As if the fear in his heart had not ceased, Ning Caichen looked at the red light and asked, "Brother Yan, what is that?"
Yan Chixia said: "My sword is shining. That's where our bodies are. Let's go over there."
As the two of them walked and chatted, Yan Chixia asked, "I don't know what kind of dharma lineage Brother Ning has, and which disciple is he?"
"This..." Ning Caichen glanced at his right hand hesitantly. He didn't want to lie to Yan Chixia, but he didn't know what Gong Mengbi was thinking, so he was immediately in a dilemma.
Gong Mengbi didn't want him to be in trouble, and he was very willing to spend some time with Yan Chixia before saying, "Brother Ning, just tell the truth."
Suddenly there was another voice, and Yan Chixia was startled: "Who is talking?"
Ning Caichen breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to let Yan Chixia see the fox tattoo on his palm, and told Gong Mengbi the truth.
Only then did Yan Chixia understand that it was not Ning Caichen who was secretly helping and pushing the wind and fire, but the fox fairy hidden in his palm.
Yan Chixia expressed her sincere expression and said thanks: "Thank you, Brother Gong, for saving your life, otherwise we would all have stayed in the depths of the orchid shade."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said: "Brother Ma and Brother Ning are both my friends. If you are their friend, you are also my friend. If your friends are in trouble, you have to save them."
Yan Chixia felt emotional for a moment: "Brother Gong Gaoyi, I have met some fox monsters before, but none like Brother Gong."
Gong Mengbi asked curiously: "From Brother Yan's perspective, what does the fox charm look like?"
Yan Chixia immediately hesitated and became speechless. After a long while, she considered her words and said, "Sentimental and willful."
Gong Mengbi laughed: "Brother Yan said it too euphemistically. Wild foxes in the world are neglectful of education. Brother Yan actually wants to say: Passionate people are romantic and lustful, taking the yin and yang of others; self-willed people are perverse and mischievous, and deceive others. With the benefit of magic."
all hit.
Yan Chixia suddenly laughed and didn't know how to answer.
Gong Mengbi thought it was nothing. He had a clear understanding of the virtues of wild foxes in the world and a clear understanding of the cause of Tianhu Academy. He said, "What Brother Yan said is also a headache for me."
Speaking of this, Gong Mengbi was filled with emotion, and Ning Caichen also had a say.
Ning Caichen said: "Brother Yan doesn't know something. Brother Mingfu cultivates in the Tianhu Academy under the command of Empress Taishan. Now he is also a fox immortal. He is the fox chief of Dongyang County and has jurisdiction over fox affairs in Dongyang County. Before that, he was the fox master of Wuning County. Fox Club. For the sake of wild foxes, Brother Mingfu established Huziyuan when he was in Wuning County to educate the fox charms and change the trend. It was because I taught in Huziyuan that I got to know Brother Mingfu."
Yan Chixia was very interested, so Ning Caichen introduced the affairs of Huziyuan in detail, which was also a detailed introduction to Gong Mengbi's character and virtue.
After hearing this, Yan Chixia's face felt hot. He had some preconceived ideas about foxes, and he couldn't help but sigh at Gong Mengbi's methods and ambitions, "To educate wild foxes in the world, what Brother Gong has done is of great merit. "
Gong Mengbi said: "I don't dare to take credit, I just promote the righteous way of Empress Taishan."
As he spoke, he had already reached his destination.
Green smoke lingers, and red light looms.
Ning Caichen had the illusion of diving, as if he had passed through an underwater world and returned to the shore.
The sky was getting brighter, and the aroma of incense pills lingered. The doors and windows were not moved at all, and there was no sign of breaking in. However, the white mist had disappeared.
Ning Caichen stood up, and a ball of fire emerged from his palm. It solidified with the scent and transformed into the image of Gong Mengbi.
Yan Chixia, who was on the bed, also stood up and took out a sword box from the bedside box. It was this sword box that glowed with red light. Yan Chixia calmed it down with her magic power and gradually calmed down.
Gong Mengbi took one look at it and said, "It's such a good sword."
Yan Chixia looked at Gong Mengbi who was condensing into the smoke. She was indeed extraordinary in her immortal appearance and integrity. He held the sword box and said: "This is the skill of eating, how can you not hone it well?"
Gong Mengbi took advantage of the situation and asked, "Which official family is Brother Yan from?"
Yan Chixia hesitated for a moment and said: "I used to practice in Taiyi Palace in Taiyi Mountain, but my mortal relationship was not over, so I was driven down the mountain by my master. Now I am going to Qiantang to visit relatives. When I passed by Jinhua, I saw that the ancient temple in the mountain had a strong strange atmosphere. I was afraid that If any monsters cause trouble, please stay here temporarily."
Gong Mengbi has never been to Qin, but Taiyi Mountain is famous. Even if he has never been there, he has heard of it, "It turns out that he is a disciple of Taiyi Palace. No wonder there is such a scene."
He glanced out the window and said: "The sky will be bright, so everything should be safe and sound. The incense will be extinguished, and I won't be able to leave my trace. Brother Yan, you should go down the mountain before dawn, otherwise something might happen again at night."
Yan Chixia said: "It doesn't matter to me. I was frightened by these pretenders last night. Today I want to see what other tricks they have. But Brother Ning and Brother Ma, it's really best to leave here first. I I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect you when the time comes.”
Ning Caichen wanted to leave, but he just smiled bitterly and said: "Jinhua City is full, so I came here because I couldn't find a place to stay. I can leave, but there is no place to go."
Gong Mengbi glanced at the poor scholar. He had been tortured for two nights in a row, and his eyes were all black. If he continued to torture him, he might not have to talk about Qiu Wei.
