Chapter 94 A Happy Moment At this moment, every Li Zhou was very happy...
I didn't know the name of the restaurant, or whether it had a branch in Fengzhou. The useless mirror was thrown back into the simulator, and I and Miss Yu looked at each other in bewilderment.
Sometimes, I really hate myself for practicing too hard.
It would be great if I could return to being a mirror/ghost that knows nothing.
Why do we need to be born with intelligence and know so many things that we shouldn’t know?
Two completely different species expressed the same sentiment at this moment.
After taking the photos of her current appearance, swordsman Li Zhou felt very proud and decided to walk around Xili Mountain to let everyone see her new clothes.
Xili Mountain is located on the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It has always been a sparsely populated and dangerous mountain with countless demon caves.
In the past, these caves were filled with bones, blood flowed like rivers, skulls piled up like mountains, human flesh turned into mud, scalps were used as blankets, and human fat was used to add oil to lamps.
But after the order from the leader of Duotian, the demons began to pay attention to hygiene. They stopped throwing kitchen waste in front of and behind their houses and planted exotic flowers and plants, pine, cypress and bamboo. The materials of blankets and plaques were also changed, and human skin and bones were no longer used.
This is a good deal for the sheep demon, rabbit demon, and bamboo demon. Every year when the seasons change, the extra wool, rabbit hair, and fingernails and toenails can be sold and exchanged for good things.
The bear monsters and wolf monsters that were originally extremely vicious suddenly realized that they did not need the spiritual energy in human flesh at all.
When monsters become powerful, they are supposed to eat clouds and drink dew, and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. According to an old monster with a family tradition, five or six thousand years ago, eating humans, even eating other intelligent monsters was against the harmony of nature. Before Taoist monks or Taoist priests can capture you or thunderbolts can strike you, your own inner demons will backfire on you.
Nowadays, be it demons or humans, they seem to be getting worse and worse. Although they are cultivators, they are not afraid of being contaminated by cause and effect and having their spiritual heart damaged.
The new rules established by the leader of Duotian Sect have allowed Xili Mountain to restore some of its ancient customs.
When the old monster was sighing like this, the young monsters were also indignant. An eagle monster muttered that the leader of Duotian Sect himself eats monsters. Are monsters inferior to humans?
The old monster laughed loudly. If anyone was not convinced, they could go and eat the leader of Duotian Sect and let her see who was lower than who.
The eagle demon stopped talking.
The bamboo demon next to him said curiously, if you want to eat human flesh so much, why don’t you move away?
The eagle demon hesitated, and a raccoon demon next to him rolled his eyes. Compared with other big demons, the leader of Duotian Sect eating two unruly monsters is already a kind-hearted person, okay?
Which little monster would not be nervous when attending a banquet hosted by a big monster, fearing that he or she would become a dish on the table in the next moment?
When there is a wedding or funeral in the family of a great demon, everyone on the mountain will go to give gifts. The gifts are getting heavier every year. Some great demons will even select the worst ones. You are unwilling to show filial piety to the king, right? Then I will confiscate your house.
The leader of Duotian Sect established rules, which seemed to be restraining the monsters, but in fact, the monsters lived much more freely than before.
As long as the rules are not violated, no one will cause trouble for the monster.
The old monster nodded and said, "We cultivate spiritual wisdom, is it to serve as slaves for the big monster? We can't just see the short-term disadvantages and not see the long-term benefits."
All the monsters fell into deep thought.
The bamboo demon suddenly said, is the visit of the elder of Duotian Sect a long-term benefit?
All the monsters were stunned. The old monster opened his eyes wide and looked in the direction the bamboo monster was looking.
Oh my god, it’s the cold-faced king of hell who exudes murderous aura on the top of the mountain all day long!
The old monster who had just been educating the young monster was the first to run away. Seeing this, the other monsters also scattered.
The bamboo monster who first discovered the swordsman was a step slower because he was still observing her expression. He could only hide behind a big tree and pretend to be a blade of grass.
Swordsman Li Zhou saw a group of monsters gathering from afar, and he straightened his back even more, and his sword-holding posture became more casual.
Isn't this a scene that often appears on TV? Passersby A, B, and C suddenly see the protagonist appear on the stage, and a soft light focuses on the outstanding protagonist. Passersby A, B, and C look at the protagonist floating away with shock on their faces.
It would be great if a bad monster could suddenly appear and provoke her. Li Zhou looked around expectantly, ready to draw his sword at any time.
The next moment, all the monsters ran away.
Huh?
Li Zhou looked down at himself.
