When Guanyuan arrived at Lanruo Temple again, the composition of the temple's personnel had changed.

In addition to the old monk, there are two more scholars in the temple. Besides...that old Taoist priest, yes, he was talking about you, who kept talking to that old monk, did your patriarch know? !

Both of these two scholars were going to catch up for the exam, but instead of going to the capital, they went to Jinling Mansion to take the rural exam.

They seem to belong to the kind of people with good family backgrounds, and they can't rest well in a deserted temple like Lanruo Temple, so the two in the temple are obviously the same as them because it's getting late and the city gate is closed. The monk and Taoist struck up a conversation.

Although the combination of a monk and a monk is very strange, it cannot rule out the possibility that they are friends, and the more they chat with them, the more surprised the scholars are.

Both the old monk and the Taoist priest can be said to be very knowledgeable, but the Taoist priest is more talkative, and the old monk doesn't talk often, and his speech is as short as possible.

The more the scholars chatted, the more energetic they became, and they couldn't rest well in this deserted temple. They seemed to be ready to talk about the dawn together, and they didn't want to sleep anymore.

Chatting and talking, they talked about the murals on the wall.

Those portraits are lifelike and really pleasing to the eye, but there is one thing, this is the Daxiong Palace, no matter how the murals inside are, they should not be pictures of beauties with many women in them.

What's more, the murals in this deserted temple still look like new ones, and the colors are very bright.

The old monk was silent, but the old Taoist smiled mysteriously: "Why don't you experience it yourself?"

These two scholars, one surnamed Meng, named Longtan, the other surnamed Zhu, named Xiaolian, after hearing what the old man said, the scholar surnamed Meng frowned, while the scholar surnamed Zhu felt that he was joking, with a look of indifference look.

It was at this time that Guanyuan pushed open the door of the Daxiong Palace and came in.

Guanyuan's face is tender, coupled with the fact that he has achieved some success in cultivation, so far he has not grown a beard. Outsiders look at him, only in his 20s, which is the mainstream age of the scholar group.

Meng Longtan and Zhu Xiaolian originally thought that no one would come at such a late hour, but suddenly a scholar who was about their age came, with a dazed expression on his face.

However, Guanyuan was not carrying a box or baggage behind him, which did not fit his status as a scholar, and the four people in the hall all turned their attention to him.

The scholars were curious, and the monks were astonished.

They can be regarded as successful in cultivation, but they didn't notice a new person outside at all.

Guanyuan calmly walked to the side of the fire lit by monks and scholars, performed a meeting ceremony between scholars, and then sat down: "Xiaosheng has met you."

↑Hey, just call yourself "Xiaosheng" so calmly, what a shameless pretender!

Meng Longtan and Zhu Xiaolian also returned the salute to him, and the monk and Taoist also exchanged names with him.

It was already so late, Guan Yuan came in suddenly, naturally it seemed suspicious.

Although Jinling City didn't have any robbers and bandits, there were also legends of ghosts and monsters in the mountains and fields, especially Lanruo Temple, Meng Longtan and Zhu Xiaolian came to Jinling City to participate in the rural examination, and they didn't bring anyone else with them, so they lived naturally. It's close to Jinling, so I've heard the rumors about Lanruo Temple.

The most important thing is that although Guan Yuan claims to be a niche student, he doesn't bring a suitcase. First of all, he doesn't look like a scholar. Here it comes... Oh my god!

The more Meng Longtan thought about it, the more frightened he was, he grabbed Zhu Xiaolian's sleeve who wanted to get close to Guanyuan, and when Zhu Xiaolian looked at him puzzled, he smiled stiffly.

"Brother Meng, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Xiaolian ignored Meng Longtan's constant winks and asked worriedly, "Is there something wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"

Meng Longtan felt that he was going to kneel down to this guy.

Zhu Xiaolian looked a little dumbfounded. What the Taoist said just now was so weird that he didn't feel it at all. It's even better now. I'm afraid even the weird scholar who came in just now knew that his mistake might be related to him. As a result, That idiot Zhu Xiaolian actually said it!

