Chapter 151 Lanruo Temple, Yan Chixia

As evening approached, the sun set.

Deep in the mountains and forests, quiet and secluded.

Swish~~

Zuo Qianhu walked through the dark forest.

The surrounding area was devoid of birds and insects, giving it a desolate and chilling feel.

A chilling aura permeated the forest, along with a hint of demonic energy.

"The demonic aura is very strong."

Zuo Qianhu's gaze swept across the area as he walked step by step into the forest.

Soon after, he saw a dilapidated building.

A stone tablet stands in front.

Several large characters are engraved on it.

Lanruo Temple!

This is Lanruo Temple, an old lair of the Tree Demon Granny.

It's also a haunted shop; at night, female ghosts come out to greet customers.

Click, click~~

Zuo Qianhu stepped into the ancient temple, his feet crunching on the fallen leaves and branches.

As far as the eye could see, there was only desolation and ruin.

It was once a temple, but now it has become a den of demons.

huh~~

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the leaves on the ground rustled and flew everywhere.

Inside Lanruo Temple, a bearded man suddenly opened his eyes.

"Sigh, yet another one coming to die."

Yan Chixia glanced at the person who came in, shook his head secretly, and closed his eyes again.

In his view, all the people who come here are the same.

Day after day, one after another came, all delivering meat to the old monster's door.

He wanted to manage it, but he couldn't manage it all.

Is anyone there?

Suddenly, Zuo Qianhu, who had just entered from outside, shouted.

The echoes reverberated within the silent Lanruo Temple, infuriating Yan Chixia.

You said you were coming, so why are you shouting?

"Guests are here! Girls, come out and greet them!"

Zuo Qianhu shouted loudly as he walked.

"..."

Yan Chixia, who was inside the room, was dumbfounded.

He stared blankly outside, and through the broken door, he saw Commander Zuo enter a room next door.

But what did he just shout?

What respectable person would come to this desolate mountain temple to look for a girl?

"He has a strong and robust constitution, indicating he is a martial artist, but martial artists are the most beloved prey of demons."

Yan Chixia's expression was complicated; a lecherous martial artist had arrived.

He actually came to a dilapidated temple in the wilderness to look for a girl.

This was the first time in his life he had encountered such an oddball.

In the other room, Commander Zuo sat imposingly on a dilapidated stool.

"Hey, is anyone there?"

"I'm here! Ladies, what are you waiting for? Come out and greet me!"

He shouted in a dissatisfied tone.

"If you don't come out, I'll file a complaint against you."

Zuo Qianhu said with a displeased expression.

"Woo-"

Outside, a chilly wind was blowing.

Sand and stones flew everywhere, and leaves were blown wildly through the air.

A demonic aura permeated the air, and a chilling aura wafted through the air.

But after waiting for a while, nothing happened.

Is it because he's not handsome enough that the female ghost won't come out?

Zuo Qianhu seemed to be deep in thought, and unable to figure it out, he simply closed his eyes to rest.

At this moment, in an underground space.

Several ghostly figures were whispering and discussing something.

"This person appears to be wearing official robes."

"What does he mean?"

"You want us to go out and entertain guests?"

The group of female ghosts looked at each other, filled with surprise and doubt.

Clearly, none of them dared to go out.

"Xiaoqian, why don't you give it a try?"

A female ghost dressed in purple said sweetly from the side.

Sitting in front of her was a cool and delicate woman in white, none other than Nie Xiaoqian.

Nie Xiaoqian said thoughtfully, "This person doesn't look simple at all. We'd better be careful."

"Xiaoqian, are you scared?"

Xiaoqing immediately started to mock him.

She chuckled and said, "If you're scared, I can tell Grandma and she'll give you a different target."

"You don't need to worry."

Nie Xiaoqian answered coldly, her eyes fixed on Xiaoqing with a deep, unsettling gaze.

Xiaoqing felt an instinctive fear when stared at by that gaze.

As a female ghost, Xiaoqing is not as strong as Nie Xiaoqian, nor is she as favored as Xiaoqian, so she has always targeted Nie Xiaoqian.

"Hmph~~Grandma, look at Xiaoqian, she's threatening me."

Xiaoqing immediately ran crying to an old monster sitting on top to complain.

The old monster smiled slightly and grabbed Xiaoqing's hair.

The Tree Demon Granny warned, "Don't try anything funny. I love you all the same."

Its voice was neither male nor female, and sounded very strange.

"Xiaoqian, you and Xiaoqing take the other female ghosts and go test this person."

The Tree Demon Granny isn't stupid. How could she not test the waters when a commander of the Imperial Guard suddenly appeared?

