"Of course, can you talk about this kind of thing nonsense?" the old Taoist said.
"Okay, okay! As long as the person is cured! What's the secret? Let's disperse. Everyone has something to do. Let's go and do our own thing. I still have something to do, and I might have to travel far away soon." Zhao Chuan saw this. Come out and fight haha.
This is an internal matter of Qingfengguan, who cares. One more thing is worse than one less thing. I still want to leave early.
Zhen Yuanzi finally woke up.
Zhao Chuan was very impressed by this True Yuanzi.
From the first time he came to Qingfeng Temple, the first person Zhao Chuan met was Zhen Yuanzi.
In Qingfeng Temple, he is also one of the people he has met the most.
After Zhen Yuanzi regained consciousness, Zhao Chuan naturally had no choice but to ask him about his situation.
It turned out that Xuan Jing, who was Zhao Chuan's third uncle, had sent Zhen Yuanzi to contact various Taoist sects across the Central Plains before going down the mountain, planning to hold a Dharma conference at Qingfeng Temple at the end of the year.
The purpose of convening the Dharma Conference is not to fight with each other, but to elect a chief priest to establish Taoism.
Because there are too many Taoist sects in the world now, and Guangda has nine sects.
They are the Zhengyi sect, Quanzhen sect, Shangqing sect, Wudang sect, Maoshan sect, Longmen sect, Huashan sect, Lingbao sect and Laoshan sect.
Most of these numerous sects are independent of each other and do not communicate with each other. Once something happens, they do not communicate or help each other. If a major incident occurs, the whole sect can easily be destroyed. If this continues, it is not conducive to the development and growth of Taoism in the Central Plains. Just like this time when they went up the mountain to treat the plague for the Marquis of Jiangzhou City, it can be said that the Quanzhen Sect was almost completely wiped out.
Zhao Chuan smiled and asked Zhen Yuanzi, how do you feel when you wake up? It sounds like your thinking is quite clear.
Zhen Yuanzi sighed and said that the things assigned by the host were not done well. He was ashamed of his uncle Xuan Jing as the host, and he was ashamed of everyone's expectations.
Zhao Chuan laughed.
Zhao Chuan said that it would be good to come back. It would be best if he could live well, and don't worry about anything else.
Zhao Chuan briefly told Zhen Yuanzi about Qingfengguan's current situation, and then pointed to the two people who had just entered the yard to restore his divine expertise, that is, the father and son who were locked up in the cave, and asked Zhen Yuanzi about this. what to do?
Naturally, Zhen Yuanzi also knew that before host Xuan Jing left, he told him that Zhao Chuan would be the acting host and that Zhao Chuan would temporarily manage Qingfeng Temple.
Zhen Yuanzi even knew that host Xuan Jing was Zhao Chuan's third uncle.
Zhen Yuanzi asked Zhao Chuan what he should do about this matter? After all, you are the acting host, and the acting host is also the host. Of course, you have to be responsible for managing Qingfeng Guan, even though Qingfeng Guan is on the verge of bankruptcy.
Zhao Chuan said, let's see. I'm afraid of trouble, and I don't want to be a host. I must be a formal Taoist priest. Isn't this a joke? So you guys from Qingfengguan should be the host.
Who does Zhen Yuanzi say should be the one? There has to be an explanation.
Zhao Chuan said, "What else can I say? Whoever wants to take responsibility for this mess should take responsibility."
Zhen Yuanzi laughed and said that it can't be such a child's play. After all, he is the head of the family and is responsible for the entire Qingfeng Temple.
Zhao Chuan thought for a while and said that since the third uncle asked me to take care of the Taoist temple for a few days before he left, until he came back, then you can find someone to replace me and temporarily manage it for a few days.
Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and smiled bitterly and said that you didn't say anything. Since you are the acting host now, it is still up to you to make the decision.
Zhao Chuan was so forced that he said helplessly that you, Zhen Yuanzi, should be the host for a few days.
After hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi's eyes immediately shone with light, saying this and this, is this okay?
Zhao Chuan became a little impatient and said that if you don't want to be the leader, just let the old man next to you who saved you be the leader. Looking at his age, he might be the veteran of Qingfeng Temple.
