Chapter 3181

"Mister Mo is back!" Ji Dong frowned and exclaimed, "But Mister Mo …"

Yes, Mister Mo stepped on the river and flew across the sky, landing right in front of them. Unfortunately, his hands were empty, not even the corpses of the fishermen.

"My apologies …" Mo Jianli landed, ignoring Zhu Junfeng and Mister Tai An. Instead, he walked up to the fishermen and bowed. "I have failed you. Not only did I not find Sun Laoer and the others, I did not even see their corpses!"

"Mister Mo, you didn't go with the river?" The fishermen asked in disbelief.

"Of course I did!"

Mo Jianli was not embarrassed by the fishermen's pointing fingers. He explained calmly, "I have checked the area within a few miles!

Including the bottom of the river! "

"Hiss …" The fishermen were shocked, their bodies trembling. "Could it be … could it be …"

"I don't know what it is, and I didn't see it, so I don't dare to say anything.

But for now, don't come out to fish at night! "

Mo Jianli said in a gentle voice, "Of course, we will try to find the reason around the Longevity Town, but there might be some accidents!

You should wait until the truth is out … "

"But we all fish for a living. Even if we don't come out at night, we have to come to Liao River during the day!" One of the fishermen said boldly.

"Sigh …" Mo Jianli sighed, looked at Zhu Junfeng, and said to the fisherman, "The Longevity Academy of the Chongyun Sect will do its best to protect you.

However, you all still need to be careful! "

Mo Jianli then took out a silver coin from his pocket and handed it to the fisherman. He said, "This is for Sun Laoer's mother. Please give it to that poor old woman for me!"

"Thank you, Mister Mo!"

The fisherman took it gratefully. "I thank you on behalf of Sun Laoer. I will definitely bring this to Sun Laoer. Please don't worry."

"You can go now!" Mo Jianli waved his hand. "The fishing boat has been found. Go home quickly!"

"Yes … Thank you, Mister Mo!"

The fishermen were overjoyed, but still scared. They packed up their fishing gear and their harvest and hurried back.

"Greetings, Mr. Li!"

Zhu Junfeng could still call the few scholars Martial Uncle, but Mo Jianli, who was a scholar, could only call him Grandmaster!

However, among Confucian cultivators, 'Teacher' was an honorific, regardless of seniority. Most Confucian cultivators liked to hear this honorific, so Zhu Junfeng naturally addressed him as' Teacher '.

"Yes, Principal Zhu ~" There was no trace of a smile on Mo Jianli's face. He seemed to be feeling guilty about what had happened just now. He cupped his hands and bowed. "This old man will be troubling the principal for a period of time from now on!"

"I don't dare. Sir, please call me Junfeng!"

Zhu Junfeng hurriedly said respectfully, "Sir, you are my senior. Regardless of knowledge or cultivation, you are my teacher. The dean is just a common name. Sir, please don't humiliate me!"

"Alright!"

Mo Jianli nodded, then bowed to Mr. Tai 'an and said, "Mr. Tai' an, I haven't seen you for many years. Today, I see that you are still as strong as before!"

"Mr. Mo!"

Mr. Tai 'an was not convinced before he came here. However, when he saw Mo Jianli was neither arrogant nor humble. Mo Jianli was so amiable even in front of a few lowly fishermen, he was convinced. He hurriedly bowed and said, "In the early years, I just explained a few things to you. I don't dare to call myself your teacher!"

"Sir, you are wrong!

A teacher for a day is a father for life! "

Mo Jianli's tone was still a bit indifferent. "Although you have never been my teacher, a few words of advice are enough!

It is the tradition of Confucian cultivators to respect their teachers. If I don't acknowledge you as my teacher just because my cultivation is higher than yours, how can I carry forward the inheritance of Confucian cultivators? "

"Haha, Mr. Mo!" Mr. Tai 'an laughed. "You can call me Mr. Mo. You don't have to call yourself my student!

Otherwise, as a scholar, if I were to hear a scholar call me teacher, I would also feel uncomfortable in my heart! "

"Alright, I got it!"

Mo Jianli didn't hesitate. He nodded and said to Zhu Junfeng, "Junfeng, did you hear what the fishermen said just now?

Do you know what's going on? "

"I've heard about it!"

Zhu Junfeng hurriedly replied. "I've never seen such a situation in all my years in Longevity Town!

However, legend has it that thousands of years ago, Liao River was inhabited by the Water Tribe. These Water Tribe are cruel and often eat mortals alive!

Every year, the Longevity Town would have to hand over virgin boys and girls on time. Otherwise, they would flood the town! "

"That's right!" Mr. Tai 'an nodded. "I've heard about it too!

Because of the Water Tribe, the Longevity Town was plunged into misery and suffering. The people had no way of making a living. Almost every family was wailing in grief. Seven out of ten people left for other places.

Later on, an immortal passed by the Liao River and saw a group of fishermen carrying a crying boy and girl to throw into the Liao River as a sacrifice to the Water Tribe. Only then did he make a move to subdue the demon. He fought with the Water Tribe for three days and three nights, fighting until the sky turned dark and the earth turned dark.

