mess with bad gods

Chapter 23 The Attic in the Lake
As slow as Su Xiaoluo, she had to express her shame at the "complicated" terrain. It seems that her road idiot can still be saved. When the leading monk asked her if she needed help leading the way back, she politely declined the heavy kindness. .

As the name suggests, the Martial Arts Field is an open space suitable for practicing martial arts.This has been seen before in the third level.The disciples in the temple are also hardworking. Even if someone came to visit, no one was curious to look at them. They were all doing their own things wholeheartedly.

But on the fourth level, the place where the so-called seniors competed with each other was beside a small artificial lake, and an attic was built in the center of the lake. As far as the eye could see, there was no road leading to the attic.Around Hu, there were a lot of tables, chairs and benches, and those so-called seniors gathered together in twos and threes—playing chess and drinking tea.

"It can be counted as a person." Someone found Su Xiaoluo at the gate of the courtyard, put down the teacup in his hand, and smiled at the people next to him. He spoke in a gentle voice, but everyone by the lake could hear him.

"There are some days where no one comes here, right?" One of them picked up a chess piece and played with it in his hand, with a touch of surprise in his words.

"Excuse me, are you people who practice martial arts at the fourth level?" Although it seemed that way, Su Xiaoluo still couldn't believe her own judgment. She was blocked by the leading monk before, and only paid attention to the building he mentioned. I went to the attic, but I haven't found that there are still many people around the lake—the kind that caught a lot on the street outside—men with long hair.

"Otherwise, where do you think this is?" Someone laughed and said to her, "It took a lot of money to come here, right?"

"It's quite a lot..." Although Su Xiaoluo didn't have much idea about money, she still knew that a hundred taels of silver bill would allow her and her apprentice to stay in a hotel room for several months, "You are not cheating money Bar?"

"Haha. I often hear people say this." The person who took the chess before put the chess pieces on the plate and turned to look at Su Xiaoluo, "You must know that practicing martial arts is not necessarily about fighting and killing. It is like playing chess with tea. It is also a way of cultivation."

Why does it always sound like there is a smell of magic stick in it?

"I spent 500 taels, is it just for me to watch you play chess and drink tea?" Su Xiaoluo really wanted to yell at this moment: Is there a mistake? !

"500 taels... tsk tsk... I can't tell that the little girl is still a little rich woman." As soon as the words came out, the men by the lake all laughed, and the smiles were purely funny, without any other things such as Emotions like ridicule.

Naturally, Su Xiaoluo could hear it, but if she really told her that she spent 500 taels just to see them laughing like this, she, who doesn't care about money, would feel pained.

"Okay, everyone, stop teasing her." A window in the attic in the lake suddenly opened, and a man with the same long hair appeared inside. Come upstairs."

As soon as the words fell, a row of wooden stakes leading to the attic suddenly appeared on the originally calm lake.

Su Xiaoluo blinked, and a man reminded her: "Little girl, hurry up, Second Senior Brother has never invited anyone to Luoying Pavilion before."

Luoying Pavilion refers to the attic in the lake.

"But..." Su Xiaoluo hesitated.

"But afraid of the past?"

"No..." Su Xiaoluo said, "Isn't this attic the fifth floor? How much does it cost?"

"puff……"

"Ha ha……"

"This girl is really funny..."

Laughter rang out one after another, even more than before.

The person called the second senior brother in the attic couldn't help but smile: "Young lady, just come up, and Ziqi guarantees that she won't take any money."

Since the inviter has said that they won't charge money, it doesn't matter if they go.Su Xiaoluo raised her feet and walked up to the attic. She seemed to be stepping on a wooden stake, but in fact her feet were hanging on the flying sword that secretly appeared, but she used a rudimentary trick to deceive her eyes.It is not too difficult to deceive these ordinary people.

The wooden stake leads to the wooden ladder below the attic, Su Xiaoluo puts away the flying sword and walks up slowly.

Walking up to the attic, I found that the inside is much wider than it looks from the outside. There is a Bagua map in the middle of the room, and there are two people sitting in each of the eight directions. All of them have long hair reaching their waists. Su Xiaoluo really wouldn't believe that they were monks from Ruishan Temple...

"Girl, please sit here." The man who claimed to be Ziqi led Su Xiaoluo to a wooden table beside him. There were some fruit cakes on the table. Didn't look again.

"Please forgive me for taking the liberty to invite the girl to the court." Before Su Xiaoluo could say anything, Ziqi took the lead and said, "Please don't blame the behavior of the juniors and brothers. The disciples of the first class are all cultivating their xinxing and taking into account the consolidation of their inner cultivation, so they are what the girl has seen before."

"So that's how it is." It would make sense to say that, Su Xiaoluo nodded clearly, but still felt cheated.Since there is no competition to see here, why should she come to the fourth level? The third level was pretty good before, at least I can see that everyone is very motivated.There is also some comfort in my heart, isn't it?
"Since the girl can come here, it must be fate." Ziqi continued, "There are various martial arts techniques and medicine refining formulas in Luoying Pavilion. If the girl is interested, you can take one of them. It is up to the Lord to give it to the girl."

