Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Yao Yue looked at her curiously, "What did you remember?"

"The Undead Knight Ning Caichen!" Victoria Song said excitedly, "The protagonist of the story my brother wrote before was named Ning Caichen. There was also a Lanruo Temple in the story, and a bearded swordsman named Yan Chixia.

In the story, Ning Caichen met the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian in Lanruo Temple and was promoted to the Undead Knight!

Yao Yue looked at Song Xuan dimly, "My dear husband, you have never shown me the stories you wrote."

Song Xuan waved his hand and said, "If you want to hear any story in the future, I will tell you slowly."

Victoria Song interrupted, "Brother, the story you wrote has now become a reality. Could it be that you had the ability to predict the future back then?"

Song Xuan laughed. "The stories I wrote were all scenes I dreamt of, and I wrote them down after waking up. Perhaps in my dreams, I saw some things from other worlds by coincidence."

"That's not impossible!"

Song Qian didn't doubt it. After all, in her heart, it was normal for her brother to be the best in the world and have great powers.

Yao Yue was not really concerned about how Song Xuan wrote those stories. She was very interested in what the Undead Knight said, so she asked directly through voice transmission.

"Xiao Qian, the Undead Knight you mentioned, is it the same as the ghost?"

Victoria Song played dumb, "Hey, which one?"

"Stop playing dumb here. You've been listening to me for so many years, don't say you don't understand!"

Song Qian glanced at Song Xuan with a guilty conscience, and found that the old man was looking towards the direction of Lanruo Temple. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, it's just as you thought. You didn't expect that ghosts can do it!

Not only the Undead Knight Ning Caichen, but also the grassroots hero Xu Hanwen in my brother's stories. Oh, and the python I'm talking about is the python of python."

Yao Yue seemed to be lost in thought. "The stories were all written by your brother. Do you think he has any ideas about this?"

Victoria Song rolled her eyes at her in anger, "You're his wife, and you're asking me how I should know. If you have any ideas, you can find a chance to try and find out."

"That's right!" Yao Yue's eyes flashed with a hint of pride. "My husband is so lucky to have married me. I'm probably the only one in this world who has the ability to satisfy his strange quirks."

Victoria Song chuckled twice, "That may not be the case!"

"What are you two doing here, winking at each other?"

Song Xuan withdrew his gaze from Lanruo Temple and saw Yao Yue and Song Qian staring at each other. He immediately asked curiously, "Could it be that they are secretly communicating with each other behind my back?"

"No, no!" Victoria Song said hurriedly, "Brother, the Lanruo Temple plot is a famous scene in your story. Why don't we go and experience it ourselves?"

Song Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay!"

At that moment, he transformed himself into a scholar in white clothes, holding a folding fan in his hand and wearing a brocade Confucian robe.

Seeing this outfit, Yao Yue's eyes lit up and she exclaimed in admiration, "Husband, with this look on your face, even if you take the imperial examination, I wouldn't say anything else, but being a top scholar wouldn't be a piece of cake."

"Of course!" Song Qian agreed, "There are three thousand great ways. If there was a way to be handsome in this world, my brother would have achieved it long ago!"

Song Xuan waved his hands quickly, "Alright, stop it. It's not like I won't take you there. This business flattery ends here!"

It is said that men's psychology and children's psychology belong to the same category. There are not so many twists and turns. Just praise them!

Song Xuan said, that’s true!

Although he said that there was no need for commercial promotion, he felt very happy in his heart.

.....

Lanruo Temple is hidden in a dense forest and surrounded by ancient trees, whose branches and leaves are intertwined to form a green sky.

The courtyard is paved with bluestone and overgrown with weeds. Although it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, it has to be said that the architectural style of the temple is elegant and simple, revealing traces of time.

Behind the temple lies a tranquil bamboo forest. When the wind blows, the leaves rustle, creating a natural melody. A stream flows through the forest, its waters crystal clear, and fish swim freely.

Song Xuan led Yao Yue and Song Qian, and looked at the mottled gate, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

The environment here is actually very good. Apart from being a bit eerie, it can be called a health-preserving treasure land. Unfortunately, it is occupied by monsters and has become a forbidden area that everyone within a radius of 100 miles shudders at.

Song Qian and Yao Yue were dressed like maids. This time, only the three of them came here. Wan Jianyi and others were ordered by Song Xuan to wait at the foot of the mountain.

