After listening to the Taoist priest's words, Qin Yu couldn't help laughing. When the Taoist priest saw the smile on Qin Yu's face, he became angry because Qin Yu's smile seemed to him a provocation.
"Boss Qin, your son doesn't believe me. Let me tell you, I, Wang Feng, studied Taoism with my master when I was twelve years old. It has been thirty years now. I have done more than a hundred rituals. Who in the whole town has this
The priest did not call me."
"Just this time, Boss Li's mother in the next village is also in her 90s and has invited me several times. I saw that Boss Qin is more sincere, so I agreed to it, Boss Qin."
Hearing what the Taoist said, Qin's father smiled on his face, but there was a look of disdain in his heart. What kind of sincerity? Isn't it because the Qin family paid twice as much as the Li family in the next village?
However, Qin's father had no choice. There were no Taoist temples near the town, and generally those who performed these rituals were only gentlemen from the town, who were not actually real Taoist priests.
On weekdays, I also do farm work and even other jobs. I only wear the robe when there is work to do. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is more like a part-time job.
The person who spoke was called Taoist Bai, and he was the leader of this group of Taoist priests. He usually took the jobs, and when he was done, he would call people over.
In fact, to put it bluntly, he has the same nature as a contractor. Several other Taoist priests work with him. He pays these Taoist priests a certain salary every day. As for the bonuses given by the master, he takes them alone.
However, this phenomenon is also related to the fact that the appearance fees for authentic Taoist priests are too expensive. If you really want to invite a Taoist priest from a Taoist temple to perform a ritual, tens of thousands of dollars is impossible.
No ordinary rural family would be willing to spend so much money for a funeral. Although Qin Yu is not short of money, such a birthday is paid for by all the descendants of his grandparents. It is impossible for him to do it alone.
Even if he wants to take care of everything, he has to consider the thoughts of other relatives.
"Boss Qin, in short, I don't know how to recite the longevity sutra. If your son really wants to pay homage, just wait until the last day." Taoist Bai looked arrogant, and he did have the capital.
Generally speaking, if you speak softly, you will be polite, but Taoist Bai and the others are different. There are only so many Taoist priests in the whole town, and he knows them all. If he quits, the Qin family will not be able to find them.
To the Taoist priest.
So he is not afraid of the Qin family being angry, because Mingshou has already begun, and if something goes wrong if he gives up halfway, it will only be the Qin family that will be embarrassed.
"Since you don't know how to recite the longevity sutra, you can leave." Qin Yu's expression also turned cold at this moment. He had already seen that the Taoist priest just wanted bonuses for what he said before.
Maybe ordinary people will be fooled by Taoist Bai's words, but who is Qin Yu? His understanding of Taoism is enough to surpass Taoist Bai.
"What do you mean?"
Taoist Bai's face suddenly turned cold. Seeing that Qin Yu ignored him, he looked at Qin's father, "Boss Qin, is this your son's attitude?"
Qin Yu was also stunned for a moment, and looked at Qin Yu. When he saw Qin Yu nodding to him, he suddenly remembered his son's ability.
Yes, my son is much more capable than this Taoist Bai, so there is no need to be angry with this Taoist Bai anymore. He really treats himself as an uncle when he is paid to work.
"Since sir, you are not willing to recite the birthday blessing sutra, then forget it, we will have to find someone who is willing." Qin's father also replied in a nonchalant manner.
Taoist Bai had a look of disbelief on his face. It was obvious that he did not expect Qin's father to say such words, which was tantamount to asking him to leave.
"Boss Qin, do you know what you mean by saying this?" Taoist Bai said with a gloomy face.
"Don't you understand what my dad means? Just get out of here." Qin Yu said angrily. Several Taoist priests who knew nothing could even recite scriptures with typos. How dare such Taoist priests come out?
Take the job.
"Okay, okay, Boss Qin, this is what you said, don't come and beg me when the time comes." Taoist Bai blew his beard and glared in anger, and then said to the group of Taoist priests behind him: "Let's go, we won't do anything anymore."
Qin Yu had a self-conscious expression on his face, and Qin's father hesitated for a moment, but then he said: "Mr. Bai, I believe there are many gentlemen in the world who can do dharma."
"Yes, there are many gentlemen in the world who can practice law, but I can tell you that there is no gentleman in the whole town who will take your job. When the time comes, it will be useless even if you beg me."
Taoist Bai was furious. He had never encountered such a situation before. Someone dared to drive him away. This time he decided to make the Qin family completely embarrassed.
Taoist Bai has this confidence because almost all the people in the town who know some Taoist rituals are his people. As long as he says hello, these people will never dare to offend him and take over the Qin family's rituals.
As for people from other towns, he is even less afraid, because each of them has their own place to eat, and no one will cross the line. Otherwise, they are deliberately looking for trouble.
