Wet viviparity

Chapter 279 Dialogue, Secret in the Stack
The two gentlemen were nervous. The monk was able to put some pressure on them, so he must be no ordinary person.

However, seeing that Jin Tong was calm and composed, they gradually calmed down, and all stood with their arms folded, protecting Jin Tong in front of the counter.

The thick, frayed store book was opened by the old shopkeeper. As soon as he picked up the small fox-hair brush, it was snatched away by the monk, who also took the book on the counter.

"I'll remember it!"

The monk said without further ado.

"Please remember, please remember." Ji Ming asked.

"Haha~" The monk dipped some ink and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist, please don't mind. To tell you the truth, we are here to intercept some people, some children of the Demon Palace, and their friends."

"Testing?"

An idea flashed through his mind, and he said, "That demon palace is unusual. One of my friends is also trapped in it."

The monk did not follow up on Ji Ming's question, as if he did not want to fall into Ji Ming's conversation rhythm, and began to write on the page of the book.

"What do you call fellow Taoist?"

"No problem, Zhang Bao."

When being questioned, the best way to avoid revealing flaws is to tell the truth, or to tell nine truths and one lie.

The monk took note and asked the two gentlemen, who also wrote down everything.

"You said you were from"

"Luo Lang!"

This time the monk did not pick up the pen, but asked, "Which Luo Lang?"

"It is Luolang where Zhaoyue Temple is located."

The reason why Ji Ming said this is because there is an "immortal" living in Zhaoyue Temple. He is an old monster who has transformed himself. It is difficult for ordinary cultivators to find out what is going on there.

"Zhaoyue Temple."

As the monk spoke, he took notes and said, "Did Taoist Zhang make a fortune in Zhaoyue Temple?"

"No, we don't have that ability."

Ji Ming started laughing as he spoke, and Er Jun also started laughing.

For a moment, the people standing around shouted to stop him, but the monk calmly waved his hand to stop the people around him.

He naturally understood why Ji Ming laughed. Few people knew that there was an old demon lurking in Luo Lang's Zhaoyue Temple. Who could make a fortune there?

After Ji Ming finished laughing, he felt that his performance was flawless, and said, "There are many people in the world who don't have a place to stay and rely on the gods for food. Wherever there is business, we, the three heroes of the mountain, will be there.

It’s just that the three of us brothers don’t have a lot of perseverance and can’t stay anywhere, so this time we ended up staying at Luo Lang’s place for a while.”

The monk began to write down his thoughts, his expression slightly relaxed, and he said, "I would like to ask, what business are you doing in this desolate mountain?"

Jiehuojun puffed out his chest, knowing that it was time for him to perform, and said with a smile: "My wife has given birth, and we are anxious to return to the village."

"The stockade?"

"Gangtou Village is not far from here.

A hundred years ago, an immortal master emerged in our village and became a disciple of Xuanshi Village.

Later, the immortal master returned to the village frequently and passed down some Zhou Tian Xing Gong and Heche rising and falling methods. We brothers have learned some skills, but because we lack talent, the village is unwilling to support us, so we can only travel outside and work hard to maintain our practice.

Now I have some experience, but I also know what kind of person I am. I just want my descendants to not suffer the same fate as us."

He made up the story of Gangtouzhai, and there is no such place at all. However, this story is based on the local customs and folkways of Lingnan, and I believe it is convincing enough and can resonate with people.

In the hall, several elderly people looked moved.

Behind the counter, the monk also sighed, closed the store book, clasped his hands and chanted the Buddha's name. Although he was not supported by the village, many of his close friends were like this. After showing their talent for cultivation in their youth, they were supported by the entire village to practice, and after they succeeded in their practice, they gave back to the village.

The area in the mountains is vast and sparsely populated, and the village is blocked by heavy mountains. If we don’t stick together and gather strength, we can’t survive.

Ji Ming pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder where the master is meditating?"

"Haha!" The monk laughed twice, and his attitude became visibly friendly. He said, "That's far away, Tugu Temple. I wonder if you have heard of it."

"nature."

Ji Ming's eyes lit up, he looked the monk up and down, and said, "Are you Master Loufan from Tugu Temple, a disciple of Master Fubei? I have heard of your great name for a long time. We brothers have always wanted to go to the temple to pay homage to you, get some food in the temple, and live a happy life."

The monk Lou Fan did not refuse, but pointed at the people around him and said, "These are all my men who make a living. Now they are running around outside all day long. It has been a long time since they had a happy day."

"Humph!"

At a table, Ding Xianu said with an unfailing expression, "They are really birds of a feather."

Ji Ming ignored Ding Xianu's contempt and immersed himself in the performance. He said to the monk Lou Fan in front of him, "I wonder what the master is busy with and whether there is any use for the three of us brothers."

The two gentlemen behind him had a flash of eyes, knowing that Jintong had been laying the groundwork for a long time and was only now getting to the point.

If they were in each other's shoes, the two gentlemen knew that even if they cooperated well with each other, they would never be able to come up with such a reasonable story, let alone deal with the monk Lou Fan with ease.

"Don't be surprised, fellow Taoist. This is about the Wrongly Dead Demon Palace in Mingyu Mountain." Monk Lou Fan pointed upwards, then looked at Ding Minjun's table and said, "The master told us that no one can be here for this matter.

Haha, please give me this favor, fellow Taoists. I can go to Tugu Temple to collect some money for the talisman in the future."

"understand."

Ji Ming turned around and looked at the two gentlemen. The monk Lou Fan was very tight-lipped, which meant that the matter here must be complicated. This made them more determined to investigate.

"Both of you!"

Just as the three of them were about to leave, the scholar called out to them, "You can rest here for a while before leaving."

"In that case, after we brothers have rested, we will leave here as soon as possible so as not to delay your important matters." Ji Ming thanked him.

This scholar was called the disciple of the immortal Bichen by the monk Lou Fan. Could it be that two Jindan immortals have gathered in this small inn? It seems that something big is going on here.

The three of them were led up to the second floor by the old shopkeeper. After entering the room, no one spoke to each other. They just went to bed hastily in the room. They were not sure whether they were being spied on here.

Soon, snoring became louder.

Jiehuojun was really sleepy and fell asleep in a daze. Then he was roughly awakened. When he opened his eyes, he found himself still in the room.

“We are here.”

Just as he was about to speak, he felt three transparent objects in front of him, separating him, his elder brother, and Jintong in a corner of the room.

In the room, there were three figures exactly like them sleeping there. He realized that this must be an illusion created by what was in front of him.

"This is Jintong's concealment device, which can ensure our safety." Linshuijun said to A'di.

“Golden boy.

No, Lingxuzi, I have never admired anyone, but this time you really let me see that you will definitely be able to achieve something in the future."

Jiehuo Jun said excitedly, and then said to Linshui Jun: "Brother, you are convinced this time."

"Convinced!"

Lin Shuijun nodded.

"In terms of law and skills, Jin Tong is first-rate, but I didn't expect that he is so sophisticated and mature in the ways of the world. I, Lin Shuijun, am deeply impressed.

In the future, you will be the one who follows the team's lead."
