Chapter 175: Undead Knight Ning Caichen
Lanruo Temple——
"Scholar, why don't you go back?" Xiahou Jie turned his head and looked at Ning Caichen.
"Ah... I don't dare go home alone." Ning Caichen answered vaguely.
"Come down the mountain during the day. If you are afraid, I will send you to the foot of the mountain." Xiahou Jie said.
"But this place is still a hundred miles away from my home."
Xiahou Jie was suddenly a little embarrassed. A hundred miles was not far, but this was only for him.
If he sent Ning Caichen back, it would take at least four or five days according to Ning Caichen's walking speed.
But if he left, Yan Chixia might not be able to deal with the tree demon alone.
"It's extremely dangerous to stay here. It's more dangerous for you to stay here than on the way." Xiahou Jie said.
Yan Chixia narrowed his eyes and looked at Ning Caichen: "These mountain spirits and wild monsters transformed into human forms, they look beautiful and attractive, but in fact they all look like Yaksha Shura. If you indulge in them, you will definitely not get any benefits."
After hearing what Yan Chixia said, Xiahou Jie looked at Ning Caichen suspiciously: "Do you have a wife and children at home?"
Ning Caichen lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the two of them.
Seeing this, Xiahou Jie originally wanted to give Ning Caichen a few words of warning, but when he saw Ning Caichen's attitude, he finally shut up.
I just met him by chance, and I just think he is likable to me, but I have no right to meddle in other people's affairs.
The next few nights were calm.
That night, the door of Ning Caichen's bedroom was pushed open.
Ning Caichen couldn't wait to open his arms and embrace the beautiful figure in white.
"Xiao Qian, I miss you so much."
Ning Caichen has been meeting with Nie Xiaoqian in secret these days, and the reason why Ning Caichen is reluctant to leave is also because of Nie Xiaoqian.
How can domestic flowers be as fragrant as wild flowers, not to mention that Nie Xiaoqian is so beautiful.
With such a beauty, it would be worthy for her to be an Undead Knight.
"Cai Chen, please leave quickly."
"Xiao Qian, are you going to chase me away?"
"Tomorrow is July 15th, and the gates of hell will be wide open. By then, my strength will be greatly improved. Even if Yan Chixia and Xiahou Swordsman join forces, they will never be my opponent. If you stay here, you will definitely..."
bang——
Just then, the door was kicked open.
Xiahou Jie and Yan Chixia strode in. When Nie Xiaoqian saw them, she was immediately frightened.
Ning Caichen hurriedly blocked Nie Xiaoqian behind him.
"Scholar, are you really not afraid of death? This female ghost sucks Yang energy, commits many evil deeds, and kills countless living people. You have become emaciated after just a few days of interacting with her. It won't take long before she will devour all of your energy." Yan Chixia shouted.
"Scholar, please move away and let me chop her down with my sword."
"I won't let you hurt Xiaoqian. Xiaoqian, run quickly. I'll stop them."
Nie Xiaoqian was very touched by Ning Caichen's protection, but was Ning Caichen overestimating himself by stopping these two evil stars?
Nie Xiaoqian suddenly knelt on the ground and said sincerely: "You two, although I was forced to be a slave to my grandmother, I have never harmed anyone's life. This time I came here to persuade Caichen and you two to leave Lanruo Temple as soon as possible. Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the seventh month, and the gates of hell will be wide open. My grandmother's strength will increase dramatically, and even you two will not be her opponent."
Yan Chixia and Xiahou Jie looked at each other, and after hearing Nie Xiaoqian's words, they gave up the idea of taking action.
"Although the Ghost Festival will greatly increase the strength of demons and monsters, it does not necessarily double their strength." Yan Chixia said, "I have killed demons and monsters during the Ghost Festival in the past. Although the strength of those demons and monsters will indeed increase, it is not as exaggerated as you say."
"Grandma is a demon from a banyan tree. Its roots have touched the veins of this mountain. There is a Yin vein running through this mountain. Grandma cannot absorb the power of the Yin vein on ordinary days, but during the Zhongyuan Festival, the Yin vein will riot. Grandma can take the opportunity to extract the power of the Yin vein. Moreover, this year is a Yin year, which only happens once every sixty years."
Xiahou Jie didn't understand his birth date, so he turned to look at Yan Chixia, but Yan Chixia's expression became solemn.
"It is indeed as she said. This year is indeed a Yin year. In Yin years, Yin months, and Yin days, the ghosts and monsters are nourished by the Yin energy, and their strength will surely increase tenfold."
"If we work together, can we defeat that tree demon?"
"It's hard to say." Yan Chixia and Xiahou Jie have also tried a few tricks in the past few days.
Although they were just brief mentions, they gave a rough idea of Xiahou Jie's strength.
If the two of them fought to the death, Xiahou Jie would probably have a slight advantage, but in a normal competition, I would be able to defeat him.
So their strength is comparable.
Under normal circumstances, it would not be difficult for any of them to defeat the tree demon.
The difficulty lies in the fact that tree monsters are difficult to deal with. If you can't defeat them, they will simply hide their roots in the ground, making them difficult to eradicate.
And if it is true as Nie Xiaoqian said, that the roots of the tree demon touch the underground Yin veins, and coupled with the Yin years, Yin months and Yin days, then her strength will be truly terrifying to an immeasurable level.
Even the two of them might not be able to defeat the tree demon.
"But it's not completely hopeless." Yan Chixia said, "The Ghost Gate is wide open, and the tree demon will definitely reveal its true form and absorb the essence of Ghost Moon. This is also our best chance to eliminate the tree demon."
Yan Chixia added: "The tree demon is a demon, not a ghost, so it cannot absorb Yin energy directly. It needs to borrow your ghost bodies. Where are your ashes? As long as it can take away the ashes of you women and send you to reincarnate, the tree demon will not be able to borrow your ghost bodies. Even if the ghost gate is wide open, the power it can borrow is very limited."
"It's at the mass grave in the back hill of Lanruo Temple."
Ning Caichen looked at Nie Xiaoqian with reluctance. He hoped that Nie Xiaoqian would not be reincarnated and would stay with him forever.
"Xiao Qian, are you going to leave me too?"
Nie Xiaoqian was also reluctant to let go. She died young and had never experienced love between men and women. That was why she was easily attracted to Ning Caichen and couldn't extricate herself from him.
"Humans and ghosts have different paths. Even if you stay with him, it won't last long. It won't benefit either you or him." Yan Chixia said, "The ghost energy in you will cause his yang energy to dissipate. He will die within half a year, and you will also be contaminated with karma. Even if you want to reincarnate in the future, you can only be reborn as an animal."
Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian finally let out a long sigh after hearing what he said.
Although they were reluctant to part with each other, they also knew that reincarnation was the best choice for each other.
The next day, Yan Chixia, Xiahou Jie and Ning Caichen came to the back mountain, where there were lonely graves everywhere.
There are still many debris abandoned here, and the weeds are so overgrown that the road is invisible.
The three of them saw several huge rhizomes extending from the ground, forming a tree hole, and under the tree hole were more than a dozen urns.
The three of them immediately put all the urns into the package, and each person took a few.
But when we were going down the mountain, we found that we couldn't find the way down.
"We've hit a wall of mystery." Yan Chixia said grimly.
"How to do?"
"give it to me."
