As expected, Chi Muyao was not wrong at first.
People who are newly married, will go to serve tea to the elders the next morning. However, after he and Xi Huai held a ceremony for the Taoist couple, Xi Lin saw his son and "daughter-in-law" again the following year.
These two human beings haven't been down the mountain for a whole year after the ceremony. Knowing that they are in the bridal chamber for a long time, and those who don't know are still serving their sentences.
On the day Chi Muyao and Xi Huai went down the mountain together, no one else in the sect had expected it, and naturally no one was waiting for them.
It happened that they came down the mountain and saw Song Weiyue who was reading in the pavilion.
Song Weiyue knows how to read, and it is usually forced by the palace lord of Zunyue. After all, this palace lord dislikes Song Weiyue's illiteracy.
At this moment, the book in Song Weiyue's hand is a collection of pictures, with pictures on the top and corresponding words on the bottom. For example, there is a tree on the top and "tree" on the bottom.
Song Weiyue was extremely surprised when they saw the two of them coming over, and immediately dropped the book and went over. He looked at Chi Muyao and said, "Why did Ah Jiu have lost so much? You are already thin, so how can you still be thin?"
"It's all... too much exercise." Chi Muyao replied with difficulty.
Fortunately, the person chatting with them is Song Weiyue. Sure enough, Song Weiyue didn’t understand, so he could continue chatting with them calmly: “The 33rd palace has not been built yet. Before, Jiu had just entered Qing Zezong and was going to hold a ceremony for Taoist couples and had no time to discuss. After the ceremony is over, no one of you can be found. The uncle in the door doesn't know Ah Jiu's preferences or what to build. Everyone is waiting for you."
At this moment, Chi Muyao is satisfied as long as he can stay away from Xi Huai. Now he will feel seasick when he sees his Taoist companion, as if his Taoist companion is the sea—all waves.
In this year, apart from falling asleep with exhaustion, or meditating to absorb the cultivation base, his body has not been still at other times.
Hearing this, he immediately said that he could go to the deacon's hall to look at the design drawings, and after speaking, he fled and went to the deacon's hall.
Xi Huai also wanted to follow, but his main purpose of going down the mountain this time was to ask Xi Lin about the exercises.
The double cultivation is almost done, and he should also improve his own strength. He does have many shortcomings in this aspect of the cultivation technique.
Even if he looked at the distant figure of Chi Mu, he still had no choice but to find Xi Lin first.
Qing Zezong's deacon hall can be described as "rich and rich".
In Hehuan Sect, the Deacon's Hall is only a side hall, and you need to walk through a long corridor to reach the second floor to enter.
The Imperial Chong faction is even more shabby, and a house was just vacated to serve as the deacon's hall.
Qing Zezong’s Deacon’s Hall is a separate courtyard. After going up the mountain, you will see the archway. The beast at the top is carved extremely large and domineering, almost the same size as Zheng Kiss.
Dou Gong is a cloud-shaped sculpture, the symbol of Yunwaitian, and the carving techniques used for the colored glaze plates and the bird stand are also supernaturally crafted, with extremely delicate details. There is a thousand-character pattern on the rolling pier stone, which means auspiciousness and also means that wealth is rolling in.
Enter the archway and walk for a while, there are two small pavilions for inspection.
To the rear are two rows of side rooms, namely Wen Pavilion and Wu Building. Going to Wen Pavilion is generally to collect some scrolls, pens and inks, while Wulou is a place to receive magical instruments, repair, and maintain sabers.
And because this is Qing Zezong, there are almost no people in front of Wenge gate, but people come and go at the gate of Wulou.
The three-story main hall directly in front is the real deacon's hall. The first floor is the registration and pick-up office of the deacon's hall. Everything you don't care about in the first two places can be registered and processed here.
Most of the second and third floors are storage spaces, or where the disciples work.
After Chi Muyao arrived, he was invited into the inner room of the Deacon's Hall, sitting at a table and chairs on one side, drinking tea, and choosing the drawing style.
