Hearing that he was going to Lanruo Temple for the night, Chen Jianchen immediately ignored his identity and hurriedly shouted: "No!"
Everyone looked at him curiously, and Gu Xuezheng frowned: "Stay immortal, why not?"
Chen Jianchen responded randomly and replied: "Lord Xuezheng, since the Lanruo Temple has been abandoned for a long time, it must have become a paradise for snakes, insects, rats and ants, where can people still live?"
Gu Xuezheng was already a bit of a cleanliness fetish, and his face was a little ugly when he heard this, and he asked the coachman again to see what the actual situation was.
The coachman replied respectfully, "The Nalan Ruo Temple was built at the foot of the mountain, and there are many trees in it, and it is very barren. In addition, it has been abandoned for many years, and very few people go to it in normal times. In fact, he himself didn't know what had become of it now.
Hearing this, the dilapidated and dilapidated temple of the snake and rat's nest suddenly appeared in everyone's minds.
Gu Xuezheng immediately retreated, and asked the coachman where he could stay overnight.
The coachman thought for a while, and said that if he hurried an hour further, he would be able to reach a township called "Qingtian".
There was already a township, Gu Xuezheng no longer hesitated, and immediately called the coachman to continue on the road.
The coachman waved his whip and shouted, driving the horses to gallop.
Sitting back in the carriage he belonged to, Chen Jianchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Hanfeng was a little unimpressed, and said: "Senior Liuxian, you don't care so much, I heard that Master Xuezheng doesn't like students to talk too much." ”
As a student politician, he has the majesty of his superiors, and the students under his rule speak out without asking questions, which is obviously not happy.
Chen Jianchen pursed his lips and said in his heart: Do you think I want to talk more?
As he walked this way, he lifted the curtain of the car, and looked out of the roadside with some curiosity, and I don't know how long later, suddenly in the distance, under a vast green forest under a vast mountain range, two or three pointed towers were faintly visible. In the twilight, it looks quite solemn and solemn -
It is not difficult to imagine that under these spires, surrounded by woods, there must have been a large temple covering an extensive area.
Lanruo Temple!
Three words that seem to have magical power, every time I think of them, Chen Jianchen can't help but think of all kinds of classic plots on the screen in his previous life.
It was his reflexive decision to subconsciously make Gu Xuezheng change his mind before, and he always felt that if he went to Lanruo Temple for the night, something bad would inevitably happen. It's a pity that he is passing by the Jinhua territory right now, but he can't enter the county seat to visit Nie Xiaoqian, it seems that he has to go to the capital of Zhejiang first and then find a chance to come out.
The carriage sped away, and it didn't take long for Lanruo Temple to be left behind, and gradually even the spire protruding from the trees was invisible.
Chen Jianchen sat down in the carriage, and Bian Yingning approached and asked in a low voice, "Childe, do you think there is a problem with Nalan Ruo Temple?"
She leaned closer, exhaling like an orchid, and her ears were itching, Chen Jianchen was distracted, and nodded to indicate that she had asked correctly.
Xiao Hanfeng, on the other side, saw the two of them so close, and suddenly sighed in his heart: Here again, here again, no wonder the former immortal senior said that he didn't like Fengyue, it turned out that he had a love for broken sleeves, it was really ...... It's so exciting......
When he was on the boat, he often saw that the behavior between Ying Ning and Chen Jianchen was sometimes very unusual, not like the relationship between an ordinary master and a scholar at all, but with some ambiguity, ambiguity, and playfulness...... To put it simply, it's a bit like a "comrade" relationship.
In the scholar class of the Tiantong Dynasty, the style of prostitution was not uncommon, and it was even regarded as an elegant thing by some literati, and a lot of corresponding poems were written to praise it, such as one of the sentences: "Nostalgia is not a back fishing, and secret love is like a car in front", in which the posture is not enough for outsiders. And Zhuge Wolong's "Reading Weitang Travels" records a similar story, called "Huang Jiulang", said to be a scholar named "He Zixiao", like the famous male fox demon Huang Jiulang, the two used it in the opposite way, and fell in love over time. At the end of the story, there is a sentence that "people must be strong, and the bird road dares to be born; the hole is not a peach source, and the fisherman would rather enter by mistake".
Therefore, Xiao Hanfeng saw that Ying Ning was so handsome and smart, like a virgin, and was really loved by everyone, Chen Jianchen was actually not a fuss about him - a scholar and a scholar, for many scholars, not only to lay out the quilt, but also to warm the bed is indispensable. As a result, Xiao Hanfeng suddenly realized, and his inspiration increased greatly, thinking that his own Spring Palace schema could innovate and open up new themes, and it would definitely be a big hit!
Thinking of doing it, he immediately ignored the bumps, spread out the four treasures of the study, and began to brew ideas.
Chen Jianchen didn't know what Xiao Hanfeng was thinking about in his heart, because from his standpoint, there was no problem with him and Ying Ning being intimate.
After about an hour, it was completely dark, and we finally arrived at the town of Qingtian. It is a small town with a small population that is not densely populated, but fortunately there is an inn with a very big name, called "Yuelai Inn".
