Poverty

Chapter 964 Foster Father! Is the wandering Taoist priest so voluptuous? Disaster!
Jingzhou City,
This place has a large population, a prosperous economy and a convenient geographical location.

Close to a canal, water transportation is developed, and there is an endless stream of merchants passing by on the dock.

In the northern suburbs outside Jingzhou City, there is a dilapidated City God's Temple. It has been abandoned for a long time and has no incense anymore.
At this time, there was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old in the Chenghuang Temple. His face was dark, but his eyes were extremely bright.
At this time, he put his hands behind his head, rested an iron sword on his pillow, and lay on the ground with his legs crossed.
The statue of the City God enshrined in the City God Temple here holds an iron gun in his hand. Although he is not wearing iron armor, his expression is solemn and there is an evil spirit between his eyebrows.

The statue of the City God is mottled and extremely dilapidated.
There was a large incense burner in front of him, with three extremely inferior incense sticks on it, which had already been lit.

The incense thread rises mistly, which is an extremely rare incense in the Chenghuang Temple.

The thirteen- or fourteen-year-old boy rested his head on the iron sword, crossed his legs, and held a piece of grass in his mouth.

There was a roasted chicken in front of the incense burner, but he did not touch it.

But at this time, his stomach growled at an inappropriate time,

A gust of wind blew by, and the fallen leaves flew,
Immediately, a middle-aged man wearing a sky-blue gown appeared in the Chenghuang Temple.

The man had a bronze face and was dressed in casual clothes, but his feet were wearing official boots. His face looked somewhat similar to that of the City God.

The young man was not surprised when he saw this bronze-faced middle-aged man walking in. He stood up and said quickly: "Father, why are you down here?"

The majestic middle-aged man said calmly: "A guest is coming, so I'll show up to greet him."

The young man’s name is Lu Jianghuai.
He smiled and said, "Why do guests need a foster father to show up to greet them?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "I am just a wild god with a sparse incense. The other party is a real person from the Taoist sect. You must not lose your etiquette."

Lu Jianghuai was silent, but his eyes were rolling, as if he was extremely interested in this person.

After a while, a monk with a stern expression came in, holding a Zen rod for subduing demons.

Behind him was an elegant and handsome young Taoist, wearing a green Taoist robe, with an elegant long sword hanging on his waist.

Lu Jianghuai's eyes lit up.

Seeing the monk with a stern expression and holding a Zen staff for subduing demons in his hand, he quickly stepped forward to salute and said politely: "Young man Lu Jianghuai has met Master Huizhen."

Master Huizhen nodded slightly and looked at the middle-aged man with a bronze face: "Fellow Daoist Guo, this matter is dangerous, why don't you let him leave?"

Before the majestic middle-aged man spoke, Lu Jianghuai explained: "I begged my adoptive father to let me stay here. I want to do my best."

Master Huizhen said no more.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I wonder who this is?"

Master Huizhen introduced: "This is the poor monk's friend, Taoist Master Li. He was specially invited to deal with the White Lotus Sect monster."

Master Huizhen turned around and introduced: "This is the local Guo Chenghuang."

Li Yanchu smiled and cupped his hands: "Guo Chenghuang."

The middle-aged man with a majestic face smiled and said: "What a city god, he is just a wild god with sparse incense and is about to die."

Li Yanchu learned from Master Huizhen that the White Lotus Sect was lurking in Jingzhou City, intending to revive an ancient being. This matter was reported by a city god.
He happened to be passing by this place and was informed by a message from the City God, so he went to the city to investigate in person.

Sure enough, the White Lotus Sect's conspiracy was discovered, but there were experts lurking in it. Master Huizhen did not act rashly.
Moreover, at this time, the White Lotus Sect was lurking in Jingzhou City to throw a rat weapon.

Master Huizhen and Li Yanchu came to the dilapidated City God's Temple, greeted the local City God, and then went to Jingzhou City to explore, looking for the White Lotus Cult demon.

After the two of them left, the young man Lu Jianghuai, who was holding an iron sword in his hand and with extremely bright eyes, asked:

"Father, this Daoist Li is young, can he solve the problems here?"

The middle-aged man with a bronze face and a majestic demeanor smiled and said: "This man has a great aura and will definitely be able to solve this problem. If you can become his disciple, you will benefit a lot."

Lu Jianghuai was a little surprised.

The middle-aged man with a bronze face added: "If this matter is solved, I will try to find an opportunity for you based on the report. Whether it succeeds or not depends on your luck."

