Chapter 765 A Chinese Ghost Story [1 more]
After his mind was settled, Fang Xiaoyu quickly checked out of the inn and headed straight for the city gate.
From a distance, the city gate has been closed. In this era, the city gate will be closed on time when sunset and open when sunrise, in order to guard against evil people.
Especially with the current turmoil, no one can guarantee whether there will be bandits and bandits entering the city at night, so the gates of Guobei County were closed much earlier than usual.
Looking at the closed city gate here, if it is an ordinary person, I can only sigh to the disciple. After all, once the city gate is opened, if there is no warrant, it is impossible to open the city gate.
No one dares to ignore the safety of the people in the city just because of one person. It seems that just opens a city gate, but in fact it will not affect anything. It would be fine if there is no accident, but if something happens, no one can bear this responsibility.
Fang Xiaoyu walked closer to the city gate, looked at the soldiers guarding the city gate hole, shook his head slightly, and his figure shook, and Fang Xiaoyu had already appeared on the city wall.
A inspector and soldier on the city wall only felt a shadow shaking in front of him, and saw a black shadow jumping down from the city wall and disappearing from the house.
With a sudden shock, the officer and soldier opened their eyes wide and even rubbed their eyes, as if they wanted to see clearly the scene under the city wall. However, there was a dark area in the distance, and there were no figures.
"It's not a ghost."
Thinking of this, the officers and soldiers were so scared that they shivered. If Fang Xiaoyu knew that he was being treated as a ghost, she would not know what would be the reaction.
After jumping off the city wall, Fang Xiaoyu immediately rushed to the direction where Lanruo Temple was.
Fang Xiaoyu had already asked about the direction of Lanruo Temple. With Fang Xiaoyu's footsteps, he could reach Lanruo Temple in just one cup of tea.
The night wind blew, and Fang Xiaoyu was warding on the wind with emptiness, walking in the air like an immortal. The scene around him quickly retreated, which shows how fast Fang Xiaoyu was traveling at this time.
In Lanruo Temple, candles are pounding, adding a bit of desolate and sad atmosphere.
In the Zen room, Sun's mother carefully served Nie Xiaoqian.
Nie Xiaoqian had woken up at this moment, but under the lights, Nie Xiaoqian's face was extremely pale, like gold paper, and looked quite scary.
A mouthful of blood was spurted out, and Nie Xiaoqian seemed to have lost half of her life. Her soft and weak look was very worried when Sun Ma saw it.
Nie Xiaoqian said to Sun's mother: "Mom Sun, where has my father been?"
Nie Yong was by the bed just now. Nie Xiaoqian said a few words to Nie Yong and fainted again. Now that he woke up, he couldn't see Nie Yong, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
They have been favored by Nie Yong since childhood. Nie Xiaoqian and Nie Yong really depend on each other. Nie Xiaoqian is Nie Yong's treasure in his palm. Otherwise, they would not have been delayed until Nie Xiaoqian was eighteen years old. In addition, they had to go to Beijing to serve in Beijing, so there was no way, so they sent Nie Xiaoqian to the Fang family to get married.
If possible, Nie Yong will definitely delay it.
Nie Xiaoqian is also very attached to Nie Yong. After all, Nie Yong is her closest relative and her only support in the world.
Sun's mother said, "Miss, don't worry. There was something going on outside just now. The master has already checked with the coachman. Maybe Uncle Chen has heard from him to hire the doctor for the lady, so he has come back."
Nie Xiaoqian let out a breath and said, "Is Grandpa Chen back?"
At this time, it was almost half a cup of tea before Nie Yong went out. Sun's mother couldn't help but stand up and said, "Miss, lie down and rest. I'll go outside the door to take a look. Master and the others should be back."
Suddenly, a cold wind blew past the window, blowing into the meditation room, making the open windows clang together. The quiet night seemed extremely harsh and only scared people.
The cold wind blew into the Zen room. Nie Xiaoqian, who was lying on the bed, subconsciously shivered and said, "Mom Sun, what's wrong?"
The lights were beating lightly and darkly. Sun's mother could only hear a wail of howling sound from outside. Looking at the window that was banging with bangs by the wind, she quickly comforted Nie Xiaoqian and said, "Don't worry, Miss, it should be a wind outside. I'll close the window so that you won't be cold again, Miss."
