Chapter 165 Dog
Chapter 165 Dog
The young monk was Wuchen, who was very polite and it was hard for anyone to have a bad impression of him.
His eyes showed excitement, but also timidity and stammering, and it was obvious that he cared deeply about Kuzhu's life and death.
His knees were slightly bent. If Chen Shi and Li Tianqing's answers changed, he would have two choices: kneel down or run away.
Chen Shi's heart moved slightly, he took a step forward and shouted: "Evil disciple, why don't you kowtow to your master when you see him?"
Monk Wu Chen's face turned pale, his legs went limp, and he knelt down with a thud.
It wasn't until he fell to his knees that he came to his senses and laughed softly.
His laughter grew louder and louder, gradually becoming deafening, and he completely ignored the fact that his laughter might attract the mushroom giant.
"Master took over your bodies, but he still capsized in the gutter!"
He could no longer conceal his excitement, he knelt on the ground and laughed loudly, tears streaming down his face as he laughed, "I'm alive, I'm finally alive! My life is finally in my hands!"
He laughed out loud: "I have been trembling with fear and walking on thin ice all these years. I couldn't even sleep soundly, fearing that one day I would never wake up again! Finally, my life is mine! Thank you, thank you!"
He kowtowed several times to Chen Shi and Li Tianqing.
Chen Shi quickly dodged, unwilling to accept his gift, and said, "Kuzhu wanted to take over our body, so we planned to kill him, not to save you."
Li Tianqing couldn't bear it and said, "Brother Wuchen, please accept my condolences. Extreme joy and sorrow will hurt your heart, and it's easy for your mind to lose control and be invaded by demonic nature."
Monk Wu Chen knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
"When I was twelve, I took the county exam and passed it. I was accepted as a disciple by my master. I was ecstatic. What kind of person is Master Kuzhu? Being able to become his disciple is really a blessing from my previous life."
He cried until his nose was bubbling, and he complained to the two men with snot and tears, "I didn't know until I arrived at his temple that the Zen master had accepted more than just me as a disciple. There were actually hundreds of scholars who had joined him as disciples. The master had his own temple outside, and I lived there with those scholars, isolated from the world. I thought to myself, I must work a hundred times harder to stand out from my fellow disciples and get the master's attention."
Chen Shi pulled Li Tianqing's sleeve and pursed his lips.
Li Tianqing felt awe when he saw many mushroom giants walking towards him.
Monk Wuchen cried, "Master taught us the Mahavairocana Vajra Mantra and asked us to practice. After a year, my brothers and I had made some progress. Master threw us into the illusion of the Demon Suppression Tower, which was called a trial. The illusion of the Demon Suppression Tower is a magic field. I thought it was just a trial, until the head of my good brother Wuxin was squeezed by a claw and exploded..."
Li Tianqing and Chen Shi immediately bypassed Wuchen and quickly left before the mushroom giant surrounded them.
Behind them they could hear Monk Wu Chen sobbing.
"My fellow apprentices who used to be on good terms with me were ripped open by the demons in the Demon Realm. Some had their heads twisted off, some had their intestines pulled out and strangled to death, and some were chopped into pieces and served up for a banquet. I was terrified. Only then did I realize how cruel this trial was!"
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing had already rushed out of the encirclement of the mushroom giants. The two men and the dog looked back and saw mushroom giants coming from four streets and converging in the same direction.
"I'm afraid Monk Wuchen can't escape this disaster." Li Tianqing said.
Chen Shi said: "We have been hungry for so long, we don't have the energy to do anything, let alone save people."
Li Tianqing nodded.
They must conserve their energy, and not rescuing Wu Chen is the best option.
"boom!"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the sound of thunder rolled and shook, causing the two men's golden cores to tremble continuously, as if thunder was exploding in their ears!
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing turned around hurriedly, only to see a 16-foot-tall golden Buddha appear behind Monk Wuchen. Wuchen punched out, and the golden Buddha also punched out, making a rolling thunder and piercing the head of a mushroom giant!
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing widened their eyes.
Monk Wuchen's body was shining with golden light. He turned over and jumped up, kicking out with his right leg. The golden Buddha turned over with him, and swept the umbrella cover of the mushroom giant with his right leg. The umbrella cover was swept away by the huge force!
The mushroom giant lost its cap, its headless body shook, and then fell to the ground with a thud.
Wu Chen took a step in the air and shouted, "I will kill. I have to be more terrifying than those demons. Only then can I survive in this demonic realm!"
He kicked a human-headed mushroom's head to pieces, lifted up a mushroom giant, and swung it to smash it onto another mushroom giant.
He raised his foot and stomped a pair of eye mushrooms on the ground, then he turned sideways and knocked the mushroom giant that was charging towards him away. He stepped continuously in the air, caught up with the giant, inserted his hands into the chest of the giant, and tore the mushroom giant apart alive!
"No one can take my life!"
Monk Wuchen fought his way out of the encirclement, then turned around and fought back, his voice angry.
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing were shocked when they saw the young monk kill all the mushroom giants with just a few moves.
"Wu Chen's strength is extremely high!"
