The spider spirit's spiritual skills are too shallow. Even the strongest Spider Queen only has 500 years of cultivation. Although Jiang Fan gained some merit points, it did not meet the conditions for the second main task.
Jiang Fan remembered that whether it was the movie version or the TV series version of A Chinese Ghost Story, there were many big demons in it, such as the Dryad Granny, the Black Mountain Old Demon, and the Moon Demon, who definitely met the requirements.
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan asked tentatively: "Donor Yan, do you know where Lanruo Temple is?"
"Master wants to go to Lanruo Temple? There are demons causing trouble here. With the master's magic power, the demons can be conquered and eliminated. I will take you there."
Yan Hongye is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, kind and upright. She has practiced "Xuanxin Secret Secret Art" since she was a child, inspiring to slay demons and eliminate evil, and support the righteous path in the world.
She recently lived in Nanguo Town and discovered that there were monsters eating people in Lanruo Temple.
There is a big demon among them, and Yan Hongye is not absolutely sure of eradicating it. Since "Fahai" also wants to go to Lanruo Temple, she is naturally willing to lead the way.
Along the way, Yan Hongye told Jiang Fan about Lanruo Temple.
Lanruo Temple is a famous temple in Nanguo Town. It is so popular that even the Buddha statues in the temple are plated with gold.
Originally, the temple was dedicated to the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, and there were monks who chanted sutras and practiced meditation all year round. The incense was plentiful, and the Buddha's shadow was supposed to be there, giving it an aura of peace and harmony.
Goblins and ghosts should be avoided.
Even if the temple has been abandoned for hundreds of years, there will still be Buddhist energy left, which can deter evil spirits around.
However, the poison of the human heart is more powerful than the devil.
It was precisely because of the wealth of Lanruo Temple that he was killed.
Decades ago, a group of horse thieves broke into Lanruo Temple, burned, killed, looted, and killed all the monks in the temple.
The golden Buddhas originally enshrined in Lanruo Temple were broken and moved away, and the temple was stained with blood, which destroyed the Buddhist spirit of Lanruo Temple and made the place no longer effective in deterring demons.
More than thirty years ago, Lanruo Temple was occupied by a group of demons, which has caused trouble ever since.
In Nanguo Town, Lanruo Temple has become a taboo term, and no one dares to go near it.
However, passers-by often choose to stay at Lanruo Temple for convenience. There are often female ghosts and banshees tempting passers-by and sucking their blood.
I don’t know how many souls and bones are buried under this temple!
Yan Hongye only arrived in Nanguo Town recently. Because her strength was limited, she was exterminating demons and ghosts in the periphery.
The spider lair is only a few dozen miles away from Lanruo Temple.
According to what Yan Hongye said.
The spider spirit in the spider lair is the same as the monster in Lanruo Temple. No wonder he knows the old monster from Montenegro.
During the conversation, Jiang Fan and Yan Hongye were speeding along and soon arrived at Lanruo Temple.
Lanruo Temple is located deep in the mountains. Because it has been in disrepair for many years, the surrounding area is covered with vines and looks dilapidated.
After getting closer, Jiang Fan felt that the place was mixed with evil and ghostly aura.
"Evil demons don't know how high the sky is, and they dare to desecrate even the pure places of Buddhism. Tonight, I will kill them all."
Jiang Fan does not discriminate against monsters, but as a human being, he will not show mercy when encountering monsters that prey on humans.
As for Buddhist holy places, Jiang Fan actually doesn't care too much. He just borrowed Fahai's identity and is not a real monk.
Jiang Fan doesn't care about any rules or regulations.
The two walked into Lanruo Temple. As expected, the Buddha statues in the main hall had been damaged long ago, and even most of the main hall collapsed.
However, the backyard of this ruined temple is relatively well preserved, but there are grasses growing everywhere, and occasionally some bones can be seen.
In the backyard, in addition to the remaining half of the apse, there is also a row of two-story buildings, which should have been the monks' rooms where monks lived in the past.
The monk's room is relatively well preserved, but it has been abandoned for a long time. It is covered with dust, the corners are covered with cobwebs, and there are various snakes, insects, rats and ants infested.
However, those demons and ghosts have not yet revealed their whereabouts. Jiang Fan and Yan Hongye both restrained their auras to avoid alerting the snakes, allowing the demons to be alert and flee.
"Take a short rest first, wait for the demon to appear, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop."
As he spoke, Jiang Fan waved his cassock, creating a strong wind that swept away the dust and cobwebs in the two monks' rooms to the east. The decayed furniture also weathered into ashes and was swept out of the room together, dissipating into the night.
In the wind.
The two of them entered the room. The huge monk's room was empty and spotless.
Jiang Fan turned his hands, took out various items from the space ring, and simply decorated the room.
Jiang Fan will never treat himself badly if conditions permit.
When Yan Hongye saw this, she thought to herself: "It seems that Fa Hai is still a very particular monk."
After a simple arrangement, the two of them shared a room and set up formations respectively.
The night is dark and the moon is misty.
Just at this moment, a burst of elegant music and singing came.
"La~ lala~ la~ la la~ la la la~"
Sing softly, like weeping or complaining.
"Crunch~"
Jiang Fan and Ye Hongyu opened the door at the same time and looked behind Lanruo Temple.
Yan Hongye sneered: "Playing the piano under the moon is so elegant!"
"Almsgiver Yan, please stay here while the poor monk goes to take a look."
Jiang Fan wanted to see which version of Nie Xiaoqian was playing the piano in Lanruo Temple?
"Master, be careful."
Yan Hongye reminded her and said no more.
Like a mortal, Jiang Fan strolled out of the backyard, passed through a dense forest, and suddenly saw a small pavilion in the middle of the lake.
This set looks very similar to the scene in the movie version of Wang Zuxian's performance in A Chinese Ghost Story.
The pavilion is full of ancient charm, with white silk flying around it, and a floating bridge connecting the two banks of the pavilion.
The faint sound of the piano and the lamentations of the relatives seemed lonely and desolate under the night, adding a bit of sadness.
The person playing the piano in the pavilion was a woman dressed in white, with an indescribable aura of being out of the world all over her body.
From so far away, Jiang Fan could feel a touch of sadness and - evil spirit!
Demon, not ghost!
Isn’t Nie Xiaoqian playing the piano?
Or is Nie Xiaoqian here a demon rather than a ghost?
There are many versions of A Chinese Ghost Story, and Nie Xiaoqian's life background is different, and Jiang Fan is not sure.
Stepping onto the bridge, the woman in the pavilion in the middle of the lake felt something. When her hand movement stopped, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and she asked with a little panic: "Who is outside?"
Her voice was gentle and graceful, with a sense of coolness.
Jiang Fan stood on the pontoon, in sight.
The woman playing the piano seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. She was beautiful and dignified, with a bit of innocence and panic in her eyes.
Her appearance is different from the various versions of Nie Xiaoqian Jiang Fan has seen.
Under his discerning eyes, Jiang Fan discovered that the woman in front of him was actually a snow elf.
At the same time, the evil spirit in Lanruo Temple began to become stronger.
Sitting in the monk's room, Yan Hongye soon discovered that the source of the evil spirit came from the dry well in the backyard.
At this moment, a group of little demons flew out of the dry well, seemingly preparing to go hunting.
Yan Hongye hesitated slightly, left a book with his sword in the room, and then chased him out.
