Chapter 158 Ning Caichen's Ideal

After listening to Nie Xiaoqian's remarks, Xiao Zhen understood her difficulties.

Only then did I remember that in the original movie plot, Nie Xiaoqian was captured by the Black Mountain Demon and almost got married.

Later, in order to save Nie Xiaoqian, Yan Chixia almost died in the underworld. In the end, if it weren't for the "Diamond Sutra", it would have been impossible for him to defeat the Black Mountain Demon.

It seems that the one who was defeated was not the real Black Mountain Demon, but just a clone.

Xiao Zhen then put the urns of the two female ghosts into his ring. Since the two beautiful female ghosts were not living creatures, they could also be put into Xiao Zhen's ring.

"Hahaha, I'm so happy today. Brother Xiao, let's go. I have a few jars of fine wine. We won't stop drinking until we are drunk!" Yan Chixia laughed.

Xiao Zhen nodded. Anyway, he had Nie Xiaoqian in his hands now. As long as the Black Mountain Old Demon still cared about him, he might come to him. That would be much better than rushing down to the underworld foolishly and fighting a group of ghosts alone.

After a while, Xiao Zhen and Yan Chixia returned to Lanruo Temple. As soon as they entered the door, Xiahou Swordsman, who was resting, quickly drew out his sword and looked alert.

Even the scholar Ning Caichen had not slept all night. He was holding a broken stick in his hand, with sweat running down his cheeks. He was obviously a frightened bird.

"Brother Xiahou, it's been such a long time since we last met, and you seem to have become less courageous!" Xiao Zhen's teasing voice came over.

Xiahou Swordsman finally breathed a sigh of relief, drew his sword back into the scabbard, and said a little embarrassedly: "People like me, who travel the world, are often plotted against by villains. Naturally, we are very vigilant. How can you say we are cowardly?"

Ning Caichen also slowly put down the wooden stick. Although he was the only weakling among the four people present who knew no martial arts, he was not without any special skills. After all, he was a scholar and a cultured intellectual.

"Brother Xiao Zhen, I wonder how the progress is. Have you gotten rid of that old witch?" Xiahou Jianke asked seriously. He almost died at the hands of that old witch today, so he was particularly concerned about this.

Before Xiao Zhen could speak, Yan Chixia spoke first.

"Don't worry about that. Xiao Zhen is very powerful. That old witch is dead now. There will be one less scourge in the area within a hundred miles."

After Yan Chixia finished speaking, he walked into the backyard with a smile. Not long after, he came out with a few jars of wine and a smile on his face.

Xiao Zhen looked at the simple wine jar and took just one sip of the wine before feeling it was tasteless. However, he still had to give Yan Chixia face and forced himself to swallow it.

Looking at the infatuated looks on Yan Chixia and Xiahou Jianke's faces, it can be estimated that this wine is a rare treasure to them.

Even Ning Caichen, who was standing by, was drinking in small sips. This guy probably had never tasted good wine before. He drank it like it was nectar.

Yan Chixia saw that Xiao Zhen only drank one glass and did not continue drinking, and asked in confusion: "Brother Xiao, what's wrong? Is this wine not to your liking?"

Xiao Zhen thought about it and decided to tell the truth.

"To be honest, please don't mind me, Brother Yan's wine is really average, and it may have been buried for too long, so it has an earthy smell!"

Ning Caichen licked his lips and shook his head, "I think this wine is good, much better than what I drank before!"

"Humph!" Xiahou Swordsman glanced at Ning Caichen and said disdainfully, "Little Brother Xiao Zhen looks like the heir of a powerful faction. How can a poor scholar like you compare with him?"

Xiao Zhen was also a little embarrassed. He often followed his unreliable father to various cocktail parties. What kind of good wine had he not tasted?

Xiao Zhen waved his hand casually, and several exquisite bottles appeared on the ground. A faint aroma of wine wafted out of the bottles, which immediately aroused the alcohol cravings of everyone in the room.

