Chapter 194: Looking for the Ruler (Part )

Last time, we talked about Hua Jinfan suddenly starting to shake violently, Li Yi hugged Xia Houying who was about to fall into the water, and used Buddhism to drive away the water ghosts in the lake. So what will happen next? Let's read on.

Although Hua Jinfan regained his composure, Xia Houying still held Li Yi tightly, and Li Yi also held her. After a while, there was no more movement around, but Xia Houying did not let go. She asked timidly, "What was that just now? Was it a water ghost?"

Li Yi nodded and said, "Yes, they are the water monkeys that people often talk about. There are quite a few of them. I am full of righteousness, but they are not afraid of me. They even dare to cause trouble. It can be imagined that the person controlling them is nearby!"

Xia Houying hugged him tighter after hearing this and said, "How about you take me back first! My legs are weak! This is too scary!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "I told you before we set out. Do you remember what you said at that time?"

Xia Houying said unhappily: "I said you could protect me, but now I feel like you can't protect me either!"

Li Yi reached out and took off his eighteen-bead rosary, chanted the scriptures, and injected the righteousness into it, then pulled away Xia Houying's arm that was holding him, and put the rosary on her hand. Li Yi smiled and said, "Okay, with this, even if you really fall into the water, those water ghosts will not dare to touch you, don't worry."

Xia Houying looked at the rosary in her hand and said in surprise: "This rosary must be worth a lot of money! How can you be so rich?"

Li Yi rolled his eyes at her and said, "Money is something outside of one's body. Even if I have a lot of money in this world, I can't enjoy the life I want. What's the point of having money?"

Xia Houying looked up at Li Yi and asked, "What kind of life do you want?"

Li Yi shook his head and smiled, "Even if I tell you, you still won't understand. Okay, Miss Xiahou, have you hugged enough? I have to go back to the bottom cabin and start the boat again."

Xiahou Ying then realized her behavior, quickly let go of her hand, and stood aside awkwardly. Li Yi smiled and walked towards the bottom cabin. Xiahou Ying glanced at the dark lake and immediately followed him, reaching out to grab the back of Li Yi's monk robe.

Li Yi smiled and said, "You have practiced martial arts, how can you be so scared?"

Xia Houying had not yet recovered from the embarrassment and did not reply. But as she watched Li Yi exude his talent and control it to drive the boat, she was surprised and said, "Although I know that you have a lot of talent and righteousness in your body, I didn't expect that you could control your talent so casually? What kind of Confucianism and Taoism are you practicing?"

Li Yi smiled slightly, but did not reply to her. He chanted the six-character mantra and shrunk the lotus seal to one foot around Hua Jinfan. This way, the consumption would be less. At this time, Xiahou Ying used the Qi-viewing technique to look at Li Yi. It didn't matter that she looked at him, but she was shocked again! The monk in front of her was actually a fourth-grade Confucian scholar!

Xia Houying was surprised and asked, "You, you are actually a great scholar? How old are you? How can you be a great scholar? What books have you written? I am also a well-read person, but how come I have never heard of your name?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "You must have read my book, but it's not under my current name."

Xiahou Ying asked in confusion, "A young man became a talented person, wrote a book, and then became a monk? I don't remember such a person. We definitely don't have such a person in Daliang! No, this flower boat belongs to us in Daliang. You are from Liang!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Okay, stop imagining things. With your imagination, you may not be able to guess anything later!"

At this moment, Li Yi suddenly frowned. There were several thumping sounds from the bottom of the boat, and then the cabin began to leak. Xiahou Ying quickly stepped aside, and Li Yi said, "I only guarded against water ghosts and forgot about Liu Hong's mechanism. What a miscalculation!"

After that, Li Yi gathered his righteousness and said, "Repair the bottom of the boat." The righteousness accompanied Li Yi's words and floated to the bottom of the boat, and soon the leakage stopped. Li Yi used the Vajra Magic to set up a barrier at the bottom of the boat to prevent Liu Hong's mechanical skills.

