Chapter 116

Cook Wang was finally beaten with a board. She had already been injured by Liu Xiaolou's palm, and after eating this beating, she wouldn't be able to get up for a month.

Susu was a bit unbearable and wanted to know if she should bring some medicine to visit her, but was stopped by Liu Xiaolou: "Your son-in-law is a barbarian from Wulong Mountain. If you really go, the image I just established will collapse, and it won't be possible to establish it again in the future. By the way, that dilapidated temple at the mountain pass, what was its name again?"

"General's Temple."

"Go find Hou Hou Guanshi Su in the manor and see if Hou Hou Guanshi Su is responsible for the construction? Hurry up and start the renovation; we will pay for it."

Susu hesitated: "But Cook Wang said that the Master had already put that place to use—"

Liu Xiaolou waved his hand: "You go find Hou Hou Guanshi Su. If it doesn't work, I'll reason with him again."

Hou Hou Guanshi Su really didn't have so many things to do. He agreed very readily, took the initiative to go down the mountain, and brought a group of masons who had built houses in the village down the mountain, working overnight.

At night, Liu Xiaolou came to inspect and saw several lamps hanging on the scene, and more than a dozen strong laborers sweating like rain, cleaning up the broken bricks and tiles under the command of Hou Hou Guanshi Su.

Susu stepped forward with a large bucket of meat soup, and the helpers swarmed over, each of them devouring it greedily.

Liu Xiaolou cupped his hands at Hou Hou Guanshi Su: "Hou Hou Guanshi has worked hard."

Hou Hou Guanshi Su laughed: "A small matter, son-in-law, don't worry. The General's Temple has been in disrepair for a long time, and I have long felt uncomfortable looking at it. I have always wanted to renovate it properly. Today, it is thanks to the son-in-law."

Liu Xiaolou asked: "Does the Hou Hou Guanshi also have the surname Su? I don't know which branch you are from?"

Hou Hou Guanshi Su said: "It's shameful to say, my uncle and the old family head were brothers of the same branch. By my generation, my cultivation couldn't be improved, so I had to come out to manage some miscellaneous matters, shameful."

Liu Xiaolou patted him and said: "That is also a member of the Su family! Disrespect! Hou Hou Guanshi Su, let me introduce you to a good brother of mine, Tan Bazhang, Brother Bazhang. This is Hou Hou Guanshi Su of the Su family of Mount Shenwu, the number one in building houses and connecting mountains and waters!"

Tan Bazhang came over with a smile: "We are already familiar. This Hou Hou Guanshi Su is a down-to-earth person, very much to my taste!"

Hou Hou Guanshi Su also accompanied him with a smile and expressed his determination: "Son-in-law, don't worry, Brother Tan, don't worry. Within seven days, I will give you a clean and comfortable Daoist temple!"

Tan Bazhang patted his chest and said: "Then thank you very much! If Hou Hou Guanshi Su has any difficulties, just tell Brother Tan. Brother Tan has no other skills, just an iron rod. Whoever is blind and provokes Hou Hou Guanshi Su, Brother Tan will beat him until it's dark!"

Hou Hou Guanshi Su wiped his sweat: "That's right, that's right."

The renovation progress of the General's Temple was very fast. In fact, by the third day, Tan Bazhang had moved into the first completed side room. And at this moment, Liu Xiaolou had already followed the Su family to the location of the Danxia Sect—Mount Magu.

Mount Magu is located two hundred miles southeast of Mount Shenwu. It is said that countless years ago, a female immortal named Magu appeared in the mountain, so it was called Mount Magu by the world. Whether a female immortal had ever appeared, outsiders didn't know, but the Danxia Sect in the mountain had been prominent for thousands of years, standing among the ranks of the world's righteous sects, revered by countless cultivators.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a four-pillar stone archway with the ancient mountain name written on it. I don't know how many years it has experienced, polished smooth as jade by wind and rain. Walking up the stone steps, there is a waterfall-watching pavilion on the mountainside. Looking up, among the overlapping green peaks, two waterfalls of more than thirty zhang fly straight down, deafening.

From here, outsiders cannot enter lightly. There are inner sect stewards of the Danxia Sect patrolling here, checking visitors.

