Chapter 3162

"Could it be … if Changsheng Academy loses, you'll also have to leave Changsheng Town?" Daoist Xiao looked at the scholar, then looked at the fat white monk next to him and asked with a sneer.

Principal Zhu shook his head with a smile. "This bet is between Jiangchao Temple and Xiaojin Temple, it has nothing to do with Changsheng Academy!

Of course, if Jiangchao Temple doesn't agree, then just pretend I didn't say anything! "

Daoist Xiao was very hesitant. Changsheng Academy was different from Xiaojin Temple, it didn't have any direct conflict with Jiangchao Temple. Many scholars even greeted Daoist Xiao politely when they saw him.

Some young scholars even went to Jiangchao Temple when they were watching the tide from the riverside.

Daoist Xiao also knew that Principal Zhu was called Zhu Junfeng, he was very famous in Changsheng Town. Not only were there the heirs of big families in Changsheng Town in the academy, there were also the heirs of ordinary people. Many students within a radius of several hundred li also came to the academy to study.

Although he hadn't seen Zhu Junfeng before, his name was like thunder to his ears. With Zhu Junfeng's participation, he definitely wouldn't be at a disadvantage in the challenge against Xiaojin Temple!

But the problem was that the Changsheng Academy was a real academy and a real Confucian cultivator. Not only was it more powerful than the Daoist School, which pretended to be a sheep's head and dog's meat, but even the Xiaojin Temple couldn't be compared to it. If he played along with these two schools, wouldn't he become the laughing stock of the Immortal and Buddha Ceremony?

However, thinking about Xiaojin Temple's Monk Ming Yue's confidence and the surrounding people's gazes, Daoist Xiao braced himself and said with a fake smile, "Changsheng Town is originally Changsheng Academy and Xiaojin Temple's Changsheng Town. My Jiangchao Temple is just an outsider. Since Changsheng Academy wants to hold an immortal and buddhist ceremony with Xiaojin Temple, why ask Jiangchao Temple?"

"Hehe, does that mean Daoist Xiao agrees?"

Monk Ming Yue was a bit unhappy at first, but after listening for a while, he changed to a smile and asked.

"Does it make a difference whether I agree or not?"

Daoist Xiao rolled his eyes in annoyance. He looked at Xiao Hua and Yuan Ya behind him and said, "However, the rules of this challenge need to be set by Jiangchao Temple!"

"Hehe, Daoist Xiao is overstepping!"

Zhu Junfeng was still indifferent. The feather fan in his hand flickered a few times as he said, "The challenge was issued by the River Tide Temple. The time and location were proposed by the Little Gold Temple. The rules of this challenge will naturally be set by my Longevity Academy!"

"My Jiangchao Temple only has three people!

I'll leave it up to you! "Daoist Master Xiao had no choice but to point out the crux of the matter.

"Don't worry, Daoist Master Xiao. The Longevity Academy will definitely take this into consideration!" Zhu Junfeng nodded and replied.

"Principal Zhu is famous for his impartiality in handling matters!

With Longevity Academy setting the rules, my Little Gold Temple is completely at ease! "Monk Bright Joy agreed with a radiant smile.

"No …" Hearing Zen Master Ming Yue's agreement, Daoist Master Xiao could not take it anymore!

He shook his head vigorously. "The ones making the bet are my River Tide Temple and Small Gold Temple, Changsheng Academy isn't even betting … why do we have to let Changsheng Academy set the rules?"

When Zhu Junfeng heard Daoist Master Xiao mention "betting" and "betting", he couldn't help but frown. He closed the fan in his hand and said, "If that's the case, then the rules … I'll have to trouble the River Tide Temple!"

"Alright …" Zen Master Ming Yue seemed to have a well-thought-out plan. Hearing Zhu Junfeng's agreement, he did not raise any objections and only nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Zhu Junfeng cupped his hands and said, "I'll take my leave first. See you at Small Gold Temple in ten days!"

