Chapter 1069: A Chinese Ghost Story (5)
Lanruo Temple is rich in aura and is a treasure land of geomantic omen, otherwise it would be difficult to breed such a powerful tree demon. In this world, there are no gods or buddhas, evil spirits and demons are rampant in the world, a centipede spirit can turn into the golden body of a Tathagata to deceive people, and even dare to seek to cultivate the dragon spirit of the dynasty. This is a very corrupt world.
It has no positive power here at all, so even if it is a blessed place, it can only breed powerful monsters. This is the case around Lanruo Temple. Why did Yan Chixia insist on running to a tree demon to live in seclusion? At the beginning, he had no intention of killing demons and demons, and wanted to live in peace: he didn't come here for the tree demons at all, but because the environment here was conducive to cultivation.
Several rooms in Lanruo Temple have been tidied up by Huang Chao, and they already look like normal rooms. He discussed Taoism with Yan Chixia during the day, and meditated at other times. Ning Caichen went to see Xiaoqian at the small pavilion by the lake at night, but Yan Chixia felt a little bit of a monster, thinking of Huang Chao's words of "following her own heart", she rushed out anyway.
Huang Chao built the void air vein again, bringing the aura within a radius of a hundred miles into his circulation. The ascetics and monsters in this area all felt a hazy shadow cast over their hearts, but they didn't know why this feeling came from.
Wei Zheng and Cui Jue were still sleeping, so Huang Chao stayed in Lanruo Temple, waiting for them to wake up while practicing. Tonight, Ning Caichen went to find Xiaoqian. He first went to the place where the two met for the first time. Xiaoqian was not there, but grandma's tongue was moving there. If Ning Caichen stepped into it, he would be caught by his grandma immediately. Xiaoqian originally didn't want to meet Ning Caichen again, so she could only play the piano and lead him to her residence.
Ning Caichen jumped into Xiaoqian's boudoir through the window. Afterwards, grandma and another female ghost, Xiaoqing, appeared, and both of them found something strange in the house. Xiaoqian hid Ning Caichen in the tub, and pretended to take a bath several times to get into the tub as a cover: Feast your eyes on Ning Caichen , One person and one ghost have experienced this incident, so they are completely familiar with each other.
The existence of the dryad grandma is very interesting. Huang Chao found that it makes sense for it to be male and female when it speaks, because most plants are hermaphrodites, and the same is true for locust trees. A flower has both stamens and pistils. Thinking about it this way, it has been cultivated into a human form, so it is both a man and a woman, and there is nothing wrong with changing its voice. Huang Chao could see its tongue moving around Lanruo Temple for several miles. This structure is also very interesting, presumably it is formed by its roots. Plants rely on their roots to absorb nutrients, and dryads transform into shapes and use their tongues to absorb energy. This tongue grows underground, isn't it a reflection of the roots?
This tree demon is very interesting, Huang Chao thought, and flew up to kill this tree demon.
At this time Ning Caichen was confessing his love to Xiaoqian. Xiaoqian said sadly: "I have been betrothed to Master Heishan, and I will pass through the door in three days."
Ning Caichen looked at her affectionately: "I know you don't want to, if you have any difficulties, I'll take you out of here..." Xiaoqian looked up, the sky had already turned pale, and said in grief: "Dawn is coming soon! Alright, let me go."
Xiaoqian's ashes are in the hands of her grandma.
She couldn't escape the dryad's grasp. Ning Caichen said: "Isn't it better at dawn? We can leave immediately." The cock crowed, and Nie Xiaoqian shed tears. She could only reject Ning Caichen and say some hurtful words to cut off his lovesickness.
As soon as she took a deep breath, she heard someone not far away saying, "Brother Ning, are you here?"
Xiaoqian turned around in shock, and saw a scholar standing not far from her, looking at her and Ning Caichen. The man's face could not be seen clearly at all, because Xiaoqian seemed to be looking directly at the sun by his side. She screamed and hid behind Ning Caichen, thinking tremblingly: "What a terrifying power, man, how can you do this?"
Ning Caichen smiled awkwardly: "Brother Huang, you're laughing. This is Miss Nie Xiaoqian. Uh, her family forced her to marry some kind of Lord Montenegro. Me, my..."
"You want to take her away and live happily together, right?"
"Hehe, that's what it means. Just kidding, kidding."
Xiaoqian said anxiously: "I'm leaving, I can't stay any longer!" She wanted to run away, but Huang Chao shook her head, and pulled the white gauze hanging from the kiosk, and the white gauze immediately grew up. In an instant, countless white gauzes hung down from the eaves, covering the small pavilion. The white gauze is thin, and you can see the outside scene through it, but the small pavilion cools down strangely.
Xiaoqian stopped in her tracks, the breath here made her feel more comfortable than when she was hiding in the columbarium. It was obviously just thin white gauze, but the shade they turned into made her no longer afraid of the sun. She could feel that being here was as safe as hiding in the columbarium.
Ning Caichen said: "Xiaoqian, this is the elder brother I met, Huang Chao. He is knowledgeable and talented, and his knowledge has already established a school. He is also a teacher and a friend to me. Brother Huang, I return the book you gave me earlier. I haven’t thanked you, but the words in it are deafening, my little brother has been taught.”
When he remembered this incident, he didn't care about "running away" with Xiaoqian, so he first thanked Huang Chao with a big salute. The rooster crowed three times, and a white belly appeared in the eastern sky. Xiaoqian looked at the beautiful scenery tremblingly, and asked softly, "Can I watch the sunrise here?"
Ning Caichen said: "What's the point of looking here, let's go outside to see." He stretched out his hand to pull the white gauze, but he couldn't move it at all. Ning Caichen remembered that this was Huang Chao's spell, and as soon as he turned his head, Huang Chao said, "Look here."
A round of red sun rises, and the warm sunlight shines into the small pavilion, and there is still sufficient light through the white gauze. Ning Caichen smiled and said to Xiaoqian: "Xiaoqian, the sky is already dawn, if you are willing to come with me, I will take you away..." He suddenly saw that Xiaoqian was already bursting into tears, crying like tears people.
"Hey, don't cry, I didn't take you away by force." Ning Caichen was at a loss. But Xiaoqian knelt heavily in front of Huang Chao, begging: "Master, please save me!"
She told her true identity. She was originally the daughter of an official. She was killed by an adulterer while passing by and was temporarily buried here. Her father was also killed soon after. She was controlled by the old locust tree to confuse men to absorb yang energy, and now she is married to the old black mountain demon. It was really sad for those who heard it, and tears for those who saw it. If Ning Caichen knew that Xiaoqian was a ghost from another channel, he would probably have to panic and fear for a while, and would have a mentality of guarding against Xiaoqian. But now the woman in his heart is in front of him, tears are pouring down like a spring, she is so charming, how can he harden his heart?
Huang Chao glanced at Ning Caichen, his face was pale, and then he did something that fit his identity - he knelt down opposite Xiaoqian, put his hands on her shoulders, looked into her eyes firmly, and said: " Xiaoqian, don't worry, I will definitely save you from grandma!"
"Brother Huang, please help us!"
