I opened the academy in Liaozhai

76

The second hour after leaving the academy, Su Xiao regretted it.

The thin figure dressed as a Confucian scholar seemed to faint in an instant, out of breath, and flushed.She wiped off a large amount of sweat from her forehead, looked at the Lanruo Temple mountain in the distance, which didn't seem to get closer at all, and let out a long sigh:

"I want to save face and suffer. I must have been struck by lightning when I pretended to be aggressive. How can I have the confidence to walk to the destination on such a long mountain road..."

The academy is already some distance away from the small town, and Su Xiao used to come and go here in the daytime in the past, which gave her an illusion:

The road outside the city is easy to walk.

But how could there be many good roads in ancient times?

It is official roads that are regularly maintained, conscripted, and overhauled, and ordinary people are not qualified to touch expensive official roads.

Like the well-known scenic spots outside the city, such as temples and Taoist temples, there are often great benevolent people and big benefactors spending money like water to build bridges and pave roads.

Lanruo Temple used to have this kind of treatment, and the mountain road that Su Xiao walks now is the remnant of the time when the incense was at its peak.

However, given that Lanruo Temple has been abandoned for many years, the believers have naturally switched to the gods and Buddhas they worship, and are no longer willing to spend half their money on the wilderness.

So the zigzag mountain road specially paved to show piety in the past has now become a catastrophe for Su Xiao.

She dragged her heavy steps, swaying every step, and finally when she reached the stone steps at the foot of the mountain, she "plopped" and fell into the bushes by the roadside. She barely moved her struggling hands, and then there was no movement.

——Su·Storyteller·Physically disabled·Xiao can't get up again!

Lie down wherever you fall.Su Xiao turned over in a difficult way, looking at the golden red of the setting sun on the treetops in the distance, and sighed:

"I really want to eat quicksand salted duck eggs."

As soon as the words fell, someone beside the bushes gave a "puchi" laugh.

"You scholar, you have leisure time to enjoy the romance, but don't worry about the present. At dusk, in the wilderness, if you can't find a place to stay, are you planning to live in the belly of a wild animal for a long time?"

Su Xiao was shocked, and immediately looked at the sound.

On the side of the mountain road, under the welcoming Matsushita, the figure of the young man in Tsing Yi seems familiar, and the golden red of the setting sun draws gold borders for the visitors, making him look extraordinarily handsome and solemn.

——It was the young master who had met once during the Lantern Festival!

Su Xiao stared at the person in a daze, his eyes shone slightly unconsciously.

"Why, you scholar really want to sleep here forever?"

The deep voice broke the psychedelic atmosphere, and the young man in Tsing Yi paced to Su Xiao's side, looking down from a high position, with a smile that was not a smile, and mean words were revealed on his thin red lips.

"Then why not follow me, at least there is still the whole body."

Okay, I'll go with the beauty... the whole body?

Only then did Su Xiao realize that something was wrong.

In the old forest in the wilderness, the traditional haunted house Lanruo Temple is not far away, and the sun is still setting. Even though there is no time for encountering demons passed down by Dongying's ancestors, it is still a bad time and place in the Central Plains.

What's more, this is the world of "Liao Zhai" belonging to Dan Gong.

After Su Xiao got up, he straightened his clothes and looked at the monster boy.

She instinctively felt no malice from this person, so she no longer worried about her own safety, but rather wondered why he came here.

If it was said that the first time they met was because the monster son envied the prosperity of the world, then the reunion this time is no longer a coincidence.

After Su Xiao finished dressing up, he politely thanked the kind-hearted people, "Thank you for your kind reminder, son. I will leave after I find friends when I go down and up the mountain."

Young Master Tsing Yi frowned upon hearing this, "If you want to go down the mountain, you should leave earlier, the mountain is not safe. This place has been abandoned for many years, your friends will not come here."

Su Xiao said: "He is indeed here, I will leave after I find someone."

Su Qing, who was gentle and refined from the moment she appeared, suddenly couldn't pretend anymore, "Who are you looking for? This mountain has long been banned from human habitation."

This person has been preventing himself from going up the mountain.What is his identity?

