Seeing Lao Niu's look, Lu Shanjun did not stop talking, but continued speaking.
"When we fought before, I saw that although you are powerful, you get angry easily. Once you get mad, your five senses will be weakened accordingly. Why do you think I raised my demonic energy so wildly and why did I stir up a strong wind that caused sand and rocks to fly everywhere?"
Although Lu Shanjun's tone contained a hint of sarcasm, it made Niu Batian truly calm down.
Although he was angry, Lao Niu had to admit that the monster named Lu had a point.
Moreover, Lao Niu now figured out why he was tricked in the last attack. It was not that the man named Lu could really hide himself, but he left a lot of evil clouds and evil spirits in the sky to confuse people, and his real body instantly restrained the evil spirit and landed on the ground to attack, which was why he was defeated.
Looking back at the previous fights, Lao Niu often thought he had hit the opponent, but in fact he was just wasting his strength in vain. When he was hit by the so-called "heart-frightening" magical power, his judgment and the use of his magic power became a big problem.
Although Lu Shanjun's words were harsh to hear, if you think about it from another perspective, he was deliberately reminding Lao Niu that his weakness was too obvious, so obvious that Lu Shanjun saw through it and exploited it in such a short time.
In many cases, one can defeat an opponent with force, but that doesn't mean it will work every time. If he meets someone who is good at observing during a fight and has a good mind and the ability to keep up, it will be easy for him to fall, like this time.
"you… "
Just as Lao Niu was about to say something, he saw Lu Shanjun turn sideways, not even looking at him, and cursed in a low voice.
"You fucking ..."
Accountant Yuan had almost finished studying the paper roll in his hand, so he put it away and put it into his sleeve. Lu Shanjun retorted a few words to Niu Batian, but did not immediately target Yan Fei. When he saw Ji Yuan finished reading the paper roll, he asked about the doubts that he had not had time to solve last time.
"Sir, after my transformation, I have obviously left the tiger form behind, and I can sense some potential changes. For example, I can control the power of 'Heart-shaking' that I mentioned before, and for this tail, although I haven't mastered the technique yet, it seems that I can cultivate some things."
Having said this, Lu Shanjun slowed down his tone and asked with a little trepidation and anticipation.
"Sir, do you know what my demon body is now?"
Niu Batian, who was stretching his muscles, turned to look at Lu Shanjun again.
"After all this time, you don't even know what kind of monster you are? Mr. Ji, I think you probably don't know either. Maybe this guy has become stupid from practicing and created a freak!"
If he could get an advantage at this moment, Lao Niu would definitely not stay for the next moment. The saying that a gentleman's revenge is never too late is only for those scholars. Lao Niu was so upset by what he said just now, so he would quickly make a few remarks to Lu Shanjun when he got the chance.
"Huh..."
A roar came from the corner of Lu Shanjun's mouth. He had to admit that this barbarian bull had an extraordinary talent. As long as he wanted to, it was easy to anger others.
This made Yan Fei, who was standing next to him, a little nervous, and Ji Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He just thought of Taoist Qingsong, and when he saw Lao Niu like this, he felt that the two of them were similar to some extent.
It’s just that Taoist Qingsong is more innocent, and his words are disliked, while Lao Niu is more despicable.
As for Lu Shanjun's doubts, Ji Yuan didn't know if there was anyone else who could answer them, but he himself knew the answer. He smiled and lowered his voice slightly, looking up at the demonic cloud that had just completely dissipated. A low and upright voice sounded from Ji Yuan's mouth.
"A tiger's body with nine tails, a human face with tiger claws, a divine power that intimidates people, standing on Kunlun Hill and looking far to the east, this is the divine beast Luwu!"
"Luwu?" "Divine beast?"
Lu Shanjun and Lao Niu each muttered to themselves, but one focused on the name "Luwu" while the other was more concerned with the word "divine beast".
