"Brother Zhou Yuan, I couldn't find you when I returned to Xiangguo Temple. I was so anxious.”
Hua Xiaolan heaved a sigh of relief. She had been looking for Zhou Yuan for the entire afternoon and had almost reported it to the authorities.
The abbot Sanzang was also relieved and asked,
"Zhou Yuan, where have you been all day?”
Zhou Yuan answered honestly,
"I sold a glass orb and earned some money. Then, I went shopping and bought some items.”
"Zhou Yuan, where did you get your glass orbs?”The abbot Sanzang was somewhat curious.
He heard that only Westerners could make glass.
"Back in Huazhai Village, I had nothing to do, so I made it myself.”
Zhou Yuan said truthfully. Hua Xiaolan was also very clear about this matter, but she did not know that the glass orbs were very valuable.
Tang Xiaolong was shocked when he heard the words 'glass orb'.
"Big Brother Yuan, you actually know how to make Glass Orbs!”
As the son of the Kaifeng magistrate, he knew that the manufacture of glass was monopolized by Westerners and was very expensive.
The glasses he wore were made of glass and cost him a few hundred taels of silver.
"Brother Yuan, can you teach me?"
Tang Xiaolong suddenly became humble and wanted to ask Zhou Yuan for advice.
Other than literature, Tang Xiaolong was most interested in science.
"I feel that making glass is much more practical than learning martial arts.”
He was a science worshiper who didn't believe in ghosts and gods.
"Not for now." Zhou Yuan rejected.
Tang Xiaolong was a little disappointed, but he was still very interested in the method of making glass.
"Alright, children, we're going back to Shaolin Temple.”
The abbot Sanzang interrupted their conversation.
This trip to Kaifeng was about to end.
"Abbot Sanzang, tomorrow morning is the release of the results for the academy examinations. We can wait until noon tomorrow before returning to Shaolin Temple.”
Tang Xiaolong was a little carried away and said,
"I'm sure that not only can I become a scholar, but I'll also be the champion of this year's academy examinations. All the scholars will be envious of me!”
Sanzang nodded in agreement and said,
"Alright, we'll stay another night and go back tomorrow afternoon.”
Tang Xiaolong immediately invited,
"Stay at my house tonight. You must have never stayed at the official residence of the Kaifeng magistrate.”
Abbot Sanzang drove the carriage, carrying Zhou Yuan and the other two to the official residence.
On the way, Tang Xiaolong enthusiastically introduced every shop and scenery on the street.
However, it sounded like he was showing off his knowledge.
"Xiaolong, what does this Happy Red Courtyard do?”
Hua Xiaolan was still very curious about this place.
"Inside…"
Tang Xiaolong was speechless for a moment because he had never been there before.
"Children, change the topic. This place is not suitable for you.”The abbot Sanzang said.
After a while, the carriage passed by a villa.
"Look at this. I know this place. This is a famous haunted house in Kaifeng Prefecture!”
Tang Xiaolong introduced,
"This house should have been empty since I was born. It has been more than ten years, but no one dares to live in it. It is said that it will be haunted at night.”
"But I don't think this makes sense! If it wasn't for the seal on the door, I would have gone inside to prove that there are no ghosts in this world!”
This house was the villa that Zhou Yuan bought in the afternoon.
"Xiaolong, you're talking nonsense. There's no seal on the door of this house. There's a copper lock on it.”Hua Xiaolan noticed the details.
"Could it be that someone bought this house again?”Tang Xiaolong said in surprise,
"I'm sure that the person who bought this house must be a wise man who believes in science. I'll definitely pay him a visit in the future!”
Zhou Yuan could not help but smile when he heard Tang Xiaolong's words.
On the other hand, the abbot Sanzang was a little surprised. He muttered to himself,
"It's really strange. The Yin Qi in this haunted house seems to have disappeared.”
A few years ago, the government had invited him to this haunted house to suppress the evil.
However, the abbot Sanzang did not find where the ghost was hiding, so he did not succeed.
Unexpectedly, the Yin Qi in the haunted house had disappeared!
"Could it be that an expert has been here?"
The abbot Sanzang was only surprised, but he didn't care too much.
In this vast world, there were still many experts who were more powerful than him.
Arriving at the official residence,
After a sumptuous dinner,
They went back to their rooms to sleep.
Zhou Yuan gave Hua Xiaolan the Green Python Whip he had bought today.
Hua Xiaolan was pleasantly surprised to see this exquisite whip.
She had always wanted a whip weapon of her own, but she didn't have the money to buy it. She didn't expect it to come true tonight.
However, Hua Xiaolan did not dare to accept it. Instead, she asked for the price first.
"Brother Zhou Yuan, how much did you spend on this whip?”
"Three thousand taels." Zhou Yuan answered truthfully.
Instantly,
Hua Xiaolan was petrified and stood rooted to the ground!
Her mouth was wide open, wide enough to fit an egg.
She could not believe her ears.
Three thousand taels!
His scalp went numb!
This was an astronomical figure that she did not even dare to imagine.
It was too terrifying!
A whip was actually worth three thousand taels!
Everyone was scared silly.
"Brother Zhou Yuan…Return this whip!”
Hua Xiaolan's face turned red. She didn't dare to accept such a precious gift. It was beyond her knowledge.
Three thousand taels was enough to live a wealthy life.
This money should be saved!
Zhou Yuan looked at the innocent Hua Xiaolan and pulled her hand. He placed the whip in her hand and said,"
"Xiaolan, this weapon suits you very well.”
" But, but…" Hua Xiaolan stuttered as she held the expensive Green Python Whip.
Zhou Yuan stuck out his finger and covered her mouth."No buts. It's late at night. Go back to your room and rest.”
After saying that, Zhou Yuan closed the door and returned to his room.
Hua Xiaolan, on the other hand, had been lying on the bed for the entire night with the Green Python Whip in her hand.
"Brother Zhou Yuan has treated me so well. I must master a peerless martial art and protect him from all dangers.”
Hua Xiaolan was very encouraged. She didn't sleep the entire night and practiced Lotus Flower Technique.
By the next morning, her strength had improved by leaps and bounds.
The Lotus Flower Technique of the Zen Sect had reached the Initial Stage!
In the interior,
The orchid rooted in his dantian had already grown nine inches taller.
The pink and white orchid bloomed slightly, looking like a shy young girl.
As the Lotus Flower Technique reached the initial level, Hua Xiaolan's strength also took a big step forward.
The true qi in his body was even more distant and long.
The life force released by the orchid nourished her flesh and skin.
Her already delicate skin was even more watery.
Her body even emitted a faint orchid fragrance.
