Reborn Jinshan Temple

Chapter 69
The village is not big, because it is close to the frontier, the land is barren, and the people in the village mainly rely on hunting on weekdays, but everyone is very enthusiastic, and specially made a fast meal for Li Yi and his two with the few wild vegetables and coarse grains left .

Naturally, Xuanzang was deeply moved, the monks were all empty, and he didn't have any money to give to these villagers, so he led a group of old men and women to talk about Buddhist scriptures.

His Buddhist attainments have long been outstanding among ordinary people, and soon he has a large group of believers. Many relatives who have gone hunting have started to pray decently.

Li Yi curled his lips, and found an open space to continue studying the magical powers of the ancient tree of the sky demon.

Because he has absorbed too much earth milk spiritual power, his strength has reached the peak of alchemy, but as long as he does not break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, the increase in the strength of his consciousness is very limited.

But at this time, under the supernatural power of the ancient demon tree, his spiritual thoughts are gradually spreading out from the surrounding vegetation, one mile, two miles, three miles...

On a mountain road ten miles away, a group of people and horses were walking slowly. In the middle was a small sedan chair, carried by four bearers at the front and rear, surrounded by a dozen servants and servants.

Suddenly, a chubby white hand lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, "Housekeeper, how far is it from Hezhou City?" Even though it was late autumn, the fat man sitting in the sedan chair was still dripping with sweat.

It's no wonder that in such a barren mountain, there are all kinds of strange calls one after another, and anyone who hears it will feel a little creepy.

The butler with a goatee was trembling in his calves, but he still tried to stay calm: "My lord, it's still far away, why don't you just rest here tonight~"

The fat man in the sedan chair looked around, it was pitch black, and if he walked on, he might be worried, so he nodded immediately and complained: "I think I have studied hard for more than ten years, and I have learned a lot. The master of the state capital is really confused..."

"My lord, don't dare to talk nonsense. If it reaches the ears of the state government, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back in this life." The butler looked suspiciously at the servants around him and said in a low voice.

The fat man in the sedan chair grunted twice with a displeased expression on his face, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew past, scaring away many birds and beasts in the forest.

"Aww!" A roar came from the depths of the forest.

The sedan chair fell to the ground with a thud, throwing the fat man who was about to get out so badly that he yelled, "What, what's going on? Do you want to murder the imperial court official?"

"My... my lord, it's a tiger!" The butler supported the sedan chair, and it took him a long time to get up, pointing forward with trembling fingers.

Fatty looked up, and saw a colorful tiger jumping down the slope, he shouted loudly: "Old, tiger, hurry up, come on, someone, take this beast down for me!"

The housekeeper wanted to cry but had no tears: "People... they all ran away."

The fat man jumped out of the carriage and looked around. Sure enough, all the servants and servants ran away, "Housekeeper, you are really loyal, and you have lived up to the great love of my officer!"

"Thank you for the praise, my lord. Even if the villain is smashed to pieces, it's hard to report what happened." The housekeeper looked grateful, but in his heart he couldn't help cursing: If it wasn't for his grandma's sprained foot, I wouldn't have stayed here!
Just as he was thinking, the fat man's voice came: "Hold on, I'll go rescue the soldiers!"

Turning around and looking, the fat man who usually does not work his limbs has already quickly fled away in the distance.

The housekeeper trembled in his heart, and he didn't know where the strength came from. He jumped up and hugged the fat man's leg: "My lord, don't leave the little one behind!"

It was the colorful tiger who was striding forward and suddenly saw these two lumps of fat that were constantly struggling, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"My life is over!" The fat man still couldn't break free from the butler, and shouted with a pale face.

At this moment, the colorful tiger that was about to pounce on it suddenly moved its ears and jumped to the side.

At the same time, the towering tree behind the two fat men seemed to come alive, its branches fluttering, and it frantically beat towards the place where the tiger was before.

"My god, there are monsters!" Fatty and the butler were surprised instead. There was a tiger in front and a tree demon in the back. They simply became turtles, huddled together and shivering.

