Since the person he was welcoming was one of his own, Chu Chen did not use the secret method to hide him. If he was more sophisticated, he would be able to see his true age, so it was not surprising that everyone was amazed.
Chu Chen was not surprised. He smiled and saluted everyone with fists in his arms:
"Fellow Taoists, do you not believe that I am the headmaster of Wanquan Taoist Academy?"
After hearing Chu Chen's words, the people on the deck felt like they were waking up from a dream. They bowed slightly and bowed in return, showing great respect.
Qingdu and Rouyun were no exception. Although they criticized the arrangement of Xianting, they did not dare to underestimate their mountain chief.
The master is a teacher. After all, he is a fifth-grade strong man. His Taoism and cultivation are higher than theirs, so they must treat him with respect.
Chu Chen performed the Taoist priest's fist-holding ceremony while holding the yin and embracing the yang, while they bowed and bowed.
"I've met the mountain chief!"
"No need to be polite."
Chu Chen smiled slightly and led the ship boss to land.
Taoist Feihong, the mountain god, removed the restriction on Guangling Mountain's formation, and the large flying boat was able to successfully land in Guangling Mountain.
After some greetings and getting to know each other, Chu Chen learned that Xianting's hand was not small this time.
With forty doctors and sixty teachers, the teaching staff is quite rich, but what makes Chu Chen most satisfied are the two deputy mountain chiefs of the sixth grade - Taoist priest Qingdu and Kundao Rouyun.
After Chu Chen learned the news last night, he specifically contacted the senior layman Qingzhu through the Buddhist altar and learned about the resumes of Qingdu and Rouyun.
They are not temporary mountain chiefs of Jiuzhou Zhongtu Taoist Academy. They started as teachers and Ph.D.s. They have been preaching and teaching for a long time, educating one party, working hard on the front line of evangelism, having profound attainments in Confucian classics, and being extremely skilled in the exercises in the Taoist academy's exercise library. , all of them are famous teachers with great talents all over the world.
Xianting's performance evaluations have been repeated many times, and both of them are "top". With this transfer, both of them are qualified to serve as the first deputy mountain chief in any state or county Taoist academy.
Now, two people came at once.
This was not only the preferential treatment given to him by senior Qingzhu, but also the fact that he was not at ease with him, so he provided support in the allocation of teachers.
Chu Chen was very satisfied with the teachers sent by Xianting and held a banquet to entertain everyone.
The chosen location for the reception banquet was naturally not Guangling Mountain, but the newly opened Yingke Restaurant in Diyuanfang City, thirty miles away.
On this day, the entire restaurant was booked by him.
When Chu Chen arrived at the restaurant with everyone from Wanquan Taoist Academy, girls from the Shui Tribe were setting up banquets, holding trays in their hands, and placing plates of delicacies on the table like butterflies piercing flowers.
The banquet for the monks is naturally not ordinary delicacies. All the ingredients are spiritual materials. From the meat of spiritual animals to fruits and vegetables, they are all spiritual materials and precious medicines. With dietary supplements, they can nourish the spirit and strengthen the body, which is of great benefit to the practitioners.
When a group of doctors and teachers saw this scene, they started talking about it.
"This...this banquet is also rich."
"Yes, there is actually Blue Mountain Spirit Muntjac meat here. This is a good thing. This dish alone will probably cost one or two hundred jade, right?"
"Then it's necessary. This table costs one or two thousand jade. If there are more than ten tables, then it doesn't cost two to thirty thousand jade?"
...
Taoist Priest Qingdu and Fairy Rouyun were also shocked by the standard of reception. However, they were not happy at first, but frowned slightly.
"Shan Chief, isn't this a bit extravagant and wasteful? It's enough to just arrange a reception banquet. We are not here to enjoy Wanquan in Yunzhou. There is no need to mobilize troops like this. The jade money in our Taoist treasury is already tight and we will need to use it in the future. To cultivate talents..."
Fairy Rouyun couldn't help but bow her hand to Chu Chen and spoke frankly, expressing her objections to Chu Chen's messing up the Taoist temple's money.
