Chapter 220 I seem to be surrounded?
Speaking of Du Lanke, after tricking the man away, he felt that he had disrupted a big business of Deyun Temple and was secretly delighted.
Just as I was about to leave, I met Li Chu coming back from the other end of the street.
He couldn't help but feel a little lucky. If the man had walked a few steps slower, he might have bumped into the returning Taoist priest.
After tidying up his clothes, he went to meet Li Chu and asked, "I guess this is Taoist Priest Li from Deyun Temple?"
Actually, he had never seen Li Chu in person, but he knew from the descriptions of his disciples and junior brothers that his appearance was "on par" with his own.
So when he saw Li Chu coming towards him, he immediately identified his identity.
Li Chu saw a thin, tall, dark-skinned middle-aged Taoist priest with a smile on his face coming towards him. He was not sure where the other person came from, so he responded, "Who are you?"
"I am the abbot of Nancheng Temple, Dulanke."
"Oh, Senior Du."
Li Chu nodded slightly and called him senior.
"Well..." Du Lan Ke said with a smile, "We are all fellow Taoists, and we are so close to each other. It's really wrong for you to not inform us when your branch temple opens its door."
As Li Chu led him in, he replied calmly, "I have only been practicing Taoism for a short time, so I may have made some mistakes."
"It's alright." Taoist Priest Du waved his hand. "My disciples were ignorant and played some pranks on me before. I came to visit you today, firstly to greet my fellow disciples, and secondly to apologize for this."
Li Chu shook his head. "It's no problem. Besides, he has already sent the elixir to apologize. The elixir produced in your temple is quite useful."
This is the truth. Since the Juyin Pill was invented, the ghosts that come out of the well every day can be stronger and gain more experience points.
But Dulanke felt uncomfortable when he heard this.
How could it not be useful? They are all made of real gold and silver! He took a deep breath, looked around, and said, "Master Xiao Li's Taoist temple is quite large, but it lacks manpower."
I walked all the way from the gate to the front hall, and there was no one in the temple.
Usually when Li Chu goes out to do business and the Taoist temple is closed, the fox girl might go out to play. Ever since she got her identity, she began to enjoy shopping.
As for Wang Longqi, he was even more impatient and no one knew where he went to act wild.
Li Chu didn't care about it at all. He asked Du Lanke to sit on the cushion in front of the hall.
"It's quieter with fewer people. We are in Deyun Temple in Hangzhou Prefecture, and there are only two Taoist priests, my master and I."
"Two Taoists?" Du Lanke was surprised. "So you came here to open a branch temple, and only the master is left over there?"
"Yes." Li Chu nodded.
Dulanke was a little surprised. Wow, you want to open a branch temple just like this?
Is it really one person per city? Of course, Taoist believers are all over the world. Occasionally, there is an unorthodox Taoist temple with two unorthodox Taoists doing unorthodox things, and there is nothing to be surprised about.
After coming to his senses, Dulanke started talking about the purpose of his trip.
"Master Xiao Li, have you ever heard of the story of the Snow Girl?"
"Snow Girl?" Li Chu had actually heard of her.
The Snow Woman is a kind of spirit born in the ice and snow. Strictly speaking, she is a "monster" among demons and monsters.
She was born in human form, and most of them are women with icy skin and bones, gentle and beautiful. She often appears in the snow, looking for the man she likes, and lures him into the deep mountains for pleasure. After the pleasure, the man will be frozen to death.
After the snow girl becomes pregnant, she will soon give birth to a snow boy, who often plays with passers-by in the wind and snow.
Because of its classic image, it is widely circulated.
But I had been in the south before, so it felt very far away.
"To the north of Shenluo City there is a mountain called Fengshan. Every year after the snow falls, snow maidens are often born, endangering the nearby villagers."
"Recently, I have received some requests for help. However, the Snow Girls were born in ice and snow, so they are extremely difficult to deal with." Dulanke paused and continued, "Of course, with my cultivation level, I am not afraid of them. However... it will take a lot of effort to completely kill them."
"Recently, I heard that although Taoist Master Li is young, his cultivation is strong, so I want to invite you to go with us to eliminate the Snow Girl of Fengshan."
Hearing him say this, Li Chu readily agreed.
