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, but they are still serving their sentence if they don't know.
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 just so 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, "How come Ah Jiu has lost so much? You are already thin, so how can you still have room to be thin?"
"It's all... The amount of exercise is too much." Chi Muyao answered with difficulty.
Fortunately, the person chatting with them is Song Weiyue. Sure enough, Song Weiyue didn't understand, and he could continue to chat with them calmly: "The 33rd Palace hasn't been built yet. Before Ajiu had just entered Qing Zezong, there was no time to hold a ceremony for Taoist couples. After the ceremony is over, no one of you can be found. The uncle in the door doesn't know Ah Jiu's preferences, and he doesn't know 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 never 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 a lot of deficiencies in the cultivation method.
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 Chong faction was 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 huge 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 Liuli and Queli are also supernaturally crafted, with extremely delicate details. There is a swastika 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. When you go to Wenge, you usually get some scrolls, pens and inks, while Wulou is a place to get ritual artifacts, 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.
The second and third floors are mostly 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 a drawing style.
After sitting here for less than half an hour, he realized that something was wrong here.
The disciples in the deacon hall were very inefficient. The abacus in the hands of the disciples who settled the accounts moved "ta-ta-ta-ta", like a bamboo tube of flowing water, which took a long time to move.
Chi Muyao endured for a while and couldn't help it after all. This scene even made his hands itchy, so he put down the album and walked to the disciple who settled the accounts.
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 in the other hand, and was still muttering words.
Seeing Chi Muyao's arrival, the disciple hurriedly got up to say 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 in the Deacon's Hall of Qing Zezong a special disciple?"
"No, Qing Zezong's disciples are all well qualified, and they need to take turns out 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 wouldn't make a mistake.
The finger kept moving, and the account book has turned another page.
Afterwards, the disciple of the foundation building period watched Chi Muyao finish the entire account at a weird 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 took 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 took a look at the account book just now, 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 them in his hand 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 read Qing Zezong's accounts for the past year, and many things 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 the Baiwujin and the pine moth."
Xi Lin was a little embarrassed, so he sternly didn't speak, and sat aside, looking 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 for reconciliation in Hehuan Sect?"
"Well, the Sovereign 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 and 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 say it.
Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Xi Lin said angrily, "I'm going to push Pai Gow! I am a dignified Sovereign, and if I lose in pushing Pai Gow, I can still 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 this, 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 satisfied with this answer, and agreed with a big laugh.
This year Si Ruoyu has been very idle, and from time to time he called the practitioners he knew to push Pai Gow together.
Today is a rare occasion. Si Ruoyu came to Zhengyu Pavilion and 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, and Xi Lin and Xi Huai and his sons were sitting right behind Chi Muyao 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 picture 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, both of them looked majestic, with a domineering look between their eyebrows, but when they sat behind Chi Muyao, they looked a little cunning.
It's like a gentle face covered man with two fierce bodyguards playing cards, dare to win their spirit stones, the cards are all 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, others 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 is very good at computing. 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 took a look and didn't make any movement. It wasn't until halfway through the round that Chi Muyao snapped his fingers and broke the illusion.
The practitioners 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, are you actually playing cards with illusion?!"
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 illusions created are 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, and 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 played cards all the year round couldn't help but ask: "Sect Master Si, are you a bit unnatural?"
Si Ruoyu replied confidently: "This is the magic door. What the magic door repairers do is not based on their own skills? Didn't the Sect Master of Thousand Hands steal cards to change cards last time?!"
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 arrogantly refused, "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 say anything before playing cards?"
"Are you playing cards now? I'm arguing now. Do I have to take into account your mood when I quarrel?"
Xi Lin was stunned for a while before returning to his mind and asking Chi Muyao: "Before, I lost because of illusion?"
Chi Muyao solemnly nodded his head: "Well, suzerain, the people outside are sinister, it's better for you to stay out of the sect less."
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, 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 returned to the Hehuan Sect, the outside world has been more and more stringent in the investigation of our Hehuan Sect. 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 had left in despair. He 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, you don't need to... Don't worry, I will visit Huanzong once again."
"Should I be with you?"
"Need not."
"Okay, I will comfort my father."
Chi Muyao stepped on the pink cloud-shaped flying artifact, 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 opened the door for him, and asked in a low voice: "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 had completed the reconciliation, he almost said under pressure, "Master!"
Si Ruoyu's original temper disappeared for a moment, and he simply hugged Xu Ranzhu and complained: "Ah, look at him! A Jiu is so 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 still shouted to him, "I was wrong! Wrong!"
Xu Ranzhu followed and explained: "A lot of the disciples were rushed back by the infiltrated sect, but their cultivation bases have not progressed, and their mood is down. Only when Master bought jewelry for them, I hope they can feel better."
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 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 third-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 elbow turned away 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 this favor will be paid off, you know?"
"Oh, I see."
Chi Muyao saw that Si Ruoyu's anger had come down, and said, "I did it on purpose today. After all, it is not appropriate for you to play cards like this. There are many people with fierce temperament, and I and Xi Huai are here today. 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 fail to escape quickly, it might cause a murder.
"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 your playing cards and cheating can also cut off the possibility of you continuing to play. Even if you no longer cheat, there will be wins and losses in gambling. If you lose too much, the school can't afford it. broken."
"Oh..." He was hundreds of years old, and 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 just cultivate his skills and not have knowledge? I just taught him a lesson to let him know that people's hearts are 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:...