As soon as Zhao Chuan finished speaking, several other Taoists immediately said yes, this old man is the elder, the junior brother who took over the post.
The junior brother who was the last host? Zhao Chuan was a little surprised.
Several Taoists said yes, because after the previous abbot was killed, the Discipline Academy suspected that he had something to do with it, and found that he had many doubts about the matter. He himself could not explain it perfectly, so he was temporarily incapacitated in Qingfengguan Taoist body. , was pressed into the cave for future reference. Who would have thought that this would last for twenty years...
"Who is this younger man?" Zhao Chuan asked even though he already knew that this younger man was his son.
Several Taoists said that he was his adopted son and came to the cave to accompany him voluntarily after seeing his suffering. This adopted son was not a Taoist, he was just a centurion in the military camp. He came to him for treatment because he had an illness. After the illness was cured, he stopped leaving and stayed at Qingfeng Temple.
Zhao Chuan said I understand, let's leave it as it is, then let this old man manage Qingfeng Temple temporarily. Since Zhen Yuanzi doesn't want to take care of it, and this old man has a lot of experience, he will definitely manage it well.
Zhen Yuanzi hurriedly said, this old man is not a Qingfengguan person, why not let him worry about it, and he is already over 20 years old, and he may not understand the current situation, so it is better to find someone who is suitable for the current situation. Come manage it.
Some people say that it’s not just about managing on behalf of others. It doesn’t matter if you’re not a Guanfengguan person. Isn’t the current acting host also a Qingfengguan person?
Zhao Chuan looked at the other Taoists' intentions and found that they still wanted this old man to come out to manage.
Zhao Chuan thought for a while and asked Zhen Yuanzi what do you mean? If you are asked to take care of it, you don't want to take care of it. But if you let others take care of you, you don't feel at ease?
Zhen Yuanzi smiled awkwardly and said that you misunderstood, I was just worried, and I was not thinking about the development of Qingfengguan.
Zhao Chuan was really tired, so he said, okay, you and this old man will manage it together.
Manage together? What kind of management is this? Everyone was a little puzzled.
Zhao Chuan said that you will take care of it on odd days, and he will take care of it on even days. Oh, by the way, what is this old man's name?
Everyone laughed and said, "How can anyone manage a Taoist temple like this? Isn't this a joke?"
Some people say that the old man's name is Hengyangzi, and he is also known as Yangzhenren.
Zhao Chuan said otherwise, you, Zhen Yuanzi, would act as host, and Hengyangzi would assist you. Is this okay?
Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi didn't speak, Zhao Chuan got angry and said that if he didn't care about it, let this young man manage it. He used to be a centurion in the army and had managed hundreds of soldiers. With a dozen or so people, they will definitely be able to do the job.
After hearing what Zhao Chuan said, Zhen Yuanzi had no choice but to say okay, and he reluctantly agreed.
Zhao Chuan said, that’s it, you can take office immediately and arrange the following matters.
Zhao Chuan said he was about to leave and leave Qingfeng Temple.
Zhen Yuanzi said don't leave in a hurry, are you leaving now?
Zhao Chuan said yes, is there anything else?
Zhen Yuanzi pulled Zhao Chuan aside and said, that's it. Isn't this good?
Zhao Chuan didn't know why and asked what exactly do you want to do? Say it clearly.
Zhen Yuanzi said that as soon as you left, I felt uneasy. The dozen or so Taoists who remain in Qingfeng Temple were not very familiar with me before, because they were old and young, and I had never paid attention to them before. them……
Zhao Chuan said, "What are you afraid of? They won't gang up on you and beat you."
Zhen Yuanzi held back his voice, and the old man said geniusly, "Well, you are right. In the past, they would not fight me as a group, because I was the one who beat them before... and I have always been the inner alchemy, and Don’t know Kung Fu…”
Zhao Chuan frowned and sighed, "So you still have this problem? You seem to be quite honest."
Zhao Chuan said, let’s go like this. I’ll leave my follower Qi Yatou here first. She knows kung fu and can teach you. Of course, when I left, I told Hengyangzi to let him teach everyone in the Taoist temple, because the world is in trouble now. , all have to protect themselves.
Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi was still ink and wanted to say something, Zhao Chuan didn't want to pay attention to him anymore and walked away on the pretext of having something to do.
