The kneeling of the tea maid attracted the brown-eared chicken's attention. It walked over curiously, and found that the tea had wet the front half of Fang Chaozhou's boots, and when there were still a few tea leaves sticking to it, it couldn't help looking up at Fang Chaozhou.
It has lived with Fang Chaozhou for so long, and it has long known that Fang Chaozhou is more clean, and every time it changes clothes, it has to be neatly folded.
When Fang Chaozhou saw someone kneeling down, he paused for a moment, and wanted to get up to avoid the direction of the other party kneeling, but just as he moved, the kneeling maid took two steps forward, not only blocking Fang Chaozhou's path, but also seemed to be The posture of hugging Fang Chaozhou's calf.
"Young master!"
Fang Chaozhou had never seen such a posture before, so he couldn't help being startled. It's just that I accidentally wet my shoes, how did it get so serious
and many more.
The roommate told him that there seemed to be four rounds of the test, and he is now in the third round. The first two rounds of assessment have passed, and the total number of spirit stones he got is already 1,100. There are two thousand two hundred.
He originally only wanted to get a hundred spirit stones, but now he has already got a lot of them.
The third round of money is still not earned.
Since he came in, he still doesn't know what the third round of assessment is, but the third round is definitely not as simple as the first two rounds, isn't it? Could it be that it has already started
Thinking of this, Fang Chaozhou looked suspiciously at the maid kneeling on the ground, and began to think wildly.
In the first round, he just stood there, not knowing what the other party was testing. In the second round, his feet were measured. This round...was it testing his cooperation
This Fengyue nunnery makes Taoist couples with outsiders. They wait for a girl all their lives, and then they reconcile with the Taoist couple. Frankly speaking, they just find a man to have a child, and after giving birth, they throw away the man who is useless. For this kind of behavior, when they look for a Taoist partner, they should choose a man who is willing to cooperate with them, and has a good temper, so they can't get angry casually.
So this third round is to test his temper
Deliberately pour tea on his feet, wondering how he reacts
Then if he doesn't want to go through the third round, wouldn't it be better if he behaved more petty, preoccupied, and unreasonable
Fang Chaozhou thought about it for a while, and felt that his thinking was quite reasonable, so he turned his body slightly, and said eccentrically, "Do you know how expensive my pair of boots are?"
When he said this, he had been observing the reaction of the tea maid, and when he found that the other's expression changed slightly, he felt that he had guessed right.
"It's too expensive for you to pay, you know?"
The maid next to him immediately said: "Why don't you do this, the young master goes to sit in the inner room for a while, and I will ask her to wash and dry the young master's shoes before sending them over to the young master to make amends."
Fang Chaozhou felt that he was not fussy enough, and immediately said: "You guys dirty my shoes, do you think you can get rid of me like this? Don't even think about it, unless... unless you pay me an extra bag of food."
Inside the main house.
"How? Isn't there any standard yet?"
A woman in red was sitting at the table, and the sound of the bell kept coming from her palm.
The maid who came in blessed her body, "Master, from yesterday to today, a total of three have entered the third round, but the first two foot types are both because the second toe is longer than the big toe, so they were excluded."
The woman in red was Song Lianyi, the new head of Fengyue Temple. His eyes were only on the golden bell in his hand, "Where is the third one?"
The maid hesitated for a moment before saying, "The third... The third one still refuses to take off his boots, so we must try to trick him away." At this point, the maid said angrily, "Our Fengyue Temple is greedy. He's out of his mind what that stinky man's boots are doing."
"If you have a problem with your brain, just drive out and talk so much nonsense with him." Song Lianyi said impatiently, "I just want to find him quickly."
"Okay, the servant girl will take a bag of food and send him away." The maid was about to leave after she finished speaking, but she was quickly stopped again.
"Wait, what do you want to get rid of?" Song Lianyi raised his eyes.
The maid turned around, "Food, the man said that if his shoes got wet, he must pay him for the food."
Song Lianyi's eyes changed slightly, and he stood up all of a sudden. He didn't even care that the bell in his hand fell on the table, "Eat? He wants to eat?"
The maid was a little puzzled, "Yes, Master, what's wrong?"
Song Lianyi laughed suddenly, "It's nothing, you still trick him to the inner room of the side hall, whether it's to get a magic weapon or to eat, let him go anyway, and I will come after I change my clothes."
Although the maid didn't understand why her nunnery master suddenly changed his mind, she hurriedly followed suit, while Song Lianyi, who stayed in the room, picked up the golden bell on the table again.
This thing has not been sent to the auction house, but it has been detained by his subordinates. The original business of Fengyue Temple has become very big. In the past few years under his hands, he has not only expanded three times, any money that wants to flow in The treasures of the auction house will come to him first to count.
If he is not interested, he will be auctioned off.
But this time the owner of the auction house prepared the auction list and sent it over. The people under him noticed the golden bell on it and reported it to him immediately. At the same time, he asked the owner of the auction house not to auction the item for the time being.
This bell was worn on Fang Chaozhou's ankle by himself five years ago. It was rumored that Fang Chaozhou died, but Bell appeared five years later
The place where it appeared was even a pawnshop near Tianshuizong.
