The mottled and decaying city gates and rammed earth walls of less than 5 meters are also cracked. Finally, before the sun went down, Zhou Bai rushed to this slightly dilapidated town, and before he entered the city gate, he already felt that this town was full of turbidity.

"What are you doing? It's time to close the gates. If you want to go in, you either have to wait for tomorrow or pay the money. Two people wearing gray coats dangled from the card field on the side of the road and stopped Zhou Bai.

"Teaching at the Yingchuan Academy in Xianai, going out to study, and now that the sun has not set, how can you say that it is going to be closed?" Zhou Bai found on the road that Gui Wu had arranged his identity for him, and he had a document and a travel certificate from Yingchuan Academy. As a student with a backstage, Zhou Bai said that he has more confidence than a poor family. With a straight look, his eyes were like torches, and he slightly exuded a trace of grandeur, and the two ruffians felt a chill on their backs, and hurriedly lowered their heads and staggered Zhou Bai's gaze. This scholar is terrifying, by no means very human, this kind of dignified aura has only been seen in the county commander, isn't it... The two made eye contact, and one of them hurriedly said, "It turns out to be the master of Yingchuan Academy, please come in, please come in." "I didn't even dare to look at the paperwork and got out of the way. It wasn't until Zhou Bai had already walked away that he dared to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, "Old knife, what kind of person is this, how do you feel like seeing an official master, I don't dare to raise my head." "The teaching of Yingchuan Academy, this is terrible, I'm afraid that the county commander will have to salute when he sees it, as if what kind of chicken wine they have over there is a teacher of the official family." "That's... Let's be okay like this, right?" "It's okay, Lao Tzu has been a soldier for 20 years, as long as he doesn't make big mistakes, no one can do anything about Lao Tzu." The soldier named Lao Dao patted the saber in his hand, "This is the knife that Lao Tzu slaughtered the Huns at the border back then, when Lao Tzu slaughtered thirty-one Huns, and the heads were dragged all the way to General Zuo to receive the reward." "Then how did you get assigned here?" "Horse, Lao Tzu fought bravely to kill the enemy, but he just fell in love with a girl, and he was just strong, and he was actually kicked out of the barracks and sent to this place where birds don't to guard the door." Lao Tzu has killed so many enemies, what happened to the last girl.......?"

Because it was almost dark, the road was extremely deserted, only when passing through a few alleys, I heard the sound of weapons fighting inside, it seemed that it was staggered with Ning Caichen, or find a place to settle down first, came to the only inn in the town, and ordered a few small dishes to send to the room after asking for a room. "Guest officer, please don't come out and walk around at night, the town is not very peaceful. ”

"Oh?" Zhou Bai was a little surprised, this black-hearted innkeeper would actually remind himself, "What's the matter? Could it be that there are bandits in the town?" "There are bandits, but you can rest assured that you will not be killed and kidnapped here." After all, what we're doing here is the business of settling people. The boss was a little hesitant, "There seems to be a little dirty thing in the town, but it's nothing for the martial artists to be vigorous, a scholar like you, it's better not to go out at night." Zhou Bai wanted to ask about Lanruo Temple, and when he saw the shopkeeper's expression, he probably couldn't ask anything, so he would wait for Ning Caichen to come back tomorrow and ask for the account.

After a night without words, when the sky was bright, Zhou Bai had already gotten up to read in the morning, facing the first rays of sunshine in the morning, reciting the song of righteousness, a stream of purple qi shone into the body with the sun, feeling the interweaving and blending of Haoran righteousness and purple qi. The next thing is to get acquainted with Ning Caichen and learn the means of the Dryad. There is also Yan Chixia, I don't know if I can learn something, although I have a way to raise a sword, but there is no magic sword, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

After sitting quietly in the room for a long time, a thought suddenly occurred in his heart, he should have been waiting for the person to arrive, pushed the door out, and when he walked to the hall, he happened to see the innkeeper arguing with a young scholar, the shopkeeper didn't know what he heard, his face was pale, trembling, and handed the scholar seventy taels of silver. Zhou Bai said secretly, presumably this is Ning Caichen, and after looking at it, he found that Ning Caichen looked seven or eight points similar to the movie, but he was a little more haggard and thin, and there was a yin qi between his eyebrows entangled with a weak literary qi.

