Chapter 202: Answering Questions and Guiding the Way This "Empress Yaohua" has a bit of a temper. No matter how many people come here every day, she will only answer questions for three people at most. Sometimes she will only answer one person, and sometimes she will not answer anyone. Each person can only answer one question at most. At the same time, Yaohua Niangniang's cave is pure and clean. She has never advocated the use of live animals for sacrifice, nor does she advocate extravagance. Although she also accepts meat, it is mainly fruit. Some people say that sometimes Yaohua Niangniang chooses to answer questions based on whose sacrifices she likes. Therefore, in Qingyan County, word gradually spread about some offerings that Goddess Yaohua liked. After asking around, Luo Seng brought some lean honey meat jerky and a few pieces of sugarcane, as well as some maltose and raw rice, and placed them next to the stone tablet. Although those people had not received any answers from "Niangniang Yaohua" before, out of respect for "Niangniang Yaohua", they still left all the offerings and placed them in front of the stone tablet. Most of them are sweet, fleshy, fruity, and rice-based grains. The incense and candles they lit were not extinguished. The monk used the candles they lit to light the incense and candles, and inserted them next to the stone tablet. He also presented a piece of straw paper and a pen:
"I am Luo Seng, from a military family. This time, there are corpse ghosts and monsters causing trouble in Runze County, causing people to be poisoned, so I want to ask the queen for a way to detoxify." The group of rich people behind him were all looking in this direction. Hearing this, they looked at each other in surprise. Shikigami? Poisoning? What's the solution? I had already felt that this man was extraordinary, and after hearing what he said, I felt that he was even more extraordinary. Could it be that this person is really that noble person? "call……" A gust of wind blew out of the cave, like a spring breeze. The Koelreuteria tree trembled in the wind, and fruits like lanterns fell down. The grass leaves around it were also blown, and the piece of paper in front of him was blown up by the wind. But the wind blew the paper back into the cave. It looks quite magical. Even though Luo Seng had been traveling around the world and was used to seeing such monsters, ghosts, and strange things, he still felt a little surprised about such things. The people behind him looked at each other in bewilderment. However, he never expected that after just a few breaths, the piece of paper was blown out of the cave again. In addition to the situation and doubts about Runze County written by Luo Seng, there were seven more words at the bottom. Luo Seng grabbed the paper and looked down: "County Lieutenant, please change the person next to you." Luo Seng was immediately surprised. He came here in a hurry, so how did this "Empress Yaohua" know that he had been a county lieutenant? It seems that this person is indeed worthy of his reputation. but…… Luo Seng fell silent, looked back at Lin Jue, said nothing, stood up, and walked back. Just a gesture of invitation: "Taoist Priest, please!" Lin Jue glanced at the paper in his hand and then stepped forward.
The fox jumped lightly and followed him up, leaving the little sister standing there, not knowing whether she should follow. Lin Jue also came to the stone tablet and first looked at the stone tablet carefully. He saw that it was covered with moss and the handwriting on it was vague and very familiar. It seemed to be somewhat similar to the "golden elixir formula" he had seen before. "I'm afraid it was the work of Empress Yaohua." Lin Jue thought so and put down his bookcase, which also contained a piece of paper and a pen with questions written on the paper. He also brought offerings and incense, the same as what Luo Seng had prepared. However, just as he took out paper and pen from his bookcase and before he placed the offerings or lit the incense and candles, a fresh breeze blew in the cave again. "call……" The breeze rolled up the paper and went straight into the cave. Lin Jue was surprised to see this. The few rich people behind him opened their eyes wide, having never heard of such a thing. Luo Seng also watched and waited silently. After about ten breaths, wind blew out again. A piece of paper was carried in the wind. The Taoist in front of the stone tablet just raised his hand, and the paper fell into his hands. There were a lot of words written on it. The upper half was questions written by Lin Jue, roughly describing how the three of them met a woman in red at night, then the experience of his third senior brother disappearing, and finally asking about the safety of his third senior brother. The lower half of the page had two lines of small characters written on it, which were the answer from the spirit in the cave: “It is fate and blessing, not disaster or misfortune. "Whether it is clever or ingenious, it is hard to tell at the moment." Lin Jue couldn't help but read it out loud, savoring the words. It seemed that the person in the cave had made it clear that the third senior brother was not in danger. This is also consistent with his analysis. Lin Jue finally felt relieved. But in addition to this, this person seems to have revealed more. This requires careful consideration. However, at this moment, Lin Jue had a new doubt in his mind—— It seems that the noble person that Empress Yaohua was waiting for mentioned by several wealthy people before is actually me. Or it could be the Fuyao around you. This person obviously knew that he was coming, and also obviously knew his or Fu Yao's identity, so he treated them with special courtesy. And who is it?
