Chapter 195 Faceless Monk, Shou Immortal Palace

"Ding ding ding~~"

Meng Yao opened his big eyes, stretched out his little hand, and saw five colors of light shining in front of him. Prayer coins were generated out of thin air, one after another. It took a while to stop, and his little hand was piled full.

Lu Chen took the prayer coins and counted them. There were twenty-nine coins, and said in surprise:

"Yao Yao, what's going on?"

"like."

Meng Yao tilted his little head, not knowing how to explain it. After thinking for a while, he pointed his little finger to the north and said vaguely: "It seems to be over there."

Lu Chen was deep in thought, and immediately drove the flying boat to the north. Lu Yaoyao, who was standing beside him, was also very eye-catching and did not dare to compete with Meng Yao for favor.

The purple jade flying boat went all the way north, flew over the Akutagawa River, and flew over [Jiuqiao Mountain]. It did not arrive above Yefang City until noon. Meng Yao pointed to the city and said in a crisp voice:

"Brother, this is it~"

"Um!"

Lu Chen nodded, leaned down and looked down, and saw that this once almost deserted city was now miraculously prosperous again. Not only was it crowded with people, but the entire city was almost brand new and seemed full of vitality.

Lu Chen turned his attention to the center of the city.

I saw a huge statue tens of meters tall. This statue was a woman, wearing a red wedding dress, with her hair tied up in a bun. She was holding a huge hooked sickle high, as if she could chop it down at any time.

There is a majesty in his kindness that makes people afraid to look directly at him.

Lu Chen looked strange, looking back and forth between the statue and Meng Yao. The more they looked, the more they looked alike, and asked:

"Yao Yao, is this you?"

"It seems so."

Meng Yao's little face is flushed, and his big eyes are blinking, which also looks a little strange.

"."

Lu Chen was a little speechless. He remembered that there were only a few thousand old and weak people left in Yefang City, but he saved him. In the center of the city was a statue of the red-browed old ghost. After he destroyed it, he erected a statue of Meng Yao at some point. stand up.

"Get down!"

Lu Chen didn't think any more, stretched out his hand to take the purple jade flying boat into his palm, and took Meng Yao and Lu Yaoyao down to blend in with the crowd. Soon, he had a general understanding of the situation in Yefang City.

Yefang City is backed by the Akutagawa River.

Not only did it prevent the zombies from going north, but because it was located in the south, it was not as chaotic as other areas in Beimang Prefecture, so it was able to stay in a corner. Therefore, it attracted a lot of people to come here, and it only thrived for more than ten years.

With the current situation.

The person in charge of Yefang City is a sect called [Goddess Sect], which worships Meng Yao, with the honorific title [Innocent Goddess]. The leader is an old woman named Loulan who is over eighty years old.

Refining Qi and cultivating oneself.

Known as Lan Po.

Nowadays, Yefang City is developing better and better, but it has also attracted two major crises. One is the [Faceless Monk] from Jiuqiao Mountain, and the other is the Lou family, a cultivating family that once moved north.

Faceless monks have existed in Yefang City for several years, but in recent years the number has increased and it has become difficult to contain them.

The Lou family wanted to take Ye Fang City into their hands.

Think carefully.

Several times of persecution.

The Goddess Sect gradually found it difficult to support, and either succumbed to the Faceless Monk or turned to the Lou family. However, the leader of the cult, Lan Po, was originally the abandoned daughter of the Lou family when they moved north. She was also stubborn. She did not want to get close to the Lou family anymore, and she did not want to be betrayed by the Nine. Qiao Shan was enslaved, so he was in a dilemma, and there were even rumors of moving to the city.

"Goddess Cult"

Lu Chen stood on the street, looking thoughtful.

Since the Goddess Cult could help Meng Yao gather prayer coins, he couldn't let Meng Yao be bullied. He suddenly thought of conquering the Goddess Cult. It was easy to do anything anyway, so he asked:

"Yao Yao, how about we take over this Ye Fang City?"

"Can?"

Meng Yao seemed to understand and raised his face.

"certainly!"

"The faceless monk is here~~"

“Go quickly, go quickly~~”

Just as Lu Chen nodded, there was a sudden noise on the street, and then people rushed to run. In the blink of an eye, the originally lively street became empty. Lu Chen turned his head and looked behind him, and saw a monk wearing monk's robes walking over.

This monk's dress is extremely strange.

The head was covered with white cloth, covering the mouth, nose, eyes and entire face. The whole head was like a ball, with faint blood soaked through the white cloth. The other person held an alms bowl in his left hand and a bamboo pole in his right hand.

Knock, knock, sweep, and move forward along the way.

【name】:***

[Information]: First-order Faceless Monk

"Da~~"

Lu Chen did not dodge, and the bamboo pole hit his feet. The faceless monk immediately stopped and raised his drooped head, as if he saw Lu Chen.

"Donor, give me some charity."

The voice sounded from the belly of the faceless monk, which seemed a bit dull. Lu Chen moved two steps to the left, and the faceless monk turned his head to look. Lu Chen frowned slightly, turned over his hand, took out a grain of spiritual sand, and threw it into the opponent's alms bowl. , making several soft sounds:

"Ding ding ding~~"

"Thank you!"

