Ning Caichen carried his luggage and left. Zhang Heng sent him out of the mountain gate with a message: "I advise you to leave and never come back."
Ning Caichen nodded repeatedly.
No matter how stupid he is, he can still see that Lanruo Temple is not clean and is not a place to stay for a long time.
If Zhang Heng dares to stay, it's because he has the ability.
Those who are incompetent will be like Scarface, dying without knowing how.
"Grandma Shu!"
Send Ning Caichen away.
Zhang Heng couldn't help but glance towards the back of the temple.
Enter the eyes.
There is a towering ancient tree behind the temple. Its crown is so big that it covers almost half of the temple, like a giant umbrella reaching into the sky.
This is the true form of Grandma Tree, the thousand-year-old locust tree.
The locust tree is also known as the ghost tree.
It has the ability to gather and shelter Yin, and has the natural ability to attract lonely souls.
It is precisely because of this tree that the back of Lanruo Temple became a mass grave.
Because this place is very suitable for burials, in the past when there were still monks in Lanruo Temple, the monks would chant sutras under the trees to save the souls in the mass graves.
Unfortunately, there was an extermination of Buddhism three hundred years ago. The monks fled in all directions and never came back. Lanruo Temple also declined and became the territory of tree demons.
"Although Grandma Tree is quite strong, she is bulky and cannot move. It is like a living target to me. I don't think it will be difficult to deal with it. What is difficult is that behind Grandma Tree, there is an old Black Mountain demon who is enshrined by it.
.”
Although Grandma Shu is a demon king.
But there is an old demon from Montenegro behind it. The old demon from Montenegro is enshrined by it and will also protect it.
Therefore, in times of crisis, Grandma Tree can summon the Black Mountain Old Demon.
That old demon's body was transformed by the Black Mountain of Ten Thousand Years. His strength has reached the limit of the human world and can manifest in the world of the world at any time.
Now that Yan Chixia is away, Zhang Heng does not want to provoke it.
after all.
The body of the Black Mountain Old Demon is a mountain.
It is difficult for a mountain to awaken its true spirit, but once it is awakened, its heels are not comparable to ordinary beasts and tree spirits. At the same level, its mana, defense, attack, and various attributes are much stronger than those of ordinary monsters.
Zhang Heng guessed that the cultivation level of the old demon from Black Mountain should be the perfect level of Hedao.
But his attribute panel is probably no less luxurious than a Sanxian.
For ordinary monsters, take Grandma Shu as an example, if its mana is 100 when it reaches the perfection of Hedao realm, the old monster of Black Mountain must have 150.
Don't look at the fact that it's only 50 more, which doesn't seem like much.
In fact, five Tree Lamas are not enough to defeat the Black Mountain Old Demon. If the Tree Lama and the Nine-Tailed Demon King are considered elite bosses, the Black Mountain Old Demon is at the epic level. This type of dungeon is difficult for a single player to complete.
night...
"Son."
As soon as it gets dark, Nie Xiaoqian comes.
She was holding a tray in her hand. On the tray was a jug of wine, two steamed buns, and three plates of side dishes.
"For me?"
Zhang Heng glanced at the food and wine but did not make a move.
"Son."
Nie Xiaoqian put down her things and suddenly knelt down: "Please save me, Master."
"save you?"
Zhang Heng's face was expressionless.
Nie Xiaoqian looked sad and cried: "I am originally the daughter of an official. A year ago, I followed my father from the capital to take office in Guonan County next door. I didn't want to be attacked by bandits on the way, so I had to kill myself to protect my innocence.
After I died, my father buried my ashes in a mass grave behind Lanruo Temple.
Unexpectedly, the mass grave has been occupied by a thousand-year-old dryad, and my urn fell into the hands of the dryad. It controlled me and asked me to seduce passers-by and murder people for it.
But I don’t obey it sincerely. Over the past year or so, I have let many innocent people go, and only attacked evil people covered in blood. Please show me your mercy and save me.”
