Chapter 1776
Let's Chat 2
Lu Sheng was lucky; the temple he visited had a high-ranking monk presiding over it.
The high monk saw the karma that Lu Sheng was carrying and originally did not want to get involved in the matter.
However, Lu Sheng was the son-in-law of a high-ranking official, and he used his official power to coerce the high monk. For the sake of the monks in the temple, the high monk had no choice but to give Lu Sheng a talisman.
A ghost went to seek revenge on Lu Sheng, but was injured by the protective talisman.
The ghost was somewhat fortunate, managing to devour a painted-skin ghost.
She thus learned the skills of the Painted Skin Demon, and from the Painted Skin Demon's collection, she found the most beautiful human skin to wear, transforming herself into a beautiful orphan girl to approach Lu Sheng.
Although she has come to Lu Sheng's side, the talisman will backfire and harm her if she reveals any murderous intent or ghostly aura to Lu Sheng.
The ghost was both angry and helpless, not knowing how to kill Lu Sheng.
She was worried about her child and dared not resort to a mutually destructive approach.
But now that the child has been saved by Liu Tong, she has no more attachments and wants to risk her soul being scattered to perish together with Lu Sheng.
But Liu Dong gave her hope.
Liu Dong helped A Piao not only out of sympathy for her plight, but also because although A Piao had killed people, they were all her enemies.
Heaven allows vengeful spirits to seek revenge.
But if, after taking revenge, one still harms other innocent people, Heaven will not allow it.
Meanwhile, Ah Piao, having been concealed by Liu Dong's magic, successfully evaded the high monk's protective talisman and attacked Lu Sheng.
Lu died, and his soul was torn to pieces by the ghost.
With the grudges settled, Ah Piao was lost and didn't know where to go or what to do.
She came to find Liu Qiu, who asked the ghost if she was willing to be reincarnated.
The ghost refused; she had no intention of reincarnating for the time being.
"I want to be there for my child as he grows up, and see him get married and start his own career..."
Liu Tong nodded: "Then go ahead."
He gave the ghost a concealment talisman, which could hide the ghostly energy on the ghost's body and confine the ghostly energy within its body, preventing it from dissipating and harming humans.
The ghost left, and Liu Qiu also went down the mountain and came to the village.
This village is quite far from the town, and because of its remote location, it is considered peaceful.
Upon leaving the village and reaching a nearby town, I discovered that the world had descended into chaos.
The emperor was incompetent, treacherous officials held power, oppressive policies were as fierce as tigers, bandits roamed freely, and the lives of ordinary people were extremely difficult.
Don’t blame monsters and ghosts for running rampant.
However, the vitality of humanity has begun to dissipate, and it can no longer suppress demons and monsters.
Along the way, Liu Dong encountered evil demons and ghosts, which he easily destroyed.
He wouldn't concern himself with the imperial court; Heaven was already nurturing the next true dragon emperor.
When the true emperor ascends the throne and the world is at peace, the number of demons and ghosts will decrease.
Surprisingly, those evil demons and ghosts actually knew the importance of money, and each of them had quite a collection.
Liu Dong collected their "relics," and his pockets swelled considerably.
Liu Tong bought two servants, a coachman, and a carriage. He traveled leisurely, making people think he was a noble young master going on a trip.
Some fools tried to rob Liu Tong, but the coachman and servant chased them away.
The coachman was named Liu San. He was originally a bodyguard for a high-ranking official and was quite skilled.
But the high-ranking official offended a treacherous minister, and his entire family was killed, while the servants and guards in his household were all sold off.
The two servants were not ordinary children either; they were also descendants of officials who had been convicted and reduced to slavery.
Their arrogance as sons of officials had long been worn down; they were intelligent and hardworking, which pleased Liu Tong.
Liu Tong discovered that the two children had a talent for learning magic, so he taught them some esoteric skills.
He didn't take on any disciples; he just casually pointed out some low-level Xuanmen techniques from other worlds.
But in this world, it's considered quite advanced. He also gave Liu San martial arts pointers, which increased Liu San's strength by at least 100%.
The three were very grateful to Liu Tong, and knowing that Liu was no ordinary person, they respected him greatly and served him even more diligently.
On this day, the group arrived in a city.
We were still twenty or thirty li away from the city gate, and it was getting dark.
By this time, the city gates should have already been closed.
Liu San was thinking of finding a place to stay for the night.
They learned from passersby that there was a temple nearby, so they decided to go to the temple to file a complaint.
Suddenly, cries for help came from inside.
Liu San spoke up: "Young Master?"
Liu Dong: "Go and take a look."
Liu San agreed; he knew the young master would take care of this matter.
Young master is a very good person.
Liu San immediately jumped off the carriage and headed towards the direction of the cries for help.
Not long after, Liu San brought back a woman.
The woman was well-dressed, with a good temperament and appearance; she seemed to be a young lady from a wealthy family.
Liu San: "Young master, this young lady is the daughter of Wu Shiyu from the city. She was attacked by bandits and wants us to take her back to the temple."
Liu Tong: "Miss Wu, please get into the carriage."
Miss Wu quickly curtsied towards the carriage, expressed her gratitude, and let Liu San help her into the carriage.
Miss Wu entered the carriage and saw a young master and two boys inside. The young master had an extraordinary presence and was definitely not an ordinary person, so she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
A person like that would never have any improper thoughts about her.
Liu San returned to the spot he had just been.
He killed the bandit and was going back to bury the body.
After Liu San returned, he continued driving the carriage.
Following Ms. Wu's directions, we soon arrived at the temple.
The Wu family had already discovered that she was missing and were searching for her. When they saw Miss Wu, they quickly surrounded her and escorted her to see Mrs. Wu.
Liu Dong then met with the abbot of the temple, gave him a silver ingot, and rented a courtyard.
The abbot instructed a young novice monk to bring them hot water, food, and drinks.
Liu Tong took a bite and found that the vegetarian dishes at this temple were quite good, especially the dried vegetables. After being stir-fried with sesame oil and mixed with white rice, the taste was...
After dinner, Liu Dong leaned back lazily in her chair, admiring the moonlight.
The moon is beautiful tonight, but the other guests in the temple are not in the mood to appreciate it.
How could Madam Wu sit idly by when her own daughter ran out of the temple without anyone by her side and was almost harmed by bandits?
She was not as naive as Miss Wu. Mrs. Wu realized that someone was framing her daughter.
Madam Wu arrested all the people around Miss Wu and interrogated them thoroughly, eventually uncovering the truth.
It turned out that it was Miss Wu's maid who had become too careless.
The maidservant had a crush on Miss Wu's cousin, Young Master Chen.
The maidservant tried her best to matchmake Young Master Chen and Miss Wu, hoping that she could marry into the Chen family with her mistress and become Young Master Chen's concubine.
This time, the maid created an opportunity for Miss Wu to meet Young Master Chen.
She said that Ms. Wu tricked the two out of the temple, hoping to arrange a secret meeting between them.
However, Mr. Chen was delayed by something and did not come, while Miss Wu encountered bandits.
If it weren't for Liu Dong and his group passing by, Miss Wu would have been in danger.
Madam Wu was furious and ordered her men to arrest the audacious maidservant. She planned to sell her upon returning to the manor. (End of Chapter)
