Chapter 10 Apprenticeship Fee

"In this case, the layman pays a hundred taels of apprenticeship fees first, and the poor Taoist sees that the layman's roots and bones are wonderful, and his yang energy is vigorous, so he is definitely a good material for cultivating Taoists."

"As long as you worship me as a teacher, you can become a disciple of Qingxuguan, learn the Zhenguan Taoist method of Qingxuguan-"Five Thunder Righteous Law", and over time, it will be no problem to kill demons and eliminate demons." The head of the mountain and sea Dao said with a smile on his face, where is there still the previous immortal wind dao bone, more like a complete liar.

"The price of the poor road is fair, and there is absolutely no bullying for children!"

"If there is no problem with Monk Jiang Chen, hurry up and pay the money, so that the poor Dao can accept you as an apprentice."

The change of Shanhaidao in an instant, Jiang Chen couldn't accept it.

"One hundred taels of silver, Dao Chief, you are not a vampire!" One hundred taels let alone one hundred taels, even if it was thirty taels of silver, he couldn't take it out.

"This old Taoist priest has some ability, but he doesn't seem to have much."

"Dao Chief, you are a master outside the world, how can you value money like a worldly person, money is the root of all evil, what do you want so much money for!" Jiang Chen looked at the old Taoist priest with a look of wealth and a helpless expression.

"I know you have the ability, but suddenly asked me to pay a hundred taels of silver, and the kid really can't take it out." Jiang Chen only had more than twenty taels of silver on his body, even if he had one hundred taels of silver, he didn't dare to hand it over to the old Taoist priest without reservation at this moment.

"Layman, this is a bad statement, people in the rivers and lakes, silver is the most important, you must know, silver is not omnipotent, but without silver it is absolutely impossible."

"You must know that the cost of repairing the Taoist temple alone every year is no less than five hundred taels of silver, not to mention the production of magic weapons, spirit runes, and formations to punish evil spirits, all of which require a huge amount of silver."

"The poor Tao is not a monk, naturally regards money as dung, and in my view, people walking in the world are naturally unavoidable."

"One hundred taels of silver is really not expensive, just think about it, the value of the "Five Thunder Rectification Law" alone is not less than ten thousand gold, not to mention that as long as you become my apprentice, you will be a personal disciple of Qingxuguan, and your status is extremely high, what a glory it is!"

"Poor Dao also depends on the fate of the layman and me, so I sincerely invite him, and if it is someone else, Poor Dao will not say anything."

"Anyway, the layman doesn't have a hundred taels of silver on him at the moment, which means that the relationship between us and master and apprentice has not yet arrived." The chief of Shanhai sighed slightly, and there was some pity in his eyes.

"It's just that I pity you for this bone, Poor Dao suggests that the layman should not run around if he is fine, the yang energy in your body is strong, and sooner or later you will encounter demons, so be careful in everything." Seeing that Jiang Chen had no money, the old Taoist priest shook his head and turned around decisively to leave.

Jiang Chen looked at the figure of the old Taoist priest and was stunned for a while.

This old Taoist priest is so shameless, he even needs a hundred taels of apprenticeship fees, and he is a little skeptical that this old Taoist priest is playing tricks.

It seems that there will be scams everywhere, but there is no difference between anti-scam apps in this world.

First, the little Taoist priest said that he could be his guide if he gave ten taels, and asked the old Taoist priest to accept him as an apprentice, and now the old Taoist priest said that he would ask for a hundred taels of apprenticeship fees, and these two masters and apprentices are really a virtue.

"But in case what the old Taoist priest said is true, if the Five Thunder Righteous Law really exists." Jiang Chen was interested in the "Five Thunder Rectification Method" in the mouth of the Taoist priest, but judging from the current situation, most of it was fake.

"It doesn't matter, ordinary people's martial arts are useless against demons, but I'm different, as long as I have enough attribute points, I will definitely break through the limits of ordinary people, hurt and even kill demons!" Jiang Chen is full of confidence in himself.

"Taking a step back, even if what the old Taoist priest of Shanhai said is true, then he can only solve this matter first, and then earn enough one hundred taels of silver to apprentice." Jiang Chen put away his thoughts.

began to continue to investigate what happened to Zhang Yuanwai's family recently, he first asked other maids and people, and also got a lot of useful information.

"Mrs. Zhang originally fasted, but a month before she died, the amount of food increased greatly, and she also opened a meat ring."

"In the middle of the night, many people often hear the creepy chewing sound from Mrs. Zhang's room."

"Mrs. Zhang's usual gentle personality began to become irritable, and she didn't like the sun's rays even more, so she ordered her subordinates to cover all the light in the house with a black cloth."

"All this unusualness points to Mrs. Zhang, and this matter definitely has nothing to do with her." Jiang Chen is sure that the unusual things that have happened in Zhang Yuanwai's family recently are definitely inextricably linked to the dead Mrs. Zhang.

As long as the coffin is opened and checked, the truth can be known, but judging from Zhang Yuanwai's attitude before, he will never allow such a disrespectful behavior as opening the coffin.

"In that case, I can only sneak a peek late at night." Jiang Chen planned to sneak into the hall tonight while others were not paying attention, intending to open the coffin to verify his guess.

If it is really Mrs. Zhang's problem, it is better to destroy Mrs. Zhang's body in time.

Jiang Chen hurriedly returned to the room, sat down on the wooden bed and squinted to rest, he was ready to go and find out when no one was there in the middle of the night. ’

“……”

The night is blurry, the stars are dotted, and from a distance, Zhang Yuanwai's house is brightly lit, as if he is in a hazy picture, and there is a feeling of unreality.

At this time, Zhang Yuanwai's house, the living room was crowded with maids, and there were sturdy and sword-wielding guards around him.

Zhang Yuanwai sat on the main seat, his face was solemn, and he took a sip of the dragon well.

This kind of tea is extremely expensive, a small tael costs ten taels of silver, ordinary people can't afford to drink it in their lifetime, and only large families can afford to drink it.

The entrance of Longjing is fragrant, and the fragrance of tea is overflowing, but at this time, Zhang Yuanwai's face is full of sadness, and he doesn't have half the heart to taste tea.

"Master, tonight, there is a patrol of the Yamen and a Taoist master of Qingxuguan here, there will definitely be nothing wrong, you can go and rest first." Steward Li looked at Zhang Yuanwai, who was haggard, and couldn't help but speak.

Zhang Yuanwai sighed, he shook his head, his face became more and more haggard, he hadn't slept well for several days because of this matter.

"I have a sense of foreboding, and I hope things can be resolved tonight."

"How could such a strange thing happen recently, in another day, it will be time for the old lady to be buried, I hope everything goes well." Zhang Yuan was sipping hot tea outside, looking outside the house, his eyes showed determination, and he stood up and spoke loudly.

"Cheer me up and report what I find in time,"

"Li Ping, send me ten people to guard the lobby at all times, at this time, I don't want an accident on the day of the old lady's burial."

"If there's anything wrong tonight, you're the only one to ask." Zhang Yuanwai spoke sharply.

Li Ping hurriedly bent down and respectfully said yes, and the other subordinates all took action one after another, and for a while, Zhang Yuanwai's house became lively.
