After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 207 Pest Control, The Six Friends of Longtan?
In the Zen room.

Monk Longdeng sat there in a daze, the shock on his face still not subsiding.

"Is this Jintan from your Jianfeng Temple?"

Chen Yang asked a question that seemed to have no meaning.

The man's mind was in a state of confusion, and he attacked anyone he saw like a mad wild dog. His strength was not weak either, so Chen Yang and his companions couldn't get close to him at all, so they left him in the cave and didn't get him out.

Longdeng came back to his senses and nodded. "More than ten years ago, when I came to Jianfeng Temple to become a monk, he was already here. It was probably one day in the summer of the year before last. When we were doing morning prayers in the temple, we didn't see him anymore. Master Jinming told us that Master Jintan had gone down the mountain to travel. We didn't pay much attention to it. We didn't expect..."

Chen Yang asked, "Do you have detailed information about this Master Jintan?"

"Wait a minute, I'm going to get something."

Long Deng was confused at the moment and couldn't say anything, so he immediately stood up and walked out.

About ten minutes later, Longdeng walked back into the meditation room.

Holding a yellow booklet in his hand.

"This is the certificate of ordination for Master Jintan. It contains some information about him."

Long Deng directly handed the certificate of ordination to Liu Henghu.

Liu Henghu opened it and took a look, then handed it to Chen Yang.

"Master Jintan has been a monk in Jianfeng Temple since 80, which is 44 years ago. His ancestral home is in Nanyun Province. His secular name is Liu, Liu Changqing, and he is now 93 years old..."

Longdeng spoke briefly beside him.

After Chen Yang finished reading the certificate, he gave it back to Qinzhou.

"Liu Changqing? This name sounds familiar." Qinzhou frowned slightly.

Chen Yang just looked at him, and before he could ask, Liu Henghu said, "Back then, there was a remarkable person in Niutou Mountain Liujia Village, one of the twelve villages in Raojiang, Nanyun Province. It seems that he was also called this name."

"Correct."

Qin Zhou suddenly woke up, "It's him!"

A pair of slanted eyes were filled with certainty, "Liu Changqing, he didn't run away."

Chen Yang frowned. He didn't understand why Qin Zhou was so excited.

"Mr. Qin knows this person?" Liu Henghu looked at him puzzled.

Qin Zhou calmed down a little after hearing this. "I can't say I know him. I just met him when I was young. At that time, he was with Ding Huanchun..."

Ding Huanchun?
Chen Yang's eyes moved slightly. He was a little sensitive to this name.

"Years."

Seeing Chen Yang looking at him, Qin Zhou sighed, "In the early 1970s, Ding Huanchun was sent down to Jiapigou. He came to look for Ding Huanchun and stayed in Jiapigou for more than a month. I met him several times..."

"Are they on good terms?" Chen Yang asked.

Liu Henghu took over the conversation, "It's more than good..."

"Back then, at Longtan Temple in the provincial capital, Ding Huanchun, Liu Changqing, Zhao Junting from the Zhao family of Luoshan, and Yang Dongguan from the Yang family of Longtaishan became sworn brothers together. They were called the Longtan Six Friends. Ding Huanchun was the eldest, and Liu Changqing was the second..."

"This……"

Chen Yang paused. He had never heard of this before.

"These people were considered the top figures in their generation in the Panshan industry. Unfortunately, they all went astray. They got together and colluded with each other to do many evil things..."

"They are all in the spiritual realm and have extraordinary skills. They were famous in Shuzhong and even the whole country's Panshan world. At one point, they were so arrogant that they wanted to go and play with the Seven Stars Pile. As a result, they were wanted by all five sects and eight meridians and were chased by the authorities. In the end, none of them had a good ending..."

"After the battle at Sipan Mountain, Ding Huanchun disappeared. Not long after, Liu Changqing also disappeared. After so many years, I never thought that he had come to Jianfeng Temple to become a monk as early as 1980..."

……

Liu Henghu is worthy of being the boss of the caravan. When it comes to talking about this history, he knows it like the back of his hand.

