Come and move bricks with Daji [comprehensive mythology]

"Grandma, I think that young man has a lot of aura, and I'm afraid he's not just for nothing... Shall we do it?"

Lanruo Temple, deep underground.

Surrounded by many female ghosts, an old woman dressed in fine clothes and with an old face sat in the center. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "I think he's just showing his appearance. Of course we have to do something, but right now Not yet."

This old woman was naturally transformed from the spirit of the locust tree, because the tree has no gender, but the fallen leaves can sprout and grow up after taking root, which can be described as hermaphrodite.

Because of this, she looks like an old woman on the outside, but sounds like a man, which only makes people feel very weird.

The person who asked the question just now was the beautiful woman who was snuggling beside her. After getting the answer, she rolled her eyes and immediately understood the meaning, and then said with a sweet smile: "It seems that grandma wants a good meal." One meal?"

"You're still a ghostly girl, not like them."

Stretching out a withered and old hand, rubbing against the smooth and beautiful face of the other party, the old woman laughed bitterly: "It's already night, the sun has set, and you have no natural enemies, so it's up to you next, don't let me see you." I'm disappointed."

Following an order, countless female ghosts flew out, and then searched for their targets in the small forest with Lanruo Temple as the origin.

Indeed, the dryad's grandma never made a move, not because she was afraid of Lu Yang.

But he felt that Lu Yang alone was not enough for him to do it himself, and these female ghosts under his hands were enough to deal with it.

And the female ghosts swarmed out, of course not to catch Lu Yang.

Earlier, many people had strayed into the labyrinth, and if there were no accidents, they would all become a delicious meal for the dryad's grandma.

Although he cultivated an evil method, this locust tree spirit was not very courageous. While making friends with many evil spirits from outside sects, he still adopted the most common method of seduction against these female ghosts.

To put it bluntly, let the female ghost seduce mortals, and then bring them to him, and let him harvest them himself.

It looks like a perfect routine, but in fact it can only deal with ordinary people.

"Can't bear it anymore?"

At the same time as those female ghosts flew out of the ground, Lu Yang, who felt the changes in the underground Yin Qi, also opened his eyes.

He was sitting at the gate of Lanruo Temple at this time, but he had no intention of going in. If he didn't know, he thought he was waiting for someone.

But in fact, Lu Yang was indeed waiting for someone.

That person is destined to come to Lanruo Temple today, and then be entangled by the female ghost.

"Hey, is there anyone here?"

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Just when Lu Yang thought of the other party, not far away, a young man dressed as a scholar walked out of the woods with a lantern.

"If there is no one here, is it still a ghost?"

Standing up from the steps, while raising his hand to shake off the dust on his clothes, Lu Yang didn't wait for the other party to answer, he chuckled, "Look at you, you shouldn't be going to Beijing to rush for the exam, right?"

Although this young man was dressed as a scholar, he didn't look like the kind of examinee who was on his way to the barren mountains.

"Of course I'm not a candidate who came to Beijing to rush for the exam, and it's not the time to rush for the exam, but you little brother, it's interesting to talk."

Ning Caichen was holding a lantern in his hand and carrying a burden on his back. Now he took a few steps closer to see Lu Yang's appearance clearly.

Seeing that the person he was talking to was just a young man who didn't look weak, Ning Caichen suddenly lowered his vigilance, but he still asked, "Why don't you go home in the middle of the night? In this barren mountain?"

"I was passing by, because it was getting late, so I was forced to stay here."

Shaking his head with a smile, Lu Yang asked him again, "Then why did you come here?"

"I came here in a hurry to collect rent, but I didn't expect to come out too late, and it was already dark when I walked halfway. You know, the road is not easy to walk at night, so I wanted to find a place to rest Rest."

Ning Caichen might be a chatterbox, but Lu Yang just gave him a head start, and there is no need for him to make any more routines, the other party has already opened the chatterbox on his own, and there is a posture of being unable to stop it.

According to this man's confession, his surname is Ning, his name is Caichen, and he was originally from Jinhua, Zhejiang. Because of his family, he wanted to go to Qiantang to collect rent.

"You also know that night roads are not easy to walk, and you shouldn't go out at this time in the first place."

Listening to the other party's southern accent, Lu Yang felt a little nostalgic for the past when he said it, and even endured his talkativeness.

"After talking for a long time, you know everything about me, but I don't know your name. Is this unfair?"

Outside Lanruo Temple, they talked for a long time, Ning Caichen felt that he had reported all his family background, and finally realized that he didn't even know the name of the person in front of him.

"My surname is Lu. As for my first name, I won't mention it. It doesn't matter anyway."

Not caring about the other party's dissatisfied gaze, Lu Yang smiled, "If you talk about the family, I'm the only one. The so-called 'one person eats enough, the whole family doesn't worry', that's the reason. I'm not like Brother Ning, who has a lovely wife at home. .”

