"What bad luck. What's with this weather?”
At this moment, a scholar carrying a bookshelf on his back walked over from the other side of the mountain path. He hurried along in a panic, trying to find a place to shelter from the rain.
Unexpectedly, they met Du Ming and his group.
Even though the sky was dark, the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'robes could still be seen clearly.
The scholar was stunned. He turned around and left.”
There was something wrong with this world!
Du Ming's gaze stopped on the scholar.
The two Embroidered Uniform Guards understood and took large strides forward. They directly detained the scholar and brought him to Du Ming.
The scholar was young and looked like he was in his teens. He had been beaten up by society for the sake of his life. He had never seen such a scene before.
"Sir, please spare my life. I was sent by the shopkeeper to collect debts in Guobei County.”
"Who wants your life?" Du Ming sneered and bent over to ask," Ning Caichen?”
"Ah, Milord recognizes me?"
Ning Caichen was very surprised. He had never thought that an Embroidered Uniform Guard would recognize him.
One had to know that when people mentioned the Jinyiwei, it was basically no different from mentioning the arrival of the reapers.
How terrifying!
"I don't know him."
"Ah?"
"We know each other now."
Ning Caichen looked at Du Ming in confusion.
Lu Xiaofeng and Lian Xing didn't understand what Du Ming wanted to do.
Du Ming smiled in his heart. The first mission of Lanruo Temple was obtained without much effort.
"It's dangerous up there. If you want to go to Guobei County, you'd better not take this road.”
"Lord is right."
Ning Caichen nodded his head repeatedly. Whatever Daren said was right.
"Don't worry about the rain. Escort this scholar down the mountain. Don't let anything happen to him on the way.”
Du Ming glanced at the sky that was getting darker and darker. He didn't care if it was raining heavily or not. He wanted to see what he could do if he sent Ning Caichen away in the rain.
This way, the first small task was easily completed, and the lives of the Embroidered Uniform Guards under him were not in danger.
"Yes, sir!"
The Embroidered Uniform Guard's small flag received the order.
Regardless of whether Ning Caichen was willing or not, he and his brothers escorted the screaming Ning Caichen down the mountain.
"I didn't expect Lord Tongzhi to have such a benevolent heart. Lu Xiaofeng is impressed.”
"It's useless for an ordinary person to follow me up the mountain.”
Du Ming continued to study the Lanruo Temple stele.
A moment later, Lian Xing looked in another direction.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards 'small flag ran out from another mountain path with Ning Caichen, running towards them in a panic.
At the same time, a gust of black wind swept past everyone, and a black shadow could be vaguely seen among them.
"My mother…"
The Embroidered Uniform Guards who were swept by the black shadow were shocked.
Lian Xing and Lu Xiaofeng stood by Du Ming's side, secretly on guard.
Du Ming immediately activated his Eye of Truth and saw a devilish woman in the black wind. Her body was surrounded by death aura, resentment, and demonic qi.
As if sensing Du Ming's gaze, the devilish woman smiled seductively at him.
"My lord, come and play ~"
" Gui Mei dares to be impudent?!"
Du Ming pressed down with his right hand, and the Red Cloud Red Lotus appeared in his hand. He thrust his sword out half a foot, and with a flash of cold light, he heard a shrill scream coming from the black wind. The black wind rushed into the forest and disappeared.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards, who were originally frightened, became excited when they saw this scene.
Lu Xiaofeng and Lian Xing recalled the sword light that flashed in Du Ming's hand and pondered.
"Go up the mountain!"
Du Ming glanced around and saw that there were no more ghosts around. He led the Embroidered Uniform Guards over the Boundary Stone and went up the mountain!
A moment later, when the heavy rain was about to fall, they saw the legendary temple under the dim night sky.
"Lanruo Temple!"
As expected!
This was a little different from the Lanruo Temple in A Chinese Ghost Story, but he didn't know which version it was.
It would be best if it was consistent with the initial version.
Du Ming stood at the entrance of Lanruo Temple and thought.
When he was young, Du Ming had heard his grandfather talk about Yan Chixia in the Liao Zhai. At that time, without the stone grid blocking him, the flying sword could directly destroy the thousand-year-old tree demon.
Some of the Brocade Guards lit a torch, and with the help of the light, they could see that the temple was covered with wormwood that was taller than a person. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time.
The temple hall in the middle had not been repaired for a long time, but one could vaguely see the magnificence of Lanruo Temple in its glory days.
On the east and west sides were the rooms of the monks in the temple. The doors were ajar and dark.
"Sir, there's a light over there."
The small flag of the Brocade Guard pointed to a small room in the south wing. A faint light shone through the gap in the door.
In the wilderness, dilapidated temples, especially in places where the black wind had just appeared, there would be people living there at night.
It was hard not to find it strange.
"My lord!"
The Brocade Guards held their sabers and looked warily at the small house in the south wing.
"No need. You guys go clean up the hall and be careful not to destroy the Buddha statue. We'll rest in the hall at night.”
"Yes, my lord!"
"Lord, Lord, what should I do?”
Ning Caichen was still being held up by the Jinyiwei. He was in a panic. Many times, he thought he was going to be killed, but he hadn't been killed yet. This made him very nervous.
"Bring him to the main hall!"
Du Ming ignored Ning Caichen and looked at Lu Xiaofeng and Lian Xing.
"Please come with me to visit this person.”
Lian Xing and Lu Xiaofeng looked at each other.
With their cultivation, they had long sensed that there was only an ordinary weak scholar in the small room in the south wing.
This Du Ming in front of him, the Imperial Secret Service Tongzhi Lord, looked like a proud person. He didn't expect him to say the word 'visit'.
