I asked you to play the dungeon, but you are here to raise the BOSS?

midnight

From about eleven o'clock in the evening to one o'clock the next day, it is the time when Yin and Yang meet, when water and fire meet.

At this time, the gate of hell suddenly opens, and hundreds of ghosts walk at night.

It is the most gloomy time of the day.

There is nothing you can do about being dragged on by your girlfriend. If you can choose a craft job on your own, it is best not to choose it at this time.

After all, that kind of thing mainly relies on yang energy.

When the yin energy is at its heaviest, if you insist on releasing the yang energy, your vitality may be damaged.

Unless he is the kind of macho man who has endless yang energy every day...

Otherwise, it's best to err on the side of caution.

If you really have this need, you'd better hold on and wait until two or three o'clock before starting.

***

There are no snakes, insects, birds or beasts around Lanruo Temple, probably because of the tree demons.

At night, the fields are empty and completely silent.

Lin Xuan briefly cleaned the room, then opened the window and blew out all the accumulated dust.

After looking around and looking around, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged on the couch.

A normal scholar should be sleeping at this time.

However, the character Lin Xuan created in front of the monster should be that of a well-known young knight who traveled around the world.

Being young, full of energy, and located in the middle of nowhere, it would be strange to fall asleep.

"It's almost time. It's time for the female ghost to come, right?"

"Although Grandma Dryad has no martial virtue, she shouldn't knock on the door personally at this time."

Judging from the movie, Grandma Dryad is quite particular.

Most of the people who come here to stay overnight are mortals of low strength.

It's the kind that the tree demon grandma can suck dry with just a poke of her tongue.

But Grandma Dryad always insisted on arranging for the female ghost to send her deathbed benefits!

It not only distracts the opponent's energy, but also consumes the opponent's physical strength, and then kills the opponent instantly without anyone noticing.

Lin Xuan estimated that if the target is happy to death, it can be more or less a euthanasia...

From this perspective, Grandma Dryad might be trying to resolve the grievances of the deceased.

Pretty solid.

"Woo~~"

At this moment, the leaves rustled outside the temple, as if a breeze was blowing.

A cold mental wave swept over, passed through the temple gate of Lanruo Temple, and quickly approached him.

"Is it just a ghost?"

"Oh, there is also a gauze skirt..."

Lin Xuan's mind moved slightly and he opened his eyes.

It seems right!

Female ghosts are not zombies, their bodies are either ashes or skeletons...

Today's ghost body is formed from the soul, so naturally it has no entity.

It would be nice to be able to show up.

If you want to create things from the void, derive flesh and blood, and reshape your body...

Neither Nezha nor Tieguai Li could do it.

If you really have that ability, you must be more or less a great immortal.

Not to mention being coerced by the tree demon grandma, you can just chop it into wood and burn it for fun.

"Bang bang."

At this moment, a clear and melodious girl's voice sounded along with the knock on the door: "My little girl's surname is Nie and her name is Xiaoqian. She got lost on the way home and is weak and tired. I hope to stay here for a short night and ask the young master to open the door." "

"A temple in a deserted mountain, knocking on the door in the middle of the night, quite polite..."

Lin Xuan muttered, then lit the candlestick with a flick of his hand: "The door is unlocked, no need to knock."

"Squeak!"

The wooden door was pushed open gently.

At the door was a girl wearing a white dress.

The girl was seventeen or eighteen years old, with long hair reaching her waist. She was extremely beautiful, but her face was extremely pale.

The candlelight flickered, and when it shone on her face, there was still no color at all, but it made the girl even more elegant, elegant, and pitiful.

"The little girl was a little scared just now. How rude."

Nie Xiaoqian looked at Lin Xuan, her eyes lit up slightly, and a hint of joy appeared on her face.

During her lifetime, she was also the daughter of a wealthy family and was well-educated and sensible.

I didn't expect to pass by this place, be killed by the tree demon, and be controlled by it.

He often goes to hook up with the men staying at Lanruo Temple and provides the tree demon with yang essence and blood food.

When she was alive, she was a rich young lady, unable to leave the front door or step forward from the second door.

