In ancient times, it always took some time to travel on foot, not to mention a scholar, a day and night of the rising and setting of the moon, when the scholar came to the vicinity of Lanruo Temple with a bamboo sac box, the cave house that had been confined for four years finally had movement.

"Welcome to the master (senior) out of the customs. Nie Xiaoqian knelt beside with the remaining ghosts, looking excited in the face of Niu Man.

Nodding and raising his hand, let the ghosts get up, Niu Man stepped out of the cave, his eyes were a little emotional, in four years, he not only refined the thousand-year-old tree heart, and cultivated to successfully break through to the middle stage of the Scattered Immortals not long ago, but also had some insights on "Mahamudra" and "Buddha Country in the Palm". It's just that it has been improved again, combined with some of the exercises left in the "Ancient Barbarian Cow Jue" and the Bull Demon King Jade Fu, absorbing the strengths of others, the original Buddhist and Taoist aura is more suitable for the cultivation of the demon clan, and the demon prison magic power in the palm of the study has also been successful.

"Has anything happened in Lanruo Temple recently?" Niu Man asked Nie Xiaoqian and Qing'er, the two disciples. He has to determine the specific time when the plot will progress before he can make a plan.

"It's not a big deal. Only yesterday a scholar came to stay in Lanruo Temple, and my sisters watched from afar and did not disturb. ”

Nie Xiaoqian thought for a moment before responding slowly.

"Scholar, what's that scholar's name?"

"Ning Caichen. ”

Nie Xiaoqian and Qing'er were puzzled, and they didn't understand why their master would pay attention to a scholar.

"Have you started?"

Facing the puzzled gaze of the two ghosts, Niu Man didn't explain much, nor did he pay much attention to Ning Caichen, seeing that Nie Xiaoqian's expression was normal when she mentioned Ning Caichen, and she was even less interested in a mortal, in the final analysis, Ning Caichen was just a little white face in the ghost love of later generations, and the only useful place was probably to contact Yan Chixia to deal with the centipede essence together. He just gave orders and explained some things, and then left.

In the thatched house not far from Lanruo Temple, Yan Chixia destroyed the evil tree grandmother four years ago and did not leave after dismissing the ghosts. He was once told by Niu Man that the Dryad was just an appetizer, and that there would be a big demon this year, and his evil deeds would be more than ten times that of the Dryad, and he was invited to eliminate the demon together to eliminate harm and bring peace to the demon world and the human world.

Yan Chixia didn't want to nod and agree, he had a bold and simple personality, and he came to Lanruo Temple to get rid of the demon, and he wanted to leave after the death of the tree demon, and he heard that there were evil demons, so he naturally had no intention of leaving, and he heard from Niu Man that the demon cultivation was profound, and he had been concentrating on cultivation for four years, and now his cultivation is only one line away from the middle stage of the scattered immortals.

The breeze blows across the hills, the shadows of the trees are swaying, I have to say that the original law is strong, Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen are still acquainted, the two have warm and hot personalities, complement each other and talk very speculatively. When Niu Man arrived, he saw such a scene, the two sat opposite the table, and talked happily with a pot of turbid wine.

"Brother Yan has a distinguished guest, and he came uninvited, but it disturbed the two of them. ”

Niu Man appeared out of thin air, and did not hide his intention of not being human in front of Ning Caichen, and bowed to the panicked weak scholar, "In Xia Niu Man, now living in Lanruo Temple, I have seen this brother." ”

Ning Caichen was frightened, there has never been a shortage of legends of demons and monsters in this world, many people know its existence, and have seen it with their own eyes, and he has heard of it, but when the big demon Niu Man really stood in front of him, he couldn't help but tremble, he was just a mortal, although there were many legends in later generations.

"In Xianning... Ning Caichen has seen the king. Ning Caichen held himself up, afraid of angering Niu Man, so he trembled and bowed.

"It doesn't have to be so, this seat is different from other demons, from the heart of harmless people, although you can rest assured, it is still the abruptness of this seat this time, lack of consideration, Brother Ning don't blame it. ”

Niu Man waved his hand and smiled indifferently, he still had to use Yan Chixia's power to deal with Black Mountain, and wanted to pave the way for the plot of Yiye Zhiqiu that appeared later, Ning Caichen didn't provoke him, so he naturally had to pretend to the end, since he had met, he didn't mind befriending him.

"Don't worry, he never harms people, and he has no flesh and blood, otherwise the poor road would have already dealt with him, and how could he let him step into the poor road residence in a grand manner. Yan Chixia spoke out at the right time, glaring at Niu Man with wide eyes, obviously blaming him for appearing like this.

Niu Man doesn't care, he turns a blind eye to Yan Chixia's complaints, he has been with one person and one demon for a while, and he has some understanding of the personalities of both parties, and knows what to do and what not to do.

"Brother Niu is serious!

Yan Chixia's words and Niu Man's good temper made Ning Caichen's beating heart feel a lot, waved his hand at Niu Man, and sat down with a smile, the three of them pushed the cup and drank freely, chatting happily, even if the turbid wine was excited, Ning Caichen, who was originally a little afraid of Niu Man, gradually let go, grabbed Niu Man's arm, and called him a brother.

After drinking, Niu Man summoned the two ghosts of Lanruo Temple to send the drunk and unconscious Ning Caichen back, and then he sat down and talked to Yan Chixia about business.

"Are you sure it's this year, so the old demon of Montenegro will really appear?" Yan Chixia asked.

"It's true! This year's Midyear Festival ghost door opened, the old demon of Montenegro will come to marry my disciple Ning Xiaoqian, this is the original tree demon and Montenegro personally set a family affair, how can it be fake. Niu Man said.

"How are you going to deal with him?" Poor Dao doesn't know anything about this demon, only a Xuanyuan Divine Sword is at your disposal. Yan Chixia stroked the divine sword in her hand and said lightly.

"The old demon of Montenegro married this time, there are many people, and there must be a lot of subordinates, and he has cultivated extraordinary, just you and I are just mantis arms as a car, so I decided to use the formation. "Niu Man had a plan for a long time, he had been preparing for this matter for four years, except for the retreat and cultivation, and now everything is in order.

"It seems that Daoyou has a furrow in his chest, and when he pours it, he will call the poor Dao is, and he will definitely cut off the head of the old demon and let him know how powerful my Yan Chixia is. ”

Yan Chixia patted her chest and swore an oath. Then the two talked in detail about this matter, Niu Man nodded to Yan Chixia, leaving a jade yuan pill to help Yan Chixia break through the realm, and then turned around and left, ready to arrange.

Lanruo Temple, Ning Caichen stayed here for a few days, during which in addition to chatting with Yan Chixia and Niu Man, Niu Man also specially arranged for him to meet Nie Xiaoqian inadvertently a few times, but unfortunately, perhaps because of the butterfly effect, although one person and one ghost have a good impression of each other, they just don't call.

The time gears slowly rolled over, after Ning Caichen left, Lanruo Temple once again returned to its previous calm, Niu Man on weekdays, except for Yan Chixia, who had finally broken through the middle stage of the Scattered Immortals, and taught the two apprentices, the rest of the time calculated the direction correctly, and has been taking the ghosts of Lanruo Temple to arrange formations in the barren mountains in the distance. In the blink of an eye, when the formation was completed, he was stunned, only to find that there was not much time left before the Midyear Festival.

Niu Man looked back at the busy Nie Xiaoqian and Qing'er, pinching the time, it was time to talk to them.
