The best demon master

Chapter 157 Dangerous Situations

Xiaoling's mother was annoyed, and argued for a few words. Under the clamor of someone with a heart, Shangguan Bofei immediately showed his might and beat this "evil woman who sold poisonous pills" to death on the spot.

Not long after, the Elder Keqing from the Pill Pavilion approached Xiaoling, and she realized that the elder Keqing was Shangguan Bofei's distant uncle. Fortunately, Xiaoling was usually cautious, and she only practiced alchemy in her spare time. The spirit grass that I bought was refined, so I couldn't hold the handle, but I was also sent by the other party to the subordinate's Lingzhitang to be a maid.

Every spiritual planter in Lingzhitang is equipped with a maidservant. If it is a man, it is equipped with a male servant, and if it is a woman, it is equipped with a maidservant. These people are only serving the daily life of the Lingzhi teacher.

Under the servants and maidservants, there are slave laborers. Sweeping the floor, watering, washing clothes, mining, etc. are all done by slave labor.

Although the maidservant's status is not low, but as a maidservant dispatched from above, she still cannot avoid being looked down upon.The steward who used to fawn on her, but now he is doing her best to order her around, until a second-level spiritual planter who is also not liked by others came here, and she took the initiative to ask Ying to be Gu Xiaopu's maid, so she was at peace.

What happened to Xiaoling is indeed unfortunate, but although Gu Xiaopu is not bad-hearted, she does not easily believe in other people's one-sided words. After all, she is seriously injured and has lost her soul. She has lost many memories other than Master Lingzhi. If others lied to her, she really had no defense at all.

However, under Xiaoling's pleading, she still agreed and asked her to be a registered disciple first.

The inheritance of Lingzhi master is very important. After all, in this Yunwu Villa, a group of people with high status will not easily let outsiders join their community of interests, that is, Gu Xiaopu. A newcomer from outside would accept a named disciple so casually. In fact, it is not prudent for those spiritual plant masters to accept a named disciple.

"Thank you, Master..." Xiao Ling offered tea and thanked her.

"You don't have to call me master first, you can talk about it after you get started."

Gu Xiaopu taught her some basic knowledge and asked her to practice first.But when Xiaoling heard the few basic books she recommended for Lingzhi masters, she couldn't help showing a embarrassed look.

"My lord, those books can only be read after they have been obtained from the Book Collection Pavilion in the villa. And we servants and maidservants are all inferior people, only slightly higher than slave labor, but we have not entered the Library Pavilion. Qualifications, the lowest limit there, must be apprentices or registered bookmakers, unless, unless..."

Gu Xiaopu frowned, and said, "Say it straight, don't make a fuss about it, I don't like it..."

"Xiaoling got it wrong. There is a rule in the Library Pavilion. If you are an apprentice or above, you can take someone there. Of course, if you are a maidservant in the three halls and four pavilions, you can also borrow books in it for the reason of organizing the Library Pavilion." For some classics, the sick young master of the Library Pavilion is a very good-tempered person..."

"Oh, since that's the case, you can go to the Library Pavilion with me, just as I'm going to look up some things too..."

"My lord, Xiao Ling has something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Ok?"

"The spiritual planter who came today is a fourth-level spiritual planter, that is, Shangguan Bofei, who killed my mother before. He is a relative of Keqing Shangguan's elder. Now he was recommended by the elder and joined Yunwu Villa. Shangguan The elder won a place for him to write the test questions. It just so happens that the stewards of Lingzhi Church have always flattered the elder Shangguan. If you are late, I am afraid that the other party will find out the news and make things difficult for you..."

Gu Xiaopu was surprised and thought to himself, is there anyone else who can't take this job of his own?But robbing is not necessarily a bad thing, anyway, I don't have a sense of belonging here, so I might as well just leave.

However, without waiting for Xiao Ling to persuade her, she also dismissed this idea.Now that I am the spiritual planter of Yunwu Villa, I am afraid it will be easy to come in, but not easy to go out.Losing this opportunity to stand out, and being hated by some colleagues, if someone has evil intentions, it will be difficult for him to resist.

As it was a matter of his own safety, Gu Xiaopu took his maidservant Xiaoling to Zangshu Pavilion.

She was going to the library to look up the questions given by the spiritual plant teacher exams over the years, but on the way, she saw soldiers patrolling from time to time, and someone was always watching her secretly.Make her feel a little strange.After asking Xiaoling, I found out that because I accepted the job of the Lingzhi teacher, I was not allowed to contact other Lingzhi teachers.

