Chapter 159 Making Friends

The dark cloud beast grinned and roared, poking its head out, trying to use the sharp horns on its head to butt the three little donkeys.

The three little donkeys also had the same temper. They also turned up their lips, revealing their big white teeth, and raised their hooves towards the dark cloud beast, looking like they were ready to fight it to the death.

The three women and Lu Yi stared at each other. Lu Yi held the spear in his right hand. The sound of swords in the three women's bags became like the chirping of autumn cicadas, becoming louder and clearer.

"I am a human, not a monster." Lu Yi looked at the three girls and smiled at the oldest girl, "Besides, in broad daylight, where do monsters and demons come from?"

The older girl said nothing.

A girl with pigtails raised her neck and snorted coldly: "A clear and bright world? Wow, a few days ago, there were female ghosts all over the capital of Gaojing, and evil spirits everywhere... Are you blind? Didn't you see it?"

Lu Yi glanced at the bags beside the three women. He felt a chilling feeling, which made him guess that there were three sharp weapons in the bags. This high-pitched and clear sound was a bit like the sound of a sword?

"I am the Duke of Tianyang appointed by the emperor today. I have just returned from the front line of suppressing the rebellion in Anping Prefecture with my army. I was ordered to go to Jiuqu Garden to meet your majesty." Lu Yi smiled and said, "Was there a ghost in Gaojing a few days ago? I heard about it, but I didn't see it."

The older girl's eyes swept over Lu Yi, then looked at the spear hanging next to his saddle.

After hesitating for a while, she took out a thick book from her bag and began to flip through it with a frown. After flipping through a few pages, she nodded and said, "That's right, he is a good person, but your weapon is not a good one."

"You are just a mortal. If you stay with an object that contains evil spirits for a long time, you might get into trouble." The older girl looked at Lu Yi seriously and said, "Why don't you hand over the spear to us and we will destroy it to prevent it from causing harm to the world."

Lu Yi looked the girl up and down, thought for a moment, then stretched out his right hand and wisps of breeze appeared out of nowhere, quickly transforming into tiny white whirlpools of wind that circled around Lu Yi's palm, making a continuous 'whooshing' sound.

The three girls were slightly stunned.

The older girl smiled and nodded, "We are kindred spirits. Well, then there is nothing to worry about."

The girl who had just been hit on the hand pursed her lips.

Lu Yi clasped his fists towards the girl and said, "I am a disciple of the Great Vajra Temple, Lu Yi."

Lu Yu has roughly figured out the style of the Great Vajra Temple. He thinks that such a sect is "very cute", so he has begun to accept his own identity.

The older girl smiled and nodded, "Qinglin Sword Pavilion, Qingyou. These are my two sisters, Qingning and Qingmeng."

As he spoke, Qingyou stretched out his hand in the air and carefully wrote his name.

Lu Yi suppressed his smile. How much do the elders of these three girls love to eat? Grapefruit and lemon are fresh and cute names for girls.

"It is my honor to meet you three ladies. If you have any troubles in Gaojing City in the future, you can go to the Yushunfang Survey Office to find me. Or, if you really can't find me, you can go to Tian'en Mansion in Anlefang and leave a letter for me. Tian'en Lord Lu Yu is my uncle."

As Lu Yi was speaking, he noticed that the three women's eyes became dazed and their facial expressions became extremely strange.

A girl with a pigtail hairpin, who didn't know whether it was a lemon or a lemon, laughed dryly, "Ah, Yushunfang Survey Department, we know. Uh, you are a disciple of the Great Vajra Temple, you should have a Dharma name, right?"

Qingyou was flipping through the thick book again. After flipping through it for a while, she nodded seriously, "That's right. Our ancestors left a note saying that when making friends with fellow Buddhists, we should respectfully address them by their Dharma names."

Lu Yu's face twitched and drooped. He hesitated for a while before he smiled dryly, "Of course I have a Dharma name... Thanks to the kindness of the current abbot of this temple, he personally gave me a Dharma name. It's a good omen."

Lu Yi lowered his voice and said in a hurry: "My Dharma name is... Hey, it's Fahai."

His face suddenly flushed with fever, and Lu Yi quickly changed the subject: "I see that you three are new to Gaojing?"

Qingyou nodded seriously, "Brother Fahai's name is so majestic. We are indeed, 'following the order of our parents to go out and travel'. A few days ago, there were sneaks rampant in the city of Gaojing in broad daylight, and we killed some of them. These days, we have been wandering around the city of Gaojing, trying to find traces of those sneaks."

The girl, who was not sure whether it was Green Lemon or Green Lemon, nodded vigorously: "That's right, the members of the Green Scale Sword Pavilion are born with the duty of slaying demons and monsters, and not letting down the reputation of our ancestors."

Lu Yi took a deep look at the three girls. Very good. These were three rookies who had a chivalrous heart and acted a little immaturely.

But what exactly is hidden in their bags?

It actually made Lu Yi feel such a great danger?

Qinglin Sword Pavilion?

Could it be three flying swords?

These three extremely beautiful girls are actually three sword immortals?

Sword Immortal?

A rare thing that I have never seen in my life!

Lu Yu was inexplicably a little excited.
"So you are three fellow Taoists with a chivalrous heart." Lu Yi pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "However, the area of ​​Gaojing City is thousands of miles in radius. It may be a bit unsafe for the three of you to track down the whereabouts of those sneaky people."

