Zhang Lingfeng did not expect that the scholar who robbed him of his position turned out to be the medical sage Xu Xian, which also proved that Xu Xian was the person shown in the hexagram.
Zhang Lingfeng first saw that Xu Xian was just a gentle scholar without any noble temperament, so he thought he was not the person shown by the hexagram.
After seeing the sign Xu Xian put on the ground, Zhang Lingfeng finally confirmed that Xu Xian was the person whose hexagram showed up, and decided to worship Xu Xian as his teacher. However, Xu Xian deceived him by claiming that he was just an awakened person.
After Xu Xian crippled Fu'an with one move and revealed his identity, Gao Yanei was so frightened that he rolled away. Zhang Lingfeng finally confirmed that Xu Xian was really the person he was looking for, but he hid it too well.
Zhang Lingfeng wanted to mention the matter of apprenticeship again, but he couldn't lose face because he didn't want to be a capricious villain.
However, the important task of revitalizing Tianshi Tao in Longhu Mountain lies with Zhang Lingfeng. If Xu Xian is willing to accept disciples, the fate of Longhu Mountain will be rewritten and it will become a true Taoist holy land.
Even if Zhang Lingfeng was embarrassed, he still wasn't sure whether Xu Xian was a cultivator or an awakened one.
Zhang Lingfeng asked tentatively:
"Senior Xu, you should be a cultivator, right? It's impossible for an awakened person to have such terrifying strength?"
Xu Xian is only in his early twenties, but he is called senior by a middle-aged man in his forties. This is simply too funny.
Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said:
"Call me Senior Xu, am I that old?"
Zhang Lingfeng said:
"In the world of cultivation, seniority is not judged by age, but by strength. With Xu's strength, he deserves to be called senior."
Xu Xian said:
"Unfortunately, I am an awakened person and do not belong to the world of cultivation."
Zhang Lingfeng said:
"According to Pindao's calculation, Donor Xu is not an awakened person, but a cultivator."
When Xu Xian was dealing with Gao Yanei, Zhang Lingfeng wanted to know Xu Xian's identity and did some calculations, but he could only see a mass of fog and nothing.
This is not normal!
Regardless of whether he is a civilian, an official, an awakened person, or a cultivator, there are always traces to be found under Zhang Lingfeng's innate magic, but everything about Xu Xian is a mist and cannot be calculated at all.
This also means that Xu Xian is a terrifying existence that can conceal the secrets of heaven, and is definitely not an ordinary awakened person.
Since he couldn't deduce everything about Xu Xian, Zhang Lingfeng wanted to cheat, hoping to gain something.
As a result, Zhang Lingfeng was disappointed.
Xu Xian just said lightly:
"Then you must have made a miscalculation. Maybe your innate magic has failed."
Zhang Lingfeng's innate magic did not work on Xu Xian, but it was not that the calculation was wrong, but that it could not be seen at all.
Xu Xian refused to admit it, and Zhang Lingfeng had nothing to do. He only blamed himself for not being firm enough at the beginning and not persisting more. He missed the opportunity to become a disciple and could never go back.
At this moment, a voice caught Xu Xian's attention.
"My husband, we have been married for many years, and I have always regretted that I could not give birth to a son and a half for my husband.
Since we last offered incense and made a wish at Dongyue Temple, we became pregnant in just one month. The Bodhisattva in Dongyue Temple is really good.
When you come here to repay your vow this time, sir, please be sincere so as not to offend the Bodhisattva. "
A hearty voice sounded, laughing and saying:
"Speaking of the Bodhisattva spirit, it is better to say that I, Lin Chong, am in luck. I hate those monks who pretend to be gods and ghosts the most in my life.
It is said that in troubled times Taoist priests go down to save the world, while in prosperous times monks open doors to make money. '
What Lin admires the most are those Taoist priests who only came out to help the world in troubled times and retired to practice in the mountains during times of peace and prosperity. Unlike those monks who closed their doors to avoid disasters in troubled times and hid in temples and did not dare to come out. In times of peace and prosperity, they worked hard to make money. "
In troubled times, the lives of ordinary people are as worthless as trash.
Those in the ruling class are also in fear. They are afraid that someone else will take their throne. In troubled times, everyone is precarious.
