Chapter 191: Female Ghost Nie Xiaoqian, the Sound of the Piano in the Middle of the Night (Subscription Request)
“Hahaha, I didn’t expect that Daoist Fellow Shi Jian is a fellow Daoist. I have been fighting with this tree monster in Lanruo Temple for half a year.

My cultivation level is not high enough, so I can only barely stop the tree monster from coming down the mountain to harm living beings. I thought it would take a few more years to kill the tree monster.

I never thought I would meet a fellow Taoist today. With your cultivation, a mere tree monster can be destroyed with a snap of a finger. This is cause for celebration!"

Shi Jian smiled faintly when he heard this.

Even though the bearded man Yan Chixia entered the martial arts world because he was disappointed with worldly officialdom, and finally got the chance to start practicing, in fact, deep in his heart he still couldn't let go of these ordinary people.

"Master Yan, thank you for your praise. It is my duty to travel the world and slay demons and monsters.

The Maoshan precepts, the opposition between good and evil, the struggle for a lifetime, I will never forget it. "

Hearing Shi Jian's few words expressing his attitude towards all the demons in the world, Yan Chixia took a deep breath.

Nowadays, the world is in chaos, demons are everywhere, and both Buddhism and Taoism are struggling to protect themselves. There are very few cultivators like Shi Jian who are willing to go against the current.

With a bit of admiration, Yan Chixia gradually became familiar with Shi Jian.

......................................................

In the dense forest outside Lanruo Temple.

Fu Qingfeng's brows were furrowed at this moment. In front of her, the road that originally led to Lanruo Temple was suddenly covered by grass and trees. Even if Fu Qingfeng used her lightness skills, she still felt like she was standing still.

"Ghost Wall..."

Taking a deep breath, Fu Qingfeng realized that he might have encountered something dirty, but even so, Fu Qingfeng did not choose to escape down the mountain. Instead, he lightly tapped his toes and jumped onto the treetops.

After taking a look at the dilapidated temple vaguely visible in front of him, Fu Qingfeng continued walking along the trees.

Just after Fu Qingfeng left the woods, a woman in white slowly emerged from the originally dark forest.

Every frown and movement is exceptionally charming.

If you look closely, you can see that the woman in white looks exactly like Fu Qingfeng!
“There are actually people in the world who are so similar.

You are not one of those stinky men, and I am not a complete evil ghost...

But I have already given you the chance. You could have left Lanruo Temple and not gotten involved in this mess, but you insisted on entering Lanruo Temple.

I hope you can leave alive..."

Nie Xiaoqian's feelings were undoubtedly complicated at this moment. Yes, the dilemma that Fu Qingfeng encountered was caused by Nie Xiaoqian.

From the moment she saw Fu Qingfeng, Nie Xiaoqian saw her former self.

Nie Xiaoqian's life has been ruined because of the existence of Lanruo Temple and the tree demon grandma. In this life or eternity, there is probably no way for her to escape the control of the tree demon grandma, and reincarnation has almost become a luxury.

Therefore, she couldn't bear to see Fu Qingfeng, who was like herself, following in her footsteps.

But Fu Qingfeng was so stubborn that he insisted on going to Lanruo Temple, and Nie Xiaoqian had no way to stop Fu Qingfeng in broad daylight.

If the noise was too loud and was noticed by the tree demon, Fu Qingfeng would be dead for sure!
With a faint sigh, Nie Xiaoqian looked in the direction of Lanruo Temple, her eyes slightly moist.

After leaving the dense forest, Fu Qingfeng soon arrived outside Lanruo Temple.

Looking at the long-abandoned Lanruo Temple and hearing no sound at all, Fu Qingfeng began to suspect that he had been deceived by Shi Jian and that the other party had not come to Lanruo Temple at all.

Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, a slender arm gently touched Fu Qingfeng's soft shoulder.

"Miss Fu, this Lanruo Temple is not the way to the capital. Miss Fu, why are you here today?"

Fu Qingfeng turned around and their eyes met. It was Shi Jian.

When Fu Qingfeng entered the dense forest, Shi Jian's spiritual sense had already discovered him, but Shi Jian didn't know why he chose to enter Lanruo Temple. After all, Lanruo Temple was not a good place!

Shi Jian's words were a little cold, but they sounded so gentle to Fu Qingfeng's ears.

"me……"

Fu Qingfeng really didn't know how to answer this question for a moment. She couldn't just say that she liked you, Shi Jian, and wanted to be with you, right?
For a woman, it is more or less embarrassing to say this.

“I want to see a new world!”

When Fu Qingfeng said this, Shi Jian couldn't help but frown. Fu Qingfeng seemed to think differently from what he thought. Shi Jian became more interested.

“It’s interesting to see a new world.