Su Xiao guessed from the bottom of his heart: According to the fox cubs, this person is highly skilled, and the most likely identity is a tree demon.But it's too late for the tree demon to trick people into going up the mountain, and they will never stop people from entering the mountain.

emmm... It's not like being a voluptuous ghost raised by a tree demon. After all, besides being powerful, the boss is also male, so he won't lose his reputation and use beautiful men to seduce ordinary people?

While Su Xiao was speculating, he carefully answered Mr. Tsing Yi.

Seeing that Su Qing, who had recovered her original form, could not persuade Su Xiao to leave the dangerous situation no matter what, the anger in her heart became more and more intense, and the words she blurted out were also extremely vitriolic:

"I didn't know that there are fools in this world who can lay down their lives for people who have nothing to do with them."

Su Xiao put all his energy into not stepping on the wrong mountain road, so as not to fall down the mountain, and said casually: "Mr. Ning is not an irrelevant person, I will be very distressed without him." Without the main force of teaching and educating people, Liaozhai Academy will It's not easy to manage.

Where Su Xiao couldn't see, there was a cruel smile on the corner of Su Qing's lips, and a faint blue light flashed away in her eyes.

After climbing halfway up the mountain with difficulty, Su Xiao had to rest in the dilapidated gazebo. In order to relieve the pain caused by fatigue, she chatted with Young Master Tsing Yi again.

"By the way, why did you come to this desolate and dilapidated place?"

Su Qing loosened her clenched fists in her sleeves, forced herself to move away from her distressed thoughts about Su Xiao, and said, "I heard that there is a virtuous person living in seclusion here. The academy is also dedicated to mediating disputes between the ghosts and spirits of the heavens and the earth. This time, I would like to ask this gentleman a question."

Hey, there are other monster schools nearby?The teacher is also very talented?

Because Su Qing Caihong farts too much, Su Xiao didn't realize who he was talking about for a moment, and asked enthusiastically: "Who is that gentleman's name? What deeds have you done? So that I can come to ask for advice after I know it. It is not in vain to get the moon first if you are close to the water."

Seeing that the person in front of him was dull and unresponsive, Su Qing loved and hated him at the same time, his teeth itched with hatred.

"It is said that the gentleman once repelled the fox demon who harmed the world, the flower demon who abandoned her husband and son, and even the land god who was trapped by resentment. .I want to ask Mr. Su for advice based on the entanglement in the world, but I don't know if the gate of his academy is good or not."

"The young master is a man of talent, and he sincerely asks for advice, so it must be very easy." Su Xiao suddenly paused after finishing talking in his head.

……Um?

Only then did Su Xiao realize that the person in Tsing Yi's mouth seems, looks like, could be herself?

No way--

Get rid of the fox demon?Apart from RUA Fox Tuanzi, she has only ever done anything to a little bastard, Huang Jiulang who tricked his clan sister into being his wife.

It was because he knew that this little bastard was first tricked into being a child prostitute by a wretched scholar, and after being corrupted by the world of mortals, he then helped the concubine scholar's bad family sister to practice. Su Xiaocai contacted Xin Yue to talk to the idiot when Sanniang was gone. The fox hit hard.

Huang Jiulang is still lying and moaning in his fox den.

Not to mention the other two, which are considered scandals in the world.

The entanglement involving marriage life and death is a secret matter. Su Xiaolian didn't tell Su Qing. Is this boss really talking about her?

If so, where did his news come from?

He vaguely understood that this person was coming for him, and he had grasped many secrets. Su Xiao felt hairy, and couldn't help but want to get rid of him and go on the road alone.

It's a pity that Su Xiao answered wrong one after another. Su Qing was at the peak of her anger at this time. Seeing her trying to escape, her expression became even more ugly.

Su Xiao felt that the atmosphere was sinister, so he couldn't help shrinking his head, not daring to speak.

The dull atmosphere speeded up the two people's progress in disguise, and after a while, Lanruo Temple on the top of the mountain was in front of them.

At this time, there was still the last ray of the sun in the sky.

Seeing that victory was in sight, Su Xiao excitedly was about to step on the last step, when suddenly a hand stretched out in front of her, blocking her.

"Let me say this one last time, this place is not safe, you should go down the mountain quickly." Young Master Tsing Yi's voice was extremely low.

Su Xiao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "No hurry, since I have arrived here, I will confirm Mr. Ning's position and go down the mountain together after finding him."

Su Qing stared at the person in front of her and said, "Are you sure?"

