After eating a leg of lamb and drinking a bowl of mutton soup, Wang Xu looked at the time and saw that it was almost time to hit the road.
Lanruo Temple is not far from Guobei County. According to the map, after leaving the county, follow the official road to the east, walk for five and a half miles, then turn north and pass through a small forest.
After paying the bill and walking out of the restaurant, Wang Xu looked up at the sky.
Although it was noon, the sky was gray and it looked like it was going to rain.
"No matter, it's only three or five miles away, so what if it rains."
Wang Xu got on his horse, and without even looking at the sneaky people behind him, he whipped his horse and said, "Drive!"
"Boss, this kid ran away, should I chase him?"
"Of course we have to chase him. He used gold beads when he paid the bill. Whether he can make a fortune depends on today."
More than a dozen Jianghu people got up one after another, riding horses and running, chasing Wang Xu towards the place where he disappeared.

Less than four or five miles out of the county seat, there was a thunder and a heavy rain.
Wang Xu raised his head and glanced at the sky, and secretly cursed the bad luck. Soon the zhenqi spread all over his body, and his clothes were protected by the zhenqi. No matter how heavy the rain was, there was nothing he could do.
"Strong man, strong man!"
Just as Wang Xu was about to ride his horse forward, a scholar carrying a bookcase ran out of the grass on the side of the road.
"Strong man, you can't go any further. I just came from the front and heard a group of thieves say that they took a shortcut and lurked in the grass. If they encounter a horseman approaching, they will chop him to death!"
The scholar carrying a bookcase stopped in front of the horse panting and shouted to Wang Xu.
Wang Xu looked back at the road behind him. It was clearly written on the map that this was the shortest route. How could anyone be faster than him?
"What a crappy map. It clearly says it's the shortest route, but it turns out it's all a lie."
Wang Xu cursed in his heart, then raised his head to look at the scholar, and was stunned when he saw it: "Leslie Cheung?"
"What Leslie Cheung? Ning Caichen, a young student, was sent by Jubaozhai to collect the debt. I advise you to change your way. There are many thieves waiting for you ahead." Ning Caichen raised his head, feeling the raindrops hitting his face.
Not caring, but full of worry.
Wang Xu burst out laughing, then rode away and said loudly: "Scholar, thank you for the reminder. We will meet again if we are destined."
Meeting Ning Caichen by chance made Wang Xu more certain that Yan Chixia was now in Lanruo Temple.
If the plot does not change, the penniless Ning Caichen will stay at Lanruo Temple to bring out the poignant ghost story of A Chinese Lady. At that time, he can also borrow Ning Caichen's words and ask Xiaoqian to help inquire about it in half a year.
Did any Jin Yiwei come to Lanruo Temple before?
I believe that Grandma Shu and these female ghosts, as the hosts of Lanruo Temple, and Jiang Tianchen would not be able to deceive their eyes if they were here.
"drive!"
Wang Xu shouted loudly and rode away quickly on his horse.
"Hey, did you hear what I said? Someone is ambushing you in front of you!" Ning Caichen chased after the horse. As a knowledgeable scholar, he knew that no one should die in vain.
After chasing and shouting all the way, Ning Caichen's legs were almost broken, and the sound of horse hooves was getting farther and farther.
Holding his legs with both hands and breathing heavily, Ning Caichen glanced at the grass and muttered: "If we take the path, we might be able to stop him. We must not let him die in vain."
There is an official road to the east in Guobei County, but in addition to the official road, there are many shortcut roads.
Ning Caichen took a deep breath and ran towards the path beside the road, thinking that saving someone's life was better than building a seven-level pagoda. He could finally be a man.
He ran wildly for twenty minutes. Because it was going down the mountain, Ning Caichen's speed was not slow.
As a result, before he came out of the grass, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and a man in black riding on a tall horse was seen turning out of the intersection on the left.
"Strong man, don't go, the person ambushing you is right in front!"
As soon as Ning Caichen opened his mouth, Wang Xu passed by on horseback, and he didn't know whether he heard him or not.
"It's over, it's over, it's over now." Ning Caichen looked regretful, lying behind the bushes and looking at Wang Xu's retreating back.
"Brothers, the fat sheep is here, pull the rope!"
Wang Xu was galloping on his horse, and suddenly, a trip rope rose from the ground.
"Leap!" Wang Xu pinched the horse's belly, and the war horse, which had been carefully trained by Jin Yiwei, immediately jumped up in front of the tripping rope.
The bandits who were lying in ambush on both sides saw that the trip ropes were ineffective, so they rushed out waving their swords and roared: "Kill!"
