One Punch Monk

Chapter 33 Master Lu
Taiping County is the southernmost county of Chang'an Prefecture.

Further south, after passing Zhongnan Mountain, you will find the vast Qinling Mountains where countless monsters and ghosts are harbored.

Generally speaking, summer is cooler than that of neighboring Lantian County.

Of course, the so-called "hot jade in Lantian produces smoke" has nothing to do with the summer temperature. It doesn't mean that all the hot jade in Lantian smokes.

Under the eaves, Shen Budu was patiently listening to the old beggar, stretching out his only remaining finger, bragging about how he went to Lantian to gamble on jade, how he begged for wealth and danger, and opened a beggar from a pile of rotten stones. Top grade spirit crystal.

After listening to it, the old beggar who still couldn't get enough of it finally revealed the information Shen Budu wanted.

"In the workshop over there, go to the eighth house on the right. The old man climbed over the wall and went into the workshop to eat food in the morning. He saw with his own eyes a witch was invited in. It must have something to do with the 'weird incident' you mentioned, little monk. Otherwise, who has nothing to do in the early morning and rushes to his home to invite the witch."

Shen Budu hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't throw two copper coins into the old beggar's broken bowl.

Instead, he turned around and went to the street to buy a warm sesame seed pancake and handed it to him.

The old beggar held it with two fingerless palms like meat balls, and gnawed on the mustache. The sesame seeds fell on the gaps in the black and dirty linen clothes, and he carefully licked them back.

"Little master, you are a kind person. The old man told you that this old master Lu's eldest brother is a serious captain, and the wolf dogs in the yard are also very vicious. Be careful when you go for alms, and don't get bitten!"

"Okay, little monk understands."

Shen Budu turned around and left, this square is a rich area in Taiping County, rich and powerful people gather here.

Facing Fang Ding's interrogation, Shen Budu only said that Master Lu invited him to do the work, and he was allowed to pass, it seems that Lu's house should have ordered in advance.

Entering the workshop, I really saw a different scene.

Compared with the mess on the street, this place is obviously much neater and more orderly. There are two rows of low-hanging willows planted along the street. The leaves on the branches are emerald green, like emeralds, exuding an attractive luster.

The three or two pedestrians on the street shuttled among them, either leisurely, or laughing and cursing, without the slightest sense of philistinism like those street vendors outside. Perhaps only here can we truly realize the so-called class gap.

But Shen Budu didn't feel the slightest embarrassment, but walked calmly in the workshop.

Just kidding, in the extraordinary world, as long as there is great power, what is money?
As he gradually realized the power he possessed, Shen Budu found that his goal at the beginning was still a little conservative.

Now killing demons and demons is not only for making money to improve living conditions and practice conditions, but also to expand the influence of the temple.

More importantly, in the coming new round of heaven and earth catastrophe in the next few years, accumulate enough merits to protect yourself.

Although the master is a mysterious and powerful person, but in the world, it is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others. You should not have a mentality of dependence on others, so you still have to become stronger yourself and work hard to accumulate merit.

Passers-by in the workshop saw that although the young monk was only wearing a plain, starched robe, but his demeanor was aloof and handsome, they couldn't help feeling a little bit of admiration.

"Which monastery is this monk? It looks absolutely extraordinary."

"Isn't it? It looks like the person in the script."

Naturally, Shen Budu was used to the voices of others talking, and he came to the door of the eighth house on the right.

Hey!
There are two white marble lions in front of the door, and a red-lacquered gilt plaque is inlaid on the door.

——Lu Mansion.

Shen Budu stretched out his hand and pushed the knocker of the side door.

The door of this kind of mansion is generally not open.

"Squeak~"

The side door opened in response, and the guard at the door looked at this handsome and slightly dazzling little monk suspiciously.

"Little master, who are you looking for?"

"The monk wants to find Master Lu."

The servant asked dutifully, "Which temple do you belong to? My Master Lu is not something anyone can meet if he wants to."

"The little monk is here to do something for Master Lu."

After finishing speaking, Shen Budu pointed to the inside, and said flatly: "Amitabha, this place is full of ghosts."

Hearing this, the servant was startled, and his attitude towards Shen Budu changed from polite to respectful.

"Wait a moment, Mage, please go and report to the steward."

Master Lu's favorite concubine is a headless ghost. This matter has already been rumored in the mansion, and the people below are discussing it in private.

But no matter what, the family ugliness should not be publicized. If Master Lu issued a password, it is definitely impossible for outsiders to know it in the morning.

And the little monk in front of him explained the mystery in one sentence, how could he not let the gatekeeper be terrified?

From this, Jia Ding even concluded that this is a master of Taoism and must not be offended.

Ask Shen Budu to wait at the porter, and the servant immediately rushed to inform the steward.

Not long after, the steward came.

The steward's life experience is obviously richer, he looked at the little monk suspiciously, and asked.

"Master, I didn't invite you from the Lu Mansion, did I?"

"It is true that the Lu Mansion did not invite a young monk."

"I'm really sorry, we dare not take you in without the master's order."

The butler's words were still very polite, but the meaning of rejection was obviously stronger.

After all, for him, no fault is merit.

Shen Budu was also in a bit of a dilemma, he couldn't get past it.
When he was considering whether to show them something, things suddenly took a turn for the better.

"What are you guys doing here?"

A man who looked like a rich man came over and asked.

"Master!"

The steward hurriedly walked to the rich man's side and whispered to him.

The rich man nodded while listening, and finally looked at Shen Budu, and said with his hands clasped together.

"Master, it's the servant who neglected you, don't mind, come with me."

Shen Budu was a little confused, but he had nothing to be afraid of, after returning the gift, he followed the rich man towards the inner courtyard of the Lu Mansion.

Behind him, the servant asked the steward: "Steward, why does the young master respect him so much? I just think he has an extraordinary bearing. I don't know what the origin of this mage is?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

The steward glanced at him, and the housekeeper was really curious, so he said angrily.

"A few days ago, when the young master went to Zhenwuzong to pay homage to the Taoist ancestor, he saw with his own eyes the feather-clothed Taoist of Zhenwuzong in our county sending him out respectfully, and there was a fairy-like female Taoist next to him, who was also extremely enthusiastic. Which one is the descendant of the immortal sect, Shenlong Temple or Baima Temple? Anyway, no one like us can afford to offend them, and if we see them in the future, we will serve them well, so we may still have some Buddhist karma. Do you know?"

Jia Ding was speechless, as if listening to a story, he couldn't believe it.

The Yuyi Taoist of Zhenwuzong is usually a high-ranking existence, and his personality is also very arrogant. He is a powerful man, and he has been protected by such a fairy sect as Zhenwuzong. Nearly one-tenth of the land in Taiping County belongs to their family. It is one of the largest landowners in Taiping County.

This kind of person is respectful to this handsome and kind little monk in front of him?
What is the identity of the little monk?
