This monk is a bit mean

South of Chang'an City, Cangjian Villa.

This period of time was extremely lively. The entire villa was filled with people, all of them young men.

They came here with only one purpose, to obtain a sword from Cangjian Villa, and then return to Chang'an City to exchange it for an admission ticket to the Lin family's eldest daughter's martial arts competition to find a husband next month.

Before Yunshu came here, he thought that Cangjian Villa would keep its doors tightly shut and not let anyone in, so anyone who wanted to obtain the sword would have to rely on their own abilities.

However, when I arrived, I found that this was not the case at all.

The gate of Cangjian Villa was wide open, and the talented young men who came to get the sword even lined up outside the gate, and there was a special doorman at the door.

When it was Yunshu and Li Mao's turn, a butler dressed as a doorman said to them with a smile: "Welcome to my Cangjian Villa. I guess you two are here to get the sword for the martial arts competition?"

"Yes." Yunshu also replied with a smile.

"So do you want to choose a sword that is more difficult to use or a sword that is less difficult to use?" said the butler Men Ying while keeping a smile.

"Is there any difference?" Li Mao asked from the side at this time.

"The prices are different. The more difficult ones are cheaper, and the less difficult ones are more expensive." The butler replied.

"...You are still doing business?" Yun Shu said speechlessly.

Before the doorman could answer him, some of the people in the queue couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Hey, can you guys hurry up? Why are you taking so long?"

"Hmph! Look at my bad temper. It would have been fine if you didn't rush me. Now I'll let you wait until you are satisfied!" Yun Shu said angrily in his heart.

Without even turning his head, he ignored the impatient words and asked the doorman calmly, "How difficult are they? Please introduce them to me."

The doorman was so happy that someone called him "brother". It was rare to meet such a polite young man.

Apart from his ugly hairstyle, this guy looks better and better the more I look at him.

He ignored those impatient people and explained with a smile: "Well, the more difficult one is 10 taels of silver, and the less difficult one is 100 taels of silver. I advise you to choose the 100 taels if you have money."

"Fuck! So expensive!" Yun Shu took a breath.

"I choose 10 taels of silver." Li Mao handed 10 taels of silver to the doorman in a casual manner, then walked into the gate.

The doorman smiled happily and said loudly, "One male guest, 10 taels of silver, please come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant appeared in front of Li Mao and led him into the manor.

"Hey, aren't you quite rich? You can't even take out 100 taels?" Yun Shu asked hurriedly towards Li Mao's back.

"I can't possibly choose the easier one. If Sister Lin finds out, she'll look down on me!" Li Mao turned his head to explain to Yun Shu, then walked inside with his head raised proudly.

"...This kid is beyond saving..." Yun Shu shook his head.

Looking at the expectant butler who came to greet him, Yun Shu suddenly asked, "Brother, can you bargain?"

The housekeeper was stunned: "Bargaining?"

"Yes, yes, yes, the kind that requires you to chop hard." Yun Shu looked at the housekeeper expectantly.

The butler shook his head, seeming a little unhappy.

Yun Shu was greatly disappointed, and then he took out 10 taels of silver with a painful heart and handed it to the housekeeper, "It's not that I don't have money, I'm just afraid that that sister will look down on me..."

Actually, it’s good enough to be able to get 10 taels of cloud tree.

100 taels? Maybe in a dream.

Although the butler was a little disappointed, he still shouted loudly: "One male guest, please come in! 10 taels of silver."

The housekeeper's shouting gave Yunshu the feeling of spending money in a club.

Of course, the regular kind.

A servant walked out from behind the gate and smiled at Yunshu.

"Do you have any cards?" Yun Shu asked.

The servant looked confused.

Yunshu didn't want to embarrass him anymore and said, "I'm just kidding. Lead the way."

The servant introduced as he walked: "Dear guest, you will enter a magic circle of the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams. This magic circle is set up by an immortal. After you enter the magic circle, you will encounter an enemy. As long as you defeat this enemy, you can obtain your sword. Of course, this enemy is illusory and will not cause you any substantial harm."

"Immortals? Are there really immortals?" Yun Shu asked curiously.

It is said that his own skills can eventually lead to becoming a Buddha, that is, an immortal, but he has never seen a real immortal.

According to Yunshu's master, once one reaches the realm of immortals, one will encounter nine-day thunder tribulations. After surviving the thunder tribulations, the gate of heaven will be opened and one will ascend to become an immortal.

Yun Shu has always been looking forward to the day when his martial arts skills will be perfected, and then he will be able to fly to the sky and into the earth, and move mountains and seas.

However, ever since he went out to gain experience, he has never met a real immortal, and has never even heard of one.

It can be seen how difficult it is to cultivate to become an immortal, and how difficult it is to meet an immortal.

However, this ordinary servant in front of him casually said the word "immortal", which surprised Yunshu very much.

"Of course it's not common, but the previous owner of our Cangjian Villa was a sword immortal, so we know about the existence of immortals." The servant answered Yun Shu's doubts, his expression full of yearning for cultivating to become an immortal.

But Yunshu knew that it required opportunity and not everyone could do it. Even if you were given a set of immortal skills, you would not be able to comprehend them if your physique was not suitable for it.

The young man in front of him obviously hasn't encountered such an opportunity yet, so he can only fantasize about it.

"Your manor is indeed powerful." Yun Shu complimented and continued to follow the servant forward.

After passing a garden, Yunshu saw a large courtyard. In the center of the courtyard there was a rockery with a cave on it. There was a thick fog at the entrance of the cave.

Looking into the cave from the outside, you can't see anything at all.

In the spacious courtyard, there was no one else except Yunshu and the servant who brought him in.

Yunshu looked around, trying to find where Li Mao, who had come in earlier, had gone, but there was no trace of him at all.

The servant beside him saw what Yun Shu was thinking. He smiled and said, "The distinguished guest just now has entered the illusion array."

"And the man who brought him in?"

"Go through that door. When you enter the illusion array later, I will also go out from there." The servant pointed to another archway in the yard and said.

"Oh, by the way, no matter whether you get the sword or not, you have to go out through that door when you come out. This is the rule of our Cangjian Villa." After the servant added this, he walked towards the archway.

He knew that since the guest had already entered the courtyard, he would definitely enter the illusion array. It was just a matter of entering earlier or later. So there was no need for him to wait here.

Yun Shu no longer cared about the servant. He looked at the entrance to the illusion array and was in a dilemma. "Should I go in or not? There shouldn't be any danger in here. After all, this is an illusion array set up by an immortal. What if I go in and can't get out?"

"Oh... Never mind. I'm already here. Even that stupid boy Li Mao has gone in. What am I afraid of? Besides, I have my bitch with me."

After hesitating for a moment, Yunshu strode into the rockery cave.