After sitting here for less than half an hour, he realized that something was wrong here.
The disciples in the Deacon’s Hall are very inefficient. The abacus in the hands of the disciple who settles the accounts moves "ta-ta-ta-", like a bamboo tube of flowing water, and it takes a long time to move it.
After Chi Muyao endured it for a while, he couldn't help it anymore. This scene even made his hands itchy, so he put down the album and walked to the disciple who settled the account.
This disciple had a foundation-building cultivation base. He held the account book in one hand, pointed at one of the records with his finger, dialed the abacus with the other hand, and was still muttering words. When he moved the abacus, he had to make sure that he was moving correctly.
Seeing Chi Muyao's arrival, the disciple hurriedly got up and said hello, but suddenly forgot where he was calculated.
Chi Muyao couldn't help asking: "Did you just learn to take a job?"
"Well, the disciple was only recently sent to work in the deacon's hall."
"Aren't the disciples of Qing Zezong Deacon's Hall a special disciple?"
"No, Qing Zezong's disciples are all well qualified, and they need to take turns to practice or retreat. Coming to the Deacon's Hall to help is just to complete a task. After completion, you can receive rewards such as spirit stones and pill."
Chi Muyao took a deep breath, and then drove away the disciple: "Forget it, let me do it."
He opened the account book and flipped through it, and soon discovered that this account book was recorded by different people at different times, and everyone's style was different, and the handwriting was different.
Chi Muyao flipped through it for a while, then pointed to a line of records and asked: "Is it necessary to reconcile from here, right?"
"Yes."
Chi Muyao's gaze was always on the account book. He wouldn't look at the abacus, but his fingers were quickly moving the abacus. The abacus beads crackled and moved so fast that they didn't seem to need to confirm at all. He thought he was confident that he would not make a mistake.
The finger kept moving, and the account book has turned another page.
After that, the disciple of the foundation building period watched Chi Muyao finish the entire account at a strange speed, then looked at the summary account book, wiped it a few times, put it aside, and said: "Bring the other account books, too. "
The disciple naturally didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly brought other account books and placed them next to Chi Muyao in a proper manner.
When Chi Muyao went to look at the other account books, the Ji Muyao disciple picked up the account book just now and glanced at it, and found that while Chi Muyao was calculating, he also found something wrong with the account and marked it.
The speed and efficiency are jaw-dropping.
In less than an afternoon, Chi Muyao had already checked his accounts for the year. After checking his accounts, he held his hands and looked at the errors in every account, secretly squeezing his fingers.
At this moment, Xi Huai came to the Deacon’s Hall, and after coming in, he asked, "How do you look at the drawings?"
Chi Muyao didn't answer, just put down the account books. The heavy account book made a "bang", and then Xi Huai heard him say: "Call your father."
"Huh?" Is this directly inviting the Sect Master to come over?
"Call it." Chi Muyao was very persistent.
Xi Huai was a little puzzled, but he still passed a sound transmission note when he went out.
After Xi Lin entered the deacon's hall, he found that Chi Muyao was writing something in his pen. He walked over and asked, "This is the blueprint? You decide for yourself, don't ask me."
Chi Muyao spoke at this moment: "Sect Master, I have looked at Qing Zezong's accounts for the past year, and there are many things that are wrong, and these expenses are signed by you. Did you embezzle the spirit stone?"
"Uh..." Xi Lin was a little surprised. Why did the Taoist couple meet for the first time after the ceremony? It was such a scene, "What's wrong?"
Chi Muyao opened the account book and pointed to the problematic areas one by one and said: "On July 15th, Lingshi three thousand bought Baiwujin; on August 4th, Lingshi four thousand nine bought pine wood. But this way. In the purchase book, there is no record of the arrival of Baiwujin and Moth pine."
Xi Lin was a little embarrassed, he sullenly didn't speak, sat aside, and looked at Xi Huai.