When a monster comes to your door, there is no reason not to fight it.
Although I have accumulated some things on hand, none of them are urgent. It is better to gain some experience first.
"Then I will follow you, Senior." Li Chu said, "But I know very little about the Snow Girl. When we get there, I will still need your guidance."
"Hehe, don't worry." Dulanke patted his chest, "I will take good care of you when we get there."
His heart was filled with joy at the success of his evil plan.
You know, there are special methods to deal with monsters like the Snow Girl.
If you don't know the right method, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky. If you know the trick, it will be much easier.
Therefore, Dulanke planned to take this opportunity to make things difficult for Li Chu and make him see the gap between him and himself.
If he gives up and leaves the south city, that would be even better. Otherwise, we must make sure that he dares not compete with Nancheng Temple again.
The fox girl and Wang Longqi had not returned yet, so Li Chu wrote a note and left it on the table, telling them where he was going, and then set off.
Fengshan is a towering mountain with a northern atmosphere. It is not like the rolling hills in the south of the Yangtze River, which are ups and downs but not high. This mountain stands abruptly on the vast plain, which is very imposing.
This mountain is like a solid high wall, blocking many cold winds from the north for Shenluo City. So when the mountain was first named, there was a suggestion to name it "Beibi Mountain", which means the wall of the north. Perhaps it didn't sound domineering enough, so it was later rejected.
Whenever it snows, the top of Fengshan Mountain becomes a land of ice and snow, and snow girls are often born there, and then go down the mountain to look for living people.
When they arrived at the foot of Fengshan Mountain, Du Lanke handed Li Chu a shell-shaped magical weapon that had been refined.
He showed the other piece in his hand and explained, "This is the Ten-Li Yin-Yang Shell, used for transmitting sound."
"There is a folk legend that says the Snow Girl is loyal to her husband. In fact, it is because the Snow Girl always acts alone and only attacks men who are alone. If we go up the mountain together, they will not appear, so you and I have to go up the mountain separately."
"If you encounter a snow woman, it would be great if you can deal with her. If you find that you are no match for her, use this shell to send a message to me. Once I hear you, I will come to your aid immediately."
Du Lanke's worry was real. He just wanted to give Li Chu a little setback, but he had no intention of killing anyone.
As long as he could get Li Chu to ask him for help, his goal would be achieved.
Li Chu took the shell and nodded in agreement.
So the two of them went up the mountain in two different ways.
In other seasons, Fengshan is still visited by some people, such as those who go up the mountain to hunt or chop wood.
But in winter, warning signs are put up everywhere to remind people that snow girls often appear in the mountains.
After all, this kind of monster is born and grows naturally, and it is impossible to exterminate it. Even if Chaotianque comes to exterminate it on a large scale, maybe a few more will appear once it snows.
Therefore, for many years, local people have known not to approach this place. However, those snow girls occasionally come down the mountain and may still endanger the people living at the foot of the mountain.
Dulanke strode forward, and after walking for a while, heavy snow suddenly began to fall from the sky.
He couldn't help but smile to himself, thinking that God was really helping him.
Snowy days are when the Snow Maidens like to appear the most. Judging from the amount of snow, I'm afraid all the Snow Maidens on the mountain will come out.
Taoist Priest Du simply stood where he was, waiting for a discerning and tasteful snow girl to come find him, and then be killed by him with one sword.
Then go and rescue the troubled little Taoist priest.
This trip to Fengshan was perfect.
Hehehehe.
After making up his mind and giving a few wicked grins, he waited silently, his spiritual sense constantly scanning the surroundings.
But there was no sign of the Snow Girl.
Wait and wait.
I waited until it was almost dark.
"Huh?" He frowned in surprise.
Snow girls do not distinguish between day and night. As long as it snows, they will come out to find the men they like and return to the mountains.
What...
Why hasn't she appeared for so long? Could it be that the Snow Girl in this mountain has been cleared out by someone else? With such a question in mind, he put the shell to his mouth and asked, "Master Xiao Li, have you met the Snow Girl over there?"
"Um……"
Li Chu's faint voice came from the other side.
The young Taoist priest in green in the snow looked around, looked at the vague shadows around him, and answered truthfully:
"I seem to be surrounded by snow women."