So Song Lianyi spent three million spirit stones to buy the golden bell again, and immediately rushed to Tianshuizong, and asked someone to tie up the pawnshop owner, asking him to explain everything clearly.
"I don't dare to lie. That man really didn't look like this in the painting. His appearance is very ordinary. I saw him as a thing, but I don't know the price, so I..."
Song Lianyi smiled softly, "So I only gave him 300,000 spirit stones, and he left happily?"
The pawnshop owner's face was pale, and he quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Yes... yes."
"Then can you draw his appearance?" Song Lianyi continued to ask in a soft voice.
The pawn shop owner shook his head, "He looks really ordinary. I can see dozens of them a day. It's been a long time. I really can't remember. He signed a dead pawn at that time. I... I only know that he is Tianshuizong." disciple, I saw the badge of Tianshuizong hanging on his waist."
Song Lianyi's eyes suddenly turned cold. He got up from his seat, and the maid next to him immediately said, "Master, do you want it?" She scratched her neck.
"Don't worry, close it first, you make people pretend to be the boss, see if anyone will come back and ask the bell, if so, close it immediately." Song Lianyi paused, "Don't tie it up , but never let him go."
After leaving the pawnshop and returning to the inn where he was staying, the most trusted maid around Song Lianyi saw that Song Lianyi had returned, she just sat without saying a word, and couldn't help asking: "Master An, do you think that person is back?"
Song Lianyi heard the words and looked at the golden bell in his hand, "I think it's him, and something must have happened to him, so he kept his name incognito."
The maid said, "Why does the Master think so?"
"The Tianshui sect has no news of Fang Chaozhou's return, and he even sold the bell I gave him, which is enough to prove that something happened to him and he was extremely short of money. Otherwise, he couldn't take such a big risk to sell the bell. Maybe they will come to you." Song Lianyi laughed when he said this, "Of course, a not-so-intelligent person like him never thought about risks at all, and he didn't think I would know."
The maid thought for a while, "The master of the hermitage must be him? If someone finds Fang Chaozhou's body, takes away the gift from the master of the hermitage, and then..." Before she finished speaking, she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Yes The servants slipped their tongues, and the servants talked nonsense, and I hope that the nunnery master will forgive me."
Song Lianyi looked at the person kneeling on the ground, "You are as stupid as him. Back then, Zhongli Yueshui almost turned over the underground demon realm, but couldn't find Fang Chaozhou's body. Can others find it? Besides, Xue Danrong has been killed every now and then in the past five years. He went to the underground demon realm, and he can count the time he stayed in Tianshuizong with his fingers, but he hasn't left Tianshuizong for a long time recently."
When he said this, he let out a chuckle, "Xue Danrong won't leave Tianshuizong anymore, and it just so happened that someone sold the bell again. How can there be such a coincidence in this world."
"But even if it is him, how will the master find him? Isn't he incognito?" the maid asked.
Song Lianyi pulled his lower lip, "I'm going to tell those old men of Tianshui Sect that I want to form a Taoist partner with their disciples. The election is open. Anyone who comes to participate will have a spirit stone collar."
The maid suddenly realized, "Is the nunnery master trying to lure him out with a spirit stone?"
"Almost, but not quite. Have you thought about why he kept his name incognito even though he was short of money, and didn't ask the sect for help? I haven't forgotten how he was left behind back then, and it's even more impossible for him to forget. You said he would think about it." Come back for revenge? Xue Danrong didn't come out of Tianshui Sect, so maybe he has already found him. I recruited a son-in-law openly, just to tell him that I can help him, and even if he retreats 10,000 steps, he won't come to me. In my capacity, In addition, all those who come have spirit stone collars, there must be a lot of people who come, and he may risk to get spirit stones because of the crowd. Even if he is careful not to come, but exclude those who come, and exclude those old guys , Those who already have Taoist companions, wouldn’t it be easy to check those who didn’t come? Just focus on checking those new disciples.”
Song Lianyi looked down at the golden bell in his hand again.
"Although it's a bit troublesome, you always have to try."
The maid was very intelligent, and said quickly: "Congratulations to the master of the nunnery, congratulations to the master of the nunnery."
"Hush." Song Lianyi stretched out his hand to his red lips and made a booing motion. "I haven't found him yet, so congratulate me when I find it. By the way, how are you cleaning up the fan storybook about Fang Chaozhou recently?"
"Don't worry, Master An, except for some fools in this world, no one dares to offend our Fengyue Temple to write that ghost story book. Recently, our eyeliner at the Dark Soul Gate reported that Li Zhu only received one story book in the past six months. If we thoroughly investigate the source, we will be able to catch that idiot who wants money but not life in as little as half a month."
Song Lianyi hummed, "Clean up and go to Tianshuizong tomorrow." Speaking of this, he looked at his fingers with a smile in his eyes, "I haven't applied Kodan for a long time, let's apply it today."
Song Lianyi changed several clothes before choosing a set. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror, looking at himself in the mirror, he showed his face and smiled, but after only a moment, he immediately put away the smile , smiled again.
Unsatisfied no matter how much she smiled, Song Lianyi got annoyed and smashed the mirror in front of her with a palm.
After smashing the mirror, he turned around coldly, stepped out of the inner room with big strides, and headed all the way to the inner room of the side hall.
