Chapter 62 First Arrival in Lan Ruo
In the world of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Li Chongda sat alone in the hall of Guobei County Inn drinking, one glass after another, and refused to stop. It seemed that alcohol could wash away the sorrow in his body and mind and dissolve the sorrow in his heart.
In front of me, there were more than a dozen wine pots empty on the table, but the swaying wine glasses were still raised again and again, without any intention of putting them down. Drinking too much wine would kill people! If it weren't for the perfectly ingot of snowflakes and silver in the pile of wine pots, I guess the mean shopkeeper and waiter in this inn would have already driven people away.
"The human world is too complicated and difficult to distinguish right from wrong. Being with ghosts and spirits is clear and clear." Yan Chixia's words are a true portrayal of the whole world. She would rather be with evil spirits than live with humans!
Countless bounty hunters are trying to catch wanted criminals in the city, and the disagreement between their peers is facing each other. Fighting in the world is also happening all the time. Almost every breath will die, perhaps for a few cents, or perhaps it is just because of the time of killing people! Perhaps it is because of the indifference and cruelty of human beings towards the same kind that God can't bear to see, and countless disasters will come to the heads of human beings in this morally degraded world, and the righteous spirit fades away and the evil spirit spreads. Countless monsters and ghosts seem to have lost the constraints between heaven and earth, and they are born one after another, feeding on people. Even more, they actually control the extraordinary and puppet emperors, which are not the image of a prosperous and prosperous world.
However, all this has nothing to do with Li Chongda. He doesn't want to be a savior to save this unbearable world. He just wants to save his Fairy Jinghong. His drunken eyes were staring at the door of the inn, waiting for the upcoming Ning Caichen.
…………
Here comes!
As if he had fallen into the water, the plain-clothed scholar, who was wet, walked into the inn with a shabby book on his back. At this time, Li Chongda's face turned purple, but white mist appeared on his body, which attracted the diners in the hall to look at each other. Some people sitting nearby, and when they smelled, they found that the mist was still filled with a strong aroma of wine.
The journey of the Myth plane was a huge turning point for Li Chongda. The painful lesson made him never underestimate the enemy by treating the film and television plane as a game. Now, he is about to follow Ning Caichen to Lanruo Temple to face the thousand-year-old tree demon. Li Chongda did not allow alcohol to affect his judgment, so he used all his strength to use Zixia Gong to force out the alcohol.
...
A customer came to the door, and the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile and said to Ning Caichen in front of the counter: "Do you stay in the hotel? Get the luggage for the customer quickly..."
"Hey~hey~" Ning Caichen didn't pay attention for a moment. The waiter was moved away by the waiter. He had no choice but to turn around and say to the shopkeeper: "I don't live in the store, I was sent by Qi Baozhai to collect the accounts..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper put away his smile and said impatiently: "You are collecting the accounts, waiter put it down."
The waiter said "Oh" and the book that was held to his chest by him did a free fall exercise and fell to the ground.
"Oh, my book..." Ning Caichen, who glimpsed this scene from the corner of his eyes, hurriedly exclaimed.
The expected "pitch" sound did not appear. The waiter looked down and saw that Li Chongda grabbed the book that was about to land with one hand. He could not afford to offend this guest who had drunk 10 or 20 pots of wine, so he could only retreat in embarrassment.
"Ning Caichen thanked this brother!"
Li Chongda did not reply, but just clasped Ning Caichen, holding the book with one hand and handed it on.
The plot is still the same. Only a piece of ink trace that cannot be melted left in the account book soaked by the rain. The shopkeeper naturally refused to admit the account and paid the money. Ning Caichen was driven out helplessly. After inquiring, Ning Caichen, who had nowhere to stay, was told by the owner of the coffin shop that there was a gloomy ancient temple Lanruo Temple three and a half miles east of Guobei County to rest. Ning Caichen, who was penniless, had no choice but to set out towards Lanruo Temple.
Since "Lan Ruo" means forest, "Lan Ruo Temple" is naturally the temple in the forest. It was already dark, and Ning Caichen walked in the forest with a lantern. Suddenly, a group of wild wolves appeared somewhere, and the lanterns in his hand were extinguished because they burned all the fuel. As a scholar without any power, he instinctively rushed to him and ran away.
