Chapter 190: Arriving at Lanruo Temple, Asking Grandma to Die (Subscription Request)
But even though I thought this in my heart, I couldn't say it out loud.

"Hey, Daddy, what are you thinking about?

Yue Chi is not going anywhere, Yue Chi has to escort Dad to the capital to take up his post. "

Fu Tianchou had a dark face and did not ask any more questions. He also subconsciously kept the fact that his daughter Fu Qingfeng left him and went to Lanruo Temple to himself.

Didn't he understand that his daughter was defying fate?

She was unwilling to marry into the Ma family, who already had an engagement, and would rather pursue all these illusory things.

Even if Fu Qingfeng could leave Lanruo Temple alive, Fu Tianchou knew that he would most likely never see his daughter again.

As a Confucian scholar, he could not break his promise, and as a father, he could not let his daughter fall into the quagmire.

It was difficult to make a choice, so he just let Fu Qingfeng go. From now on, Fu Tianchou no longer had a daughter like Fu Qingfeng. If anyone asked him, he would just say that she died in Lanruo Temple...

Without further ado, Fu Tianchou waited until dawn and followed Fu Yuechi on the road to the capital with a heavy heart.

In Guobei County, after a night of pursuit, it was naturally impossible for Fu Qingfeng to really catch up with Shi Jian.

After all, how can practicing martial arts be compared with cultivating immortals?
However, this did not pose a problem for Fu Qingfeng. Since Shi Jian said that he wanted to go to Lanruo Temple, he could meet him by going straight to Lanruo Temple.

With this thought in mind, Fu Qingfeng went looking for Shi Jian with determination.

......................................................

Lanruo Temple.

As the base camp of the tree demon, it has harmed countless people over the years.

Although Shi Jian didn't know where Lanruo Temple was, people in Guobei County knew it and could just head towards the populated area.

Early in the morning of the next day, outside the county seat of Guobei County, Shi Jian smiled faintly.

"This is Guobei County. It looks even worse than Renjia Town in the zombie world."

Yes, the county seat of Guobei County is extremely small, and there are not many people in the entire county.

As Shi Jian entered the county town and walked on the streets, the people coming and going in shoddy clothes had almost no joy on their faces.

Their cracked lips let people know that they were still alive, but other than that, there was no sign of life.

The real body of the tree demon Grandma, who is a spirit of plants and trees, is rooted in the deep mountains and forests near Guobei County.

Lanruo Temple was once the highest mountain in Guobei County and was a very popular temple.

But since the decline of Lanruo Temple, the tree demon has occupied it. As the spirit of plants and trees, its demand for water is astonishing.

Because of this, the few water sources in Guobei County, which was already extremely short of water, were gathered by the tree demon near Lanruo Temple to supply her body.

As a result, the people of Guobei County suffered. In just a few decades, Guobei County became desolate and looked like this.

Unfortunately, the imperial court is corrupt and is unable to eliminate the evil spirits in various places...

Walking on the street, Shi Jian soon arrived at a teahouse.

"Child, bring me a cup of tea."

Shi Jian was sitting in the shop, and he was the only customer coming to drink tea.

After all, Guobei County is extremely poor, so who would choose such expensive tea?
Only gentlemen who are truly not short of money can enjoy such elegance.

Hearing Shi Jian's call, the waiter was delighted. It was not easy to open a shop, so he should serve him attentively, right?
"Hey, sir, please wait a moment!"

Half an incense stick later, the waiter came over carefully holding a pot of tea, afraid that it would be shaken even a little.

"Sir, your tea!"

After placing the tea on the table, the waiter was about to leave. However, Shi Jian still wanted to inquire about the situation of Lanruo Temple in Guobei County, so he naturally couldn't let him leave.

"Waiter, I don't know if Lanruo Temple..."

Shi Jian was about to continue speaking, but as soon as the word "Lanruo Temple" came out, the waiter's face turned pale instantly.

"Sir, please be careful with your words!"

After looking around and seeing that no one heard what Shi Jian said, the waiter breathed a sigh of relief.

Speak softly and carefully.

"Sir, you can't mention the word Lanruo Temple. The entire Guobei County hates the monster in Lanruo Temple.

That’s fine, but no one who went there ever returned after seeing the name Lanruo Temple.

Even the government prohibits talking about Lanruo Temple."

Shi Jian nodded. He didn't expect that the tree demon would scare the entire Lanruo Temple like this. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was like a frightened bird.

"Waiter, I came from Mount Mao, so I know some skills in exorcising demons and monsters.

I just heard that there was a demon causing trouble in Lanruo Temple in Guobei County, so I came to inquire about its location.

The waiter just needs to point in a direction..."

The more gentle and polite Shi Jian was, the more reluctant the waiter was to tell him. After all, in his eyes, Shi Jian was undoubtedly a good man, and he really couldn't bear to see a stranger like Shi Jian die in a foreign land.

Of course, from the beginning to the end, the waiter did not believe that Shi Jian would really be able to eliminate the evildoers entrenched in Lanruo Temple.

Shaking his head, Shi Jian stopped asking questions and lightly touched the waiter's forehead with his fingertips. Everything about Lanruo Temple was sent into Shi Jian's mind through his spiritual sense. "No wonder you are so afraid of Lanruo Temple. It turns out that all five of your family, except you, died at the hands of that tree demon..."

Shaking his head, Shi Jian could finally understand why the other party was unwilling to tell him the exact location of Lanruo Temple even at death.

