The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 98 95: Agreement, Lord Buddha
An hour later, Taoist Qingjing left. He left cleanly, his back still looking elegant.

Chu Zhou sat where he was, holding the teacup, but he just gently stroked the tea leaves on it with the tea lid, his thoughts drifting away.

Only at this point did Chu Zhou truly understand this person's origins and learn some unknown secrets.

In this world, martial arts are prevalent and are the mainstream, so martial arts sects are naturally everywhere.

But few people know that in addition to martial arts sects, secret arts also have schools, inheritances, and sects.

The Alien Alliance does not count. In the eyes of the real esoteric sects, although that thing is powerful and influential, it is just a gang and is despised by people.

As for the esoteric sects like Chaotian Temple, they firmly believe that they have inherited the ancient mantle, and take it as their mission to practice, improve and optimize the esoteric arts. They have their own inheritance system.

Most of the disciples they trained called themselves extraordinary people, and Taoist Qingjing was one of them.

However, although the secret technique is magical, it does not have a complete system and has many side effects.

Therefore, they have the habit of spreading the secret techniques in order to pool everyone's strength to optimize and improve them.

In the beginning, the reason why Taoist Xuanzhen and Taoist Polan were able to obtain these two secret techniques was due to their design.

It’s a pity that these two are also losers.

The Broken Taoist also provided several novel uses of the Five Ghosts Moving Method, while the Old Taoist Xuanzhen could be said to have followed the rules and accomplished nothing.

But this is also normal!
However, just when Chaotian Temple was about to take back the two secret techniques, they discovered the anomaly Chu Zhou.

A freak who has mastered the secret art of taming ghosts and practicing martial arts has aroused great interest in Chaotian Temple.

So, the Taoist priest Qingjing was sent here.

His goal was clear, to investigate the specific situation, and if there really was an improved version of "Ghost Technique", he had to find a way to obtain it.

Chu Zhou had certainly not expected this origin, and he couldn't just believe whatever Taoist Qingjing said.

But Taoist Qingjing reported the detailed information about Taoist Xuanzhen and Taoist Polan, and knew more than Chu Zhou.

But this is nothing. The most convincing thing is that he recited the specific contents of "The Art of Ghosts" and "The Five Ghosts Moving". It cannot be said that they were almost accurate, but they were word for word.

After observing for such a long time, what Qingjing Laodao has done can be considered as indirect proof.

However, Taoist Qingjing was also unlucky. When he arrived, the stage where Chu Zhou needed to use secret techniques to show off his power had already passed.

Therefore, after such a long time, even the most basic thing, whether Chu Zhou had mastered the "Ghost Art" was not clear!
However, he didn't have an answer, but Chu Zhou told him directly, admitting that he had the "Ghost Technique" with no side effects!
Then, based on this, he reached an agreement with the Taoist Master Qingjing.

That is, Taoist Qingjing will stay in Xuanzhen Temple for a period of time to protect everyone's safety. When he returns from Tianquan County, the improved version of "The Art of Ghost Companions" will be presented to them.

Taoist Qingjing had nothing to say about this condition. He came here for this very reason, so there was no reason for him to disagree.

And Chu Zhou can be said to have prepared a powerful thug for Xuanzhen Temple.

Even though this old Taoist priest was always defeated in front of Chu Zhou, his five senses were extremely sharp. Even the slightest breathing, movement of footsteps, or friction of clothes of the other party could not escape his perception.

If it were someone else, perhaps it would be just as the old Taoist said, even if a congenital warrior came, he would not be able to find any trace of him.

Moreover, the blue butterfly was a skill revealed by the old Taoist, but who said that he only knew this kind of secret skill?

As for the improved version of "Ghost Technique"?
To put it bluntly, although this secret technique saved Chu Zhou's life, he really didn't care about it.

Isn't magic useful?
Isn’t supernatural power great?

What's the use of such an incomplete secret technique?

Therefore, he really didn't feel bad at all to use this secret technique in exchange for an expert to protect the Taoist temple for a period of time.

After a cup of tea, Chu Zhou thought clearly. He did not hesitate and put down the teacup. He murmured: "In this case, the person who will go with me to Tianquan County can be decided."

……

White Sands City,
In a house in Dongcheng.

The fortune teller, who was feeling better, was entertaining a guest. However, when he looked up and saw the visitor, there was an unconcealable surprise in his eyes.

"Hey, why are you here?"

"What you said means that Master Buddha can't come?"

The person who spoke was a wanderer dressed as a monk. He was fat and sleek, with a long beard under his chin, but his head was shaved clean.

The most important thing is that he has nine ordination scars on his head, which shows that he is obviously a monk who has received ordination.

In his hand he held a water-ground Zen staff, one end of which was crescent-shaped and the other end was shovel-shaped. It looked extremely heavy, but he held it in his hand as easily as lifting a branch.

The fortune teller had no intention of arguing with the monk. He asked the boy to serve tea, and then he tried to sit up, and said, "It's not that you can't come, but I didn't expect it would be you who would do it?
Everyone in the Alien Alliance knows that you, a wine-drinking and meat-eating monk, are greedy for money. Without a thousand taels of gold, you won't even open your mouth.

What's more, it's just a revenge for a butler...wait!"

As if he had thought of something, the fortune teller frowned slightly and said, "No, no, you came too fast.

