It's late at night.
Lanruo temple is always so gloomy at night, but Yan Chixia and Guo Lingfeng who live here don't feel anything bad. On the contrary, they feel so quiet.
When Yan Chixia saw Guo Lingfeng's accomplishments, she had the meaning of "knowing shame and then being brave". These days, she meditated and practiced in her room whenever she was free. Guo Lingfeng was so idle that she simply bought some ink and paper to practice writing in her room.
He was not good at learning since childhood. He didn't even write well with a pen, let alone with a brush. The words he wrote were crooked and like a dog crawling. However, he also learned Yan Chixia's spirit of "knowing shame and then being brave". He practiced hard in the room every day. He has made great progress for more than ten days. At least he can write horizontally and vertically.
He wanted to cooperate with Yan Chixia to kill the old tree demon as soon as possible, but the old monster had been hiding underground. He can't help it. Even if you burn his old locust tree, it's useless. You can only hurt its stem, not its root.
Yan Chixia is studying a sealing technique he has learned these days. If she succeeds, she can seal the tree demon for a hundred years. However, he didn't learn this magic when he learned it. It seems that it will take some time.
That night, Guo Lingfeng and Yan Chixia returned to their rooms after dinner. Guo Lingfeng began to practice calligraphy as usual. His recent copy of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy has been quite effective, and the words written are at least correct.
"Hmm?" he had just written a few pages when he noticed someone outside the door, so he stopped writing and asked, "who's outside the door?"
"Young master, will you open the door? It's dark and cold outside. Can I come in again?" a nice female voice said.
Guo Lingfeng said in his heart, "isn't Nie Xiaoqian coming? No? The tree demon knows I'm a monk and dares to send her female ghosts to die?"
When he opened the door, he saw a beautiful girl in white standing in front of the door. She had two curly and non curly smoke eyebrows and big watery eyes. She was really a very beautiful woman.
"Young master, can you let me in?" the sister said pitifully.
Guo Lingfeng leaned and said, "come first!"
How could he not see that the beautiful girl was a ghost? But since it's a female ghost, it must be sent by the old tree demon. Most of the sister is Nie Xiaoqian. Of course, I want her to enter the house.
Nie Xiaoqian walked into the room and saw the paper on the table. As soon as she glanced at it, she couldn't help laughing.
Guo Lingfeng came over and asked, "what are you laughing at?"
Nie Xiaoqian said with a smile: "I think the childe is writing... Calligraphy, but this word is too... Too mediocre?"
Guo Lingfeng's face is red, and he has no good way to say: "what is" too mediocre "? Do you just say I write ugly?
Nie Xiaoqian said with a smile, "no, it's a great kindness for you to let me in to avoid the cold wind at night. How dare I laugh at you?"
Guo Lingfeng sneered, "are you still afraid of the cold wind at night? Do you want the cold wind to be colder? Isn't it better for your ghost body?"
Nie Xiaoqian's smile disappeared and said, "I knew I couldn't hide from the childe!"
Guo Lingfeng said with a smile, "just know! Come on, what did the old tree demon ask you to do? I didn't mean to send you here to die?"
Nie Xiaoqian looked out of the window and was about to stop talking. Guo Lingfeng said with a smile, "just say that I have covered this room with magic power. No outsiders can hear what you say here!"
Nie Xiaoqian sighed and said, "my name is Nie Xiaoqian. Dare you ask your son's name?"
Guo Lingfeng thought it was you, nodded and said, "my name is Guo Lingfeng. Are you one of the female ghosts controlled by the old tree demon?"
Nie Xiaoqian said, "young master, I'll keep it from you now that you know it. Grandma... Is the old tree demon. She sent me to seduce you, and then she took the opportunity to poison your tea, and then she can deal with you!"
Guo Lingfeng sat by the bed, looked at her with interest and said, "then why did you confess to me when you came? Aren't you afraid of your grandmother punishing you?"
Nie Xiaoqian sighed: "I thought you could see my ghost body at a glance. How could you be fooled? But grandma said you were young and vigorous. Even if you knew I was a ghost... I'm afraid you couldn't stand the temptation. Aren't many of your human friars like to keep female ghosts for their own fun? I don't want to come, but what can I do?"
Seeing her pitiful, Guo Lingfeng said, "is your urn buried under the old locust tree?"
Nie Xiaoqian said, "yes, that's why I'm controlled by grandma. She's a thousand year old demon with profound Taoism. Even the bearded Taoist priest in your neighbor is not grandma's opponent. What can we kids who have only more than ten years of skills? We can't resist at all!"
Guo Lingfeng pondered for a moment and said, "I ask you, what are you going to do if you can get rid of the control of the tree demon?"
Nie Xiaoqian smiled miserably and said, "what else can we do? We are ghosts, of course, to reincarnate?"
Guo Lingfeng said with a smile, "it's very simple. Now your grandmother doesn't dare to come out. I can dig out your urn and take it away at any time to ensure that your grandmother doesn't dare to stop!"
Nie Xiaoqian said in surprise: "if you can save me from the sea of suffering, I would like to give priority to you and repay your kindness as an ox and a horse from generation to generation!"
Guo Lingfeng smiled and said, "don't you want to reincarnate?"
Nie Xiaoqian pondered for a moment and said, "as long as we can get rid of grandma's control, even if we can't reincarnate, what is it? We ghosts certainly know the truth of karma. If you can save me from the sea of suffering, how can you not repay me? I'll be satisfied to be a maid around you!"
Guo Lingfeng smiled and said, "good! Let's not talk about this first. Show me the poison your grandmother gave you. I'm curious about what poison she can give you. I'm confident that she can turn over my friars?"
Nie Xiaoqian took a small bottle from her body and handed it to him. She said, "that's it. Grandma said that the poison is called 'immortal pour'. Even if the human monk is deep in Taoism, one drop at the entrance will be poisoned and fall!"
Guo Lingfeng pulled off the bottle cap and smelled it. Then he drank it with his head up. After drinking it, he licked his lips and said, "don't say, it tastes really good!"
Nie Xiaoqian was immediately frightened and said, "young master, how did you drink it?... what should I do?"
Guo Lingfeng said with a smile, "don't be nervous. This medicine is not as powerful as your grandmother said. At least... It doesn't work for me!"
He secretly transported Zhenyuan and soon stretched out his right hand. He saw that the palm of his hand was so dark that it was almost dark. Then, with his palm down, he saw that the paint blackened into a liquid and dropped to the ground drop by drop.
"See?" Guo Lingfeng said with a smile, "that's what your grandmother said. I'm afraid I can't stand it if my skills are shallow, but now you see it!"
Nie Xiaoqian was stunned and said for a long time, "how is this possible? This is' immortal down '? How can you have nothing at all?"
Guo Lingfeng said with a smile, "don't be surprised. Your grandmother's insight is like this. She thinks this grade of poison can deal with me? It's naive!"