After death he was forced to do such a thing.

Nie Xiaoqian feels aggrieved every time she thinks about it.

What's even more frightening is that Lanruo Temple is very famous these days...

The person who comes to stay overnight is not an ordinary person.

It would be nothing more than a wandering monk or Taoist priest.

If she encounters a crazy beggar, even the female ghost will be a little unable to bear it...

Nie Xiaoqian encountered this kind of list once, and it almost made her sick. It took her a while to recover.

For this, he was severely punished by the tree demon grandma.

When she met a handsome scholar this time, Nie Xiaoqian felt that she was lucky.

"Well, this temple is indeed gloomy and haunted from time to time."

Lin Xuan smiled slightly and stood up: "It is very difficult for Miss Nie to be able to walk through the woods outside in the middle of the night."

This little female ghost looks quite eye-catching.

However, I can only look at it.

Although this little female ghost can simulate touch, it is not a real body after all.

Lin Xuan has no interest in Japanese air.

"Yeah! Is there a ghost here?"

Nie Xiaoqian's shoulders shrank slightly, and her eyes showed just the right amount of panic.

"...Is the girl afraid of ghosts?"

"Ghosts are so scary, of course I'm scared!"

"The human world is too complicated, and it's hard to distinguish right from wrong; ghosts are simple. They like you when they say they like you, and hurt you when they say they want to harm you. They are all stupid and stupid. What is there to be afraid of?"

"Young master, what you said is very reasonable and thought-provoking."

Nie Xiaoqian was annoyed when she heard this, she gritted her teeth secretly and whispered: "Can I come in?"

"Of course I can."

Lin Xuan smiled: "Miss Nie, please come in."

"Thank you, sir!"

Nie Xiaoqian raised her lips and walked slowly into the room.

"Wait a minute! It's a bit inconvenient for a man and a woman to be in the same room."

Lin Xuan walked to the door and pushed it open: "It's still early, let's chat casually, there's no need to close the door."

He is now basically sure that the ghost in front of him is also a special spiritual body.

In other words, the mental interference of his Dao Heart Demon Planting Method can also directly act on ghosts.

If he wants to kill Nie Xiaoqian, just one thought is enough to make her soul fly away.

However, according to the task requirements, Lin Xuan has to send this little ghost girl to reincarnation.

They are half partners, and it is definitely not okay to kill them directly.

It's better to chat for a few words and get to know each other better.

"Hehe, young master is really funny." Nie Xiaoqian blinked her starry eyes, put her hand over her mouth, and smiled. Suddenly, she seemed to miss a step, fell forward, and fell directly on Lin Xuan. Amidst the screams, Nie Xiaoqian turned her body, closed the door, and lightly pushed Lin Xuan to the bed. The whole set of movements was like flowing water, extremely skilled. "Miss, are you okay? Are you hurt?" Lin Xuan shook his head, flicked his sleeves, and pushed Nie Xiaoqian away with his backhand. The clothes transformed by this little ghost girl are quite thin and feel quite real. To be honest, it feels quite comfortable to stick together... It can be seen that although this routine is old, it is indeed very effective. If it were a novice like Ning Caichen, he might have directly dealt real damage and would have been busy suppressing the gun. "Huh?" Nie Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Xuan seriously. She originally thought that with her beauty and charm, she would be able to capture him easily with just a little trick.

She never expected that the first reaction of this seemingly romantic young man in front of her was to push her away, and she was not moved at all.

I didn't expect that in this small Lanruo Temple, I could also meet a strong enemy worth fighting!

It seems that I have to use some big moves!

For some reason, Nie Xiaoqian actually had a little competitive spirit, and felt that the whole ghost was on fire.

"Ouch! Young Master, I... my heart hurts so much, can you help me take a look."

In a flash of thought, Nie Xiaoqian frowned slightly, revealing a pitiful expression.

With a slight bite of her teeth, Nie Xiaoqian grabbed Lin Xuan's right hand and stretched it into her clothes.

"... Miss Nie, that's enough."

Lin Xuan was silent for a while, and shook her head slightly: "Let's stop here."

"It really hurts, you see... um?"

