Sun God Champion

Chapter 220
Guobei County is not a bustling county seat.

Especially after many people died in Lanruo Temple, even fewer people were willing to come to Guobei County.

The county government also sent people to Lanruo Temple to investigate. It was fine during the day, but the arresters who went there at night disappeared.

After that, the county government no longer sent people to Lanruo Temple.

Originally, Guobei County was not a big place, and the county magistrate didn't have many arrests, and sending people there was perfunctory, and they didn't dare to investigate carefully.

No one dares to take risks when it comes to their own lives.

A notice was posted in the county town asking for an expert to go and solve it. After a few people died, no one dared to pick it up.

Lanruo Temple has since become a forbidden place.

The people in Guobei County changed their faces when they talked about it, and the passing businesses would rather take a long way than pass by Lanruo Temple.

The original commercial route directly bypassed Guobei County, which made Guobei County, which was not prosperous in the first place, even worse.

Businessmen are also concerned with their own safety.

When Yang An and Ning Caichen came to Guobei County, the atmosphere in the city was very strange.

A pile of yellow talismans was pasted at the gate of the city, looking like a sign to ward off evil spirits.

At the gate of the city, there are still wanted warrants, most of which are the heads of Jiang Yang's robbers.

The police quickly checked the people entering the city one by one.

Ning Caichen, who was walking in front of Yang An, was directly arrested and pressed on a row of yellow talismans. Not long after the rain stopped, Ning Caichen's clothes were still wet. After the yellow talismans were pasted on, the runes were printed on the up.

The policeman was about to use the same rude action on Yang An, but when Yang An looked sideways, the policeman didn't dare to do anything for a moment.

After checking Yang An's appearance, it was different from the arrest warrant, and left decisively.

As a catcher, you still need to be a bit knowledgeable, some people can't be provoked, especially those noble people, who don't know how to die if offended.

Yang An's aura is extraordinary, if he offends high-ranking officials, he will be the one who suffers.

Yang An walked into the city, and Ning Caichen bid farewell to Yang An directly because he wanted to collect the bill.

Although the two entered the city together, they were not very familiar with each other.

Farewell after entering the city.

Yang An didn't care either, his consciousness was on Ning Caichen.

The task requirement is to let him escort Ning Caichen into Lanruo Temple. As long as he doesn't make too many changes, Ning Caichen will go to Lanruo Temple on his own initiative, and he can follow the trend.

Yang An stopped and walked, there are quite a lot of things in Guobei County, after thinking about it, he bought a few pieces of talisman paper.

The way these talisman papers taught him to draw talismans was a little different. The talisman papers were covered with cinnabar, which contained weak magic power.

These talisman papers have some effect, but the effect is only mediocre. They can hurt some little ghosts with low strength, but the real powerful ghosts have no effect.

However, the body protection still has a little effect.

When resting, put these talisman papers in the residence, and ghosts will not come close, because ghosts hate the breath on the talisman papers.

The rune imprint on Ning Caichen's clothes can be regarded as a rubbing, and it has some effect.

"Scholar, your account book is blurred, and you can't collect the account with empty words."

Ning Caichen hit a wall when he was the first to collect the bill.

Although Yang An gave him an oiled-paper umbrella, the cage was still wet. The books and ledgers in the cage were soaked by the rain, and the writing on them was blurred.

Ning Caichen took out the account book. The boss let him know what is reasonable, and let Ning Caichen know that the debtors are all the old man.

Ning Caichen spent a lot of effort, but he still couldn't talk to the other party, mainly because he could see clearly the bills on the ledger.

The boss doesn't want to admit it.

The money is in his hands, it is his.

After all, Ning Caichen was a frail scholar, and he didn't pay attention at all, otherwise he would have paid back the money long ago.

Just watch people order food.

Ning Caichen had no choice but to ask for another account, but the effect was as low as before, and he didn't get a single copper coin.

After failing to pay for several accounts in a row, Ning Caichen looked helpless.

He knew it was difficult to get the bill, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. Now he can only get the money from these people by paying the bill first.

What made him helpless was that he didn't have a single copper plate in his hand, so he didn't know if he would be there tonight.

He wanted to pay the innkeeper on credit, but Ning Caichen didn't bother with the innkeeper's appearance of asking for money without paying.

Scholars also have backbone, otherwise they will not live.

He couldn't believe that he couldn't find a place to live for free.

"Brother, let me ask, is there any place where I can live without money?"

Ning Caichen pulled the little brother at the side and asked.

If you want to live in a free place, you still have to ask the locals.