In the end, the Water Tribe was killed. Blood flowed all over the river. The immortal floated away … "

"Mm. Later on, in order to commemorate this immortal, the Longevity Town built a Taoist temple for him on Jiangchao Ridge. It's called Jiangchao Temple!" Zhu Junfeng continued. "They even called the statue the God of the River!"

"Junfeng, thousands of years ago, was there a Longevity Academy in Longevity Town?" Mo Jianli asked abruptly.

"Of course there wasn't!"

Zhu Junfeng said curiously. "My Chongyun Sect only built the Longevity Academy 6,755 years ago. At that time … I'm afraid my Chongyun Sect was still a small sect, right?"

"Mm …" Mo Jianli nodded. "However, even if there wasn't a Longevity Academy in the Chongyun Sect, there was still a Jingzhu Academy in the Bamboo Sect.

So why didn't the Longevity Town spread the story of the Jingzhu Academy, but instead built a Taoist temple in Jiangchao Ridge? "

"This … I don't know!" Zhu Junfeng was a little embarrassed. "The academy's records about this are not very detailed!"

"Mm, I don't mean to blame you!"

Mo Jianli explained. "I received a secret order from the sect and found this information in the sect's records about the Longevity Town.

I didn't know about this before! "

"Mister, please enlighten me!" Zhu Junfeng clasped his hands and said.

"There's no other reason!

It's because the students of the Jingzhu Academy from the Bamboo Sect all died in the battle with the Water Tribe. None of them survived!

And that so-called immortal was just passing by when the Water Tribe died and took advantage of the situation!

It's not like the stories said, where they saw some virgin boys and girls! "

Mo Jianli sneered. "That so-called immortal … was not a Taoist cultivator, but a Buddhist disciple!

But that disciple was not a monk who shaved his head, so he was mistaken for a Taoist cultivator! "

"A Buddhist disciple who didn't shave his head?" Zhu Junfeng was surprised. "There … there's such a person?

Which one is it? "

"The sect's records didn't mention it in detail, so I don't know. Don't ask too much. I guess the sect didn't want to leave behind a thick mark of the Buddhism Sect in the Longevity Town!"

Mo Jianli said lightly. "And in the following thousands of years, the number of Buddhist cultivators gradually decreased. On the contrary, there were more and more monks who shaved their heads in the Zang Xian Continent!"

"Oh …" Zhu Junfeng was deep in thought. Mr. Tai 'an frowned and said, "Mister Mo, so what happened today …"

"This … I don't know either. Maybe it's a little strange!"

Mo Jianli sighed. He turned to look at the moon, which had already set, and the Liao River, which was covered in mist again, and said, "Our Chongyun Martial School has received some news. It seems that some water-kind creatures have come to the Liao River. As for whether they are the descendants of those water-kind creatures thousands of years ago, and whether they want to harm the Longevity Town, the Martial School has no right to know!

But for the safety of the Longevity Academy, I have been ordered to come here! "

"Hiss …" Hearing this, Zhu Junfeng gasped and said hurriedly, "The Water Tribe are naturally demons. They have a long lifespan, which is far from the human race. This Liao River is far away from the East Sea, and there hasn't been any Water Tribe members wreaking havoc for hundreds of years. If there really are Water Tribe members coming, they must be the descendants of the Water Tribe!"

"It's too early to make a judgment now!" Mo Jianli waved his hand. "It's better to wait and see!"

"Oh right, mister!"

Mr. Tai 'an looked at Zhu Junfeng and said in a low voice, "The Xiao Jin Temple seems to have sent experts here too. Could it be because of this?"

"Maybe!"

Mo Jianli's eyes flashed with a trace of disgust. "The Buddhism Sect is everywhere in the Zang Xian Continent. Their Dharma is the best at bewitching people. What happened in the Longevity Town thousands of years ago may be hidden from ordinary people, but it may not be hidden from the Buddhism Sect's experts.

And now they have many spies in the Zang Xian Continent. The sources of information are no less than us Confucian cultivators!

If the Chongyun Sect can get the information, they can get it even more!

Besides, the Xiao Jin Temple has grown from a small temple of two or three monks to a temple of thirty or forty people. Its future is limitless. It can't be ignored by the Yunlin Temple!

I just don't know which monk from the Yunlin Temple came here today! "

"And …" Zhu Junfeng suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly, "This afternoon, a demon appeared on the streets of the Longevity Town …"

"Oh?

What demon?

What's its cultivation level? "Mo Jianli's eyes lit up as he asked.

Zhu Junfeng hurriedly told him what he heard, and then said, "A few students from the Academy who returned early have seen it!

Mister, why don't you come back with me and ask for more details? "

"That's right!" Mo Jianli clapped his hands and said, "Since there are traces of that demon, I'm more confident now!

Ji Dong, you stay here. If you encounter anything strange, just go back to the Academy and report it to me! "

"Yes, Mister Mo!" Ji Dong answered and walked out from the crowd …

PS: Yesterday was Xuan Qing's birthday. This afternoon, I'll add a chapter to thank him for writing so many pirated stories.

At the same time, I'd like to thank other fellow cultivators for their support …
