"Scholar, you are awake!" Yan Chixia said to Ning Caichen who woke up.

Ning Caichen looked up at the sun shining in outside the window, rubbed his head, and asked in confusion at Yan Chixia, who was beside him, "Where is this? Why am I here!"

After hearing Ning Caichen's words, Yan Chixia replied, "Of course this is Lanruo Temple, you are brought by me."

"Lanruo Temple! Didn't you say that this place is haunted?" Ning Caichen exclaimed after hearing this and looked around in fear.

Yan Chixia nodded and said, "It is precisely because of the haunted that I brought you. And we will divide the difference between them here tonight."

"Ah...! Us!" Ning Caichen pointed at Yan Chixia and pointed at himself. He really couldn't think of what he had to do here.

Yan Chixia stood up and pushed open the window and explained, "Of course, they wouldn't bother me without you, a scholar with tender skin. So I'll use you as an introduction tonight, and then remove them all."

Ning Caichen listened to Yan Chixia's words and said weakly, "We don't need to do this so well. In fact, it's not easy for them, such ghosts. Why don't we sit down and talk, talk about it at the table and banquet, and then turn swords into jade and silk."

"Transform you, a big-headed ghost! That old demon has been tolerating me for a long time. If I don't take this opportunity to get rid of him, I will be uneasy here." Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen who was retreating and cursed angrily.

Ning Caichen looked at Yan Chixia with a determined look on her face, touched her head, and asked hesitantly, "Big Bearded Man, is that Xiaoqian really a ghost?"

Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen who was a little sad, then waved to him and said, "Since you still have fantasies, come with me." After saying this, Yan Chixia pushed the door and walked out.

"Where are you going, Big Bearded? Are there ghosts here! Big Bearded?" Ning Caichen looked at Yan Chixia's disappearing back and quickly got up from the ground.

"What's going on! My head is so dizzy!" Ning Caichen, who was hurriedly standing up, held the table beside him, and was shaking so hard that he couldn't stand steadily.

Just when Ning Caichen shook his head and wanted to wake up, Yan Chixia, who had originally left, retreated.

"Open your mouth." Yan Chixia returned to the house, holding a green paste-like object in her hand, and approached Ning Caichen's mouth.

"Vomit!" Ning Caichen looked at the unknown green object that was leaning against the tip of his nose, retching, covering his mouth, and shook his head repeatedly.

"What is this? The taste is so smelly!" Ning Caichen looked at the things in Yan Chixia's hand in disgust and turned his head aside.

Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen's appearance, shook her head helplessly, and then explained, "Your body was cold and my heart was a little bit hot yesterday, so I fainted. This is the herb I gave you. If you want to be fine soon, just take it. This is my unique secret recipe, which is very useful."

"Herbs!" Ning Caichen looked at Yan Chixia's hand, which looked like green feces, and said in fear. "This is too smelly! Can I not eat it?"

Yan Chixia slapped the herbs in her hand on Ning Caichen's hand, and then replied with affirmative answer, "I don't want to eat them, right? No problem. Anyway, you are going to lure the tree demon out later. If you want to die in Lanruo Temple tonight, you don't have to eat them!"

"Ah...!" Ning Caichen looked at the herbs in his hand, hesitated for a while, put them into his mouth, and then swallowed them desperately.

"It smells so smelly! It smells even more smelly than stinky tofu!" Ning Caichen covered his mouth with an ugly face, and the expression on his face seemed to have eaten a fly.

Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen's appearance and said unhappily, "Don't cry, my medicine is very expensive, you think anyone can take it!"

Smearing the medicine residue at the corner of his mouth, Ning Caichen kept stroking his stomach. Then he followed Yan Chixia out and asked carefully, "Big Bearded Man, do you think Xiaoqian is really a ghost? And I am sick, where do you want to take me?"

Yan Chixia answered while turning over the horse, "You will be fine after taking my medicine. We are going to get rid of the little ghosts under the tree demon. Those little ghosts hide in their respective urns during the day. As long as we break the urn, we can break the arm of the tree demon so that it can't command these evil ghosts. As for whether Xiaoqian is a ghost, you can see it yourself later."

After hearing this, Ning Caichen felt a sense of ease in his body, and then he turned over to another horse.

"Go..." As the horse whip was waving, the two walked along the rarely visited path.

"Big Beard, why do you have to kill them? Do you have a grudge against that tree spirit?" Ning Caichen looked at Yan Chixia who was constantly changing direction and asked loudly.

"I am righteous, he is evil. Since ancient times, good and evil have not been in harmony. If I see them harming people and don't get rid of them, what's the point of learning this skill?" After hearing this, Yan Chixia tightened the bow and arrow behind her back and replied.

After hearing these simple words, Ning Caichen looked at Yan Chixia with admiration, not only admiring his heart.

"Big Bearded Man, can you beat them?" Ning Caichen whipped the mount under him a few times and chased after him.

"That tree spirit is a thousand-year-old tree, with a similar magic power to me. I don't know if I can eliminate the demons tonight." Yan Chixia, who said this, looked at Ning Caichen who ran to her and asked, "Scholar, we may not be able to come back today. Are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid, and it's not ordinary fear. But I figured it out, so I'm afraid I'll go there too. I can't forget Xiaoqian, so I have to see with my own eyes whether Xiaoqian is a human or a ghost, and whether she was forced by the tree demon... " Ning Caichen said that, slapped his horse's head and ran out quickly in front.

Looking at Ning Caichen who was rushing out, Yan Chixia accelerated and laughed softly, "Hahaha, when you mention Xiaoqian, you are not even afraid of ghosts! You are so infatuated! But someone likes Xiaoqian, I don't think you have any hope."

