Chapter 25: The Old Monk

Li Chenfeng snorted casually, and then reached out to comb Lu Youwei's bangs that were blown by the wind.

"Yo, that's a coincidence."

Although Qiming is not good-looking, he always gives people a pleasant feeling.

"It's not a coincidence, it's that I'm specifically looking for three."

"Looking for us? What's the matter? ”

"If my guess is correct, the three of you must be worrying about money right now, you need accommodation and food. I'm sorry I wasn't able to get that bounty for you. ”

Li Chenfeng didn't like this monk, but he didn't hate it, so his tone of voice to him was always hot and cold. "It's because my own skills are not as good as others, how can I blame others."

Qiming sighed, "It's strange that this matter is indeed too tricky, I've never seen such a powerful fox when I'm so big." ”

"You see she's a fox, too?"

"After all, it is one of the three major yokai in Japan, and compared to the Great Tengu and the Wine Swallowing Boy, the nine-tailed fox's enchanting illusion seems to be the most tricky."

Zhou Ming frowned, and then said, "In my opinion, he shouldn't have the Nine-Tails yet, otherwise you wouldn't be able to leave there alive today." ”

Li Chenfeng said: "Today I fell into her hands, if she wanted to kill me, it would be easy, but for some reason she let me go." ”

Keiaki said: "I think it's because of Miss Seto, it was Miss Seto's subconscious that suppressed the demon fox's killing thoughts, and the situation I encountered was exactly the same as that of Master Li. ”

"It doesn't matter anyway, no matter how powerful the demon fox is, it hasn't been leveled by the guy called Ueno."

Qiming nodded, "Speaking of Mr. Ueno, it is indeed unfathomable, I haven't seen his way of subduing demons yet, there are nearly ten sects of exorcism in Japan, but he doesn't seem to be similar to any of them." ”

"Okay, okay, it doesn't matter which one he is, I'm not interested in that guy in Ueno."

"Then what is Master Li interested in?"

"I'm only interested in money, I just know that if we don't have money, we'll sleep in a bridge tonight and go hungry."

"It seems that the bonus is really important to you, if you don't dislike it, go to my master's temple, although it is not as luxurious as Seto Mansion, but it can still provide basic food and accommodation for the three of you."

Li Chenfeng suddenly lit up, "Is there such a good thing?" I can tell you in advance, we really don't have a penny on us, and we can't get it when we have to ask someone for sesame oil. ”

"Don't worry, the old man is merciful, and he often takes in some wandering beggars and provides them with free food."

Li Chenfeng's heart was sour, he didn't expect that they were now down to the point of being like beggars.

Zhou Ming said in a low voice: "Do you really want to go?" ”

"Let's eat and live for nothing, and fools won't go."

The temple is on a hill, and next to it is a dilapidated shrine, and walking on the mossy bluestone steps, looking at the towering ancient trees around you, there is always an indescribable feeling in your heart.

The air here is very humid and the temperature is several degrees lower than that below the mountain, which is the place where yin energy gathers. Temples often like to be built in such places, because in most places monks are often responsible for subduing demons and eliminating demons, and there are countless Buddhist scriptures about this kind.

The temple is built in such a place to balance the yin energy here and ensure peace.

In addition, there are generally a large number of demons and monsters gathered around the temple, because monks often pull a lot of hatred in the process of subduing demons and eliminating demons, and all kinds of demons and monsters want revenge, but they have no ability to break into the temple, so they like to gather around the temple.

Every night, there is always a strange aura around the temple, and the temple at this time is like a Shura field, with all kinds of murderous intentions lurking.

When we arrived at the temple, it was already dusk, and the temple hidden under the ancient trees was small and delicate, but from the current point of view, it was not atmospheric, so it is conceivable that there should not be much incense here.

Outside the main gate of the temple stand six stone pillars, each of which is topped by an octagonal mirror with many charms affixed around it.

Beneath a stone pillar at the foreground was an old monk, his head was bare, but he had long eyebrows and a beard, but they were all snow-white. His back was a little rickety, his body seemed to be supported by the Zen staff in his hand, and he was wearing the same white clothes as Qiming.

Qiming had told Li Chenfeng that his master was a Chinese before, so looking at this rickety old monk at this moment, Li Chenfeng felt an indescribable cordiality, maybe this is the old acquaintance of his hometown.

The old monk stood there very calmly, he had already noticed Li Chenfeng and the others, but his eyes gave people the feeling that he hadn't seen anything, he didn't know Li Chenfeng, but Qiming was his apprentice, he shouldn't have behaved like this.

Qiming walked in the front, and his face showed a kind of joy after seeing the old monk, this joy was like a prodigal son who went home to see his parents in his hometown, although the scene was warm, but the old monk was still unmoved, if a sculpture was motionless.

"Master, is dinner ready, why don't I go and prepare it now?"

The old monk seemed to be blind to Qiming, staring at Li Chenfeng and the others with a pair of eyes, to be precise, he paid attention to Lu Youwei.

