Chapter 085
Cheng Hui took a quick look and saw that people from every village were entering the black tower. In addition to them and the monks from the Tianming Sect's Happy Temple, there were also many small animals entering.
The two monks from Tianming Sect were very excited when they saw Cheng Hui, and seemed to want to ask them for help. However, they calmed down after being scolded by the weasel.
On the contrary, the two big monks in the Joyful Temple were handsome and charming. If Cheng Hui had not already known the style of the Joyful Temple, he might have been fooled.
"Amitabha, I am Huiling, nice to meet you two donors." A young monk who looked to be in his twenties came over and greeted them.
The people in the Joy Temple practice Joy Zen, and most of them have the secret to maintaining their youthful appearance. Cheng Hui was not sure whether this monk, who looked about the same age as himself, was actually a pervert in his seventies or eighties.
But as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. When someone greeted him with a smile, he couldn't pretend not to see it, so he just nodded.
Hui Ling smiled gently, her eyes moving from Cheng Hui's face to Lin Qingyang, a strange glint in her eyes: "You two benefactors have made remarkable progress. It's only been a few days since we last met, and yet you've already established your foundation."
"Fortunately, I'm lucky enough to make it in time." Seeing that Lin Qingyang had no intention of speaking, Cheng Hui took the initiative to step forward and said.
Hui Ling rolled his eyes, knowing that his family's reputation was not very good, and did not say much. He simply said a few words and went back.
Cheng Hui pondered for a moment, and Hui Ling's general meaning was that they were all foreign monks, and it would be best for them to unite and explore together, so as not to be deceived by these local animals.
He was not sure what Huiling meant by "blinded", but he felt that the relationship between Huiling and the village was not as harmonious as he imagined, and Huiling seemed to have other plans, which he had not revealed yet. He would probably tell them only after he was completely out of the sight of these people and entered the black tower.
The group entered the black tower quietly.
Before entering the door, Cheng Hui instinctively grabbed Lin Qingyang's hand to prevent the black tower from performing random teleportation and to avoid being separated.
Fortunately, the Black Tower did not have such an operation. After entering the door, they faced several forks in the road. Since the terrain was different every time they entered here, there was no map. Everyone quickly dispersed at this fork in the road and took different paths.
Cheng Hui glanced at Lin Qingyang, and Lin Qingyang shook his head at him. There were still too many people around, and it was not convenient to use the secret technique. It would be better to separate from them and then look for the Hundred Beasts Map.
Cheng Hui was about to leave when Hui Ling stopped him.
Cheng Hui looked at him in surprise. Hui Ling smiled at him and stopped the two monks from Tianming Sect.
There were six of them in total who stayed where they were. The other little animals just glanced at them and left, seemingly not minding them gathering together.
"What's the matter?" The two monks from Tianming Sect were a man and a woman. The man seemed very irritable, but the woman looked calm. While waiting, she did not forget to observe the people present.
Hui Ling clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, I have something to discuss with you. I apologize for taking up some of your time."
Cheng Hui could see that Lin Qingyang was very disgusted with this group of unruly monks and had no intention of communicating with them at all.
He thought about it and decided that even if they didn't join forces, it would be nice to know the other party's plan. He didn't forget that the Happy Temple was an authentic demonic sect, and no one knew whether their plan would affect the two of them.
The male cultivator from Tianming Sect didn't want to listen any more and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the female cultivator, so he stayed impatiently.
Hui Ling didn't expect that he would show his dominance and everyone would submit to him as soon as he opened his mouth. He just simply stated the situation he and others were in, hoping that if they met again in the maze, they could unite with each other and at least avoid being ambushed by those animals.
To show his sincerity, he also showed several people some of his gains in the village.
Because Huiling and his friends looked good, no fight broke out immediately when they encountered the animals in the village. Instead, Huiling used his eloquence to coax many of the small animals in the village into having a very good impression of them.
Because their disguise was so successful, the little animals were not on guard against the two and were easily able to extract a lot of information from them.
What Hui Ling shared was some information about the Black Tower. There wasn't much content, and Cheng Hui had basically heard it all from Village Chief Lao Jin.
However, the two monks from Tianming Sect knew almost nothing about the Black Tower because of their bad relationship with the animals in the village, and they listened very attentively at this moment.
After the two of them finished speaking, it was Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang's turn.
Cheng Hui thought about it and mentioned the black hair ball he encountered in the desert. Of course, he did not mention the beads that could promote cultivation, nor did he mention his other gains, but the news about the black hair ball was enough to satisfy Hui Ling.
Comparatively speaking, the experiences of the two people from Tianming Sect were a bit tragic. As soon as they entered the ancient tomb, they were thrown into the woods and encountered some animal villagers not long after they walked.
The two men's strength far surpassed those small animals, and they themselves realized this, so they did not kill them at the beginning. Instead, they planned to catch them alive to obtain more information.
But they didn't expect that although these little animals were extremely weak, they possessed a strange magical weapon. Especially when the weasel appeared and threw out a rope, it tied them both up to death.
