In the first year of Huangyou, the new emperor opened Enke as usual.

On the third day of the first lunar month, on the outskirts of Jinling, a scholar was walking along a path with a cage on his back, trying to enter the city while it was still early.

It's just that the sky didn't fulfill people's wishes, and the sky soon became overcast, and it looked like it was going to rain.

Although there is still a while before the city gate closes, but at the pace of this scholar, it is too late to enter the city before the rain falls, so he can only find a place outside the city tonight.

The scholar's surname is Ning and his name is Caichen. He is 20 years old this year and is from Jinling.

What's even better is that he has never married a wife since he was 20 years old, and he is not even engaged. Although his family is poor, he is considered a good candidate for marriage for some officials and officials.

Ning Caichen thought about marrying a wife after he had won the honor of Jinshi, but Ning's mother never forced him.

Ning Caichen was the imperial examination in the 19th year of Hongcheng. He thought that his level was not enough, and it happened that Ning's mother fell ill, so he did not go to Beijing to take the imperial examination, and took the imperial examination in the 20th year of Hongcheng.

It's just that I didn't expect that Emperor Hongcheng would abdicate so easily to the emperor's grandson and become the emperor himself. Ning Caichen was persuaded by Ning's mother, and he also thought of joining Enke. Now he is preparing to go to Jinling Mansion. Hire a carriage or take a companion and enter Beijing together.

Fortunately, Jinling is not too far from the capital, otherwise, Ning Caichen wanted to enter the capital, maybe because the time is too short to make it in time!

Ning Caichen walked quickly on the road for a while, and finally saw an abandoned temple in the distance.

The name of this temple is Lanruo, and it has been abandoned for many years. Ning Caichen has heard rumors about this temple more than once, and all kinds of monsters and beauties can be related to it.

But Ning Caichen is also a person who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, so he doesn't think it's scary to go here to hide from the rain.

In Jinling in the twelfth lunar month of winter, it is possible to have rain or snow. Snow is better, but rain is even more inconvenient.

The icy cold raindrops began to fall and gradually grew larger.

Ning Caichen was steaming from his body because he was on the way, but he didn't feel cold, but he was afraid that the books in the cage on his back would get wet, so he ran towards Lanruo Temple even faster.

When Ning Caichen finally hid in the abandoned hall of Lanruo Temple, his coat was soaked and covered with yellow mud.

God knows, how he fell on the flat ground three times on that not-so-bumpy path, and tripped over two inexplicable branches protruding from nowhere!

The things in the box also fell out several times, Ning Caichen couldn't help muttering in his heart when he was furious, is there really something weird about Lanruo Temple?

Ning Caichen carefully took out the fire pocket from the cage, lit some firewood that might have been left by the people who had taken shelter here for the night and took off the dirty coat, and put it in the cage. clean coat.

Dirty coats can also be used as waste. He took out the books in the cage that were messed up due to his previous falls, wiped the wet or soiled places with his coat, and put them away from the fire source. Dry somewhere not too far away.

As soon as Ning Caichen finished these things, he heard the door that had been closed by him creak open.

Ning Caichen wasn't very scared at first, but after letting the door open, no one came in for a long time?

"Master and Master's wife sounded good, what made me practice, why didn't I come to find their precious daughter?" After a while, there was finally a muttering voice outside, and a young man dressed as a Taoist pushed Ning Cai away. The minister closed the door again and stepped in.

Seeing the scholar warming himself against the rain in this deserted main hall, the Taoist said hello carelessly: "Hey, brother, what's your name?"

"Um, hello Taoist priest, I'm Ning Caichen, whose name is Cunqing, from Jinling..." Ning Caichen introduced himself to the young Taoist priest in the way scholars usually greet.

The Taoist showed a somewhat impatient expression: "You scholar, you look so young, why are you so pedantic, say hello, do you want to reveal all your own wealth?"

Ning Caichen, who has never seen this type of person, said that he would be shocked, okay? !

It is agreed that the old Taoist priest has the demeanor of a magic stick, but what about the young fairy demeanor? !

Taoist priest, do you know that you have lowered the impression value of Taoist priests left by the national teacher on the people of Dayue? !

Ning Caichen showed a slightly embarrassed expression, but the Taoist priest was not affected by him at all, and sat directly opposite him and started to warm up.

