In Lanruo Temple, Jiang Chen and Yan Chixia peeled the roe deer and baked it. They originally wanted to wait for Ning Caichen to come back before starting, but Ning Caichen had not returned for a long time. Seeing that it was about to pass the meal, Jiang Chen had to take out some good wine from the watch space and eat and drink with Yan Chixia.

The fragrant barbecue, accompanied by the good wine that had been brewed for a long time, sat opposite each other and talked about martial arts. It was a pleasure to have fun. Before I knew it, it was at night. Seeing that Ning Caichen had not returned, Yan Chixia couldn't help but smile and said, "Little brother, I see that your scholarly friend is now obsessed with ghosts. Don't you worry that he will be eaten alive by the demons and monsters in the mountains?"

"Ha!" Jiang Chen chuckled: "Everyone has his own fate. As the saying goes, it is a blessing, not a disaster, but a disaster, but a disaster. Although I am his friend, it is not him after all. How could I know whether this is a disaster or a blessing for him?" Although he knew that Ning Caichen would inevitably meet Xiaoqian when he went there, and he would also encounter the case of the thousand-year-old tree demon grandmother forcing Xiaoqian to marry. Although it was thrilling, he did not have any worries about his life. This was the beginning of the relationship between the two, but from the beginning, it was destined to be a love affair without result.

"You are quite open to see." Yan Chixia couldn't help but sigh in her voice: "Oh, it's a pity that Brother Xiahou couldn't see it until he died. Otherwise, with his martial arts, although this world is great, there is no place where he is free and free, fame, wealth, right and wrong will harm people!"

While the two were chatting and laughing, they suddenly saw Ning Caichen walking back from the outside in a daze. Seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask, "Brother Ning, why did you lose your three souls in one day? What's going on? Could it be that Ji Baozhai's account has not been returned?"

"No." Ning Caichen said sadly: "It's Miss Xiaoqian. Xiaoqian is going to get married. Her family insisted on forcing her to marry a Heishan master who she didn't like." Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, and quickly knelt down in front of Jiang Chen and Yan Chixia, begging: "Master Zhiqiu, I know that you and the big bearded man are capable. Can you help Xiaoqian? I beg you."

"Xiaoqian?" Hearing this, before Jiang Chen could speak, Yan Chixia couldn't help but sneer: "Marry? Apart from the three of us, there is no fourth living person nearby? Where did the girl get married?!"

Ning Caichen was originally a scholar and did not believe in the sayings of ghosts and gods. When he heard this, he was dissatisfied and retorted: "Don't talk nonsense with big bearded man. Xiaoqian's house is behind Lanruo Temple. I've been there just now!"

"You have been there, why haven't you been killed by the female ghost?" Yan Chixia was irritable and immediately snorted coldly: "Do you know that behind Lanruo Temple is a mass grave!"

"Mass burial?" Ning Caichen couldn't help but be stunned on the spot when he heard this.

Yan Chixia snorted coldly, turned around and walked out two steps, then sighed, and said, "Lanruo Temple has been abandoned for many years. Although it is near the mountain road, because of the mass grave, few people will pass here. The shouts you hear at night are actually all lonely ghosts."

"Lonely ghost?" Ning Caichen's face was shocked and suspicious, but soon, he calmed down and forced himself to argue: "I don't believe it!"

"Don't believe it?" Yan Chixia shouted in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, I'll take you to see the hell!" While speaking, she grabbed Ning Caichen's arm without saying a word, pulled him and walked behind Lanruo Temple.

"Wait for me!" Seeing this, Jiang Chen hurriedly followed. Although it was dangerous outside, he didn't want to stay alone in Lanruo Temple. If the thousand-year-old tree demon came to the door and Yan Chixia was not there, he might not be able to deal with it alone.

The three of them left Lanruo Temple, and Ning Caichen walked in the front with a lantern in anger because he had always believed: "There are no monsters there, only Xiaoqian's family."

