The two chatted casually at first, telling what they had seen and heard over the years.
Yan Chixia's experience as a judge made Su Mo listen with great interest, and Su Mo's past of killing monsters also made Yan Chixia's eyes shine brightly.
The two chatted deeper and deeper, and gradually they talked about the current situation in the world, the division of good and evil, and this is what Su Mo is most interested in.
After all, he knew too little about the demonized Ming Dynasty, and urgently needed to learn some inside stories from Yan Chixia, a local population.
Fragrant tea filled the room and candles were burning, but outside the ancient temple there was a gust of wind and howling wolves.
A scholar in shabby white clothes, carrying a book basket on his back, and carrying a paper lantern is running desperately among the grass.
Behind him, three-headed wolves with glowing green eyes were chasing him.
"Don't chase me...don't chase me!"
The strong wind hit and blew out the dying lantern, which made the scholar's situation even worse.
He didn't pay attention to the soles of his feet while running wildly, but he stepped on the ground and tripped over a tree root.
The scholar let out an exclamation, and rushed forward, flying three or four meters away, feeling dizzy for a while.
"It's over..."
This was the first thought that came to Ning Caichen's mind.
After being chased away by the shopkeeper during the day, he was penniless.
In desperation, I had no choice but to find someone casually and ask if there was any place nearby where I could stay overnight for free.
In the end, the man pointed out that there is an ancient temple called Lanruo Temple. It is said that the ancient temple is haunted by ghosts, but Ning Caichen, who is already at the end of his life, can't control much.
After all, people are always looking for a place to rest, and Guobei County cannot sleep on the streets at night, otherwise it will become a deadly street the next day.
As a result, the road was rough and the bushes were densely covered. The ancient temple was not found, but three hungry wolves were provoked first.
At this moment, Ning Caichen slowly got up, looking at the wild wolf not far away who was staring at him, his heart felt cold.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the three wild wolves looked at him for a while, turned around and left, and quickly disappeared into the bushes.
"How is this going?"
He murmured suspiciously.
As a result, he turned around inadvertently, and happened to see a huge figure behind him.
This is a huge ancient building.
Although it has been dilapidated, but in terms of scale, it is still possible to imagine the original glory.
There were gusts of wind, blowing among the rotten wood, making a whining sound, like the whimpering of the undead.
boom -
A thunderbolt suddenly flashed in the night sky.
The purple thunder light illuminates the plaque on the building: Lanruo Temple. .
Chapter 474
Daming imperial capital.
Among the walls, countless exquisite pavilions stand, carved beams and painted walls, intrigues.
This was originally the National Teacher's Mansion, but it has now been changed to the Huguo Abbot's Mansion.
In the beautiful and spacious front hall, the Buddha statue stands tall, sandalwood is in the air, and the faint sound of chanting can be heard faintly, but anyone who walks into this hall will feel a sense of peace of mind.
An old man in a dragon robe was kneeling piously on the futon. After a long time, he stood up with the help of the guards next to him, and looked at the old woman in a Chinese robe not far away: "Master Cihang, how is the elixir refined?" gone?"
The old woman clasped her hands together and bowed to the Buddha: "Goodness, goodness, the elixir is being refined now, and it will take a long time. Please wait quietly, Your Majesty."
Shenzong stared at her, but did not speak.
But Purdue Cihang also responded indifferently.
After a long time, the Emperor Shenzong finally looked away: "Mage, I have named you the abbot of protecting the country, and I have used the power of the country to help you condense the elixir, and even opened the imperial tomb so that you can absorb the kingly dragon spirit... Don't let me down."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Pudu Cihang bowed and said: "The poor nun will definitely do his best to refine the elixir, so as to fulfill His Majesty's wish of immortality!"
"Then trouble the mage a lot, as long as the elixir can be made, I will surely satisfy all the wishes of the mage."
After Emperor Shenzong finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door.
Pudu Cihang looked at the back of the emperor gradually going away, his eyes gradually turned cold, and a sneer appeared on his face.
A woman in a blue gown came over, bowed and said, "Master."
"Did anyone find it?"
"Not yet." The woman was a little apprehensive.
Pudu Cihang looked at her suddenly, with a look of anger on his face: "Trash, I already asked the emperor to give you an imperial envoy badge, but you haven't found it yet?"
The woman showed horror, her body trembling unconsciously: "Master, you are aware of the current situation in Daming."
"There are fires everywhere, the frontiers are unstable, and some places don't even pay attention to the imperial envoy token, so it is very difficult to investigate. Please give me another half a month, master, and I will definitely find it for you!"
Pudu Cihang closed his eyes, and after a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "That's what you said, half a month."
"If it doesn't work anymore, you know the consequences."
"Yes!" The woman quickly saluted, and then slowly exited the hall.
Pudu Cihang opened his eyes and looked at his arm.
On her right arm, there was a shockingly huge wound, and disgusting green mucus could still be seen flowing from the wound.
"Zhuge Wolong... As long as I get rid of you, I can stay in the imperial city with peace of mind and absorb the kingly dragon spirit."
