Chapter 31 I'm Actually More Scared Than You
After rescuing Shen Ziqing from the internal friction of cultivation, Li Yanmo felt the reality and sense of accomplishment of being a master for the first time. Then Li Yanmo thought about it carefully. His eldest disciple Jian Xin never seemed to look at him with admiration. Instead, he showed a subtle look when he demonstrated the magical and creative skill of the Heat Light Eyes.
Come to think of it…it must be because his master didn’t say something like an expert.
The more Li Yanmo thought about it, the more he believed this to be the case, so he immediately set off to rush back to Luoyang Town.
It was still afternoon when I got home, and Jian Xin was playing with a black stick that he had found from somewhere.
As soon as Li Yanmo opened the door of the courtyard, Jian Xin's crimson eyes turned towards Li Yanmo, "Master, welcome back."
"Hey - Boss, have you been troubled by anything recently?"
Li Yanmo coughed, put his hands on his hips, and tried hard to make himself look mysterious.
It was with this look that he shocked Shen Ziqing into opening his eyes, and Jian Xin was just a thirteen-year-old girl.
"No."
"...No, no?" Li Yanmo's chest collapsed.
"Master, I heard what you said. I am really troubled by some things recently."
Jian Xin's scarlet eyes moved upwards, and he nodded to Li Yanmo as if he remembered something.
"Recently, people in Luoyang Town have been saying that you, Master, are thrown into jail every now and then for visiting brothels and casinos. Going to jail is as familiar as going home."
"... Ahem - Boss, there are many secrets in this matter that cannot be told," Li Yanmo coughed awkwardly and avoided Jian Xin's calm but somehow oppressive eyes.
Jian Xin exhaled lightly and turned his face away. "I believe that Master is not the dirty person they say he is, but Master, the righteousness of heaven and earth judges actions, not the heart. You are stained with a lot of filth, which can easily cause misunderstandings from others."
"Really?" Li Yanmo picked up the collar and sniffed, but didn't smell anything strange.
Leng Ningshuang also mentioned this matter.
Leng Ningshuang is a constable and belongs to the military sect. He has the righteousness of heaven and earth and the power of national destiny protecting him. He does not have to worry about being contaminated by the filth brought about by the three thoughts of greed, anger and ignorance. He was not blessed with the power of national destiny. Even if his original intention was to crack down on the conspiracy of the Demon Immortal Cult, the righteousness of heaven and earth was corrected by Emperor Yu and it became only about actions, regardless of what was in his heart.
Therefore, the tiger demon can get the blessing of the righteousness of heaven and earth by capturing people, preaching scriptures, chanting Buddha's name and converting mortals. Li Qiu and others can also get the blessing of the righteousness of heaven and earth by reporting the casino.
"It's alright. Once the matter of Risheng City is resolved, the filthy aura of the Master will dissipate."
Seeing Li Yanmo's heartless look, Jian Xin was a little annoyed, but when he thought that Li Yanmo's behavior was just to crack the conspiracy of the Demon Fairy Sect, he became helpless again.
After staying in the wooden house for half a day, late at night, after confirming that Jian Xin was asleep, Li Yanmo carefully closed the door and quietly left the wooden house.
The road back to Risheng City was quiet, with only the sound of insects as an accompaniment. It was a cloudy day today, so the road was particularly dark.
The inexplicable chill made Li Yanmo speed up his pace, but he did not notice that the swaying shadow was shaking like a flame, and the huge centipede rose silently from the shadow.
【Three thoughts of filthiness...】
The centipede opened its ferocious mouthparts and rolled its terrifying body towards Li Yanmo.
At this moment, a ray of bright moonlight fell, and the centipede was stunned.
It’s clearly cloudy today, where does the moonlight come from?
The centipede subconsciously raised his head, and a ray of sword light was reflected in his eyes.
Li Yanmo sneezed and looked back, but there was no one behind him. It was quiet and peaceful, as if everything was going well.