Ning Caichen: I have never seen such a brazen person!I knelt down to the uncle _(:3」∠)_

During the period, the door was blown open several times for no reason, but because there was someone on the opposite side, who was still a Taoist priest, so Ning Caichen was not as scared as before.

After Ning Caichen closed the door several times, the Taoist finally said when he went to close the door again: "Brother, your seal hall is black, and you may be bloody!"

Ning Caichen didn't reply, but his little theater in his heart had already flooded the screen with "Are you fucking kidding me".

"I'm serious." Looking at Ning Caichen's expression, the young Taoist continued to speak slowly, "There is devilish energy here, and it's very strong. This door was blown open by the devilish wind."

Ning Caichen didn't take it seriously. Although he said goodbye to the Taoist priest politely the next day, he thought the Taoist priest was talking nonsense.

So the day after he left Lanruo Temple, he had a high fever and couldn't go on the road. He took medicine but couldn't cure it, and spent several days in Jinling City.

By the time the first month was halfway through, Ning Caichen already knew that he had no chance to participate in this year's Enke.

When he got better, Ning Caichen returned to his home in a small village on the outskirts of the city.

It is said that his family did not originally belong to this village, but shortly after he was born, his mother took him to move. It was five or six villages away from the original village, and there was no contact with him.

Ning's mother's health is not good. Ning Caichen sells his calligraphy and paintings for a living on weekdays. Apart from making a living, a large part of it is spent on buying medicines.

My son didn't take the imperial examination, and Ning's mother didn't regret it as much as other people in the village. She was only concerned about whether her son's illness was cured.

Although Ning Caichen said he was fine, he knew in his heart that since he left Lanruo Temple that day, his body had indeed been affected strangely.

That Taoist priest seemed to have real skills, but he didn't know where he was. Ning Caichen also inquired in Jinling Fucheng, but he couldn't get any news about him.

By April, Ning Caichen had recovered from his illness long ago, but he still remembered the matter of Lanruo Temple in his heart, and at the same time he did not forget the Taoist priest.

This time he was lucky. When he went to Fucheng to sell calligraphy and paintings, a group of people were talking about a Taoist priest.

The unscrupulous Taoist priest who "molested a strange woman" sounded like the Taoist priest who was looking for his junior sister.

Ning Caichen clearly remembered the few words he said to the Taoist priest, and even the babbling before he entered the door.

Ning Caichen finally found the Taoist priest not far from the city gate.

His clothes fit the image of a Taoist priest, if his face hadn't been beaten black and purple.

Ning Caichen suddenly felt indescribable admiration for that heroine whom he had never met.

Apparently that Taoist still remembered Ning Caichen, he blinked and frowned unnaturally while greeting Ning Caichen.

Being beaten like this...it's too miserable!While thinking this way, Ning Caichen explained to the Taoist priest why he came.

And he also knew the Taoist's name: Zhuge Liuyun.

Zhuge Liuyun happened to be seen by Ning Caichen after being beaten by his junior sister. He obviously felt that he had lost face, so he promised to go to Lanruo Temple with Ning Caichen to find out what happened.

Ning Caichen looked at the sky, it was dark, and the city gate was about to close, is it really good to go to that ghostly place at this time? !

How the hell did you grow up to be so big?

Logically speaking, no one would go to a deserted temple like Lanruo Temple at this time.

But that doesn't include the unexpected.

When Ning Caichen and Taoist Zhuge came to Lanruo Temple together, in the main hall of this abandoned ancient temple, the light from the fire illuminated the entire hall.

Abandoned ancient temples can occasionally become a residence for passers-by in the wilderness, but this Lanruo Temple is somewhat evil, Ning Caichen is afraid that those people will be tricked like he was before, so he hurriedly opened the door and entered with Zhuge Liuyun.

The most eye-catching thing in the hall is not the crowd of thirty or so people at a glance, but the nanmu coffin parked beside it.

Mom, it's scary!

Ning Caichen, who was so frightened that he lost his composure, turned his head to look at Daoist Zhuge, Zhuge Liuyun's expression was also distorted.

Daoist, what about the agreed-upon worldly expert?Don't kneel down when you see the coffin without seeing demons and ghosts, okay? !

Promise me, don't kneel, okay QAQ!
