Chapter 721 The ceremony is over! Mysterious monk?

Luochen thought for a while and then replied: "I think it will be a peaceful and happy life. We can enjoy these beautiful flowers every day and live with the residents of the city."

Qingshuang nodded, with a hint of longing in her eyes, "I also hope that one day, we can have a little family of our own."

Luochen held Qingshuang's hand and said softly: "No matter where we are, as long as we are together, that is our home."

They looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with beautiful longings for the future.

In the evening, Luochen and Qingshuang decided to go to a restaurant in the city to taste local delicacies.

The restaurant was very lively, with guests sitting around, toasting, drinking, talking and laughing.

They ordered several local specialties and fine wine. Luochen and Qingshuang chatted while eating, enjoying this rare leisure.

"Luochen, do you know? I like the grilled fish here the most. The fish is fresh and tender and the seasoning is just right." Qing Shuang said while tasting the grilled fish.

Luochen smiled and replied: "I like it too, the chefs here are really good at it."

In this way, they spent a pleasant night in the restaurant. It was not until nightfall that they returned to the city lord's mansion to rest.

...

The next day.

The weather today doesn't seem to be very good.

Outside, it's a little cold.

Luochen rarely stayed in bed with Qingshuang for a while, and then he put on the thick coat on the bed and walked out of the room.

Although, Luochen and Qingshuang are both practitioners.

But one does not have to be a practitioner to be absolutely resistant to changes in the environment.

Cold, or hot.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang can still feel it.

Luochen and Qingshuang walked out of the room and were greeted by a gust of cold wind, which made them tighten their coats unconsciously.

Despite this, their mood was not affected, but they felt refreshed by the fresh air.

"Although the weather is a bit cold today, it seems to be a suitable day for adventure." Luo Chen turned to Qingshuang and said.

Qingshuang nodded, eyes flashing with excitement, "Yes, let's explore other places in this city. Maybe we will make new discoveries."

The two decided to go to the city's market first. The market is located in the center of the city, where there is a lively distribution center for various commodity transactions.

Luochen and Qingshuang shuttled among the bustling crowds, looking at each stall curiously.

"Luochen, look over there!" Qingshuang suddenly pointed to a stall and said excitedly.

Luo Chen looked in the direction Qingshuang pointed and saw an old man displaying his handicrafts. Various exquisite wood and stone carvings filled the stall.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang walked forward and carefully admired each piece of work.

"These works are truly exquisite, each one contains the hard work of the craftsmen." Luo Chen admired.

Qingshuang picked up a small wooden boat with fine carvings and asked: "Old man, how is this wooden boat made?"

The old man smiled and replied: "Little girl, this wooden boat is carved from fine sandalwood, and every detail is polished by me myself."

Luochen became very interested in the old man's works. He asked, "Old man, did you make all these works yourself?"

The old man nodded, "Yes, I have liked carving since I was a child. I have been studying this craft over the years."

Luochen and Qingshuang expressed their sincere admiration for the old man's craftsmanship and purchased several works as souvenirs.

After leaving the old man's stall, they continued to wander around the market.

At the other end of the market, a lively competition arena attracted their attention.

On the ring, two warriors were competing fiercely, surrounded by crowds of people watching.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were also attracted by this intense scene and stopped to watch.

"Qingshuang, let's try it too?" Luo Chen suggested.

A trace of excitement flashed in Qingshuang's eyes, "Okay, I haven't competed with anyone for a long time."

The two walked onto the ring and challenged the warriors present.

Luochen and Qingshuang's extraordinary skills quickly won the applause of the audience present.

After several rounds of competitions, they showed their superb martial arts skills and made many new friends.

At sunset, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang left the ring. They felt a little tired, but in an extremely happy mood.

The two found a small restaurant, ordered a few local specialties, and chatted while eating.

"Today is really a fulfilling day." Qingshuang said with satisfaction.

Luochen smiled and nodded, "Yes, there are new experiences and discoveries every day. This kind of life is really desirable."