When Chu Chen heard this, he smiled and said:
"Fellow Taoist Rouyun has misunderstood. I am hosting this banquet privately for you all. No money will be required from the Taoist temple's treasury. You can rest assured to eat."
Although all the teachers and doctors discussed each other, their attention was always focused on Chu Chen, the mountain leader.
Upon hearing this, everyone on the scene was shocked.
Fairy Rouyun even made a big blush and apologized quickly:
"Shan Chief, I don't know anything about it. Please ask Chief Haihan. Don't blame the poor Taoist for talking nonsense."
"It doesn't matter. Fellow Taoist Rouyun is just a man of justice. How can I blame you?"
Chu Chen smiled and invited everyone to sit down: "Everyone, sit down, no need to be polite, enough drinks!"
As the saying goes, the one who takes advantage of others is short-handed and the one who eats others is soft-mouthed.
Most of the people present could afford twenty or thirty thousand jade coins, but if it were used to treat someone to a meal, few would be willing to part with it.
This generous move made the doctors and teachers at Wanquan Taoist Academy suddenly have a sharp impression of the new mountain leader.
Rouyun and Qingdu were dissatisfied with the personnel arrangements of Xianting, and also criticized the new mountain chief. They believed that he was occupying the manhole and might delay the development of Wanquan Taoist Temple.
However, the two of them received such a grand reception, and their emotions suddenly disappeared.
Everyone accepted their fate. Their boss was unreliable, so the two of them had to work harder next.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Taoist Priest Qingdu and Fairy Rouyun raised their wine glasses to Chu Chen and issued a military order with all their heart:
"Thank you very much for the hospitality, Master Shan. We will try our best to assist Master Zuo and make the operation of Wanquan Taoist Temple flourish and cultivate a group of talents for Yunzhou."
Chu Chen was quite satisfied when he saw the sincerity of the two men. The 20,000 jade coins were not wasted.
"Fellow Taoist Qingdu and Taoist Rouyun, I served as the head of the county Taoist temple in Qingzhou, Central China for a period of time, but I didn't make much achievements in preaching, teaching, and enlightenment. I feel relieved because of your words, and I will continue to work in the future." I have to rely more on my two Taoist friends."
Rouyun felt very comfortable after hearing what the mountain chief said.
After some contact just now, his impression of the new chief changed greatly.
She didn't have the arrogance of the proud leader of the Middle Earth, her free and easy manner, and her sense of worldliness. Even though she went to the post full of emotions, after the contact, she didn't have much temper at all.
"Mountain Chief, don't worry, we will do our best to assist you. Tomorrow we will go to Wanquan County to hold lectures, recruit disciples, and set up a Taoist temple as soon as possible."
When Chu Chen heard this, he was a little surprised. Fairy Rouyun looked gentle, but she didn't expect that she acted vigorously and resolutely.
"Fellow Daoist Rouyun, isn't this a bit hasty? You have been working hard all the way and you haven't rested yet..."
Fairy Rouyun did not speak, but Taoist Priest Qingdu spoke, holding up the wine glass and saying:
"Captain, we are all accomplished monks, so running around is nothing. Our Wanquan Taoist Academy has a weak foundation. If the stupid bird doesn't fly first, the results of the Immortal Court exam will be ugly."
Chu Chen's face was full of weirdness, he raised his wine glass and clinked it:
"Since you two said so, let's go to the county town tomorrow to open a forum to lecture and recruit disciples."
Fairy Rouyun hesitated a little and said:
"Shan Chief, as the head of a hospital, you may be required to preach and preach scriptures at that time. I wonder which classic your natal sutra is?"
Chu Chen said without thinking: ""Huang Ting Jing""
The Taoist Priest of Qingdu hurriedly said: "Master Shan, just teach the Huangting Sutra. We can do the rest of the sutras for you. You don't need to worry about it..."
"That's right, let's give a sermon tomorrow and then choose disciples in the city..."
Rouyun and Qingdu were very enthusiastic. With a word from you and a word from me, they began to ask Chu Chen for instructions on tomorrow's trip at the wine table.
Of course, it was more about asking for instructions than making arrangements. Chu Chen had little experience in this area, so he naturally followed the advice and allowed the two of them to make plans.
