Chapter 31: The Wages of Tragedy

"It means that this is an immortal mansion?" Zhao Xuan asked Zhang Yuan: "Then it's only been an hour or two since I entered and exited?" How is it not for many years? ”

"I beg you to see if the book is good." Zhang Yuan was a little speechless and said: "Myths and legends are false, can you believe them?" ”

"Isn't that what you call a rotten chess game?"

"It's convenient for me to explain." Zhang Yuan looked like he hated iron but not steel, and said to Zhao Xuan: "Distort people's perceptions, including people's feelings about time. So you think it's only been more than ten minutes, but it's actually been two or three hours. ”

"But we're not affected now, are we?" Zhao Xuan took out his mobile phone, looked at the time, it had only been about twenty minutes since the Taoist temple, obviously there was no problem, and asked Zhang Yuan: "Then I am affected, it stands to reason that I should not be able to see the cave, right?" ”

Zhang Yuan shook his head and said, "It may also be that you have been affected, so you can see that cave." Also, I guess you heard Director Zhao's voice again, which is also the reason for the impact. ”

Zhang Yuan pointed to his head: "I suggest you go back and check your head next time, I always feel that you have been implanted with something." ”

"Won't it?" These words frightened Zhao Xuan, and some memories were implanted in his subconscious, which were much more terrifying than ghosts, monsters, or something.

"I don't know." Zhang Yuan turned over and stood up, patted his buttocks, and said, "Let's go, come back tomorrow morning when you meet the cave." ”

"So what are you going to do now?" Zhao Xuan stood up and asked Zhang Yuan as he walked.

"Prepare something."

"Isn't that big enough in your suitcase?" Zhao Xuan was impressed by Zhang Yuan's huge suitcase.

"Maybe I thought of it in the cave, but I didn't expect anything abnormal."

The two of them didn't even enter Sanqingguan, they went directly down the mountain to the city, bought a big bag of things, and then turned back to Sanqingguan. Didn't even miss dinner.

There was no entertainment in the temple, and in the afternoon the pilgrims began to decrease, and as soon as it got dark, there were no more people.

Zhao Xuan followed the Taoist priest in the temple and washed with well water, and before nine o'clock, he was already lying on the bed. On the contrary, Zhang Yuan said that he was going to have an evening class with the Taoist priests, but he has not come back yet.

There is only one abbot in the entire Taoist temple, three or four resident Taoist priests, and three or four people who place orders, adding up to less than ten people in total. This scale can definitely not be regarded as "small", but it is located in a famous Taoist mountain, which is not as good as other Taoist temples. It was the first time that Zhao Xuan had heard that the steward of the original Taoist temple was also called the "abbot", and he was very interested, and he specially "asked" Zhang Yuan for advice, but his tone was not very polite when he asked......

Originally, Taoism did not even have a Taoist temple, but it was only after Buddhism gradually developed in China that it began to develop in large numbers in order to attract believers to learn the model of Buddhist monasteries.

And the same is true of "abbot, abbot", which was originally a Buddhist term and is also used in Taoism. Even the Confucian Temple and the Confucian Temple will use the "abbot" to refer to the steward.

In the inheritance and development of the three schools of "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism" in China, there are too many examples of such integration and reference, and there are many things that are inseparable from each other, and the traditional Chinese Confucian culture is produced by the interweaving of the three schools.

It took a while for Zhang Yuan to come back. Zhao Xuanyi asked, it turned out that he went to chat with the abbot.

Zhao Xuan admired Zhang Yuan's communication skills, no matter what kind of people he taught and ninth, Zhang Yuan could talk to others.

On the one hand, the reason is that Zhang Yuan has been used to dealing with people since he was a child, and he doesn't say anything about the world, on the other hand, this guy is really a genius, he learns everything quickly, and he knows a lot about everything.

It's just that this kind of thing must not be said in front of Zhang Yuan, otherwise this two-hundred-pound fat man can really fly to the sky.

Zhao Xuan was about to ask Zhang Yuan what he had been talking to the abbot just now, when the phone rang, it was the sound of a text message, and within a few seconds, Zhang Yuan's phone also rang.

"Yo hehe, it's time to pay your salary." Zhang Yuanle took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, then put it back in his pocket.

"Ask you something...... Zhao Xuan looked at the text message on his mobile phone, and asked Zhang Yuan without tears: "How much have you sent?" ”

"It's the same as before, huh? What's wrong? Zhang Yuan glanced at Zhao Xuan strangely, took out his mobile phone again to confirm, and said in surprise: "No problem?" ”

"Two months' salary, ......" Zhao Xuan wordlessly handed the mobile phone to Zhang Yuan.

"Damn, there's a zero missing, right?" Zhang Yuan looked at Zhao Xuan's text message, and he was also a little unconvinced. As he took out his phone and walked out, he said, "I'll ask you." ”

A few minutes later, Zhang Yuan came back, held back a smile, shook his head and said, "The salary is correct." ”

"How many of you?!" Zhao Xuan was anxious, looking at the "3102.32" on the salary text message, he really didn't know what to say, what about two months' salary, if the real salary is like this, it would be good to starve to death in the capital.

"Add zero." Zhang Yuan hit Zhao Xuan first, and then smiled again: "Don't worry, they will invent details for you later, it's true." ”

"Ding". Sure enough, within two minutes, Zhao Xuan received a spreadsheet on the internal communication software.

Zhao Xuan hurriedly opened them one by one and looked at them one by one.

Like ordinary civil servants, the salary of the month is paid around the 10th of each month, and it is a few days earlier due to the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. Zhao Xuan just paid his salary after reporting last month, and he didn't catch up, so this time it should be two months.

