Chapter 20: Yan Chixia
Ning Caichen was not familiar with the environment of Montenegro at all, so he naturally got lost, and he couldn't get out, seeing that it was getting dark, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, how strange there are on Montenegro, this is not an empty word.
After another candle of incense, the sun had sunk in the west, and it happened that at this moment, he seemed to notice a faint fire in the forest in front of him.
This discovery lifted Ning Caichen's spirits, and he hurried towards the place where the fire was lit with tired steps.
When he rushed to the place sweating profusely, he saw that the place where the fire was shining was an abandoned temple, and the plaque on the temple gate was already dilapidated, and he could only vaguely see the words "Lan" and "Temple", but the word in the middle could not be seen clearly.
It has been a long time since the temple was abandoned, and even the walls have collapsed, not to mention the inside of the temple, the bluestone paved floor has been overgrown with weeds, and most of the remaining houses have collapsed, except for the main hall, which is slightly better.
The firelight came from the main hall, and through the firelight, you could vaguely see the Buddha statues enshrined in the hall, and beyond the firelight, it was pitch black.
At this time, it was already night, Ning Caichen just hesitated slightly, and walked into the temple quickly, and when he walked into the main hall, the firelight could not be out of nothing, so there were naturally people in the main hall, Ning Caichen walked in and saw a woman in a light green cloth dress with an ordinary face sitting cross-legged next to the fire.
When the woman found someone coming in, she opened her eyes and glanced at Ning Caichen, then closed her eyes again, her demeanor was calm, and she didn't show any other emotions.
As soon as he walked into the main hall, Ning Caichen felt that the panic mood faded instantly, and he felt that there was a warm breath, constantly flowing into his body from the heavenly spirit and the spring.
Ning Caichen came back to his senses at this time, thinking that he was in the same room with the two lonely men and widows of the woman, his face instantly became unnatural, and after a while, he mustered up his courage and said to the woman: "In Xia Ning Caichen, I got lost in this black mountain, it was late, there were many fierce beasts in the forest, and I had to see the fire, so I hurried here, and I hope that the girl is not strange in Xia Menglang." ”
The woman is Youying, who listened to Ning Caichen's words, nodded slightly, and said softly: "It's okay, I'm just a rural village girl, but I don't care about those red tapes, the night is dark and dewy, scholars and rest early, after the main hall is where the wing room is." ”
After saying these words, Youying closed her eyes again, and didn't say a word, even if Ning Caichen was a white-faced scholar with little knowledge, he could see that Youying's behavior was definitely not something that a rural village girl could have, so she didn't say much, and after saying thank you, she borrowed fire from Youying and entered the wing room.
The wing room is indeed a wing room, but it has not been taken care of for a long time, it has long been full of dust, tables and chairs and other objects have rotted, only one bed is still generally intact because it is thick and has been treated with antiseptic and insect protection.
Ning Caichen did not dislike it, took out the lamp from the book basket, carefully poured the lamp oil, and then used the fire borrowed from the shadow to light it, while he himself took out an oilcloth, spread it on the bed, and soon fell asleep.
Time flies, and soon the hour has arrived, this is the time when the yin energy between heaven and earth is at its peak, and countless spirits hidden on the black mountain have shown their shapes, among which is a ghost.
This ghost happened to be near Lanruo Temple, and it couldn't feel the breath of the ghost, but Ning Caichen's breath couldn't hide it.
This ghost has been cultivated for a hundred years, and it directly turned into a burst of black fog, drifting towards Ning Caichen's location, and the doors and windows of the Lanruo Temple couldn't stop the black fog at all, and it was easily penetrated by the latter.
The danger was approaching, but Ning Caichen didn't know anything, just as the black mist was rushing towards him, the bean-sized flames on the oil lamp placed next to the bed suddenly soared, and there was a faint thunder sound.
As soon as it came out like this, it directly frightened the black fog enough, and hung in the wing room for a while before flying towards Ning Caichen again.
As before, the flames on the oil lamp suddenly skyrocketed, and the thunder sounded again, but maybe it was prepared, and the black mist hesitated for a while, and then insisted on flying towards Ning Caichen.
As the black fog approached again and again, a thunderbolt suddenly flew out of the lamplight, directly hitting the black fog, which could hurt the black fog not lightly, only to hear a terrible scream, and the black fog was immediately dispersed.
This scream instantly woke Ning Caichen from his sleep, so he also saw the black fog that he fled in a hurry, how could Ning Caichen not see that there was a demon who wanted to be unfavorable to him.
At that time, Ning Caichen could be said to have no sleepiness, and almost ran out of the wing room and ran directly to the main hall.
When he came out of the side room, he found that there was originally only one woman in the main hall, but there was an extra middle-aged man with a raunchy beard and a Taoist priest carrying a sword box on his back.
Ning Caichen ignored everything else, and only saw that the man was dressed as a Taoist priest, and then ran to the man with a roll, and said in a trembling voice: "Dao, Dao Chief, there are monsters in this temple, Dao Chief, save me!"
It's not that Ning Caichen is timid, but he has also seen people who have been injured by the charm in Black Mountain Town, and their appearance is extremely miserable, even if he has a big secret, but now he is just a white-faced scholar, although he has heard of ghosts and mysteries, it is the first time he has really encountered them.
The man closed his eyes like Youying, listened to Ning Caichen's words, then opened his eyes, looked him up and down, and then said with a smile: "Since you have met, Dao Ye and I will naturally protect you, but if you die by yourself, then it is no wonder that Dao Ye and me." ”
After speaking, the Taoist priest patted the sword box behind him, only to hear the sound of "click", the sword box opened by itself, and three golden flying swords flew out of the hall in the shape of a pin.
Youying watched the whole time, and the middle-aged man's behavior, although she had no waves on her face, she secretly deduced the middle-aged man's identity.
The man's name is Yan Chixia, and he is the only disciple of the Jindan Realm monk who only attacked her in the Youying Tribulation, and he came to Black Mountain to eradicate the ghost locust!
At the beginning, his master died, and he was incapable, but after the fact, he cast a spell to find out the situation of his master's death, because Youying was restricted in many ways, so Yan Chixia finally locked on Ghost Huai as his killer enemy.
"Okay, scholar, don't stand at night, it's cold, you don't even wear a coat, if you get sick because of this, it will be more than worth the loss?"
The three golden swords were not released in vain, they were in Liwei, Yan Chixia wiped out the three charms as soon as she made a move, and it also showed that she was not easy to mess with, so at least she could last until dawn.
Ning Caichen couldn't stand the cold dew for a long time, and after getting Yan Chixia's assurance, Ning Caichen was also a little relieved. But he didn't dare to go back to the wing, so he just borrowed the fire and added another fire in this Lanruo Temple.
