To the surprise of the three of them, there were actually two people, a man and a woman, walking slowly on this deserted mountain road.
The two men also spotted them, the man stopped and waved to them, and when they walked over, he clasped his hands together and said: "Climb to the top of Wutai to see the Buddha's light."
Su Yan squeezed her left hand into the shape of a phoenix eye, and said, "Yin and Yang have no form, and the three religions share the same destiny. My name is Su Yan."
"It turned out to be an onmyoji. My name is Wang Qitian, I'm sorry."
Ye Xiaomu looked over, and found that the other party was about the same age as him, at most seventeen years old, with a crew cut, white face, thinning hair, almost invisible eyebrows.
For some reason, seeing him, Ye Xiaomu suddenly thought of Tang Seng. This guy looks decent, but he looks funny.
Cao Weibo also introduced himself.
Wang Qitian also took a look at Ye Xiaomu and asked, "All three are onmyojis?"
"He is not, he is... a disciple of Maoshan."
"Is it?"
Wang Qitian heard that he was a disciple of Maoshan, looked at him seriously for a while, and said: "I have never seen you, you are an outer disciple. Ah, I have no other meaning, I just have never seen you."
Su Yan said a little unhappy: "You are so funny, Maoshan inner disciples, you must have seen them all, aren't you from Wutai Mountain?"
Wang Qitian chuckled, and said, "Actually, I'm not a disciple of Mount Wutai, but my father is. I learned the spells of Mount Wutai since elementary school, so I can be regarded as a disciple of Mount Wutai."
Su Yan pointed at Ye Xiaomu and said, "Then he is just like you."
Wang Qitian also introduced the girl next to them. She was about the same age as them, she was pretty, but she didn't like to talk, she looked like a fairy in her dress, and she couldn't tell which school she was from.
"Her name is Xia Tong. I also met her on the road. She is a disciple of Mount Putuo. Get to know her."
Xia Tong just nodded to them.
Su Yan asked Wang Qitian, "How did you know we were mages before?"
"The ones who can go on this road must be the mages who came to participate in the conference." Wang Qitian smiled, "Let's go, let's go together."
It may be because of his peers, and Wang Qitian is very talkative, and he got acquainted with them after a while, allowing them to call him by his nickname "Xiaobao". He is very interested in Ye Xiaomu and keeps asking him where he learned The Maoshan spell.
Su Yan took precautions and helped Ye Xiaomu cover, saying that Ye Xiaomu's master was an outside disciple of Maoshan, and he learned spells from his master since he was a child.
"That's a good relationship. This time, Master Su, the head teacher of Maoshan, is also here. You can get to know him, and you can count as recognizing your ancestors."
Ye Xiaomu's heart moved, and he immediately shrugged and said, "I'm such a small person, I'm afraid people will ignore me at all."
"No, he's very nice. I'll take you to him then."
"You know him?" Ye Xiaomu was surprised.
"Ahem, I don't know him. I've heard that he's very easy-going. Anyway, you're right to find him."
After turning over a mountain, the front of the road is divided into two. On the side of the road going up the mountain, there is a sign that says "Dangerous landslide, please do not go up the mountain."
Cao Weibo explained that this is for tourists who accidentally come here to prevent them from entering the mountain gate by mistake.
The five people went up the mountain, and when they came to the middle of the mountain, a huge building was in front of them. They were all two or three-story antique small buildings, lying in an open area halfway up the mountain. From a distance, it looked like a high-end villa complex. .
Cao Weibo proudly introduced that this is the Xiangyun Hotel in Yuntai Mountain, imitating Longhu Mountain, and usually only accepts guests from the magic world from all over the world, but ordinary people also receive them, but the problem is that few ordinary people know about Xiangyun Hotel Existence, and will not come here on purpose.
"Yuntai Mountain... How can there be so much money to build such a big hotel, and it is not open to the public, what is the plan?" Ye Xiaomu was surprised, feeling that poverty limited his imagination.
"What is the picture? The picture is of style. Yuntai Mountain was not well-known in the past, but now there are several young geniuses. The building of this hotel is also to show the momentum of the big sect." Cao Weibo explained.
"But where did they get so much money?"
Cao Weibo gave him a contemptuous look, and said, "Do you think the magic sects are all poor ghosts? They all have properties, well, even if the ownership of the scenic spot is gone, the ticket sales will still be shared. Industrial investment is usually supported by rich and powerful pilgrims, who lose less and earn more. A qualified medium-sized sect needs at least eight million in liquidity on the books, otherwise, how can we mess around."
Ye Xiaomu was dumbfounded, and murmured: "Master, shouldn't you just focus on practicing?"
"Just practice, and who will take care of food? I'm afraid you are living in a dream." Wang Qitian laughed, and then explained to him that each sect has its own industry. If it is built with a scenic spot, then it goes without saying , although there is no land right (handed over to the state), but generally a few outer disciples will be sent in to preside over the daily routine and get some share of the income of the scenic spot.
This is a huge amount of wealth, allowing the disciples of a sect to live comfortably and devote themselves to cultivation every day. Such as Maoshan, Longhushan, Wutaishan and so on.
Slightly smaller sects have to develop their own industries. Generally, they will deliberately get acquainted with some wealthy pilgrims, invest in the business, and send outer disciples to take care of it.
Generally, such sects do long-term and stable business, so as not to plunge the sect into an economic crisis.
No matter how small the scale is, they have to send disciples down the mountain to work, travel around, earn money and take it back to support the sect. Those who make a lot of money will get some inner sect spells as rewards, and even be directly promoted to inner sect disciples.
Moreover, when these outer disciples go out to make money, they are not like ordinary people who go out to work and earn tens of thousands of tens of thousands a month. These outer disciples of famous families are very good at managing their reputation when they go out, and they deal with wealthy businessmen. Rich businessmen, the appearance fee can be tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands at a time. If it is to change their life to make up for it, it is normal to have millions of dollars. next news)…
Therefore, a normal magic sect will not be poor no matter what. Moreover, each sect has many pilgrims from dignitaries. These people are also very pious, and they often donate, which is also a considerable income.
Wang Qitian's words were approved by Cao Weibo, and he recalled a rumor he had heard, saying that this "Xiangyun Hotel" was a building material provided by a local developer boss, which saved a lot of expenses, only because a few years ago This big man was hit by a head drop, and his life was hanging by a thread. He was rescued by the monks of Yuntai Mountain. After that, he often listened to Buddhism, converted to Buddhism, and contributed a large amount of property to make incense for Yuntai Mountain.
