Liaozhai Great Sage

"Of course, if you can keep your mind steady and not be tempted by ghosts, then there will be very few ghosts and ghosts who can stop you." Li Xiuyuan said.

Xia Houwu nodded and was about to leave.

At this time, another man's voice sounded outside the temple: "Help, help, is there anyone here? Someone come help me."

"The monster must have appeared. I will kill it to avenge my revenge."

Xia Houwu's eyes lit up when he heard the voice, and he rushed out immediately.

"The voice seems familiar."

However, Li Xiuyuan was a little curious in his heart, and followed him to have a look.

At this moment, outside the temple, a scholar ran towards Lanruo Temple in panic, holding three or four lanterns.Behind him, there were three or five wild wolves closely following him, howling constantly, and waiting for the scholar to run out of strength, they would swarm him and share the food with him.

"Ah~!"

When the scholar came to Lanruo Temple, he was stumbled by the steps of the mountain gate, and fell to the ground with a cry of surprise. Three or four lanterns were all extinguished immediately, and the surroundings suddenly became dark. Only the moonlight in the sky barely allowed him to see. See pairs of glowing green eyes in the dark night.

"Susu."

Seeing the opportunity, the hungry wolves behind him swarmed up, ready to prey on the scholar.

"Who is it, still wandering around in the wilderness in the middle of the night."

Just when the hungry wolf was about to pounce, a drunken loud voice rang out, but the gate of the temple was kicked open with a bang, and a burly bearded man came out with a sword in his hand.

"Wolf go away."

When Yan Chixia saw that the hungry wolf was about to eat people, she immediately pulled out her sword and threw it. As the sword flew out, she shot through the hungry wolf in front of her, and then rushed over to kill the other hungry wolves. Using his martial arts to deal with these hungry wolves is as easy as killing chickens and dogs.

However, before they could get close, the rest of the hungry wolves all slipped away seeing that the situation was not good.

"Bah, such a cowardly wolf thought it was a dog." Yan Chixia said unhappily seeing the wild wolf slipping away.

"You, a powerless scholar, what are you doing here so late? Leave quickly, this is not the place for you."

After sizing up the scholar, seeing that he was an ordinary person with no hands, Yan Chixia immediately told him to leave.

Although the attitude is bad, it is for his own good.

"Ning Caichen, Wansheng, thank you for this strong man's rescue. Wansheng just wants to stay in the temple for one night, and he will never disturb your temple. Please accommodate me." Ning Caichen hurriedly saluted.

"I am not the owner of this temple. All the monks in this temple have died. Now it is an empty temple, an abandoned temple. I also stayed here, but there are unclean things here. If you don't want to die, you should leave quickly. Yan Chixia took the sword, turned and left.

He is not a mother-in-law, and he doesn't like to persuade people.

"What is Yan Chixia talking about with this monster? How could someone be walking outside in the middle of the night? It must have been transformed into a ghost. Let me slash him with a sword and let him reveal his true colors." At this time, Xia Houwu heard the sound, Seeing the scholar Ning Caichen, he just regarded him as a ghost, and immediately drew his sword and stabbed Ning Caichen.

"Keng~!"

There was a collision sound, and Yan Chixia blocked the sword.

"Brother Xiahou, do you not distinguish between human beings and ghosts? This is an ordinary person. If you kill him, you will kill a good person by mistake." Yan Chixia said.

"What, he's human?" Xia Houwu asked in surprise.

"Of course it's a human being. He doesn't have a demonic or ghostly aura about him. He's not a human being." Yan Chixia said.

"He is indeed a human being, not a ghost or a monster, but a good friend of mine, his name is Ning Caichen, he is a child student, um, maybe he is already a scholar."

Li Xiuyuan came over, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw Ning Caichen.

It's too coincidental, all the characters are gathered together, and it's just a good show.

"Li, Mr. Li."

Ning Caichen was both surprised and happy when he saw Li Xiuyuan: "Mr. Li, why are you here? Didn't you go back to Guobei County?"

"I came here on purpose to kill monsters. Of course I'm here. If it's you, aren't you staying in Guo Beicheng? Why do you come here?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Ning Caichen said; "Xiaosheng was copying books in Jibaozhai before. This morning, the shopkeeper entrusted me to come to Guo Beicheng to collect the bill because his subordinates were out of control. It happened that there was something to tell Mr. Li, so Xiaosheng That’s why it’s dealt with.”

"What is it?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"It's a matter of publishing the list. Because of the plague, the imperial court chose to release the list in Jinling City this time. The text of the list has already come down. Mr. Li probably doesn't know about it. Many scholars in the city have gone to Jinling City to read the list. " Ning Caichen said.

"So that's the case, I'm sorry you came here to let me know." Li Xiuyuan said gratefully.

Ning Caichen was a little flattered and said: "Just a word in passing, Mr. Li, you are being polite."

"Since he's not a monster, where is the real monster hiding?" Xia Houwu said a little irritable.

Yan Chixia said: "Who knows, there is a monster smell everywhere here, it must be the lair of monsters, the tree monster will appear sooner or later, just be patient and wait."

"Waiting like this is not an option. We need a bait to lure the tree demon to appear. This bait must be an ordinary person, so as not to arouse the vigilance of ghosts." Li Xiuyuan touched his chin and said.

bait?

Good idea~!

moment.

Xia Houwu, Yan Chixia, and Li Xiuyuan all looked at Ning Caichen in unison.

"??" Ning Caichen looked blank.

Chapter 238 Nie Xiaoqian

In the courtyard of the meditation room of Lanruo Temple.

A frail looking, honest scholar was walking in the yard holding a scroll at this moment, reading a few lines of poetry from time to time.

"The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground."

"Don't you see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky..."

The first sentence of the poem did not match the last sentence, his voice was a little trembling, he looked around, constantly paying attention to every move around him, seeing how nervous he was, he didn't even know that he had turned the book in his hand backwards.

Lanterns were inserted in the four corners of the yard, and the candlelight reflected inside made it appear that the surroundings were not dim.

It's just that there is no sound in this temple, there is no one, and the surrounding is a bit strangely quiet.

"No, there really won't be evil spirits that eat people, right?" Ning Caichen was so frightened that he died.

He is a timid person, and he is even more afraid of this ghost. He even had to wear three lanterns before walking at night before he dared to walk.

"Mr. Li, where are you? Don't go too far away." Ning Caichen walked in the yard for less than half an hour, then he couldn't resist anymore and started to shout.
