I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 43: The Great Sage of Settlement of Accounts
The sound of laughter and chatter in the tavern made Lu Wujiu look strange:
——The head of Huanxi Hall is actually a woman?

That’s right, there have always been more women than men in Huanxi Hall, so it’s not surprising that the hall master is a woman.

But in this case, what is the relationship between A Ni and the leader of Huanxi Hall?
Full of doubts, Lu Wujiu ended his drinking.

When he returned to the inn, he called Cen Ying and asked her in detail.

"The Joy Hall Master is a woman?"

"Yes!"

"Then why is she and A Ni..."

Cen Ying was stunned for a moment, then she covered her mouth and laughed secretly, which made Lu Wujiu confused.

"You are an upright person, but you may not know that the Fangzhong School's dual cultivation method has three paths of practice. They are the Pure Yang Qian Dao, the Pure Yin Kun Dao, and the Yin and Yang He Dao. Most disciples follow the Yin and Yang He Dao, so it's not surprising that you have this misunderstanding."

"As for the Master of Joyful Hall, he follows the Pure Yin and Kun Dao. I don't quite understand this either, but I remember my lecturer once saying it's a method of reversing yin and yang, taking yin and returning to yang, like a white tiger lying in a pond or a blue dragon sleeping in fire. It cultivates a true jade appearance, and the immortal dances outside the body."

Lu Wujiu blinked and thought, is this possible?
"I want to find a decent family to entrust A Ni to. Do you have any recommendations?"

"The Immortal wants to send A Ni away?"

"That's right, I'm a wanderer, it's inconvenient to bring it with me."

"But, A Ni is too beautiful. She'll easily attract attention wherever she goes. I don't know where I can find shelter for her! Unless she joins a sect, but she's already practicing the Flower and Willow Demonic Path. No sect will take her in."

Cen Ying looked worried:
"If the Immortal Master doesn't mind, why not take me back to the sect and make me a cleaning boy? If the Immortal Master doesn't mind, I'm willing to stay with A Ni and teach her how to do things."

Lu Wujiu was silent for a long time, then called A Ni and asked her attitude.

"Ani doesn't want to go back. The hall master always makes me stay in the Sutra Library and not go out. Life is very boring. I want to practice with my brother. Brother, please take me away. I won't be disgusted by fox-smelling clothes anymore."

A Ni said crisply, her mind was simple.

Lu Wujiu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Forget it, then follow me back to the temple for now. From now on, you are not allowed to go out without permission."

A Ni immediately smiled happily: "Thank you, brother."

Lu Wujiu shook his head.

Silent all night.

The next day, A Ni changed into a cloth dress, put on a bamboo hat, rode on a mottled old horse, and left the inn.

Lu Wujiu was not a man who would endure hardship without any regret, so he simply bought a pure black horse in the city, and then rode the horse and led A Ni out of the city.

He walked and stopped along the way, and rested in every city he came across. Every time he did so, he would look for gathering places for independent cultivators like Guyi Lane in Licheng to gather information.

The constant new news coming from Yunsong Mountain made him feel more relaxed.

The fire in Longhua Cave made the Black Dragon King furious, and he started searching the souls of the murderers.

Unfortunately, not to mention the soul of the Left Protector, even the other fox spirits were not found.

There are monsters in the mountains, and no outsiders have ever come in.

The entire incident is shrouded in mystery, like a headless injustice.

Especially the fire in the Sutra Library of Huanxi Hall has cast a veil of mystery over this matter.

Rumor has it that the murderer's real target is Huanxitang, and Longhua Cave is just a bait to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He is really unlucky.

It is said that Huanxitang suffered heavy losses as a result.

Except for a scripture library that was burned to ashes.

A large number of elixirs, magical instruments, curios, medicinal herbs... and even silver were lost in the hall!
Several other disciples were brutally murdered. Rumor has it that they were silenced because they witnessed the real murderer.

Now the leader of the Joy Hall is extremely furious and has issued a hunting order to search the whole world.

