Chapter 8208 Monkey
Qingyun Mountain.
A group of monkeys jumped up and down. They were not afraid of humans at all. Many monkeys came closer.
"Master, we can't walk fast, there's nothing we can do."
The bearer gasped.
"There's no rush." Luo Xingchen glanced at Mo Anbai, who was being carried by the bearers in front of him.
Those monkeys, for some reason, did not approach Mo Anbai, but seemed to avoid her intentionally.
Luo Xingchen thought for a moment, took out a small jade bottle from his arms, and then pulled out the stopper on the bottle.
A strong aroma rushed out of the bottle and quickly spread around.
Sure enough, those monkeys, after smelling the aroma, squeaked and screamed, fled away into the distance, staying far away and not daring to get close.
It turns out that what those monkeys were afraid of was the smell of perfume.
Mo Anbai wore a sachet on his body, and the fragrance inside also stained his body. After the monkeys smelled it, they were unwilling to get close.
What Luo Xingchen was holding was the perfume he used to prepare medicine. It was different from the one used by Mo Anbai, but the effect was similar.
The bearer in front said happily: "The monkey ran away."
He reached out and picked up the towel on his shoulder, wiped his sweat, and continued walking forward.
"Is the Qingyun Taoist Temple in front of you?"
Luo Xingchen looked ahead and saw the looming eaves of the Taoist temple.
"Sir, the front view is the front view, the back view is the middle view, and the back view is closed. The open view is the front view." The bearer said.
Afterwards, Luo Xingchen stopped talking, but carefully observed the surrounding environment.
This Qingyun Mountain is an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place. There are many buildings on the mountain that stretch to the top of the mountain. It can be imagined that this place has been managed like an iron barrel by the Qingyun Sect.
He is curious, where is the Qingyun Sect of the Seven Swords of Qingyun? Is it also on this Qingyun Mountain?
"Have you heard of Qingyun Sect?" Luo Xingchen asked.
"Go back to the young master, Qingyun Sect is on the auxiliary peak over there, not on the main peak."
The bearer of the sedan chair pointed to the side.
On the side, there is a slightly shorter mountain peak, but it is surrounded by clouds and fog at this time, and only a vague outline can be seen.
But judging from the position there, it is far more difficult to get to the secondary peak than to climb the main peak.
“There aren’t many houses over there.” Luo Xingchen frowned.
"Yes, Master, there are few houses and few people there. We villagers at the foot of the mountain all know that there are only more than fifty people in Qingyun Sect, while Qingyun Sect has thousands of people." The bearer said .
The contrast between more than fifty people and thousands of people is too obvious.
“Sir, the main hall is in front of you.”
After a while, the upward stairs turned, and a flat square appeared in front of Luo Xingchen.
The square is paved with stones and is very flat.
There were already a lot of bearers around. Those who went up the mountain on sliding poles paid their bills and walked towards the main hall.
"Sir, we may have gone to the wrong place." Mo Anbai had already arrived at Luo Xingchen's side.
“Since we are here, let’s take a walk first.”
When Luo Xingchen was talking, he saw Yun Zhen walking over with his housekeeper and maid.
"Brother Jia, Miss Jia, this is the main hall in front of Qingyun Gate. If you want to offer incense, enter the main hall."
Yunzhen had a smile on her face, and her words were quite expressive. attentive.
"Brother Yun, you're welcome. We are about to go and offer incense."
Luo Xingchen responded.
"Let's go together," Yun Zhen said. Walk up from the square and pass through many stairs before you step in front of the main hall.
This hall is full of ancient charm, with poems by famous people engraved on the wooden pillars.
There was a Taoist priest at the door wearing brand new robes, sitting on a chair sanctimoniously, with a table in front of him.
There is only one thing he does, and that is to collect incense money.
There is a large jar on the table with rows of sandalwood nearby.
Sandalwood is sold separately and is not included in the incense price.
"Bring me some incense." Luo Xingchen first took out the silver and threw it into the big jar as incense money.
Then he pointed at the sandalwood on the table.
“Brother Jia, let me buy it.”
Yunzhen squeezed forward. He deliberately approached Luo Xingchen and Mo Anbai.
From the corner of his eye that he cast from time to time, Luo Xingchen could tell that Yunzhen had bad intentions and that he was a drunkard who didn't care about drinking.
"How can we let Brother Yun spend more money? I will pay for this."
Luo Xingchen took the lead and paid the money.
This sandalwood is really expensive. The price is at least ten times higher than down the mountain. Selling incense at the door is really a good business with huge profits.
The Qingyun Sect really never misses any opportunity to make money.
Luo Xingchen quickly entered the main hall. The statue of Sanqing was enshrined first, and there were also statues of other gods on the side.
"Master, do you really want to worship God?" Mo Anbai whispered.
“Bye bye, do as the Romans do.”
Luo Xingchen said.
The pilgrims nearby are all worshiping gods. If they don't worship, they will look out of place.
Half an hour later, Luo Xingchen came to the nearby side hall and rested in a box.
Here, in the side hall, there are many private rooms. As long as you pay, you can rest and have meals.
There were only Luo Xingchen and Mo Anbai in the box. Yun Zhen wanted to follow, but Luo Xingchen declined.
“This is not a Taoist and pure place. Everything is sold here and it smells like copper.”
Mo Anbai took a sip of fragrant tea.
"In terms of business ability alone, Yu Lingxiao is a talented person. I think he should not be the leader of the Qingyun Sect. He should go into business and become a big shopkeeper."
Luo Xingchen road.
“But he is the leader of the Qingyun Sect. A sect still needs to have a strong spirit, but now, the Qingyun Sect is so obsessed with making money. If things go on like this, the disciples of the sect have become refined and self-interested. Otherwise, everyone has magnified their selfishness, and the sect has no cohesion and cannot cope with the crisis."
Mo Anbai frowned, she could see the problem with Qingyun Sect at a glance.
"That's Yu Lingxiao's business. Yu Lingxiao is not a good person." Luo Xingchen said.
There were some words that he kept in his heart but did not say out loud. That Yu Lingxiao was drunk, lustful, wealthy, and acted wantonly. He really thought that if he had money, he could do whatever he wanted. But you don’t know that there are some things that even if you have money, it would be impossible. What can't be done.
"What happened to the Qingyun Sect? It had nothing to do with us originally, but they had a conflict with the Seven Swords of Qingyun, which prevented them from coming to join me in time. This is their fault." Luo Xingchen said coldly. .
He will definitely punish those who offend him.
"What do you plan to do, Master?" Mo Anbai asked.
"Executing without teaching is not my style. I will collect evidence of the Qingyun Sect's crimes and judge them openly and openly."
"On the way, the bearer of the sedan chair told me that the Qingyun Sect robbed them by force and used They use various means to seize other people's land. In the meantime, it is impossible for them not to violate the laws of Daqi," Luo Xingchen said lightly.
In this regard, Mo Anbai could only feel silent condolences for Qingyun Sect.