Several people came to Lanruo Temple specifically for no other reason than to go through the plot and experience what it would be like if the story of A Chinese Ghost Story happened right in front of them.

As soon as I pushed the door open and entered, a faint female voice came from inside the temple, humming and singing, as if she was singing an opera.

"It hurts, it hurts, I push you gently, I hear the sound trembling, I am slightly startled and blushing~"

Song Xuan paused slightly.

This play is a bit unorthodox!

Chapter 616: Life is like a long dream

squeak~

The gate of Lanruo Temple was pushed open, and a charming woman in a spring dress with long sleeves was singing an opera with her back to the gate.

Although this play is somewhat unconventional, I have to say that the voice is really good and it is very pleasant to listen to.

It is said that when Chinese people reach a certain age, their genes for listening to opera will automatically awaken. Calculating the time, Song Xuan in this life is already in his forties, and he is indeed becoming more and more fond of opera.

"My dear, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for so long!"

In the yard, the woman dressed as an actor danced with her long sleeves, stretched out her orchid fingers, slowly turned her head, and looked towards the gate with charming eyes.

However, there was no man at the gate, only the pretty Rakshasa Song Qian with her arms crossed, staring at her with a sneer on her face.

"Well....."

The woman's face froze and she didn't react for a moment.

Song Qian, on the other hand, walked forward with a laugh and said, "Young lady, you sing this song really beautifully, it hurts, it hurts, push my lover gently, the lyrics are also very well written.

This girl is good at medicine. I don't need to feel your pulse to know that you have a fever. Come, I will prescribe you some medicine to relieve the fever. I guarantee that the medicine will cure the disease immediately and the effect will be immediate!"

The actor's face turned red and white, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes as he stared at Song Qian.

Just then, Song Xuan pushed the door open and walked in, clapping his hands and laughing, "It's expected to rain tonight. We plan to stay overnight in Lanruo Temple. Hope we're not disturbing your pleasure, young lady?"

Seeing Song Xuan coming in, the actor's eyes lit up, and the murderous look in his eyes disappeared instantly. With a shy expression on his face, he shyly bowed to Song Xuan.

"My name is Liu Ying. I'm a famous actress in the opera house in the town below the mountain. I came here to practice my voice and don't want to disturb others."

Since ancient times, beautiful women have loved talented men. Song Xuan looks like a talented man. Even though he has turned into a ghost, Liu Ying still likes this handsome man very much.

But she was not in a hurry. This young man seemed to be of extraordinary status. He was accompanied by two maids when he went out. He was most likely the young master of a big family.

With two maids guarding her, she couldn't use many of her tricks.

She will wait until everyone goes to bed at night, then she will come over. At that time, she will make sure to take good care of this young man.

Whether she was a human or a ghost, she had never seen such a handsome man, which made her a little reluctant to let him go. She made up her mind to squeeze out his yang energy bit by bit and enjoy it for a while longer.

Having made up her mind, she ignored Victoria Song and Yao Yue who appeared behind Song Xuan. She pointed to the room in Lanruo Temple and said, "This temple has been abandoned for a long time. You can live in the Zen room here as you like and for as long as you want."

After she finished speaking, she bowed slightly, politely saluted, and then turned and walked towards the meditation room on the side. "I will stay there tonight. If you like to listen to music, I will sing for you at any time."

Victoria Song sneered, "Sing a song, play a tune!"

Liu Ying was not annoyed, and even glanced at Song Qian provocatively. Then he swayed his body and walked quickly to a Zen room in the backyard.

After she left, Song Xuan looked around Lanruo Temple and asked casually, "How do you feel?"

Song Qian curled her lips, "I'm a little disappointed. If Nie Xiaoqian feels the same way, it would be really boring."

Song Xuan said "oh" and looked down the mountain.

They came quite fast, but Ning Caichen and Shu Tong, who were the first to arrive here, were walking on a mountain path, still some distance away from here.

Wild mountains, Confucian robes, scholars, Lanruo Temple...

For a moment, Song Xuan felt as if there were sounds surrounding his ears...

The road of life...

A beautiful dream is like a long road...

......

During the day, Lanruo Temple is just quiet and peaceful, but at night, it becomes a bit eerie and gloomy.