Nie Xiaoqian used all her strength and found that Lin Xuan's hand was still hanging in the air, motionless.

The void shook, and a terrifying aura emanated from the man in front of her, trapping her in it.

It seemed that the other party could make her soul fly away and never recover with just a thought.

"You... are you a cultivator?"

Nie Xiaoqian's originally pale face looked even paler.

She stood up straight and looked well-behaved.

"Miss Nie, although you are extremely beautiful, I still pity you."

Lin Xuan snorted lightly: "But now you and I are different, separated by yin and yang, so put away those little thoughts."

When Nie Xiaoqian was alive, she should have been extremely beautiful.

But now I don't know how long she has been dead, and she doesn't even have a body.

How hungry is she to think about becoming a dead knight?

"Ah? Sir, you misunderstood."

Nie Xiaoqian lowered her head and said timidly: "I admire your demeanor and came to meet you. How dare I have any bad intentions?"

"Admire? You cast an illusion on me and tried to steal my essence, so you don't have any bad intentions?"

Lin Xuan urged his blood and smiled faintly: "You are just a ghost cultivator. If you are so determined to die, you will inevitably be reduced to ashes.

This little ghost girl used her spirit body to show up and said a few words to Lin Xuan, which did not have much impact.

But if it is a life-and-death friendship...

With Lin Xuan's current cultivation, any drop of essence, can instantly turn this female ghost into ashes!

In other words, this little female ghost has been jumping back and forth on the edge of death.

"This..."

The next moment, Nie Xiaoqian felt a wave of blood like fire rushing towards her, as if she was in a raging fire.

The opponent's instantaneous burst of momentum alone gave her a deep sense of fear, making her completely unable to fight back.

In an instant, Nie Xiaoqian's soul fire was not only turbulent, but even her spirit body showed signs of disintegration.

"If I, the little girl is not forced to do so, I would never dare to offend you! Please forgive me, young master!"

The little female ghost reacted instantly, frightened and pale, and knelt down quickly, saying submissively.

"Is it my own fault?"

Lin Xuan snorted, and his blood quietly reversed the yin and yang, and was deeply restrained inside: "Were you forced by the tree demon grandmother? "

Just scare the little ghost girl, there's no need to keep circulating the blood.

If you're not careful, you'll really purify the little ghost girl...

It'll be a bit of a mess.

"Yes... huh? How did you know, sir?"

Seeing Lin Xuan put away his magical powers, Nie Xiaoqian breathed a sigh of relief, her beautiful eyes showing gratitude.

"I also know that you were originally a lady from a wealthy family, and when you passed by here, you were killed by the tree demon."

"Afterwards, your bones fell into the hands of the tree demon, and you were enslaved by it and could not reincarnate. You helped the tree demon to absorb the essence and blood of others, committing murder."

Lin Xuan looked at Nie Xiaoqian, who looked embarrassed, and said coldly: "I came here to kill the tree demon grandmother. What are your plans?"

To be honest, although Nie Xiaoqian has excusable feelings, she is definitely not a good ghost.

But because this little ghost girl is so beautiful, she is really good at fighting.

Many people have their own fan filter, and their three views follow their five senses, thinking that she is pitiful and innocent.

If it were an ugly ghost, I guess no one would think so...

"I know that I have committed a serious sin, and I really have no face to defend myself."

Nie Xiaoqian gritted her teeth, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and said crisply: "I am willing to abandon the dark and join the light, help the young master deal with the tree demon, and I will have no regrets even if my soul is scattered."

As the top card of the tree demon grandmother, she stood out among a bunch of sisters.

In addition to his appearance, his IQ and EQ are naturally not low.

The young man in front of him is handsome, and his cultivation is unfathomable.

If such a master is willing to take action, he may really be able to kill the tree demon grandma and let her get her revenge.

Even if the matter fails, his soul will be scattered, which is better than the current life.

"Since that's the case, after I kill the tree demon, I can take your bones away and bury them so that you can reincarnate."

Lin Xuan's heart moved, and he said calmly: "As for how to deal with your sins, the judge of Hades will decide."