Xi Huai took a look at the account, then looked at the purchase book, and sighed, "Do you want to take over the Deacon Hall instead of the 33rd Palace?"
Only then did Chi Muyao come back to his senses: "I just... couldn't hold back, I want to help."
"You will also find the Sect Master to reconcile in the Hehuan Sect?"
"Well, the sect master always pushes Pai Gow, and makes false accounts if you lose money, no matter whether it works or not, I'm used to..."
When Xi Lin heard this, he coughed lightly, and still didn't speak.
Xi Huai couldn't help laughing, and asked Xi Lin's apprentice: "Where has my father been in the past few days?"
Speaking, pointed to the date on the account book.
The disciple replied sternly: "In the sect."
Chi Muyao walked over and interrupted them: "You shouldn't ask, where did the suzerain go the day before these two days?"
"Go...Go..." The disciple couldn't tell.
Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Xi Lin said angrily, "I'm going to push Pai Gow! I'm a dignified Sovereign. If I lose in pushing Pai Gow, I can work hard to make a fake account. Isn't it a very responsible performance?"
Chi Muyao was startled by Xi Lin's bizarre remarks. How could Xi Lin speak so confidently?
However, all Qing Zezong belonged to Xi Lin, so it was not surprising to do so.
After a long while, Chi Muyao asked, "Are you pushing Pai Gow with my master?"
Xi Lin answered calmly: "Well, what's the matter?"
"It's not surprising that you will lose."
"How do you say that, your master's card skills are very good? Isn't this just a matter of luck?"
Chi Muyao couldn't explain it well, so he could only say: "Next time you take me with you."
"You also like to push Pai Gow?"
He denied: "I don't like it, I just like to win money."
Xi Lin was very satisfied with this answer and agreed with a big laugh.
This year, Si Ruoyu has been very idle, and from time to time he gathers the practitioners he knows to push Pai Gow together.
Today is a rare occasion. After Si Ruoyu came to the Zhengyu Pavilion, he walked into the room they had "occupied" all the time. After entering, he saw Chi Muyao and Xi Huai also there. He couldn't help but be surprised: "You are finally willing to go down the mountain?"
As he walked over, he held Chi Muyao's wrist and probed: "Spiritual power is a bit messy, but it's stable enough, not bad."
Chi Muyao was also well-behaved: "Well, thank you Master for your concern."
When it was time to push Pai Gow, Si Ruoyu saw Chi Muyao sitting in Xi Lin's position, while Xi Lin and Xi Huai and his sons were sitting behind Chi Muyao one by one and realized that it was not good.
Si Ruoyu tapped his fingertips on the table while playing cards and glanced at Chi Muyao again, as if he wanted to make eye contact with Chi Muyao, but Chi Muyao didn't seem to notice her expression.
He always smiled, and his attitude was very gentle, and he couldn't fault him.
This scene is quite funny, two cultivators of Yuan Ying stage are sitting behind a cultivator of Jin Dan stage. The two of them also had a dragon horn on their heads, and they both looked majestic and imposing. They were domineering in their eyebrows, and they seemed a little cunning when they sat behind Chi Muyao.
It's like a gentle-faced covered man with two fierce bodyguards playing cards, daring to win their spirit stones, all the cards are burned for you!
Xi Huai didn't seem to understand Pai Gow, and didn't know what the situation was, so they frowned when they played cards. Fortunately, other people don't know his confusion, and when he looks at him, he is still thinking.
Xi Lin is very active, always wanting to instruct Chi Muyao twice, but found that Chi Muyao doesn't seem to need him to guide him. This kid has very good calculation ability. Even if this hand is not good, he can guarantee that he is not the worst loser. The one that played the cards was extraordinarily safe and cautious.
The first few rounds were normal. After the fourth round, Si Ruoyu began to be dishonest. Others used the control technique to draw cards. Only she reached out to grab, and her delicate hand slid across the table, bringing her own fragrance.
Chi Muyao looked around, but didn't make any movement. It wasn't until halfway through the round that Chi Muyao snapped his fingers and broke the illusion.
