Chapter 192: Scholar Ning Caichen, Shi Jian disdains him (Subscribe)
"A wild temple in a desolate mountain, such a desolate place, actually has a pavilion, and a young girl playing the zither. The girl is really bold!"

As Shi Jian spoke, he walked into the pavilion with a faint smile on his face.

Hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian was stunned. She did not feel the slightest emotional fluctuation from the man in front of her. The desire and impulse that men used to have when seeing her beautiful figure suddenly disappeared from the man in front of her.

It was as if he was a wise man who was not tainted by the worldly affairs and was just having a simple conversation with her.

With her fingertips lightly plucking the strings and taking a deep breath, Nie Xiaoqian's paused piano music became melodious again.

"Sir, you came here late at night to check on the person playing the zither, didn't you?"

Shi Jian nodded, and at the same time, he also looked carefully at Nie Xiaoqian. She was wearing a white dress that was three times whiter than snow, her two leaf-shaped eyebrows were charming, her skin was rosy, and she was very beautiful. She was worthy of being the representative of ghosts.

Apart from that, Nie Xiaoqian did not have any disgusting aura and did not have any karma.

Sitting down on the stone chair opposite Nie Xiaoqian, Shi Jian came straight to the point and was unwilling to continue arguing with Nie Xiaoqian.

"Young lady, I came here just to ask you about the roots of that tree demon.

The grass and trees are spirits, rooted in the earth. If you don't cut the grass and uproot it, it will grow again in the spring breeze. I'm sure you know the answer to my question. As for whether to tell me or not, you have no choice when you see me!"

As he spoke, a touch of Three Flavors True Fire slowly burned at his fingertips, and the temperature in the void suddenly rose. Nie Xiaoqian on the opposite side also had a solemn expression, no longer as indifferent as before.

She really didn't expect that the young man who came to Lanruo Temple was actually a cultivator, and his cultivation was so high that it even surpassed that of the bearded man who was resident in Lanruo Temple!

"Senior, do you want to do something to grandma?"

After much deliberation, Nie Xiaoqian decided to test whether the other party really wanted to kill the tree demon.

After all, as a female ghost, Nie Xiaoqian only has one chance to choose. Once she makes the wrong choice, the only thing that awaits her is the destruction of her soul.

"Are you worried that I can't kill the tree monster, or do you think I dare not offend the Black Mountain Old Monster behind the tree monster?"

Shi Jian heard the hidden meaning behind Nie Xiaoqian's words. From Nie Xiaoqian's point of view, there was nothing wrong with it, but Shi Jian's patience was limited.

Although it is difficult to find the roots of the tree demon, it does not require Nie Xiaoqian's cooperation. At most it will just waste some time searching around Lanruo Temple.

"Senior, do you know the Black Mountain Demon?"

Nie Xiaoqian stared at Shi Jian's eyes. It was the first time she saw a cultivator's expression of being unmoved even after hearing the name of the Black Mountain Old Demon.

With a sudden determination, Nie Xiaoqian stopped playing the piano and knelt on the ground.

"Senior, Xiaoqian is willing to tell you the root of the tree demon. I only ask you to allow Xiaoqian to practice with you!"

Nie Xiaoqian was extremely nervous at the moment. She did not pray for reincarnation, which was an illusory existence, because she heard from the tree demon that there were no officials in the underworld and the Ghost Emperor was rampant.

Even if she could escape the control of the tree demon and enter the underworld, wouldn't she be like a lamb walking into a tiger's mouth?
In this case, it is better to stay in the world of the living.

But Nie Xiaoqian knew that her cultivation was weak. She was at the initial stage of Ghost King. If she was not careful while wandering in the world of the living, she would be captured.

By that time, her ending wouldn't be any better.

As for staying with Shi Jian to practice, not to mention that she can roam freely in the world of the living by relying on a big boss, just the fact that Shi Jian doesn't have the slightest desire for her makes Nie Xiaoqian willing to follow Shi Jian and serve him.

"Stay by my side and practice...

You are very smart. If I can successfully kill the tree monster, it is okay for me to leave you here!

The underworld can no longer allow people to reincarnate, so it’s useless to go there, wise man…”

With a faint smile, Shi Jian knew all of Nie Xiaoqian's thoughts, but he did not refuse. He also wanted to see, if he brought Nie Xiaoqian with him, would the Black Mountain Old Demon be so anxious that he would come out of the underworld to fight him!
"Xiao Qian thanks you, senior!"

"From now on, just call me Young Master."

"Yes, sir..."

Soon, Nie Xiaoqian told Shi Jian the specific location of the tree demon's base, and even some information about the Black Mountain Old Demon. Nie Xiaoqian described it vividly, wishing that Shi Jian could know more about the Black Mountain Old Demon.