Qinzhou nodded repeatedly beside him. Although Liu Henghu was younger than him, his status was there and he knew much more comprehensive things than him.

Longdeng didn't quite understand what they were talking about, but he could probably tell that his uncle Jintan was probably not a good person before he became a monk.

"The Buddha said that if you put down your butcher knife, you will become a Buddha instantly. Uncle Master must have had a great enlightenment, so he became a monk in Jianfeng Temple, right?" Long Deng said with emotion.

No one dares to agree with this.

The three of them shook their heads, fearing that it wasn't that simple.

Ding Huanchun died in Qishan in 79. In 80, Liu Changchun had a sudden enlightenment and came to Jianfeng Temple to become a monk.

The timing is too coincidental.

Moreover, there are so many temples in Shu, why did he come to Bamianshan instead of visiting them?

What's the point of this?
Considering the relationship between Ding Huanchun and the Bamianshan Underground Palace, it is not difficult to imagine that Liu Changchun's purpose of becoming a monk here was probably not pure from the beginning.

It is highly likely, or certain, that he is heading for the underground palace.

Unfortunately, there is still a monk named Jinming in Jianfeng Temple.

"I think I can roughly guess what's going on."

At this time, Liu Henghu spoke up, "The sudden disappearance of Ding Huanchun and the execution of his brothers and sisters must have been a great blow to him. Maybe he really had the idea of ​​becoming a monk, but the fact that he chose to become a monk in Jianfeng Temple shows that he was not sincere in doing so..."

"With Master Jinming in Jianfeng Temple, he couldn't cause any trouble. So, he spent forty years in Jianfeng Temple to gain Master Jinming's trust and make Master Jinming believe that he had truly let go of the past and sincerely converted..."

"Maybe he had been waiting, maybe he wanted to wait until Master Jinming died, but unfortunately Master Jinming was too durable. If he waited any longer, he would probably die before Master Jinming. So, Liu Changchun couldn't bear it anymore..."

"Liu Changchun is from Nanyunraojiang. He is good at raising and controlling insects. If nothing unexpected happens, the person who uses the phoenix tree to raise insects should be him..."

"His transformation must have been discovered by Master Jinming, and the two of them had a fight. He was no match for Master Jinming, so he was locked in the cave by Master Jinming."

"He is Master Jinming's junior fellow apprentice. No matter what, they have been friends for more than 40 years. Maybe Master Jinming has always wanted to give him a chance, so he only imprisoned him and did not kill him..."

"After Master Jinming died, many strange things happened in the temple. I'm afraid they were caused by him. Those bats and crows were probably influenced by the evil spirits and came to feed him, or to rescue him..."

……

I have to say that Liu Henghu is really good at using his imagination.

Speaking of it, it really seems to be the case.

Qinzhou and Chen Yang also nodded repeatedly. The logic was coherent and there were no loopholes. Perhaps it was really the fact.

"Everyone, what do we do now?"

Long Deng looked at the three people in front of him without a clear idea. "Master Jintan is still in the cave. Should we get him out? The environment in there is so bad. He is already 93 years old. He can't stand such torture. I think he seems to have mental problems. Should we send him to the hospital?"

The three of them were at a loss whether to laugh or cry when they heard this.

He probably didn't know what a dangerous person this was.

What were you thinking? Sending him to the hospital?
What he should have considered was whether the cave was strong enough to hold people.

"Master Longdeng, this matter is now a private matter within your temple. It is not convenient for us to intervene. I suggest that you notify Baoguo Temple and let the authorities handle it."

Liu Henghu sighed.

Now that we know where the problem lies and that everything is caused by Liu Changqing, then if we get rid of Liu Changqing, the problem will naturally be solved.

But now his name is not Liu Changqing, his name is Jintan.

It was impossible for Liu Henghu to run into the cave and beat him to death. Moreover, he was not sure he could defeat the insane Liu Changqing.

It is indeed not convenient for him to take any action on this matter, so it is best to leave it to the authorities to handle.

"Ah, this..."

Longdeng paused, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything more.

……

Jianfeng Temple closed its doors early.

