Chapter 302: Demonic traces appear in Lanruo Temple

Nie Xiaoqian, Lanruo Temple.

Wow, it’s the script of A Chinese Ghost Story, right?

But the current situation seems to be different from the plot in his memory.

It turned out that he was not in Jinhua, but in the capital.

Moreover, the heroine Nie Xiaoqian is now his little wife. If I were the corresponding male protagonist, the plot would feel a bit inconsistent.

While listening to Wang Defa's introduction, Ye Ning was thinking about the relationship between it and the content related to A Chinese Ghost Story in his past life memories.

After a while, the two men rode out of the city gate on horseback.

"Xiao Ning, get ready, we need to speed up."

Listening to Wang Defa's words, Ye Ning nodded, moved the whip in his hand closer, and then gently whipped the horse's butt.

"drive!"

With two gentle shouts, the two horses slightly raised their front legs and then went straight into a gallop.

The horses in the government offices in the capital are not ordinary horses. Although they are not as good as the Ferghana horses, they are also first-class quality horses and their speed is still quite good.

The so-called Lanruo Temple was about twenty miles away from the capital. In just about half an hour, the two men and two horses had arrived at the village next to the Lanruo Temple.

Seeing the police coming, several villagers surrounded an elder and walked over quickly.

"Sir, sir, you have to take charge of our village. Just now, two more men disappeared inexplicably. If this continues, our Wujia Village may be extinct!"

Seeing Wang Defa and Ye Ning dismounting, the elder immediately said with a sad face.

Hearing his words, Wang Defa's face became even uglier.

If such a thing could happen in broad daylight, how weird must the Lanruo Temple be.

"You should be the chief of this village. Don't worry, I have a few questions for you."

Having said that, Wang Defa looked around and saw four tall horses in a house not far away. There was a nameplate on the saddle that reflected dazzling light under the sunlight.

This nameplate is exactly the same as the one on the horses ridden by Wang Defa and Ye Ning.

This is the government horse.

Thinking of this, Wang Defa started again: "Did anyone from the government come to check on the situation yesterday?"

Hearing Wang Defa's words, the village chief's expression changed slightly.

He opened his mouth, then nodded with a bitter face.

Ye Ning frowned when seeing this scene.

Looking at the village chief's expression, it seemed that there was something else going on.

But at this moment, Wang Defa suddenly patted Ye Ning on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Ning, don't think too much. This is the emperor's feet. The villagers who can live here are basically clean farmers. The people who dare to plot against us in the government office have not been born yet. The village chief is probably afraid that if we know what happened to Lao Zhu and others yesterday, we will be afraid to investigate the case for them."

At this point, Wang Defa turned around and looked at the village chief: "Don't worry, since it happened near the capital, we will naturally take care of it. You don't have to worry about anything. Just answer whatever we ask you."

When the village chief heard that Wang Defa had exposed his little thoughts, his face turned red, and even his weather-beaten face showed it.

"Your Excellency is right. I have been judging you by my own standards."

Wang Defa raised his eyebrows and looked at the old village chief: "Huh? It seems that you, the village chief, are also a scholar."

Even in the villages under the feet of the emperor, not all village heads are scholars. Most of the village heads who can say "judge a gentleman by the standards of a villain" are those who have read some books.

"Excuse me, sir. I have been working hard for most of my life. I am not a scholar. It's just that when I was young, a scholar came to our village for a short time. He stayed in our village for a while, taught some children including me some literacy skills, and left some books behind."

Is there such an opportunity?

That scholar had a broad mind. After all, in this era, not to mention those scholars with prominent family backgrounds, even some scholars from poor families would not be nice to non-scholars.

Everything is of inferior quality, but reading is of high quality.

This is a sentence that many students learn when they first start their studies.

If it were any other time, Wang Defa might have pulled the village chief aside to have a good chat about that old story.

But now, the whereabouts of the four officials are unknown, and Wang Defa has no time to gossip about these things.

"Let's put this aside for now. What did I say when my colleagues and I went up the mountain yesterday?"

"My Lord, the four masters only told us to take good care of their horses, saying that they would be back before dusk, but they never came back. Last night was a rare peaceful night in the village, but in the early morning, the disappearance incident occurred again.

By the way, in addition to the disappearances, several households in our village seem to have lost a few chickens as well.”

