Chapter 592: Cheap Master
After the old way took me away, I came to the bottom of a towering mountain range.
Lao Dao said: "Good apprentice, from now on you will be the apprentice of the teacher, you must respect my old man well." ”
"Well, the master is above, and I will be worshiped by the apprentice." I said, giving the old Tao a big salute.
Lao Dao stroked his beard with one hand, looked very useful, nodded and said: "Get up, good man, you have a vision, you can be your master in a glance among ten thousand people, you have made it." ”
"Ahem~ Isn't it just you and the Great Elder? Master. I asked, with a strange look.
Lao Dao didn't seem to hear it, and he was happy, and I asked again, "Master, the apprentice doesn't know your name yet." ”
"Well, everyone else calls me Master Chicken Heart." Lao Dao said.
"Ji Di?" I thought to myself, that's a good name.
"Hmm." Lao Dao nodded. "Because the teacher loves to eat chicken hearts, so others call me Master Chicken Hearts, after a long time, I forgot my name haha!"
"This chicken heart?" I muttered to myself. "How can there be a master's name so rude and tasteless, am I blind? It shouldn't be......"
"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?" Master Chicken Heart asked.
I said, "Apprentice, take the liberty of asking the master what position he holds in Qizong Mountain when he is old this year?" ”
"Me? It seems to be six out of seventy, I can't remember exactly how big it is, my brain has been smashed before, here it is. Master Chicken Heart said, pointing to a scar on his forehead. As for the position of the teacher, hehe, so to speak, there is no place in Qizong Mountain that I can't go. ”
"You are the Supreme Elder of Qi Sect Mountain?" I asked.
"No, no, no, I don't dare to climb a big man like the Great Elder, guess again."
"Boss?"
"What do you think I look like a master?"
"That's right." I muttered. "Oh, master, you should be the guest elder of Qi Sect Mountain, and you are the kind with a particularly high seniority."
As soon as I finished speaking, a young disciple walked down from the mountain, and the young disciple said, "Master Jixin, there is a road surface on the Yuxiao Mountain Road that has too many leaves and has not been cleaned, you go and sweep it." ”
"Okay." Master Chicken Heart said.
"Damn...... "I chuckled in my heart." Master, what does he mean by that? ”
"What else do you mean, you are familiar with my dormitory first, and I will go and sweep the road on the mountain."
"Master, wait a minute, you ...... Are you a sanitation worker in Qizong Mountain? ”
"What, you look down on sanitation workers?" Master Chicken Heart glared at me and said.
"No, I don't look down on the sanitation worker, I'm shocked that you are a sanitation worker, you walk with the Great Elder, I see the attitude of the Great Elder, and I am respectful to you, shouldn't you be his elder?"
"Oh that's not, the Great Elder is more than four hundred years old, he is a transcendent sage, do you know what a transcendent sage is, after Yuan Yang, the flood furnace formation has a divine light, and after the divine light, it is the transcendent saint level, and then below is the true immortal! How can I compare to the Great Elder! ”
"Then ...... "I want to cry without tears." Why is the Great Elder so humble about you? ”
"I'm a sanitation worker on this Qizong Mountain, he made an appointment in advance to go to his cave house tomorrow morning to clean up, he has a bad attitude, can I agree to go, you know, Weishi is the only sanitation worker in this Qizong Mountain."
"Then what did you mean when you said that there is no place in Qizong Mountain that you can't go?" I asked.
"Everywhere has to be cleaned, even if it's a high-end place, it must be kept hygienic at all times, and it won't be so clean if no one cleans it, right?" Master Chicken Heart said with a serious expression.
"I ......" I gasped, my heart chilling.
"What's wrong with you, good boy."
"It's okay, I'm dizzy, you tell me to be quiet."
My mind is buzzing, I am the Demon Emperor of the Nether, although the Nether and the Heavenly Realm cannot be compared, but I was at least a Demon Emperor above ten thousand people, and even if I was a disciple of Qizong Mountain, I didn't pay attention to it, how could I look away and worship a sweeping teacher as a teacher?
"That good boy, you rest first, I'll go sweep the floor, and I'll clean up a bedroom for you when I go back, I have a lot of rooms." The master of the chicken heart said with a hippie smile, carrying a broom, and happily humming a little song towards the mountain.
"The dormitory is a fart, it's a few utility rooms filled with garbage." I whispered.
Master Chicken Heart had already walked away, and I looked at a huge stone tablet not far away, and what was written on it was the three big characters of Yuxiao Peak.
"Yuxiao Peak, Yuxiao List, should be the area where the top 100 disciples of the Shangqi Sect gather."
I was 10,000 unhappy in my heart, but I always felt that it shouldn't be like this, just look at these simple utility rooms, the middle position is occupied by the chicken heart master, and the inside is also a mess, which makes me look nauseous, and the utility room next to it is full of brooms and some old tables and chairs that have fallen into disrepair.
I couldn't look past it, so I threw everything away and made my bed.
An hour later, Master Chicken Heart returned, threw the broom into the courtyard, and said, "Good boy, I have come back for my master." ”
I came out of the room with a look of disdain, and when Master Jixin saw that the room was cleaned, he said: "Okay, good, it's really not an apprentice who was harvested for nothing, but he is quite diligent, so he doesn't have to bother with being a teacher, take this wine gourd, and go to help the teacher get some wine and come back." ”
As he spoke, Master Chicken Heart threw the wine gourd around his waist to me, and I asked, "Where can I go to get wine?" ”
Master Chicken Heart said: "There is a Nanyao Mountain five miles along the south path, go inside to find Elder Yulin or Li Waste." ”
"Elder Yulin, Li Waste?" I was surprised.
