Chapter 146 The Back Wave Beats the Front Wave

After Lei Dongjun left Chu Zhi's courtyard, his eyes became fierce. He had known Qi Mei for five years, and he knew all her friends, but this was the first time he had met this person.

Over the years, as the ninth sister became more and more famous, more and more people came to visit her, but the seventh sister was never seen.

If we really couldn't refuse, we would ask people to take us to the lobby for the meeting.

This was the first person to be brought directly to her courtyard, and he was a young man.

Lei Dongjun couldn't help but think about it.

After he returned to his own courtyard, he called his trusted men over and said, "Go check the origins of the man who came to visit the Seven Escorts today."

"Yes." The confidant responded and left.

……

In Chu Zhi's courtyard.

Chu Zhi looked at Gu Mingchuan, feeling somewhat helpless. This man was still stubborn. From this point of view, he did have the style of an ascetic monk.

However, when she thought of the rumors about Shangguan Yu, Yu Mengzhu, Yin Shengxue and him, she felt a little unconvinced.

There were very few people in this world that she could look up to, and these three women were indeed her rivals. She didn't say it, but in her heart she was competing with them in every way.

The Gu Mingchuan in front of them has entanglements with all three of them.

For his sake, Yu Mengzhu and Yin Shengxue did not hesitate to offend the Demon Suppression Division and challenge the strong men in the Dharma Image Realm.

Chu Zhi's competitive spirit was also activated. She wanted to make this man her subordinate, so that she could suppress Yu Mengzhu and Yin Shengxue for the rest of her life.

Unfortunately, the man didn't respond at all, causing her to run into many setbacks.

These thoughts flashed through her mind, but her face remained unchanged as she said, "To be honest, I don't know much about this Laojun Temple."

"This Taoist temple was built two hundred years ago. The owner of that piece of land was the Wu family, one of the founding heroes. Fifteen years ago, the Wu family was convicted and the Empress Dowager ordered the execution of all the family members. Naturally, there is no way to find out the relationship between this Taoist temple and the Wu family."

"From what I know, this Taoist temple has many strange things. I once sent people to sneak in, but the people who went in never came out again."

"You can only leave safely if you enter through the main gate. Everyone who enters will lose their memory of the temple after leaving, and may not even remember that there is such a temple."

At this point, she paused, "Of course, the people I sent had the highest level of cultivation at the Divine Hidden Realm. As for what will happen after the Faxiang Realm enters, I don't know."

Gu Mingchuan thought, I know this.

After entering the Dharma Image Realm, after a while you will remember the experience of entering the Laojun Temple and realize that you have lost a part of your memory.

From this we can see that the mysterious existence in Laojun Temple is not omnipotent and cannot completely erase the memory of the Dharma Realm.

Chu Zhi continued, "Everyone who enters Laojun Temple will have their cultivation improved to varying degrees when they come out. However, they will also have to pay a corresponding price and lose something precious. For example, treasures, magic weapons, etc. -"

"If you don't have a treasure that Laojunguan values ​​with you, he will take away what you value most."

Gu Mingchuan couldn't help but ask when he heard this, "For example?"

"Those who are addicted to alcohol will have their mouths taken away. Those who love beauty will have their entire faces taken away. Those who are lustful—"

Before she finished, Gu Mingchuan already understood what she meant, but, "Taking away the treasure is understandable, but why does Laojun Temple need someone's mouth and face?"

Chu Zhi said, "For humans, these things are naturally worthless. However, those who have such magical means must have already transcended the scope of humans."

"You mean, Red Dust Immortal?" This was his first reaction.

"Maybe, maybe not. You need to enter the Taoist temple in person to know."

Gu Mingchuan was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'd better go back to Minglong Mountain to find King Kong Arhat."

Compared to the unreasonable existence of the Red Dust Immortal, he felt that Vajra Arhat was easier to deal with. At least Vajra Arhat was rational and could be talked to.

"You are courting death if you go to Minglong Mansion now. The Demon Suppression Department has sent a Dharma Image Realm to guard near Minglong Mountain, waiting for you to return and fall into their trap."

Gu Mingchuan was stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that this was indeed possible.

The last time he was in Zhongzhou City, the Demon Suppression Division dispatched four powerful magicians. If it weren’t for Yu Mengzhu and the others, it would not have been so easy for him to escape.

He still shook his head, "This Laojun Temple is too dangerous. At most, I will not practice the "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art" for now."

This is the truth. If it really doesn't work, first upgrade the "Hehua Zizai Sutra" to the Dharma Image Realm. Anyway, his identity as the Holy Son of Xuanming Sect has been nailed down by the Demon Suppression Department.

At that time, we will bring Yu Huaiyi and Shangguan Yu with us, and it will be three against one. The Dharma Image Realm cultivator guarding Minglong City will be badly injured if he doesn't die.

Chu Zhi's delicate eyebrows slightly frowned, "You are not the kind of person who is afraid of danger, why this time?"

Gu Mingchuan said unhappily, "I had no choice before. If I could, I would stay here until I was invincible."

Chu Zhi said, "You are very confident in yourself."

Having the guts to say that you will be invincible in the future is indeed a kind of strong self-confidence.

She paused, then continued, "You don't trust me, right?"

