I Can’t Be Sword God



220 I seem to be surrounded?

As for du Lanke, he felt that he had ruined a big business for the deyun temple after the man left. He was secretly happy.

Just as he was about to leave, he met Li Chu, who was turning back from the other end of the street.

He couldn’t help but feel lucky. If that man had been a few steps slower, he might have run into the little Daoist priest.

After tidying up his clothes, he walked up to Li Chu and asked, ” “You must be little Daoist priest li from the deyun temple, right?”

Speaking of which, he had never seen Li Chu in person. However, after hearing the description of his disciple and Junior Brother, he knew that his appearance was “on par” with his own.

Therefore, when he saw Li Chu coming from the opposite side, he immediately recognized his identity.

Li Chu saw a thin, tall, and dark-skinned middle-aged Taoist priest coming towards him with a smile on his face. For a moment, he was unsure of the other party’s background, so he replied, ” “And you are?”

“I’m du Lanke, the abbot of Nancheng temple.”

“Oh, senior du.”

Li Chu nodded lightly and addressed him as senior.

“This Jian Jia,” duranke said with a smile. we’re all from the same sect, and we’re so close to each other. You shouldn’t have opened the door without informing us.

Li Chu led him in and replied, ” “Junior’s days of cultivation are shallow, so there might be some oversight in my actions.”

“It’s fine.” Taoist master du waved his hand. my disciple was insensible and came here to play some pranks. I’m here today to visit my fellow disciples and to apologize.

Li Chu shook his head. it’s not a big deal. Besides, he has already apologized for sending the pills over. The pills produced by your temple are pretty good.

This was true. Ever since he had the yin gathering pill, he could make the ghosts that came out of the well stronger and gain more experience points.

However, du Lanke didn’t feel good when he heard that.

How could it not be useful?

They were all made from good materials!

He took a deep breath, looked around, and said, ” “Little Daoist priest Li’s temple is quite big, but it’s lacking in manpower.”

They walked from the gate to the front hall, but there was no one in the temple.

Usually, when Li Chu went out to do business and the temple was closed, the Fox girl would go out to play. Ever since she got her identity, she began to enjoy the fun of shopping.

As for Wang longqi, he couldn’t hold it in anymore. No one knew where he went to cause trouble.

Li Chu didn’t care. He invited du Lanke to sit on the futon in front of the hall.

it’s quieter with fewer people. In the deyun temple of the Hangzhou Prefecture, there are only two Daoist priests, my master and me.

“Two Daoist priests?” Du Lanke was surprised. so you’re here to open a branch, and only your master is left? ”

“Yes, I am.” Li Chu nodded.

Du Lanke was a little surprised. what a guy! You’re even going to open up a separate viewing? ”

Was it really just one person and one city?

Of course, the followers of Taoism were all over the nine regions. Occasionally, there would be a frivolous Daoist temple and two frivolous Daoist priests doing frivolous things. It was nothing to be surprised about.

Du Lanke returned to his senses and began to talk about the business of the trip.

“Has Daoist priest Li JR. Heard of the snow maidens?”

“Snow maidens?” Li Chu had heard of it before.

Snow maidens were a type of spiritual monster that was born in a World of Ice and snow. Strictly speaking, they were ‘monsters’ among demons and ghosts.

She was born in a human form, and most of her skin was white, gentle, and beautiful. She would often appear in the snow to look for the man she liked, bewitching him into the mountains to make love. After the pleasure, the man would freeze to death.

After a Snow Maiden became pregnant, she would give birth to a Snow Boy, who would often play with travelers in the snow.

Because of its classic image, it was widely praised.

However, he had always been in the South, so he felt that it was very far away.

“To the North of shenluo city, there’s a huge mountain called the wind Mountain. Every year after the snow falls, snow maidens will be born, harming the nearby villagers.”

“Recently, I’ve received some requests for help. However, snow maidens are Born From Ice and snow, so they’re extremely difficult to deal with.” “Of course, I’m not afraid of them with my cultivation base,” dulanke added after a pause. However, it will take a lot of effort for Wufu to completely kill it. ”

I’ve recently heard that although little Daoist priest li is young, his cultivation is strong. I’d like to invite you to go with me and eliminate the snow maidens of the Windy mountains.

Li Chu readily agreed.