There is no zipper on the Taoist robe, so there is no embarrassing situation of not zipping up the robe properly.
After making sure that it was not her problem, Li Zhou looked at the direction the monsters fled. After a brief thought, she decided to go door to door and ask if her neighbors had encountered any troubles. As a swordsman with a cold exterior and a warm heart, she would definitely help if she could.
The bamboo demon silently looked at the direction where the swordsman left, and bravely followed him carefully. "Old demon, if today is your anniversary, I will definitely burn more paper money for you..."
“Knock, knock, knock.”
Swordsman Li Zhou stopped at the entrance of the old monster's cave and knocked politely three times.
A trembling "No one" came from inside, followed by an annoyed "No".
Li Zhou said, "Don't be afraid, old lady. I am Gongsun Ying of Duotian Sect. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me."
There was only the sound of rapid breathing from inside the door, and no one answered for a long time.
Li Zhou was very patient and stood quietly at the door. The shadow of his feet was long and slanted, half of which fell on the bamboo door.
After an unknown amount of time, the bamboo door finally opened a crack from the inside, revealing half of an old face. His eyes raised nervously and met the swordsman Li Zhou's lowered gaze.
The swordsman's eyes were dark, his face was as cold as jade, and his voice was chilly.
The old monster shuddered: "Gong, Gongsun Swordsman, should the little monster, should he be in trouble?"
Li Zhou was stunned by the question and then shook his head in his heart.
The old woman is so old that she can’t even clearly explain what difficulties she has. She must be bullied as she lives alone on a daily basis.
The swordsman Li Zhou stepped back a few steps, drew out Zhi Beiyou, and lightly scratched the stone tablet next to the cave, leaving a deep sword energy.
"I have left a mark here. If you encounter anything, I will know it." Li Zhou felt that he was really considerate. He nodded gently to the stunned old monster and said, "No need to see me off. Goodbye."
The old monster looked at the swordsman's receding back, his knees weakened, and he fell to the ground as if he had been hit hard.
The monster's life is in danger. This is a warning, it must be a warning. Don't try to be clever, Gongsun Jianxia knows everything.
Fortunately, it didn’t say a single “no” to Sect Master Duotian today, and it also persuaded those resentful young monsters... Oh no, did it say that if you are not convinced, go and eat Sect Master Duotian?
This is just a joke to the young monster. The swordsman will definitely not take it seriously. He must...
The old monster kept comforting himself and didn't dare to look at the worms on the stone tablet. He closed the door weakly. Suddenly he remembered that Gongsun Jianxia would show up because of the discussion about Duotian Sect Leader today.
Does the swordsman care about the reputation of the clan leader?
The relationship between the sisters is really good.
As the fear gradually dissipated, the old monster felt a little more envious and touched by the relationship between the two.
Similar scenes appeared in every cave in Xili Mountain.
By the evening, the news had spread not only in Xili Mountain but also in the surrounding villages and county towns. It was said that Swordsman Gongsun had inspected the entire afternoon and thoroughly investigated the rectification of monsters of all sizes. Anyone who dared to eat humans was killed on the spot by the swordsman.
Those who do not eat humans can be taken in by the swordsman under the protection of the Duotian Sect, and will no longer have to pay tribute to other big monsters.
Gongsun Jianxia has a sharp eye and can see through everything. No one can hide anything from her.
After making sure that every monster saw himself in his new clothes, the swordsman Li Zhou returned to the sect happily.
Just as he was about to go back to the top of the mountain to hang up, a boy in Taoist robes came quickly, holding an invitation in his hand. He bowed and said, "Swordsman, this is a letter from Princess Changning. It seems that she has assembled her troops and is preparing to go to the Dog Barbarians."
Li Zhou could not remember who the boy was, nor who Princess Changning was.
But when it comes to Inuyi, she thinks of Mahakala and the delicious roasted lamb leg. Once you have tasted it, you will never forget it.
Swordsman Li Zhou nodded calmly, took the invitation, opened it and glanced at it, skipping over the unimportant and difficult to understand words, and saw a key sentence.
"...At 9:00 p.m. tomorrow, please give all the soldiers a bowl of wine to send them off..."
Li Zhou is very interested in wine now. He has tried plum wine and wonders what flavor of wine Princess Changning will prepare for the soldiers.
She put away the invitation, nodded and said, "I will definitely go there on time tomorrow."
The boy responded and looked at the swordsman Li Zhou eagerly, still refusing to leave. Li Zhou was stunned: "What else?"