Moreover, last night they broke into the real and illusory world deep in Lanyin, and it was still unclear whether they could get out.
After thinking about it, Gong Mengbi said: "Brother Yan, please send them down the mountain at dawn. If they can get down, it would be good to find a village to stay overnight. If they can't get down, just wait until I come to help you at night."
Ning Caichen was overjoyed, looked at Gong Mengbi and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Mingfu!"
The sound was louder, and it immediately woke up Ma Junji, who was sleeping like a dead pig on the bed. Ma Junji turned over and got up, saw Gong Mengbi in the room, and said in surprise: "Brother Mingfu, you Why are you here?"
Looking at Yan Chixia holding the sword box, looking at the mind-numbing smoke in the room, and looking at Ning Caichen's exhausted face, he understood, "Did another monster come last night? "
Ning Caichen shook his head and said, "Foolish people are blessed with foolishness."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "I'm leaving first. Brother Ning and Brother Ma, take care of yourself. Brother Yan, see you tonight."
The incense balls in the brazier burned out, and Gong Mengbi's figure disappeared like blue smoke.
The sky is already bright, and the fragrance of orchids is accompanied by morning dew, which is very unique.
Ning Caichen and Ma Junji explained the thrilling experience last night, and Ma Junji was frightened and said, "I almost stayed in the depths of Lanyin and became a monk?"
"Yes." Ning Caichen said tiredly: "Hurry up and pack your belongings. Let's go down the mountain first."
Yan Chixia escorted them down the mountain. Ma Junji held Ning Caichen's salute in his arms, so that Ning Caichen could relax, and the three of them went straight down the mountain.
When they reached the foot of the mountain and reached the official road, Yan Chixia said, "Brother Ma, Brother Ning, there should be no danger if you walk along the official road."
The journey down the mountain was uneventful, with no twists and turns. Ning Caichen's heavy heart became clearer, and he cupped his hands and said, "See you someday."
Yan Chixia was about to turn back to Lanyin Temple, but before she had gone far, she heard footsteps coming up behind her.
When he looked back, he saw Ning Caichen and Ma Junji, their eyes dull, following him step by step, walking back into the mountains as if they were sleepwalking.
Yan Chixia's face changed and she became angry. How could he not know that this was the work of monsters in the mountains? I'm afraid that they had taken away their breath and even their souls in the depths of Lanyin last night, which made them unable to leave Lanyin Temple. Far.
Ning Caichen and Ma Junji soon overtook Yan Chixia, who followed them and saw them returning to Lanyin Temple.
Stepping through the gate of Lanyin Temple, the two of them suddenly woke up from their sleepwalking state. When Ma Junji saw Yan Chixia, he immediately asked: "Brother Yan, why are you here again..."
Before he finished speaking, Ma Junji had already discovered that they were back at Lanyin Temple. His face suddenly turned pale, and he looked at Ning Caichen with a look of fear.
"No wonder Brother Mingfu said we might not be able to go down the mountain, so why did we come back again?" Ma Junji forced a smile.
Yan Chixia said sternly: "Maybe it's because of his luck that he was captured. Don't worry. I'm here and Brother Gong will come in the evening. Everything will be fine."
Ma Junji and Ning Caichen were barely comforted.
But no matter what happened or not, Ning Caichen had to take a nap first. He was extremely self-disciplined and restrained when he was studying, but he had been working hard for two days and had not slept well for two nights. He was worried about his life and the approaching autumn, and he was already on the verge of collapse.
Ma Junji saw that his face was pale and he was starting to sweat, so he advised him to go to bed.
Ning Caichen couldn't hold on even if he wanted to, so he returned to the monk's house and fell asleep.
There was no interruption this time, and poor Ning Caichen was finally able to have a good sleep.
Yan Chixia and Ma Junji searched everywhere in Lanyin Temple, hoping to find some clues.
According to Yan Chixia's calculations, the realm of reality and illusion formed by the depths of the orchid shade must have some basis and cannot arise out of thin air. The two searched the temple for anything that could be related to the depths of the orchid shade.
After searching all the monks' residences and palaces, they couldn't find anything related to this, so the two set their sights on the pagoda next to the temple.
"Vimalakirti Pagoda." Ma Junji read the name of the tower, looked at each other with Yan Chixia, and then pried open the door of the tower.
This tower has eight sides and seven floors, paved with blue bricks. It looks very solemn and solemn from the outside, and it becomes even more solemn when you go inside.
Each floor is enshrined with a gilded Buddha statue. Up to the top of the tower, nothing related to the depths of the orchid shade appears.
The two of them came out of the tower, feeling extremely worried.
Returning to the monk's house, they found that there were new residents in the temple. It was a scholar and a scholar. Ma Junji quickly went up to dissuade him. Yan Chixia was about to stop him, but she didn't.
Ma Junji asked the scholar's name, and the man said that he was a scholar from Lanxi, and he also stayed here because of Qiu Wei.
Ma Junji hesitated for a moment and told him about the uncleanness of the temple, hoping that he could find another place.
The scholar's face immediately changed, and he said coldly: "You are a scholar, how can you talk about ghosts and gods? Besides, this temple enshrines a Buddha statue. If you talk about ghosts and gods, isn't it disrespectful to the Buddha?"
This look clearly regarded Ma Junji as an unscrupulous competitor.
Autumn is approaching, and these scholars are indeed in a competitive relationship.
Ma Junji opened his mouth, but felt a little unable to argue, so he could only retreat under their unwelcome looks.
When she returned to Yan Chixia, Yan Chixia looked at him with helpless eyes, obviously she had expected this.
Ma Junji could only watch the scholar settle in the east chamber. Soon, the sky gradually became dark.
