Concubine Chang Sturdy: Overwhelming His Majesty Du Meng

Chapter 22 Lanruo Temple

Hao Mei couldn't help but think about it, she dragged Shangguanran into the ruined temple.

The musty smell spread into the nostrils, and Hao Mei quickly covered her nose. At this time, it was almost dark, and the atmosphere of the two standing in the ruined temple seemed particularly strange.

Hao Mei subconsciously moved closer to Shangguanran, and then began to look around the situation in the temple.

It's strange to say that this dilapidated temple has been in disrepair for a long time and no one will come here, but there is not much dust inside, not even a spider web.

There is a statue of Buddha standing directly in front of it. It is dark and it is not clear, but you can vaguely see its benevolent expression.

Hao Mei instantly felt a lot more at ease in her heart, and she pulled Shangguanran to sit under the Buddha statue.

The fox struggled twice in Shangguanran's arms, then jumped out and nestled at his feet.

There was also a broken bench in the corner with a pile of firewood next to it.

Seeing this, Hao Mei immediately poked Shangguanran's arm, and whispered in his ear, "Go and get that firewood and light it."

She lowered her voice subconsciously, and even her tone became trembling under this atmosphere.

Shangguan responded with a good voice, and his voice became trembling under Hao Mei's guidance, he stood up carefully from the ground, walked to the side of the pile of firewood, and hugged him.

"No fire, how to light it?" She patted her head in frustration.

There was a loud "boom" and another burst of thunder. Hao Mei clasped her hands together in horror and hid at the feet of the statue.

The bright eyes of the fox stared straight at Hao Mei through the darkness. The cold eyes made her even more frightened. She always felt that this fox had a strong hostility towards her. Ordinary animals can send out.

The flame suddenly rose from the front, followed by Shangguan Ran's excited voice.

"Okay!" He walked over with a smile, smiled at Hao Mei as if asking for credit, and then went to the side of the fire, habitually picking up the fox.

"How did you do it?" Hao Mei asked in surprise, and at the same time leaned over, glanced at the little fox and then chose to ignore it.

Hearing this, Shangguanran raised his eyebrows quite proudly, stretched out his fingers and blew on it lightly, a ball of flame instantly appeared on his fingertips.

"Magic!" She blurted out with a look of surprise on her face, but she immediately realized that the cultivation on Suiyue Valley these days was not in vain.

Naturally, Shangguan didn't know what magic was, and Hao Mei didn't bother to explain it, but just vaguely passed it on.

With the flame and light, the fear in her heart was also expelled. Seeing that this ruined temple was also called Lanruo Temple, she began to speculate whether Nie Xiaoqian would come.

"Do you know?" She moved to Shangguanran and asked suddenly.

"Ah?" Shangguan was stunned for a moment and looked at Hao Mei suspiciously, "Know what?"

Seeing his appearance, Hao Mei became even more determined to tell him the ghost story of A Chinese Ghost Story. Presumably, they were relatively backward in ancient times, and they should be relatively scarce in this regard. There should be no problem with this kind of story being used to scare them. .

"This Lanruo Temple has a story."

Hao Mei's expression became tense in an instant, she beckoned to Shangguan, and immediately began to tell the poignant and terrifying love story in his ear.

Shangguan frowned, instead of showing the expected fear, he showed a sympathetic expression, with a little light in the corner of his eyes, as if he was crying.

Hao Mei swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She had read this story many times, and now she said it in this kind of place and atmosphere, and she felt an inexplicable chill in her heart.

The little fox looked at Hao Mei with a calmer look, turning around twice as if thinking of something.

"Hey, what do you think happened to them afterwards?" Shangguan Ran became interested, and looked at Hao Mei with wide eyes, which were full of eagerness.

She couldn't remember exactly what happened, so she tried her best to think back and pieced together the story and finally finished the story.

The ruined temple suddenly fell into a strange silence, the rain outside had stopped, and the air was mixed with a faint earthy scent, which smelled very comfortable.

It was completely dark outside at this moment, but luckily there was flame lighting in the ruined temple, which drove away the fear in the hearts of the two of them.

For some reason, Shangguan remained silent on the spot, and his face didn't look very good, as if he was immersed in that kind of love story.

The fox in his arms moved a bit, looked up at Shangguanran, then jumped up and ran outside without looking back.

He immediately came back to his senses, looked at the fox, and said back.

But the little fox ignored him and left.

Hao Mei wished that it would disappear from her sight, and felt happy and relieved to see it leave.

But Shangguanran didn't think so. It's a bit worrying to let a small animal run out at this time. Besides, its injury has just healed, and if it's not careful, it may relapse.

"I'll go look for it." Shangguan Ran said hastily, and after putting his head aside, he quickly followed its footsteps, completely ignoring Hao Mei's livid face behind him.

"Damn it, leaving me here alone, is that fox more important than me!" She stomped her feet vigorously, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

Staring fiercely at the direction where Shangguan ran away, he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Over there, Shangguanran didn't realize that Hao Mei was angry at all, but anxiously shouted the word "Little Fox".

However, after shouting for a long time, he didn't see the fox. He seemed to have something to do when he saw it running out in such a hurry. The more this happened, the more nervous and worried he became.

"Is anyone there? Help me." The voice suddenly sounded from behind, with a soft and charming tone, just listening to it made me feel drunk.

Shangguanran suddenly felt numb all over his body, and looked in the direction of the sound uncontrollably.

A woman in white was vaguely visible, with her jade hands on her ankles, her expression seemed to be a little painful.

"Nie Xiaoqian!" Shangguan opened his mouth wide in surprise, expressing his first reaction.

The passage that Hao Mei said just now is really fresh in his memory, presumably Hao Mei did not expect that the so-called Nie Xiaoqian has appeared just after telling this story.

"Are you a human or a ghost!" He asked cautiously, maybe it was because of fear, but there was a bit of dodge in his expression.

"My lord, you are joking. If the servant hadn't injured his foot, why would he be sitting like this and begging for help?" She asked innocently, but in this voice, Shangguan can definitely say that as long as it is a man, it will definitely not be able to bear it.