Lao Niu had heard of fairy beasts, but the term divine beast sounded a bit like mountain and water spirits or gods that practiced the power of vows. But wouldn't that just mean mountain gods, water gods, or the like? And Lu Shanjun didn't look like a god at all.
Ji Yuan looked down at Lu Shanjun and Niu Batian and nodded.
"Yes, it is Luwu, but the real Luwu has nine tails, and you are still a little short of it."
"This is not just a little bit worse, it's far worse!"
Niu Batian pretended to mutter something in a low voice, but he knew that everyone present could hear it clearly, but Lu Shanjun would not be angry about this.
Ji Yuan ignored Lao Niu. Looking at Lu Shanjun's thoughtful expression, he sighed and continued.
"You don't have to think too much, just practice hard, and don't look for any other similar creatures. Unlike dragons and Jiao, there should only be one Luwu, let alone now."
Hearing his master's words, Lu Shanjun quickly bowed.
"yes!"
Ji Yuan glanced at the three people again, and finally looked towards the direction of Luoqing City.
"The rest of the matter is up to you to handle. Let's finish it quickly. I'm going to Luoqing City first to appease the ghosts and gods here."
After saying that, Ji Yuan jumped lightly, flew into the air with the wind under his feet, and flew towards Luoqing City on the breeze.
Only now had the people of Luoqing City recovered from the previous storm, but to be honest, although the previous storm looked terrible, it actually did not have any impact on the people in the city.
Even if some sand and rocks fell into the city, only a small area near the city wall on the east side of the city was filled with more dust.
Although there was no material impact, the spiritual impact was quite large. Before, there was a faint terrible roar that could be heard in the city. Although many people thought it was thunder, there were also panicked people who thought it was evil spirits or monsters. During those years, many places in the Zuyue Kingdom were not peaceful.
However, this panic will not last too long. It is estimated that the incense burning in the temples in the city will be good for a while, and then people will slowly forget about it when they find that nothing is wrong.
It’s just that the City God and a group of ghosts and gods, to whom the people of Luoqing usually burn incense and kowtow, are now nervously waiting on the city wall.
Sure enough, not long after, a man in a flowing white robe flew down to the top of the city wall. The City God of Luoqing, who had been waiting for a long time, and a group of ghosts and gods bowed in greeting.
"Thank you, Immortal, for subduing the monster!"
The City God’s words could not be wrong, so Ji Yuan was too lazy to correct him. He returned the greeting and comforted him.
"City God and all the underworld officials, please don't be so polite. The battle between the monsters outside the city has come to an end, and it will not affect the people in Luoqing City..."
Ji Yuan would not explain the matter too clearly. He would just give a brief account of the whole story in a slightly vague manner, focusing on comforting rather than explaining.
Although the ghosts and gods in the city could not always see the situation clearly, they could still see it very clearly at the last moment. In addition, in order to make them reduce their talents, Ji Yuan revealed some of his own magic power and spiritual energy.
Orthodox cultivators of immortality, especially those who have reached a high level of cultivation, have both the magic power and spiritual energy manifested in their bodies, giving a sense of immortality, which is completely different from demonic aura and evil spirits. Although it is not absolutely impossible to fake it, Ji Yuan's doing so also makes ghosts and gods feel more at ease.
After Ji Yuan explained the situation to the ghosts and gods in Luoqing City in a gentle and persuasive manner, when he returned to the small manor outside the city, he suspected that he had gone to the wrong place.
Most of this small manor had been destroyed in the previous battle between the two monsters, leaving only a utility room and a shed. However, the stone table and a few benches in front of the house were still intact.
At this moment, Lu Shanjun was holding a complete teapot. He had dug out some tea utensils and washed them. Then he cast a spell to make tea and diligently poured tea for someone. The person he was pouring tea for was not Yan Fei, but Lu Shanjun who was sitting next to Yan Fei.
