Chapter 1174 Another secret

"Nianen Temple is actually on the other side of Shiluo Township. Actually, I heard people talk about it when I was a child. Because it had been flooded, it was washed away, and the road was rugged, so basically no one had been there. I packed up my things and dry food and went... It took me nearly two days to get there. The temple was very dilapidated, and the sedimentation of mud and sand almost filled the room, and weeds were everywhere. I felt a little disappointed, but it was too late at that time, and it was all mountain roads, so it was difficult to walk, so I planned to make do with it and then leave in the evening."

"And something happened?"

Wei Yuanxi nodded, "I saw a wall intact behind the temple with a little ceiling, so I planned to make do with it there. In the middle of the night, I was awakened by the cold. When I woke up, I found that the entire temple was brightly lit, with green bricks and green tiles, and the floor was paved with bluestone slabs, and light gauze curtains were floating everywhere. I was a little surprised, thinking that I was still dreaming, but pinching myself, it hurts..."

"The melodious sound of the piano came from the front yard. When I walked over, I saw a woman in a green silk skirt burying her head and playing the piano. When I saw me, I said apologetically, was the sound of the piano disturbing me? I said no, I just..."

It's really a "vulgar" story, which is comparable to the short plays she listened to before.

Most of the down-and-out scholars stay in a deserted temple, and then they will encounter a wild ghost or monster. These ghosts and elves all appreciate the scholar's talent, or are greedy for the yang energy on the other party, and will use all their strengths to lure them and give them various benefits.

Many ghosts and elves will even help accompany the other party to pass the top scorer, marry beautiful relatives, and then quietly retire themselves... and so on.

Unexpectedly, she would receive such a case one day, which shows that there is something in the world.

Su Xin couldn't help but think: the "contract" that night must have been full of scenery.

She thought of something, was a little curious, and suddenly asked: "So... did you know that she might have been a ghost or other monster at that time?"

Wei Yuanxi stuttered a little, "I..."

He didn't say it, but nodded in shame.

In such a wilderness, and the scene around him changed when he was asleep, a beautiful woman suddenly appeared. Even if she was kicked by a donkey, she would feel that the other person's origin was abnormal.

If Wei Yuanxi said "I don't know" at this time, Su Xin would really see him in vain.

Once you admit that you know that the other party is a ghost and still have to make peace with him, the glorious image of a scholar on your body will immediately collapse.

Wei Yuanxi seemed very confused, "I... admit that I really wanted to find an opportunity at that time, even if..."

Even if the other party is a ghost, he doesn't care, as long as the other party can help him.

What's more, when he first heard the legend and decided to try his luck, wasn't that just because he had such an idea in his mind?

When he said this, Wei Yuanxi suddenly explained anxiously: "But I don't have that, that... really, I...she, we..."

Su Xin asked casually: "No one?"

Wei Yuanxi suddenly turned red, "That's it, that..."

Suxin: "Hmm?"

"I am innocent..."

After Wei Yuanxi said this, she felt that the stone pressing on her heart suddenly loosened.

"Oh..." Su Xin was stunned for a moment before she realized, thinking about how beautiful she was that night just now. It seemed that her thoughts were also very dirty.

Wei Yuanxi has no ideological burden, and the following explanations have been much smoother.

"She said that her name is Luluo. She was originally a snail spirit who had practiced and achieved enlightenment in the lake next to her. She rescued a scholar who fell into the water at a time... In fact, the scholar failed the exam and felt that his future was bleak. He wanted to find a short-term view, but was rescued by her. He carefully enlightened him and finally helped him pass the top scorer. After spending a few years together, Luluo fell in love with him and gave his snail beads as a token of love, but in the end..."

Su Xin continued casually: "But in the end the scholar took her snail beads and never returned?"

Wei Yuanxi nodded, "Well. Because the snail beads are the meditative palace she cultivated throughout her life, and it is also the foundation for her to be able to escape from the mortal world in the future. Once she loses it, she will not even be able to leave that place."

Su Xin: "So she wants to entrust you to help find that person and get the snail beads back?"

Wei Yuanxi said: "It has been decades since the incident, and so many things have happened later, so it is not so easy to find. Luluo said that the man later built a temple and named it Nianen, saying that it was to repay her kindness and to worship her tablets so that she could enjoy people's incense forever."

"This is a great thing. For those monsters in the path, if they can be blessed by people's belief and thought power, they can achieve the right result, and they will have a layer of blessing for the power of the path."

Su Xin knew about this, but later people's beliefs were too easy to deceive. An evil heretic can gain people's faith with a little use of methods and then worship them.

Of course, this is also very tempting for her, a person who "sees through the world", for a small snail spirit, her faith and mind power.

"But the truth of the matter is not like this. It turns out that the man built the temple to suppress her, so that he could always possess her snail beads. It was not until a flood ten years ago that flooded the temple that she had some freedom and could come out of the lake. However, at most she could only be nearby. No matter how far she was, she could not go or dare to go. Without the protection of the snail beads, she was a "big tonic pill" of action. Any ghost monster could take her as a tonic. So..."

Su Xin sighed slightly in her heart.

Wei Yuanxi continued: "She asked me to help her find that person. I...I really wanted to get a good exam at that time, and I really wanted my parents to live a good life, so..."

"So you made a deal with her?"

Wei Yuanxi nodded and buried her head deeply.

Suxin: "What are you trading?"

Wei Yuanxi: "Before... she will follow me, she will keep following me."

He added carefully: "She said that there was a hint of awesomeness on me, and with the contract, she could board and leave that place..."

When Su Xin heard Wei Yuanxi's words, she subconsciously glanced at him.

Compared with those ordinary people who are determined to do something, he does have a hint of mighty aura, but now it has gradually disappeared with his clinging to the career of the officialdom and the powerful.

And as the mighty aura dissipates, the resentment of the green ivy will appear, and even eventually become a fierce spirit with only resentment.

This is also why when Su Xin first saw this scholar at the inn, the first thing he thought of was "cause and effect".

I didn't expect there was such a twist.

At first, Wei Yuanxi did want to help Luluo find that person, but decades have passed. If the scholar was in his twenties at that time, he would be over 60 years old now.

If the other party has snails and beads in his hands, he will definitely rise to the top in recent years.

After changing your name and surname, if you only live in the same place for more than ten or twenty years, who will still remember what you used to be like?

Just like the Ge family in the previous case, this is the case.
