Refusing to work overtime for the teacher

Xie Fengxuan left.

Xiao Xun leaned back and turned his head to Xie Ling, his eyes revealed a trace of resentment.The man didn't take the initiative to speak.Xie Ling and him looked at each other for a moment, looked away, and said naturally: "You don't have to go to the temple fair alone."

"But I want to go with you." Xiao Xun lowered his eyes slowly, lowered his head, fiddled with the silver antlers hanging in front of him, seemingly really disappointed.

A sense of guilt rose in Xie Ling's heart again, and he quickly took a sip of tea to relieve his emotions.

"What are you doing clinging to me all day long?" Xie Ling stood up and said in a stiff tone.He intends to leave Xiao Xun alone for a while, let this person calm down on his own, and lift his feet to leave the main hall.After walking a few steps, he stopped, turned back and said, "Tell the others, if there is nothing important, there is no need to visit."

"What is Master going to do?" Xiao Xun followed his footsteps and asked.

Xie Ling didn't answer and stepped over the threshold.

Xiao Xun's eyes fell, and he dawdled for a while before going to do what Xie Ling asked.

Xie Ling came to the bedroom.He first changed into a dress that was far from Mr. Xuesheng's style, and changed the Taoist hairpin on his head, then took out the fairy pendant from the mustard space, hung it on his waist, and changed himself into an ordinary one. The strange face of passers-by, and then cautiously take a tone-altering pill.Realm does not need to be disguised, he is very good at hiding aura and strength.

There is still some time before evening, but it is not easy for Xie Ling to go down the mountain, so she must start now.

He missed the door and left.

The plants growing in Jingchuan are different from those in the human world, and also different from the place where Xie Ling lived in the past. There is a kind of round-leaved tree beside the mountain road. is beautiful.It exudes an aroma similar to sweet-scented osmanthus, which is sweet but does not attract mosquitoes.

Without the shackles of identity, Xie Ling was extraordinarily casual, imitating the habit of taking pictures and framing scenes in the past, finding a satisfactory angle, and stretching out her fingers to "frame" a certain scene.

He repeated this behavior in different places, and after a while, he came to the main road.

Compared with the quietness of the inn, this place is more popular.As they walked, they saw men, women and children, dressed in the same clothes as the two young people who escorted Xie Ling and his party earlier.These people were not surprised by Xie Ling's appearance, and some of them didn't even look at him, and continued to do what they were doing.

Xie Ling likes this kind of atmosphere, and the guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

Going further outside, Xie Ling met ordinary people living in Jingchuan. Some of them came for hunting and firewood, and some seemed to be worshiping.

Xie Ling observed the latter. These people looked pious, kowtowed in three steps, and muttered scriptures in their mouths.The direction of worship is the mountain, where Xie Ling came from.

Generally speaking, an organization that can hold such a grand feast will have a famous name, but there is none here, and even the place name is not used.The people living in Jingchuan called it "mountain" in order to distinguish it.

For the locals, the status of "on the mountain" is similar to Taoist temples?Xie Ling thinks this kind of relationship is interesting, in the human world, the Zongmen and the small town at the foot of the mountain don't often see each other as neighbors.

Xie Ling mingled into the crowd going down the mountain, and walked down with the big current, her pace was much more casual than before.

There are two worlds up and down the mountain.

The evening has come, and the magnificent and gorgeous sunset overflows here to form a grand background. In the sight, the stilted buildings on Qingshiban Road are full of lively and bright fireworks.

The voice of people is not a hustle and bustle, but it is also noisy.Countless small stalls have been set up along the street, and the hanging flags are fluttering in the wind, and the temple fair is slowly kicking off.

In the past, in order to make a theme related to the legend of gods and ghosts, Xie Ling went to temple fairs, large and small, almost all over the country, until she got to the point where she felt sick and dizzy when she saw the word "temple fair". In this life, I will no longer step into the temple fair.

But people always know how to cherish after they have lost it. Now Xie Ling deeply understands how hard it is to go to the temple fair when someone set up obstacles in the past and apprentices dragged their legs later.

Xie Ling walked into this street cherishingly.The temple fair is mainly about visiting the word "eat". Xie Ling came to the first stall, after some selection, asked the stall owner to wrap a five-spice pork pot helmet, and ate it while walking.

The outer skin of this pot helmet is crispy, and the pork filling is wrapped with ground Chinese prickly ash. After biting it, the numbing taste spreads between the lips and teeth, which moved Xie Ling's heart.

He is not short of food now, the food cooked by Xiao Xun tastes good, but the necessities of life, as expected, must be these unhealthy foods.

Xie Ling walked towards the second booth with such a mood.Fried skewers are sold here, and he asked the boss to order a bunch of everything without hesitation.