They know that although these days are wonderful, the road to spiritual practice is still long.

They will continue to move forward, explore the unknown world, and constantly improve their cultivation.

As night fell, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang walked silently towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Luo Chen planned to go find his good friend, the lord of this city, to catch up on old times today.

However, this has not yet arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion.

He then noticed something strange coming from outside the city lord's mansion.

What can be clearly felt is that there seem to be many hairless monks outside the city lord's palace.

These monks wear monk's robes and hats.

With his hands clasped together, there was a strange aura exuding from his body.

"Qingshuang, something seems not quite right here..."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, and a trace of vigilance flashed in each other's eyes.

Qing Shuang held Luo Chen's hand tightly and whispered: "These monks don't look like ordinary practitioners. They have a kind of uneasy aura."

Luo Chen nodded and signaled Qing Shuang to keep quiet, then he quietly approached the City Lord's Mansion and tried to eavesdrop on the conversation of those monks.

Qing Shuang followed closely behind, and the two moved in the night like ghosts, trying not to make any sound.

"Where are these monks from?" Qing Shuang asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, but there is some evil in their aura, not like orthodox Buddhist disciples."

Luo Chen replied, his brows furrowed, obviously confused by the situation in front of him.

The two observed in the dark for a while and found that these monks seemed to be waiting for something.

Luo Chen decided to take the risk to approach. He signaled Qing Shuang to stay where she was, and he turned into a light smoke and quietly approached the monks.

Luo Chen's ear was pressed against the corner of the wall, listening carefully to the conversation of the monks.

"We must ensure that the plan is foolproof, and no one in the City Lord's Mansion can be spared." A deep voice sounded.

"Yes, Senior Brother, we have set up a barrier, and outsiders cannot detect our actions." Another voice answered.

Luo Chen was shocked and realized that these monks were plotting something bad, and they seemed to have taken action against the people in the City Lord's Mansion.

He quickly returned to Qingshuang and told her what he had heard.

"We have to find a way to stop them." A trace of determination flashed in Qingshuang's eyes.

Luo Chen nodded, he knew that now was not the time to hesitate.

The two quickly made a plan and decided to act separately. Luo Chen went to find the City Lord, while Qingshuang went to find other helpers in the City Lord's Mansion.

Luo Chen carefully bypassed the monks' sight and used his invisibility to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion.

He found the City Lord's study and found that the City Lord was besieged by several monks.

Luo Chen acted without hesitation and knocked down the monks with lightning speed.

"Luo Chen, why are you here?" The city lord saw Luo Chen, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"City lord, now is not the time to explain. There are a large number of monks outside with bad intentions. We must take action immediately." Luo Chen said anxiously.

The city lord nodded and quickly summoned the guards and servants in the mansion to prepare for the upcoming crisis.

At the same time, Qingshuang looked for helpers in the city lord's mansion.

She found a few loyal servants and told them the situation outside.

The servants immediately picked up their weapons and followed Qingshuang to prepare for the battle.

Luo Chen and the city lord led the guards and servants to rush out of the mansion and started a fierce battle with the monks.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang were agile and cooperated tacitly, and soon repelled the first wave of the monks' offensive.

"You evil monks, dare to make trouble in the city!" Luo Chen shouted angrily.

"Humph, they are just some minions, the real masters are still behind." A leader among the monks sneered.

At this moment, a tall monk walked out from the crowd of monks, his eyes revealing a chilling murderous aura.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang knew that the real battle had just begun.

"You two, don't think about leaving alive today." The tall monk said coldly, and then waved the Zen stick in his hand and attacked Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang fought side by side. They knew that this battle was about the safety of the city and the life and death of everyone.

The two used all their skills to fight a life-and-death battle with the tall monk.

The battle was extremely fierce. Luo Chen and Qing Shuang gradually gained the upper hand with their tacit cooperation and superb martial arts.

