mess with bad gods

Chapter 22 Paid Visits
"Wait." Su Xiaoluo suddenly felt that something was wrong, "What I want to ask is Kui Yin, why are you pointing the way here?"

"I'm Kui Yin." The headmaster picked up the ledger beside him and looked at it intently, "Didn't you come here just because you want me to show you the way?"

"Then why didn't you say that you are?!"

The head, or Master Kui Yin, turned the page leisurely: "You didn't ask earlier."

In fact, if Su Xiaoluo inquired too much, he would know that it was Master Kui Yin who founded Ruishan Temple, so Kui Yin was undoubtedly the head of Ruishan Temple.

It's just that everyone was confused by the word "Master". Who would have thought that the highly respected Master who is said to be a handsome man with long hair and casual clothes...

Shouldn't he be bald, dressed in cassock, with Buddhist beads around his neck, and holding a Zen staff?

And as the boss behind the scenes of a temple, shouldn't it be called something like "chairman"?
So stereotypes are really harmful...

Before I dared to go to vegetable mushrooms and carry water, I was teased by this cheating boss. Isn’t this a bloody deception and squeeze? !Su Xiaoluo turned her questioning eyes to Mu Zijin, who gave her a look of "I don't know anything".

Su Xiaoluo didn't doubt it too much, and just thought it was a voluntary dedication.Just looking at Kui Yin, who was leisurely looking at the ledger, the bit of embarrassment in his heart disappeared: "Bubble hasn't woken up yet, so we have to stay with you for a few more days. "Although it was a request, the tone of the speech did not have the slightest sense of being a host.

Kui Yin's peachy eyes began to twitch again, and she said bluntly: "Do you think my place is a refugee camp? Come if you want, and leave if you don't want to?"

"It's such a big place, it won't matter if you stay for a few more days." Su Xiaoluo stepped forward, his eyes full of provocation, "Do you still care about these trivial matters as a dignified head?"

"It's not impossible for other people." Kui Yin snorted coldly, and cast a sideways glance at Mu Zijin, "It's just that he dangles in front of my eyes all day, making him uncomfortable."

The corners of Mu Zijin's mouth twitched, and he wanted to speak, but he chose to shut up.

So the key to the problem is whether Mu Zijin will stay or not?How easy it is.Su Xiaoluo replied, "It's not a problem, anyway, we are not going the same way." Then he turned to Mu Zijin and said, "Don't you just want to meet Kui Yin? Now that you have met, you should go back where you want."

The tone and sentences were exactly the same as what Kui Yin said before.

Mu Zijin ignored Kui Yin's teasing eyes, and looked at Su Xiaoluo's expectant eyes, feeling extremely helpless. Why did Su Xiaoluo's expectation of herself manifest in letting him leave?
"Okay." After hesitating for a while, Mu Zijin had no choice but to agree, "It happens that I have something to do first, so you should be more careful."

"Hey... what do you mean?" Kui Yin expressed dissatisfaction with Mu Zijin's words, "What should I be careful about here? Can I still eat her? If you have time to worry about others, why not care more about yourself."

Mu Zijin automatically ignored the gloating elements in Kui Yin's words, and only said to Su Xiaoluo: "There will be a time later."

"Oh." Su Xiaoluo responded casually, "There will be a time later."

After Mu Zijin left, Su Xiaoluo saw Kui Yin flicking through the ledger, thinking there was nothing to do, and prepared to go out.

"You don't feel anything when he's gone?" Kui Yin said suddenly just as Su Xiaoluo walked to the door, but her eyes were still on the ledger and she didn't leave.

"How do you feel?" Su Xiaoluo was puzzled.

"For example, if you don't want to part with something."

"Why are you reluctant." Su Xiaoluo pouted, "I don't know him very well."

"Ahem..." As if they had only known each other for a few days, Kui Yin casually waved his sleeves in Su Xiaoluo's direction, "Then there's nothing else to do, you can play while you're at it. By the way, since you live Here, go take a bath when you are free."

"Huh?" I don't know why Kui Yin cares so much about taking a bath, but it seems that the bath feels good, anyway, I'm not in a hurry now, so it's not bad to take a bath if I have nothing to do.Thinking of this, Su Xiaoluo responded, "Okay."

Seeing Su Xiaoluo walking slowly towards the residence, Kui Yin raised her hand to cover her yawn, touched her face, shook her head and sighed: "Oh~ I should have become more handsome if I knew it earlier, but I almost got caught by him. It's been compared."

"I don't know if that girl can understand my painstaking efforts."

When Su Xiaoluo returned to the residence, Bubble was still sleeping soundly.When bored in every possible way, Su Xiaoluo decided to walk around and asked a young novice who was sweeping the courtyard if there were any interesting places in the temple. Finally, he gave her a grand introduction to the most worthwhile place in the temple - the martial arts field.

That is the place where all the elite disciples in the temple gather to teach the most profound martial arts in the temple.That is the spiritual pillar of all dreamers who have traveled thousands of miles to join Ruishan Temple—there can be visited there, but there is a fee, 3 taels of silver per person.

Su Xiaoluo, who has long been longing for the Jianghu, is no exception. Of course, he fantasizes about the grievances and hatred in the Jianghu and the necessary fighting, so even if he doesn't like to use martial arts, he still wants to go to the martial arts field and other places where martial arts people gather. Check it out.