Lu Jianghuai was a little moved when he heard this and said: "Father."

The bronze-faced middle-aged man softened slightly when he saw this, and said softly: "I have this temper, which makes me unhappy, but you and I are destined to be together. If you can get him to teach you the skills, you will definitely benefit a lot in the future." .”

Lu Jianghuai raised his head and smiled: "Of course I know that my adoptive father is for my own good. He is a strict father and a loving mother."

The middle-aged man with a bronze face smiled and looked outside, thoughtfully.

………………

Jingzhou City,
A monk walked together on the street, one looked majestic, the other had a handsome appearance.
Moreover, they are all holding weapons, which is quite eye-catching.

Li Yanchu had just checked the entire Jingzhou City and found no scent of the White Lotus Sect demon.
If he wasn't there at this time, there was some way to hide his aura.

He was walking on the street with Master Huizhen. His spiritual consciousness was powerful. As long as he sensed evil spirits, he would follow the clues to find the place where the demons of the White Lotus Sect gathered.
Li Yanchu said: "Master, the City God just now is quite interesting. It seems that he is about to dissipate, but in fact his soul is extremely condensed, and he seems to be protected by the luck of the dynasty."

Master Huizhen nodded slightly: "The poor monk has observed the aura on his body. It is indeed very condensed, but he did not notice the luck of the dynasty."

Li Yanchu said slowly: "Many City Gods are conferred by great sages of the human race. They are recognized by the imperial court and favored by the people. They just need to be protected by the luck of the dynasty. This person should have been an official of the imperial court during his lifetime."

Master Huizhen said: "This person specially conveyed the message to me, but he is a loyal person. If it weren't for him, I would not have discovered the traces of the White Lotus Sect."

Li Yanchu nodded slightly. Before they arrived in Jingzhou, the city god had already appeared, and he seemed to be a bit virtuous.

Suddenly, he noticed a faint breath,

His consciousness has been covering the entire Jingzhou City. As soon as this aura appeared, he captured it.
The breath flickered and disappeared in a moment.

“There is a heretical atmosphere in the southeast.”

Li Yanchu said in a deep voice.

Then he and Master Huizhen quickly rushed to the place where the evil spirit appeared.

I found that this place was a large mansion belonging to a wealthy family, with two big characters written on it,

"Liu Mansion."

Li Yanchu said calmly: "The aura just now was in the Liu Mansion."

Master Huizhen thought: "It is indeed right to ask Taoist Master Li to come. If I investigate on my own, I don't know how long it will take."

Li Yanchu covered the entire Liu Mansion with his spiritual consciousness. As long as there was a slight movement in the aura, he would be able to detect it again.

They came and knocked on the door,

Dangdang Dangdang!
Squeak, the door is opened,

A handsome boy poked his head out and saw a monk. He quickly said, "Why are you here now? Come with me quickly. The master is very anxious!"

Li Yanchu: "………………"

Master Huizhen: “………………”

The two looked at each other, confused.
Walking on the road, the handsome young man chattered endlessly.

Only then did Li Yanchu understand that the young lady of the Liu family was ill and had not eaten or drank for many days and could only eat uncooked rice.

And once you start eating uncooked rice, you simply can’t stop.
This frightened the Liu family and his wife, but they invited many eminent monks and Taoists to do it, but it didn't work.
I consulted all the famous doctors in the city, but to no avail. None of them could help Miss Liu's digestion and relieve her qi.
These days, I have been searching for the eminent monks and Taoists in the city to slay demons, exorcise evil spirits and avoid misfortunes.

I heard that there were wandering Taoist priests and monks in the city who knew medicine and could capture ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, so they sent many people to look for them.
The abbot of the well-known Taoist and Buddhist temple could not solve the problem, so he turned his attention to the charlatan.

After arriving in the hall, an extremely bloated middle-aged man looked up and his eyes suddenly lit up.
This man is fat, his hands are full of rings and jewels, giving him the feeling of being extremely wealthy.

"Master, people are coming."

said the handsome young man.

Mr. Liu's eyes lit up, and he was just a little curious as to why these two people were the only ones invited. His eyes fell on Li Yanchu's face, and he was stunned for a moment, thinking: "Today's wandering Taoist priests are so difficult to get along with, and they have become such wandering Taoist priests!"

He exchanged a few words with Li Yanchu and then took someone to treat his daughter.

Li Yanchu secretly scanned the entire Liu family with his consciousness.