Nie Xiaoqian, the little ghost girl, obviously still has some ideas.

If he said that he came to help her.

Maybe she would still have wild thoughts and be suspicious.

Instead, it is easy to increase variables.

Lin Xuan simply deliberately said that what she said was not important.

Take away her bones as a reward and draw a big pie.

Then this little ghost girl will naturally work harder!

It's like changing the wages that should have been paid to workers into performance bonuses...

The workers' enthusiasm for work will also be higher.

Well, from this perspective, there is no difference between humans and ghosts.

"Thank you, sir!"

Nie Xiaoqian looked excited: "I hate that tree demon to the bone. If you can kill it, I won't be afraid of death!"

"You are already dead, so don't swear on this..."

"Then... if I can get my revenge, I can reincarnate."

Nie Xiaoqian gritted her teeth and said: "I will be a cow and a horse in the next life to serve you."

"Be a cow and a horse? Do you like to eat grass?"

Lin Xuan looked at Nie Xiaoqian strangely and said speechlessly.

The little ghost girl is pretty, why does she seem to have a bit of a taste for strange things?

"This..."

Nie Xiaoqian was startled, her cheeks slightly red.

She didn't think about this question seriously, and said it casually.

After thinking about it for a while, it was still quite strange.

"Let's not talk about this, let's talk business."

Lin Xuan waved his hand: "The tree demon should cover the entire forest, do you know where its body is?"

"I know, but the tree demon dislikes its inconvenience in movement, so it has trained an external incarnation and infused its soul into it."

"That incarnation lives in the underground palace all year round, absorbing the earth spirit and giving us orders."

"Because the soul has been stripped, the tree demon's body lacks intelligence. I need this thing to guide it, otherwise it can only act on instinct."

Nie Xiaoqian lifted Lifting her skirt, she pointed to a string of bells hanging on her feet and said thoughtfully, "I think if you are sure of killing the tree demon, you don't need to alert the enemy. Just go to the underground palace to kill its incarnation and destroy its soul."

"It sounds reasonable."

Lin Xuan thought for a while and looked out the window: "Xiaobai, how are you doing?"

"Just now, there was a surge of demonic energy. Several demons came, most of them intended to monitor you, but I killed them one by one."

A figure flashed, and Ao Xue's soft and elegant figure appeared outside the door.

"This is my companion, Dragon Girl Ao Xue."

Lin Xuan glanced at Nie Xiaoqian and comforted her, "As long as you cooperate well, the tree demon grandma will definitely not escape tonight."

"Dragon... Dragon Girl?"

Nie Xiaoqian said in shock, "Are there really dragons in this world?"

"..."

Ao Xue blinked and took off her hat expressionlessly.

After hesitating for a while, the little dragon girl loosened her braids, revealing the small and delicate dragon horns on her head.

"Sister... Hello, Sister Long..."

Nie Xiaoqian's scalp tingled, and she quickly bowed.

"... Hello, sister too."

Ao Xue tilted her head, looking thoughtful.

"Okay, it's almost midnight, we have to move faster."

"Yes."

***

Five or six miles away from the back door of Lanruo Temple, there is a lush forest covering an area of ​​dozens of acres.

The core of the forest is a banyan tree that requires dozens of people to hug.

The banyan tree is huge, and an extremely rich evil spirit surrounds it.

Thousands of air roots grow downward from its branches.

After the air roots fall to the ground and enter the soil, they become supporting roots, forming the cornerstone of the entire forest.

Covering the sky and the sun, a single tree makes a forest!

"So, the tree demon grandma is actually a big banyan tree?"

Lin Xuan walked around the banyan tree and asked.

"Yes, her tongue is those air roots."

Nie Xiaoqian smiled bitterly: "Even if hundreds or thousands of roots are destroyed, it is nothing to it."

"That's true. Take me to the underground palace to see her first, destroy her soul, and then destroy the tree."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly: "Xiao Bai, I will definitely go down with Miss Nie. Will you go down with us, or stay outside?"

With his current cultivation level, if he activates the golden sword with all his strength, he should still be able to defeat the opponent's body.