Li Tianqing wondered, "Why didn't Master Kuzhu choose him?"
Chen Shi guessed: "Could it be that Kuzhu thinks that we are better than him?"
The two of them didn't have time to think too much and hurried to the headquarters of the Cao Lao Hui.
Monk Wuchen stood in the middle of Changfeng Street, his face calm, still immersed in his memories.
In the first trial, he and more than a dozen other fellow disciples survived, while the other ninety-odd people died in the trial.
Zen Master Kuzhu smiled and said to them that they were all very good and were good seedlings. As for those little monks who died, they were just rotten skin bags without wisdom and affinity with Buddhism, so they could not become spiritual children.
But they are different.
If they survive, they will be one step closer to becoming the Buddha's spiritual child.
"There will be a second trial one year later." said Zen Master Kuzhu.
Wu Chen and his dozen or so fellow disciples practiced even harder, not daring to slack off at all. If they slacked off, they would not be able to survive!
While he was practicing diligently, he also thought about escaping, but some of his fellow disciples had already put it into practice.
Three of his fellow disciples secretly escaped and were not seen for several days. Wu Chen was very happy, thinking that they had escaped.
This incident inspired him until one day, when Zen Master Kuzhu used his immense magical powers to show the Buddhist hell, and he saw the three fellow disciples walking on mountains of knives and jumping into cauldrons of oil in hell, looking extremely miserable.
Since then, no one has thought of escaping.
In the second year of the trial, four people survived.
Wu Chen had a very good relationship with the other three people and they supported each other, which is why they survived the trial.
In the third year of the trial, two people survived.
The other one was named Wu Le, and he was his best friend.
In the fourth year of the trial, there were no demons in the trial field, nor was it an illusionary demon realm. There were only Wu Chen and Wu Le.
Wu Chen and Wu Le both understood that the master did not need two spiritual children to follow him to become a Buddha. There was only one spiritual child who could become a Buddha.
In this brutal battle, Wu Chen finally survived.
He walked out of the trial field, and Master Kuzhu smiled as he put on the monk's robe for him.
"Wu Chen, you are worthy of being the one chosen by the master. You will become a Buddha with me." Zen Master Kuzhu said with a smile.
He practiced under the guidance of Zen Master Kuzhu, traveled far and wide, met many extraordinary people, and heard and experienced many bizarre things.
Master Kuzhu loved him very much, and the skills and techniques he taught him were all the best, without any reservation. "Spirit boy, only if you practice the same skills as me can you perfectly match with me, become me, and become a Buddha." Master Kuzhu said.
At that time, he was still a young monk and did not understand the meaning of his master's words. Later, he gradually understood what it meant to become myself and to become a Buddha.
He wanted to escape, but he knew the world was so big that there was nowhere to escape.
He had been following Zen Master Kuzhu and watched the Zen Master grow older and older, but the strange thing was that the Zen Master never took over his body.
Later, he heard Zen Master Kuzhu mention a child scholar, saying that the child scholar was the best genius.
Zen Master Kuzhu is getting older and older, and is still searching for a better spiritual boy than Wuchen.
He felt somewhat relieved and somewhat jealous.
I have fought my way out of a sea of blood and corpses, and even my best friend died in my hands. Why shouldn't I be the best?
Until this time, Zen Master Kuzhu received the news from Xijing and immediately took him to Gongzhou.
"Chen Shi, is he the scholar that Master has been thinking about?"
Wu Chen looked in the direction where Chen Shi left and whispered, "He doesn't seem to be anything special. He must have had his supreme divine fetus dug out and disappeared among the crowd."
He disappeared in a flash.
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing arrived at the headquarters of the Cao Lao Hui. Hei Guo walked in front and went straight to the mansion.
There were four Jindan-level cultivators guarding the gate of the Cao Lao Hui's main altar. When they saw Gou Zi and the two men behind him, their chests straightened even more.
When the two men and the dog entered the main temple, the four monks did not dare to neglect them. They had only one thought in their minds: perform well and get promoted and given a higher salary.
As for why they thought so, they didn't know.
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing followed Hei Guo and broke into the main temple of Cao Lao Hui. They saw various sculptures of fish and dragons in the yard, as well as a sculpture of an old lady in black clothes and a black face. The old lady had a black dragon-shaped creature wrapped around her body, and the incense was very prosperous.
The main altar of the Caolaohui is relatively large, connected to the Minjiang River, and the air is filled with a fishy smell.
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing followed the black pot to the kitchen.
The kitchen was bustling with people, and more than a dozen cooks were busy cooking delicious dishes.
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing greeted the chefs skillfully and started to eat as much as they could. They ate until their bellies were full, and Hei Guo was also full with food, and they were finally satisfied.
Chen Shi saw a huge table in the kitchen yard, on which was placed a huge fish that was several meters long. They looked at each other, walked over, picked up the fish and walked out.
At this time, a voice was heard saying, "Who are you? Where are you going to carry this fish?"
Chen Shi was shocked, and saw Cao Yunshen, the leader of the Cao Lao Society, and more than a dozen people walked in, looking at Chen Shi and Li Tianqing with unfriendly expressions.
