The three of them were all kung fu masters and soon arrived at the official road. Ning Caichen was still waiting here nervously. Seeing that the three of them were intact, he breathed a sigh of relief: "You are finally back. How is the tree demon? ?”
Yan Chixia directly got on a horse and slapped Ning Caichen on the back: "What are you thinking about? Of course we can catch it. We have three masters who can't deal with a tree demon. We have already solved it. That Nie Xiaoqian of yours You can rest assured that you will be reincarnated."
Jiang Hua took a look at the four horses. They were not good horses, and the colors were not very good-looking. They were a bit thin. There was no choice at the moment: "What are you going to do now?"
"Nothing, just escorting the scholar back with Nie Xiaoqian's golden pagoda. What about you, do we want to separate?" Yan Chixia asked curiously. After all, the two sides didn't have much interaction, so it was normal for them to go their separate ways.
Jiang Hua still wants to visit the underworld. How can we just leave like this? The dryad grandmother has already promised Nie Xiaoqian to the old black mountain demon in the underworld. Today should be the wedding day: "We, husband and wife, are just out for fun, with no destination." , it’s okay to walk with you for a while, Master Yan will tell us what we need to pay attention to when traveling in the world, so as to avoid encountering difficult problems."
"Well, let's walk together for a while. Seeing as you are also newbies, you still dare to walk out like this. If you meet those unethical people, you will be in trouble." Yan Chixia did not object: "It's best to have wine. Already."
"I don't have much here. I left one bottle behind. I've almost finished the one I brought out. Just save some." Jiang Hua took out a crane-neck bottle from his backpack and threw it to him. The backpack was so big. You can’t just pretend to be a bar, you have to be careful to deceive others.
"That's it. It seems that the good times are coming to an end." Yan Chixia was a little disappointed. Such a beautiful wine is really endless. When she thinks about the days after she stopped drinking, she still has to drink wine that has faded into clear water. She feels uncomfortable. Keep it simple. It's easy to go into luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to simplicity.
"Then thank you, Master Jiang and Madam. I'm very grateful." Ning Caichen was also very grateful. Jiang Hua and Li Qingyun had been of great help to him these days. Although the two sides didn't communicate much, although Ning Caichen was a bit pedantic, he still understood Reasonable.
"Let's set off before dawn. We need to find a place to sleep on the way." Li Qingyun looked at the sun that had set in the west.
"Okay, we have a golden pagoda with us. If the ghost in the golden pagoda comes out without our attention and causes panic, it will be bad, so we won't enter the city." Yan Chixia explained her plan for the trip.
Just like this, a group of four people and two little cheetahs lay on the horses' necks for a ride, not caring about the bumps and bumps. The four horses ran for more than half an hour, and it was getting dark. Although it was an official road, , but it’s not flat, and the horses can’t run, so they jog in the dim light of the moon and occasionally communicate.
Just like this, when it was almost nine o'clock, we finally saw a little light. The four people urged the horses to move forward quickly. As they approached, they saw four lanterns with the name Yunlai Inn written on it. It is a very popular name among the public. There is something a little bit here. Dirty and messy, but nothing to fault in the middle of nowhere.
The four of them tied their horses in a stable on one side and entered the inn lobby. There were red lanterns with red 囍 characters hanging everywhere, as well as red candles and red silk.
Ning Caichen walked in front: "Is there anyone there?"
Yan Chixia was also surprised: "Is someone holding a happy event? Shopkeeper, are you here?"
Ning Caichen, whose experience in the past two days was a bit strange, shrank when he saw no one responded: "How come there is no one? Are everyone dead?"
Jiang Hua chuckled. The evil spirit here was very strong at the moment, but the inn clerk was still alive and fell on the bench beside the table. He was either really asleep or had been cast into a coma.
Li Qingyun hugged the two little leopards and comforted them. They were also eager to fight in the afternoon, but they were kept pressed. At this moment, they sensed the evil spirit and were ready to move.
"Ah... who died?" After Ning Caichen finished shouting, the inn clerk quickly sat up and answered in a panic. When he saw four people, he asked, "What do you do?"
Yan Chixia turned to look at the sleepy waiter: "We are here to stay."
The waiter looked at the group of people, took the oil lamp on the table, and said feebly to everyone: "Follow me."
Following the waiter, the four of them looked at the inn and headed towards the guest rooms in the backyard. They chose two clean guest rooms. Jiang Hua directly threw out a gold leaf, which was originally made in the martial arts world: "No need to look for it."
This piece of gold leaf is worth a lot of money. Not to mention the workmanship, it is not light in weight. The excited waiter quickly nodded and bowed: "Thank you sir, seeing that you are so busy, how about I prepare some food and drinks for you?"
"No, we are tired and need to rest. I didn't ask you not to disturb us." Li Qingyun knew that this place had been slaughtered, and she was worried about the food and wine. Who knew whether it was human flesh or something.
The guest room was said to be clean but also old. When I entered the room with an oil lamp, the dim light added to the weird atmosphere: "I don't know if it's the world or my psychology, but it always feels eerie."
