From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 45 Yuexia Hotel
"You are wrong. This three-legged golden toad is the sacred object of this temple. It has great luck. You are still young and cannot control it. You should return it to this temple as soon as possible."

Li Yang's face twitched. He said why did these words sound so familiar? Wasn't this what he said to the white-haired Tibetan macaque when he was taking the Kunlun Earth Milk?

"Get out of here!" Li Yang's face turned cold, and he wanted to pass Master Ma and continue up the mountain.

"What do you mean, fellow Daoist? Do you want to steal the sacred beast from me?" Master Ma still had a smile on his face and forcefully stretched out his fat hand to block Li Yang's way.

Li Yang said no more and stretched out his right hand to grasp Master Ma's wrist.

“Ahhh… Fusheng… Wuliang Tianzun! It’s going to break, it’s going to break!” Master Ma felt as if his wrist was clamped by two iron clamps, and the joints were crackling. He couldn’t even speak clearly: “Daoyou, stop it, I think there is a misunderstanding between us!”

Li Yang waved two fingers of his right hand, and Master Ma's entire wrist immediately turned to a strange angle, causing him to cry and shriek in pain.

By the time Li Yang released his fingers, Master Ma Guan's right arm had already drooped down. He turned pale in pain and stumbled back.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by this?" Master Ma retreated a few meters away, shouting in a stern voice.

"You are worthy of calling me fellow Taoist. If you disturb me again, it will not be as simple as breaking your arm." After Li Yang said this, he put the golden toad back into his pocket, and without looking at Master Ma's hideous expression of pain, he walked towards the hotel in Leidongping.

It was too late and the fog was strange, so he couldn't tell the direction. It would be better for him to rest in this hotel for one night and go to Golden Summit tomorrow morning.

"Okay, kid from Baiyun Mountain, I'll remember you. Maybe the mountains won't change, but the water will. Next time we meet..."

Master Ma had a cold look in his eyes and wanted to say something else, but Li Yang glanced at him. He swallowed his saliva and finally walked away unwillingly with his arms drooping.

The recent summer vacation is the peak tourist season, and the students from the University of Science and Technology at the foot of the mountain who have just finished their internship have come to climb Jinding, so all the hotels along the way are fully booked. Li Yang asked several hotels in a row but still couldn't find a place to stay.

While he was thinking, a clear female voice came from behind: "Master, is that you?"

Li Yang turned around and saw Zhao Ziyao waving at him with a look of surprise. Zhang Meng next to her was holding a small bag of medicine and seemed a little anxious.

"Master, I thought you had already reached the Golden Summit. I didn't expect you to still be hiding in Leidongping with us laymen."

Li Yang smiled bitterly: "I was looking for something in the mountains, so I was delayed."

"What are you looking for? Is it the treasure in the stone wall?" Zhao Ziyao was very curious. She had seen Li Yang pierce a stone with one palm, so she naturally knew that what Li Yang was looking for was probably not simple.

Seeing Li Yang coming out of many hotels, Zhao Ziyao immediately understood: "Master, you are not still looking for a place to stay?"

"How can you possibly find this? Our hotels have to be booked a week in advance, and these small hotels are already fully booked."

"But I know a big hotel that may not be full yet. I'll take you there."

Zhao Ziyao had already started pulling Li Yang's sleeves, not giving him a chance to refuse.

"Zi Yao, Nie Wei is still injured, why don't we go and give him some medicine first."

"Nie Wei is chasing you, why should I go? Hehehe, let our Xiao Meng go up by herself~"

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. What nonsense! I'll send it there myself."

Zhang Meng blushed, lowered her head and walked away with the medicine.

"Thank you for your kindness. I'd better find it myself." Li Yang looked at Zhao Ziyao, who was laughing like a female hooligan, and always felt that she was unreliable.

"Master, are you sure you don't need me to go with you? You are not going to climb up to the Golden Summit overnight, are you? Have you seen that warning sign?" Zhao Ziyao said, pointing to a sign next to it.

