Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 395: Double Act Fishing

Xiao Jin and Xiao Lin protested against picking mushrooms, and they even wanted to spank the little kid.

In the end, the old patriarch defeated the enemy with one move, which was: "I pick mushrooms to stew chicken for your master."

Well, the master is a god, his reborn parents. What else can Xiao Jin and Xiao Xiao say? They can only go picking mushrooms obediently.

So the following scene appeared: the grown-up Xiao Jin was carrying a basket of vegetables, with a lynx sitting on his shoulder, and walking towards the village gate, attracting the attention of the soldiers and civilians, who were extremely happy.

The new temple town, Zhaonie Town, was named Nirvana, which means rebirth.

The names of other temple towns also end with "Nie", such as Qiannie Town and Zhengnie Town, which fully reflect the lazy style.

At this time, Zhaonie Town built a six-meter-high wall against the mountain.

The village wall is made of logs and stones. Although it is not as solid as the vertical wall made of stone bricks, its defensiveness is undoubtedly greatly enhanced compared to the previous log wall.

In the center of the town, stands a solemn temple, which is the spiritual symbol of the town and the embodiment of the residents’ faith.

Surrounding the temple, rows of rooms and courtyards are under construction in full swing.

The sounds of the craftsmen's axes, chisels and hammers intertwined to form a hymn of labor.

Every brick, every beam and every pillar embodies the hard work and sweat of the townspeople. They use their own hands to build their own homes bit by bit.

The streets in the town are well planned, the houses are reasonably laid out, and it is full of traditional charm.

People are working on the ground, and also underground.

In the dim underground palace, Fangkuai's voice rang out: "Old Tu, the master is about to come out of seclusion. It's time for us to go back and pay our respects."

"There's no need to do this. There's no need to care about rumors. We just need to do our own thing." The soil layer said in a calm voice.

"But the master is out of retreat, and it would be unreasonable for us not to go back and pay our respects."

"Ah," the soil layer sighed and said, "How can you be so naive, kid? If we go back to pay our respects now, how can the master have a confession to clean up the new town of the temple?"

Fangkuai couldn't help but open his eyes wide when he heard that.

Seeing this, the soil layer smiled and said, "My master has given me a new life, so how could I have any other thoughts? Don't just look at the surface of things, but look through the essence to see the inner side."

"But the master never really cares about these things."

"The master may not care, but we do. Our existence is to clean up all impiety. The new temple town belongs to the master, and there is no room for ambition."

"Oh." Although Fangkuai was confused, he didn't ask any more questions.

"Once we have dealt with this matter, we will go home and retreat."

"Well, let's go home. I miss home and my brother Hanzi." Fangkuai showed an innocent smile.

"Haha, then we'll go home in a few days."

"That's great." Fangkuai clapped his hands happily. After all, he was still a child.

The joyful voices echoed in the underground palace, foreshadowing that darkness would eventually usher in light.

This was indeed the case. When Shang Liangshan came out of retreat in the evening and listened to Xiaocao's report, he heard the latter talking about his plan to join forces with the soil layer to perform a double act to fish.

To this he simply said: "Follow your plan."

Xiaocao had expected his master's reaction, so he didn't mention it further. Instead, he talked about the matter of the Mountain and River Seal giving birth to Huang Lingwei again.

"I have been in seclusion for nearly two years. Has the Mountain and River Seal not bred the Yellow Spirit Guard again?"

"No," Xiao Cao shook his head and said, "The Mountain and River Seal has been evolving until last night when it absorbed the energy of thunder and gave birth to the Yellow Spirit Guard again. Xiao Jin discovered this when he went to the vault this morning and wanted to use the ore to make a small golden stick to play with."

"I thought that the Mountain and River Seal had given birth to two or three thousand Yellow Spirit Guards during my retreat." Shang Liangshan was not disappointed. The Mountain and River Seal had its own plans. Besides, he was an earth spirit now, and the Yellow Spirit Guards were just a number to him.

"The number of Yellow Spirit Guards has not increased, but the Spirit Guards have already been dispatched ten times."

"Oh, how many spirit guards are there now?" This surprised Shang Liangshan. He was not surprised by the number of spirit guards, but the casualties of believers.

"The total number of honorable ones, their strength is unknown, the number of Yellow Spirit Guards, Eagle Guards, and Wolf Guards has not increased."

"It's hard for you to have a group of teammates who only care about fighting and killing." Shang Liangshan said with emotion.

"It's not hard at all, but Xiaocao wants to take some time to retreat and break through to level seven."

"Well, when you're done cleaning, go into seclusion."

"Thank you, Master."

"No need for that. By the way, where are Xiao Jin and Xiao Xiao?"

"The old patriarch caught them and took them to pick mushrooms, saying that they were to be stewed with chicken for the master."

“Let Ben Ling go and take a look.” Before he finished speaking, Shang Liangshan disappeared on the spot.

The next second, he appeared in the kitchen of the temple and saw the old patriarch and others were extremely busy, even Liu Weizi was taking the lead in cooking.

"Master." The little fox who was plucking the feathers of a pheasant was the first to notice Shang Liangshan's arrival. He jumped up in surprise and pounced on him, causing the feathers to fly everywhere and all over the old patriarch's face.

Then, Shang Liangshan's Taoist robe was also stained with chicken feathers. He held the little fox that looked like a porcelain doll and said helplessly: "I have been studying with the Third Elder for so long, but my temper is still so immature."

"Hehe, I'm only three years old. Aunt Mei said I grow older every ten years." Xiaoli said with a laugh.

"But Xiaoli, you look only five or six years old." Yihuo blurted out.

"That's right." The little fox was so cute that it made a group of men laugh.

Her cute appearance made Shang Liangshan couldn't help but pinch her pink face.

The dinner was very sumptuous and the conversation was very relaxing and enjoyable.

After three rounds of drinking, Yifeng couldn't help himself and asked Liu Weizi about the situation in the outside world.

"The situation is not good. Strong ghost beast tribes continue to appear, and with them come powerful ghost beasts. As far as Basin Dao knows, there are no less than five level nine ghost beasts that have appeared. They fought fiercely with our sect elders in the void for several days and ended in a draw." Liu Weizi said this, took a sip of wine with a serious expression, and continued:

"When I came here, Taoist Xuan Ce, who had come out of retreat, told me that if Liangshan came out of retreat, I should tell him that the Hundred Thousand Mountains needed to make a big move. Whether they were willing or not, they had to fight a big battle with the ghost beasts, suppress the ghost beast army, contain the ghost beast army, and compete for luck."

"I'm afraid this can't be done." The old patriarch shook his head, because the strength of the Forgotten Township does not allow it to take the lead.

"There should be a contact person who can unite all the forces in the Shiwan Mountains and launch a counterattack against the ghost beasts in the Shiwan Mountains." Yifeng guessed.

"Master Xuan Ce's intention is to unite the village strongholds, mountain strongholds, and the Youye Palace to form a joint army, and attack the ghost beast army together with other joint armies." Shang Liangshan said this and looked at Yifeng and asked, "Weren't our ghost beast opponents crippled by the coalition forces?"

"They were crippled, but after a year of recuperation, their strength has been restored to its peak, and their numbers are still increasing. In addition, because they are fighting on their own, the ghost beasts are expanding their territory recklessly, and are about to wreak havoc on the hunting grounds."