"Haha, yes. This world is full of demons and ghosts. Now it's still the Ghost Festival. It's normal for you to feel spooky. What's more, this store is under special care." Jiang Hua took out some cold meat dishes and juice. , served as dinner.
Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia were looking for ghosts next door. Li Qingyun burst out laughing as she thought about it. Jiang Hua felt confused and stopped his chopsticks: "What kind of nerves are you getting?"
Li Qingyun said with a smile: "I just thought of a funny thing and couldn't hold it back for a while."
Jiang Hua also showed interest and was ready to listen: "It makes me happy to say it."
"It's nothing. Next door, Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia are dealing with the affairs of the Golden Pagoda. I guess a group of students are playing a game of attracting ghosts in the dormitory in the middle of the night." What Li Qingyun said was really interesting, but at this moment, Yan Chixia He yelled: "Quickly...get out of here quickly. What are you two doing here? This inn is very evil. Pack your things quickly and leave here immediately. Jiang Hua, you guys, also leave quickly."
Jiang Hua knew what Yan Chixia had discovered, so he packed up the plates and put them into the space, took the sword and went out with Li Qingyun, knowingly asking: "Taoist Master Yan, what happened?"
When Jiang Hua and the two caught up, they saw that Nie Xiaoqian had been sucked into the air, then entered a spatial vortex and disappeared, leaving only an affectionate call in the air: Ning Caichen, Nie Xiaoqian.
Yan Chixia said solemnly: "Today is an auspicious day for demons in the underworld, and this is the dojo where ghosts get married. Obviously, this is for Nie Xiaoqian, and he must have been captured by the big demon in the underworld."
"Then what should we do?" Ning Caichen was now at a loss.
"It seems we have to go to the underworld." Yan Chixia's tone was very serious. It was obvious that it was not easy to break into the underworld. Then she turned to look at Jiang Hua and the two people who were following them: "Are you going? This trip is not allowed. It's as simple as killing a tree demon. Although all the ghosts and immortals in the underworld have left, there are still many big demons occupying them. This trip will definitely lead to a narrow escape, you decide for yourself."
"It's okay. The underworld is very famous. It's good to go and see it if you have this opportunity." This is the purpose of Jiang Hua's trip, how can he miss it.
"In that case, let's leave without further delay." After Yan Chixia finished speaking, she took out a stick of incense from her backpack, lit it and handed it to Ning Caichen: "We must save the people before this stick of incense burns out. Nie Xiaoqian, we won’t be able to come back once daybreak, remember, close your eyes and follow me.”
After Yan Chixia finished speaking, she pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword from the sword case, picked up the magic formula and swung the sword in front of her, directly splitting a two-meter-high hole in the space. Jiang Hua was not far away and was observing Yan. Chixia's movements are the effect of the Xuanyuan Sword. When the talisman on the Xuanyuan Sword works, it pulls the "membrane" between the human world and another space together to form a passage. That space should be the underworld.
Jiang Hua and Li Qingyun followed Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen through this space passage and came to a place with a harsh environment. The wind was very strong, there was odorless smoke everywhere, and the visibility was very low. Ning Caichen was attracted by Yan Chixia Pulling him forward: "Can you open your eyes now?"
Yan Chixia said angrily: "How can you find it if you don't open your eyes?"
After Jiang Hua stood still, he spread his spiritual sense and soon felt a gathering of Yin Qi, which was still moving. Jiang Hua came to Yan Chixia and pointed in the direction. Yan Chixia sensed it carefully and then clicked He nodded and said to the three of them: "There is a lot of ghost energy over there, let's go take a look."
At this time, Li Qingyun had already released the two little leopards and followed them honestly. They were smart and knew not to act rashly, otherwise they would be caught again.
After walking a few hundred meters, a team appeared in the smoke. A closer look revealed that the people and horses in the team had an illusory feeling. They were obviously ghosts. Nie Xiaoqian was in a simple sedan, dressed in red but could not get out. Come.
Ning Caichen called out Nie Xiaoqian's name and opened his arms to stop the procession. However, the procession had no intention of stopping and passed directly through Nie Caichen's body. Ning Caichen walked towards the procession. The ghost waved his hand, but his hands were filled with nothingness. There was no effort at all. Even the sedan that was being carried and Nie Xiaoqian inside could not be touched.
"Why can't I meet her?" Ning Caichen asked Yan Chixia, obviously very anxious.
Nie Xiaoqian in the sedan heard Ning Caichen's voice and looked around: "Ning Caichen..."
"Xiaoqian, Nie Xiaoqian..."
"People can't see ghosts in the human world, and ghosts can't see humans in the underworld." Yan Chixia explained at the top of her lungs, then took out a piece of talisman paper, pinched the talisman with her hand, lit it, and then pinched Ning Caichen's mouth. , let him swallow it: "This way Nie Xiaoqian can see you, let's go."
Four people and two pets followed the ghost wedding team, but before going very far, they encountered a large group of ghost soldiers and ghost generals blocking the way. Nie Xiaoqian had been locked on the altar. These ghost soldiers and ghost generals were not weak in cultivation and could see The four people, under the command of the ghost general, attacked here. They had obviously been waiting for a long time.