Su Xiao couldn't wait to embark on the road to the temple, and didn't look back to pay attention to the next sentence, "Of course."

The last cloud in the sky has faded from its golden red color, and the sun has faded and completely set down.

Night is coming.

Inside Lanruo Temple, it was dark.

"Brother Yan, I don't know what time it is."

"I guess it will be dawn soon. Brother Ning, you have worked hard this night."

"It's not hard work, it's just reading." Ning Caichen said softly in a hoarse voice, "I have been studying hard all these years, how can I be afraid of this little time for studying."

Yan Chixia clenched the sword in her hand, and said: "Not everyone has the ability to recite several books of sage's words in the dark. Brother Ning, you are too humble!"

Ning Caichen smiled lightly, and also praised: "Brother Yan is really capable of cutting vines with a sword in the dark."

"Hahahaha, to meet is to be destined, brother Ning boasted so much that the old man's face turned red!"

Yan Chixia let out a long laugh, "The tree demon's strength is about to decline, we'll wait until dawn, brother Ning—be careful, it's coming again!!"

In the dark temple, there was a strange "cluck" sound suddenly.

Unlike the vines that sneaked up in single digits just now, the overwhelming black netting pockets attacked!

Yan Chixia instinctively felt that her hairs were standing on end, she stepped back, pinched Ning Caichen, and retreated to the weakest point of the attack.

"Zheng!"

The long sword was unsheathed and cut off a vine.

"Zheng!"

The scabbard flew out and shattered the dagger hidden in the shadows that stabbed Ning Caichen.

"Zheng!"

The hairpin on Yan Chixia's crown flew out, turning into a small sword and stabbing at the core of the dryad who had lost the protection of the vines outside!

The vines are fast, the little sword is even faster, and it has passed through the wall in an instant.

Sensing the danger, the tree demon immediately gave up hunting Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen, and a large number of vines hurried back to help.

With a long roar, Yan Chixia led Ning Caichen out through the wall.

The walls and load-bearing columns were destroyed one after another, and the hall, which had been in disrepair for a long time, finally collapsed!

Amid the dust, Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen stood there dumbfounded.

Today, God unexpectedly...

"Jie Jie, I didn't expect it, it's not yet dawn." The tree monster said with a smile, "If you judge the time wrongly, there is no hope for the two of you to survive, why don't you hurry up and get caught? For the sake of that stinky girl, I promise you Die badly."

Yan Chixia sneered, "You look ugly, but you think you are beautiful."

The two were back to back, and Ning Caichen said to Yan Chixia in a low voice: "Brother Yan, when you see a hope for a breakthrough, leave me alone and go to rescue the soldiers. Go for help."

"No, how can I abandon Brother Ning and you don't care!"

Ning Caichen looked up at the sky, and said anxiously, "Brother Yan, listen to me. We were deceived by that tree demon, and the astrology shows that it's only nightfall now! We won't be able to delay the next dawn!"

I can only survive if you bring rescue soldiers from the academy!Otherwise, I will drag you to die together! "

"But--"

Under the faint starlight, Ning Caichen's expression was extremely serious, "Brother Yan, I entrust you with my wealth and life."

The tree demon attacked with claws and teeth, and said at the same time: "Hey, if you want to save the soldiers, none of you can escape!"

While resisting the attack of the tree demon, Yan Chixia said angrily: "The thief is so rampant, I will definitely take Brother Ning back with me!"

The black vines suddenly stabbed at Ning Caichen.

This time Yan Chixia lost her scabbard, and she didn't have time to return her sword to cut through the vines, so she turned sideways to block the blow for him.

"Pfft"

The sound of the body being pierced was very clear in Ning Caichen's ears.

As Yan Chixia fought, the smell of blood gradually became stronger in the air.

Ning Caichen turned blue, and instinctively began to recite the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" aloud.

Deterred by Buddhist scriptures, the tree demon, who had been taught by the great monks, lingered on the vines and did not dare to go too far, and the two won a moment of respite.

Seeing Yan Chixia bleeding all over the place, Ning Caichen couldn't stop talking, but felt a little desperate in his heart:

Unexpectedly, he guarded the academy, searched for the powerful monsters everywhere, and finally found the head of the monster.In the end, he had to hope that the monsters in the academy could avenge him.

It's a pity that after his death, the children in the academy are still in danger, and the mother and wife at home have no one to support them...

