Chapter 329 Inquiry



"It's me, my Lord!"

Standing by the window outside is Bai Wuchang, and behind him is the Yellow Lion Monster.

"My Lord, I want to go to the city first to find his body. I'm afraid that if someone destroys the body, he won't be able to come back to life. And it's better for me to go first, and then we can agree on a place to meet..."

For Bai Wuchang and his men, the journey of dozens of miles could actually be reached very quickly.

The same goes for Zhang Fan, but this time, in addition to resurrecting the yellow lion monster, Zhang Fan also wants to see what happens to the monks in Yuhuazhou. After all, the Buddha sent disciples to the east to preach, which is not what he imagined.

In the Journey to the West and the Journey to the East, the people are still the same, but the meaning has changed completely.

Moreover, the Heavenly Court did not sit idly by and was even ready to take action. Zhang Fan planned to observe the situation first and then consider what role the Heaven and Earth Pawnshop should play in it?

"Well, you guys go get the information first, I'll be here soon, and I'll contact you if I need anything..."

This Bai Wuchang is very attentive and useful in his work.

After getting Zhang Fan's approval and bowing to him, Bai Wuchang disappeared, and the Yellow Lion Monster also left with him.

For the two of them, it didn't take much time to walk the forty miles into the city, and they arrived outside the gate of Fengxian County.

The city gate, which was twenty or thirty meters high, had bright lanterns hanging on it and was closed. It was curfew time and no one was allowed to enter or leave the city gate. This was one of the reasons why Zhang Fan stayed on the road for one night.

Bai Wuchang circled the city wall half a circle and soon found a place with lax security. He did not stay for long and brought the yellow lion monster to the city gate like a paper man.

Then it quickly disappeared.

After entering the city gate, you will enter the city.

The inside and outside of Fengxian County are completely different. The interior of the city is paved with bluestone slabs, and lanterns are hung on the wine shops and teahouses on both sides, which can illuminate the ground clearly, but the doors of these shops are all closed.

There was no one walking around on the street. Occasionally, one could hear one or two night watchmen shouting, "It's dry, be careful with fire!" and similar words. From time to time, a small group of night patrolmen would walk on the street with swords, sticks and clubs.

It looks very well organized and cleaner than the outer city.

Bai Wuchang looked around in bewilderment. He had originally planned to kidnap a night watchman and ask him where the Yellow Lion Monster's body was hidden.

Unfortunately, they were completely unfamiliar with this city. Just based on these streets, even if the night watchmen told them where the lion demon's body was, they would definitely be able to find it.

What's more, any night watchman might not know where the body of the yellow lion monster is.

It would be better for him to rely on his fast speed and take the yellow lion monster around the city a few more times. Maybe the yellow lion monster could find its body by itself.

"Let's go. You lead the way and feel where your body is."

The yellow lion monsters are all demons that have been practicing for thousands of years. Even after death, the underworld is worried about how to collect their souls, so they specially let the soul-collector carry a soul-collecting mirror.

That means his strength is not low.

At this time, Bai Wuchang asked him to lead the way, wanting him to find his own body by himself.

The Yellow Lion Monster was in front and the White Impermanence was behind. As they walked along, they saw a large courtyard with a wide gate open. The lights were on inside and there was the smell of burning sandalwood all around.

Looking at this house, not only is it located in the center of the city, but the key is that it also covers a large area, with pavilions, towers, high gates and a large courtyard. It is obvious at first glance that it belongs to a distinguished family.

And this door is open and is not affected by the curfew at all.

People were coming in and out without being stopped, and all of them were bald monks. Is this a temple?

Bai Wuchang felt a little puzzled.

"Come with me and take a look..."

Even the city gate couldn't stop Bai Wuchang, let alone a family like this. So as he spoke, he took the Yellow Lion Monster into the house, only to see even more monks inside.

These monks were all dressed in white robes, with new scars on their bald heads, and they looked like they were newly ordained monks. This reminded Bai Wuchang of the conversation he had with the family he met tonight.

His child became a monk in the city, and sat under the divine monk to listen to his teachings.

It seems that what that family said was true. The treatment of the monks was really good. They didn't look like they were practicing asceticism. Moreover, even the taxes for each family member were exempted. This was a symbol of the highest status.

"snort……"

The Yellow Lion Monster was very unhappy in his heart. His death was caused by those monks, and yet they were still showing mercy. In his opinion, those people were worse than himself.

At least he wouldn't take people's lives at will.

"There's some movement over there, let's go check it out..."

Bai Wuchang gestured to the Yellow Lion Monster to look in a certain direction. Over there, there was an old man hurriedly leading a few people who looked like servants, carrying a few boxes in their hands, and walking hurriedly towards a courtyard.

The two followed closely, and then saw the old man respectfully walk into the yard and salute a monk-like figure in the house.

"Hello, Master. I am just giving you a small token of my respect. I will accept it with a smile..."

While the old man was speaking, he had the boxes opened. As expected, after the boxes were opened, they were filled with yellow and white objects that dazzled people's eyes and even made Bai Wuchang outside the window lose consciousness for a moment.

This is quite a lot of money. This old man must be from some important background, otherwise how could he take out so much gold and silver at once?

"Greetings, sir. What do you want?"

The monk looked to be in his thirties. Although he was dressed like a monk, the incense scar on his head had been there for a long time. Also, look at the exquisite and luxurious monk's robes he was wearing, and the treatment of living in a private courtyard.

This middle-aged monk should have a high status.

"I have no wishes in my life, I only hope to extend my mother's life by ten years to repay her for carrying me for ten months. Now my mother is already sick and blind, I am afraid she will only live for a day or two. I, I want to ask the holy monk to save my mother..."

As the old man said this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

Although there are a lot of yellow and white things, it is all worth it as I can save my mother's life and let her live ten more years.

"This, the divine monk's Buddhist teachings are boundless, but they also emphasize cause and effect. Since you are so sensible, I will inform you on your behalf. Whether you can get what you want depends on fate..."

The monk's words made the old man express his gratitude continuously. He then knelt down and kowtowed to him before leaving with many thanks.

After the old man left, the monk walked down slowly, looked at the yellow and white things, and couldn't help but pick them up and play with them with his hands. Then he stood up and brushed off the non-existent dust on his body.

"Divine monk, have they gone to bed yet?"

"The light in the monk's room is still on. They probably haven't rested yet!"
