"Okay, you're hungry by now that you've come down the mountain in the morning, let's go get something to eat. Li Ge nodded, and then followed Lingxi to turn left and right on the street. It didn't take long for the two of them to come to the door of a restaurant with an extremely elegant façade.

On the door of this elegant restaurant hangs a gold-lacquered shop sign with the words 'Koi Restaurant' engraved on it. Through the door, you can see that there are many diners sitting in this restaurant.

"When I arrived at Uncle Li, this koi restaurant was the best place in Lu Mingcheng's Chinese cuisine. Walking to the gate, Lingxi smiled and looked at Li Ge and whispered.

"Okay, let's go in and get some food. Li nodded in response, and then followed Lingxi into this koi restaurant.

At this time, although it was still a little early before the meal, the restaurant was full of people. After the earnest guys in the building saw Li Ge and the others, they greeted them warmly.

"Two guest officers, the shop is now full, if you two want to eat, you can only go to the private room upstairs. The shopkeeper said to the two with a smile.

"Okay~ Since there is still a private room, then you can lead the way. Lingxi replied when he heard this, and then the two of them followed the shopkeeper to the private room on the second floor.

This private room is not large, but the decoration and furnishings inside it are extremely elegant.

I saw that in this private room, there was a round table covered with yellow cloth, and around the round table, there were several wooden chairs carved with strange patterns. And on the walls of this private room, there are also several paintings of landscapes.

"You may be seated. After leading the two into the private room, the shopkeeper beckoned the two to sit down, and then took out a black stone as long as a middle finger and a piece of white straw paper from a cloth bag beside him.

After taking out the black stone and the white papyrus, Xiao Er put these two things on the table, and then said, "Please order." ”

"Uncle Li, look at the dishes on this menu, you can order whatever you want. After Xiao Er put the menu on the table, Lingxi pushed it in front of Li Ge.

"We don't know what to eat there is different from yours, so you should have some of it. Li Ge glanced at the menu, smiled slightly, and then handed it to Lingxi.

"Alright then, I'll do it. Lingxi nodded, then picked up the black stone and drew a few times on the menu. Then, the shopkeeper put away the black stone and went out with the menu.

After the shopkeeper went out, Li Ge got up and walked to the wall to look at the picture scroll hanging on the wall. Lingxi, on the other hand, sat at the table with a cup of tea in her hand.

"By the way, Lingxi, after eating in a while, you can take me to buy some clothes, shoes and hats and other things. After casually glancing at the scrolls on the wall, Lige turned around and sat down at the round table.

"Okay, we'll buy it when we're done. Lingxi smiled and nodded.

Hearing Lingxi's reply, Li Ge also smiled back. But the smile only lasted for a short time, and as if he had thought of something, the expression on his face turned into an embarrassed color.

Noticing the sudden change in the expression on Li Ge's face, Ling Xi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you, Uncle Li?"

"I ......" Li Ge spat out a word, then got up and walked to the window of the private room and thought about it, and said with a hint of embarrassment, "I don't have any money, I may ask you to pay for me when I buy something." ”

"I have money, Uncle Li doesn't need to be embarrassed, I'll help you pay for it later. Hearing Li Ge's words, Lingxi smiled lightly, "Sit down and have a cup of tea, the rice and tea should be coming." ”

"Oh, good. Putting away the embarrassment on his face, Li Ge turned around and sat down at the round table again, and said softly, "I have just entered Penglai, and I don't know all about the currency here. ”

"What is Uncle Li talking about, money is something outside the body, and if you use it, you will use it, so why do you need to borrow it?" Lingxi saw Li Ge sitting back at the table, and immediately picked up the teapot on the table and poured him a cup of tea, and then said, "I can get some storage fees every month in Yangling Mountain, although it is not much, but there is no opportunity to use money in the mountain for Qing Xiu, and over time, I can buy a house with the money I have now." ”

"Ah~" Hearing Lingxi's words, a trace of curiosity rose in Li Ge's heart, and he couldn't help asking, "Can Yangling Mountain still receive a property fee every month?"

"yes, everybody. You are our uncle and uncle, and the monthly purchase fee is much higher. Lingxi explained what Li Ge was curious about.

"Everyone has a monthly purchase fee?" After listening to Lingxi's words, Li Ge couldn't help but have a glimmer of doubt in his heart.

Yangling Mountain is a sect hidden in the deep mountains, and it stands to reason that it should have little contact with the outside world, so how did the money on the mountain come from? Each of the cultivators on Yangling Mountain can receive a property fee every month, although the number of people is not large, but the amount accumulated over time is also an extremely large amount.

Thinking of these doubts in his heart, when Li Ge was about to ask, Lingxi seemed to see his doubts and opened his mouth to explain.

"In fact, the purchase fee issued on the mountain was issued by the imperial court. ”

"Why did the imperial court give Yangling Mountain money?" After listening to Lingxi's words, Li Ge was even more puzzled.

"Not only for Yangling Mountain, but also for the top ten cultivators in our Zhou Kingdom, every cultivator can receive a purchase fee every month. Lingxi glanced at Li Ge, and then said, "Although Zhou Guo seems to be peaceful, there are many demons and monsters hidden in it. The imperial court distributed the placement fee to the cultivators, and it was also hoped that we, the cultivators, could suppress the demons and punish the evil spirits and maintain the peace. ”

"I see. Hearing Lingxi's explanation, Li Ge nodded in realization.

"Uncle Li, you haven't seen Master Lu Yao and Uncle Futian on the mountain. Ling Xi suddenly changed her conversation and talked about the two senior brothers of the same generation that Li Ge had never met.

"Yes, it's been more than a month since I went up the mountain, and I really haven't seen those two senior brothers yet. Li Ge replied, and then asked puzzledly, "Senior Brother Jianneng said that those two senior brothers went out to travel." ”

"Well, Lu Yao and Fu Tian did go down the mountain to travel, but the main reason was to maintain Qingping. Having said this, Lingxi continued, "In the nine veins of our Yangling Mountain, every six months, there will be two uncles and uncles who alternately travel down the mountain, maybe in a few months, Uncle Li, you will also go down the mountain to travel." ”

"Is that so?" Hearing Lingxi's words, Li Ge lowered his head and thought about it.

Traveling down the mountain is not a bad thing, Master said before that if you want to practice the Tao of asceticism, you must first go through the red dust to refine your mind, and only when you have seen all the things in the world, the good and evil in the world, can your state of mind be sublimated to the state of escape. At that time, the love, hatred, affection, and hatred in the heart can all be looked down on, and only in this way can we live in one place without asking about the world.
