Chapter 509: First Courtesy, Then Force
"Dear donors!" After a loud shout attracted everyone's attention to him, Ben Chu changed the subject: "Although the Ten Kalama Sea is vast, it has its limits after all, not to mention the teachings of the holy monk Ananda. The news has spread throughout Western Shu Prefecture, and I don’t know how many people are eyeing this opportunity. Therefore, you should try your best to kill the three evils. Whether you can enter Shichahai in the future depends on your performance this time. !”
What Benchu said couldn't be more clear. It's not impossible to enter the Shichahai, but you must obey the orders in the next action of slaying the three evils!
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's originally high enthusiasm dropped a lot.
The names of the Two Saints of Xishu are naturally worth mentioning, but now it is the three of them who come to Longhu Pond. Who knows if there will be any changes in the next battle to slay the three evils?
Those who can hang out in Longhutan are all human spirits, and they are all cunning people. Can An be able to obediently obey the orders of the original and charge into battle?
Spiritual Monk Ben Chu is still a bit young after all!
Unexpectedly, at the next moment, Benchu seemed to understand everyone's thoughts and smiled slightly.
"After the three evil spirits in Longhutan are killed, according to the holy monk's decree, Longhutan will be temporarily closed. Donors who want to go to Zhongzhou, please find another way!"
"This..., doesn't this force us to leave Longhutan?"
"That's right! If we don't go to Zhongzhou, can't we just practice in Longhutan?"
"Hmph! Are the Buddhist disciples too overbearing? Not only do they occupy the Shichahai, which has the most abundant aura in Western Shu State, but they also want to seal off the Dragon Tiger Pond and make it a forbidden area for you?"
Although Dragon Tiger Pond is dangerous, it is full of spiritual materials, teeming with monsters and beasts, and is extremely rich in all kinds of cultivation resources. Even the spiritual energy is quite rich. It is truly a treasure land for cultivation.
Because of this, everyone was filled with indignation and continued to protest.
"Everyone! The three of us are just the outposts of this trip. The elders of the master will be here soon. If you have any arguments, you might as well prepare them."
Ben Chu said the last words calmly. After saying this, Ben Chu nodded slightly towards Hua Mancheng and Xiao Mian, then turned and left without looking at the crowd.
For a moment, the entire station was silent.
It should be noted that the spiritual monk was already a quasi-Nascent Soul monk at first, and he was only one step away from the Yuanying ancestor. Who could he be respectfully called the elder of his master?
Isn’t this the real deal—Nascent Soul Ancestor!
Obviously, originally this was to be polite before fighting!
But for the cunning monks present, the original strategy was very effective.
As soon as they heard that a great Buddhist monk would come to Longhutan in the near future, many Jindan monks immediately became obedient. After settling down a little, many monks began to walk towards the place where Benchu and the other three were meditating. Some of them worshiped, some asked for permission, some made suggestions, and some expressed their determination. The three of them were almost overwhelmed by the Jindan monks. …
Hua Mancheng, Xiao Mian, and Gui Hai stood in the distance, thoughtfully.
"Brother Hua, are you here to conquer demons too?"
"This..., so be it!"
"What are the so-called three evils of Longhutan?"
"One of the three evils in Dragon Tiger Pond is the ten thousand-year-old grass-headed miasma mother, and its toxicity is second. What is rare is that a trace of spirituality has been born inside. If we can capture it, although the miasma mother's toxicity cannot make medicine , but it is also extremely useful. It is said that some Yuan Ying ancestors who refine poison skills are in great need of this kind of spiritual poison!" Hua Mancheng's words made Xiao Mian's heart move slightly, but he heard him continue: "Longhu. The second most dangerous thing about the pond is the thousands of piranhas that fill the Longhu Lake, maybe even more than tens of thousands!"
"Piranha? It seems like nothing more than that..."
"Brother Xiao, don't underestimate those monsters! You must know that piranhas become spirits in a hundred years and monsters in a thousand years. Last time you repelled the siege of those piranhas, you should have seen a very big piranha, right? That is the thousand-year-old piranha. Piranha monster! Ordinary piranhas naturally cannot pose any threat to you and me, but the thousand-year-old piranha is enough for you and me to be on guard. Just imagine if there are swarms of piranhas of this level, would Brother Xiao still dare to take it lightly? Even the ancestor of Nascent Soul can only avoid his peak for the time being!"
"That's it! But I don't know what the third most dangerous thing in Longhutan is?"
"……,have no idea!"
Xiao Mian couldn't help but be startled by Hua Mancheng's words. Although Ji Wuchang had said in the previous episode that he didn't know what the last evil in Longhutan was, Xiao Mian always thought it was because the other party couldn't explain what he said. He didn't expect that Hua Mancheng would now even Chengdu didn't know the last evil in Longhutan.
It should be noted that Hua Mancheng would not tell Xiao Mian this when he was full. The reason why he did this was just because he liked the strength of Xiao Mian and Gui Hai and wanted to get their help.
Under such circumstances, if Hua Mancheng knew about the third murderer, how could he not say anything about it?
