Looking at the master in front of him, Li Huowang held the sword in one hand and saluted her very carefully.
"Thank you, Master, for giving me the sword! As long as I live forever, I will repay you with a spring of water!"
Li Huowang is not good at words. He pays more attention to how to do it than how to say it.
He knows very well who is good to him and who is bad to him.
Upon hearing this, Master Jingxin suddenly sounded dissatisfied.
"Who said it was given to you? It's for sale. Don't even think about defaulting on the debt. Thirty thousand taels comes with interest, and you can't lose a penny. You have to pay back these."
"I know you won't be able to come up with money for a while, so let's do this. Every time you are rich in the future, you can ask the inn to send you some. A thousand taels of gold is not too much, and half a pound of copper is not too little for me.
”
"Okay, okay, we've finished talking. You can go. I won't keep you to eat. I guess you can't get used to the vegetarian food in the nunnery. Remember to bring more snacks next time you come back." p>
After saying that, Master Jingxin moved her fat body, turned around and moved towards the house.
Seeing this scene, Li Huowang quickly stepped forward to stop him. He had other questions.
"Wait, Master, I still have some trivial questions to ask."
"Oh, you are such a tough kid. Hurry up and tell me, I'm going to take a nap after I'm full." Master Jingxin seemed a little impatient.
Standing on the spot, Li Huowang considered for a few seconds and then asked: "Master, I'm new to the world, and I don't know much about all the forces in the world. Can you tell me something about their taboos and depth?"
"Is there anything I should not tell you?" The teacher scratched her belly impatiently.
"You are so sincere. How can you deal with people from other factions? Just run away."
"That's it?" Li Huowang was obviously very surprised.
"Of course, that's it. Is it possible that you can go over and have a chat with them? Didn't you suffer a loss at Zhengde Temple?"
"You are a xinsu, so in the eyes of others, you are no different from a ginseng spirit holding a red string. It doesn't matter who he teaches or who he is. If you can beat him, then fight him. If he can't, then run away."
"Don't even think about joining them. No sect has ever accepted a confused Xinsu as a disciple, not even Anci'an. If someone says that, they must be plotting something against you."
Master Jingxin’s words gave Li Huowang a heads-up.
"Besides you, is there really no one else you can trust?"
"No, who is willing to help you for no reason?" The three layers of fat on Master Tai's chin swayed left and right as she shook her head.
Although he had known it for a long time, Li Huowang still felt very depressed when he learned the news from Jingxin.
I’m afraid the journey ahead will not be smooth.
After Li Huowang carefully digested this information, he raised a question he had accumulated along the way.
"Master, can you tell me something about Anci'an's cultivation methods? How did you obtain supernatural powers?"
For so many days, apart from knowing that the Nestorian religion sacrificed to Bahui, he was completely confused as to why some people in this world could obtain magical powers.
"Ha~" Master Tai said, "You ask what's the use of this? I tell you that you can't practice cultivation either. Didn't you see that Anci Nunnery is full of nuns?"
"No problem, please clarify."
"Oh, it's not that I won't tell you, but that kind of exercise cannot be read with the mouth. It must be written in female script. After all, you are a man..."
Having said this, Li Huowang didn't want to embarrass the other party.
"Thank you, Master, for your guidance. We'll see you later." After Li Huowang saluted again, he turned and walked towards the door.
Just as he lowered his head and held the long sword in both hands and looked at it carefully, Master Tai's words suddenly sounded behind him.
"Wait a minute. When you interrupted me just now, I almost forgot. I just remembered that there are a group of people that you really need to pay special attention to."
These words immediately made Li Huowang prick up his ears, and he quickly turned around and said, "I would like to hear the details."
"Remember, those people are called Zuowangdao."
"Zi Wangdao?" Li Huowang frowned subconsciously. He always felt that he had heard these three words before.
But when he thought about it carefully, he found that he had no memory of Zuowangdao.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, why are you kid so distracted? If you don't want to listen, then I won't talk anymore."
"Master Tai, please clarify my doubts, why do you mention them specifically? Is it possible that these people who sit and forget the Tao are not hostile to Xinsu?"
"No."
"Whether others are robbing you or killing you, they all do things for a reason, but sitting and forgetting is completely different."
"These guys are a bunch of liars who like to make money."
"Huh?" Li Huowang was a little confused at the moment.
"Zuowangdao is not a bandit who dominates the mountain, nor is it a cultivating sect. No one knows what those people are. The only thing that is certain is that they like to play, and there are no taboos in order to play."
"Aside from playing money, these scammers like to play people the most."
"For example, they once pretended to be the emperor's eunuchs and tricked a whole city of men into castrating themselves. They did this just to have fun and feel bored."
After the master's wife said this, Li Huowang still didn't understand what the other party meant.
He asked with a hint of hesitation in his voice: "A bunch of gamblers who like to cheat people? But...does this have anything to do with me?"
There are so many forces that covet me that I don’t want to talk about, so why does Master Tai just talk to me about this without any reason?
"Oh, have you forgotten that you can't tell the difference between true and false? If they encounter you now, what will they do?"
"As long as they know you are a xinsu, things will not be that simple."
"As it is, why was I deceived by a bunch of mortal gamblers trying to make money? Why is Master so nervous?"
The master closed his eyes and shook his head. "They are not just a bunch of gamblers. I don't know where they got some of their magical powers. They are very weird and difficult to deal with."
"Besides, their best trick is so powerful that it can even fool me."
"Last time, there was a guy who was sitting in the Forbidden City and sneaked into Anci Temple. He wanted to trick us into breaking the precepts. Fortunately, we discovered him. He finally found his way back and converted to Buddhism."
"You remember, the people in Zuowangdao are not afraid of death. You must be stuck by them, otherwise you will get more and more stuck."
"They even dare to lie to you?"
"Hmm~! Not only did they dare to lie to me, they even wanted to lie to God! I heard that a hundred years ago, a group of people who sat on the road to forget the truth, spent more than thirty years thinking about it, and actually fooled the God of Joy."
"The God of Joy? The God of Joy in the Hu Family Ancestral Hall??" Li Huowang's pupils shrank slightly.
"No, that's the God of Joy, I'm talking about the God of 囍." The master used his black fingernails to scratch and pull on the fat on his body.
