[Liao Zhai] Lanruo Temple

The lights adorn the ancient city like stars lighting up the night sky.

Like a deer that went astray, Ning Caichen discovered another beauty in the secret of the forest.

The dull lights and ambiguous atmosphere intertwine with a picture scroll of extravagance but warmth.But the maid walking in the picture scroll is a pure white flower swaying in the rich fragrance of magnolia.

The aroma is intense, but the hue is particularly light.

Lightness is not meagerness, but the purity of ice and snow.

Xiaoqian half leaned against the counter, she didn't know what she had said to Xiaosang, she giggled, ambiguous and confused.

Standing at the door, Ning Caichen couldn't help feeling a little dazed.Everyone loves beauty, no matter what state of mind they are in, they will not change their pursuit of beauty.

Ning Caichen stood at the door for a while, and Xiao Sang noticed him.Whispered gently to Xiaoqian, said: "Sister, he is looking at you."

Xiaoqian turned her head to one side, covered her lips with a round fan, and said, "I know."

Xiao Sang gently pushed her and said, "Go quickly, you are blocking the door, hindering business." His tone was slightly coquettish, half teasing.

Xiaoqian poked her forehead, walked in front of Ning Caichen, leaned slightly, and said, "The guest has been standing for a while, do you need anything?"

Ning Caichen shook his head slightly, a little shy, knowing that he had lost his composure, although he was a little embarrassed, his face was well covered.

"I want to buy some gifts for my cousin and mother, but I don't know what to buy."

Xiaoqian stretched out her hand and said, "The guests come here."

Xiaoqian took the trouble to explain it to Ning Caichen. Gifts for young women naturally have young women's favorite things, and gifts for elders naturally have the attention of elders.

Spices, like people, have a variety of scents, some spices are suitable for mature women, and some are suitable for lively girls.

The intention of the gift giver also needs to be taken into consideration.For lovers, there are naturally things for lovers, and for family members, there are varieties for family members.

The particularity has gone too far, Xiaoqian asked Ning Caichen's cousin and mother's hobbies, and Ning Caichen's own thoughts.

Ning Caichen responded one by one, Xiaoqian was serious, but Ning Caichen was in a daze.

The slightly dim light cast on Xiaoqian's body, reflecting a slight yellow, the light and shadow intertwined, Xiaoqian seemed to become a part of this spice, and precipitated a leisurely fragrance.

Ning Caichen touched the tip of his nose, met Xiaoqian's gaze, and put down his hand in embarrassment.

Xiaoqian said with a smile: "The guest is a little absent-minded, so let Xiaoqian not know what to do."

Ning Caichen's eyes were fixed, almost shining brightly, "Your name is...Xiaoqian?"

Xiaoqian was almost stabbed by his gaze, she frowned unavoidably, and said, "The guest respects himself."

Ning Caichen suddenly felt his recklessness. He knew that his destined marriage was in front of him, but others didn't know it. If this left a bad impression on her, it would inevitably add ups and downs to his love life.

Ning Caichen made a bow and bowed to the end. Most of these big gifts are used to honor teachers, but Ning Caichen lived in a dream, so he didn't think much about empty gifts.Besides, in his eyes, saluting to his future wife is nothing scandalous.

"I'm rude, please don't blame the girl. I'm Ning Caichen, I just heard the girl's name for the first time, and I can't help it. Please don't blame the girl. I'm reckless."

He apologized incoherently, a little flustered, a little cute.

Xiaoqian has seen a lot of men, and the men who come to the fragrance shop, whether it is for beauty or goods, all show a lot of distracting thoughts.

People like Ning Caichen are both shameless and cute.At least it is much more pleasing than those lewd men.

Xiaoqian slightly suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and said, "You...you get up."

Ning Caichen raised his head and looked at Xiaoqian again, there was some light in his eyes.Xiaoqian looked at him, she had a good appearance, the key was pure breath, no evil thoughts, just a little admiration.

Admiration does not constitute evil thoughts, and love for a flower, a fish, or a person cannot be evil thoughts.Evil thoughts are greed, possession, and jealousy, which are negative emotions that often accompany love.

But admiration itself does not cause trouble.