In the past, those who stepped on the line like this would be lightly beaten, or the more severe ones would be to directly smash the guy who was eating.
Although it is not possible to do this in a society governed by law, the rules of the industry are still there. The job-receiving gentlemen in other towns will not be at odds with the Qin family. Otherwise, everyone will grab jobs, which will only make it more difficult to do business.
.
"Without Butcher Wang, we can't eat pigs with hair on them." Qin Yu sneered. He had known for a long time that there were some underlying rules in this industry, but he didn't expect these people to be so arrogant.
"The rituals cannot be stopped. I want to see where you can find the Taoist priest then. Let's go." Taoist priest Bai waved his hand and walked outside.
"Mr. Bai, what's going on?"
"Mr. Bai, why are you leaving?"
When the Qin family members saw Taoist Bai coming out with his people, everyone's faces showed surprise and they all started asking.
"Your Qin family temple is too big to accommodate me, so you should hire someone else." Taoist Bai snorted coldly, but he revealed that he left because of Qin Yu and his son.
"Mr. Bai, don't be angry, let's go take a look first."
Several elders of the Qin family stopped Mr. Bai and his group. If Mr. Bai and his group were allowed to leave, the Qin family would be in great disgrace if the birthday party could not be held.
"I'm not being pretentious, it's just that the young man is too irritating. If we Sanqing disciples don't have any temper, it will simply be an embarrassment to the Patriarch."
In the end, Taoist Bai did not leave and followed the Qin family back to the ancestral hall. However, the meaning of his words was also clear. If the Qin family could not give him a good explanation, he would still leave.
At this moment, inside the ancestral hall, Qin Yu was answering the phone.
"Okay, thank you very much. Let me know when you arrive."
Qin Yu hung up the phone, and at the same time the elders of the Qin family walked in.
"Fourth Grandpa, it's okay. Since Taoist Bai doesn't want to recite scriptures, I won't bother Taoist Bai." Qin Yu said with a smile.
"Xiaoyu, this is no joke." The elders of the Qin family all frowned, that is, Qin Yu. If it were other elders, they would have scolded him.
"Fourth Grandpa, don't worry. I have arranged for the Taoist priest to come over. He will arrive in about a few hours." Qin Yu assured.
"It will be there in a few hours, how funny!" The white Taoist priest showed disdain on his face at this moment, "If you can find someone to take over this ritual today, I will never do it again from now on.
.”
"Mr. Bai, I think you should not say such big words. You have already contacted Xiaoyu and they will be here soon."
Although Qin's father couldn't stand Taoist Bai's behavior, he still didn't want Taoist Bai to lose his money because of this. After all, you don't want to have a deep hatred, nor do you want to ruin someone's money.
"I have contacted you. Then you can tell me where the Taoist priest is?" Taoist Bai still looked arrogant and disbelieving.
"Taoist from Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain." Qin's father replied because he heard something Qin Yuhe said on the phone, which mentioned Tianshi Mansion.
"Haha, that's really funny. You guys are really bragging about not drafting."
Hearing Father Qin's words, Taoist Bai laughed loudly, with no worry on his face. Previously, he was worried that someone from other towns would come to steal business, but now he is not worried at all.
"The Taoist priests from the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain never leave Longhu Mountain to perform services. Even those who are rich and powerful cannot be invited. You actually told me that the Taoist priests from the Tianshi Mansion will come over. I'm really laughing.
It’s killing me.”
Taoist Bai's words made the elders of the Qin family look a little ugly. Just when they were about to speak, Qin Yu took the lead and said, "Since you don't believe it, just watch here. I just hope you can wait for a while."
Be able to remember what you said."
"Okay, I'll wait here. If you can really find the Taoist priest from Tianshi Mansion, I will do what I say."
Taoist Bai really didn't leave, and the elders of the Qin family saw Qin Yu's expression and hesitated for a moment without saying anything. They thought, it would be best if Qin Yu really called the Taoist priests from Tianshi Mansion later.
If not, Taoist Bai is still here. When the time comes, I can apologize and give Taoist Bai some more money so that Taoist Bai can continue to practice.
Everyone stayed in the ancestral temple without moving, waiting quietly.
Two hours later, a young man from the Qin family suddenly ran to the ancestral hall and shouted: "Dozens of Taoist priests have come to our house, saying they are looking for cousin Qin Yu."
"Dozens of Taoist priests?" Everyone present was stunned for a moment. Only Qin Yu was not surprised at all, although he only asked Zhang Jiyu on the phone to arrange for seven or eight Taoist priests to come over.
"I don't believe that he can really be a Taoist priest from the Angel Mansion." Taoist Bai still didn't believe it and followed Qin Yu towards the outside of the ancestral hall. He wanted to see for himself.