As they were walking quickly, they suddenly heard the sound of arguing. Gu Xiaopu took a closer look, but saw that it was the girl called Xiaohe whom she had glimpsed before, but this naughty girl was pinching her at this moment. Back bent, bulging cheeks, frowning, blushing, arguing with another high-spirited girl.

Xiao Ling also spotted Xiao He, and walked over there first.

Gu Xiaopu heard Xiaohe angrily saying whether to go or not.The other girl was sarcastic, saying what the other party was like. These words made Gu Xiaopu feel a little weird. After all, the two girls were dressed as maidservants, so it was strange to be able to curse like this.

"Hmph, what's wrong with me being a maidservant? There are rules in the villa. I'm a member of the Spiritual Pet Hall, and I'm registered in the register. I've only learned to serve the spiritual pet. I don't know what kind of young master Shangguan I'm serving. Could it be that he's also a monster? ?”

"Girl is rude, who is Master Shangguan, you dare to abuse behind your back? Ling Chong Tang, what Ling Chong Tang, you are now sent to work under our Pill Pavilion. If you don't accept the management of the Beast Pavilion, the steward of Ling Zhi Tang calls you Go, you have to go, that is your honor, otherwise I will tell Elder Shangguan to ask him to invite you personally..."

Gu Xiaopu heard the two of them arguing endlessly, and when Xiaoling came to persuade her, the woman said in a strange manner: "Hey, isn't this an ugly monster from the Pill Pavilion? Why don't you practice alchemy anymore? With your appearance, you can also be a maid? If your master woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly saw you and was frightened to death, wouldn't it be an anecdote?"

Xiaoling stood up straight and said angrily, "Ganoderma lucidum, when did I offend you?"

"Hey, Xiao Zhi doesn't dare to be that. Master Ling, you are always dedicated to learning, and you fawn on those alchemy apprentices every day. How can you take us seriously? People who are also in the alchemy pavilion, you are eager to learn, but we are not up to date, you learn Forget about alchemy, why not let others learn it, you didn't drive Brother Shen away?"

"Are you venting your anger on your concubine? If Brother Shen hadn't stolen my spiritual herb, how could he..."

"Isn't it just a few spirit grasses? You are working in the Pill Pavilion, so there are still fewer spirit grasses?"

"I'm not like you. I have received countless bribes from others. Besides, Brother Can didn't tell you that it was Elder Bodhizi who found him stealing that night, right? You dare to protect him. You are not afraid that the elder will know and drive you out of the alchemy pavilion." ?”

Xiao He hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Sister Ganoderma lucidum thinks it's for your lover, and even the Lord Guard is not afraid! No wonder you run to Ling Zhitang every day, isn't it just to meet your lover? Do you want my sister to promote it for you? some time?"

"You...well, well, you two sisters bullied me together, Xiaohe, if you have the ability, you will never go, wait for the higher-ups to find you for tea in person. And you, with a useless spiritual planter, sooner or later It's also sweeping out the door, if you don't die, you won't die... hmph..."

Ling Zhi pointed at the two women, twitching angrily, then left after scolding, without staying for a moment.

Gu Xiaopu touched his nose and said to himself, why did you scold me too.

Afterwards, Xiao He was also brought over by Xiao Ling to salute Gu Xiao Pu. Although she heard this girl talking about her outside the door, she did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Gu Xiao Pu. After saluting obediently, under Xiao Ling's instigation, Said the past.It turned out that she and Xiaoling had the same illness, but because of a mistake in feeding the spirit pet, she was sent out by the disciple of the spirit pet hall and replaced by another maidservant.

"It turns out that these days, being a maid is also under competitive pressure..." Gu Xiaopu sighed.

Xiao He pouted and said: "It's not that disciple, who lacks maternal love, has long since taken a liking to a maidservant with big breasts, and has always wanted to change her to serve her, so she deliberately made an excuse and kicked me out... "

Gu Xiaopu looked at the little girl's chest, and couldn't help smiling.

"But it's fine to drive away, but the new Hu Meizi is not a good person. He was worried that the disciple would recall me and call me back, so he used a spirit beast, Ba Snake, to bribe Gongyefa of Lingzhitang, and sent me away. Transferred to Lingzhi Church to serve the spiritual pets..."

Gu Xiaopu asked: "What is a spiritual pet?"

Xiao He blurted out: "Not even a spiritual pet..."

"Xiao He!" Xiao Ling yelled at her interrupted words, "I am now Master Gu's registered disciple, don't be rude..."

