Qiankun Storyteller

Chapter 130 Fright
"Lan Ruo Temple?"

"How do we know?"

"You wrote the book, who can guess?"

"Don't keep it up, tell me quickly, where is Lanruo Temple?"

Su asked the book to get to the point, gradually getting better, and the curiosity of everyone in the audience was also aroused.

Su asked with a smile, and explained: "Let's talk literally, Lan Ruo Lan Ruo, what is Lan Ruo?"

"Lan Ruo, the name of the Buddha, is like Prajna."

"Lan Ruo's meaning is silence, the quiet place outside the world, the free place, the far away place, it is Lan Ruo."

"So, Lanruo is a quiet place. All temples can be called Lanruo, not necessarily named after Lanruo."

Su Wen explained.

"I see!"

Everyone suddenly realized, and they were puzzled again: "Then what are you talking about?"

Su Wen smiled: "Lanruo Temple, Lanruo Temple, Lanruo Temple, is not the name, this Lanruo Temple was not originally called Lanruo Temple, but now it is called Lanruo Temple because no one knows about it, no one remembers its original temple. What's the name?"

"This……"

Although Su Wen's words were awkward, everyone still understood them. Not only did they understand, but they also felt chills.

"It's a good temple, how come no one knows about it, no one remembers its real name?"

"Yeah, even if it's abandoned or abandoned, there should be a record. How could no one know about it?"

"Even if there is no book record, people can pass it on orally for hundreds of years. How can no one remember it?"

Everyone was puzzled and looked at Su Wen.

Su Wen shook his head, and explained: "No one knows, no one remembers, because people have a deep taboo against this Lanruo Temple, and dare not call it by its real name, and even regard its real name as a taboo existence."

"Taboo-like existence?"

Everyone seems to understand but not understand, faintly startled.

"Yes!"

Su Wen nodded, and continued: "As early as hundreds of years ago, people in Guobei County regarded this Lanruo Temple as a taboo, and they didn't dare to call it by its real name, and they didn't dare to record too much. Two characters, as time goes by, people also forget its real name, and call it Lanruo instead, which is the origin of Lanruo Temple."

"I see!"

Everyone suddenly realized, and then became suspicious again: "Why do people in Guobei County regard Lanruo Temple as a taboo?"

"Could it be that there are some demons entrenched here, and ghosts are rampant?"

"A good Buddhist temple will definitely not be abandoned for no reason, and it will be regarded as a taboo by the people around it!"

"Occupying a Buddhist temple and turning into a ghost, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary monster, but an ordinary ghost!"

"The shopkeeper of the restaurant is really vicious. In order to renege on his debt, he tricked Scholar Ning to spend the night in such a place!"

"Scholar Ning is dumbfounded. Isn't going to Lanruo Temple a sheep's mouth?"

"What happened later, Mr. Su, tell me quickly!"

Everyone stared at Su Wen, impatiently.

Su Wen smiled and continued: "Although Ning Caichen is a frail scholar, he has a stubborn temper that will not hit the south wall and never look back. He is determined to recover the debt, so according to what the shopkeeper said, After leaving the city, head east, and go to Nalanruo Temple to stay, stay overnight to dry the account books, and then go to the city tomorrow to collect the account and get the money."

"Ning Caichen walked seven or eight miles, and it was evening when he arrived at the outskirts of the city. I still feel a little apprehensive."

"Zibuyu is strange and confused?"

As soon as these words came out, someone in the audience said: "Don't the Confucian saints know that there are really monsters, weird things, ghosts and gods in the world?"

Su Wen shook his head and said with a light smile: "The so-called master does not talk about strange powers and chaotic gods, it is not that you don't believe in strange powers and chaotic gods, but that the sage teaches his disciples that a gentleman should keep the righteous way in his heart, respect ghosts and gods and stay away, and not indulge in the methods of ghosts and gods, otherwise You must be controlled by ghosts and gods, otherwise, ghosts and gods will have nothing to do with you."

"This……"

"What do you mean?"

"Mr. Su, we are big bosses, and those who don't understand, please explain it in a simple and clear way."

Everyone seemed to understand but not understood, and shouted again.

Su Wen laughed lightly and said: "To put it simply and clearly, as long as a scholar does not believe in ghosts and gods, he will not be afraid of ghosts and gods. This is... Confucianism's practice of righteousness."

"Oh!"

"I see!"

"I didn't expect Mr. Su to be a Confucian cultivator."

"That's because you didn't expect it. I thought about it early on. Mr. Su's literary talent is definitely not an ordinary scholar."

"If you don't believe in ghosts, you won't be afraid of ghosts. There are many scholars who were killed by demons and ghosts in the past!"

"That means that these people haven't been able to keep quiet about their power and confusion, and they have read the sage's books to the stomach!"

Everyone in the audience was discussing and looking at Su Wen even more brilliantly.

Sure enough, listening to the book gives you a lot of insight!
Su Wen chuckled, and continued: "Ning Caichen was looking for the location of Nalanruo Temple in the woods on the outskirts of the city, when he heard a long howling of wolves, followed by a howling cold wind, blowing Ning Caichen who was thinly clad I couldn't help trembling, and my pace quickened even more, for fear of encountering that jackal and beast."

"But I don't want to be afraid of something. Suddenly, there was a strange movement in the forest, and a group of miserable green eyes appeared. It turned out to be a pack of vicious wolves!"

"Facing the gaze of the evil wolf, Ning Caichen let out a cry of surprise, turned his head and ran away, scrambling in the dark suburban forest, and the pack of evil wolves chased after him, howling continuously, threatening to kill him Swallow the delicate skin and tender meat."

"In this way, after chasing and chasing, Ning Caichen, who was in a hurry, tripped suddenly and fell to the ground."

"At such a critical moment, when he fell on the ground, Ning Caichen was startled and confused, for fear that the wolves from behind would catch up and eat him up."

"But until he stood up, there was no wolf kiss coming. Ning Caichen was astonished. He turned his head and found that the pack of wolves chasing him had disappeared at some point."

"Then why didn't the wolves chase after them?"

"Ning Caichen felt something, and hurriedly turned around, only to see a pile of rocks in front of him, which turned out to be a mountain gate, an abandoned mountain gate."

"The gatehouse that has been in disrepair for a long time has collapsed, and only a dilapidated stone tablet is still standing. On the surface of the tablet that has been eroded by wind and rain, there are three dark red characters. Barely recognizable, it is a temple word."

"Ning Caichen walked forward unconsciously, came to the dilapidated mountain gate, raised his head up, looked along the stairs, and saw an ancient temple, in the boundless darkness, under the sparse and cold moonlight, A circle of dilapidated and decayed surface contours are faintly illuminated, and I don’t know how long it has been abandoned.”

"Exactly..."

Su Wen patted Xingmu, and everyone's hearts jumped. In the midst of horror, the deep voice settled down: "Lanruo Temple—here!"
