I have just been promoted to Qianhu, and I was shocked to hear that this is a Liaozhai!

Chapter 116 Master Fudo (Please subscribe for more updates)

At the foot of the mountain where Lanruo Temple is located.

Yan Chixia looked at Zuo Dao who landed on the ground and said: "Brother Zuo's talent is really enviable. With the Tao seed in his body, I am afraid that he will surpass Yan in a few years."

If it weren't for the fact that he was strong enough and his chance skills were unparalleled by ordinary people.

Maybe this time I will really be outclassed by Zuodao.

He did not expect that Zuo Dao, who had just come into contact with sword control, could achieve such an extent.

It really made him a little unbelievable.

After landing on the left path, put away the long snake bone knife.

He smiled and said, "Brother Yan, you're welcome. I would like to thank Brother Yan for your help in this Black Mountain Demon Slaying."

'If Brother Yan hadn't taken action, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to kill the monster alone. '

Yan Chixia said: "It is Yan's duty to kill demons, but after today, Yan will travel around the world again. If Brother Zuo is looking for me, he can use this thing to find me."

After finishing speaking, he took out a paper crane made of talismans, with some mana still flowing on it.

Yan Chixia had said before that she wanted to travel around the world.

Now that this incident has made him realize a lot, many things that he couldn't figure out before are now explained.

Having nothing to do and being light-hearted is actually cool and unrestrained.

Zuo Dao took the paper crane and immediately understood its purpose.

With the talisman as the main body and the magic power as the hub, it can search for people thousands of miles or even thousands of miles away and deliver some messages.

It's a very practical little spell.

He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Yan."

Yan Chixia smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Brother Zuo, why are you so polite?"

He took out the wine gourd from his waist and took a sip, then turned and walked away.

After a moment, Yan Chixia's voice came:
"Tao Tao Tao Tao,
Tao, Tao, Tao, Tao.

Road to Road, very Avenue.

The way of heaven, the way of earth, the way of humanity, the way of sword,

Black path, white path, ecliptic equator,

What is the way of things?

My Tao system is very Taoist.

Bah bah bah bah bah nonsense. "

Watching Yan Chixia's figure disappear into the distance.

Zhao Hu came up at this time and said, "This Yan Chixia is really a wonderful person."

Zuo Dao nodded slightly.

Yan Chixia is indeed a wonderful person, but I don't know when they can get together again.

I'm afraid that when we get together again, Yan Chixia will already be a true king.

When a friend of the True Lord comes to sit down and discuss the Tao, it is truly a wonderful thing in life.

Zuo Dao looked at everyone and said, "It's over here. It's time for us to rush to Kyoto to recover."

Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others also had a look of excitement on their faces when they heard this.

They have been away from home for nearly a year.

When they left Beijing, they were still a small general banner, but now they have been transferred to Beijing with their own adults, and they have already reached hundreds of households.

Although he is not a high-ranking official in Kyoto, he can still be said to have returned home in glory.

The one-armed Baihu Dynasty glanced at the newly recruited flag officer beside him.

He opened his mouth and said: "Ma Han, it is your blessing to follow the Lord. When you enter Kyoto, you must change your knight-errant temperament to avoid embarrassing the Lord."

Hearing this, Ma Han patted the royal guard uniform on his body and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, I won't embarrass the governor."

Wang Chao nodded slightly, and then quickly followed.

The group of people marched in the direction of Kyoto.

……

Just when everyone was about to enter Beijing.

In Kyoto at this moment.

Commander Cao Quan looked at the files piled up in front of him, and his face became increasingly ugly.

He looked at the person beside him and asked: "In the past year, three officials in Kyoto have died unexpectedly, and even their official seals were stolen, but you say you haven't found any clues?"

Hearing this, the man said in a panicked voice: "Sir, we also asked our colleagues from the Hermitage Mansion to investigate together, but we really didn't notice any traces remaining."

"Those officials seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a pool of blood in the room."

"The official seal has also been stolen. No matter how much we investigate, we can't find any clues. According to my subordinates, this matter must be caused by the cooperation between the officials and the monsters."

