Chapter Ninety-Seven: Cave Town
Dong Town is located in the southeast of Xitian County, about 500 miles away from Lingshan, with a population of about 3,000 people.
Because it is backed by Dongtian Mountain, the cave town is also named after it.
Hu Lai rode a white horse all the way, and arrived at Dongzhen in just half a day.
"Amitabha, is this Dongzhen?" Hu Lai looked at Dongzhen and frowned slightly.
Before he entered the cave town, he found many officers and soldiers armed with knives, guns and sticks guarding the outside of the town, which seemed to be heavily guarded.
He was stopped by these soldiers in Dongzhen and had to dismount.
"A little monk can ride such a good horse, which temple are you a monk?" a soldier looked at Hu Lai, and asked with an unhappy face, probably this monk did not have a good impression.
"The little monk is from Lingshan Leiyin Temple. Hu Lai folded his hands.
"Lingshan Leiyin Temple, why haven't you heard of it? You're not lying. ”
The soldier looked unhappy, pointed to the white horse and asked, "How did you get this horse, how can you be a mere monk riding such a horse?"
When the white dragon horse heard this, it seemed to be a sycophant, and he was very useful, and immediately shook his head comfortably.
Hu Lai slapped this guy and was about to answer, when he saw a young Taoist priest in a Taoist robe walking out from behind the soldier's head, and the other party shouted coldly: "You are too rude to the master. ”
Little real people!
The soldiers and soldiers bowed their heads to the young Taoist priest.
Hu Lai simply folded his palms together to the young Taoist priest, which was regarded as a salute.
"This master is from Leiyin Temple, and he looks like he is the same age as the abbot of Leiyin Temple, Master Rulai?
"Amitabha, the little monk is the abbot of Leiyin Temple. Hu Lai did not shy away from answering directly.
"It's really Master Rulai, that poor way is too rude, and I ask Master Rulai to forgive me. The young Taoist priest looked shocked, bowed his head and saluted, as if he was saluting a senior.
All the soldiers around were dumbfounded, especially the soldier, but in an instant, his head was covered with cold sweat.
He never expected that Xiao Zhenren would give such a big gift to this young monk.
Who is this little monk?
Could it be that he is really a Buddhist monk?
No way!
He's too young, right?
"Where, where, the little real person is polite. "Hu Lai maintained the demeanor of a monk, which is called a light cloud.
He killed Qing Xuan, the deputy master of the Qingyu Sect, but there were many people from the Jianghu Sect present at the beginning, and his reputation must have spread among the various sects and high-level leaders.
"Where do you dare to call the poor road a real person, the poor road is pure and empty, and it comes from the earth city jade void. The young Taoist priest reported to himself.
"Fortunately. Hu Lai was indifferent, but his heart made waves.
Jade Void View is one of the three major sect forces in Tucheng, this Qingxu is called a little real person, I am afraid that his status in Jade Void View is not low, according to the mana fluctuations on the other party's body, it should be a Taoist priest of the foundation realm.
Qingxu made a gesture of please: "Master Rulai, please come with me, let Poor Dao entertain you well." ”
"Amitabha, that little monk is better than obeying his fate. Hu Lai followed the other party all the way, and the white dragon horse followed behind, leaving behind the stunned soldiers who defended the city, and the head of the soldier who wiped his sweat wildly.
Qingxu directly introduced Hu Lai to an inn in the town.
I saw that there were some swords-carrying swords sitting in this restaurant, including Taoist priests and monks, who seemed to be of some three religions and nine streams.
As soon as everyone saw Qingxu, they either got up or nodded, and saluted each other, calling Qingxu Taoist priest a little real person.
Qingxu Taoist priests returned the salute one by one, and then introduced: "Everyone, this is a senior monk from Leiyin Temple, Master Rulai!"
"Master Rulai?"
"Could it be the master who won the Dao with martial arts?"
"There will be no mistake, it is the master of Nyolai, I have seen it with my own eyes. ”
A group of people in the rivers and lakes stood up and saluted, and their eyes showed admiration.
