Chapter 6: The Poor Monk Sharpens His Knife
The woman in the white dress tapped her chin lightly, and two tears dripped down her cheeks, telling the tragic family history.
Nie Xiaoqian was still born in an official family, and she still died early, but this time it was not the tree demon who controlled her, but a person.
Even if Nie Xiaoqian didn't say who the shopkeeper was, if you think about it with your toes, you know that this person's cultivation is extremely high.
As for the legend of Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian, it is just the story created by Lanruo Temple in order to attract business.
is the same glamorous female ghost, but with a different identity, and the story also has a different flavor.
"Don't tell me that Ning Caichen is the big boss behind it. Ye Cang touched his nose and said casually.
Nie Xiaoqian looked at Ye Cang in great horror and said, "Master, no one knows about this except me and the shopkeeper, you ...... How do you know?"
Ye Cang shuddered.
The plot ...... The three views have exploded.
"I just said it casually, but I didn't expect it to be true. Ye Cang smiled helplessly.
Nie Xiaoqian got up slowly, poured Ye Cang a cup of tea, and said softly: "Since the master can guess the mastermind behind the scenes, the shopkeeper is the Yin and Yang Sigong of the City God Temple, you must have guessed it too." ”
I don't want to guess at all, Yin Yang Sigong is the secretary general under the City God, and his cultivation is no less than that of Lingyou Zen Master, plus a Ning Caichen, and let people live?
Ye Cang's forehead was sweating, and he wanted to escape from the land of right and wrong.
However, he must be calm and light-hearted, and show the style of a high-ranking monk.
It's not a matter of losing face, it's a big deal of losing your head.
Don't look at Nie Xiaoqian's soft and weak, it is a real Arhat high-level, and the sword is still in her hand, this girl has not relaxed her vigilance at all.
Syllable!
Ye Cang slapped the table heavily, and said righteously: "The Yin and Yang Sigong who is in charge of supervision has done evil, is the city god blind?
Nie Xiaoqian hurriedly said, "Master, no!"
Ye Cang snorted coldly, as if he was really angry.
"What's the matter? You don't have confidence in me? Hmph, a little city god may not have fallen into the eyes of a poor monk!"
Nie Xiaoqian hurriedly explained: "The master misunderstood, the little woman is just a steward of Lanruo Temple, and I don't know how many Yin Gods are involved in the City God Temple, in case it ......."
I'm just bragging, pretending, and questioning Lord Chenghuang, I don't dare to eat leopard gall as jelly beans!
Ye Cang frowned, and asked tentatively, "What are your plans?"
Nie Xiaoqian knelt on one knee with a resolute attitude.
"The little woman's ashes altar is buried under the hundred-year-old willow tree in Willow Village in the east of the city, the master takes it out, and after Xiao Qian recovers her freedom tomorrow night, at that time, I will go to the Dragon King Temple with the master to testify!"
Be your sister, when I slip out of Lanruo Temple, I will run far away, and I will not wade into this troubled water......
Ye Cang's thoughts hadn't finished yet, and a coquettish ...... sounded in his mind Uh, a cold voice.

Ye Cang understood that the system was intent on forcing himself to a dead end.
However, he has no choice, and his life value is 21 left, and he can't stand the toss.
"Okay!" Ye Cang agreed neatly.
Nie Xiaoqian bowed slightly to Ye Cang, her soft face was full of gratitude.
"The little woman is for those sisters who died in vain and suffered, Master Xie is the abbot of justice, great kindness, and never forgets. ”
Ye Cang stood with one hand and called the Buddha's name.
"Amitabha, it is the duty of human beings to draw a sword to help when the road is uneven, and the poor monk is just doing the right thing for heaven. ”
After learning the characteristic shape of the ash altar from Nie Xiaoqian's mouth, Ye Cang picked up the Zen staff and cloth bag and walked out of Lanruo Temple.
Nie Xiaoqian watched Ye Cang's figure disappear into the night, and a few smiles appeared on the corners of her mouth.
Then she turned around lightly and walked slowly into Xu Ruoer's room.
"Mom, I didn't say anything. Xu Ruoer hurriedly ran over.
Nie Xiaoqian lifted Xu Ruo'er's jaw and said softly, "But you're going to say." ”
Poof!
Xu Ruoer knelt on one knee, trembling.
Nie Xiaoqian looked at her like this, and smiled more and more gently.
"People who have died once, are they still afraid of their souls scattered?
Xu Ruoer bit her red lip, and tears welled up again.
Nie Xiaoqian turned her back to Xu Ruoer, and there seemed to be a pool of water flowing in her poignant eyes.
"Looking at each other in the shape of the moon, only envying the mandarin ducks and not the immortals, Ruo'er, the people who love each other can be together, even if they are happy, right?"
There was no answer, only soft sobs.
Nie Xiaoqian turned around and pulled her long hair up.
Under the light, Xu Ruoer's face was slightly distorted by fear.
Nie Xiaoqian leaned into her ear, and her tone of voice was as warm as the spring wind.
"Do as I say, otherwise, not only will your soul be scattered, but your family will also have to be buried. ”
Under the bright moonlight, Ye Cang's pace was not in a hurry or slow.
When he arrived in the city, he sat on the wall, his back soaked in cold sweat.
Wouldn't there be a dryad under the willow tree in Willow Village? Damn, I don't need to ask!
Finding out the reason for Xu Ruoer's murder is equivalent to walking through the ghost gate, and taking the ashes will definitely have to fight for her life.
Ye Cang thought about the protagonist in the novel in his previous life, and he was angry.
People are either warm and fragrant in their arms or plug-ins are completely undisciplined, and when it is their turn, the rhythm has changed.
But......
It seems that the dryad only waves at night, and has to hold its tail during the day, so won't it be enough to give it a little more snake venom tomorrow?
"Gotta let my little cutie take two more bites, come, Living Bodhisattva, let me see if the redness and swelling on your tail is healed......"
Ye Cang took out his dagger and looked at the cloth bag, and the pride began to melt on his face - the rope that bound the cloth bag was loosened at some point.
Ye Cang hurriedly shook the cloth bag.
It was empty, not a single snake hair left.
It seems to be okay to come out of the room, it's only been a few miles, and the little green snake has run away?
Ye Cang looked at the blade glowing in the moonlight, and said helplessly: "It's better to talk than nothing, you have to give it your strength." ”
The sun has just revealed his lewd ...... With a bright smile, Ye Cang arrived at Willow Village.
The village is deserted in the morning light.
Obviously, the villagers are not stupid, they know that the willow tree is a spirit, and if they don't withdraw quickly, they will be arranged by God to become a fertilizer for the tree spirit.
"Today, the poor monk wants to kill the demons!"
Ye Cang took out the dagger and brushed it at the root of the tree.
At this moment, a man in a black robe and carrying a long sword walked over slowly.
"Who are you, what are you doing?" he asked, frowning.
"Go aside, don't you see the poor monk busy?!" Ye Cang didn't raise his head.
Scold!
With the sound of the sword unsheathed, murderous aura poured out.
Ye Cang hurriedly looked back, only to see the man in black holding a long sword and looking at him coldly.
"Answer me. The man in black shouted expressionlessly.
Ye Cang immediately showed an extremely kind smile and replied: "Poor monk, you are sharpening your knife." ”
