Chapter 416: Grass Ring

"My benefactor, please let my daughter stay in the world for a few days~"

The tone was sad, and anyone who heard it would feel pity.

The one who sent the message was none other than Nie Xiaoqian, the ghost.

How strange.

A hint of surprise flashed in the depths of Lin Chen's eyes.

You know, this official seal is for evil spirits to stay away from, and Nie Xiaoqian, as a sneaky ghost, was able to blend in and conceal her breath.

It's really interesting.

Speaking of which.

After watching A Chinese Ghost Story, he specially read the original text of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

In fact, after Ning Caichen saved Nie Xiaoqian, he did not send her to reincarnation like in the movie.

But at Nie Xiaoqian's strong request, he was willing to work like a cow and a horse in this life to repay the benefactor.

So, this scholar and a female ghost returned to Ning Caichen's home.

However, Ning Caichen actually had a wife and an old mother.

Ning Caichen dug a grave under the window of his study and settled Nie Xiaoqian there.

In addition, Ning was obsessed with studying for the imperial examination, and he ate and slept in the study.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye could see that.

It was okay to have a beautiful female ghost settled outside the study during the day, but no one knew what would happen at night when everyone was asleep.

As for why the movie didn't shoot the later "Ghost Love"?

I'm afraid it can't be released even if it's shot.

After all, the movie has to take care of whether the children can bear to watch it.

Well, I've gone off topic.

Let's talk about Nie Xiaoqian.

After she hid in the official seal, she didn't move anymore.

If it weren't for Lin Chen still being able to feel a chill, he would have thought that the latter was beaten to death by the majestic aura of the official seal.

As for Yan Chixia, she had completed the afterlife ceremony in a short time, and just sat on the ground gasping for air.

He had been injured in the previous battle with the two thousand year old monster, and he finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Fortunately.

The noise from Lanruo Temple stopped.

Suddenly, two rays of light came from a distance and finally stopped beside Lin Chen.

It was none other than Bai Suzhen and Bai Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing was still as carefree and cheerful as ever, which showed that the tree monster and the fox monster had a bad end.

After some inquiries, it turned out to be as expected.

"The tree monster was cut by my sister and its body was burned." Xiaoqing took out an object with a smile.

A closer look revealed that it was a fox corpse with blood coming out of its mouth and nose.

"I said I would use its fur to make an apron with my sister, so I can't break my promise."

Yan Chixia looked at Xiaoqing's indifferent attitude and shuddered subconsciously.

It's better to stay away from this woman in the future.

Bai Suzhen, on the other hand, looked around Yan Chixia.

When she saw the long sword in his hand, her beautiful eyes flashed with surprise.

This sword is called Xuanyuan Sword!

Although it may not be authentic, it is also a rare magic weapon in the secular world.

Could it be that this person is also a pseudonym of a big boss?

In front is a suspected descendant of Donghua Zhenren, and in the back is a pseudonym of a sword fairy.

This Beiguo County is really full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.

Bai Suzhen is more and more sure that the news that her master said that she could get a great opportunity in Beiguo County is correct.

In this case...

"Thanks to your help, I was lucky enough to get rid of the tree monster that was causing trouble in the area. Please accept this."

"Lucky?"

Lin Chen and Yan Chixia looked at each other subconsciously after hearing this.

Seeing that Bai Suzhen's skirt was not messy at all, her expression was a little strange.

As for the items Bai Suzhen handed to the two,

"This thing is the Qingmu Heart condensed by the tree demon."

This thing, called Qingmu Heart by Bai Suzhen, is emerald green like jade. Just looking at it, you can feel its rich vitality.

And what was given to Yan Chixia was the trunk of the essence of the tree demon.

Looking at Yan Chixia's flattered look, it can be seen that this thing should be very precious.

This is natural.

The trunk of the thousand-year-old demon is extremely suitable for making magic tools or protective magic weapons.