People and chickens disappeared together?
Wang Defa and Ye Ning looked at each other.

Then Wang Defa took the horse's reins from Ye Ning, and then handed them together with his own reins to several young people around the village chief.

"Help the two of you keep an eye on the horses while we head to the mountain to check out the situation."

At this point, Wang Defa paused for a moment before continuing, "Whether we find out the truth or not, we will return to the mountain before dusk. If we don't come back, then the village chief should immediately send someone to lead the six horses we are waiting for to report to the government office in the capital. With these six horses as evidence, I think the adults will definitely take action."

"Thank you, sir. We will wait here for your good news."

Wang Defa waved his hand casually, then took Ye Ning and prepared to go up the mountain.

Judging from the entrance of the village, the height of the mountain should be only about one or two hundred meters. There is only a small path from the village entrance to the mountain, and the rest of the place is covered with trees. It was for this reason that Wang Defa, Ye Ning and his horses chose to hike up the mountain in the village.

"Xiao Ning, are you scared? If you are really afraid, you can wait for me at the foot of the mountain. After all, you are not our real servant, so it is not your fault if you don't go up. If you can't wait for me, you can bring the horses back tomorrow to report to the adults."

Looking at the mountain road, Wang Defa suddenly asked.

Ye Ning didn't say anything, just shook his head. He was not afraid.

Ye Ning looked up at the not-very-tall hill.

Through the shadows of the trees, a small temple can be vaguely seen halfway up the mountain.

Obviously, that is the Lanruo Temple. Looking up from the bottom of the mountain, there seems to be a special aura covering the hill.

But when Ye Ning looked closely, it seemed to have disappeared again. If Ye Ning had not been very sure that he had indeed sensed it at the beginning, he would almost have thought it was an illusion.

But whether it was star power, Taoist power or Buddha power, they all reacted to that breath.

Obviously, this must not be an illusion.

Although it was a bit strange, Ye Ning was not particularly worried.

All I can say is that people with great skills are bold.

Ye Ning discovered that his talent in this world was even more exaggerated than on Blue Star, and his cultivation speed was extremely exaggerated.

Not only that, even the speed of progress of Taoism is extraordinary.

Ye Ning has already learned all the talismans recorded in the "Talismans", and he can easily perform the Void Talisman for each one.

He also carried some talismans on his body, which were drawn on top-quality yellow paper, top-quality cinnabar ink and a mixture of his own blood.

In addition to this, there is also the peach wood sword at the beginning, the robes, the small jade gourd and the golden bell.

At first, Ye Ning didn't know that the peach wood sword, the robe, the jade gourd, and the golden bell were all magic weapons. When Ye Ning really made them recognize their master, they melted into Ye Ning's body. As long as Ye Ning needed, he could swap out these four magic weapons at any time.

This is not the strongest one. When Ye Ning tried to learn "Inviting the Gods", he found what was truly suitable for him.

It was only the first time that Ye Ning used the summoning technique, and he directly summoned a heavenly soldier.

That's right!

Heavenly soldiers!

Even if what was summoned was just a clone of the heavenly soldier, the clone's strength was only one thousandth of the main body.

But they are also heavenly soldiers!
Those are soldiers from heaven. Even the worst soldier is ranked among the immortals, and his strength is at the level of human immortals.

According to the card master's algorithm, it is roughly equivalent to a card master at the Saint level.

The strength of one thousandth of the heavenly soldier can basically be regarded as a card master at the Venerable level!

This is Ye Ning’s first time to pray to the gods.

As he became more and more proficient, both the quantity and quality of the gods he summoned improved by leaps and bounds.

At this moment, Ye Ning's call to gods can even directly invite the incarnation of his own ancestor, that is, the four heavenly masters of heaven!

They have positions that allow them to face the Jade Emperor and the Great Heavenly Venerable, and their strength is unfathomable.

Even if the summoned clones only have one thousandth of their strength, it is still far more powerful than a Saint-level card master.

In other words, even the clone is above a saint.

To be honest, it’s not that Ye Ning wants to be proud, but his talent does not allow him to be low-key.

Based on his current progress, Ye Ning even felt that in a few years, he might be able to directly invite the incarnation of the Great Celestial Lord.

How strong will it be by then?

So Ye Ning really had no feelings for this small Lanruo Temple.

