Guobei County, the county seat, Ning Caichen and Wang Sheng walked into the county seat of Dongyan County together, the streets were full of people, the vendors were pawns, the sound of bargaining next to the stalls was endless, although the famine and plague in winter plundered Dongyan County, but in these county seats, you can still feel a trace of prosperity.

The rain had stopped for a while, Xiahou left alone, Ning Caichen and Wang Sheng came to the county seat together, Wang Sheng was relieved, because in the face of Xiahou, he had a lot of pressure, he was born a timid character, and in the face of Xiahou's decisive swordsman, he was very weak-hearted.

A group of three people came to the county seat, found an inn to live in, washed up, and came to a hotel for dinner, at this time it was ten o'clock in the afternoon, about five o'clock.

"Little two, two servings of beef, two servings of greens, and a plate of peanuts. ”

"Okay, the guest officer will come soon. ”

After ordering a few dishes, he sat down with Wang Sheng at a table at the door, and there were many customers in the store, almost all of them were full, and there was no shortage of hair.

"Guest, your dish, please use it slowly. ”

Soon, the dishes were served, two portions of beef, two portions of green vegetables, a plate of peanuts, the color and flavor are complete, I have to say, the ancient dishes are still good, and the amount is sufficient, a plate of beef, about a pound of meat.

"By the way, Xiao Er, I want to ask you something. ”

Ning Caichen stopped Xiao Er, who was leaving.

"What do you command? Xiao Er's attitude was very good, and he bowed down and asked.

"I don't know if you know Lanruo Temple. ”

"Lanruo Temple!"

That knows, Ning Caichen's words fell, but Xiao'er couldn't help but exclaim, hearing Xiao Er's exclamation, even the other diners around were attracted and looked at Ning Caichen.

"What's wrong, what's wrong. Ning Caichen asked, looking at Xiao Er, and found that there was an unconcealable horror in the latter's eyes.

"What did the guest officer ask about this place? Xiao Er's eyes flickered twice, gritted his teeth and said: "Don't hide it from the guest officer, that place can't be visited, haunted, but fierce, everyone who went there is dead, and no living person has ever returned." ”

"Is it really so fierce?" Ning Caichen was surprised, for Lanruo Temple, he has always had a different emotion in his heart, if there is really such a thing as obsession, he feels that Lanruo Temple should be the obsession in his heart, maybe he has become Ning Caichen, or maybe he has been influenced by "A Chinese Ghost Story" in his previous life.

As the classic line says -- what is the most tenacious parasite? bacteria, viruses? no! neither, but the mind. A thought, if implanted in your mind, may not feel anything at first, but it will take root in your mind, and when it explodes, you can't avoid it, and it will drown you like a tide.

Similarly, for Lanruo Temple, Ning Caichen has an obsession in his heart, he wants to take a look, this is an obsession in his mind, and he can't avoid it.

"I've heard people say that it's not only haunted, but also monsters and cannibals, but you can't go!"

Xiao Er's face was a little scared, obviously very taboo about Lanruo Temple, and even said that his face was unnatural there, but Xiao Er's person was quite kind, and reminded Ning Caichen many times not to go to that place.

"I'm sorry for you, you take this, settle the bill for me, and the rest of the money will be given to you. ”

In fact, Xiao Er didn't know much, he asked some of what he wanted, and when he learned the specific place of Lanruo Temple, Ning Caichen didn't say more, took out a silver coin and handed it to Xiao Er, and the latter's eyes lit up-

"Thank you, guest. ”

After saying thank you, Xiao Er left happily, a silver coin, even if he paid for the wine and food, there were still thirty or forty copper coins left, which was a small fortune for him, and the other diners around looked at Ning Caichen's side intentionally or unintentionally, some of them were ill-intentioned, such as a few people in the green forest with swords on their bodies in the left corner, seeing the silver coin that Ning Caichen had just taken out, they had the heart of robbing money, and there were also some strange thoughts, because Ning Caichen just said that Lanruo Temple, for Guobei County, Lanruo Temple is a sensitive place, which makes people taboo。

"Brother Ning is planning to go to Lanruo Temple. ”

At the dinner table, Wang Sheng had been paying attention to Ning Caichen and asked.

"Well, Xiahou and Yan Chixia should be competing there tonight, I want to go and see. Ning Caichen said half-truthfully, then looked at Wang Sheng and asked, "Do you want to go with Brother Wang?" ”

"Ahem, cough, cough"

Ning Caichen's words fell, and Wang Sheng choked on the wine he had just drunk into his throat, and said with embarrassment-

"I'm not going, I'm tired from a long journey, and I want to have a good night's rest. ”

After listening, Ning Caichen nodded with a smile, and didn't say more, he didn't plan to take Wang Sheng at all, just asked which sentence was just a joke that suddenly rose in his heart, he knew Wang Sheng too well, this thing is not cowardly, a Xiahou will make him afraid, not to mention a haunted Lanruo Temple, give him ten guts, this goods may not dare to go.

Smiled and ate with peace of mind, and after more than twenty minutes, the two walked out of the restaurant, but found that the corner on the right was full of people.

"Let's go over and see. ”

Wang Sheng belongs to people with strong curiosity, and said when he saw this.

"Okay. ”

Anyway, it's okay now, he plans to wait a while and then go to Lanruo Temple, it's not bad to go over and have a look now, and he noticed that the few green forest people who had been paying attention to him in the restaurant just now also quietly followed him out

"You have so many pears, why not give one to the old way. ”

"No, no, no, this pear was planted by me fortunately, and my family relied on these pears to buy a living, if you want one, others also want one, then my family is not hungry"

"Immeasurable Tianzun, why should the donor be so stingy, the old Taoist is just begging for a pear to eat. ”

"That's it, that's it, if you see the tattered old Taoist priest, just take it as a good deed and give someone one."

"It's too stingy, I was going to buy two of these pears, but I didn't expect it to be so stingy, so I didn't buy it"

Ning Caichen and Wang Sheng squeezed in, and when they saw a farmer dressed in gray linen and a dark complexion, he picked two baskets of pears, and an old Taoist priest who was dressed in tatters and had gray hair.

Ning Caichen looked at the farmer, he looked like he was in his forties, his skin was dark, his face was sallow, full of wrinkles, his body was a little thin, his hands were covered with calluses, most of them were known about the hardships of life, and the old Taoist priest was also worn in tatters all his life, but his eyes were very bright, and his face was ruddy, giving people a feeling of crane hair and childish face.

"I just need a pear, okay?"

The old Taoist priest seemed to recognize it and pestered the farmer.

"No, I can't. ”

The farmer didn't agree at all, these pears were his family's source of income, how could he be willing to give them for free.