"Ah? Did you really become a teacher? Well, speaking back to my lord, the Lingchong Hall is the branch of the Beast Pavilion among the four pavilions. Below the Beast Pavilion, there are war beasts. They can go out to fight with the disciples of the villa. It is theirs. Good partner. There are beasts to ride. Our Yunwu Villa has a radius of hundreds of miles, which can be said to be the same size as a small country. With such a distance, it is natural for the guests, disciples, and even servants of the villa to go to other pavilions to do business. If you want to ride a beast, you will not miss the time. In addition, there are pet beasts, which are the benefits that the owner of the villa gave to the maidservants and servants. Of course, these pet beasts are mostly descendants of some monsters. Because the blood is too mixed, so there is no special ability, it can only be used for self-defense, some of us maidservants go out to work, and when we meet bad people, we rely on spiritual pets..."

"I see, what is your spiritual pet?"

Xiaoling took the words and said, "My lord, you can't inquire about the matter of spiritual pets at will, because in case there are people who are not cunning, if you have already prepared yourself, it will be difficult for spiritual pets to play a role. Of course, for adults Said, but it is irrelevant. No matter how weak a spiritual planter is, he is not afraid of spiritual pets. Xiaohe's spiritual pet is a little turtle, very cute..."

"Where's your spiritual pet?"

Xiao He was anxious, and said: "Sister, what did you say, but you said mine, and I also want to tell you what your spiritual pet is. My lord, my sister's spiritual pet is actually a pigeon. She usually uses it as a pigeon. This pigeon and..."

Just as she was speaking, her voice became quieter.

Gu Xiaopu was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized that Xiaoling must have used this pigeon to communicate with her mother, but now that her mother is dead, the pigeon can no longer be used.Thinking of this, Gu Xiaopu felt sympathetic, and said comfortingly, "Let's go to the Library Pavilion quickly. If you can learn the skills early, he won't be able to bully you. If you can become an apprentice of Lingzhi Master, I can also teach you. You have more things..."

"Thank you sir..." Xiaoling wiped away tears.

Xiao He said at this time: "My lord, Xiao He wrongly blamed you and said bad things about you before, please don't plan. Sister Xiao Ling is a buried genius, and she can definitely become a spiritual planter..."

The three of them let go of their knots, and went to Zangshu Pavilion together. On the way, Xiaohe talked about the past.It turned out that in the morning, she took Xiaoling to see the new spiritual planter, but she didn't expect that handsome guy to be the one who killed Xiaoling's mother.Xiao Linghong came back with an eye, and then the steward of Ling Zhitang happened to see Xiao He, and sent her to Shangguan Bofei as a maid.

Xiao He frowned, thinking about it, so she refused on the grounds that she was a maid sent by the Spirit Pet Hall to take care of the soul pet. Just in time, she met Ganoderma lucidum who came to meet her lover privately, and was told by the other party. So he forced her to report to Shangguan Bofei.This Ganoderma lucidum was originally a member of the Dan Pavilion with Brother Can, and they matched men and women, and they were not tired of working, so they gradually fell in love with each other, but Brother Can's hands and feet were not clean. Let's go, but Brother Chan is the nephew of the steward of Lingzhi Church, and the steward Gongye made a lot of pleadings to get the deacon to ignore the matter, but the medicine servant couldn't do it, so he was sent back to Lingzhi Church, Manage slave labor working in a spiritual field.

Because this matter has something to do with Xiao Ling, Xiao He has always been at odds with Ling Zhi, and Ling Zhi doesn't like her.This time, Lingzhi said that she didn't know the status, and even manipulated her status, so Xiao He was annoyed, and she started arguing with her.

Gu Xiaopu asked: "Then what are your plans now?"

"Of course it's delayed, what else can I do, but when my sister becomes a spiritual planter, I can apply to be transferred to her as a maid. Thank you, sir, for helping my sister."

Gu Xiaopu thought to himself, this is not bad, but he did a good deed unintentionally.

At this time, Xiaoling said: "My lord, here we are, the Zangshu Pavilion is in front of us."

Gu Xiaopu saw a place surrounded by rockeries and flowing water in front of him, and there was a tall tower standing in it, surpassing the buildings, standing majestically, with carved beams and painted buildings, full of brilliance.From a distance, you can see a bead on the top of the Zangshu Pavilion, which is puffing out clouds. When Gu Xiaopu wanted to take a closer look, a voice suddenly called from the side: "Xiaoling, why are you here?"

"Xiao Shao, is that you? Why are you here?"

A woman in yellow approached gracefully, stepped forward and said: "Shaoyao pays respects to Lord Lingzhi, if you are in charge, please go to Lingzhi Hall, if you have something to discuss..."

"Could it be about the question this time?" Xiao He asked.

Xiao Shao heard her words, frowned and remained silent.Xiaoling persuaded; "It must be the matter, my lord, it happens that Lingzhi Hall is not far from here, why don't we go together..."

