Chapter 261: Building the Blue Tile Mountain Temple
In the yamen, Lord Lu also heard the noise and sent his men to investigate.
He was panicking. He had finally gotten to know the so-called poisonous scorpion god, but now there was a new god. This...
Will the new god take office and start a new era?
Not long after, the men who were sent out hurried back and reported to Lord Lu in a panic: "Lord, it's bad! The Poison Scorpion Temple has really been destroyed. The powerful being they were talking about was indeed summoned by Meng Qi and her daughter... It is said that when He appears, all the monsters dare not make a sound. He is in human form!"
When Lord Lu heard this, his face turned pale instantly, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang", breaking into pieces.
"This...what should I do?" He paced back and forth in the lobby of the yamen, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
He knew very well that he had colluded with the Poison Scorpion Temple before and had done many shameful things. Now that the Poison Scorpion Temple had fallen and a new god had emerged, his situation was precarious.
"No, I have to think of a way."
Lord Lu gritted his teeth and thought to himself.
He first ordered people to destroy all the evidence such as letters and accounts between the government office and the Scorpion Temple, and then summoned several trusted advisers to discuss countermeasures.
A master said cautiously, "Sir, in my opinion, we must quickly show our good will to the New God. Given the current situation, the Scorpion Temple has already fallen. If we don't make our position clear in time, I'm afraid the New God will be the first to attack us."
Lord Lu frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "That being said, we don't even know what this new god likes, so how can we show our good will? If we end up doing something wrong, wouldn't that be courting death?"
At this time, another advisor offered a suggestion: "Sir, Meng Qi and her daughter have a close relationship with this new god. We might as well start with them. Send someone with generous gifts to visit Meng Mansion and test the waters to see if we can get in touch with the new god through them."
Lord Lu's eyes lit up, thinking this was a good idea, but he suddenly remembered that he was the one who sent people to invite Meng Qi and her daughter to the Poisonous Scorpion Temple, and he began to worry.
They won't hate him, will they?
If that were the case...
"Have you forgotten that we were the ones who sent people to invite Meng Qi and her daughter to the temple?"
For a moment, the study was quiet.
After a while, the master said, "It is better to resolve a feud than to create one. At that time, we didn't know that the temple would do such a thing. We were also deceived."
"Yes, we explained it to them clearly and told them that we were deceived and didn't know what kind of people the temple was. We in the Yamen are just ordinary people and there are some things we can't decide."
…
Another lawyer suggested that Lord Lu should go there in person to show his importance. Explain it clearly. After all, Mrs. Meng is a businessman, and she and her daughter still need to gain a foothold in Lanwa Town. I think it won't be too difficult for them.
Lord Lu hesitated and said, "Okay, then I'll prepare a morning gift and go there in person."
"My Lord, remember, you must be careful and cautious, and never annoy Madam Meng and the others again. Even if they say something unpleasant, you should be patient. We can take a step back and the world will be brighter."
…
So, Lord Lu went to Meng Mansion with apprehension, carrying generous gifts.
Along the way, he felt like there was a rabbit in his heart, and his heart was beating fast.
When he reached the door, Lord Lu took a deep breath and raised his hand to ring the door knocker.
The housekeeper of Meng Mansion quickly opened the door and welcomed him in.
Meng Qi and her daughter learned that Lord Lu was coming to visit and soon met him in the hall.
Lord Lu smiled widely and presented the gifts he brought one by one, speaking humbly: "Madam Mengqi, Miss Mengna, I came here to congratulate you two. Congratulations on getting rid of a great scourge for Lanwa Town."
Meng Qi smiled and invited him to take a seat, saying in a gentle voice: "Master Lu is too polite. This is also a blessing for the people of Lanwa Town, and even more so the blessing of the Mountain God."
Lord Lu nodded quickly, with a flattering look on his face: "That's right, I heard that the powerful being was the Mountain God. I was ignorant of the great man before and offended him. Now I just hope that you two can express my respect to the Mountain God on my behalf."
Mona looked at Lord Lu's nervous expression, feeling disdainful in her heart, and snorted coldly.
Lord Lu pretended not to see it and smiled ingratiatingly.
It’s normal for young girls to have a bad temper!
Who makes him so capable?
"Lord Lu, you are too polite!" Meng Qi had a friendly face and didn't look angry at all. She said, "How can you express respect on behalf of others? Lord Lu, please go to the mountain god in person and burn some incense for him when you have time."
"This mountain temple..." Lord Lu said, choosing his words carefully, "I have never heard of it before. I wonder where it is?"
Mona said very impolitely: "Where else can it be? The temple is so big, can't you see it?"
The daughter played the bad cop, and Meng Qi quickly played the good cop, pretending to smooth things over, saying, "My daughter means that since the giant hooked scorpion beast has been taken away by the mountain god, the temple is empty anyway, so why not convert it into a mountain god temple? This way, it will be more convenient for Lord Lu to burn incense, and he can get there in just a few steps."
When Lord Lu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.
He came back to his senses, and immediately smiled, nodding his head hurriedly, "Mrs. Meng Qi's idea is really great! The Poison Scorpion Temple is an ominous place, and now it can be converted into a mountain temple, which is a blessing for the people of Lanwa Town! I will definitely cooperate with you, but I don't know what you need me to do?"
Meng Qi smiled and said, "All you need is Lord Lu to nod his head and agree. After all, the Scorpion Temple must report to your government office when it transforms the Mountain Temple. Don't worry, after the Mountain Temple is built, it will naturally abide by the court's rules like the Scorpion Temple, and will never mess around."
Meng Na said coldly: "I won't be like some guys who secretly raise monsters under the temple and let one run away at any time."
Lord Lu looked embarrassed, as if someone was hinting at something.
After all, the Scorpion Temple was right under his nose. He could "hide" such a big thing as secretly raising monsters from him. Either he was really incompetent, or he was pretending to be stupid.
No matter which one it was, Lord Lu could not admit it. He immediately stated that after returning, he would mobilize the staff of the government office to assist in the preparation of the reconstruction.

The villages in Niba Eighteen also received the news that Lanwa Town was about to build a mountain temple, and they all prepared offerings to congratulate the mountain god for gaining another piece of land.
Yang Xiangwei's mouth corners curled up and she was in a very good mood.
Just as Yang Xiangwei was immersed in this joy, a whistling sound pierced the sky, and a majestic white tiger fell from the sky.
The white tiger's fur is snow-white without a trace of other colors, and the black spot with the word "king" on its forehead sparkles majestically in the sun.
It came in front of Yang Xiangwei, put its front paws on the ground, nodded slightly, and said: "Lord Mountain God, congratulations on expanding the territory of Lanwa Town and protecting more people. 】
After saying that, several little demons appeared behind him, carrying an exquisite box filled with ice marrow cultivated in extremely cold places. It is said that this ice marrow can help practitioners condense their souls and improve their cultivation.
Yang Xiangwei raised her eyebrows.
He said that recently the white tiger has been running outside or running to the back mountain, and he insisted on allocating an "extremely cold place" there. It turns out it was for this.