"Li Feiwu, he's a cripple, so I call him Li Waste, but you can call him Lao Li." With that, Master Chicken Heart turned and entered the room, and closed the door.
"What are you doing when you're closed, what about the money, I haven't given me the money for drinking." I said.
The door creaked open, and Master Chicken Heart handed me another black bottle, saying, "The soy sauce at home is gone, go and fill it up." ”
Master Jixin handed me the soy sauce bottle and immediately closed the door, I held the wine gourd in one hand and the soy sauce bottle in the other, I was stunned for a while, kicked the door and said: "You let me make wine and soy sauce, but give me the money!" ”
"Master?"
"Master Chicken Heart?"
"Old thing! Open the door, old fellow, you haven't given me the money yet. ”
"You have to figure out the money yourself, you won't take credit!" The voice of the Master of the Chicken Heart came from inside the room.
I looked depressed, I had a feeling of recognizing a thief as my father, and I couldn't help but scold and scold and withdraw from the compound and walk towards Nanyao Mountain.
Nanyao Mountain is not big, there are medicine gardens everywhere, and there is a faint smell of sake lees, I found a winery along the smell of sake lees, and saw a big man who looked like a butcher with a white belly around his chest, and there was wine brewing coming out of the bamboo tube in front of him, so he stepped forward and asked, "May I ask if Lao Li is here?" ”
The big man raised his head and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”
I said, "My master asked me to make sake and soy sauce by the way." ”
"Who is your master?" Lao Li asked.
I said, "It's the Master of Chicken Hearts." ”
"Chicken heart has taken in the apprentice?" Lao Li was surprised. "How did you get tricked by him?"
"I, I myself will worship him as a teacher." I choked up a little.
"Oh, I'll just say." Lao Li said. "It's still okay to sweep the floor with a chicken heart, if you learn it well, you will sweep the floor in the future, take out the garbage, and you can eat in Qizong Mountain, forget it, I won't tell you, do you bring money?"
"I didn't bring it." I said.
"What kind of wine are you drinking without any money?" Lao Li's face was not good-looking.
"My master said that you can pay on credit." I said.
"He can pay on credit, you can't, now that you have become his apprentice, in the future he will rely on you for all the bad debts, and you have no money, who will I ask for money!" Lao Li was a little annoyed when he said it. "If it weren't for the Great Elder's previous inform, I wouldn't have given this old thing wine on credit, you either let him come by himself and give me a handprint in a righteous manner, or you can scoop the wine residue next to him and give him a drink, you can't give good wine."
I glanced at the abandoned wine residue in the wine pit next to me, it stinks, and I can't be too tough on this kind of thing, I can't punch someone to death because of buying a wine, it's not right, so I gritted my teeth and asked, "How much does my master owe you?" ”
"What, do you have the money to pay it back?" Lao Li glanced at me and said.
"Yes, what I have is money."
"Huh." Lao Li smiled and said, "Okay, you wait." ”
Lao Li said and entered the house, and after a while, he took out a large box, which was full of account books, and I said: "You brew wine for the sect, why do you still prepare so many bills, and remember how much time you waste in every payment." ”
"You're wrong, not every stroke is remembered, I have been making wine for the sect for more than 70 years, since I came to this winery, I have taken over this old guy's bad debts, the sect will distribute wine every year, he wants to drink more, and he has to drink good wine, these account books are prepared for him alone."
"One person drank so much wine?" I looked at the boxes full of ledgers and shuddered.
"Why, if you can't afford it, forget it, I don't think it's easy for you to be deceived, I won't embarrass you this time, I'll bring you one or two, and you won't come next time." Lao Li said.
"No, you can do the math, I'll see how much he can drink."
Lao Li sighed again, took out the abacus, and began to calculate the accounts with the rapid fluctuation abacus, until the moon set and cried, he read according to the abacus: "A total of eighty-eight thousand eight hundred and ninety-five taels, gold." ”
"Seventy years to drink that much wine?" I asked.
"When I took over my master's winery, he owed 70,000 taels, and you thought my wine was an ordinary wine?" Lao Li said. "I'll give you the whole zero, just give me 80,000 taels."
"Alright then, thank you for cheapening me so much." As I spoke, I took out eight bags of gold from the vault and threw them in front of Lao Li.
Lao Li looked surprised, he opened the cloth bag suspiciously, and found that it was indeed golden gold, and gasped, obviously he didn't plan to ask for this bad debt at all, but I really gave it.
"You, where did you get so much money?" Lao Li asked in a low voice, looking at me with a change in his eyes.
I said, "I'll take this box back and burn it, and in the future, my master won't owe you money, and the wealth will not be exposed, and we will keep it secret from each other." ”
"Yes, keep it from each other." Lao Li nodded the same.
"Also, you help me fill the wine gourd and the soy sauce too."
"Good, good." Lao Li said hello three times in a row, and quickly moved the eight bags of gold to the house.
Eight bags of gold are a drop in the bucket for me, I have been a demon emperor for ten years, the wealth of the world has been exhausted, and many ancient families that cannot be lived for a lifetime have been hollowed out by me.
Carrying the wine gourd and soy sauce bottle down the Nanyao Mountain, back to the utility room under the Yuxiao Peak, I pushed open the old guy's door, found that he was already asleep, so I put the wine and soy sauce on the table and quietly went out.
Early the next morning, there was a knock at the door.
"Good apprentice, open the door, tell me what's going on, why are you filling my wine?"
"Old fellow, it's my kindness to call you, don't come and disturb my sleep." I said sleepily that I couldn't complain about this cheap master.
"Okay, good apprentice, just now Lao Li has already told me about you paying off the debts for the teacher, I didn't expect you to be a local tyrant, there are still a few accounts here for the teacher, you might as well pay them all back."
"Get out!"
