Chapter 88

  Lin Ruolan finally sensed that Sima's expression was a bit off, her eyebrows twitching slightly; Lin Ruolan wasn't a rash person, could it be that there was something wrong with this Nanguo Town?

  From Sima's expression, Lin Ruolan somewhat saw some clues: "Sima, looking at the expression on your face; isn't there something wrong with Nanguo Town?"

  "Rulan, how should I put this?" Sima San Niang felt that since Lin Rulan had made up her mind to go through with it, she thought she should tell Lin Rulan something; otherwise, when the time came, Lin Rulan would suffer a loss without even knowing why.

  Hehe...... it turns out that there are still some unknown inside stories, Sima San Niang's ambiguous words; really stirred up Lin Ruolan's interest.

  "Third Sister, then you might as well get to the point; I'm all ears. Hmm... listening to stories is the most enjoyable thing! Lin Ruolan naturally didn't overlook the look of difficulty on Sima San Niang's face, and she kindly offered her own suggestion."

  "Hmm... let me think for a moment!"

  Simu Sanniang thought for half a day and finally said something, but this remark greatly overturned Lin Ruolan's previous understanding of Nanguo Town.

  Originally, the reason why Nanguo Town was isolated from the world and unknown to people, apart from its special geographical location, was also due to the existence of a temple called Lanruo Temple and a forest called Heifeng Forest nearby. It is precisely because of the existence of these two places that many people will turn pale when mentioning Nanguo Town, and they don't even have the courage to bring it up.

  According to the mouths of people who have safely entered and exited Nanguo Town, the temple called Lanruo Temple is inhabited by man-eating demons and ghosts; some say that inside Lanruo Temple lives a beautiful female ghost, anyone who has seen her face will be enchanted, until their vitality is exhausted and they die.

  Some people say that the one living in Lanruo Temple is not a beautiful female ghost, but a large group of fox spirits that have been cultivated to absorb human essence. Everyone has different opinions about Lanruo Temple; each person has their own theory, but unfortunately no one knows what the truth really is.

  Because anyone who has ever entered the Blue Temple, regardless of age or sex, has never been able to walk out from there; so what is the truth? That can't be known.

  What about Heifeng Lin?

  Hiss... That's even more unthinkable, in the eyes of people from Nanguo Town; Heifenglin is an existence even more terrifying than Lanruo Temple. At least if you don't go near Lanruo Temple, nothing will happen to you.

  And Heifeng Lin... Within a radius of fifty miles outside Heifeng Lin, no living creatures can be seen, at least those that can enter and exit Heifeng Lin and its surroundings; either demons or ghosts, or else the demon tribe.

  Why is Heifenglin so terrifying? It's because there's a thousand-year-old tree demon, Heishan Lao Lao, who has cultivated to perfection inside Heifenglin!

  Hei Shan Lao Lao likes to eat the hearts of young men, as Sima San Niang said; Hei Shan Lao Lao is no longer a simple tree demon, she has become a hybrid of magic and demonic powers; her power is far beyond that of ordinary demons or magical creatures.

  At that time, Sima San Niang mistakenly entered the town of Nanguo when her Taoist skills were not as profound as they are now. She had once mistakenly entered the outer reaches of Heifeng Forest; if it weren't for the protection of the magical artifact given to her by Chisongzi, she might not have been able to escape with her life that day.

  It was merely the outskirts of Heifenglin, and Sima San Niang hadn't even seen that so-called Heishan Lao Lao; she had almost gone through nine deaths and one life to return, it can be imagined how perilous the inside of Heifenglin was.

  Even after many years, every time Sima San Niang recalls these past events; there is still a faint sense of fear, and even in her heart, she will subconsciously avoid all topics related to Nanguo Town, Lanruo Temple, and Heishan Lao Lao.

  There was another thing that Sima San Niang didn't tell Lin Ruolan, which is that Sima San Niang's talent in array techniques was the most formidable in the entire Xuanxin Orthodox Sect. Back when they were in Nanguo Town, Sima San Niang had already sensed something was off; however, due to the gravity of the matter and the lack of concrete evidence, Sima San Niang didn't dare tell anyone, instead burying her suspicions deep within her heart.

  At that time in Nanguo Town, Sima San Niang, who had barely escaped with her life after a narrow escape; With her attainments in the formation method, she discovered a rather strange phenomenon.

  Nanguo Town, Lanruo Temple and Heifeng Forest seem to be an ancient formation, but at that time, Sima San Niang had only just begun to understand the formation. So what is the truth? Sima San Niang did not dare to make a conclusion, so this matter became the biggest knot in her heart for many years.

