Volume 2: Water Moon Cave Chapter 8 Tomorrow at noon, the fifth level of the sect
After noticing the Taoist's lewd gaze and hearing his words, Mu Chunhua knew that it would be impossible to get along with Qinglong Temple this time, so she wanted to teach them a lesson and make them retreat.
Xue Xiuyi and Tie Xiong beside them also held their weapons, ready to take action.
At this time, Su Yan whispered something to Mu Chunhua.
So Mu Chunhua stopped Xue Xiuyi and Tiexiong with a look, then said to the Taoist priest with a smile: "How about this? We will recruit disciples in the city for another morning tomorrow, and then bring the children to visit the temple after we have recruited them.
I just hope that after the Taoist priests have selected the Taoist boys and little nuns from this group of children, they will allow us to take the rest away."
The Taoist priest with a beard narrowed his eyes and smiled. "It seems that you are a sensible person. Well, I will take the initiative and agree to it. But I have to remind you, don't think about running away in the middle of the night. If we find you, we won't be able to talk to you as easily as we do now."
"How could that be? We will never run away."
"Well, then we will come to Qinglong Temple tomorrow afternoon. No delay."
"Tomorrow afternoon? That's a good time. We will definitely be there."
After seeing off these Taoists from Qinglong Temple, Mu Chunhua turned around and came to Su Yan and Su Yi.
"Master, what do you want to do?" She had just heard Su Yan's voice transmission saying that he would pretend to agree to the Taoist's request, and she vaguely guessed Su Yan's thoughts, but she was not sure.
Su Yan sent a message to Su Yi, Wu Yue, and Mu Chunhua: "The Taoist priests from Qinglong Temple don't look like good people. They are openly trying to rob our disciples. What are we going to do with them? Get rid of them."
Although she had guessed it, when she heard Su Yan say this, Mu Chunhua couldn't help but secretly praise the master's domineering attitude, so she nodded and said, "Yes."
Then, just as Mu Chunhua was about to ask about the details of tomorrow's "visit" to Qinglong Temple, she saw Han Qing walking towards her from the group of children.
"Elder, I just heard you say that you would hand us over to the evil people in Qinglong Temple?"
Su Yi and Wu Yue were not as good as Mu Chunhua in dealing with human relationships, so they didn't say anything.
Mu Chunhua smiled and said, "You have a very sharp ear... The Qinglong Temple is a famous sect in Longshan County. Don't you want to go?"
After hearing this, Han Qing thought that Mu Chunhua was really going to hand them over to Qinglong Temple, and said with an unpleasant expression: "Elder, you don't know that the group of people in Qinglong Temple are Taoists on the surface, but they are human traffickers in secret.
I have been in Longshan County for more than two months. Every day I see the Taoist priests of Qinglong Temple using threats and inducements, as well as empty promises, to recruit Taoist boys and nuns. They deceive at least 20 to 30 people a month.
But one time I secretly went to Qinglong Temple to take a look, but I didn't see any Taoist boys or nuns. Where did those people go? They must have been abducted by them!"
Mu Chunhua also realized that the Taoist priests in Qinglong Temple were not good people, but she did not expect that they were a group of human traffickers.
This kind of people are even worse than the lowest class in the underworld, and just like flower thieves, they are almost hated by everyone.
At the same time, Mu Chunhua did not expect Han Qing to have such courage and insight, and could not help but value him even more, so she said seriously: "Don't worry, I won't hand you over to Qinglong Temple. I just pretended to agree to them just now."
"The elder wants to take us away overnight? But I heard that there are many spies from Qinglong Temple in this city, so it may not be easy to leave." Han Qing was a little worried.
Mu Chunhua smiled and said, "We won't leave... We will go to Qinglong Temple as promised at noon tomorrow. Of course, we are not going to hand you over to Qinglong Temple, but to let you watch a good show."
…
The bearded Taoist Wang Ze returned to Qinglong Temple and told the temple master that "Shuiyuedongtian" would visit at noon tomorrow, especially emphasizing the outstanding beauty of Mu Chunhua, Wu Yue and others.
He thought that the abbot, who was also a lustful ghost, would be happy to hear this, but unexpectedly the abbot frowned.
"Didn't I tell you? What we did is shameful. If we met we would have no time to hide. Why did you take the initiative to provoke them?"
Wang Ze laughed and said, "Master, you are too cautious. They are just a few women. How powerful can their martial arts be?
