Chapter 207 The Last Chance
"If you can't ignore the affairs of rich and powerful people, don't worry about it. If you really can't shirk it, don't get too involved and don't ask too many questions."
“Look three times before doing anything, and plan everything carefully before you act.”
"I would rather drink the water of the poor than the wine of the rich."
“When you see demons and monsters, don’t rush to kill them. A righteous ghost can become a human being, and an evil human can become a ghost.”
…
…
In Qingfeng Temple, Daogu was reciting some principles of conduct that his master had taught him over the years. Not far away, in a deep alley in Shangyang City.
Lin Ye brought Zhang Wuji to the end of the alley, in front of the mansion gate with two red lanterns hanging on it. The two persimmon trees in the courtyard wall had a few more touches of tender green compared to the last time Lin Ye came.
"Who lives here?"
Zhang Wuji looked at Lin Ye. Lin Ye did not explain, but just said, "Senior, please go and knock on the door."
"Should I knock on the door?"
Zhang Wuji looked at Lin Ye in surprise, but still walked to the door and pressed the copper bell on it.
The copper bell hit the door with a crisp sound, but no one inside responded.
"Senior, kick the door!"
Seeing Zhang Wuji looking back at him, Lin Ye said another sentence. Zhang Wuji pondered for a second, and the next moment he kicked him.
Bang!
The door shook, and the door frames on both sides shattered. The door creaked and tilted backwards, and finally collapsed with a loud bang.
"presumptuous!"
An old woman's voice was heard, and then several rays of light shot towards Zhang Wuji. Zhang Wuji moved and dodged the rays of light with several steps. Then Lin Ye saw the old woman he had seen last time appeared in front of the door.
"You dare to come here to cause trouble, you are simply courting death!"
The old woman had a furious look on her face. When Zhang Wuji saw her, he also looked a little wary. He could feel that the demonic aura of the old woman and her strength were almost approaching that of a demon king.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Wuji glanced at Lin Ye, questioning him with his eyes.
"Mother-in-law, we didn't mean it. We just knocked on the door but no one answered. I want to ask that person to help deal with the Ghost King!" Lin Ye said sincerely.
When Zhang Wuji heard Lin Ye's words, he looked towards the inner courtyard with shock. Is there a strong man in this mansion who can deal with the Ghost King?
Then he kicked the door just now?
Kicking the door of a strong man who can deal with the Ghost King, what's the difference between this and seeking death?
This kid is harming me!
For a moment, Zhang Wuji looked at Lin Ye with eyes that were almost spitting fire, and Lin Ye responded with an aggrieved expression, meaning that at this time, there was nothing he could do.
"Humph, this is your business. What does it have to do with my fairy? Don't forget the agreement between my fairy and your Qingfeng Temple. It's good enough that my fairy didn't take advantage of your misfortune."
The old woman had a look of sarcasm on her face. She obviously thought that Lin Ye was daydreaming. It was already good enough that her fairy did not help the Ghost King this time. How could she possibly help deal with the Ghost King?
You know, if Qingfeng Temple collapses, the fairy can leave this mansion.
Lin Ye ignored the old woman's ridicule, and looked towards the inner courtyard, shouting: "Senior Fairy, with your strength, if you really want to leave Shangyang City, I'm afraid you won't be afraid of Qingfeng Temple. You have lived in Shangyang City for so many years, I think you have feelings for Shangyang City, and you don't want Shangyang City to be destroyed by the hands of the Ghost King."
"Besides, there are so many plants and trees in the entire Shangyang City. Once the Ghost King escapes, everything within a hundred miles will cease to exist, including those plants and trees. These are all your fellow tribesmen, and you should not have the heart to see them being devoured by the Ghost King."
The last point is the reason why Lin Ye holds a glimmer of hope.
The old Taoist told him that this ghost was a monster made of plants and trees, and once the Ghost King came out, the plants and trees would suffer as well, and the entire Shangyang City would be barren.
"It's ridiculous. What is the identity of my fairy? Let alone these plants and trees that have not yet become spirits, even if they have become spirits, how dare they say that they are of the same race as my fairy."
"You are an old slave, do you think you are the master? The fairy hasn't replied yet, but you keep chattering. You are really an evil slave bullying his master!"
Seeing the old woman's sarcastic rebuttals again and again, Lin Ye couldn't help but start to scold her. Anyway, Zhang Wuji was there. Zhang Wuji was no match for the fairy, but he should be able to deal with this old woman.
Otherwise, given the old woman's temper, it was impossible for her to remain at the level of just verbal sarcasm , and it was impossible for Zhang Wuji to just take a few steps back and still stand in front of the door.
"How dare you, you little brat, insult me like this? I am so angry!"
The old woman was angered by Lin Ye's words. She had served the fairy for many years and had never been insulted like this. Her whole body was trembling, and her arms suddenly turned into two long vines, sweeping towards Lin Ye.
However, Zhang Wuji would not let her do that. With a wave of his sword, the pair of long vines were cut off and fell to the ground, turning into a few strands of hair.
The old woman was furious and was about to continue taking action when a cold voice was heard from the inner courtyard.
"Considering that you mentioned plants and trees, I will not punish you two this time. Leave. I will not attack the Ghost King!"
When Zhang Wuji heard the word "this immortal", he took a deep breath . The only one who dared to call himself an immortal was a demon immortal.
Looking around the world, there are only eight demon fairies in total, but there seems to be only one with the body of a plant.
Zhang Wuji thought of the person recorded in his master's sect.
In an instant, he broke out in a cold sweat because that person's record was so terrifying.
Hearing this, Lin Ye's expression darkened. He knew very well that there was no way back from what a strong man of this level said.
However, he still didn't give up.
"If the fairy has any conditions, you might as well put them forward and see if I can meet the fairy's conditions."
"It's really funny, just you!"
The old woman laughed first. Her fairy was a powerful being of such a high level that if there was a real need, the boy in front of her would not be able to do it.
There was also laughter coming from the inner courtyard, but it was not a sneer, but a kind of laughter as if someone had heard something interesting.
"I heard that you are very accomplished in poetry. If you can write a poem that satisfies me, I can help you once. But even if I do, I have to do it before the ghost fog spreads out. You have to force the ghost king out of the ghost cave first."
The fairy's words made Lin Ye happy at first, but then he became a little discouraged. It was so difficult to force the Ghost King out of the huge pit.
But no matter what, this is the only chance right now.
I am indeed good at poetry.
In the real world, he also specially bought a book called "A Complete Collection of Five Thousand Chinese Poems", which included all the poems that were somewhat famous.
The poem that will satisfy this demon fairy...
Many poems related to flowers, plants and trees, or poems describing women's beauty, flashed quickly through Lin Ye's mind.
The most beautiful one is naturally "The Goddess of Luo River".
But Goddess of Luo River is not suitable for this scene. If there is enough time, he can modify it slightly.
After a while, Lin Ye's eyes lit up, because he thought of an extremely suitable poem. The translation of this poem may not be beautiful, but the artistic conception of the original text is extraordinary. The most important thing is that it is somewhat appropriate to use it on this flower demon.
