Chapter 524 Detention
Chapter 524: Stay
"Okay!" The boss advised Ruliu: "Since Erlong Village has discovered our existence, we should not stay here for a long time! Everyone, thank you for your hard work, let's set off overnight! Alas, it's a pity that the hidden stake set up by Master Miao twenty years ago was exposed before it even took effect..."
"Boss, why are you still called 'Zhengma Miao'?" The rat-bearded man no longer worried about his own safety issues and began to take revenge on his boss: "Miao Yue'er should be called 'Zhengma Elder'..."
"Shut up!" A middle-aged man who looked like a fisherman said furiously: "Flying Squirrel, how can you call the leader's name directly?"
The rat-bearded man was slightly stunned, blinked his small eyes, and said a little embarrassedly: "Old Zhou, I was a temporary slip of my tongue, don't take it to heart..."
The boss also made a statement to smooth things over: "Yes, Lao Zhou, you also know that Xiao Mouse is absolutely foul. He often doesn't know what he says, so don't be as good as him... But you should change your words, the current leader is Yang..."
Lao Zhou raised his head and announced loudly with a very revolutionary martyrdom: "In my heart, the leader of the Cainu Sect will always be the surname 'Miao'!"
The boss, the rat-bearded man and others looked at each other for a while before saying, "Old Zhou, I know you are very loyal to Elder Miao, but you also have to recognize the reality. Don't be held by someone because of your quick speech. Then you won't have the best fruit of yours..."
"Yes!" Qiankun of Xiuli also advised: "Old Zhou, don't be upset for Elder Miao! The position of this leader was not usurped by Master Yang, but passed down by Elder Miao on her own initiative..."
Old Zhou snorted and said indignantly: "Master Miao is doing well, why should I pass the throne? Who knows if there is anything wrong with this..."
"Don't you know?" The boss was a little surprised and then said relievedly: "It's no wonder you. After all, you have been staying here as a fisherman for years... Let me tell you, Elder Miao resigned because of the blame!"
"What?" Old Zhou asked in disbelief: "What mistake did the leader make? He actually needs to resign from his position as leader to atone for his sins?"
"It was not the leader who made the mistake, but her only disciple!" The boss explained: "Elder Miao resigned from the position of leader at the suggestion of the elder deacons!"
"Isn't the disciple of the leader a saint?" Lao Zhou's doubts deepened: "With respect for the status of the 'saint', what kind of behavior can be called a 'crime', and it is even so serious that it will involve the leader?"
The boss, Xiu Li Qiankun and others sighed at the same time, without saying a word.
Lao Zhou thought about it, his face changed color, and hesitatedly asked: "Is it... Is the saint already unclean?"
The boss smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "There is no explanation for what the specific crime is. However, there is no possibility of convicting the saint and implicating the leader's crime except the kind you think!"
After knowing the seriousness of the matter, Lao Zhou's face turned pale as paper and asked, "How are the leader and the saint now?"
"It is said that the saint is under the protection of a powerful figure, and even the leader of the Sect Yang dare not ask for someone from him! Elder Miao joined the elder deacon group after abdicating. It is said that he will be responsible for sorting out various classics in the sect..."
"It's okay, it's okay..."
"Okay!" A slender man smiled and said, "Don't ask about the inner sect's affairs, we outer sect's disciples, as it would be useless if we ask! Let's just say the matter that is about us at the moment..."
"Didn't the boss say that he would take it away overnight?"
"I'm not talking about this." The slender man shook his head and said, "Boss, how should I deal with the little face Fei Shu said? Ignore it?"
"Uh...what do you ask him for doing?" The boss was quite surprised by the inquiry raised by his slender companion.
"Didn't Master Yang have an explanation, saying that he would do his best to recruit idle masters in the martial arts world. That little face might be a newborn boy who made his debut. As long as he uses a little trick, he might be able to join our Cainu Sect!"
"Well..." Qiankun nodded repeatedly: "Boss, what Xiao Wu said makes sense! There are not many masters who can resist the two dragons and one owl like a young man. We really shouldn't have let him go!"
The boss shook his head and said, "It's too early to talk about recruitment before finding out the details."
"You can try to get in touch..."
"Okay! Send two people to stare at him..." The boss made a decision a little impatiently, not wanting that some trivial matters would be said to everyone, "Have you finished cleaning up? Don't delay, hurry up and retreat..."