After this happened, Longdeng and the others were in no mood to receive tourists. They were also afraid that something might happen, so they closed the restaurant and refused to see any visitors.

Coming out of the Zen room, Chen Yang looked up at the sky. It was just noon and there was not a trace of haze in the blue sky.

It looks like I have to confront the Wutong tree.

After lunch, he came under the paulownia tree.

"Have you met him?"

This time, before Chen Yang could speak, the voice of the phoenix tree sounded first.

"See you."

Chen Yang nodded and looked up at the big tree in front of him. "Old Wu, don't you have anything to tell me?"

"Hey."

Wutongshu sighed deeply, "Jin Ming still couldn't bear to kill him. This guy has caused me a lot of trouble."

"Mr. Wu, tell me about Liu Changqing and you!"

"he and I……"

The Wutong tree was silent for a moment. "I have to admit that he helped me a lot. When he first came, we got along very well. He helped me get rid of insects, drive away birds, watered and fertilized the plants, and told me stories. During that time, we talked about everything..."

"One day later, he told me that he was almost 90 years old and was about to die. He envied me for having a long life. He asked me if I was willing to help him if there was a way to allow him to live longer..."

Having said this, the paulownia tree paused.

"He wanted to go to the underground palace. He said there was something in there that could prolong his life..." "In fact, Jin Ming never restricted him or forbad him to go to the underground palace..."

"He has been in Jianfeng Temple for more than 40 years, and he has been to the underground palace at least 20 to 30 times. Jin Ming knew about every time, but he just turned a blind eye and sometimes even helped him secretly..."

"Jin Tan said that the underground palace is very dangerous. He wants to raise insects, a strange kind of insect. If he can raise this kind of insect, he will have a better chance of going deep into the underground palace and getting what he wants..."

"I agreed without hesitation, and he started raising insects on my body..."

"Five years ago, he finally got what he wanted and raised a satisfactory insect. That day, he was very happy and thanked me profusely. Then he went to the underground palace excitedly..."

"After disappearing for more than a month, on a stormy night, he returned to Jianfeng Temple covered in wounds. Although his injuries were serious, I could see that he was very happy. I knew that he must have gotten what he wanted..."

At this point, the paulownia tree fell silent.

"what?"

"A bright red fruit."

Wutongshu said, "When asked what it was, he refused to tell me, only saying that he had taken it from the underground palace. With this fruit, his life span could be extended..."

"But I can see that the fruit is not a good thing. There is an evil spirit inside and out..."

"Jin Ming found him and tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen. During that time, he was obsessed with studying how to use the fruit. He locked himself in a cave and spent three months using the fruit and some medicinal herbs to prepare a few pills..."

"After he ate it, he went crazy, like a mad beast, and he didn't even recognize Jin Ming..."

"Finally, Jinming overpowered him and locked him in the cave, where he remains today."

……

"Has he always been so crazy?" Chen Yang asked.

"Not really."

The phoenix tree shook its leaves. "At night, he will be awake for a while. Those bats and crows are all attracted by him. They have eaten my phoenix seeds and have worms in their bodies. They are easy to control."

"In the final analysis, Jin Ming still underestimated him. The relic cannot completely isolate him from the spiritual connection with those minions..."

"Before Jin Ming passed away, he came to me and wanted to help me get rid of the worms in my body. His method was very simple. He used his powerful spiritual cultivation to help me break through the realm of creation and attract heavenly thunder to penetrate my body..."

"He thought it was too simple. These minions are not afraid of lightning strikes at all. If I can survive, how can they not survive? Alas, in the end, they tortured me half to death..."

……

The phoenix tree lamented repeatedly, "Although I have met good fortune now, these insects are devouring my essence. The medicine you gave me yesterday did restore some of my vitality, but unfortunately it was quickly taken away by them again. Alas, I am afraid I will not live long..."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

After hearing this from the Wutong tree, Chen Yang was still very shocked.

"Tell you?"

Wutongshu smiled bitterly, "Will it be useful to tell you? Could it be that you can still help me?"

Chen Yang said, "You're not going to tell me, the medicine I gave you yesterday can restore your vitality..."

