Great Lord: Buddha has mercy on us, evil spirits please stay away

Chapter 4 Do I need to pay protection fees to enter the Guardian Land?

Moving forward along the way, Ye Kong strolled leisurely with the lion dog, following behind the two women; holding the telescope, he turned around and observed the terrain.

Wen Qingxuan took out a map from the mustard bracelet and gave it to Xiuling. She walked in the middle, secretly guarding against someone behind her. The formation of the three of them looked a little strange.

"Looking at Miss Xiuling, it seems that she is not very familiar with the route. Miss Wen, is this your first time to the Guardian Land?"

After discovering that Xiu Ling had a kind of ignorant beauty when she was looking for directions on a map, Ye Kong began to doubt the professional level of the two.

He wouldn't spend money to hire two inexperienced and second-rate tour guides, would he?
"It is indeed our first time to go to the Guardian Land, but don't worry, we will definitely bring you to the Guardian Land after we collect your spirit."

Wen Qingxuan did not shy away from mentioning her blank work experience. Instead, she took out a two-foot square map from her storage bag and spread it out in front of Ye Kong, causing Ye Kong's eyelids to twitch.

Did you buy this map wholesale? It doesn't look high-end at all.

"This is the map my elders gave me before I entered the Spiritual Road. Just follow it. Even if we can't find it, someone will take us there in time."

Well, as expected of a favored daughter of the Wen family in the Northern Territory, everything necessary for the trip has been prepared for her.

But it's no wonder, unlike those second-generation sponsors in the entertainment industry in the previous life who had all kinds of looks and indescribable acting skills; although Wen Qingxuan's talent and strength were just mediocre, she was also the strongest among the students of Wanhuang Spiritual Academy this year.

Moreover, it is a blessing for Wanhuang Lingyuan that the core descendants of the dignified Tian Zhizun family come to practice in a novice village like Wanhuang Lingyuan. How many people want to have this blessing but don't have the way to do it!
"You are quite powerful, and the Jialan Temple was once a great power in the universe that produced the Supreme Heavenly Master. Although it has declined now, its foundation is still there."

"The lay disciples of the Buddhist sect who can come out to train are always top-notch geniuses. How come you don't even recognize the road? Haven't your elders ever come into contact with the top leaders of the five major academies?"

After showing off his own identity and background, Wen Qingxuan turned around and began to inquire about Ye Kong's background. His tone was casual, as if he was just asking casually.

Sure enough, she caught a glimpse of unnaturalness on Ye Kong's face, and a hint of teasing flashed in his slightly narrowed phoenix eyes.

It seems that this little monk is really stupid and easy to deceive. Should I try to fool him again? Maybe I can trick him into giving me a free thug?
"Ahem, my elders said something to me and then sent me to the Spiritual Path. I guess they didn't even say hello to the Five Great Courtyards."

"But the Buddha said that Buddhist disciples of our generation should have a firm mind, cultivate ourselves during the secular experience, and open up a new world. We must know that the roads in the world are made by people, so there is no need to stick to the existing roads. It is not strange if we cannot recognize them. Amitabha!"

Ye Kong put his more than ten years of spiritual cultivation to use, controlling himself from laughing, his face extremely serious.

"Well~ Now that you say that, I really believe that you came from a Buddhist temple. No normal person can act as stupid as you."

Wen Qingxuan's long eyelashes curled up slightly, her eyes were almost narrowed into two crescent moons, her charming face as beautiful as a peach was full of smiles, and her slender shoulders kept shaking.

I couldn't help it, I really couldn't help it. It was the first time I saw someone describe being directionally challenged in such a refreshing and refined way.

"Miss Wen, I am serious, not stupid."

Ye Kong felt helpless. If it weren't for that bald monk Shi Luo who must be watching me outside, do you think I want to pretend to be such a fool?
I just didn't want him to catch me and tell on me, as I still have to stay in Daling Mountain in the future.

Clearing his throat, Ye Kong began to change the subject.

"By the way, Miss Wen, is there anything we should be careful about in the Guarded Land? Will there be any bad behavior of collecting protection money?"

"There have been quite a few in the past, but it doesn't matter. Would an expert like you be afraid of this?"

"Of course not." "Then what are you worried about?"

"If no one comes to collect my protection fee, I have no reason to collect their protection fee. I, a Buddhist disciple, don't like to take the initiative to cause trouble."

When Wen Qingxuan heard this, she turned around abruptly and saw Ye Kong making a Buddhist gesture with his hands. His natural face had regular features and his brows were full of compassion, making him look like a young monk.

The look of this gentlemanly villain startled her so much that her beautiful eyes suddenly widened and her steps paused.

This must be a shady monk, right? Are all Buddhist disciples so wild now? Or is she too ignorant? Are all Buddhist disciples actually playing this way?

"Today, I met Master Shi Luo. I finally realized that the warnings from my elders were true. It is true that men in this world can always appear righteous even if they have done bad things."

"Amitabha, my goal is to do good deeds and convert evil spirits. It's just that I am very greedy. Miss Wen, you have a deep misunderstanding of men in this world. This is wrong."

"Heh~ You are honest, do you still like to catch bad guys to listen to your sermons on Buddhism?"

Wen Qingxuan crossed her arms across her chest and looked at Ye Kong, who had a serious expression on his face, with interest.

"I am not well versed in Buddhism, so how dare I randomly grab people to preach? I will just talk to those who are predestined with me. For those who are not predestined with me, I will send them to see the Buddha. Wouldn't it be better to let them listen to the sutra under the Buddha's seat?"

Ye Kong ignored Wen Qingxuan's contemptuous expression of "as expected", raised his eyes to look at her face, and said calmly:

"Miss Wen has such a deep misunderstanding of men that I really want to believe that Miss Wen is from the Hepo lineage of the Wen family. I have long heard that many women in your lineage do not like men but women. After seeing you today, I can see that your reputation is well-deserved."

"How did you know?"

When her background was exposed, Wen Qingxuan became alert instinctively. Her slender willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed, a chill flashed in her phoenix eyes, and her temperament quickly became icy. She held the golden spear horizontally in her right hand, and her fighting spirit rose.

"It's nothing strange. Some forces in the world with intelligence capabilities know that your Wen family is behind Wanhuang Spiritual Academy. Miss Wen, you are so wary of men, it's hard not to associate it with the rumors about your Wen family."

Waving his sleeve to brush away the golden spear, Ye Kong glanced at the guardian land whose outline he could already see, and clasped his fists to say goodbye to Wen Qingxuan who was retreating and Xiu Ling who came to be alert.

"Thank you very much for leading me to the protected place. I hope that next time I get lost, I will meet you two girls and you can lead me again. The guide fee is absolutely fair. We will meet again in the future."

After saying that, Ye Kong used his divine power to disappear with Master Jin Jiu who was walking along the way.

"Sister Qingxuan, are you okay?"

Xiuling, who looked delicate, supported Wen Qingxuan and asked with concern.

"It's okay. That guy didn't really attack me. I just pushed him away. I didn't expect him to be so fast."

Wen Qingxuan, who was staggered by Ye Kong's sleeve, brushed the black hair in front of her forehead. Thinking that she tried to spy on others but her identity was seen through, she gritted her teeth in anger.

"But I'd better not meet this person who has a poor sense of direction again, otherwise I will definitely take all his money next time!"