Could it really be Empress Yaohua? Look at this paper... Lin Jue lowered his head. The handwriting here doesn't look like that of Empress Yaohua. Just as I was thinking about it, a voice came from behind me: "Master? Did Lady Yaohua answer you? If she did, would you like us to help you with some ancient poems and verses?" It’s not Luo Seng, it’s that group of rich people. Lin Jue turned around and saw them looking at him eagerly. "Thank you for your kindness." Lin Jue said something, which could be considered as an answer to them. Immediately, a look of surprise flashed across their eyes. They looked at each other, and then when they looked at him and the little junior sister, there was a bit more awe in their eyes. Lin Jue thought about it and asked another question in the cave: "Can I ask you another question?" "call……" The breeze carried the paper into the cave. "This……" The people outside were shocked again. This time, it took only two breaths for the paper to fly out again, with only one more word on it: "Can!" "Thank you." Lin Jue thanked him first, then, according to the rules, he took out a pen from his bookcase, took out the pre-ground ink from the small bottle, wet the tip of the pen, thought for a moment, and began to write on the stone tablet: "I have a magic that can be used as a weapon, but I need gold essence. So I am looking for high-quality gold essence. I once asked my own medium, and he said the direction is northwest. Now I have walked two thousand miles northwest. I want to ask if you know where to find high-quality gold essence?" With a whoosh, the breeze swept the paper away! After a moment, the paper returned. There are only three small words on it: "The Dragon King." Lin Jue read it out loud again, but frowned. The Alligator King... Although this Alligator Dragon King is not a real ancient demon king and does not have the world-destroying power of the Corpse Tiger King in Huizhou, it is able to occupy a corner of Qinzhou and is obviously not a small demon. I guess he can't handle it alone. Maybe my master can come and deal with it, or maybe some of my uncles who are good at fighting magic and eliminating demons can also deal with it, but how long have I been practicing? Even though his cultivation progressed rapidly, he had no confidence.
Lin Jue retracted his thoughts and asked again: "I seem to know you, so I would like to ask you who you are. If you are not comfortable answering, forget it." The breeze comes again, and the paper goes back and forth. Although the person in the cave never showed up and no voice was heard, it seemed that he knew everything and was willing to tell him everything. Even when he asked this question, he still gave an answer. There was a message written on the paper: "A fox of a thousand years old will become a beautiful woman, a snake of a thousand years old will break and then continue, and a rat of a hundred years old will be able to predict the future." Lin Jue had heard this sentence before. But it is still unknown whether this person is a fox or a rat. "Thank you, senior!" Lin Jue didn't ask any more questions, picked up the paper, turned around and threw it, and the paper floated into the hands of the little junior sister with the wind. The junior sister also took it casually. I lowered my head and read carefully, and only after I finished reading it did I breathe a sigh of relief. Then she shook the paper in her hand, and the paper exploded into a ball of fire. When the wind blew, it turned into countless flying catkins and disappeared without a trace. When the people behind him saw this, they were shocked again. Lin Jue did not go back, but turned around to look at Luo Seng. Luo Seng remained silent, but immediately understood, and immediately came forward and said: "My case is urgent and human lives are at stake. Your Majesty, now that you have entertained the nobles, could you please answer some questions for me? I will be grateful for your kindness to the people." Another whoosh! Wind blew out of the cave and rolled up the paper in his hand. After a moment, the paper flew out. There is a line written on it: "A hundred miles to the north, the air is filled with miasma. In the deep mountains and swamps, there are dragon snakes. Their bodies are as big as pillars, with horns on their heads. They are vicious and like to eat people alive. If you cut their horns into pieces and dry them in the sun, they will become poisonous stones. If you dry them in the shade, they will become extremely poisonous stones." After reading it, Luo Seng looked serious. He folded the paper carefully, put it in his arms, and clasped his fists towards the hole in front of him: "Thank you, ma'am!" Lin Jue was standing next to him and also saw the words. He couldn't help but look thoughtful and then bowed towards the cave. Although I already knew in my heart that the person in the cave was unlikely to be the real Yaohua, but he must have some connection with Yaohua. This cave was probably the place where Yaohua had practiced. No matter what, the other person knew of my arrival, showed me courtesy, answered my questions and pointed me in the right direction. Unless it turns out that it was deliberately trying to trick me, I will still be grateful for its kindness. "Let's go." The two then turned around and walked back. Unexpectedly, those people had not left yet. When they looked at Lin Jue and the others, their eyes seemed to be glowing.