After giving the gift, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing took the excuse to say goodbye.

But before leaving, Xiaoqing winked at Lin Chen, as if she had something to say.

Lin Chen understood Xiaoqing's meaning, which was nothing more than asking him to visit his sister again after returning to Beiguo County.

However.

Lin Chen looked at Yan Chixia first and extended an invitation to him.

"Brother Yan, you are seriously injured now, why don't you come to Beiguo County to recuperate for a few days?"

As the county magistrate of Beiguo County, Lin Chen should do his best to be a good host.

Yan Chixia was not vague and agreed directly.

After returning to Beiguo County.

The news about the extermination of the demon in Lanruo Temple also spread like wildfire.

In particular, the story of County Magistrate Lin cooperating with a bearded swordsman to kill the demon and remove a tree demon that harmed countless people became the most discussed topic in the streets and alleys.

After all, Lanruo Temple is just ten miles away from Beiguo County, and some curious people went to see it.

After returning, they were more and more shocked by their own county magistrate.

It is said that Lanruo Temple is now in a mess, as if it has been turned upside down.

When Lin Chen learned the news, his expression was very exciting.

It must be that a certain officer let it slip.

Of course, these are all minor issues.

At night in the Beiguo County government office, Lin Chen specifically told Xiao Zhao that he would not go back tonight.

When the night was deep and the people were still.

He just took out the official seal.

Swish!

There was a gust of eerie wind blowing, and in the room, under the candlelight, there was a charming and gentle figure.

It must be said.

Among the women Lin Chen had seen, Nie Xiaoqian was also one of the best.

Especially her identity makes her even more special.

However, Lin Chen's eyes never glanced at Nie Xiaoqian's exquisite figure. Instead, his eyes were slightly focused and his face was serious.

On the other hand, Nie Xiaoqian was very understanding and bowed down, grateful for Lin Chen's help.

"The slave family thanks the benefactor and makes it possible!"

When Lin Chen heard this, he pretended to be puzzled and said: "You are stuck in this world, do you still have something to worry about?"

Nie Xiaoqian was startled, and murmured with tears: "I also ask my benefactor to find out the news about my father and mother for the slave family."

Pack!

Lin Chen nodded noncommittally.

Don't look at the kind and innocent Nie Xiaoqian in the movie.

Maybe Nie Xiaoqian is not bad by nature, but she is still a scoundrel who has been following the tree demon to do evil for decades.

Even if you are exposed to it, you should be affected.

Combined with the original book Liaozhai, Nie Xiaoqian would rather stay with Ning Caichen as a ghost to read.

This Nie Xiaoqian is most likely greedy for the world of mortals!

After all, the other party died in just eight years, and was controlled by the tree demon for decades.

Now that she is seeking him, she most likely wants to take the opportunity to stay with Lin Chen.

But Lin Chen was a little curious.

"How can you temporarily stay in this official seal?"

After all, ordinary sneaky people should be beaten to death by this official seal.

"You may not know, but the little girl's father, Nie Ningyuan, once served as the magistrate of Beiguo County."

Nie Xiaoqian hesitated for a moment, as if she had thought of something, and then added, "Even so, the slave family can only retain the official seal for a few days. If it exceeds that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."

Did Nie Xiaoqian's biological father also serve as the magistrate of Beiguo County?

Lin Chen didn't know the news.

Judging from Nie Xiaoqian's appearance, it didn't look like she was lying.

"Then what are your plans in the future? Do you need me to arrange for you to die?" Lin Chen suddenly thought of something and asked seriously.

"Slave, I received the grace of saving my life from you, so I should repay you with a knot of grass in my hand. Even though I have turned into a ghost now, I should still serve you carefully."

The shy Nie Xiaoqian bowed and spoke, not daring to look up at the figure sitting high up.

If Yan Chixia heard these words, she might be speechless again.

The way these female ghosts repay their kindness depends on their appearance.