There were many meditation rooms in the temple. When Ning Caichen arrived at Lanruo Temple, it had already started to rain. The master and servant hurriedly chose a meditation room to take shelter from the rain, but they did not meet Song Xuan and the other two.

Outside the Zen room, heavy rain was pouring and the wind was howling, making the night forest even more chilling.

At this moment, Song Xuan and the other two were sitting on the floor in a Zen room with an oil lamp lit, casually eating melon seeds and chatting.

Song Xuan looked out the window and said, "Since ancient times, there has been a saying among the people that mulberry trees should not be planted in front of the house, nor willow trees in the back. Willow trees are more shady and tend to gather negative energy.

This Lanruo Temple is surrounded by a willow forest, and the evil aura there is many times denser than in other places. If too many dead bodies are buried here, corpses will easily resurrect, and it will be easier for evil spirits to breed."

Yao Yue followed his gaze towards the largest willow tree in the distance and said calmly, "Is this the territory of the tree demon?"

Song Xuan nodded, "I just spent one merit point from the identity compass to check the information of this place. This tree demon has strong cultivation, but it is cautious. It usually won't provoke cultivators passing by here.

It just controls the ghosts around it to absorb the Yang energy of ordinary people to support its practice.

Because it has never provoked any powerful people and its sphere of influence is not large, it has lived peacefully until now.

Of course, the more important reason it's able to survive until now is that it has a backer. It's said that a powerful demon at the Fusion Realm is protecting it, so ordinary people don't want to come here and cause trouble."

Looking at the increasingly gloomy and dark sky, Song Xuan whispered: "The cultivation methods of the few of us are special. Unless we expose ourselves, our aura is no different from that of ordinary people.

If nothing unexpected happens, the female ghost will come to our house tonight and look for an opportunity to suck our yang energy."

Victoria Song immediately became excited, "Do you think Nie Xiaoqian will come?"

.....

Lanruo Temple, in a Zen room.

As soon as Liu Ying returned to her room, she couldn't wait to say, "Sisters, a very handsome scholar has arrived this time."

As soon as she opened her mouth, more than ten women suddenly appeared in the room. They were all dressed in cool clothes, revealing large areas of snow-white skin, which was extremely attractive.

"Where is it? Where is it?"

"Sister Xiaoying, you didn't lie, did you?"

"I've been smoking too many rough guys lately. Come on, give me a handsome man so I can breathe and take it easy!"

Liu Ying laughed and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, let me show you carefully!"

As she spoke, a mirror appeared in her hand. She raised her hand and wiped the mirror. In an instant, the panoramic view of Lanruo Temple appeared in the bronze mirror.

Soon, Song Xuan's handsome face with no blind spots appeared in the mirror.

"It's so beautiful!" A woman in purple looked at it in a daze.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Liu Ying said proudly, "I discovered this first. According to the rules, this is my prey, you can't steal it!"

When she said this, the girls immediately became anxious, "Sister, we are all good sisters, you can't eat alone!"

Liu Ying looked at the group of infatuated female ghosts with a smile, but when her eyes swept over a female ghost in white standing silently in a corner, her face suddenly became gloomy.

"Xiao Qian, why don't you react at all? You don't even like such a handsome man?"

Chapter 617: What? You want to regret it when there are too many people around?

The woman called Xiaoqian forced a smile and said, "He is my eldest sister's prey. Xiaoqian doesn't dare to snatch it from you?"

"Don't dare or don't want to?"

A female ghost laughed and said, "She is different from us. She was the daughter of an official family when she was alive. Even after she died and became a ghost, she is still very noble."

"Who are you pretending to be for, pretending to be kind and unwilling to hurt others?"

Nie Xiaoqian remained silent.

Liu Ying frowned and said, "Xiao Qian, we are all poor souls who survived under Grandma's hands. If you don't want to, I won't force you."

“But there are some things I still need to make clear to you.

Although we are ghosts, we are not truly evil ghosts. Although we have harmed many people over the years, ask yourself, how many of those people didn't deserve it?

They are either greedy for money or lustful. Which one of them was we the one who took the initiative to use force on?

Therefore, we are not harming people. We are benefiting the world and clearing away its scum. This is a merit and a great thing!

Don't forget, you haven't contributed any Yang energy to Grandma in the past six months. When Grandma's retreat is over, do you think she will let you off easily?"

When talking about grandma, Nie Xiaoqian's face finally changed and showed fear.
