On this side, people were talking and laughing, discussing business, while on the other side, several monks kept asking Wu Gong, "Uncle Master, what should we do?"
With so many years of life lost, who could they turn to for justice? There were seven monks, and the two with limps hadn't had their essence absorbed by the demons.
The remaining five suddenly felt ten years older, and they were so upset that they almost hurt themselves. Every time they went out, they encountered bad luck.
"What can I do? This is retribution for stealing the eggs. I told you not to take them. You wouldn't eat them even if you took them, so why bother? Besides, the snake demon worked hard for two hundred years to lay these eggs.
Even the Buddha couldn't stand it, right? "Wu Gong's tongue was the most poisonous. There was nothing he dared not say, and he never cared about other people's feelings.
"Uncle Master, if you can't do it, please ask Master Feng to take a look at us." They didn't put their hopes on Wu Gong in the first place.
"Yes, Master Feng is so powerful, she must have a way, and you are a gang now." Can't you help with this little bit?
"Isn't she right there? If you can afford the reward, Master Feng won't refuse you if she has a way."
Feng Ling loves money, and Wu Gong is searching for his valuable things in his mind. Everyone gives Feng Ling the membership fee, and he may be out of place if he is stingy. The snake demon has already laughed at him.
Several monks were choked and speechless. They had stolen the eggs before, and later used the snake eggs to lure away the ghost demon in order to escape. They had just been scolded by the snake demon, and Feng Ling must not like them either.
So what's the point of them begging? That's why they thought of using the relationship of their uncle, but it turned out that guy was also unreliable.
Bah! If they have money, why bother to waste their breath begging this guy, funny.
But for the sake of their lives, the monks could only hold back and went to Feng Ling, "Master Feng, do you think you can help replenish our energy?"
Unexpectedly, Feng Ling refused without even thinking, "I can't do anything about it. How can there be a way to turn back the aging process? I'm just a wizard, not a god yet.
In fact, you can make up for it yourself, do more good deeds, earn merit, and live a long life."
There is another way, which is to use spiritual power to repair it, but Feng Ling's spiritual power is not much to begin with, so how could he waste it and hurt his body for these monks.
Moreover, if she cured these monks, where would that leave the snake demon? She and the snake demon were in cahoots, and the snake demon was the victim.
Feng Ling is a righteous man, so there is no reason for him to help bad guys avoid the punishment they deserve.
The monks were very disappointed. They suspected that Feng Ling was lying, but there was nothing they could do if the other party refused to help them.
She didn't want the news of Hulu Mountain to be spread, right? Then don't blame them for accidentally letting it slip, humph!
Feng Ling didn't know what some monks were thinking, but even if he knew, he wouldn't take them seriously. You know, some people may not believe what they say.
They have no prestige, so at most they can be regarded as bragging. Anyway, Feng Ling is not worried about offending these monks at all.
After perfunctorily dealing with these people, he put the ghost demon into the holy bell, and happily took Huo Jinxing to follow the peach demon to hunt for treasure.
After avoiding the crowd, Tao Yao dared to mention it, "That is a secret room, surrounded by dust. No one has been in it for a long time, so it is not the property of these bandits."
Tao Yao immersed himself in sensing for a while, and made sure that there was no other presence around, then he led Feng Ling and the others into a dilapidated ancestral hall?
The ancestral hall was covered with cobwebs, an unnamed tablet lay over on the altar, and there was a tattered little Buddha statue.
The peach demon stepped forward and lifted up the tablet that had fallen carelessly. Suddenly, the door of a stone chamber slowly opened on the ground above the altar, and everyone saw a staircase winding down from the entrance.
"Wow, this is so exciting! Do you usually light a fire when entering a secret room? To prevent lack of oxygen." Feng Ling did not go down immediately.
"Lack of oxygen?" Not only the snake demon, but even Huo Jinxing didn't quite understand.
"It's the suffocation and inability to breathe that lead to coma. If you're sealed in a secret room for too long, you might be running out of nutrients. You can try lighting a fire first. Fire needs oxygen to burn."
The ancients also knew this truth, but they may have expressed it differently. In short, everyone probably understands what Feng Ling said.
So Huo Jinxing's secret guard immediately lit a torch and walked over, ready to be the first to go in and act as a pathfinder.
Feng Ling suddenly realized that Huo Jinxing's secret guard ability was very strong. Did he carry something like a torch with him? It was impossible to tell at all. Anyway, it was always there when he needed it. It was amazing.
"How much is the salary of your secret guards?" This kind of people seems difficult to employ, right?
"Salary?" Huo Jinxing was stumped again.
"It's about the salary. Are the salaries of secret guards very high? Such capable helpers should be treated well, right?" Huo Jinxing employed hundreds or even thousands of secret guards. He was really rich.
Oh no, he is the emperor, so he still needs to have this basic guarantee.
"Ten taels of silver a month, is that a lot?" Maybe it is very high for ordinary people. As an emperor, Huo Jinxing has some understanding of people's livelihood.
On the contrary, Feng Ling had a vague concept of silver, "It should be very high, right?" But if he wanted to buy precious things, this amount of money would not be enough.
"Madam, ten taels is very low. Perhaps you can give us a little more?" The monthly salary of a county magistrate is fifty taels. You can imagine how pitiful these secret guards are.
This was the first time the secret guard spoke in front of his master, perhaps because he thought Feng Ling was too easy-going.
Feng Ling was shocked. His subordinates rebelled. This was unacceptable. This person was a key figure in protecting Huo Jinxing. He could not treat him badly and make him dissatisfied.
