Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 148 Zhuang Buran: He has grasped the essence of the art of acting!
Outside Dongguo Town.

The young man with the gun on his back lazily said to the girl in red beside him:

"I heard that the eldest son of the You family attracted a female ghost in an abandoned temple called Lanruo Temple."

"It is unknown whether it is a ghost or a demon, which made it take the abandoned Lanruo Temple as its lair."

As he spoke, he applied two talismans to himself and another to Yan Hongye's shoulder:
“Junior sister, you know my Taoist magic is not good enough, so I can only use an invisibility talisman to keep watch for you. In addition, there is a mind-reading talisman that can transmit sound over long distances, so if I encounter danger, you can come to my rescue in time.”

Yan Hongye sighed inexplicably:
"As expected of you, I thought you wanted to show off your skills, use the invisibility talisman to sneak into Lanruo Temple to investigate the situation, and then use the mind-reading talisman to cooperate with me from the inside."

"Junior sister, there's an old saying that goes something like this," Zhuang Buran said with a smile.

"Use your hands to hold the bowls that are big enough, and do the things that are within your capabilities."

"Therefore, the most important thing in life is to have self-awareness. Even if the sky is about to fall, there will always be someone taller to hold it up."

Yan Hongye was speechless. She rolled her eyes at the lazy young man with a gun beside her and then ignored him.

After a stick of incense.

The two arrived at the outside of a desolate and eerie abandoned temple.

“Demons and ghosts usually dare not show themselves during the day. At night, they become their natural domain, and their whereabouts become even more mysterious. It seems that I will not be able to get back in time, and I don’t know how many days I will be delayed.” Zhuang Buran shook his head.

Yan Hongye's lips curled slightly:
"If you want to go back sooner, you might as well pretend to be a young swordsman wandering the world tonight."

She looked at it carefully and nodded:

"Actually, there's no need to dress up specially. Your clothes and appearance already give you the air of a young swordsman who has mastered martial arts, with a slight touch of a noble young master's temperament."

"Whether it's a female ghost or a fairy, besides liking some weak scholars, they also have a fondness for rich young men, not to mention young men who are both literate and martial."

Are you really my junior sister?

Zhuang Buran began to look around:
"Where has my quiet, aloof, understanding, and kind junior sister gone?!"

"Hehe, it's decided then. You'll stay at Lanruo Temple tonight."

Yan Hongye deliberately mimicked someone's tone of voice and turned away with light steps.

The young man with the gun followed closely behind:

"Junior sister, it's still early anyway, why don't we go back first, have dinner, and then come back?"

The girl in red paused, then suddenly leaped up, leaving behind another sentence:
"Don't worry, the ghosts and fairies tonight will definitely give you a good feast, so save your appetite for now."

Zhuang Buran smiled slightly helplessly, and not far from Lanruo Temple, he casually found a relatively secluded big tree, and then lazily and comfortably fell asleep on the branch.

The girl in red, who hadn't gone far, turned around and saw that the young man with the gun had already used an invisibility talisman and was sleeping soundly on a tree branch.

Although I had guessed this beforehand, I still couldn't help but feel a bit angry at their lack of ambition. They were about to face a monster whose background I knew nothing about that night, yet they were still so carefree and relaxed.

I don't know whether to praise him for being carefree, heartless, or certain that he wouldn't stand by and watch someone die.

As Yan Hongye pondered this, a strange light appeared in her clear eyes, and the lazy smile on her lips had a hint of someone else's charm.

Late at night, at Lanruo Temple.

Inside the dilapidated hall, a bonfire burned. A young man carrying a gun poked at the fire with a stick, whispering:
“Junior sister, I have discovered that the demon lurking in Lanruo Temple is not a ghost. There is a dry well in the backyard of the temple, which is filled with demonic energy. You can come and slay the demon.”

Seeing that the Mind-Illuminating Talisman on his body had no effect, he could easily guess what was going on. He raised his eyebrows slightly and a smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, a delicate and beautiful young woman in white suddenly walked into the main hall.

"Young lady, aren't you afraid of encountering some villains coming to this dilapidated temple in the middle of nowhere so late at night?"

