Headless Immortal

Chapter 85 The Tacit Understanding Among the Three Families

Cats can go beyond the realm of the divine and even perform supernatural feats.

【on foot】

Effect: Slightly increases leg distance (2%)

Although it seems like a pitifully small amount, it did indeed improve his agility.

In a battle between masters, even the slightest improvement is enormous. Now, his ability to shatter mountains with magic is unparalleled, and he has gained the supernatural power of 'superhuman strength,' which slightly increases his own strength.

Lu Xun got up and walked to a pine tree with branches that stretched out in all directions, forming a canopy, and turning yellow with autumn colors. It was about four zhang long and about one zhu in diameter.

He circulated his muscles and bones and mobilized his magical power.

Collapse of mountains.

The cold, crisp, and powerful ape-shaped fist slammed into the tree trunk with a 'bang'.

The tree shook violently, and its upper half flew off with a thud, crashing heavily to the ground, leaving a jagged gash on the trunk.

Collapse of mountains!

A spark of inspiration gathered at the tip of his fingertip and struck the neighboring pine tree with a whoosh. With a thud, the light pierced the trunk, creating a hole.

The white-haired, white-bodied monster grinned and laughed.

Both applications of the spell "Mountain Collapse" have been greatly enhanced.

If he encounters Qinglin Ni Guai again, he will definitely twist his head off.

After practicing the Ape Form Fist twice to relax his blood and qi, Lu Xun estimated that they had finished their conversation.

Replace it with a three-legged old cat head.

Toothless grabbed the black cat and flew into the sky, arriving at the side hall in no time.

No one would notice a cat's tracks, and even if they saw a black cat leaving the government office, they wouldn't suspect anything.

Lu Xun jumped back into its nest on the pouch, squinted its golden eyes, twitched its whiskers, and let its thick tail sway back and forth. It rolled over and lay flat on its back, its paws under its head, enjoying a moment of leisure.

Grey Cat could clearly sense Black Cat's pleasure.

Although it didn't understand, it still tried its best to sniff and shook its head.

There are no treasures.

……

"What would you like to say, Master?"

Qian Xiong picked up his teacup and took a sip. After recounting so many cases, his tongue was terribly dry, and he also wanted to hear what the three families thought.

Master Jueming stood up. He was about five feet seven inches tall and very upright. He had a long face with a five-strand beard, a pair of kind and thick eyebrows with bright eyes, and two large ears that almost reached his shoulders. His gaze moved and landed on the face of Master Chen of the Lushan Sect, then looked at the Confucian scholars of Bailudong Academy, and said with a smile, "To join forces?"

Yang Shen clasped his hands in a salute and said, "That is indeed my wish, but I dare not ask."

"good!"

Master Chen also stood up and said calmly, "Let's deal with the monster first."

Li Song glanced at the situation before him, pursed his lips, and frowned, saying, "The three families' noble character is admirable, but the land deed for Qingquan Temple cannot be a muddled mess."

Although he was a local, he couldn't go against the three families. If the monster was caught, he wouldn't even get a share of the soup. How could anyone believe him?

It's better to be the villain who exposes the tacit agreement among the three parties.

"good."

Old temple keeper Huang Mu tapped his pipe, revealing a mouthful of black teeth: "I also want to buy Qingquan Temple. My master needs to move to a bigger temple."

Cheng Yan looked over and vaguely remembered the shape of the old temple: narrow, cramped, and dark, but it was very popular with worshippers and must have made a lot of money over the years.

I never expected the Seventh Master to have such a plan.

Instead of saving money for his own coffin, he wanted to buy a bigger temple for the owner of the old one.

“The old woman isn’t interested in the land deed for Qingquan Temple, but her grandson needs money for his wedding. Two hundred taels of silver, this old woman is determined to get it.” Aunt Zheng, with her yellow teeth, spoke with a confident tone. She wore a dark blue jacket and her every move was steady and powerful: “Cooperation, fine, let’s make a deal.”

"I don't want the silver or the land deed."

