Chapter 10: Leave? This Old Monk Is Not Leaving Today!

Tianlu City, Furong Street.

"Another beautiful day!"

Early in the morning, Su Mu’s gourmet shop opened right on time.

Unlike the previous two days, Su Mu was in a very pleasant mood today.

In two days, thanks to the arrival of three suckers, he could be said to have filled his pockets to the brim.

In just two short days, Su Mu had earned fifty-four taels of gold.

Calculating by the current gold price of six hundred thirty-one per gram, Su Mu had earned over 1.7 million in two days.

Carrying a massive fortune of over a million, Su Mu suddenly felt that his future life would be very comfortable.

Opening the door as usual, Su Mu went straight back to sipping tea in his shop, closing his eyes to rest.

In front of other shops, there were more or less some customers.

But here at Su Mu’s, people were too lazy to even step inside.

In two days, the news of the sky-high prices for dishes here had long since spread; no one would come at all.

And Su Mu was happy to be idle; as long as suckers came, it was fine!

Inside the shop, time ticked away bit by bit.

It wasn't until the afternoon that two people finally entered the shop door. Just as they entered, before Su Mu could even look up, he was dazzled by a brilliant, shining light.

Turning his head to look, he saw two big monks wearing monk robes and cassocks walking in slowly.

It was just that the two were clearly a bit reserved, as if they had just come down from the mountain, and were full of vigilance toward their surroundings.

Su Mu was just about to step forward when he saw three familiar figures arriving again behind the two.

"Shopkeeper, one egg fried rice, braised egg, and cold boiled water combo!"

As soon as they arrived, Yue Buqun’s voice had already reached him.

This time, Yue Buqun could be described as heroic and spirited, walking in with the appearance of a nouveau riche.

Having extorted—bah, reclaimed—one hundred thousand taels of silver from Yu Canghai.

He, Yue Buqun, had money!

"Eh, from Shaolin Temple?"

Just after shouting, Yue Buqun noticed the two big lightbulbs in the shop. Almost without needing to distinguish, Yue Buqun saw their identities at a glance.

That unique, shining, powerful look—besides those from Shaolin Temple, Yue Buqun didn't think there were any others.

"Master, they're from Shaolin!"

Song Yuanqiao, following beside Yue Buqun, also became secretly vigilant at this moment upon seeing the Shaolin monks appear here.

Wudang and Shaolin had always been the pillars of the Wulin.

Their Wudang Sect naturally had to be wary of those bald donkeys from Shaolin!

"Observe the changes quietly first; after all, we are here to taste the food!"

Zhang Sanfeng nodded silently, giving Song Yuanqiao a look.

This was an immortal’s territory; everything had to be calm, and one could not be impulsive.

Song Yuanqiao understood this principle as well at this moment, wearing a smile on his face as he skillfully ordered two servings of egg fried rice with braised eggs and cold boiled water from Su Mu.

For a time, inside the gourmet shop, Yue Buqun, Song Yuanqiao, Zhang Sanfeng, and the others no longer spoke, but quietly found seats and sat down.

As for the two big monks standing in the gourmet shop, they were slightly anxious at this moment.

"Abbot Brother, where exactly is this place? What should we do?"

The two big monks were slightly flustered. They had originally been in the Shaolin Temple discussing the upcoming Wulin Assembly.

Who knew that a burst of white mist would surge in, and as the Abbot of Shaolin Temple, Xuan Ci and Xuan Ji were spun around and around until they arrived here.

"Amitabha, Junior Brother, let us observe the changes quietly first!"

As the Abbot, Xuan Ci said this, then his gaze turned toward Zhang Sanfeng, Yue Buqun, and the others on the other side.

In front of the three at this moment, Su Mu had already brought over the braised eggs and cold boiled water first.

Abbot Xuan Ci watched as all three ordered meals, thinking slightly about the information he had obtained when looking at the menu earlier.

"Benefactor, please trouble yourself to bring two cups of clear water!"

He said politely to Su Mu on the other side. As people who had left the secular world, they could not break their vows, so they could not order the braised eggs and egg fried rice.

Even if this place was quite marvelous, the Buddhist precepts were the Buddhist precepts.

They were the same everywhere!

"Oh, alright!"

Looking at the two with confusion, Su Mu’s brows furrowed slightly.

Truly, the world is vast and full of wonders; are there still such charitable suckers of monks these days?

Wasn't it said that monks nowadays were all extremely cunning?

Going out with big gold chains, little watches, and three small barbecues a day.

A Maserati in the left hand, a ball in the right, and going out to pick up girls every few days!

But why did these two look a bit dim-witted?

They actually just ordered two cups of water upon entering?

If they were really thirsty, wouldn't it be better to go next door and buy two bottles of Nongfu Spring?

He grumbled a few words inwardly, but since a customer had come to the door, Su Mu naturally wouldn't refuse.

He brought over two cups of water and handed them to the other party.

And the two monks also took out gold beans and handed them to Su Mu.

Just by taking a look, Su Mu put the gold beans away.

You can't tell, but besides actors who like to do these things, he didn't expect monks to play so fancy these days.

Squeezing the gold beans in his hand, he had to say, the monks of this world really knew how to play!

However, Su Mu didn't find this very strange.

After this world had experienced a great catastrophe, gold had long since become the circulating currency.

Inside the gourmet shop.

Abbot Xuan Ci and Xuan Ji looked at the cold boiled water in front of them, their gazes involuntarily scanning their surroundings for a moment.

"Brother, look, that person is almost obsessed with eating a braised egg!"

Xuan Ji, at his side, pointed at Yue Buqun, who was currently eating a braised egg, and whispered to Abbot Xuan Ci.

Although he was a man who had left the secular world, he hadn't eaten that!

But in his understanding, eating a braised egg shouldn't be like this!

Where on earth were these people from, eating an egg with such ecstasy?

"I see it, the state of those two people is also not quite right!"

Glancing at Yue Buqun, Xuan Ci’s gaze then turned toward Song Yuanqiao and Zhang Sanfeng on the other side.

At this moment, Zhang Sanfeng and Song Yuanqiao were gorging themselves, fully enjoying the charm of the egg fried rice.

As they swallowed large mouthfuls of egg fried rice and took a bite of the braised egg along the way, both of their faces were flushed red by the heat waves.

But both had smiles on their faces, eyes closed in concentration, revealing an intoxicated look.

Such a scene left Xuan Ci and Xuan Ji stunned.

"Brother, this place is too strange, we should leave!"

Xuan Ji had a faint, bad feeling in his heart, and whispered in his mouth.

And Abbot Xuan Ci opposite him was also muttering in his heart, nodding silently.

Swallowing his saliva, Abbot Xuan Ci unconsciously picked up the cold boiled water in front of him and took a sip.

With just one sip of the cold boiled water, Abbot Xuan Ci froze on the spot instantly.

"Brother, it's time to go!"

Xuan Ji, who had already stood up, saw Xuan Ci suddenly stop moving and couldn't help but be puzzled.

But just as he finished saying the sentence, the next moment, the stunned Abbot Xuan Ci acted as if he had a seizure.

"Leave? Leave for what? This old monk is not leaving today!"