"Shopkeeper, why are you so panicked, isn't it related to what this son said about Lanruo Temple?"

"Zhou... Public... Child.... No..... It's okay, it's okay. The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat on his head, turned his head and said to Ning Caichen, "The account has been received, and I won't leave yet!" Ning Caichen put away the silver and nodded to Zhou Bai, and then was about to turn around and leave.

"This son doesn't know where to go?" Zhou Bai stopped Ning Caichen.

"I don't know what happened to Your Excellency?" Ning Caichen was a little surprised that he was stopped by a stranger, and the wind and rain on the way to collect the accounts made him a little more guarded, but the elegant aura on the other party surprised him, this kind of temperament was only felt in a few old teachers when Guozijian was studying.

"I heard that there is a ruins of Lanruo Temple around Guobei, and I want to go to Jing for a few days, I wonder if Gongzi can take me there?"

"This ........" Ning Caichen wanted to refuse, because the other party's reason was obviously not pure, and he didn't know what the purpose was. But last night's shocking glimpse haunted me, and my heart seemed to remain on that woman, the more mysterious and dangerous it was, the more inextricable it became. "Okay, it just so happens that I'm going back to Lanruo Temple too. ”

"Thank you, childe. Zhou Bai saw hesitation and resoluteness in Ning Caichen's eyes. Is there really love at first sight in this world? Alas, the separation of yin and yang is incompatible, is Ning Caichen really stupid, presumably he sensed that something was wrong on the first night, but he was willing to sink. The self-deception of the two is probably one of the reasons for their mutual attraction.

Accompanied Ning Caichen to the painting shop, Zhou Bai already knew that the picture of the lady had been retrieved by Nie Xiaoqian, "Although I don't know what the painting is, but in my opinion, your fate has not been broken, and you can meet again in these two days." "Thank you, Gongzi Zhou. ”

Walking to the official road, Zhou Bai, who was strolling leisurely, and Ning Caichen, who was preoccupied, had nothing to talk about, and when they walked out of the official road and came to the woods, it was already dusk again, and a strong yin qi was tentatively pouring out from the woods. Although Haoran's righteous qi is full of yin qi, he is also too sensitive to this uncomfortable breath, and ordinary people will feel cold, but for him, he really has to endure the idea of purifying it, pretending to be an ordinary scholar and Ning Caichen into this forest like a giant beast opening its mouth.

"Zhou Gongzi, let's hurry up, there are wild beasts in the deep forest at night, and it is not safe. Ning Caichen was a little frightened and a little impatient. Zhou Bai released a trace of breath to coerce the demonic wolf not far away. He Ning Caichen came to the Lanruo Temple in the depths of the forest, the ruins and broken walls everywhere, the moss covered the stone tablet, and there was only one word in the three words of Lanruo Temple, which was faintly covered like a "bitter".

"There's also a very fierce beard here. Yan Daochang!!Yan Daochang !! "I didn't hear the wolf howl along the way, which made Ning Caichen a little relaxed, and after coming to Lanruo Temple, he introduced another guest here, Yan Chixia, to Zhou Bai.

"What are you arguing about?I don't want to live anymore!!!" A bearded swordsman who looked like Wu Ma walked out of the side hall, "You scholar, you have said that you don't want to come here again, and if you still don't listen, do you want to die?"

"This is Zhou Gongzi, who wants to read here for a few days. Ning Caichen hurriedly said, "Master Zhou, you talk first." I still have something to do, so I'll go out first. ”

"Eh, stupid scholar, are you looking for death, where do you want to go?" Yan Chixia wanted to pull Ning Caichen back, although he thought he was both righteous and evil, but he didn't want ordinary people to die next to him like this. "Yan Daochang, stay. Zhou Bai took a step forward to block Yan Chixia, "Everyone has their own fate, and he did this because of his own fate." Destiny is the case, life and death are not hindered. ”

"Who are you?" Yan Chixia looked at the young man beside her who needed to be quiet for a few days.

"Yingchuan Academy teaches Zhou Bai. Zhou Bai flicked his sleeves and said, "I heard that the evil spirit of Lanruo Temple is rampant, so I came to get rid of the demon." ”

"Yingchuan Academy?Confucian?" Yan Chixia frowned, "Hmph, don't be ashamed, you still plan to use benevolence, righteousness, and etiquette to educate demons?"

