Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 595: Night Clouds

Li Xuan spotted the secret guards of Prince Zheng's mansion hiding in the woods at a glance.

The secret guard was still wearing the special light-absorbing black cloth. He sat in the shadows, almost blending into the darkness.

It must be Li Xuan, otherwise ordinary people would not be able to detect such a covert method.

Originally he was just guessing, but now it seems that King Zheng’s suspicion has been confirmed.

This was probably another good thing done by King Zheng.

"This old bastard is really causing trouble outside the capital."

The mighty Fuhu Temple was forced into isolation by King Zheng, and even left incense at Ci'en Temple in case of any emergency.

However, Li Xuan couldn't understand what deep hatred King Zheng had with Fuhu Temple that would force others to this extent.

Li Xuan shook his head and stopped thinking about it. After all, once he brought Monk Chengche back to the capital, the truth would be revealed.

He waited for a while, and when Monk Chengche and the others walked away, he immediately took action and used the Ghostly Howling Technique to knock the secret guards unconscious.

Li Xuan came over to check, and after confirming that the secret guard was not shocked to death, he removed his limbs and jaw, trying to make the man lose his ability to move as much as possible to prevent him from causing any trouble after waking up early.

Then he used the light-absorbing black cloth that the secret guard was wearing to wrap the man up and hung him on a tree, not forgetting to leave a mark of the Ministry of Internal Affairs under the tree.

"It seems I have to get some drugs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Li Xuan remembered that the last time he captured the secret guards of Prince Zheng's Palace, Xu Lang and his men drugged the captured secret guards and then escorted them back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs safely.

Li Xuan didn't have these things with him, and only felt inconvenienced now when he needed them.

"No, I want some of the Flowery Eunuch's regular equipment. Maybe they will be useful in the future."

In the past, he was only concerned with stuffing some survival supplies into the Dihong Bone Ring, with food and water accounting for the majority.

After all, he was always thinking about running away every day, taking the two girls away from the palace, which was a dangerous place.

The current Jingyang Palace is no longer what it used to be. The three little ones are deeply bound to Emperor Yongyuan by interests, so there is no need for them to run away. They even have to stay and guard the ancestral property of Daxing together.

After Li Xuan dealt with the secret guard, he quickly caught up with Monk Chengche and the others.

As he walked along the way, Li Xuan encountered several secret guards who were following him. He did the same thing as before and hung them one by one on the nearby trees, waiting to collect them later.

These secret guards did not follow the monk Chengche in front, but stayed in one place and monitored the surroundings.

It seems that the secret guards should have divided their surveillance areas. As for why, I'm afraid Li Xuan will find out in no time.

Because as they continued to move forward, Li Xuan discovered that the secret guards appeared more and more frequently.

After a while, Li Xuan had hung the tenth secret guard on the tree.

King Zheng dispatched so many secret guards that Li Xuan couldn't help but worry about Monk Chengche and his group in front of him.

Since the other party dared to take action, it means that they have figured out the strength of Monk Chengche and others and are confident of defeating them.

Monk Chengche's Taoism is not weak, Li Xuan has seen it before.

If King Zheng wants to take down Monk Chengche, he must at least mobilize a group of equally powerful men like Shang Zongguan and Zhao Feng.

Li Xuan guessed that it was most likely a second-grade expert who was able to display the Dao realm.

He couldn't help but look back at the way he came, but still couldn't find any trace of the eunuch in flowery clothes.

"Butler Shang is a little slow..."

Li Xuan couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Manager Shang said that after making arrangements, he would follow him immediately.

But now half a day has passed, and Li Xuan still hasn't waited for the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to join him.

Monk Chengche and his companions were not walking fast, but if they continued walking like this, it would take even longer for the people from the Imperial Household Department to catch up.

Li Xuan was afraid that they would not be able to catch up, and in the end he could only watch Monk Chengche get into trouble in front of him.

Although Li Xuan has made some breakthroughs recently, he still doesn't have much to do when facing the upper three levels of Tao.

Not to mention the second-grade Dao realm. If he himself is trapped, it is hard to say whether he can escape.

But things have come to this point, it would be inappropriate for Li Xuan to back down.

Moreover, he had seen the skills of the Fuhu Temple, and now he owed the Fuhu Temple a favor.

"Meow, I haven't figured out my technique yet, you guys can't be destroyed!"

Li Xuan gritted his teeth and continued to follow.

Not long after, Li Xuan discovered the secret guards again, but this time he did not choose to subdue them.

