Chapter 208: Kneeling down to become a disciple, exchange conditions
The insects and beasts still wriggling on Mo Ran's corpse stared at Xiao Qingxu and Yuan Ji with eager eyes.
When the atmosphere was solemn, Yuan Ji was about to speak when he heard a burst of hearty laughter.
"Hahahahahahahaha...you youngsters, you're not even as brave as a girl!"
Xiao Qingxu and Yuan Ji didn't react for a moment and looked up blankly.
Seeing that he didn't look angry, Yuan Ji asked tentatively, "Young lady... Master, may I ask which young lady you are referring to?"
Anyway, it definitely won’t be Mo Ran.
Master Shanhe looked at him with a smile, "Want to know?"
Yuan Ji: “…”
Xiao Qingxu silently pulled him aside and said respectfully to Master Shanhe, "Master, you are joking. We, the younger generation, don't want to know."
Master Shanhe was still laughing, "You really don't want to know?"
Xiao Qingxu smiled back and said nothing.
Master Shanhe did not insist upon seeing this. He looked at Xiao Qingxu and said, "The area outside is surrounded."
Those Gu had sneaked into the vegetarian restaurant, and everyone in the temple except them had been infected. They were all heading for Bailipu, who was still on the roof. Unless Xiao Tong changed his orders, those Gu people would not leave easily.
Xiao Qingxu nodded, "Censor Baili is still in the temple, they won't run around."
As long as Bailipu is still here and Xiao Tong does not change his orders, those monks and pilgrims will not run away to cause trouble.
Master Shanhe was about to speak when he saw a blue butterfly fly in from the window. He raised his hand and the butterfly gently landed on his fingertips.
Master Shanhe's brows softened a little, but the moment he looked at Xiao Qingxu and Yuan Ji, his eyes became as kind as they were during the day - but now there was a bloody skeleton on the ground, and all kinds of strange insects and beasts were moving on the skeleton. No matter how kind he appeared, he looked very scary at this moment.
"Your friends are here."
Xiao Qingxu and Yuan Ji were both stunned. Before they could react, they saw a dark shadow rushing in from the window.
Ji Suxian broke in through the window, holding a knife and hairpin in one hand and a long whip in the other. She was closely followed by several guests, all of whom followed her movements and stood in front of Xiao Qingxu and Yuan Ji.
"Brother Xiao, are you okay?"
Ji Suxian stared at Master Shanhe warily, feeling that this man was extremely strange and terrifying.
When did Kyoto hide such a powerful figure? Not only did Xiao Tong order Mo Ran to come personally, but he also managed to...eat Mo Ran?
Ji Suxian noticed the bloody skeleton and those strange and ugly insects and beasts on the ground, and his eyes froze for a moment.
You can tell at a glance that the clothes were worn by Mo Ran... Was it those bugs that ate Mo Ran?
One of the insect beasts felt Ji Suxian's gaze, and proudly tore off a small piece of meat from the skeleton and ate it into its stomach, then raised its pincers at her.
Ji Suxian was stunned.
Can you really eat it?!
Master Shanhe looked at Ji Suxian with a smile, "Why, young lady, do you want to fight insects with me?"
Xiao Qingxu: “!”
Xiao Qingxu immediately reached out to pull Ji Suxian behind him, but before his hand touched her, the child dropped the weapon in her hand.
Ji Suxian knelt down neatly, "Master!"
Xiao Qingxu: "......"
Yuan Ji: “…” This girl knelt down quite readily.
Guest: “…” Do they want to kneel down too?
Master Shanhe entered Jinfu Temple when he was young and had never been forced to kneel before. But when Ji Suxian knelt down on him, he was stunned.
"You are..."
Ji Suxian's eyes sparkled, and if she hadn't cared about her image, she would have drooled. "Master! I want you to be my master, will you teach me? I have a great talent for medicine, I'm definitely not stupid!"
Yuan Ji: “…?”
No, is that right?
He turned his head to look at Xiao Qingxu, who glanced at him and shrugged.
I have been coveting Langjiang's insect-controlling skills for many years, but most of the insects that Langjiang can control and raise now are those that cannot attack humans, such as golden silkworms.