Where is the most basic trust between people, brother!

This Lanruo Temple is said to be haunted before!

If it wasn't for meeting Zhu Xiaolian on the road, it was already late and the city gates were closed, and Zhu Xiaolian was stupid, maybe there would be an accident walking in this barren mountain and wild ridge - although as a frail scholar, I don't seem to have any It is qualified to say that he——Meng Longtan would rather spend a day directly lighting a fire in the wild than living here.

The whole Lanruo Temple looks gloomy. If there is another chance to choose, Meng Longtan will definitely come in before that scholar, no, before that old Taoist said that weird line, no, before meeting Zhu Xiaolian Before, I walked around Lanruo Temple!

Guanyuan looked up at Meng Longtan, and then smiled at Meng Longtan under Meng Longtan's somewhat stiff expression.

This Meng Longtan looks much stronger than Zhu Xiaolian, it doesn't look like he is going to take part in the literary test, but on the contrary, he is going to take part in the military test.

Moreover, the intuition is also very accurate.

Meng Longtan's cold sweat kept breaking out, I don't know if it was his psychological effect or what, this Lanruo Temple was a little colder than before.

The old monk chanted the Buddha's name, and then said: "The benefactors are going to take the imperial examination? It's already late at night, it's better to rest earlier."

Meng Longtan nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and dragged Zhu Xiaolian, who still wanted to say something, to the place he had sorted out.

Guan Yuan silently watched Meng Longtan press Zhu Xiaolian to prevent him from moving, and thought in his heart, do not look at evil [←_← Hey! ], silently moved his eyes away.

He smiled at the monks and Taoists who were still looking at him: "Thank you, master. It's just that Xiaosheng has passed the provincial examination. This time, because he was visiting friends, there was an accident on the way, and he came back late, so he rested Here at Lanruo Temple. I wonder if the master and the Taoist priest are going to rest? If the master and the Taoist priest are not going to sleep, I don’t know if Xiaosheng is lucky enough to chat with the two of you for a while?"

After listening to his explanation, Meng Longtan's movements of suppressing Zhu Xiaolian over there became smaller, and instead, the old Taoist replied in a somewhat embarrassed way: "I'm afraid I'm going to go against the good intentions of the benefactor. Although the old Taoist and the master don't need to sleep yet, but Evening classes haven't been done yet, the benefactor should rest earlier."

Guan Yuan said regretfully: "So that's the case, then don't bother the master and the Taoist priest."

Just when the Taoist breathed a sigh of relief, Guanyuan's curious voice reappeared in the hall: "But this Lanruo Temple is a Buddhist temple, Taoist priest, can you do evening classes here?"

Old Taoist: I ask you to go to sleep quickly because you are paralyzed!

No matter how good he thinks in his heart, he can't say it outright, his expression can't change, and no matter how fiercely he scolds, it's useless.

It was the old monk who helped him out: "Amitabha, there is a poem saying, 'Buddha is in Lingshan, don't seek far away, Lingshan is in your heart', presumably the Taoist priest is also like this."

Guan Yuan nodded again with a suddenly realized expression, and finally went to sleep not far from the two scholars.

The monks and Taoist priests really recited the scriptures silently, but the voice that ordinary people cannot hear quickly spread in the hall.

Guan Yuan opened his eyes slightly, looked at Meng Longtan and Zhu Xiaolian who were already asleep, curled the corners of his mouth lightly, and just fell asleep like this.

The author has something to say:

Zhu Xiaolian's name seems to come from "Ju Xiaolian" in the procuratorial system. The Ming Dynasty seems to count "Xiaolian" as another name for "Juren"?This is the explanation of the comment, I don’t know, just take Xiao Zhu’s name as Xiaolian so happily~ The updated word count of the last chapter is actually 2222, and the whole person is laughing and crying 233333
