Chapter 47: Ning Caichen in Lanruo Temple
Dreams follow the wind for thousands of miles, and the world of mortals comes and goes several times. People's faces and peach blossoms are remembered forever, and the beauty of spring turns to the green of autumn one year after another.
Outside the city of Wuzhou (that is, Jinhua), Zhejiang, there is an abandoned temple called Lanruo. Twenty miles away from Lanruo Temple, there is a town called Luoshan.
Heading from Luoshan Town to Wuzhou City, they passed through a dense forest. In the forest, Lanruo Temple is located.
Because men often get lost around Lanruo Temple, and some even turn into skinny bones and die violently within a few days after returning from Lanruo Temple. There are rumors that it is haunted, but the government ignores it, so Lanruo Temple gradually becomes Wuzhou
In the forbidden areas of the mountain towns around the city, even the woodcutter who often goes to the mountains dare not go to the Lanruo Temple area.
As time went by, the trees around Lanruo Temple became denser and more eerie. On a dark summer night, black clouds pressed overhead, and there was a low thunder in the sky, which was a sign of rain. The wind howled and slapped on the screen window.
In Lanruo Temple, the main hall and pagoda are very magnificent, but the ground is covered with basil that is taller than a person. It seems that no one has been here for a long time. The doors of the buildings where monks live on the east and west sides are all ajar, except for the door of a small house in the south.
, as if there was a new lock hanging on it. There is a piece of bamboo in the east corner of the hall, and there is a large pond under the steps, with wild lotus roots growing in clusters and already blooming.
In the main hall, there was firelight at this time. In front of the collapsed Buddha statue, a bonfire was burning, reflecting several figures around it. Two scholars dressed up, one with disheveled hair and a strong man as tall as an iron tower, and another with a face.
A dark-skinned, honest and honest young man, an incomparably beautiful woman, and a scholar in green.
The two people dressed as scholars, a handsome young man with a delicate face and a calm and restrained young man in a white shirt, started chatting, ranging from poetry and classics to national affairs, national affairs, and family affairs. They chatted about everything in their hearts.
study.
The other people were silent and listened quietly.
There were only a few of them, but they were Ning Wuque, Ning Wushuang, Ning Bowu, Ruolan, and the bandit leader Chen Qinglong. There was also one person, the young man in white shirt, whose surname was also Ning. He had a name that has been passed down through the ages, Ning Caichen!
After leaving Qingyun County in mid-March, Ning Wuque and his friends have been traveling around the south of the Yangtze River and arrived in Wuzhou, Zhejiang. It was already the end of May and it was midsummer. Because they met Yan Chixia, Ning Wuque was also very fond of Lanruo Temple.
In anticipation, I thought Ning Caichen should go to Beijing to take the exam, but I didn't want to meet him in Lanruo Temple.
As midnight approached, the night outside became a little darker. The temple door swayed and creaked. Ning Caichen seemed a little uneasy and looked outside the door from time to time.
"I see that Brother Caichen is absent-minded, is there something on his mind?" Ning Wuque's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Ning Caichen with a smile on his face.
Ning Caichen sighed softly. He and Ning Wuque's group just met by chance. They had some words, but he didn't know whether to say it or not. Even he felt that this matter was a bit too dreamy, foggy and unreal.
Perhaps because of their surname Ning, Ning Caichen did not reject the Ning brothers very much. After chatting, he also felt that Ning Wuque was a reliable person. He glanced outside the door, thought for a while, and said: "How many times?"
Hey, have you heard about Lanruo Temple being haunted?"
"No way? How can there be any ghosts in this world?" Chen Qinglong stayed aside and couldn't help but open his mouth and said. After he was shocked by Ning Wuque in Yixiang Garden, he had no choice but to seek refuge with Ning Wuque in order to save his life.
At that time, even if Ning Wuque let him go, Li Xiuning would not let him go. Ning Wuque didn't want to take him in, but then he thought that he just lacked an old Jianghu by his side. Ning Wushuang and Ruolan were still too immature, and they didn't have the experience to make a living.
If there are many of them, Chen Qinglong will be the one accompanying them.
"To be honest with you, brothers, there are indeed ghosts and demons here." Ning Caichen said solemnly, "Brothers, it's better for you guys to take advantage of the fact that the ghosts and demons haven't come out yet, so you'd better go down the mountain as soon as possible. Don't lose your life because of this."
Ruolan covered her mouth and smiled, "There are ghosts and monsters, so the young master is still staying here?"
Helpless, Ning Caichen had no choice but to tell the story of how he and Nie Xiaoqian met in Lanruo Temple and how, with the help of Yan Chixia, they brought the female ghost back home.
As expected of a scholar, a very ordinary story was told by Ning Caichen vividly, with ups and downs. When it came to the emotional parts, even Ruolan shed tears for it, and when it came to the thrilling parts, even Ning Wuque was worried about it.
After Ning Caichen finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, "Xiaoqian was captured by the old monster from Montenegro. She doesn't know whether she is alive or dead. Master Yan went deep into the monster's cave for me. I haven't returned for a long time, but I can't do anything here. I'm useless as a scholar."
,Alas, I am such a waste."
Chen Qinglong pouted, "You are useless as a scholar? That's you, right?" Thinking back to the day when Ning Wuque killed dozens of masters, Chen Qinglong's back felt cold.
After a long sigh, Ning Caichen wiped the tears from his eyes and looked at Ning Wuque and the others, "Brothers and girls, it's better to leave quickly. If the monster comes and affects a few of them, Caichen will be guilty of a big crime."
"What about you?" Ruolan looked at Ning Caichen, feeling sad in her heart. Is there such a sad and beautiful love in the world?
"Me? Xiaoqian and I have made an agreement not to live together, but to die together. If Xiaoqian dies, what's the use of living alone? Not to mention it will implicate Daxia Yan. I have to wait here, wait
Master Yan comes back, or waits for the demons to come."
Ning Caichen's eyes were firm, and in Ning Wuque's eyes, Ning Caichen's Tianling Cap was filled with a faint white aura. He was also a person with deep luck like Li Xiuning.
There may be other reasons why Yan Chixia helped Ning Caichen four times. Ning Wuque secretly guessed.
At this moment, a dazzling white light flashed outside, thunder, thunder, a roar, and heavy rain came.
"Yan Chixia, you have entered our Black Mountain several times. Do you think that I don't dare to kill you? Nie Xiaoqian is my concubine. Please let it go quickly. Otherwise, I will definitely go to Xuanxin Dao Sect to ask for an explanation.
That’s it.”
Amid the thunder, a gloomy sound spread throughout the forest, shaking the walls of Lanruo Temple and causing dust to fall.
Outside, under the lightning, ghosts lingered, demons danced wildly, it was gloomy and miserable, demons cried and howled, and the shrill sounds frightened Ruolan's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but lean towards Ning Wuque.
Chen Qinglong and Ning Wushuang stood up suddenly, drew out their long knives, their eyes brightened.
Ning Caichen was stunned for a moment, then stood up and rushed outside. Ning Wuque sniffed the fragrance around him.
Because of fear, Ruolan's soft body almost completely pressed against him, trembling slightly, her pale face couldn't help but said: "Is there really a ghost?"
"Old demon from Black Mountain is a danger to one side. If you dare to go to Xuanxin Dao Sect, why do you want to show off your evil here?"