There was no reason not to fight when a monster came knocking on their door.

Although he had already accumulated some things on hand, these things were not urgent. It was better to gain some experience first.

“Then I’ll go with senior.” it’s just that I know very little about snow maidens, ” Li Chu replied. I’ll need your guidance when we get there.

“Hehe, don’t worry,” Duranke patted his chest. I’ll take good care of you when we get there.

His heart rippled with the joy of his scheme succeeding.

One had to realize that there were special techniques to deal with demons like the snow maidens.

If he didn’t have the right method, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens. If one knew the trick, it would be much easier.

Therefore, du Lanke wanted to use this opportunity to make things difficult for Li Chu and show him the gap between them.

It would be better if he knew how difficult it was and simply left the south of the city. Otherwise, he would not dare to compete with the southern city Temple.

The Fox girl and Wang longqi had not returned yet. Li Chu wrote a note on the table, telling them where he was going and then left.

The Windy mountain was a towering mountain with a Northern aura, unlike the rolling hills of Jiangnan, which rose and fell but were not very high. The mountain stood tall on the vast plain, looking very imposing.

This mountain was like a solid high wall, blocking many of the cold winds from the North for shenluo city. Therefore, when they named the mountain, they suggested to call it “north wall mountain,” which meant the north wall. Perhaps it didn’t sound domineering enough, but it was later rejected.

Every time it snowed, the peak of the Windy mountain would turn into a World of Ice and snow. As for the snow maidens, they would often be born from this place and descend the mountain in search of strangers.

When they arrived at the foot of the Windy mountain, du Lanke gave Li Chu a shell-shaped magical treasure that he had refined.

He showed the other piece in his hand and explained, ” “This is the ten-mile Yin Yang shell, used for sound transmission.”

“There’s a legend among the people that snow maidens are devoted. In reality, this was because snow maidens had always acted alone, and they only attacked men who were alone. If we go up the mountain together, they won’t appear, so you and I have to go up the mountain separately.”

“If you encounter any snow maidens, it’ll be best if you can deal with them. If you realize that you can’t, just use this shell to send me a message. Once I hear it, I’ll immediately come to help.”

Du Lanke’s worry was real. He only wanted to push Li Chu a little, but he had no intention of killing him.

As long as he could make Li Chu ask for help, he would have achieved his goal.

Li Chu accepted the shell and nodded in agreement.

Thus, the two of them split up and went up the mountain.

In other seasons, there would still be some traces of people on the Windy mountains. Some people would go up the mountain to hunt or chop wood.

However, in winter, warning signs would be put up everywhere to remind them that snow maidens often appeared in the mountains.

After all, this kind of spiritual monster was born naturally and could not be exterminated. Even if the Imperial court were to conduct a large-scale clean-up operation, it was possible that a few more would be born after the snowfall.

Therefore, over the years, the local people had long known not to approach this place. However, the snow maidens would occasionally descend the mountain, and it was still possible for them to endanger the people living there.

Duranke strode forward, and not long after, heavy snow began to fall from the sky.

He couldn’t help but smile to himself. The heavens were really helping him.

The snow was the snow maidens ‘favorite time to go out. Judging from the amount of snow, it was likely that all the snow maidens on the mountain would come out.

Daoist priest du decided to just stand there and wait for a Snow Maiden with good taste and foresight to find him and kill her with a single strike.

Then, he would go and rescue the little Daoist priest who was in a terrible state.

This trip to windy mountain could be considered perfect.

Hehehe.

After calculating, he laughed evilly and waited in silence, his divine sense constantly scanning the surroundings.

However, there was still no trace of the snow maidens.

Wait, wait.

He waited until the sky was getting dark.

“Eh?” He furrowed his brows in confusion.

There was no day or night for the snow maidens. As long as it was snowing, they would come out to search for the man they liked and return to the mountain.

What’s wrong?

He hasn’t appeared after so long?

Could it be that the snow maidens in this mountain had already been exterminated by someone else?

With this question in mind, he brought the shell to his mouth and asked, ” “Daoist priest Li JR., Have you seen any snow maidens?”

“En, Yingluo.”

Li Chu’s calm voice came from the other side.

The little Daoist in green in the wind and snow looked around and saw the ethereal shadows around him. He answered honestly, ”

“I think I’ve been surrounded by snow maidens.”