Lu Youwei's temperament has changed greatly since she followed Li Chenfeng, she treats people and things very kindly, and most of the time she will greet strangers warmly, which is very easy to get along with.

At this time, Li Chenfeng had a very ominous premonition, it seemed to be a murderous aura, a very strong murderous aura.

The old monk passed by Qiming, and slowly leaned towards Li Chenfeng and the others, Li Chenfeng was suddenly shocked, and instantly thought of something.

The other party is a jealous mage who takes it as his responsibility to subdue demons and eliminate demons, but Lu Youwei is a corpse.

Lu Youwei has a thousand years of cultivation, so many times it is difficult for even a mage to see her true identity, such as Qiming, who only thinks she is an ordinary girl until now.

The old monk's Taoism seems to be very deep, so ......

By the time Li Chenfeng thought of this, it seemed that it was already late, and Lu Youwei was about to greet him with a smile. The old monk's feet suddenly increased, don't look at his body and beard, his speed at the moment can almost race the cheetah.

With a golden light on his Zen staff, he attacked directly towards Lu Youwei, Lu Youwei was a little caught off guard, Li Chenfeng and Zhou Ming were shocked, and they didn't care about it.

The old monk shot extremely hard, as if he wanted to take Lu Youwei's life with one blow, this was the first time Li Chenfeng had confronted "people", he really didn't know what tricks to use, most of the things in "Tianyan Thirty-six Laws" were not effective for people.

But in the same way, the tricks used by the old monk should also cause very little damage to people, thinking of this, Li Chenfeng directly reached out but blocked the old monk's Zen staff, and Zhou Ming also bullied the old monk at a very fast speed.

But at this time, the old monk's Zen staff had not yet fallen on Li Chenfeng's body, but he suddenly fell down, screaming bitterly in his mouth, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing such a scene, Li Chenfeng and the three of them became dumbfounded, and Qiming hurriedly helped the old monk.

"Master, what's wrong with you."

The old monk gasped for breath, looking very painful.

"Hurry up, you're no match for them."

Li Chenfeng knew that it was because of Lu Youwei's identity that caused a misunderstanding, so he hurriedly explained that the attitude of Li Chenfeng and the three of them was very sincere, and the old monk gradually believed it.

Looking at the blood on the ground, Qiming was terrified.

"Master, your injuries ...... Are they here again? ”

The old monk nodded silently, "I came here in the early hours of yesterday morning...... ”

Li Chenfeng helped Qiming help the old monk back to the temple.

"Qiming, what do you mean by 'they'?"

"It's the demon spirits that originally inhabit this mountain, and they come to attack the temple every once in a while, and I used to defend against them with my master, but this time, ...... It's my bad, I shouldn't have gone to Shinjuku. ”

The old monk shook his head, "What's wrong with you, it's just that the teacher is too old and useless, one day you have to leave here, you can't stay in this broken temple for the rest of your life." ”

Qiming seemed to have something to say, but he couldn't say it.

After learning that Li Chenfeng was Chinese, the old monk also felt very kind to them, and his attitude became better.

Li Chenfeng told the old monk about what happened to them in Japan, the old monk is usually kind and charitable, although the incense in the temple is not vigorous, but over the years he has accumulated a lot of sesame oil money, he is willing to pay for them to buy a ticket back to China.

Li Chenfeng saw that the usual life of the master and apprentice was not very easy, and he was really embarrassed to accept the money.

Later, Zhou Ming proposed that during the time when the old monk was recuperating from his injuries, they would temporarily stay in the temple to help defend against the demons who attacked the temple, so that they could repay the old monk in this way, so that they could also accept the money with peace of mind.

In the middle of the night, Li Chenfeng got up to relieve himself and found Qiming sitting alone at the door of the temple in a daze.

"Why, I see you've been preoccupied since you came back."

Qiming sighed helplessly, staring at the six big stone pillars in front of the door and the spells on them, and stopped talking.

"It's because of your master, I've been an orphan since I was a child, so I can understand your feelings very well, he will leave you one day, and you will have to live on your own one day."

"People's birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm, and the master taught me these very early, so I understand."

"Then what are you worried about?"

Qiming stood up, walked to the front of a stone pillar, and pointed to the charm on it.

"Do you know what this is?"

Li Chenfeng looked at it carefully, "Although I can't understand it, since it is a charm, its function is to exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits." ”

"You are right, exorcism and evil spirits, these stone pillars were built by the master's master, and they have a history of more than two hundred years now. Their power is very strong, and ordinary demons and evil will stop at it, even Miss Lu, who has a thousand years of cultivation, if it weren't for the fact that the master cast a spell on her, she would definitely not be able to enter the temple. ”

"So these things are really powerful, after all, Lu Youwei's guy is very strong."

Qiming sighed, "But even so, there are many demon spirits who can break into the temple. ”

"You mean the guys who attack you regularly?"
