Chapter 111, Lu Yue + rope + firewood = barbecue
It's late at night and everything is silent.

At this moment in the main hall, a piece of bacon was hanging on the beam, giving off a faint oily sheen.

Lu Yue sat cross-legged and opened his eyes when he heard some noise outside.

Only then could he see clearly the appearance of the person who came in. She was a woman in her early twenties, dressed in rags, with an anemic face, and she looked quite like Lin Daiyu.

"Young man, why haven't I seen you before? Isn't the master at home?" the woman asked in a weak voice.

Does this mean you know an ascetic?
Lu Yue pondered for a moment and said, "The master and I hit it off right away. Yesterday, he traveled west and specifically asked me to help him look after the temple."

The woman didn't care. Her eyes wandered between Lu Yue and the bacon. Finally, she swallowed and stopped at the bacon, drooling.

"Master, why didn't you tell me that you were leaving for the west?"

Lu Yue was silent. It didn’t matter whether he said it or not. Just by looking at the look in their eyes, he could tell that the two of them were the same kind of people. He would send you to travel west with the master later.

Lu Yue felt a chill in his heart. He stood up and approached the woman, his kidneys beating restlessly.

"The master is really dishonest. He bought the meat secretly without telling his old friend."

Lu Yue, who was about to take action, forced himself to suppress the unbearable heat in his kidney.

Is there any place to sell this bacon?

Isn't the one in my hand unique?

If he could find a place to sell it and have exclusive sales rights, the copper coins would come to his account quickly. In just a moment, Lu Yue had an idea in his mind.

"Little brother, do you know that it is very dangerous for you to run around the streets carrying this bacon during the day? The city of Chaoge is not peaceful at night." The woman whispered with concern.

Lu Yue's expression immediately changed. He scratched his head and acted like a person who was inexperienced in the world.

"I remember now. The master told me that an important guest would come to visit. This piece of meat is prepared for the important guest."

"Could it be that my sister is the guest that the master mentioned?"

"If it were a guest, I would take the meat off right away."

Lu Yue took the bacon and prepared to try to find out from this woman whether he could learn something about what happened in Chaoge City in the past and where the bacon was sold.

"Miss, how are you going to eat this piece of bacon?"

"I personally recommend eating it cooked, which can preserve the flavor of the bacon to the greatest extent. It also has the effects of strengthening the spleen and appetite, improving anemia, protecting eyesight, promoting development, and strengthening bones."

"Sister, if you take this, your anemia symptoms will definitely improve, and you'll become Lin Daiyu, who pulls out the weeping willow tree." Lu Yue's face was full of sincerity.

At this time, the woman smiled with a meaningful smile and said, "But I heard that you are what you eat. Shouldn't people with anemia drink blood?"

"If you want to drink my blood, just tell me that I have hemorrhoids and am bleeding. You know, nine out of ten men have hemorrhoids... Miss, do you want it now?"

The woman's body froze. Seeing that Lu Yue was serious, she immediately changed her words and said, "I was just kidding, little brother. How could I believe in such a folk remedy?"

Lu Yue: "Okay, I'll pack it for you later."

The corner of the woman's mouth twitched. She looked around and spoke again: "Let's not talk about blood replenishment for now. Can you tell me and answer a question honestly?"

"Just tell me, sister." Lu Yue said seriously.

"Did you kill the old monk who originally lived here?"

"how do I say this?"

"It looks like a battle has taken place in this hall. Moreover, this meat is so precious that it takes the old monk half a month to save up enough copper coins to buy a piece. This thing should be eaten after it is bought. How can it be left here?"

"I killed him." Lu Yue admitted frankly after thinking for a moment.

"Well done! This kind of monk should go to hell."

Lu Yue: “???????”

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you avenge the ascetic?

Then they torture you and ask you where you bought the bacon. You refuse to tell them, just like an ascetic monk. You know you will die if you tell them, and you will die if you don't tell them. In the end, there is a 50% chance that you will be killed with the secret.

“Little brother, you don’t know, I entered the ruins more than a month ago. I didn’t know anything at that time, so I lived in the side hall outside. In the middle of the night, the old monk boiled water for me to take a bath. While I was taking a bath, the old monk peeped at me…” As the sick woman spoke, two tears squeezed out of the corners of her eyes.

"How ridiculous! He is so cruel, a scum of Buddhism, and a scum of society..." Lu Yue continued speaking.