The dozen or so people around Cao Yunshen were actually important officials in Gongzhou City!
The governor Fei Tianzheng, the chief of the Salt Transport Department Cui Yongzhi, the chief of the Criminal Department Wei Gong, the general Xia Chuli, the chief of the Tea and Horse Department Gu Ping'an...
"Just now there were so many people in the kitchen cooking. It turned out that Cao Yunshen was entertaining these important officials!"
He secretly groaned in his heart. With so many powerful people, could Hei Guo's strength deceive them?
Hei Guo was extremely nervous. He looked at Governor Fei and others, trying his best to change their ideas and cognition.
If they fail to deceive, Chen Shi and Li Tianqing will be killed immediately by these senior officials!
There are too many experts.
It is extremely difficult to deceive them at the same time!
Hei Guo once tried to deceive two or three experts, which was already very difficult, but to deceive more than ten experts at the same time would be extremely difficult!
Chen Shi bowed and said, "I have received orders to deliver this big fish to the front yard."
"Go ahead." Cao Yunshen waved his hand with a smile.
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing held the big fish high and walked out.
Suddenly, Governor Yan showed a suspicious look and said, "Wait a minute. Aren't they cooking in the back kitchen? Why are they sending it to the front yard?"
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing stopped and looked at the black pot.
Black Pot tried his best to influence Governor Yan's cognition. Governor Yan looked dazed for a moment and said with a smile: "I see. You guys go ahead."
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing didn't say anything, but he seemed to have heard their explanations.
The two men hurried out of the kitchen. Hei Guo was so tired that he could barely keep up with them.
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing slowed down their pace, only to hear Cao Yunshen's voice coming from the kitchen: "Although our Cao Lao Society has the exclusive control over the Minjiang River, we will not be able to hold out for long in this demonic change. In addition to satisfying the disciples of the Cao Lao Society, we also have to offer our catch to the masters. We will only end up eating up all the resources."
Fei Tianzheng's voice came, "Grandma Minjiang, can you eat it?"
Chen Shi's eyes widened. Minjiang Grandma was the deity worshipped by the Cao Lao Hui. The reason why the Cao Lao Hui was able to gain a foothold in Minjiang was because of Minjiang Grandma!
Fei Tianzheng actually proposed to eat up the Minjiang Grandma. Isn't he afraid of the resistance from the Cao Lao Society?
Cao Yunshen smiled and said, "Governor, the Blood Tai Sui from Hongshan Hall tastes better than the Minjiang Grandma."
Everyone laughed and said, "We need to eat Blood Tai Sui, and Minjiang Grandma needs to eat too."
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing were startled. Li Tianqing noticed that Chen Shi slowed down his pace, and hurriedly lowered his voice and urged: "Xiao Shi, hurry up!"
Chen Shi shook his head and simply stopped talking, saying, "These dozen gentlemen came to the Cao Lao Hui not to have a feast, but to force the emperor to abdicate. Let's first listen to how the Cao Lao Hui will deal with it."
Li Tianqing had no choice but to stop and the two of them listened attentively.
Cao Yunshen’s voice came from the kitchen, begging, “My lords, my grandma is a carp dragon who has been practicing for thousands of years. It is not easy for her to practice! When I was a child, I had no food and was about to starve to death by the river. It was my grandma who surfaced and gave me seafood from the river. Our village worships my grandma every year. She is our godmother, our deity…”
"Master Cao, your Cao Lao Hui is supported by the government, don't forget that."
Governor Fei Tianzheng's voice came, saying, "I supported you in controlling the grain transport. How many benefits did I give you? How many disasters did I protect you from? Now, at this critical moment, you, the Grain Transport Association, should repay me for my cultivation."
Cao Yunshen said: "But grandma is my godmother of the Cao Lao Hui, our savior, our god..."
"The Cao Lao Hui is just a small sect."
General Xia smiled indifferently and said, "Master Cao, what qualifications do you have to bargain with us?"
Cao Yunshen was silent for a moment, then said, "You are right, my lords. I will definitely offer my grandmother for you to taste."
Footsteps were heard, and everyone was walking towards this side. Chen Shi and Li Tianqing quickly lifted up the big fish and were about to leave when Cao Yunshen's voice suddenly became so loud that it made people's eardrums buzz: "Grandma, hurry up! Brothers, open the gate quickly!"
"Oh!"
There was a loud bang, Chen Shi looked back, only to see the houses torn into pieces. Cao Yunshen was spitting blood and fell towards this side, hitting the ground with a bang, his bones broken, and the broken bones pierced his chest and penetrated his heart.
"Grandma, please go..."
He tried to prop up his body and wanted to get up, but at this moment a foot stepped on his head and crushed him to the ground.
Fei Tianzheng was furious, he stepped on Cao Yunshen's head into the dirt, and said unhappily: "The dog I raised actually betrayed me!"
He cast a cold look at Chen Shi and Li Tianqing. Hei Guo quickly came to Chen Shi and looked him in the eye.
Fei Tianzheng looked away, turned around and walked away, smiling: "Everyone, the dog has been executed. Let's go to the banquet, the food is ready."