"Boss Lin, I'm familiar with the local area here. Leave the task of keeping people in sight!"
"Old Zhou, you...well, be careful!"
As Miao Caiyun guessed, the people from Erlong Village did not come to disturb Leit and the others' peace, and spent the night safely.
However, no one disturbs it does not mean that no one pays attention to their actions.
Early in the morning, Leth and his friends were about to take a boat to leave Dongshan Island and go to the location of the Cainu Cultivation Headquarters. However, after arriving at the dock, the boat owner told him that the ship was broken and he could not travel.
Looking at the boatman's wry smile and apologized, Leit also knew that some factors in the Erlong Village might be mixed with. However, there was no direct evidence, so he couldn't get angry at Erlong Village. As for the boatman, Leit had no reason to attack them.
After asking about the several boats on the dock, they all regretfully said that they could not send Leth and the others off the island.
According to Lei Te's nature, he wanted to stay and deal with Erlong Village to see what methods they had. However, under Miao Caiyun's eyes full of hope and prayer, he finally compromised. He temporarily placed Erlong Village aside, with off-island as the top priority.
Although Taihu Lake is run by Erlongzhai, the Cainu Cult has been passed down for thousands of years nearby. The foundation is not comparable to Erlongzhai, which has a century of history. Even if the big moves are not easy to do, it is still not difficult to "small moves" like dispatching a ship!
Miao Caiyun, who consciously "owed" Reit, knew that the boat would take two hours to arrive, so she took Reit to visit Dongshan Island, which could barely be called "original".
If there are two hours, I may not be able to see any scenery for others, but for Leit and Miao Caiyun, it is not a problem. With their innate masters, two hours are enough to surround Dongshan Island, and there is plenty of time to linger in the scenic area.
The beliefs of the locals are very complex. Almost all the legendary Lake Fairy Lake monsters, water ghosts and water monsters in Taihu Lake have ancestral halls and believers. Moreover, the incense seems to be pretty good. Along the way, Leth and the others have not seen any place that is deserted.
It is puzzling why this "feudal superstition" that should have been popular in closed and backward areas is popular in economically developed areas like Taihu.
However, Rett himself is a living Buddha, and the incense he possesses is far from comparable to those of believers. He has never gone in to worship and observe. His interest is the scenery of the lake island.
Dongting Mountain is originally named Moli Mountain or Kenmu Mountain. It is actually not high, with an altitude of only 500 meters. The main peak is called Moli, and its branches extend to form many small peaks. The slightly famous ones include hibiscus, lotus pan, iron crutch, green snail, rice stone peak, etc. The valley formed in the peak is called "wu", with about 60 places of all sizes. It is said that Erlongzhai is located in one of them.
Because of limited time, it is impossible for Letter and others to visit the mountains and rivers of Dongshan Island, so they only choose the relatively famous places to visit.
The roads around the mountains run through the villages on the foothills and lakesides. The terrain is undulating, with fields and fruit forests scattered, lush forests and bamboos dotted. People walk around and meet a few villagers from time to time, and occasionally encounter some backpackers.
Although Dongshan Island was not included in the development blueprint of Taihu Tourism Group due to Erlongzhai, its infrastructure construction itself does not lag behind anywhere. Judging from the dress and expressions of the villagers, their lives should also be in the category of wealth.
As he climbed a ridge, Leth's eyes lit up, the sun shone brightly, the water waves were shining, the fishing boats in the lake, and the birds soared in the sky, as if he was in a picture. This beautiful scenery made his slightly depressed mood suddenly open up.
"Thunder, this place is so beautiful!" Perhaps because I appreciate it with the loved ones in my heart, Miao Caiyun felt that this landscape was particularly wonderful.
Lei Qi nodded, then looked up at the northwest Moli Peak. He chuckled: "It is said that those who come to visit the East Mountain must climb the Moli Peak, otherwise it will be in vain. Just like traveling to the West Mountain, you have to work hard to climb the Piaomiao Peak..."
Miao Caiyun said excitedly: "Then let's go!"
"No, wait a little longer!"
"What are you waiting for?" Miao Caiyun was slightly surprised.
Looking down at the mountain, Rett smiled evilly and said, "Wait for them..."
Chapter completed!
