The Demon Venerable's Wistful Desire

Chi Muyao's initial prediction was indeed correct.

Others are newlyweds, and they are going to offer tea to their elders early the next morning.However, after he and Xi Huai held the couple ceremony, Xi Lin saw his son and "daughter-in-law" again the following year.

The couple didn't go down the mountain for a whole year after the Dao couple ceremony. Those who knew it knew it was a long bridal chamber, and those who didn't know it was still serving a sentence.

On the day Chi Muyao and Xi Huai went down the mountain together, no one else in the sect expected it, and naturally no one was waiting for them.

It just so happened that when they went down the mountain, they saw Song Weiyue who was reading in the gazebo.

Song Weiyue's ability to read is usually forced by the palace master of Zunyue Palace. After all, the palace master dislikes Song Weiyue's illiterate appearance.

At this moment, the book in Song Weiyue's hand is a collection of pictures, with pictures on the top and corresponding words on the bottom, for example, a tree is drawn on the top, and "tree" is written on the bottom.

Song Weiyue was very surprised to see the two of them coming over, immediately dropped the book and went over, looked at Chi Muyao and said, "How did Ah Jiu lose so much weight? You are already thin and weak, how can you still have room to lose weight?"

"It's all...too much exercise." Chi Muyao answered with difficulty.

Fortunately, the person chatting with them was Song Weiyue.Sure enough, Song Weiyue didn't understand, and continued to chat with them calmly: "The 33rd palace hasn't been built yet. Ajiu just joined Qing Zezong and was about to hold a Daoist ceremony. There is no time to discuss it. The ceremony is over. Later, I couldn’t find any of you, and the uncles in the door didn’t know Ah Jiu’s preferences, and didn’t know what to build, and everyone was waiting for you.”

At this moment, Chi Muyao is satisfied as long as he can stay away from Xi Huai. Now when he sees his Taoist companion, he will feel seasick, as if his Taoist companion is the sea - full of waves.

During this year, except for falling asleep from exhaustion, or meditating to absorb his cultivation, his body never stopped at any other time.

Hearing about this, he immediately said that he could go to the deacon's hall to see the design drawings, and then he fled to the deacon's hall.

Xi Huai also wanted to follow, but his main purpose of going down the mountain this time was to ask Xi Lin about the exercises.

The dual cultivation is almost done, and it is time to improve his own strength. He does have many shortcomings in terms of skills.

Even though he was a little bit reluctant to see Chi Mu's distant figure, he still had no choice but to go to Xi Lin first.

Qing Zezong's deacon hall can be described as "too rich".

In the Hehuan Sect, the deacon hall is just a side hall, and you need to walk through a long corridor to reach the second floor to enter.

Those of the Imperial Pet Sect were even more shabby, and a room was casually vacated to serve as the deacon's hall.

Qing Zezong's deacon hall is a separate courtyard. When you go up the mountain, you will see the archway first. The carved beast on the top is extremely huge and domineering, almost the same size as the real kiss.

The dougong is Yunwaitian's symbol of cloud-shaped carvings, and the glazed tiles and sparrows are also engraved with superb craftsmanship, and the details are handled extremely delicately.There is a swastika pattern on the rolling pier stone, which means auspiciousness and the rolling in of wealth.

Enter the archway and walk in for a while, there are two small pavilions for inspection.

At the back are two rows of side rooms, namely the Wen Pavilion and the Wu Building.Going to Wenge is usually to get some scrolls, brushes and other things, while Wulou is a place to get magic weapons, repair and maintain sabers.

And because this is Qing Zezong, there are almost no people in front of the Wen Pavilion, but there are people coming and going at the gate of the Wu Building.

The open and bright three-story main hall directly in front is the real deacon hall. The first floor is the registration and pick-up office of the deacon hall. Things that are ignored in the previous two places can be registered and processed here.

The second and third floors are mostly storage spaces, or places where disciples work.

After Chi Muyao arrived, he was invited into the inner room of the deacon's hall, sat at a table and chair on one side to drink tea, and chose the drawing style.

