As soon as the words "Nie Xiaoqian" were expressed, Zhu Yuanliang was so shocked that he took a few steps back, tripped by Tong Biao's body, sat on the seat of Juxianting, and screamed "ah". Chen Shuqing also suddenly realized and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

It was hard for the two of them to believe that this ordinary little demon boy from Lijiang actually had such an earth-shaking life experience!

As the descendant of the original author, only Pu Zixuan's understanding of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" was almost blank. Looking at the abnormal reactions of the three of them, he asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Nie Xiaoqian? Isn't the name of an ordinary woman? What's worth fussing about?"

Chen Shuqing was stunned and asked back, "What? The article "Nie Xiaoqian" is the most famous chapter in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". You have never read it at all?"

Chen Shuqing's expression seemed to be unable to believe that Pu Zixuan, as a Qing Dynasty person, didn't know that there was a woman named Empress Dowager Cixi.

Pu Zixuan looked at Zhu Yuanliang, and saw that Zhu Yuanliang seemed to be confused by his ignorance, so he said even more puzzled: "I have never read it, but even if Xiaoshu's aunt is related to my ancestor Pu Songling, so what? Isn't it just a monster? If it is an evil demon, I will get rid of her. If it is a good demon, I will convince her. Are you so surprised?"

Zhu Yuanliang stood up, walked to Pu Zixuan, and said like a gentleman, "Nie Xiaoqian is not scary, what's scary is her grandma."

Chen Shuqing nodded and further explained: "Yes, her grandma was one of the four demon kings of that year. In Mr.'s original work, Nie Xiaoqian was indeed a female ghost living in Lanruo Temple in Jinhua, specializing in charming men to death. However, the 'Guobei County' in Mr.'s book is fictional. 'Guo' means city, and 'Guobei County' actually refers to the north of Jinhua City. Her grandma is a thousand-year-old tree demon, but the book does not state that this kind of tree is the small-leaf red bean tree... No wonder, we cannot sense Nie Xiaoqian's demonic aura, nor can we sense the human beings transformed by her... Oh my God, I always thought that after her grandma's death, Nie Xiaoqian had completely become a good monster, but I didn't expect that today, more than a hundred years later, is still engaged in such a bad thing..."

Seeing Chen Shuqing talking about his elders with such unbearable words, Xiaoshu felt sad and angry and tried to say, "No! My aunt is not a bad monster! My father said that after my grandmother died of illness, my sister married a scholar named Ning Caichen, gave birth to a child, and lived a peaceful life. How could she come out to harm people? Besides, these monsters are talking about the Red Yasha. Is there any evidence that my aunt is the Red Yasha?"

Zhu Yuanliang said: "There is indeed no monster 'Red Yasha' in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". However, if Nie Xiaoqian was later discovered wearing red clothes and was gradually given a new name after more than a hundred years, wouldn't it be normal?"

When Xiaoshu saw Zhu Yuanliang and Chen Shuqing sing together, he felt even more sad and angry, and said to Zhu Yuanliang loudly: "Is it a red yaksha in red clothes? Then, don't you also wear such a red cloak? He looks so fierce, can I call you a red yaksha?"

Zhu Yuanliang didn't expect Xiaoshu to speak so hard. He looked down at the demon Jianchou who was covered in body, then glared at Xiaoshu and said, "Hey, you little dear, we are just discussing. Even if your aunt has a problem, we are not targeting you. Why are you anxious? Haha, what kind of wind is blowing today? As soon as I talk, someone will argue with me. Grandma, who did I provoke me?"

After all, Xiaoshu was a child. He felt wronged and could not find a proper way to deal with it. When he was stimulated, he immediately had tears in his eyes and turned away from Juxianting, and ran towards Hangzhou City without saying a word.

"Wait for Xiaoshu, where are you going?" Pu Zixuan greeted him, and saw Xiaoshu ignore him, so he accused Zhu Yuanliang, "Look at you, you have made Xiaoshu go away. He is still a child. Is this what you say?"

Zhu Yuanliang just defeated two monsters today. He was supposed to be proud in front of his companions, but he had quarrels with his enemies and companions. His heart was gone. He felt that his anger was full of nowhere to vent. He was so angry that he sat back on the seat and said in a muffled voice: "I knocked down my teeth and swallowed them in my stomach. Can you stop talking?"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanliang was just fighting, he had no extreme reaction, and no longer paid attention to him. He summoned the Dragon King of the Star River, flew to catch up with Xiaoshu, and landed on the sand in front of him. He advised with kind words: "Okay, Xiaoshu, they have provoked you, Brother Pu did not provoke you. Now, calm down first, go back with your brother, I ask them to apologize to you, okay?" After saying that, he reached out to pull Xiaoshu's arm.

Xiaoshu shook Pu Zixuan's hand away: "No need."

Pu Zixuan was stunned and thought to himself that Su Sanniang had temporarily left the team. If Xiaoshu left, it would be even more difficult for the five people to gather again. He said patiently: "Then, in addition to apologizing, brother will help you teach them a lesson." He sighed in his heart. This peacemaker is so tired, but for the sake of the team, he had to endure it.

