Chapter 31 Walking with the Monk, a Strange Village

Shen Bai didn't want to cause trouble on this official road. He just wanted to reach the location of the huge locust tree smoothly, and then find the evil spirit in case of emergency.

But from the current situation, it seems that the monk in white is coming towards him.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai put his hands on his waist, gripped the long sword at his waist, and his eyes gradually became sharp.

At this time, the monk in white had already walked in front of Shen Bai, put his hands together, and bowed slightly to Shen Bai.

"I am a humble monk, Wuhua, and I am honored to meet you, benefactor."

Shen Bai raised his eyebrows, but did not loosen his grip on the sword. "Master, we have never met before, why are you suddenly speaking to me?"

Although the official road is remote, in this situation, even a normal person would be very alert if they suddenly came over to talk to him.

Wuhua smiled gently, still keeping his hands clasped together. "Your body is full of blood and energy, so you must be a fellow practitioner. I'd like to ask you, which way is Liu Yunhu going?"

Shen Bai heard this without any expression on his face: "Master, what are you going to do at Liuyun Lake?"

He understood why the monk in white came to see him.

Due to the practice of the magical power of Blood Sword Dance, his own qi and blood have been constantly consumed and replenished, and have become extremely strong. It can be said that he is much stronger than those who practiced.

When a person's qi and blood are strong, there will be a big difference in his appearance and temperament.

It is normal that the white-robed monk can see it.

Wuhua said slowly, "Monks do not tell lies. Liuyun Lake is involved in a strange incident. I have been ordered to go to Liuyun Lake to resolve the strange incident."

"Oh?"

Shen Bai instantly became interested: "I wonder what school Master Wuhua came from. Could this strange thing be related to the school Master Wuhua came from?"

Out of nowhere, a monk came to solve the mystery, and seeing that he had known about the situation in advance, Shen Bai guessed that the giant locust tree was related to Wuhua.

Wuhua nodded and said, "I am a disciple of Xuanxin Temple in Fenglin Prefecture. To be honest, there is a huge locust tree at Liuyun Lake in Shengyun County. That locust tree is related to Xuanxin Temple."

Shen Bai did not speak, but listened patiently.

He knew Wuhua hadn't finished speaking and there was more to come.

Sure enough, after Wuhua finished saying this, he paused for a moment and then continued to explain.

"In an unknown time in the past, an abbot of Xuanxin Temple planted a locust tree in the temple. Over time, the locust tree grew taller and taller."

"Influenced by the Buddhist teachings in the temple, the entire locust tree has transformed from a shady area to a sunny one, and has become a scenic spot in the temple."

"But not long ago, the locust tree was contaminated and dug up by evildoers."

"According to a secret report from Xuanxin Temple, the locust tree fell on Liuyun Lake and has taken root and sprouted, transforming into something strange."

After listening to what happened, Shen Bai touched his chin.

He did not ask how Xuanxin Temple obtained the information.

In fact, it is normal for a state-level city to have its own intelligence network.

Although this is a temple, it is a temple for people who practice cultivation.

These days, who doesn’t put intelligence first?
But what made Shen Bai a little confused was another question.

"Xuanxin Temple is a force in Fenglin State, but why did they only send Master Wuhua here?" Shen Bai asked.

According to Wuhua, the locust tree originally belonged to Xuanxin Temple, but was taken away by the evil people and turned into something strange.

Shen Bai knew about Shang'emen. After all, he had dealt with the enemies related to Shang'emen not long ago.

This force must be strong to be able to survive in the cracks of Maple Forest State.

Xuanxin Temple only sent Wuhua, and Shen Bai felt that it seemed a little inappropriate.

Wuhua nodded and said, "What you said is absolutely right, but Xuanxin Temple has its own difficulties, so I can't say much."

Shen Bai hummed, "If you want to go to Liuyun Lake, Master, you've taken the wrong path. Just keep going along this official road, then get off at the eighth intersection and go straight ahead."

After figuring out the cause and effect of the matter, Shen Bai didn't want to say more.

After all, the two of them only met once, and talking too much would be a bad thing.

Of course, Shen Bai felt that something had happened on this trip to Liuyun Lake. After all, his destination was also Liuyun Lake.

"In that case, I will take my leave."

Wuhua bowed again and turned to leave.

Shen Bai looked at Wuhua's leaving back and fell into deep thought.

A moment later, before Wuhua had completely walked away, Shen Bai spoke.

"Master Wuhua, please stay for a moment."

Wuhua stopped, turned around and looked at Shen Bai strangely, with confusion in his eyes.

"I also want to go to Liuyun Lake on this trip, so why not go with Master Wuhua?" Shen Bai said.

The doubt in Wuhua's eyes deepened.

But after a moment, the doubts were gradually disappearing.

"Could it be that the donor also went there for that huge locust tree?"

Shen Bai nodded: "Yes, this trip is also because of the strangeness of the locust tree. This trouble has come to me recently."

Just now, Shen Bai made this decision.

As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.

Although he and Wuhua Su did not know each other, since they had a common goal, they might as well work together.

This journey is dangerous, especially the huge locust tree. Without knowing the enemy situation, Shen Bai doesn't want to take the risk alone.

This is the difference between imagination and reality.

If the protagonist was according to the story, he would probably have killed his way through it alone.

But reality is always reality, and Shen Bai just wants to be safe.

Wuhua's eyes lit up with excitement: "If the donor accompanies me, it will definitely be a good thing. This trip will definitely be safe."

These words came from Wuhua's mouth, but he didn't exaggerate at all.

When he first met Shen Bai, Wuhua felt that Shen Bai's energy and blood were as vigorous as the sun, which made him feel like retreating.

He is definitely a master hidden in Shengyun County.

Now with Shen Bai's help, this trip will surely be more secure.

Shen Bai nodded and said, "In that case, let's set off."

He was never a person who hesitated. After making the decision, he walked side by side with Wuhua towards Liuyun Lake.

The sky was gradually getting darker, and the figures of the two gradually disappeared on the official road.

……

Huaixi Village is a small village next to Liuyun Lake.

Most people in the village make a living by collecting fish.

At this moment, two strangers came outside the village.

Shen Bai and Wuhua stood outside the village, looking at the lifeless village and frowned at the same time.

It was already completely dark, with only the setting sun lingering in the west.

Shen Bai turned around and said, "In this weather, there should be smoke rising from the chimneys, but the village is so lifeless, there must be something wrong."

Wuhua nodded and said, "Master Shen, let's go in and take a look."

Shen Bai grasped the long sword at his waist and walked into the village with Wuhua.

As soon as he entered the village, Shen Bai saw a corner of the village and frowned.
