"Big Brother, Master...what kind of person is he?"

Fu Xiaoguan asked casually while brewing a pot of tea.

Su Jue was stunned for a moment and said, "Master is a noble person."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Master grew up in a Taoist temple and became famous forty years ago. He would leave the temple and travel around the world roughly every three years, bringing back a disciple. This disciple must be extremely talented in martial arts and an orphan."

Fu Xiaoguan poured Su Jue a cup of tea and asked, "So, Master had already attained sainthood forty years ago?"

Su Jue nodded, straightened his hat, his face serious, his eyes full of admiration, "The martial arts world today is mainly divided into four major sects, but the one who is truly the best in martial arts is generally recognized as the master."

This master whom I have never met is quite amazing!

Could it be that he was completely obsessed with martial arts when he traveled through time?

At this moment, Su Su and Xu Xinyan came over and sat at the table.

Fu Xiaoguan asked, "Where's the third senior sister?"

Su Su pouted, "Third Senior Sister chased me away. She's playing mahjong with your three wives."

Fu Xiaoguan laughed, and Su Jue suddenly asked, "What happened at Confucius Temple this afternoon... I went to see it later. What happened?"

"That place was once home to treasures from the previous dynasty. It was said to be a mountain of gold, but it's gone."

Su Jue frowned, "Where did you go?"

Fu Xiaoguan smiled and said, "I don't know, but what is certain is that someone kidnapped it in advance."

Su Jue suddenly remembered what Fu Xiaoguan had asked him about his master. He looked at Fu Xiaoguan thoughtfully and said seriously, "You said he wasn't the Great Elder of the Moon Worship Sect!"

"Big Brother, do you have any of Master's calligraphy?"

Fu Xiaoguan did not answer Su Jue's question at this moment, but asked a question.

Su Jue sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't really feel anything, so he shook his head.

"Big Brother, the daily expenses of the Taoist academy should be quite high. Where does the Taoist academy's income come from?"

When this question was asked, even Su Su's expression became serious.

Su Jue replied, "The academy has enrolled three thousand outer disciples, and all expenses are covered by the tuition paid by the outer disciples."

He thought for a moment and added, "The martial arts world regards the Taoist temple as the leader. Many people want to join the Taoist temple, but the Taoist temple doesn't accept many people. Moreover, there is a rule."

"What rules?"

"Whoever gets the most silver can enter the Taoist temple and become an outer disciple!"

Fu Xiaoguan was stunned. He had never expected this rule.

Since we are accepting disciples, even if they are from the outer sect, shouldn't we prioritize martial arts talent?

This Taoist temple actually only cares about money!

"Who made this rule?"

"That's right, Master. Master said that life in the Taoist temple was a little hard and needed to be improved, so he changed to the current rules. Since this rule was established, life in the Taoist temple has indeed become much better."

Fu Xiaoguan laughed. He was basically certain that this master was a time traveler.

Who else would have such a wild imagination?

Combined with what Su Jue said before, this master would leave the mountains and travel around the world every three years, which means that disciples of the Taoist temple like Su Jue had no idea where he went.

If he infiltrated the Moon Worship Sect and became the Grand Elder of Cemen, and the previous Grand Elder of Cemen, Chen Zhaojun, passed the key to the treasure to him, but he asked Fu Daguan to kill Chen Zhaojun in Confucius Temple, then he would be the only one in the world who knew where the treasure was, and he would be the only one who had the key to open it.

After so many years, with the strength of a Saint-level master, he might really be able to empty that mountain of gold.

What a good trick!

What does this senior who traveled through time want to do with so much money?

Fu Xiaoguan was now extremely interested in this master, but he had no intention of telling Emperor Xuan about this.

At least he didn't intend to tell anyone until he understood the master's intention.

It is not easy to travel through time. He finally met someone of the same kind, and at least for now he cherishes it very much.

Since he wrote that poem, he must be a Chinese. Chinese people do not kill Chinese people.

But he wanted to meet this Chinese man.

So he said, "Big Brother, I want to see Master. How about we set off early tomorrow morning?"

Su Jue felt that this matter was increasingly serious.

Fu Xiaoguan refused to go to Qingyun Mountain when he was invited before, but he changed his mind after what happened in Confucius Temple today.

He asked seriously, "Are you really the master?"

"No, I just want to see him."

"Junior brother, you touched your nose, you are lying!"

Fu Xiaoguan grinned, "You can't even hide this from me?" His expression gradually became serious. "This matter is limited to the four of us. Don't let it spread outside, otherwise it will be extremely detrimental to the Taoist Academy!"

Xu Xinyan and the other two nodded. Su Su looked at Fu Xiaoguan nervously. Fu Xiaoguan whispered, "It's just my suspicion."

"You've never even met the master, so how could you possibly suspect him?"

"Because no one else can do it except him who has all the conditions."

Su Jue took a deep breath. He understood what his junior brother said. Master... might really be the Grand Elder of Cemen of the Moon Worship Sect!

This was hard for him to believe, but he had to believe it because it was Fu Xiaoguan who said it.

"If...it's really Master, what are you going to do?"

"I don't know either, so I have to meet him to know what I should do."

"...Okay, tomorrow morning, we'll set off for Qingyun Mountain."

Su Su thought for a moment and said, "I'll go too."

Xu Xinyan thought for a moment and said, "I want to go too!"

Fu Xiaoguan nodded. Su Jue was silent for a long time and then said, "I am his disciple. If one day he becomes your enemy, I am afraid I cannot help you."

"Maybe it's not as serious as you think."

Su Jue raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky. "I still find it hard to believe. Master is such a kind person. He is obsessed with swordsmanship and stargazing. He often said that the world will eventually unite after a long period of division, and that all of this can be glimpsed from the movement of the stars in the sky..."

"Why does he want that mountain of gold? Over the years, the Taoist temple has long been old and has not been repaired. At the end of last year, the Taoist temple was built on Nanshan Mountain with the money that the master had saved for a long time."

Su Jue shook his head. "If he really had that golden mountain, he would have built a Taoist temple all the way to Fan State. It was Master's dream to have Taoist temples spread across the land. He once said that since Buddhism is so prosperous now, Taoism must also flourish. Otherwise, when Buddhism spreads eastward, Taoism will probably have no place to stand."

"A person like this... I hope it's not as serious as I thought."

Fu Xiaoguan listened to Su Jue's words, looked at the Xuanwu Lake covered with moonlight, and his thoughts drifted to the poem "Farewell to Cambridge".

"Dreaming? Pole with a long pole.

Wandering back to where the grass is greener;

A boat full of starlight,

Singing in the starry sky..."

By that time, how many ships had he shipped out?
