Chapter Ninety-Five: The Sword Sacrifice Pavilion
"What do the servants do?"
Su Mu asked.
"This is too broad, generally speaking, you can do whatever you ask them to do, mainly, this is still a kind of care for the spiritual disciples of the Deacon Temple, after all, they are not obligated to come, and it still means to earn spirit stones. ”
"How many servants do I have here?"
Su Mu thought, no matter how many people come, just send some spirit stones away.
"Ten. ”
"Why are there so many?"
"It's a bit much, and if the junior brother is too much of an eyesore, he can dismiss a few. ”
After Chu Muhong left, Su Mu walked straight into the house, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw ten girls standing in the courtyard in a row, smiling between Gu Pan.
Then Su Mu saw that the disciple of the side courtyard that Chu Muhong said turned out to be Chen Qiaoqin.
What surprised him even more was that this girl was already in the early stage of sword maniac, and it was ridiculous that she was willing to be a slave when she was cultivating hard at such an age.
Chen Qiaoqin had a good temperament, and when she heard Su Mu and Chu Muhong talking outside, she took these girls to wait in the courtyard, she bit her lips lightly, her face flushed, and she bowed shyly and said:
"Senior Brother Su, you're back. ”
"Senior Sister Chen still recognizes me, right?
Su Mu looked at her shyness, obviously remembering herself, and this title couldn't help but be a little awkward.
"Senior brother is already a spiritual cultivator, and we are different from the mud, all doors are this rule, even if you start for a year, as long as it is spiritual, others will call you senior brother when they see it. ”
Su Mu nodded and said, "Okay, it doesn't matter what you call it." Since you're all here, I'll be blunt, I don't really need a servant, so let's go. ”
Chen Qiaoqin looked up in amazement and said, "Why? ”
"I can't think of any need for a servant, how many spirit stones does the deacon's palace promise you? ”
Two girls immediately expressed their willingness to leave.
The other seven looked at Chen Qiaoqin, and like her, they all had some personal feelings in them, not just for the reward.
Chen Qiaoqin was silent for a moment, and said to them very simply: "You all go, I'll stay by myself." ”
"We want to stay too. ”
A girl with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes was faintly dissatisfied with Chen Qiaoqin's arrangement.
"No, if you don't leave, I'm going to drive people out. ”
Chen Qiaoqin's face sank, and he was still a little dignified in the face of them.
"Senior Sister Chen......"
"Senior brother, I don't need to say much, I won't leave. ”
Chen Qiaoqin knew what Su Mu was going to say, and immediately interrupted him.
So, they left, and she stayed.
After closing the courtyard door, she took Su Mu to take a look in the courtyard.
Coming to the backyard, an open garden is presented in the eye, it is connected with the mountain behind, and there is a pool of living water, the source is a few clear springs falling from the mountain, lining the courtyard to hide incense, flying water and flowers.
"That's Mochizuki Pavilion, that's the Quiet Corridor...... You can climb the mountain from the clear spring, and there is a cave more than ten meters away, which can be used for retreat and cultivation......"
She seems to have lived here for a long time, and she looks like a qualified housekeeper.
Su Mu glanced at it a few times, only to feel that it was too big, it was indeed empty to live alone, and he couldn't help wasting this carefully carved scenery, and he didn't drive those girls away if he knew this.
"Where is Senior Brother from?"
She introduced it, and saw that Su Mu was listening quietly, and he followed wherever she went, not ignoring her coldly, so she began to feel more comfortable and spoke much more easily.
"I don't know, Master doesn't tell me, he always says that I grew from a tree. ”
Su Mu stood by the lake, looked at his reflection, and said with some sadness.
Chen Qiaoqin giggled, but seeing that he looked lonely and conscious of his gaffe, his white fingers hurriedly covered his lips, and he also understood a little in his heart, it was normal for the rivers and lakes to kill, maybe his master didn't want him to know that he was sad about his sad life......
"Then you grew up with Master since you were a child?"
"Well, like a master and a father. ”
"Then you must go back to see him often, right?"
"It's been more than three years, and I haven't been back once. ”
"Oh, then he must miss you. ”
She nodded and said seriously.
"I also miss Master, and after the Sun Ranking Competition, I went back to visit him. ”
"Shall I go with my brother?"
"No, I don't. ”
Chen Qiaoqin glanced at him secretly, and there was a hint of obvious loss in his crystal eyes.
"Senior brother, there are two rabbits over there, I'll take you to see them. ”
She didn't want the atmosphere to be silent, and smiled cheerfully.
Where did Su Mu have the heart to look at the rabbit, and said, "Who used to belong to this yard?"
Chen Qiaoqin had already inquired from the deacon hall, and hurriedly said: "It was built for Master Kong Ming of Pudu Temple, and ten years ago, Wuyang Palace and Pudu Temple officially became friendly, and it was agreed that outside the convention area, if one party is in trouble, the other party must help." In that year, several senior monks of Pudu Temple came, and Master Kong Ming lived here for a while. ”
Built for Buddhism, but there is no trace of Zen, these scenery is naturally pleasing in the eyes of the laity, Buddhist monks are not close to material desires, do you have the heart to appreciate?
As soon as he thought of this, Su Mu didn't want to wander around here, and said: "You don't have to surrender your identity, I don't treat you as a servant, you just treat it as your own home, practice at will, and I won't interfere in anything." ”
"Where are you going?"
Seeing that he was leaving, she lifted the dress embroidered with white florals and chased after him.
"Sacrificial Sword Pavilion. ”
She was a little lost, and there was no reason to go with her, the Sword Sacrifice Pavilion was not something she could go to with her status.
Su Mu sacrificed the dream jade, and the sword crossed the mountain, and sure enough, he saw a treasure pavilion located among the mountains.
The treasure pavilion is only three stories high, but each floor is ten zhang high, and the huge cornices pierce the sky, and the wonderful thing is that the windows on each floor are made of transparent crystals, and these windows are so high and large that you can see the situation inside from a distance. The third floor has the least number of people, only one or two people, the second floor is better, there are not many people, and the bookshelves on the first floor are full of people walking around.
He landed in front of the door, and before he could enter, a sword-mad disciple wearing the costume of the deacon's hall walked up and said, "Senior brother, is this the first time you have come?"
"Are there any rules?" Su Mu was stopped by him and couldn't help asking.
The disciple of the deacon hall smiled and said, "Yes, the books inside can only be read, not taken away. Also, the senior brother can only be on the first floor. ”
"What's that saying?"
The disciples of the Deacon Hall smiled a little and said: "There is naturally a saying, this is the rule of the Deacon Hall, the second floor is only open to the top 50 on the Sun List, and the first floor is only allowed to enter the top ten. ”
Su Mu originally wanted to go to the third floor for a stroll, but he didn't expect this kind of restriction.
"Senior brother, do you want a lecturer?"
"The instructor who introduced the exercises?"
"Yes, the Sword Sacrifice Pavilion has a vast collection of books, and all kinds of exercises are strange, if you want to find a suitable spell, it is best to ask a lecturer. ”
"Then please. ”
Su Mu said lightly.
"Ten thousand spirit stones. ”
The smile on the face of the deacon's hall disciple was a little thicker again.
