Chapter 81: Night Tour of the Eighth Rank, Treasures Found in the Cave (15)

Cao Jie looked at the bloodstains in the rain and saw three lines of bright red text outlined in the hazy night.

[Soul aspect: Advisor (gives advice, solves problems, knows a little bit)]

[Experience: Level 2 (69/400)]

[Talent: Concentration LV2 (increases the strength of the sea of ​​consciousness and increases the speed of conceiving a spirit)]

When [Strategist] is upgraded, the talent [Concentration] will be automatically strengthened.

In an instant, Cao Jie felt as if he was bathing in the moonlight, extremely comfortable and relaxed. It was like soaking in a cool stream in the hot summer, with all his pores opened.

It’s even more comfortable than having a massage!
'My level of pregnancy has also improved!'

'Eighth Grade! Walking on a Rainy Night!'

'This improvement speed is no slower than Wu Song's! '

I, Cao Jie, can reach my current level entirely because of my extraordinary natural talents... It's also very hard for me to use my brain and gain experience, okay!
After all these years, whether your realm has improved or not, sometimes you should look for the reason in yourself, okay? Have you practiced seriously?
Cao Jie climbed up Erlong Mountain with brisk steps. Along the way, he saw that the minions on the mountain had completely surrendered and were obedient.

Lu Zhishen fought his way up from the foot of the mountain. As if he was the reincarnation of a Buddhist Vajra, he would kill gods and ghosts when he met them, and break through any barriers he encountered. His terrifying fighting power was imprinted in the hearts of everyone in Erlong Mountain and they would never forget it in their lifetime.

More importantly, Deng Long was also unpopular with the people. He only cared about his own freedom and had recruited a dozen evil leaders to help him commit crimes.

The other minions can just barely make ends meet.

Could the change of ownership of Erlong Mountain be more miserable than when Deng Long was the eldest brother?
In fact, compared with your life, suffering is nothing.

There is great terror between life and death. Now that we have escaped death, no one has the heart to resist.

This is the best time to win people's hearts.

The rain had stopped and the mountain was brightly lit. Cao Jie could hear someone giving a speech from afar.

Looking closely, it was none other than Zhang San, the "street rat". He stood beside Lu Zhishen, raising his arms and shouting:
"... With Master Lu's arrival, Erlong Mountain will be at peace; with Master Lu's arrival, Baozhu Temple will be able to regain its former glory..."

Zhang San shouted until his throat was hoarse. Seeing that his master Lu Zhishen was still standing there grinning foolishly, he could not help but pull his monk robe and give him a wink.

"Cough cough!"

Lu Zhishen coughed twice, thinking about what his brother had said during the training, but he had forgotten most of it. He stretched out his carrot-thick fingers and scratched his bald head, saying in a muffled voice:

"I came to Erlongshan to do only three things: fairness, fairness, and damn fairness..."

"..."A group of younger brothers who had just surrendered looked at him as if he were a god, with clear and stupid eyes.

What is fairness?
It’s not the ancients’ fault that they were naive or easily fooled. It’s just that it was a problem of their knowledge and that they had never received any education, so it was naturally easy for them to incite others.

As long as you give them food, they will follow you. If you give them salary, they will be like chicken blood, going through fire and water without blinking an eye.

"Hehe, I... I..." He felt that it would not be difficult to charge into battle with a Zen stick in hand. But wouldn't it be difficult for me to just talk?
Zhang San slapped his forehead with his hand and said, "Master, why are you stuttering?"
"What is fairness? It means that if you do work, you will be fed. If you rob someone, you will be divided into gold according to your merits.

What is fairness? If you are bullied or your money is robbed, tell Master Lu and he will take care of it for you.

What is fairness? If Master Lu gets a piece of meat, then the brothers will definitely not be left without a sip of soup..."

"This is the Vajra Master descending to earth! Please, Vajra Master, protect us..."

"May Vajra Bodhisattva bless you!" The minions knelt on the ground and worshipped Lu Zhishen as if he were a Bodhisattva.

"Get up, don't kneel!"

Lu Zhishen slammed the Zen stick in his hand and shouted, "Follow me, kneel to heaven, to earth, to your parents. No one is worthy of your kneeling, not even me."

"Vajra Master!"

"Stand up, don't kneel... Oh, that's right!" Who is born a robber? Who doesn't want a wife and children and a warm bed?

I just can't survive anymore, so I have to rebel.

Seeing that everyone had surrendered, Cao Jie no longer showed up.

Lu Zhishen will soon be in charge of Erlong Mountain, so just leave all the big and small matters to them.

There is no need to say more about how "Street Rat" Zhang San, "Grass Snake" Li Si and others have won the hearts of the people.

Cao Jie, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and others gathered in the abbot's temple of Baozhu Temple because someone had revealed a cave whose entrance was in Deng Long's bedroom.

"Brother, wait a moment. I will go down and check it out first."

As he spoke, he lifted up the meditation bed, and saw a large hole underneath. Under the hole was a basement that was dug out from a natural cave.

Not long after, Lu Zhishen came out with a torch in his hand, and said with a grim expression: "Deng Long, it would be too easy for him to be killed..."

"What's inside?"

"Brother, go down and take a look! They are all miserable people!"

Cao Jie looked around and saw that the walls were all paved with stone bricks. He knocked on them with his hands but could not hear any hollow sound.

After walking for a while, cages appeared one after another.

In each cage, there was a scantily clad woman, huddled up pitifully.

The main room of the cave is covered with animal skins, and a statue of Water and Moon Guanyin stands against the wall, looking at all living beings with compassion.

I think this is the place where Deng Long held the Wuzhe Conference.

"Zhi Shen, release all those women! Those who are willing to return home can send some money back home, and those who are unwilling to return home can be given a job in the mountains, such as cooking and washing, but they cannot be bullied anymore."

"Don't worry, brother. I'm here and I won't let them be bullied again."

Cao Jie stood for a moment, and suddenly looked at the palm of the Water Moon Guanyin, and felt a strange power emanating from her palm.

The source of that power was a milky white stone bead the size of a goose egg held in his hand.

"That is?"

Wu Song also noticed something unusual, and with a leap he took the stone bead down steadily.

"Brother, it seems like a treasure."

Cao Jie took it and looked at the flame, he saw that the milky white light was swirling like clouds, which was extremely magical.

"Hoju Temple, Hoju! This is probably what they are talking about."

As for what its function is, Deng Long is dead and left no books to explain it, so we can only figure it out on our own.

Sitting cross-legged under the statue of Water Moon Guanyin, Cao Jie played with the precious pearl. His spirit leaped out from the top of his head. Sparkling starlight instantly filled the entire grotto, which was magnificent.

When Wu Song saw the soul condensed by the moonlight, his thick eyebrows raised.

It has only been a short time since my brother reached the eighth level of the God of Pregnancy Rainy Night.

"Brother's talent in conceiving a spirit is far stronger than refining essence and nourishing qi!"

Under the moonlight, the orb floated in the air, and little by little its spiritual tentacles penetrated into the milky white mist.

Cao Jie was startled, and felt that his soul had entered the fairyland, and countless female bodhisattvas appeared around him...
