Chapter 490: Turbulence in the Temple
"Oh it's you!"

When Lu Ping saw the old man appear in front of him, he immediately felt relieved.

The visitor was none other than the old swordsman who had hitched a ride with them a few days ago, One Hundred Years of Loneliness.

I remember that he said that day that he was coming to discuss swordsmanship with Kurong, and later got off the car in Dali City. I guess he must have been staying in Tianlong Temple during this period of time.

Lu Ping put down his chopsticks and looked at Hundred Years of Solitude curiously: "Didn't you arrive several days ago? Why haven't you left yet? Does the sword fight take so long?"

Could it be that the "important matter" that the novice monk just mentioned is related to him?

Hundred Years of Solitude stared and said, "I haven't seen Ku Rong for several years. It's normal for him to let me stay for a few days, right?"

"Besides, sword fighting is something that takes a lot of time. We share our experiences in martial arts in recent years with each other in order to help each other make further progress. It's not just for the sake of fighting and competing for victory or defeat."

Lu Ping suddenly understood: "No wonder Master Ku Rong is a monk, but he is still willing to compete with you in swordplay. So this is what is going on..."

"Don't talk about me first, what's wrong with you?"

Hundred Years of Loneliness glanced at the two women respectively and finally fell on the food in front of the three people. There was a rare look of astonishment, confusion and puzzlement in his eyes.

Lu Ping said calmly: "As you can see, we are eating."

"Have you eaten? If not, you can sit down and smell it."

One Hundred Years of Solitude was silent for two seconds: "... Normally, shouldn't you invite me to sit down and eat with you?"

"Are you a beggar? Don't you think it's dirty to eat other people's leftovers?!"

Lu Ping couldn't help but roll his eyes at him when he heard that. "If you want to eat, take this lunch box to the kitchen to get your food. I can at most make room for you here."

Hundred Years of Solitude's skills are all in swordsmanship, and his lightness skills are relatively poor, but it is not that difficult for him to climb up the twenty-meter-high tower with a food box.

"Hmph! No need, I've already eaten it."

"If I hadn't just finished my meal and was taking a walk in the temple to digest my food, I wouldn't have happened to see you three sneaky kids."

Hearing this, Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang both lowered their heads in shame and stopped even using their chopsticks.

Although the two were gangsters, they were girls after all. When they were caught doing such a thing, they felt a little shy and embarrassed for a moment.

Lu Ping, however, didn't think there was anything wrong and continued to argue.

"Nonsense!"

"We clearly came in openly, carefully selected the place, and ate here honorably. How come you said it was sneaky?"

Seeing Lu Ping's indignant, self-righteous, impassioned, and neither humble nor overbearing appearance, Hundred Years of Solitude was completely stagnant: "No, kid, are you serious about what you said?"

"Do you really think a normal person could do something like this?"

Lu Ping blinked his eyes. "You are already an adult, but how come you seem to have less experience than me? Haven't you heard about the rumor that the 'Beggar of the North' Hong Qigong sneaked into the imperial kitchen of the Southern Song Dynasty palace to steal food?"

"When people in the Southern Song Dynasty heard about this, who wouldn't be so happy that they admired his courage and means?"

"If others can do it, then of course I can do it too!"

After such a real-life example was brought up, One Hundred Years of Solitude was speechless and had to turn the topic to the two women.

His eyes rolled around, and he immediately came up with an idea. He chuckled and said, "It's ok for you to have sex in the Dali Royal Family Temple, but you even brought two little beauties with you. It's quite romantic, isn't it?"

"Could they be your lovers?"

"But these two girls don't seem to be the three girls who were with you in the carriage that day, right?"

When Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang heard the word "lover", their faces turned red with shame.

But when she heard the words "carriage" and "three women", she instantly forgot her shyness, raised her head, and looked at Lu Ping with curiosity.

Seeing this, Lu Ping chuckled: "I only heard that your sword belongs to the glorious and righteous way before, but now it seems that the rumor must be wrong. How can a person like you wield a sword that is the kingly way?"

