Chapter 117: Chen Azhi
The Abbot Master's mouth was bleeding more, and he knew he was about to die. He tried hard to open his eyes and asked with difficulty, "Excuse me, did you use the martial arts of the Wenshi Taoist Temple just now?"
Li Changsheng saw him eagerly looking at him, with hope in his eyes, and he wanted to get the answer. Li Changsheng thought to himself that he would die soon, and there was no need to hide it from him, so he nodded. The abbot's face immediately relaxed as he exhaled his last breath and said, "No wonder I lost. Losing to the Wenshi Taoist Temple is not embarrassing." He tilted his head and died.
Li Changsheng stood still, took a deep breath, then closed his mouth, letting his spirit spread around. After feeling no more killing intent around him, he left the abbot's meditation room.
Li Changsheng walked to the front Buddhist temple and saw the young monk still recommending Buddhist beads to Li Chenglin. A string of Buddhist beads is worth two copper coins at a rural market stall, but the little monk is asking for twenty copper coins at this time. The little monk said that this string of Buddha beads was blessed by the Buddha, so the price is relatively expensive. Li Chenglin was awkwardly smiling and didn't know how to handle it.

Li Changsheng coughed and walked over, giving the little monk five silver coins. "You can use this money to buy two bottles of strong liquor and five pounds of cooked beef from the nearest village. Master Abbot and I need to drink and eat meat for lunch. The rest of the money is yours. If you ask one more question, I will deduct one silver coin. If you ask six more questions and I will deduct all five silver coins, you still owe me one silver coin."
The little monk was overjoyed. Ten copper coins were enough for these things, and this fool actually gave five silver coins! One silver coin is equivalent to a thousand copper coins! "You," the little monk was about to ask, "what else do you want? Let me buy it together.". Suddenly remembering this sentence out of mouth, a silver coin ran out, so he improvised, "You sit down, I'll go buy it now." The little monk ran out like a happy wild horse, thinking to himself, "Master Abbot is a monk who drinks and eats meat. Why did he even tell this young man about drinking and eating meat?"
After dismissing the young monk, Li Changsheng asked Li Chenglin and his father to temporarily rest in the small temple. He then walked slowly towards the riverbank outside the temple.
In no time, he saw more than ten horses turning the mountain bend and appearing on their way. Amidst the roaring of people and horses, a group of people galloped over on tall horses, with dust flying behind them, forming a rolling yellow dragon in the mountain valley.
Chen Azhi, along with Song Laosan and nine other dandy boys from Danjiang County, as well as the pimples covered inspector and the chief inspector of Danjiang County, totaling eleven people, inquired along the way and chased them to this place. He looked up and saw a young man in a black robe standing on the riverbank, blocking the way. Chen Azhi cursed: Damn it! He was about to ride his horse and collide directly, when the inspector with acne on his face exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Chen, that's him! We've caught up!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Azhi immediately tightened the reins and stopped the horse. He waved his hand at the same time, gesturing for the people and horses behind to stop. Chen Azhi carefully looked at Li Changsheng and saw him standing there calmly, obviously waiting for them.
