Hearing this, Huamaguai nodded in admiration and said, "Master, you are still far-sighted and discerning."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen waved his hands and said, "It's just like what you said, but I'm old, I've seen a lot of people, and I have some experience."
Hearing this, Huamaguai said that Mr. Chen was in his prime, so he looked a bit old.
When Mr. Chen heard about it, he sent him away and followed Chen Yulou who was about to set off.
After Huamaguai left, he put away his pipe and went to Zhang Lin's residence.
"Mr. Chen!"
"I live here as a Taoist priest, but I'm still used to it!"
As soon as the two met, they exchanged greetings with each other. Zhang Linlian said that he had traveled around and lived well. Mr. Chen felt relieved after hearing this.
The two chatted for a long time before Mr. Chen explained his purpose.
He said that Zhang Lin knew about the Chen family's business, and he came here to ask Zhang Lin to make a fortune teller for Chen Yulou to see if his trip went smoothly.
Zhang Lin shook his head when he heard this and said: "Mr. Chen, not everyone in my Taoist sect can make hexagrams.
Although I have dabbled in this art of divination, it is nothing more than deceiving ordinary people.
Since the troubled times, the Chen family has opened warehouses to stockpile grain to provide relief to the people. This is a great good deed.
Since Mr. Chen said that what your young master did this time was for the victims of the disaster. Although Xiaoyao is not talented and does not have the ability to ask questions about good or bad luck through astrology, he still has the ability. If Mr. Chen trusts you, I am willing to go with your young master.
Keep him safe."
Zhang Lin said, tapping the stone table aside, and the entire stone table suddenly fell into pieces.
Seeing Zhang Lin's martial arts skills, Mr. Chen hurriedly said: "If the Taoist Master can protect Quanzi, I would be very grateful. I am dissatisfied with what the Taoist said. Quanzi also practiced with the Taoist Master when he was young. After the Taoist Master became immortal, Yulou just went down the mountain.
, inherit the ancestral legacy.”
Zhang Lin said: "In this case, the noble young master is still half a member of the Taoist sect. I wonder if he will receive the seal?"
"Then I don't know!" Mr. Chen shook his head when he heard this and said: "To be honest, the reason why Yulou was able to worship that Taoist priest as his teacher was because when Yulou's mother was pregnant with Yulou, there happened to be a melee between the Hunan and Yin warlords.
The Taoist priest also knew the details of my Chen family. At that time, my clan members temporarily took shelter in the ancient tomb and escaped the disaster.
Because Yulou was born in an ancient tomb, he can actually see at night.
In the early years, a long road passed here. Yan Yulou was born in an ancient tomb and was tainted with an unknown aura. He needed to practice Taoism and worship Buddha to resolve it. Then he took Yulou there and took him into the courtyard. After the Taoist became an immortal, Yulou returned to the Chen family. But for
He rarely mentioned the past few years to us."
After listening, Zhang Lin nodded and said: "So there are still such twists and turns!"
"That's true." Mr. Chen nodded and asked with some uncertainty, "I wonder if Chang Yan is willing to accompany my son to Lao Xiong Ling, but is it true?"
Zhang Lindao: "What I said is certainly true. To be honest, Mr. Chen, when I came to Xiangyin this time, I learned that the warlord Luo Laowai wanted to join forces with your son to dig ancient tombs in the Laoxiong Ridge area.
According to our records, many Taoist classics are buried in the ancient tomb there. I want to bring them back to the tomb to study the wisdom of my ancestors. Even if I don’t meet Mr. Chen, I will try to go there with your noble son.
, after all, with the help of Xie Ling’s group, it will save a lot of trouble.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen hurriedly said: "In that case, I will let Huama abduct the Taoist priest and go together.
The Jade Tower is for wealth, and you are for classics, very good!"
When Zhang Lin heard this, he bowed and said: "In that case, I'll bother Mr. Chen to worry about it!"
"No trouble! No trouble!" Mr. Chen waved his hands repeatedly and said: "The world is not peaceful now, and with a Taoist priest like this accompanying us, I should feel at ease when Lao Xiong Ling and his party are here."
