History’s Best Reincarnation: Episode 157: Meeting by Fate
After bidding farewell to Wang Erlang, Jiang Chen didn't delay at all. He even followed the traces of the man's breath left by the blue-clothed man, tracking all the way, and after a few days, he came to a huge temple:
"The Hall of Compassion!"
Jiang Chen saw the magnificent temple in front of him for a moment, and immediately felt a huge threat that he had never seen before. The moment the breath of the two exchanged, he only felt that his soul was shaken, almost subconsciously, a space moved, Back a few miles.
If it were other temples, he would still dare to go inside, but this Cihang Hall, unless his cultivation level can go a step further, and the Yang God can be cultivated to a perfect and solid state, or he is accompanied by top experts, otherwise, even with With his current Taoism and martial arts, he didn't dare to pry inside easily.
Is it fear? Maybe, maybe this is the intersection of fate, which can never be avoided!
Standing on the top of a small hill a few miles away, Jiang Chen looked at the Cihang Hall from a distance. Although the distance was far away, he could still feel the terrifying aura emanating from that magnificent hall. Clearly, the owner of this aura is his mortal enemy: Cihang Pudu!
Insects are weak in life, but they often have extraordinary talents. Once cultivated into monsters, their strength is often terrifying. Centipede is the best among them!
Although Jiang Chen is now successful in cultivation, he is still not sure of winning against ordinary monsters who have practiced for thousands of years, let alone centipedes who have practiced for more than a thousand years. Unfortunately, Cihang Pudu, his This fateful enemy happens to be a thousand-year-old centipede spirit!
"It seems that if you want to defeat the enemy and win, you have to go to Lanruo Temple to ask Yan Chixia for help." Thoughts were rolling in his heart, and before he knew it, he thought of this place. In the original plot, the thousand-year-old centipede spirit Cihang Pudu was killed by Zhi Qiu Yiye and Yan Chixia. Although Zhi Qiu Yiye died heroically in the end, he is no longer the original Zhi Qiu Yiye. His Taoism and martial arts are better than Zhi Qiu Yiye. Qiu Yiye has several grades. I believe that as long as he and Yan Chixia join forces, there is still a great chance to kill Cihang Pudu in one fell swoop.
There is no other word, Jiang Chen took a rest in the land, and because he encountered an old enemy, he seemed to have broken the bottleneck of his practice. He felt quite enlightened for a while, so he retreated for two or three months before turning back. During this period of time, Although he has been busy tracking down the traces of the man in blue, he has also inquired about a lot of news intentionally or unintentionally while walking outside. Among them, the location of Lanruo Temple is not anywhere else, just in the suburbs of Beiguo, Jinhua City in the mountains.
The horse galloped all the way, not afraid of the wind and the sun, but within a few days, Jiang Chen had already returned to Jinhua City. It was just after noon, and he had been driving for several days. Tired, he didn't pick and choose, so he randomly found an inn in the city to eat, not to mention, the lobby of this inn is often the place with the best news, he only needs to use a little tricks, and he can hear a lot information.
Those who do business lament the hardships of the world, those who walk in the rivers and lakes say that the world is not fair, and scholars resent the court's injustice... In short, even Jiang Chen, an outsider like Jiang Chen, feels powerless in this world.
Roughly speaking, he has been in this world for three years. Although he has stepped out of the Kunlun Courtyard to do a lot of things to punish **** and eliminate evil, but in the whole world, after all, the effect is limited. After all, this is a world where demons are rampant and cultivation is prevalent. His cultivation is far from enough to coerce the world, and naturally he cannot change the world.
"Strength, after all, is not strong enough!" Jiang Chen picked up the wine glass and drank half a sip. He always felt that the wine was tasteless, and he felt irritable, so he put down the wine glass in his hand again.
At this time, a young scholar with a book basket walked in at the door. Although the shopkeeper despised him for his tattered clothes, he was not a rich man at first glance, but since he opened the door for business, There was no reason for refusing customers to enter the store, so he still greeted them very courteously: "Guests, please, do you want to be a top-notch, or stay overnight?"
Before he could wait for the scholar to reply, he hurriedly greeted the clerk and said, "Agen, why don't you come over to get the salute for the customer?" Then he turned around and said to the scholar, "Our store happens to be open again. One room..."
The scholar was taken aback by the shopkeeper's hospitality, and quickly interrupted his words, and introduced himself, "No, no, I'm not here to stay. My name is Ning Caichen, and I'm sent by Jibaozhai. Account!"
"Ning Caichen?!" Jiang Chen took a sip of wine into his mouth, and before he could swallow it, he couldn't help but spit it out. Although he knew that he would meet this person one day, But he never thought that this day would come so suddenly. However, he traveled through several worlds, and he had many such experiences, so he quickly controlled his emotions.
Looking around in the blink of an eye, I saw that the guy named A Gen heard that Ning Caichen was not here to stay, his face immediately became icy cold: "Receive the bill?" The minister's book basket was thrown on the ground.
