The temple master quickly got up and went outside to check, and several young Taoist priests also came over after hearing the noise.

They looked at each other in surprise, not knowing what was going on. The secret guard had already dragged the little Taoist priest in.

The young Taoist priest was almost exhausted from the pain, his hair was disheveled and his face was pale.

"Master, Master, help me."

The abbot looked closely and saw him like this. He couldn't help but angrily asked, "Who are you? How dare you do this?"

The dark guard said loudly: "Who are you? We can do whatever we want, what does it have to do with you?"

The master: “???”

"This is my temple, and I am the abbot," he pointed at the young Taoist priest, "that is my disciple. You beat him up and broke in without permission, and you still say it has nothing to do with me?"

"Is he your disciple?" asked the secret guard.

"Of course." The master of the temple said confidently.

The secret guard changed the subject: "Okay, since you admit it, it will be easy."

"You, my disciple, deliberately frightened the horse and injured our brother. Now his life or death is in danger. What do you think we should do?"

The temple master was stunned and looked at the young Taoist priest, wondering how could such a thing be exposed?

Before I could react, the secret guard said, "Also, he instigated a fight between the vegetable vendors and the sheepherders on the street. Blood was shed, and both sides reported it to the authorities."

"He also went to brothels to eat and drink, competed with others for sex, and scratched other prostitutes. They also sued him. He begged us to take him back, and we paid a ransom of three hundred taels for him."

"Pay back the money."

Viewer: "..."

I was so angry that I saw stars before my eyes.

"Three hundred taels, why don't you go and rob!" The temple master shouted, "I don't have any money!"

The other young Taoist priests were also indignant. Listen, are these things human things?

What kind of instigation is this? Going to a brothel, drinking wine, eating, drinking and having fun, what's the right?

While others were working in the temple every day, he went out to enjoy himself. Now he brings people back and asks for money: three hundred taels!

Why!

One of the young Taoist priests said, "Master, no, three hundred taels is not a small amount. He should be held responsible for the evil he did."

"That's right, Master. We don't know him. Do you know him?"

Several people were talking at once, and all said they would ignore it.

The young Taoist priest who was being held was furious: "You are so cruel that you lied with your eyes open. If I hadn't been doing business outside, how much money would you have made from the little work you did at home?"

"Bullshit, we don't work, so what if you come to do business? Can you deliver the goods?"

"Oh, now you know how to contradict me? When the deal was done and the goods were sold, you all talked to me like dogs."

The young Taoist pointed to the backyard and said, "With the quality of what you guys made, it's all my skill if they can sell it!"

They cursed and quarreled, making a huge commotion. Several secret guards looked at each other, and two of them went to the backyard quietly.

The backyard is spacious and at first glance, there isn't much to it except a small mound in the corner.

Looking more closely, it was not a small mound of earth, but a darkroom that was half upper and half lower.

One third is outside and two thirds is below.

The two men drew their swords, found the entrance, and walked down.

As soon as I entered, I felt a warm and moist air rushing towards me.

It is not only a darkroom, but also a greenhouse.

However, it was pitch black inside and I couldn't see clearly what was inside.

One of the secret guards took out a fire starter and was about to light it when the other one quickly held him down.

"You forgot that the princess said that when you are in a closed space, don't enter it casually, and don't open the fire easily, in case there is any gas inside."

“It will…explode.”

"What should we do? It's pitch black here, we can't see anything clearly, how are we going to reply when we get back?"

A light came on, much brighter than a tinderbox.

"I have this."

"You...you! How do you have this? This is only owned by the prince and Brother Tuotuo. I know what it's called, electricity."

"A small flashlight. I borrowed it from Brother Tuotuo."

"Let me touch it."

"What's the point of just touching it? You still have to do something good quickly. Then the prize will be this. I heard from Brother Tuotuo that the princess has a mirror that can see very far and can also see at night."

"Yes, meritorious service."

The two walked around the greenhouse.

……

Yan Ruyu was in the space at this time, taking out a dozen telescopes and a dozen small solar flashlights from the copy box.

Don't underestimate these things, they are very practical.

Since the renovation of West City, the yamen runners have become interested in the small loudspeakers. She thought that these little things, which are inconspicuous in modern times, are very attractive to them and are very helpful in their work.

Fortunately, she has a copy box that can copy modern things, but it is still a bit slow. It would be better if it could be faster.

These dozen or so telescopes and small flashlights will probably be sold out in a hurry.

I was busy in the space when the abbot called.

Counting the days, the abbot has been back at the manor for quite some time, and a lot of gold sand must have been unearthed during this period.

This money-grubber must be here to announce good news.

Yan Ruyu answered the call and asked while sorting out her things, "What's wrong?"

The abbot didn't say anything for a while. Yan Ruyu felt something was wrong and stopped.

"what happened?"

The two questions had completely different tones.

After a while, the abbot was dying: "Ruyu, I'm afraid I can't make it anymore."

Yan Ruyu stood up immediately: "What's wrong with you?"

"If you have something to say, take your time. Don't be anxious. Are you hurt?"

"No, I don't know what's going on. These past few days I've always felt like... my body is floating, I feel dizzy, and my feet are not solid."

"Have you caught a cold?" Yan Ruyu asked quickly, "Do you have a fever?"

"I don't have a cold or a fever. I used a thermometer to test it," the abbot sighed, "but I just don't feel well."

"I still have hallucinations all the time, like I'm back in the old days at the institute."

Yan Ruyu frowned, feeling that the abbot's situation was rather serious this time.

Could it be that there was something wrong with the space that caused his body to be unable to bear it?

If we can often see supernatural research institutes in modern society, is there something wrong with the parallel universe?

No matter which one it is, it is a big problem that neither she nor the abbot can solve.

Yan Ruyu felt a little heavy.

"How about this, I'll ask Yinding to pick you up and we'll talk when we meet."

The abbot sniffed: "Ruyu, if I die..."

"Don't talk nonsense, nothing will happen," Yan Ruyu said firmly, "It's nothing to worry about. We have been safe from the modern times to here, and it will be the same this time."

The abbot was also a little more cheerful after hearing what she said: "That's true. Okay, then you can ask Yinding to pick me up. I will take advantage of this time to take care of things here and prepare enough food for them. When I return, make me something delicious."

"no problem."

Yan Ruyu agreed immediately and no longer had the mood to pack up. She sat alone for a while and then left the space.

Shortly after returning to the room, footsteps were heard in the yard.

"Master," Linlang said, "the silver ingots are here."

"Let him in."