But after a few strikes, the incarnation of the tree demon would probably disappear.

Therefore, the order is very important, the soul must be dealt with first!

This kind of great demon is much more troublesome than the ultimate warrior.

Everyone's moral integrity is so low that it's outrageous.

Sneak attacks, plotting, deception, and all kinds of tricks.

If you let him go, the hidden dangers will still be quite big.

"I'll stay outside..."

Ao Xue thought for a moment: "If the tree demon grandma escapes, I can hold it back. If it doesn't come out, I can also burn the forest."

"Okay, then let's split up like this."

Lin Xuan thought for a while: "This time we are subduing demons. There is no need to leave anyone alive."

"I know!"

***

Nie Xiaoqian tinkered a bit on the barren hill next to the woods.

The rocks slid open, revealing a gloomy secret passage.

Although ghosts are the embodiment of spiritual power.

But unless they are profound ghost kings or even ghost immortals.

Under normal circumstances, ghosts still do not have skills such as earth escape.

In Japanese horror movies, many shameless ghosts can only bang doors and windows...

Not to mention passing through walls, it can't even penetrate "everywhere".

"This is the underground palace of Grandma Dryad."

Nie Xiaoqian was a little nervous and led the way.

If you bring an outsider here, you will officially become a traitor.

If I hadn’t killed the Dryad Granny in one wave, and had been retaliated by her afterwards...

He might have to be tortured for hundreds of years before he could be wiped out.

Nie Xiaoqian felt a little scared when she thought of this.

But it was useless to be afraid at this time, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk in.

"Sir, someone... uh, a ghost is coming!"

After one person and one ghost walked dozens of meters, Nie Xiaoqian suddenly froze and turned around with some difficulty.

"It doesn't matter, ordinary brats can't see me."

Lin Xuan's movement flickered for a moment, as if melting into the air, and disappeared without a trace.

"???"

Nie Xiaoqian blinked her big eyes and walked forward in confusion.

"Xiaoqian, you came back alone? Haven't you prepared the blood food that grandma asked for?"

After a while, several female ghosts in gorgeous costumes came over.

The leading female ghost saw Nie Xiaoqian and sneered.

"none of your business!"

Nie Xiaoqian snorted coldly and said in a tit-for-tat manner: "I only listen to grandma's orders. It's not your turn to talk nonsense."

"Hehe, we good sisters, can't you ask me a question?"

The leading female ghost was startled and seemed unwilling to provoke Nie Xiaoqian, so she muttered.

"Who is your good sister? Wait until you are in front of me before you say this!"

Nie Xiaoqian was too lazy to chat with the female ghost, so she just yelled at her.

"Hmph! Grandma asked you to go back to your room and wait for her. She will come over to see you later."

The leading female ghost's face turned green with anger, she could only snort, and walked out with many other female ghosts.

"I didn't expect you ghost girls to be quite fond of fighting each other."

The figure flashed, and Lin Xuan appeared in front of Nie Xiaoqian again, smiling.

Although Lin Xuan couldn't simulate the unique aura of a ghost, it was difficult to directly dress up as a ghost.

But it's quite easy to fool a ghost.

After all, ghosts don’t have eyes, they rely entirely on mental perception...

With Lin Xuan's current martial arts skills, as long as he calms down his energy a little, it doesn't matter even if he walks swaggering past the ghost.

"There are so many things to worry about! There are also some idiots who are always jealous and competing with each other to see who looks better."

"I'm already dead. I still think about these nonsense, but I can't let myself live."

Nie Xiaoqian complained a few words, left the aisle, and came to a magnificent large cave.

There are dozens of rooms densely packed on both sides of the cave.

"Sir, please come in."

Nie Xiaoqian pushed open the first room on the right and walked in.

Although ghosts can live in cemeteries and tombs, most female ghosts prefer to live in a more normal environment.

Grandma Dryad's land isn't worth much either, so she's quite generous in this respect.

Gradually, these female ghosts all have welfare housing to live in.

"Your room?"

"Well, yes."

“The location is pretty good.”

"..."

Nie Xiaoqian was obviously stunned for a moment, seemed to blush a little, and remained silent.