Yan Chixia followed him with contempt and sneer on her face, but he had already known that the Xiaoqian she met was the most beloved female ghost under the Thousand-year-old tree demon. In the past few years, I don’t know how many lives he helped the Thousand-year-old tree demon kill. He even knew that the so-called Xiaoqian’s home was just a mass grave.

In contrast, Jiang Chen, who was walking at the end, seemed much calmer, but he was also calculating in his heart that this trip would not be too calm.

Soon, the three of them passed through a huge banyan forest. The forest was filled with banyan trees of different postures, covering the sky and the moonlight could not penetrate, making them look particularly gloomy and weird.

"This is the original body of the old monster. Fortunately, the old monster's cultivation level is not enough, and it cannot fully refine the original body. Otherwise, every banyan tree here will be our enemy!" Yan Chixia couldn't help but sigh, and as she spoke, she unconsciously raised some sword intent.

Jiang Chen naturally knew that grandma was a thousand-year-old tree monster, and its body was a big banyan tree. This tree could stretch infinitely to all sides. Its pillar roots and branches were intertwined, and it looked like a dense jungle. It was called a "one-tree forest". However, the monster's body was so huge that it could not be driven. On the contrary, if this monster could really drive such a large body, its cultivation would be extremely powerful. At that time, let alone the two of them combined, even if they came again, they would be able to kneel down.

However, now! Although this tree demon grandma has a thousand years of cultivation, although it is difficult to be eliminated because of the unmoved body, because he is extremely restricted. Not to mention Yan Chixia, even if he is not sure of winning, he still has some confidence in protecting himself.

"Huh? I came out of Xiaoqian's house just now, why can't I find it now?" Ning Caichen searched in the bushes, but couldn't find the place, and was very surprised.

"Look." Jiang Chen suddenly spoke and pointed at a short distance in front of him, but there were tombstones everywhere between the plants and trees. On the ground, there were even some dead bones directly exposed to the wilderness. Needless to say, this place was clearly a mass grave.

Ning Caichen saw that he was walking over in a daze, looking around with the moonlight, looking at the tombstones and dry bones, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Yan Chixia sneered, reached out and pushed away a piece of wood: "You can see it yourself!"

Under the cover of the mixed wood, a tombstone was hidden, which was covered with moss, with the words "Tomb of the Beloved daughter Nie Xiaoqian". Ning Caichen was immediately struck by lightning when he saw it. He was completely stunned on the spot. He subconsciously stretched out his hand and touched the cold tombstone. How he hoped that this was just a dream for him, so he would not have to accept this cruel reality.

"How is it, do you believe it now?" Although he knew that it was cruel to break a person's fantasy, Yan Chixia had to do it because if she didn't wake up, she would have to pay her life as a price.

Ning Caichen murmured: "She is a ghost, so why didn't she harm me?"

"Silly boy, not all ghosts will harm people." Jiang Chen walked up, patted his shoulder gently, and sighed: "After all, ghosts are transformed by people after death. People are divided into good people and bad people, and ghosts are naturally divided into good ghosts and evil ghosts. Moreover, even if ghosts harm people, they may not harm everyone. Perhaps, you are just the kind that she doesn't want to harm, and perhaps you still have value in use."

"Is that true?" Ning Caichen laughed at himself: "So there is still value in me that can be used for people?"

"Only ghosts know this." Yan Chixia said: "In short, ghosts are like humans. For the sake of interests, they use each other. Brother Ning, I advise you to wake up earlier and not be obsessed with it anymore. You can leave here quickly when it is early tomorrow morning."

"What about you?" Ning Caichen looked at Jiang Chen again: "There is still Master Zhiqiu, aren't you leaving?"

"Don't leave." Yan Chixia said: "The human world is too complicated and difficult to distinguish right from wrong. When you are with ghosts, you can clearly distinguish black and white."

"I won't leave either." Jiang Chen said: "I want to stay and help the hero Yan kill the thousand-year-old demon entrenched here, so as not to cause harm to the world in the future."
