Jiang Daoxuan on the side suddenly widened his eyes and pulled Master Chunyang's wide sleeves with his hand: "Master, master..."
Taoist Master Chunyang waved his hand, waved away Jiang Daoxuan's hand, and said displeasedly: "Didn't you see that I am talking to your uncle about something?"
Xu Qing looked at Jiang Daoxuan and then at Taoist Master Chunyang. This man is so realistic!
Taoist Master Chunyang looked at Xu Qing and said: "I think fellow Taoists are people who have a deep relationship with our Taoist sect. How about I take on the role of a poor Taoist and accept disciples? Master has been dead for many years and has no lay disciples, and my fellow Taoist brothers
They also followed the master one by one. If the master knew that he had another disciple in this world, he would definitely be very happy."
Speaking of this, Taoist Master Chunyang's eyes turned a little wet.
Xu Qing asked: "Taoist Priest, when will you pass on the secret book?"
Taoist Master Chunyang: "Fellow Taoist, when are you going to donate money so that poor Taoists can decorate the Taoist temple?"
The conversation between the two could be more straightforward:
"When will the secret book be given?"
"When will the money be given?"
"You pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand..."
…
Xu Qing thought for a moment and asked, "I wonder where the Changshimen is?"
Chunyang Taoist Priest said: "There is a Chunyang Taoist Temple on Zhongshan Mountain, a hundred miles away from the capital. That is Pindao's Taoist temple. However, the mountain is high and the road is far away. It is quite difficult to go down the mountain to buy what is needed for alchemy."
Xu Qing thought secretly in his heart, and then said: "Have the Taoist priest ever thought about moving the Taoist temple to Yong'an County? Many industries of the Guoshang Academy are here. In the future, the Taoist priest wants to purchase alchemy expenses.
It’s also more convenient.”
"This..." Taoist Master Chunyang fell silent, and after a long time he said: "Although Pindao has already had the idea of relocating the Taoist temple, Zhongshan is where the Pindao sect's sect is located, and relocating easily would threaten the spirit of the ancestors in heaven.
There is blame.”
Xu Qing didn't press much after hearing this. In Dachu, he still believed in the idea of returning to his roots after falling leaves, and would not easily move away from the place of birth and inheritance.
Finally Xu Qing murmured: "How about I pay for the Taoist Priest's alchemy refining expenses in the future?"
Taoist Master Chunyang: “Where do you think it’s best to move this Chunyang Taoist Temple?”
Jiang Daoxuan and Xiao Ye behind them touched their foreheads with their hands, knowing it would be like this...
How can a Taoist master with profound Taoist teachings be so greedy for money? Aren’t they all monks?
Xu Qing led everyone to the foot of an unknown hill in the Anding County Industrial Zone. Gurgling spring water flowed down from the mountain, forming a pool at the foot of the mountain. The spring water here was sweet and clear, and many workshops of the Guoshang Academy were built there.
Collect water from everywhere for production and living purposes.
At the foot of the mountain, there is a large circle of open space with obvious traces of renovation. It was originally planned to build two new workshops here, but now it seems that they have a new purpose.
Xu Qing looked at Taoist Master Chunyang and said, "What do you think of this place, Taoist Master?"
Taoist Master Chunyang looked at this place and couldn't help but said: "The mountains are beautiful, the land is blessed, and there are many people coming and going. There will definitely be a continuous flow of incense in the future. It would be perfect if it could be built here."
Above Zhongshan Mountain, the mountains are high and the roads are steep, and there are few people. When winter comes, the mountain is closed by heavy snow, which is basically the same as being isolated from the world. Otherwise, he would not have to rely on the money to buy fireworks to maintain his alchemy needs.
Not far away
Xiao Ye touched Jiang Dao
Jiang Daoxuan stood a little further away from Xiao Ye: "Money can buy food, but can dirt?"
Xiao Ye glanced at him: "So as long as the money is enough, the apprentice can become a junior disciple?"
Jiang Dao
Ascend, become immortal, and live forever."
"In my master's generation, this master's last wish has already become the common wish of many ancestors in my Taoist sect. Refining alchemy costs a lot of money. The original 10,000 taels of master used all of it in addition to maintaining daily food and clothing.
I have made elixirs in the hope that one day I can develop a real elixir of immortality to comfort the souls of many seniors in heaven."
"Master is not greedy for money. Master just wants to realize the common wishes of many ancestors in his own hands."
"And now in the entire Chunyang Taoist Temple, apart from me, a lay disciple, only Master is left. Master doesn't want the inheritance of the Taoist temple to be cut off in his hands, so he is so eager to recruit disciples to pass on."
"The same was true when Master accepted me. As long as it can prosper my Taoist sect, does it matter whether he is a master or a disciple? When the inheritance of the sect is a problem, no matter how much taboos are avoided, they are no longer taboos."
Xiao Ye sighed and said: "But Brother Xu told me a long time ago that the elixir of immortality cannot be cultivated. Have you and your master failed so many times and still haven't discovered the answer?"
Jiang Daoxuan shook his head: "Maybe Master just doesn't want to believe that the wishes of many seniors were wrong from the beginning. It is precisely because of this obsession that he persists day after day and year after year.
"
Xiao Ye said in surprise: "So, you knew early on that this wish was wrong?"
Jiang Daoxuan said: "I realized it after following Master in alchemy and experiencing repeated failures. However, Master was so persistent that I didn't dare to say it out loud, let alone have any doubts about the ideas firmly believed by the entire Taoist ancestors.
.”
"By the way, you just said that Brother Xu has known for a long time that there is no elixir of immortality and he told you, so why did he ask me for the recipe for elixir? And why did he pay for the elixir out of his own pocket?"
Jiang Dao
But since you know the answer, why do you have to spend your own money without hesitation to support Master's alchemy needs?
Could it be that Brother Xu has become stupid after staying with Xiao Ye for a long time?
Xiao Ye said: "Brother Xu must have his reasons for doing this."
Jiang Daoxuan frowned and said: "Wasting money on a dream that is wrong, is this what Brother Xu means?"
Xiao Ye shook his head and said: "No, as long as I have known Brother Xu, he never does loss-making business. Since he dares to invest money like this, it must be profitable. Since Brother Xu dares to invest, there must be profit."
Make sure you get your money back."
However, Jiang Daoxuan immediately vetoed: "Is there any way to get back the money in alchemy? This will only swallow up the money in your hand like a bottomless pit!"
Xiao Ye glanced at him and said, "I thought the same thing when Brother Xu first started making newspapers."