"Although I am a Confucian, I only cultivate my own heart. Zhou Bai smiled: "Where the heart is going, is where the Tao is." ”

"I said where did you get your self-confidence, it turned out that you have cultivated the Haoran righteousness that has been lost for hundreds of years. Yan Chixia looked at Zhou Bai in surprise, and the aura gushing out of Zhou Bai's body made his sword path a little dignified. "Since you know there are ghosts here, why don't you stop that stupid scholar. ”

"This is his fate and his destiny. ”

Zhou Bai turned around and looked into the depths of the forest, as if through the endless fog and woods, he saw the small pavilion, that tear.

The bonfire in the hall was lit, and Zhou Bai and Yan Chixia waited for Ning Caichen, who had returned from loss.

"Boy, the yin qi on your body is even heavier when you go out, and there is a demonic qi entangled. ”

"What a demonic and yin. I don't know what you're talking about!" Ning Caichen's mood was as cold as his soaked clothes. Leaning against the pillar, looking at the bonfire that doesn't feel the temperature.

"Don't you really know?" Zhou Bai said with a smile, "Barren mountains and mountains, how can there be deep mansions and courtyards, like beautiful flowers." ”

"How do you know?!!" Ning Caichen looked at Zhou Bai in surprise, Zhou Bai's smile made him feel angry, as if he had all been seen through by the other party. "How do you know about Xiaoqian!"

"I don't know Xiaoqian, I just know that you are too eager. Frightened and curious, his eyes are full of obsession. ”

Yes, I should have known a long time ago that Xiao Qian is not a person, but I still want to be with her so much! Ning Caichen obviously knows that everything Xiao Qian does is to make herself give up her, but I know that I don't want to give up! I want to be with her!!

"Please help me save Xiaoqian!" Ning Caichen's eyes showed a light of hope, "I want to be with her!"

"Not enough, not enough......." Zhou Bai shook his head and went out with his sleeves brushed up.

"How can people and ghosts be together!Hmph, ghosts are confused!!" Yan Chixia left the hall angrily.

No, I'm going to go to her, I'm going to tell her what I want, I like her whether she's a human or a ghost.

Zhou Bai looked at Ning Caichen who stumbled into the depths of the forest and smiled, the fetters are not enough, how can they be regarded as a Chinese ghost story? The more calamities, the deeper the entanglement between the two people. Before you do that, you have to find a reason to enter.

Xiao Qian!Xiao Qian!! A confused back not far away made Ning Caichen very happy, and hurriedly ran over, Qianying turned around, but it was a strange woman, vaguely as if she had seen it in Xiao Qian's room. The woman's face turned blue, as if she was smiling, her two fangs were exposed, and her eyes like looking at a dead man made Ning Caichen feel terrified.

"Yes... I'm sorry. Recognize the wrong person. Ning Caichen took a few steps back and turned around to leave.

"Ah!" the woman's eyes were green, her nails bulged, and she flew up and flew towards Ning Caichen.

"Longtao, you...... It's time to get out of the game. Zhou Bai walked out from the side, blocked in front of the female ghost, and pointed out. The moment the female ghost's nails touched Zhou Bai, it seemed that the ice and snow melted and the yin qi dissipated, and the "ah!!" female ghost was pointed on the forehead by a finger in pain, and instantly turned into ashes. "Is this Haoran righteousness? Sure enough, it's an evil nemesis, a ghost and a god. Yan Chixia, who was watching the play in the treetops, floated down, "Are you making fun of me? I'm afraid that a bandit with a knife can kill me." I'm afraid a hundred of them won't be enough for you to fight alone, right?" Zhou Bai smiled bitterly.

I don't know how far I ran, Ning Caichen didn't dare to look back, and subconsciously returned to the original small pavilion, until he was pulled by Xiao Qian, who suddenly appeared, and stopped to gasp. "Xiao Qian!I..." "Cai Chen, I....""Xiao Qian, I'll say it first." Ning Caichen stopped Nie Xiaoqian, "I like you!" "Actually, I'm not a human" "I know! I like you!" "I'm not a human, I'm a ghost." "I know, I like you!" ..........

Small pavilion tulle, a Chinese ghost story.