If a person appreciates flowers, he just looks at them and doesn't bother to fold them, which will not do any harm to the flowers.

Xiaoqian keenly sensed Ning Caichen's thoughts, this is the innate sensitivity of ghosts and gods—a somewhat frivolous gentleman—Xiaoqian thought to herself.

Everyone is glad to associate with a gentleman--if he is a gentleman and not a moralist.What a coincidence, but Xiaoqian happened to meet her.

Xiaoqian turned her face away, her face was a little hot.Innocent feelings will naturally arouse innocent reactions.Playing every time, you can only treat each other every time.

"Guests should continue to choose incense. The cousin of the guest is still young, and the fragrance should not be heavy. You can try these types. Girls love beauty, and our store also has rouge powder and floral fragrance."

Ning Caichen responded, and then really woke up, went to smell the fragrance, and said, "This one smells a little soft, like spring breeze."

Xiaoqian smiled softly, turned the porcelain vase around, and saw "Spring Breeze" written on it, and said, "The guest's nose is pretty good."

Ning Caichen touched his nose and laughed too.

Xiaoqian had chosen a present for Ning Caichen, and was about to pack it up, Ning Caichen said, "Miss Xiaoqian, do you work in this incense store?"

Xiaoqian didn't shy away from his tricks, and said: "Yes, the incense shop is my master's property, and we all help him with his business."

When Ning Caichen got the news he wanted, he looked at Xiaoqian intently, and said, "Miss Xiaoqian, I'll come see you tomorrow."

Xiaoqian chuckled, and said casually, "Okay."

Ning Caichen could see her perfunctory, but he didn't feel annoyed, and said, "I will definitely come tomorrow."

Xiao Sang stuffed the oiled paper bag into Ning Caichen's hand, and said, "That's enough, you scholar, my sister is never married, so don't ruin her reputation at will."

Xiao Sang's hand was a little cold, and when Ning Caichen took the oil-paper bag, he touched it lightly, intentionally or unintentionally, and felt the coolness.

Not like a living person.

Ning Caichen knew it well, grinned and said, "Bring some gifts for the girl tomorrow."

Ning Caichen looked back at the Lan Ruo Xiang Xing, his chest was full of righteousness, his eyes lit up, and he saw a quiet atmosphere in the Xing Xing, filled with dozens of auras.

Can't help but be surprised, although it is a ghost, it is almost like a god.Lanruoxianghang and Lanruo Temple are the only one, and there is no other.Although the people in this incense shop are ghosts, they have gradually broken away from the category of ghosts.

These changes must have come from King Lan Ruo.The one who was supposed to be a "grandmother" has now become the existence of Huai Shen. I don't know what it looks like?

The Montenegro Mountain Temple and the God of Huaihua appeared at the same time. There are ancient Chinese locust trees planted behind the Mountain Temple, towering up into the sky, as if there is a god.

The Sophora God, now overlooking the earth, is wearing thin clothes, stepping barefoot in the snow and ice.

The mountain was high and snowy, and the cold mountain wind blew his hair. Under the thin clothes, he seemed to go with the wind.

Climbing high and looking into the distance is naturally not to see the withered scenery in winter, but to follow the wind and feel the secret language of heaven and earth.

Sometimes secrets cannot be disclosed, so secrets cannot be revealed, but sometimes secrets are so straightforward and easy to understand, so simple that an earth immortal can capture them.

This will be a warm winter, there will be no big snow and frost, and it will be unnaturally warm.This is not a big deal, it is common in warm winters, but Huai Xu came here to listen to the wind, which naturally means that this is not just a trivial matter.

Heaven's secrets first originated from heaven and earth, and Huai Xu's connection with heaven and earth is closer than that of people.

This should have been a cold winter.

This is the secret engraved on the annual rings of the trees, or in other words, the herald of heaven and earth.Because the temperature in winter is not determined by winter.As early as spring, or the spring of last year, or the spring ten years ago, or even the spring a hundred years ago, there were subtle omens, heralding the coming of cold winter.

As time goes by, like a branch of a river, it diverges slightly from the beginning and goes farther and farther.Finally finalize the contract of winter.

However, it was tampered with.

