Chapter 239 Traditional Arts of Deyun Temple
"Youlan Pavilion..." Li Chu heard this and said, "I've been there."
Ye Leng'er blinked, a little surprised in her eyes, "Do you still need to go to that kind of place..."
"Ahem." Li Chu said, "What I mean is that I went there last time to investigate the descendants of the Yin family, but unfortunately I didn't find any trace of them."
"The Yin family was born in the gutter. It would be extremely difficult for you to find them, unless you can get them to come to you..." Ye Leng'er smiled cunningly: "I heard that Chaotianque has been suppressing them severely recently, and Youlanxuan should be an extremely important industry for the Yin family..."
Li Chu understood instantly and nodded, "Thank you."
"Nothing." Ye Leng'er said, "You help me and I help you."
As he was speaking, Dulanke came up to the front of the hall and said, "Master, the second prince of the Bulao City is here to see you."
"My second brother?"
Ye Leng'er was suspicious for a moment and looked at Li Chu.
Li Chu shook his head: "I don't know what he's doing here."
Ye Leng'er said, "Be careful. My second brother is very proud and petty. He may bear a grudge against you for losing the first place in the Buddhist Association this time."
She didn't know the specific situation of the Buddhist Association and thought that Li Chu had simply affected Ye Shuo's ranking.
Li Chu also nodded cautiously.
Ye Leng'er looked around, stood up and hid by the backyard door, "I'll wait and see here. If he's against you, I can help him."
"Okay." Li Chu nodded again.
He also knew that Ye Leng'er's thoughts might not be so simple. She might be more afraid of him turning against Ye Shuo than being afraid of a fight. But he was open and honest, so there was no need to be on guard.
He was also a little curious about why Ye Shuo came to him.
Soon, Ye Shuo walked in.
He was dressed in a golden gown like a nobleman from the Central Plains, and he looked very elegant. Moreover, he came alone, and he did not look like he was looking for trouble.
Li Chu was slightly relieved and was about to stand up to greet him when he heard Ye Shuo kneel down on the ground with a plop, "Buddha, please accept me as your disciple!"
Hmm? Li Chu in front of the hall and Ye Leng'er peeping from behind the hall both had question marks on their faces.
Li Chuxin thought that maybe this person had walked into the wrong set.
Then he helped Ye Shuo up and said, "Second Prince, did you make a mistake? This is a Taoist temple, and my main job is a Taoist priest... I participated in the Buddhist meeting just for the moment, and it doesn't mean that I am a Buddhist."
Ye Shuo looked up at Li Chu and said firmly: "I have seen your appearance in the picture of the Kingdom of Heaven, and I have also seen you activate the Dharma Bell at will in the Heart Demon Forest. If you are not a reincarnated Buddha, how can you have such power? Buddha, you come here to become a Taoist priest, could it be..."
At this point, he looked around, moved closer to Li Chu, and carefully lowered his voice and asked, "Undercover?"
What an undercover agent.
Li Chu covered his face with his hands.
Why are these Buddhists so obsessed with Infernal Affairs?
He had no choice but to explain as best he could: "There may be some coincidences in these things, and I am still exploring some of the causes and effects, but one thing is certain, I am definitely not the reincarnation of a Buddhist. If you want to practice Buddhism, you have really found the wrong person."
"Um……"
The second prince of the Bulao City showed some hesitation on his face, but he soon gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you are willing to accept me as your disciple, I can accept it even if I change my career to cultivating Taoism."
Ye Shuo had made up his mind to come here on this trip.
When it comes to learning from a master, he has an innate vision and talent.
The status of Aurora Bodhisattva in the Western Regions is extremely respected. He has never had many disciples, and they often have to start from the level of an immortal body. There has always been no shortage of powerful ones among his disciples.
Although Ye Shuo has a small noble status, he is not valued by Aurora Bodhisattva because of this.
The reason he was able to become a disciple was because he had been cleaning and serving in front of the Aurora Palace every day for three consecutive years since he was eleven years old. From being denied entry at first, to being received by the Aurora Bodhisattva, and finally being accepted as a disciple.
He summed up only three tips for becoming a disciple.
Bold, careful, and thick-skinned.
The benefits of having a master with great magical powers are innumerable. In comparison, the initial efforts are nothing.
The impression Li Chu left on him was too deep.
"Second Prince, there is no need to mention this matter anymore." But Li Chu still refused decisively.
"I will let you see my sincerity in becoming your disciple."
Ye Shuo left a word confidently, then turned and left.