The third vendor sells pastries, and the fourth is... Xie Ling walked all the way to buy.The prices of the things sold here are almost the same amount of copper coins. Fortunately, Xie Ling has enough life experience to exchange part of the travel funds given by Gu Song into copper coins in advance. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the small vendors on this street to find them.

Xie Ling's left hand and right hand were full of food, and the harvest was very rich, so he couldn't help thinking about finding a place to sit down, tidy up these things, and then drink tea.

A mask stand bursts into view.Xie Ling adhered to the principle of "everyone comes here to have a look", and walked to the mask booth along the way, looked all over, and fell in love with a ghost mask with a green face and fangs.

He thought: This thing is suitable for Xiao Xun, should I buy it back and give it to him?No, no, he clearly rejected Xiao Xun's invitation, he must not shoot himself in the foot.

It's better to let Xiao Xun buy it by himself, anyway, he will also come to the temple fair, but he doesn't know if he has a fate with this mask.

Xie Ling thought ups and downs, and finally shook her head regretfully, and turned around from the mask booth.

At this time, I heard a voice saying: "Young master, buy a mask?"

He thought it was the stall owner soliciting customers, and said without looking back, "No."

The next moment, I saw a hand stretched out from the side, passed in front of him, and took off the ghost face.

Just then the voice sounded again: "My lord, shall I give you this mask?"

Xie Ling turned his head to look over.

The person who spoke was a young man, lightly dressed and holding a fan, with a handsome appearance and a smile on his face, he looked very friendly.

But this person was obviously suspicious, Xie Ling left without leaving a word.

"Hey?" The young man opened his eyes wide, stretched out his hand and waved at Xie Ling, then turned to ask the boss, "How much is this?"

Checkout was rushed.Xie Ling had already walked a long way, and seeing that he was about to disappear, the young man hurriedly chased after him, shouting:

"Young master, this young master, this orange-clothed young master, please wait a moment!"

Xie Ling was wearing an orange shirt with distinctive features. The man shouted eagerly, and most of the street's attention fell on Xie Ling.Xie Ling didn't want to be the focus of the crowd, frowned and stopped, waiting for the young man to get closer to him, he said angrily, "I know you?"

The young man smiled: "My lord, I see you have a kind face, and I want to get to know you."

Xie Ling: "..."

This strike-up is too old-fashioned.Xie Ling couldn't figure out why he would still be entangled with such an ordinary face.

He turned his head and was about to leave, but the young man raised his hand, pointed to a shop diagonally opposite, and said, "Young Master, the shrimp taste in this restaurant is truly amazing, why don't you try it together?"

Xie Ling turned to the young man.He didn't believe that this person was looking for a companion for dinner, so he asked, "What do you want to do?"

"This... can we move to the store to discuss?" The young man's eyes were full of sincerity.

...Could it be that you are the salesperson of that store?How could Xie Ling agree, but refused: "No."

"Hey." The young man sighed in embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and still followed Xie Ling's thoughts, and replied in the street: "Then tell the truth, I think you are very strong, and I want to invite you to join our sect."

"The young master came to Jingchuan at this time, it is for the Donghua Banquet, so you must know that, except for those famous schools that can receive invitations directly, the rest of the sects have to go through competition to be eligible to enter. I want to invite you... …join me in earning the right to participate.”

Xie Lingxin said that the script was finally normal, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but he also had new doubts, and asked him: "Why do you think that I am extraordinary and can help you win this competition?" Xie Ling was a little scared. The means of hiding his strength are not clever enough.

The young man stared at Xie Ling a little, and said: "Intuition."

"?" Xie Ling gave him a strange look, but was speechless for a while.

He had the tendency to turn around and leave again. The young man raised his voice and added, "I think you have a light figure and you walk silently. I think you have some strength."

This man is quite observant.But Xie Ling is already the peak master of the human world, how could he go to another school to be a second or fifth son, he immediately apologized and told this person that he already has a sect.

The young man said "Hey", and his tone was tinged with urgency: "It's okay, it's okay, the young master is the guest secretary of the sect, and it will never affect your development in your own sect."

Xie Ling raised his footsteps and paused, a question mark popped up in his mind.Give it to the official as soon as you come, is your sect so casual?

This reminded Xie Ling that when he was playing games in the past, some gang union recruitment scenes he saw on the public screen were very similar.Xie Ling felt a little nostalgic, and planned to learn more about it.

"I won the entrance qualification to Donghua Banquet for your sect, what good is there?" Xie Ling asked him.

"Young Master will receive regular support from me, and you will also get some experience at the Donghua Banquet." The young man said with a smile, "You can also have a different experience."

... The experience of being a [-]-year-old boy is quite different.

But what Xie Ling lacks now is experience.This is something that cannot be obtained in the human world. Mr. Xuesheng finished brushing up the experience copy early on.

