Fangzheng and the others learned what had happened here from the tearful complaints of the town residents.
Originally, this was just an ordinary town. Everyone lived and worked in peace. But two or three years ago, a lot of strange things suddenly happened here. The game that the farmers hunted in the mountains became fewer and fewer, and even the well water became much less. At that time, everyone thought it was just a temporary difficulty, so they didn't take it too seriously.
But unexpectedly, after a period of time, the situation became more and more serious. Not only could they not find any game in the mountains, even the well water had dried up. Everyone became anxious. If there was no water, there was no way for them to live!
However, when it rains, it pours. While the people in the town were still worried about how to get water, the town began to be haunted again! Female ghosts would appear in the town at night from time to time, and every time these female ghosts appeared, someone would die. This made the town residents angry and afraid, but they couldn't do anything about these female ghosts. They could only try their best to get some talismans, idols, and the like to place them in their homes.
But it was useless. The situation was still getting worse. Now, those female ghosts even came out to attack people in the daytime!
"Didn't you find someone to kill the demons?"
Lin Yueru frowned and asked curiously after hearing the comments of the town residents. Hearing her words, the mayor sitting in front of her slapped his thigh excitedly.
"Why didn't we find someone? We've pooled money several times to hire those senior monks and Taoist priests. We did hire a few people, but they didn't come down after going up the mountain! Instead, those demons became more and more rampant. Now we don't have any money left in our town, so we can't hire any experts! "
"Do you know what's on the mountain?"
Zhao Linger also asked. The town residents looked at each other, and then an old man said, "I heard that there's a temple called Lanruo Temple on the mountain.
"I heard that there's a temple on the mountain called Lanruo Temple. Rumor has it that it's the home of ghosts and monsters, but most of us wouldn't go up the mountain for no reason..."
Okay, Lanruo Temple …
Hearing this, Fangzheng calmed down. Even The Legend of the White Snake had entered the Legend of the Sword and Fairy world. What was so strange about a Chinese Ghost of a Beautiful Woman? There might even be Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio and Journey to the West … Oh, Journey to the West was unlikely.
However, it was obvious that this Lanruo Temple was not on the same level as the Lanruo Temple in A Chinese Ghost Story that Fangzheng knew of. At least according to the mayor, they had invited a few experts, but all of them failed. Fangzheng was too lazy to ask if Yan Chixia was inside. No matter what, even if this dungeon was overturned, it would not be a problem for him.
Needless to say, the drought here was most likely caused by the Great Demon Beast with the Water Spirit Bead. Zhao Linger also thought so. After all, the Water Spirit Pearl could manipulate water, so it was not difficult for it to create such a drought.
Speaking of which, shouldn't this be the style of Miaojiang?
Forget it, I'll just treat it as a rehearsal before going to the Miao Territory. In any case, I still have to solve the drought problem when I go to the Miao Territory. When I get the Water Spirit Bead back, letting Zhao Linger practice here first is also a good choice.
Now that they had confirmed the location of their destination, they naturally set off for the mountain. But before that, they still had to solve the problem of eating. Because of "airsickness", Lin Yu 'eru had not eaten anything along the way, so her stomach was already growling with hunger.
Of course, Fangzheng would not order his servants to work for free, so he readily took out instant noodles and ham sausages for lunch.
Zhao Linger had eaten these things in the past few days with Fangzheng, but this was the first time that Lin Yu 'eru had seen them. She immediately picked up the bowl of instant noodles and ate them happily. She felt that she could make a movie called "Lin Yu' eru Who Loves Instant Noodles".
Fangzheng really wanted to take a picture of this scene and post it on the Internet, such as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy's New Filming Begins, Beautiful Photos of Lin Yu 'eru's Character" or something … It would definitely earn a lot of clicks.
After the meal, they rested for a while, then went straight up the mountain. Of course, before they left, the residents of the small town could not help but thank Fangzheng and his party profusely, thanking them for their chivalry and courage to fight demons and monsters … After all, they had no money at the moment, and the strength that Fangzheng and his party had just shown was much stronger than that of the "masters" they had invited before. If they did not say something nice, it would not make sense, would it?
After all, it was free to say something nice.
The whole mountain looked even weirder than the town below. There were dense forests everywhere. Although there were no clouds above their heads, the sunlight was quite dim, to the point that it was hard to see clearly. The group walked along the mountain path and stopped from time to time. It did not take them too long to reach the gate of Lanruo Temple.
Due to the long history, Fangzheng could not remember what the Lanruo Temple in the A Chinese Ghost Story looked like, but this Lanruo Temple fit his impression of it very well. The whole temple was dilapidated and old, the plaque at the gate was stained with cobwebs, and the steps were covered with dust. It was obvious that no one had been here for a long time.
"Master, I can feel a strong demonic energy."
Zhao Linger stared at the Lanruo Temple in front of her with a solemn expression and asked softly.
"What should we do next?"
"What should we do?"
Hearing Zhao Linger's question, Fangzheng smiled slightly. However, before he could say anything, Lin Yu 'eru had already picked up her long sword and rushed forward.
"Do you even need to ask? These demons have brought disaster to the village, so they naturally have no choice but to die."
Lin Yu 'eru rushed to the gate of the temple and kicked it open.
"How dare you, demon! Come out and die!"
"Ahh!!"
However, before Lin Yueru could finish her sentence, they heard a scream. Then, they saw a young man dressed like a scholar with a basket on his back stand up in shock. He stared at them with his mouth agape and eyes wide open.
"Who, who are you people? What did he want to do? I don't have any money for you! “
"… Who are you?"
Looking at the scholar, Lin Yueru was taken aback. However, she didn't let down her guard. Instead, she tightened her grip on her sword and waved it in front of the scholar. Looking at the gleaming blade before him, the scholar hurriedly replied in fear.
"My, my name is Ning Caichen. I was sent here to collect debts … You, you, you all have hands and feet. Why do you want to be a bandit?"
"Who said we were bandits?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yueru was immediately infuriated. She no longer had any pride in front of Fangzheng, but she would not stand on ceremony with other men.
"We're here to vanquish demons! Tell me, are you a demon!! "
"Ahhhh, spare me, I'm just a scholar …"
