The heavens start from Maoshan

Chapter 183 High-end Hunter
The next morning.

Ning Caichen left with his luggage on his back, Zhang Heng sent him out of the mountain gate, and said: "I advise you to go and never return."

Ning Caichen nodded repeatedly.

No matter how stupid he is, he can still see that Lanruo Temple is not clean and is not a place to stay for a long time.

If Zhang Heng dared to stay, it was his ability.

Those who have no ability will be like Scarface, who will not know how to die.

"Grandma Tree!"

Ning Caichen was sent away.

Zhang Heng couldn't help but glanced at the back of the temple.

into the eye.

There is a towering ancient tree behind the temple. Its crown is so big that it almost covers half of the temple, like a giant umbrella soaring into the sky.

This is the body of Grandma Shu, the thousand-year-old locust tree.

The locust tree is also known as the ghost tree.

It has the ability to gather and shelter yin, and is born with the ability to attract lonely souls.

It is precisely because of this tree that the rear of Lanruo Temple becomes a mass grave.

Because this place is very suitable for burial, when there were still monks in Lanruo Temple, the monks would chant scriptures under the tree to save the souls of the dead in the mass graves.

It's a pity that there was an extermination of Buddha 300 years ago, and the monks fled in all directions and never came back. Lanruo Temple declined and became the domain of tree demons ever since.

"Grandma Tree is strong, but she is bulky and unable to move. To me, it is like a living target. I think it is not difficult to deal with it. What is difficult is that behind Grandma Tree, there is an old black mountain demon enshrined by it. .”

Although Grandma Shu is a demon king.

But there is an old Heishan demon behind it, and the old Heishan demon is enshrined by it and will protect it.

So in times of crisis, Grandma Tree can summon the old Black Mountain demon.

That old demon, whose main body was transformed by Wannian Black Mountain, has reached the limit of human strength, and can manifest in the world of the sun at any time.

Now that Yan Chixia is not here, Zhang Heng doesn't want to provoke it.

after all.

The body of the Montenegrin old demon is a mountain.

It is difficult for Dashan to awaken the true spirit, but once awakened, the heels are not comparable to ordinary beasts and tree spirits. At the same level, mana, defense, attack, and various attributes are much stronger than ordinary monsters.

Zhang Heng guessed that the cultivation level of the Black Mountain old demon should be at the perfect level of harmony.

But his attribute panel is probably no less luxurious than Sanxian.

Ordinary monsters, taking Grandma Shu as an example, if its mana is 100 when it reaches the Dao Realm, the Black Mountain old demon must have 150.

Don't look at it's only 50 more, it doesn't seem like much.

In fact, five tree grandmas are not enough to fight the Black Mountain old demon. If the tree grandma and the nine-tailed demon king are considered elite bosses, the Montenegro old demon is an epic level, and this kind of dungeon is difficult to clear alone.

夜晚
"Son."

As soon as it got dark, Nie Xiaoqian came.

She was holding a tray in her hand, on which was a jug of wine, two steamed buns, and three dishes of side dishes.

"For me?"

Zhang Heng glanced at the food and drink, but didn't do anything.

"Son."

Nie Xiaoqian put down her things and suddenly knelt down: "Please help me, my lord."

"save you?"

Zhang Heng was expressionless.

Nie Xiaoqian looked sad and cried: "I am originally the daughter of an official family. A year ago, I followed my father from the capital to take office in the neighboring Guonan County. I didn't want to be attacked by bandits halfway, so I had to kill myself to keep my innocence.

After my death, my father buried my ashes in the mass grave behind Lanruo Temple.

Unexpectedly, the mass grave has been occupied by the thousand-year-old tree demon, and my urn fell into the hands of the tree demon. It used this to control me, and let me seduce passers-by for it and murder its life.

But I didn't really obey it. Over the past year, I let go of many innocent people, and only attacked the bloody villains. Please be merciful, sir, and save me. "

Zhang Heng remained unmoved: "And then?"

Nie Xiaoqian lowered her head and wept: "On the fifteenth day of this month, Grandma Shu will marry me to the old Heishan demon as his concubine. I will be devoured by it after liking the new and dislike the old, if it falls into its hands, I am afraid I will never be reborn."

"Never be reborn!"

Zhang Heng nodded: "It's too pitiful!"

Uh.
Nie Xiaoqian looked at Zhang Heng cautiously.

As a result, Zhang Heng said something so pitiful that he fell silent, and didn't say anything about saving her.

After waiting for a while, but before Zhang Heng could express his opinion, Nie Xiaoqian hurriedly said again: "Young master, Grandma Shu has no good intentions in letting you stay here. She is very afraid of you and Yan Chixia, and is going to invite the old black mountain demon to deal with you." .”

Zhang Heng looked at Nie Xiaoqian quietly, making her feel terrified.

Just when Nie Xiaoqian felt that she should say something, Zhang Heng said, "Then what should I do?"

"My family is willing to help you. If Grandma Shu invites the old black mountain demon, I will report to you in advance. I only hope that you can take Xiaoqian with you when you leave. Xiaoqian is willing to stay with you and serve as a slave to repay you. Kindness."

Nie Xiaoqian was crying with pear blossoms in the rain, and looked at him wanting to refuse or welcome.

Zhang Heng was unmoved.

He didn't say to leave, he didn't say to stay, let alone bring Nie Xiaoqian with him.

Nie Xiaoqian's heart was pounding more and more, and she whispered: "Young master, if you have other ideas, you can talk to the slave family. The slave family is quite favored by Grandma Shu. I basically know everything about Grandma Shu. I can help you refer to the details."

all know?
The playfulness in Zhang Heng's eyes was even stronger.

If he remembered correctly, Nie Xiaoqian said just now that she fell into Grandma Shu's hands a year ago.

