Dawn in Fairy Mountain Chapter 2: The Little Demon Rents a House
Twilight.
On the official road beside the woods three miles outside Tingyang County, under the fading skylight, Su Mu made sure there was no one around and tapped his sleeves.
A woolly monkey rolled out.
This hairy monkey is less than two feet tall and has gray hair all over its head except for its head, which looks like it has been specially shaved.
At this moment, there was no black energy surrounding him, and he even bowed to Su Mu politely, "Thank you so much for saving my life."
"Records of Monsters" records that there is a monster with hair all over its body, like a macaque, with a ridge on its head but no hair, a gentle nature, and it is called Monk Hai.
Sea monks live in the sea, can walk freely in the sea, and can bow to people when they see them. If ordinary people catch them and eat them, they can go without food for a year. Monks eating them will be of great benefit.
This is why Su Mu released him only after confirming that no one was around.
As for what he told Lin Yuanwai before, that this monster eats human brains, it is actually another kind of monster called Shan Monk.
"I caught you, why do you thank me?" This was what Su Mu didn't understand.
The little hairy monkey saluted him again and said: "Although the Taoist Master caught me, the strange black energy in my body was actually suppressed in the Taoist Master's sleeves, and now I don't feel any pain at all."
He jumped up and down on the spot, very happy.
Su Mu looked at the little monkey. He was too lazy to ask at first, but now he was interested, "According to Xiaodao, there are not many of you left because of your physical condition, so you live far away in the depths of the East China Sea. How did you, little monster, come to the mainland? And
Why did you kill the training skills in the county?"
Training is a court official who is responsible for dealing with local monsters and monsters.
"The little demon didn't kill them, they wanted to kill the little demon to improve their cultivation."
The little hairy monkey quickly explained: "They were worried that after Lin Yuanwai knew my identity, he would rob them and not tell the truth. But they were hurt by the black energy on the little demon and died. Originally, the little demon thought that the Taoist priest was the same as those people.
Well, later I found out that the Taoist priest was doing it to make more money."
"Little monk, there are some things that you can't say out loud,"
Su Mu's dark eyes seemed to be ignited with flames, "If Xiaodao hadn't thought you were dirty, he would have sold you."
The little hairy monkey was so frightened that he shivered, and suddenly he didn't know whether to express his request.
"Okay, you haven't answered why Xiaodao came to the mainland."
Monk Hai secretly took two steps back and said, "Somehow, a lot of black water suddenly appeared at the end of the East China Sea, and many big monsters died in it, so I escaped to the land."
"Originally, I wanted to find a lake to heal my wounds, but I was caught by a human monk. He was being chased by his enemies. He didn't have time to eat me, so he fled all the way here. I took advantage of him to fight with his enemies to escape and hid in the Lin Mansion."
"So that's it, I understand, you can go," Su Mu waved.
Monk Hai did not leave, his big eyes were eager and nervous at the same time.
With just one glance, Su Mu could tell what the little demon was thinking, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have nowhere to go, and you are greedy for the world in your sleeves."
"hey-hey,"
Monk Hai smiled awkwardly and politely, and explained: "Taoist Master, you are a good man. Besides, if I leave Taoist Master, I will die. I beg Taoist Master to be merciful and save me."
Su Mu knew that the little demon wanted to live in his magic weapon because of the Pure Spirit Bead.
This bead can not only speed up your practice, but more importantly, it can purify all kinds of impurities and relieve the negative effects on the body.
Previously, in order to resist the black energy on Monk Hai's body, he relied on the power of the Pure Spirit Pearl.
"Taoist Priest, just accept the little demon. Don't look down on me. I can cook rice and make tea, sweep the floor and fetch water, and give massages," the little hairy monkey begged with his fists clasped.
“I know quite a lot,”
Su Mu raised his eyebrows and said: "It's not impossible to let you live in, but little monk, there is no such thing as a pie in the sky. What is the procedure for renting a house for ordinary people, and what is the procedure for us, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Monk Hai became worried and asked in a low voice: "Can the little demon work to pay the rent?"