Lin Xuan guessed that this was ranked based on performance...

Nie Xiaoqian ranks first on the list, which probably means that she has seduced the most men.

It's really not something to be proud of.

"Although this is the little girl's boudoir, no outsiders have ever come here."

"No, no 'person' has come in at all..."

Nie Xiaoqian closed the door and her eyes wandered: "If you don't mind it, Master, you might as well hide on the couch and wait for the tree demon to fall into the trap."

"When will you come over?"

Lin Xuan opened the bed curtain and looked around.

Finding that there was nothing embarrassing and no suspicious smell inside, he sat cross-legged and sat inside.

Generally, girls' rooms usually have a lot of personal belongings, which are relatively private.

But as a ghost cultivator, Nie Xiaoqian doesn't know how to be an aunt, so she doesn't have so many needs.

The only trouble is that her magic power is low and she cannot materialize clothes.

I had to prepare a few gauze skirts, which were easy to put on and take off when working.

"Grandma's whereabouts are usually unpredictable, and we are not allowed to go to the main hall where she lives."

Nie Xiaoqian thought for a while: "Just wait for a while. If you don't come after an hour, I will go find out about grandma's whereabouts."

"No need to pry."

Lin Xuan was silent for a moment and pointed to the door: "Your grandma flew over."

"ah?"

"Xiaoqian!"

At this moment, a voice that was neither male nor female sounded.

The violent air surged and the door burst open.

A hermaphrodite who looked about fifty or sixty years old suddenly appeared in the room.

Waves of cold evil energy lingered around it.

"Grandma!"

Nie Xiaoqian was a little nervous and quickly bowed down.

"Grandma asked you to deceive that scholar, why did you return without success?"

Grandma Dryad sneered: "Could he be able to hold it back when he sees your appearance?"

"That young man is a monk..."

Nie Xiaoqian pretended to be pitiful: "When he was practicing, the Buddha's light flickered, and Xiaoqian did not dare to go in."

"Buddha's light flashes? That damn scholar is actually a Buddhist cultivator?"

The tree demon's grandmother was a little stunned: "Where can the Buddhist cultivators come from within this hundred miles radius?"

"Xiaoqian doesn't know..."

"Forget it, in this case I can't blame you."

Grandma Dryad thought for a while and said with a smile: "If I turn around, grandma will take action herself, that's all."

"Huh? Grandma doesn't blame me?"

Nie Xiaoqian was startled, thinking that she might have heard wrongly.

This is not the way Grandma Dryad behaves at all.

"Hahaha! Look what you said! Grandma came to see you today, just to let you try on the wedding dress."

Grandma Dryad clapped her hands.

Two female ghosts suddenly walked outside the door, holding a bright red classical wedding dress.

"Grandma, what's going on?"

Nie Xiaoqian had an ominous premonition and asked quickly.

"Xiaoqian, as the saying goes, it's the right time for men to get married and it's time for women to get married."

Grandma Dryad smiled sharply and said: "I see that you are no longer young, so I betrothed you to Master Montenegro."

"Ah?! What...what!"

"Grandma loves you so much that she specially chose a good and auspicious day for you to come to visit her."

"It should be about half a month later, Master Heishan will specially open the passage from the underworld to the human world, and marry you legitimately."

"After you pass through the door, you must serve him attentively."

Grandma Dryad's face was full of smiles: "Xiaoqian, after you follow Master Heishan, you won't have to come back. Remember to say a nice word to grandma when you have time."

"Where...where is my urn?"

Nie Xiaoqian's face changed drastically, she managed to calm down and asked again.

"Oh, a few days ago, Mr. Montenegro's men came over to offer employment, and grandma handed me over to him directly."

"If nothing else, he should be buried in the Black Mountain of the underworld by now, right?"

Grandma Dryad gave Nie Xiaoqian a strange look and laughed again: "Without that thing, grandma can't control you anymore. Even if you are unhappy, you can still scold grandma."

"I...I hate you so much!"

Nie Xiaoqian was so angry that she trembled all over and said frantically: "Old man! I'm here without you today!"

"Um?"
