496: C496 There Is a Tiger in the Mountain

C496 There Is a Tiger in the Mountain

The young man stood rooted to the ground, silent for a long time.

It was only when the shopkeeper led the waiter forward with an unfriendly and mocking expression and shouted for him to hurry up and get lost that the young man finally realized what had just happened.

When he opened the account book and saw that the ink had been soaked, he had guessed that the shopkeeper would go back on his word. This was something that he had expected.

However, a mighty young general was willing to lend a hand and seek justice for him. This was something he did not expect.

He did not expect that after this, something even more unexpected would happen. That general actually took his money and left. . .

"This world has already fallen to this point? There is no good person left. . . "

The young man's heart was filled with sorrow.

"Why aren't you getting lost?"

Amidst the manager's clamoring, the young man carried his luggage with a desolate expression and walked out of the inn. Although the rain had already stopped, the gloominess in his heart did not reduce in the slightest. He looked at the endless stream of people on the street and instead became even denser, and the pressure in his heart was extremely heavy.

In his heart, other than complaining about this world, he also felt uneasy about his future. He did not have the money to go back and was very hungry. He had to go back to the Treasure Gathering House for three days. Was he going to beg all the way back? In any case, he was a scholar. . .

When he passed by an alley, a big hand suddenly covered his mouth and pulled the young man into the alley. The young man wanted to resist, but he had no strength at all. The owner of the hands was too strong, almost crushing him, making him unable to resist.

“……！！！”

The young man widened his eyes. He realized that he had been taken to a corner of the alley. The person who had kidnapped him was the general who had taken his silver from the inn.

"We meet again. . . "

Chu Yun had a faint smile on his face. Seeing the young man's frightened face, he slapped the seventy taels of silver into the young man's hand. Then he let go of the young man's mouth and said, "Don't scream. "

The young man had a blank look on his face. He looked at the silver in his hand and then at the young general in front of him. He was extremely surprised and did not know what to say for a moment. "You. . . I. . . This money. . . "

He thought to himself, Could it be that Chu Yun suddenly realized his conscience and felt that it was not right to rob him of the money, so he returned the money? But on second thought, it was completely impossible. . .

"Do you want to know why I made this deal?"

Chu Yun raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile: "If you take these seventy taels of silver and walk out in broad daylight, I promise you that you will immediately know how the last person who came here to collect the debt died. A man who is not guilty of having a treasure is guilty of having it. You will not be able to keep these taels of silver. "

“……”

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man's pupils shrank. Then, he immediately realized that Chu Yun had put in a lot of effort. For a moment, he was shocked and extremely grateful. He immediately bowed to Chu Yun and said, "Thank you, General, for saving my life. Thank you, General!"

At that time, in the inn, dozens of guests had seen the process of the scholar collecting the debt. If he left with seventy taels of silver just like that, then when he left the county, he would definitely meet the person who robbed him. There was a high chance that the last person who came to collect the debt would die like this.

Chu Yun's actions first snatched his silver on the surface, then returned it secretly. On the surface, this young man was a penniless pauper. Naturally, he would not be targeted by those greedy people. Only by leaving would he be able to keep his life.

When he thought about how he had felt in his heart just now, When he thought of the resentment he felt towards Chu Yun, the young man's ears turned red. He felt ashamed in his heart, and he only wanted to slap himself twice.

And he had indeed done the same thing. He slapped himself on the face. Chu Yun was so fast that he didn't even have time to react. He hurriedly stopped his hand and said: "What are you doing. . . "

"I misunderstood Benefactor earlier and scolded Benefactor in my heart. You were fighting for justice for me in the inn, and you didn't hesitate to tarnish your reputation. You pretended to rob money to help me get rid of those villains. You are truly one of the most chivalrous people in the world, but I was still cursing Benefactor in my heart. You deserve to be beaten! You deserve to be beaten. . . "

As the young man spoke, he wanted to slap himself again, but Chu Yun smiled bitterly and stopped him. He said, "If I don't come this time, how can you know that I have put in a lot of effort? If you really know, don't you know how to read minds? Alright, alright, there's no need to do that. "