This is a team of secret guards, a total of ten people, hiding around Monk Chengche and his men, monitoring them from a long distance.

This team of secret guards was different from the previous ones. They were conducting a tail-and-tail surveillance.

The sudden change in the secret guards' surveillance method gave Li Xuan a bad feeling.

It got dark especially early today.

Although the days are short and the nights are long in the cold winter, Li Xuan felt that Monk Chengche and his companions did not travel very far in this afternoon.

But it was already dark, and Monk Chengche had no intention of taking his disciples on a night journey.

The capital city and Jiangnan Road are very far apart, and it is not a distance they can reach by traveling for a few more days at night.

But now there was no village in front and no shop behind, so they could only sleep in the wild for one night.

This is a common thing for people who travel around the world.

In a winter like this, sleeping in the wild would be fatal for ordinary people, but for warriors it would just be a little uncomfortable.

And with the presence of Monk Chengche, a third-grade master, it wouldn't be necessary for everyone to sleep in the snow.

Monk Chengche led his disciples into the woods beside the road and found a flat, open area.

Then Monk Chengche led his disciples to recite a scripture in the woods, and then they actually started to build a rough wooden house.

The thick tree trunk was cut off by Monk Chengche with just a wave of his hand.

Then the disciples of Fuhu Temple came forward and used their iron hands to smooth the tree trunk and polish it until it was smooth and flat.

Then some grooves will be left on these polished tree trunks so that they can fit tightly into each other, and then they will be pieced together like building blocks.

It was completed in a short while with such high efficiency that it was obviously not the first time they had done this.

"Fuhu Temple also does civil engineering part-time, right?"

"You even know how to use mortise and tenon structure. That's quite professional."

After the cabin was built, Monk Chengche took his disciples in to rest.

After the fire was lit in the room, it soon became warm.

A few Fuhu Temple disciples who still had energy continued to open windows on the wall, decorate the entrance, and hang blank wooden plaques.

They looked like they were actually enjoying it.

Monk Chengche did not scold them for their behavior. He sat at the door, holding a large piece of remaining wood in his hand. He used a chisel that he found from somewhere to rub off the wood chips bit by bit and started carving.

Li Xuan recognized the tools in Monk Chengche's hand because he had come into contact with many carpentry tools when Princess Ankang was carving a wooden statue for Concubine Xiao.

He never imagined that Monk Chengche actually carried this thing with him.

The clear monk who was rubbing the wood seemed calmer than ever before.

Thanks to Monk Chengche's efforts, the piece of wood gradually took shape.

Monk Chengche was carving a human figure, but the figure was a little big, about the same height as an ordinary person.

It was because Monk Chengche was of a large build that he was able to hold such a large piece of wood in his arms and carve it.

Li Xuan secretly looked at Monk Chengche, and then at the Fuhu Temple disciples who were decorating the cabin. He was thoughtful for a moment and understood something. "Fuhu Temple is not unaware of the problem with its own skills."

"I just chose this way to comfort myself."

At this moment, Li Xuan also seemed to understand the difficulties of Fuhu Temple.

They have to practice their skills, as the people around them and the peace of Jiangnan Road need their protection. Moreover, if those bandits who were once eliminated by them knew that Fuhu Temple is not as good as before, they will definitely come to seek revenge.

They also knew the problems in the practice, but they had no choice but to continue practicing.

But as his cultivation level improved, his temperament became more violent.

It’s okay when there are evil people who can be punished, but what about on ordinary days?
The wooden carvings of building houses in front of us seem to be the answer that Fuhu Temple has found.

If he didn't use this method to adjust his mindset, the monks in Fuhu Temple would probably be several times more disgusting than when Li Xuanyi first saw them.

Li Xuan sighed, not knowing what to say.

"The monks at Fuhu Temple are really stubborn."

At this time, the Fuhu Temple disciple who had hung up the plaque said to Monk Chengche:

"Uncle Master, I have finished the plaque. Please help me write the words. I can't reach it."

"Idiot, why don't you write the words before hanging them up?" Monk Chengche couldn't help but curse when his carving was interrupted.

The disciple who was scolded touched his head and smiled shyly, and actually didn't take it to heart.

Monk Chengche put down the half-carved wood in his hand unhappily, then stood up and stretched out his hand towards the plaque above his head.

A golden shadow immediately appeared on his arm and transformed into a big hand.

