Five kinds of medicine in another world

Chapter 200: The army is approaching, the abbot is helpless

The 100,000-strong army led by Lu Chao was as powerful as a surging dragon. They crossed mountains and rivers at an astonishing speed and arrived outside the Demon-Suppressing County in less than ten days. At this moment, the Demon-Suppressing County had been completely renewed, regaining its former prosperity and even more lively than before.

In front of the city gate of Zhenmo County, there stood several monk soldiers wearing robes and holding sticks. They watched the arrival of the imperial army with serious expressions.

These monk soldiers knew very well how powerful the army before them was, and they could not help but feel a little fearful. Facing such a powerful imperial army, they naturally did not dare to easily block its advance.

When the monks saw the flags of the imperial army fluttering in the wind, they responded quickly.

One of the monks immediately turned and ran towards the city, apparently to pass on this important news to the city's high-ranking officials. The other monk soldiers stepped aside without hesitation to make way for the imperial army.

Seeing that the monk soldiers were so tactful, Lu Chao was shocked and put the long sword at his waist back into the scabbard.

Originally, he planned to take this opportunity to intimidate the other party, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary.

After all, the monk soldiers retreated voluntarily, which gave him no reason to get angry.

Lu Chao waved his hand, and the 100,000 troops behind him rushed in like a group of hungry wolves, walked straight into the Demon-Suppressing County, and rushed towards the newly built Demon-Suppressing Temple with great momentum.

Outside the Demon-Suppressing Temple, Luo Yong stood with a bitter look on his face, accompanied by the former abbot of the Bodhi Temple and now the Demon-Suppressing Temple. The abbot looked at everything in front of him with a calm face, as if everything was under his control. Luo Yong looked at the abbot helplessly, secretly complaining in his heart.

If he had known that the abbot had such a plan, he would have refused to accept the position of the so-called governor of Zhenmo County. He originally thought that this position would allow him to better benefit the people, but he did not expect that he would become a tool of the abbot in the end. Now seeing the imperial army getting closer and closer, the bitterness on Luo Yong's face became more and more intense.

"Amitabha!" The abbot put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name softly. Then he looked at Luo Yong and said softly:

"You don't have to worry. Everything has its cause. What we did today is also to save the people."

Luo Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Master, I understand your good intentions, but can this really save the people?"

The abbot smiled and said, "It is hard to predict what will happen in this world. We can only do our best."

As they were talking, a hundred thousand strong army had already arrived in front of the Demon-Suppressing Temple.

Lu Chao rode his warhorse and slowly walked in front of the abbot and Luo Yong. He glanced at the abbot, then at Luo Yong, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"You are the abbot of the Demon-Suppressing Temple, right?"

Lu Chao asked coldly.

The abbot smiled slightly and said, "It is me."

Lu Chao said directly:

"In compliance with the order of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, I will lead a hundred thousand troops to station in the Demon Suppression Temple to prevent the demons from counterattacking. The Demon Extermination Army will be responsible for clearing out the remaining demons. There must be no mistakes."

After Lu Chao finished speaking, he looked quietly at the old abbot in front of him without saying a word.

"Brother Lu Chao, long time no see, haha."

Xiao Yao fell from the sky and landed not far in front of Lu Chao, followed by Zhao Tianran, the head of the Zhao family.

"Brother Xiaoyao, Patriarch Zhao, how are you?"

Lu Chao cupped his hands. He certainly couldn't treat the saint with the same attitude as he treated the Demon-Suppressing Temple, especially since they were old acquaintances.

"Brother Xiao Yao and Patriarch Zhao came here this time, could it be that they want to wade into this muddy water?"

Lu Chao asked directly.

In Lu Chao's eyes, having saints involved and not having saints involved are two completely different concepts. If a saint stands on the platform, then the strategy must naturally be changed.

Xiao Yao waved his hand and said:

"I don't care about your business. First of all, I am here to join the demon-killing army and do my part for the people of this world. Secondly, Master Luo Yong has been very kind to Nineteen. I must take good care of Nineteen before he goes into seclusion. I came here to see Master Luo Yong. Your business has nothing to do with me."

After Xiao Yao finished speaking, Zhao Tianran, who was standing beside him, also spoke:

"I came to see my daughter. I, Zhao Tianran, cannot stand by and watch Master Luo Yong get into trouble. As for the matter of the Demon-Exterminating Army, we will discuss it later. I haven't made a decision yet. I came here mainly to accompany my daughter."

Lu Chao nodded happily when he heard this. In his eyes, the old abbot in front of him was nothing at all. As long as the saint did not get involved, the matter was already more than half settled.

"General Lu Chao, long time no see, haha."

Gongsun Wen and Yuwen Nuo, who had just arrived, also greeted Lu Chao and then stood in Lu Chao's camp.

Seeing this, Lu Chao understood something and quickly responded with a smile:

"Governor Gongsun, Governor Yuwen, long time no see. I heard that you two are forming a demon-killing army again. The emperor has specially ordered me to protect the Demon-Suppressing County. You two can go ahead and do it without any worries."

Gongsun Wen and Yuwen Nuo nodded after hearing this and didn't say anything more.

They had originally planned to open fire directly at the Demon-Suppressing Temple, but when they saw Lu Chao's confident look, they all quietly stepped aside.

The abbot of the Demon-Suppressing Temple still smiled and said:

"I also ask General Lu Chao to station his troops outside the Demon Suppression Temple. I will send people to build houses to protect you from the wind and rain."

Lu Chao sneered when he heard this:

"Don't worry, Abbot. We are here on the orders of the Emperor, so we will naturally act according to his orders."

Under the abbot's stunned gaze, Lu Chao waved his hand and directly ordered:

"Long Yi, lead a large army and station them in the Diamond Court of the Demon Suppression Temple. The surrounding bamboo forests and pagoda forests are all the army's stationed areas. If there are any obstacles, solve them by yourselves."

"Long Qi, lead the second army and station them in the Zen room, occupying 4,000 Zen rooms. If there are any obstacles, you can solve them yourself."

"Long Ba, lead the three armies and station them in the Demon-Suppressing Temple's Enlightenment Field. The surrounding Sutra Repository is not allowed to be entered. If there are any obstacles, you can solve them on your own."

"Long Jiu, lead the four armies and station them in the Great Hall. The surrounding halls can station their own troops. If there are any obstacles, they can solve them on their own."

After Lu Chao finished speaking, Long Yi and the other four stood in front and responded loudly:

"Yes, I will follow the general's order."

Upon seeing this, the old abbot hurriedly stepped forward and shouted loudly:

"You dare! Lu Chao, lead your army into the Demon Suppression Temple today and give it a try!"

"Let's try it! All the troops are here, follow the order!"

Lu Chao shouted loudly, and an army of one hundred thousand rushed into the gate of the Demon-Suppressing Temple, leaving only the old abbot with a look of astonishment on his face.

The old abbot looked at Xiao Yao and Zhao Tianran with pleading eyes, but the two were completely unaware.

The old abbot had no choice but to say:

"Luo Yong! Don't you care about these people? Do you really want to destroy our ancestors' foundation?"

"Amitabha."

Luo Yong chanted a Buddhist name, turned around and walked towards the county magistrate's mansion without paying any attention to the old abbot.
