I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 115: Fairy in the Painting - Five Thief Generals

The moment the door opened, the name was called out, and the seventy-two bronze lamps in the hall lit up one after another, illuminating the two rows of pillars surrounded by golden dragons, and the skinny man squatting on the throne at the end.

Lu Wujiu looked around, his expression unchanged as he stepped inside.

The hall was empty and the sound of footsteps echoed. In a trance, he felt as if he was reincarnated in the human skin book again and stepped into the emperor's palace.

"Hey, fellow Daoist, what do you think of my Jiuxiao Temple?"

Before he even got close, the skinny man squatting on the throne couldn't wait to ask questions.

Lu Wujiu pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, "Nine palaces connected by clouds, the gates of heaven open, it can be called a paradise on earth!"

"Hahaha……"

The skinny man's eyebrows suddenly became joyful. He jumped off the throne as nimbly as a monkey and walked over quickly: "Are you kidding me?"

Lu Wujiu said: "Of course not!"

"Hehe, it's true that only people of the same trade know how to appreciate!" The thin man became more and more excited. He circled around Lu Wujiu, looking him up and down, and said, "I didn't expect that the famous guest official of Lao Lu Temple, Lu Wujiu, is also a fairy in painting! I am truly lucky to meet him today."

Lu Wujiu's face was calm, but thunder was rising in his heart. This was the first time someone revealed his identity.

"You still don't know what to call your friend?"

"Hehe, I'm Yuan Mochan, a poor Taoist. Actually, we're from the same hometown as each other, and we're both from Lao Lushan. It's just that I recognize you, but you don't recognize me!"

Lu Wujiu looked at Yuan Mochan intently and saw that his facial features were lively and his aura was as light as dust. It was impossible to tell his cultivation level at all. He looked more like an ordinary person.

There are only two possibilities for this situation!

Either it is a phantom body prosthesis;
Or their cultivation level is far superior to his.

"I still don't know where the Youxian Mansion is. Counting on my fingers, I have been staying at Laolu Mountain for a year. It is not surprising that a Taoist immortal like you has heard of me."

"Hahaha, who in the painting has mastered the secret of immortality and shed all the worldly desires? Not to mention that Daoist Friend Lu has only been a guest at Mount Laolu for a year, even the God of Mount Laolu, who has lived in the mountain for a hundred years, wouldn't know where I am!"

Lu Wujiu asked curiously, "May I ask, fellow Taoist, why did the saint appear in the world today?"

The phrase "Sage manifests himself in the world" greatly pleased Yuan Mochan. He chuckled and said, "It's a rare encounter with one of my kind, so how can I not be excited? By the way, why did you show up at the villager's house today?"

Lu Wujiu was moved when he heard this: "Fellow Daoist, you live in seclusion in Laolu Mountain and have great magical powers. Do you know anything about the theft of villagers during the Xuanyuan Festival in February?"

Yuan Mochan looked surprised: "Are you here to investigate the case?"

"Exactly!"

"Fellow Daoist, you're truly persistent. In February, you sent that brat named Liu Qingtan, and in March, you sent that little demon. I thought you'd given up, but I didn't expect you'd come back again three months later."

Lu Wujiu smiled and said deliberately: "It seems that fellow Daoist knows the truth?"

"I can't say I know the truth, but I can probably guess."

"Oh? Fellow Daoist, may I ask who this thief is?"

"Such a clever and shameless method, who else could it be but a disciple of the Five Thieves General?"

Yuan Mochan said it casually, but it was like a flash of lightning, clearing the clouds for Lu Wujiu to see the sun.

The Five Thieves General, also known as the Thief God, is the ancestor god of the Gentlemen on the Beam, similar to the White-browed God of the Way of Prostitutes.

Because this path is not very glorious, there is no master or ancestral land, and the inheritance is quite obscure. There are occasional rumors in the world, but most of them are true and false.

After all, there are too many people playing the role of thieves, and it is impossible to be sure whether they are the descendants of the Five Thieves Generals.

If the lost property of the villagers was stolen by the disciples of the Five Thief Generals, then everything would make sense.

"Did you see it with your own eyes, fellow Daoist?" "Of course you did! He came in with sneaky eyes and left in a sneaky way, thinking he was unnoticed. I saw the whole thing, but it's a pity I don't know how to perform illusions. Otherwise, if I could have created something and made it public, I'd have shamed him to death!"

Finally, the truth was revealed to Lu Wujiu, who was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "I don't understand. With such magical powers, if you don't steal from princes and nobles or from great sects, what's the point of stealing from villagers?"

"Don't you understand this?"

"Appreciate further details!"

"The thief god's disciples performed the ritual of ascending the steps, which meant they were stealing from all over the world. Although the harder the item, the more effective it is, a thief never leaves empty-handed. Seeing the streets empty, how could one feel comfortable if they didn't steal some?"

Lu Wujiu was speechless.

That's right. If he used a normal person's thinking to apply the way of stealing, it would be impossible for him to figure it out.

"Do you know how to find them?"

"Why, do you want to recover your property?"

"If there's a chance, we'll definitely catch him and interrogate him!"

"Forget it! Unless the Five Thieves General's disciples are caught in the act, it will be difficult to catch them once they succeed in stealing."

"What's the meaning of this statement?"

"The Five Thieves disciples are good at disguising themselves and hiding. Their auras are erratic. If they leave the scene and run into the old emperor again, he might be the master of thieves, the marquis who stole the country!"

Lu Wujiu was speechless. Although he had already given up on this matter in his heart, the sudden news and the feeling of it coming to an abrupt end still made him feel like something was stuck in his throat, making him feel uncomfortable.

He also finally realized that the unconventional ways could continue to be passed down despite the suppression of the orthodox ways, so they must have their own methods and unique skills.

"You really don't have any tricks at all?"

He asked again without giving up.

"Here, this is the face of the five thieves when they were stealing. If you can find it, you'll be considered very capable."

As Yuan Mochan spoke, he stretched out his hand and picked up the wolf hair brush in the air. As the ink faded, a lifelike face emerged.

Lu Wujiu took a deep look at him, then bowed and said, "Thank you, fellow Daoist!"

Yuan Mochan waved his hand: "You're welcome!"

With this support, the atmosphere between the two quickly heated up.

When Lu Wujiu asked about the major events of Lao Lu Temple over the past century, Yuan Mochan knew them all like the back of his hand. After hearing this, Lu Wujiu became more and more certain that this person was indeed from Lao Lu Mountain.

There are many details here that are definitely not something that intelligence dealers can notice.

Only by living here will you remember it inadvertently.

As the atmosphere became increasingly harmonious, Yuan Mochan casually said, "By the way, I still don't know what the Friendship World looks like?"

Lu Wujiu laughed and said, "Since it is a world in a painting, it is naturally similar. It cannot compare to Daoist friend's Nine Heavens Fairy Palace."

Yuan Mochan said, "Alas, every flower is a world, every tree is a life. By chance, I have gained the privilege of the Nine Heavens Palace. Although it is full of fairy air, it lacks the worldly air. Since you have seen my world, why not show me my Xumi as well and let me broaden my horizons?"

Is this something that can be easily demonstrated?
Lu Wujiu showed some hesitation on his face. Seeing this, Yuan Mochan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, if you don't want to, I won't force you!"

Got it!
Now that he has said this, it would be a bit unreasonable not to show it. After all, he has already shown the world in his paintings.

Thinking of this, Lu Wujiu smiled and said:
"Fellow Daoist, what are you talking about? Since you want to see it, why not show it to me?"
