Chapter 993 Skeleton Cult!
After Lu Yang and the other man put on the masks, they looked and aura like completely different people, blending in with the crowd without being noticeable at all.
"Two bowls of porridge, please."
Lu Yang was very curious when he saw the new stuff. He didn't know what the street chef was cooking. He could only see that it was a big pot of sticky stuff, bubbling. Judging from the similar shops that could be seen everywhere on the street, this should be a specialty of Buddhism.
"Okay."
The chef scooped two spoonfuls of the paste onto the rice, which looked unappetizing.
Lu Yang tasted it and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The taste was indescribable.
Before, I had always eaten vegetarian food at Kaihuang Temple or at Cui Shan’s house, and the food was always very good, which led me to believe that the cooking skills in the Buddhist country were above standard.
"I was wondering why no one in Daxia was selling this. Who would eat this?" Meng Jingzhou couldn't help but say after taking two bites.
If the Buddha Country porridge was really delicious, people from the Buddha Country would have gone to Daxia to sell it long ago. It has not been spread there for 300,000 years, which shows how mediocre the taste of the Buddha Country porridge is.
At least it's not to the taste of the people of Daxia.
The two were frustrated during their adventure and ate their porridge slowly.
If you don’t eat it, it’s a waste of food. If you eat it, it’s even worse than wasting food.
"Old Meng, do you have a spell that can block out smells?"
"If I had it I would have used it a long time ago."
"Two masters?" A slightly familiar voice sounded, as if calling Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.
The two of them instinctively looked up and recognized the person: "Miss Cui?"
Now that they are disguised, no one can recognize them except the Cui family.
They used this fake face when they went to Cui Shan’s house before.
"They are really two masters." Cui Que'er didn't expect to meet Lu Yang and the others in such a dirty stall. She thought she had seen the wrong people.
After all, few monks are willing to come to such a place.
"Why is Miss Cui here too?"
Cui Que'er pointed to the team holding bowls not far away and said, "Dad will come here to distribute porridge on the fifth, fifteenth, and twenty-fifth days of the lunar month. Today is the fifth day of May."
Lu Yang suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he was called Mr. Cui Shanren. He thought that he donated a lot of money to Kaihuang Temple, but he didn't expect that he really did good deeds.
"By the way, Miss Cui, are you free for a while? We are not familiar with this area. Can you take us around Kaihuang City?" Lu Yang asked awkwardly.
Originally, they thought that the two of them could just stroll around and not trouble the monks of Kaihuang Temple. However, who would have thought that the first meal out of the house would be unreliable. If they continued to wander around like this, who knows what strange things they might come across.
Cui Que'er readily agreed: "Okay, but I was originally planning to go out with my friends. Do you two masters mind bringing my friend along? She really likes the fun."
Lu Yang raised his hand and smiled: "That's perfect, we both like the hustle and bustle."
"Then I'll get busy first. See you later!" Cui Que'er noticed that the porridge distribution office was a little busy. She felt embarrassed to be lazy here, so she quickly ran over to help Mr. Cui.
After half an hour, Lu Yang and the other man finally finished this difficult meal, and Cui Que'er had also finished her work.
"Thank you for waiting, Masters."
"The timing is perfect, let's go, it's a good time for us to meet the friend who knows you."
"Walk."
Cui Que'er was walking in front with high spirits. Lu Yang and the others thought that her friend might be a young lady from a wealthy family, but they didn't expect that she would go further and further away, all the way deep into the slums.
As if she had noticed the two's confusion, Cui Que'er turned her head and explained embarrassedly, "He's a friend I met when I sneaked out as a child."
Lu Yang had a strange expression on his face. Why did this road look so familiar?
Finally, Cui Que'er knocked on a door and said, "Qiaoqiao, I'm here. Open the door."
"Sister Que'er, you are here."
The person who opened the door was Tang Qiaoqiao, who had been to Kaihuang Temple before.
"Who are these two?" Tang Qiaoqiao opened the door excitedly and was quite surprised to see Lu Yang and the others.
As far as I can remember, Sister Que'er has never brought any strangers to their house.
"Let me introduce you. This is Master Lu, and this is Master Meng." Cui Que'er saw that Lu Yang and the other two were disguised, and thought that they probably didn't want to make it public, so she didn't introduce their full names. When Tang Qiaoqiao heard their last names, she was surprised.
Considering what happened in Sister Que'er's family before and the overwhelming publicity, it is not difficult to guess the identities of these two people. Her little face flushed with excitement.
"Please come in quickly."
"Brother, a guest is coming."
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
"If the sparrows come, then the sparrows come. Why are you shouting that guests are coming? ... There really are guests."
Tang Qiaoqiao secretly nudged Tang Chuanwu twice with her elbow: "These two are real masters, one is Master Lu and the other is Master Meng, please be polite when speaking."
Tang Chuanwu's pupils shrank, and he roughly guessed the identities of Lu Yang and the other two.
"Hello." Lu Yang pretended to meet Tang Chuanwu for the first time.
"Hello, my name is Tang Chuanwu." For some reason, Tang Chuanwu saw that Lu Yang was inexplicably reserved, as if the secret he was proud of would be seen through.
It's impossible, impossible. Even the legendary big man can't see through his secret. Only he knows the ability to go back in time, and only he can retain his memory when time goes back.
"Are you studying pharmacology?" Meng Jingzhou noticed an open book on the table, which listed various common herbs.
"Well, my brother is an apprentice in a pharmacy." Tang Qiaoqiao introduced her brother proudly.
"Know how to read?" Meng Jingzhou was a little surprised. Generally speaking, the literacy rate of children in slums is not high.
"Que'er taught me."
Cui Que'er tapped the back of Tang Chuanwu's head: "How many times have I told you to call me sister?"
Tang Chuanwu showed a look of disgust and refused to call out.
Lu Yang smiled knowingly, it seemed that Tang Chuanwu was secretly in love with Cui Que'er.
That’s right, I’ve known her since childhood. Cui Que’er is very pretty and kind-hearted, so it’s normal to have a crush on her.
Just when Lu Yang wanted to laugh and make a joke, he heard a bang, the wooden door broke, and several mysterious men in black robes broke into Tang Qiaoqiao's house.
There was a pink skull symbol painted on the brim of the black robe.
Tang Chuanwu recognized the skull symbol and his expression suddenly changed: "People from the Skull Cult!"
The leader let out an inhuman laugh and lifted his hood, revealing a swollen face that looked as if it had been soaked in water.
"Boy, I am the guardian of the Horn, one of the twenty-eight constellations of the Divine Religion. You took my Divine Religion's things. Do you think we can't find them if you hide them here?"
The guardian horn licked his lips and looked around at Lu Yang and the others. They were just weak mortals.
"Tell me, do you want us to leave you a whole body if you hand them over voluntarily, or do you want me to kill them all and then hand them over?"
Tang Chuanwu secretly thought that something was not good. He had been extremely careful, but he still didn't expect to be discovered by the people of the Skeleton Cult.
The monks really have all kinds of incredible supernatural powers!
Lu Yang’s mind was full of question marks. What on earth was the Skeleton Cult? How come he had never heard of it? Now even someone who had reached the great perfection of Qi training could become a Dharma protector?