The faceless monk bowed slightly, turned around and left. The white cloth on his face seemed to have blood seeping out again.

"Alas~~"

An old man who was watching from a distance came over with a sigh and said with pity on his face:

"Young students, why don't you avoid it?"

"What's wrong?"

Lu Chen smiled and asked back. The old man sighed again, pointed at Lu Chen's feet, and said meaningfully: "Look, it's all stained with blood. He will come to find you again at night!"

"Tap~~"

Lu Chen took two steps back and saw two more bloody footprints under his feet. He didn't care and asked again:

"Then what?"

"After that, he will keep looking for trouble, keep asking you for charity, keep pestering you, and will not give you charity. It will not be until your family is ruined, your wife and children are separated, and you have no money left, and finally you are desperate, then he will take you away and free you. , He is unknown!!”

The old man sighed heavily, turned and left, his steps a little heavy.

Few people know.

His son left like this, and his life and death are still unknown and there has been no news from him.

"Unknown?"

Lu Chen looked at his feet and found that they were not stained with blood and were clean. He was surprised: "Is it a tracking spell? Even I didn't notice it."

He wanted to experience it, so he did not go to trouble the faceless monk.

"Master, where should we go next?"

Lu Yaoyao took a few steps closer, kissed her red lips, and glanced at a restaurant not far away. She wanted to taste it, but was too embarrassed to speak. Just as Lu Chen was about to speak, he saw a group of people coming from behind. Came over from a distance.

The steps are hurried.

His expression was solemn.

Most of them are strong men wearing yellow clothes and black scarves on their heads. They are surrounded by several women. Four of them are girls in white skirts. There are two in the front, one is a black girl holding a long piano. The masked woman, the other a white-haired old woman on crutches.

[Name]: Loulan

[Information]: Eighth level of Qi training, leader of the Goddess Sect

“Tap tap tap~~”

As soon as the white-haired old woman raised her hand, everyone stopped immediately. She stepped forward step by step, staring at Lu Chen's face, and said with emotion:

"After ten years of separation, I never thought I would see my benefactor again."

Seeing that Lu Chen didn't speak, the white-haired old woman said in shame:

"When my benefactor left, all that was left behind were half-dead poor people. Without the benefactor's permission, I used the reputation of the goddess as a source of faith. Only then did I gather people's hearts and ask my benefactor to punish me!"

"Get up!"

The old woman was about to bow down and bow down. Lu Chen reached out and touched her, used his magic power to lift her up, and said straight to the point:

"Since I have used my reputation as a Goddess, I should be respected by the Goddess Cult. Are you willing?"

"willing!"

"willing!"

The old woman was overjoyed. She had long known that her cultivation was no longer able to protect the current Ye Fang City. Now that her benefactor took over, it would be great. So she put down her crutches and bowed solemnly to Lu Shen:

"Lanpo bows down to worship the god! Bows down to the goddess!"

Lu Shenwei showed no pretense, and he and Meng Yao on his shoulder accepted each other's gift calmly. Everyone behind them looked at each other, a little at a loss. Fortunately, Lan Po had great authority in the Goddess Cult, so they all knelt down.

"Get up!"

Lu Chen helped Lan Po up. Lan Po's face was full of joy. She pulled the masked woman in black over and introduced: "My benefactor, she is an orphan adopted by me. She can also be regarded as my adopted daughter. Ji Minglou Xiaoqian is the incense master of the Goddess Sect. She has many health problems, and she is currently taking care of Yefang City."

"Xiaoqian has seen the God Lord!"

Lou Xiaoqian glanced at Lu Chen and quickly bowed and saluted.

【Name】: Lou Xiaoqian

[Information]: Sixth level of Qi training, gifted piano heart

"good!"

Lu Chen put his head on his forehead, stretched out his hand to help the person up, and said: "My name is Lu Chen. From now on, the Goddess Cult will be under the name of [Changchun Taoist Temple]. It can be regarded as a branch of the Changchun Taoist Temple. Meng Yao is respected as the main one. As for ordinary secular affairs, We are too lazy to pay attention to it. There is only one thing: the incense of the goddess statue cannot be cut off."

"yes!"

"yes!"

The two nodded respectfully, and Lan Po hesitated and said:

"I dare not hide my benefactor. There are currently two difficulties in Yefang City. They are both very difficult. I am afraid that the benefactor will need to come forward in person to solve them."

"rest assured!"

Lu Chen interrupted the other party and said proudly:

"Now that you have accepted the Goddess Cult, I will help you take care of the difficulties!"

"Real person."

Lan Po and Lou Xiaoqian looked at each other in shock, surprised and happy at the same time.

"Real person please!"

The crowd gathered around Lu Chen and Lu Yaoyao and walked toward the center of the city. They walked through the streets and suddenly stopped when they saw a temple not far ahead. The temple was quite impressive.

The white walls and red tiles are solemn and solemn, and the plaque is engraved with three large gilt characters:

Shouxian Palace!

There are four characters on each side of the glazed pillars:

May you be blessed and live long!

Like a crane or a pine!