Fortunately, the tiger was staring at the big tree as if it was facing a formidable enemy, but it didn't pay attention to the two clumps of fat.

Similar things are still happening in other places in the mountains. A hunter who was about to die, a mountain dweller who fell into the deer's den, and a cheetah who was about to escape... At this time, because of those inconspicuous The plants made mischief, and the plots were reversed one after another, falling into a strange situation.

All kinds of animal roars began to sound in the forest. These wolves, tigers and leopards who were in danger chose to gather together and join hands in an extremely humane way.

Li Yi, who was secretly manipulating all this with the magical power of the old tree of the sky demon, was stunned, but soon, he saw a burly figure rushing from a distance, and came to the side of those jackals, tigers and leopards. Ning looked at the surrounding vegetation: "The Zhenshan Taibao is here, who is it, get out!"

As he spoke, he yelled violently and cut down most of the surrounding vegetation.

Li Yi's vision was instantly shattered, and his mind was also severely injured at the same time. He opened his eyes suddenly, frowned and said, "Zhenshan Taibao Liu Boqin! Who are you..."

Although he just attached his spiritual consciousness to those plants, at that moment, he still felt a spiritual coercion that only a strong person above Nascent Soul would have.

At the same time, those villagers who went out to hunt began to come back one after another, and not long after, the fat man who escaped death, the housekeeper and others also fled to this village.

When everyone heard that this fat man was actually the new county magistrate of Hezhou City, they were all in awe.

The fat man ate the game roasted by the villagers, finally found some authority, and hummed: "Which one of you killed that tiger by yourself, I will reward you a lot!"

The villagers don't know how deep it is, they are all eager to try.

After hearing this, Li Yi frowned secretly. Those prey seemed to be raised by Liu Boqin's family.

Thinking about it, he stepped forward and said tentatively: "I heard that there is a Zhenshan Taibao nearby, why don't you ask him for help~"

"Zhenshan Taibao?!" The hunter leader in the village snorted, "It's just a despicable villain who came out of nowhere. If my father is alive, how can he get the title of Zhenshan Taibao? !"

Only then did Li Yi know that Zhenshan Taibao was not created by Liu Boqin himself, but a name that has been passed down for a long time in the local area. It is said that only the most powerful hunters can have the title!
"That's right, if it wasn't for Big Brother Pang who couldn't use a stone bow, how could it be his turn to be an outsider who got the title of Zhenshan Taibao." Several young hunters also shouted angrily.

"Stone bow?" Li Yi looked curious. If you want to talk about iron bows, he will understand a little bit, but what is the power of bows and arrows made of stone.

At this time, the villagers had already known the identities of Li Yi and Li Yi from the mouth of the fat county magistrate, and they had nothing to hide about these two great virtuous monks from Chang'an.

After listening to the explanation of the leader of the Orion, Li Yi looked strange, "You mean, it was this stone bow that Liu Boqin took the title of Zhenshan Taibao a few years ago?"

"Isn't it? If the old patriarch didn't try his best to shoot an arrow to scare him away, maybe the thief would have taken the stone bow away!" Someone said angrily.

Li Yi came to understand that Liu Boqin had been staying in Shuangchaling as the Taibao of Zhenshan. Apart from planning to "save" Xuanzang at a critical moment, the main purpose was probably the stone bow in this village. The power of the stone bow seemed to be unexpectedly strong, which made him afraid to act rashly.

Thinking of this, Li Yi became a little curious: "Brother Patriarch, I wonder if the stone bow can be shown to the poor monk?"

"This..." The Orion leader hesitated for a while.

"There is nothing to worry about. I can guarantee this master. Why, can you still not trust me as an official of the court..." The fat county magistrate who has been busy eating next to him couldn't help but raised his head and pointed at Li Yi and Xuanzang winked and said: "The little people in the mountains, the two masters laughed at me, I laughed at you..." Although he did not meet Li Yi and Li Yi with his own eyes, he heard a lot from his colleagues along the way. Fame, at this time, naturally, he would not miss this opportunity to flirt.

The Orion leader hesitated for a long time, but finally nodded.