After sitting here for less than half an hour, he realized that something was wrong.

The efficiency of the disciples in the deacon's hall was very low. The abacus in the hands of the disciples who settled accounts "tap-tap-tat-" shook like a bamboo tube of flowing water, and it took a long time to move it.

Chi Muyao endured it for a while and finally couldn't help it anymore. This scene even made his hands itch, so he put down the album and walked in front of the disciple who settled accounts.

This disciple had a foundation-building cultivation, held the ledger in one hand, pointed to one of the records with his finger, and moved the abacus with the other hand, while still muttering words, and when he moved the abacus, he had to double check that he was moving it correctly.

Seeing Chi Muyao coming, the disciple quickly got up to say hello, but suddenly forgot where he was.

Chi Muyao couldn't help asking: "Are you just learning abacus?"

"Well, the disciple was only recently sent to work in the deacon's hall."

"Aren't the disciples of Qing Zezong's Deacon Hall specially recruited?"

"No, Qing Zezong's disciples have good aptitude, and they need to take turns to go out to practice, or retreat to practice. Coming to the deacon's hall to help is just to complete a task. After completion, you can receive rewards such as spirit stones and elixirs."

Chi Muyao took a deep breath, and then drove the disciple away: "Forget it, I'll do it."

He opened the account book and looked through it, and soon found that the account book was recorded by different people in different periods, each person's style was different, and the handwriting was also different.

Chi Mu looked through it for a while, then pointed to a line of records and asked, "Do you need to reconcile accounts from here?"

"Yes."

Chi Muyao's gaze was always on the account book. He didn't look at the abacus, but his fingers moved the abacus quickly. The abacus beads crackled and moved very fast. It seemed that there was no need to confirm it at all. Presumably, he was confident that he would not make a wrong dial.

The fingers kept moving, and the account book had turned another page.

Afterwards, the foundation-building disciple watched Chi Muyao reconcile the entire account book at a strange speed, then looked at the summary account book, put it aside after a few ticks, and said, "Bring the other account books too. "

Naturally, the disciple didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly brought other account books, and placed them neatly beside Chi Muyao.

When Chi Muyao went to look at other account books, the foundation-building disciple picked up the account book just now and looked through it, and found that Chi Muyao also found something wrong with the account and marked it out while calculating.

The speed and efficiency are jaw-dropping.

In less than an afternoon, Chi Muyao had finished reconciling the accounts for the past year, and after the reconciliation, he held it in his hands and looked at the places where there was something wrong with each account, secretly pinching his fingers.

It just so happened that Xi Huai came to the deacon's hall at this time, and after entering, he asked, "How do you see the drawings?"

Chi Muyao didn't answer, but just put down the account book.The heavy account book made a "bang", and then Xi Huai heard him say: "Call your father."

"Ah?" Is this directly inviting the Sovereign to come over?

"Call me." Chi Muyao was very persistent.

Xi Huai was a little puzzled, but he went out and passed on a sound transmission talisman.

After Xi Lin entered the deacon's hall, he found that Chi Muyao was writing something with a pen. He walked over and asked, "Is this a blueprint? You decide for yourself, don't ask me."

But Chi Muyao said at this moment: "Sect Master, I have read Qing Zezong's accounts for the past year, and there are many things that are not right, and these expenses are all signed by you. Are you embezzling Lingshi?"

"Uh..." Xi Lin was a little surprised, why did the couple meet for the first time after the Daoist Ceremony, it was just like this, "What's wrong?"

Chi Muyao opened the account book, pointed to the problematic places and said one by one: "On July [-]th, Lingshi [-] bought brocade; on August [-], Lingshi [-] bought pine wood. But here In the purchase book, there is no record of the arrival of Baiwujin and pine wood."

Xi Lin was a little embarrassed. He kept a straight face and didn't speak. He sat aside and looked at Xi Huai.

Xi Huai took a look at the account, then looked at the purchase book, and sighed, "Do you not want the 33rd Palace, but want to take over the Deacon Hall?"

