The sound insulation effect in this inn is not good, Xu Huaigu can hear the sound of crying and making noise on the table downstairs, as well as the sound of the teapot crashing on the table, and it took a while to stop.

Xu Huaigu couldn't cry or laugh downstairs, but he was still the one who was not too embarrassed to laugh, so he had to hold back his laughter, but he was suffocated.

Not long after the voice stopped, Chu Xiuyang and Chu Wenze finally walked down. Xu Huaigu looked up and saw Chu Xiuyang's reddened eyes and tear stains on his cheeks, grinned at her, so angry that Chu Xiuyang stomped his feet and glanced at him fiercely.

At this time, although she was still wearing the same black robe, she also put down her bow and arrows. The pear blossom with rain after the woman cried was also a little cute. So Xu Huaigu stopped fighting against her, turned his head around, and waited for the two to come down.

Chu Wenze carefully pulled Chu Xiuyang down all the way, for fear that as soon as he let go, Her Royal Highness the pampered princess would run back immediately.

He walked up to Xu Huaigu and said embarrassedly, "Brother Yu has made a joke and delayed you a lot, so let's leave immediately."

Xu Huaigu waved his hand, signaling that it was okay. So Chu Wenze took Chu Xiuyang to the outside of the inn, Xu Huaigu followed, and the two old men walked last.

Along the way, Chu Wenze was looking for some topics to talk about with Xu Huaigu, Xu Huaigu knew everything, and as for some things he didn't know, Xu Huaigu listened to Chu Wenze talk about it in detail.

By the time they crossed the hill behind the town, the two had already spoken a lot. Xu Huaigu was surprised to find that Chu Wenze was not that pure nerd, and he really knew a lot of things. He knew many things that Xu Huaigu had never heard of, especially the history and customs of Dongfu Yaozhou, and what came out of his mouth was not that simple knowledge, and it was usually mixed with Chu Wenze's strange ideas, which made people sound very interesting, which made Xu Huaigu have a great impression of this scholar in green shirts.

And Chu Xiuyang, who was beside him, was silent all the way, and it seemed that he was still angry in the morning. But when Xu Huaigu clearly saw Chu Wenze talking about a few funny things, the corners of her mouth were raised, but the girl seemed to be thin-skinned and unwilling to forgive her brother so quickly, so she pretended to be angry.

Xu Huaigu secretly thought in his heart, this woman is also a beautiful person.

After climbing this mountain, it is already past noon, but now it is the Qingming season, the weather is not hot, even if it is noon, it only makes people feel very comfortable.

The hill where the Fuyao Sect was located gradually appeared. This is only the outermost mountain, and it towers into the clouds, reaching the blue sky.

Xu Huaigu looked at it from the bottom of the mountain, this mountain was covered with clouds and mist from about halfway up the mountain, and it should be a few points higher than the Hangxun Mountain he had seen before. As for the mountains of Qingfeng Valley and Zixia Sect, compared to the height of this one, they can only be seen by a small amount, far less.

However, there is a more significant difference between this mountain and the mountains of other immortal sects that Xu Huaigu has seen, that is, it is much more lively. Xu Huaigu saw a bustling crowd at the foot of the mountain, and it seemed that many people had come up from Dongping Town and other surrounding towns, gathered at the foot of the mountain, ready to climb the mountain.

What made Xu Huaigu curious was that most of these people had no cultivation, and they were actually ordinary people, but judging by their appearance and clothing, they were mostly Confucian scholars and young beautiful women.

The two old men who followed the Chu brothers and sisters around him were both monks, and they guarded every inch, the two brothers and sisters obviously came from extraordinary backgrounds, and it was understandable that they had something to do when they went to Fuyao Sect, but these many ordinary people also climbed the mountain, what were they doing? Without cultivation, he couldn't even enter the door of the Fuyao Sect, which Xu Huaigu had never seen in other immortal sects.