This severe cold was postponed until later.

Someone cast a spell, and it was a large-scale spell, adding external forces to the trajectory of the sky and the earth, turning the cold winter into a warm winter, and pushing the severe cold to a later date.

As a tree, it is no surprise that Huaixu feels this.

This is not without precedent, and it was a little bit farther back, a thousand years ago, or even longer.When people sense the secrets of heaven, they know that severe cold will come, and severe cold will bring death.If the foreseeable consequences are too severe, there will be dynasties, or tribes cast spells, pay a terrible price, and soften the severe cold, making it less terrifying.Or postpone it to gain more preparation time.

But now, this standard cannot be constituted.

The world is rich, and this year is still a good harvest, even if it is severe cold, not many people will die.

Since it is not for the purpose of reducing the damage, it must be for the opposite goal - to increase the damage.

Huai Xu sighed, he didn't know how long this severe cold would last.Because it is not up to him, the one who wants the cold to pass, to decide when it will come.

If the other party is willing to pay the price, they can delay it for a few more years, and if they want to pay less, maybe next year.

But at most, it can only be postponed for five years.Because for more than five years, no one can bear such a big price.

The troubled times, the real troubled times, are coming.

Huai Xu ordered to go on, he needed to stockpile food.It's not just him. If you don't want too many people to die, you need more people and people with higher status to do it.

Huai Xu wrote two letters, one of which was handed over to Yasha Ghost, and asked him to bring it to Mrs. Yu.In Jinhua City, the prefect can still speak.

For the other letter, he was hesitating whether to send it or not.This letter was written to the King of Zhennan, but once it was sent out, it almost made it clear that he would personally end this chaos.

Thinking of thousands of good deeds, Huai Xu smiled wryly, and said, "You go to the enshrined Wang Binghe of the Zhennan Palace, and give this letter to him, and he will know what to do."

The two yakshas parted ways, turned into golden light, and disappeared into the sky.

Huai Xu exhaled, stretched out his hand to grab the wind, the wind was like a snake, entangled gently in his hand, and then became invisible.

When Huaishen sensed the secret, two Taoist priests—or, a Taoist priest and a swordsman walked into Jinhua City.

Taoist priests wear Taoist robes, with the logo of Kunlun Mountain embroidered on the sleeves - Yuqing Yuanshi, Three Treasures Ruyi.The swordsman was carrying the sword box on his back, and his temples were ashen and frosty. He looked like he was not young, but he looked like a young man.

The young Taoist priest and the young swordsman walked together, looking like a martial artist.

The two stopped in front of an inn in Jinhua City. The Taoist pointed to the inn and said, "The name of this inn is good. 'Xian Ke Lai' fits the occasion."

The swordsman grinned his white teeth and said, "Okay, you pay the bill."

The Taoist said: "I don't pay the bill, whoever asks us to come will pay the bill."

The swordsman said: "The one surnamed Yan is still in Zhengyang Palace, you should put it on first!"

The Taoist said: "I am a Taoist, I can go to Tao Zhengsi to borrow!"

In the stalemate, the swordsman just laughed, and the Taoist had no choice but to say: "Forget it, I'll hold on. You are a rascal!"

The swordsman said: "If there is an inn to live in, I am a rascal and I am a rascal."

When the two entered Cyclamen, the handyman greeted them with a smile, and said, "Are you a top-notch or a hotel?"

The Taoist threw the money bag in his hands and said, "You belong to the shopkeeper?"

The boy said: "Our shopkeeper is Uncle Ning. He just went out and came back in a while."

"Open two upper rooms for my grandfather, no, let me serve a table of good wine and food first."

The Taoist priest who called himself "Master" threw the money bag into the hand of the boy, and when the boy emptied the money bag, he poured out more than a dozen golden beans.

The servant couldn't help but "hissed", and hurriedly smashed the golden soybeans into the money bag, leaving a grain behind and said: "My Lord, collect it quickly, the money will not be revealed. I will credit this grain to your account, and wait for you to settle the bill. I will add more." Refund and make up for less."

"It's interesting." The Taoist took the purse, sat at the table with the swordsman, and said, "Good wine and good food are served, no beef."
