Chapter 441: The Taoist Master



Song Yuehua lifted Xiaobao up to the wall with just a slight lift.

After she climbed to the top of the wall and sat firmly, she used a small stone to grind a groove on the top of the wall, fixed the rope, and then slowly slid down the inner wall.

Because of the wall, Song Yuehua couldn't see anyone and could only let down the rope little by little.

If you don't hear it falling to the ground, it is safe.

Originally, in Xiaobao's imagination, she could hold on to the wall with her limbs and land on the ground calmly.

But the fact is, ever since she let go, she has been like a big frog hanging.

She couldn't use her hands and feet and had no way to retreat, so she could only grit her teeth and wait for the elder sister to slowly let go of the rope and drop her to the ground little by little.

"Sister, please go faster." Xiaobao couldn't help but speak out.

Hearing what Xiaobao said, Song Yuehua said "oh" twice and her hands moved a little faster.

Not long after, Xiaobao's voice was heard again, "Sister, I'm coming down."

After landing safely, Xiaobao thought to herself that she must meet Taoist Master Miaoshou no matter what this time. She wanted to go out through the gate in broad daylight and never be hung again.

In order to prevent any accidents, Song Yuehua squatted by the outer wall holding the rope.

After Xiaobao entered the inner courtyard of Yunshan Pavilion, he found that there were really not many people. The landscape in the garden was quite unique, and there were flowers and plants planted everywhere.

Just as she was walking around, Xiaobao saw a woman in red, wearing a square scarf on her head, watering the flowers with a kettle in her hand.

"Who are you and how did you get in?" the woman in red asked with a stern face.

Xiao Bao stepped forward and asked, "Sister, do you know where Master Miaoshou is?"

"Master Miaoshou..."

Xiao Bao nodded and said, "I have been here for many days, but I have not seen her. I really have no choice but to climb over the wall to come in. Otherwise, it would be a pity if I came here in vain after crossing mountains and seas."

"Over the mountains and across the sea?"

The girl in red put down the kettle, walked forward, and asked, "How old are you?"

"Seven years old, Song Yunshang." Xiaobao replied obediently, "Sister, can you take me to see Master Miaoshou?"

The girl in red looked at her and said expressionlessly, "You are seeing it now."

Xiao Bao opened his mouth for a long time before saying, "Are you Master Miaoshou... Master?"

Miaoshou said, "Now your wish has been granted, go back."

"I don't believe it," Xiao Bao put down the chessboard he had carried on his back and said, "How can you be a national player at such a young age? Play a game with me."

Miaoshou stood up and said, "What's the point of fighting with a kid like you?"

"I know you are not. If you were a good player, you would definitely play chess with me." Xiaobao vowed.

Miaoshou was curious and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Xiao Bao analyzed seriously, "If you are really a skilled master, you must have been looked down upon because of your age, but now you think I am too young, which is unreasonable."

"Little boy, how come you have such a sharp tongue?" Miaoshou chuckled.

Xiao Bao pulled at her dress and begged, "Sister Hong, I am just a child. I have traveled thousands of miles to get here. Please take me to see Master Miaoshou."

Miaoshou said speechlessly, "If you see me but don't believe me, then it's better for you not to come."

"Then what about our next round?"

"No."

Xiaobao set up the chessboard and started to act coquettishly and plead, but the player in red on the opposite side just wouldn't budge.

"Sister, are you afraid of losing to me?" Xiaobao asked.

Skillful move, "..."

After a while, Miaoshou asked, "Are you the little boy who comes to see me every day?"

Xiaobao nodded.

These days, Miaoshou was really disturbed by her two sisters. In order to get rid of them as soon as possible, she could only sit down and signal Xiaobao to set up the chess pieces.

The two finally made their move.

Song Yuehua waited outside for half an hour and thought that since she didn't hear any noise, Xiaobao should be fine.

After an hour, she couldn't wait any longer.

Song Yuehua came to Yunshan Pavilion and apologized to the female Taoist nun at the door, "Master, I am really sorry. My child ran into Yunshan Pavilion without permission. Please take me in to look for him."

"I was guarding here, how did your child get in?" The Taoist nun didn't believe it.

Song Yuehua could only play dumb, "Children always have some unexpected ways..."

"Are you trying to trick me?" the nun asked warily.

Song Yuehua said, "How is this possible? I don't know how to play chess. Even if I enter, it will not do me any good."

The nun still didn't quite believe her, "You wait here first, I'll go in and take a look."

After saying this, the nun walked back inside, looking back three times.

After a while, the nun came out with a strange look on her face. She glanced at Song Yuehua and said, "The kids are playing chess inside. I'll take you to take a look. Don't make any noise and disturb the Taoist priest's interest."

The child is playing chess? Is Xiaobao playing chess with the Taoist Master Miaoshou?

That’s great!

Yunshan Pavilion doesn't look impressive from the outside, but once you go inside, you will find that the carvings are intricate and the man-made landscape is also unique.

The two stopped near a pavilion on the mountain. Inside the pavilion, there were two people, one big and one small. A young girl in green and a young girl in red were playing chess.

"Don't go over there!" The nun stopped Song Yuehua and said, "Master Miaoshou hates being disturbed when he's playing chess."

Song Yuehua asked in a low voice. "Is that woman in red Taoist Master Miaoshou?"

The nun nodded and led her away from the pavilion. "Your child is lucky to be able to play a game of chess with Master Miaoshou. Let's go."

In this case, Song Yuehua can wait outside with peace of mind.

The Taoist nun happened to have nothing to do, so Song Yuehua approached her and said, "Master Taoist, do you know about the Hailin Feast?"

"Know."

"Will Taoist Master Miaoshou attend the annual Hailin Banquet?"

The Taoist nun replied, "The Hailin Banquet is held every two years with generous rewards. Whether Master Miaoshou attends it is entirely up to her mood."

This Taoist master Miaoshou is not short of money or fame. It must have taken a lot of effort to invite her. It seems that Hai Linyan has a very powerful background.

"Will the Taoist priest participate himself?" Song Yuehua asked.

“I can’t play chess.”

Song Yuehua, "..."

It’s normal to think about it. She doesn’t know how to play chess anyway, but she still opened a chess club.

Two people playing chess in the long pavilion.

"I lost." Xiaobao said.

Taoist Master Miaoshou nodded and put away the chess piece.

After Xiaobao packed up the chess pieces and put them back on his back, Miaoshou said leisurely from behind, "Come back tomorrow."

"Tomorrow..." Xiao Bao was stunned at first, then said in surprise, "Okay."

Song Yuehua finally waited for the person to come out. Xiaobao jumped up and grabbed her hand, "Sister, Taoist Master Miaoshou asked me to come again tomorrow."

"That's great." Song Yuehua said happily.

Being able to play chess with such a national player is a bonus if you play one more game.

Coming all the way here, I was really rewarded to have the chance to play two rounds with Master Miaoshou.

Just when Song Yuehua thought so.

The next day, Xiao Bao said again, "Big sister, Master Miaoshou asked me to come back tomorrow."

On the third day, Taoist Master Miaoshou asked Xiaobao to come again.
