Chapter 40 Did you steal the incense from other mountains?
Although he didn’t really want to join the fun, the people arguing ahead were blocking the mountain road.
The surrounding mountains were steep and dangerous. Let alone绕过去, even walking on the mountain road required caution.
Therefore, Gu Yu didn’t think about taking a detour, but continued to walk forward.
This is not their home, why are they arguing! If he was displeased, he would just knock them out with a handful of medicinal powder, and his ears would be quiet!
Thinking of this, Gu Yu quickened his pace and directly overtook Gu Mengyao and Ruan Zhizhi.
This made Gu Mengyao a little puzzled, thinking that her little husband didn’t like to join the fun? Why is he so curious today, just like Qingheng!
“Benefactor, please do not make noise in the pure land of Buddhism. Buddha will not let you make trouble here.”
“Ha? He won’t let me? Then let Buddha come out and directly throw me off the mountain. That would be proof of your Buddha’s ability! Today, I’m the only one going up the mountain, which is convenient for your Buddha!”
“…”
When he got closer, besides the many onlookers, Gu Yu saw the two people arguing ahead. A middle-aged man wearing rough cloth clothes was arguing with a young-looking little monk.
Spittle was flying everywhere from the middle-aged man’s mouth, while the little monk looked weak and was clearly no match for him.
This made Gu Yu shake his head, thinking that the little monk was really unlucky to encounter such a thing!
Judging from what he had just heard, it was really not Yunlong Temple’s fault… It was the other party who wanted to come for fortune telling, and because he firmly believed that his daughter had a wealthy fate, he showed off in front of everyone, but in the end, he was completely wrong.
Truly, fate is unpredictable!
However, this was not a reason for the man to block the road and be forgiven.
“The fortunes at Yunlong Temple are very effective! In my opinion, this man’s daughter must be a jinx, otherwise, why would the abbot say that!”
“Who knows if it’s true or false, but the man just said he went to many places for fortune telling, and they all said his daughter had a wealthy fate, but why is Yunlong Temple different?”
“Heh heh, you don’t know this. This Yunlong Temple is weird! It’s not like what people outside say. It hides many little secrets, including news about the abbot drinking and finding women, which has already spread!”
“So he’s a monk who drinks and eats meat! Haha, what great things can a person like that have? Let’s go, let’s go.”
“I heard there’s a newly opened nunnery in the north of the city. Fortune telling there is also very effective, and the young nuns there are also good-looking…”
As Gu Yu approached, the surrounding onlookers were chattering animatedly.
However, no one actively helped.
They all stood by, acting as spectators.
Regarding such a matter, Gu Yu didn’t act rashly and become a leader, he just wanted to continue up the mountain.
The purpose of coming to Yunlong Temple this time was to see if the fortune telling here was effective.
Also, who exactly was that old monk named Jiekong.
Not only did he know that he urgently needed materials to make weapons, but he also accurately predicted that he would arrive at Yunlong Temple ten days later, appearing very certain, which made Gu Yu very curious about how he knew!
Could it be that he was really good at fortune telling?
If so, he would also like to learn…
“Hey, hey, who are you? Our problem hasn’t been solved yet, and you’re not allowed to go up!”
However, although Gu Yu didn’t want to cause trouble, he couldn’t help but be bothered.
Seeing the middle-aged man who had been talking about the little monk blocking the way, Gu Yu couldn’t help but frown, thinking if this guy was too arrogant?
He didn’t want to come to Yunlong Temple, so he stopped others from going up the mountain?
Who gave him the courage?
“Are you sure?”
“Hmph, you’re not old, but you have quite a temper. How did your family teach you…”
Then, while the man was still babbling, Gu Yu could no longer stand it. He directly raised his hand and threw out a handful of medicinal powder. The man opposite immediately fell straight to the ground, his eyes rolled back, and he actually fainted!
Unlike the medicinal powder Gu Yu had sprinkled before, this time the medicinal powder was quite dangerous.
If it was used on people with low resistance, besides fainting, they might also suffer from painful side effects for several days.
Although he could choose a safer medicinal powder, it was also more expensive… forcing Gu Yu to quickly invent other medicinal powders. Although the effect was not as good as the original medicinal powder, it was cheap.
The cost of a bag of medicinal powder could now make a hundred bags.
From this, it can be seen that it was a huge profit!
Moreover, it was extremely cost-effective, saving Gu Yu a considerable amount of expenses.
As for how those who enjoyed the cheap version of the medicinal powder felt, it had nothing to do with Gu Yu.
After all, most of the people he drugged would be sent to Yama.
Why bother with these things!
As long as it could knock them out…
“Ah! Someone’s killed!”
“Run!”
“Oh dear, it’s really dead!”
“Old Ten, hold on, you must… This is bad, there’s a murderer here!”
“Don’t push me, if I fall, I’ll pull you down with me.”
After the middle-aged man fell unconscious, the surrounding spectators immediately panicked. They were full of fear towards the handsome young man in front of them, afraid that he would continue to kill if he was unhappy.
Killing people at the slightest disagreement was too terrifying!
Seeing the crowd pushing and shoving, Gu Yu couldn’t be bothered to explain. He directly brought Gu Mengyao and Ruan Zhizhi to the side, lest they be bumped by others.
As the crowd scattered, Gu Yu suddenly heard someone anxiously calling out to Old Ten, as if he knew the man on the ground?
No, there’s something fishy here!
Didn’t that middle-aged man just say that he came alone!
Thinking of this, Gu Yu immediately looked towards the direction of the sound, worried that the other party would leave in advance out of fear.
However, when Gu Yu looked over, Gu Mengyao had already taken a step ahead and controlled the person who had just spoken, preventing him from escaping.
This made Gu Yu nod in satisfaction, thinking that his little wife was indeed amazing!
Presumably, Gu Mengyao also heard what the person just said.
Originally, Gu Yu thought it was just a normal dispute, but he didn’t expect… it was a trap.
A carefully set trap.
Just seeing that there were accomplices watching clearly indicated that the other party was not friendly.
He didn’t know who this Yunlong Temple had offended, could it be that it had stolen the incense from other mountains?
Was the monastery on the next mountain retaliating?
“Benefactor Gu, please quickly quell the disturbance, otherwise, there will be casualties!”
“Oh? You know me?”
Just as Gu Yu was coldly watching the people fleeing around, and his little wife bringing over the person who had just shouted for Old Ten, the little monk who had been retorted until his face turned red was very anxious.
This made Gu Yu curious, thinking that he hadn’t introduced himself, how did the little monk know him?
Could it be fortune telling too?
