Ning Caichen's eyes were attracted by the painting in front of him, it was a picture of a beautiful woman washing her hair, and the most important thing was that the woman in the painting was eight or nine points similar to Nie Xiaoqian, which made him think about buying it.

"Yo, this son, your taste is really high, make a price. ”

Seeing that there was business coming to the door, I looked at Ning Caichen's dress, although he was dressed in a Confucian shirt, but he wore a silver gold silk belt around his waist, and there was a kind of extravagance and elegance on his body.

The boss is a literati who looks to be in his forties, with a fan stuck in the back of his neck, a plaster on the right temple, a mustache, a little long face, squinting eyes, this smile, the eyes are almost narrowed into a line, always giving people a feeling of thief eyebrows, I'm afraid that if it's a girl's family, I may be scared away by this guy.

"What price do you give?"

Retracting his gaze from the painting, Ning Caichen asked the boss rhetorically.

"Two silver coins. The boss groaned and quoted a price.

"A silver coin. Ning Caichen counteroffered.

"This is not good, a silver coin, the price is too low, childe, you are also a person who knows the goods, although this painting is not from the hands of everyone, but it is definitely a fine picture, a silver coin is too cheap. "The boss only felt that his teeth were sore, the bargaining price of this product was too fierce, and he cut it in half at once, and his heart ached.

"A silver coin. Ning Caichen raised a finger and was resolute.

"One and a half silver coins. The boss gritted his teeth and made a concession.

"Forget it. ”

Ning Caichen turned around and wanted to leave.

"Eh, don't! Don't, Childe stays, the price is negotiable, a silver coin is a silver coin." Seeing that Ning Caichen was about to leave, the boss was anxious, and finally a big customer came, he didn't want to let the other party go like this: "A silver coin, just according to what the son said." ”

"Hehe, you should have given this price a long time ago. ”

Ning Caichen smiled, and finally bought it with a silver coin, and then led the white horse around the street, bought some things, and finally walked in the direction of Lanruo Temple.

"Brother Yan!"

Entering a courtyard of Lanruo Temple, Ning Caichen called Yan Chixia loudly.

"Why are you back again, aren't you gone?"

The window of the pavilion was opened, Yan Chixia looked at Ning Caichen and frowned, watching Ning Caichen leave in the morning, he thought that Ning Caichen was ready to leave.

"I went to the city and bought something, come, and talk while eating. ”

Ning Caichen smiled, untied the things on the horse's back, this is the meat and vegetables bought in the restaurant, and then untied the last two remaining pots of wine, and threw one pot to Yan Chixia by the window, this is what he specially brought when he came out of Chenxian, a total of more than a dozen pots, but now there are only two pots left.

"Good wine. ”

Yan Chixia is also a wine lover, took the wine jug, asked about the aroma of the wine, and took a sip directly and praised.

Of course it's good wine, Ning Caichen said in his heart, for the original wine of this world, he has drunk it, it is difficult to eat, and it has a sour and astringent taste, which may be the last thing to deal with, naturally, it can't be compared with what Ning Caichen made, tie the horse's reins to a tree outside the yard, and walk up to the attic with things.

Drinking and eating, although I ate a meal in the Chenxian restaurant in the morning, it is already noon, and the people who practice martial arts have a large demand for food, so there is no situation where they can't eat.

"Come, Brother Yan, have a drink. ”

"Dry. ”

After taking a sip, Yan Chixia took another piece of beef and stuffed it into her mouth.

"You saw that female ghost last night. After taking a bite, Yan Chixia asked.

"Well, I saw you, Nie Xiaoqian. ”

"You didn't make a move?" Yan Chixia stared at Ning Caichen.

"Why do you want to make a move?" Ning Caichen asked rhetorically.

"She's a ghost. Yan Chixia reminded, looking straight at Ning Caichen with her eyes, as if she wanted to see through Ning Caichen's thoughts.

"It's just an identity. Ning Caichen took a sip of wine and said, "She's a ghost, but it's not my reason to make a move." ”

"Demons can hurt people. Yan Chixia reminded that he was worried about whether Ning Caichen was confused by the female ghost.

"Wouldn't people harm people?" Ning Caichen said: "Sometimes people hurt people more than ghosts, isn't Brother Yan also because of this to avoid the world and stay in Lanruo Temple willingly? Ghosts or people, there are good and bad, people are good and bad, ghosts are also good and bad, people are evil, and they want to kill, but what about ghosts, do they have to kill whether they are good or bad, just because they are ghosts?"

Yan Chixia was silent, Ning Caichen's words touched his heart, he really hadn't thought about this aspect carefully before, thinking that as long as it was a demon or a ghost, it was not a good thing.

"Although Xiao Qian harmed people, she was also persecuted by the old tree demon, and she couldn't help herself, and to really put it mildly, she didn't kill anyone, they were all killed by the old demon, even if she wanted to kill it, she should have killed the tree demon. ”

"This time, I want to rescue Xiaoqian. ”

After a pause, Ning Caichen said again, Yan Chixia's eyes were raised, and he looked at Ning Caichen for a while, but he didn't speak, and Ning Caichen didn't explain anything, he said this, just to give Yan Chixia a preventive shot, because Yan Chixia's concept of the distinction between humans and ghosts is very heavy, and he was worried that when he finally dealt with the tree demon, this guy would deal with Nie Xiaoqian together.

"You've thought about it, people and ghosts have different paths. Yan Chixia reminded.

"People and ghosts have different paths, but I believe more in my own heart, and what my heart points to, is the way I want to go. ”

Yan Chixia was silent, he had the heart to admonish Ning Caichen, people and ghosts have different paths, and it is difficult to have a good end together, but when the words come to his mouth, he can't say anything.

"When I was with Xiao Qian last night, I always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching in secret, I suspected that it was the old monster, maybe he heard me and Xiao Qian's words, maybe he would do something to me tonight. ”

"How do I do it. ”

"I'm afraid the old demon can't sit still, Xiao Qian should come to me tonight, maybe the old demon will come back too, you find a place to hide, and when the old demon shows up, let's do it." ”

"Good. ”

Yan Chixia responded, very simply

At night, the wind and rain did not stop, it rained, ticking down from the sky, and the rain on the roof gathered into a stream of water that flowed down from the eaves. It was already completely dark, and in the attic, Ning Caichen lit the oil lamp, and his eyes stayed on the picture scroll spread out on the table, which was the picture he bought during the day.

"Knock Knock Knock"

In the middle of the night, the rain stopped, and there was a knock on the door downstairs.