Ning Caichen said enviously: "Brother Xiao is truly a god. He can easily create the finest wine. I am so envious of him!"

Xiao Zhen chuckled and explained, "I can't turn it into any fine wine. These are just what I normally store in my ring."

As Xiao Zhen spoke, he shook the ring on his finger.

Yan Chixia knew a little bit about it, and asked enviously: "Isn't this the legendary storage magic weapon? I really learned a lot today!"

Seeing Yan Chixia's envious look, Xiao Zhen took out a black storage ring and threw it over.

"If Brother Yan likes it, I'll give it to you!"

Yan Chixia looked at the small ring in her hand and said happily: "This... could it be?"

Xiao Zhen nodded and said cheerfully: "As you thought, this is a storage ring, but I don't know if you can use your magic power?"

Yan Chixia then successfully used the storage ring under Xiao Zhen's guidance.

Xiahou Jianke's eyes were full of envy. He had only heard of that small storage ring in stories about gods, but he didn't expect to see it today, and it was taken by the nasty guy Yan Chixia.

Xiao Zhen also noticed Xiahou Swordsman's eyes and casually threw out another storage ring. Anyway, he had more than ten of these things on hand, and most of them were empty. It didn't matter if he took it out and gave it to someone now.

When Xiahou Jianke received the ring, he immediately clasped his fists towards Xiao Zhen to express his gratitude. Although he didn't know how many such rings Xiao Zhen had on hand, he thought there wouldn't be too many.

But it is a pity that although Xiahou Swordsman has strong internal strength, he is unable to open the storage ring.

"Oh! I didn't expect that the treasure is right in front of me, but I can't use it!" Xiahou Jianke looked at the storage ring in his hand, feeling very unwilling. He was about to hand it to Xiao Zhen, but was rejected by Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Zhen said nonchalantly: "Brother Xiahou, you can keep this ring. I will teach you some skills later. Maybe you can cultivate fighting...mana, and then you can use it!"

When Xiahou Swordsman heard that Xiao Zhen was willing to teach him his skills, he immediately wanted to become his disciple.

Xiao Zhen dodged in an instant, and immediately helped Xiahou Swordsman up, saying solemnly: "Brother Xiahou, there is no need to be so polite. I am teaching you the method not to take you as my apprentice, but because we are destined to be together, that's all!"

After Xiao Zhen finished speaking, he stretched out a finger and pointed it at Xiahou Swordsman's head, directly transmitting a set of Xuan-level skills into his mind.

Xiao Zhen was also very curious about what results would be achieved if he practiced the Douqi Continent's skills in this world.

Poor Xiahou Swordsman, he just became the guinea pig for Xiao Zhen's experiment. He looked so grateful, which made Xiao Zhen feel a little guilty, and he then gave him two sets of yellow-level advanced fighting skills.

Xiao Zhen glanced at Ning Caichen again and said jokingly, "Bookworm, do you want me to give you a storage ring and teach you some skills, so that you can protect yourself in this chaotic world in the future!"

Ning Caichen was very happy at first, but after thinking about it, he refused and said seriously: "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Xiao, but Caichen doesn't like fighting, so forget it!"

Xiao Zhen shook his head and said helplessly: "It's fine if you don't want to study, but I want to remind you that in troubled times, studying doesn't have much future. You should find another way out!"

When talking about studying, Ning Caichen's face was full of solemnity, and he said firmly: "Becoming a scholar, passing the imperial examination and serving the court in the future are the hopes of my parents before they passed away."

As Ning Caichen spoke, he clenched his fists and his voice became louder and louder.

"And I believe that I will be able to make a name for myself in the future. When the time comes, I will enter the imperial court, reorganize the government, and bring order to the world!"

Hearing these exciting words, Xiao Zhen couldn't help but applaud him, but he was thinking in his heart that after this guy goes into the cell and enjoys the treatment there, he might change his mind.