In terms of time, she has not been with Grandma Shu for a long time, and she is the shortest among all the female ghosts.

But she is the most favored, and she knows a lot about Grandma Shu, so the question is, why is she favored, and how does she know those things?
It's hard to think about it.

"You go down first. Today is the second day of July, and it's still early until the fifteenth day of July. Let me think about what you said."

Zhang Heng was vague.

Nie Xiaoqian had no choice but to walk away step by step.

After she leaves.

Zhang Heng glanced at the food and wine on the table, smiled coldly, and didn't take a bite.

a little.

Inside the Tree Spirit Pavilion.

"Grandma, this servant has already expressed his loyalty to that man according to your instructions, and even said that he did not want to marry the old demon of Heishan, and begged him to take me away from Lanruo Temple, but he seemed very hard-hearted, and only said that it was still too early, and he still had to think about it." After a few days, I sent the servant back, and I don’t trust the servant’s words very much.”

Go back to Shuling Pavilion.

Nie Xiaoqian stepped forward and beat Grandma Shu on the shoulder.

Grandma Shu's gaze was lightning, and her voice was half male and half female: "Have you ever found out why he came to Lanruo Temple to look for Yan Chixia?"

"Not found yet."

Nie Xiaoqian knelt on the ground: "Please punish me, grandma."

"Get up, you work hard, how can I punish you?"

Grandma Shu smiled, "I asked someone to order two sets of wedding dresses, and I will let Xiaoqing accompany you to try them on and see if they fit."

"Thank you grandma."

Nie Xiaoqian retreated respectfully.

to the door.

Xiaoqing is already waiting here.

She could hear the conversation in the room clearly, and when she saw Nie Xiaoqian coming out, a jealous look flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, bet on both ends, be careful."

Nie Xiaoqian frowned slightly: "I don't know what you're talking about."

"do not know?"

Xiaoqing has been with Grandma Shu for many years, and used to be Grandma Shu's favorite maid.

Since Nie Xiaoqian came, her status has plummeted, and she has been waiting for Nie Xiaoqian's unlucky day: "Don't think that you are the only one who is smart, and everyone else is a fool. If I guess correctly, if that person is willing to take you out of Lanruo Temple , I'm afraid you will follow him eagerly?"

"Your thoughts at that time were not mine."

Nie Xiaoqian snorted coldly: "I am loyal to grandma. If grandma says one thing, I will never say another word. Those words are just tricks to gain his trust. Now even you think I am going to betray grandma. It seems my trick Very successful."

Xiaoqing's gaze was even colder: "You know whether it's true, false, or half-truth, but I advise you to die as soon as possible. Your birth date has been sent to Master Heishan, even if you run to At the ends of the earth, you can't escape the palm of Master Montenegro."

Hear this.

Nie Xiaoqian's eyebrows brightened, and she looked Xiaoqing up and down: "Master Heishan? Xiaoqing, you are very loyal to the old demon of Heishan. You are very loyal to the old demon of Heishan. If you don't know, you may think that you are going to marry him!"

After finishing speaking, her voice became colder: "Grandma really loves you for nothing after raising a white-eyed wolf."

scare! !

Xiaoqing's face changed instantly, and she subconsciously glanced at the Shuling Pavilion with the door closed.

You know, although Grandma Shu is in name, she is a subordinate who pays tribute to the old demon of Montenegro.

But in fact, Grandma Shu has long been in harmony with the old demon of Montenegro, but her strength is not enough, so she has to maintain her superficial skills.

Nie Xiaoqian's words can be described as murderous.

Xiaoqing is the right and left maid by Grandma Shu's side. If she has a heart for Master Heishan, can Grandma Shu still keep her?

"Is this afraid?"

"You are so timid, why do you fight with me?"

Seeing the fear in Xiaoqing's eyes, Nie Xiaoqian put on a look of pity, and reached out to touch Xiaoqing's face: "A phoenix is ​​a phoenix, and a chicken is a chicken. Flying on a branch can't change your essence. With your little ability, Even if I marry the Black Mountain old demon, you can't take my place, so let's die as soon as possible."

Xiaoqing was ashamed and angry.

But before she could refute, Grandma Shu's voice came from the Shuling Pavilion: "Xiaoqian, don't scare Xiaoqing, go try on the wedding dress, if it doesn't fit, I'll let someone change it."

Nie Xiaoqian smiled coldly at Xiaoqing, then bowed respectfully in the direction of Shuling Pavilion: "Yes, grandma."

at the same time.

Zhang Heng looked at the water mirror in the tea bowl, read the lips of the two, and whispered: "Interesting!"

A Chinese Ghost Story is a movie.

But under the film, a lot is hidden.

The first is Nie Xiaoqian, she was born in a family of officials, and what she sees the most is intrigue.

This has become one of her skills just like piano skills, calligraphy and painting.

Is she really as simple and beautiful as Ning Caichen said in the movie?
Beautiful for sure.

I'm afraid it's not necessarily simple.

Zhang Heng likes to analyze problems from the perspective of interests.

A Chinese Ghost Story, Ning Caichen, Yan Chixia, Grandma Shu, Montenegro, and Nie Xiaoqian.

Whose interests are maximized?

It's Nie Xiaoqian.

She changed her fate of marrying the Montenegrin old demon and calmly reincarnated.

This woman is of high rank.

This can be seen in many places.

For example, the suppression of Xiaoqing, the hint to Ning Caichen, and the cry to Yan Chixia.

For different people, she has different faces, and she is comprehensive and can switch freely.

If you look at it from the perspective of Gongdouju, for this position, you need a noble concubine to start.

In this regard, Zhang Heng thought of a sentence.

High-end hunters often appear in the image of prey.