While speaking, Sun's mother stood up and walked towards the window that was open and closed, frowned slightly and said, "This ghost weather is really good. Why did the wind suddenly blow? Don't rain later."
Ma Sun muttered, walked to the window, and reached out to grab the window that was blown open by the strong wind.
Suddenly, a ferocious face appeared in front of Sun Ma. It was a bloody head, and a face was almost invisible. There were even countless maggots squirming on it. The hanging hair covered half of the face.
"ah!"
Almost the moment when Sun Ma saw it, her eyes rolled up and she was scared to faint. However, the ghost outside the window pulled Sun Mama out the window and soon there was no movement.
Nie Xiaoqian, who was lying on the bed, suddenly heard Sun's mother screaming, and she couldn't help but look at the window with difficulty.
But the window was wide open and there was no sign of Sun Ma. Seeing this, Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help but feel anxious and panted and tried to get up. Because of the intense exercise, Nie Xiaoqian coughed and almost fainted.
After finally calming down his breath, Nie Xiaoqian shouted at the window: "Mom Sun, what's wrong with you, Mama Sun?"
However, no matter how Nie Xiaoqian shouted, there was no movement outside.
After shouting for a few times, Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help but look anxious. She was just a girl raised in the boudoir. She had never experienced such a thing. Sun's mother was not here, her father was not here, and even Uncle Chen, who liked him the most, was not here.
"Dad, Grandpa Chen, where are you? Xiaoqian is alone..."
With a creaking sound, a figure walked in from the door. It was a beautiful woman. The woman was dressed in a shiny way. She was licking the blood on her hands and walked into the Zen room step by step.
The candlelight beat violently. If someone noticed it, he would find that the woman had no shadow on the ground under the reflection of the candlelight.
Nie Xiaoqian suddenly heard the movement and subconsciously thought that Nie Yong and others had returned. She showed a hint of joy on her face and said, "Dad..."
But Nie Xiaoqian turned her head and found that it was a strange woman who came in, not Nie Yong. She said vigilantly: "Sister, who are you... who are you?"
"Hey, I didn't expect this to be a pretty and cute person, but it's a pity!"
Nie Xiaoqian looked at the charming woman in confusion and said, "Sister, have you ever seen your father and the others?"
The charming woman grinned and said, "Did you talk about those people just now? An old servant, a scholar, and two coachmen. Well, by the way, there is also a doctor."
Nie Xiaoqian showed joy when she heard this, but because she was too excited, she breathed violently, and one hand held her heart tightly, showing pain on her face. It took a while to recover, but the charming woman had already arrived.
A pair of cold hands gently stroked Nie Xiaoqian's pretty face. Nie Xiaoqian was stimulated by the cold hands and woke up. She looked up at the charming woman and said, "Sister, do you know your father and others..."
The charming woman licked her scarlet lips and smiled grimly at Nie Xiaoqian, "Diet, we have eaten all the people you mentioned, giggle..."
"What?"
Nie Xiaoqian was stunned when she heard this, and she was stunned. She looked at the hideous and charming woman in front of her in disbelief.
The charming woman chuckled and said, "You don't seem to believe it. Maybe, look at what this is?"
While speaking, the charming woman grabbed a head from behind. Nie Xiaoqian could see clearly. Isn’t that Sun Ma who just closed the window and disappeared?
If I didn't believe the charming woman just now, then when I saw Sun Ma's head dying with her eyes open, Nie Xiaoqian could not bear such a blow. Suddenly, a mouthful of scarlet blood gushed out, and then my heart was curled up. I pressed my chest tightly with one hand and fell from the bed.
The slim figure rolled under the bed, and a dragon-shaped jade pendant only half of it jumped out of the collar and exposed it outside. The body twitched a few times, and it actually disappeared.
"Hey, I'm just dead."
The charming woman didn't expect that before she could do anything, Nie Xiaoqian was dead, but the charming woman giggled and said, "If you die, just die. Anyway, all grandma needs is a ghost."
While speaking, the charming woman reached out and grabbed Nie Xiaoqian's body, and suddenly a phantom flew out of Nie Xiaoqian's body and was firmly grasped by the charming woman.
The charming woman grabbed Nie Xiaoqian's confused soul and flew out of the Zen room and headed straight to the depths of the dense forest.