Ning Caichen was pleased with his wit.

Whoever said that scholars are all elm-headed, he is very smart.

He who has experienced suffering has his own way.

Generally, you can live in places with ruined temples, just ask the locals.

Although the conditions are relatively poor, but barely able to live.

"The place to live for free is naturally Lanruo Temple."

The little brother said without even thinking about it.

People on the side of the road stopped when they heard Lanruo Temple, with fear on their faces.

In Guobei County, it can be said that the color of Tanlanruo Temple has changed.

"Lanruo Temple, thank you little brother."

After Ning Caichen muttered a sentence, he thanked him.

Look!

Don't you just inquire about free accommodation, it's as simple as that, just keep your mouth open.

Ning Caichen walked briskly towards the direction pointed by the younger brother.

Although the faces of passers-by next to him were strange, it also affected Ning Caichen's mood at this time.

The accommodation is resolved tonight, which is good news.

Sure enough, except for a few lame bosses, Guobei County is still simple and honest.

After he pays the bill and asks for the money back, he has to live for a few days before going back.

Ning Caichen was thinking silently in his heart.

People in Guobei County watched Ning Caichen stride away like a warrior.

"Don't you need to remind that scholar?"

A young girl asked anxiously.

"Remind me, say, have you taken a fancy to that little boy?"

The old man next to him glared and asked.

"Father will not let you marry that kind of weak scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken, even if he can't protect anyone."

The old man continued to add.

"no no."

The young girl waved her hands again and again.

She just couldn't bear it.

Everyone else is waiting for tomorrow's results.

It has been more than a month since Lanruo Temple died. They are not sure whether Lanruo Temple is still safe, and they have a clear conscience by asking a scholar from other places to try it.

Yang An looked at these people from Guobei County and shook his head.

The personalities of people in a place will all affect each other, just like no one reminded Ning Caichen, they are all influencing each other.

If Ning Caichen can come back alive, it will prove that Lanruo Temple is not dangerous, and the trade route will gradually recover in the future, and life in Guobei County will be much better.

There are caravans passing by, and the small days will be much more nourishing.

"Where are you going, son?"

Seeing Yang An walking in Ning Caichen's direction, a restaurant boy asked.

"Lan Ruo Temple."

Yang An replied with a smile.

"Don't you have money, son, why do you want to go to Lanruo Temple?"

The boy asked puzzledly.

Just now, Yang An specially gave him a few copper coins, which made the servant very grateful.

"The scholar is my friend, and I just want to visit Lanruo Temple."

Yang An didn't care.

This is his mission, and this person doesn't even know it.

"Master, do you know that Lanruo Temple is haunted by ghosts?"

The boy looked back at the people beside him and said in a low voice.

"know."

Yang An nodded.

"Then why do you still want to go?"

The boy looked puzzled.

"I went because I heard it was haunted."

Yang Anruo pointedly said, and after finishing speaking, he left.

"wack."

The boy looked at Yang An's back and couldn't figure it out, so he could only describe it as a weirdo.

In haunted places, everyone hides far away, for fear of being entangled by ghosts.

In addition, haunted places must be very bad luck, so as not to cause bad luck.

Although the location of Lanruo Temple is said to be in Guobei County, the location is actually very remote and not considered to be in the city.

There is still some distance to go to Lanruo Temple.

After Ning Caichen learned that Lanruo Temple could stay for free, he happily walked over. Although the road is a bit far away, it always makes people happy that it is free.

Penniless, had to go.

"Master Ning, are you going to Lanruo Temple?"

Yang An's footsteps were much longer than Ning Caichen's, and he was sitting on a rock to rest his feet.

He looked at Ning Caichen who was walking over with surprise.

"Master Yang is going to Lanruo Temple too?"

Ning Caichen looked puzzled.

He looked at Yang An's appearance, he didn't look like someone who was short of money and couldn't afford to live in an inn.

If you don't want to raise money, uh, you still have to collect the bill.

That's what people with no money have to do.

Life is hard, do some work to support yourself.

"I heard people in the county talk about Lanruo Temple. If you are interested, come and have a look. I didn't expect that the road is quite far."

Yang An rubbed his feet and complained.

Although this distance is actually nothing.

"Young Master Yang is going too, how about we be a companion together?"

Ning Caichen asked tentatively.

He has never been to Lanruo Temple, but it must be dilapidated. If he goes alone, he has to worry about bad people.

It would be safer if Yang An was pulled in.

When the two were chatting on the road, their relationship developed a little bit. He found that although Yang An didn't get the honor, he was not weaker than him in knowledge.