Following the guidance of the little novice, Su Xiaoluo turned left and right and finally lost his way.You must know that her road-crazy personality will only increase as she goes deeper into the Jianghu.And when she grabbed a monk in a monk's robe and asked him to help guide the way, the monk immediately put down his things as soon as he heard that she was going to the martial arts field, handed them over to the little novice next to him, and led the way with joy. she goes.

It was quiet before, but as soon as the corner was turned, the sound of humming and haha ​​suddenly became incessant. The volume was so high that the crows in the vicinity did not dare to return to their nests during the day, and could only hover in the air and babble strangely.

While adapting to the shouting, Su Xiaoluo also had to be curious about the wall that can fully insulate the sound for a moment.

There is a thatched shed outside the training ground, and a monk is writing something with a pen.The monk who led the way led Su Xiaoluo there, and said a Buddhist name to the writer: "Brother Wu Yue, this female benefactor is going to observe the martial arts training ground, I wonder if it is convenient at this time?"

The dharma name Wu Yue put down the wolf hair in his hands, and clasped his palms together and recited a Buddha's name: "It's okay at this time, you can go."

Instead, she got up and said to Su Xiaoluo: "I don't know which floor the female benefactor is going to practice martial arts?"

"What's the difference?"

"Naturally." Wu Yue said in a calm tone, clear and fast, "The martial arts field is divided into 5 levels. The first level is for the seniors to lead the juniors to practice in a large area; the second level is for the juniors to find their own companions to learn from each other; The third level is for the seniors to teach martial arts with a few juniors; the fourth level is for the seniors to practice martial arts together; the fifth level is not disclosed due to the confidentiality of the temple. The cost of each level is different. May I ask which level the female benefactor wants to visit? ?”

How could Su Xiaoluo know that even a martial arts training ground would have so many skills, but after thinking about it, the first and second ranks are all new disciples and it is not worth seeing, and the third rank does not seem to be very interesting. , for the fourth level, it should be a contest between masters and masters.So he made up his mind at the moment, and said to Wu Yue: "Then let's go to the fourth level."

Hearing this, Wu Yue and the monk who led the way were overjoyed, but it was Wu Yue who took the lead to put away the smile on his face, and continued in the calm tone before: "The visit fee for the fourth stage is 100 taels, and the time limit for visiting is 3 taels. Three quarters of an hour. On the way to the fourth level, you will pass through the first, second, and third level martial arts training venues, so you have to pay the fees for the first three levels. The first level is 15 taels, the second level is 50 taels, and the second level is 160 taels. The third level is 170 taels, but the time limit cannot be superimposed. Therefore, female benefactor, you need to pay a total of [-] taels for the visit. For the sake of happiness, I will charge you [-] taels, and I will give you an extra string of prayer beads."

Su Xiaoluo took the black Buddhist beads that Wu Yue handed to her, and took out two hundred taels of silver notes from the Qiankun bag: "Well, I don't have broken silver anymore."

Wu Yue quickly took the bank note and put it away, squinting his eyes and smiling lovingly: "It's like this, the toll office does not provide change, if there is any surplus, it will be recorded as your donation, I am Mercy, I will bless your future without any worries."

Su Xiaoluo didn't particularly care about these things, and it didn't matter whether the Buddha blessed her or not, she just nodded casually and walked in.

"Hey...you haven't got your rank card yet." Wu Yue hurried forward, handed a small jade card to Su Xiaoluo, and then kindly reminded, "Female benefactor, the terrain in the training ground It's complicated, do you need a guide?"

Su Xiaoluo, who may get lost in ordinary terrain, naturally cannot cope with complex terrain, so of course he needs a guide.Otherwise, it's very likely that the quarter of an hour is up, and she hasn't found out where the so-called fourth step is.

Seeing that Su Xiaoluo wanted a guide, Wu Yue smiled lovingly again: "Female benefactor, the guide also needs to be charged, and the fee is different for each level. And when you go to the fourth level We have to go through..."

"Stop." Su Xiaoluo interrupted him to continue chattering, "Just tell me how much you need."

"Not much." Wu Yue smiled and stretched out three fingers, "Only 300 taels."

After paying another three hundred, Su Xiaoluo, who was finally able to step into the training ground, heaved a sigh of relief, and didn't think there was anything wrong with being charged. After all, it takes courage for a sect to dare to show its own martial arts in front of outsiders. and confident.

Of course she is not the only one who can think this way, and those from other sects who want to steal their teachers are also willing to spend a lot of money for it.There are also sneaky people who only pay the fee for the first level and want to sneak away to other levels, and those who want to stay inside when the time is up.And at this time, one or two people will always pop up in a corner that no one seems to be paying attention to, and while dragging him away, they don't forget to ask him for the excessive fee and the fee for violating the regulations...

The monk who led the way before was responsible for taking her to the fourth step. Go straight all the way to the first step; go straight through the courtyard gate to the second step; go straight through the small bamboo forest to the third step; go straight through the The courtyard gate, reaching the fourth level...

Then the monk pointed to the attic in the center of the fourth-level martial arts training field, and gave a guide in friendship: "Above the attic is the fifth level."