"After devouring the dragon energy accumulated in the entire Ming Dynasty, I can directly cross the catastrophe and transform into a real dragon! At that time, even if those great masters from the immortal sect go down the mountain, I have nothing to fear."
In the forbidden city.
Shenzong walked in front, and two teams of guards followed quietly behind.
An old eunuch who was serving at the side suddenly said: "Your Majesty, there is something that I don't know whether I should say or not."
"Go ahead."
"The abbot who protects the country doesn't seem to be a person who practices immortality..."
Emperor Shenzong suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at the old eunuch: "You mean to say that she is actually a monster?"
"I dare not!" The old eunuch lowered his head hastily.
Emperor Shenzong did not punish him, but turned his head and took a deep look at the residence of Abbot Huguo.
That Pudu Cihang is actually a monster, why didn't he know it?
However, the desire for immortality has completely blinded the emperor's sanity.
Since you fairy sects won't give it, then I'll ask those demons to ask for it!
.........
This is a prison.
In the prison, an old man with gray hair and disheveled hair was writing and drawing on the wall, but beside him lay a man with a full face of beard.
If you look carefully, you will find that this man looks exactly like Ning Caichen!
"Zhou Yabing, Zhou Yabing?"
An official's voice sounded.
The man quickly stood up: "I'm here! Sir, I'm here, is someone coming to bail me out?"
"bail?"
The official sneered, and passed a plate through the gap: "Take it."
Zhou Ya took it over and opened it, only to find that there was a lot of food inside.
Roast chicken and duck, pork and red fish, and even a jar of wine.
Zhou Yabing, who had been hungry for many days, quickly swallowed a chicken leg and handed it to the old man with disheveled hair: "Mr. Zhuge Wolong, you eat too."
"I won't eat it."
The old man shook his head, looking at him with pity.
Zhou Yabing didn't force it, but took the time to ask: "Master, is it a holiday today?"
"Holiday?" The official said with a chuckle: "Tonight is the day to send you on the road. This meal is a meal for cutting off your head. Eat well."
puff--
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Ya spat out all the food in her mouth.
"Breakdown meal...cutoff meal..."
The officer shook his head, and walked straight out of the cell: "Take the opportunity to eat quickly, and I will send you on your way in half an hour."
However, just as he was watching the figures of the officials leave, Zhuge Wolong suddenly stood up and said to Zhou Ya, "Look at this."
"what?"
Zhou Yabin turned her head subconsciously, but she saw the gossip painted on the wall at a glance.
He stared at the gossip, his expression gradually confused.
But Zhuge Wolong's instruction came from beside his ear: "After you go out, go find a man named Ning Caichen..."
Half an hour passed quickly.
Two officials walked in and saw Zhou Yabing who was standing there with a confused expression, they couldn't help but wondered: "Old man, what's wrong with him?"
Zhuge Wolong didn't turn his head back: "I guess he knew he was going to be beheaded, so he was scared out of his wits."
The two officials didn't care about it, anyway, as long as they were there, they walked out of the cell under pressure.
It's just that Zhou Yabing was still muttering to herself, vaguely chanting a name: ".¨Ning Caichen...Ning Caichen...after being a ghost, I want to find Ning Caichen... "
.........
Ning Caichen walked in the dark in Lanruo Temple by the moonlight, and the gusts of wind made him feel a little flustered. He kept reciting the sage's articles, and finally regained some courage.
After a while, his footsteps stopped suddenly.
Because in front, there is a room with lights on, and the sound of talking and laughing can be heard vaguely.
He walked over almost subconsciously, and was about to reach out and push the door.
But when he thought about it again, a little fear rose in his heart.
How can there be people talking and laughing in the middle of the night in this barren mountain and ancient temple?All the ghostly stories I have read in the past came to my mind.
And in the house.
Su Mo paused while holding the wine glass, and smiled at Yan Chixia: "It seems that there are guests."
"Guests?" Yan Chixia was holding a wine jar in her hands, already a little bit drunk: "This is a barren mountain, where are the guests? It's almost like a lonely ghost."
Yan Chixia is warm-hearted and carefree, while Su Mo is also a modern traveler with a free and easy personality, so the two of them chatted more and more speculatively, and finally they simply exchanged tea for fine wine.
"Brother (Zhao Li Zhao) at the door." Su Mo shouted towards the outside: "It's late at night, why don't you come in and have a glass of wine to warm up?"
After the voice fell, the wooden door was pushed back.
Ning Caichen came in with a book basket on his back, with a timid smile on his face, he cupped his hands at the two of them: "Ning Caichen, I have met you two."
After speaking, he sat down at the table, took the drink handed over by Su Mo and drank it all in one gulp.
He was drenched in heavy rain and blown by the cold wind before. He was already shivering from the cold and urgently needed a cup of hot wine.
The smile on Yan Chixia's face disappeared, she stared at him for a while, then suddenly said: "Drink quickly, get out after a few drinks!"
"what?"
Ning Caichen was taken aback, looking at Yan Chixia's appearance, his stubborn temper also came up: "This ancient temple has been abandoned for a long time, everyone is here to stay, you can't live in such a big place by yourself, why do you want me to go away?" ?”
"There is no reason, if you are told to go, go!"
