The old pavilion master nodded and said, "The old man doesn't know when Xiu Ru and they will be able to come back, so he has always ordered people to wait here and not leave without permission." Among them, there is a man named Kong Siqi, who the old man said before that before the disciple went to that world, he replaced the disciple. Would you like to call the Taoist chief over and ask about the situation?"

Zhao Xuan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, since he hasn't gone deep into that world, he hasn't been out of the forest, and he can't understand anything useful." ”

The old pavilion master sighed: "It's still wise to be a Taoist, in the past few years, the old man has called him to his side several times and asked him what he had seen in that world. Even word-for-word, paragraph by paragraph, analysis failed to analyze any useful information. At this point, the old man can't compare to the Tao. ”

"Why should the old pavilion master be humble, you just care about the chaos, and you haven't been to that world, and the poor road is not taking advantage of the convenience you have been. Zhao Xuan said and began to look at the cave.

The cave was very different from when he left, and the rocks had already been cleared, revealing the lines underneath.

Seeing this, the master of Confucius Pavilion said: "Is the Taoist chief these lines of a human being? The old man is not talented, he has studied for more than ten years, and he has rummaged through countless classics, but he has not found out the origin of this pattern. It is said that this should be the embodiment of the sage of Guigu, but it is not even recorded in the books left by the first block, and it really makes no sense. ”

Zhao Xuan shook his head and said: "I think it should be realized after Guiguzi left, and the poor Dao has never known it, otherwise ten years ago, the poor Dao would have studied it." ”

"How is that Dao Elder going to go to that world?" asked the Old Pavilion Master Kong again.

Zhao Xuan asked rhetorically, "I don't know what Kong Lao did before?"

The old pavilion master Kong did not hide it, and said: "It is nothing more than the key to finding the law or order, according to the residual breath of the lotus platform and the cultivation of Confucianism. Go back to the roots. The breath finds its way to the space they left behind. However, the result of this method has already been told by the old man. Either they were moved away, or they were sent to the future, and they couldn't go to that world at all. I don't know how long it is?"

Zhao Xuan smiled and said, "Without him, it's the same as the method of the old pavilion master Kong, but ...... Poor Dao is not looking for order!" After speaking, he seemed to have found something, his expression was dark, and his eyes were shining. Point to a point in the void.

Since the last time he crossed, the power of time and space accumulated in his body erupted out, only to hear a soft click in the dark, Zhao Xuan's finger pointed, and it shattered, revealing a black hole with a diameter of one meter.

The edge of the black hole flashes with white light, and the inside is pitch black, exuding a mysterious aura, and I don't know where it is connected.

Zhao Xuan turned his head and smiled leisurely, and said, "Old Pavilion Master Kong, would you like to follow the poor road to take a look?" After speaking, he turned around and saw that the black hole was shrinking rapidly, without waiting for Old Pavilion Master Kong to answer. He jumped into the black hole.

Old Pavilion Master Kong hesitated for a while. He really wanted to go over and have a look, but he was afraid that if he was away from this world for too long, the human race would be uncertain. Just as he was hesitating, the black hole had turned from a meter in diameter to the size of a fist, and then the fingers and needle tips disappeared completely with a pop.

Yes, this time I can't go if I want to.

......

A familiar feeling of dizziness hit, and when Zhao Xuan opened his eyes again, what appeared in front of him was not a familiar and identical cave, but a green mountain, and a temple that looked extremely luxurious and magnificent under the sunset not far away.

He immediately shone his inner light, and sure enough, a star had already appeared in the Xuanzhu, faintly glowing, it seemed that it was the same as the last time, before going to the world of Guigu Linghou, he had to come to the Xuanzhu world first.

Thinking that the last time, whether it was Immortal Sword or Shushan, he only stayed for a while, and then he would go back, and he didn't plan to walk around this time.

It's just that when he was bored and looked over the temple not far away again, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the plaque on the temple.

I saw that on the plaque, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced with three big red characters written - Lanruo Temple!

A Chinese Ghost Story?

It must be known that these two have the stories of Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian, but the story versions are very different. It's not just a story. On the other hand, A Chinese Ghost Story is just a love story between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian. If you extrapolate according to common sense, it is absolutely impossible to revolve around just these two people, and it is more likely that they are talking about different things. But on the other hand, even if there are other stories in this world, it is very likely that they are different from Liaozhaizhi, so it can't be Liaozhaizhi.

Thinking of this, he finally decided to go forward and take a look first, so as to decide whether to enter this world first in the future, or the one that would appear when he returned.

When I walked to the front of Lanruo Temple, I saw that the temple gate was half closed and half hidden. Push the door and walk in, the temple nave tower is magnificent, but the basil grows taller than a person, as if no one has been here for a long time. The doors of the monks' houses on the east and west sides are hidden, except for a small house on the south side, and the door lock seems to be new. Look at the east corner of the temple, there are bushes full of thick bamboos, and under the steps there is a large pool, which is full of wild lotus flowers. In the oblique light of the sunset, everything seems quiet and silent, and there is no expected ghostly atmosphere.

Zhao Xuanzheng was surprised, and suddenly the sound of footsteps came from behind him, and he slowly approached. He turned his head and saw a scholar walking over, with a burly figure and a good face, and couldn't help but think: Could it be Ning Caichen? It's not like it, shouldn't Ning Caichen be powerless, why does he look so strong.