"Brother Xiao! The thousand-year-old grass-headed miasma mother and the piranha are just difficult to deal with. Only this third evil, please be careful... This thing is the most dangerous evil in Longhutan. Things!" Hua Mancheng seemed uneasy at this point and whispered: "Did you hear what the bald donkey said just now? Their elders will be here soon, and they are expected to deal with the dragon. The unknown dangers in Tiger Pond!”
"Brother Hua, aren't there any elders coming from our sect?"
"Hua Mou? Haha... The reason why Hua Mou came to Longhu Pond this time was because he was invited by a friend who was not available for the time being. It was considered a personal travel trip, but there was no elder from the sect to take care of him. two?"
"Brother Hua's friend is the goddess of the Perfect Sect, right?"
"Oh! I'm so ashamed that Brother Xiao heard it! I'm so ashamed!"
"A beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman, why should you feel ashamed? If Brother Hua doesn't fall in love with a beautiful lady, wouldn't you be living up to your reputation as a passionate gentleman?" Hua Mancheng was speechless, and Xiao Mian said, "In that case, we can get closer!"
"It should be so!" Hua Mancheng glanced at Ji Wuchang inadvertently, and said hesitantly, "Brother Xiao, you still need to be careful of Ji Wuchang!"
"Ji Wuchang? What? Brother Hua knows this person?"
"That's not the case! It's just... maybe I'm worrying too much!" Frowning, Hua Mancheng smiled casually, "But with Brother Xiao's cultivation, as long as you are careful, I don't think Ji Wuchang will make any big waves. I wish us a happy cooperation!"
At that moment, the two looked at each other and laughed.
Now Benchu is powerful, Hua Mancheng is weak, Xiao Mian and Gui Hai are weak, and both of them are not used to Benchu's tough style, so they naturally understand and hit it off.
Of course, this kind of cooperative relationship is just as unreasonable as it was when it was established, and it is unreasonable to destroy it. Any small grudge may destroy it.
Hua Mancheng and Xiao Mian are naturally aware of this.
Looking back, Xiao Mian glanced at Ji Wuchang from a distance.
It happened that Ji Wuchang was also looking at Xiao Mian with a sinister look, and Xiao Mian grinned.
Just like Hua Mancheng said, it would be fine if Ji Wuchang didn't come to provoke Xiao Mian, but if he really came to the door without a clear mind, Xiao Mian would not mind teaching him a lesson!
After that, under Benchu's plan, the Jindan monks in the garrison were asked to spread the news that Benchu had announced before. After all, not every monk would return to the garrison on time. Many monks would leave for ten days or half a month after bringing enough elixirs. Of course, some who were unlucky would never return...
After three days, more and more monks stayed in the garrison.
I don't know who initiated it, but these monks took the opportunity to hold a temporary trade fair. Unlike the trade fairs in the outside world, this time it was all barter.
It should be noted that these Jindan monks, who were mixed in Longhutan, must have some special spiritual materials that were not available in the outside world as long as they were not dead. Trading with each other was deeply in line with the hearts of the public. For a time, the trade fair was colorful and treasures appeared frequently.
Xiao Mian was jealous of the many spiritual materials that appeared at the trade fair.
However, although Xiao Mian now has a lot of spiritual stones, the trade will clearly stipulate that it is bartering, not exchanging spiritual stones; secondly, even if there is no such rule, Xiao Mian dare not easily show his wealth in front of everyone - it should be noted that among all the Jindan cultivators present, most of them are high-level Jindan cultivators, and there are very few Jindan mid-level cultivators. Wouldn't it be jealous to show off his wealth?
Although Xiao Mian's combat power is not much worse than that of ordinary Jindan top-level cultivators, others don't know it! There are always some greedy people who will be ready to move because they despise Xiao Mian's superficial Jindan mid-level cultivation, not to mention that Xiao Mian's wealth is so rich?
As the saying goes, you don't worry about thieves stealing, but you worry about thieves thinking about it.
Fortunately, Xiao Mian still has a lot of messy things on him. After several twists and turns, he has obtained a lot of things he likes.
Perhaps influenced by the ghost head, Xiao Mian always has an almost obsessive possessive desire for some strange things whose origins or sources are unknown.
For example, the milky white jade pendant that Jingchu gave him, and the black round stone that Guihai used as wine money, were all treasured by Xiao Mian and collected in the white jade flying pendant. Not only because these things might be of great use in the future, but also because they were the witnesses of his interactions with Jingchu, Guihai and others. Of course, the most important thing was that Xiao Mian had an inexplicable fantasy about these ancient objects because of the previous incident with the Milky Way Star Sand.
Unfortunately, Xiao Mian was not a ghost after all, and did not have the other party's long and almost perverted experience. With his experience, most of the ancient objects he got were just toys.
As a result, those who were still paying attention to Xiao Mian, a mid-level Jindan cultivator, laughed and regarded him as a rookie. Just ask, what treasures can such a junior who does not distinguish between good and bad have that they can look at?
Under Xiao Mian's deliberate foolishness, most people gave up the idea of causing trouble for Xiao Mian. After all, with Benchu and the other three monks present, it would be unwise to confront the three Buddhist monks head-on for Xiao Mian, who had no money at all!
Of course, not everyone gave up this idea.
For example, Ji Wuchang, Lao Gui...