Gu Mingchuan said frankly, "Yes, who knows if you have any conspiracy or trickery, I don't want to end up like Shangguan Yu."

Chu Zhi said faintly, "Whether you believe it or not, I never thought of harming her."

Just say yes.

Gu Mingchuan didn't say anything.

Chu Zhi asked again, "What if I go with you?"

He looked up at the woman in front of him with some surprise in his eyes.

"I won't hurt myself, will I?"

Gu Mingchuan became even more curious and asked, "Why did you try so hard to get me to go to the Laojun Temple?" Chu Zhi said, "Because you are the key to breaking the deadlock."

……

A dozen miles east of Shendu City is Lifeng Mountain.

Gu Mingchuan came to Laojun Temple again, and this time, Chu Zhi came with him.

Like she said, she wouldn't joke with her life.

The fact that she is willing to come here means that the danger here is not great, at least her life is not in danger.

Gu Mingchuan sensed that Yu Huaiyi was just ten miles away. At this distance, he could borrow her power for his own use at any time. Even if he encountered a powerful magician, he would be able to fight her off in a few moves.

However, there are other tails behind them.

It was the man he met in Chu Zhi's yard just now. The other party didn't seem to have any intention of hiding anything, so Gu Mingchuan easily found his trace.

He smiled and said, "Your flower protector?"

Chu Zhi said calmly, "That's my fifth brother, Lei Dongjun."

Lei Dongjun?
This name sounds familiar.

Gu Mingchuan was thinking when he heard Yu Huaiyi's voice transmission, "He was the number one on the Grandmaster List of the previous generation, and he broke through to the Dharma Image Realm four years ago."

When she mentioned it, he remembered it.

He was once a world-famous figure who entered the Dharma Realm with an invincible attitude at the age of thirty.

However, as the four great geniuses appeared on the stage, he was soon forgotten. After all, the four of them were already at the peak of the divine realm before they were twenty, and they were all beautiful women with stunning beauty.

In terms of popularity, he can't compare to these four.

In just four years, in people's perception, he and the current generation of Grandmasters are completely two generations apart and have long been out of date.

All we can say is that the new generation is better than the old one.

The fact that Ping An Escort Agency can be ranked among the nine major sects is certainly not due to Chen Pingan alone. Today, Ping An Escort Agency can be said to be full of talented people.

There are nine escort leaders. Except Chu Zhi, the other eight are all in the Dharma Image Realm, and all of them are the best in the Dharma Image Realm.

Chu Zhi ranks seventh and Lei Dongjun ranks fifth.

It was obvious that Lei Dongjun was worried about Chu Zhi and came to protect her.

Gu Mingchuan nodded, looked towards the Laojun Temple in front of him, and said, "Let's go."

He and Chu Zhi walked side by side towards the gate of Laojun Temple. When he entered, he had a strange feeling that the magnetic field of this Taoist temple was somewhat different from that outside.

It’s a bit like the feeling I had the last time I entered Black Bull City.

"This should be the realm of the Red Dust Immortal."

Gu Mingchuan thought that there was nothing unusual when he silently circulated his true energy.

After entering the door, there was a courtyard with bluestone paved on the ground. A middle-aged Taoist priest was sweeping the floor. He ignored their arrival and just concentrated on sweeping the dust and fallen leaves on the ground.

Gu Mingchuan stepped forward and called out, "Master."

The Taoist priest still did not respond and continued sweeping the floor.

He was about to pull it when a voice came from the Taoist temple, "Wulian Tianzun, the two donors, please come in."

Gu Mingchuan and Chu Zhi turned around and saw a Taoist priest who was as gentle as jade. The clothes he wore were obviously different from those of the Taoist priest sweeping the floor.

He should be the abbot of this Taoist temple.

At first glance, this person looks very young, like a teenager of about sixteen or seventeen years old.

Looking at him again, I thought he was in his twenties.

Soon I felt that he had a mature temperament and should be a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.

He has several different temperaments mixed together, giving people a very contradictory feeling.

Gu Mingchuan and the other man walked over and asked, "Hello, Taoist Priest. May I know your name?"

The Taoist bowed and said gently, "I am Xuanfeng, the abbot of this temple. It is fate that you two can come to this temple. Please come in and talk."

Gu Mingchuan and Chu Zhi walked over calmly.

Now that you're here, there's nothing to be afraid of.

The Taoist temple is not big and it enshrines a statue of the very common Zhenwu Emperor. It doesn't look like there is anything special about it.

Taoist Xuanfeng said, "It seems that the two donors of this poor Taoist temple have some troubles. You can burn a stick of incense to the Heavenly Venerable and pray a few times. Maybe your troubles will be solved."

coming!

Gu Mingchuan guessed that this was most likely a ritual. Through this ritual, one's cultivation level could be greatly increased, but at the same time one had to pay a corresponding price.

He was about to refuse when he suddenly found that his body was out of control. He took the three incense sticks from Taoist Xuanfeng and walked to the statue.

Chu Zhi next to him was the same as him.

“Is this the power of rules?”

Gu Mingchuan thought to himself, he did not struggle. Even Yu Huaiyi, who was at the Dharma Image Realm, was hit. It would be useless to struggle.
