Episode 157: A Fateful Meeting

[Fourth update, please subscribe, monthly ticket support!]

After leaving Wang Erlang, Jiang Chen did not delay at all. He followed the breath left by the man in blue and followed it all the way. After a few days, he actually came to a huge temple:

"Cihang Hall!"

Jiang Chen saw the magnificent temple in front of him for a moment, and suddenly felt an unprecedented threat. The two auras burst into exchange for a moment. He felt his soul shaking, and almost subconsciously moved a space and retreated for several miles.

If it is another temple, he dares to enter and explore, but unless his cultivation level can be further improved, he can cultivate the Yang Shen to a perfect and solid state, or be accompanied by top experts, he will not dare to enter and explore easily even with his current Taoist martial arts.

Is it fear? Maybe, maybe this is the intersection of fate and it is never avoidable!

Standing on the top of a hill several miles away, Jiang Chen looked at Cihang Hall from afar. Although the distance was far away, he could still clearly feel the terrifying aura emitted from the magnificent hall. He knew very well in his heart that the master of this aura was his destined enemy: Cihang Pudu!

Insects have weak lives, but they often have extraordinary talents. Once they become monsters, their strength is often terrifying. Centipedes are the best among them!

Although Jiang Chen has achieved success in his cultivation, he is not sure of winning against ordinary monsters who have practiced for thousands of years, let alone centipede demons who have practiced for more than a thousand years. Unfortunately, Cihang Pudu, his destined strong enemy, is just a thousand-year centipede demon who has become a climate!

"It seems that if you want to defeat the enemy, you have to go to Lanruo Temple to find Yan Chixia for help." His thoughts rolled in his heart. Before he knew it, he thought of this. In the original plot, the thousand-year-old centipede spirit Cihang Pudu was killed by Zhiqiu Yiye and Yan Chixia. Although Zhiqiu Yiye was bravely killed in the end, he was no longer the original Zhiqiu Yiye. His Taoist martial arts are better than Zhiqiu Yiye. I believe that as long as he and Yan Chixia join forces, there will still be a great chance to kill Cihang Pudu in one fell swoop.

After a moment, Jiang Chen searched for a land for a rest, and because of his old enemy, he seemed to have broken the bottleneck of cultivation. He had a sense of the moment and was in seclusion for two or three months before returning. During this period, although he had been busy tracking the traces of the man in blue, he had also learned a lot of news intentionally or unintentionally, including the location of Lanruo Temple, which was not elsewhere, but in the mountains in the suburbs of the north of Jinhua City.

He ran all the way, not afraid of the wind and sun. However, for a few days, Jiang Chen had already returned to Jinhua City. It was just after noon. He had been traveling for several days. He was hungry and tired at this time. He was not picky at the moment and just found an inn to have dinner in the city. Not to mention anything else, the lobby of this inn is often the most informed place. He could hear a lot of information with just a little means.

Those who do business lament that the world is difficult, those who go around the world say that the world is unfair, and scholars are indignant that the court is incompetent... In short, even Jiang Chen, an outsider, feels powerless in this world.

To be honest, he has been in this world for three years. Although he has stepped out of Kunlun Villa to do a lot of things to punish evil and eliminate evil, his effect is limited in the whole world. After all, this is a world where demons are rampant and cultivation is prevalent. His cultivation is far from enough to suppress the world, so he naturally cannot change the world.

"The strength is not enough after all!" Jiang Chen picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He always felt that the wine was tasteless and was irritated, so he put the wine glass in his hand again.

At this moment, a young scholar carrying a book basket came in at the door. Although the shopkeeper disliked his clothes and was not a rich man at first glance, since he opened the door to do business, he had no reason to refuse customers to enter the store. Therefore, he still called out attentively: "Come in the guest, should you be the best or stay in the room?"

Before the scholar could reply, he was too busy to greet the guy and said, "Agen, are you still here to salute the customer?" Then he turned around and promoted the scholar, "We have a room in our store..."

The scholar was startled by the shopkeeper's attentiveness, and quickly interrupted him and introduced himself, "No, no, I am not here to stay. My name is Ning Caichen, and it was sent by Ji Baozhai to collect the accounts!"

"Ning Caichen?!" Jiang Chen drank a sip of wine into his mouth. Before he could swallow it, he couldn't help but squirt it out. Although he knew that he would meet this person one day, he never expected that this day would come so suddenly. However, he traveled through several worlds and experienced more such experiences, so he quickly controlled his emotions.

In a blink of an eye, the guy named Agen heard that Ning Caichen was not here to stay, and his face immediately became cold: "Cave the accounts?" He snorted coldly and threw Ning Caichen's bookcase to the ground.

"Oh!" Seeing this, Ning Caichen hurriedly ran over and helped the bookcase up, and in a hurry hit Jiang Chen's table, and knocked a bottle of wine down. Fortunately, Jiang Chen reacted with agility and reached out to catch the bottle. He quickly said with an apology: "I'm so embarrassed, I'm rude."