This vast world is all within the world, a new world that I have never had before."

"demon!"

Fu Qingfeng spoke again, his eyes becoming unusually determined and excited.

How could Shi Jian not see that Fu Qingfeng in front of him was not being sincere?
But after all, the other party was destined to be with me, and he brought me out of the deep pit and took care of me.

Besides, it was Fu Qingfeng's freedom to come to Lanruo Temple. Shi Jian would not stop her, nor would he restrict others' freedom.

"As for the demons, you will see them sooner or later. I need to remind Miss Fu that there are many demons in Lanruo Temple. If you are not careful, you will die. Don't be too curious, or you will die!"

After saying that, Shi Jian shook his head and disappeared on the spot. When Fu Qingfeng came to his senses, he looked around, but could not find Shi Jian.

It was not until Fu Qingfeng pushed open the door of Lanruo Temple that he saw Shi Jianyan Chixia chatting and laughing.

Obviously, Yan Chixia had known about Fu Qingfeng's arrival for a long time. She just glanced at him and looked at Shi Jian with strange eyes, as if asking what the relationship between them was.

Maoshan is a Zhengyi Taoist alliance and there are no restrictions on disciples forming Taoist couples, so Yan Chixia had this guess.

However, Shi Jian's cold and calm gaze made Yan Chixia understand that Shi Jian probably had no such intention towards the woman who came to him.

Shaking his head, Yan Chixia smiled awkwardly.

"Fellow Daoist, I will go and inspect it. I will leave Lanruo Temple to you..."

Yan Chixia left awkwardly, and even glanced at Fu Qingfeng one more time before leaving.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a nice girl. It's a pity that Daoist Fellow Shi Jian comes from a famous sect after all, so I'm afraid it's hard for him to be interested..."

Thinking secretly in his heart, Yan Chixia quickly left Lanruo Temple, found a big tree at random, climbed up, lay on the trunk, and quietly waited for the arrival of night.

And inside the temple.

Shi Jian sat cross-legged quietly, not paying any attention to Fu Qingfeng who was looking around. Shi Jian would not stay in Guobei County for too long, and killing the tree demon was just a piece of cake. As for whether it would attract the Black Mountain Demon in the underworld, Shi Jian really had no fear!
In short, Shi Jian must kill the tree monster tonight. To do this, he needs to cultivate his energy and spirit to its peak state.

Even a lion needs to use all its strength to fight a rabbit. As for the unknown tree demon, even though Shi Jian could feel that the other party's strength was only at the late Jindan level, he knew nothing about other aspects.

The memories of movies and TV shows in the past could not be used as an accurate reference. Shi Jian needed to be absolutely sure of killing with one strike!

Once it leaves behind troubles, like Yan Chixia in the film and television who only severely injures the tree monster and prevents it from harming people for decades or even hundreds of years, then Shi Jian might as well not take action. This is not in line with his style.

And deep in the dense forest west of Lanruo Temple, in the underground world, at this moment the tree demon grandma was listening to the female ghost she commanded report on every move of Lanruo Temple.

"Grandma, what Xiao Zhuo said is true. A young man came to the temple today. He looks strong and healthy. If you can capture this man for me, I will definitely give him a good meal!"

The tree demon grandma was dressed in black, with an androgynous old face and a strange smile.

"Xiao Zhuo, are you serious?"

"It's absolutely true, grandma. By the way, in addition to this young man, a young woman also entered Lanruo Temple later. Who knows, maybe we will have more sisters in the future!"

The young man was naturally Shi Jian, and the young woman was Fu Qingfeng.

At this moment, the female ghost Xiao Zhuo's idea is very simple, that is to take this opportunity to please the tree demon grandma. When you are under the eaves, you have to bow your head. Only when the tree demon grandma is happy can they, the female ghosts, live a good life.

At this moment, when she heard the young woman's words, Nie Xiaoqian, who had been silent, suddenly trembled. She had not expected that even after such a cover-up, Xiao Zhuo could still find the trace of the woman. If she was really controlled by the tree demon and turned into a female ghost, she would probably have the same miserable fate as herself in the future.

Thinking of this, Nie Xiaoqian suddenly stood up.

"Grandma, since there is another living person in Lanruo Temple, this time, Xiaoqian is willing to absorb the man's essence for you to show her filial piety!"

The tree demon grandmother usually loves Nie Xiaoqian a little more. It’s not that she really thinks Nie Xiaoqian is her right-hand man, but the Black Mountain Old Demon, the backer of the underworld, has taken a fancy to Nie Xiaoqian.

Because of this relationship, the tree demon grandma is usually extra lenient towards Nie Xiaoqian.

"Xiao Qian, if that's the case, I'll leave it to you!"

"Don't worry, grandma. Xiaoqian won't let you down."

