After pondering for a moment, the young disciple said, "It is possible, but the master has never taken me to that place, and I don't know."
He secretly glanced at Mu Yuan and said, "What is this young master here for? I've been with the master for a long time, and I've been immersed in it. I also know some fortune-telling methods. The master hasn't come over yet, so I might be able to help you two tell fortunes." "
"You?" Li Huaiyong looked at this young disciple with questioning eyes.
"I've done it for other people before!" The young disciple was afraid that Li Huaiyun couldn't wait any longer, so he left.
"Then give it a try! I'm the one who counts!"
Marriage? Does this guy have a sweetheart? Mu Yuan was beside him and glanced at him, feeling a little upset.
"Marriage? This..." The young disciple was a little surprised. The two people in front of him came to the temple together. He thought that they were a couple, and they brought other women to count as a marriage. It seemed very strange.
Li Huaiyun saw that the young disciple couldn't understand, so he pointed at Mu Yuan, "That's right, she is my sweetheart. There is a big gap in our identities, but I would not marry her unless she is my wife, but my identity is also restricted by her family." I look down on it and don’t agree with us being together, so I want to figure it out, do we still have a chance? What should we do in the future to be able to be together successfully?"
Mu Yuan was a little surprised by his words. He didn't expect that he would involve her, and he even made up such a reason.
"So that's it." When the young disciple heard these words, he felt a little embarrassed. If it were about other aspects of future, fortune, and money, they could just talk nonsense. But now, their choice determines their whole life. If you say these words rashly, the consequences may be unpredictable.
"Is it difficult?"
"It's very difficult! I need my master to come in person. With my skills, I'm afraid I can't do it!" The young disciple pointed to the side of the door, "I think the master will be here soon. Young Master, you can wait there for a while. .”
"Okay!" Li Huaiyun and Mu Yuan walked towards the fortune-telling booth.
"Tch! You really know how to make up stories. This time, we will become a couple."
Li Huaiyun cupped his fists and saluted, "Mu Yuan, don't mind, I'm just making random nonsense. I just want this young disciple to believe that we are here for something. Otherwise, if we make him doubt our motives for coming here, he may be more wary of us!" "
"Of course I won't mind! I think it's quite natural what you made up."
He turned back and glanced at the incense burner, "This young disciple has always been very vigilant, fearing that he might say something wrong and arouse others' suspicion."
They stood at the fortune-telling booth and waited patiently for the steward to arrive. However, after waiting for a long time, the steward still did not come.
Li Huaiyun had nothing to do, so he took a look at the red papers placed on the table. There were patterns drawn on them and words written beside them. The content inside could be compared with the fortune teller's life, and then Start calculating.
He picked up a turtle shell placed on the table, with a crescent-shaped wooden block inside, "Tch, this one looks quite similar."
"Pack?"
Li Huaiyun said, "Based on my feeling, it is most likely fake. There are several errors in what is written on the red paper, and this type of turtle shell is not used for divination."
"I guess they are just half-assed, pretending to be very powerful, and then pretending to be gods and ghosts, telling people in the area to serve the gods!"
Li Huaiyun frowned, "So, that widow is also unlucky to be chosen."
He looked at the young disciple from time to time, "I guess this guy is not clean either. The way he looks at you, I'm afraid he has done a lot of things to you in his mind."
Mu Yuan crossed her hands and patted her arm gently, "It seems that there are no good people in this temple!"
They waited for some more time, but still no one came to the temple.
Li Huaiyun didn't want to wait aimlessly and said to Mu Yuan, "We'd better go directly to the manager! If this guy does evil somewhere, we can stop him."
"That's true, I agree!" Mu Yuan nodded, "However, we don't know where this steward lives."
"That young disciple must know. Didn't he say that master and disciple usually come together in the morning?"
Li Huaiyun came to the incense burner. The young disciple was using a shovel as long as his arm to clean the ashes in the incense burner. If he hadn't cleaned out the contents, the burner would have been covered in a pile of ashes.
"This little fellow Taoist, why hasn't your master come yet?"
The young disciple wiped the sweat with the back of his hand, frowned, and leaned back to stay away from the flying dust.
He shook his head vigorously. "I don't know either. At this hour of the week, the master must already be at the temple!"
Li Huaiyun suggested, "How about we go find him? Maybe your master is waiting at home, but it's just a little inconvenient."
This can't be left alone, that's a lot of income! The young disciple thought to himself as he shoveled and looked around, fearing that if no one was watching, someone would go behind the stone statue and discover some secrets in the darkness.