"I came here for revenge, but I didn't expect that you would fulfill my wish. I have been here for more than a month and found some treasures. I will give them to you today."

The woman put down her backpack while recounting her miserable experience.

Take out a hemp rope full of historical charm from it.

Lu Yue approached curiously, but unexpectedly the sick woman threw the hemp rope casually, and it shot out suddenly like an awakened poisonous snake, instantly wrapping around Lu Yue's body, making a series of harsh creaking sounds.

The woman looked as if she had succeeded in her evil plan and quickly picked up the bacon beside her.

"What do you mean, little sister?"

"If you just want the bacon, just take it. Why did you tie me up?"

"Little brother, stop struggling. This is a damaged intermediate magic weapon that specifically targets the spiritual energy in the bodies of extraordinary people. The more you mobilize the spiritual energy in your body to struggle, the tighter it will bind you."

Lu Yue: “…”

Specifically for Reiki?

The more spiritual energy there is, the tighter it should be tied?
At this time, the sick woman, who was confident of victory, was gathering firewood deftly, her movements so skillful that she looked like she was cooking on the spot, but the only bronze tripod used for cooking in this temple was broken.

Lu Yue was a little curious about how the other party would cook.

Until he saw the woman setting up a barbecue grill on the spot.

"Miss, I've only heard of roasting a whole lamb. You want to roast bacon. This is the first time I've seen it eaten this way."

"Who said it was for roasting bacon?"

The woman raised a strange smile and looked at Lu Yue. She said sinisterly, "The bacon is for cultivation. Your heart is delicious."

Like an ascetic monk, he only picks the hearts of extraordinary people?
"If you really want to eat me, just tell me. Being eaten by you is a blessing I have earned in this life. If you think I taste bland, I have some marinade here that you can grind into powder and sprinkle on top."

"Even if it's a simple barbecue, the ritual cannot be lost." Lu Yue made a serious suggestion.

The sick woman looked confused.

The extraordinary person who was tied up by him with ropes in the past has now begun to beg for mercy. Why is this extraordinary person different from the others?

Seeing the sick woman freeze, Lu Yue continued, "But sister, can you tell me about buying bacon before eating me? I heard the chef say that before enjoying a meal, the mood of the ingredients often affects the taste. Sister probably doesn't want me to be eaten with doubts, otherwise the meat will be dry and sticky and easy to get stuck in my teeth."

The sick woman began to hesitate, and seemed really worried about the quality of the meat.

In the past, when I ate there, those extraordinary people were indeed not tasty.

After repeatedly making sure the rope was tied tightly, the sick woman spoke coldly, "Two months ago, the food in the whole city disappeared, and the concentration of spiritual energy gradually decreased. We, the extraordinary people who entered early, are starving. Let alone practicing, we will probably starve to death here if this continues."

"You know what people do when they're starving to death?"

"If you don't want to starve to death, you have to find something to eat..."

"Those ancients are just projections. What do you think we should find to eat?"

"You killed the ascetic monk. He should have told you something. We, the extraordinary people, are labeled as lunatics. Hunting down the new extraordinary people is not only for the purpose of becoming gods, but also for the purpose of survival."

"Later, someone discovered that there was a palace in the south of the city that was selling spirit wine and bacon. These were not ordinary foods, but natural treasures. However, the things sold there were too expensive." "A two-pound bacon was sold to me for fifteen copper coins!!!"

"We can't afford it. Even if we stay up all night and take on quests in Chaoge City, we'll have to take on quests for at least half a month before we can buy one."

"Some people took the risk of killing those ancients to steal the copper coins, but were excluded by the rules and starved to death outside. However, those people did not die in vain. At least their corpses allowed us to survive."

Lu Yue was shocked.

Fifteen copper coins, this is indeed an astronomical figure.

This is based on the premise that the ancients were honest and it would take them half a month to earn enough.

At this time, the woman licked her lips, and the simple barbecue grill had been set up.

"How about it? Are you feeling better now? Can I eat you now?"

Lu Yue said seriously, "It's much more comfortable. It would be great if everyone I meet could answer whatever I ask like you. Now I have one last question. How much money did you bring when you came here in the middle of the night?"

"What do you mean?" The sick woman suddenly realized that something was wrong. She turned to look at Lu Yue. She found that the straw rope on Lu Yue's body began to fall off automatically.

This is impossible!