"Hmm? What kind of person am I?"

"Of course he is a dishonest person!" "You old devil not only use dirty words, but also harbor evil intentions and are full of evil intentions."

The sarcastic words came out of his mouth, and then he pretended to be regretful and sighed: "Master Ku Rong is a great monk after all, how could he be friends with someone like you?"

Although One Hundred Years of Solitude's words sound normal, they actually imply discord. If Lu Ping, Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang were in a romantic relationship, he would definitely be jealous and angry now.

Therefore, Lu Ping's description of him harboring evil intentions and being full of evil intentions was quite appropriate.

"Hahaha……"

"This is just because of the simple eight words: Birds of a feather flock together!"

Although his plan was discovered, Bai Nian Gu Ji did not feel embarrassed, nor did he care about Lu Ping's bad comments. He just laughed loudly several times and sat down next to the three people.

Could it be that Master Kurong is also a white-cut black?

That really fits in with the 'Ku Rong Gong' he practiced!

"You have been here for a while. How was your sword fight with Master Ku Rong?"

Although Master Kuruo is the strongest in Tianlong Temple, according to the records in the original book, his strength is at most on the same level as Jiumozhi, or even slightly inferior.

Otherwise, when Jiumozhi came to challenge him, he would not have needed to use the Six Meridians Divine Sword together with five other monks to defeat the opponent.

But now, since he has been able to make friends and fight with Hundred Years of Solitude for many years, I think his strength should not be too bad.

"We have played seven games in total these days, and I have four wins and three losses so far."

It seems that the two have similar strengths?

Lu Ping pondered for a moment and asked again, "When we came here just now, we heard the little monk at the door say that there was an important matter in the temple today and he refused to let us in. Could it be because of you?"

"That's not it!"

Hundred Years of Solitude did not think about why the three were "rejected" but still appeared here. He just shook his head and explained the whole story: "A few days ago, someone who called himself the Great Wheel King sent a letter, saying that he wanted to take the sword manual of their Duan family's Six Meridians Divine Sword and burn it for a dead person."

"Calculating the time, it will be these two days."

Mahavairocana...

Is it really Jiumozhi?
"What is the origin of this Mahavairocana?"

According to the setting, Jiumozhi should be the Tubo national teacher, in other words, he is also a foreigner.

The attitude of the Northern Wulin towards foreigners should be to fight and kill them, for example, this is what happened to Qiao Feng. We can't just let Jiumozhi off the hook just because he is a monk, right?

If that's the case, then the underworld is being too lenient towards He Wei!

"I'm not sure either. I just heard that he is a monk from the Western Regions."

"From the Western Regions?"

Lu Ping was stunned for a moment, but soon figured out what was going on.

Judging from his age, Jiumozhi was no more than 30 or 40 years old. When he was born, the Song Dynasty had already recovered its territory from the foreign races, so it was very likely that he had never been involved in the Han people's liquidation of foreign races.

Considering his identity as a monk, perhaps his parents knew that exposing his bloodline could easily bring disaster, so they let him become a monk and practice in a temple in the Western Regions since he was a child.

In the Northern Wulin, the Western Regions are also considered Han territory. There are hundreds of Buddhist temples in the territory, and the methods of cultivation are even more diverse, which is most suitable for hiding one's identity.

For a foreigner like Jiumozhi, as long as he doesn't publicize his background or do evil things in the world, it will be completely fine for him to live a peaceful life.

But now it seems that he is just a monk who can't sit still.

In the original novel, Jiumozhi, because of his handsome appearance, served as Li Qiushui's lover and learned the Little Wuxiang Gong from her. That's why he was so confident that he dared to come to Tianlong Temple alone to cause trouble.

But when Lu Ping met Li Qiu Shui at the bottom of the valley not long ago, he confirmed from her that the Little Wuxiang Gong had not been passed on to outsiders. In other words, the Jiumozhi in this world did not know the Little Wuxiang Gong.

Now that Jiumozhi has taken the initiative to jump out and cause trouble, who gave him the confidence?