After going to the inn and settling down, everyone ate upstairs. After a long journey, Gu Xuezheng couldn't hide his tiredness, looked at the surrounding environment, coughed dryly, and said: "Master Zeng, although this place is vulgar, it is definitely much better than Nalan Ruo Temple, hehe, fortunately, we don't have to stay in the deserted temple." ”
-- Two gentlemen, one surnamed Zeng and the other surnamed Xu.
Lanruo Temple?
Hearing these three words, the other people in the inn immediately looked sideways, staring at Gu Xuezheng with a strange expression.
The strangeness of everyone immediately attracted Gu Xuezheng's attention, but when he looked around, those who were watching hurriedly turned their heads away, pretending to be nothing, and lowered their heads to eat and drink.
Gu Xuezheng frowned, and said in his heart: The people in this inn are a little strange...... He called him a guard and asked him to let the shopkeeper come over.
The second child was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and he looked very clever and elf.
"Little Er!"
The shopkeeper looked at his face, saw a little bit of the doorway, and hurriedly replied: "What does this lord command?"
Gu Xuezheng said in a deep voice: "Just now Lord Ben talked about Lanruo Temple, why did everyone else look surprised. ”
As soon as the words fell, the shopkeeper's face turned a little white, and his eyes straightened.
Seeing his performance, Gu Xuezheng felt even more strange, his fingers knocked on the table, and his tone was a little heavier: "Hmm, let's talk about what's weird in it!"
The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva vigorously and replied a little sadly: "Tell the adult, the adult must not be a local." I don't know the situation of Nalan Ruo Temple...... This, Lanruo Temple is haunted!"
Hearing this, Gu Xuezheng relaxed instead, and snorted coldly: "Lang Lang Qiankun, the saint is wise, the four seas are peaceful, where are there ghosts in the world?" ”
The shopkeeper was resigned, didn't dare to say any more, and quickly retreated to continue serving food.
After reprimanding the shopkeeper and leaving, the scholar still felt angry, and brushed his sleeves and said: "What do you think is the matter?" ”
The master persuaded him: "Why should the scholars be angry? It's just the groundless remarks of some mountain and wild villagers. ”
Zeng Fuzi also spoke of persuasion - for them, they sincerely worship the sentence "the son does not say anything strange and chaotic spirits", but they cannot hear the existence of "strange forces and chaotic spirits", and the law is ignored.
Chen Jianchen was at another table, and when he heard the haunted words of the shopkeeper, he secretly paid attention to it, and was ready to find an opportunity to ask the other party and understand the situation.
On that day, the Dryad rose up and did not know where to go, but from Chen Jianchen's thoughts, he was almost 90% sure that the Dryad should have moved to Lanruo Temple. If it had come here, it would have been impossible not to stir up trouble. At the moment, combined with the theory of haunting, it is not the slightest difference.
After dinner, I began to go back to my room to wash up and rest. Chen Jianchen deliberately dragged it to the end, and waited for Gu Xuezheng and the others to go upstairs before calling the shopkeeper, first secretly stuffing a copper coin into his hand, and then asking: "Little second brother, I rushed from Jiangzhou to Zhezhou to participate in the world's first talent competition held by Kaitai Academy. ”
After taking the money, the shopkeeper smiled: "Although the son asks, the little one knows everything." ”
So Chen Jianchen began to ask questions piecemeal, and in the end, he pretended to ask about the situation of Lanruo Temple unintentionally. Hearing the words "Lanruo Temple", the shopkeeper's face turned a little pale, and he glanced around a few times, and then lowered his voice and said: "Son, you don't know, that Lanruo Temple has been abandoned for many years, and the imperial court destroyed the Buddha in the past and smashed the Buddha statues in the temple...... But somehow, last year, a hunter spent the night in the temple and accidentally found gold and made a fortune. Somehow, the news spread, and many people in the vicinity flocked to it, saying that the gold must have been a treasure buried by the monks in the past, and whoever could find it would send it......"
Hearing this, Chen Jianchen already knew a little in his heart, money can be channeled, and what could be more tempting than money? The rumor of a treasure is like a bait with a big mouthful of incense, which can easily attract countless fish to bite the hook.
The shopkeeper continued: "There are many people who go to hunt for treasures, and there are really people who find gold from the temple, and happily take the gold and go home. But for some reason, within three days of the gold, those who had won the gold were found dead in bed with a shriveled body...... At this time, everyone knew that the gold of Lanruo Temple could not be obtained, and once it was taken, there would be evil spirits haunted, and retribution would come. Over time, no one dared to go to Lanruo Temple anymore. ”
After he finished speaking, Chen Jianchen nodded thoughtfully, thanked the shopkeeper, and then returned to his room - as a representative of the students, their food, clothing, housing and transportation were reimbursed by the academy all this way, but due to the regulations, it was a little inconvenient to arrange for him and Xiao Hanfeng to live in a side room, plus Ying Ning. Seeing this, Chen Jianchen simply asked for an extra room at his own expense.
After returning to the room, Ying Ning asked, "Childe, do you want me to go to Nalanruo Temple to have a look?"