The swordsman in the felt hat raised his head slightly, revealing a pair of sharp, cold eyes, and said coldly, "I want to kill monsters!"

Oops.

Such a murderous aura.

The swordsman was aloof and did not know his name. He carried nothing but his sword, which he held tightly to as if it were his lifeblood.

Master Jueming calmly said, “Distribute according to contribution, treating everyone equally. As for the land deeds, the highest bidder gets them, how about that?”

Li Song immediately understood, and knowingly asked, "Master, do you mean that all of us are qualified to purchase Qingquan Temple?" "That's right."

This is already the fairest solution.

"it is good!"

The group reached an agreement.

Qian Xiong turned his head and glanced at the sun that had covered the eaves: "The magistrate has ordered the county government's kitchen to prepare a banquet. We hope you will all do us the honor of attending."

The kitchen wasn't far away, and Master Lü had indeed given the order well in advance.

Before everyone had even sat down, eight cold dishes were served, followed shortly by eight hot dishes, half meat and half vegetables. The wine jugs containing strong liquor and the other wines were also served separately, and a constable was waiting beside them.

Another table was prepared not far away specifically for the young monks and Taoist priests. Cheng Yan led Uncle Cat and Gray Treasure to sit at this table.

Lu Xun looked around and realized, "Fine, I'm going to sit at the kids' table."

No matter which table you're at, you still have to eat.

I ordered two new sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Cheng Yan picked up some food from the table and added it to his bowl.

Grey Treasure strictly followed the rules and refused to make a move. Old Cat, however, was not interested; he had just eaten a grilled fish and was not hungry.

Cats are animals that eat very little, so to let them eat their fill would require the help of the Five-Tong Mountain Tiger. If the Five-Tong Mountain Tiger were to actually appear, wouldn't that be too shocking?

"what happened?"

Cheng Yan looked at the young Taoist priest who kept casting glances at him.

The young Taoist priest, somewhat surprised, said, "Your big black cat looks very familiar."

"Oh?"

Cheng Yan immediately became interested.

"picture."

After a careful examination, the young Taoist priest nodded slightly: "Last year, when my master and I passed through Meilan County, we saw a large black cat that looked just like him."

"What is your cat's name, benefactor?"

The young Taoist priest spoke of his own situation before asking any questions.

He was picked up by his master. His original name didn't matter. Now he's called Chunlei.

The man next to him, who was much older and looked thinner, was his senior brother, whose Taoist name was 'Dongsheng'.

Dong Sheng looked to be about the same age as Cheng Yan. His messy hair was tied into a Taoist bun, his cheeks were sunken, and he was dark and thin. Although his eyes were small, they were full of energy. He seemed a bit taciturn. He only bowed when his junior brother introduced him and picked up his rice bowl without saying much.

"You're asking Uncle Cat..." Cheng Yan couldn't think of it for a moment, but after a moment of thought, he remembered and said, "Three-legged."

Chunlei pressed further: "Three-legged kung fu?"

"Correct."

"No doubt about it, this is it."

"That year, my master and I were at Master Song's house..."

Chunlei recounted what happened last year, and said with a touch of emotion, "I never thought we'd meet again."

Lu Xun, the black cat, twitched his lips. That's the downside of acquaintances; it's easy for their secrets to be exposed.

"Oh." There was no surprise in Cheng Yan's eyes; on the contrary, a barely perceptible hint of smugness flashed across his face.

Uncle Cat is three-legged, but he's definitely more than just three-legged, just like Uncle Cat is also the Lord of Wutong Mountain.

What the young Taoist priest said was nothing surprising to him, as he knew far more than the young Taoist priest.

"Let's eat."

At the same time, Cheng Yan had doubts in his heart. If it takes a lot of effort to deal with a fox spirit, can this Taoist priest handle such a powerful monster?

He subtly inquired about it during the meal.

Chunlei immediately protested, "Last time, it was complicated because my master didn't bring any troops. This time, all the troops are here..."

"cough."

Senior Brother Dongsheng coughed lightly and nudged Junior Brother with his elbow.

"Just watch it."

The spring thunder stopped the conversation.