As he spoke, Chu Yun smiled. He said, "As for tarnishing your reputation, you don't have to worry about it. I will only stay here for one night before leaving. What does everyone think of me? So what? You, on the other hand, have already accepted the bill. Leave quickly. It is not safe here. You're just a weak scholar from a foreign land. Who knows when you'll lose your life. "

"Thank you, benefactor. . . "

The young man expressed his gratitude again. Then, he sighed and said, "You are right. I should leave as soon as possible. It is still early. I will leave now. "

He bowed deeply to Chu Yun to express his gratitude. "I, Ning Caichen, am the accountant of the Treasure Gathering House in Yongyang County. Benefactor, if you go to Yongyang County at any time, please come to the Treasure Gathering House to look for me. I will do my best as a host. . . "

"No problem, no problem. "

Chu Yun smiled. Seeing that the young man was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something. "Wait a minute. . . "

"Benefactor, what else do you have to tell me?"

The young man turned around.

"You said. . . Your name is Ning Caichen? Which Caichen? Which official?"

Chu Yun asked with a strange expression.

Ning Caichen was stunned for a moment, then answered truthfully, "The harvest is the harvest, and this official is a loyal official. "

"It really is Ning Caichen. . . "

Chu Yun felt even stranger in his heart. Seeing Ning Caichen looking at him with a puzzled look, he slowly exhaled and nodded with a smile. He said, "It's fine. I have mistaken him for someone else. You. . . Be careful on the way. "

"Thank you, benefactor!"

A smile appeared on Ning Caichen's face, and he hurriedly nodded in response. Then, he tightly packed the silver and immediately turned around to leave.

He had originally planned to leave immediately after receiving the payment and return to Yongyang County's Treasure Gathering House. After experiencing these things, his heart to return to his hometown became even stronger, and he only wanted to leave immediately.

Chu Yun looked at his back as he left, and the emotions in his heart became more and more strange. After a while, he also walked out of the alley and came to the street. He stopped a local and asked, "Brother, may I ask if there is a temple nearby called Lanruo Temple?"

. . . "Lan Ruo Temple?!"

When the passerby heard this, he immediately widened his eyes and cried out in shock.

When the surrounding locals heard these three words, they all looked at Chu Yun with exaggerated expressions, as if he had said some terrifying taboo.

Seeing the reaction of the crowd, Chu Yun immediately understood what was going on. There must be an existence of Lanruo Temple near this small town. In their impression, this temple was a very terrifying place.

As for the passerby who was stopped by Chu Yun, he had already taken a few steps back with a face full of fear, as if he was afraid of being entangled by something unclean.

Seeing this, Chu Yun asked straightforwardly: "I dare to ask. How far is Lan Ruo Temple from here? How do we proceed?"

. . . "I don't know, you can ask someone else!"

That person's face was filled with fear as he turned around to leave.

Chu Yun frowned slightly. The sword at his waist had already been unsheathed. It was lightly placed on his neck. He did not speak but stared at him quietly.

"Aiyo, please spare my life, General!"

The passerby was instantly terrified. Even though he was unwilling, he could only reply, "Lan, Lan Ruo Temple, three miles east of Qing Quan County, there is a very gloomy ancient temple! However, that place is not a good place. It is haunted! Those who have been there are basically all dead! "

Chu Yun exhaled slowly when he heard that. The corner of his mouth curled into a faint arc as he smiled bitterly. He did not expect that it was really. . .

He put the sword back into the sheath and took out a piece of silver. He threw it to the passerby as a small compensation. The passerby took the money and looked happy. He looked at Chu Yun, who looked like he wanted to go. He wanted to say something but did not. In the end, he did not say anything.

"It's hard to persuade a damn ghost. He wants to go to that place and seek death. No one can stop him. . . "

The passerby thought in his heart, then happily returned home.

On the other side, Chu Yun walked back to the inn and went to his room. He took the long spear and went to the stable to ride a good horse that was safe and sound.

After leaving the city, he headed east and headed straight for Lan Ruo Temple.0

It was also until today, when he met Ning Caichen and heard of Lan Ruo Temple's reputation, that Chu Yun found out that the world in which the brush went back in time was actually the backdrop world of the ghost girl.

