Chapter 96: Lanruo Temple
Yan Chixia walked to the fire, put away the sundries, and said, "These are all things for self-defense." There is also a fierce horse, I think it was because I was frightened by the fight just now, and I don't know where to run. ”
After speaking, his thumb and forefinger circled to his mouth, his cheeks bulged and deflated, and a crisp and long whistle sounded. I heard the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounding in the forest, and sure enough, a yellow horse ran out.
When Sun Xu saw it, he said with admiration: "Yan Daxia's mount is so spiritual, it's really rare!"
Yan Chixia laughed loudly and said, "This horse has been with me for more than ten years, running around, and naturally has feelings for a long time. ”
Suddenly, in the distance, there was another deep wolf howl, echoing through the trees, gradually louder.
Listening carefully, there was a rush of footsteps and the voices of two people calling for help: "Help, help...... There are wolves!"
Therefore, the sky was completely dark, and Sun Xu and they had a burning fire here, and the firelight in the darkness was even more eye-catching, so the two of them naturally ran towards this side.
Before Yan Chixia could get up, she saw two scholar-like people running wildly in the forest, and several wolves were chasing after her.
Yan Chixia had just resigned, but he was used to catching fast, and he saw that he had to be peaceful, and when he saw the two scholars being chased by the evil wolf, without thinking, he came to them in a flash.
The two scholars were running with all their might, and suddenly saw a Yan Chixia in front of them, and they were immediately so frightened that they couldn't stop, and they almost fell to the ground.
After stabilizing his body a little, he shouted, "Ghost...... Hell!", he said, trying to run in the other direction.
It's just because Yan Chixia came to them very quickly, not like a mortal, and he has a black face and a beard, and his back to the torch at this time makes his face even more hideous.
Hearing the shouts of the two scholars, Yan Chixia frowned, and said in a deep voice: "What the hell! I think you are ghosts, ghosts crying wolves, it's really the right moment!"
The two of them were frightened, when they heard Yan Chixia speak, they looked intently, only to find that the big man in front of them was a person, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and half collapsed on the ground. But in the next second, he suddenly stood up and said, "Hero, help!"
Yan Chixia snorted coldly, glared at them, turned around and went back to the fire, and said as she walked, "What to save?"
When the two scholars saw that Yan Chixia had turned around and left, they hurriedly looked back and saw that there was no trace of the wolf behind them.
The two of them looked ashamed, so they hurriedly stepped forward and went to Yan Chixia's side to apologize to him.
Yan Chixia has been accustomed to people judging him by his appearance for many years, but she didn't take their offense to heart.
The two scholars found out that there were three people in this place, and they saw that they were all Eguanbo, with faces like crown jade, and Rao was the two of them who boasted of being romantic and graceful on weekdays, and they were also a little ashamed of themselves in front of the three of them. Shan
Seeing that Sun Xu seemed to be a scholar, the two flicked the soil on their bodies and stepped forward to talk to Sun Xu.
One of them is named Meng Longtan, a native of Jiangzhou, and the other is named Zhu Lian, a native of Kyoto, and the two met in Kyoto.
This time, Zhu Lian went to Jiangzhou with Meng Longtan as a guest, and then Meng Longtan returned to Kyoto with Zhu Lian, and he should take the exam next year.
Today, the two of them took a fork in the road, strayed into this mountain forest, and accidentally broke into the wolf's den for a while, causing the wolves to chase after them. Fang saw the fire flickering in the forest, and knew that someone was staying overnight, so he came this way.
"I don't know where the brothers are going?" Meng Longtan asked after saying the origin of the two.
Sun Xu pointed to the outside of the forest and said with a smile: "I'm going to Lanruo Temple in Guobei County." ”
When Zhu Lian heard this, his eyes lit up, he leaned forward, and asked, "Brother Tai, I heard that there are many strange things in Lanruo Temple, I don't know if it's true or not?"
Before Sun Xu could speak, Yan Chixia on the side said in a rough voice: "Boy, I advise you, don't think about going to Lanruo Temple, it's not peaceful there!"
When Zhu Lian heard this, he thought that Yan Chixia was still angry with them, so he lowered his head and whispered to Meng Longtan: "The fierce god is evil, who does he think he is." ”
Meng Longtan also whispered: "Brother Zhu, people just drove away the evil wolf and saved the two of us, so it's better not to slander others." ”
Zhu Lian pursed his lips and said in his heart: "Where is he driving away the wolf, it is obvious that the wolf is scared when he sees the fire here, so he retreats." But this sentence was swallowed in the stomach.
Meng Longtan saw that Zhu Lian lowered his head and didn't speak, knowing that he wanted to go to Lanruo Temple for a walk, so he said, "Brother Zhu, let's not go to Lanruo Temple." Although I am not a local, I have also heard many strange things about Lanruo Temple, and there are often ghost foxes who turn into women, absorbing people's spirit, and they can't go, they can't go. ”
Although Zhu Lian was curious, he was timid, and when he heard them say such evil, he tightened his clothes and sat on the ground to stop talking.
The group was here, talking without a partner, and soon it was dawn.
Sun Xu and Yan Chixia are all cultivators, and there is no big obstacle if they don't sleep all night, but these two scholars can't do it, and by the time dawn they are already groggy and almost untenable.
Fortunately, Sun Xu and the others were kind-hearted and gave them a horse to ride, and they soon arrived in Guobei County.
After thanking them repeatedly, they dismounted and prepared to go to the inn to rest.
After sending the two away, Sun Xu and others went to Fang Market to buy some things, added some forage to the horses, and then asked someone to inquire about the specific location of Lanruo Temple. After such a delay, in the afternoon, the group headed in the direction of Lanruo Temple.
The four of them walked along the main road, and in less than an hour, they reached the boundary of what the locals said.
After changing the path, about a quarter of an hour, I saw a stone tablet standing on the side of the road, which was engraved with three vigorous and powerful words: "Lanruo Temple".
Walking past the stone monument, there is a small stone path paved with small stones, and at the end of the road is the gate of the temple.
It's just that it seems that no one has cleaned up for a long time, and weeds are growing everywhere. It was early autumn at this time, and the grass was a little yellow.
The temple is surrounded by dense trees, all of which are luxuriant, and the branches are not as thick as normal trees, covering the world tightly. Even though it was still daylight at this time, the place was covered lifeless, which made people feel creepy.
A few steps further and a temple comes into view.
It's just that this temple has obviously been dilapidated for a long time, and even the two gates are gone, and I don't know if it has been unloaded by the nearby mountain people to burn firewood. There is a half-hanging plaque on the top of the doorway, and the stone tablet is the same, with the three words "Lanruo Temple" written on it, and the font is generally the same.
A few people were about to go inside, but a dark wind blew out of the door.
The wind drove the wind chimes under the eaves of the temple, and the bells rang.
Originally, the sound of the wind chimes sounded crisp and pleasant, but here and now, the sound was very sharp and harsh, which added a bit of weirdness to the place.
Ah Yi hurried to Sun Xu's side and said, "There is really something strange here, no wonder my mother will fall for evil here." ”
Ah Shi on the side immediately pulled out the saber he was carrying, and secretly slashed out at those branches, directly cutting off a few branches.
Those trees really became fine, and after the branches were cut off, they were probably afraid of being injured again, so they immediately shrank a few inches.
Without the layers of tree branches, the sun shone in a few rays, which made the place a little more vibrant.