Reaching into his pocket, Chen Yang took out another bottle of [Plant Growth Essence].

"It's useless, don't waste it."

At this time, the phoenix tree became polite to him. It was completely different from the phoenix tree he had just met. "You are only temporarily replenishing my vitality. I will soon be eaten by these insects. You are not saving me, but raising insects. This will only make them stronger and accelerate my death..."

"Really? How do you know if you don't try?"

Chen Yang shook his head, unscrewed the bottle cap, and poured the liquid in the bottle directly onto the roots of the paulownia tree.

One bottle wasn't enough, so he poured another one.

"Hey! You really think I'm dying too slowly."

The paulownia tree sighed, and its roots almost instinctively absorbed the liquid.

At this moment, it could feel that the insects growing in its body were becoming excited.

They like this smell, this smell full of vitality.

They greedily absorbed this sudden vitality energy through the body of the paulownia tree.

This energy can make them grow rapidly.

Just the bottle of essence that Chen Yang gave yesterday has already caused many [insects] to enter the molting stage.

This time, the energy is greater and more surging.

For these minions, it was simply a feast.

"Okay, Mr. Wu, don't thank me. I'll come see you later."

Chen Yang clapped his hands, put the bottle in his pocket, and left in a cool manner.

"Woo!"

The paulownia tree uttered a long moan.

Although the minions were trying to steal its life, the energy of the essence injected into its body still made it obsessed with the pleasure.

"what?"

Suddenly, it seemed to discover something was wrong.

At this moment, the minions inside its body began to boil as if they were thrown into a frying pan.

They suddenly became very active, twisting their bodies madly, and tumbling around in their fruits and inside their branches.

excited?

No, not excited.

They seem to be in pain.

"what's the situation?"

The Wutong tree was a little dumbfounded and had no idea what was going on.

The bodies of those minions swelled up rapidly as if they were inflated.

Then it quickly shrank and dried up, leaving only a layer of skin.

Wow!
There were sycamore seeds falling from the trees continuously, just like rain.

At this moment, the paulownia tree was dumbfounded.

What happened?
Is it him, the guy just now?
That boy, what did you give yourself to drink?
……

-

"Ding, hunted C-level poisonous insect [Insect]*1, experience value +10, poisonous insect breeding and control proficiency +1."

"Ding, hunted C-level poisonous insect [Insect]*1, experience value +10, poisonous insect breeding and control proficiency +1."

……

In my mind, there were constant reminders of successful hunts.

The sound sounds really pleasant.

The medicine given by this system is indeed effective.

A powerful medicine specifically designed to kill insects, and a bag of pagoda candy rewarded by the system.

There were about ten pills in total, and he only put two of them into the two bottles of [Plant Growth Essence].

I'm not afraid at all that these minions won't eat it.

This effect is simply amazing.

Use drugs to poison directly, the speed is too fast.

He turned off the system prompts and just sat in the Zen room for half an hour. After he finished chatting with Liu Henghu and others, he opened the system panel to check.

The insects on the paulownia tree are almost dead.

There were more than a dozen B-level minions that persisted to the end, but they didn't last long and died one after another.

These things were originally evil objects, and Chen Yang had no intention of keeping them for his own use. It would be better to destroy them directly in exchange for experience.

……

"Ding, a total of 2025 C-level [Insects] and 32 B-level [Insects] were hunted this time, and a total of 23450 experience points were obtained. The proficiency of poisonous insect breeding and control is 2345 points."

"Ding, mission completed, reward obtained [Plant Growth Essence]*21, the item has been placed in the system warehouse and can be used at any time."

……

Not bad, two pagoda candies and two bottles of essence in exchange for so much profit.

Chen Yang was quite satisfied.

The hidden danger of the phoenix tree has been eliminated, and what lies before them is still Liu Changqing in the cave.

Liu Henghu was a little depressed.

He had originally planned to let the authorities handle the matter, but he did not expect that Baoguo Temple and the Ganshan Association knew that he was in Jianfeng Temple and directly entrusted him with full authority to handle the matter.

After kicking the ball back and forth, it was kicked back to him.