"The mantis' arm is like a chariot!"
Wang Xu rode his horse forward, reached out and grabbed the three-pointed two-edged sword.
"kill!"
The sword flashed past, and the three bandits who rushed up were decapitated by his sword.
Then, like a tiger rushing into a herd of sheep, he wielded a three-pointed two-edged knife and killed his way through the group of bandits.
The rain fell heavily, and the raindrops hit the blade, diluting the blood stains on it.
Wang Xu pulled the reins and stood ten steps away, with his back to the bandits, and the scene was frozen.
One second, two seconds, three seconds
Five seconds later, a dozen motionless bandits suddenly fell to the ground, their heads rolling in, and the ground stained red with blood.
"You don't even know who I am and you dare to come to stop me. You should be killed!"
Wang Xu swung his sword and put it directly into the space ring. Then he turned around and said, "Come out, I feel you."
"Strong man, I'm not on the same side as them. Don't get me wrong!"
Ning Caichen was trembling with fear. He thought he could be the savior, but he didn't expect that he would pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
There were more than a dozen people, and they were all dead after just a few swipes and a few swipes. They couldn't chop melons and vegetables that quickly.
"Haha, I just said we would see each other again, and then we met. We are really destined." Seeing that the person coming was Ning Caichen, Wang Xu showed a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Scholar, I guess you will accept it this time."
The account is 100% fruitless. When the time comes, if you have nowhere to go at night, come to Lanruo Temple to find me."
"Where is Lanruo Temple?" Ning Caichen came to Guobei County to collect debts, so of course he would be happy to have a place to live.
Wang Xu pointed to the north, pointed to the woods not far away, and replied: "It's in this direction. Come and have wine and meat. I'll wait for you to drive."
We met twice, both times we were in a hurry and didn't even exchange a few words.
But in Ning Caichen's view, they were already friends, and he couldn't help but mutter: "What a knight-errant!"
Wang Xu, who had already left, had no idea what Ning Caichen was thinking, otherwise he would have laughed so hard.
In the movie, Ning Caichen encounters General Xiahou in the pavilion and kills everyone. At that time, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.
Now, General Xiahou, who was also killing people and had a sinister look on his face, was replaced by a well-dressed young man like Wang Xu. He actually got two completely different reactions. I really don’t know whether to say that this world is about face, or that ordinary people are just like that.
I like to judge people by their appearance.
Wang Xu didn't know this, he was riding through the woods towards the location of Lanruo Temple.
Lanruo Temple was once very popular, especially during the previous dynasty, when it was the royal temple of Prince Yan. During the prosperous period, there were hundreds of monks, giving sermons all year round.
After the fall of the previous dynasty, Lanruo Temple was boycotted and persecuted by the current dynasty because of its relationship with the previous dynasty.
After holding on for a while, no improvement was seen for a long time. The monks gradually dispersed and finally fell into disuse.
It was also from that time that there were rumors of ghosts in Lanruo Temple. Even in Jinyiwei's files, there were rumors that Lanruo Temple was destroyed, not only because there were not many pilgrims, but also related to ghosts.
Woo woo woo
Strong winds accompanied by heavy rain, flying sand and rocks, made a century-old temple look like a ghost against the dark clouds.
Wang Xu came on horseback, feeling the sense of prying eyes around him, and glanced at the stone tablet at the door: "Lanruo Temple!"
The name Lanruo Temple was written on the stone tablet, and the sense of peeping around him, if he expected it correctly, should be Grandma Shu's peeping.
Grandma Shu is a big locust tree. She was there when Lanruo Temple was built. She listened to Buddhism all day long and was born with spiritual wisdom. She has practiced Taoism for a thousand years.
Unlike ghosts, Grandma Tree is a demon and she can move during the day.
However, the sufficient yang energy during the day will weaken her magic power, which creates the illusion that Grandma Tree is like a ghost and cannot appear during the day.
"I, Wang Xu, a member of the Jin Yi Guards family, would like to introduce himself to his family again. If you are interested, please ask Grandma Shu to come and meet you in the evening." Wang Xu's voice was like thunder, covering a radius of several miles, even the thunderstorm in the sky was covered.
He pressed down.
Wang Xu waited for two minutes. Just when he thought Grandma Shu would not come to see him, all the surrounding trees began to tremble, as if in response to his words.
"Okay, we have an agreement!" Wang Xu turned over and dismounted. The small trees around him were all the descendants of Grandma Shu. The abnormal behavior of these big trees was Grandma Shu's response.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, the surrounding trees stopped trembling, as if they had returned to their previous tranquility.