It has only been a few days since I spread this news. Even for someone who has practiced the secret art of "Jia Ma", it would not be possible to spread it so quickly.

So, you are not here for Chu Zhou, you have another purpose?"

“Hahahaha, hahahahaha, you are worthy of being called a fortune teller, your brain is really useful! However, you calculated wrong this time.”

The fat monk seemed very happy to see the fortune teller being humiliated, but his wide-open mouth looked like a bloody mouth, which was very scary.

The fortune teller was not annoyed at all, but asked: "Tell me, what did I say wrong?"

“I came here just for Chu Zhou, but it’s not because of that idiot Tattered Taoist Priest, but because the alliance issued a mission with a huge reward, so I accepted the mission and came here!
But I didn't expect that the death of that shabby Taoist priest was actually related to this person. What a coincidence, what a coincidence!
But, it doesn’t matter, if I do both tasks together, I can get more money, which is good! It’s good!”

The fortune teller was slightly stunned, and said to himself: "This is a mission from the alliance, with a reward of a thousand gold coins, and it has nothing to do with the tattered Taoist priest..." "Master, guess again, who gave this mission?"

"Who else could it be? It must be the Yunya Sword Sect without a doubt.

However, they probably don't value the water-ground Zen stick in your hand, but your ability to chant sutras.

Although Master Chu has not yet revealed his secret technique of controlling ghosts and killing people, he was famous for it before. "

The fortune teller narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had seen through everything. He calculated and said, "The abbot Chu accepted the invitation from Wenxiang Temple and has such a big name. He must have become the target of Yunya Sword Sect to kill chickens and scare monkeys.

They must have sent out experts, but they were wary of the secret technique of controlling ghosts, so they issued a task in the alliance, and then you, a wine-drinking and meat-eating monk, came.

Tell me, am I right?"

The fat monk couldn't laugh anymore. He groaned for a long time and then said, "I hate smart people like you the most. You make me look so stupid.

Then guess what I came to you for?"

"What can I do? Seeing me here, you want to ask for my divination and predict whether this trip will be auspicious or not, right?"

"you are right!"

The fat monk nodded and asked again: "When are you going to help me calculate?"

"It doesn't count!"

"why?"

The fat monk's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he took out the Buddhist beads from somewhere and kept spinning them, saying threateningly: "The Buddha is willing to talk to you nicely, but don't think that the Buddha is easy to talk to!"

"Look at my injury, and then look at my eyes. It's because I looked at the master of Xuanzhen Temple for one more second that I got this.

That person is very weird. In my eyes, he is not worthy of being counted as such. I really don’t think he is worthy of being counted as such.

Therefore, it is useless for you to force me to death. "

"You didn't lie to me?"

The fortune teller swore: "If I lie to you, let me die under your water-milled Zen stick, and my body will not be intact."

"Good! Good! Good!"

The wine-drinking and meat-eating monk groaned for a long time, and finally decided that he had no advantage to gain, so he just picked up his Zen stick and left.

Before leaving, he muttered, "It's useless. If I had known, I wouldn't have come. Really!"

Only after his back completely disappeared did the little boy come out and said in dissatisfaction: "What was the alliance thinking? They actually let this idiot come. It's simply, simply..."

The boy seemed to be at a loss for words, but the fortune teller shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate this monk. He may look stupid, but he is actually very smart.

Most importantly, he had a pure mind and cultivated Buddha power through the "Sutra of the Past Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva".

Even in Huayan Temple, no one was better than him in subduing evil spirits.

only……"

"Just what?"

“I see his forehead is black, I think he is going to meet with a bloody disaster, but in this small Baisha City, there are not many places where this monk can meet with a bloody disaster.

It's hard to say, he might fall into the hands of that 'Law Guardian Spirit Officer'."

After hearing this, the fortune teller hurriedly said, "No, we can't stay here anymore, let's go, leave now!"

……

Time flies, and another three days have passed.

When the weather clears up and the temperature rises a little, it is a good time to set off.

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The horses neighed as they were harnessed to the reins. All the prepared supplies were loaded onto the carriage, and there was quite a bit of them.

In this world, traveling far is not an easy thing. Traveling on a budget with just a bag is simply irresponsible to your own life.

Therefore, everything from tents and candles to pots and pans, from dry food and salt to armor and weapons, from healing medicines to silver and money, had to be prepared.

You might have to sleep in the wilderness, you might run into bandits, you might be lurked by wild beasts...

In this world, ordinary people really cannot travel far, because basically once you go, you can never come back.

Of course, everything that needed to be prepared had been prepared these days, and there was no need for Chu Zhou to intervene. He just called Xu Cheng and Fan Tiehu over and gave them detailed instructions.

That's right, he has decided to bring Yi Huai and Wei Fangjie with him. They are strong and have combat experience, so they can be a help.

As for Xuanzhen Temple, with the Taoist priest Qingjing there, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Chu Zhou told him clearly that if he came back and something bad happened in Xuanzhen Temple, he would have to forget about the improved version of "The Art of Ghost Companions".

When everything was ready, Chu Zhou got into the carriage, and Yi Huai and Wei Fangjie rode on horseback to guard him. A group of four carriages, eleven horses, and nine people had officially set off.

After walking along the official road for half an hour, Chu Zhou heard the sound of hurried horse hooves again. He put down the letter, looked over, and found that it was Wei Jinkui who came on horseback.
