There is no hope for Taihao Taoist Temple. Except for Xiao Yang, no one has come to recruit Gu Wuyou. All signs indicate that Gu Wuyou, who offended Elder Ma, has already given up his career, and his chances of becoming a monk are slim.

So, does Gu Wuyou regret it?

Seeking truth from facts, it is indeed a bit.

He dared to reject Ma Chengfeng because he felt that there were so many sects in Middle-earth, his talent was excellent, and there were other opportunities.

The current result was something Gu Wuyou didn't expect.

However, if he could do it over again, he would choose Li Bai...what the hell! He doubted that he would still make the same choice. He couldn't explain the reason, it was just an intuition.

Of course, gods can't make a regret medicine, so it's too late to say anything now.

Gu Wuyou waved: "Let's go back to the inn."

What should I do next? Should I travel around the world trying to find a way to become a monk, or should I simply grit my teeth and become a self-taught person? That is a matter for the future. For now, it is only right to go back to the inn to rest and recuperate. Taoist examinations are really harmful to people's physical and mental health.

Small.

The four of them walked forward in silence for a while.

Lu Xuan suddenly said: "Xiao Gu, why?"

Gu Wuyou: "Why? This has no beginning or end."

"Elixir, why don't you want it?" Lu Xuan looked confused, "Doesn't this fit your personality?"

Gu Wuyou was happy: "What is my character?"

"The protagonist's native entourage is greedy for money and has no integrity. His eyes light up when he sees money. He wants money at the expense of his life."

"First, you are not the protagonist. Second, I have never admitted that I am your follower. Third, I throw moral integrity everywhere because if I didn't find a way to find money, we would have starved to death a few months ago.

There is no way to reach Yujing City."

"Then why don't you throw it away today?"

Gu Wuyou was silent for a moment and said sarcastically: "After all, Pindao is the current head of the Shenxu Sect. In front of so many monks inside and outside the Taoist temple, it's a bit hard to ignore..."

Lu Xuan rolled his eyes: "Okay, I understand, you are being pretentious again."

Gu Wuyou: "I don't want to be pretentious. It's just because the old master is too good at brainwashing. In short, don't mention this matter again. We can make the money ourselves."

Lu Xuan: "The money earned is also made by the time traveler."

Gu Wuyou's face turned red.

At this moment, a servant dressed in green clothes and a small hat rushed over in a panic. Seeing Shangguan Yi's face lit up, he couldn't help but kneel down in front of everyone.

Gu Wuyou was startled.

Shangguan Yi walked to the front and frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The servant hissed: "Oh no, Miss Sun, something happened in the house! The eldest young master sent a servant to invite the master of the house. The servant is worried about how to get close to the Taoist temple. I didn't expect you to be here. Please find a way to inform me.

Master!"

The gate of Tahoe Taoist Temple is not accessible to everyone.

Under normal circumstances, the servants are not helpless. At worst, they can shout from a distance for Shangguan Yun to hear.

But today happens to be a special situation. The annual entrance examination of Taihao Taoist Temple. Who dares to be presumptuous in the presence of monks and even elders? To say the least, even if the servants risk being killed and alarm Shangguan Yun, the latter will

It is difficult to escape from the monastery.

When the assessment is in progress, how can the lead guard who is responsible for guarding the gate leave the venue without permission?

Shangguan Yi understood this very well, thought about it and said, "It's useless to inform grandpa, he can't get away. Tell me first, what's going on at home?"

Servant: "A monk is coming to the house."

The four people were startled at the same time.

The visit of a monk is indeed a big event for any family, and it is normal for the servants to panic. The problem is that this situation is actually very rare, and monks generally do not hang out in wealthy families. Perhaps the top two wealthy families can receive monks several times a year.

But for an underdeveloped family like the Shangguan family, this kind of thing basically doesn't happen.

Shangguan Yi asked: "Which sect are the monks from?"

The servant smiled bitterly: "Who dares to ask!"

"That's true." Shangguan Yi nodded, "Grandpa can't return home for the time being, so how about you wait outside the Taoist temple and look for an opportunity to inform him. I'll go home and take a look now."

Shangguan Yun intends to train Shangguan Yi to be the next generation head of the family. Everyone in Shangguan Mansion knows that Shangguan Yi also demands the same from herself. Although she is unqualified for her irritable behavior, her grandfather cannot leave, so it is reasonable for her to come forward to receive guests.

As a result, the servant didn't get up at all.

"Miss Sun, I haven't finished speaking yet!" the servant said with a grimace, "That monk is not here as a guest."

"Um?"