After saying that, he sent someone to find Huamaguai and asked him to take Zhang Lin with him, and follow Chen Yulou around to watch him act.
In this way, Zhang Lin followed Huamaguai, Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai, and stood in front of him, heading towards Laoxiong Mountain in Xiangxi.
"The scenery of Laoxiong Ridge is truly unique!"
A group of people pretended to be merchants, picking up goods and driving loads. They walked in Laoxiong Ridge. When they saw the landscape, Chen Yulou couldn't help but sigh.
Except for Zhang Lin, no one in the group had the education of Mr. Chen. They could not describe the beauty of the landscape here. Only Luo Laowai was talking about it, trying to build a platform for Chen Yulou, but unfortunately he almost failed.
It was dismantled.
Chen Yulou had no choice but to give up and asked Luo Laowai if he was ready.
When asked about this, Luo Laowai, a former grass bandit, finally found a place to use his skills and told him his arrangement.
Chen Yulou learned that they were followed by an engineer battalion and a pistol battalion, and that there were more than a hundred experts who were leading the way with him, so he felt that there was a lot to be done this time.
So a few people found an open place, prepared to eat some dry food, and then entered the Miao village to find out where Luo Laowai's Yuan Dynasty Datong treasure came from.
Huamaguai distributed the food, but Chen Yulou did not take over. It seemed that he was still angry about his high-density affair with Mr. Chen.
Luo Laowai took a look and tried to smooth things over and said, "Why should I get angry with my subordinates? I'm doing this for your own good."
"For my own good?" Chen Yulou said: "To put it bluntly, it's not that he doesn't trust me and thinks that I can't accomplish anything without him."
Luo Laowai took a look and found that it was difficult for an upright official to intervene in family affairs. He was just a warlord supported by the Chen family. Although he and Chen Yulou were close friends, he had no say in Chen Yulou's family affairs.
So he had no choice but to let Chen Yulou go and sit aside to eat his own pie.
Huamaguai distributed the cake to Zhang Lin, who was sitting farthest away, and said respectfully: "Taoist Master, the journey is difficult. This is all I have. Please forgive me!"
"It's okay!" Zhang Lin took the pie and took a small bite. Feeling very uncomfortable, he put it on his knees and looked at Chen Yulou, who was resting with his eyes closed, and Mr. Luo, who was teasing Hong Gu, and said, "What?
Hit a wall?"
Huama turned around and saw that Zhang Lin couldn't eat the flatbread, so she sat down, took out some water and gave it to Zhang Lin, indicating to Zhang Lin to use it to soak the flatbread before eating. When Zhang Lin asked, she smiled awkwardly and said: "I'm used to it, sir."
I was asked to look at the boss, but the boss was very disgusted with the master's actions and always thought that the master looked down on him. I was caught in the middle and deserved to be a little angry."
Zhang Lin heard this and said with a smile: "Humans are always rebellious. You have always thought that you have lived well since you were young and have not experienced any big storms. Maybe during this trip, you will understand your master's good intentions."
Huamaguai heard this and said, "What the Taoist Master said, does this mean that this trip is dangerous?"
Zhang Lin pressed Huama Gui and sat down and said: "There are so many dangers, but if you are not a master, you don't know how expensive oil and rice are. I think you are always thinking that there is a lot of movement this time."
There are thousands of people under Luo Shuai alone, and there are nearly ten thousand Xiling brothers. Now you are always leading a few of us to investigate and inquire, and you can’t find anything. But in the future, with the division of labor, cooperation, and coordination of these ten thousand people,
Eating, drinking, having diarrhea, etc., you are always busy.
Being able to command tens of thousands of people and make them like armies was a famous general in ancient times. You always treat your head as extraordinary after this trip. Maybe you understand Mr. Chen's painstaking efforts.
Of course, you also have to do your best to make your family do more things. If there are any disputes, material allocation, personnel transfer, etc., let him take care of them."
"Taoist Master, is this... okay?"
After listening to Zhang Lin's words, Huama looked at Zhang Lin suspiciously. He felt that it was not very reliable.