The Fu Hu Temple disciples standing nearby were watching this scene with shining eyes, wishing they could go forward and hug the golden shadow and give it a kiss.

The other disciples who were resting in the house also noticed this scene and rushed to the door.

"Uncle Master is using the Acala Body!"

The disciples of Fuhu Temple seemed to be looking forward to this scene very much. They gathered in front of the door and watched Monk Chengche write the inscription on the plaque.

【Land God Temple】

Monk Chengche wrote these three words on the plaque stroke by stroke.

Although the handwriting is not very beautiful, it is neat and tidy.

Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw it. He originally thought that Monk Chengche would write something like "the house was built in Fuhu Temple", but he simply wrote the three words "Tudi Temple".

Looking at the wood that Monk Chengche had just carved, it really resembled a kind old man.

When Monk Chengche finished writing the inscription on the plaque, the disciples of Fuhu Temple immediately cheered:

"Well, Master, you are very capable!"

"Acalanatha's physical ability is so good at being able to move with ease that even the abbot is not as good as him!"

"As expected, he is the first Acala of Fuhu Temple!"

The disciples of Fuhu Temple were very respectful.

They all practiced the Wrathful Vajra Body, and if they achieve success in the future, they would all practice the Acalanatha Body.

On weekdays, whenever they had the chance, they would try every means to get their uncles to show them the Acalanatha body.

Now that Monk Chengche has satisfied them, they naturally have to praise him well so that they can continue to deceive him in the future.

"Get out! Get out!"

When Monk Chengche heard these rascals speaking without restraint, he waved his hands and cursed.

"I see that you guys are still not tired. If you are not tired, then go out and practice until you are tired and want to sleep!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples of Fuhu Temple immediately scattered like birds and beasts, yawned, walked into the house, lay down on the ground and fell asleep.

"These bastards."

Monk Chengche cursed, then sat back at the door with a smile and continued carving his own God of Land.

After we enshrine the God of Land later, the land temple will be completed.

In the future, it will be convenient for travelers to come in and take a rest, which can be considered a good deed.

Li Xuan lay on a tree branch facing the land temple, looking at the secret guards who were lying in ambush all around.

He couldn't help but look in the direction of the capital, feeling a little strange.

"Today is too slow."

Li Xuan estimated that King Zheng's men would probably take action soon.

But it would definitely not be these secret guards who would take action. At most, they would be responsible for guarding the surroundings and temporarily clearing out irrelevant people.

As for the person who is really going to take action, Li Xuan has not sensed it yet.

"I hope it's in time."

When Li Xuangang thought of this, his body suddenly tensed up and his hair stood on end.

He suddenly looked up at the sky and immediately realized something was wrong.

The five elements of heaven and earth are changing rapidly. A large amount of pure fire power is constantly transforming and forming, almost filling this world.

"Oops!"

How could Li Xuan, who had seen such a scene once, not know that someone had activated the Dao realm?

Li Xuan was about to escape from here, but found himself covered by the range of the Dao Realm.

"Meow, this coverage!?"

Li Xuan realized something was wrong and immediately transformed his own attributes into fire, integrating into this Taoist realm.

At this moment, a faint fire suddenly appeared in the dark night sky and gradually became brighter.

Before they knew it, a huge cloud of fire had formed above their heads.

The red glow inside the fire cloud appears and disappears from time to time, as if it has life.

Monk Chengche looked up at the sky calmly, sighed helplessly, and put down the unfinished land god in his hand.

He placed the God of Land in the temple and then walked out to the open space.

The next moment, the sky above was suddenly illuminated, and a rain of fire poured down from the flaming clouds, targeting the open space where Monk Chengche was standing and the newly built land temple behind him.

The rain of fire was composed of huge fire meteors, carrying a terrifying and awe-inspiring power.

But Monk Chengche's eyes were determined and he immediately transformed into a huge Vajra shadow, vowing to stop the rain of fire.

"The evil heretic is not going to die!"

Monk Chengche opened his right palm, aimed at the rain of fire falling from the sky, and hid his left hand at his waist to gather strength.

The phantom of King Kong that he transformed into also made the same move.

"Seven kills..."

But before Monk Chengche could make a move, the fiery clouds in the sky suddenly emitted a dazzling red light.

The virtual image of King Kong was illuminated by the red light, and it made a sharp hissing sound and continuously emitted white smoke.

Then, Li Xuan saw that the Vajra shadow created by Monk Chengche began to melt little by little.

"Attributes counteract each other!?"