Yan Chixia's sword was weaker than that of a sword, and she was gradually stretched left and right. Seeing vines suddenly sprang out from the ground, about to pierce his chest, a cold light flashed in the air, and half of the vine fell from the air to the ground.

The air was filled with the intoxicating aroma of wine. The Dryad staggered and wanted to continue chasing and killing the two of them, but he missed his aim.

When the crisis was over, Yan Chixia breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the ground with her sword reluctantly, and bowed her hands in salute: "I don't know which senior is in front of you, brother Yan, thank you for saving your life."

Su Xiao closed "Greek Mythology Dionysus", and said: "You are polite, I should thank you for saving brother Ning. If you hadn't been for your righteousness and perseverance, he would have been eaten by the tree demon."

Seeing Su Xiao, Ning Caichen just woke up and stopped chanting, nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, thanks to brother Yan's perseverance, and thanks to the mountain chief's timely action, otherwise Ning would have died here. "

He glanced at the tree roots that seemed to be dead and slumped on the ground, and said in shock, "The monster, is it dead?"

"No." As if to verify her words, Su Qing pierced the thickest tree root with the snow-white dagger in her hand.

The black tree roots trembled slightly, and a foul-smelling liquid flowed out.

Yan Chixia stared at the young man in Tsing Yi, and her relaxed body stretched into a bow again:

That man's demonic aura, snow-white and poisonous snake-toothed dagger... He is the "Master Bamboo" in the mouth of the little demon, the Green Snake Lord!

According to legend, the green snake and the white snake are inseparable. Where is the other white snake?

Su Qing didn't regard the sloppy Taoist's vigilance as a threat, pulled out the snake-tooth dagger, frowned and said to Su Xiao: "I found someone, let's go, we can't stay here for long."

Su Xiao blinked, and smiled kindly at Ning Caichen: "Xin Weng is worried about the basic necessities of the whole family. I am the only one who has the most leisure time in the academy, so I was sent to find you, sir. It has been three days since the holiday, Mr. Ning. Go, those monkeys are about to turn upside down."

Ning Caichen had mixed feelings: "Thank you, Master, I will go back with you." He looked at where the tree demon was, with a hesitant expression, "Please wait a moment, I promise to save a girl from suffering."

The embarrassed scholar fell to the ground, walked towards the root of the tree demon without looking back, knelt down on one knee, and pulled out several urns from the root of the tree.

As soon as they left the tree demon, the charming female ghosts appeared one after another, bowing gracefully to Ning Caichen, and thanking the scholar in a hurry.

Ning Caichen asked the female ghosts to claim their ashes with a righteous face, and after confirming that there were no omissions, he wrapped all the ashes with his hem.

Su Xiao was amazed when he saw it: "As expected of a scholar, there are romances everywhere I go. I'm afraid this ghost has a palm of his hand." It's impossible to tell who is the heroine Nie Xiaoqian!

Seeing that the food on the plate was about to run away with the tool ghost, the dying tree demon said angrily and fearfully: "You can go, leave that stinky girl Xiaoqian behind!"

Su Qing sneered: "I didn't know that my defeated generals would dare to be rampant."

The tree demon gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not as strong as a human. I want to kill or cut me up. But the owner of the mountain is about to marry Xiaoqian, and you will definitely bring disaster if you take her away. I told the smelly girl about this, but she concealed it to get away. If you don't report it, the stinky girl has no good intentions, so you are not afraid of being held accountable by the master?"

Yan Chixia raised her brows upside down, "Which monster is doing evil again?!"

Young Master Tsing Yi laughed mockingly: "The only one who can be called the owner of the mountain is the Lord of the eight hundred miles of mountains and rivers here, Lord Heishan!"

The dryad shook off the withered yellow leaves on the ground, and said viciously: "It is my lord. Since you know my lord's name, you should know that he will never let the provocateur go. I am waiting for you under the underworld—"

The dryad's voice gradually became quieter and gradually disappeared. The withered and blackened leaves fell to the ground, and there was no grass left within a few feet.

Su Xiao: Meow meow?Heijiao Buluan wants to marry Nie Xiaoqian?

Isn't he pursuing Miss Bai? ! !

The author has something to say: The three-dimensional dimension has been busy recently, I am very sorry, but I promise to finish it well!
