Chapter 81 The Beautiful Snake Running at Night (Please Subscribe)

The temple was somewhat old and dilapidated. The abbot was a thin, short monk, who was accompanied by several clever young monks in their late teens and early twenties.

The courtyard was quite large. Luo Cheng had someone pay for their lodging. Since they had brought their own food and it wasn't safe to travel, they didn't ask the temple to prepare food for them, but simply borrowed the kitchen.

After the meal, Luo Zhuluan moved into the west wing guest room and rested early.

Yu Chi Nan then approached Luo Cheng and whispered, "Young master, although we are staying here, we still need to leave someone to keep watch at night."

"The abbot here is too thin; he's probably not an ordinary monk."

Luo Cheng said, "This temple doesn't seem to have many worshippers. It's not like it has much money to burn, so it's normal for it to be thin."

Yu Chi Nan said, "No! Normal monks, because they eat vegetarian food, are often bloated and plump, and are more likely to grow fat heads and big ears."

"He's so thin but not weak, he obviously doesn't lack meat on a daily basis, and he's also quite physically fit. He might even have some martial arts training. He's no ordinary monk."

Luo Cheng laughed and said, "That's fine. We'll seal off the gate from the inside, and the rest of you can rest while the three of us take turns guarding it."

"If they really dare to come and steal at night, I guarantee they won't come back alive, and the whole temple will be gone."

Yu Chi Nan smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not worried at all. I was just giving you a little reminder."

They are highly skilled and daring. Besides, these days, when you're traveling, even if there's nothing wrong with the temple, it's always better to be careful.

On the other side, Luo Zhuluan lived alone in the west wing.

She opened the window and looked up at the moon.

The moon is quite full tonight, as if it wants to bring happiness to the world.

Looking back, she had spent many nights nestled in her husband's arms, enjoying the beauty of flowers and the moon.

A sweet, sugary feeling welled up inside me, a slight smile played on my lips, yet a pang of heartache lingered beneath.

"Miss!" A maid came over. "It's getting late, you should get some rest."

Luo Zhuluan nodded slightly.

The maidservant closed the window for her, helped her to bed, and left a candle burning on the table.

Once the maid was resting in the outer room, Luo Zhuluan gracefully rose, went outside, and gently tapped the maid's pressure point, preventing her from waking up during the night.

If the maid gets up at night to cover her with a blanket and finds her missing, and makes a big fuss about it, then there will be trouble.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Zhuwan floated back to her room and opened the window again to look outside.

Temples have been used as inns throughout history, and this one was designed specifically for women, with its own private courtyard.

She took off her clothes, stuffed them into the quilt, then stuffed the pillow in as well, and covered herself with the quilt.

At first glance, I still look like I'm asleep inside.

Then, in a flash, it transformed into a fair and translucent white snake, about two feet and three inches long.

The white snake emerged from the crisscrossing window panes and leaped onto the high wall.

She glanced back, then rode a cool night breeze and flew away into the distance, leaving the temple and swiftly traversing the mountains and fields to find her beloved.

Not long after she left, another group of people entered the temple under the moonlight.

A clever young monk, around ten years old, opened the door and, seeing the tall, thin man and the burly man at the head of the group, smiled and said, "So it's Master Li and Master Qi. Please come in."

"Our master said long ago that the two of you would probably arrive soon. After you arrive, please stay here and let him know. He will then travel to Jeju with you."

These two men were none other than Li Rugui and Qi Guoyuan, the two chieftains of Shaohua Mountain.

Li Rugui asked, "Isn't your family head here?"

The young monk said, "It should arrive soon."

"7

As Li Rugui and Qi Guoyuan entered the courtyard, the lean abbot came out to greet them.

Li Rugui, with his sharp eyes, suddenly noticed several familiar carriages parked in the courtyard and couldn't help but ask, "Who's staying here tonight?"

The abbot whispered, "It's a young man dressed in brocade robes, who seems to come from a good family, and he's with a young lady."

Two martial artists, followed by a group of guards.

"They seem to have loaded their truck with some good stuff. The truck is left here, and the boxes inside are going to be moved to the yard to be kept under guard."

Li Rugui said happily, "That's it! I didn't expect that group of people would also move in here. It really was all so easy."

The abbot lowered his voice: "Do they have a grudge against the two of you?"

"It's more than just a grudge!" Li Rugui gritted his teeth. "That guy even stole the precious pearl we were going to use as a congratulatory gift last night."

The abbot laughed and said, "The two leaders are goose hunters themselves, but they never expected to be pecked by geese."

"Don't worry, I see they've packed a lot of good stuff. We'll call more people over, not only to avenge you, but also to take the good goods they brought."

He turned and summoned two young monks, instructing them to go outside the mountain and inform more brothers.

Qi Guoyuan said, "That guy is skilled in martial arts. We probably can't handle him on our own. We need not only a lot of people, but also a lot of good men."

"Didn't we run into You Junda and his new partner named Cheng Yaojin up ahead? I heard that his new partner is also very skilled in martial arts."

"I even suspect that the two who robbed the imperial convoy from the two bodyguards of the Prince of Kao Shan a while ago were probably the ones who did it. They have the ability to defeat the bodyguards under the Prince of Kao Shan, so it was just a good idea to call them over and share the spoils with everyone."

Li Rugui exclaimed happily, "That's a great idea! I heard they're waiting for heroes from other mountain strongholds. If they've already arrived, we can invite them all together and have a few more helpers."

He hurriedly sent someone who knew You Junda to invite You Junda and Cheng Yaojin, while the others quietly kept quiet and made preparations.

From the shadows, Luo Cheng had already heard their movements.

He, Yuchi Nan, and Yuchi Bei took turns keeping watch at night. Before Yuchi Nan could relieve him, Li Rugui and Qi Guoyuan's group entered.

He was secretly startled: "This temple itself is not a good thing, and it belongs to some mountain, which is fine."

"This mountain group knows Shaohua Mountain, and there's also You Junda and Cheng Yaojin who robbed the imperial convoy. Are there other bandits from other mountains with You Junda and Cheng Yaojin?"

He was confident in his martial arts skills, believing himself to be unmatched in the world, but this was not just a case of entering a den of thieves, it was practically a den of wolves.

Even if you are unharmed, if a chaotic battle breaks out at night, others will inevitably suffer injuries.

So he quickly went to inform Yuchi Nan and Yuchi Bei.

Yu Chi Nan and Yu Chi Bei were also startled. Why were all the bandit leaders from various mountains and strongholds converging on this road?

Yu Chi Nan said, "Young master! The best course of action now is to quietly wake everyone up."

"Before the arrival of the bandit leader behind the temple, along with You Junda, Cheng Yaojin, and their accomplices, they broke out of the mountains and rushed to Jeju Prefecture overnight."

Luo Cheng said, "You all wake up the others first, I'll go wake up my sister."

Walk towards the room where my sister lives!