Just when Shi Jian and Nie Xiaoqian reached a cooperation, outside Lanruo Temple, a scholar who rushed in instantly caught Yan Chixia's attention.

"Scholar, if you don't want to die, get down the mountain quickly, otherwise you will be among the dry bones in the tomb."

Ning Caichen was startled when he heard Yan Chixia's powerful voice.

When he looked up, he found that the person who was talking was actually lying on the tree trunk. Looking at the sword behind the rough man in front of him, Ning Caichen swallowed and his legs and feet trembled unconsciously.

Seeing this scene, Yan Chixia frowned. He was just giving a kind reminder, but the other party not only did not appreciate it, but even regarded him as a bandit.

"Humph!

If you remember, go in. It is hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. In this world, it is hard to be a good person, it is hard to be a bad person, it is hard to be a human being!"

Shaking his head, Yan Chixia no longer paid attention to Ning Caichen. He buried his head in the liquor and continued to use his spiritual sense to explore everything around Lanruo Temple.

The confused Ning Caichen obviously did not listen to Yan Chixia's advice. He pushed open the dilapidated door of Lanruo Temple and rushed in.

As soon as he entered the temple, Ning Caichen stood there in a daze. Looking at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him, Ning Caichen's heart was pounding.

That’s right, when seeing Fu Qingfeng, Ning Caichen’s throbbing heart began to beat wildly, and even his saliva became uncontrollable.

Ning Caichen suppressed his throbbing emotion and greeted people politely.

"Miss, I am Ning Caichen, Miss..."

Just as Ning Caichen said this, with a whoosh, the three-foot green sword in Fu Qingfeng's hand suddenly whizzed out, and suddenly the tip of the sword passed through the hat on Ning Caichen's head. In an instant, the hat was split in two. Ning Caichen's eyes became dull and his originally throbbing heart stopped abruptly.

"Scholar? Get lost!"

Fu Qingfeng sheathed the sword in one go, without even turning back, and returned to where he was sitting cross-legged.

Only Ning Caichen took a long time to come to his senses. He put down the bag on his back tremblingly, but had no intention of leaving.

Since the woman in front of him did not kill him, it was enough to prove that his life was not in danger for the time being.

Ning Caichen didn't have any money on him, so he wasn't afraid of being robbed. Therefore, he just stayed where he was, stealing glances at Fu Qingfeng from time to time...

Yan Chixia, who was originally lying on the tree, quickly stood up and looked at the figure approaching in front of him with a look of curiosity and surprise.

That’s right, the people who arrived were Shi Jian and his follower Nie Xiaoqian.

Seeing Yan Chixia opening his mouth as if to say something, Shi Jian smiled faintly.

"Master Yan looks very surprised. I said that I would find the roots of the tree demon. Don't you understand?"

Yan Chixia naturally knew that Shi Jian was talking about relying on the female ghost in front of him to reveal the roots of the tree demon.

Can……

Yan Chixia's brain was unable to react for a moment as he was cooperating with evil demons.

“Master Yan, don’t be surprised. I used to hate evil as well. No demon that saw me would escape from my hands alive. But this world is different.

Humanity has declined to this point, demons and evil spirits are rampant. If I just keep killing demons, how many can I kill?

Besides, in this world, people are much more evil than ghosts!"

Yan Chixia nodded. Indeed, this is the way the world is.

Nie Xiaoqian behind Shi Jian twitched her lips. Although she was not very familiar with her son's personality, she understood the scene just now very well. If she dared to say a word of disagreement or that she was of no use, she would be burned to ashes by the three-flavor true fire in the next second.

"You are absolutely right, Daoist friend!"

Yan Chixia nodded, obviously thinking that there was some truth in what Shi Jian said. However, he also felt that something was wrong but couldn't put his finger on it, so he just thought it was right to praise him directly.

Shaking his head, Shi Jian was about to enter Lanruo Temple to settle Fu Qingfeng, but just as he took a step, he smelled the breath of a living person, which did not belong to him, Yan Chixia, or Fu Qingfeng!

Without saying a word, Shi Jian entered Lanruo Temple. What caught his eyes was Ning Caichen's trembling figure like a scholar.

In almost an instant, Shi Jian saw Ning Caichen thoroughly. Without the slightest emotional fluctuation, Shi Jian went straight towards Fu Qingfeng.

Nie Xiaoqian, who followed Fu Qingfeng into Lanruo Temple, looked at him meaningfully.

As for Ning Caichen, he was almost stunned at this moment. What did he see? Two identical fairy women?

Suddenly, Ning Caichen's hidden desire began to extend without limit, and his heart, which was originally frightened by Fu Qingfeng, began to beat again.

He stood up and walked towards Nie Xiaoqian.

At this moment, Shi Jian has already arrived in front of Fu Qingfeng.

