Liaozhai Great Sage

If he hadn't worn this jade belt back then, he would have continued to be his rich young master, married wives and concubines, and obtained fame in the examinations. How could he fight these monsters to the death, and these monsters are not ordinary monsters.

Either a monster who has practiced for hundreds of years, or a monster who has practiced for thousands of years.

After speaking, he looked at the wooden blocks left by the dryad's grandmother on the ground.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Although the dryad is dead, in order to prevent the dryad from resurfacing, let's set it on fire." Then, he took out a bucket of kerosene and poured it on, and picked up a piece of wood from the side. The dead branches, whose roots were still burning, ignited the fire.

The dryad's trunk made a crackling sound in the raging fire, and a lot of scarlet blood continued to radiate from it, carrying a stench.

"Haha, this fire was well lit, and it burned away a great disaster in the world. This matter is finally settled. Brother Xiahou, let's go back to the temple. This scholar still owes me three jars of wine. I will drink as much as I can with you today." I'll be drunk all night." Yan Chixia laughed loudly.

He is very nervous, so he doesn't feel so much emotion, he only knows that he is a little tired from eliminating demons, and wants to go back to drink and sleep.

"Okay, today we will compete to see who gets drunk first." Xia Houwu readily agreed.

Li Xiuyuan scanned the surroundings, and after making sure that nothing happened, he got on his horse and left the back mountain on his dragon horse.

After the tree demon was wiped out, the originally gloomy back mountain became less gloomy, and the previously dark sky also regained its brightness. Although it was night, the stars were still shining brightly, and the moon was hanging high. What a beautiful place night scene.

When he passed a cemetery.

Suddenly, I saw a woman in white clothes sitting on a grave mound. She looked melancholy and had many scars all over her body, as if she had been whipped.

"Nie Xiaoqian?" Li Xiuyuan recognized her immediately.

Nie Xiaoqian regained her composure and said, "I have met Mr. Li, thank you Mr. Li for taking action to eliminate grandma, so that I was able to get out of trouble and return to freedom."

"This is what I promised, and I will naturally do it. You are free now, why are you still sitting here sullen." Li Xiuyuan said.

"When Lanruo Temple was still there, I listened to monks chanting scriptures every night, and I devoted myself to practicing. Now that everything is gone, what can I do if I am free." Nie Xiaoqian said: "I am here waiting for Mr. Li I bid farewell to Mr. Li."

"Where are you going?" Li Xiuyuan asked with a change of expression.

Nie Xiaoqian said: "Since being a ghost is so painful, I'd better reincarnate. If there is a destiny in the next life, I will repay Mr. Li's great kindness."

After finishing speaking, he walked down the mound and prepared to leave.

"You're gone, what about Ning Caichen? He likes you very much." Li Xiuyuan said.

"He was just confused by my physical appearance, he didn't really love me, besides, I just met him by chance, but Mr. Li reminded me rightly, I should say goodbye to him before leaving, lest I leave without saying goodbye, making him think I failed him, after all I took the initiative to seduce him." Nie Xiaoqian said quietly.

"Since you have decided to reincarnate, go for it. This is a good thing. I should congratulate you." Li Xiuyuan nodded with a calm face.

This is indeed Nie Xiaoqian's ending.

In the end, she was reincarnated, and she didn't stay with anyone.

Just because of his appearance, the relationship between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian was not so deep before.

That's fine, Ning Caichen, who is in the province, is infatuated with Nie Xiaoqian, and has been waiting hard, but failed to fulfill his wish.

Nie Xiaoqian gave Li Xiuyuan a last salute, glanced at him gratefully, then hid her figure, turned into a gust of dark wind and blew towards Lanruo Temple.

The cloudy wind blew past, turned around in the mid-air, and blew into a meditation room in Lanruo Temple.

Ning Caichen who was sleeping on the couch immediately had a dream in a daze.

In the dream, someone was standing in the courtyard of the meditation room. Nie Xiaoqian, dressed in white, came out from nowhere, bowed in front of him and said, "Before, I was forced by the tree demon grandma to sell my appearance to seduce you. But this is not my original intention, you are a kind-hearted person, I can't bear to harm you, now the tree demon has been eliminated, I have regained my freedom, now I am going to reincarnate and become a human again."

"The fate between you and me ends here. This time I come to say goodbye to you. Thank you for helping me before. This kindness can only be repaid in the next life."

After finishing speaking, Nie Xiaoqian backed away slowly, and her figure gradually faded.

"Xiaoqian, don't go. Don't go."

In the dream, Ning Caichen tried his best to keep her, and stretched out his hand to grab it, but in the dream, he couldn't move, he could only freeze in place, watching Nie Xiaoqian leave.

night.

Ning Caichen suddenly woke up from his dream and shouted Xiaoqian's name.

He was covered in cold sweat, but when he realized it, he found that it was just a dream, an incomparably real dream, and everything that happened in the dream seemed to be real, vivid and fresh in his memory.

"Is it just a dream? Or did Xiaoqian really come here just now?" Ning Caichen turned over and sat up, gasping for breath, completely out of sleep.

He felt that he should ask Li Xiuyuan about this matter, Mr. Li, he is very proficient in matters of ghosts and ghosts, and he may be able to interpret the dream just now.

But when he just lit the candle, he suddenly found that Nie Xiaoqian's ashes urn on the table had disappeared.

There was also a piece of straw paper for sacrificial offerings left on it, with a line of graceful handwriting on it, which seemed to be written by a woman, and the content of the letter was also very simple, just a line of farewell.

Seeing this, Ning Caichen's expression darkened just now, and he realized that the dream just now was real.

Nie Xiaoqian really went to reincarnation.

"Is it just a dream after all?" Ning Caichen murmured, lost in thought.

And time flies, it is the morning of the second day.

After killing the tree demon, Li Xiuyuan gave Yan Chixia the remaining jars of fine wine as promised, and had a drink with Xia Houwu at Lanruo Temple to celebrate.

Yan Chixia and Xia Houwu fell asleep after being drunk.

Li Xiuyuan meditated for several hours, regained his energy, and prepared to go back to Guobei County today.

I didn't go to say hello to the two of them. It was already agreed yesterday that once the tree demon was wiped out, Yan Chixia would naturally continue to act chivalrously, slaying demons and slaying demons, and capturing robbers. Wu, thinking that there is a big gap between himself and Yan Chixia's martial arts, so he stopped pestering him to compete and decided to travel around.

But Xia Houwu also said that if Li Xiuyuan needs his help in the future, just ask, he will be obliged.

With Longma, alone, he walked towards the outside of Lanruo Temple.

On the way, I met Ning Caichen who was wandering in the temple.

"Master Li, are you going back?" Ning Caichen asked.

"Yes, the tree demon has been exterminated, and the old Black Mountain demon has gone to nowhere. All the ghosts of Lanruo Temple have disappeared, and peace has been restored here, and it's not too early for me to come out, too. It's time to go back home, aren't you going to Guobei County to collect the bill, why don't you go with me?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Ning Caichen saluted and said, "Xiaosheng still wants to stay here for a few more nights, and then go to Guobei County to visit Mr. Li in a few days."

"Lanruo Temple is now safe and secluded. It is a good place to live. It would be good for you to rest here for a few more days." Li Xiuyuan nodded without breaking a sweat.

He could see that Ning Caichen was still obsessed with Nie Xiaoqian and was reluctant to leave.

It's just that humans and ghosts have different paths, and Nie Xiaoqian went to reincarnation, and this fate can be regarded as over.

The two had some conversations, and finally Li Xiuyuan bid farewell to Ning Caichen and returned to Guobei County on a dragon horse.
