Volume 3: Jedi Life Chapter 115, serving as a guest secretary

Hearing this, Yi Xuan gave Xiao Er another spirit stone, and thought to himself: I have just arrived, and I have no identity, if I want to make a difference in Xuantianchuan, I must have an identity. Since this island owner calls himself a real person, most of them are just building the foundation and cultivating it, and he has fought several times with the foundation building monk, and he has no sense of awe, and he is not afraid of what tricks he will play.

After asking Xiao Er about the location of the island owner's cave mansion, Yi Xuan walked slowly along the market. The farther away from the wharf, the taller and more exquisite the buildings on both sides of the street, after walking for about a mile, what appeared in front of Yi Xuan were all small single-family buildings, pavilions and pavilions in front of the door were even gorgeous, and the owners who lived here were either rich or noble or people in power on this island. When Yi Xuan came to the center of the island, he was greeted by a beautiful five-story building, compared to which the most atmospheric hall in the Jade Academy was a rural earthen house.

Seeing Yi Xuan stop and look, one of the two guards standing in front of the mansion spoke out to drive away: "Where did Ye Xiu come from, this is the residence of the island owner, don't wait for a peep, leave quickly, otherwise you will be caught and questioned!"

Yi Xuan saw that the two guards were only cultivating at the third or fourth level of qi, but they were relying on the sovereignty of the island to be here, but they had to bow their heads under the eaves and greet each other with a smile: "This brother, in Xia Yi Xuan, came to seek refuge in the island owner, and wanted to seek a position under the name of the adult, I don't know if I can spread the word?"

The guard who spoke before put away his fierce face and asked a little politely: "This Yi Daoyou, I don't know where he is, why did he come to the Island Lord's Mansion to apply for a job?"

Yi Xuan blurted out the words he had calculated in advance: "In Xiaqiu Lang Island, the people of Xiaqiu Lang Island, after going to sea with a merchant ship, encountered wind and waves, and fell on a nameless island. Seeing that the mountain island is rich in products and the folk customs are simple, I want to live here for a long time, and I want to come to the island owner's house to find a job, and I hope that my brother will say a few beautiful words for him. ”

Seeing Yi Xuan's simple answer, the two guards immediately left one behind, and the other ran into the mansion to spread the word for Yi Xuan, and after a while, a middle-aged man dressed as a master walked out, and asked Yi Xuan, "Is that you want to join the island owner's mansion?"

Although Yi Xuan didn't like to be angry, he still replied respectfully: "It's exactly below!

The guard next to him became anxious when he heard this, and said, "What fellow Daoist, this is the senior of Zuo Qiuzi, the great housekeeper of the Island Lord's Mansion!"

Zuo Qiuzi didn't answer, looked up at the sky, and waited for Yi Xuan to make amends. Helpless, Yi Xuan had no choice but to bow and salute: "Big butler, I just arrived here and don't understand the rules, please forgive me!"

"It's easy to say, it's not that the old man is narrow-minded, but to manage all the things in the lord's mansion, the most important thing is to have a clear hierarchy, and only then do you know how to advance and retreat humbly. Since you have the heart to serve the island master, come in with me!" Zuo Qiuzi turned around and went first, Yi Xuan thanked the two guards, and followed into the mansion.

Zuo Qiuzi took Yi Xuan around a garden path, came to a house in the backyard and stopped, turned to Yi Xuan and said, "The owner of the island is kind-hearted and extremely tolerant of his subordinate monks, but we as subordinates must know to be loyal and honest, understand?"

Yi Xuan thought to himself that I was just here to get an errand, and I didn't sell myself to you, as for preaching these truths, but he still nodded and said: "What the big butler said is extremely true, keep in mind below!"

Zuo Qiuzi continued: "The monks in the island lord's mansion are divided into three categories, one of them serves under me, called deacons, who are mainly responsible for the management of the affairs of the mansion and external contacts; the other part is an errand under the great protector, called the protector, who patrols the waters near Shanxi Island all the year round, protects passing ships, and fights with sea beasts, which is extremely dangerous; the last type is the guest secretary, who belongs to the idle people attached to the island owner's mansion, and can freely take the tasks issued by the island owner, which seems to be free but is not valued by the island owner at all. I don't know which of these three types of positions do you prefer?"

Yi Xuan listened to the introduction of the chief housekeeper, obviously trying to win himself over to his disciples, but he really didn't like him as a person, and he was afraid that he would be used as cannon fodder if he stood in the wrong team, so he decided to be a guest first to see the situation, and immediately said: "Yi Xuan is very grateful for the introduction of the big housekeeper." But on the new island, I want to see the customs and customs around here first, so as not to delay the important task of the big housekeeper, it is better to be a guest first, and then make plans when I settle down. I wonder what the big butler thinks?"

Zuo Qiuzi's face changed when he heard this, and he snorted coldly: "Whatever you want! However, this guest from Shanxi Island is not something that anyone can do! Hmph!" After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Yi Xuan was at a loss on the spot, and at this moment, the room on the side squeaked, revealing a human head and beckoning to him. Seeing this, Yi Xuan stepped forward, and before he could speak, the man asked, "You are a new monk, aren't you? You have offended the chief butler, and you will have a sad life in the future! However, you kid is also smart, and you didn't agree easily, otherwise you would get involved in the battle between the chief butler and the great protector, and I don't know what will happen." Come in with me, I'll register you and issue you an identity talisman!"

It turned out that this person's name was Che Ping, who was a partner of the island owner Huaiyuan Zhenren in the early days of Qi training, and came to Shanxi Island with him, and found a spare job to let Che Ping spend his days in the house, and has been in charge of the registration of new monks in the house. Seeing that Yi Xuan was not being co-opted, he had a slight impression and specially came out to explain.

After completing the formalities, Che Ping instructed Yi Xuan again: "The position of Keqing is usually not an errand in the house, but there is no money to receive, and he relies on himself to hunt sea beasts or complete the island owner's tasks every month for a living." If there are no special circumstances, do not wander around the house, so as not to be taken advantage of by the big housekeeper. However, in the event of a major crisis, the owner of the island has the right to convene all the monks on the island to deal with it, and the guest secretary must not refuse. ”

Yi Xuan held the Keqing jade talisman in his hand, and walked out of the island owner's mansion with a heavy heart, thinking that there were only more than three hundred spirit stones left around him, and the top priority was to earn the spirit stones first, as for taking the task or something, he would have to wait until he understood the situation a lot.

Randomly found an inn to live in the market, Yi Xuan called the shopkeeper again to ask for news.

"Little second brother, where do the monks on this island usually go to trade spiritual objects?"

No matter what kind of shop, this shopkeeper is a jack of all trades, and he will come as soon as he opens his mouth: "This guest officer, this is the first time you have come to our Shanxi Island! Although this island is not big, it is also a little famous in the nearby waters, and there are countless merchants who come and go. The island has both chain stores of major merchants and scattered markets, all on the western boundary of the island. It is said that there are all kinds of sea beast demon pills, precious spirit grasses, and magic weapon pills, as long as you have enough spirit stones, you can buy anything!"
