If Ning Caichen could continue running forward, he might be able to escape to Lanruo Temple. With the instinct of a beast, he would be able to sense the danger of Lanruo Temple, and the wolves would retreat. But Ning Caichen's physical strength was really poor, and his luck was not very good. After resting for a while, the lantern in his hand gradually dimmed, and Ning Caichen's expression changed, "You must not extinguish it!"
Ning Caichen's prayers had no effect, and the lantern in his hand eventually went out. Three pairs of green wolf eyes revealed ferocious gazes, and they bared their teeth and rushed towards Ning Caichen.
"Ah—" Just when Ning Caichen thought he was about to die, a ray of green light flashed across, and the three wild wolves that had jumped into the air turned into ice sculptures and fell down.
Ning Caichen stared at the scene in front of him with his eyes wide open.
I saw a young girl, holding a long sword in her hand, standing on the tree, under the bright moonlight, her skin was as frosty as snow, and she was wearing a white dress that was better than snow, standing in the wind, her clothes slowly fluttering. Although the gauze covered the girl's face, Ning Caichen vaguely seemed to see an alluring face that was both beautiful and incomparable. The beautiful and bright moonlight seemed to have lost its color at this moment.
Touching her lotus feet lightly, the girl flew down from the tree, her elegant and ethereal temperament was like a fairy who is not close to the fireworks of the world. A pair of eyes as clear as water, as cold as moonlight, made Ning Caichen feel suffocated, but he couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
When the girl approached, Ning Caichen couldn't help but feel a little cold, which was caused by the cold air seeping out of the Qingshuang Sword. Ning Caichen shuddered, came to his senses, hurriedly lowered his head, and said in a panic, "Thank you, girl, for saving my life."
"No need!" Ji Yuxuan said in a clear voice as sweet as an oriole, but with a hint of coldness.
At this time, Ji Shaoyu walked out of the darkness, and the scarlet Sharingan was clearly visible. Ning Caichen thought he saw a monster, and was so frightened that he screamed, "Monster-" and subconsciously stopped Ji Yuxuan behind him.
The air suddenly became stagnant. Ning Caichen noticed something was wrong and found that both Ji Shaoyu and Ji Yuxuan were looking at him. Ning Caichen was still dripping with sweat at this time, but he also knew that the situation did not seem to be what he thought, so he couldn't help but step aside in embarrassment and nervousness.
Ji Yuxuan walked slowly to Ji Shaoyu's side. Upon seeing this, Ning Caichen subconsciously stretched out his hand and shouted, "Girl..."
Ning Caichen returned to Ning Caichen with Ji Shaoyu. Ning Caichen was a little embarrassed. He wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves and said to Ji Shaoyu and Ji Yuxuan, "Thank you both for saving me. Ning Caichen, I don't know. What do you call them?"
Perhaps because of himself, the original plot has quietly changed. This place is still some distance away from Lanruo Temple. If he and Xuan'er hadn't followed him, Ning Caichen might have been killed by wolves before he reached Lanruo Temple. .
"Ji Shaoyu, this is my sister-in-law, Ji Yuxuan." Ji Shaoyu didn't mean to look down on secular people. Two months ago, he was an ordinary young man. He never thought that he would be where he is today. Although they are not from the same world, Ji Shaoyu might as well tell Ning Caichen the names of his two brothers and sisters.
"Brother Ji, Miss Ji, I wonder why you two came to this wilderness in the middle of the night?" Ning Caichen couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of relief in his heart when he heard that Ji Shaoyu and Ji Yuxuan were siblings. Ji Shaoyu and Ji Yuxuan saluted. Looking around, he felt a biting wind, which was quite scary, so he asked the two of them.
"If I said that I came to Lanruo Temple to see ghosts, would you believe it?" Ji Shaoyu said.
Ning Caichen was just as Ji Shaoyu thought, stubborn and didn't believe there were any monsters in the world. Although Ji Shaoyu was shocked at first, after coming back to his senses, he still felt that Ji Shaoyu was a human being, and there were always some people in the world who were born different from ordinary people, rather than monsters.
"Brother Ji, stop joking. Others say there is a ghost in Lanruo Temple. Why do you say the same thing?" Ji Shaoyu looks like he is one or two years younger than himself, and he has such a charming sister. Although this girl Ji It seems that martial arts is very powerful, but Ning Caichen still doesn't believe that there is a ghost in Lanruo Temple, and only thinks that Ji Shaoyu is joking.
"If you don't believe it, forget it. If you don't mind, just come with us. Anyway, there is no other place to spend the night except Lanruo Temple." Ji Shaoyu knew that he would not believe it, so he shook his head and said without caring.
"So, thank you Brother Ji." Ning Caichen was overjoyed when he heard this and said to Ji Shaoyu.
Ji Yuxuan glanced at Ning Caichen with clear watery eyes. He was a pretty good man. I hope he survived this disaster unharmed. Just now, Ning Caichen mistook Ji Shaoyu for a monster and was scared to death, but still stood in front of her. Ji Yuxuan had a pretty good impression of Ning Caichen.
Although Ning Caichen is pretty in appearance, his temperament is average, simple yet silly, dull yet elegant, and his character is also a bit timid. Ji Yuxuan was right in front of her, but she didn't dare to look at her, for fear that if she took one more look, she would feel ashamed.
Ji Yuxuan followed Ji Shaoyu. Although Ning Caichen wanted to stay with Ji Yuxuan, considering the differences between men and women, he still stood on the other side of Ji Shaoyu. I don't know whether it was because he was afraid of the dark woods around, or because Ning Caichen liked to talk to people. He kept talking along the way. He basically said three sentences, Ji Shaoyu only said one, and Ji Yuxuan simply remained silent. Words are like gold.
However, Ji Yuxuan also knew that Ning Caichen was a scholar from a neighboring county. His parents had died and his family was living in poverty. He studied hard for ten years while working in Jibaozhai to earn some money to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones. This time I came to Guobei County to collect accounts. Unfortunately, there was heavy rain on the way. The account books were soaked and stained with ink. The innkeeper refused to admit his debt, so Ning Caichen had no choice but to spend the night in an abandoned ancient temple outside the city.
Ji Shaoyu knew that Ning Caichen did not believe in demons and monsters in the world, so he told him that his brother and sister were from a martial arts sect from Tianyundian in Nanzhan Buzhou. They came to Lanruo Temple only to hear that there were ghosts here, and they were curious and came to see it.
After about a cup of tea, Ji Shaoyu, Ji Yuxuan, and Ning Caichen finally arrived at an abandoned ancient temple.
A stone tablet stands in front of the ancient temple, with three seal characters "Lanruo Temple" on it. Further inside are the stone statues of the four Vajras. They were originally supposed to be solemn, unruffled and self-powerful Buddhist Dharma Protector Vajras. At this time, they were covered with spider threads. , which is full of mottled traces of time, and looks a bit eerie. The main hall and pagoda of Lanruo Temple are very magnificent, but the ground is covered with basil that is taller than a person. It has obviously been abandoned for a long time and there is no human habitation here.
