Chapter 828: Chapter 828: Enchanting Little Fox Monster vs. Justice-Seeking Female Taoist (Part 4)
Gu Shengyin and Yun Shu settled down in this small town.
Yun Shu, a lonely little girl living with a guard, was rumored to have lost all her relatives. Neighbors couldn’t help but feel sympathy when they spoke about her, and they treated her with extra kindness.
In less than half a month, the naturally gentle Yun Shu became familiar with the people around her. Each time she went out, she could greet the various aunts in the neighborhood.
Gu Shengyin carefully sensed the surroundings. This small town was a standard human city, with no presence of cultivators.
To ordinary humans, True Cultivators were akin to legendary beings.
True Cultivators have their own set of rules. For instance, in such human cities, they are not allowed to use True Yuan, nor can they reveal their identity as True Cultivators in public.
True Cultivators must not disturb human life.
This was a rule established between the human emperor and True Cultivators.
The human emperor is protected by innate dragon aura and favored by the Heavenly Dao. Even cultivators dare not easily defy their words.
In other words, this place is very safe.
It’s unclear why in the original storyline, Master Wu Xin would come to such a place. In this lifetime, Gu Shengyin didn’t believe that knowing all this, she couldn’t avoid her before gaining enough strength.
As the years went by, after staying in this small city for three years, Yun Shu and Gu Shengyin moved to a new place.
This was really done out of necessity.
Yun Shu, being a shape-shifting Tree Demon, could not change her appearance like a normal human girl from year to year. Three years using spells occasionally to alter her appearance was already the limit.
Shi Tou was driving the carriage, and Yun Shu held Gu Shengyin inside the carriage.
“The sun is really strong.” Yun Shu said somewhat listlessly.
As a tree, Yun Shu did not like such weather because the intense sunlight would make her beautiful leaves wither.
Gu Shengyin had grown a bit taller, and now when she stood, she could reach Yun Shu’s knees in height.
“Hang in there, Yun Shu. We’ll be in Lotus City soon.” Gu Shengyin comforted her.
Lotus City is the only city in this world where cultivators and humans coexist.
It’s also the only city where monsters can coexist with cultivators and humans.
This is because a large Buddhist sect, the Lotus Platform Sect, resides in this city.
If there is a group of people in this world who are truly dedicated to goodness, without regard for race or personal gain, and are focused solely on cultivating future lives and good thoughts,
then it would only be the Buddhist cultivators of the Lotus Platform Sect.
There are many Buddhist sects in this world, but the most convincing one is the Lotus Platform Sect.
Even the arrogant Monster Race, who usually look down on the hypocritical Human Race and the self-proclaimed Righteous Path cultivators, are quite respectful to the Buddhist cultivators of the Lotus Platform Sect.
In theory, knowing about such a city, Gu Shengyin and the others should have gone there earlier.
However, Gu Shengyin wants to avoid Master Wu Xin.
She knows that Master Wu Xin has always disapproved of the Lotus Platform Sect’s “pretensions,” and even often frequented cities around Lotus City, specifically to wait for those monsters rushing to seek refuge to fall into her trap.
Her actions even aroused dissatisfaction among some Buddhist cultivators in the Lotus Platform Sect. An Arhat even personally drove her away.
But Master Wu Xin, relying on the Buddhist cultivators’ mercy not to be lethal, continued her ways undeterred.
In Gu Shengyin’s words, this old nun is not only ruthless but also shameless.