The Su family is an important branch of the Danxia Sect. This time, for the Millennium Ceremony, to prevent the mixing of dragons and snakes, only the Su family disciples could enter, and all servants and maids were blocked. Therefore, of the thirty or so people who came, only half could go up the mountain.

Liu Xiaolou, this son-in-law, had a low status, but he was barely considered a member of the Su family and was able to squeeze into the Su family to enter the mountain—this was the first time the Su family had brought him into the mountain, and perhaps the last. The purpose was still the same as before, to declare that the Fifth Young Lady, Su Xi, was already married and would not marry out.

Turning west under the waterfall, walking less than two miles, he saw a stone bridge named Longmen Bridge, with the four large characters "Danxia Cave Heaven" carved on the bridge. Arriving here, there were again inner sect stewards of the Danxia Sect on duty.

The steward was surnamed Cai and was obviously very familiar with the Su family. He smiled and exchanged "Senior Brother" and "Su Shidi" with Su Zhi and Su Xun. After receiving the worship of the Fifth Young Lady, Su Xi, he hurriedly bent down to help her up, saying: "Niece's cultivation has improved again."

Su Zhi asked: "Su Shidi Cai, have all the families arrived?"

Hou Hou Guanshi Cai said: "The Wang family has arrived, and my Cai family has also arrived. Only the Mao family is left. Most of the other vassal small clans have also arrived."

During the two days of coming to Mount Magu, Su Zhi specifically called Liu Xiaolou to his side to give him a crash course on the situation of the Danxia Sect. The Danxia Sect is mainly supported by four great families, namely the Cai family of the main mountain—this is also the largest main branch of the Danxia Sect—the Mao family of Mao Gong Altar, the Wang family of Xunxi, and the Su family of Mount Shenwu. Among them, the weakest is the Su family.

Just over one hundred and eighty years ago, the Su family was also glorious. At that time, among the five elders of the Danxia Sect, two were from the Su family. But now, the Su family can't even squeeze one in. There is no other reason; there is no Nascent Soul. The highest cultivation in the Su family is Su Zhi, who is only in the mid-stage of Golden Core. Most people know in their hearts where they can go in the future. Like Su Zhi himself, he knows that there is no hope for a Nascent Soul in his life.

Fortunately, there is still the Fifth Young Lady, Su Xi, in the next generation. Not only does the Su family favor her, but the elders of the Danxia Sect also favor her. On the day of Foundation Establishment, she was already listed in the inner sect.

Hou Hou Guanshi Cai also cast his gaze on Liu Xiaolou, his expression quite intriguing, making Liu Xiaolou shiver, and he hurriedly lowered his head to salute.

Hou Hou Guanshi Cai nodded and said to Su Zhi: "Senior Su Shidi, let's go in."

Under the Longmen Bridge, there is a stone spring named "Divine Skill Spring." The spring water seeps out from the stone cracks and flows into a stone basin. This stone basin is only a foot square. Liu Xiaolou had heard Su Zhi say on the road that it was struck by the staff of the Old Immortal of the South Pole, so he took a few more looks, but didn't find anything unusual.

But Su Zhi's next move showed Liu Xiaolou what was called unusual. He took out a piece of scarlet jade and threw it into the stone basin. The scarlet jade soon sank to the bottom of the basin, and the spring water in the basin began to churn, suddenly shooting out rays of rosy light.

This rosy light shot out in strands, each strand an inch long. Passing before his eyes, it seemed to hang in the air, within reach, and also seemed as fast as a meteor, unaffected by perception.

Liu Xiaolou was in the midst of the rosy light, only feeling a huge suction pulling him toward the stone basin, and his whole body flew up out of thin air, head down and feet up, throwing himself into the stone basin.

Seeing that his head was about to hit the stone basin, he hurriedly raised his hand to protect his head, but found that he couldn't move a single finger, and could only let his head hit the hard stone basin.

"Ouch!" Just as Liu Xiaolou felt that his head was about to break and bleed, the thousands of strands of rosy light around him suddenly retracted.

The stone basin, which was getting bigger and bigger before his eyes, suddenly disappeared, and above his head were flames burning all over the sky!
