Chen Nuo opened his eyes just as the old woman from Lanruo Temple arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. The mandrill was standing respectfully at the side, waiting for the monk to finish regulating his breathing.
He opened his eyes, and two streaks of golden flames shot out from them.
"Phew…"
The deep sound of wind and thunder rang out in the pitch-black night.
His breath was like thunder!
This scene caused the mandrill's body to tremble involuntarily, but the expression on its face was much better.
Previously, it had been frightened by Lanruo Temple's reputation and returned in a sorry state. Now that it saw the big monk, it finally realized that it was afraid of the tiny Lanruo Temple!
Who cares what kind of demons and ghosts they were? When they encountered a terrifying monster like the big monk, the one who should be afraid was the other party!
Chen Nuo did not know what the mandrill was thinking. Seeing the unpredictable expression on its face, she asked.
"Why are you so happy? Did you find it?”
The mandrill quickly threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind and replied.
"Lord Zeng, I found it!"
It instantly became overjoyed.
"Lord Zeng is indeed the living Buddha of the human world.”
Chen Nuo frowned slightly. He could tell that ever since the monastic robe was strengthened, the mandrill had become more and more lively. It had even learned how to flatter.
"Stop talking nonsense."
The mandrill keenly realized that Chen Nuo was not really angry. It immediately found a way to survive in the future.
"I'm not spouting nonsense. A person like Lord Zeng is indeed loved by the heavens, which is why I was asked to search for lonely ghosts.”
Chen Nuo was delighted.
Could it be that I really have great luck?
What?
Why did it seem like something was wrong? Shouldn't great luck be a treasure that descended from the heavens?
It seems that all I've encountered are demons and ghosts?!
"When I was wandering in a mountain forest outside Guo Beicheng, I recalled my past memories. That mountain forest was called the Ghost Weeping Forest. Ancient trees grew in the forest. It was said that it was a place where the militarists of the previous dynasty fought and killed.”
Chen Nuo nodded and gestured for the mandrill to continue.
" A bunch of baldies have come in the past few hundred years…" He stuttered and almost bit his tongue. He noticed that the monk's eyes had become dangerous, so he quickly smiled and continued.
"A group of eminent monks came and built a temple in the Ghost Weeping Forest to suppress ghosts and spirits. At first, the incense was flourishing, but at some point, the eminent monks in the temple died one after another. As time passed, it was completely abandoned.”
For some reason, Chen Nuo felt that this story was a little familiar. He heard the mandrill continue.
"In the next hundred years, people often disappeared near the Ghost Weeping Forest. The people around gradually changed their expressions. Only those foreigners who didn't know anything were forbidden to enter. After I gained intelligence, I often heard rumors from the nearby monsters that there was a demon king in the Ghost Weeping Forest.
"It's said that the Demon King has gathered countless souls of the dead. At night, the entire Ghost Weeping Forest will become a ghost's domain. There's also a legend that the entire Ghost Weeping Forest is a great demon!”
Chen Nuo's expression did not change, but he was on high alert.
Based on his experience, a place that could spread such a story was definitely not simple.
Ancient temple…
Demon soul…
Ghost Woods…
He asked curiously.
"What's the name of that temple?"
The mandrill blurted out," Lanruo Temple!”
Lanruo Temple?
A Chinese Ghost Story?
Was this a joke?
Chen Nuo felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her expression was extremely strange.
The mandrill was puzzled.
"Lord Zeng has also heard of it?"
Chen Nuo had not only heard of it before, but he had also heard of it as if he had eaten a fly!
His expression suddenly turned cold. He stood up abruptly and squatted down slightly.
A huge force exploded under his feet, and his body directly exploded into the sky. Before he reached the highest point, his body had already expanded to three meters. His dark golden skin lit up in the night sky, and he shouted.
"Let's go. Lord Zeng wants to see what kind of place this is!”
The mandrill scratched the red fur on the back of its neck. It didn't know why the monk was suddenly angry, but it didn't dare to ask. It could only rush forward obediently and lead the way for the eccentric Lord Zeng.
Chen Nuo didn't know why she had such a big reaction.
Perhaps it was because in his eyes, this was a world that could not be more real. He had always treated this world as his home, and he had always tried his best to integrate into this world, so that his words and actions were consistent with it.
He did not do all this to gain the approval of others. He just did not want to be a foreigner forever, a foreigner who did not fit in with the entire world.
He knew he couldn't go back, and he didn't think about going back. Now that he had adapted to life here, he also felt that this strange and mysterious world was especially wonderful.
However, when he suddenly heard the name Lanruo Temple, which only existed in his memory, he lost control of his emotions for a moment.
If Granny, the Witch of the Black Mountain, Nie Xiaoqian, and Ning Caichen were really in Lanruo Temple, it meant that he was living in an illusory world.
He could not accept this.
He could not accept it either!
The world he wanted was unknown and mysterious, sentimental, and colorful. It was not a farce that was fixed by others!
If that was the case, then he would personally destroy everything!
This wasn't because he was being pretentious or being stubborn. It was because he couldn't accept this outcome. No one could interfere with his fate!!!
