Chapter 544 Guobei County
After all, Amber did not immediately go to Tianshi Dao with Zhang Qingshan, because the latter suddenly received a secret order from his master, asking him to go to the Western Frontier of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It is said that there seems to be some trouble there. People from the Demon Sect are killing people everywhere, and the court has suffered heavy losses.
Originally, this place was the territory of Buddhism and they should handle it. However, due to the death of several eminent monks such as Dragon Elephant Monk, there was turmoil within them.
Except for the area where the temple is located, other places are simply out of reach.
In this case, it seems logical to ask Daomen to take action.
The old heavenly master Zhang Yunhai opposed all opinions and insisted on letting Zhang Qingshan go to deal with it, and he happened to be beside the culprit who caused all this.
All I can say is that one drink and one peck are all determined by fate.
Amber herself is actually quite satisfied with this result. Although she doesn't object to the hardships on the mountain, why not continue to play?
Just take the calico cat on the road, shuttle between the mountains and rivers, and play in the world of mortals.
When he's thirsty, he drinks water from the stream, and when he's hungry, he eats wild fruits and game. As the days go by, Amber doesn't even want to go to Tianshi Tao right away.
At noon that day, he happened to stop in a small county called Guobei County. He casually found an inn to have dinner, and saw a scholar with a reserved look walking in outside.
The bamboo building behind him was wet, and the contents inside were still dripping with water.
After talking to the shopkeeper, when I took out the account book, the handwriting was completely unclear.
When the shopkeeper saw this, his teeth were crooked when he smiled.
It is natural to pay back debts, but if there is no account book, no wonder others default on their debts.
The poor scholar was thirsty and hungry, so he began to inquire about any place where he could stay for free. The innkeeper did not disappoint him, and directly said a name that made the whole inn become quiet.
Thirty miles outside the county, there is Lanruo Temple.
After the scholar foolishly left, they started talking about it.
No matter what he said, this stupid boy would probably lose his life there.
Amber read the whole thing on the table. He didn't react at first when he saw the three words Guobei County. When he saw Ning Caichen's melancholy and familiar face, he suddenly became happy.
I happened to be bored and went to find some fun.
Holding the calico cat in her arms, Amber followed him all the way out of the county. At first, there was nothing wrong, but as time went by, Ning Caichen noticed something unusual.
"Hey, I see you are dressed like a scholar, so why are you following me?"
"The road is facing the sky. Everyone goes to one side. Why do you say that I will follow you?"
Amber put her hand on Sanhua's head, and the latter slapped her lazily.
"I'm going to Lanruo Temple, are you going too?"
Ning Caichen said very straightforwardly.
"Yeah, I don't have money for accommodation either, so I want to spend the night there."
Amber nodded.
"That's it..."
The alert look on Ning Caichen's face disappeared, replaced by a naive smile, "How about I go with my brother?"
"OK."
Of course Amber wouldn't say no.
He wanted to see how beautiful Nie Xiaoqian was, who made the scholar fall in love at first sight. If it was really the same face in his memory, then it would be considered as fulfilling a wish.
"My younger brother's surname is Ning, Caichen. What's your surname, brother?"
"My last name is An Mingbai."
"Nice to meet you."
"I have admired you for a long time."
The two laughed awkwardly for a while, and Ning Caichen continued on his way. At the same time, he did not forget to ask: "Brother An, do you know why when I talk about Lanruo Temple to people, those people look like... the same..."
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a good adjective.
"Looks like you've seen a ghost?"
Amber asked with a smile.
"That's right, that's right."
Ning Caichen slapped his fist, "Brother An's words are really insightful."
"Hahaha, because there are ghosts there."
Amber laughed, as if she was talking about something trivial.
"Originally...originally what?"
Ning Caichen paused and asked stammeringly.
"I said there were ghosts there."
Amber repeated, then raised his head and said: "We, the scholars, have the awe-inspiring spirit in our chests. How can we be mere monsters and monsters? Could it be that, Brother Ning, you don't have the slightest bit of awe-inspiring spirit?"
"This... this... I... of course I do!"
Ning Caichen's face turned red, and he puffed out his thin chest and said: "After ten years of studying hard in the cold window, the awe in my heart is no less than that of Brother An!"
"Brother Ning!"
"Brother An!"
"Meow!"
After this mutual encouragement, the fear on Ning Caichen's face disappeared, replaced by a face full of righteousness.
This silly boy really believes it...
Amber walked behind and grinned. When she lowered her head, she happened to look into Sanhua's eyes.
The little kitten rolled her eyes, as if you were teasing her even though she was already stupid.
Amber looked cute, so she rubbed the cat's head angrily, causing a burst of gasping.
When night fell, the forest became dark. As if to prove his awe-inspiring intentions, Ning Caichen offered to lead the way.
Of course Amber would not refuse and just followed step by step.
From his perspective, he could clearly see that the opponent's legs were actually weak.
But at this moment, another wolf howl came in the night.
"Ouch"
Ning Caichen shivered, turned around stiffly and said, "Brother An, there is... there is a wolf!!"
"Don't be afraid. If we, the scholars, are good at cultivating the aura of awe-inspiring people, we will be protected by the sages."
Amber's words made Ning Caichen's face turn red, and it took him a long time to hold back a word.
"Brother An is right!!"
Having said this, people have come this far, and it is no longer possible to give up halfway.
Ning Caichen could only pray that he would not encounter a wolf.
Maybe his voice was really heard. Anyway, when the two of them arrived at the temple, they didn't see a single wolf.
Looking at the dilapidated temple and the huge stone tablet, Ning Caichen almost cried with joy.
"Brother An, what you said makes sense."
"Really? Let's go in quickly."
Amber patted him on the shoulder and walked into the temple that looked very ghostly.
Since the main hall had collapsed, the two had no choice but to continue moving forward, and did not stop until they saw the relatively complete Zen room.
"Let's deal with it here tonight."
An Bo said to Ning Caichen: "One on the left and one on the right. Let's share a room. There may be women here asking for help at night. Brother Ning, please remember the perseverance of my scholar."
"Brother An, are you looking down on me?"
Ning Caichen was a little scared at first, but after hearing this, he straightened up his chest and said: "My perseverance may not be worse than Brother An's!"
"Hahaha, that's good."
Amber laughed and came to the house on the right. The musty smell inside made him frown, and he felt much better after decisively turning off his sense of smell.
Sanhua looked at the extremely dirty ground with disgust and refused to get off him.
Amber rubbed the cat's head and started looking for firewood to prepare hot dry food.
On the other hand, would Ning Caichen collapse the wooden board or break something, leaving his whole body covered in dust?
But fortunately, he had also experienced wild survival. After getting firewood, everything became smoother.
At this moment, the moon outside has been hidden for some time.
The night is getting deeper.