It is a bit sad, but more of it is misfortune. It is unfortunate for the people of Guobei County to encounter such a court, and it is equally unfortunate to encounter a monster like the tree demon grandma.

But one thing is certain: Shi Jian’s arrival today will completely change the fate of Guobei County!

The tree demon grandma...

Haha, in Shi Jian’s eyes, he will definitely be killed without mercy!
After learning the location of Lanruo Temple, Shi Jian drank the tea in the cup, left a little silver and money, then left the county town and headed straight for Lanruo Temple.

Not long after Shi Jian left Guobei County, Fu Qingfeng followed suit and came to the county to inquire about the situation in Lanruo Temple.

However, compared to Shi Jian, Fu Qingfeng was not so lucky and relaxed.

"You are a beautiful girl, how can you go to Lanruo Temple to die?

Why don't you stay here and I'll take you as my concubine, and live a good life with me in Guobei County?"

In front of a winery, when Fu Qingfeng asked about the location of Lanruo Temple, he was confronted with provocation and verbal teasing by the owner of the winery.

Unfortunately, Fu Qingfeng was almost immune to these sweet words, but the clay man still had some temper. In the blink of an eye, he just drew his sword and the other party immediately shut his mouth.

Shivering and sweating.

With a cold snort, Fu Qingfeng began to move towards the direction where Shi Jian left, which was where Lanruo Temple was located.

At this moment, even though it was daytime, when Fu Qingfeng entered the forest, he felt cold all over. That biting cold was not really caused by the low temperature, but the fear from the soul.

Of course, more of it is the resentment of the people who died near Lanruo Temple that lingers and creates a sinister aura.

"Ouch~Ouch!"

From time to time, bursts of shrill wolf howls could be heard in the woods. Fu Qingfeng moved forward even faster, fearing that he would encounter these beasts again.

In front of Lanruo Temple, Shi Jian had a cold smile on his face. As he walked along the way, he saw countless dead bones and waves of lingering evil spirits and resentment.

To be honest, my initial desire to kill the tree demon suddenly changed.

Not only did he want the tree demon to die, he also wanted her to die little by little...

Taking a deep breath, Shi Jian calmly pushed open the door of Lanruo Temple. With a creaking sound, just as Shi Jian pushed the door open, a long sword suddenly stabbed at him!
In an instant, Shi Jian tightly grasped the long sword with two fingers, and the true energy in his body surged. With a violent swing, the owner of the long sword was blasted away dozens of meters.

"You are not a mortal!"

The rough voice no longer had the domineering and self-doubting tone it had at the beginning. It was obvious that he was surprised at Shi Jian's strength.

"Middle stage of Jindan cultivation..."

Shi Jian smiled faintly. Since he arrived outside Lanruo Temple, he had sensed the aura fluctuations of the middle stage Jindan in Lanruo Temple.

However, his aura was a bit strange. He was said to be a Taoist disciple, but there was a bit of Buddhist aura mixed in. Shi Jian guessed that it was very likely that this cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core Sect was the bearded Yan Chixia who entered Taoism through martial arts and became a monk halfway through to gain an opportunity!

At this moment, when he stood up and saw that Shi Jian did not make any move, Yan Chixia's fear eased a little.

He originally stayed alone in Lanruo Temple to suppress the tree demon and prevent it from harming people again.

Unexpectedly, Shi Jian's arrival made him mistakenly believe that an evil spirit had come to his house. There was no way, and before Shi Jian opened the door, there was no sound, not even a trace of breath leaked out.

"My name is Yan Chixia, a casual cultivator. I wonder where you are from?"

After introducing himself, Yan Chixia realized that since he was no match for the other party, the only option was to make peace with him.

Besides, if such a cultivator came to Lanruo Temple and also came for the tree demon, huh, Yan Chixia could already imagine what the tragic end of the tree demon would be!
"I am Shi Jian, from Mount Mao!"

Shi Jian uttered these words slowly, especially the word Maoshan which made Yan Chixia pause suddenly.

Maoshan is one of the most famous sects in the world. There is almost no cultivator in the world who does not know the reputation of Maoshan.

Maoshan, Longhushan, Emeishan, Shushan and Kunlunshan are collectively known as the Five Palaces of Taoism!

Coming from such a famous and upright family, Yan Chixia felt that he was no match for the other party and there was nothing to be ashamed of.

"Hahaha, so you are from Mount Mao. Tsk tsk tsk, all the sects are now closed to the outside world. You came out like this, could you be a disciple who came here to gain experience?"

Shi Jian frowned slightly, puzzled because there was also a Maoshan sect in this world.

Take a deep breath.

"Daoyou Yan Chixia's guess is correct. I am the disciple of Maoshan who travels around the world!"

Shi Jian was right to say this. If his guess was correct, the Maoshan in this world was most likely created by the ancestors of Maoshan who entered the passage. In this case, Longhushan was likely to exist as well.

"Fellow Daoist Yan Chixia, I came here to ask the tree demon who has been entrenched in Lanruo Temple for many years to die. Fellow Daoist, don't worry that I will do anything bad to you!"

"Please ask the tree demon grandma to die?"

Yan Chixia was a little shocked. He didn't expect that the other party really came to exorcise demons!

　Ahem, the New World is still more passionate.

　　Two chapters with 7,000 words each. I feel like I’m back to my normal form. I’ll write two chapters with 8,000 words tomorrow.