There is a saying in Taoist teachings:
"Practice as hard as you can in prosperous times, and help the common people in troubled times."
Therefore, in troubled times, many Taoist priests went down the mountain to save sentient beings, such as Jiang Taigong, Liu Bowen and others.
Buddhism mainly talks about the afterlife. What it preaches to the people is that as long as you do good deeds and accumulate more virtues in this life, you will have good rewards in the next life.
But if ordinary people are in hungry and troubled times, they only think about how to not be hungry or how to survive. This is happiness for them, and they cannot think about the afterlife.
Relatively speaking, Taoism talks about this life.
Because of this difference, there is a saying that Taoist priests go down the mountain to save the world in troubled times, while monks close their doors to avoid disaster.
It is true that some monks collected a lot of money for sesame oil in the years of peace, but if the country was in trouble, they would hide in the temple and dare not come out.
The second half of this sentence is:
"In the prosperous times, Taoist priests retired to the mountains, and monks went out to collect money."
I believe many people have discovered that many Taoist temples are not as popular and popular as temples. Part of the reason is because Taoist temples are built in deep mountains and few people know about them.
After people's economic income has increased a lot, they hope that their children and grandchildren will always live a happy life, so they will go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, so that the incense in the temple is flourishing.
Xu Xianxun looked around and saw the man with a leopard's head and eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard, eight feet in length and a figure of thirty-four or five years old. He was none other than the legendary Lin Chong.
Lin Chong was accompanied by a gentle, graceful and quite delicate woman, who was Lin Chong's wife Zhang.
There is a pretty and lovely little girl beside Zhang, she is Yahuan Jin'er.
Lin Chong, Zhang and Jin'er went to Dongyue Temple to offer incense. Lin Chong stopped for Lu Zhishen, who was tearing down the weeping willows, and asked Zhang and Jin'er to go to the temple to fulfill their vows. They met Gao Yanei, which led to the tragedy that followed.
Now that they have met, Xu Xian wanted to change Lin Chong's fate and said:
"Taoist Priest, you asked Gao Yamen to get out of the way when he encountered Lin in order to avoid getting killed. Now that Lin Chong has appeared, why didn't you say anything?"
Zhang Lingfeng's innate skills were limited in what he could detect, and he didn't know that the word "Lin" he was talking about was Lin Chong.
After hearing what Xu Xian said, Zhang Lingfeng took out the copper coins from his sleeve and made a fortune on the spot.
Looking at the hexagram, Zhang Lingfeng was shocked and said:
"Senior Xu's innate skills are even better than those of Pindao. Pindao has mastered the tricks of his trade."
Xu Xian said:
"Now that you know Lin Chong is in trouble, haven't you ever thought of doing something?"
Considering that Lin Chong was in trouble, Zhang Lingfeng was obliged to help Lin Chong survive this disaster.
However, at this moment, Zhang Lingfeng felt that it was more appropriate for Xu Xian to take action and said:
"I'm a poor Taoist with limited skills. I'm afraid I won't be able to help Coach Lin avoid this disaster. I would like to ask Senior Xu to take action."
Xu Xian was dressed like a scholar and was too young. Lin Chong might have thought that he was a charlatan because he acted rashly.
Xu Xian said:
"Lin Chong praises you Taoist priests. He must be more in agreement with your Taoist priests' conduct. It is more appropriate for the Taoist priest to step in."
Zhang Lingfeng muttered:
"Lin Chong didn't ask Pindao for fortune telling. Pindao went over to give him some advice, which would be a loss of status.
However, now that Senior Xu has spoken, Pindao has no choice but to take action.
Senior Xu, you owe Pindao a favor, remember it, and you will pay it back. "
After finishing speaking, Zhang Lingfeng walked quickly towards Lin Chong.
Looking at Zhang Lingfeng's retreating back, Xu Xian felt that he seemed to have been fooled.
I don't know how to repay my debt to Zhang Lingfeng. Is he going to become a disciple again?
"I only say that I am an awakened person. Even if Zhang Lingfeng wants to become a disciple, I will not teach him anything."
After figuring it out, Xu Xian no longer worried about Zhang Lingfeng's apprenticeship.