The cultivators who were originally pushing Pai Gow were all taken aback, and found that the cards in their hands had suddenly changed, and the cards thrown on the table were also different from what they remembered.
Si Ruoyu slapped the desktop immediately and said angrily: "Chi Muyao!"
Chi Muyao was a little helpless: "Master, you used this trick to win a lot of Sect Master Xi's spirit stones, right?"
This time Xi Lin finally understood, and said in surprise: "Sect Master, you, do you actually use illusion to play cards?!"
Si Ruoyu can be called the ancestor of illusion, and she is not good at fighting skills, but her illusion skills are good, and the illusion created is so detailed that it is difficult for the cultivator of the Yuan Ying stage to realize that she is deeply in the illusion.
After the illusion is used, the results of the various perceptions of the people who have been recruited will be quietly changed. These people can't find that the game is controlled by someone, and they are still playing cards normally.
With this hand, Si Ruoyu won the Lingshi no less.
Today, Chi Muyao was broken.
Another Yuan Yingqi Tianzun who plays cards all the year round couldn't help but ask: "Sect Master, are you a bit unnatural?"
Si Ruoyu replied confidently: "This is the magic door. The magic door repairers do not rely on their own skills? Last time the Sect Master of Thousand Hands did not steal cards and change cards?!"
The man also knew that there were not many good cultivators in the magic door, so he asked: "You don't need to return all the spirit stones you win, at least half of it, right?"
"Impossible!" Si Ruoyu immediately refused arrogantly, "I wonder if Sect Master Zhang has enough spiritual power to express his worries recently. What kind of girl do you like, I will let my disciple accompany you for two days."
Sect Master Zhang was furious: "Not only do you win my money, but you also want your disciples to absorb my spiritual power. You will take advantage of any good things!"
"All of my disciples are like flowers and jade. If it's not for your high cultivation level and good aptitude, they don't like your old bones! Maybe they don't know any tricks, they will just run wild."
"You, you... Didn't you agree not to speak bad words before playing cards?"
"Are you playing cards now? I'm arguing now. Do I have to take into account your mood when I fight?"
Xi Lin froze for a while before returning to his senses and asking Chi Muyao: "Before, I lost because of illusion?"
Chi Muyao solemnly nodded his head: "Well, Sect Master, the people outside are sinister. It's better for you to stay out of the sect."
Xi Lin, a silly white sweet dragon who would be furious when other cultivators scolded him, and was calculated by the experts when he went out to play cards.
Xi Lin looked at the cards on the table in despair, as if he didn't plan to play anymore, and sighed and got up and left.
He was disappointed with Pai Gow.
He was disappointed with the magic door.
Si Ruoyu took Chi Muyao out of the Zhengyu Pavilion, pinched his waist and asked angrily: "You little conscience, just not long after you got married, you turned your elbow out?!"
Chi Muyao grievedly replied: "It's not right for you to win cards with illusion, and you have won too much."
"Since I went back to the Hehuan Sect, the outside investigations on our Hehuan Sect have become more and more stringent. Many disciples can only go back to the Hehuan Sect. So many disciples are gathered together, and they are all charming little girls. I naturally have Find a way to support them."
"but-"
"It's nothing! Chi Muyao, the master is very angry, you have been expelled from the Acacia Sect!" Si Ruoyu lost his temper and left in anger.
Xi Huai looked at his father who was desperate and left, and then at Si Ruoyu, who left in a huff, and suddenly wanted to laugh: "They are all hundreds of years old, so how come they seem to have not grown up, because this will expel you from the teacher. The door? Do you need to go back and explain? Coax your master?"
"Actually don't... you don't have to worry, I will visit Huanzong once."
"Should I be with you?"
"No need to."
"Okay, I will comfort my father."
Chi Muyao stepped on the pink cloud-shaped flying magic weapon, and followed Si Ruoyu towards the direction of Hehuanzong.