Besides, we have never heard of Shuiyuedongtian, so it must be a low-ranking sect. The strongest among such sects is probably at the sixth level of the acquired realm, just like you. Are you afraid that you can't deal with them with your unique skill of Dragon Claw?"
It turns out that the abbot of Qinglong Temple not only cultivated his Qi to the sixth level of acquired energy, but also mastered a profound martial art called Dragon Grasping Hand, which is why he became the overlord of Longshan County.
The martial arts sects in the world are divided into five categories: top-notch, first-, second-, third-rate, and third-rate, as well as the lowest-rate, a total of five categories.
A third-rate sect must have at least one person with the strength of the seventh level of the acquired realm, and will most likely leave a name in the world.
Although the Qinglong Temple Master had never heard of the name of Shuiyue Cave Heaven, he did not dare to be careless. He frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Go to the Black Tiger Village and tell Liu Heihu that I am willing to pay a thousand taels of silver to ask the heroes of the Black Tiger Village to help me once."
"A thousand taels of silver?" Wang Ze showed a distressed look, "No need? Besides, Liu Heihu's gang is not easy to get along with."
The Qinglong Temple Master scolded, "You know nothing! As long as our business is not lost, one thousand taels is nothing. Go!"
Seeing that the abbot was angry, Wang didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly left.
The abbot of Qinglong Temple came to the terrace of the temple, looked towards Longshan County, and thought: Liu Heihu also has the strength of the sixth level of the acquired realm, and the second and third in command of the Black Tiger Village under him have the strength of the fifth level of the acquired realm, just like Wang Ze.
With the help of dozens of disciples and minions from Qinglong Temple and Black Tiger Village, even if there are one or two people in Shuiyue Cave Heaven with strength above the sixth level of the acquired realm, they will have to admit defeat when they come to Qinglong Temple, right?
As for the fact that Shuiyue Cave Heaven had the eighth or ninth level of the acquired realm or even the innate realm, it was not that he had not thought about it, but he thought it was impossible.
How could a sect with acquired masters possibly exist in a remote place like Longshan?
…
The next morning.
After the news spread last night, many more children came to participate in the test of Shuiyue Cave.
Because there were so many children coming, Mu Chunhua raised the requirements, but still recruited 30 new students before noon.
These children were either orphans or had only brothers and sisters, so Mu Chunhua accepted them all according to Su Yan's instructions.
During lunch time, Mu Chunhua and Wu Yue reported the qualifications of these 60 children to Zhang Yu.
"Master, among these 60 children, there are 12 with excellent physiques , and the rest are also of fair physiques."
Mu Chunhua was very happy. She felt that even though the recruitment of disciples was conducted among refugees, it was a great luck to receive 12 people with excellent physiques.
Wu Yue said: "Master, among these 60 children, only 9 can read, but there are 15 with excellent comprehension, 34 with fair comprehension, and 11 with average comprehension."
Su Yan transmitted his voice: "Although people's comprehension is innate, it can also be improved through acquired training. Even if it is almost there, it is not a big problem... Have the children finished their meals? Is it noon now?"
After hearing Su Yan's change of words and asking this question, Su Yi and the others knew that Su Yan wanted them to go to the appointment at Qinglong Temple.
Su Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, why don't you let Wu Yue and Tie Xiong stay with you in the city, and I will take people to Qinglong Temple to keep the appointment."
"Since Qinglong Temple has spies in the city, if we don't go together, won't they get suspicious? Don't worry too much, let's go together."
After hearing what Su Yan said, Su Yi had no choice but to nod and let Mu Chunhua and Xu Lai invite everyone to leave the city.
Qinglong Temple is located on a small hill one mile south of Longshan County.
Su Yan and others left the city from the west gate, followed a not-too-narrow mountain road, and soon arrived at Qinglong Temple.
It was nearly three quarters past noon, and the front gate of Qinglong Temple was wide open. It was Wang Ze who learned the news in advance and brought more than ten Taoists to greet them outside the front gate.
Seeing that Mu Chunhua came with dozens of children, Wang Ze felt that the temple master was worrying too much.
If the people from Shuiyuedongtian really had bad intentions towards Qinglongguan, why would they bring dozens of children with them?
They probably did this because they really wanted to surrender to Qinglong Temple and let Qinglong Temple select the children they recruited before taking them back.
But these women probably never imagined that the Taoist masters not only covet those children, but also covet their bodies, hehe.
Thinking about the good things to come, Wang Ze became even more enthusiastic. He came to Mu Chunhua and said with a smile, "Haha, your sect is indeed trustworthy. Please come in. My master has been waiting inside for a long time."
