The Way of Spiritual Journey

Chapter 18, Another Chick

"Alright, stop with the double act. We're all here. Those three were doing business with no capital. Luckily, they were killed quickly." Li Lang rolled his eyes at the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix Chick, secretly laughing to himself, "With your petty schemes, who are you trying to fool?"

"Hehe, that's good enough. I knew that following Brother Lang, we would never suffer any losses." Monk Wolong smiled amiably, stuffed the silver notes into his pocket, stood up, and his tone changed drastically. "Brother Lang, just do it. Whether we find it or not, we brothers will absolutely not tell anyone."

However, Li Lang's face was stiff, his eyes were wide open, and he sat on the ground like an old bell, motionless.

"Brother Lang?" Monk Wolong stepped forward and called out tentatively, but Li Lang seemed not to hear him. The monk was surprised and was about to reach out again when he was pulled back by Taoist Fengchu.

"Don't move him. He's in deep meditation. He must be facing another opportunity. We mustn't interrupt him." The Phoenix Chick Taoist's expression was solemn. He wasn't sure if he was right or wrong, but anyway, he just shouldn't touch Li Lang.

Li Lang was indeed in a meditative state. After the silver note was sold, he felt a buzzing in his head. At the time, he didn't pay attention to it, taking it as a natural reaction to losing money, and continued to chat and laugh with the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix.

But the next moment, a buzzing sound suddenly arose in my mind, and a bright light suddenly lit up like a star in the dark night, its light flashing.

Without warning, Li Lang's consciousness was suddenly pulled closer to the stars. At this moment, the light changed again, becoming erratic, as if it had come alive.

Heaven has its way, the earth nurtures its spirit, and all things come to life; the power of virtue nourishes the foundation.

The light traced a line of large characters in the darkness, which then disappeared in an instant, transforming into countless rays of light that flowed back into the stars. After a slight flicker, they vanished without a trace.

In fact, this star did not appear out of thin air. It became this star when Li Lang was shot through the back of the head by that smoke arrow, but at that time the star had no luster and went unnoticed.

Li Lang saw the stars and felt both joy and surprise. He was joyful because after so long since transmigrating, things were finally a little different. Could this be the legendary God System? Of course, this was just his guess; he actually knew nothing at all.

So, Li Lang was surprised again. The large characters that appeared in his mind were clearly referring to something, but what were they referring to? Li Lang had no idea.

Li Lang racked his brains, recalling everything carefully, trying not to miss any detail.

After a while, Li Lang sorted out his thoughts; the starlight must have a purpose, and he would find out what it was later. So the question was, where did it come from? And why did it light up?

That smoke arrow, it must have been shot in here and then settled down. Whether it's good or evil is still uncertain, but we can't get rid of it anyway, so let's just leave it as it is for now.

As for why it suddenly lit up, that required a lot of Li Lang's brainpower to figure out—the silver notes! Yes, it was when he handed over the silver notes that the anomaly occurred in his mind.

The power of virtue nourishes the foundation; is spending money the same as virtue? Only then can it nourish and illuminate.

What is this thing? It's as quiet as an old dog when it's making money, but it gets all excited and trembles when it's spending it. It's a complete money pit!

"God, can I just give up?" That made sense. After Li Lang figured all this out, he was filled with grief and indignation, wanting to cry but unable to. He looked up at the sky and cried out silently.

"Brother Lang, Brother Lang, it's not that serious. This little bit of silver is just an external thing. You can earn more after you spend it. The rich days are yet to come." At this moment, Li Lang heard the sly voice of the monk Wolong.

Li Lang shivered and came to his senses.

The four eyes of the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix peered over, and there was indeed concern in their gazes, which brought Li Lang some comfort.

At this moment, the woman in black had already sat up, her face no longer pale. It seemed that she had taken the medicine and was recovering well. However, the mockery in her eyes made Li Lang very unhappy.

"Who sent you? Why didn't you wait for me?" Li Lang was displeased, his tone even more unfriendly, his gaze fixed on Zhuge Liang and Feng Chu, as if questioning them.

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were stunned, their faces flushed red, and they stammered, unable to answer.

"Could it be? You're all together?" Upon seeing this, Li Lang was shocked, his face filled with disbelief.

"Amitabha......"

"Amitabha Buddha..."

The Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix trembled, their old faces turning even redder, but they dared not answer. Instead, they made hand gestures and began to chant.

"Ah? Hahaha..." Li Lang understood, feeling a surge of relief. He stood up, laughing as he glanced at the woman. "You little brat, daring to mock me? You probably don't know what it feels like to be utterly humiliated on the spot, do you?"

"snort!"

The woman's face was already flushed. She knew exactly what Li Lang meant. She was about to retort, but she held back and just snorted coldly in resentment.

"I will never forget the kindness of my three brothers, and I will never break my promise. I hope that my three brothers will help me return to the capital to fulfill my promise." The woman stood up, clasped her hands in a respectful bow, and spoke with great sincerity.

This woman is quite something. She dares to call monks and Taoists "brother" so naturally. With that kind of temperament, she can succeed anywhere.

Yes, if we don't get her to her destination, we won't get the rest of the money; that's what she promised us back then.

Li Lang didn't think much about it at the time; he just wanted to make some gains first. If the risks were too high, he would retreat immediately. After all, life is the most important thing, isn't it?

Fortunately, the previous matters were handled fairly well, so the next step is to reassess the subsequent risks.

Of course, that's not the main point. The main point is that Li Lang needs money now, no, he needs to spend money. He has that spendthrift thing tied to him.

"Oh dear, what a terrible thing to do!" Li Lang sighed inwardly.

"You, are you also a virgin?" At this moment, the sly voice of the monk Wolong suddenly rang out.

"Cough cough cough cough." Li Lang's thoughts were interrupted, and he choked on a mouthful of water, coughing incessantly.

"Is this really a monk? Or is he a fake? How can someone ask such a question?" Li Lang wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

"You, you're the one who's a novice, your whole family are novices!" Upon hearing the monk's words, the fledgling swallow was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, the phoenix-like Taoist priest couldn't hold back any longer. His old face turned red, and he looked furious as he stepped forward, shouting as if he wanted to argue with the monk.

"Did I ask you? Did I ask you? Why are you in such a hurry!" Monk Wolong suppressed a laugh and quickly dodged away, his fat body jiggling.

"Bald monk, I'll fight you to the death!" Fengchu was completely enraged, rolled up his sleeves and chased after him.

"The monk is called Crouching Dragon, and the Taoist is called Phoenix Chick." Li Lang said casually when he saw that Chu Yan still didn't understand.

"And what about you?" Chu Yan asked back, not wanting the conversation to fall flat.

"Li Lang".

"A man from Langya Mountain has appeared. Are you that man?" Upon hearing the name, Chu Yan's heart stirred, and she blurted out the question.