As the saying goes, a brave teacher is afraid of being pestered, but one cannot just keep pestering others. One should advance when necessary and retreat when necessary to leave a good impression on others.
Dulanke sent him away again.
Standing in front of the gate of Deyun Temple, Taoist Priest Du said with great care:
"It's no big deal if you fail to become my disciple. After all... it's not that you are not good enough. It's just that the threshold for accepting disciples in our Deyun Temple is too high."
The second prince of the Eternal City, who had been very confident in facing Li Chu just now, suddenly faltered after hearing Dulanke's words.
He stared at Dulanke's back, looking him up and down, but for a long time he couldn't figure out where the threshold was...
No way.
Am I not old enough?
…
After the second prince left, Ye Leng'er also walked out with a look of surprise and doubt.
"I just asked you to hinder my second brother, but you conquered him directly." She exclaimed.
This result was beyond her expectation.
"Your choice of words sounds strange." Li Chu reminded.
To be honest, Ye Shuo's request was beyond Li Chu's expectations. It seemed that everyone he met recently wanted to be his disciple.
"In fact, it's good that you accepted him. This way, if I want him to stop opposing me, I can just come to you directly." Ye Leng'er smiled and shook her head, "I really didn't expect that my always proud second brother would actually do something like 'If you can't beat them, then join them' and give up his dignity."
“Ahem!”
Du Lanke, who had just walked to the door, blushed when he heard her words and coughed a few times.
I want to explain, this is the most difficult road!
He was also afraid that the little girl would laugh at him and take it for granted.
well.
There was only a long sigh.
…
After Ye Leng'er left, Li Chu originally wanted to go directly to Youlanxuan, but Du Lanke mentioned another thing.
There is a new plot about the children of Shopkeeper Liu.
After hearing this, Li Chu did not delay and followed him through the streets and alleys to Liu's house.
Compared to Manager Liu's immense wealth, his house was not too luxurious. It had two courtyards, front and back, and five or six servants. It could only be considered clean and tidy.
According to Taoist Priest Du, Shopkeeper Liu is a man who never forgets his roots.
He made his fortune in the south of the city, and has lived there ever since, his lifestyle never changing from frugal to extravagant.
Liu's wife was the first noble woman in his life. She married him when he was still penniless and brought a generous dowry, which was also the capital for Liu's later fortune. Therefore, over the years, no matter how many times Liu's wealth increased, he never found a second woman. He also came home on time every night and never went to places of entertainment for ordinary banquets, which made his wife feel very relieved.
In Shenluo City, if a man has money, it is easy to find a beautiful woman. People like Manager Liu are even more precious.
In the main hall of Liu's house, the shopkeeper Liu, with a haggard face, was accompanying his pregnant wife, looking worried.
Manager Liu had a strong face and a square appearance. Mrs. Liu had thin eyebrows and thin eyes and looked very haggard. She was pregnant at an advanced age, and coupled with the recent mental torture, she was visibly exhausted.
As soon as Li Chu walked in, Shopkeeper Liu immediately stood up to greet him. After a moment of surprise, he bowed and said, "Thank you for bothering Taoist Master Li."
Although Du Lanke had mentioned earlier that he had recently apprenticed to a very young master, Manager Liu was still very surprised when he saw Li Chu's appearance.
Li Chu simply returned the greeting without much politeness, but asked with concern: "Is Madam okay?"
"It's okay...it's just..." Shopkeeper Liu turned back to look at his wife and sighed, "I just don't dare to fall asleep."
turn out to be.
Mrs. Liu started having a strange dream since last night.
There was a fat baby with a red glow on its body, existing in the center of the dream. There was also a group of hideous and terrifying big insects, gathering from all directions, trying to bite the fat baby.
The baby starts to cry and wave his hands to hit the bugs, but some are killed and some stay close to the child's body.
Mrs. Liu was awakened by this.
She didn't know whether this dream was caused by her day and night thoughts or was some kind of omen or miracle, so she never dared to fall asleep until now.
Moreover, unlike ordinary dreams, this dream still lingered in her mind for a long time even after she woke up. It was extremely clear and did not fade away at all.
This is very abnormal.
Although Shopkeeper Liu had heard it several times, it was obvious that he loved his wife and was worried about his children. He held his wife's hand, frowned, and sighed:
"It was all caused by me back then. I was worried before... If my luck in recent years was really changed by evil methods, would there be any extra trouble if I reported it to Chaotianque? But today... Please tell me the truth, Taoist Xiao Li. If you can't solve this matter, I will ask Chaotianque to protect my wife no matter what. Even if I have to give up all my wealth, I can't let my wife and children suffer."