...
After a while of drinking and drinking, Chu Chen excused himself to leave temporarily and came to a bamboo forest garden in Fang City.
The layout of the garden is similar to that of the Bamboo Forest Garden in Guangping Ghost Market, and was designed by Qingying herself.
From a distance, they noticed Chu Chen coming, Qingying and Xiao Guizai went out to greet him.
The little kid was holding the incense burner and was enjoying himself. When he saw Chu Chen, he was quite excited:
"Senior brother, I have made a meritorious deed again!"
Chu Chen was speechless and asked: "Little devil, what achievements have you made?"
The little ghost boy put his hands on his hips and said quite proudly:
"Senior brother, do you still remember the shopkeeper of the Golden Toad Pill Pavilion half a month ago? He sent people to follow us and plot evil. I went back to mediate disasters and curse him every day. Hahaha, my magical power came true."
"Sister Ying'er said that the shopkeeper has been plagued by bad luck these days. He has broken into several big scams one after another, causing the Danyao Pavilion to suffer heavy losses. The senior management of Jinchan Pavilion was furious and directly dismissed him from his post and kicked him out of Jinchan Pavilion. .”
"Guess what happened? Without the protection of the Golden Toad Palace, within a few days he was approached by his enemies seeking revenge, and he was killed for no apparent reason. Hahaha, senior brother, I am so powerful. Let's see who dares to look down on me in the future!"
The little kid was elated, with his hands on his hips, and he was so awesome.
Chu Chen was slightly stunned after hearing this.
Good guy, it’s true or false, so awesome!
The shopkeeper must have been a sixth-grade Taoist, but he was inexplicably killed by a little devil casting a spell from the air?
Chu Chen was a little surprised and looked at Qingying.
Qingying smiled and nodded:
"Erlang, you have refined a batch of [Da Bu Yuan Dan] in the past few days. I have not sold it, but plan to take it out after Jinchanling opens a store. These days, I have sent many people to Jinchanling to inquire. A lot of news has arrived.”
"The shopkeeper suddenly suffered from bad luck and suffered many disasters. I'm afraid it was really the handiwork of a little devil."
Qingying touched the little devil's head and praised:
"Our little devil is really powerful. From now on, I will have to rely on you to protect my sister."
The kid nodded heavily and puffed up his chest: "Sister Ying'er, don't worry, anyone who dares to provoke you will be marked by Xiaobo and I will scold him every day."
Chu Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, but he was more pleased. He was very happy to see the little devil's magical powers growing.
The shopkeeper didn't let Chu Chen and Qingying pay too much attention to it and quickly exposed it.
Qingying looked in the direction of the Yingke Restaurant and said with a smile:
"Erlang, I just went to listen. Your deputy commander doesn't seem to have much confidence in you, but he is dedicated to serving the public, so it's hard for you to say anything. Hahaha, this is the first time I've seen you so frustrated."
"There is no way. If my master were to serve as the mountain chief of the County Daoyuan, I am afraid that these things would not happen."
Chu Chen shook his head, but his face was quite calm.
Although he has little experience in preaching and teaching, he has a very solid foundation in Confucian classics and alchemy. Coupled with the magical power of teaching Xia Guang, he does not need other so-called "grandmasters". Daoyuanshan Changchai.
Of course, he didn't explain anything.
Speaking based on his ability, he will definitely be able to impress the two deputy mountain chiefs Qingdu and Rouyun when he lectures tomorrow, changing his previous stereotype.
For a while, Chu Chen was looking forward to the opening lecture in the county town tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen smiled and asked Qingying:
"Ying'er, are you free to listen to my lecture tomorrow?"
Qingying originally wanted to go to Jinchanling to check out the shops tomorrow, but when Chu Chen invited her, she didn't even think about it and said:
"Go, I have nothing to do tomorrow, and I just want to cheer you on."
The little kid was excited and proud: "Sister Ying'er, my senior brother's attainments in Confucian classics have greatly improved these days. His lectures on Confucian classics and Dharma are so good that I can understand them. I'm sure he will impress everyone when the time comes!"
