Chapter 124 Changes of Ning Caichen
"Book student, you are awake!" Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen who woke up and said.
Ning Caichen looked up at the sun shining outside the window, rubbed his head, and asked Yan Chixia beside him in a daze: "Where is this? Why am I here!"
After hearing Ning Caichen's words, Yan Chixia replied, "Of course, this is Lanruo Temple. I brought you here."
"Lanruo Temple! Didn't you say it was haunted here?" Ning Caichen exclaimed and looked around in fear.
Yan Chixia nodded and said, "It's because of the ghost that I brought you. And tonight, we will be here to share with them.
"Ah..! We!" After Ning Caichen pointed to Yan Chixia, he pointed to himself and couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.
Yan Chixia got up and pushed open the window and explained, "Of course, they wouldn't have bothered me without you, a slender scholar. So tonight I'm going to use you as an introduction to lead them out and get rid of them all.
Ning Caichen listened to Yan Chixia's words and said to himself weakly, "We don't have to do this. In fact, it's not easy for them to be ghosts. Why don't we sit down and talk about it, have a good talk at the table, and then turn war into jade and silk.
"You are a big-headed ghost! That old demon has put up with me for a long time. If I don't take this opportunity to get rid of him, I will be uneasy. Yan Chixia looked at the retreating Ning Caichen and scolded angrily.
Ning Caichen looked at Yan Chixia with a resolute face, touched her head, and asked hesitantly, "Beard, is that little Qian really a ghost?"
Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen, who was a little sad, and then waved to him and said, "Since you still have a fantasy, come with me." After saying this, Yan Chixia pushed the door and went out.
Where are you going, beard? There are ghosts here! Beard?" Ning Caichen looked at Yan Chixia's disappeared back and quickly got up from the ground.
"What's going on! I'm so dizzy!" Ning Caichen, who stood up in a hurry, held the table beside him and couldn't stand still.
Just when Ning Caichen shook his head and wanted to wake up, Yan Chixia, who had left, retreated.
"Bout your mouth." Yan Chixia, who returned to the house, held a green paste-like object in her hand and approached Ning Caichen's mouth.
"Wo!" Ning Caichen looked at the green unknown object on the tip of his nose, made a dry vomiting sound, covered his mouth, and shook his head repeatedly.
"What is this? It smells so bad!" Ning Caichen looked at the things in Yan Chixia's hand with disgust and turned his head aside.
Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen, shook her head helplessly, and then explained, "Your body suffered from the wind and cold, and yesterday, you fainted. This is the herb I gave you. If you want to be fine soon, just eat it. This is my unique secret recipe. It works very well.
"Herbals!" Ning Caichen looked at the thing in Yan Chixia's hand, which was like green stool, and said with some fear: "This is too stinky! Can I not eat it?"
Yan Chixia slapped the herbs in her hand on Ning Caichen's hand, and then answered affirmatively: "Don't you want to eat it, do you? No problem. Anyway, you're going to attract the tree demon later. If you want to die in Lanruo Temple tonight, you don't have to eat it!"
"Ah...!" Ning Caichen looked at the herbs in his hand, hesitated for a while, put it into his mouth, and then swallowed it desperately.
"It stinks! It stinks more than stinky tofu!" Ning Caichen covered his mouth with an ugly face, and the expression on his face was like eating a fly.
Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen's appearance and said unhappily, "Don't cry. My medicine is very expensive. You can take it as anyone!"
wiping the slag from the corners of his mouth, Ning Caichen kept touching his stomach. Then he followed Yan Chixia out and asked carefully, "Big beard, do you think Xiaoqian is really a ghost? And I'm sick. Where are you going to take me?
Yan Chixia turned over her horse and replied, "Take my medicine, and you will be fine. We are now going to get rid of the little ghosts under the tree demon. Those little ghosts are hiding in their respective ashes altars during the day. As long as we break the ashes altar, we can break the tree demon's arm and make it unable to command these evil spirits. As for whether Xiaoqian is a ghost or not, you can see for yourself later.
After hearing this, Ning Caichen felt a sense of relaxation in his body, and then turned over another horse.
"Drive.." With the wielding of the horse whip, the two walked through the inaccessible path.
"Bache, why do you have to kill them? Do you have a grudge against that tree spirit? Ning Caichen looked at Yan Chixia, who kept changing direction, and asked loudly.
"I am good, he is evil. Since ancient times, good and evil have been recontiguous. If I see them harming people and don't get rid of them, what else should I do with this ability? After hearing this, Yan Chixia tightened the bow and arrow on her back and replied.
After hearing these simple words, Ning Caichen looked at Yan Chixia with admiration, not only for his heart.
"Big beard, can you hit them?" Ning Caichen slapped the mount under his body a few times and chased after him.
"That tree spirit is a thousand-year-old tree, and its mana is comparable to mine. I don't know if I can get rid of demons tonight." After saying this, Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen who ran to her side and asked, "Scholy, we may not be able to come back today. Are you afraid?"
"Fear, and not ordinary fear. However, I figured it out, so I'm afraid I have to go. I can't forget Xiaoqian, so I have to see with my own eyes whether Xiaoqian is a ghost and whether she is forced by the tree demon. Drive.." After saying that, Ning Caichen patted the horse's head and ran out quickly towards the front.
Looking at Ning Caichen who rushed out, Yan Chixia accelerated and laughed in a low voice; "Hahaha, when it COMES TO Xiaoqian, you are not even afraid of ghosts! You are so infatuated! But someone likes Xiaoqian. I don't think you have any hope.