"Ouch"
Ning Caichen, who fell to the ground, felt like he had hit a wall, but where did the wall come from in the forest like a ghost? He looked up and found that Li Chongda, who was helping him catch the book in the inn, was right in front of him. He was immediately happy and said, "Brother Tai is also going to Lanruo Temple?" Then the wolf howl came, which scared him so much that he rubbed his butt back a few more steps, and said anxiously: "Brother Tai quickly, there are wolf here."
After being swept by Li Chongda's spiritual sense, the wild wolves in the forest that were chasing Ning Caichen before they got close to him, as if they had met some terrifying existence. They screamed and clamped their tails, jumped back faster than when they came.
Seeing that Li Chongda had no desire to speak to him, Ning Caichen was also quite tactful and did not bother Li Chongda. The two of them were silent and walked towards Lanruo Temple.
Taking advantage of the night, Li Chongda looked at the famous temple carefully. The temple pagoda was magnificent. It was originally the place where the wind and dew of the morning and evening, and the willow garden flowers were now covered with artemisia, and there was no sign of life. It seemed that snakes, insects, rats and ants were also uneasy about it and avoided it. The two approached the temple, and two figures holding swords hit each other, and their moves were all opened and closed, extremely fierce. Under the impact of the sword blade, there were occasionally sparks.
Li Chongda, who was determined to kill the thousand-year-old tree demon to get Mu Xin, did not want to waste time. With his spiritual sense, he instantly bound Yan Chixia and the swordsman Xiahou and pulled him in front of him.
Yan Chixia is fine. After all, she is carrying Taoism. Although she cannot resist the restraint of Li Chongda's spiritual sense, she can still accept it in her heart. However, Xiahou is just a mortal swordsman, and the invisible power of spiritual sense far exceeds his cognition. Facing Li Chongda, he directly raised beads of sweat the size of beans on the mountain of his forehead, and his hands and feet were trembling. If it weren't for his old rival Yan Chixia, he would probably kneel down to beg for survival at this time.
"Your Excellency, what is this?" Although his body was controlled by Li Chongda, Yan Chixia was still proud and did not lose any fear. She frowned and spoke to Li Chongda.
Li Chongda spoke for the first time in the world of "A Chinese Ghost Story". There was no expression on his face, but he just stared at Yan Chixia's eyes and said, "Yan Chixia, I want to kill this thousand-year-old tree demon in Lanruo Temple to get his 'Thousand-year-old Wood Heart'. Will you help me?"
Yan Chixia said "Huh", and he didn't expect that Li Chongda would know the Thousand-year-old tree demon here. Xiahou and Ning Caichen must have said that there was a Thousand-year-old tree demon in Lanruo Temple, and their calves were already trembling, which was really unbearable.
After thinking for a while, Yan Chixia said in a deep voice: "The thousand-year-old tree here has been used to control the female ghosts for it and absorb the yang energy. I have long been the intention to eliminate it. However, it has a thousand-year-old Taoist practice and has boundless magic power. I am not sure to defeat it. So I live here and do not let it harm the good. Now with fellow Taoists helping, Yan Chixia should eliminate the demons and protect the way."
Li Chongda nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand to withdraw the spiritual sense bound to the two of them. Xiahou, who had just gained freedom, was about to leave with a long sword, but was blocked by Li Chongda. Xiahou thought that Li Chongda would also want to pull him as his helper to deal with the tree demon, so he spoke: "The one who is going to deal with the thousand-year-old tree demon, and I am just a mortal swordsman, so I can't help at all. Why don't you let me go?" His voice was full of begging. He was afraid that Li Chongda would be unhappy and reached out to destroy him.
Ning Caichen also interrupted anxiously at this time, "Yes, brother, we can't help here, so let's go!"
Li Chongda pointed to the forest outside the temple and said to the two: "This forest is all transformed by the thousand-year-old tree demon. It is already night. The forest is just as a hundred ghosts are walking at night. Are you sure you want to go out to feed the evil ghosts?"
