Chapter 239: Chapter 131: Sweeping Through Shang Heng District! The Carefree Monk? Initial Ghost?_3
“`
There was only a steaming hot bun left.
However, the untidy monk didn’t mind at all; in fact, he ate it with a bit of glee.
As for the man with the little girl, it was unclear whether he couldn’t refuse in front of his daughter or for some other reason.
None of that was important.
The important thing was that the man had given him a piping hot white bun.
Naturally, the untidy monk had to return the favor with a blessing.
“What should I gift?”
“Give some money?”
After thinking it over, the monk shook his head.
But in just a brief moment, he thought of the perfect thing to give.
He’d bless the man with good official luck.
With the untidy monk’s blessing of official luck, within half a year, the man would surely embark on a path to a career in government.
How high he would climb in the end,
That would depend on the man’s own abilities.
…
After finishing the bun and somewhat filling his stomach,
the untidy monk headed deep into the heart of Qingshi City.
The further he went, the more surprised he seemed.
Information about the Initial Ghost here on the Xuanyuan Continent, no one except him would probably know.
Even for him, it’s not possible to speak of secrets stolen from the ether.
Otherwise, he would be struck dead by the terrifying force of heaven and earth.
What really surprised him was…
Even after entering the city,
and getting infinitely close to the heart of it,
Infinitely close to the Luo Family Ancestral Land,
he still couldn’t sense any trace of the Initial Ghost.
Was the information he had stolen from the heavens wrong?
No, no, no, the heavens don’t err.
Since the heavens don’t make mistakes, then there must be something wrong with the Luo Family.
Was it a Formation sealing away the Initial Ghost’s presence?
But where in the Luo Family Ancestral Land would there be a Formation?
No matter how he pondered, the untidy monk couldn’t come up with an answer.
So, he could only proceed with a bit of curiosity,
towards the direction of the Luo Family Ancestral Land.
…
It was now approaching evening,
and the waning sun began to set.
The last rays of daylight scattered across the land,
shining brightly on the Luo Family Ancestral Land, the rulers of Qingshi City and even the greater Huai Shui County.
Without hesitation, he walked straight towards the Luo Family Ancestral Land.
Of course, the untidy monk was naturally stopped by two servants at the entrance.
“This is the Luo Family Ancestral Land. Strangers and the like, please keep your distance…”
One Luo Family servant glanced at the somewhat shabby looking monk in front of him and couldn’t help but speak out.
The other Luo Family servant, although silent, made his message very clear.
Step back, keep away.
Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.
“This poor monk just wants to have a look inside, what’s wrong with that?” the untidy monk said with a helpless smile.
Yet, the two men in front of him still silently blocked his way.
Having no choice, the untidy monk had to reluctantly depart.
Well, his departure was just an illusion.
The truth was, after the untidy monk slowly vanished from the two Luo Family servants’ view, he sneaked back into the Luo Family Ancestral Land.
And he even found his way to the courtyard where Luo Changfeng was.
Thus, he quietly sat down across from Luo Changfeng under the Stone Pavilion.
“You’re not surprised?”
“Not afraid?”
Looking at Luo Changfeng, who remained calm, merely sipping his tea in silence,
the untidy monk even wondered if he had become invisible.
“As you’re not attacking, what is there for me to fear?” Luo Changfeng said in a low voice.
“Alright then…” The untidy monk let out a somewhat resigned sigh and shifted the topic, “Where have you hidden the Initial Ghost?”
The untidy monk spoke softly.
As for Luo Changfeng,
he really dared not make a move.
In fact, he didn’t even dare to touch.
All laws in this world have cause and effect.
There should have been no contact between him and Luo Changfeng until the end of their lifespans, until death and dissipation of their dao,
But it was curiosity that led him to steal the information about the Initial Ghost from the heavens.
And with the information about the Initial Ghost came connections to the Da Feng Dynasty and the Luo Family of Qingshi City.
Two lines that should not have intersected now suddenly had a crossing point.
Of course, if it were limited to just a meeting, the untidy monk might barely withstand the invisible pressure that heaven was exerting on him.
If he were to strike at Luo Changfeng or act against the Qingshi City Luo Family,
he would be pulverized by the will of the heavens in an instant.
Even if he didn’t strike at Luo Changfeng,
if he had even the slightest thought of revealing any information regarding Luo Changfeng and the Initial Ghost, he would still be pulverized by the will of the heavens.
Thus, for his own survival,
the untidy monk naturally dared not touch Luo Changfeng at all.
“The Initial Ghost?”
Underneath the Stone Pavilion, after pondering for a moment, Luo Changfeng replied softly, “What is the Initial Ghost? I don’t understand what you’re talking about…”
In reality, even if he knew,
he didn’t want to discuss these matters with the strange monk.
“You don’t know what the Initial Ghost is?”
“Then surely you must know about the Gate of Immortality?” the untidy monk said softly.
At this, Luo Changfeng’s eyes narrowed slightly.
After a moment, he replied softly, “What is the Gate of Immortality?”
The untidy monk felt so frustrated his teeth itched, “You little…”
And just as he was about to say something else,
he was suddenly frightened into instantly teleporting several meters back.