But Fang Xiaoyu ran all the way and soon arrived near Lanruo Temple. In the night, he looked at the dense forest in front of him from afar. A strong demonic aura came to make Fang Xiaoyu clearly realize that moving forward would have entered the territory of the tree demon grandma.
At present, the tree demon grandma is already entrenched near Lanruo Temple. Although her foundation is not as thick as Ning Caichen arrived later, she has also placed a radius of more than ten miles into control.
If ordinary people break in randomly without knowing the foundation, it will be difficult to walk out of the dense forest alive, and will eventually become the nutrient for the tree demon grandma.
Fang Xiaoyu slowly walked into the woods. If he wanted to, the tree demon grandma would not be his opponent at all. If he didn't go to trouble the tree demon grandma, it would be his kindness to the tree demon grandma. As for the tree demon grandma who came to trouble Fang Xiaoyu, that would be a way out.
Following the road in the forest, Fang Xiaoyu walked all the way and soon arrived at the place where Uncle Chen, Nie Yong and the others were harmed by ghosts.
A bloody smell came, and Fang Xiaoyu noticed the bloody smell ahead from afar and frowned.
Although he was mentally prepared, he still sighed a little. It was obvious that he was one step late. The doctor before was probably in danger now.
It can even be said that those who stayed overnight in Lanruo Temple and sent people to Guobei County to invite doctors may have been poisoned by the tree demon grandma.
After taking a few steps, Fang Xiaoyu appeared in front of the carriage and happened to see several corpses lying on the ground.
Those corpses were extremely dead. If ordinary people saw them, they would be scared to get a problem.
Fang Xiaoyu glanced at him, sighed softly, but his eyes stopped. He saw a small word coming into his eyes on the carriage beside him.
"Nie"
When Fang Xiaoyu saw the word Nie carved on the carriage, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
As soon as he stepped forward, Fang Xiaoyu rushed to Nie Yong's body. He only looked at Nie Yong's outfit and knew that he was a scholar.
Nie Yong's body was already cold. Fang Xiaoyu searched Nie Yong for a while and soon found a roll of silk.
Carefully opening the silk roll, Fang Xiaoyu's face showed a look of surprise, because he found that the silk was clearly a wedding book. On the wedding book, Fang Xiaoyu's name was clearly visible. When he saw another name written with his name, Fang Xiaoyu only felt ten thousand grass mud horses rushing past his heart.
"Nie Xiaoqian!"
Fang Xiaoyu said this name.
Fang Xiaoyu never thought that his so-called fiancée would be Nie Xiaoqian, which was really unexpected.
Taking a deep breath, Fang Xiaoyu suddenly stood up and looked at Lanruo Temple in front. He looked at the corpses around him, but there were no female corpses at all. In other words, if Nie Xiaoqian is not surprised, it should be in Lanruo Temple in front.
If he remembers correctly, Nie Xiaoqian seemed to have died of illness in Lanruo Temple when his father took office. His body was buried in Lanruo Temple, but was controlled by his grandmother.
Now it seems that it is right. The person who went to Guobei County to hire a doctor was the servant of the Nie family, and the one who needed to see a doctor was Nie Xiaoqian.
After flashing, Fang Xiaoyu's figure disappeared. When he appeared again, he was already in Lanruo Temple.
It was quiet in Lanruo Temple, and a faint and gloomy ghost energy had not completely dissipated. Fang Xiaoyu noticed the faint and ghost energy and couldn't help but change his expression slightly.
His eyes were turned to one of the Zen rooms, because there were still lights flashing in that room. When Fang Xiaoyu appeared at the door of the Zen room, his steps were slightly paused.
The door was open, and the scene in the Zen room could be seen clearly, and a graceful figure was lying on the ground.
Taking a deep breath, Fang Xiaoyu walked into the Zen room and slowly walked to the woman on the ground. Nie Xiaoqian was half lying on her brother, with blood on the corners of her mouth. It was the sudden death of the disease.
Fang Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh as she looked at Nie Xiaoqian's pale face, but she just touched Nie Xiaoqian's body, and there was still warmth.
Fang Xiaoyu quickly picked up Nie Xiaoqian's body and placed it flat on the bed. He reached out to look at Nie Xiaoqian's chest. After touching, Nie Xiaoqian's chest still had warmth, and it shouldn't have been dead for too long.