When he arrived at the gate of the Zongmen, he saw a little junior sister secretly opening the door for him, and whispered: "Little Brother, how did you make Master angry?"
"Neither did it." He entered the Hehuan Sect cautiously, and then headed towards the Hehuan Sect Deacon Hall.
When he arrived at the deacon's hall, as soon as he sat down, the younger sisters took the initiative to deliver the account books.
As soon as Chi Muyao opened it, he saw Si Ruoyu rushing in: "Don't give it to him, he has been expelled from the teacher's door!"
Chi Muyao looked up at her, ignored her, lowered his head and continued to look at the account book, using his abacus to draw a stroke from time to time.
Si Ruoyu was initially fierce, but when he saw it, he wilted and even wanted to destroy the account books.
After Chi Muyao completed the reconciliation, he almost said under pressure, "Master!"
Si Ruoyu's original temper was gone for a moment, and he simply hugged Xu Ranzhu and complained: "Ahhhhhh, look at him! Ah Jiu is too annoying! Obviously I raised him, and he is still fierce to me. !"
Chi Muyao took the account book to her, pointed at several places and said, "How can you buy so many jewelry?"
"I was wrong!" Although Si Ruoyu admitted his mistake, he was still shouting to him, "I was wrong! I was wrong!"
Xu Ranzhu followed and explained: "A lot of the disciples were rushed back by the infiltrated sect, but their cultivation level has not progressed, and their mood is depressed. Master bought jewelry for them. I hope they will be in a better mood."
Chi Muyao could only sit back with the account book in his hands, looking at the account book and fell into melancholy.
Si Ruoyu finally became honest and asked, "Very serious?"
Chi Muyao took the account book and looked at the current wealth of the Hehuan Sect, and said: "I need to buy Jidan. I just checked the statistics. Several juniors can attack the foundation. And I felt that Jidan was built a long time ago. Don’t be too harsh on the distribution of the two-stroke and three-stroke. Don’t let them have too much pressure when they hit the base-building period."
"Oh..." She moved to the table and read the account books, "You are right, I really didn't think about it well, do you have a way?" "The disciple with the abducted elbow can only go and beg Qing Zezong, I I’ve seen their accounts. If our two sects buy together, the quantity will be large and the cost can be lower. But the favor is good, you know?"
"Oh, I see."
Chi Muyao saw Si Ruoyu's anger lowered, and then said: "Today I did it intentionally. It is not appropriate for you to play cards like this after all. There are many people with fierce tempers in the magic door. Today there are me and Xi Huai. If the situation is still under control, if someone else discovers the truth in the future and fights against you, your fighting skills are not strong. If you can't escape quickly, it might lead to death.
"You are a sect master, the only cultivator of the Nascent Soul stage of the Hehuan Sect. If something happens to you, what should the other disciples do?
"Today, the reputation of you playing cards and cheating can also cut off your possibility of continuing to play cards. Even if you no longer cheat, there will be wins and losses in gambling. If you lose too much, the school will not be able to bear it. broken."
"Oh..." He was hundreds of years old, but he was speechless by a junior.
Chi Muyao sighed: "Don't always lie to Sect Master Xi. Sect Master Xi will be fooled by you."
"For so many years in the magic door, the soldiers are not tired of deceiving, don't you know? How can he only cultivate his skills and have no knowledge? I just taught him a lesson to let him know that the human heart is sinister."
"Master!"
"I was wrong!!" The apology was more domineering than anyone else.
Xu Ranzhu couldn't help laughing at this scene.
The author has something to say: Three families with one hand: Qing Zezong, Hehuan School, and Imperial Chong School.
Sect Master of Thousand Hands who stole the card: You are shameless!
Si Ruoyu who used the illusion: You are nasty!
Sect Master Zhang: I am the victim!
Si Ruoyu: You won't pay if you lose!
Sovereign Zhang:...
Xi Lin stood at the highest point of morality and pointed: You are all bastards!
The three retorted at the same time: Who is the one who fights if you lose? !
Xi Lin:...