However, the reward is extremely high, but there is no information about the murderer, not even whether he is a man or a woman. It's really ridiculous.

When Lu Wujiu heard the news, he was dumbfounded.

Am I also a great sage who can settle accounts? However, the news that came out also indirectly proved that he was safe.

Otherwise, all the bad debts would not be put on his head.

The sun is setting in the west, and the horses are tired.

That day, at dusk, after hurriedly walking, he finally returned to the foot of Lao Lu Mountain.

The road to Lao Lu Mountain was winding and inconvenient for riding a horse, so he simply left his horse at a farmer's house at the foot of the mountain and then climbed the stairs.

When the sky and the earth were dim, he led A Ni and Cen Ying to knock on the door of the temple.

When the disciple on duty saw Lu Wujiu returning, he was overjoyed. He quickly led Lu Wujiu into the Taoist temple and went to inform Liu Qingtan.

Not long after Lu Wujiu returned to his room, Liu Qingtan came over happily.

"Sir, you're back!"

"Hmm! Is the Taoist temple still operating normally during this period?"

"everything is normal!"

As Liu Qingtan spoke, he subconsciously glanced at A Ni standing next to him. Seeing A Ni looking at him, his face flushed and he stammered:
"Well... recently... the old Lushan God has sent people to come a few times and brought some mountain fruits. He said that they are rare in winter. I don't know when the immortal will return, so I sent some over while the fruits are ripe."

"He does have a heart."

Lu Wujiu nodded.

Having experienced Ruan Xing's invitation to the gods, he had already vaguely realized why the old Lushan God was so polite.

——His incense stick is very likely to play a "final role" in helping the Old Lu Mountain God.

"Sir, who is this?"

Liu Qingtan couldn't help but look at A Ni.

"Oh, her name is Nishang. I found an orphan on the street. I felt sorry for her, so I brought her back. Please arrange a place for her to live. From now on, she will be a female Taoist priest in the Laolu Temple and stay there temporarily!"

Nishang is the pseudonym that Lu Wujiu gave to A Ni.

"Nichang greets Fellow Daoist Liu! He often mentioned you to me on the road!"

Nichang smiled sweetly and followed Liu Qingtan's example, bowing with her hands clasped.

This smile was full of charm, and made Liu Qingtan's face blush like an autumn persimmon. She quickly bowed and returned the greeting: "Liu Qingtan greets Fellow Daoist Nishang."

Seeing Liu Qingtan's helpless look, Lu Wujiu couldn't help but use secret methods to check if Nichang had used the Flower and Willow Magic?
However, he did not see any peach blossoms when he looked with his magic eyes, and felt sad in his heart. He thought that Nichang, who came from a bedroom school, might have integrated her charm into every move of her life.

I'll have to talk to Cen Ying later and ask her to hold back so that Liu Qingtan doesn't get so enchanted that he misses his practice.

"It's getting dark, you should take Nichang and arrange a place to stay! Oh, by the way, Nichang has a ghost fairy sister with her. You can blow the whistle to meet her, so that you won't be scared if you open your Yin-Yang eyes one day."

Lu Wujiu ordered.

"Yes, the disciple understands."

Liu Qingtan bowed in response.

He bowed in the direction Lu Wujiu pointed, said words of greeting, and then led Nishang away.

For a moment, the room was empty. Lu Wujiu let out a long breath, then closed the doors and windows, and disappeared into the human skin book in a flash.

The underworld in the book is the same as before, with ghost officials each doing their own job.

If someone who doesn't know the truth breaks in, they might really think it is the legendary path for souls to return.

Lu Wujiu glanced at Fengdu and his figure appeared outside a pavilion.

This is a four-cornered pavilion with a pointed roof. It is nine feet high and three stories high, with flying eaves and pointed corners, red beams and green tiles. Looking up, you can see a plaque hanging on the pavilion with the words "Scripture Pavilion" written on it.
