Chapter 1895: Why Don’t They Have to Buy a ticket?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Brother Lin, he gave us a discount,” Qiao Xin said.

“Do you have too much money to spend? Do you think he’s the Jade Emperor or Guanyin Bodhisattva? How can you believe such words?”

“But he said that Sister Li’s lifespan is short. I don’t feel comfortable hearing that,” Qiao Xin said honestly.

“It’s all lies. Just have fun with it. Don’t take it too seriously,” Lin Yi said.

“If he’s really that awesome, he wouldn’t have to read fortunes here.

Qiao Xin suddenly felt that Lin Yi’s words made sense.

She seemed to have really been cheated of too yuan by that old man.

“Let’s go somewhere else.”

“Okay.”

The three of them continued walking up the mountain.

Compared to the base of the mountain, there was less natural scenery at the top, but there were many late Qing Dynasty buildings.

It was said that this was the emperor’s favorite place, with many spots marked by his handwritten inscriptions.

While the scenery was a bit lacking, the place had a rich historical atmosphere.

After wandering around the Jingyi Garden on Xiang Mountain for a while, the three of them arrived at the Xiyun Temple.

Upon arrival, they realized what “truly crowded” meant.

Most people were just there for a quick look, adding to the bustling atmosphere.

The air was filled with the smoky scent of incense, and many people were lined up in front of a huge incense burner, praying for peace.

Seeing this, Qiao Xin couldn’t resist. She spent thirty yuan to buy three thin incense sticks, placing them in the burner and offering her prayers.

“Brother Lin, I’m a bit hungry.”

After offering the incense, Qiao Xin patted her stomach.

Lin Yi checked his phone and saw it was already past noon, time for lunch.

“Places like this usually have somewhere to eat. I’ll go find out.

Lin Yi walked a few steps ahead and found a young Daoist in traditional robes.

After asking about dining options, he returned to the two women.

“There’s a dining hall at Xiyun Temple that provides food for visitors. The taste might not be great, though.”

“It’s fine as long as you can fill your stomach. We’ll go back and have a feast tonight.”

Lin Yi didn’t care too much. The three of them walked towards the dining hall.

“Eh? There’s actually a pill room here?”

On the way to dinner, Qiao Xin exclaimed in surprise. She found it very novel.

“Are Daoists still refining pills these days?”

“Let’s go in and take a look.”

“Sounds good.”

Qiao Xin took out two packets of biscuits from her bag and handed one to Li

Chuhan. “Sister Li, fill your stomach first.”

“I’m not hungry. You can eat first.”

“Then I’ll leave you to it.”

Qiao Xin opened a packet of biscuits and walked towards the pill room not far away.

At this moment, Qiao Xin said in surprise,

“Brother Lin, there seems to be a fee for entering the Daoist temple. It doesn t seem like we can enter as we please.”

“Fine, I can afford it.”

The three of them walked closer and saw a sign beside them. They saw that there was a fee sign on it.

The admission ticket for an internal tour was priced at 298 yuan per person, a far cry from the standard 28 yuan ticket.

Although this was supposed to be a serene place, the pricing seemed to want to extort money from visitors.

However, the high price included a special perk.

The package included lunch, which seemed to be quite decent.

This discovery made Lin Yi feel a bit better about the cost.

Even so, there weren’t many people interested in the internal tour.

Only two groups were ahead in line. The 298 yuan ticket wasn’t cheap, and most visitors were here to enjoy the scenery rather than explore the internal facilities of the Daoist temple, so the queue was short.

Lin Yi took out his phone and joined the line, ready to scan the QR code to pay.

At the front of the line was a couple, around thirty years old, wearing glasses and looking scholarly.

The couple behaved oddly. While buying tickets, they called the young Daoist aside, whispered something, and then entered the temple without paying.

“Tickets are 298 yuan each, so for two people, it’s 596,” the young Daoist said lazily.

“Wait a minute. I want to know why those two people went in without paying, but we have to buy tickets.”

The middle-aged woman standing in front of Lin Yi and his companions asked, displeased with the unfairness.

Initially, Lin Yi and his group hadn’t paid much attention to the couple. But hearing the middle-aged woman, they realized that the couple indeed seemed to have entered without purchasing tickets.

This was a little strange. After all, they didn’t dress like the staff here.

“Um…”

The young Daoist priest in charge of collecting the money was stunned. He did not expect the woman in front of him to ask this question. His expression changed.

“You’re different from others. If you want to come in, you have to pay. Otherwise, don’t go in.”

The middle-aged woman didn’t seem to be a kind person either. The other party’s attitude made her temper rise.

“We all have the same nose and two eyes. Wiry should we pay?!”

The middle-aged woman said, “Believe it or not, I’ll call and report you right now!”

“You!”

The young Daoist priest was a little flustered. If he was reported, he wouldn’t be able to do business in the Daoist temple.

After weighing the pros and cons, the young Daoist priest said to the couple who had just left,

“Can you two come back for a while?”

Hearing someone calling him from behind, the couple walking in front turned around. One of the men said,

“Are you calling us?”

“Yes, yes, yes.” The young Daoist priest’s attitude improved a little. He said in a difficult manner,

“You’d better come and buy the tickets.”

“Tickets?”

The bespectacled man’s expression did not look too good. “Didn 11 already show you my identification? Why must I still buy tickets?

“Well…” said the young Daoist.

“It’s mainly because they saw that you didn’t buy tickets. They are raising a fuss so I can’t do my job.”

The bespectacled man narrowed his eyes and looked at the middle-aged woman who had lined up behind him just now. He walked over angrily and took out his identification card.

“I’m a civil servant. I don’t need to buy a ticket to come here. Do you have a problem with that?”

Lin Yi raised his head and looked at the other party’s ID. He couldn’t help but purse his lips when he saw that it was a city enforcement officer.

Could a city enforcement officer be so pretentious?

They didn’t even need to buy a ticket to visit the scenic area?

If he took out his documents, would the whole temple start worshiping him?

“So what if you’re a city enforcement officer? This isn’t your house! Why can you avoid buying tickets?”

The middle-aged woman displayed her extraordinary combat strength and didn’t give in at all.

“Let me tell you, if they don’t buy the tickets, we won’t buy them either. Otherwise, I’ll report you!”