"Bache, we seem to be lost!" Ning Caichen, who ran for a while, looked at the path that had run back and forth three or four times in front of him, turned around and said to Yan Chixia, and did not hear what Yan Chixia had just said.
"Oh.." Yan Chixia grabbed the horse rope and then looked at the surrounding environment without blinking. After observing for a while, Yan Chixia smiled at Ning Caichen and said, "It seems that the old tree spirit is not as strong as we think, otherwise it will not use the method of changing the direction of the trees to deal with us."
Ning Caichen listened and asked with a frown: "Change the direction! Who said that this old tree spirit changed the location of the big tree to mislead us?
"It's no big deal. Look at me breaking his spell." Yan Chixia said, took off the big bow behind her, and then put on a long arrow painted with a Taoist charm.
With a loud shout, Yan Chixia filled the bow and arrow, and then shot at the big tree beside her.
"Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong." After four muffled sounds in a row, Yan Chixia, who shot four arrows at the big tree, ran wildly and said, "I fixed the minions of these tree demons with runes and arrows. Now the road ahead is open. Let's go quickly."
In this way, after a small episode, Yan Chixia and the two came to the mass grave unimpeded all the way.
Yan Chixia turned over and disassumed her horse, and then walked in the mass grave and said, "Look at it yourself. This is the mass grave. The ashes of those ghosts are all here. There should be some in it. The tombstone called Xiaoqian you mentioned."
"Xiaoqian, Xiaoqian!" Ning Caichen eagerly searched in the tombstone to find out the answer in his heart.
An hour later, Yan Chixia, who was disgraced by destroying other ashes altars, found Ning Caichen with a dull face.
Yan Chixia looked at the seven words written on the tombstone, the tomb of her beloved daughter Nie Xiaoqian, and asked Ning Caichen, who was kneeling on the ground, "How's it going!" Now you know."
Ning Caichen looked at Yan Chixia with a sighing face and asked with fascination, "Xiaoqian's piano sound is so clear, as clear as a small river. How can she be a ghost? How can she harm people?"
Yan Chixia thought for a moment and replied, "You have to ask herself, but these lonely ghosts have no place to live, and their days are also very sad."
Ning Caichen nodded and said firmly, "Let's go back to Lanruo Temple. I'm going to see Xiaoqian tonight and ask her what's wrong." After saying this, Ning Caichen looked at Yan Chixia with a smiling face and said again, "Beard, what do you mean by love?"
"Love!" After listening and thinking about it, Yan Chixia said helplessly, "I don't know that people like us are not suitable for love, otherwise we will harm others and ourselves."
Ning Caichen stroked Nie Xiaoqian's tombstone and asked confusedly, "I only saw Xiaoqian a few times, but whenever I close my eyes, I can't help but think of her smile. Beard, do you think this is love?
"I don't know" Yan Chixia simply shook her head.
"I will accompany you back to Lanruo Temple. Even if I die, I will look at Xiaoqian again and ask her what she thinks." After Ning Caichen finished speaking, he left without looking back.
"Alas! Scholar, what's wrong with you! Is the word love really so charming that it can make people forget life and death? Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen's back and couldn't understand the meaning of this word.
After thinking for a while, Yan Chixia, who couldn't figure it out, couldn't help looking at the white clouds above her head and fell into meditation.
As the two rushed, Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen rushed all the way back to Lanruo Temple.
After returning to Lanruo Temple, Yan Chixia handed over a Diamond Sutra and a bell in Ning Caichen's hand and said, "As soon as you see that things are not good, you can ring the bell. As long as the bell rings, I will come to save you, and you can put this Diamond Sutra on your body to defend yourself."
Ning Caichen looked at the Diamond Sutra handed over by Yan Chixia, shook his head and said firmly, "Beard, can you give me a weapon? I know that Xiaoqian doesn't like my bookishness, so I don't want this Diamond Sutra, and I don't want Xiaoqian to see my cowardly appearance.
Yan Chixia looked at the Diamond Sutra pushed back by Ning Caichen and asked heavily, "Book student, are you sure you don't want it? You don't know martial arts. If you don't hold this Diamond Sutra, you will die then.
"Death! What is death? Ning Caichen looked at the bamboo basket behind him, then solved it with a smile, and threw the bamboo basket directly out of the window in Yan Chixia's surprised eyes.
Yan Chixia looked at the smashed bamboo basket on the second floor and asked Ning Caichen strangely, "Schosen, what's wrong with you? Don't you want your sage book?"
"Ha ha, people must have a pursuit when they live. In the past, I hoped to be the title of the gold list, but now it's not." Ning Caichen said, took out a small white flower picked in the mass grave from his arms, and then inserted it into his head.
Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen's appearance and explained while telling Ning Caichen a golden needle, "Scholy, this is the broken golden needle that I cast a spell, which is the nemesis of all demons, but I really hope that you will not be useful." After saying this, Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen, who held the golden needle tightly in his hand, and shook her head. "Scholy, don't be stupid. You have only known that Xiaoqian for a few days! It's not worth doing this."
Ning Caichen heard the sound, looked at the sunset out of the window and said with a smile, "You are a Taoist priest of abstinence. You don't have this feeling of me, so you won't understand what I think now."
Yan Chixia looked deeply at Ning Caichen, because he really didn't understand what love was and why it could bring so much power to this weak scholar.
" Take care of yourself" Yan Chixia sighed and then flew out of the window.
Ning Caichen looked at the departing Yan Chixia, then looked at the sunset outside the window and sat motionless on the floor.
