Chapter 72 Going Down the Mountain
"Senior Brother Jieshuai, I see you have been standing here for a long time. Are you okay?"

While Chen Shuai was thinking, a voice interrupted his thoughts. After hearing Jie Nan's words, Chen Shuai came back to his senses. He shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm fine."

As he said that, he looked at Jie Nan, who seemed to be very leisurely, holding a scripture in his hand. Only then did Chen Shuai notice that there didn't seem to be many people in the scripture library today.

Jieyan nodded after hearing the words, put his finger to his mouth and licked it gently, then turned a page of the book, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Chen Shuai's expression, so he asked: "Senior Brother Jishuai, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I just feel like there are a little few people today."

Usually, although there are not the most people at this spot, it is not like it is now.

Hearing Chen Shuai's words, Jie Nan was stunned for a moment: "Senior Brother Jieshuai, don't you know?"

"What do you know?" This time it was Chen Shuai's turn to be stunned and he asked.

"Well, it seems that you really don't know, senior brother." Jie Nan closed the book and explained, "It seems that a demon appears at the bottom of the mountain. Some monks from the Jie and Zhen generations have gone down the mountain to eliminate the demon."

Go down the mountain to slay demons?

Chen Shuai suddenly realized, no wonder Zhenwu and Jiezhi both went down the mountain.

"Are you in a hurry?" Chen Shuai asked again.

He actually didn't care much about going down the mountain to slay demons. After all, he had experienced several demon disasters after staying in Futu Temple for so long, let alone those monks.

He just wondered why going down the mountain to slay demons was not a secret thing, so why both Zhenwu and Jiezhi were so tight-lipped, especially Jiezhi, who seemed to say that if he went there, he might not come back.

"Senior Brother Jieshuai, you don't know something about this."

This was the first time that Jie Nan saw Chen Shuai showing such a curious look. Chen Shuai usually showed an independent attitude, so after hearing his inquiry, he immediately became interested.

"I heard from other senior brothers that the demon chaos this time is not simple, it is related to the previous riots. Moreover, several groups of demon-killing monks have disappeared because of the demon chaos at the foot of the mountain. They are suspected to have been killed by demons... I don’t know if it’s true, but I can’t get in touch.”

"So early this morning, Master took some monks from the True and Jie generations down the mountain to investigate the matter. By the way, Senior Brother Zhenwu and Senior Brother Jiezhi also went."

"Oh, if I could practice martial arts, I would be able to go down the mountain and slay the monsters. These monsters are really hateful. They like to cause trouble when they have nothing to do. Can't you just sweep the floor and sleep quietly!"

Jie Nan is worthy of being the "Bai Xiaosheng" of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. It took him less than a month to become familiar with many monks. It was almost impossible for Chen Shuai to hear such news on the second floor, but For quitting difficulties, it’s just a matter of a few smiling faces.

Seeing that Chen Shuai ignored him and Jie Nan shut up angrily, Chen Shuai thanked him and then returned to the second floor of the Sutra Pavilion. Jie Nan didn't care and just started reading.

Compared with the first floor, the second floor is more deserted, but it makes no difference to Chen Shuai. He is still doing his own thing, feeling the passage of time while following the rules.

In a blink of an eye, the time came to evening, and Chen Shuai left the Sutra Pavilion with a broom. Jie Nan watched Chen Shuai leave. He had long been accustomed to his behavior. It was not until Chen Shuai's figure disappeared from his sight that Jie Nan finally looked back. .

He looked around the first floor and saw no one around. He slowly moved his eyes to the second floor, his eyes overflowing with a trace of desire.When Chen Shuai arrived at the pagoda, he swept the ground slowly. The breeze was gentle and the sky in the west was dyed with sunset, making it look particularly beautiful.

As the last ray of light of the setting sun fell and night gradually fell, Chen Shuai estimated the time. When the bell rang, Chen Shuai put away his broom and left.

After returning to his residence, Jie Nan lit up a candle and read at night. Chen Shuai glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, waiting for the passage of time. He had something to go out tonight.

"Hey, why did Senior Brother Jieshuai go to bed so early today?"

Jie Nan, who was confused while reading a book, inadvertently glanced at Chen Shuai's room, which was completely dark. At this time, Chen Shuai should not be sleeping yet.

"Maybe I'm tired recently. Senior Brother Jishuai has a rest. Then I'll watch for a while longer."

Afterwards, Jie Nan stopped paying attention to Chen Shuai. After looking at him for about half an hour, Jie Nan put down his scriptures, stretched, and then went to bed to rest.

He actually wanted to read in bed, but he had a problem. He fell asleep easily when he was reading in bed, so even after he finished washing, he still sat and read.

It is very strange that when I want to sleep, I always recall the contents of the scriptures in my mind, which makes it difficult to fall asleep.

In the room, after seeing Jie Nan fall asleep, Chen Shuai deliberately waited for an extra stick of incense because he remembered that Jie Nan did not fall asleep that easily. When he heard Jie Nan's breathing gradually calming down, Chen Shuai said Then he secretly left the Sutra Pavilion.

The Buddha Temple was still a bit crowded at night, but the road down the mountain seemed lonely. This was the first time Chen Shuai went down the mountain since he became a monk guarding the pavilion, so he was not very fast, but kept paying attention as he hurried on.

"I asked my mother-in-law around the corner before. They will stay overnight in Kaoshan Town at night."

Through the night, only a faint light could be seen. As for whether it was a backing town, Chen Shuai was not sure. After all, there were many towns near Futu Temple, and most of them relied on Futu Temple for their survival.

At the beginning, Chen Shuai would pay attention to the scenery along the way. Later, Chen Shuai simply let go of his speed and wanted to test the difference in speed between running Qing Gong and not running Qing Gong. Soon he discovered that he was running Qing Gong. Afterwards, the speed increased by five levels.

At the same time, the consumption of real energy in the body has been reduced by three levels. It has to be said that having Qing Gong and not having Qing Gong are indeed two different things.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Shuai arrived at the foot of the mountain. After walking for a few minutes, people gradually began to appear. Dozens of families were scattered not far ahead. Most of them were already asleep at this time, but the way they fell asleep was different from Chen Shuai's. The handsome approach is obviously different, with a whiplash.

After calming down, Chen Shuai randomly found a direction, and then drifted away. The further away from Futu Temple, the more crowded and lively he became. Chen Shuai found an inn and inquired about the location of Kaoshan Town.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Chen Shuai arrived at Kaoshan Town half an hour later. Although it was said to be a town, there was a faint tendency to develop towards the city. There was a tall city wall outside, which was a guarantee. No wonder the two chose to stay in the town. Settlement here.

Entering the town quietly, Chen Shuai struggled again and finally found the inn where the two of them stayed on a busy street in the town. After some investigation, they found their room.

Chen Shuai pushed open the window and landed on the ground. Looking at the sleeping faces of the old woman and Lu Yun, he stretched out his fingers and touched their necks lightly, then grabbed Lu Yun's arm and transferred the true energy in his body.

Strands of true energy entered Lu Yun's body from Chen Shuai's body, like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, and soon attracted the attention of the cold air current in Lu Yun's body. In less than an instant, Chen Shuai felt those few Lu Zhenyuan was completely surrounded.