The straw rope is specifically designed to target the spiritual energy of the extraordinary people. Even if the extraordinary people deliberately do not activate their spiritual energy to break free, it will automatically absorb the spiritual energy in their bodies, thus achieving the effect of automatic tightening.

bang~
Lu Yue threw a powerful punch, which blew the woman away with a sound of breaking wind. Her body formed a C shape, and she stumbled and bumped against each other all the way, and was finally buried by the rubble of the Buddha statue in the main hall.

All these changes happened too fast.

Caught people off guard.

"I mean if you don't have enough money you'll suffer."

Lu Yue spoke slowly and picked up the damaged intermediate magic weapon on the ground. This thing was rare and did not require spiritual energy to activate. It was specifically targeted at the spiritual energy in the bodies of extraordinary people, so he could use it.

After doing all this, Lu Yue walked into the main hall and began to eradicate the evil, while searching for corpses. However, when he entered the main hall, he did not find any trace of the woman.

"Ran?"

Lu Yue frowned, he did not sense the woman running away, unless she was at Taoist Fang's level which made him completely unable to sense it. Obviously, this woman could not be at that level.

So… this is her special ability again.

Just like the six senses of an ascetic monk.

"Sister, are you still there?"

"Still drinking blood?"

"I'm standing here, come out and eat me." Lu Yue's voice echoed in the hall, but no one responded.

"I have seen you, but I won't say anything. If you stand up, I might let you go. I will count to three, and after three you will be killed without a complete body."

"one two three."

The main hall was silent, as if Lu Yue was talking to himself.

This woman's ability is indeed special, and Lu Yue didn't even notice her.

"You think I'm bluffing?"

There was still no response in the main hall, but Lu Yue knew very well that the other party must be here. If it was an ability like the Ghost Wall, there was no way he would not have noticed it.

So this woman should just be using her ability to hide.

"Well hidden, young lady, have you ever been to the hospital for an X-ray?"

"It's dark, please close your eyes!"

Topaz body!
The next second, a soft yellow light burst out from Lu Yue's body.

Another function of the jade body's light is to discover anything unusual, such as Zhang Yaling's body bag. The green jade body could not shine through it, which proved that there was a problem there.

The topaz light instantly penetrated every inch of the main hall, like a radar exploration, revealing even the tiniest gap.

Lu Yue's eyes flashed and scanned slowly, finally stopping behind the stone Buddha's head. An imperceptible outline was clearly revealed in the interweaving of light and shadow.

"You're as ridiculous as your cover."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yue suddenly jumped up and punched the rubble of the Buddha statue.

Amid the flying rubble, the figure of the sick woman was revealed, her eyes full of shock and fear. Her ability was similar to invisibility, not only her body, but also the spiritual energy in her body, which was why she was able to survive in the ruins for so long.

How could it be discovered!!!!

And the yellow light on this man is so dazzling.

"Come on, keep hiding!"

"Let's see whether you can hide deeper or I can take a quick photo."

Lu Yue launched another attack. The kidney pill in his body trembled violently. His body suddenly rose up like a cannonball, carrying a rolling heat wave. His fists whistled, and the air was torn apart wherever they passed. The woman's body made a sharp sound like broken glass.

The opponent's defense is completely not on the same level as the ascetic.

Only the stealth ability is somewhat acceptable.

The sick woman finally realized her situation. Fear flashed in her eyes. She tried to escape with the help of her invisibility ability. However, just as she was about to crawl towards the door, a jade hand flashing yellow light stretched out like a ghost.

He grabbed the woman's ankle and dragged her back forcefully.

The door slammed shut, completely blocking the sick woman's escape route.

Bah...bah...

A series of harsh sounds, similar to that of nails scratching against a blackboard, were heard.

On the ground inside the temple, extending from the entrance to the main hall, there are several deep marks left by fingernails scratching the ground.

clap clap clap...

"No... don't... don't kill me." The sick woman's terrified plea for mercy echoed in the air, but Lu Yue ignored her and punched her like a heavy hammer hitting a drum, making the air buzz. As time passed, the plea for mercy became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely.

After the incident was resolved, Lu Yue began to search the corpse and eventually found five copper coins. This woman was slightly richer than the ascetic monk.

Lu Yue shook his head, began to clean up the battlefield, and continued to wait for his chance.

Not long after, another man with bloodshot eyes knocked on the door.

“Isn’t it a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar?”

"The door is not closed, please come in..."

bang bang bang...

The sound of battle came and went quickly, and Lu Yue searched the bodies skillfully.

In the second half of the night, the temple gradually became lively.
