After hearing Zhao Ran's defense, Ye Duxiao smiled and said: "If you really interfered in the affairs of Shifang Jungle in the name of the pavilion, I would not talk to you like this today. Since you need it for cultivation,
But I think that the more than 40,000 people in Junshan Temple are enough for you to understand the Taoist heart of the mortal world. You’d better be less concerned with the rest, do you think so?”
Zhao Ran felt a little unhappy when he met such a master. At this age, and his status was in one province and three capitals, he had a prejudice in his heart. If he wanted to change it, it would definitely not be an overnight effort. No matter how much he said at this moment, it would be useless.
, on the contrary, it is easy to intensify conflicts.
Therefore, Zhao Ran fell silent and did not want to say anything more.
Seeing that Zhao Ran was silent, Ye Du said again: "You should think about what I said when you go back." He turned around and asked Bai Tengming: "Why did you come here today?"
Bai Tengming smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just haven't seen Ye Du for a long time, so I came here to visit." After saying that, he took out a gift list from his sleeve and handed it over: "These are some small things I brought with me.
It’s a small local product, nothing valuable, so please accept it with a smile.”
Ye Dujiao took the gift list, glanced at it, picked up a pen to check off a few gifts on the list, and handed it back to Bai Tengming: "Tengming, why are you so polite when you come to my place? I didn't want to accept this gift at first, but look
Now that you are considered my old subordinate... I will not do this next time. Don't give me valuable things. You are getting older. You will save more in the future and your life will be easier after you say goodbye and return to your hometown... I will only accept a few items.
, I have accepted your wishes, okay?"
Bai Tengming was very embarrassed: "I brought all this..."
Ye Dujiao waved his hand and said: "You can take it back after you brought it. Okay, that's it. I have a lot of things to deal with today, so I won't entertain you."
This visit was quite breathtaking. Zhao Ran and Bai both talked about Xuanyuan Guan and remained silent for a long time. Bai Tengming's face was ashen.
Zhao Ran saw that he was in a bad mood, so he took him to wander around the famous scenic spots in Qingcheng Mountain to see the scenery and relax.
Walking to a deserted stream, looking at the gurgling water on the rocks, and listening to the faint chirping of birds in the green forest, Bai Teng finally regained his composure, took a long breath, and said bitterly: "Zhiran, my age
Is it very big? Am I not in good health? He, Ye Yunxuan, is two years older than me, so why would he have the nerve to ask me to resign and go back to his hometown? Why doesn't he resign and go back to his hometown? "
Zhao Ran felt a little relieved when he saw him venting his dissatisfaction. He was really afraid that the old man would say that he had suppressed his health.
"It's also my fault. I shouldn't have told everyone about you going in. He has a prejudice against me, so he told me even when he was tired."
"Bullshit! I'm not stupid yet! He's using your story to stop me! Isn't your name on the greeting card? He even pretends to ask who you are? Fake Taoism! Hypocrisy! I've seen it a long time ago
Yes, this kind of fake Taoism that has passed the imperial examination should not get into our Taoism!"
Zhao Ran asked: "Ye Du said he passed the imperial examination? No wonder I think he looks like a sect. He doesn't look like a Taoist man, but more like a big boss in the Yamen."
Bai Du said: "That's right! Who hasn't seen me, Bai Tengming, in this life? When I went to see Zhao Du Guan, when I went to see Li Supervisor, who didn't respect me? Who didn't get up and give me
Watching? He is the only one sitting there carefree, motionless, and doesn’t even have tea. It’s so unreasonable! If it were Chef Feng, he would have to make tea for me with his own hands!"
Zhao Ran echoed a few words along with Bai Du's words, which fully let out the depression in his heart. Seeing that he felt much better, and occasionally made a few laughs when scolding Ye Yunxuan, knowing that his mood was relieved, he asked:
"What's the next step, Laodu?"
Bai Tengming smiled bitterly and said: "I have lost face in front of you this time, what else can I do? My old man knows a lot of people in Xuanyuan Temple, but there are not many people who can ask for help, so it's up to me.
Thinking that my talents and abilities are not bad, I don’t want to lose face to interact with others..."
Being able to say these words made Zhao Ran a little impressed by the old man. At this age, people are basically very stubborn and never admit mistakes easily, but the old man can regret in front of a young man like Zhao Ran.
, it’s really not easy.
The trip to Qingcheng Mountain was proposed by Zhao Ran on his own initiative. He had already had a response plan. Whether it could succeed or not was another matter. At least he would not be as frustrated as Bai Tengming.
It's just that Bai Tengming wanted to save his family's face in front of the young people and insisted on ringing the bell first. Zhao Ran had no choice but to follow his wishes. Now that the bell was not struck well and hit the south wall, the next step was naturally
We have to follow Zhao Ran's idea.
"I'm just trying to calm down my anger. It's not worth venting my anger on Ye Yunxuan. I'll be so angry that I'll make others laugh at me. We can't compare with Ye Yunxuan in terms of status or power, but we can compete with him to see who can live longer and more.
healthy!"
"Haha, yes, you are right. My old man will happily compete with his Ye Yunxuan every day to see who can endure it and who can't endure it first and say farewell to his hometown!"
Seeing that Bai Teng felt better, Zhao Ran started to get down to business: "Let's go back to Qingcheng Temple first and let Xingmiao Zhupai Laodu take care of the place. After all, he is a landlord and knows where a good place is. I
Let’s find a way to run away first. I’m young and it doesn’t matter if people get angry with me. If something goes wrong, the boss can still step in and clean up the mess. What do you think?”
Bai Tengming nodded, looked at Zhao Ran and said with emotion: "Then I'll help you. I'll go enjoy a few days of happiness. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, it's not a wasted trip to Qingcheng Mountain. At least I can see the scenery and eat the delicious food.
Okay. Zhiran, if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter, don’t force yourself.”
Zhao Ran nodded: "Don't worry, there's no point in forcing this matter, right? By the way, do you still want to give the gift to Ye Yunxuan?"
Bai Tengming let out a sigh of relief and said, "Go ahead and dream about his Spring and Autumn Dream! It's up to you to give it to anyone, or throw it away, but I won't give it to him!"
Zhao Ran gave a thumbs up: "Well done!"
He sent Bai Tengming back to Qingcheng Temple and asked Xingmiaozhu to help with the reception. Xingmiaozhu immediately agreed: "Junior Brother Zhao, don't worry, Bai Dujiao is an old man of our Taoist sect in Sichuan Province, and I will be safe here. Come back.
I will accompany him specially and take him to visit the good places nearby. If I have time, I might as well accompany him to the capital tomorrow..."
Zhao Ran said hurriedly: "Don't be busy in the capital for now. If something happens on the mountain, Bai Du said that we have to go to Xuanyuan Temple. I'm afraid that people will be in the capital by then and won't be able to come back in time."
Xing Miaozhu has seen this kind of thing a lot, and he understood it as soon as he heard it: "No problem, then I wish Junior Brother Zhao everything goes well and that he gets his wish!"
