"Who are you?"

Tiamat stepped forward and asked rhetorically.

“……”

The man was shocked at the sight of Tiamat, he was tall, and no one had been taller than him since he could remember.

I didn't expect to bump into a more ruthless one today.

And he was dressed in a very strange black dress that knew no shame.

Looking at that figure, it is stronger than himself, which is really surprising.

If such a person is engaged in robbery, he has no capital......

Even he will suffer.

The short knife in the man's hand tightened his grip.

However, seeing the person next to the bald man, the man relaxed a little.

The other person has red lips and white face, looks handsome and extraordinary, and can vaguely see a sword hidden under the robe, and the Buddha beads on his wrist, all of which show a luxurious atmosphere.

Source change app】

At first glance, you know that the identity is extraordinary.

The bald man should be this person's guard, not a bandit.

"In Xia Ning Caichen, a native of Zhejiang, he passed by here when he entered Beijing to catch the exam. This is my scholar, Da Zhuang. The two are ......"

“……”

Tiamat couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Xia Yanzhen.

Such a sprouts scholar is called Da Zhuang?

Why don't you call it Da Zhuang?

Xia Yan really didn't have any expression, his mind was free, what version of this Ning Caichen was?

The original Ning Caichen is a cheerful, bold, square and self-respecting scholar, and he doesn't have too many descriptions of his appearance, but he shouldn't be weak.

Ning Caichen in the classic movie has the taste of a weak scholar.

However, in the movie, Ning Caichen's job is a debt collector, which is quite interesting.

A scholar who is delicate and weak, and almost powerless, dares to do the work of collecting debts (collecting debts), is he not afraid of death?

Replaced by the one in front of him, he was almost mistaken for Yan Chixia by Xia Yanzhen, and the heroic version of Ning Caichen is more suitable.

Speaking of which, Yan Chixia in the original book is not a bearded middle-aged Taoist swordsman.

is a scholar who is younger than Ning Caichen, but can kill demons.

There is also a TV series version of Ning Caichen, which is basically based on the movie.

"Two ......"

Seeing that Xia Yanzhen and Tiamat didn't speak, Ning Caichen said another sentence and raised his voice slightly.

"Oh, Master Ning. In the lower left thousand households. Xia Yanzhen paused and gave himself a pseudonym.

This is a Mengren who has nothing to do with the original book, and the movie appears with strong martial arts.

Xia Yan really felt that he was closer to him, so he didn't use the common code name of Xia Shiyi, and changed his name to play.

"This is my scholar, Xiaohong."

"......" Ning Caichen and Da Zhuang couldn't help but look at Tiamat.

Such a strong man, do you say he is a scholar Xiaohong?

This is clearly your guard.

"Xiaohong and I traveled everywhere, and we wanted to catch a rabbit and beat our teeth, but we ended up in the forest and couldn't tell the difference between east and west. I wonder if you can walk with Ning Gongzi for a while and take us out of this dense forest? Xia Yan really looked polite.

"Naturally."

Ning Caichen agreed, "Just look at the sky, I'm afraid we will have to spend the night here, I have only been to this mountain forest once, or many years ago, I can't guarantee that we can find a suitable place to spend the night." ”

"No problem, just take us out, thank you Ning Gongzi." Xia Yanzhen stepped forward and reached into the outermost robe of the Prisoner of Darkness.

The short knife under Ning Caichen's hand drooped, but his body tensed up, ready to move.

Of course he knew that the two people in front of him were not telling the truth.

But in the current situation, what the other party says is what it is.

In a head-on confrontation, Ning Caichen didn't feel that he could beat that Xiaohong.

There is also a more important point, Ning Caichen, a scholar whose main business is to take exams and his side job is to collect debts, is there anything coveted about him?

Even if the money he received and those IOUs are combined, can they compare to the clothes of the strangely named Zuo Gongzi in front of him?

This is not a very person, and he is not coming for himself.

So, let it be.

Of course, even so, the vigilance that should be there cannot be put down.

He Ning Caichen walked the rivers and lakes and collected debts all the way - no, he went to Beijing to catch the exam, and by the way, he did some side jobs, and he didn't overturn, what did he rely on?

Is it your own strong physique?

Of course there is, but more so be careful.

No matter what the other person wants to come up with, he will make the right response.

"Hiss......"

"Shhhh

Two gasps rang out.

The things Xia Yanzhen took out made Ning Caichen almost miss the short knife in his hand.

The response is not quite right.

The other scholar who made a sound, Da Zhuang, was even more exaggerated, staring directly at Xia Yanzhen's hand.

"These pieces of gold should be used as a reward for Ning Gongzi to lead the way." Xia Yanzhen handed over the little broken gold in his hand.

This gold is certainly not a prop equipment.

It was brought from the real world by Xia Yanzhen through the sage bracer.

It's not pure gold, it's mediocre, but it's good enough for most of the quest world.

In general, in a world with a monetary system, gold is universal.

Xia Yanzhen prepared a little under Tao E's suggestion, he couldn't go to the fate every time he entered the mission world and needed money.

It's not that you can't turn into a relationship, but whether you can meet a donor every time.

For example, in the current situation, Ning Caichen must not be the benefactor.

Just in time for the use of gold.

"Zuo Gongzi, this is too precious." Ning Caichen put the short knife back into the scabbard and stretched out his hand, "I want the smallest one." ”

He took the smallest of the few pieces of gold, not much bigger than a fingernail.