He, Ning Caichen, will surely become the number one scholar in the future, Yang Anwen is not weaker than him, certainly not bad.

This was also the reason why he had a much better attitude when he saw Yang An.

"Just right, I thought I was alone at Lanruo Temple tonight, and it would be a good thing to have Young Master Ning with me."

Yang An said calmly.

Sure enough, the fish took the bait.

His previous arrangement worked.

Use your brains to finish the first task easily.

"Did Mr. Ning collect the bill smoothly today?"

Yang An looked at Ning Caichen and asked.

This is what Ning Caichen told him before, and it is reasonable to ask now.

He didn't just sprinkle salt on Ning Caichen's wound, but greeted him normally.

What bad thoughts could Yang An have?

This is a normal courtesy greeting.

At this time, he still had a curious expression on his face, without any expression of teasing.

"Well, it's not going very well, merchant! That's it, you know."

Ning Caichen didn't answer directly, but covered it up.

He was afraid that Yang An would be kicked out of the inn and make fun of him if he knew that he had failed to demand the bill.

Readers, always save face.

"Did Mr. Ning eat tonight?"

Yang An didn't continue to ask.

He also knew the situation, so he opened the wound.

"Gollum!"

Yang An's words woke up Ning Caichen's stomach, and he couldn't help cheering.

Ning Caichen blushed at this moment.

As the sky is getting darker and darker, it is not very obvious.

"Hey, that's it."

Yang An saw a stone tablet that said Lanruo Temple.

Although the sky was slowly getting dark, there was still a little light.

"finally reached."

Ning Caichen heaved a sigh of relief, he saw Yang An's attention was attracted by the stele, and let out a sigh of relief.

He was a little embarrassed that his stomach rumbled at an inappropriate time.

Along the way today, he really didn't eat well.

Originally, a swordsman gave him a steamed bun, but he was afraid that there was poison in it, so he vomited it all out.

After entering Guobei County, I wanted to have a good meal after collecting the bill, but I didn’t expect that the bill was not received, and I was penniless and had no money to eat.

The godmother who was prepared was given up by him, and he could smash stones, so his teeth would definitely not be able to bite.

Rubbing his stomach and tightening his belt, he hoped that his stomach would not be ignorant and lose face.

"Master Ning, let's go up together!"

Although there are stone steles, to get to Lanruo Temple, you still have to go up a stone ladder, and walking inside is the real Lanruo Temple.

Yang An also noticed that task one hadn't been prompted to complete yet.

In other words, this is not within Lanruo Temple.

"Okay, let's go together."

Lanruo Temple was almost as he had imagined, very desolate.

Looking at it like this, very few people come to Lanruo Temple, otherwise it would not be like this.

"Young Master Yang, do you think there will be someone here?"

Ning Caichen thought for a while and asked.

He guessed in his heart that no one would come to this kind of place except for the two of them.

"There should be someone!"

Yang An answered in the affirmative.

Because the sound of fighting had reached his ears.

His sense of hearing is much better than that of Ning Caichen, and his physical body has been tempered for so long, and his physique is far beyond ordinary people.

Strong hearing is also normal.

His consciousness also began to investigate.

Although Lanruo Temple is not small, his spiritual sense can detect it almost as well.

"Why is Young Master Yang so sure?"

Ning Caichen asked puzzledly.

He thought that Yang An would say that he didn't know, or that there was no one, but he didn't expect to give the answer that there was someone.

"I heard the sound of fighting. Someone should be fighting swords. People who practice martial arts must first train their hearing, so my hearing is better than ordinary people."

Yang An explained with a smile.

"Then why don't we stay here?"

Ning Caichen pulled Yang An and said timidly.

Sword fighting sounds dangerous.

They are two frail scholars, aren't they asking for trouble when they go in?
Although Yang An had a long sword hanging from his waist, it must be bad, otherwise the sword would have been drawn long ago.

He has heard of storytellers, those with high martial arts skills, and when they hear other people fighting, they all want to try it out.

The kind that can't be stopped.

Some even drew their swords to provoke.

Although he disdained storytelling, he still stopped and tidied up his clothes when he heard the stories on the road.

Scholar, tidy clothes are very important.

After tidying up and the storyteller finished speaking, he just left.

Glancing at the storyteller with disdain, he walked with his head held high.

Scholar, disdain to listen to books.

Yang An's current performance is different from those of storytellers with high martial arts skills.

I didn't hear the sword fight at all, so I happily went to check it out, but I was with him, without any interest in the past.

Obviously, not an expert.