It looked like seeing the true face of a god. "I wonder who this immortal is?" "May I ask your name, Master?" "I live in Qingyan and have a mansion. I wonder if I could have the honor of inviting the gods to visit me?" Everyone asked respectfully. Even the junior sister was a little at a loss for a moment. "I don't dare to take it seriously." But the senior brother returned the greetings repeatedly and said to them, "We are not immortals. We just happened to meet the immortals in the cave and have some connection with them. The cave is the immortal. It seems that Empress Yaohua has some free time now. If you have any important questions, why not go and ask her sincerely and see if she is willing to answer." "Oh! That makes sense!" Several people's eyes lit up, and they left Lin Jue and ran towards the cave entrance. At the same time, because this "Empress Yaohua" had already answered two people's questions, according to her usual rules, there was only one spot left, so everyone moved even faster, vying for the first spot. Lin Jue and the other two naturally escaped. The little apprentice sister couldn't help but turn her head to look at him, her face serious, but she was a little anxious in her heart—— It turns out that only my senior brother can come up with this kind of emergency solution. Just like I did to my third senior brother that night. I have clearly worked very hard, so why haven’t I learned this skill yet? The three of them walked through the colorful forest and gradually went farther and farther away. "The Taoist priest is indeed extraordinary. I'm afraid that from now on, the rumors about 'Empress Yaohua' in Qingyan County will include more stories about him." Luo Seng said from the side. "Ashamed, ashamed." Lin Jue looked down at the fox at his feet. I know that I am probably just benefiting from it. However, the fox knew nothing about this. It jumped lightly and took advantage of the wind to jump onto the branch of the nearby Luan tree. It approached the fruit and sniffed it, then looked around before jumping down. It still seemed weightless and landed lightly on the ground. Luo Seng watched silently, without saying much, and just asked: "Master, what are your plans for the future?" "For now... I don't know." Lin Jue was also thinking about this question. The person in the cave seemed to have pointed out the direction for him, but facing this completely unfamiliar demon king and this completely unfamiliar land, he didn't know where to start. Not to mention such distant things, even the near ones, I haven’t even gathered enough food for the silver-eating ghosts for next month.
"Where's Mr. Luo?" "There is a zombie outbreak in Runze County. Many people have been poisoned by the zombies. It is very dangerous. Luo came here to seek a solution. Now, thanks to the Taoist priest, I have found a solution." As Luo Seng spoke, he couldn't help but look at him: "I was entrusted by the Runze County Government and the wealthy families in the village. Now I have to go to the big swamp in the north. I don't know what the dragon snake is. If you have no other plans, I will dare to invite you to go with me, just like before. But if it is inconvenient, just pretend I didn't say anything." "Just like before..." Lin Jue couldn't help but repeat it in his mind. Then, without hesitation, he agreed. This matter will definitely be beneficial to him. (End of this chapter)