The battle between the master of Leiyin Temple and the Qingyumen has now spread in the rivers and lakes, and everyone knows that the master of the Rulai is extraordinary, and he defeated the deputy head of the Qingyumen with martial arts to build the foundation, and he is definitely a monk with unparalleled combat power in Buddhism.
"Amitabha, I don't know why all the donors are gathered here?" Hu Lai asked aloud after greeting everyone loudly.
In front of them, these people in the rivers and lakes all have superb eyes, long breathing, and a few people have faint mana fluctuations, it can be seen that the big guy's coming from is extraordinary, this kind of scene of masters gathering is actually rare, there must be something.
Everyone did not answer directly, but looked at the little real person Qingxu.
"Since Master Rulai has this question, then Poor Dao will also say it directly, everyone gathered here because of the invitation of the county order of Tianyuan County. ”
Qingxu explained: "The county commander was traveling near Dong Town, but disappeared near Dong County, and there has been no news so far, so the county commander summoned us to find the county commander. ”
"If you just want to find someone, I'm afraid you won't need so many masters, compared to not finding the missing person. Hu Lai glanced at the people in the rivers and lakes.
"Yes, we're not just looking for people, we're dealing with youkai. ”
Qingxu said: "Some time ago, I received an anonymous letter from Qingxuguan, saying that it was the flood of monsters in Dongzhen, so everyone thought that the county commander was taken away by monsters. ”
"Then since you know that it is a monster, why does the big guy stay in the inn?" Hu Lai asked again.
He could see that so many masters stayed in the inn in broad daylight, with a sad face, and it didn't seem like they had found someone.
"Alas, it's hard to put into words. ”
Qingxu sighed: "To tell the truth, our group of people have been in Dongzhen for seven days, but they have not found any clues, and now they are even more helpless. ”
"Seven days are at a loss?" Hu Lai was surprised.
Qingxu and the others are not ordinary people, most of them are cultivators or martial artists, and there are many experienced rangers among them, if there are real monsters here, then they will definitely be able to find clues.
Now there are no clues, that's weird, aren't there any monsters here?
Just as Hu Lai was thinking, an announcement came from a distance.
"The Wang County Order of Tianyuan County has arrived!"
Then, with the sound of gongs and rolling, an official sedan chair stopped at the door of the inn, and in addition, there were more than a dozen soldiers wearing armor and riding fast horses.
The crowd immediately stood up to greet them.
I saw a white-faced middle-aged man in a blue official uniform come out of the sedan chair, followed by an ironclad sergeant in armor and several soldiers who were full of anger jumped out of the horse.
"See the order of the county king!" Qingxu took the lead in kneeling and saluting the county official, and the rest of the people followed suit.
Only Hu Lai folded his hands and bowed his head slightly, which was considered a salute.
"Monk, you are so bold, you don't kneel when you see the county order. The ironclad sergeant noticed that Hu Lai didn't kneel, and couldn't help but snort coldly.
The laws of the Tang Dynasty state that if ordinary people do not have merit on their bodies, they must kneel when they see officials of any level, and only the martial arts masters of the Imperial Qi Realm, or the Taoist masters of the Imperial God Realm can be exempted from kneeling.
If you don't kneel when you see the official, you will be whipped at the least, and you will be imprisoned at the worst.
"Amitabha, the little monk comes from the Buddha Gate, and he does not kneel to any official eunuch, only to the Buddha. ”
Hu Lai glanced at the other party very lightly: "Moreover, it has always been someone else who kneels to the little monk." ”
"What a big breath, believe it or not, the military master beheaded you on the spot. The sergeant's eyes widened, and with a thud he drew his saber from his waist.
Wang Xianling couldn't help frowning slightly, he never expected that someone would dare not kneel on his knees.
"You can try. Hu Lai pointed to his big bald head, and his tone was extremely light.
Qingxu's head was sweating when he heard this, he never expected that this master Rulai would have such a hot temper.
He couldn't help but step forward and said, "Lord County Order, this is the Rulai Master of Leiyin Temple." ”
"Master Rulai, Master Rulai of Leiyin Temple, the Buddhist monk who defeated the deputy master of Qingyumen with his own strength?"
Bang dang!
The long knife in the ironclad military hand fell directly to the ground, and the whole person was instantly dumbfounded.