Cao Quan said angrily: "This is Kyoto, and it is at the feet of the emperor. What kind of monster can run wild in Kyoto..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he thought of the national preceptor who was summoned to the palace today to lecture the emperor.

Cao Quan couldn't help but grit his teeth.

There is really a monster in Kyoto, and it is a big monster who has obtained the position of national master.

When he thought of this, he felt extremely angry.

When these three cases just happened, he went to investigate and noticed the evil spirit left at the scene.

And he immediately targeted the national master.

But that was the Grand Master of the Wei Dynasty after all. Without conclusive evidence, how could he go forward to search?

Even his Jin Yiwei couldn't enter the imperial master's door.

Not to mention, the current Imperial Master is deeply loved by the Emperor and is a popular figure in the court.

Afterwards, he went to ask his ancestors.

But the ancestor advised him to put the matter aside for the time being, as if he didn't care about the lives of those officials.

In desperation, he had no choice but to hand over the matter to his subordinates for investigation.

It would be best if we could find some clues, but if we can't, there's nothing we can do about it.

Cao Quan took a deep breath and said: "Let's put this matter on hold for now. It coincides with the imperial examination recently, when all the scholars in the Wei Dynasty will gather in Kyoto."

"This is the grand occasion of our great Wei Dynasty. Moreover, due to the changes in the world, the imperial court also intends to reform the imperial examination system and select some talents other than academic seeds."

"When the time comes, crowds of people will inevitably gather in Kyoto, and we must not allow those who are interested to cause any disturbance at the feet of the Emperor."

"Otherwise, you'll see me later."

When the man heard the words, he immediately responded, then turned and left the room.

Cao Quan leaned back on his chair, turned his head to look in the direction of the palace, frowned tightly, and said, "Ancestor, what are you thinking about?"

"If this continues, Da Wei will be harmed by that big centipede."

……

At this moment, Zuo Dao and others were walking to a mountain col.

This place is hundreds of miles away from the nearest county seat.

Zhang Long looked at the map in his hand and said, "Sir, there are no people living within fifty miles of this place. There is only a small town sixty miles away and a county town a hundred miles away."

"Looking at my humble position, it's better to speed up and rush to that town to spend the night."

Zuo Dao heard this and did not respond. He just looked down at the mountain col not far away.

I saw a man dressed as a scholar, holding a long knife in his hand, chasing a man whose hands were tied behind him.

Behind the two people, a book boy was carrying a book box and desperately chasing the two people in front of him.

Zuo Dao said to the people beside him: "Bring them here."

heard.

Ma Han in the crowd immediately said: "Sir, I will go and bring them later."

After saying that, he immediately rode after him.

Zuo Dao led a few people and walked slowly towards the mountain col.

After a moment.

Ma Han came to Zuo Dao and others with the three scholars who looked frightened.

The originally majestic scholar was like a frightened chicken after meeting Zuo Dao and others.

Zuo Dao looked at the scholar in front of him and felt that he looked familiar.

He said, "Who are you? Why are you chasing him?"

When the scholar heard this, he immediately said: "Master Qi, the younger one's name is Zhu Xiaolian, and he is a scholar who came to Beijing to take the exam."

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the disheveled man with his hands tied beside him.

He continued: "Last night, the book boy and I spent the night in a deserted mountain temple. This guy came in in the middle of the night. We thought he was also a traveler passing by."

"Unexpectedly, this guy is a gangster who makes a living by robbing people on the road. He holds a long knife and wants us to hand over the money."

"I signaled to the book boy, and the two of them took it down together, then tied it up and planned to take it to the official today."

"In the end, this gangster took advantage of me while I was sleeping and tried to seize the knife, but I discovered him. That's why the scene you saw just now happened."

After hearing this, Zhao Hu laughed out loud before Zuo Dao opened his mouth.

Zhao Hu pointed the horsewhip in his hand at the gangster and said, "You said you hold a long knife and make a living by robbing?" Hearing this, the gangster chuckled and said, "It makes you laugh. I only rob the rich and give to the poor. Don’t do anything to people like them.”

