After dinner, night came quickly.
The afterglow of the setting sun dissipated, and Lanruo Temple fell into darkness again. Jiang Hua, Li Qingyun, and Yan Chixia were ambush in the woods. Of course, the two little cheetahs also followed.
Ning Caichen in the temple was really restless, while Jiang Hua and others outside were staying in the trees, standing high and seeing far away.
The two beasts floated quietly in Jianghua, and there was nothing uncomfortable. However, Yan Chixia suffered a lot. Mosquitoes were very dense in the sultry weather, and it was very uncomfortable to stand on a tree branch for a long time.
When it was almost early in the morning, Jiang Hua felt a yin energy entering Lanruo Temple. It should be the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian. At the same time, there was also a strange aura outside Lanruo Temple. Jiang Hua still remembered that this was the aura of the thousand-year-old tree demon. Maybe it was from the past. There are many living people sucked, and the breath is very mixed.
The ears of the hunter and Jiying floating next to them moved, then they turned their heads and looked at the dark woods, and then called them softly. Jiang Hua touched the hunter and said, "Don't be impatient."
After comforting the two little things, he turned around and looked over. The branches of the shrubs in the darkness slowly enveloped the two of them. Jiang Hua winked at Li Qingyun: "You go ahead and try out the new runes." , I'll hold the line for you."
"In case I get eaten by a monster, I need to find a woman who can take good care of you. Take care, I'm leaving." Li Qingyun looked at Jiang Hua with a pitiful look on her face, and finished speaking as if she was explaining the funeral arrangements. He kicked off the tree trunk and flew towards the swaying branches.
Jiang Hua raised her eyebrows and wondered what all this was. Recently she has become more emotional and more dramatic: "Be serious, although it may not be fatal, it is still possible to lose arms and legs."
Li Qingyun pulled out the Han Sword Aomei and chopped at the branch as thick as an arm that suddenly accelerated. This was probably not the real body. It turned into pieces of firewood under the dance of the long sword. Maybe the tree demon couldn't figure out the roots of the two of them. After trying to control the tree with magic, more and more branches and vines attacked Li Qingyun.
As more and more branches grew, Li Qingyun was a little in a hurry. She pinched a magic formula with her left hand, drew a spell in front of her, and burst out fierce Yang Qi. She waved it towards the trees in front, and the hot breath instantly ignited the fire. On these branches and vines, the Yang energy not only burned the branches, but also dispersed the demonic energy of the tree demon. Without the drive of the demonic power, these trees and vines also stopped and burned quietly.
At this time, Yan Chixia was swept down from the tree in the distance, and there was movement in Lanruo Temple. At this moment, the evil spirit was filled. It must be that the tree demon had arrived underground in the temple. Suddenly, something like tree roots rose up around the room. He took action and attacked Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian.
Li Qingyun did not immediately save one person and one ghost. Instead, she headed towards Yan Chixia and poured magic power into the talisman on the long sword. The golden light flashed on the long sword and rescued Yan Chixia. Yan Chixia thanked her. He shouted, and then walked towards Ning Caichen. Jiang Hua followed not far behind him. He also wanted to see the Xuanyuan Sword and the control techniques. It would be good to learn them secretly. After all, sword control and other sword techniques are very cool.
At this moment, the house in Lanruo Temple was surrounded by the tongues of tree monsters. Yan Chixia slashed at them with her sword, but it had no effect. It was like an iron rod hitting rubber. There was no harm except a banging sound. Instead, he was knocked away by the sweeping tongue.
At this time, Ning Caichen escaped with the help of the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian. The tree demon's thousands of years of practice were not in vain. Its fighting power was very good. It quickly blocked Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian back. Yan Chixia didn't have many tricks. , and had no choice but to use the Xuanyuan Sword.
"Prajnaparamita..." I shouted a spell, took out a copy and pasted it on the sword box, and then used my magic power to activate it. The Xuanyuan Sword popped out from one end, but its appearance was a bit unfit for its name. It was more powerful and more like a toy. What is even more speechless is a hodgepodge of Buddhist and Taoist mantras.