There is no fear or worry at all.

Now Ye Ning’s strength is not even worse than when he was on Blue Star.

Seeing that Ye Ning did not seem to be afraid, Wang Defa smiled with relief, then patted Ye Ning on the shoulder and walked towards the mountain.

The mountain road was winding. Although the mountain was not high, it took the two of them a long time to walk around on the mountain path before they arrived in front of Lanruo Temple.

"Except for some bad auras along the way, everything else is fine. It seems that the problem comes from this abandoned temple."

Wang Defa and Ye Ning stood in front of the gate of Lanruo Temple.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, and both of them felt a hint of coolness blowing through their bodies.

There seemed to be a strange sound in my ears.

"call!"

Exhaling deeply, Wang Defa gently pulled out the machete from his waist, then took a deep breath and lightly slid his middle finger across the blade.

Ye Ning only saw a flash of bloody light on the blade of the machete, and then an astonishing aura was left on the blade.

It was an aura between righteousness and evil, and it felt quite powerful.

If this knife hits, some low-level monsters and demons will probably die with just one touch.

It is obvious that Uncle Wang Defa is a martial artist and is quite powerful.

But this is also normal. This world is not an ordinary world. People working in the government offices do have some abilities.

"Xiao Ning, come closer to me, this place is not ordinary, we are ready to go in."

Listening to Wang Defa's words, Ye Ning nodded. At the same time, his mind moved, and the dark magic power directly covered the official uniform on his body. The peach wood sword appeared directly beside him, floating beside Ye Ning with a faint golden light: "Uncle Wang, it's not certain who will protect whom in a while!"

Ye Ning has never been a low-key person, especially at this moment. In Ye Ning's eyes, the Lanruo Temple in front of him was surrounded by a large amount of black air, which seemed to be something similar to an array or a barrier.

This black gas represents all negative energy, and the amount is quite large. Although there is no threat for the time being, Ye Ning still pays full attention.

After seeing the peach wood sword beside Ye Ning, Wang Defa's pupils shook, and then he looked at Ye Ning in surprise.

This ability seems familiar!
That was what happened when Ye Ning's father rescued him.

He was wearing a black Taoist robe, with a peach wood sword floating beside him and a small gourd on his waist.

At that time, whenever Ye's father waved his hand, a golden light would appear. The peach wood sword was almost invincible against demons and monsters. Almost no demons and monsters could last two rounds in his hands.

"Xiao Ning you..."

"Hehe, Uncle Wang, I'm not going to hide it from you. My talent is quite impressive. Although it may not have reached my father's level, I should be about the same as his fifth, sixth, or seventh level."

Regarding this, Ye Ning was just talking nonsense.

It's not that he wants to brag about himself, but he actually doesn't know the strength of his dead father before his death. He said this just to make Wang Defa feel more at ease.

Although Nie Xiaoqian, the female ghost wife, is at home, she is just a ghost after all. She doesn't know the strength of Ye Ning's father, and his father has never told him about it.

However, in Nie Xiaoqian's perception, Ye Ning is still a long way from being as good as his dead father.

Sure enough, after hearing Ye Ning say that his strength was five, six, or seven times that of his father, he instantly felt relieved.

"Okay, okay, in that case, then we uncle and nephew will go in and see what mysteries this abandoned temple has."

So, the two of them did not stop and stepped directly into the Lanruo Temple covered by black air.

As soon as they stepped in, eerie energy flew towards them.

At the same time, a series of enchanting or violent voices surrounded my ears, as if there was something special whispering there.

At the same time, not far from them, four men in police uniforms fell in the yard, all of them motionless.

Looking at the four people on the ground, Wang Defa's pupils shrank, and then he immediately came to one of them: "Old Zhu!"

He yelled and then gently placed his hand on the other's neck.

Two seconds later, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh, still alive!"

After saying this, Ye Ning also came to the other person and looked at the man's chest which was slightly rising and falling. He looked at Ye Ning and nodded: "Uncle Wang, this person is still alive too."

The two checked all four people and found that they were all still alive.

Afterwards, the two decided to try to wake up the four people first.

Just when they were about to pull the four people together, a white shadow suddenly flashed past Ye Ning's eyes.

"Sniff sniff!"

Ye Ning sniffed twice and frowned slightly.

"There is evil spirit!"