It's a good idea to pay wages.

Xie Ling was a little moved, thought for a while, and asked: "What sect are you? Where are you?"

"This faction hasn't chosen a location yet, as for the name..." The man spoke in a low voice,

A bad premonition welled up in Xie Ling's heart, he sized this person up carefully, and his tone was much more cautious than before: "How many people are there in your sect?"

The young man showed shyness: "Including you and me, there are two people in total."

Xie Ling: "..." It's better to say that there are only two people, no, he hasn't agreed to join yet.

"I think this sect is probably just established." Xie Ling looked complicated.

"Just now, I called to stop you, son." The young man smiled.

...Sure enough, he was looking for him to form a sect on the spot.Individuals are not allowed to participate in the Donghua Banquet, and similar things have happened before.

That's fine, a new sect with a clean resume and no past grievances.

There are still few people, so they can leave whenever they want, without any sense of responsibility or guilt, anyway...he uses a fake face.Xie Ling made a decision and explored this person's realm: "Are you in the quiet realm?"

"Yes." The young man nodded, "What about you?"

"Same." Xie Ling said.Xiao Xun was in the Tranquility Realm, and he was most familiar with this realm.

"It's so good, you and I don't have to deal with opponents in the middle and high realms." The young man clapped his hands and smiled, feeling satisfied.

Xie Ling didn't know much about the rules of the qualifying competitions outside. Based on his past experience of playing with gangs in the game, he asked, "How many more people do you plan to recruit?"

The young man thought about it and replied: "It depends on fate? I don't like too many people, at most three or five."

Looking at Xie Ling again with confirming eyes: "Did you agree?"

"I agree." Xie Ling nodded, not dissatisfied with the school's scale plan.Immediately he was curious: "Why do you yearn for the Donghua Banquet so much?" He actually found a random group on the street and gave him a chance to practice for nothing.

"Is there anyone who doesn't yearn for the Donghua Banquet?" The young man asked back in surprise, and then replied: "I heard that Lord Xuesheng from the world will come, and I want to go and see it."

"A few years ago, I really wanted to join his sect, but it's a pity..."

He shook his head, his tone becoming somber.

Xie Ling: "..."

Then I have to say that you and Mr. Xuesheng are actually very close.Xie Ling followed his words and asked: "It's a pity that Mr. Xuesheng rejected it?"

Unexpectedly, the man waved his hand and said with a smile: "I didn't give him a chance to refuse."

?Little brother, what you said is interesting.Xie Ling's eyes were full of complex emotions like looking at a fool.

The young man finally finished speaking: "Hey, I overslept that day and missed the entrance trial of the human world."

"..."

"Then I have no choice but to go home and inherit the family business." The young man shrugged his shoulders, then raised his finger and pointed to the restaurant diagonally opposite, "My family is in business, and my father is the only son of me—this restaurant It’s also mine, the cook’s skills are really good, brother, may I treat you to a meal?”

Putting away the folding fan mask, he helped Xie Ling share some of the things in his hand, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and led the person to the restaurant, and said with a smile: "I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm going to Jiugui, Jiujiu Nine returns to one."

Xie Ling glanced at himself. He was wearing an orange shirt. When he looked up again, he saw a stone staircase going down beside the restaurant, and the outside of the staircase was facing the river, so he arranged a pseudonym for himself: "My name is Chen He .”

"It turned out to be Brother Chen. Brother Chen should be a few years older than me. From now on, I will call you Senior Brother?" Yue Jiugui suggested with a smile on his face.

"Okay." Xie Ling had no objection.

The two walked up the steps and into the restaurant, and Yue Jiugui tried to shout, "Senior Brother Chen."

"En." Xie Ling responded, and after a while, Xueyue Jiugui called out: "Junior Brother Yue."

Yue Jiugui laughed again.Xie Ling paid attention to his expression, and found that this person was happier than when he agreed to form a sect with him just now.

The words are divided into two parts.

When the first star rose from the east, Xiao Xun and Xie Fengxuan walked out of the inn on the mountain at the same time, holding their swords and rising up.

This time, the two did not part ways immediately, they ran side by side like racing, and came down the mountain in a blink of an eye.

The terrain of Jingchuan is special. In this small town at the foot of the mountain, stone ladders and ridges can be seen from time to time, but it is difficult to find a completely straight road. The road paved with bluestone slabs has a more or less slope.The lamps undulate along the long slopes one after another, like a long dragon covered with golden scales.

There is a crowd of people on the slope and ridge, and practitioners and ordinary people are mixed together to enjoy the lively scene.

Xiao Xun and Xie Fengxuan jumped off their long swords outside the temple fair, found a relatively uncrowded entrance, and stepped into this brightly decorated town.

They wandered aimlessly, and their expressions were a little smelly.