  "Cough...cough...cough..."

  Lin Ruo Lan was choked by her own saliva, she really didn't mean to drool!

  However, when Lin Ruolan heard the two familiar names, Lan Ruo Temple and Hei Shan Lao Lao, coming from Sima San Niang's mouth; Lin Ruolan really couldn't continue to be calm!

  Damn it!

  It's indeed a treacherous world, and she knew it; although she was aware that both the Blue Temple and Black Mountain Granny were in the vicinity of Nanguo Town, she never expected that Nanguo Town, the Blue Temple, and Black Mountain Granny would present a three-way standoff.

  However, Lin Ruolan could understand Sima's words. The geographical location of Nanguo Town was indeed a bit remote; it would not be unusual for demons and ghosts to cultivate in the deep mountains and old forests. But Hei Shan Lao Lao, who should have been cannon fodder in the original story, was she really powerful enough to defy the heavens?

  Lin Ruo Lan actually expressed her own doubts about this point!

  Nan Guo Town has appeared, Lanruo Temple, Hei Shan Lao Lao, Yan Hong Ye, Sima San Niang, and the demonic aura of the Yunyun Spring... All these important people and things in The Legend of Qingyun have basically appeared. Does that mean the real plot is about to arrive soon?

  Lin Ruo Lan counted her fingers one by one, thinking that she would soon be able to see the handsome and cool Mo Jun Qi Ye. She was so excited that she couldn't contain herself.

  Damn it!

  Mo Jun Qi Ye Da Shuai Guo! Just thinking of Mo Jun Qi Ye in The Legend of Qing Yun, the one with Nie Yuan's portrayal, that head of shoulder-length curly hair; and when using the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, he looks so handsome, cool, and stylish, Lin Ruolan's eyes have already turned into starry eyes.

  If she knew that she had actually met Mo Jun Ye long ago and had been alone with him, I wonder what Lin Ruolan would think?

  Siman thought Lin Ruo Lan was shocked by her words at first, but as she looked at her more and more, she felt something was off about her; finally, she saw through it.

  "Ruo Lan, are you okay?" Although she had already noticed that Lin Ruo Lan's mind was elsewhere, Sima San Niang still asked, "Since you've already learned about the dangers of Nanguo Town, have you really made up your mind to go there?"

  Ah!

  Lin Ruo Lan finally came back to her senses because of Sima San Niang's words, but she didn't have the intention to retreat due to Sima San Niang's worries and the previous dangerous description. On the contrary, Lin Ruo Lan became more and more eager to try; there was even a faint sense of excitement in her heart.

  Zi heard Sima's inquiry, Lin Ruolan nodded naturally without thinking: "Sima, if you're going to persuade me, then don't say anything else. I must go to Nanguo Town."

  Looking at Sima's worried face, Lin Ruolan still comforted her a few words: "Sima, you can rest assured; if that Nanguo Town is really as dangerous as you said..."

  Lin Ruo Lan suddenly stopped speaking and winked at Sima San Niang with a mischievous glint in her eye; Lin Ruo Lan's sudden movement left Sima San Niang stunned for a moment. Then she vaguely remembered that the girl in front of her, who seemed extremely formidable, was actually just a child, not much older than their own Hong Ye.

  What was on Sima San Niang's mind, Lin Ruolan didn't know; she rarely made a joke with Sima San Niang: "Sima San Niang, don't forget that I still have the Instant Transfer Symbol in my hand!"

  Teleportation charm? Ah…… how could I have forgotten about it myself? Sima Sanniang thought with a face full of regret, that was a good treasure; having the teleportation charm in hand, at least Lin Ruolan's life should be temporarily safe; thinking of the wonderful use of the teleportation charm, Sima Sanniang's anxious heart finally calmed down a lot.

  Lin Ruolan smiled slightly, knowing that Sima San Niang was extremely intelligent; judging from her expression, she should have already understood the meaning behind her words, but Lin Ruolan still chose to clarify and say it out loud.

  "Third Sister, you should be relieved now, right?" Lin Ruolan said with a smile to Sima San Niang. As for Sima San Niang's intentions, Lin Ruolan could still understand; and was truly very grateful to her, after all, she was genuinely worried about her safety.

  "I have a teleportation charm in my hand, if I really encounter danger; at worst, I'll just leave immediately and there won't be any risk to my life."

  Teleportation charm is the only treasure among all charms that can move freely in and out of the boundary without being restricted by it; after hearing Lin Ruolan's words, Sima San Niang finally didn't worry so much.
