Chapter 137: The Temple



To be honest, the land of the Lao family is really amazing, Luo Xiaoli didn't feel anything when she followed the housekeeper last night, but now when she looks at it during the day, she hasn't seen a shadow for more than a quarter of an hour.

"How far is it?" Luo Xiaoli couldn't help muttering angrily.

But muttering, muttering, it's over, Luo Xiaoli wants to go to the housekeeper according to the memory of last night's come, and see what kind of work she will do here in the Lao family today.

While walking, Luo Xiaoli couldn't help but pay attention to the gurgling river next to her...... Or rather, spiritual tea.

Last night, because the sky was too dark, even if Luo Xiaoli was passing by, she didn't find that the Tianhe she had seen in the palace would actually pass by again. And in terms of color, it seems to be a little more intense, and I don't know if it has something to do with the upstream, midstream and downstream that Pu'er briefly mentioned.

Before, he was concentrating on moving forward, but he didn't reach his destination for half a day, but now Luo Xiaoli walked so carelessly for a while, but he saw the room that the housekeeper ordered to come to him yesterday. Then she raised her eyes and looked, and she felt that it was not early, so she walked over quickly.

"Butler." When Luo Xiaoli walked over, the housekeeper seemed to have just finished giving instructions to that group of subordinates, and the latter scattered away, as if they were busy according to the explanation, she immediately walked up with a smile on her face, said hello and said.

But for this set, the housekeeper didn't seem to be interested, and after looking at the hour, he felt that Luo Xiaoli was a little later than agreed, frowned and glanced at her, and then slowly spoke: "Although you are the person brought back by Young Master Pu'er, but unfortunately, now all positions in our Lao family are full, and there is no need to add more manpower for the time being." ”

"Huh? So, can I rest and not have to work or anything? Hearing this, Luo Xiaoli couldn't help but say with joy.

"What do you think? Where is such a good thing! Since there are enough people for each position, it has been decided to arrange for you to be in charge of guarding the family temple. Of course, this kind of guard is not only patrolling, but also cleaning on weekdays, which is your responsibility. After glaring at the girl whose idea was so unrealistic, the butler said lightly.

"Temple?" Hearing this, Luo Xiaoli was slightly stunned and asked rhetorically.

"It is a place dedicated to the ancestors of our Lao family, which is very sacred. So in general, unrelated people can't get close. Now I see that the temple almost needs to be cleaned on a large scale, and you are the maidservant brought back by the young master Pu'er, so I made such an arrangement. With a wave of his hand, he motioned to Luo Xiaoli, the housekeeper who followed him, and said nonchalantly.

"But...... Butler, I'm so hungry, there should be something to eat here, right? Although she realized that this place called the temple should not be simple, she was soon attracted by her rumbling belly, her brows furrowed slightly, and she asked tentatively.

His face sank, and the housekeeper, who felt a little unbearable for the new girl's repeated speechless reactions, finally suppressed a trace of anger rising in his chest, turned it into a soft snort, and then turned his hand over, and suddenly there were a few more steamed buns on his palm, and handed it to Luo Xiaoli, and then let her follow while eating.

"Also, since you have been sent to guard the temple, then according to the rules, you will naturally have to stay there. Don't look at me like that, it's always the rule of the family. In order to facilitate the guarding of the temple, it is common to live in a hut next to it. If there is nothing to do, you are not allowed to leave at will, and three meals a day will be delivered by a special person. The butler who was walking in front suddenly changed the direction of his footsteps, as if he was heading towards a deep place in this house.

And Luo Xiaoli, who was following behind, was startled by what the housekeeper had just said, and after several efforts to swallow the steamed bun stuck in her throat, she looked left and right, although she felt that something seemed to be wrong nearby, but in the end she followed quickly so as not to fall behind.

Soon, under the explanation of Steward Lao all the way and the two of them walking wider and wider, a building standing in the middle of the dead forest gradually appeared in front of the two of them.

Luo Xiaoli first glanced at Xiaodao, who couldn't see a single figure, and then looked at the temple in front of her with a frown, silent.

This temple of the Lao family...... Just by looking at it, you can know that this is here, and in fact, in terms of luxury, it is not inferior to the palace she has seen before, not only that, the door here is open, and there is no end in sight, and there is a gust of wind inside, and there is a whining sound, as if someone is crying, so that Luo Xiaoli raised her eyebrows after swallowing a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, and asked cautiously: "I said housekeeper, I don't want to live near here, right?" ”

"Exactly. Look, that house is used by the people who usually guard this place. As he spoke, Steward Lao, who was expressionless, directly stretched out his hand and pointed to Luo Xiaoli's left side, and said lightly.