After a slight pause, Lu Yi smiled and said, "I was summoned back to Gaojing from Anping Prefecture by the Emperor, presumably for this sneaky activity in broad daylight. If the three of you are interested in exorcising demons, we can join forces!"

"Huh?" Qingyou looked at Lu Yi in a daze. She blinked her eyes and started flipping through the thick book again.

"Well, there are also ancestors who once traveled the world with swords, made offerings to the secular kingdom, exorcised demons, and protected the people. This path is feasible." Qingyou nodded gently, and read the book word by word: "But, we only serve, and we follow orders but not announcements. Well, we, every month, have to..."

Qingyou's face flushed slightly, and she coughed softly, "I need to collect offerings."

Lu Yi raised his head and laughed loudly: "All right, the three of you, follow me to see the emperor. Well, the emperor will be happy to see you three. What are the conditions for offering? As long as we have them in the Great Yinwu Dynasty, we will definitely not treat you three unfairly."

The sound of the sword in the bag gradually became quieter.

The strong sense of danger in Lu Yi's heart gradually disappeared.

Lu Yi was very proud, and he led the three women towards Jiuqu Garden, his heart filled with pride - he might have recruited three sword immortals, hey, sword immortals hey, maybe he could learn a few tricks from them.

The three women followed behind, keeping a distance of more than ten feet from Lu Yi.

They spoke in low voices, but Lu Yi had sharp ears and eyes, and he heard everything the three women said clearly.

"Sister, are we joining the court just like that?" A little girl whispered, "Isn't it too easy? I heard that in the past, even if our ancestors joined the court, they had to ask the court officials to invite them three times, make a big gesture, and receive enough offerings before they would agree to join."

Qingyou sighed: "Let's go and see first. If he is really the current Duke and can take us to see the emperor, we can directly join the court and become worshippers, which is not bad."

"It's not easy to live in Gaojing. We spent all the money we got a few days ago in just a few days. You two are too good at spending money. We need to find a stable way to make money."

"Although the emergency measures we took that day made money quickly, according to the teachings of our ancestors, we can only keep 100 gold out of 10,000 gold, and the rest must be distributed to help the poor. Hey, these few nights, we went to the poor overnight and threw gold into their yards. Don't you find it hard?"

"We finally got some gold, but I spent it all in less than two days. It took us several times longer to give away the remaining gold!"

"You've been looking for poor people on the street every night. Have you missed your homework these past few nights?"

"This is a time when the spiritual power of heaven and earth is collapsing. We are different from other cultivators and have our own support. However, in this secular world, we can only maintain our cultivation. How can we waste so much time?"

"Let's take a look first."

"The elders have received news that the three religions of Taoism, Buddhism, and Demonism have already taken action. Although we don't know what they are planning, it is very likely that drastic changes will come in this end of the world where the spiritual power of heaven and earth collapses."

"If we can seize the initiative in this secular country, perhaps it will be a chance for the Qinglin Sword Pavilion family to rise again."

A little girl smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed: "In other words, if we make contributions, we won't have to eat bamboo shoots fried with meat when we go back?"

Qingyou snorted softly and patted his bag vigorously: "We have been recognized by our ancestors, and we are the masters of this generation of Qinglin Sword. Even if we run back without achieving anything..."

The confident voice suddenly became a little weak: "I'm old enough, I won't be beaten. But you two are in trouble, you are at the right age to be beaten!"

The two girls' pretty faces drooped, and they kept shaking their heads at their elder sister: "Well, let's not go back before we grow up. Tsk, this Haojing City is so fun..."

Lu Yu just wanted to laugh after hearing this. These three were truly rookies who had just entered the world of martial arts.

No wonder I was fooled so easily.

Moreover, 'Blue Scale Sword Master'? This can basically be confirmed, these are the three sword immortals.

Lu Yi was in high spirits, and brought the three girls to the archway of Jiuqu Garden. There was a strong wind blowing overhead, and several young eunuchs lay on the backs of cranes in a desperate situation, falling from the sky with their faces bruised and frozen.

"My God... Lord Tianyang, your horse... runs so fast." The leading purple-robed eunuch shivered and sneezed suddenly: "We servants almost couldn't catch up with you. Hey, these three girls are so pretty!"

Lu Yi laughed loudly, "These are three great masters with supernatural means. I have the good fortune to meet them and specially introduce them to Your Majesty. Oh, hurry up and report to Your Majesty that the three contemporary sword masters of the Qinglin Sword Pavilion, the otherworldly masters, have agreed to serve as the imperial court's tribute and contribute to the country."

Lu Yi approached the young eunuch and whispered, "Your Majesty, please be more respectful to the wise and humble. They are really capable, and they are not like those thieves and bull noses who cheated people that night."

The young eunuch looked at Lu Yi, then at the three women, and then ran towards Jiuqu Garden.

Lu Yi accompanied the three women, waiting outside the archway and chatting casually.

Lu Yi randomly picked out a few interesting gossips from the streets of Haojing City and made the three girls laugh.

After about a quarter of an hour, the sound of cloud boards and jade chimes could be heard, and a large group of eunuchs and palace maids formed a ceremonial guard and quickly escorted Yin Yuan out.

Before Yin Yuan got off the imperial sedan chair, he was already shouting: "Where are the three fairies? Where are the three fairies!"

Beside Yin Yuan, Bai Shuang, with a forced smile, stared intently at the pure and elegant girl beside Lu Yi, as if she had seen her natural enemy.