"Go away,"
Su Mu fluttered his sleeves and walked away, "A poor little monster, wasting time on the trail."
.....
The next day, early morning.
Shushan Sword Sect, one of the ten holy places for spiritual practice in the Zhou Dynasty.
Even though the Shushan Sword Sect has gradually declined in recent hundreds of years and was ranked ninth by Xilin, it is still extremely difficult to enter it.
It is said that there were more than 3,000 people who came to participate this time, and more than half of them failed the imperial examination. The remaining people finally made it to the foot of Shu Mountain, and hundreds of them died in the first round.
In the end, less than 400 people walked to the gate of Shushan Mountain to take the entrance examination. Today is the last day to hand in papers.
It's early spring, the morning breeze blows in our face, the peach blossoms at the foot of the mountain are releasing their fragrance wantonly, and a mountain road winds up, gradually submerged in the clouds and mist in the mountains.
People walking on the mountain road can be vaguely seen, but deep in the clouds and mist, one cannot see clearly.
"Taoist Priest, there are a total of thirteen people in the mist," said Monk Hai, who was following Su Mu.
Yesterday, Su Mu offered him a low rent of 100 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones a month. But the little demon had no money, so he followed him to negotiate the price and hoped to reduce the rent by showing off his abilities.
You know, I only received ten spiritual stones for helping Lin Yu catch him. Monk Hai felt that his rent was too expensive.
"Taoist Master, observing the clouds and gases in the sky and the earth is the little demon's special skill,"
Monk Hai poked his head out from behind and said confidently: "The little demon can also control the clouds and cover his aura. Most people can't tell the level of cultivation. Taoist priest, can you give the little demon a little reduction in rent?"
The little demon demonstrated his ability to conceal his aura and cultivation yesterday, and it was indeed pretty good.
Now that he discovered that this little guy actually had the ability to see clairvoyantly, Su Mu stopped and looked over, and said seriously: "Do you think Xiaodao cares about the money? This is Xiaodao's test for you. Now that you are so sincere, I will give you the rent.
How about folding it in half?"
However, Monk Hai still looked bitter.
Seeing him like this, Su Mu said seriously: "I charge you some money to deepen the relationship between you and the Taoist sect. Otherwise, how can the Taoist bring you into Shushan, one of the ten holy places?"
"But Xiaoyao only has thirty yuan on him," Monk Hai lowered his head and said.
"That's all,"
Su Mu seemed to be full of kindness, "I think you have a sincere heart, so I will charge you thirty yuan this month, and I will help you with the remaining twenty yuan."
"real?"
Monk Hai was immediately overjoyed, thinking that in order to deepen his relationship with the Taoist sect, the Taoist priest actually paid for it himself, so he was moved and said: "Taoist priest, you are so kind."
But the next moment, I heard Su Mu say: "Since you agreed, Xiaodao will now draw up a rental contract."
"Contract?" Little Hairy Monkey looked confused.
"It's a contract,"
soon.
Su Mu had a draft contract in his hand and read the terms to Xiaoyao, "Party A, that is, Xiaodao, has the right to decide when to rent or not. At any time, Party B, that is, you, little monk,
You need to accept Party A’s arrangements. If you don’t obey, Party A has the right to evict you by force and will not refund the rent.”
"If Party B wants to cancel the lease, he must obtain the consent of Party A, otherwise it will be deemed as a breach of contract and he will be required to pay ten times the liquidated damages. In addition, the rent will be paid on the fifteenth day of each month. If the rent is not paid overdue, three-cent interest will be added from the next month.
.”
"Okay, okay!"
After hearing this, the little hairy monkey didn't realize anything was wrong, and even said: "You are so kind, Taoist Master. You only get three points of profit if it is overdue. When the little demon borrowed money in the East China Sea, those guys asked for seventy or eight cents of profit."
Hearing this, Su Mu's brows couldn't help but jump, "Good guy, who...what kind of monster is so heartless. It seems that there is a long way to go to eliminate demons and defend the law."