But as Hua Jinfan got closer and closer to Poyang Mountain, the thumping sound from the bottom of the boat became more and more frequent. Li Yi frowned and said, "No, it will be too exhausting to go on like this. If we really run into trouble, it will be difficult to deal with. Let's go!" As he said that, he took Xia Houying's hand and walked towards the deck. Before the latter could react, he dragged her away.

When they reached the deck, Li Yi looked toward Poyang Mountain, estimating that it was still about two or three miles away. Xiahou Ying asked, "What are you going to do?"

Li Yi replied, "I'm sorry to inconvenience Miss Xiahou for now." As he spoke, he picked up Xiahou Ying in a princess hug, then leaped several feet away. When he was about to fall into the water, he immediately used his Vajra magic to form a barrier under his feet, stepped on the barrier and jumped again.

After taking a few steps, Hua Jinfan was seen shaking violently, then breaking into several pieces and sinking into the lake. Li Yi ignored it and continued to jump while holding Xiahou Ying.

Xia Houying asked: "Shouldn't that flower boat be very important to you? Don't you feel sad that it sank like this?"

Li Yi didn't even turn his head, looking forward, and said as he jumped: "It's okay, at most I'll get scolded a few times, and at worst I can just buy a new boat to compensate her."

The woman's skill in grasping words was evident as Xia Houying asked, "Compensate her? The owner of the flower boat is not dead? Can you still see him? Could it be that you... are you really a lecherous monk? Lecherous monk! Let me go! Let me go!"

If Li Yi had not been using the Vajra Divine Skill at this time, he really couldn't bear Xiahou Ying's small punches. After all, he was a martial artist. Although his cultivation was not high, it was still painful. Li Yi was annoyed by being beaten and said unhappily: "If I let go now, you will fall into the water! Do you need me to tell you what's in the water?"

Xia Houying immediately hugged Li Yi tightly when she heard this. When she saw the rosary in his hand, she said, "Didn't you say that with this rosary, I would be fine even if I fell into the water?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Nothing will happen, but you will get wet!" Tell me, why is he still playing with homophones at this time? Otherwise, retribution would not come so quickly!

A water ghost suddenly jumped out of the lake and threw them into the water. Then countless black shadows gathered around. Li Yi immediately summoned the Dharma image of Acala. The water ghosts retreated instantly. Li Yi jumped out of the water and leaped quickly, finally jumping to the foot of Poyang Mountain.

Now they are both wet, right? But the retribution is not over yet. Just when Li Yi was about to make a fire, a familiar face suddenly appeared in front of him. Who is it? Guess? See if you can guess it? Xu Li? No?

What Li Yi saw was Shan Yiling, the person he had fantasized about practicing dual cultivation with countless times! How was it? It was retribution, wasn't it? Did you feel like you were caught looking for a mistress? Li Yi was so embarrassed now!

Yi Ling looked at Li Yi and said coldly: "I thought it was someone sent by the Buddhist sect, but I didn't expect it to be you? Have you become a monk?"

Yi Ling looked at Xia Houying beside her, and her voice became even colder. She asked, "Even if you become a monk, you still miss beautiful women. This is really your style!"

Damn it! How to explain this? We are just friends? Well, it seems that this explanation can be given. After all, Mr. Li has not yet revealed his feelings to Xia Houying. But if he really said that, I am afraid that they can only be friends in the future. So can Mr. Li say that?

Obviously not! Mr. Li is not the kind of person who would throw away watermelons to pick up sesame seeds. He wants to have the best of both worlds! So what should we do? Everyone, think about it? Give some advice? If you were in this situation, what would you do?

Let's take a look at what Mr. Li did. As the saying goes, the most exquisite ingredients often only require the simplest cooking. This is what Li Yi did. His method is very simple, just four words: pretend to be stupid.

Li Yi said to Yi Ling, "Hey, why are you here? That's great, help make a fire so we can dry our clothes."

Seeing that Li Yi was not going to tell the truth, Yi Ling turned to Xia Houying and asked, "Who are you, girl? Why did you come to such a dangerous place with this guy?"