Only then did Chi Muyao come back to his senses: "I just... couldn't hold back and wanted to help."

"You will also check with the suzerain in the Hehuan sect?"

"Well, the suzerain always pushes Pai Gow, and makes false accounts when he loses money. I don't care about it, I'm used to it..."

Xi Lin simply coughed lightly when he heard this, but remained silent.

Xi Huai couldn't help laughing, and asked Xi Lin's apprentice: "Where has my father been these few days?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the date on the account book.

The disciple replied solemnly: "In the sect."

Chi Muyao came over and interrupted them: "You shouldn't ask that, where did the suzerain go the day before these two days?"

"Go...go..." The disciple was at a loss for words.

Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Xi Lin said angrily, "I'm pushing Pai Gow! I'm a majestic suzerain. If I lose in Pushing Pai Gow, I can go out of my way to make a fake account. Isn't it very responsible?"

Chi Muyao was taken aback by Xi Lin's strange remarks, how could Xi Lin speak so confidently?

But Qing Zezong belongs to Xi Lin, so it's not surprising to do so.

After a while, Chi Muyao asked, "Are you pushing Pai Gow with my master?"

Xi Lin replied calmly: "Well, what's the matter?"

"It's not surprising that you will lose."

"How do you say, your master's card skills are very good? Isn't this a matter of luck?"

It was hard for Chi Muyao to explain, so he could only say, "Next time, you take me with you."

"You also like pushing Pai Gow?"

He denies it: "No, I just like winning money."

Satisfied with this answer, Xi Lin laughed and agreed.

During this year, Si Ruoyu has been very free, so from time to time, he called the cultivators he knew to push Pai Gow together.

It was rare to be in a good mood today. After Si Ruoyu came to Zhengyu Pavilion, he walked into the room they had "occupied" all year round. After entering, he saw Chi Muyao and Xi Huai were there, and couldn't help being surprised: "Are you finally willing to go down the mountain?"

As he spoke, he walked over, held Chi Muyao's wrist and probed: "The spiritual power is a bit messy, but it's stable enough, not bad."

Chi Muyao also behaved well-behaved enough: "Well, thank you Master for your concern."

When pushing Pai Gow, Si Ruoyu saw that Chi Muyao was sitting in Xi Lin's position, and Xi Lin, Xi Huai and his son were sitting behind Chi Muyao on the left and right, and realized something was wrong.

Si Ruoyu tapped his fingertips on the table while playing cards, and then glanced at Chi Muyao, as if he wanted to make eye contact with Chi Muyao, but Chi Muyao didn't seem to notice her expression.

He always had a smile on his face, was very gentle and couldn't fault anything.

This scene is quite funny, two Nascent Soul cultivators are sitting behind a Golden Core cultivator.Each of these two had a dragon horn on their heads, and they both looked majestic and majestic, with domineering looks on their brows, but when they sat behind Chi Muyao, they looked a little cute.

It's like a masked man with a gentle temperament, playing cards with two vicious bodyguards, if you dare to win their spirit stones, the cards will be burned for you!

Xi Huai didn't seem to understand Pai Gow, nor did he know what the situation was like, and his brows were furrowed when they were playing cards.Fortunately, others don't know his confusion, and look at him as if he is in deep thought.

Xi Lin was very active, and always wanted to guide Chi Muyao a few times, but it turned out that Chi Muyao didn't seem to need him to guide him. This kid has very good calculation skills. Even if this card is not good, he can guarantee that he will not lose the worst. The one who played the cards was extra prudent and prudent.

The first few rounds were pretty normal, but after the fourth round, Si Ruoyu began to be dishonest. Others used object control to draw cards, but she stretched out her hand to grab them, and her delicate hand slid across the table with a fragrance.

Chi Muyao took a look, but didn't make any moves. It wasn't until halfway through the round that Chi Muyao snapped his fingers, breaking the illusion.

The cultivators who were pushing the Pai Gow were taken aback for a moment, only to find that the cards in their hands had suddenly changed, and the cards thrown on the table were also different from what they remembered.

