I am the county magistrate in Liaozhai

Ning Caichen's description is obviously much more specific than Yan Daochang's.

"My lord, to be honest, Xiaosheng's family is not rich, so he went to Fucheng to rush for the exam. He didn't stay in the city, but to save some money, he found a quiet place in the north of the city."

Cheng Jin was surprised: "Lanruo Temple, a quiet place?"

Ning Caichen nodded, and then said: "My lord guessed right. A classmate of Xiaosheng said that the environment of Lanruo Temple is quiet and the most suitable for studying hard. When Xiaosheng heard about it, he went there happily. At first, the environment in the temple was really clean, only at night There was a strange sound. Xiaosheng was reluctant to part with the candle money, so he went to bed very early at night, so he didn't notice anything weird."

Cheng Jin: As expected of the leading actor, this heart is big enough.

"Only one day, Xiaosheng couldn't fall asleep because of a theory, so he simply put on his clothes and got up, and then thought carefully in the moonlight through the window. That's when Miss Xiaoqian appeared."

When Ning Caichen mentioned Nie Xiaoqian, his tone was filled with obvious pity, but it had nothing to do with Fengyue, nor the emotion between men and women. County magistrate Cheng was a little puzzled. emotion?

"Xiaosheng originally thought that she was a wild woman in the mountains, and she committed crimes because of her beauty, so he yelled at her, not only drove her out of the house, but also threw the gold ingots she left out of the window, and made her feel good about herself."

Cheng Jin: ... well done.

"It was only later that Xiaosheng found out that these were indeed traps, but Miss Xiaoqian was also forced to help her. She was already a ghost, driven by her grandmother. Xiaosheng felt sorry for her and died young, so he promised her to pick it up for her when she returned home. Make a tomb of bones. Who knew that Xiaosheng was able to escape unscathed last time. For some reason this time, the Rakshasa and female ghost inside were all madder than last time. Xiaosheng and Daoist were able to escape this time, thanks to Xiaoqian The girl sacrificed herself to save her."

Cheng Jin was a little puzzled: "You said you were able to escape unscathed last time? Why?"

Ning Caichen said, "Miss Xiaoqian said that it is a man whose grandma only eats black hearts. If he is not interested in beauty and money, he will spare his life so that Xiaosheng can leave Lanruo Temple."

... So in other words, An Youyu didn't come out of Lanruo Temple, did he commit greed?Or, for some reason, the conditions of Lanruo Temple's life business have changed?

When Yan Chixia heard the words, she frowned tightly: "How can you believe all the words of demons and ghosts! What kind of man who only eats black hearts is just doing his own selfish desires in the name of a slightly nicer reason. There are very few people who don’t care about money and beauty, so you just have to listen to these remarks, silly boy.”

Ning Caichen was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at the other person in the room. Cheng Jin met Shang Ningsheng's gaze, but he didn't avoid answering. Although he was young, he had experienced more world affairs than ordinary people: "Indeed, Daoist Yan is right. Whether it is a human, a demon or a ghost, it is a transgression to judge crimes by lynching. If everyone is like this, then what is the law in this world?"

Ning Caichen suddenly realized, and hurriedly bowed down and thanked Mr. Cheng for his advice.

Cheng Jin: ...just looking down, the hairline is higher.

So the county magistrate Cheng gave some rare advice: "Since you have won the exam, you must combine work and rest, and don't think about it so late in the future."

Little brother, look at it again, the hairline is not guaranteed.

Ning Caichen didn't hear the implication, and his gratitude became more and more sincere.

Yan Chixia who was watching: ... Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow.

The next day was a sunny day, and Cheng Jin went out early in the morning. When Yan Chixia woke up, there were no other living things in the front yard of the mansion except Mao Mao and A Cong.

His injury was indeed not serious. If it wasn't for Ning Sheng, he might have stayed in Lanruo Temple to fight the locust tree demon, but it's not too late now, but he couldn't let Ning Sheng go into danger anymore.

"Why? Daoist, Xiaosheng is going, you can't break your promise and get fat!" Ning Caichen protested.

Yan Chixia tried to reason with others: "Ning Sheng, you are a scholar, and you have no strength to restrain a chicken. If you are afraid that the female ghost Xiaoqian will misunderstand you, Pindao will convey it for you."

Ning Caichen also knew of Daoist Yan's good intentions, but he couldn't sit still: "Xiaosheng knows that I am weak, and I am afraid that if I go, I will only hinder you, but if Xiaosheng doesn't do anything, then I will let down Miss Xiaoqian." Some hope? Daoist, I promise, if I don’t enter Lanruo Temple, at least if I can’t do it, Xiaosheng can still pass on a message for you, what do you think?”

I'm afraid this posture can't be stopped, even if he leaves people behind, this fool will probably run back secretly.Yan Chixia hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "That's a good deal, you are not allowed to act without authorization."

Ning Caichen immediately said: "Don't worry, Taoist priest, Xiaosheng still wants to be named on the gold list."

... Speaking of titles on the gold list, where did Mr. Cheng go?

"My lord? He, he went out early in the morning. He said he was looking for friends to discuss the encirclement and suppression operations. He was so weird that he didn't understand. Looking at the direction, he should be going to the Temple of the City God." Cracking melon seeds in the warm shed, seeing Yan Chixia coming, he just answered lazily, but when he saw the handsome scholar behind him, he was excited, "Who is this, new to the yamen?"