Before leaving, Zhao Chuan explained the matter to Qiyatou and Hengyangzi, and then planned to go down the mountain.
Naturally, Qi Yatou didn't want to stay in the mountain, but she had to listen to Zhao Chuan's words. Zhao Chuan only said to let her stay for another two months, which was equivalent to helping him.
Qi Yatou and Zhen Yuanzi sent Zhao Chuan out of the mountain gate and then a long way away.
There are two ways to return to Mengcheng. One is to take the official road that you have walked before and go southwest.
Although it is an official road and is only three to four hundred miles long, many of the mountain roads are difficult to walk, so it takes five or six days to travel by carriage.
The other is to take the waterway, take a luxury passenger ship to the dock outside Jiangzhou City, follow the river south to Yangshan County, then go ashore and take a bus to Mengcheng. This is not fast either. It is a longer journey and only takes three or four days to get there. The important thing is that it costs more money.
But now Zhao Chuan is not short of money, and he plans to take the water route. Once people get used to enjoying, they will always think about being comfortable.
To go to Jiangzhou Pier, you have to pass through Xintang Town.
Zhao Chuan was also about to go see Wang Decai and Damao.
Zhao Chuan's estimate before he arrived was correct. Wang Decai in the town was doing very well. The soldiers who captured the young men didn't even touch Wang Decai. On the contrary, the corps commander sent a few soldiers to stand guard in front of his shop until the army arrived. The soldiers withdrew.
The reason why the soldiers took such good care of Wang Decai was for no other reason than that Wang Decai had given him enough money. Not only that, Wang Decai also asked the soldiers to take care of Damao and the inn. After Zhao Chuan heard about it, he said, Wang Decai, you are getting better and better as a person.
Wang Decai just smiled and said it was nothing important to talk about trivial matters. It’s just that I haven’t seen you for many days, brother, and I miss you very much.
Zhao Chuan secretly scolded you, are you thinking that I can make elixirs to make money for you again?
After staying in Wang Decai's pharmacy for a while, Zhao Chuan wanted to leave. First, because he is very busy. Ever since Zhao Chuan supplied him with elixirs, this town has become famous. Of course, the reason for its fame is that Wang Decai's pharmacy has good medicines, and people come here for his elixirs.
The second reason is that Wang Decai's wife always wants to seduce Zhao Chuan and constantly invites Zhao Chuan to the inner room to drink tea, saying that the front hall is too crowded and the atmosphere is bad.
Zhao Chuan didn't want to go, although Wang Decai pretended not to see his wife's actions.
Wang Decai's wife became more and more bold, and even took Zhao Chuan to the back room. In such a large public, she was so wanton that she wished there was a bed, so she could push Zhao Chuan down on the bed and execute him on the spot.
Wang Decai couldn't stand it anymore and deliberately coughed a few times.
Only then did Zhao Chuan get free, and he walked out of the store without saying a word in embarrassment.
"Hey! Don't leave in a hurry? I, I still have something to trouble you. Mr. Zhao, hey! Brother Zhao..."
Wang Decai shouted and chased him out, but Zhao Chuan pretended not to hear and walked quickly.
Arriving at Qingfeng Inn, Zhao Chuan found that business in the inn was very good.
It's not time to eat yet, but the front hall is full, and only two seats on the third floor are empty.
Not to mention, there were even a few temporary tables set up in the courtyard, and the diners were drinking and chatting.
When Zhao Chuan came in, a waiter hurriedly greeted him and politely said that he wanted to eat now and would have to wait. There are only luxurious seats on the third floor, and there are really no seats for ordinary tables.
I don't know this guy Zhao Chuan. He seems to be a new guy. There are more than one new guy.
After walking around a few times upstairs and downstairs, I couldn't see where Da Mao was, not even the old alien shopkeeper with blue eyes from the Western Regions.
On the second floor, Zhao Chuan wanted to take a nap, but saw that the door to the upper room specially reserved for him was tightly locked, and there was even a seal on the door, which belonged to the government.
What is this big guy doing? Zhao Chuan was a little angry, and there was no place to take a rest.
Has the inn changed owners? Zhao Chuan was puzzled.