"As soon as she arrived, she couldn't help but arrest Master Rui, and she even said she wanted to destroy the whole family in Shangguan Mansion!"

Shangguan Yi was shocked!

When the monk said he would kill everyone, he was definitely not trying to scare people.

Gu Pan's face was pale, and Gu Wuyou's expression was solemn. Lu Xuan was relatively calm. It was not that she was heartless, but as an outsider, even if she had seen the monk's superiority with her own eyes, it was still difficult to understand the horror of this threat.

"How could this happen...I...I'll go back right now."

Shangguan Yi was confused and panicked.

Such shocking news as the family being wiped out would have caused the worldly Shangguan Yun to panic, let alone the young Shangguan Yi.

Gu Pan grabbed Shangguan Yi: "Yier, you can't go back!"

Going back would mean death, because not to mention Shangguan Yi, Shangguan Yun couldn't stop a monk from taking action.

"My parents are both at home, I must go back." Shangguan Yi broke away from Gu Pan's hand.

"Brother!" Gu Pan looked at Gu Wuyou.

In her mind, the only person who can convince Shangguan Yi at this moment is probably Gu Wuyou. Escape may not be the best choice, and it is also against filial piety, but why bother to die when you know you will die?

Gu Wuyou sighed secretly, the monks were indeed all cancerous.

The seemingly arrogant wealthy family was helpless because a monk appeared out of nowhere and wanted to destroy the whole family. By extension, ordinary people had no choice but to suffer death.

"Escape is not an option." Gu Wuyou said, "Everyone will go back with you and act according to the situation."

"No, I don't agree!" Gu Pan became anxious at that time.

Go back together? Not only will your best friend die, but you will also have to hook up with Gu Wuyou. Brother, are you crazy? I want you to persuade her.

Gu Wuyou: "Xiao Pan, don't be impatient, I know what's going on."

There are so many...that's weird.

Gu Pan didn't believe it at all, because based on her observations these days, her long-lost brother was not a stable master. If nothing else, how could an average person offend an elder-level monk to death in an assessment?

Lu Xuan said: "What Xiao Gu means is that you can try to reason with the other party."

Gu Pan laughed angrily: "Do you believe this?"

Even the flustered Shangguan Yi actually disagreed. How could ordinary people have the qualifications to reason with the monks? But she was at a loss, and deep down she longed for someone to help her make up her mind, even if it was a bad idea.

Lu Xuan said seriously: "I believe it, why don't you believe it?"

Gu Wuyou: "Xiao Pan, you don't understand. What Lu Xuan means is that although monks are arrogant, as long as their practice concepts come from the Tao Te Ching, they will not be completely unreasonable."

Lu Xuan clapped his hands: "The one who knows me is Xiao Gu."

For such a "professional" topic, Shangguan Yi, who is not a Taoist priest and has not read Tao Zang's Gu Pan, naturally has no right to speak. In addition, Lu Xuan and Gu Wuyou successively explained to each other. Normally, Shangguan Yi would be very unhappy, but now they have

Can't care anymore.

Gu Pan no longer objected, although he still disagreed in his heart.

The four people hurried back to Shangguan Mansion and went straight to the living room of the main courtyard, where Shangguan's family usually receives guests.

Gu Wuyou stepped into the room first, and immediately saw Ying Ying sitting in the guest seat, drinking tea in her spare time. Then there was Shangguan Xuan who was trembling with sweat on his forehead, and several other people he didn't recognize.

In the corner of the living room, Shangguan Rui was curled up there, not knowing whether to live or die.

Gu Wuyou frowned: "Why is it you?"

"Why can't it be me who's asking this question?" Yingying smiled calmly, "I'm a serious monk, remember?"

Gu Wuyou: "That's what I said, but you already bullied Shangguan Yi last time. You are a monk, so you can't always catch someone tormenting you, right? It would be better this time, directly target her family, and threaten to destroy the family...

...as for what?"

Shangguanxuan winked at Gu Wuyou repeatedly, sweatdrops pouring from his eyes.

Little Ancestor, that's a monk, how dare you speak to him in such a tone? The Shangguan family is in danger, it's already miserable enough, and you just hope to be humble and sincere enough to move the other party to mercy. You actually add fuel to the fire!

Ying Ying glared: "This monk is not as boring as you said."

Gu Wuyou: "However, facts speak louder than words."

Shangguanxuan was completely desperate.

It was obvious that Gu Wuyou ignored his suggestion at all...or it was equivalent to making it clear that Shangguan Xuan did not expect his little actions to be hidden from a monk.