However, Xu Huaigu didn't want to ask, and the few people continued to walk forward. After entering the woods at the foot of the mountain, a white marble step was revealed in the woods, and from a distance, the steps went all the way up, and the end of the stairs was straight into the clouds, like a cloud from the clouds

The snow-white ribbon hanging down in the middle looks holy and beautiful.

Chu Wenze pointed to the white marble steps and said with a smile, "Does Brother Yu know the origin of this step?"

Xu Huaigu shook his head and said, "I first came to the Fuyao Sect, and I haven't heard of this before, no

Yes."

Chu Wenze said: "It is said that this white marble step is the only way to enter the Fuyao Sect, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, a total of 1,542 steps. It is said that the ancestor who founded the Fuyao Sect back then, when he ascended, he faced the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder, and a total of 1,542 swords were issued before he broke through the canopy of heaven and ascended to become an immortal. So later generations built such a staircase, and this number means to ascend to the top."

He smiled and pointed to the people around him, and said, "These are all here to visit this white jade step, and after reaching the top, there is the world-famous plaque, which is engraved by an ancient sword immortal, "World Swordsmanship, Heavenly Swordsmanship". Although they are not monks, they also want to see the sword immortal, so this place is about to become a tourist attraction. It's just that it's not in the Fuyao Sect yet, and if you want to really enter the Fuyao Sect, you need another certificate. Before, I thought that Brother Yu you were just coming to see the steps and plaques, but since you know people in the Fuyao Sect, it must be easy to get in."

Xu Huaigu suddenly realized, it turned out that this was the case, then most of these mountaineers are estimated to be literati and their relatives, no wonder I saw many Confucian scholars and beautiful women before.

Chu Xiuyang saw that Xu Huaigu didn't know anything about the Fuyao Sect, and seemed to have finally found a reason to be superior to him, and rushed to say as if showing off: "These scholars are not useful, those more than a thousand steps, with their weak bodies, they can't walk in a day!" It's a waste of money!"

Xu Huaigu asked curiously, "What kind of money is wasted?"

Chu Xiuyang saw that Xu Huaigu was still asking her questions, and unconsciously thought that Xu Huaigu thought that he was a head shorter than her, so he suddenly lost his anger a little, pointed to the bottom of the steps and said, "See? At the bottom of the steps stood two disciples of the Fuyao Sect, specially collecting money, a small bead at a time! Otherwise, you think that people are so beautiful and a staircase, you can go up if you want to!"

Xu Huaigu couldn't help laughing out loud, and teased, "Fuyao Sect is short of money to this point? The money earned by the gods has been earned by the common people, so let's lose the money! I'll have to talk to them when I get back."

Chu Xiuyang raised his eyebrows and said triumphantly, "What do you know? Making money or secondary, if there is no restriction, you see that the climbers will not step on this step at that time? When the time comes, the good immortal sect will be ruined, so where will the immortal qi come from?"

Xu Huaigu secretly thought in his heart, "If the Fuyao Sect is afraid of a lot of people, wouldn't it be good to just seal this step? Why bother to collect money? It's just that it seems that there are hundreds of people climbing the mountain at the end of this day, and hundreds of small beads of sourceless water come into the account every day, and you can also net several colored beads a year. Besides, a small bead is not expensive, a hundred taels of silver, and a slightly richer family can take it out with a province, so it is also wonderful."

Xu Huaigu secretly wrote down this good idea to make money in his heart, and when the time came, he told Qingfeng Valley about it and asked them to follow suit. After all, what's so bad about the fairy money that comes for nothing, who can't get along with it, and can't get along with money?

Xu Huaigu was in a good mood, and continued to walk forward with the Chu brothers and sisters, and soon arrived at the bottom of the steps and saw two Fuyao Sect disciples standing. It's just that at this time, there were many people standing beside those two disciples, who seemed to be arguing fiercely about something.

Xu Huaigu sensed that something was wrong, and frowned slightly, Chu Wenze also felt strange, and said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look!"

A few people walked forward, and finally squeezed to the front in the crowd, only to hear that the two disciples of the Fuyao Sect were about to quarrel with the middle-aged women in front, Xu Huaigu couldn't help but feel surprised.