Li Yang nodded.

"Master, let me tell you, people have died if they climbed the mountain in this kind of fog at night! Even if you are lucky enough to climb to the Golden Summit, tourists are not allowed to visit there at night. You still have to find a hotel to stay in. The Golden Summit Hotel is not like the Leidongping Hotel. Without several thousand dollars, you can forget about having a place to stay." Zhao Ziyao went on incessantly, almost listing off every detail of the Golden Summit Hotel. Seeing that Li Yang was a little shaken, she knew that her lies had worked, and she was delighted.

"Wulian Tianzun, thank you very much, my good believer."

"That's right, what are you thanking me for? I'm just a young female college student, why would I lie to you? Come, follow me." Zhao Ziyao said as she pulled Li Yang's clothes and walked in one direction.

Li Yang was not sure whether Zhao Ziyao's words were true or false, but the mountain fog was indeed strange. After all, Mount Emei was a Taoist paradise and the place where ancient swordsmen lived in seclusion. It had too deep a historical background, so it was better to be cautious during this time of spiritual energy revival.

"Master, you can pierce a rock with one palm, are you afraid of a little girl like me? I really want to help you."

Zhao Ziyao was speechless. It was the first time she took the initiative to approach a member of the opposite sex. She didn't expect it would be so difficult for her.

There was thin ice on the mountain road. Zhao Ziyao walked forward carefully and became talkative again, telling Li Yang about her experiences on the way up the mountain.

Li Yang smiled silently as he listened to her vivid description of being besieged by a group of monkeys and then Nie Wei's sudden burst of energy to fight off the monkeys.

When he arrived at the entrance of a hotel, Li Yang knew at a glance why this "Yuexia" hotel was not fully booked.

This hotel is luxuriously decorated and has a garden pool, which makes it different from other hotels.

Apart from anything else, the four-digit price per night is not affordable for ordinary people.

"Sorry, the hotel is full. We cannot accommodate you. Please try another hotel."

The hotel receptionist was a lady in her thirties or forties. She glanced at the two of them and continued trimming her nails.

"Huh?" Zhao Ziyao glanced at the information on her phone and retorted, "Sister, Ctrip clearly shows that you have many rooms here?"

"I'm sorry, those rooms have just been rented out."

"Damn, is that possible? How could so many people come from this mountain to rent your hotel?" Zhao Ziyao obviously didn't believe it.

Li Yang grabbed her and said to her, "Aunt, is it because of the price? I have cash on me and can afford the hotel fee."

"You don't understand what I'm saying, right? Well, there's a presidential VIP suite, 20,000 dollars a night, do you want to stay there?"

"Twenty thousand yuan, auntie, are you trying to rob us? Or are you treating us like fools?" Zhao Ziyao was furious and was about to argue with the other party.

Hearing her being addressed from elder sister to auntie and then to auntie, the woman's face suddenly turned pale.

"You can stay here if you want, or not. If you don't have money, don't make a fuss here."

"And I'm telling you, even if you pay me 20,000 yuan, I won't let you live here. If you have the guts, make a bed on the ground in the mountains."

After the woman finished speaking, she went upstairs without looking back.

In the hotel box on the second floor, a fat Taoist priest who was bandaging with his right hand bowed to the hotel owner and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Qi, for this time."

"Hmph, a little charlatan who can only steal and rob wants to stay in my hotel! Master Ma, don't worry, all the small hotels around here are fully booked. As long as I don't say anything, this kid will freeze to death on Leidongping." Old man Qi took two puffs of his dry pipe and said hatefully.

"But Master Ma, is it true what you said about this kid pretending to be a Taoist priest to cheat people and steal things from Dongyue Temple?"

"Of course, I got my arm injured just to get the things back. How could I lie to you after we've known each other for so many years?"

The fat on Master Ma's face trembled, and he looked earnest.