After saying that, Zhu Junfeng cupped his hands again and turned around to leave.

Zen Master Ming Yue blinked his eyes. Half of the joy from before had disappeared. He turned to look at his two junior brothers behind him. The three of them nodded slightly. Then, without saying goodbye to Daoist Master Xiao, they turned around and returned to Small Gold Temple. It seemed like they attached great importance to this challenge. They didn't even bother with fishing people out and focused all their energy on this matter.

After the Buddhist and Confucian disciples left, the villagers of Longevity Town naturally dispersed as well. However, their faces were filled with excitement as they discussed in low voices.

Obviously, in less than an hour, everyone in Longevity Town would know about the challenge in ten days.

The only one who was depressed was Daoist Master Xiao!

"Whew …" Seeing that the crowd had dispersed, he let out a long sigh and sat down on a chair. He stared at the ground in a daze. There were dozens of ants that had been trampled to death by the crowd. Looking at the position, it seemed to be where Zen Master Ming Yue and the other monks of Small Gold Temple were standing.

After the time it took to finish a meal, Daoist Master Xiao finally straightened up. He looked around at the empty surroundings and snorted coldly. He flung his Daoist robe and said, "Ya, what are you standing there for?

Hurry up and put these things away. "

"Yes, Master!"

Yuan Ya replied. He walked forward and placed the chair on the table. He picked it up with one hand and quickly walked away. It seemed like he was going to return the table and chair.

"Xiao Hua …" Seeing that Yuan Ya had left, Daoist Master Xiao probed, "Can you beat Yuan Ya?"

"Maybe!" Xiao Hua did not deny it. "I've never fought with him before, so I'm not too sure!"

"You … Can you participate in the challenge ten days later?

If you participate, I can consider letting you stay by my side. It can be considered … "Daoist Master Xiao wanted to say something but stopped. He seemed to be probing. He knew that if Xiao Hua could beat Yuan Ya, and if Xiao Hua did not want to participate, he could not do anything to Xiao Hua!

But if Xiao Hua could not beat Yuan Ya, what was the use of Xiao Hua participating?

Moreover, he saw that Xiao Hua had returned, which basically confirmed his guess. However, he was not willing to shed all pretense of cordiality until the last moment.

When Xiao Hua heard this, he could not help but smile. He knew that Daoist Master Xiao was suspecting his origin again, so he shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not a disciple of Jiangchao Temple. Why would I participate in the challenge between Jiangchao Temple and Small Gold Temple?

This has nothing to do with staying by Daoist Master Xiao's side, right? "

"Keep pretending, keep pretending!"

Daoist Master Xiao laughed in his heart and secretly said, "Since you want to pretend, I'll pretend with you. Anyway, I still need your help!

If you can lend this old man a helping hand … then this old man will play with you! "

"Daoist Master Xiao!

Now, it's no longer about the grudge between Jiangchao Temple and Small Gold Temple! "

Since Daoist Master Xiao had decided, his face became serious and said very seriously, "It's about the grudge between my Daoist Sect and Buddhist Sect.

Even mentioning the Immortal Buddha Ceremony that happens once every ten years, it's about the grudge between Daoist Sect, Buddhist Sect, and Confucian Sect.

As a disciple of my Daoist Sect, how can you not participate?

Moreover, my Jiangchao Temple's challenge was defeated. I and Yuan Ya will have to leave Longevity Town. Could it be that fellow Daoist Xiao also wants to leave with us? "

"Who said that I'm a Daoist Sect disciple?" Xiao Hua smiled, touched his nose and said, "It seems like someone said that I'm not worthy to call myself fellow Daoist!"

"Ai, forget it!

You can participate or not! "

Daoist Master Xiao suddenly lost his patience, waved his hand and said, "Your meridians are naturally blocked, you're basically unable to cultivate.

Just relying on your fists and feet, even if you can defeat Yuan Ya, you're still not a match for the true experts of Buddhist Sect and Confucian Sect!