Looking in the direction pointed by the housekeeper, I saw a small attic on the second floor and immediately entered Luo Xiaoli's field of vision.

Compared with the temple next to it, this small attic is indeed inconspicuous, but compared with ordinary buildings, it is already a lot ahead, anyway, it is better than the attic where Luo Xiaoli lived last night.

"That's all I have to say. For the rest, you ...... Work hard. Holding back Luo Xiaoli's glance, the housekeeper who seemed to want to say something didn't say much in the end, and after patting Luo Xiaoli, who had combed her balls, turned around and left, extremely chic.

Watching the housekeeper gradually walk away, Luo Xiaoli struggled a little for a while under the turn of her eyes, and finally there was really no way, now people have to bow their heads under the eaves, so they can only walk weakly to the attic where they were about to move out after staying for one night last night, and pack their luggage.

On the other hand, not long after Luo Xiaoli walked away, a spiritual light swept towards the temple at an extremely fast speed.

This ray of light was blue and white, and there was a figure looming inside, and at a glance, you could know what kind of fairy treasure it was.

After a while, when this light slowly fell to the ground, the figure that had just faintly appeared to reveal its true appearance.

If Luo Xiaoli walked two steps slower, she would definitely be able to recognize who it would be if it wasn't Pu'er.

But unlike yesterday's situation, Pu'er's face was solemn, as if he was thinking about something, and when he looked up at the temple of the Lao family, there was a touch of complexity in his eyes.

"Ugh."

In the end, after sighing lightly, Pu'er walked into the dark temple, and all this was unknown to Luo Xiaoli, who happened to leave.

Then again, Luo Xiaoli said that she was just going back to pack her luggage, but in fact, she really didn't have many things. After all, as a wanderer, the storage bag can't be opened, so the only belongings are a set of clothes and some accessories brought from Huayue Tower.

But it's okay, at least it's not like I've just arrived in this Suzaku country, and I don't have a single child on my body.

Now I have a job for the Lao family...... I think it is very likely that I will return to the immortal path in the future.

"Come on, come on, come on!" In front of the empty small attic, Luo Xiaoli cheered herself up like this.

This attic, which is used by the person in charge of the temple, is not the same as Luo Xiaoli imagined, although it is not spotless, but most of it is very clean. It looks like there were people living here not long ago.

"Hey, no matter, let's live first." So, Luo Xiaoli, who had made such a decision, began to live in the attic.

Because the size of this loft is small compared to the average person of the same kind, but if it is inhabited by one person, it is large enough. So after Luo Xiaoli carefully selected, in order to facilitate work, she directly chose a room located on the first floor.

When Luo Xiaoli finished all this, it happened to be noon again, and the result was really the same as the housekeeper said, someone would bring the meal.

In this way, Luo Xiaoli was not in a hurry to start work, and after eating a slow lunch, she went back to the house and fell asleep.

Seriously, it's a nice work environment, and things are mostly new, if not ...... But Luo Xiaoli saw that every room was almost equipped, so she replaced the other room for herself.

Anyway, according to the housekeeper, there is usually no need for too many people to take care of it here, otherwise it will affect the tranquility of the temple, so Luo Xiaoli has no problem taking this attic for herself.

slept until the afternoon, and then Luo Xiaoli thought about it, although today is the first day to come here, if she does nothing, she doesn't know what will happen if she is caught...... So in the end, I decided to go out and clean up as the housekeeper ordered.

said that it was just so, but in fact, Luo Xiaoli's range of activities was only in the path and the surrounding area of the temple when she came, as for the entrance that felt eerie at a glance, she didn't dare to approach for half a minute.

Although she was an immortal cultivator before, this temple is also a place to worship deceased immortal cultivators, God knows what will appear inside, so if there is nothing special, Luo Xiaoli is not ready to go in casually.

It's just that after walking around the temple like this, Luo Xiaoli found that this building is really big. I don't know what kind of magic power or prohibition, but I didn't finish it for half an hour, it's really scary.

Not only that, Luo Xiaoli also unexpectedly discovered that the Lao family's tea river seemed to be the ...... flowing out of this area.