Si Ruoyu immediately slapped the table and said angrily, "Chi Muyao!"

Chi Muyao was a little helpless: "Master Zu, you used this trick to win a lot of spirit stones from Sect Master Xi, right?"

This time Xi Lin finally understood, and said in surprise, "Sect Master Si, you, you actually use illusion to play cards?!"

Si Ruoyu can be called the ancestor of illusion, and her fighting skills are not good, but her illusion skills are excellent, and the illusions she creates are so meticulous that it is difficult for a Nascent Soul cultivator to realize that she has fallen into the illusion.

After this illusion is used, the results of various perceptions of the people who have been recruited will be quietly changed. These people can't realize that the game is being controlled by others, and they still think they are playing normally.

With this skill, Si Ruoyu won many spirit stones.

But today let Chi Muyao break it.

Another Nascent Soul Qi Tianzun, who played cards with him all the year round, couldn't help asking: "Sect Master Si, are you a little unreasonable?"

Si Ruoyu replied confidently: "This is the Demon Sect, and the cultivators of the Demon Sect do not rely on their own abilities? Didn't the Sect Master of the Thousand Hands Sect also steal and change cards last time?!"

The man also knew that there are not many good people in the cultivators of the Demon Sect, so he proposed: "You don't have to pay back all the spirit stones you won, at least half of them?"

"Impossible!" Si Ruoyu immediately refused arrogantly, "I don't know if Sect Master Zhang has the distress that he has nowhere to vent his spiritual power recently. What kind of girl do you like? I will let my disciple accompany you for two days."

Zongzhu Zhang was very angry: "Not only did you win my money, but you also wanted your disciples to absorb my spiritual power. You took all the good things!"

"My disciples are all like flowers and jade. If it weren't for your high cultivation base and good aptitude, they wouldn't like you as an old bone! Maybe you don't know any tricks, but only go on the rampage."

"You, you... Didn't you agree not to speak nasty words before playing cards?"

"Are you playing cards now? You are arguing now. Do I have to take your mood into account when I quarrel?"

Xi Lin was stunned for a while before recovering and asked Chi Muyao: "Before, I lost because of illusion?"

Chi Muyao nodded solemnly: "Well, suzerain, people outside are sinister, so it's better for you to stay out of the sect."

Xi Lin, a silly, sweet, and evil dragon who would be furious if he was told a few words by other cultivators, and would be plotted against by others when he went out to play cards, but he couldn't find it.

Xi Lin looked at the cards on the table in dismay, as if he didn't intend to play any more, sighed and got up to leave.

He was disappointed with Pai Gow.

He was disappointed in Momen.

Si Ruoyu took Chi Muyao out of Zheng Yu Pavilion, pinched his waist and asked angrily: "You little heartless, you just got married not long ago, and your elbows turned out?!"

Chi Muyao replied aggrievedly: "It's wrong for you to use illusion to win cards, and you won too much."

"Since I returned to the Hehuan Sect, the investigation of our Hehuan Sect by the outside world has become more and more strict. Many disciples can only return to the Hehuan Sect. So many disciples gather together, and they are all cute little girls. Find a way to feed them."

"But--"

"It's nothing! Chi Muyao, the ancestor is very angry, you have been expelled from the Hehuan Sect!" Si Ruoyu left angrily after losing his temper.

Xi Huai looked at his father who left in a daze, and then at Si Ruoyu who left in a panic, and suddenly wanted to laugh: "They are all hundreds of years old, why do they look like they haven't grown up, because of this, you will be expelled from the teacher The door is closed? Do you need to go back and explain? Coax your master?"

"Actually, there is no need...you don't have to worry, I will go to Huanzong."

"Do you want me to accompany you?"

"Need not."

"Okay, I'll go comfort my dad."

Chi Muyao stepped on the pink cloud-shaped flying magic weapon, and followed Si Ruoyu towards the Hehuan Sect.

When he arrived at the gate of the sect, he saw a junior sister secretly opened the door for him, and asked in a low voice: "Little senior brother, why did you make the ancestor angry?"

