After everyone had left, Nie Xiaoqian lowered her head and looked at her red wedding dress. The more she thought about it, the more miserable she felt. She could not help but fly out of the room and land in a small pavilion by the lake not far away. She placed a seven-stringed zither on the ground and plucked the strings with her slender fingers. Drops of tears rolled down the strings, but in an instant, they were shattered by the vibrating strings…
He was originally from a family of officials, but he was killed by bandits outside. He died in a foreign land and became a lonely ghost. His ashes were controlled by the tree spirit. He had no choice but to seduce a man for her and absorb his Yang energy. He did not expect that he would be sent to the Black Mountain Lord as a concubine in the end. It was said that the Witch of the Black Mountain had hundreds of wives…
When he was alive, he was harmed by bandits. Even after he died, he became a ghost. He had no choice but to do so. Like goods, he was at the mercy of others. Everyone was afraid of ghosts, but they did not know that being a ghost was much worse than being a human. Nie Xiaoqian's expression was bitter as she thought of her own misery. Tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls that had been cut off. The zither music on her fingertips was naturally filled with misery.
He didn't dare to let his grandma know about his misery. Even if he played the zither, he didn't dare to stay at his place. He only dared to hide in this remote pavilion in the middle of the lake. He could vent his self-hatred. After these few days, he still couldn't change the outcome of marrying the Witch of the Black Mountain as a concubine...
The moonlight was bright. Xu Yang lightly tapped his toes and floated through the forest like an immortal. Behind Xu Yang, Yan Chixia was also very fast.
"What a fast speed. And from the looks of it, he's moving with ease.”Following behind Xu Yang, Yan Chixia could be said to have tried his best to catch up. However, he could not catch up with Xu Yang's speed. Looking at his figure floating and his calm expression, Yan Chixia could not help but admire him secretly.
Putting everything else aside, he was already inferior to him in terms of Qinggong alone. He did not know who would be faster or slower when he learned the Flying Sword Immortal Technique.
"Brother Yan, we've been wandering in the forest for four hours, but we still haven't found the whereabouts of that tree demon.”Xu Yang looked helpless.
"That tree demon has cultivated for a thousand years. It can be said that the entire forest has its roots. As for those female ghosts, they were in between reality and illusion. Although I've been guarding Lanruo Temple for so long, I can only stop them when they come out to harm people. However, he did not know where their nest was.”Hearing Xu Yang's words, Yan Chixia said helplessly.
Behind Lanruo Temple was a mass grave where the bones of many female ghosts were buried. However, Yan Chixia did not know where those female ghosts lived. In any case, it was impossible for those female ghosts to live in the mass grave.
"Could it be? Could he only search for it so mindlessly?”Looking at Yan Chixia's expression, Xu Yang sighed helplessly. Although he had some ability, it was only the original body that had learned a few moves. Although Yan Chixia was also powerful, he had only become a monk halfway through and had never studied systematically.
Thinking of this, Xu Yang remembered that in the second Chinese Ghost Story, Zhang Xueyou played the role of Zhiqiu Yiye, a cultivator of Kunlun Mountain who had learned orthodox Taoism.
He had also said that his nose was like a dog's. He could smell ghosts. If it was Knowing Autumn Leaf, perhaps even if his combat strength was inferior to the two of them, his ability to find demons and ghosts would completely surpass the two of them.
Ding ding dong dong…
At this moment, a crisp yet sorrowful zither tune suddenly sounded.
Yan Chixia immediately snorted.""Hmph, those female ghosts must have run out again to harm people! Brother Xu, let's capture that female ghost and force the location of the tree demon's nest!”
Indeed, in Lanruo Temple, who else would play the zither except those female ghosts who harmed people?
"Brother Yan, we've already searched this place. Even if a female ghost wanted to seduce a man, she had to find a place with people, right? Does Brother Yan think that she is trying to seduce us?”
" This..." Yan Chixia was slightly stunned when he heard Xu Yang's words.
This place was indeed desolate. But Yan Chixia continued,""Brother Xu is right, but I think the other party must be a female ghost. We can still get information about the tree demon's nest from her!”
The song at the pavilion in the middle of the lake came to an end. Nie Xiaoqian sighed faintly and stared at the ripples on the surface of the lake. A myriad of thoughts welled up in her heart.
"Miss, why are you so sad? If you tell me, perhaps I can help you resolve it?”Suddenly, a magnetic voice rang in Nie Xiaoqian's ears.
Nie Xiaoqian turned around and saw a man in his early twenties. He was wearing a scholar's robe and was slowly walking over. Her hair was draped over her shoulders, but it didn't make her look messy. Instead, it gave her an unrestrained charm that complemented her refined aura, but it didn't seem out of place.
Nie Xiaoqian was sizing up Xu Yang, and Xu Yang was also sizing her up. Although he knew that it was a female ghost, Xu Yang was still amazed when he saw it.
Her weak figure coupled with her miserable face was really pitiful, making people want to protect her from the depths of their hearts. No wonder the female ghosts here could easily lure men into their trap.
Even though he had experienced the information explosion and had seen all kinds of online beauties, he still felt that they were extremely stunning at first glance. Not to mention that in this era, women rarely walked out of boudoirs and there were not many women.
"Why would someone come to such a remote place?”Looking at Xu Yang, Nie Xiaoqian was slightly stunned. However, she put away her pitiful and miserable expression and replied,"Young master, this Lanruo Temple is not a good place. I think you should leave quickly.”
Xu Yang was a little surprised when he heard this. This female ghost was actually kind-hearted. Could it be that she had just died and had not been contaminated?
"Not a good place? So what? In my opinion, there are not many things in this world that can harm my life. It might be dangerous for others, but it might not be a big deal for me.”Xu Yang walked over.
"Young Master, you might not know this, but Lanruo Temple is not only full of ferocious beasts like wolves, insects, tigers, and leopards, but it is also said to be haunted. Aren't you afraid?”Nie Xiaoqian asked curiously when she saw Xu Yang's confidence.
"Ghost?" Hearing the female ghost's words, Xu Yang stopped in his tracks. What was going on? Was this female ghost not from Lanruo Temple? He actually said that Lanruo Temple was haunted in front of him?
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?" Xu Yang's gaze made Nie Xiaoqian feel strange. She lowered her head to look at her dress and touched her cheeks. There was nothing different.
Seeing this, Xu Yang said straightforwardly," I heard that the ghosts in Lanruo Temple are very fierce. They always like to seduce the men who pass by, so I specially came here tonight to see them." Unexpectedly, the beautiful female ghost saw it, but she was not fierce. She actually advised me to leave quickly. It seems that I have met a kind female ghost.”