Although the tall monk was extremely powerful, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were light and agile, and they could always avoid his heavy blows at critical moments.

Qing Shuang's sword light was like water, and Luo Chen's fist wind was like thunder. The two complemented each other, making it difficult for the monk to resist.

"How can you mortals understand the true meaning of my Buddha!" ​​The monk roared, and every time he swung his Zen stick, there was a sound of wind and thunder.

Luo Chen sneered, "The truth? I think you are just evil ghosts in Buddhist clothes!"

Qing Shuang was calmer, she knew that there could be no slack in this battle.

She said to Luo Chen: "Luo Chen, we have to end the battle as soon as possible, and we can't let them have a chance to breathe."

Luo Chen nodded, and the two launched an attack at the same time.

Luo Chen's boxing skills were integrated with his internal strength that he had practiced for many years, and each punch contained a powerful destructive force.

Qing Shuang's sword skills were like flowing clouds and water. Wherever the sword tip pointed, the monk's monk's robe was cut, revealing blood marks on his skin.

Although the monk was powerful, he gradually became powerless under the joint efforts of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

Finally, after a wonderful cooperation, Luo Chen punched the monk in the chest, and Qing Shuang's sword tip also pierced his shoulder.

The monk let out a painful roar, the staff slipped out of his hand, and his body fell backwards.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang did not give him any chance to breathe, they jumped up at the same time and completely subdued him.

The battle was over, and the guards and servants of the city lord's mansion cheered.

The city lord came forward and expressed his deep gratitude to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

"Thanks to you, we were able to escape danger." The city lord said gratefully.

Luo Chen waved his hand, "You are too polite, this is what we should do."

Qingshuang smiled and responded, "City Lord, you have always taken good care of us. We are also very happy to help you this time."

The city lord nodded, then turned to the monks and ordered the guards to tie them all up and prepare to hand them over to the government.

As the night deepened, the city lord's mansion returned to peace. Luo Chen and Qingshuang were arranged by the city lord to rest in a comfortable guest room.

Lying on the bed, Luo Chen looked at the ceiling, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

"Qingshuang, what happened today made me realize that no matter where we go, we may encounter dangers and challenges." Luo Chen said softly.

Qingshuang turned sideways and looked at him gently, "Yes, but as long as you are by my side, no matter what kind of difficulties, I will not be afraid."

Luo Chen smiled and reached out to hold Qingshuang's hand, "We still have a long way to go together and face more challenges together."

Qingshuang nodded, his eyes full of determination, "No matter what the future holds, we will go on together."

The two smiled at each other, then hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's warmth and strength.

In this world full of unknowns, they know that as long as they are with each other, nothing is impossible.

About a few days later.

In the morning, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang bid farewell to the city lord and left the city.

The grand ceremony, of course, has ended.

Although the grand ceremony is over, the prosperity of the city remains the same.

"Brother, are you going out of the city?"

At the gate of the city, a middle-aged man saw Luo Chen and Qing Shuang beside him, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, we have other things to deal with." Luo Chen responded politely.

"Then you have to be careful, it's not peaceful outside recently." The middle-aged man kindly reminded.

"Thank you for reminding us, we will pay attention." Qing Shuang replied with a smile.

The two walked through the city gate and embarked on a new journey.

The sun shone on them, adding a touch of warmth to their journey.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang walked side by side, their figures stretched in the morning light, looking particularly firm.

"Luo Chen, have you ever thought about where we are going?" Qing Shuang suddenly asked.

Luo Chen was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I don't know, but I always feel that our road is still long, and there are still many things waiting for us to do."

Qing Shuang nodded, she knew that Luo Chen was telling the truth.

Since they embarked on the road of cultivation, they were destined to face countless challenges and unknowns.

"No matter what, I will stay with you." Qing Shuang said firmly.

Luo Chen turned his head to look at Qing Shuang, his eyes full of gratitude and love.

He knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, as long as Qing Shuang was there, he would not feel lonely.