Mr. Liu is dressed like a rich man. The Liu family's house has been seen by an expert who is proficient in Feng Shui. The design is extremely reasonable, which can ensure the prosperity of the Liu family's business.
Moreover, ordinary lonely ghosts and wandering gods cannot enter, and will be blocked by the Feng Shui bureau.

Of course, Li Yanchu's spiritual consciousness could flow freely through it,
At this time, his consciousness swept to the back house and found Miss Liu, the young lady of the Liu family, who was only twenty-eight years old.
He was quite handsome originally, completely different from his father.
At this time, several days of torture had left her in a trance and emaciated.

Li Yanchu raised his eyebrows: "I clearly felt the heretic aura just now, but now I can't feel it anymore."

Just as the three of them were about to walk out, they found that another boy also walked in with a monk.
The monk is dark and fat, his clothes are open and he looks unkempt.

The Taoist priest is tall and thin, with a disfigured face and a rat beard. Not only is he carrying a Tai Chi Bagua bag, he is also carrying a broken erhu.

The young man was very happy: "Master, I have invited two experts from the city!"

As soon as the boy finished speaking, he saw a monk beside the master. The monk was majestic and solemn, and the Taoist priest was handsome and graceful. The two of them looked immortal and noble.

They looked completely different from the two people beside him.

Mr. Liu was stunned.
He looked at Li Yanchu and the two people, and then at the two people who just came in.

Later, these two people looked a bit like wandering monks and wandering Taoist priests.

Mr. Liu turned to look at Li Yanchu,
Li Yanchu smiled slightly: "I just wanted to explain, but I thought that since I was here, I was destined, so I took action to treat the young lady's illness and exorcise the evil spirits."

Li Yanchu had a handsome appearance and an extraordinary temperament, as if he were an immortal in the world.

The voice is extremely clear and calming.

Mr. Liu's face showed joy and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Taoist Priest. If you can save my daughter's life, I will give you a heavy reward afterwards!"

As soon as they heard the words "heavy reward", the monks looked at each other.
The fat black monk said in a deep voice: "Hey! How dare you dare to take our names and take our names!"

The wandering Taoist priest next to him who was carrying a broken erhu also shouted coldly: "I am Tianfeng Zhenren, who studied at Longhu Mountain. You two are deceiving the world and stealing your reputation. You are charlatans. Why don't you retreat quickly!"

The two of them shouted loudly, with extraordinary bearing.

Mr. Liu originally believed Li Yanchu directly, but at this time, he was stunned by what these two people shouted loudly.

Longhu Mountain is a holy land of Taoism, and the leader of Qianguo Taoism.
Li Yanchu just took a glance and knew that these two people were not cultivators and had no power in their bodies.

He glanced at the wandering Taoist and said with a smile, "Are you studying at Longhu Mountain?"

The Taoist priest said proudly: "Yes, I will scare you by telling you my master's name."

Li Yanchu asked: "Who is your master?"

The wandering Taoist priest frowned.

This young Taoist is so annoying,
But he had already prepared his words, and when he heard the words, he said coldly: "One of the four great Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain, Celestial Master Zhao!"

After he finished speaking, he stood with his hands behind his back, feeling aloof and aloof, exuding the arrogance of a disciple of a large sect.
Li Yanchu suddenly realized: "So you are a disciple of Master Zhao. I wonder if Master Zhao can return to Longhu Mountain now?"

Zhao Tianshi once came to Weicheng to look for the old Taoist and returned to Longhu Mountain to take over the position of the real master, but the old Taoist rode a big black to avoid seeing him. The brothers chased him and fled. I wonder if Zhao Tianshi has returned to the mountain at this time.

The wandering Taoist priest carrying the erhu frowned and looked at the fat black monk next to him.
"Did you meet a colleague? This guy seems to be calmer than me."

But seeing Li Yanchu's extraordinary demeanor, he fell three points shorter first.
Without the momentum he had before, he was afraid of meeting a true practitioner.

So he smiled and said: "My master hasn't returned to Longhu Mountain yet, do you know my master?"

Li Yanchu smiled: "I know you."

Taoist You Fang: "………………"

The fat black monk has a slightly more irritable temper.
He thought to himself: "This guy is too courageous. There are so many people fishing in troubled waters in the rivers and lakes. We must not be fooled."

He glared at Taoist You Fang,
Taoist You Fang frowned deeply at this time, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Suddenly,

Li Yanchu sensed that the aura leaked from before, and then disappeared.
He looked at the monk with a calm expression: "If you try to cheat, you may be struck by lightning."

