Chapter 58

They booked a three-story restaurant nearby.

Li Youyi originally wanted to order more food, but was politely declined by the white-clothed lay Buddhist, who said that a bowl of vegetarian noodles per person was enough.

Nearly a hundred children filled the three-story building, and even though they were only eating vegetarian noodles, they were all extremely happy.

Although they were Rice People, they also had joys, sorrows, and joys.

Li Youyi and Zhao Zhizhuo had long been hungry, and everyone was eating vegetarian food, so how could they eat big fish and meat? So, they each ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles, sat at a table by the window on the second floor, and ate with the white-clothed lay Buddhist.

After Li Youyi drank a mouthful of hot noodle soup, he humbly asked for advice, "Lay Buddhist, what kind of Buddha is the Amitabha you are reciting?"

The white-clothed lay Buddhist put down her bowl and chopsticks, sat straight, and said solemnly, "Amitabha is both the Buddha of Infinite Light and the Buddha of Infinite Life, representing light, life, and space. He is the leader of the Pure Land Buddha Kingdom in the infinitely distant place."

"His light can illuminate the Realm of the Dead."

"His life is endless."

"The Pure Land world transformed by his palm is the vastest habitat in the world. His magic power is infinite, and his supernatural powers are infinite."

The Amitabha in this world actually has many similarities with the one in Earth's mythology and legends.

Then the white-clothed lay Buddhist ate the vegetarian noodles quietly.

When eating noodles, everyone's eating appearance is generally not good-looking.

But she, neither had the affectation of chewing slowly, nor the ferocity of wolfing down, and although her appearance was ordinary, the way she ate had a kind of pleasing tranquility.

Li Youyi watched for a long time, and actually forgot what he wanted to continue to ask.

After drinking all the noodle soup, she wiped her mouth clean, smiled slightly at Li Youyi who had been staring at her, and said a thank you.

A moment later, the white-clothed lay Buddhist gathered all the Rice Person children outside the restaurant. When she left, she looked up at Li Youyi who was watching her on the second floor, her tone still so gentle: "I originally wanted to do a business deal to make money to raise the children, but since you treated me to noodles, I won't kill you today! Let's do it another day!"

Li Youyi was originally immersed in the other party's infectious gentle smile, but suddenly heard this, as if he had fallen from a sunny mountain peak to a dark and cold ice cave in an instant, and the cold air almost froze him stiff.

It turns out that the other party was waiting for him by the moat earlier, or was preparing to go to the house where he lived to kill him.

Zhao Zhizhuo was not much better than him, his face turned pale, and he slapped his forehead: "I should have been alert earlier. Besides Coffin Mountain, where are there any Buddhist practitioners in Lizhou? She must be a... killer... from the Five Funerals Temple."

The word "killer" was spat out from his mouth in a very low voice.

One of the three great barbarian thieves in the Southern Territory, Coffin Mountain Xu Fu's belly, is a behemoth that even the Li Zu has to pay tribute to every year.

One hundred thousand Buddha-Crossing Thieves, who in the seven provinces of the Southern Territory is not afraid?

Zhao Zhizhuo stared at the white-clothed figure walking away, and whispered again: "The Five Funerals Temple is the most terrifying killer organization in the underground underworld of Licheng. It is said that the power behind it is Coffin Mountain. I actually couldn't detect any magic power fluctuations on her. I'm afraid her cultivation base is far superior to ours."

"Fortunately, we were generous enough today, otherwise it would be dangerous!"

Li Youyi's face changed again and again, and he hurriedly got up and called out from afar: "Next time you beg for alms, continue to look for me, and I will treat you to noodles another day... as much as you want..."

The white-clothed lay Buddhist who had already walked to the gate bridge looked back at the second floor, just smiled, and took the group of children toward the city.

At the city gate, not surprisingly, she was stopped by four soldiers from the city defense camp.

"Puff!"

"Puff!"

The next moment, the four city defense camp soldiers were all cut in two by a red cassock.

The surging blood continued to seep from the cracks of the wooden gate bridge into the moat.

A nearly two-meter-tall monk with a beard put on the red cassock again and bowed respectfully to the white-clothed lay Buddhist: "Uncle Master, Junior Nephew was delayed by something, and should have come to the city gate to pick you up half an hour ago."

"It doesn't matter, I didn't wait long, just waited for the time of a bowl of noodles."

The white-clothed lay Buddhist and the red-cassocked monk took nearly a hundred Rice Person children and walked into Licheng swaggeringly.

"Uncle Master, something big happened in Burial Immortal Town. The news spread on a small scale last night, and it couldn't be suppressed at all this morning. Many powerful figures have left the city and rushed over." The monk reported in a low voice.

"Rumble!"

A large number of city defense camp soldiers rushed over, but when they saw the appearance of the red-cassocked monk and met the other party's cold and sinking gaze, the officer leading the fire fox exotic beast lowered his head first, not daring to look at him.

In the end, the city defense camp soldiers just went to collect the bodies.

Li Youyi no longer had any mood to eat noodles: "Someone must have placed an order at the Five Funerals Temple. It's either Yang Yun or the Changlin Gang."

"The month hasn't arrived yet, how dare they?"

Zhao Zhizhuo thought quickly, then got up: "I'll go into the city now. No matter what, I must figure out the situation and come back before dark."

After Li Youyi parted with Zhao Zhizhuo, he returned to the house.

Under the old poplar tree in the front yard, Cai Yutong was wearing a veil, her dress was much cooler, a light spot on her forehead was flickering, and she was using mental power to communicate with a turtle spider, just like training a dog, using an index finger to command it to stand up and sit down.

She had extremely high talent in the spirit god path, realized spirit light in three days, opened the Yintang spirit world in ten days, learned insect script in twenty-two days, subdued the first turtle spider, and officially became an insect controller.