Martial arts mentality?Alchemy formula?What is the use?

Su Xiaoluo didn't have the slightest interest in those things, she came here just to see what the so-called Jianghu people look like, but it seems that she shouldn't choose to visit the martial arts training ground of a monastery...

"Just now they said that you are the second senior brother. Could it be that all the monks in Ruishan Temple don't shave their heads?" And that unreliable Kui Yin is also the same, even as a host, it seems a little inappropriate to have long hair fluttering like that.

"That's not the case, it's just because we are all lay disciples. So we don't need to be shaved." Ziqi also explained his master's long hair fluttering, "Master once said that if there is a Buddha in the heart, the six senses will naturally be pure. This has nothing to do with whether or not to shave. It has too much to do with it. So he didn't shave, so as to warn us."

I always felt that the truth of the matter should not be like this. Su Xiaoluo tried hard to imagine Kui Yin, who was stereotyped in her heart, and the master who was now described by the second brother named Ziqi together. One was lazily reclining with peach blossom eyes. The handsome man on the couch, and the eminent monk standing on the edge of the cliff with one hand on his chest with a kind face, calm eyebrows and long hair still full of Buddha's light, can't be put together.

Well, she didn't want to be too entangled in this matter.

"Since the girl doesn't want ideas and recipes." Ziqi brought the topic back to what he said before, got up and walked towards the eight trigrams stove in the house, walked a few directions with his feet, and put the people in each direction on his knees Put your hands together in front of your chest, and then point to the center.

Suddenly, a burst of light burst out from the gossip chart, and the light gradually expanded into a beam of light. Ziqi picked up a small jade tablet hanging on his waist, which looked exactly the same as the one given to Su Xiaoluo by the monk Wu Yue before.When the jade tablet was brought into the beam of light, the beam of light gradually solidified, and it took only a cup of tea.A cylindrical treasure house appeared on the spot, and there were different things in the large and small compartments. Just looking at the surface, you can tell that it is not ordinary.

Ziqi made an inviting gesture towards Su Xiaoluo, and said: "Girl can pick something you like from here, and Ziqi can also decide to give it away. If the girl is still dissatisfied, Ziqi can also ask Wu Yue to give it away." Return all the cash you received earlier, after all, it was Ziqi who wasted the girl's time by sending her to Luoying Pavilion."

Su Xiaoluo circled around this treasure pavilion that looked small but contained a lot of items, picked up the gourd-shaped jade pot for a while, and touched the lifelike carved wooden dolls for a while.And she didn't pick up one and looked at it for a while, Ziqi would tell the function of that thing in time.

When Su Xiaoluo picked up a pink dress, Ziqi said almost immediately: "Girl, this is the treasured dress of Wu Se. According to legend, it was worn by a fairy named Wu Se in the sky, hence the name." The workmanship of this garment is exquisite, and it is the only one in the world. Moreover, it is also waterproof, dustproof, scratchproof, and deformable... Ahem, it has the function of armor, and ordinary weapons cannot pierce it."

Su Xiaoluo touched the clothes that were extremely soft to the touch, and a sense of familiarity that she hadn't had for a long time began to surge in her heart, and she really liked the cut of the clothes more and more. There was a butterfly embroidered on the neckline, which was similar to her. The one on the back of the hand seems to be of the same species, both red with traces of black marks, also lifelike.

Su Xiaoluo held the shirt in her hands, she still didn't dream of it directly with the presence of mortals, but said to Ziqi: "I want this shirt."

"Okay." Ziqi showed a gentle smile, walked to the window, tapped three times on the wall, and suddenly heard a slight sound of water.Su Xiaoluo ran to the window to have a look. Sure enough, the wooden stake was controlled by a mechanism. Before, it was mistakenly thought that this was also the sect of cultivating immortals.The Treasure Pavilion in the middle of the Eight Diagrams is nothing more than a higher level institution.

Ziqi took out the jade tablet from the Treasure Pavilion, and the Treasure Pavilion gradually disappeared into the beam of light.After re-tying the jade badge, Ziqi stretched out his right hand to Su Xiaoluo: "Girl, since you are not interested in the fourth level of cultivation, how about Ziqi take the girl back personally?"

Although he didn't know how to lead the way in a straight line, Su Xiaoluo agreed out of politeness.

Su Xiaoluo was still a little bit bitter about the fact that she didn't see anything after spending 500 taels, but it was quite a reward to get a shirt that she liked very much.

Ziqi walked beside Su Xiaoluo, unlike the monk who was leading the way who kept telling her to follow, he carefully reminded her not to bump into the big rocks next to her, not to pull bamboo leaves and so on.

Regarding Su Xiaoluo's confusion, Ziqi said that he would be happy to tell her the reason: "There are formations and traps set up in those places, just to prevent bad people from taking the opportunity to cause trouble."

But no matter how Su Xiaoluo thought about it, she felt that it was just a high fee for them to lead the way...

Ziqi doesn't care what Su Xiaoluo thinks, anyway, if he takes her out of here safely, his mission will be considered as complete.