Zhao Xuan's salary should be more than 20,000 yuan, which is a lot, after deducting some expenses such as provident fund and social security, there should be no problem with 15,000 or 6,000 yuan, but this is still because of the first year of probation, the salary is only 70%, and when the time comes, it will be turned regular after a year, and there should be some repayment. This salary still made Zhao Xuan breathe a sigh of relief, not a high salary, but also a little rich.

But looking at the deduction, there are more than 30,000 yuan in the "other" item, and there is a remark at the back: the remaining 20,000 yuan should be deducted.

Zhao Xuan raised his head and asked Zhang Yuan: "What kind of money is deducted from this 'other'?" ”

Zhang Yuan replied: "The dormitory is equipped with air conditioning and floor heating, more than 10,000. ”

Zhao Xuan nodded, this should be considered normal, even if the unit doesn't get it, you have to get it yourself if you live in it. Then he asked, "What about the rest?" ”

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he laughed and said, "Bumper, more than 40,000." ”

"What bumper?" Zhao Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted: "It means, the two front and rear bumpers on my van cost more than 40,000?" ”

"That's right! Verification models are free of charge, mass production is not. Zhang Yuan couldn't breathe with a smile and said, "In other words, the bumper of your car is the body, hahaha." ”

Zhao Xuan looked at Zhang Yuan who was smiling on the bed speechlessly, looked at the text message again, and said, "In other words, I still have to pay back two months?" ”

"You can also remove the bumper and sell it, and you can definitely make some money. After all, what sells you is the cost price. ”

"Sell to whom?" Zhao Xuan knew the reason, but he was not in a hurry, and he was not poor, so he did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked Zhang Yuan: "What did you go to talk to the abbot about just now?" ”

"It's nothing, just ask about the situation." Zhang Yuan said: "Then I revealed a little bit about the nature of our work. After all, if the well at the door and the cave behind it are abnormal and can't be taken away, they still need the help of these supernumerary personnel. ”

"I didn't find a problem with the well water?" After staying for a day today, Zhao Xuan didn't drink less well water, and the water from the well was used for washing at night, except that it was a little sweeter than tap water, and he didn't find any problems.

"I didn't see any problems either. However, according to the abbot's meaning, it should be felt by people with diseases. Zhang Yuan shook his head and said, "If this statement is true, then it is more likely to be abnormal." ”

"Sleep, sleep. Tomorrow morning go to the cave first. After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he pulled the quilt.

Early the next morning, Zhao Xuan got up as soon as the sky was bright, but found that Zhang Yuan was actually earlier than him.

"It's rare for you, so early." Zhao Xuan saw Zhang Yuan by the well, and greeted Zhang Yuan while fetching water, brushing his teeth and washing his face.

"I have an order, I have to do a morning class." Zhang Yuan spit out the mouthwash in his mouth and said.

"Come on, you." Zhao Xuan brushed his teeth and said inarticulately: "You still receive the state's salary, it's not like sleeping in the unit every day." ”

Zhang Yuan stretched out the towel in his hand and motioned for Zhao Xuan to help pour the scoop of water, while saying, "That's different." The impact is not good. ”

Zhao Xuan put down the water cup, picked up the scoop in the water tank, poured a scoop of water on Zhang Yuan's towel, and said, "What's the impact on you?" ”

The two finished washing up while talking, Zhao Xuan happened to be fine, and simply went to the morning class with Zhang Yuan.

said that he was doing a morning class, but Zhao Xuan really wouldn't, the real indiscriminate was a handful, sitting cross-legged on a futon, just shaking his head with the Taoist priests.

After reciting the sutra for an hour, we went to breakfast together.

Zhao Xuan hadn't gotten up so early for a long time, but after messing around, he felt refreshed.

Turning back to the dormitory, the two began to pack their things.

Zhao Xuan came with a backpack on his back, just in time to free up his things. Stuff the things I bought yesterday, as well as the miscellaneous things in Zhang Yuan's bag that may be usable, into my bag. Finally, change into long-sleeved trousers and hold the jacket in your hand.

The two of them carried a large bag on their backs, and went back to the waterhole, and then crossed the creek to the end of the path.

Not surprisingly, I still didn't see the location of the cave.

Zhang Yuan put the bag on the ground, took out a roll of nylon rope from it, and asked Zhao Xuan to pull it.

"Let's test my idea first." Zhang Yuan pulled the rope and walked towards the cliff while dismantling the nylon rope. As he walked, he said, "If I'm right, we can only discover the cave when we are affected by the anomaly, which means that our perception is not affected now. ”

Zhang Yuan walked to the cliff and motioned for Zhao Xuan to tighten the rope.

Zhao Xuan pulled the nylon rope tightly, and the rope was lifted from the ground, forming a straight line between Zhang Yuan and Zhao Xuan.

"You pull back and try again."

Zhao Xuan wrapped the rope around his hand twice and pulled the rope back. Zhang Yuan sent the rope out little by little with Zhao Xuan's force.

Zhao Xuan retreated twenty or thirty meters, nearly forty or fifty meters away from Zhang Yuan on the edge of the cliff, and saw that the rope in Zhang Yuan's hand was almost finished.

Zhao Xuan stopped, and was about to wave his hand to Zhang Yuan, and when he began to walk back, he suddenly found that the cave suddenly appeared less than ten meters on Zhang Yuan's left hand.

Looking at the rope in front of me, it was like a laser shining on a mirror, and it was twisted into several "Z" shapes!
