191: Do you know me?

“You said the temple’s name is Immortal Jin Mao Shu Temple?” Wei Xun heard the information relayed by Little Six, the mouse, and looked incredulous, feeling a sense of familiarity.

“Yes, yes!” Little Six immediately replied from behind the cave entrance, his tone very certain.

“This is a bit interesting!” Wei Xun frowned slightly, carefully pondering his memories from ten years ago.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this name was something he had casually made up for a merchant ten years ago when he was in Qian Yuan City.

But after so long, it was uncertain whether there was any connection between the two.

After all, in this world of Cultivation, he certainly wasn't the only mouse to Cultivate into a demon.

Perhaps there really was a fellow named Immortal Jin Mao Shu in this world.

He wondered if it was a coincidence.

“Keep a close eye on the construction of this temple, and report back to me immediately if anything happens!”

Wei Xun instructed Little Six outside the cave entrance.

“Don’t worry, Big Brother!”

Little Six’s cheerful voice immediately rang out, and then he used the Earth Escape Technique to go to the surface and continue gathering intelligence.

After the temple was built, not many nearby villagers came to worship at it. Firstly, it was in a remote location, and secondly, the news of a monster being Sealed here was already deeply ingrained in people's minds.

After having Little Six observe for more than half a month, the Disciples of the Qingfeng Sect still guarded the vicinity as usual.

Although they allowed nearby villagers to worship at the temple, they still did not let anyone approach the six stone tablets that Sealed Wei Xun.

“Am I going to be trapped for five hundred years like the Great Sage Sun?”

Wei Xun felt a hint of helplessness upon hearing the news relayed by Little Six, the mouse.

But just as Wei Xun was feeling disappointed, he suddenly felt the Seal that trapped him loosen.

In an instant, Wei Xun immediately perked up, and without a moment's hesitation, he directly used the Earth Escape Technique to forcefully Transmigrate out from the loosened Seal.

After successfully breaking through the Seal, Wei Xun turned his head to look behind him.

He found that the Seal, which had just loosened, had already returned to its original state.

If he hadn't seized that brief window of opportunity just now, he might not have had this chance to get out.

“What happened up there?!” Wei Xun wondered.

At this moment, on the surface, an ox cart accidentally crashed into one of the stone tablets, causing the tablet to shift slightly from its original position.

The commotion quickly attracted the Qingfeng Sect Disciples guarding nearby.

“What’s going on? How could you be so careless!” The Qingfeng Sect Disciple cursed at the middle-aged man driving the ox cart, “Don’t you have eyes?”

“This Immortal Master, I’m so sorry, this old ox is disobedient!” The middle-aged man immediately got off the cart and repeatedly apologized, “This Little One couldn’t hold it back for a moment, and that’s why this happened!”

“Get out of my way!” The Qingfeng Sect Disciple cursed at the man, “Do you know what this stone tablet is for? You dare to knock it crooked, you truly don’t want to live!”

While cursing the man, the Qingfeng Sect Disciple used his strength to move the stone tablet back to its original position.

“This Little One truly doesn’t know what this stone tablet is for!” The middle-aged man said with a fawning smile.

“This stone tablet is used to Seal a ferocious monster underground!” The Qingfeng Sect Disciple glared at the middle-aged man, “If that monster gets out, you old fellow will definitely be in deep trouble!”

After saying this, the Qingfeng Sect Disciple immediately shifted his gaze to the large golden bell, and seeing that the bell had not changed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Immortal Master, I am truly sorry, this Little One was reckless and almost did something bad. This little something is my offering to you!”

As the middle-aged man spoke, he took out a purple crystal stone from hisin my arms and slipped it into the Qingfeng Sect Disciple’s hand.

“What is this?” The Qingfeng Sect Disciple looked left and right, and seeing no one else nearby, he put the purple crystal stone into hisin my arms.

“This Little One intermittently made a great mistake. This is to compensate for my wrongdoing, please forgive me, Immortal Master!”

The middle-aged man looked ingratiating and harmless.

“Alright, alright!” Seeing this, the Qingfeng Sect Disciple didn’t say much more, so he waved his hand and let the man leave.

After repeatedly thanking him, the man resumed driving his ox cart and left the area.

And after the Qingfeng Sect Disciple confirmed that the stone tablet had been moved back to its original position, he turned and left with peace of mind.

After the man driving the ox cart had gone far, he stopped the ox cart by the roadside.

“That broken stone tablet is really hard, it didn’t even break after being hit like that!” The middle-aged man stroked the beard on his chin, then looked back at the Immortal Jin Mao Shu Temple from afar, frowning slightly.

“The large bell hasn’t moved, so it seems the Seal hasn’t been lifted yet. I need to think of other ways.”

Just as the middle-aged man was deep in thought, Wei Xun suddenly and stealthily sat down beside the ox cart, startling the man who was deep in thought.

“You, you, you… who are you?” The middle-aged man was so startled by the sight of Wei Xun that he stammered.

“Master Zhang, long time no see!”

Wei Xun looked at the middle-aged man beside him. Wasn't this the same fellow he had saved ten years ago, the one who was almost ruined by the Black Armored Guards?

“You know me?” Master Zhang was surprised when he heard what Wei Xun said.

“Of course I know you!” Wei Xun nodded, “You should know me too!”

“I know you?” Master Zhang frowned slightly after hearing this, “If I remember correctly, this is our first meeting, isn’t it?”

“Ten years ago, were you ever saved by a rat demon?”

Wei Xun asked.

“No, it was Immortal Jin Mao Shu!” Master Zhang immediately corrected, “It’s not some demon, but a benevolent Immortal.”

“Alright, alright!” Wei Xun didn’t want to correct him, so he continued, “I am that Immortal Jin Mao Shu you speak of!”

“You are?” Master Zhang looked suspicious after hearing this.

“Watch closely!” Wei Xun’s thought moved slightly, and then an illusion of a mouse suddenly appeared on his handsome face.

Upon seeing this face, Master Zhang immediately became excited.

“You, you, you, are you really Immortal Jin Mao Shu?”

“That’s right, you just helped me lift the Seal for a moment, and I took the opportunity to come out!” Wei Xun nodded slightly.

“That Old Daoist really didn’t lie to me!” Master Zhang was so excited that he danced with joy, “This really can release you!”

“But I’m very curious, why did you want to release me?” Wei Xun asked, “And what exactly is this Immortal Jin Mao Shu Temple?”

“Great Immortal, please let me explain slowly!”

Master Zhang calmed his excited feelings, and then continued to speak.

It turned out that ten years ago, after Master Zhang was saved by Wei Xun, he took the ten taels of gold Wei Xun gave him and left Qian Yuan City with his daughter.

Since the Black Armored Guards who had harmed him were dead, he no longer had to repay the huge debt he owed, and no one came to trouble him anymore.

After leaving Qian Yuan City, Master Zhang used his remaining capital to restart his business, and in eight years, he once again became a wealthy merchant.

Only, his daughter had also grown up and married into a good family, so Master Zhang no longer had any other worries. Therefore, he wanted to return to Qian Yuan City to see if he could meet Immortal Jin Mao Shu again and repay his kindness.

Upon returning to Qian Yuan City, Master Zhang found that no one else had heard of the name Immortal Jin Mao Shu except for himself.

After much inquiry, Master Zhang learned the story of a monster that was offered a reward of one hundred crystal stones ten years ago and then suppressed by the Qingfeng Old Ancestor.