The boy's eyes were full of admiration: "I wonder when the master will come back? Cong'er misses her."
Only then did Li Zhou remember that she was Huang Qiufang's daughter Cong'er, whom he accepted as his disciple under the identity of Jingzhen.
I haven't taught her properly since I accepted her as my apprentice...
Li Zhou felt guilty for a moment, then thought with confidence that in his previous life, Jingzhen was the great mentor, so it was normal that he couldn't find him. Cong'er's practice should be taken care of by the minor mentor, that is, Hei Wuchang.
The clever Li Zhou quickly called Hei Wuchang and asked him carefully about Cong'er's cultivation progress.
Hei Wuchang was discussing with Mozhe Xing Can whether there was any way to design a set of equipment that could automatically retrieve wronged souls because the water in the Yellow Spring was getting yellower every year. Suddenly, he was called over by Gongsun Jianxia, and together with Cong'er, he was asked questions that made him sweat profusely.
During the day, I heard that the swordsman went to patrol the mountains, but who would have thought that the fire would burn me. Is the swordsman worried that the master will not return to the sect for a long time and people will be uneasy, so he came to warn him? What could have held the master back for so long? There was chaos in the death a few days ago, and the underworld was almost out of control. I heard that it was the master and a junior sister of the swordsman who took action... Could it be that another disaster of this level is about to happen?
Hei Wuchang thought a lot in an instant.
After finally answering the swordsman's questions, he followed her instructions and took Cong'er back to intensify his training. Hei Wuchang caught a glimpse of Cong'er's frustrated expression and comforted her, "Don't be upset. The swordsman is not targeting you."
Cong Er said, "I understand. Troubled times are coming. Master and Sister Ji Rui have gone to do great things. I have been practicing for so long, but I have just established my foundation. I can only barely kill a few mice. I am not up to the task... I am really useless."
Hei Wuchang looked at Cong'er's small body and recalled that the mouse she mentioned was actually a rat demon as big as a tiger. It was unknown where it had cultivated to the stage of foundation building. It was not well-informed and actually broke into Xili Mountain to eat people. As a result, it met Cong'er head-on, and she smashed its body into pieces with one punch.
Hei Wuchang, who arrived upon hearing the news, took the opportunity to save the souls of several rat demons to prevent them from turning into ghosts and causing trouble again.
There is no need to report the matter of a few mice to the swordsman.
Hei Wuchang patted Cong'er on the head and said, "Don't compare yourself with the swordsman and the clan leader. In fact, you are already very powerful."
Cong Er shook his head and made up his mind: "The swordsman is reminding me today that practitioners should be firm in their Taoism and should not feel depressed just because the master is not here."
Hei Wuchang was startled, then nodded after thinking for a moment and said to Cong'er, "So, Gongsun Jianxia wants you to understand the principle of 'not being happy with things, not being sad with yourself'."
"Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself..." Cong'er nodded seriously, "I understand."
Hei Wuchang smiled with relief.
Although he asked Cong'er about his cultivation progress, the swordsman Li Zhou, who actually understood nothing, casually walked around and came to the newly built kitchen. He saw Mohist Xing Can, Taoist Qi Ying, Huang Qiufang and others cooking dinner together.
Seeing her coming, everyone stood up and pondered the meaning of the swordsman's inspection of the kitchen.
In Fujiao City, Yue Niang applied ointment to the blisters on Baby Li Zhou's mouth, and Li Sheng brought a pot of chrysanthemum tea and a plate of fried bitter melon. Thinking that he was still suffering from internal heat, Baby Li Zhou hurriedly told Swordsman Li Zhou in his heart: "Remember to eat more vegetarian food."
Outside Fujiao City, in Ciyu Temple, the half-demon Li Zhou woke up from his nap and lazily leaned against the window of the Zen room, gazing at the gorgeous sunset in the distance and smelling the fragrance of vegetarian food filling the temple.
At this moment, every Li Zhou felt extremely comfortable.
She decided to name this moment "Li Zhou's happy moment."
Baby Li Zhou looked up and asked Yue Niang: "Mother, what time is it now?"
Yue Niang looked at the clepsydra and said, "It's You time now. Zhuo'er, are you hungry? It's time for dinner."
The baby Li Zhou took a bite of the bitter melon that Yue Niang picked for him and shuddered at the bitterness.
Swordsman Li Zhou fell into deep thought. What time are they? What time should he set out tomorrow to drink a farewell wine from Princess Changning?
Happiness is indeed a short-lived thing. "Li Zhou's happy moment" turned into a moment of distress in the blink of an eye.
