Chapter 1997: The Monk and the Corrupt Scholar

Xiao Hua took a look with interest, stretched out his hand and put the star card in his hand into the rabbit's mouth, "Squeak..." The rabbit seemed to be shouting, retracting his head, "squeaking" the vermilion palace door slowly. Slowly opening it, there is a room about one foot in size in front of you. When the rabbit shrank its head, Xiao Hua didn't feel any mana fluctuations. It seemed to be a kind of... mechanism technique.

Seeing the door open, Xiao'e bowed again and said: "Senior, please!"

Xiao Hua nodded and walked into the room, but he saw that the room was very clean. Except for the door he came in from, there was a window on the opposite side. Next to the window is a desk and a chair. On the table are placed some four treasures of the study, a plate of spiritual fruits, and a jade plate with a wine bottle and a wine glass inside.

"Senior, please sit down!" Xiao'e walked to the window and asked Xiao Hua to sit down. She carefully picked up the jug and poured a glass of jade-like spirit wine and said with a smile, "This is Yun'e Ji from my Star-Zhaing Tower. It can be regarded as a hidden immortal." Seniors, please taste the famous wine in mainland China!”

"That's all~" Xiao Hua waved his hand, "I don't like spiritual wine, so I'll give these spiritual wines to you! I'd better try these spiritual fruits!"

"Hehe, thank you, senior!" Xiao'e was very happy. Seeing Xiao Hua pick up a spirit fruit to taste, she put away the jade plate together, then walked to the window and pushed her hand, and the window " It also opened with a "crunch" sound...

"Buzzing..." As the window was opened, an unusually noisy sound rushed in from the window, and even a slightly scorching breath came in.

"Oh?" Xiao Hua was stunned at this kind of worldly noise. It seemed like something he hadn't experienced in a long time. Xiao Hua stood up unconsciously and looked out the window.

Xiao'e looked at Xiao Hua very considerately. Although he couldn't see Xiao Hua's expression, Xiao Hua's stasis when he turned his head immediately aroused her alert, and he hurriedly said: "Senior, if you feel noisy, the slave family will suppress all noises!"

"No need!" Xiao Hua said with a smile, "Since you have such considerations in the Star Reaching Tower, there must be someone who likes this kind of fun, and I will join in the fun!"

"Yes. Senior, if you feel something is inappropriate, you can tell me immediately!" Xiao'e was very happy that she met such a kind senior, and stood beside him with a smile.

Xiao Hua walked to the window, looked out, and saw that it was a huge space, with a bright Milky Way across the sky at the top of the space. Starlights are not flashing in the Milky Way, they are really like the naughty eyes of a child, blinking back and forth from time to time. And around this space, that is, opposite and on both sides of Xiao Hua, there are circles of star patterns overflowing like water waves. Every starlight and dark place should be a monk participating in the bidding meeting! Because there is more or less some sound in every starlight. There was even a lot of discussion where many star patterns were connected together.

What Xiao Hua didn't understand at first was,

These circles of star patterns range from bright to dim, and are extremely layered, as if the starlight near you is already so bright! But in a moment, Xiao Hua already knew that the brightness of these star patterns should be related to the star cards. The area where the monk holding the One-Chen Star Card is should be dimmer. If it is a monk like me who is holding the Three-Chen Star Card, it should be brighter, right?

Everything is RoyaltonMobil. Compared with the previous star palace, it is even more unforgettable. However, in these misty illusions, there are some bald heads and white beards... that are particularly eye-catching.

"Are these monks from the Buddha Sect?" Xiao Hua looked at them and asked with a smile.

Xiao'e took a look and nodded: "These are all monks practicing in the nearby temple of Tongzhu Kingdom! And those old men in Confucian clothes are also corrupt Confucians from nearby Tongzhu Kingdom!"

"Oh? Are they here...also bidding? Why don't they wear masks?" Xiao Hua was a little puzzled, because these monks in monk's robes did not seem to have very high cultivation, and the old men were even panting. He doesn’t look like a Confucian cultivator at all!

"Hehe" Xiao'e laughed, "Of course those monks came to participate in the bidding, but they only bid for Buddhist relics and ignored all the exercises and Buddhist utensils, so they didn't have to hide anything! But those rotten Confucians ...They are just here to cause trouble. Since they are not bidding...it seems they don’t have to hide their true colors, right?”

"Oh? Making trouble?" Xiao Hua asked strangely, "They don't have the power to restrain a chicken, so what trouble can they make?"

"Senior will know in a moment!" Xiao'e actually pretended to be quiet and said with a pursed smile, "Look, except for you seniors who hold the Three-Chen Star Card in their hands, everyone else has their own room. There is no room, so we sit together with others. There are so many people, even some who are independent and unwilling to wear masks, but they all wear them for the beautiful scenery of Mingyue Palace, but these people... are really annoying, the good-looking Xinghe Beautiful scenery, and a lot of bald white flies!”