"I didn't mess with it." He entered the Hehuan Sect cautiously, and then headed towards the Deacon Hall of the Hehuan Sect.

When he arrived at the deacon's hall, he had just sat down when the younger junior sisters took the initiative to bring the account books.

As soon as Chi Muyao opened it, he saw Si Ruoyu barging in: "Don't give it to him, he has already been expelled from the division!"

Chi Muyao looked up at her, ignored her, lowered his head and continued to look at the account books, counting his abacus, and drew a stroke from time to time with the brush in his hand.

Si Ruoyu was still aggressive at first, but after seeing it, he froze, and even wanted to destroy the account books.

After Chi Muyao finished reconciling the account, he almost said with a sigh of relief: "Master!"

Si Ruoyu's original temper disappeared in an instant, and he simply hugged Xu Ranzhu and complained: "Ahhh, look at him! Ah Jiu is so annoying! Obviously I raised him, but he is still fierce to me !"

Chi Muyao came to her with the account book, pointed to several places and said, "How can you buy so many jewelry?"

"I was wrong!" Although Si Ruoyu admitted his mistake, he still shouted at him, "I was wrong! I was wrong!"

Xu Ranzhu then explained: "A lot of disciples were driven back by the infiltrated sects, but their cultivation bases did not make any progress, and they were depressed. The ancestor bought jewelry for them, hoping that they would feel better."

Chi Muyao could only sit back holding the account book and fell into melancholy looking at the account book.

Si Ruoyu finally became honest and asked, "Is it serious?"

Chi Muyao looked at the current property amount of Hehuanzong with the account book, and said: "It is necessary to purchase the Foundation Establishment Pill. I just checked the statistics, and several junior sisters can attack the Foundation Establishment. And I felt that the Foundation Establishment Pill It should not be too harsh on the distribution, and some of the second and third rushes can also be given appropriately, so as not to put too much pressure on them when they hit the foundation building stage."

"Oh..." She moved to the table and looked at the account book, "You're right, I really didn't think carefully, do you have a solution?" I have read their accounts, if we buy the two sects together, the quantity will be larger and the cost will be lower. But this favor has to be paid back, you know?"

"Oh, I see."

Seeing that Si Ruoyu's anger had subsided from a distance, Chi Mu said, "I did it on purpose today. It's not appropriate for you to bluff and play cards like this. There are many hot-tempered people in the Demon Sect. Today there are me and Xi Huai." As long as the situation can be controlled, if other people discover the truth in the future and fight you, your fighting skills are not strong, and if you fail to escape quickly, you may be killed.

"You are the sect master, the only Nascent Soul cultivator of the Hehuan Sect, if something happens to you, what should the other disciples do?

"Today's rumors of your reputation for cheating at cards can cut off the possibility of you continuing to play cards. Even if you stop cheating, there are winners and losers in gambling. If you lose a lot, the sect can't afford it. How about broken."

"Oh..." A person who is several hundred years old was rendered speechless by a junior.

Chi Muyao sighed: "Don't lie to Sect Master Xi all the time, Sect Master Xi will be fooled by you."

"For so many years in the devil's door, do you know that soldiers are not tired of deceit? Why does he have so much cultivation but not so much knowledge? I just taught him a lesson and let him know that the human heart is sinister."

"Master!"

"I was wrong!!!" The apology was more domineering than anyone else.

Seeing this scene, Xu Ranzhu couldn't help laughing out loud.

The author has something to say: one hand entrusts three schools: Qingzezong, Hehuanzong, and Yuchong School.

The master of the Qianshou sect who stole the card: You are shameless!

Si Ruoyu who used the illusion: You are the dirty one!

Zongzhu Zhang: I am the victim!

Si Ruoyu: You won't get paid if you lose!

Sovereign Zhang: ...

Xi Lin stood at the highest point of morality and pointed: You are all bastards!

The three retorted at the same time: Who is the one who fights when they lose? !

Xi Lin: ...