Moreover, looking at that Monk Ming Yue's meaning, three days later, their Buddhist Sect should send an expert to Small Gold Temple!

Otherwise … how would he dare to challenge Yuan Ya? "

"What's the Immortal Buddha Ceremony?

What's the matter with naturally blocked meridians?

How do you know? "Xiao Hua asked several whys in a row.

"How do I know?"

Daoist Master Xiao looked up and down at Xiao Hua and said in a low voice, "A straightforward person doesn't speak insinuations, you don't know how I know?"

"Why do I need to know, how do you know?" Xiao Hua touched his nose and said with interest, "How do I need to know? How do you know?"

"You …" Daoist Master Xiao clenched his teeth, it seems like he's also prepared to pretend to the end with Xiao Hua!

A trace of pride even appeared on his face, "My Daoist Sect's techniques are boundless, finding out that your meridians are blocked is really easy!

It's a pity that you don't cultivate Daoist techniques, you'll never understand in this lifetime!

As for the Immortal Buddha Ceremony … "

Immediately, Daoist Master Xiao controlled his temper and briefly explained the Immortal Buddha Ceremony.

It was vaguely similar to what Zhu Junfeng said. In ancient times, after the Buddhist Sect and Confucian Sect joined forces to exterminate the Daoist Sect, in order to commemorate the alliance of the two sects, they agreed to hold a ceremony every ten years.

This Immortal Buddha Ceremony was considered lively many years ago, Confucian Sect and Buddhist Sect often used this as an opportunity to exchange pointers and cultivate, and even held hundreds of activities to strangle the Daoist Sect.

But later on, as the Daoist Sect disciples disappeared, it gradually became deserted.

Longevity Town was a small town in the Country of Xi. If Zhu Junfeng didn't specifically mention it, who would have thought that ten days later would be the day of the Immortal Buddha Ceremony that was held once every ten years?

After Daoist Master Xiao finished speaking, Yuan Ya also returned.

"Let's go …" Daoist Master Xiao was very dull, as if this conversation with Xiao Hua had completely worn out his patience. He swung his Daoist robe and said, "I'll go back and discuss it!"

"But …" After waiting for Daoist Master Xiao to take two steps, Yuan Ya reminded in a low voice, "Master, the rice and noodles in the temple … I'm afraid there's not enough, this disciple has to go buy some!"

"En, you go and put some on credit …" Daoist Master Xiao very naturally ordered, but when he saw Yuan Ya's awkward expression and his feet that hadn't moved, he helplessly took out a few copper coins from his sleeve and threw them to Yuan Ya, saying, "I only have these copper coins, you go, first deal with tomorrow …"

"Yes, master!" Yuan Ya took the copper coins and turned to leave.

"I'll go!" Xiao Hua hurriedly called out to Yuan Ya, "You've already put them on credit many times, I'm afraid you don't have any face.

You wait here for a moment, I'll go and try! "

"Alright!"

Daoist Xiao nodded his head and signaled Yuan Ya to give the copper coins to Xiao Hua. When Yuan Ya gave the copper coins to Xiao Hua, he unexpectedly took out a cloth bag from his sleeve. Obviously, he had already prepared to go to the rice noodle shop today.

Xiao Hua naturally didn't need the two to wait for long, in just a moment he came back with a small bag of rice.

"So much?"

Looking at the small amount of rice, Daoist Master Xiao was a little surprised, looking at his face and then at Yuan Ya, puzzled, he said, "You don't look as handsome as Yuan Ya, do you?"

"It's not that this Xiao's face is big!" Xiao Hua laughed, "It's that Daoist Master Xiao's face is big!

This Xiao went over and gave the copper coins, saying that Daoist Master Xiao would challenge Xiao Jin Temple and Changsheng Academy in ten days, the rice and noodles shop owner's eyes immediately lit up, and she didn't want this Xiao's copper coins no matter what. She even gave the rice that was just delivered from outside the town to Daoist Master Xiao, clearly saying that she didn't want half a copper coin! "