As we walked, a stand selling lamps appeared in front of us.With a thought in his mind, Xiao Xun strode over.He looked around at the things on the stall, thought for a while, and picked up a lamp carved with a hollow civet cat pattern.

The material of this lamp is not very good, but the carving and painting are lifelike, Xiao Xun rolled his eyes, turned his head and asked Xie Fengxuan, "You said we will bring back this lamp for Master, will he like it?"

Xie Feng glanced at the revolving lantern, and said coldly: "It's unnecessary."

But Xiao Xun laughed: "I think Master will like it." He said and picked up another lamp with a little wolf pattern, and paid for the two lamps together.Xie Fengxuan turned his head and left, Xiao Xun took a step behind him, and said with a smile, "Master always likes the things I give you."

Xie Fenglue frowned when he heard this, turned his head once, and took a deep look at the two lamps in Xiao Xun's hand.

It didn't take long for Xiao Xun to find another paving that he was interested in.He grabbed Xie Fengliao's arm, pulled him to the front of the booth, and asked: "Do you want to try this, Junior Brother?"

It is a pastry stand, with round, square, petal-shaped, white, yellow, green, and red.

"No need." Xie Fenglue waved his hands expressionlessly.

"Junior Brother doesn't want it, so forget it, but Master really likes these pastries." Xiao Xun's words showed some regret, then he turned his head, ordered a few items on the shop, and said to the stall owner: "Boss, Two servings of osmanthus cake, mung bean cake...and your Mutan Flower Cake here."

What he wanted was two copies, the meaning of which need not be expressed in words.Xie Fenglue frowned again, his mood was complicated and difficult to understand.

Xie Fengxue looked at the long street and the crowd on the street, but Xiao Xun asked the pastry stall owner questions one after another, such as whether this one is sweet or not, and that one is crispy or not, with a strong sense of presence.The impatience in Xie Fenglue's heart rose to the extreme, he took a step outside, remembered the etiquette again, and said to Xiao Xun: "Senior brother Xiao is very interested, so I won't accompany you." After speaking, he strode away.

"Hey, Junior Brother, why don't you have dinner together? You promised Master that you would go to the temple fair with me." Xiao Xun shouted behind Xie Fenglie.

Xie Fenglue turned a deaf ear and disappeared into the crowd in an instant.

Xiao Xun "watched" him off, let out a light snort, and turned around to take the pastries wrapped by the stall owner.

Without Xie Fengxuan at the side, Xiao Xun stopped talking about that hypocritical smile, and his expression and posture were indifferent.Xie Ling arranged for him to go to the temple fair with Xie Fengxuan, which finally made him unhappy.

He also walked into the crowd, carrying a lantern in one hand and a cake in the other, and blew a breath into the air, blowing out a road map of the small town at the foot of Jingchuan Mountain.Guided by the road map, he turned three times and four times in the crowds, and came to the door of a restaurant.

This restaurant is called "Yueji Snacks". Its name is small, and it can cook mostly big dishes. It has an excellent reputation and is well-known far and near.Xiao Xun scanned the menu hanging on the wall, today's offerings include fish head with chopped pepper, flavored shrimp, braised shrimp and boiled beef.

The lobby on the first floor is only half full, but there are no seats by the window.Xiao Xun went up to the second floor, there was a private room facing the street, he opened the beaded curtain and sat in the chair, and said to the waiter who came over: "Ten catties of flavored shrimp, one fish head with chopped pepper."

But I heard the waiter reply: "I'm sorry, guest officer, you can only order one serving of flavored shrimp, which is two catties."

"Why, I can't eat so much?" Xiao Xun raised his eyebrows, showing a displeased expression.

"I didn't mean that. This is the rule of the small shop. The daily supply of crayfish is limited, and only one serving per table. Please forgive me." The waiter smiled apologetically and explained to him.

Xiao Xun gave a "tsk", not liking this rule very much, and said: "I reserve the table. I don't care what I'm eating, and I reserve all the other tables."

"Eh?" The man was stunned, "...this."

Xiao Xun leaned back in the chair, and said impatiently, "No?"

"Hey, guest officer, calm down, I can't decide this matter, I have to ask our boss." The man said quickly.

"Don't go soon."

"Guest officer, wait a moment!"

The clerk hurried away, walked through the corridor, and walked into a private room diagonally opposite.

Xiao Xun fiddled with the civet cat lamp on the table, and tilted his head to look over.

There were two people sitting in that room, one of them was blocked by a pillar, and the man was talking to him; the other was sitting opposite, his clothes were mainly orange-red, decorated with red and green, the combination was very beautiful.Xiao Xun could see the profile of this person, his appearance was just ordinary, his eyes were also average, but his pupils were extremely beautiful, like flowing stones.