"Nothing to do with you."

After finishing speaking, Yan Chixia took Ning Caichen and left.

Mao Mao was so angry that he threw melon seeds: "The Taoist priest is amazing! Bullying a kitten is such a great skill! If you have the ability, go to the adults! Ask me what's wrong, can I still eat him!" This is not spicy chicken The county magistrate is good-looking, he is rare! ?

Ning Caichen felt that the young master was born well, but he really didn't understand why the Taoist priest was so indifferent.

"Don't be so curious. When you see it in the future, stay away from it."

"Huh? Xiaosheng looks at him very kindly."

Yan Chixia snorted softly and didn't answer, the cat demon is fickle, if it wasn't for the karma in her body, how could she be so obedient, she would rather take the imperial examination in the future, and it would be better to have less contact with demons and ghosts.

"It is important to know that people know their faces but they don't know their hearts. People's hearts are unpredictable, and ghosts are even more unpredictable. In the future, you should be more careful when you go to Beijing for the exam." Otherwise, with this bad luck, you may be born by ghosts before you reach the capital. Devoured.

Lanruo Temple is located in the north direction of Jinhuafu City, close to Lanxi County, and at the border of the two, because the place is remote and rarely populated, it can be regarded as a three-way area.But the locals all know that there is a small road here, and Ning Caichen is much more familiar with the road to Lanruo Temple than Yan Chixia.

Not long after, the two saw the old plaque of Lanruo Temple. Yan Chixia turned her head and told Ning Caichen to leave a sword pouch before entering the temple.

And all of this fell into the eyes of Li Yong, who was guarding outside.

Human scholar?Interesting, interest flashed in Li Yong's eyes, he was idle anyway, he landed and transformed into a woman, restrained his demonic aura, and approached him to strike up a conversation.

"My lord, the little girl wanted to go to Fucheng to seek relatives, but lost her way in the mountains, I don't know if you know the way out?"

Ning Caichen turned his head, and saw a slender woman approaching, he was not frivolous when walking, he only talked as if he was wearing a hook, he hurriedly backed away, wondering if this might be a girl in the temple. The demon turned into an illusion, and hurriedly squeezed the sword pouch that Daoist Yan gave him.

"Over there, girl, go straight there, and you will see the main road."

Li Yong thought to this stupid scholar, Lanruo Temple is a cannibal, what are you doing here, and said: "The little girl doesn't know the way, can I ask the young master to take the little girl out?"

Ning Caichen held the sword pouch, trembling slightly: "This, this, this road is not difficult to find, please forgive me, Xiaosheng needs to wait here for urgent matters."

Li Yong's smile became even happier, he liked to tease serious scholars the most.

Cheng Jin had a discussion with the Lord of the City God at the City God's Temple, and finally got in touch with the City God's Temple in Jinhuafu City. After opening the water mirror of Lanruo Temple, he saw Li Yong, a woman dressed as a gray wolf, flirting with the male protagonist Ning Caichen.

County Magistrate Cheng: "..."

The Lord Chenghuang poked his head over and took a look at the right time: "Tsk, this fox demon is really charming, it's hard for this scholar to be able to control it."

"...City God, this fox demon is male."

The City God was silent for a moment, and said: "The boundaries between men and women of the Fox tribe are already blurred, so why should Mr. Cheng stick to it?"

What do you mean by your silence just now?

Cheng Jin didn't expose the fault of Lord Chenghuang, but only watched the changes in the water mirror.Speaking of which, County Magistrate Cheng is very self-aware. Although he has great strength, he has a mortal body after all. Besides, in the case of Lanruo Temple, there is slack in the yang world, but it is obvious that the dereliction of duty in the underworld is even greater.

He hits a rock with an egg alone, but he is not allowed to find some foreign aid.

"The formation of Lanruo Temple is a bit particular."

Ask if you don't understand, the county magistrate Cheng has never been ashamed to ask: "Why do you pay attention to the law?"

"I don't have a deep understanding of the match, so I can see that this temple is strange, but I can't say exactly what it is." The City God said slowly, "It doesn't feel good just to give people."

Saying this is the same as not saying it.

Lanruo Temple used to be a Buddhist temple, and it flourished for a while. It was only because of the war that the monks migrated, and then it gradually declined. The Buddha's light in the temple was dim, and now it is as dark as hell.

The water mirror slowly advanced, and it only took a few breaths to go from the wing room on the surface to the tree house deep underground.Along the way, Cheng Jin also saw many violent Rakshasa and beautiful female ghosts.

"It's unreasonable that this monster still raises Rakshasa ghosts!"

Cheng Jin: ... City God, why do you have that expression of 'I don't even have one, how dare she dare'? !

"Come, come, have a sip of tea to calm down, let's continue to read."

The City God refused to drink tea, and soon Shui Jing arrived in the main hall in the center of the underground tree house. The county magistrate Cheng has sharp eyes, and he immediately spotted Daoist Yan who was eavesdropping outside.

"Master Cheng, look quickly, isn't that your master?"

What?Montenegro is actually in Lanruo Temple?Cheng Jin was so shocked that he took a closer look, and saw a beautiful woman in a weird tree and rattan dress talking to his master, and her speech skills were clearly poaching his corner!How can it be repaired!

"Come and have a sip of tea, let's calm down, let's continue to look down." The City God immediately picked up the teacup gleefully, hey, this young man is finally exhausted.
