Yan Chixia was indeed kind-hearted, because he could tell at a glance that Ning Caichen was just a weak scholar. Staying in Lanruo Temple was a lamb to be slaughtered for those demons and ghosts.

Unfortunately, as a person who is not good at socializing, his words are obviously not convincing in Ning Caichen's eyes. Moreover, in Ning Caichen's eyes, Yan Chixia himself is not like a good person, so he completely disbelief of Yan Chixia's words. Moreover, with Bai Changsheng there, he also felt very safe. He felt that even if Lan Ruo Temple was really unsafe, he and Bai Changsheng would be there.

Seeing this, Yan Chixia simply stopped talking and turned around and left. Ning Caichen and Bai Changsheng immediately found two adjacent rooms in the ancient temple and lived there.

"That big beard is obviously not a good person. Brother Bai, we have to be careful about him tonight."

Ning Caichen felt that Yan Chixia was not like a good person. After settled down in the ancient temple with Bai Changsheng, he couldn't help but say.

"Brother Ning may have misunderstood. Although the Taoist priest said coldly and evil, I see that he is not like a traitor or evil person. He probably has a cold and heart-warming face."

"Since that Taoist priest said that this ancient temple is not safe, it should not be an exaggeration. Brother Ning should be careful tonight."

Bai Changsheng said with a smile.

However, it is difficult to change the first impression of people easily. Ning Caichen thought that Yan Chixia was not a good person through his previous first impression of Yan Chixia, so he did not believe much about Bai Changsheng's words and still insisted on his own point of view.

"It's better to be careful. You should not be harmful to others, but you should not be careful. Brother Bai should not make a judgment lightly."

Bai Changsheng Xiaoxiao did not continue to talk more about this topic with Ning Caichen.

In a wing room deep in the ancient temple, Yan Chixia was also secretly paying attention to Bai Changsheng and Ning Caichen through her divine thoughts. Listening to their conversation, Ning Caichen firmly believed that he was not a good person, and Yan Chixia was also very upset.

"This stupid scholar has a kind heart as a donkey's liver and lungs, and he deserves it even if he dies."

Then his attention fell on Bai Changsheng again. He wanted to see Bai Changsheng's reality, but he found that Bai Changsheng was like a deep and invisible fog. With his cultivation level in the realm of Knowing the Destiny, he could not see through it at all.

Even if Bai Changsheng was a human being, he could not see it, but Bai Changsheng had no evil aura, which gave him a sacred feeling that he had never seen before.

"This person?"

Yan Chixia frowned, and couldn't help but guess Bai Changsheng's identity in her heart, but except for being able to judge that Bai Changsheng is not simple, the others were completely in a fog.

Just at this moment.

“Swishy~Swishy~”

"Dingling"

Outside the ancient Lanruo Temple that ordinary people cannot hear, a rustling sound of something crawling quickly on the ground and the swaying bells suddenly rang out, accompanied by a faint smell of blood floating in the wind.

"The old demon is out to move again. I don't know which unlucky guy died this time."

Hearing this voice, Yan Chixia's eyes suddenly condensed, knowing that the old tree demon behind the ancient temple had come out to do evil again.

But he had no choice, because the old tree demon, whose cultivation strength is not inferior to him in the thousand-year-old Taoist practice, and even if he is rooted in the underground, he will definitely not be able to kill the old tree demon even if he can defeat the old tree demon. Therefore, even though he knows that the old tree demon has done evil over the years, he cannot stop it. At most, he occasionally takes action to save some people as much as he can.

"No, Brother Xiahou!"

But immediately, Yan Chixia's face changed again. She suddenly thought of Xiahou, who had competed with him before, although Xiahou was utilitarian, he had known each other for more than ten years, and even if he was not a friend, he could be considered an old acquaintance.

Moreover, Xiahou, as a martial arts practitioner, has strong qi and blood, and must be the key target of the old tree demon.

The most important thing is that although Xiahou has extraordinary martial arts, especially in simple swordsmanship, he is almost not much weaker than him, but Xiahou is not a real practitioner of Taoism after all, but only a swordsman in the martial arts world. His true cultivation is less than even entering the true realm. Once he is targeted by the old tree demon, he will definitely be dead and will never die.

Thinking of this, Yan Chixia immediately stepped out and flew out of the ancient temple.

Xiahou was soon found by the stream outside the ancient temple, but when he arrived, his entire body of flesh and blood had been sucked dry, leaving only a mummy.

"Brother Ning is from Jinhua, how could he come to Guobei County?"

In Lanruo Temple, Bai Changsheng started chatting with Ning Caichen.

"I'm here to collect the accounts for Qibaozhai."

Ning Caichen felt a little embarrassed, but he still told Bai Changsheng why he came to Guobei County.

After a conversation, Ning Caichen also told the situation at his family. The Ning family's original family was quite good, but later it fell into trouble. Now that the mother in the family is sick, she needs medical treatment. In addition, in the troubled times, Ning Caichen could not find any job to make money to support the family, so she had to take over the job that Qibaozhai helped to collect the accounts in Guobei County.

"The world is turbulent, and people's livelihood is so difficult."

"Yes, the world is turbulent and people's livelihood is so difficult. I have read the books of sages since I was a child, but now I have achieved nothing. My mother is helpless when she is sick. She is really useless and she is a scholar."

Listening to Bai Changsheng's words, Ning Caichen couldn't help but look depressed and confused.

When he was young, he read books of sages since he was a child, determined to obtain fame and honor, glorify his ancestors, and support the world. He thought that as long as he studied hard, he could achieve everything, but now, he couldn't help but be confused.

Even if he reads many books, he has achieved nothing to this day, and now even his mother is helpless when she is sick.

Ning Caichen even began to doubt whether it would be useful to read so many books he had read.

"Why do you have to say such a disheartening thing? As the saying goes, I am born with talent and will be useful. Brother Ning is full of talent, so how can he be useless? It's just that he lacks an opportunity to display it."

Ning Caichen smiled bitterly when he heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile, just thinking that Bai Changsheng comforted himself. He was helpless at the moment, so why not talk about anything else?

Bai Changsheng continued to Taoism.

"But if there is such an opportunity to display your talents, Brother Ning thinks, what should we do if we are scholars?"

When what?

Ning Caichen pondered after hearing this, began to think, and then said.

"If we really have such an opportunity, our scholars should serve the court and support the rule of the world."

"What if the king is unrighteous and the court will collapse?"

Bai Changsheng asked again.

"this?"

Ning Caichen was stunned and didn't know how to answer. Even if he had something in his heart, he felt very rebellious, which made him feel a little afraid to say it.

At this time, Bai Changsheng laughed again.

"I wonder if Brother Ning has heard these four sentences."

"What do you mean?"

"Set up your mind for heaven and earth, establish your destiny for the living and the people, inherit your unique knowledge for the past sages, and bring peace to the ages."

Ning Caichen was stunned when he heard this, and felt something exploded in his mind.
