Chapter 470: Rainy Night Butcher
"What's the point of you taking my Huo family's money and not doing anything?"
Coach Huo seemed to be still unsatisfied and slapped the monk captain again.
The monk captain was furious, but he didn't dare to vent it, so he tried to smile and said, "Master, don't be angry, I just want to ask for directions."
"I heard that Tiegu Mountain is not peaceful at night, why don't we go out first?"
Huo Shuai sneered and said, "You have already received the money, why do you want to regret it?"
"If you regret it, I will pay you tenfold!"
When everyone heard this, their faces turned pale with anger.
To earn this pittance of money, he still praises this second-generation rich man highly.
It's so infuriating.
They have no choice but to bow and scrape to the rich second generation because they are poor.
"Okay, let's go deeper then."
The monk captain gave Jiang Ci an apologetic look with a swollen face, and then planned to go deeper with Huo Shuai.
If they go in from this direction, they will encounter weasels sooner or later.
Meng Shian was a little worried and whispered, "Master Jiang, should we take action? Looking at the attitude of this playboy, I'm afraid he will hurt the old couple."
Jiang Ci glanced at Huo Shuai, only to see that Huo Shuai was staring at Murong Jinran gloomily.
"Why are you leaving? Let's catch this little girl first!" Huo Shuai was unwilling to be teased by Murong Jinran once. In his opinion, he had to take revenge to vent his anger.
Murong Jinran showed a stack of talismans from his pocket and grinned, "Why, do you all want to turn into puppets and roll down the mountain?"
The captain of the monks saw that the talismans in her hand were all very valuable, and he advised Huo Shuai with difficulty, "Master, although we are monks, we cannot beat the talisman master..."
"You didn't even fight, so how can you say you can't win?" Huo Shuai sneered, "I think you just saw that he was good-looking and couldn't bear to use heavy hands!"
Murong Jinran laughed when he heard this, and put away the stack of talismans seriously, "Ahem, since you are younger than me, I won't bother with you about what happened today, forget it."
Huo Shuai: “?”
"Who said forget it! You are not allowed to forget it!"
"I have never suffered such humiliation at home or outside. I must get it back!"
He snatched the long knife from someone else's hand and slashed at Murong Jinran without saying a word.
"If I cut off one of your arms, this matter will be over. Otherwise, my Huo family will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"
Murong Jinran dodged the long sword with ease and said with a smile: "Just a Huo family, tsk~"
"What are you yelling about!!!" Huo Shuai was so angry that he felt he had never felt so aggrieved before, and he swung his sword wildly.
Murong Jinran was agile and nimble, and while avoiding him he did not forget to provoke him.
Coach Huo became anxious.
The two of them staged a big drama of chasing each other in front of everyone.
Jiang Ci stared at the sky in the distance with a sharp gaze, frowning slightly, "It's a sign of impending storm. It's going to rain soon."
The monk captain saw the dark clouds in the distance and his face suddenly turned ugly: "The weather in the mountains is changeable. It will be terrible if it rains on a night like this."
"Master, Master, let's go quickly. Leave now before it gets dark!"
Huo Shuai was so focused on hunting down Murong Jinran that he didn't hear his shouting at all.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ci asked.
The monk captain said with a grim expression, "Legend has it that a Rainy Night Butcher appears on every rainy night in Tiegu Mountain. Any living creature that appears in the wild forest will be eaten by it."
"What bad luck! It's going to rain."
He complained, but he could do nothing about the willful coach Huo.
Jiang Ci didn't want to delay any longer. They were already far away from the old lady's house, and they were taking a detour. They would definitely not be able to catch up if they went back now.
"A few of you are from outside. Is there a place for you to stay along the way?" she asked.
The monk captain nodded: "Yes, yes, there is a dilapidated temple ten kilometers away where we can take shelter from the rain."
Jiang Ci was thoughtful, "It is said that I would rather live in a desolate tomb than in a dilapidated temple."
"That's right. The dilapidated temples have long lost the protection of the gods. There are many lonely ghosts living in them. It's best not to go to dilapidated temples." Murong Jinran said while dealing with Huo Shuai: "This is what my grandfather told me."
The monk captain laughed and said, "You are a talisman master, why are you afraid of ghosts?"
"Yes, we have a lot of people and strong yang energy, so we don't need to be afraid even if there are ghosts."
"Master Huo, stop the fighting. If we delay any longer, we'll all die when the Rainy Night Butcher comes out!"
Coach Huo didn't listen at all.
Murong Jinran took the opportunity to dodge and jumped behind him, stuck a puppet talisman on his back, and pushed him directly to the crowd.
"Carry it away."
The monk captain said to Huo Shuai apologetically, "I'm sorry, Master. For the sake of everyone's safety, let's take shelter from the rain first."
Huo Shuai couldn't move and could only speak with his mouth. He was so angry that he cursed loudly.
He cursed Murong Jinran and the captain of the monks' ancestors to their very last eighteen generations.
"You are so young and yet you are still naughty. You curse so obscenely. What did your parents teach you? You have no manners at all." Murong Jinran couldn't stand it anymore and ordered him to shut up.
Coach Huo really shut up.
The captain of the monks whispered, "The young master is the only child of the Huo family. He has been spoiled since he was a child. The Huo family master gives him whatever he wants. He almost plucked the stars from the sky and gave them to him."
"He is just too arrogant and has a hot temper, but he is not a bad person. If Song Yunyun had not tricked him into finding the monster within three days, he would not have been so anxious. Fellow Daoist, don't bother with him and don't take it to heart."
When Jiang Ci heard the name Song Yunyun, his eyebrows slightly raised, "Song Yunyun?"
"Well, fellow Daoist, do you know Song Yunyun?"
"It just sounds familiar." Jiang Ci didn't say that this name was the same as the name of Bo Hanzhou's cousin, and he didn't know whether they were the same person.
It would be interesting if it was the same person.
At that time, Song Yunyun was causing trouble for her, and Bo Hanzhou sent Song Yunyun away in anger.
If you end up in the state of sin after many twists and turns.
This is interesting.
Murong Jinran heard that the other party was reminding her not to provoke the Huo family. She smiled disapprovingly and said, "If he doesn't recruit me, I won't recruit him either."
"But you are all monks, why are you so humble?"
Meng Shian was also puzzled. "This dude is just an ordinary person, and you are cultivators. Cultivators have much more abilities than ordinary people. How can you be controlled by ordinary people? I don't understand."
The monk captain smiled helplessly: "We are just low-level monks. At most, we know some small magic to deal with monsters. In the Northern Province, we are nothing. There are many powerful people in the Northern Province. Here, power is the symbol of strength."
"Master Huo followed the overlord to conquer Beizhou and made great contributions. The Huo family is extremely powerful in Beizhou. We really can't afford to offend Master Huo."