Shaoyao said: "Sister Xiaoling, don't you have something to do? My lord is a spiritual planter, will the manager still make things difficult for him? Don't worry..."

"Xiao Shao, now the lord has accepted me as a registered disciple." Xiao Ling said.

"Ah?" Shaoyao was taken aback for a moment, then pleaded guilty to Gu Xiaopu, and then said, "My lord, hurry up, I think the manager is in a hurry."

"Okay, Xiaoling and Xiaohe, wait for me under the Library Pavilion!"

Gu Xiaopu has already noted down the location of Zangshu Pavilion.Naturally, they don't need to lead the way.At that time, I will go directly and take them into the library.

When he arrived at the place, he saw towering tall buildings, spirit beasts running around, strange flowers everywhere, and fragrant orchids. Gu Xiaopu couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Then Shaoyao led him to the tallest building and said, "My lord is here!" Waiting for you inside, I am inconvenient to accompany you, the adults just go!"

Gu Xiaopu walked in, pushed open the half-covered mahogany door, and saw a picture of a tiger descending the mountain, hanging on the middle hall.The tiger's eyes in the picture are stern and lifelike. Gu Xiaopu was startled when he heard a shrill voice beside him saying, "It's Gu Xiaopu Lingzhi Master here? Please sit down..."

Gu Xiaopu turned his head to look, but found a pair of tables and chairs on the side, with tea sets on it, the steam was rising slowly, the fragrance of the tea was elegant, and the smell stimulated body fluids.It's just that the person sitting on the left is a bald middle-aged man with thin lips and thin eyes, and fair skin. When he smiled at this moment, his eyes narrowed into a slit.

"Master in charge..."

"Don't talk about business today, let's drink tea, sit, sit."

Gu Xiaopu also didn't know how to be modest, so he sat down on the right side and asked, "Is your lord looking for me because of the examination papers?"

"Young people do things neatly. However, let's talk about the examination papers later. Today I just want to see who the genius Lingzhi teacher brought by Elder Bodhizi is. When you registered in Lingzhi Hall, I I am listening to the teachings of Elder Shangguan in Dan Pavilion, so I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I never thought that Xiao Pu, you are so beautiful, no wonder others are jealous and slander you, and even want to fight you, how is your injury?”

"It's a mediocrity not to be envied by others. Do you have anything else to do, sir? If there is nothing else, I will leave."

"Young people are boring. The exam papers are nothing more than finding the questions that have been considered over the years. Copy here and there. It's not difficult. I don't know what kind of relationship you have with Bodhizi Elder. I heard the rumors from outsiders. , are you a lay relative of Elder Bodhizi? I don’t know if this is true..."

"No."

"Xiao Pu, have you ever been married?"

"Never."

Gong Yefa squinted his eyes, picked up the tea bowl, skimmed off the tea foam from the bowl lid, and said unhurriedly, "Tsk tsk tsk, your current situation is very dangerous!"

Gu Xiaopu was vigilant, and asked out doubts.

"You know, a lot of people are upset with you and think you've taken their place."

"Isn't it just the exam paper?"

"You said it lightly, but over the years, this examination paper has been studied by several recognized best spiritual planters. Now the elder Bodhizi has made a decision and handed it over to a second-level spiritual planter. Do it, I don’t know how many people will be jealous..."

"Excellence is not good, it is not said, it is done."

"I heard that you were injured, Xiao Pu, not long ago? How is it now? Will it delay the writing of the question?"

"No! I already have a draft." Gu Xiaopu said, but he was very puzzled.

Gong Yefa took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl and said, "It's your fate that Elder Bodhizi values ​​you. However, this kind of fate is not the only one in this world. I think you and I are more like Xiaopu. If you are willing to follow me, I can personally teach you how to deal with this errand, do you know how dangerous your current situation is, without a strong backing, it is simply unsustainable..."

Just as he was speaking, Gong Yefa stretched out his hand.

boom!
Gu Xiaopu turned his face in anger, and slapped the teacup on the table, causing the teacup to fall over.

"You are an old man who doesn't cultivate, what kind of thing are you, and you come to covet me? You don't look in the mirror yourself, thinking that I'm a rough man in the mountains, so you threatened me? Shameless!"

Gu Xiaopu stood up suddenly, kicked the seat away, pointed at him and cursed: "You old bastard, I am ashamed to be with you. If you know good and bad, cooperate well. If you don't, I will definitely find Ge Shou Bodhi Elder Zi, report this matter to him and tell him to share it with you!"

After finishing speaking, Gu Xiaopu turned around and left, closing the door behind him with a bang.