Zhao Hu grinned and said: "A gangster who makes a living by robbing, armed with a murderous blade, was subdued by a scholar and a little book boy. It's really a wonderful thing."

Zuo Dao glanced at Zhao Hu, who immediately fell silent.

He looked at the criminal and said, "What's your name?"

The villain quickly said: "The young man's name is Meng Longtan. I have met the adults."

Zhu Xiaolian's side.

The little book boy also whispered: "Sir, the little one's name is Hou Xia."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao couldn't help but touch his chin and said, "It's interesting."

He looked at the three of them and said, "In that case, you will travel with us. When we arrive at the county seat, you will present Menglongtan to the official."

When Zhu Xiaolian heard this, his face immediately showed a hint of joy and said, "Thank you, sir."

Meng Longtan's face was ashen, and he glanced at Zhu Xiaolian unwillingly.

He had really been unlucky for eight lifetimes before he even thought about robbing this poor scholar.

As a result, I didn't get the money and met such a group of evil stars.

He was originally a native of Youzhou. Later, after Jin Yiwei came, everything became much clearer.

So he deliberately came outside Youzhou to rob homes and homes.

Unexpectedly, he met Jin Yiwei.

How could he be so unlucky.

Zuo Dao said: "Send three brothers to take them with them and lead the way."

Zhang Long heard the words and immediately responded.

Then I saw three guards in royal robes riding their horses forward, bending down to pick up the people, and with smooth movements, they directly placed the three people on the horses in front of them.

Amid the cries of pain, the three people walked directly forward.

Zhao Hu was a little puzzled and said, "Sir, why bother? If you want me to see, why don't you chop off the Menglongtan with one knife, and then let the scholar take the scholar to Beijing to take the exam."

"Bringing them along will only hinder our ability. It's not worth the gain!"

Hearing this, Zuo Dao glanced at Zhao Hu and tapped the latter's brain with the riding crop in his hand.

He opened his mouth and said, "You can chop me off with a knife at any time. You have to use your brain more in everything. Use your brain. Do you understand?"

After saying that, he rode forward directly.

Zhao Hu touched his head in confusion, and then said in confusion: "Use your brain more? What do you mean, sir?"

Zhang Long smiled and said: "My lord, I think you are stupid."

When Zhao Hu heard this, he immediately said dissatisfied: "Nonsense, how could I be stupid? You guys know all the nonsense."

Zhang Long glanced at the people in front of him and whispered: "Tell me, when is the day to go to Beijing to take the exam?"

Zhao Hu heard this, thought for a moment, and said, "It should be soon!"

Zhang Long smiled and said: "If these two rely on their foot power, how long will it take to enter Kyoto?"

Zhao Hu grinned and said: "If you don't ride a horse and just rely on the strength of your feet, you can take more than three months at least, and more than four months at most."

Zhang Long nodded and said, "So, you understand now?"

Zhao Hu scratched his head and said: "What you mean is that this scholar has traveled in vain and will miss the day of taking the exam, so you need to take care of them and make a good relationship with them."

Hearing this, Zhang Long couldn't help but sigh and said: "Huzi, listen to your words and use your brain more in the future."

After saying that, he quickly followed.

Zhao Hu looked confused and a little confused.

soon.

It was approaching evening.

The Jin Yiwei who was walking at the front to explore the road suddenly turned around and came back, shouting to everyone: "Sir, we found a temple on a hilltop in front of us. We can go to the temple to spend the night tonight."

Hearing the Jin Yiwei speak, everyone showed a smile.

It is much better to have a place like a temple than to sleep in this deserted mountain.

Hearing this, Zuo Dao said, "Lead the way and spend the night in the temple."

When the man heard the words, he immediately responded and then walked at the front to lead the way.

At this time, Zhang Long stepped forward and said, "Sir, there is no depiction of the temple on the map. I'm afraid there is something strange about this temple."

Zhao Hu grinned and said: "It's just a temple, maybe a temple in a deserted mountain, so it's not on the map. You are too timid."

When Zhang Long heard this, he looked at it with a faint look, and then pointed at his brain.