There was a woman

Viciously pointing at the two disciples, he said in a displeased tone, "Why didn't you let us in today when this staircase was so good before? It's not like I don't pay, so why don't you let me in!"

One of the disciples had a bitter face and apologized and said, "This lady, it's really not that I won't let you in. As you saw earlier, a guy came over and said this. It was a message from my senior brother to the elder, saying that there was an urgent matter today, and the steps and plaques were not open to the public. I'm a little disciple, and I can only listen to the above arrangement. Don't embarrass me, or will you come back tomorrow? Tomorrow it will be possible."

The woman did not give up, put her hands on her hips and gritted her teeth, and said, "What a good thing it is, I have walked so far to come here, just such a broken staircase and a broken plaque, and I need a hundred taels of silver, so you can think of it, and earn the black money of our poor people!" Even if you come tomorrow, you will stay for one more night, who will pay for the room and meal? Are you coming out! There is such a reason in the world!"

The woman was arrogant, and immediately got the echo of several middle-aged women around her, forcing the two disciples to be speechless for a while, and their faces were flushed and they didn't know how to answer.

When Xu Huaigu saw this trouble, he immediately dispelled the idea of making money in his heart. For the sake of a few colored beads in a year, it will ruin the purity of the sect and the hearts of the disciples, and it will be worth the loss. But he still felt funny in his heart, those two disciples were obviously monks, and those women couldn't beat one of them together, but now the two of them were forced to say nothing, and they had the upper hand.

Although he has cultivation, he is still a child in his teens and twenties, and compared with those women in his forties and fifties, he doesn't know how bad his face is.

So when the women saw that the two of them were showing weakness, they didn't plan to give the money at all, and rushed forward directly, thinking about breaking in.

Those two disciples are usually in the sect, and the senior brothers and elders are extremely reasonable people, where have they seen this battle? Suddenly, both of them were dumbfounded. Seeing that they were about to be broken through by a group of women, one of the disciples finally drew his sword in anger and stopped them.

The sonorous thud of the sword being drawn from its sheath immediately frightened the women to a halt. But this scene was only quiet for a moment, and the woman who had made the most noise before simply sat on the ground, howled, and said, "Oh, hey, it's amazing, it's amazing! The monks of the Fuyao Sect are going to kill someone! I, Wang Cuihua, have been bright and upright all my life, I have never done anything bad, I have never even picked wild fruits on the side of the road, I am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth! I didn't expect to be killed by you broken monks today! I'm not afraid of death, I have the ability to kill me, kill me!"

This commotion, the crowd around below was excited and scolded. When the two disciples saw this meeting, it was really an eye-opener, the sword in their hands was not out, nor was it received, and they were at a loss for a while.

After such a farce, Xu Huaigu and his party don't want to go up the mountain. However, Xu Huaigu didn't plan to get involved in this tattered pickled matter, he couldn't go up the mountain today, and he would go up tomorrow, but if he messed with those women with thicker skin than the city wall, he would be stuck with kraft candy, and he couldn't shake it off.

Xu Huaigu knows how to weigh it very well, but he knows how to endure it, but some people can't bear it.

I heard a sharp female voice in my ears explode like thunder, and reprimanded, "You are so unreasonable! People have the difficulties of their families, so why be aggressive? Don't be old!"

Xu Huaigu looked to his side, and sure enough, it was Chu Xiuyang who stood up and scolded with righteous indignation. I saw that Chu Wenze couldn't help but interject when he looked at his sister, and suddenly opened his mouth wide in shock, and he was so anxious that he was anxious.

This is good, everyone in the audience looked at Xu Huaigu's side.

Xu Huaigu looked at the eyes of those women, and felt as if he was being targeted by a group of leopards, and his heart was cold.

Xu Huaigu couldn't help but sigh, and secretly thought to himself, "Not only do you have to guard against enemies and villains, but you also have to fight with the old aunt, the rivers and lakes are really not easy to walk!"