The real Xuanyuan Divine Sword was made by Emperor Xuanyuan from copper collected from Shoushan Mountain. On one side of the sword, the sun, moon and stars were engraved, and on the other side, mountains, rivers and vegetation were engraved. On the hilt, the art of farming and animal husbandry was written, and on the other side, the strategy of unifying the four seas was written. The runes were hidden in it. Among the many reliefs, they are extremely powerful and unparalleled in their righteousness, and they are even more sharp in slaying demons.
Yan Chixia made a sword gesture with her hand, and the runes on Xuanyuan Sword flashed for a while, and then shot out according to his gesture, pointing directly at the current thousand-year-old tree demon.
During the day, Jiang Hua had already copied the Xuanyuan Sword thoroughly. The talismans on the sword body needed to cooperate with the sword control techniques to be effective, so at this moment, all he had to do was watch Yan Chixia's control techniques.
Xuanyuan Sword only penetrated the dryad demon's clothes, because the dryad demon shrank its body and fled underground, leaving only the clothes and the golden cicada shed its shell.
Recalling the Xuanyuan Sword, she quickly came to the place where the tree demon disappeared. There was a big hole here. Yan Chixia, who used the Qiankun Borrowing Technique, drew a Tai Chi with blood on the palm of her hand, and then pinched the magic formula with her hand to blast the place wildly. But it just dissipates the evil spirit and doesn't have much effect.
The two little leopards who were following Li Qingyun, who was watching the excitement, found Nie Xiaoqian lying aside. They found that she was just like the female ghost who attacked them last night, so they meowed fiercely, and then rushed over thinking of her. Fortunately, Li Qingyun had quick eyes and quick hands and fished them back, otherwise Nie Xiaoqian would have disappeared into ashes in a daze.
Ning Caichen realized that there was no danger, and started to care about Nie Xiaoqian. It seemed that the two of them had a very happy time in the room just now. At this moment, the relationship between human and ghost was already unfolding. Ning Caichen called Nie Xiaoqian affectionately and ran over: "Xiaoqian..."
"Ning Caichen..." Nie Xiaoqian, who was already in a very embarrassed state, struggled to get up and walked towards Ning Caichen.
"Don't go there..." Yan Chixia knew that the ghosts under the tree demon's grandmother were not good people. They had killed many pedestrians for the tree demon's seduction, so she quickly stopped her. At the same time, she struck out with a palm, and a burst of mana knocked Nie Xiaoqian away. At the same time, she shot out a A soul-locking needle pinned Nie Xiaoqian in the air.
At this moment, the tongue of the tree demon appeared from the ground behind Yan Chixia, and instantly wrapped it around him. He was unable to move and was restrained without the ability to fight back. Jiang Hua no longer stood idly by, after all, he was beaten to death in front of him. Yeah, it’s not good to just stand aside and watch the excitement. I used Qinggong to step forward and slashed through Jinsong with the Han Sword. With the blessing of the runes, I cut off the tongue easily, and a liquid like tree sap spurted out. When he came out, Jiang Hua quickly dodged, and Yan Chixia, who had no power to resist, was soaked all over. She really didn't dare to look at the scene.
At the same time, there were screams of both men and women all around. Although cutting off the tongue is not fatal to the tree demon, it will still hurt a lot. Listening to the miserable cries of ghosts and wolves, you can know that the injury is definitely serious. , Jiang Hua has nothing to do about the tree demon for the time being, he can only injure him. Unless his true body is found, he can be solved once and for all. However, the woods around Lanruo Temple are really not small and require careful exploration.
Ning Caichen only had Nie Xiaoqian in his eyes at the moment. He pulled out the soul-locking needle and released the female ghost from the air, and then made love to her there.
Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet trembled, and countless roots sprang out and attacked everyone. Everyone hurriedly slashed with their swords. Nie Xiaoqian pushed Ning Caichen to Yan Chixia's position, and she was dragged into the ground by the roots of the tree demon. .
The thing happened suddenly. Although these tree roots were not very strong, they were in the way, so no one rescued them immediately. Jiang Hua did not dare to use powerful spells, in case he accidentally turned Nie Xiaoqian into fly ash. That's not good. After all, Jiang Hua is just getting started with magic, and he can't control it like his mental power.
When the tree demon realized that he couldn't take advantage, he retreated. Ning Caichen saw his sweetheart being taken away. He yelled and was very excited. He wanted to chase him underground along the tree hole. Fortunately, Yan Chixia Caught him: "Are you crazy? You already know that she will harm people, and you still want to go down with her?"
Yan Chixia didn't know what happened between one person and one ghost. In his opinion, Nie Xiaoqian was not a good ghost and had already harmed many people. How could this scholar be so stubborn that he didn't even care about his own life? , it’s really fascinating.
From the moment he met her, Ning Caichen thought that Nie Xiaoqian was someone who lived nearby. By chance, he did not realize that she had not harmed him. Then he came to report the news tonight and saved his life. He could not leave her alone. : "She was forced, why don't you sympathize with her?"
Ning Caichen struggled to push away Yan Chixia who was obstructing him, and wanted to jump out of the cave entrance. Yan Chixia grabbed him and threw him to the ground: "There is a human world, and ghosts have a ghost world. Yin and Yang are separated, and ghosts and ghosts have nothing to do with each other. As human beings, we don’t have to worry about it. This time Jiang Hua defeated the big demon’s power. Although it did not harm the main body, it will be difficult to recover and cause trouble within a hundred years, do you know?"
Yan Chixia was also very tired. She was used to the intrigues and misfortunes in the world. She sympathized with Nie Xiaoqian's matter, but she was helpless. She sighed: "Don't interfere with their affairs."
Ning Caichen was also stubborn. He stood up in embarrassment and said firmly to Yan Chixia: "No, I must save Xiaoqian. I promised her that I will take her ashes away so that she can Reincarnate and start a new life, Master Yan, I know you are no longer interested in worldly affairs, but there are many bandits on the way to Qinghua County. Without your help, I'm afraid I won't be able to take her back."
Ning Caichen had no other choice and immediately knelt in front of Yan Chixia: "If you don't save her, no one can save her. Master Yan, I beg you to show mercy and break the precept once. I beg you." Please…."
At this time, Li Qingyun walked to Jiang Hua with two restless little cheetahs in her arms. The two of them just watched and had no intention of interfering. Although the story of A Chinese Ghost Story is beautiful and touching, the two of them had no interest in these ghosts. He also had only a partial understanding of the matter, leaving little room for intervention.
"I beg you, please save Xiaoqian and give her a chance to be a human being." Ning Caichen said with a tearful tone and kept kowtowing to Yan Chixia.
"Get up." Yan Chixia wasn't a hard-hearted person either. She felt a little soft-hearted after seeing this, and helped Ning Caichen, who was kowtowing, up. He was used to the intrigues and hypocrisy of the world, so he took refuge in Lanruo Temple. Living in seclusion, it is rare to find a sincere person like Ning Caichen, so he is willing to help Ning Caichen once.
From Jiang Hua's point of view, Ning Caichen was attracted by Nie Xiaoqian's beauty. If Nie Xiaoqian was a terrifying female ghost, how could he be in the mood to stay in Lanruo Temple? All love at first sight is greed for good-looking skin. Talented men and beautiful women are good stories. But it's also very realistic.
Jiang Hua and Li Qingyun did not interrupt their "entanglement" there, and directly found a flat place on the ruins of Lanruo Temple, meditated and rested, and listened to Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen's plans from time to time.
After that, everyone calmed down and chatted for a few words. Yan Chixia thanked Jiang Hua and Li Qingyun, and then found a place with Ning Caichen to rest and wait until dawn.