"It's okay." Jiang Chen is not a stingy person. Looking at the legendary scholar who was on par with Xu Xian in front of him, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Scholar, I'd better sit down and drink a drink together when I see you?"

Ning Caichen saw Jiang Chen wearing black clothes and red sword on his back, and knew that he was an alien who was traveling around the world. He immediately bowed and said, "The Lord invites you warmly. Xiaosheng shouldn't have refused, but now Xiaosheng has something to do, so he can't say he has to accept it."

"That's a pity." Jiang Chen did not force it, and immediately let him turn around and walk towards the counter.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper opened the drawer for the money, but he still spoke reluctantly: "I said, why do you Jibaozhai send different people to collect the bill every time?"

Ning Caichen smiled flatteringly and said, "After the last time the person collected the account, he was killed by someone on the road, so now it's me..."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Oh, anyway, you will be killed sooner or later on the way. Why not just take advantage of me and forget it!" He waved his hand and said to Ning Caichen as if he was driving a fly: "Don't accept it, don't accept it!"

"Stop kidding!" Ning Caichen was speechless. He quickly took out the account book that Jibaozhai had kept for the store below, but he forgot something. The wind and sun were blowing, the rain and snow were pouring on his own, but he could bear it, but how could he bear it? He took it out and saw that it was soaked in the rain. The recorded numbers turned into ink and were covered in balls. Who could recognize the account with this thing?

Ning Caichen looked through a few pages of the account book, and his scalp became a little numb, and he said intimidatingly, "Oh no!" But fortunately, he was wise and it was not in vain that the boss of Jibaozhai promoted him to collect the accounts. Ning Caichen held the account book in his arms, pretending to be nothing, and said to the shopkeeper of the teahouse, "Boss, can I see the stubs on your teahouse?" He was afraid that the shopkeeper would not believe it, so he added: "This is the new regulations for Jibaozhai to collect the accounts!"

However, Ning Caichen was smart, but the shopkeeper of the teahouse was even more cunning. Seeing the other party’s evasive words and vaguely eyes, he felt suspicious and asked: “Is it the new regulations? Please show me the account book first!”

He ignored Ning Caichen's argument and tried to defend himself. He reached out and snatched the account book from the scholar's arms. Ning Caichen quickly blocked the shopkeeper's vision with his hand and said anxiously: "No, I can't look!"

But in just a moment, the sharp-eyed shopkeeper found that the problem was wrong. He scolded: "What is this account? It's black and messy. Are you Jibaozhai collecting the accounts with this kind of thing?"

Ning Caichen snatched the account book back and said helplessly: "The account book is wet, but if I can't receive the account, I have no money to go back..."

But the shopkeeper obviously had no intention of sympathizing with him, so he quickly called his friend Agen to throw Ning Caichen's things on the ground. Jiang Chen originally wanted to come forward to help, but when he thought of what happened later, he endured it again. It was Ning Caichen's disaster, but wasn't his fate?

Ning Caichen said helplessly: "Boss, just help."

At this time, the shopkeeper of the teahouse came to the forefront. He walked out from behind the counter and smiled and said, "Young man, since your account book does not have my account, that means I don't owe you money? You want to cheat, if you don't leave, I will send you to the yamen!"

As he said that, he pushed Ning Caichen out of the door. Poor this scholar was already exhausted and exhausted all the way. He couldn't stop the shopkeeper from pushing hard. He saw that he was about to fall, but he felt a strong force behind his back. Then he was in a fog. When he realized that he was already sitting in front of a table in the store, and opposite him was Jiang Chen's familiar smile: "Scholar, it seems that you can't get the account today. Why don't you have a drink with me?"

"This..." Ning Caichen hesitated for a while, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but looking at the table full of food and drinks, his long-awaited belly but without any bones started to scream. At that moment, he smiled awkwardly and said, "It's better to obey your orders than respect. Since the Lord has repeatedly invited you to you, the young master will be polite."

"Ha!" Hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but chuckled: "You scholar are a little interesting. You are Ning Caichen, right? I know Qiu Yiye, a scholar from Kunlun School. Since I invite you to drink, I naturally don't want you to be too polite, otherwise wouldn't it be disappointing for nothing?"

While chatting and laughing, Ning Caichen couldn't help but eat and drink. He was so hungry. After a while of eating and filling his stomach, Jiang Chen wanted to invite him to stay, but he insisted on not accepting it. He called his friend Agen to ask: "Brother, do you know where there is a place nearby that can be temporarily occupied by people?"

"Do you want to live in a place that doesn't cost money?" Agen immediately sneered with some malicious intentions: "Then go to Lanruo Temple in the north of the city!"

Lanruo Temple.........As soon as Ning Caichen said this, before he could react, a gust of cold wind blew by, and the hot early summer seemed to have turned into the cold winter month in an instant, and the people around him also scattered in an instant......