Just thinking about it, the scholar had already come closer, Zhao Xuan didn't think about it anymore, besides, it was better to ask directly if he thought too much, made a gesture, and said: "Poor Dao Zhao Taixuan, I've seen this brother, but I don't know the surname of brother?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the scholar's eyes: "Daoist?" looked Zhao Xuan up and down, returned the salute, and said, "In Xia Yan Chixia, I have seen the Taoist master!"

Zhao Xuan's heart moved, and he had a little understanding of this world.

Yan Chixia in A Chinese Ghost Story is a sloppy swordsman with a full beard, but in the midst of chatting about different things, Yan Chixia dresses up as a scholar. Since the person in front of him calls himself Yan Chixia, it seems that this world should be a world of strange things.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Brother Yan lives here, I don't know if I can let Poor Dao spend the night." ”

While speaking, another scholar appeared in the temple, who was extremely handsome and had the color of wind and dust on his body. Thinking that he was also a passer-by, but a little earlier than Zhao Xuanlai, before Zhao Xuan came, he had come to the temple and walked in the temple.

Seeing Zhao Xuan and Yan Chixia, the scholar hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Xiaosheng Ning Caichen, I went to Jinhua on the road, but I didn't expect to catch up with the school envoy to hold an exam, and the housing prices in the city are expensive, so I want to stay here." I saw that the monks of this temple were all hidden, and only the road had become a deserted temple. When I came back from a walk, I saw that this small house in the south was newly locked, and it must be the residence of the two brothers? It was getting late, and there was not much money left on Xiaosheng's body, so I hoped that the two brothers could let Xiaosheng stay overnight, and Xiaosheng should be grateful!"

When Zhao Xuan heard this, he was even more sure of the speculation in his heart: Ning Caichen in the Chinese Ghost Story could not collect the debts and had nowhere to return, so he had no choice but to stay overnight in Lanruo Temple. But the Ning Caichen in front of him, in his words, there was no depression or depression, and his eyes were extremely clear. It seems that this is really a world of strange things.

At this time, Yan Chixia also walked into the temple and said, "You don't have to be like this, this temple has been abandoned for a long time, and there is no owner, so I live here temporarily." If the two of them don't like this desolate place and are willing to stay, they will be very happy in the next place. ”

"Great!" Ning Caichen was extremely happy, said hello to Zhao Xuan and Yan Chixia, and went to get some straw, carried it into a monk's room, spread it on the ground as a bed, and put a wooden board as a table, looking like he planned to live here for a long time.

In the chat about Zhai Zhiwei, he should also come to Jinhua this time to catch the exam, but Zhao Xuan is not interested in him, but is more interested in Yan Chixia.

Seeing that Yan Chixia wanted to go back to the room to rest, his eyes moved, he followed with a smile, and asked: "Brother Guan Tai is dressed, isn't he also a scholar who is rushing to take the exam?" It's just that Brother Tai lives in such a deserted temple, aren't you afraid of ghosts in the temple?"

Clinker, Yan Chixia didn't answer yet, but this sentence was heard by Ning Caichen, and he rushed to say: "Brother Tai is laughing, Zi Bu is strange and confused, this is Lang Lang, how can there be any ghosts?"

Yan Chixia originally wanted to say something, but when she heard Ning Caichen say this, she changed her words again, and said with a smile: "Daoist don't worry, just like this little brother said, this is Lang Lang, where can there be any ghosts......?" Deprecating?

Ning Caichen only knew Zhao Xuan's identity at this time, after all, he was not a traditional Taoist robe, and he did not hold a dust whisk in his hand. At this time, he was called by Yan Chixia, and only then did he suddenly realize and said: "But it was Xiaosheng's rudeness, the Taoist belongs to the Taoist, and he believes in ghosts and gods the most, so it's no wonder that the Taoist has asked before." ”

Zhao Xuan secretly glared at the other party, bastard, don't intervene if you don't know anything. There are no ghosts, look at you to marry a ghost daughter-in-law in the future!

You must know that Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian in Liaozhai Strange Tales have different endings from A Chinese Ghost Story.

In A Chinese Ghost Story, Nie Xiaoqian is also reincarnated no matter what. But in the midst of chatting about the differences, Nie Xiaoqian followed Ning Caichen home, became Ning Caichen's daughter-in-law, and gave birth to a baby to Ning Caichen.

Although I don't know how people and ghosts can give birth to babies, but it is written in the book, the world should also develop like that, right?

It's just a pity that Ning Caichen was so interrupted, and it seemed a bit deliberate to try Yan Chixia's words again.

Helpless, anyway, there is still time in the future, and I am not in a hurry for this time. Zhao Xuan said goodbye to Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia, and also chose a monk's room, walked in, cleaned it slightly, and sat cross-legged on the ground waiting to cross back.

It took him one night to travel back to the Immortal Sword World before, but it only took less than ten minutes for Shushan to cross over. He didn't know if there was a pattern in this, but thinking about it, it wouldn't be too long to be traveled back this time. But he didn't expect that until the moon was in the middle of the sky, he didn't wait to cross, but he waited for a fight. (To be continued.) )
