There were only three people left in the room, and they were speechless for a while.

In fact, he was mentally prepared last night, expecting that someone would be afraid and no longer interfere in this matter, but he still had mixed feelings when he really faced it.

He didn't blame the Fallen Immortal Daoist for being selfish, after all, in this troubled world, if they were not selfish, they would not live long.

And everyone is a casual cultivator, and they probably know how much they are capable of, and they will not be overly self-aggrandized, thinking that they can save the world.

He took a sip of the teacup, glanced at the Yuanlin monk, and said: "Yuanlin Daoyou, I will go up the mountain today and personally guard the Lanruo Temple, as for you and Zhao's seniors, I will trouble you to continue to work hard and prevent the demon girl from capturing the people." ”

They didn't know how many people the banshee had captured, and they didn't know how many people's hard work would be needed to break the seal.

Although one den was destroyed, who knows how many such dens there are, so the best way is to divide the troops into two ways to prevent changes.

After listening to Yi Fan's words, Monk Yuanlin looked at Daochang Zhao, and Daochang Zhao pondered and said: "Since Xiaoyou is willing to go to danger, then the two of us naturally don't say much, but there is one thing that Daoyou should remember that if things develop to the point where it is impossible to do anything, saving one's life is the most important thing, and everything else depends on the will of heaven." ”

Since that group of demons is ready to break the tree demon body of Lanruo Temple, then Lanruo Temple must be the most dangerous place, and if you are not careful, your life will not be guaranteed.

Yi Fan nodded, although he is not a bad person, but he is not a saint who takes saving the world as his own responsibility.

The three of them discussed some details, Yi Fan packed his luggage and went out, the street became more and more dilapidated, and the wind and sand swept away, which made people confused.

Out of the city, saying goodbye to each other, Yi Fan walked quickly, dozens of miles all the way, arrived in an hour, and did not meet anyone on the road, overgrown with weeds and desolate.

went up the mountain, and returned to the Taoist temple after a short time, Chen Lan and Chen Nier were all right, he walked for a few days, and he didn't dare to go out, as for the disgusting ghosts, he still looked like he had no heart and lungs, lying on the roof all day to dry his buttocks.

......

Outside the county town of Guobei, a young reader walked slowly, carrying a broken book basket woven from bamboo, covered with a rag on it, covering the sunlight and covering himself in the dust.

When I arrived in front of the city, my face was full of joy and wiped my sweat: "I finally arrived in Guobei County, I will rest here for a few days, and it is not too late to hurry." ”

Grabbed a passer-by and arched his hand: "In Xia Ning Caichen, go to Hangzhou, Zhejiang to catch the exam, pass through here, sleep all the way, want to find an inn to rest, and ask this brother for guidance." ”

The passer-by stopped and looked at the reader: "You have money?"

Ning Caichen touched his sleeve and smiled awkwardly: "No, but Xiaosheng can paint and write, and he can help with some chores, as long as he drinks a sip of water, he can fill his stomach." ”

"If you don't have money, you're a fart and a waste of your uncle's time. As soon as the passers-by heard that there was no money, they immediately flicked their sleeves, turned around and left.

Leaving Ning Caichen inexplicably, he had to continue to ask others, two or three people in a row, either shaking his hand and not answering, or leaving directly, anyway, he didn't ask for a result, so he had to give up.

But in this way, everyone around him knew that this was a poor scholar, and the sight that was originally a little covetous disappeared completely, and no one paid attention to him anymore.

When I entered the city, I saw that the streets were broken, the faces of the pedestrians were strange, most of the swords did not leave their bodies, and the eyes of the people were not right, as if they wanted to eat people.

didn't dare to look at people, only buried his head in the advance, but was also blocked by a group of people, Ning Caichen forced his composure, looked at a person searching for his broken book, coughed and said: "No money, a few brothers don't have to work hard." ”

He has a lot of experience in this matter, and he goes out from home to take the exam, except for meeting a kind business traveler who can take him on a ride, and at other times, most of them travel alone, and it is inevitable to meet robbers and bandits.

His own money is not much, except for eating and drinking, he is basically consumed, and when the bandits see that there is no oil and water to fish, they will generally let him go.

Even in this gradually chaotic world, there is still a certain degree of preferential treatment and respect for scholars.

Sure enough, after listening to Ning Caichen's words, several people felt helpless, looked at Ning Caichen with disdain, and waved their hands impatiently: "What are you still doing here if you don't have money, why don't you get out of here?"

Ning Caichen hugged the bookbrush, patted his sleeve, nodded with a smile, and walked forward with his head held high.

Who knew that he was kicked in the back, and one of them spat and scolded: "You try to laugh again? I hate you poor scholars the most, I think the world is plagued by your group of scholars." “

After speaking, he was about to step forward and kick it, Ning Caichen quickly got up and ran away without looking back, and the pedestrians were not surprised, their faces were indifferent.

Finally, I finally found an inn, and as soon as I entered the door, a shopkeeper greeted me: "Is the guest officer a tip or a hotel?"

Ning Caichen glanced at him and said, "What about your shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ning Caichen strangely: "What is the matter with the guest officer looking for our shopkeeper?"

"But there are some things to discuss, so please ask the shopkeeper to come out. Ning Caichen coughed.

The shopkeeper's face was full of weirdness, and he stopped talking, and finally said: "You wait a minute, the little one will ask the shopkeeper to come over." ”

After a while, a wealthy old man walked briskly from behind, followed by two strong men, and the shopkeeper followed beside him.

"I'm the shopkeeper of this inn, I don't know what this guest officer is looking for me?" The rich old man looked at Ning Caichen without moving, smiling all over his face.

Ning Caichen glanced at the two fierce strong men behind him, swallowed his saliva, and said: "In Xia Ning Caichen, go to Hangzhou to catch the exam, pass here, I want to live here for a few days, and I hope that the shopkeeper will be convenient." ”

The rich old man laughed: "The guest officer said that he laughed, I opened an inn, and naturally welcomed visitors from all over the world, since I live in the hotel, I naturally welcome it." ”

Ning Caichen was overjoyed and arched his hand: "Then thank you to the shopkeeper, Xiaosheng will definitely repay you in the future." “

said, and said: "Xiaoshengdian will not live in vain, what kind of chores do you have in the store, or written bookkeeping, writing couplets, these Xiaosheng will do." “

"Wait, isn't the guest officer joking?"

The rich old man put away half of his smile and said, "The small shop is thin, but it won't let people live in vain." ”

Ning Caichen was about to speak, but was interrupted by the shopkeeper next to him: "Scholar, just say if you have the money to live in the store." ”

"Xiaosheng doesn't have any money, but he won't live in vain, he is proficient in calligraphy and painting, and he can also do arithmetic, so it doesn't hurt to do some chores, just need a shelter from the rain. Ning Caichen hurriedly said.

"No money?" The shopkeeper's voice suddenly became louder, if it weren't for the shopkeeper here, he would have wanted to scold.

The rich old man's face was completely cold, and he looked at Ning Caichen and said, "I see that you are a scholar, so I will let you go this time, don't let me see you again." ”

After speaking, he said to the two strong men behind him: "Throw him out." ”
