Episode 100

  "Huh? I'm asking you, old man, is there some kind of monster in this temple? How can it have such a terrifying aura?"

  "Nonsense! This place is a treasure land of Feng Shui, where can there be any strange noises? Let's play chess! Play chess!" The old Taoist was still unhappy about losing, and upon hearing this, he became furious, let out a loud roar, and refocused his mind on the chessboard.

  "Big brother, just now it seemed like there was some kind of monster howling!"

  The little Taoist boy replied in a timid tone.

  "Don't talk nonsense! In broad daylight, what kind of monster could there be?"

  That middle-aged Taoist was half-believing and half-doubting, his eyes bright and his ears pricked up at the sound of a mournful and strange howl, which made people's hearts tremble with fear. He looked around in all directions, but there was nothing unusual anywhere, so he let out a long sigh and continued with his work.

  It turned out that the sound really existed!

  Insufficient to see that the young lord's actions, his heart and soul shocked and violently angry, he let out a loud roar, and with a burst of energy, he struck Non-physical with all his might.

  "Boom!"

  "Wow!"

  "Pffft! Pffft! Pffft! .........."

  A small world within the room suddenly burst into a bloody mist, with fine dust-like fragments of flesh and bone flying everywhere, seeping into the walls around the room and rapidly shooting outward in all directions!

  "What? Real person! How can there be pink mist in this courtyard? It's really strange!"

  "Hold your tongue! Don't think you've won just because you've beaten the old man in two games! Let's see who'll win this round!"

  That old Taoist concentrated on the chessboard, without even raising his eyes, staring intently at the board.

  "Oh no, oh no! I'm done for!"

  Another player's eyes were misty with pink fog, unable to calm down, losing three games in a row, and sighed as he walked away. The old Taoist, however, was radiant with joy and instructed:

  "Get some delicious food! Haha! Today I won three games in a row and turned defeat into victory! Haha!"

  In the west wing, Insufficient (to) accompany Xing'er, after meditation, also got up and wanted to leave. Insufficient thought for a moment, then took that knowing right and wrong, young master's law bag into his hand, said to Xing'er:

  " Chang'er, open it and take a look if there's any treasure inside."

  "Uh-huh."

  The two of them poured out all the items from the law bag, and it was a huge pile! The quality of the materials was excellent, and there were many types. Among them, several were essential for the formation of the Grand Law Array, which had been lacking for a long time. Although there were still several precious items, including a large number of giant crystal stones, compared to what was lacking, it was the Grand Law Array that they were after!

  "Chang'er, now we two are going to make our fortunes!"

  Insufficiently happy to say.

  "Not enough, brother, let's hurry up and leave, don't be late, or that group of hidden cultivators will arrive soon."

  Chang'er had once witnessed the anxiety of killing enemies and taking their belongings, but now she was overjoyed as if she had stumbled upon a treasure. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, for this group of cultivators were indeed a dye vat - no matter how clean and pure one's body was, once they entered this path, there was no exception, they all revealed their greedy nature, their words and laughter showed their selfishness, cruel and ruthless, with countless deceitful tricks.

  "Hmm! Chang'er, put them all in the law bag, don't drop a single one."

  Chang'e did not speak again, but silently nodded in agreement. After a while, she said:

  "Chang'er, why do you have an unhappy expression?"

  "No! I'm not inferior to you, brother. After this time, I'm afraid our paths will be fraught with danger!"

  "Chang Er, life is never easy. Difficulties and dangers are always lurking, that's just the way it is, what's there to fear?"

  "Alright! Not bad, big brother, great hero! Hehehe."

  "Alright, let's hide here for now and wait until the wind dies down before making our next move."

  It was late at night, the darkness was deep and silent, the fields were quiet, occasionally a few barks of dogs, which made the night even more quiet and soundless. The stars in the sky twinkled, a thin crescent moon hung low, like a delicate bamboo, surrounded by dark shadows. Only from the main hall next door came the continuous snoring sounds, it was the old Taoist priest who was fast asleep and dreaming.

  "Chang'er, what's the hurry now?"

  "Alright, I will follow your words, elder brother."

  Silently and stealthily, they opened the door of the left wing of the house, and two figures flashed out. In a flash, the two figures were already on the streets of this mundane city.

  It was just as the figure of Chang'e had barely disappeared over the wall of the temple that the door of the eastern wing creaked open and a figure emerged. "Ahh, there's a ghost! There's a ghost!"

  He walked backwards and suddenly found himself stepping on nothing, falling flat on his back.

  "There is, there is, there is a ghost!......"

  "What! Younger brother, don't scare older brother! Where is the ghost?"

  "Aiyo! Aiyo! I'm dying of pain! I'm dying of pain! Brother Shifu! I saw it clearly, indeed they were two ghosts, and with one call, their traces disappeared. Ahya! Scared me to death!"

  "Where is it?"

  That senior brother said with a quivering tone.

  "It seems like someone is coming out of the west wing!"

  "Nonsense! The east wing is used for storing miscellaneous items, what ghost would come from there?"

  "Big brother, really, I didn't lie!"

  "Why don't we two go and take a closer look?"

  "Big brother, I don't dare go!"

  The two of them didn't make a sound for half the night. They sat opposite each other, sleepless through the night, and before long it was dawn. They tiptoed to the outside of the left wing room, saw that the door was half open, and exchanged a glance. Both felt a chill in their hearts, and again shivered violently, with their hair standing on end.

  On the street, there were few people, only a handful of drunkards, stumbling and staggering along the road. Chang'er said it was not worth mentioning:

  "Not enough, brother! We scared that little Daoist boy to death too! Hahaha!"

  "Hehe! Who knew he would come out of the house at that very moment!"

  "Then, where shall we go, brother?"

  "Let's go find lodging first and talk about it again tomorrow."

  "Alright!"

  Tai Ping Guest House

  A young shop assistant was dozing off on a long bench.

  Bang, bang, bang.

  The sound of knocking on the door came over.

  "Who is it? It's the middle of the night!"

  The little servant opened his sleepy eyes and got up in a daze to open the door.

  Ouch.

  The door creaked open and a young servant stood beside it.

  "Little brother, we two want to stay overnight."

  Not enough to repay the kindness of the past.

  "Stay overnight? Oh, okay, two guests please come in, our store just happens to have one empty room left. Upstairs please."

  That little servant kept his eyes on Xiang'er, sizing her up from head to toe without stopping.

  Insufficient wonder way:

  "What's wrong with that?"

  "No! No! You're overthinking it, sir!"

  After paying the deposit and rent, there were only two of us following a shop assistant upstairs to a room about 10 feet in size, which was quite clean.

  "What instructions do you have for me? Please go ahead and give them."

  Nothing else, just need warm water to wash feet!

  "Alright, here it comes."

  The child brought some water over and then said:

  "Please rest early, sir. I'll be back to serve you at dawn."

  "Hmm!"

  The little servant retreated and went out.

  "Hum! This scholar must have eloped with someone's daughter! Hehehe, a male thief and a female prostitute, it's really fun!"

  These words were all transmitted into Chang'er's ears. Chang'er was annoyed in her heart and her face was not pleasant.

  "Chang'er, don't you feel well?"

  "No, it's not enough just being brothers, we must cultivate and meditate!"

  "Ah! Good!"

  The two of them sat cross-legged on the floor. Chang'er was on the embroidered bed, while the other person was on a low stool. The two of them silently faced each other and cultivated their skills.