"What's going on? Did this bull's brain get damaged? It seems that the head wasn't hit... "
Of course, Lao Niu was not stupid. The reason why his attitude was so attentive was not only because Lu Shanjun dealt with Yan Fei lightly after finding out the truth about Yan Fei, but also because he accidentally found out that Lu Shanjun was very rich!
"Come on, Lao Lu, Lao Lu, although our house is damaged, the teapot is intact and the teapot is clean. Try this tea. It is made from wild tea from the nearby mountains. The tea tastes very refreshing. Try it, try it!"
Seeing Ji Yuan coming back, Lao Niu hurriedly greeted him.
"Mr. Ji is back. Those ghosts and gods in Luoqing are useless. It doesn't matter if you don't explain. Come over and have some tea, have some tea!"
Ji Yuan nodded and walked over to look at Lu Shanjun with an inquiring look, but he saw that the latter's face was also full of confusion. It was obvious that he didn't understand why this barbarian suddenly changed his attitude. Before, he was eager to find any opportunity to confront him.
So Ji Yuan looked at Yan Fei, but Yan Fei just smiled awkwardly.
"Mr. Ji, sit down!"
Lao Niu placed the teacup in front of Ji Yuan, poured a cup of steaming hot tea, sat down himself, and asked about Lu Shanjun and Ji Yuan who were drinking tea.
"How is it? How does it taste?"
“It’s OK.”
"very nice."
For every one point Ji Yuan answered, Lu Shanjun’s answer would get one point added.
The old cow laughed “hehe”.
"This is the tea that I, Lao Niu, personally roasted. Back then, I was still a working ox. Although my family was poor, the hostess was diligent. She would go up the mountain to pick wild tea leaves in spring, roast them at home, and pour the tea for me in the cowshed after I finished drinking it. The tea was refreshing..."
Lao Niu rarely recalled an experience from his early years, and then looked at the house behind him.
"What a pity for this manor. It was the home where my brother Yan and I cultivated our moral character. The cauldron that I had carried with me for hundreds of years and that carried all my memories was also destroyed..."
"Puff..."
Yan Fei spat out a mouthful of tea, luckily he blocked it with his hand in time, otherwise it would have sprayed onto Mr. Ji.
"Although rebuilding the manor will cost a lot of money, our lack of money is just a small matter. Memories are something that cannot be bought back with money..."
Ji Yuan's mouth twitched and he asked casually.
"And the gold?"
"Gold is, uh... what can gold do..."
Ji Yuan finally understood that this old man was really trying to extort money. He knew what he wanted with the money. After all, he still remembered what happened back then. Then he looked at Yan Fei and found that he was indeed the one who watched the nose with his eyes, the mouth with his nose, and the heart with his mouth.
As a monster, it is not difficult for Lao Niu to get money, but he can't help spending it even faster. The silver he has thrown into the brothels of Luoqing City over the years is an astronomical figure for many people. Now that he knows that Lu Shanjun is a financial sponsor, why not get close to him
Lu Shanjun could not imagine that this bull demon could be so shameless, so although he felt that the old bull was a little pretentious, he really felt that the old bull seemed to be taking it very seriously.
"As for the damage to the manor, I will naturally compensate you. It is also possible for me to help rebuild it."
After hearing what Lu Shanjun said, Lao Niu slapped his thigh hard.
"It's so satisfying! Old Lu, you are a satisfying demon!"
Then Lao Niu moved closer to Lu Shanjun and said.
"How much silver do you have?"
Lu Shanjun was stunned again, and thought that if we don’t count the gold nuggets, the silver money would be just small change and the reward from the Dong family.
"About two thousand taels."
"Okay! Old Lu, you're welcome! Just over two thousand taels is just over two thousand taels. Old Niu, I'll take it!"
Niu Batian had already stretched out his hand and put his arm around Lu Shanjun's shoulder and laughed. The latter's eyebrows jumped, but he forced himself not to slap him away.