After saying that, Nie Xiaoqian left the underground and headed towards the surroundings of Lanruo Temple.

Watching helplessly as his own credit was snatched away by Nie Xiaoqian, Xiao Zhuo's expression became extremely gloomy, and he even had the urge to kill Nie Xiaoqian!
At this moment, the tree demon stretched out her hand and pulled suddenly, and a branch suddenly fell on Xiao Zhuo. In an instant, Xiao Zhuo flew backwards, and the deep scars on his arms did not disappear for a long time.

"Bitch, remember, Xiao Qian is a gift from grandma to Master Heishan, and I won't allow you to have any hostility!"

After howling in pain for a few times, the female ghost Xiao Zhuo finally recovered a little and quickly knelt on the ground.

"Grandma, it's Xiao Zhuo who is jealous of his sister. I hope you will forgive me!"

Hearing this, the tree demon grandma's expression eased a little and nodded.

"Xiao Zhuo, your efforts are well known to me. After Xiao Qian is sent to the underworld, the area around Lanruo Temple will be yours to inspect.

In time, if I can break through to the level of Ghost King, it can be considered as following my grandmother's path to success.

you……

Do you understand? "

Even though she knew that the tree demon grandma was just talking big, the female ghost Xiao Zhuo could only kowtow and express her gratitude.

Only by learning to compromise can she live longer. Xiao Zhuo knows what she is doing.

.........................................................

Outside Lanruo Temple, as the sun sets, Shi Jian, who had his eyes slightly closed, slowly opened them and looked at Fu Qingfeng who had fallen asleep beside him, feeling quite helpless.

There is a difference between immortals and mortals. Although Shi Jian has never deliberately avoided himself from falling into love tribulation, the gap between him and Fu Qingfeng is really too big. More importantly, Shi Jian knows very well how dangerous the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio is.

Shi Jian didn't know what level of cultivation the Black Mountain Old Demon had been brought out by the killing of the tree demon grandma. If the Black Mountain Old Demon surpassed the Golden Core stage and reached the Nascent Soul Ghost Emperor, then what would await him would most likely be death.

In this case, how can I let Fu Qingfeng stay by my side?

He shook his head, and when Shi Jian was stunned, a melodious piano sound came slowly from the dense forest. Although the piano sound was not lingering in the air, it was also a masterpiece of a master.

With some guesses in his mind, Shi Jian pushed the door open and walked out. As soon as he walked out, he saw Yan Chixia lying on the tree trunk and gave him a rough smile.

"Fellow Daoist Shi Jian, if my guess is correct, this piano music is the soul-snatching song of the female ghost under the tree demon.

In the past, when the people who went up the mountain heard this song, it would always evoke the most primitive desires in their hearts.

They all went in search of the sound of the zither, but in the end, without exception, they all died at the mouth of the tree demon. "

Shi Jian knew that Yan Chixia was kindly reminding him not to be deceived by demons. After all, in Yan Chixia's eyes, Shi Jian's cultivation was certainly stronger than his own, but Yan Chixia thought that Shi Jian was too young after all, and was worried that Shi Jian would not be able to control his desires for a moment and be possessed by the female ghost.

But who is Shi Jian?

How could I let the female ghost have such an opportunity?
With a bright smile, Shi Jian didn't care about what Yan Chixia said.

"Master Yan, you are worrying too much. I know my limits. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Who knows, maybe this female ghost will bring unexpected results.

As for the kindness of Mr. Yan, I appreciate it."

After saying that, Shi Jian smiled and disappeared on the spot.

Seeing Shi Jian leaving like this, Yan Chixia sighed lightly. He didn't understand what Shi Jian's plan was, but it was obvious that the other party knew more about the tree demon and Lanruo Temple than he did.

Yan Chixia simply took off the wine jug from his waist, drank it down in one gulp, and his inner turmoil was calmed down a lot.

Shi Jian was looking for the source of the piano sound, and in just a few breaths, he arrived at a pavilion.

At this moment, Nie Xiaoqian, dressed in white, was playing a song seriously, and Shi Jian's arrival also made Nie Xiaoqian's mouth slightly rise.

"Sure enough, all men in this world are the same. After seeing how beautiful I am, they can't help but be driven by desire.

Well, I will send you to grandma later, which can delay some time, and I hope that woman can leave Lanruo Temple earlier..."

The reason why Nie Xiaoqian accepted this task was to use Shi Jian's energy to delay the needs of the tree demon grandma.

Buy more time for Fu Qingfeng to escape.

It’s a pity that no matter how much Nie Xiaoqian planned, she would never have expected that the first time she undertook such a mission, she would encounter a Taoist master like Shi Jian!
However, as Shi Jian walked into the pavilion step by step, even if Nie Xiaoqian knew it, it was too late.