"What's wrong? What are you hesitating about?" Li Huaiyun asked. He knew that this young disciple must be thinking about something and was afraid of being discovered.
His gaze just now was towards the main hall, where the secret of this temple should be.
"There is no one in charge of the temple, so of course it won't work, let alone driving them out of the temple."
Li Huaiyun smiled calmly, "Oh, I thought you were worrying about the temple, but I think you have nothing to worry about."
"These people are so pious, are you still afraid of them doing evil here? After believing for so long, your own moral standards must be higher."
The young disciple glanced at Li Huaiyun and felt that what he said was quite correct, but he still hesitated.
"Don't be afraid! The temple is full of incense. Besides, my sweetheart is going with me. After meeting your master, I'm almost ready to leave!"
The young disciple glanced at Mu Yuan, fearing that such an opportunity would slip away. If the master could persuade her, he would soon be able to taste this plump woman.
He put away the shovel, then called over a believer and told him that if he helped do these things, he could gain some merit. He was afraid that if he told too much, those people would rush for this matter.
"Okay! Come with me!" The young disciple tidied up his clothes and then left the temple with Li Huaiyun and Mu Yuan.
They walked towards the house where the steward lived, and after passing through the alley, they didn't know where they were now.
"You and your master are the only ones running your temple?"
"Yes, occasionally when we are busy, we will call some people to come here to help."
"I heard that you, the god of the temple, still have to offer sacrifices, right?"
The young disciple's footsteps were a little messy. He turned to look at Li Huaiyun, "Sir, how did you know this?"
"That's what the believers told me! At that time, I was wandering around the street. Unexpectedly, they opened the door first and I followed."
"Someone must have broken the door lock!" The young disciple said angrily, "How did they tell you to make offerings?"
Li Huaiyun snorted in his heart. He really wanted to know how much we knew. "Just say that this temple needs people to serve the gods at specific times every month."
"I think I was talking about the Widow Sun!"
"Ah!" The young disciple's voice became a little gloomy and he immediately retorted, "No! We have no such thing. It's just that the widow was too pious, so we let her stay here and then told the outside world that she was worshiping the gods. "
"This is a high-sounding excuse!" Mu Yuan couldn't bear the young disciple's nonsense and said directly, "Many people should know what you are doing."
"Lady, don't talk nonsense. Our temple is quite formal. There is no such thing."
Li Huaiyun immediately interjected, "My fellow Taoist mind, she just listens to what others say, and it's common for her to add insult to injury!"
"This young master clearly knows!"
Li Huaairun turned his head and glanced at Mu Yuan, then shook his head gently at her, signaling her not to be so arrogant.
Mu Yuan understood what he meant and could only grit his teeth and suppress the anger in his heart.
After passing through several more alleys, the young disciple finally brought them to the steward's residence.
Li Huaiyun patted the door gently and found that there was no movement inside. The door was bolted from the inside.
He came to the window, then made a hole in the window paper, looked in, and saw only a table with food on it. The bed was quite messy, as if someone had been here.
"There is nothing we can do!" Li Huaiyun shrugged. He raised his fist, punched directly, forcefully opened the door, and pushed it in.
"What are you doing?" The young disciple's face was ashen. He never thought that this person would directly open the door in such a rude way. If the master knew about this, he would definitely receive a severe punishment.
"Do you know what you are doing?" the young disciple shouted in a painful voice.
"When I saw how messy it was inside, I thought something had happened to your master, but now it looks like it's my problem!"
The young disciple looked at Li Huaiyun with an angry expression. He wanted to curse, but when he thought of his female companion, he asked himself to endure it a little longer.
This dim room was quite quiet. Judging from the simple layout of the room, Li Huaiyun was a little curious. With such a high income, there was only hope.
The tables and chairs, as well as the fabrics used in the room, all looked high-end.
Mu Yuan stood in front of the table, looked at the food on it, and reached out to touch it. It had been cold for a long time, "This food is placed here, and no one seems to have touched it."
Li Huaiyun walked up and took a look at it. At first, he felt strange as to why he had prepared a table of food but not a single chopstick was used!
"Here... where are the chopsticks!"
Mu Yuan glanced down and pointed downward, "It fell to the ground!"
"pick it up!"
Mu Yuan had veins popping out on her forehead, thinking that this guy actually ordered her to squat down and pick up the chopsticks. She pursed her lips and stared at Li Huaiyun. However, thinking of her previous promise to Sikyong, she could only swallow her anger and pick up the chopsticks on the ground.