In this world, there were many demons and devils. For example, the ghost girl who seduced men in Lanruo Temple, as well as the messenger behind the scenes of Lanruo Temple, the thousand-year-old Tree Demon Grandma.

This was a classic movie that had been around for a very long time. Chu Yun had also forgotten most of its plot. He could only vaguely remember that there was a terrifying Thousand Year Old Tree Demon in the Lanruo Temple who kept a few beautiful female ghosts under her control.

These female ghosts would appear at night and seduce men. Once those men were hooked, their minds would be confused by the female ghosts. Then, the old tree demon would appear and suck these men dry and absorb their Yang energy.

Speaking of which. . .

The old tree demon's action of absorbing Yang energy was similar to the demonic path that Chu Yun had killed, using the female corpses to absorb Yin energy. It was the same, both of them belonged to the category of demons and devils.

At this moment, the reason why Chu Yun knew that there was a tiger on the mountain that was leaning towards the tiger mountain was because he knew that he had already entered the main storyline of this world.

The opportunity to change the world and save the world would definitely be related to the Lanruo Temple. Perhaps it would be related to killing demons and the like. Since Chu Yun came here to save the world, he naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity.

"Speaking of which, I seemed to have done something that could change the course of the world. . . . I have expelled Ning Caichen, the male lead!

Originally, he had no choice but to go to Lanruo Temple for a night because he did not get the money. After that, he triggered all the plot later on. And because of my help, Ning Caichen went back after getting the money, so he would not appear in Lanruo Temple again. The entire plot has changed from the beginning. . . "

Chu Yun smiled bitterly and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After a while, he thought in a strange way, "But even if the plot has changed from the root, The system didn't give any hints, nor did it say that the process of the world has changed. [Does this mean that in the background of the world of the Thousand Ghost. . . ] Ning Caichen's actions have no effect on any of the world's trends?"

Thinking of this, Chu Yun shook his head, feeling a little heartache for Ning Caichen.

However. . .

Even though he knew Ning Caichen's identity, Chu Yun still felt that it would be best for Ning Caichen to return to Yongyang County to be his accountant. After all, it was not a good thing for a poor scholar like Ning Caichen to be caught up in the chaos of ghosts and gods.

Chu Yun rode along the official road towards the east. After walking for three miles, the sky had darkened and dark clouds covered the sky.

"What a heavy Demonic Ghost Qi, the sky here is getting dark earlier than anywhere else. . . "

Chu Yun narrowed his eyes, feeling that this place was extraordinary.

The good horse under him also couldn't help but shiver, as if it was very resistant to moving forward. Chu Yun comforted it a little, then transferred a part of the Yang Qi into the horse. Only then did it return to normal, cautiously taking small steps and entering the dense forest ahead.

As they walked deeper into the forest, the sky became darker and darker. Soon, dense forest fog rose up, blurring the vision of the surroundings. In the distance, wolf howls rose and fell, approaching from afar. The howls and cries kept on ringing.

If an ordinary person were to walk alone in the forest, he would have wet his pants in fear. However, Chu Yun did not have the slightest reaction.

He rode on his horse and continued to walk forward. Not long after, there was a rustling sound behind him. Chu Yun did not even turn his head to take a look before he thrust his horse back.

Gengci!

There was a clear sound of a spear piercing into flesh. Chu Yun raised a wild wolf with his spear and threw it with all his might, throwing the wild wolf's corpse towards the few approaching wild wolves on the other side.

Obviously, the wild wolf that Chu Yun killed should be the wolf king of the pack. At this moment, the wolf king was dead. The remaining wolves could no longer hold themselves back and scattered in all directions.

"A motley crew. "

Chu Yun shook his head and continued forward on his horse.

Not long after, he found the outline of an ancient temple in the forest in front of him. Walking forward, a stone tablet that had experienced the vicissitudes of life appeared in front of Chu Yun. There were three big words carved on the stone tablet. It was the most terrifying temple in this world.

Lan Ruo Temple.