After being tied up, the spiritual energy in his body was also sealed. Until now, they still don't know how the other party did it.
After all, in their impression, only monks can drive magical instruments, because only monks have spiritual power in their bodies. Those small animals have not practiced, so they should not be able to use powerful magical instruments, but they just did it.
"That is to say, after we get out, we still have to be careful of their ropes?" Hui Ling said thoughtfully.
"That's right, if it weren't for that broken rope, I could kill their entire village!" said the male cultivator of Tianming Sect angrily.
The female cultivator's face darkened when she heard this: "Be careful with your words!"
The male cultivator was still unconvinced and wanted to say something, but was frightened by the look of the female cultivator and dared not speak.
Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang exchanged a glance, their minds reeling. As expected, the villages here were no ordinary place. If the weasel had the ropes used to bind the monks, what could Old Jin possibly have?
When they saw that the old goat dared to invite them back to the village, they knew in their hearts that the village must have some means to check and balance them. Otherwise, even if they threatened them with the kitten, the other party would never be able to bring an enemy that they could not resist into their hometown.
Fortunately, they had no ill intentions from the beginning, which allowed them to get along harmoniously with the villagers, build trust, and then cooperate.
After Huiling exchanged information with them, he separated from them.
The two men from Tianming Sect also randomly chose a fork in the road and walked in.
After taking them away, Cheng Hui thought of his experience with Lin Qingyang and couldn't help but laugh.
They have such a good relationship with the villagers, and he even got an unexpected reward. Does this count as good people being rewarded?
Cheng Hui raised the corner of his mouth slightly, which happened to be seen by Lin Qingyang. He frowned slightly and tugged at the corner of Cheng Hui's clothes.
Cheng Hui looked down at him and heard him say, "What are you laughing at, Ah Hui? Are you thinking about those little brats in the village again?"
Cheng Hui: ...You can’t get over the issue of petting furry animals, right?
He smiled, squatted down, gently stretched out his hand, suddenly pinched Lin Qingyang's ear and twisted it gently——
Lin Qingyang:!!!
Cheng Hui grinned grimly and said, "Lin Qingyang, you've been asking for a lesson lately, haven't you? Who taught you to say things like 'little bastard'? Where are your manners?"
Lin Qingyang was stunned. His ears didn't hurt, but they felt a little sore and numb.
Moreover, Cheng Hui's reaction was somewhat beyond his expectations. He was not angry, he just thought... Cheng Hui lecturing him like this was so cute... He wanted to fuck him!
Lin Qingyang knew that Cheng Hui had always treated him like a younger brother, but perhaps he acted too maturely. Cheng Hui had almost never lectured him, and suddenly doing so this time felt... quite fresh.
He blinked, and tears suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Before..."
"What happened before?"
Lin Qingyang suddenly choked. He originally wanted to gain sympathy by using his experience in the Blood Demon Sect, but he suddenly realized... that was a thing of his previous life.
In this life, he should be the apple of everyone's eye... No, it seems that he is also set to be a poor little guy in this life, so there is no problem using this trick!
Plan pass: √
He lowered his eyes, his expression gloomy: "Before... when I first came to your house, some people said this to me in private."
Cheng Hui: ???
What? There's such a thing?
Cheng Hui was immediately furious. This kid had experienced the loss of his family and had come all the way here for refuge, yet there were still people bullying him behind his back? Were these people even human?!
Compared with the hateful group of people, Lin Qingyang in front of him suddenly looked pitiful.
Cheng Hui coughed twice with a guilty conscience, then hugged the man in his arms, gently stroking his back, and said softly, "It's my fault. I scolded you without knowing the truth. But you little bastard, try not to say such things in the future. If anyone dares to say that to you in the future, tell me and I'll help you beat him up."
"Yeah." Lin Qingyang nestled obediently in Cheng Hui's arms, closing his eyes and raising the corners of his mouth.
Cheng Hui's embrace was very warm, his chest muscles were a little hard, and it felt very comfortable to hold onto, and there was a strong sense of security.
Lin Qingyang enjoyed this benefit to the fullest, and his soft breath passed through his clothes and hit Cheng Hui's chest.
Cheng Hui felt something was a little strange, and after enduring for a long time, he finally couldn't help but push the person out: "Well, I'll pay attention next time, but you should also be careful not to speak ill of others casually, understand?"
Lin Qingyang blinked: "If someone bullies me or scolds me, can't I scold them back?"
Cheng Hui thought about it. Although it is not nice for children to scold others, you have to admit that some people are just so mean, and you would be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t scold them.
He couldn't even guarantee that he wouldn't curse people, so how could he have the nerve to force Lin Qingyang to do so?
"How about this... you can't speak ill of people who mean you no harm?
Lin Qingyang nodded, thinking that Cheng Hui's requirements could actually be stricter. Sooner or later, he would kill those who harbored evil intentions towards him anyway, so it didn't matter whether they scolded him or not.