Zhang Heng remained unmoved: "What then?"
Nie Xiaoqian lowered her head and cried: "On the fifteenth day of this month, Grandma Shu is going to marry me to the old Black Mountain demon as a concubine. The old Black Mountain demon has mastered the art of swallowing spirits. I heard that the female ghost who married the old Black Mountain demon as a concubine,
I will be swallowed up by it after being fond of the new and tired of the old. If I fall into its hands, I'm afraid I will never be reincarnated."
"Never be reincarnated!"
Zhang Heng nodded: "How pitiful!"
Well...
Nie Xiaoqian looked at Zhang Heng carefully.
As a result, Zhang Heng said that she was too pitiful and stopped silent. He did not say anything about rescuing her at all.
After waiting for a while, but before Zhang Heng could express his position, Nie Xiaoqian hurriedly said: "Sir, Grandma Shu let you stay here because she didn't have good intentions. She is very jealous of you and Yan Chixia, and is planning to invite the old demon from Montenegro to deal with you.
."
Zhang Heng looked at Nie Xiaoqian quietly, making her feel scared.
Just when Nie Xiaoqian was wondering if she should say something, Zhang Heng said, "Then what should I do?"
"The slave family is willing to help the young master. If Grandma Shu invites the old Black Mountain demon, I will report the news to the young master in advance. I only hope that the young master can take Xiaoqian with him when he leaves. Xiaoqian is willing to stay with the young master and work as a slave and maid to repay the young master.
Kindness.”
Nie Xiaoqian cried so hard that the pear blossoms were wet with rain, and she looked at him with a desire to refuse but to welcome him.
Zhang Heng remained unmoved.
Not talking about leaving, not talking about staying, let alone taking Nie Xiaoqian with her.
Nie Xiaoqian's heart beat more and more loudly, and she whispered: "Master, if you have other ideas, you can talk to the slave family. The slave family is quite favored by Grandma Shu. I basically know about Grandma Shu, and the slave family will help you find out the details."
all know?
When Zhang Heng heard this, the look in his eyes became even more playful.
If he remembered correctly, Nie Xiaoqian just said that she fell into the hands of Grandma Shu a year ago.
Judging from the time, she has not been following Grandma Shu for a long time, which is the shortest among the female ghosts.
But she is the most favored, and she knows a lot about Grandma Shu. So the question is, why is she favored, and how does she know those things?
Not easy to think about.
"You go down first. Today is the second day of July, and it's still early to July 15th. Let me think about what you said."
Zhang Heng was vague.
Nie Xiaoqian had no choice but to turn around and walk away.
Wait until she leaves.
Zhang Heng glanced at the food and wine on the table, smiled coldly, and didn't take a bite.
A little.
Inside the Shuling Pavilion.
"Grandma, I have already shown my loyalty to that man according to your instructions. I also said that I don't want to marry the Black Mountain old demon and begged him to take me away from Lanruo Temple. But he seemed to be very hard-hearted. He only said that it was still early and he had to think about it.
After a few days, I sent the slave back, not trusting her words very much."
Return to Shuling Pavilion.
Nie Xiaoqianlian stepped forward and slapped Grandma Shu on the shoulder.
Grandma Shu's eyes were like lightning, and her voice was half male and half female: "Have you ever found out why he came to Lanruo Temple to find Yan Chixia?"
"I haven't found out yet."
Nie Xiaoqian knelt on the ground: "Please punish me, grandma."
"Get up, you work hard, how can I punish you?"
Grandma Shu smiled softly: "I asked someone to order two sets of wedding dresses. I will ask Xiaoqing to accompany you to try them on to see if they fit."
"Thank you, grandma."
Nie Xiaoqian respectfully stepped down.
Arrived outside the door.
Xiaoqing is already waiting here.
She heard the conversation in the room clearly, and when she saw Nie Xiaoqian coming out, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Don't bet on both ends because I don't know what you are thinking. Be careful."