"Judging from your appearance, you are clearly a young hero dedicated to punishing evil and upholding justice. I should have no danger to my life." The girl in white smiled.
"My name is Nie Xiaoqian. May I ask your name, young hero, and why you have come to Lanruo Temple to stay?"

The young man with a gun laughed:

"Now that we are alone together in a room, the young lady should not say that she is sleepless on this moonlit night and wishes to have a harmonious marriage."

The girl in white was taken aback, then angrily shouted:

"You lecher!" "I can tell you're not human at first glance. You're just a little fox with only two or three hundred years of cultivation, yet you dare to play tricks on me."

Zhuang Buran's face showed a mocking expression:
"Bold monster, I want you to show your true colors!"

The two-headed gun, which had split in two, rejoined in mid-air and pierced through the white-clad girl's head with the force of lightning, pinning it to the wall behind her.

A flash of light, and the white-clad girl nailed to the wall turned into a fox corpse, followed by a blue bead falling to the ground.

Zhuang Buran raised his hand and made the double-headed spear magically shake off the bloodstains from its tip and return to his side, while the blue bead on the ground also landed in his hand.

He fiddled with the round bead in his hand, muttering to himself:

"Wouldn't this be considered returning something to its rightful owner?"

Suddenly, the demonic aura of Lanruo Temple intensified, spreading to all corners and instantly transforming the dilapidated temple into a courtyard brimming with the scent of rouge.

A slight smile appeared on Zhuang Buran's face. He placed the blue bead into the cloth bag at his waist, gripped the spear beside him, and spoke to the Mind-Illuminating Talisman affixed to his collar:

"Junior sister, help!"

"I used all my strength to kill a little demon, and now you outside are probably also sensing this demonic aura."

"This is a thousand-year-old demon. Even if I cultivate my Dao techniques to the Purple Talisman Realm, I have little chance of winning!"

"If you don't come soon, you may never see me again."

At this moment, a bewitching and alluring woman in red, leading a group of female demons, appeared in front of the young man with the gun.

"Xiaoqian!"

One of the female demons, a snow demon, saw the fox corpse and couldn't help but cry out in sorrow.

"I finally found such a charming and lovely maid who could easily seduce those lecherous men, and you actually killed her."

Meiji stared coldly at the young man with the gun:

"What a familiar scent. I can tell from the repulsive aura emanating from you that you are a member of the Xuanxin Sect. It's a pity that your cultivation level seems to be lacking."

"I am a disciple of the Xuanxin Sect, the chief disciple of Master Lingfeng, and the last disciple of the grandmaster Yan Chixia."

Zhuang Buran held his gun protectively in front of his chest and said:
"You fiend, if you dare to harm me in the slightest, my master and my grandmaster will surely grind you to dust!"

These words shocked the group of ignorant female demons, who trembled in fear.

Only Meiji kept laughing:

“Even Yan Chixia has abandoned his sword and gone into seclusion for almost twenty years. He has even become a traitor to the sect, hunted down by the Xuanxin Orthodox Sect. And that little guy Lingfeng should be too old to walk by now. You’re using them to threaten me.”

The young man with the gun burst into laughter:

"Hahaha, I didn't fool you. As expected of an immortal who has lived for over a thousand years, you are probably not some wild monster. You are most likely from the Yin Moon Dynasty."

"Unfortunately, the current national advisor, Jin Guang, the sect leader of the Xuanxin Orthodox Sect, is my master."

"If you have the guts, then kill me. From then on, you will have nowhere to stand in this world, and all that awaits you will be endless pursuit!"

"Do you think I'd believe that?" Meiji narrowed her eyes slightly.

The armed youth retorted defiantly:

"Ever since the great war between good and evil nineteen years ago, when the Six Paths Demon Lord was killed by Yan Chixia, the Yin Moon Dynasty has forbidden its demons from coming to the human world without permission."

“Since you have ignored the ban of the Yin Yue Dynasty, you must have established your own faction.”

"If you dare to kill me, you will have no way out."

As he spoke, he walked step by step to Meiji and poked his head out:

"Come on, here's your fine head. If you're so capable, take it."

"When the time comes, I will be in the underworld to see how you, this monster who betrayed the Yin Yue Dynasty and killed the beloved disciple of the Xuan Xin Zheng Zong sect leader, will be chased to the ends of the earth and suffer a miserable fate of being annihilated in both body and soul."