"Hey!" Seeing this, Ning Caichen hurried over to pick up the book basket, and bumped into Jiang Chen's table in a hurry, knocking a bottle of wine down. After catching the wine bottle, he quickly said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Chen is not a stingy person, looking at the legendary scholar standing alongside Xu Xian in front of him, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Scholar, I see you have a nice face, why don't you sit down and have a drink together?" A cup?"
Seeing Jiang Chen dressed in black with a red sword on his back, Ning Caichen knew that he was a stranger walking the rivers and lakes, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty's invitation is so kind, Xiaosheng shouldn't refuse it, but Xiaosheng has something else to do right now." If you want to do it, you have to accept it kindly."
"That's a pity." Jiang Chen didn't force him, and immediately let him turn around and walk towards the counter.
Seeing this, although the shopkeeper opened the drawer containing the money, he still said with some reluctance in his mouth: "I said, why do you Jibaozhai send different people every time to collect the bills?" Huh?"
Ning Caichen said with a flattering smile: "The person from last time was killed by others on the way after collecting the bill, so now it's me..."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Well, anyway, you will be killed sooner or later on the road after collecting the bill. Why don't you just let me do it for you!" Immediately, he waved his hand and said to Ning Caichen like chasing flies. : "Don't accept it, don't accept it!"
"Stop joking!" Ning Caichen was speechless. He quickly took out the account book that Jibaozhai kept for the shop below, but he forgot one thing. On the way, he was exposed to wind, sun, rain and snow. His body could bear it, but how could a mere account book bear it? At this time, I took it out and looked, it turned out to be damp from the rain, and the recorded numbers were all turned into a ball of ink. Who can recognize the account with this thing again?
Ning Caichen flipped through a few pages of the account book, and couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle, and said to himself, "Oops!" But fortunately, he was quick-witted, and it was not in vain that the boss of Jibaozhai promoted him to collect the accounts. Ning Caichen hugged the account book in his arms, pretended to be nonchalant and said to the shopkeeper of the teahouse, "Boss, can I have a look at the stub at your teahouse?" Added a sentence: "This is the new rule for Jibaozhai's collection of accounts!"
It's just that Ning Caichen is smart, but the shopkeeper of the teahouse is even more cunning. Seeing the other party's evasive eyes and erratic eyes, he was already suspicious and asked: "Is it a new regulation? You first bring the account book Show me!"
He ignored Ning Caichen's various excuses, and grabbed the account book from the scholar's arms. Ning Caichen quickly blocked the shopkeeper's sight with his hands, and said anxiously: "No, I can't read it!"
But only for such a moment, it was enough for the sharp-eyed shopkeeper to find out that something was wrong. He scolded: "What kind of account is this? Pay for things?"
Ning Caichen snatched the account book back, and said helplessly: "The account book is wet, but if I can't receive it, I have no money to go back..."
But the shopkeeper obviously didn't have the intention of sympathizing with him, and hurriedly called his clerk, Agen, to throw Ning Caichen's things on the ground. It was Ning Caichen's calamity, but why wasn't it his fate?
Ning Caichen said helplessly, "Boss, please help me."
At this time, the shopkeeper of the teahouse was very imposing. He came out from behind the counter and said with a smile, "Young man, since you don't have my account in your account book, it means that I don't owe you any money? You want to cheat Ah, if you don't leave, I will send you to the Yamen!"
As he said that, he pushed Ning Caichen out of the door. The poor scholar was already exhausted and exhausted from the trek all the way. Where could he get in the way of the shopkeeper pushing hard, and he was about to fall, but He felt that his back was supported by a strong force, followed by a cloud of mist, and when he realized it, he was already sitting at a table in the store, and opposite him was Jiang Chen's familiar smiling face : "Scholar, it seems that you can't get your bill today, why don't you have a drink with me?"
"This..." Ning Caichen hesitated for a while~IndoMTL.com~ He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing the table full of good food and drink, his already hungry belly But the spineless "Gulu, Gulu" yelled, and at that moment, he smiled awkwardly on his face, and said in his mouth: "It's better to be respectful than to obey. Since your lord has repeatedly invited you warmly, then Xiaosheng will not be polite."
"Ha!" Hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help chuckling: "You are a bit of a scholar, you're called Ning Caichen, right? I know that Qiu Yiye is a post-knowledge scholar of the Kunlun School. Since I invite you to drink, I naturally don't want you to be too polite, otherwise, wouldn't it be a disappointment?"
While talking and laughing, Ning Caichen couldn't help eating and drinking, he was really hungry. After staying for a while to fill his stomach, Jiang Chen wanted to invite him to stay, but he insisted on refusing to do so, so he invited the clerk A Gen to ask, "Brother, do you know any places around here that don't cost money?" Can someone stay temporarily?"
"Want to live in a place that doesn't cost money?" Agen immediately sneered with a bit of malice: "Then you can go to Lanruo Temple in the north of the city!"
Lanruo Temple........Ning Caichen hadn't reacted when he said this, when suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and the hot early summer seemed to turn into the cold winter in an instant. Let go... (to be continued.)