The fat black monk frowned and opened his mouth to curse.
Above the sky, suddenly there were dark clouds,
Boom!Boom!
Thunder and lightning flashed among them, with astonishing power!
The fat black monk: “………………”

Wandering Taoist Priest: “………………”

The two looked at each other and ran away!
Mr. Liu was shocked, looked up at the sky, and then looked at this handsome young Taoist priest.
"Fairy! Live fairy!"

Mr. Liu was shocked and felt that his daughter could be saved.

Li Yanchu withdrew his magical powers, and the thunderclouds dispersed in the sky.
But he didn't move, but felt it lightly. Sure enough, the breath disappeared in a flash.
Li Yanchu released the aura of thunder not only to scare away the pair of charlatan sorcerers, but also to suppress the heretics in Liu's residence.
The next moment, he used his magic technique and disappeared.
Mr. Liu was shocked: "Where has that Taoist priest gone?"

Master Huizhen said calmly: "The demon is gone."

Mr. Liu was surprised and happy.

Unexpectedly, a Taoist god really came today!
Li Yanchu's magical journey came from the back house.
In the back house, there is an ancient octagonal well.
The body flashed and came from above the ancient well.
"This is where the breath comes from."

The spiritual detection might be blocked, but Li Yanchu had already discovered the location at this time.
The magic light flashed in his eyes, and he used the spiritual eye technique, Heavenly Eyes,
There was a golden toad deep in the Bajiao Ancient Well. It sensed Li Yanchu's aura and suddenly became trembling with fear!
Li Yan's first voice was like thunder: "Get out!"

His cold shout contained the true words of the Taoist sect, as well as the magical power of the Great Heavenly Dragon.
The well water suddenly rose into the sky, and a golden toad flew out and fell to the ground, panicking.

The unusual movements here attracted the attention of many people. There was a family courtyard in the back house, and a group of maids and old women ran out.
When I saw a handsome young Taoist priest, I was stunned for a moment.
When they saw the huge golden toad, they all exclaimed!
Li Yanchu didn't take action, his aura was as strong as a mountain, extremely tyrannical.
The golden toad was the size of a calf, lying on the ground and not daring to move.
"Shangxian spare your life! Shangxian spare your life!"

The Dharma light in Li Yanchu's eyes flashed, and he saw that the golden toad had a blood-evil aura and was filled with resentment.

He said in a deep voice: "Spare your life?"

"If I had come a few days later, Miss Liu would have been killed by you!"

Jin Chan said respectfully: "The little one is originally a water monster here. He was nourished by the breath of this rich family.

Miss Liu was quarreling with someone, and a gold hairpin happened to fall into the water, which hit me just as a small punishment. "

Li Yanchu sneered: "You are so clever, where are the people from the White Lotus Sect?!"

The golden toad was shocked and said quickly: "The little one is just a local aquatic tribe. I don't know what the immortal said... the White Lotus Sect."

Li Yanchu had dealt with people from the White Lotus Sect. The skills of the White Lotus Sect were special. He had also used this aura to search before.

The Golden Toad also has the aura of the White Lotus Sect.

Li Yanchu reached out his hand and directly captured Jin Chan's soul.
The terrifying energy swept across every inch,
Soul capture!

Huge memories came flooding back, and Li Yanchu immediately understood the cause and effect.
This golden toad is indeed a spiritual creature in the water, a relatively special existence. No wonder it was able to block his consciousness several times before.
It's just that this thing has been cultivated into a spirit with strong demonic power. Later, it was discovered by the White Lotus Sect, so it joined the White Lotus Sect and taught the method of cultivation.
After that, he often lurks in wealthy people's homes to absorb the noble and golden energy.

This time the White Lotus Sect is going to make a big move in Jingzhou City, trying to revive an ancient existence.
The golden toad swims in the wells of the back houses of wealthy people and also participates in them.
As for this Miss Liu family, he had evil thoughts in his heart and was lingering with Miss Liu family in his dream, which caused Miss Liu family's soul to lose energy, as if she was possessed by an evil spirit.
Therefore, some people in the city who have magic power and Taoism cannot see the root cause.
Another reason is that the demonic aura on this golden toad was covered by the White Lotus Sect's skills and turned into magic power.

"Chunjiang Pavilion."

Li Yanchu raised his eyebrows,
According to Jin Chan's memory, the White Lotus Sect's stronghold is now in the Chunjiang Pavilion, and a big shot in the pavilion came to preside over the ceremony today.

Li Yanchu also knew this person.

It's the King of Forces,

Doyan!
