Wang Yun and Pei Jing led a group of Taoist priests inside the temple to the outside of the temple. They happened to see a group of well-armored and majestic soldiers standing outside the temple gate, divided into several teams, and surrounded the Taoist temple.
The pottery merchant was wearing a black robe, with his hands behind his back, looking at the blue sky calmly. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be enjoying the leisure and comfort of taking a break from the busy work.
Wang Yun couldn't help being stunned when he saw the pottery merchant's appearance.
We haven't seen each other for more than a year and a half, but this boy's appearance is no different from before. He is still as serious and handsome, and there is always a smile that doesn't want to be beaten at the corner of his mouth.
But his temperament is completely different from that of back then.
Wang Yun entered the officialdom very early and went through three dynasties. What kind of person has he not seen over the years?
Now when I first see the pottery merchant, although there is no change in appearance, the pottery merchant's graceful demeanor, which is unruffled and self-defeating, and ranks above ten thousand people, has already taken shape, and vaguely, it still seems to be a bit murderous.
gas.
Wang Yun sighed secretly in his heart, feeling happy and regretful at the same time.
Has this child finally embarked on this road of no return?
When Pei Jing saw his master, he did not dare to neglect him. He hurried over, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "I have seen the master!"
The pottery merchant came over, touched Pei Jing with his empty hand, and said, "You have worked very hard for more than a year. When you return to Jinling, I will reward you for your merits."
"The last general will not dare to take credit!" Pei Jing was very self-aware.
While he was talking, he saw Wang Yun walking up to the pottery merchant angrily and said angrily: "Tao Zidu, why don't you say hello to me? You have no rules! What? This person who became a tutor has all the airs of an official.
It’s too big!”
The potter looked at Wang Yun doubtfully, but saw that his forehead was surprisingly large, and there was a faint wound that had just stopped bleeding.
"Who is your Excellency?" the pottery merchant asked doubtfully.
Wang Yun sniffed and was very dissatisfied.
"I'm Wang Yun! What a good boy, you haven't seen me for more than a year, but you don't even recognize me?"
The potter squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, then he showed a look of surprise.
"It turns out to be Mr. Situ. I'm disrespectful. After nearly two years of separation, Mr. Situ is still full of energy and energy. My nephew is very relieved... It's your head, why is it getting bigger and bigger?"
Wang Yun's whole face turned red after hearing this.
Why is this bastard so angry at me when we meet?
Wang Yun took a deep breath, calmed down the anger in his chest, and said: "Good boy, you are so rude! You just called yourself my nephew, but you don't know that you are now the son-in-law of the Wang family in Taiyuan. How can I call myself my nephew?"
Not rude?"
The potter touched the bridge of his nose, secretly thinking that he had been negligent.
He straightened his posture again, bowed to Wang Yun, and said respectfully: "My son-in-law has met my father-in-law."
"Hahahaha!" Wang Yun's anger that had been accumulated for many years burst out in an instant.
"My dear son, get up! There is no need to be so polite to me."
The corner of the pottery merchant's mouth twitched.
I haven't seen him for more than a year, but this old man is still so annoying.
Teacher Huangfu Song was such a good person, but he passed away early, leaving this old troublemaker living more and more vigorously every day.
It really goes with the saying: Good people don’t live long, but misfortunes live for thousands of years.
Old man Wang Yun was not satisfied after taking advantage. He suddenly flicked the hem of his Taoist robe, stood on the same spot with his golden sword, and said triumphantly: "Come on, good son-in-law, give one to your father-in-law!"
The potter's expression changed instantly.
"My father-in-law, are you here to take revenge on me?"
Wang Yun's two big, cloudy eyes stared hard.
"What's the matter? I asked you to kowtow to me, but you still dare to resist me? Are you not convinced? I will report to the court later and accuse you of a grave crime of unfilial piety!"
Tao Shang pointed at Wang Yun and said: "You are avenging a private vendetta! You are bullying me with the power of your father-in-law! How can I break up with you!"
Pei Jing's head was covered with sweat. He stepped forward to stop this pair of "weird sons-in-law" and said with a smile: "You two, you two! We haven't seen each other for so long, why are they all so big?" Angry? You have to worry about your wife’s face no matter what, right?”
Wang Yun snorted and said to Pei Jing: "What you said is quite reasonable. I am not the same as Diao Chan when it comes to Diao Chan."
The pottery merchant chuckled, turned to the soldiers and said, "Bring the gifts into the Taoist temple."
When he finished speaking, he saw the soldiers of the Tiger Guard moving the gifts on the carriage down one by one.
Wang Yun's expression seemed to be relieved, and he said: "You have good intentions! But I am an outsider now, what do you want with these many gifts? If the immortal root is damaged, it will be very bad. "
The pottery merchant grinned at him: "Father-in-law, you misunderstood... These are all given to the gods, and you have no share."
Wang Yun's hand that touched his white beard tugged hard and pulled off a handful of it, causing Wang Yun to grin in pain.
This little bastard!
The old man turned around and said to Pei Jing: "Look, look! What kind of attitude does he have... How can there be such a dishonest son-in-law? It's unheard of! If it doesn't work, I will use the fairy sword to swish him once and let him grow up. Remember it, what do you think?"
Pei Jing wiped the sweat from his face and said helplessly: "Situ Daren... you'd better use your magical powers!"
…
After entering the Taoist temple and offering white water, Wang Yun and other important Taoist priests stayed in the main hall to accompany them, while the rest of the lower-level Taoist priests stayed outside the hall and waited.
The potter drank some water, and then said to the Taoist priests: "Tao is the son-in-law of Wang Situ's family. I feel deeply ashamed to come to Guiguan to disturb you, so I offer some small gifts to express Tao's respect for Guiguan." I would like to ask all Taoist priests not to refuse."
An old Taoist priest who was probably in his fifties said respectfully to the pottery merchant: "I am very grateful to you for your kindness."
The potter looked around and said: "I have admired the name of Taoist Master for a long time. He is known as a god in the south of the Yangtze River. I wonder where Yu Daozhang is now? Tao hopes to meet him."
The old Taoist priest said to Tao Shang: "My master goes out to preach at the end of the Yin hour every day and comes back at the end of the Chen hour. Judging by this time, it should be almost the same time. Master, please sit down and wait for a while."
The pottery merchant stood up and said: "Although Yu Shenxian is an outsider, he has a good reputation in the south of the Yangtze River. Tao is waiting indoors, which is too big. I think it is almost time, so I go to watch." Foreign Minister Hou."
The fundamental reason why Tao Shang wanted to see Yu Ji was to ask him to help him see if his father's health could be saved. Tao Qian was still gasping for breath and might die at any time.
Although he doesn't have high expectations, the potter is still willing to try his best for his father.
Since you are asking for something from others, there is nothing wrong with being more sincere.
The Taoist priests tried to dissuade him several times, but the pottery merchant refused to comply. In desperation, the Taoist priests went to the temple with the pottery merchant and stood waiting.
After standing for a while, I suddenly heard the sound of "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, bell." A thin old man with a wrinkled face and white hair and white beard walked over from far away.
The old Taoist priest came to the Taoist temple and was about to walk inside when he suddenly saw the many Tiger Guards soldiers surrounding the Taoist temple. A trace of doubt appeared in his muddy old eyes.
"Lord Infinite Life... Could it be that I went to the wrong door today? It shouldn't be possible. This is my home."