Lu Chen's pupils shrank, he suppressed the turmoil in his heart, his expression remained unchanged, and he asked calmly:

"How can there be a longevity palace here?"

Lan Po was a little strange, but she didn’t ask any more questions and recalled:

"About seven years ago, at night, the entire Yefang City shook inexplicably. I sent people to check around, and finally found that the original Earth Temple was gone, and there was a Taoist temple like this inexplicably, and there was no one inside. Originally, I planned to demolish it, but found that the Taoist temple was extremely solid and very troublesome to dismantle. Since I didn’t find anything unusual, I simply left it here.”

"seven years ago"

Lu Chen thought thoughtfully, seven years ago it should have been the time when Fang Yuqi and the others split up Fengxian Town.

Because Lu Chen specifically reminded them of the specialness of Shouxian Palace, when they moved to the city, they deliberately kept it instead of moving into the secret realm. From this point of view, Shouxian Palace itself fell in Yefang City.

"Lord Changshou Taoist."

Lu Chen's eyes flickered and he asked again:

"Is there any incense inside the temple?"

"some."

Lan Po nodded and replied:

"The majesty of Shouxian Palace naturally attracts many people to worship. However, after all, the people of Yefang City believe in our Goddess Cult, so I deliberately suppress it. After coming and going, the incense is not as prosperous. Dare I ask? Is there anything wrong with my benefactor?"

"No, you did great!"

Lu Chen gave a rare compliment and ordered:

"In the future, I will continue to use your methods to suppress them, but I cannot stop them."

"I understand!"

Seeing Lan Po nodding, Lu Chen turned his eyes to Lou Xiaoqian again. Lou Xiaoqian reacted and quickly leaned forward and said:

"Xiaoqian understands!"

"good!"

Only then did Lu Chen feel satisfied. As the two of them continued to move forward, they soon came to a magnificent compound. This was the former city lord's palace, but now it has been transformed into the residence of the Goddess Cult. Turning around, you can see the towering Not only is the gatekeeper of the statue of the goddess in armor a woman in armor, but there are no men in the courtyard.

Lan Po said goodbye and left. Lou Xiaoqian led Lu Chen into an exquisite courtyard with maids lined up on both sides.

Lu Chen kept walking until he came to the study room in the small courtyard.

Lou Xiaoqian waved the maid to leave, laid out the paper herself, and started grinding it again. Finally, she handed the brush to Lu Chen and stood aside. Lu Chen wrote a letter quickly and signed it with three words:

Mr. Lu!

"alright!"

Lu Chen put down his pen and muttered:

"With this letter, no matter whether Mr. Lou believes it or not, he will not dare to act rashly again. Ye Fangcheng is in trouble!"

"The real person really has great powers!"

Lou Xiaoqian complimented, carefully picked up the letter, folded it carefully, put it into the envelope prepared in advance, sealed it, and called a maid, handed the letter over, whispered a few times, and waited for the maid to leave in a hurry. She seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and showed an expression of relief.

Lu Chen looked at the other person and reached out to take off the veil from his face.

"Brush~~"

Lou Xiaoqian blushed, but did not hesitate. She asked Lu Chen to look at her seriously. Lu Chen looked at her for a few times, then helped her put on the veil, nodded and said:

"not bad!"

"."

Lou Xiaoqian was in a daze. What she was most proud of in her life was her face, so she never showed it to others easily. She didn't want to be described as "not bad" in real people's words. She turned her head and looked at Lu Yao who was touching this and that. The demon was immediately relieved, even a girl next to the real person could be on par with her.

Her color was probably only worth the word "not bad", but she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

“So delicious~~”

Just after the evening, the sumptuous dishes were quickly eaten. Lu Yaoyao put down the bowls and chopsticks, let out a satisfied murmur, rubbed his slightly bulging belly without any image, lay down on the lounge chair, and squeezed together with Lu Chen .

"Dong dong dong~~"

"Real person~"

"come in!"

Lu Chen responded, closed his eyes, and continued to rock the recliner. Lou Xiaoqian walked in with Changqin in her arms and put on a light blue dress. She bowed and said:

"Xiaoqian plays a piano piece for the real person."

"good!"

Lu Chen didn't open his eyes, he gently moved his forehead, and after a while, there was a smooth and elegant piano sound. After the song, Lu Chen praised:

"Great piano, great music!"

Lou Xiaoqian's face was slightly happy, she leaned forward and said:

"Thank you for the compliment, Master!"

Lu Chen opened his eyes and asked:

"How old is Xiaoqian?"

"Di Xin was born in the twenty-first year and is nineteen years old this year!"

"Is there a match?"

Lu Chen squeezed Lu Yaoyao away and sat up. Once a woman married someone, his heart turned outward. Lou Xiaoqian would be in charge of Yefang City in the future, and her marriage was destined to be unable to be independent.

"No!"

Lou Xiaoqian shook her head, and Lu Chen asked:

"Why?"

Lou Xiaoqian's face was slightly bitter and she explained:

"First of all, I am the incense master of the Goddess Sect. Marriage is a very important matter and cannot be decided easily. Secondly, Xiaoqian is... a stone girl!"