"That's enough." Ning Caichen smiled, "I will definitely take Zuo Gongzi and you away." ”

You give me the money, I'll do the work! Feel relieved!

As a debt collector, Ning Caichen has a good professional ethic.

It's much better than his imperial examination skills.

In addition, collecting money is not greedy for money - there is a little, and more importantly, it is an agreement with Zuo Gongzi.

Everyone is on their own, so it's safer.

Although there was no hostility, the pressure that Xiaohong brought to Ning Caichen was still very great.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

Xia Yanzhen and Ning Caichen looked at each other and smiled, reaching a consensus.

The four of them continued on their way.

Ning Caichen took the lead, and the large wooden box he was carrying behind his back did not affect him at all from walking through the intermittent path in the forest, and his pace was vigorous.

It's just that he is carrying a bag, and the scholar who is not strong at all is strong, but it is more difficult to follow.

Xia Yanzhen and Tiamat were in the back, so they were naturally extremely relaxed.

One person and one dragon can also be seen that Ning Caichen is just a strong man of ordinary people, and there is nothing special.

"How old is Ning Gongzi this year?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"Six out of thirty." Ning Caichen said.

"Are you married?"

"Yes, it's just that Humble Jing died many years ago."

"Do you have children?" Xia Yan really asked for a while.

"Nope."

Ning Caichen said, his voice slightly lower.

In this era, there are relatively few people like him who are thirty-six years old and have no children.

Many people have children by the age of 20.

"Oh, oh." Xia Yan really answered twice.

Ning Caichen, a single strong man, if he didn't have a relationship with this big man that surpassed that of his son and his scholar, it was normal to have some entanglements with female ghosts.

This physique is not like an ordinary scholar, and it will not work overnight.

It can support at least three to five days.

As for Da Zhuang, who is not strong at all, it is estimated that a few mouthfuls will be gone.

Time passed, night gradually fell, and Ning Caichen did not take Xia Yanzhen and them to find Lanruo Temple.

He found a mountain wall, and there was a depression into it, not deep, only two or three meters, which could be used as a place to rest for the night.

A bonfire was lit outside the pit, and Ning Caichen took out a small bottle from the large wooden box he was carrying and scattered it around.

This is a medicine that can repel snakes and insects.

Xia Yanzhen also took it over and took a look, not equipment props.

Inside are some unknown medicinal powders, which should have the ingredient of realgar.

Then, Ning Caichen took out a very dry cake and gave it to Xia Yanzhen, telling them that he could take the two of them away the day after tomorrow at the latest.

He had been to this place many years ago and was a little impressed.

In fact, if it weren't for taking care of Da Zhuang, the three of them could have been faster.

Xia Yanzhen said that he was not in a hurry, they traveled all over the world, and they were wandering around.

A few more days or a few days is not a matter at all.

As the night grew darker, Ning Caichen added wood to the bonfire from time to time to keep it burning.

"Zuo Gongzi, you can sleep for a while." Ning Caichen said.

"No, I walk the rivers and lakes, and I also have a bit of martial arts." Xia Yanzhen smiled.

Ning Caichen didn't ask much and nodded.

"I'll make it easier." Tiamat stood up.

After leaving Ning Caichen's sight, he flew up directly and walked through the forest at a low altitude, looking for traces of Lanruo Temple.

After a while, Tiamat's words came from within the team's channel: "Found it. ”

"It's that simple?" Xia Yan was a little surprised, he originally thought that he had to work with Ning Caichen, the male protagonist, to find Lanruo Temple.

"Well, there's an inexplicable attraction to this place, and I can't help but get closer."

Tiamat also suddenly came to his senses when he saw Lanruo Temple.

I seem to have been seduced!

"It's normal, too."

If you think about it carefully, Lanruo Temple is to "welcome guests to eat", of course, the door should be wide open.

It's not normal to hide it on purpose.

"Do you want to go in and investigate?" Tiamat asked, "It seems to be quite lively inside." ”

"No, come back." Xia Yanzhen made a decision.

It is not advisable to startle the snake.

Tiamat returned, and the night passed.

The next morning, the four were on the road again.

At the end of the day, Da Zhuang was exhausted, Ning Caichen was also a little tired, only Xia Yanzhen and Tiamat were in good spirits.

"There's a building in front of you, probably a wilderness temple or something, and we'll stay there for the night." In the evening, Ning Caichen discovered Lanruo Temple and gave advice.

Naturally, no one objected.

The four of them approached Lanruo Temple.

Soon you will see some dilapidated outbuildings.

The broken wall is mainly broken.

After "tsk ......" entered these broken walls, Xia Yanzhen made a little sound.

"Zuo Gongzi, what's wrong?" Ning Caichen, who was at the front, turned around and asked.

"It's fine."

Xia Yanzhen looked at his feet and shook his head.

In the eyes of the other three, the dirt floor with a lot of weeds under their feet, some of the ground is a little soft to step on.

And Xia Yanzhen saw that they were stepping on a "ground" composed of corpses.

White bones, dried corpses, giants, rotting corpses, and even fresh corpses not long after death made up the ground beneath their feet.

With a little footstep, Xia Yanzhen jumped onto the wall.

"Practice."

Facing Ning Caichen's somewhat puzzled gaze, he explained