Xiahou Ying bowed and said, "Xiahou Ying greets the Fairy. Do you know this lewd monk?"

"What lecherous monk? How can I be a lecherous monk? I am just a fake monk!"

Xia Houying questioned: "Fake monk? You actually lied to me! If you are a fake monk, then why did you hug me just now!"

Li Yi quickly explained: "That's to take you ashore!"

Yi Ling looked at Xia Houying and asked, "Xia Houying? Are you a descendant of King Yu?"

Xiahou Ying nodded and said, "Yes, I followed this lecherous monk when I knew he was going to look for the ruler of heaven."

Yi Ling asked, "Do you know where the measuring ruler is?"

Xia Houying shook her head and said, "I don't know. This lecherous monk said it might be somewhere in the underwater river."

Li Yi said unhappily, "Don't call me a lecherous monk. I've already said that I'm not a lecherous monk. I just pretended to be a monk for convenience."

At this time, two Taoist nuns came. Li Yi cleared his throat and said, "Yiling, let your sisters take her to dry her clothes first. I will talk to you about the measuring ruler."

Yi Ling said to the two Taoist nuns, "Please take this descendant of King Yu to change his clothes. I want to hear what this lecher has to say."

Li Yi thought to himself: Well, one calls me a lewd monk and the other calls me a lewd thief, this is not good!

The two nuns took Xia Houying to the woods nearby to make a fire and change clothes. Here, Li Yi and Yi Ling explained what happened. Yi Ling said, "Luo Yan, I have never heard of this name before. You said he is the mastermind behind the Shura Palace. We need to check this out. He may have just appeared recently."

Li Yi nodded and said, "Yes, I guess he has just reached the level of transcendental strength. I think Zhu Zi and I should be able to deal with him together."

Yi Ling said: "I didn't expect that you would actually help the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism to unite to deal with Shura Palace. This can be considered a merit."

Li Yi asked with concern, "Did Liu Hong invite you here? I was wondering how he could brazenly say that the three hundred Yanjia soldiers were enough. It turns out that he has the support of the Earth Sect. How many of you are here?"

Yi Ling said, "Including me, there are twenty people."

Li Yi nodded and said, "Oh, that's not a big problem. I have already dealt with the head of Xuanji Hall. The remaining small characters are enough for you to deal with."

Yi Ling smiled and said, "It seems that you are really not idle. Not only thinking about hugging women, but also doing some serious work."

Li Yi quickly explained: "There is nothing wrong between me and that Miss Xiahou. She is Liu Hong's fiancée!"

Yi Ling snorted coldly: "Senior Brother Liu is on the mountain, do you want me to ask him?"

Li Yi said sternly: "If you don't believe me, just go and ask him. You can also ask Miss Xiahou when she comes back! I can't lie to you about this!"

Yi Ling rolled her eyes at Li Yi and said, "Your clothes are dry now, go find your ruler, you don't need to worry about this."

Li Yi smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go right away. By the way, you should send Miss Xiahou to Liu Hong later, but don't tell him that I'm here."

Yi Ling asked: "Why?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that I disguised myself as a monk to hide from others? If Liu Hong knew I was here, how could I hide?"

Yi Ling nodded and said, "Okay. By the way, where is the token I gave you last time? Bring it here so I can see if you still have any spiritual power."

Li Yi said "oh" and took out the wooden sign from the sack and handed it to Yi Ling, who took the sign and put it in his sleeve pocket, then said, "Take Miss Xia Hou with you, we don't have time to look after idle people."

"Hey, hey, hey, give me back the token!"

Yi Ling said coldly: "That is the token of my Taohua Peak, why should I give it to you?"

Well, Li Yi thought that everything was peaceful and he could get away with it, but it turned out that the other party was holding a grudge against him.

Xia Houying came back from drying clothes, and Yi Ling stood up and said, "Miss Xia Hou, I heard that you are Liu Hong's fiancée?"

Xia Houying shook her head and said, "I haven't agreed to the marriage that my father proposed yet! I have to see what kind of person Liu Hong is before deciding whether to marry him or not."