Nie Xiaoqian frowned slightly: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"have no idea?"
Xiaoqing has followed Grandma Shu for many years, and she used to be Grandma Shu's favorite maid.
Since Nie Xiaoqian came, her status has plummeted. She has long been waiting for the day when Nie Xiaoqian's unlucky day comes: "Don't think that you are the only one who is smart. Others are fools. If I am not wrong, that person will take you away from Lanruo Temple."
, I’m afraid you’ll follow him eagerly, right?”
"What you thought at that time was not mine."
Nie Xiaoqian snorted coldly: "I am loyal to grandma. If grandma says one thing, I will never say two. Those words are just a trick to win his trust. Now even you think that I am going to betray grandma. It seems like my plan
It was very successful."
Xiao Qing's eyes became even colder: "You know whether you are sincere or fake, or half-truth or half-false, but I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. Your birth date has been sent to Mr. Montenegro, even if you run away
Even to the ends of the earth, you can't escape from the hands of Master Montenegro."
Hear this.
Nie Xiaoqian's eyebrows lit up and she looked Xiaoqing up and down: "Master Heishan? Xiaoqing, you are very loyal to the old demon Heishan. You are the master every time. If you don't know, you might think you are going to marry him!"
After finishing speaking, his voice became colder: "If you raise a white-eyed wolf, grandma's love for you will be in vain."
scare!!
Xiao Qing's expression changed instantly, and she subconsciously glanced at the Shuling Pavilion with its door closed.
You must know that although Grandma Shu is in name only, she is a subordinate who pays tribute to the Black Mountain Old Demon.
But in reality, Grandma Shu has long been separated from the old monster from Montenegro, but she is not strong enough and has to maintain her appearance.
Nie Xiaoqian's words can be described as heartbreaking.
Xiaoqing is Grandma Shu's maid. If she loves Master Heishan, can Grandma Shu keep her?
"Are you scared?"
"How can you fight with me if you are so timid?"
Seeing the fear in Xiao Qing's eyes, Nie Xiaoqian put on a look of pity and reached out to touch Xiao Qing's face: "A phoenix is a phoenix, and a chicken is a chicken. Even if it flies on a branch, it can't change your nature. With your little ability,
Even if I marry the old monster from Montenegro, you can't take my place, so give up on this as soon as possible."
Xiaoqing was ashamed and angry.
But before she could refute, Grandma Shu's voice came from the Shuling Pavilion: "Xiaoqian, don't scare Xiaoqing. Go try on the wedding dress. If it doesn't fit, I'll have someone change it."
Nie Xiaoqian smiled coldly at Xiaoqing, then respectfully saluted in the direction of Shuling Pavilion and said, "Yes, grandma."
at the same time.
Zhang Heng looked at the water mirror in the tea bowl, read their lips, and whispered: "Interesting!"
A Chinese Ghost Story is a movie.
But there are many things hidden beneath the movie.
The first is Nie Xiaoqian. She came from a family of officials, and what she saw most was intrigues.
This has become one of her skills, just like piano, calligraphy and painting.
Is she really as innocent and beautiful as Ning Caichen said in the movie?
Beautiful for sure.
I'm afraid it may not be simple.
Zhang Heng likes to analyze problems from the perspective of interests.
The whole A Chinese Ghost Story, Ning Caichen, Yan Chixia, Shu Laolao, Black Mountain Old Demon, Nie Xiaoqian.
Whose interests are maximized?
It's Nie Xiaoqian.
She changed her fate of marrying the old monster from Montenegro and calmly reincarnated.
This woman is of a very high rank.
This can be seen in many places.
For example, he suppressed Xiaoqing, hinted at Ning Caichen, and cried to Yan Chixia.
She has different faces for different people, and she is comprehensive and can switch freely.
If you look at it from the perspective of a palace fighting drama, this position requires a noble concubine at the beginning.
