Mortal Mirror

The monk, upon hearing Li Ergou's words, slightly raised his head to look at the sky and continued, "Flowing into the sea, never to return."

Li Ergou then said, "Candle Dragon in the sky."

The monk responded, "The five continents tremble."

At this moment, Li Ergou, through the code, had confirmed that the person in front of him was indeed a member of the Candle Dragon Cult.

As they approached each other, Li Ergou hesitated and said, "I am You Yu, may I ask who you are?"

"Amitabha, Eight Vajras You Yu, truly seeing is better than hearing. I have no Dharma name, but those in the cult call me Sleeping Dragon Monk."

"Sleeping Dragon Monk, quite an imposing name." Li Ergou raised an eyebrow and then asked, "What is your position in the cult, and what do you seek me for?"

The Sleeping Dragon Monk said, "I just came down from the prefecture. I have now been appointed as one of the Four Guardians of Fish City. From now on, you and I will be the contact persons, not just you, but all of the Eight Vajras will be under my contact."

Li Ergou was slightly stunned and said, "Aren't there only Left and Right Guardians? How did it suddenly become Four Guardians?"

"This was just decided by the hall master, and there hasn't been time to inform you yet."

Li Ergou curled his lips. He really wasn't interested in knowing. In the future, he would have to find a way to wipe out all these guys.

He then inquired, "You're contacting us Eight Vajras? Oh, right, have all the Vajras been gathered?"

The Sleeping Dragon Monk looked embarrassed and said, "Not yet. Right now, it's just you, but eventually, they will all be here."

Li Ergou: "..."

After all that, he realized that this guy's contact person was just himself. He couldn't help but sneer, feeling that the Candle Dragon Cult was nothing more than this.

The Sleeping Dragon Monk seemed to see Li Ergou's dissatisfaction and immediately explained, "We Candle Dragon Cult members are not about quantity, but about quality.

Furthermore, our cult's purpose is to punish evil and promote good, so we cannot absorb too many miscellaneous people."

"Punish evil and promote good?" Li Ergou scorned in his heart. He had never seen a cult that controlled people by feeding them poison, while also telling you that they punish evil and promote good.

If we're going to do bad things, then let's just do bad things. Why be a whore and erect a signboard at the same time? Too hypocritical. At this moment, he looked down on these guys even more.

So, he was too lazy to waste any more words with this guy and said, "Forget it, quickly tell me what you need me for."

The Sleeping Dragon Monk sighed slightly and said, "It seems that you still have some misunderstandings about our Candle Dragon Cult, which is not good. Never mind, in the future, you will know what our Candle Dragon Cult does."

Li Ergou remained silent, thinking, 'I believe you're a ghost.' You're colluding with people like the county magistrate, and you still consider yourselves good people? Sooner or later, the imperial court will destroy you all.

Feeling displeased, he wasn't afraid of this Sleeping Dragon Monk and didn't give him a good look.

The Sleeping Dragon Monk was a little embarrassed and said, "This time, I'm looking for you because there is a rather big matter. Last night, the Divine Sword Manor was destroyed, and today it was sealed off by the imperial court.

Unfortunately, some time ago, we spent a lot of money to forge a batch of weapons there, which are of considerable value. The hall master hopes that you can retrieve these things.

At that time, there will not only be rewards, but you will also be credited."

"Divine Sword Manor!" Li Ergou knew that these guys coming to find him would not be up to any good, but he didn't expect it would be this kind of thing.

He pondered for a moment and said, "It's very troublesome. When I just came out, I heard people talking about this matter. I didn't expect you to be involved as well. This is really not easy to do.

It's not that I'm making excuses, but now that the Divine Sword Manor is sealed off and such a big thing has happened, the imperial court will not allow anyone to move even a single thing there. Aren't you making things difficult for me?"

Upon hearing this, the Sleeping Dragon Monk said nonchalantly, "You Yu, this is the first task the cult has given you, and I hope you will cherish and perform well. The solution is found by people. If there are difficulties, we will solve them.

If you handle this matter well, I can recommend you, and then the cult can make some arrangements, perhaps allowing you to advance further. Remember my words, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

Now you have a reputation, although your position is low, your energy is great. I believe you can do it."

Li Ergou didn't expect this old guy to be quite skilled, casually showering you with flattery and promising benefits.

Putting aside everything else, he really had some thoughts about advancing further. If he didn't get promoted quickly, wouldn't he have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to marry Zhu Zhu? Advancement, he really wanted to advance.

After pondering for a moment, he finally nodded and said, "Well, okay, I can only say I'll try my best. When the time comes, how should I find you?"

The Sleeping Dragon Monk said, "From now on, you and I will have single-line contact. As long as you leave a mark under the big locust tree, indicating the place where we should meet, I will appear."

Li Ergou's face turned cold. After all that, these people still didn't trust him. They could find him, but he couldn't easily find them.

Well, these guys are cautious, not just afraid of the imperial court's thunderous methods, as long as they don't expose him when they are caught.

He nodded slightly and said, "Okay, give me the list of items and wait for my news."

Only then did the Sleeping Dragon Monk reveal a satisfied smile and said, "That's right, young man, you must dare to fight and dare to struggle. The future of the Candle Dragon Cult still depends on you young people. Little guy, work hard, I have high hopes for you."

Saying that, he took out a slip of paper and threw it to Li Ergou.

Li Ergou took the paper and curled his lips and said, "Thank you for the praise, but I don't know if I can succeed, I can only do my best."

After saying that, Li Ergou ignored the monk and turned to leave, really not wanting to waste any more words with these guys. Candle Dragon Cult, humph, wait, I'll clean you up sooner or later.

On the way back, Li Ergou heard that there were quite a few people on the street discussing the Divine Sword Manor. Li Ergou didn't expect people to be so well-informed now.

Perhaps it was still because the Divine Sword Manor had too great a reputation, making people unable to help but pay attention.

Ignoring much, he originally wanted to go straight home, but now it seemed that he still needed to go to the yamen to see the situation. If possible, he would take the opportunity to get those things out.

At this moment, he looked at the paper, wanting to see what amazing things the people of the Candle Dragon Cult had made in the Divine Sword Manor, that they would not hesitate to use him, this hidden piece.

When he saw the things on it, 'My goodness,' ten Snowflake Swords, one Great Sun Divine Bow, five Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles, one set of Alphabet Linked Blades, good stuff.

These things were of considerable value, no wonder the people of the Candle Dragon Cult were anxious. It had to be said, if he could also get a share, wouldn't he be rich? With these weapons, he would be equivalent to having a small armory.

If for nothing else, it seemed worthwhile to risk a try just for these things.

With this thought in mind, he strode towards the yamen.
