.
"Strange phenomenon?"
Ning Caichen scratched his head, he felt that everything was strange, but he couldn't say how strange it was.
"It's not the same situation as your family. ”
Sure enough, I can't expect this stupid scholar to understand what he means.
"Oh, yes, a lot!"
Ning Caichen was mentioned like this, and immediately reacted.
"Although it is located inland in the plains, there are often strange strong winds blowing, and whenever a storm hits, the county is always in shambles. I went out this time to ask my husband to measure the weather, and I got better. Otherwise, there are many cases of people who come here on weekdays. ”
Chen Jienan knew that this was not a storm, but a demon.
"Anything else?"
"And there's more. Ning Caichen responded, "There is a strange rule in Guobei County. ”
"What rules?"
"Don't open a night market!" Ning Caichen whispered to Chen Jienan, "They said that there are monsters here who specialize in catching people to eat at night, and many people have disappeared." But I think it's only when it's blown away by the wind that there is such a saying. Speaking of which, we still have to take advantage of the fact that it is not dark and hurry to Lanruo Temple, otherwise we will be blown away by this strange wind, and we will not be able to find anyone to save us!"
It's really not a strange wind, maybe there are monsters that catch people at night.
Chen Jienan thought secretly.
"If it's weird, it's weird about the inhabitants here. Ning Caichen thought of another one and added.
"Oh, inhabitants, what's so strange?"
"The inhabitants here are too vicious! They don't know anything about etiquette and don't understand education! They don't even care about the county magistrate, and they indulge in worshipping monks every day. Ning Caichen angrily reprimanded, "I came to collect debts today, but those barbarians refused to recognize the IOUs in black and white, and directly threw me out!"
It's good that I threw you out, Chen Jienan complained in his heart.
If you stay, you won't survive tonight, and it's impossible to say how many people and how many demons are in this county.
"Benefactor, do you have any sense! Isn't this county town strange?"
Ning Caichen was still chattering on his own, but Chen Jienan had already roughly figured out the details of this Guobei County, and he didn't want to talk more, he pointed not far ahead, and prompted.
"Lanruo Temple has arrived. ”
At this time, the sky was dark, and there was no pedestrian to be seen on the road, and from time to time the wind stirred the half-man-high weeds, making a rustling sound, and the barren Lanruo Temple was located in this wilderness.
In the past, people often built a small house in the wild for passers-by to rest their feet, even in the barren mountains, there are often hunters' huts, and the huts will store some free emergency supplies and food, and the nomadic villagers who often live around here will supplement it with food and grass from time to time, so the surrounding area is not too desolate.
And the Lanruo Temple in front of you is different.
First of all, Lanruo Temple occupies a huge area, not an ordinary small temple, and the courtyard is deep at a glance, like a well-designed residence.
Secondly, this Lanruo Temple is said to be desolate, and there are no serious signs of falling off the roof tiles, saying that it is not desolate and often maintained, but the half-human tall wild grass that encloses the entire temple has not been taken care of for at least half a year.
Chen Jienan glanced inadvertently at the corner of his eyes, the top of the half-human-tall weed had marks cut by a sharp blade, and the scars on it were still very new and not completely dry, at least they had been cut off today.
But who has nothing to do to sharpen the tip of the grass?
"Ah...... I just heard that there is a Lanruo Temple outside the city, and I saw it from a distance before entering the city, but I didn't want this Lanruo Temple to be so barren. ”
Ning Caichen wiped the sweat from his head, very disappointed.
"What can we do now? The vegetation is so abundant, and it is so dark, that we can't go in, and now the gates are closed, and there is nowhere to live. ”
Chen Jienan said.
"If you look closely, people who want to stay will always find the entrance. ”
Ning Caichen scratched his head suspiciously, obediently stepped forward to investigate carefully, and after a while, he really found a way for him, which was not big or small, and it was suitable for the two of them to enter and exit.
"Benefactor!
Ning Caichen waved his hand happily, "There really is a road here, enough for the two of us to walk!"
But he seemed to realize that something was wrong: "Hey, there are small oil lamps on both sides of this road...... I didn't see such a wide road when I first looked? And who lit this lamp? Could it be that someone has already gone in?"
"Maybe you didn't pay attention. Chen Jienan replied lightly.
This road was indeed not there originally, and it was not Chen Jienan's magic, but some people wanted to enter Lanruo Temple, and Lanruo Temple opened a way for them to get out.
"Maybe I didn't notice. Ning Caichen was only puzzled, so he didn't care about it anymore, and stepped on this trail without hesitation.
The two walked forward in silence, only about fifty meters or so, Chen Jienan sensed something, he quietly released a detection spell, and the news back was as he expected - the entrance behind him had disappeared, and the small oil lamps that illuminated the road were also gone.
He walked unhurriedly behind Ning Caichen, making a "sharp shadow invisible", cutting off a few weeds on the side of the road, but after the two of them walked by, the weeds grew to their original height in an instant.
Chen Jienan followed his magic power from the path where the weeds absorbed energy, and unsurprisingly led to the Lanruo Temple not far away, as if quietly merging into the sea, and soon disappeared.
A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
Hehe, I see, carving insect skills.
While Chen Jienan was quietly probing, the two soon came to the gate of Lanruo Temple, the gate of Lanruo Temple was closed, but the lantern at the door was lit at some point, and there were faint lights floating in Lanruo Temple.
"Benefactor, we're at Lanruo Temple!" Ning Caichen said happily, but the smile on the corner of his mouth quickly froze.
"This ...... Isn't this Lanruo Temple wrong...... We haven't seen the lights yet, and why, why are there people living again?"
He looked at Chen Jienan as if asking for help, and Chen Jienan's expression was not moved at all.
"Maybe it's just that the lights weren't on before. Chen Jienan said.
"Yes...... But where did we go?!" exclaimed Ning Caichen.
