Chapter 1085 Shocking News
After Fahai left, there was no news for several months.

But Amber was not worried. After all, with the opponent's strength, he was probably ranked among the top in the entire Jing Kingdom. In addition, he has always been a low-key person, so he should not cause too much trouble.

At most, they are just those two snake monsters.

However, Jinshan Temple was in complete decline. The already scarce incense offerings became almost non-existent. After Fahai left, several monks left the temple.

By now, only Amber and Chuankong were left, as well as a few old monks in the kitchen and the Sutra Library who were too old to walk.

It is such a big temple, but with so few people, that many places are covered with dust.

Finally, Chuankong proposed to seal all the halls except the Main Hall and the Mountain Gate Hall.

He is responsible for guarding the mountain gate, opening and closing it every day, cleaning, and lighting incense and adding oil to the Buddhist shrine. Amber is responsible for managing the Main Hall. In addition to daily cleaning, he also has to answer questions and resolve doubts for possible pilgrims.

This job is actually not easy. When Jinshan Temple was bustling in the past, Abbot Feifahai and Abbot Weiyuan were not capable of doing it.

But it is different now. It is rare to see a few people coming to burn incense in ten days or half a month.

Therefore, Amber spent more time on farming.

The few acres of land that Fahai had arranged to reclaim had already been planted, with the kitchen monk, who was said to have been a farmer for more than ten years, giving advice, and Amber being in charge of the labor.

For him, this wasn't even a warm-up, so of course there was no problem.

The problem of food and clothing was solved, and although life was a little hard, it seemed to be okay.

Of course, these are for true monks like Chuankongdeng.

Amber herself ate meat and drank wine every day, and there was no difference at all.

With his leg strength, he didn't have to spend much time going up and down the mountain every day. With the occasional small animals hunted by his eagle, he felt more comfortable than before.

This morning.

Amber, who had just fertilized the fields, found that all the wine she had stored had been drunk.

For a wine lover, if he can't take a few sips when he wants to, it's like having ants crawling on his body.

Um.
Amber doesn't admit that she has an alcohol addiction, but she has to drink when she wants to, that's all.

After saying hello to Chuankong in front of him, he carried Sanhua and rushed towards Chajiang Town at the foot of the mountain.

This town is named after the Chajiang River, which is a key waterway for Jingguo's canal transportation. There are many people traveling back and forth between the south and the north, so the town is well-informed about news from all over the place.

In addition, the goods here are also very diverse. As long as you have money, you can get all kinds of strange things.

The complex environment made it very convenient for Amber to enter and exit places like taverns even if he was dressed as a monk. Occasionally, he could even go to the butcher to buy a few pounds of meat to satisfy his hunger.

As for money, he could only say that he could never spend it all.

Time flies by.

After Amber arrived in the town, she first ordered some wine and then went to a nearby restaurant to eat something.

They were all old acquaintances, and when he arrived, the waiter immediately took him to a seat by the window in the corner.

From here you can have a panoramic view of the entire pub, yet it is very inconspicuous, making it a very nice place.

Amber sat here the last few times she came.

Not long after, the food was served.

While eating, the conversation of several traveling merchants in front of him on the left attracted his attention.

"Hey, have you heard? A disaster happened in Yuhang. It is said that a snake demon several dozen feet long appeared from nowhere and used magic to flood the entire county."

Hmm? Why is Yuhang flooded?
Amber stopped eating and listened carefully.

"Everyone knows about this, and what you heard is wrong. It's not just one snake, but two. One is blue and the other is white. It's scary to death."

"Fortunately, they are not on our side, otherwise, who knows how many people would have died."

"Is there no one expert to stop it?" someone asked.

"Of course there is."

The person who had spoken before became more alert and immediately said, "It is said that when the snake demon was causing chaos, there was a senior monk who tried to stop it. His skills were very powerful. He could make the wind and clouds change with a wave of his hand and shake the earth with a stomp of his foot. It's just a pity."

"What's a pity?"

"It's a pity that he was no match for me. I was lucky enough to see the white snake take out a black object from somewhere. The object grew in the wind and finally turned into a giant mouth that swallowed the monk whole."

Click!

The chopsticks in Amber's hand broke with a sound.

"Guest, what are you doing?"

The waiter who was carrying the meal was startled.

"nothing."

Amber put down the broken chopsticks expressionlessly, then took out a new pair and started eating quietly.

After eating and drinking his fill and paying for his meal, he did not leave immediately but waited quietly.

It wasn't until the man walked out of the tavern that Amber followed him slowly.

After walking and stopping for a while, both sides finally stopped in front of an alley.

"Monk, you followed me all the way, what on earth are you trying to do?!"

After all, this man had been walking outside for a long time and had learned some self-defense methods. Amber was dressed like a monk, so he was not too worried. He just found a remote place to ask questions.

"I would like to know the details of what you just said, could you please tell me?"

Amber said with a calm expression.

"Oh, this, why didn't you say so earlier?"

The man breathed a sigh of relief. "I am lucky, otherwise I would have become a ghost in the river by now."

Amber didn't respond, but just looked at the other person silently.

The man touched his nose and said to himself, "Monk, is this the attitude you take when you want to find out something?"

"If it were an ordinary person, I would have a different attitude, but you, my Lord."

Amber still spoke in the same gentle tone as before: "You really think that others can't smell the demonic aura on your body? Tell me, who sent you here to spread this news! Otherwise, although I don't have any prejudice against monsters, it's not a big deal to get rid of one or two."

"No, no, no, please calm down, Master!"

When the man saw that he was exposed at a glance, he was immediately frightened and his originally normal face changed, and his head became a gray rat head.

"This is unfair to me, little demon. I have been in Yuhang for nearly a hundred years. Not long ago, I finally transformed into a human form. I was just about to live a carefree life, but someone put something in my brain. As long as I don't do what that thing wants, I will feel unbearable pain."

"Is what you just said true?"

Amber asked with empty eyes.

"It's true."

The rat demon nodded immediately, "I saw it with my own eyes. The powerful monk was captured by the snake demon in some unknown way. It was really terrifying."

"Are the pair of snake demons still in Yuhang?"

Amber asked again.

“This one should be here.”

The rat demon nodded and said, "According to what my little boy said, the snake demon fell in love with a scholar and even got married to him. I'm afraid he can't bear to leave."