"An illusion?"
Li Yanmo muttered something and quickened his pace.
Passing by the Taoist temple, Li Yanmo had no intention of stopping, but he heard a call as he passed by.
"Donor, could you please chat with me?"
Li Yanmo did not answer, but silently quickened his pace.
Not long after, Li Yanmo heard a sound of breaking air behind him.
"Donor! Donor!"
Li Yanmo changed from walking to running, and even used the spray skill to move forward, but a shadow still caught up with him. As soon as he got close to Li Yanmo, he was blinded by the other party's bald head.
He was a young man wrapped in a cassock, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his left hand and a bowl in his right hand, and he followed Li Yanmo with great ease.
This level is at least a foundation-building stage.
"Donor, Donor, I see you are walking very fast, you don't look like you are in the Qi training stage at all!"
Li Yanmo was afraid that the monk would suddenly say "I can tell at first glance that I am not a human being" and then attack him with a set of Great Power Heavenly Dragon, so he immediately emphasized it.
"I'm not a monster, I'm a human! Why are you chasing me?!"
"Hey - benefactor, you misunderstood. I just want to ask you a few questions," the young monk laughed and put the bowl into his sleeve.
"You're leaving after asking?"
"Monks do not tell lies."
"Donor, what benefit did the Demon Immortal Cult promise you?"
The monk still smiled, but the light in his eyes made Li Yanmo feel uneasy. If he was not careful, the other party might really use his mighty Heavenly Dragon to hit him.
Li Yanmo remembered Jian Xin's warning that he was stained with filth and might easily cause misunderstandings from others.
"That's a long story."
"It's okay, we can talk while we eat," the monk smiled and took out a rice ball from his sleeve.
Seeing that he couldn't shake off the monk, Li Yanmo slowed down his pace. He took the rice ball but didn't eat it right away. Instead, he kept a distance from him cautiously. "On the way to Risheng City, I met a tiger demon who could chant Buddhist scriptures. He captured a human and wanted to use Buddhism to refine the human into a ghost. He also has a master who is a tiger arhat."
The monk was stunned and touched his head awkwardly, "Oh - benefactor, you don't think I was sent by the Demon Immortal Cult to test you, do you?"
"We have to be careful about everything. If you are not, we can go to the Bingmen," Li Yanmo stared at the monk's eyes.
During his and Leng Ningshuang's plan, a member of the Demon Fairy Cult came to contact him.
But the Demon Immortal Sect is cautious in its actions. They will not be so foolish as to make contact with us. There will inevitably be a testing phase.
"Okay, benefactor, my Dharma name is Daohai, I wonder what your name should be——"
Dao Hai nodded with a smile, took out a rice ball from his sleeve, and started eating while shaking his head.
"I won't say anything until we get to the soldiers' gate."
"That's... okay."
The monk scratched his head helplessly, and in his slightly raised eyes he saw a ray of sword light hidden in the shadows above the treetops.
"Donor, I am actually more scared than you."
“Hehehe——”
Li Yanmo smiled and expressed his disbelief.
The two of them arrived at Risheng City one after the other at dawn.
Just as he was about to enter the door, Li Yanmo suddenly remembered something. Would he be discovered walking with a monk by the people of the Demon Immortal Sect, causing his and Leng Ningshuang's plan to fail?
In fact, at this point, Li Yanmo had already believed that Dao Hai was not a member of the Demon Immortal Sect.
Just when Li Yanmo was thinking about how to speak to Daohai, he saw Daohai shook his robes and turned them over. Under the plain robes was a noble robe. Dao Hai raised his hand and waved again, and the shiny bald head was replaced by beautiful long black hair.
In the blink of an eye, Daohai changed from a monk into a nobleman, and Li Yanmo became like the nobleman's lackey.
Seeing Li Yanmo's face full of surprise, Daohai smiled.
"You will always run into trouble when you are out, so the uncles created this trick to return to secular life with one click, so that you can tell lies at any time."