"Don't worry, Lao Liu." Du Lan Ke comforted him calmly, "Didn't I tell you? As long as you find my master, there will be no bad guys that we can't deal with, and no evil spirits that we can't exorcise."
Li Chu shook his head and said, "I really don't know how to deal with this matter."
If it were just a simple exorcism, that would be easy.
However, it was unclear whether what Mrs. Liu experienced was a dream, an illusion, or something else. Once she entered, there was no telling what the risks would be. Li Chu did not dare to let her try it.
For Li Chu now, anything that can be done with a sword is not a difficult task.
In other words.
It would be difficult if you don’t know who to kill.
"ah?"
Du Lanke was stunned. He didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face for praising Li Chu.
Then Li Chu said calmly, "Don't worry, Lao Du. Shopkeeper Liu, please prepare a quiet room and three long incense sticks. I will go and ask my master. My master has profound cultivation and extensive knowledge, so he should know how to deal with this situation."
Shopkeeper Liu looked at the two Taoists from Deyun Temple in front of him and said inwardly, "What a bunch of idiots."
Looking for a master from the ancestors? If Taoist priest Li's master can't do anything else, should he still seek spiritual help from above? Despite all the complaints, the servants of Liu's house still quickly prepared a quiet room for Li Chu and set up the incense table. Li Chu took out the jade stove he carried with him and inserted three long incense sticks.
A moment later, Yu Qian'an's immortal figure appeared with the old locust tree in the background that had not changed for thousands of years. His full demeanor as a master almost overflowed from the smoke.
"Disciple, what's wrong? Didn't you say that things are tense recently and you should contact me less if nothing is necessary?" The old Taoist priest's sly voice came over.
"There is something urgent, so I had no choice but to light the incense burner." Li Chu said.
Last time, I found the Big Sister of Hongmen through my master. Although it solved the problem temporarily, it was not without cost.
I heard that Xie Jinhua has already gone south with several hundred brothers.
If she was looking for an old love, why did she bring so many people with her?
This incident caused the old Taoist priest to fall into deep panic.
Now he always carries a small bag next to him when he sleeps, ready to run away at any time.
"Okay, then just make it short." Yu Qian'an said in a low voice, and quickly looked up and around.
Then Li Chu briefly described what happened to Manager Liu.
"Now his second child is about to be born. Although the Gu Master has not appeared, Madam Liu had this strange dream..."
"This..." Yu Qian'an pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that he has offended a soul poison master from Southern Xinjiang?"
"Soul Gu Master?"
The master did not disappoint him as always, and Li Chu's eyes lit up.
"Gu Masters are rare to begin with, and the Soul Gu lineage is even rarer. Because this lineage is too strange, it once caused a collective encirclement and suppression by many other Gu Master lineages in southern Xinjiang. It was once rumored that this lineage had been cut off."
"But... people later discovered that there should still be a Soul Gu Master who survived and cultivated to a very high level. He returned to Southern Xinjiang a few years ago and killed one by one the enemies who had once surrounded and suppressed the Soul Gu Master lineage. Because his methods were too strange, no one had ever seen what this Soul Gu Master looked like until he finished his revenge."
"The ordinary Gu Masters raise Gu by catching poisonous insects and fighting them. Through such cruel means, the strongest ones are selected as Gu. Therefore, most of the Gu Masters known to the outside world are those who play with insects."
"And the Soul Gu Master... uses living souls to raise the Gu!"
Li Chu frowned.
This kind of thing sounds a bit evil.
"Theoretically, there is no limit to this method. It is said that in the ancient times, there were even soul Gu masters who refined the 'immortal Gu', which was to refine the souls of the immortals on land into soul Gu in the palm of their hands, and they dominated the land of Southern Xinjiang for a time."
Refining immortals into Gu? Li Chu was slightly surprised.
That sounds like a big deal.
"But..." Yu Qian'an frowned and thought for a while, muttering: "Now the soul poison master you are dealing with has not yet appeared, and we don't know how powerful he is. And if Madam Liu is not dreaming, then she is most likely being entangled by the souls of some poisonous insects he sent out, and it is difficult for others to help. Unless there is a way to make Madam Liu's soul stronger overnight, or..."
As he spoke, a light flashed in his eyes, as if he had thought of a solution.
Li Chu waited quietly for his master's next words.
Yu Qian'an smiled confidently again and asked, "Disciple, have you ever heard of..."
"The soul is out of the body?"