And Li Youyi still hadn't had the first ray of spirit light.

According to the senior of the spirit tablet, he was not quiet, thought about too many things, and had too many distracting thoughts in his heart, so the "flash of spirit light" never came.

"Senior Brother, tell everyone to pack up their things quickly. Before the city gate closes at dark, follow me into the city."

Li Youyi didn't know how many people's lives the Changlin Gang or Yang Yun had bought, and didn't know if those killers would kill innocent people indiscriminately. Now he could only take everyone to the Cang Li clan school to avoid disaster.

But he was also worried about being ambushed on the road.

If a top-hundred warrior like Yao Zhengsheng killed one, the consequences would be extremely serious.

Zhao Zhizhuo would definitely go to Li Songlin or Cang Li. If the Cang Li tribe could send a group of experts to escort them, it would be much safer!

Everyone naturally realized that something big was wrong and immediately went to pack their luggage.

Time passed minute by minute, and all the luggage was packed and sent to the carriage.

Li Youyi sat on the yard wall, mobilized the magic power in his body, transported it to his eyes, ears, and nose, and his perception reached the peak. Soon he smelled the scent of Shi Chuanyu, the flag master of the Changlin Gang, in the wind.

He couldn't see or hear, but he must be nearby.

A moment later.

On the second floor of the Baoyue Building diagonally opposite, he caught a glimpse of Yao Zhengsheng's figure flashing by.

There were several other extraordinary light footsteps mixed in the crowd on the street.

Fortunately, Zhao Meng, who was sitting in the yard, still had a deterrent force.

Until the sun slanted west, Zhao Zhizhuo finally returned with a team of white-clothed cavalry. They were the personal guards of the Young Patriarch Cang Li, with twenty riders. Their cultivation base was not high, but they had symbolic significance, and not everyone dared to move.

Zhao Zhizhuo's expression was cold and worried: "After entering the city, I went to the clan school first, but I missed it. Then I went to the clan mansion and met the Young Patriarch to know that a major event that shocked all the high-level officials of Licheng happened last night, and Senior Jia Shou had already left the city."

"The murder notice of the Five Funerals Temple was issued this morning and then quickly spread to all cities in Lizhou. The reward is a Five Seas Pill. This is mostly Yang Yun's handwriting; only his news is so fast."

Li Youyi said, "No reward for others?"

Zhao Zhizhuo shook his head, "In my opinion, compared to the loss of the Changlin Gang, Yang Yun cares more about the Fourth Young Lady's attitude toward you."

With definite news, Li Youyi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, the reward is only a Five Seas Pill. I was surprised that the white-clothed lay Buddhist was alarmed, and I thought the Yang clan had issued a must-kill order. You said, is that white-clothed lay Buddhist really a powerful figure?"

Zhao Zhizhuo's expression became serious: "Brother Li, you have to believe in my ability to see people. I once reached the peak of the Five Seas Realm. Being able to make me misjudge, that white-clothed lay Buddhist is definitely not an ordinary person."

"Don't be suspicious. In Yang Yun's eyes, you only have a seven-spring cultivation base. Being able to take out a Five Seas Pill as a reward is already a very high treatment."

"The appearance of that white-clothed lay Buddhist was purely an accident. She doesn't look like a normal person at all. One moment she is compassionate, and the next she wants to kill. Treating her to a bowl of noodles, she doesn't kill anymore. This person has some problems!"

Zhao Meng said, "Then are we going into the city or not?"

Zhao Zhizhuo said, "Everyone should go into the clan school to avoid it. Something big happened in Burial Immortal Town, and the Young Patriarch has to rush over immediately. With Jia Shou and the Young Patriarch both away, it's too dangerous for us to stay in the suburbs."

"What big event happened in Burial Immortal Town?"

Li Youyi thought of many things in an instant. After all, the strange things he encountered there a month ago were still vivid in his mind.

Zhao Zhizhuo shook his head, indicating that the Young Patriarch did not tell the details.

Li Youyi sent everyone out of the house, suddenly grabbed Zhao Zhizhuo's hand, and said solemnly: "Old Zhao, I have handed all my companions to you, take good care of them for me."

Zhao Zhizhuo's brows tightened: "You are not coming with us?"

Li Youyi glanced at the directions of Baoyue Building and the backyard, and smiled pretending to be relaxed: "I feel they won't let me into the city. If I go to the clan school, where will they have a chance to take action?"

"Youyi, you said it yourself, the two senior brothers will die together and live together." Zhao Meng said.

Although Cai Yutong didn't know what happened, she still turned back with Zhao Meng.

Li Youyi hardened his heart and said: "The Five Seas Pill is too attractive to them! If I travel with you on this road into the city, it will do no one any good. I will bring slaughter to you, and you will become my burden, leaving me no way to escape."

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, wait for me to come back, and then we will no longer be afraid of anyone."

After Li Youyi left this sentence, he flashed and fled toward the route he had planned in his mind at the fastest speed, like a residual shadow, rushing toward the Suihe River.

Almost in an instant, many figures on the surrounding streets chased after him like arrows leaving the string.

Some shuttled through the crowd, and some flew on the roofs.

There was also a golden carriage pulled by a silver-horned elk, running wildly on the street, intercepting and killing.

Li Youyi had long discussed with Coffin Senior that after Zhao Zhizhuo recovered his eight-spring cultivation, he would send Zhao Meng, Cai Yutong, and others to the Li Zu clan school. Only in this way could he safely go to the Cang King Tomb and take another path to become a God-Hidden Person faster.

Today's sudden situation forced him to advance all his plans.

At this moment, the setting sun is like blood.

At this moment, the night and the murderous intent are infinitely approaching.