Xiaoshu is not a scammer who is unreasonable. Seeing Pu Zixuan keeping his steps down, he was silent for a while, and finally said frankly: "Oh, Brother Pu, you misunderstood. I don't have to say anything. It's not just a simple and irritating thing. Some things are not unquestionable... Although I have not read "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", I have memorized the article "Nie Xiaoqian". The situation described by Mr. Liu Quan in the book is very different from what my father told me. Sometimes, I really don't know who should be trusted, so I am shameless.

I would like to ask you to come to Zhejiang to meet your aunt in person. Now that you are constantly attacked by monsters, I feel really sorry and regretful. I am asking you to come to Zhejiang more and more... Anyway, I am not young anymore, and I should learn to face my own destiny calmly. Therefore, I want to go to Jinhua Mansion alone and go to Lanruo Temple to find my aunt. If she is really a red yaksha, I will definitely advise her to abandon evil and do good, eliminate the magic, restore the victim to its original state, and let Brother Pu you feel assured to meet Uncle Pu again." As he said that, Xiaoshu's tears gradually stopped, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

At some point, Chen Shuqing had already come over, stood behind Xiaoshu, and asked, "Can you convince your aunt?"

Xiaoshu looked back and saw Zhu Yuanliang still sitting in Juxian Pavilion sulking. Only Chen Shuqing rushed over and stopped talking to each other and explained: "Dad once said that my grandma was indeed transformed from a thousand-year-old red bean demon. Later, grandma left two branches from the root, one became my aunt, named Nie Xiaoqian, and the other became my father, named Sun Zichu. They all became half demons because of their union with humans, and I was the child of his grandson Chu. Dad always said that my aunt is a good banshee, and we are a family again. If we have a good chat, why can't we convince her?"

Chen Shuqing sighed and said, "It would be fine if it was your aunt alone. I was just thinking that your aunt was not a monster who did evil things, but there was a deeper hidden behind it."

"If that's true, I should find out the truth and see if my aunt is involuntarily." When Xiaoshu said this, he obviously lost his previous confidence and turned to Chen Shuqing and said, "Then, Sister Shuqing, tell me the story about my aunt. How much truth did you know when you followed Mr. Pu Songling back then? The more I know, the more I have a clear idea."

Chen Shuqing thought for a while and said, "Nie Xiaoqian... To be honest, I mostly know her from the book, because she and your grandma are far away from Jinhua, Zhejiang, and have not had direct contact with her husband, but have indirectly had sex through another person."

"Who?" Xiaoshu said curiously.

"Yan Chixia."

"Wait, Yan Chixia, why is this name so familiar?" This name confused Pu Zixuan. After thinking hard for a while, he suddenly realized, "Ahhh, I remembered that it was in Guangxi Broken Heart Valley, and I encountered a sandstorm with you. At that time, you said that it was the ghost of a certain Pu Songling challenger, so you read some of the challenger's names, one of which was Yan Chixia."

Chen Shuqing smiled and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that I just said it once, and you really remember it."

Pu Zixuan said proudly: "You still remember it for more than a hundred years, how could I forget it so quickly?"

Xiaoshu said in a daze: "So, Yan Chixia in the book also exists?"

Chen Shuqing said: "Yes, there are many purifiers who came to Pujiazhuang, Shandong to challenge Mr. Yan Chixia. The reason I remember his name is because one day when I went home for dinner, a chubby middle-aged man sat at the dining table and drank boldly. The gentleman asked me to call him "Uncle Yan". I was only eleven or twelve years old at that time. I thought to myself that this person's name is so strange, why did he have the surname "Yan", so I called "Uncle Yanzi" mischievously. The gentleman and him laughed. Even if I later learned his full name, they deliberately asked me to call him that. In addition, the book's description of him was very colorful, so I couldn't forget the name "Yan Chixia".

Xiaoshu hurriedly asked, "So, what did Yan Chixia say about my aunt and grandma?"

Chen Shuqing recalled: "I was not as old as you are now. Yan Chixia did not mention monsters at the dinner table, but just talked about travel experiences from all over the country. Later, he went to a warrior with his husband, but I did not follow him. He only knew that he left Pujiazhuang after he was defeated, and I never saw him again. It was also later that the husband told me that he came to challenge not only for the sake of martial arts competition, but to improve the power of purification so as to get rid of some demon kings at Lanruo Temple. The husband liked to collect materials from others. From this point of view, since he could write such a vivid chapter of "Nie Xiaoqian", he must have had in-depth exchanges with Yan Chixia. If nothing unexpected happens, the description of your aunt and grandma in the article "Nie Xiaoqian" is almost the same."

Afraid of hurting Xiaoshu's self-esteem, Chen Shuqing added: "But Xiaoshu is still the same thing, they are them, you are you, I will not have any opinions about you because of your family affairs, so you must not take it to your heart."