"Ahem..." Xiao Hua coughed and said displeasedly, "Everyone has their own ideas, and they also follow the rules of the Star Reaching Tower. As for whether to wear a mask or not, it is their own business. These masters of the Buddha Sect In order to welcome the Buddhist disciples' relics back to the sect, how can you insult them casually? Even if they... may have some troublemaking ideas, they are still old enough to be your grandfathers. You are so sharp-tongued, don’t you feel guilty?”

When Xiao'e heard this, her expression changed sharply. Maybe she didn't have so much filth in her heart. She just followed Xiao Hua's words and even meant to please Xiao Hua. But she didn't expect that she would actually backfire. With a "pop", before Xiao Hua could say another sentence, Xiao'e entered and knelt on the ground, kowtowing: "Senior, it's all Xiao'e's fault. Please forgive me, senior!"

"Hey, get up!" Xiao Hua hurriedly lifted Xiao'e up with a flick of his sleeves, and sighed, "Don't think too much, I don't have any other intention, I just think you should be more aware of respecting the elderly. There is no reason to do this just to please the distinguished guests. Broken my moral integrity!"

"Yes, the Nu family doesn't want to do that either, but the Nu family is just a disciple waiting for distinguished guests..." Xiao'e lowered her head and replied with some resentment.

"Stop talking!" Xiao Hua said with a smile, "Tell me, what is a rotten scholar?"

"Of course rotten Confucians are pedantic Confucians!" Xiao'e blinked her eyes. Although she was very curious, she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She replied calmly, "They are those bookworms. They only know how to read and don't know how to adapt. I don’t understand the world, so I’m called a rotten scholar!”

"Are these old men with white beards all nerds?" Xiao Hua naturally knew what it meant to be unsophisticated, but he didn't expect these nerds to have such an elegant name.

Xiao'e's heart became lively again, and she said with a smile: "Actually, simple bookworms are not considered rotten Confucians. Sometimes some Confucian scholars who study hard will come to Zhaixing Tower. They are quite cute, but most of them are indifferent to worldly affairs. They are unsophisticated. But these old... rotten Confucians are really pedantic. They only know how to use the dogma in the book to trick people. They just stick to the rules. They think this is not good and that is not good either! Female disciples should kneel down and serve them. There is no virtue in a woman’s lack of talent. There should be no female disciples in Zhaixing Tower at all except getting married and having children..."

"Hahaha~ I understand~" Xiao Hua smiled, and finally understood why Xiao'e was so disdainful of these so-called old fools, "I just wrongly blamed you! What this person said... is indeed very annoying!"

"That's right!" Xiao'e also smiled happily, "Looking at your old man's appearance... you are not a corrupt scholar!"

"Sweet, I really want to become a corrupt scholar!" Xiao Hua said with a smile, "It's a pity that I haven't read a lot of poems and books, and I don't have the knowledge to learn a lot of things. Even if I want to get some dogma and apply it to people, I can't!"

"Hehe, if it's like the old scholar who reads the book, he reads the book into the dog's belly..." At this point, Xiao'e was shocked again, knowing that she had said the wrong thing, and she couldn't read it if she peeked at it. Qing Xiaohua's expression concealed it again, "It is true that he is a well-known scholar. Although he is well-read in poetry and books, and can write poems that shake the wind and rain, and make poems that weep ghosts and gods, he will not rely on his old age to show off his old age..."

"When..." Just when Xiao'e was afraid that Xiao Hua would get angry and tried her best to remedy the situation, she heard a clear bell ringing outside the window. Not only did this sound cover up all the noise at once, but also the irritating heat that filled the space was swept away!

"Senior, the bidding meeting has begun! If you have anything to bid for, you can tell me!" Xiao'e breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly.

Xiao Hua has participated in many bidding meetings, but where has he ever been treated like this? He doesn't need to know how to bid, he just needs to tell Xiao'e. It's so easy! Xiao Hua nodded slightly and smiled casually: "Then there is Miss Lao Xiao'e!"

"Don't dare!" Xiao Hua's seemingly ordinary words immediately relaxed Xiao'e's tense heartstrings.

Xiao Hua didn't pay attention, he just looked out the window and saw a burst of star patterns flashing in the center of the space, and a fist-sized brilliance emerged out of thin air. It's just that this brilliance is too brilliant, a beat is like a heartbeat, dazzling Xiao Hua slightly! That is to say, when Xiao Hua looked carefully again, your brilliance had turned into three light groups, and expanded rapidly, but in a moment, it had become three three-color light groups of different shapes. "Wow..." The sound of huge water waves suddenly filled the entire space, and three strands of aqua-blue brilliance emerged from the edges of the three light groups, rushing to the center like huge waves, where the brilliance just emerged Right on the top of the wave, a small boat that everyone was sitting on flew out of the current! A handsome Confucian scholar with a folding fan in his hand stood on it with a peaceful expression! (To be continued.