"Miss Fu, Lanruo Temple will not be peaceful from now on. I cannot guarantee that I can protect Miss Fu's safety, so Miss Fu should leave Lanruo Temple first."

"What about her?"

Unexpectedly, Fu Qingfeng did not say whether he was leaving or not, but just pointed at Nie Xiaoqian, his eyes full of vigilance.

"Let me leave and let her stay with me?"

Fu Qingfeng's next words shocked Shi Jian.

“Miss Fu, she is not a human being. You are different. Also, I only reminded you because you two, father and daughter, helped me leave the pit.

If you don't want to leave and want to become a wandering ghost like her, I won't stop you!"

After saying that, Shi Jian stopped entangled with Fu Qingfeng. He also knew that it was useless to reason with a woman. In short, he had said his all and the cause and effect were over.

On Nie Xiaoqian's side, Ning Caichen was about to say something when he heard Shi Jian's cold snort!
"Humph!

Scholar...Scholars like you are no strangers to the wandering ghosts in the wild mountains and wilderness. You should have heard what I just said.

What? Do you think the love stories between humans and ghosts in those strange stories can happen to you?

Just wishful thinking!

Xiaoqian, lead the way..."

After Shi Jian finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, and Ning Caichen instantly flew backwards more than ten meters and fainted.

As for the so-called love between humans and ghosts, Shi Jian could only laugh.

In the original novel, if Ning Caichen was really infatuated with Nie Xiaoqian, he would not have been involved with Fu Qingfeng. After all, even though they look the same, they are not the same person. It is just the scholar's lewd excuse.

Fu Qingfeng, at this moment, felt a little at a loss. He wanted to keep up, but what Shi Jian said just now should not be false. The woman who looked exactly like him was a female ghost.

If I follow him, I will only make things worse.

Watching Shi Jian and Nie Xiaoqian slowly leave, Fu Qingfeng couldn't help but follow them out of the temple gate.

But when she came out, Shi Jian and Nie Xiaoqian were gone.

Fu Qingfeng felt a little lonely and his mood was extremely complicated at the moment. At this moment, a hearty laugh came into Fu Qingfeng's ears.

"Miss, Fellow Daoist Shi Jian is a cultivator, and I'm afraid your sincerity will not produce any results.

let it go……"

Yan Chixia had watched a good show, and also found that Fu Qingfeng was a good person, so he gave him a reminder.

However, to Fu Qingfeng's ears, these words sounded like a reminder.

"Master Yan, are you saying that as long as I become a cultivator, I will be able to...?"

"Well...theoretically the chances are higher."

Yan Chixia was dumbfounded. He just reminded her, so why did the girl still go crazy?

"Theoretically, it is higher... Master Yan, can you teach me how to practice?"

Yan Chixia felt a little uncomfortable as he was bitten by the melon, but Fu Qingfeng's words touched his heart.

He obtained this inheritance unintentionally, and cultivating to this level was just a coincidence.

The chances of going further are slim...

When the inheritance was first obtained, the predecessor who left the inheritance hoped that Yan Chixia could return to Shushan with his inheritance.

However, Shushan is a secluded place. If Yan Chixia wants to enter Shushan, he must have the cultivation level above Nascent Soul.

Obviously, as a casual cultivator, Yan Chixia would never be able to achieve this in his lifetime.

And Fu Qingfeng...

Yan Chixia became interested and stood in front of Fu Qingfeng in a flash.

“Miss Fu wants to start practicing cultivation, and I am not unable to teach her.

However... I will also hand over the important task of inheriting this legacy to you, Miss Fu. I just don't know if Miss Fu dares to take on this responsibility!"

Hearing this, Fu Qingfeng became a little hesitant. If he agreed to something like this, it would be for life.

Some hesitation is inevitable.

However, thinking that there was no turning back, Fu Qingfeng smiled with relief.

"Master Yan, I am willing!"

Hearing this, Yan Chixia smiled brightly and was very happy. He was really afraid that he would die in the hands of monsters and his inheritance would be cut off. Wouldn't that be a disappointment to that senior?

Fortunately, I met Fu Qingfeng.

Fu Qingfeng's own strength is not weak, and his martial arts skills are at the acquired limit. He is only one step away from entering the innate realm, which is equivalent to building a foundation.

“Okay, okay!

It's good this way. When you embark on the path of cultivation, although there is no guarantee that you will be accepted by Fellow Daoist Shi Jian, at least you have a glimmer of hope.

In this chaotic world, it is much safer to have a cultivation base."

With a sigh, Yan Chixia moved his fingertips, and all the inheritance about himself suddenly flooded into Fu Qingfeng's mind.

Countless cultivation knowledge made Fu Qingfeng immersed in it for a while...