The sudden arrival of a commander of the Imperial Guard in this desolate mountain temple inevitably put the Tree Demon Granny on her guard.

As a demon who has lived for over a thousand years, the Tree Demon Granny is undoubtedly shrewd and cunning.

"Yes, grandma!"

Nie Xiaoqian and Xiaoqing accepted the order in unison.

Then she went out with a group of other female ghosts.

This was a plan to test the waters of the Jinyiwei commander who had suddenly arrived.

The Tree Demon Granny was still worried, fearing that the imperial court would send the Imperial Guards to encircle and annihilate her, so she was secretly scanning and sensing the surrounding situation.

Apart from Zuo Qian, there was no one else there.

This put the tree spirit grandmother at ease a little.

As long as it wasn't sent by the imperial advisor, the tree demon wouldn't care.

After all, Grandma knew very well the weight of that Imperial Advisor in the court; even Grandpa Black Mountain had warned the tree demon not to provoke that Imperial Advisor.

Inside Lanruo Temple.

Yan Chixia couldn't help but look at Zuo Qianhu next door.

"Hey, sir, this place isn't clean. You'd better leave right away."

He couldn't help but speak up to remind him.

Upon hearing this, Commander Zuo opened his eyes and glanced at the room next door.

He smiled faintly and said, "The monk next door, don't say anything more. I know what I'm doing."

"Also, don't you dare ruin my plans later, or you'll be in big trouble."

Zuo Qianhu didn't forget to make a threat.

Yan Chixia, sitting next to him, rolled his eyes speechlessly upon hearing this.

"It's me who's meddling in other people's business."

He replied, then turned over and lay down to sleep.

Just pretend this person doesn't exist. Anyway, if we meet a ghost later, we'll get sucked dry by that old monster, so we deserve it.

"Woo~~"

Suddenly, a cold wind blew in from outside.

The door creaked open as the wind blew it open.

"Thump...thump—"

At that moment, the sound of a piano drifted in from outside.

"coming!"

Zuo Qianhu was overjoyed; finally, someone had shown up.

I thought it wouldn't happen.

Upon hearing the music, he knew that the female ghost he had been waiting for had appeared.

Moreover, he sensed not just one, but a whole group.

"A group of female ghosts!"

Yan Chixia suddenly sat up, but seeing Zuo Qianhu carrying a knife and going out next door, he lay down again.

"Never mind, the officials don't want me to meddle in their business."

He took out two talismans and stuffed them into his ears to block out the sound of the zither outside.

Ignore what you hear, and your heart will find peace!

Following the sound of the zither, Zuo Qianhu found his way to a waterside pavilion behind the pavilion.

Inside the pavilion, a woman in white was seen playing the zither.

Inside the pavilion, a group of female ghosts were dancing gracefully.

Upon seeing this scene, Zuo Qianhu's lips curled into a smile.

Okay, okay, it's not just Nie Xiaoqian.

The woman in purple who was dancing was none other than the female ghost Xiaoqing.

She was leading a group of female ghosts in a dance; their graceful movements, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden, inspired endless imagination.

"Grandpa, come on over~~"

"Grandpa, come quick!"

"Come quick~~"

Xiaoqing beckoned to Zuo Qianhu with her finger, exuding charm and allure.

Nie Xiaoqian, who was playing the zither, looked at him with a cold gaze and a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Another one is going to die in Grandma's mouth.

Zuo Qianhu walked over with a smile, carrying his sword.

Before he entered the water pavilion, he had already secretly released the Hundred Ghosts Banner.

"Bold monster!"

"How dare you tempt me, what is your punishment?"

A furious shout echoed throughout the entire Lanruo Temple.

The sudden turn of events startled all the female ghosts.

"Dang~!"

Nie Xiaoqian even broke one of the strings on her instrument.

Xiaoqing stumbled and fell to the ground, staring at the man in front of her in astonishment.

He recognized him?

"He figured it out."

"Go, capture him!"

Xiaoqing was annoyed; she had just been startled and immediately prepared to save face.

"Go back!"

Only Nie Xiaoqian screamed in terror and quickly flew out of the water pavilion.

"Want to run!"

Zuo Qianhu's lips curled slightly as he raised his hand and pulled.

"Fan~~Come!"

With a soft shout, the Hundred Ghost Banner above his head suddenly burst forth with endless black energy.

Boom~~

The next second, wisps of black mist enveloped the entire water pavilion.

"No~~"

"Ah...have mercy~~"

A suction force came, and all the female ghosts looked at the Hundred Ghosts Banner above their heads in great terror.