After the empress ascended the throne, the true masters of raising dangerous insects retreated into seclusion in the mountains, making them completely untraceable to ordinary people. Because the insect-controlling techniques of decades ago were often bloody and brutal, posing a significant threat to people's livelihoods, the empress, in order to ensure the stability of Langjiang, deliberately made the practice of raising dangerous insects and poisonous worms disappear from public view as much as possible.
However, the only alien race that was wiped out by the empress was the one that possessed the secret method of the poisonous beast.
Master Shanhe was speechless for a moment: "..."
Shouldn't the girl take another look at the pile of stuff on the ground? It made him lose all his deterrent power.
Xiao Qingxu coughed lightly, "Little sister, don't be rude."
Yuan Ji silently helped Ji Suxian up and winked at her.
Master Shanhe doesn't seem to be hostile to them now, but this man has the ability to control insects. Even people who are poisoned by poison outside dare not come in. He has been hiding in Jinfu Temple for many years. Presumably, he has more than just the ability to drive insects and beasts to eat human flesh and blood. They'd better be careful.
Ji Suxian understood his expression, pursed her lips, and fell silent.
Master Shanhe glanced at Ji Suxian for a few seconds, then turned his gaze to Xiao Qingxu, "Want to save them?"
Xiao Qingxu's spirits perked up slightly. "Yes. They are all innocent people who were implicated by us. We must find a way to save them."
Master Shanhe hummed, "I do have a method to remove the poison from their bodies."
Those sub-parasites had not been in his body for long, so he still had the means to force them out.
Xiao Qingxu and Yuan Ji were very understanding and said in unison: "Master, please tell me what you want."
Ji Suxian: “?” When did these two become so in sync?
Master Shanhe raised his hand with a smile and extended two fingers. "First, I want you to take an object to Wandu Mountain to find someone and give it to her."
Xiao Qingxu said: "This Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain is..."
"Second." Master Shanhe didn't wait for him to finish, and continued to talk about his exchange conditions, his eyes fell on Ji Suxian.
"This little girl, I want her."
Ji Suxian: “?”
She pointed at herself: "Me?"
Xiao Qingxu was startled and quickly stepped forward to stand in front of Ji Suxian.
"Master, is there anything you need? I can go. I'm spoiled and I'm afraid I might offend you!"
"You?" Master Shanhe's smile instantly collapsed.
"Can you heal?"
“…I understand a little bit.”
"Is it poisonous?"
"......Won't."
Master Shanhe curled his lips, his eyes filled with disdain. "That's it, then. You don't know how to treat poisons or cure them, and you still expect me to teach you from scratch?"
When Ji Suxian heard this, she laughed out loud and pushed Xiao Qingxu away.
"Go learn to control insects? I'll go!"
Xiao Qingxu, who was pushed to Yuan Ji's side: "..." Don't you really consider Yao Lao's feelings?
Yuan Ji's face darkened as he reached out to steady him.
Is now the time to play around?!
Yuan Ji suddenly had an idea and looked at Master Shanhe, "Master, you also ate vegetarian food today, why didn't you get poisoned?"
Master Shanhe looked at him, "What else?"
"Censor Baili is not as strong as this poor monk. His old bones can't stand the messing around of you young people."
Bailipu was a good official. Although he had no intention of interfering in today's chaos, since this person was in Jinfu Temple, he could not completely ignore him.
Yuan Ji showed gratitude on his face and bowed to Master Shanhe to express his gratitude.
He originally thought that some special poison had been planted in Bailipu's body, but now with Master Shanhe's words, he finally felt relieved.
Master Shanhe was in a good mood as he had accepted his only disciple today. Just as he was about to raise the hand holding the Buddhist beads, he caught a glimpse of another person rushing in through the broken window.
"Bang!" The window that was originally broken by Ji Suxian was even more broken.
Master Shanhe: “…” Forget it, they are all my little disciple’s friends, so I won’t ask them for money for repairs.
"Owner of this post!!" The guest who rushed in was covered in blood. Even though his face was covered by a black scarf, the deep fear was clearly visible in his bloodshot eyes.
Xiao Qingxu's heart suddenly sank.
"Master Shang was bitten by Her Royal Highness the Princess!!!"