"Big Beard, we seem to be lost!" Ning Caichen, who had run for a while, looked at the path that had been back and forth in front of him for three or four times, turned around and said to Yan Chixia, without hearing clearly what Yan Chixia was just saying.

"Wow..." Yan Chixia tied the horse rope, then looked at the surrounding environment without blinking. After observing for a while, Yan Chixia smiled at Ning Caichen who came over, "It seems that the old tree spirit is not as strong as we think, otherwise we would not have used the method of changing the direction of the trees to deal with us."

Ning Caichen heard this and frowned and asked, "Change the direction! Who said that this old tree spirit has changed the position of the big tree to mislead us?"

"It's no big deal. See if I break his magic." Yan Chixia said, taking off the big bow behind her, and then hitting a long arrow with Taoist talismans.

With a loud shout, Yan Chixia pulled the bow and arrow all over, and then shot towards the big tree beside her.

"Dong, dong, dong, dong." After four muffled sounds, Yan Chixia, who shot four arrows at the big tree, rode her horse and ran wildly; "I used the talisman arrow to fix the minions of these tree demons. Now the road ahead is open, let's go quickly."

In this way, after the small episode, Yan Chixia and the other two came to the mass grave unimpeded.

Yan Chixia rolled over and dismounted, then walked in the mass grave and said, "You can take a look at it yourself. This is the mass grave. The ashes of those ghosts are here. There should be a tombstone inside, which is called Xiaoqian."

"Xiaoqian, Xiaoqian!" Ning Caichen was looking anxiously in the tombstone, trying to find the answer in his heart.

An hour later, Yan Chixia, who was covered in dust due to the destruction of other urns, found Ning Caichen, who looked dull.

Yan Chixia looked at the seven words written on the tombstone, including the tomb of her beloved daughter Nie Xiaoqian, and asked Ning Caichen, who was kneeling on the ground, "How is it! I know now."

Ning Caichen looked at Yan Chixia with a sigh and asked in a daze; "Xiaoqian's piano sound is so clear, as clear as a small river. How could she be a ghost and how could she harm people?"

Yan Chixia thought for a while and replied, "You have to ask yourself this, but these lonely ghosts all have no place to live, and their lives are very sad."

Ning Caichen nodded and said firmly, "Let's go back to Lanruo Temple. I'm going to meet Xiaoqian tonight and ask her what's wrong." After saying this, Ning Caichen looked at Yan Chixia with a smile on his face and spoke again, "Big Beard, what do you mean by love?"

"Love!" Yan Chixia heard this, thought about it and then said helplessly, "I don't know that people like us are not suitable for love, otherwise they will harm others and themselves."

Ning Caichen stroked Nie Xiaoqian's tombstone and asked in confusion; "Xiaoqian and I only met a few times, but whenever I close my eyes, I will involuntarily remember her when she smiles. Big bearded man, do you think I am love?"

"I don't know." Yan Chixia shook her head simply.

"I will accompany you back to Lanruo Temple. Even if I die, I will look at Xiaoqian again and ask her what she is thinking." After Ning Caichen said that, he left without looking back.

"Oh! Scholar, why are you doing this? Is the word "love really so charming" that people can forget life and death?" Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen's back and could not understand the meaning of the word "love".

After thinking for a while, Yan Chixia, who could not understand it, couldn't help but look at the white cloud above her head and fell into deep thought.

As the two of them moved quickly, Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen rushed back to Lanruo Temple.

After returning to Lanruo Temple, Yan Chixia handed a Diamond Sutra and a bell to Ning Caichen and said, "As soon as you see something is not good, you should shake this bell. As long as the bell rings, I will come to save you, and you can put this Diamond Sutra on your body to protect yourself."

Ning Caichen looked at the Diamond Sutra handed over by Yan Chixia, shook his head, and said with a firm look, "Big Bearded Man, can you give me a weapon? I know Xiaoqian doesn't like my scholarly aura, so I don't want this Diamond Sutra, and I don't want Xiaoqian to see my cowardly look."

Yan Chixia looked at the Diamond Sutra that was pushed back by Ning Caichen and asked a heavy heart, "Scholar, are you sure you don't want it? If you don't know martial arts, you will die at that time if you don't hold this Diamond Sutra."

"Die! What is death? " Ning Caichen looked at the bamboo basket behind him, then smiled and untied it. In Yan Chixia's surprised eyes, she threw the bamboo basket out the window.

After Yan Chixia looked at the bamboo basket that fell to pieces on the second floor, she asked Ning Caichen strangely, "Scholar, what's wrong with you? Do you want your sage books?"

"Haha, people always have a pursuit when they are alive. I used to hope to be the first to be a gold list, but now it is not." Ning Caichen said, taking out a small white flower picked in the mass grave from his arms, and then inserted it on his head.

Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen's appearance and explained while telling Ning Caichen a golden needle to Ning Caichen. "Scholar, this is the magic-breaking golden needle I have cast. It is the nemesis of all demons, but I really hope you will not be used." After saying this, Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen who held the golden needle tightly in her hand and shook her head. "Scholar, don't be stupid, you have known that Xiaoqian for a few days! It's not worth it for you to do this."

Ning Caichen heard the sound and looked at the sunset that was about to fall outside the window, and said with a smile, "You are a Taoist priest who forbidden abstinence. You don't have this feeling like me, so you won't understand what I think now."

Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen deeply because he really couldn't understand what love is and why it could bring such great power to this weak scholar.

"Take care," Yan Chixia sighed, then flew out of the window.

Ning Caichen looked at the departure of Yan Chixia, then looked at the sunset outside the window, and sat motionless on the floor.