In the end, he couldn't help but sound a bit joking about what he said.

In fact, Lu Yang did find it quite amusing.

Although he knew this story originally belonged to Liaozhai, he didn't know Ying Caichen's life, so naturally he didn't know that Ying Caichen had already married a wife.

Because to him, Ning Caichen was just a literal character.

But after talking, listening to the other party's soft and waxy tone unique to the south, Lu Yang felt that this was a living person.

"All right……"

He waved his hands rather boredly, and Ning Caichen saw the light of the lantern in his hand flickering, which seemed to be going out, and only then did he realize it, and quickly asked, "After talking for a long time, why didn't you go in while standing at the door?"

"Do you think it's okay to go in?"

Lu Yang was not surprised at Ning Caichen's rhetorical question.

Human beings always have all kinds of curiosity.

But after thinking about it for a while, he still implicitly warned: "If Brother Ning listens to my advice, he'd better rest here for one night, and it's best not to go in."

Lanruo Temple looks like a Buddhist temple on the outside, but under the dilapidated appearance, the interior has long been reduced to a monster den.

There are even countless female ghosts below, like a ghost land.

It's just that Lu Yang can't say these words, on the one hand, if he comes out, he will scare the snake, and it is more likely to interfere with the operation of this world.

On the other hand, after he said it, the other party might not believe it.

After all, people are always like this. Without seeing it with their own eyes, they usually have a dubious attitude towards unknown things.

Unless there is strong evidence to show that it is true, most people are more willing to believe their own feelings than others' words.

"It's strange what you said. This temple is so solemn and grand, why can't you enter?"

Sure enough, facing Lu Yang's words, Ning Caichen smiled, obviously not taking it seriously.

"It's fine if it's an ordinary Buddhist temple, but you see that this temple was built in a barren mountain, and there are no villages around it, and there are no people living in peace, not to mention that there are no believers, no incense offerings, and there are not even monks among them. It has long been cut off, so this huge temple is naturally empty."

Putting his hands in front of his body, at the end, Lu Yang said bluntly: "Any such unowned temples are not maintained by believers, nor guarded by spiritual light, and they are prone to evil spirits."

Having said all of this, the meaning of the point is self-evident.

"I don't think so. Although this temple is located in a remote place, it looks majestic and magnificent. Obviously, it is because people often maintain it. If there are no monks here, why is the temple so clean?"

However, Ning Caichen still didn't believe Lu Yang's words, so he walked in with a lantern.

"It seems that fate should have such a catastrophe."

Watching the other party walk into Lanruo Temple, Lu Yang only felt that the gusts of wind blowing around him were more intense than before, so he could only sigh in his heart.

Sure enough, the number of days is irreversible, he originally wanted to prevent Ning Caichen from entering Lanruo Temple.

If it is only outside, plus him, it may not be impossible to spend the night safely.

But now that Ning Caichen has all invested in the stronghold of the dryad's grandmother, the result is hard to say.

Although the ending of the story is often beautiful, in reality, everything is practical.

Just because Ning Caichen is such an ordinary mortal, let alone a tree spirit grandma with nearly a thousand years of mana, it is estimated that even ordinary female ghosts under him can't win.

So if the ending must be perfect, then it must not be because of Ning Caichen's strength alone.

After all, there are often all kinds of teammates around the protagonist.

"The first one has come, will the second be far behind?"

Seeing the bright moon rising in the sky, Lu Yang narrowed his eyes, and followed him into the gate of Lanruo Temple.

In fact, Ning Caichen is not lame, his aesthetics is still normal.

Originally, when Lu Yang arrived, the Lanruo Temple he saw was just a ruined wall.

However, in order to successfully guide these passers-by into Lanruo Temple for lodging, the tree demon grandma also spent a lot of thought.

After the dilapidated building was modified by the illusion of the dryad's grandmother, it did reproduce some shadows of the heyday.

The gate and the main hall do not look dilapidated, but resplendent and magnificent, and even the doors and windows of the houses on the left and right sides are only concealed. It seems that the owner just left for a while because of some business. The pool in the courtyard is full of lotus flowers. , There are bamboos growing outside the yard.

It all looks refined and elegant, and it looks good,

However, if it is a normal person, thinking that this temple is located in the wilderness, and there is such a beautiful scenery, won't this give rise to a sense of disobedience?

"It really doesn't look like it will."

With doubts in his heart, Lu Yang still shook his head when he saw Ning Caichen pushed open the half-hidden door and walked into a small courtyard in the south.

Maybe ordinary people are blinded by illusions, so they subconsciously ignore such details?

Anyway, judging from Ning Caichen's reaction, it should be like this.