Zhao Hu's face suddenly darkened.

Zuo Dao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's just a temple. If you go over and take a look, you will know that we can't let our brothers spend the night in this barren mountain."

When Zhang Long heard this, he immediately stopped talking.

By evening.

Everyone finally arrived in front of the temple.

On the top of the mountain, a rather magnificent-looking temple suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Zhao Hu's eyes widened and he said: "How can there be such a temple in this ghost place?"

Zhang Long frowned slightly and said, "There is something strange here."

Zuo Dao glanced at the three people on the horse. Their faces were pale from the jolt, and they were retching as hard as they could.

He said: "Okay, put them down, we will stay here tonight."

Hearing Zuo Dao speak, a group of Jinyi guards obeyed and put the three people off their horses.

As soon as the three of them landed, they lay on the ground and retched.

They were lying on the horse so hard that they almost vomited out the gall. They were really afraid that they would die on the horse.

If he really died on horseback, he would probably become a laughing stock in the world.

Zuo Dao turned over and dismounted, handed the horse to a royal guard beside him, then raised his feet and walked in.

Entering the main hall, I saw a short monk holding a broom and cleaning the main hall.

As if he noticed someone entering the hall, he raised his head.

After seeing Zuo Dao and others, he immediately clasped his hands and said, "I don't move, poor monk. I have seen all the donors."

Zuo Dao used his Qi-gazing technique to look.

There was nothing special about the monk in front of him, just like an ordinary mortal.

But in this damn place, how could it be possible for a mortal to build such a magnificent Buddhist temple?

He smiled and said: "I am the governor of Youzhou, Zuo Dao. I have been transferred to Beijing by the emperor's order. I am passing by here. I hope it will be convenient for you, master, to let me rest in the temple for one night."

Hearing Zuo Dao speak, Master Fudo smiled and said, "What's wrong with that?"

Zuo Dao looked around and said, "In such a big Buddhist temple, is there only one master? Why don't you see anyone else?"

Master Fudo smiled and said: "The Buddhist temple in this mountain is difficult. They couldn't bear the life here, so they went down the mountain."

talking.

He looked at the people behind Zuo Dao and said, "I will prepare a room for you all so that you can have a good night's rest."

Immediately, he turned around and walked toward the back of the hall.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Long followed with several Jin Yiwei, as if preparing to help Master Fudo sort it out.

Soon.

Zhao Hu came to Zuo Dao and said, "Sir, this place seems to be just an ordinary Buddhist temple."

"This Buddhist temple is a bit unorthodox. In the side hall, there is a wall. The paintings on the wall are all beauties. They are so lifelike that they are really amazing."

Hearing Zhao Hu speak, Zuo Dao nodded slightly, and then said: "It doesn't matter, I will ask the master later."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Master Fudo walking in with a group of royal guards.

He looked at everyone, clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha! The guest rooms have been prepared for you all. You can go and rest at any time."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao smiled and said, "Before that, can you ask the master for some fast food?"

He pointed at Zhu Xiaolian and the other two people behind him and said, "We are all carrying dry food. I'm afraid these three are not used to eating, so Master Lao will let them fill their bellies."

Master Fudo smiled and said: "This is a simple matter. You really have a bodhisattva heart and are destined to be my Buddha."

Just when he was about to turn around.

I heard Zuo Dao continue to speak: "Just now, my subordinates came to report that in the side hall, they found a wall with a painting of a beautiful woman. I wonder what this means?"

When Master Fudo heard this, he said seriously: "It's just a legacy from our predecessors. You don't need to care about it."

After finishing speaking, he went to bring some leftovers for Zhu Xiaolian and the three of them to eat.

Zuo Dao went to the side hall, wanting to see the walls covered with beauties.

When he came to the side hall, he saw the wall.

The background of the painting on the wall seems to be a place similar to a palace. In the center, there is a beautiful woman wearing a blue-green dress sitting.

And all around, there are beauties in gorgeous clothes, all with charming postures, and their appearance is like that of gods.

And this kind of painter is just as Zhao Hu said.

Impressive!
