The two groups looked at each other from a distance, both feeling a little nervous.
Li Le was unaware of their thoughts and walked forward nervously, trying to ignore the Taoist priests and Jiang Ruming's remaining words. But when he really met these Taoist priests here, Li Le was just too embarrassed not to step forward and say hello.
He stepped forward, but even faster than him were the Taoists, who quickly passed Jiang Ruming and arrived in front of Li Lezhi without even having time to open their umbrellas.
The rain in the sky was already drizzling, but this little bit of rain could not stop them from wanting to talk to their ancestors.
But when they really came in front of Li Lezhi, these elderly Taoist priests hesitated again, not knowing how to start the conversation so as not to disturb the old ancestor.
It was the Taoist priest who had only met Li Le once before who pushed them aside and said with a smile: "Master Li, we meet again."
"Master Mu," Li Lezhi still remembered this Taoist priest. He had spoken for him in Xuanyang Palace, but the two of them did not communicate much. Li Lezhi was still a little surprised to see Master Mu here.
He remembered that this Taoist priest Mu was a Taoist priest from Chongshan Temple.
Li Le only looked at the other people, who might also be the Taoist priests of Chongshan Temple. He put aside the nervousness in his heart and said, "Do you have something to talk to me about? If you have something to talk about, why don't you go to the inn across the street first?"
It's better than being caught in the rain.
He spoke, and everyone around him responded. They gathered around him and went to the inn with him.
As for the little rain, it had long been ignored by these Taoists.
Jiang Ruming also wanted to join in the fun. He looked at the rain in the sky and saw that the rain had subsided. With this rainfall, the river channel could still hold up and there would be no signs of overflowing tomorrow.
Although he knew that there would not be any problems, Jiang Ruming was still worried. The only way to feel at ease was to send someone to keep an eye on it. In addition, he was busy with official duties, so he could only let his entourage wait on the side and listen to Taoist Li's instructions.
When Jiang Ruming left, Li Le just turned his head to take a look, then retracted his gaze and was about to follow the Taoist priests into the inn. After the Taoist priests went ahead, he found that he did not move and the Taoist priests did not move either.
Although it was a slight pause, Li Lezhi still sensed something strange and was slightly puzzled. Then he thought about his current identity and suddenly realized that he was no longer a little Taoist priest, but the Prince's Grand Tutor who taught the Crown Prince.
In the eyes of these Taoist priests, he is an official and has a prominent background. Although several Taoist priests are older than him, they still have to be careful about this matter.
Li Le just wanted to understand and then not be polite, so as to avoid embarrassment for both parties.
After entering the inn, Li Le and a few Taoist priests sat in the lobby by the window. Due to the previous incident, there were not many people in the inn today, and they were the only ones sitting around a table.
The waiter brought a pot of hot tea and gently placed it on the table.
Li Le only held the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the five Taoist priests present. When he was pouring the tea, Taoist Priest Mu wanted to take it and stretched out his hand, but he saw that the cup of tea was already full.
They thought that it was Master Sanqing pouring tea for them, which was the love from their ancestors, and they could also get some of their ancestors' immortal aura.
After a moment of hesitation, I actually didn't want to miss it.
Taoist Mu was very conflicted, but finally he saw that the old ancestor did not show any abnormality in his expression, and he still looked calm and indifferent. He looked at them with a very kind gaze, as if he was looking at his favorite juniors.
This made Master Mu relax a little.
He handed the tea to the brothers present one by one, then held the tea in both hands, somewhat reluctant to drink it.
This is the tea poured by our ancestors.
There is only one of this kind, and once you drink it, it will be gone.
The remaining four Taoist priests had the same idea as him. They held the tea in their hands and were reluctant to take a sip. The warmth from their palms made their hearts warm.
At this time, these Taoist priests looked at Taoist Priest Mu again, wanting him to speak first.
Taoist Mu also knew what they meant. He held a cup of tea to give himself courage and said, "I wonder if we can learn the steps of Taoist Li?"
Li Le couldn't help but rub his knees lightly with his hands under the table. The moment he heard the Bu Gang Ta Dou, he held his breath and almost thought that he had taken the wrong path and someone was looking for him.
Since Bugang Tadou is something only found in Yizhou City, he has never seen anything other than fortune-telling sold in Yizhou City. He thought that this kind of footwork must be the unique Taoist method possessed by Chongshan Temple.
He originally thought that Xiao Wu had borrowed it from a Taoist priest in Yizhou City. The moment someone asked about it, he even thought of the method Xiao Wu used to borrow it. He was getting nervous, but he didn't expect the other party to ask him this.
This is too abnormal.
Li Le just asked curiously, "Master Mu, don't you know how to do it?"
When Master Mu heard this, his scalp tightened. He straightened his back instantly, looked up at Li Le and nervously explained, "Master Li, I'm not lazy."
Taoist Mu blushed, feeling somewhat ashamed. He did not dare to look Li Le in the eye. Feeling somewhat guilty, he said weakly, "It is my poor aptitude that has not yet mastered the Steps of the Inner Court."
It's a disgrace to us in front of our ancestors.
Taoist Mu wanted to disappear here immediately, but as for this matter, if he didn't speak up, he couldn't let his senior brothers speak up and embarrass them.
That really makes their Chongshan Temple seem too weak. How could such a weak Taoist temple receive the favor of the ancestors?
Li Le didn't expect this. He saw a Taoist priest older than him say this. He felt like he was exposing someone else's shortcomings in public, which made him a little uncomfortable. He immediately said, "Master Mu, why do you feel that you are not proficient in it, but think that my..."
Everyone here understands what I haven't said.
Taoist Mu raised his head, confused. How could the old ancestor leave in person, so it was right? But after meeting the old ancestor's gentle eyes, Taoist Mu understood instantly that the old ancestor was comforting him in an alternative way. If he took it seriously, he would be really ignorant.
However, judging from the tone of the ancestor, it seems that he doesn't mind them learning.
Taoist Mu's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Taoist Li, I wonder if we can draw you, so that the younger generation can understand how to walk the Tiangang Stepping Dou."
Let these old guys learn together too.
“…”
Li Le just understood that the Taoist priests had other intentions but to make him a target of religious criticism.
What Taoist Mu said was not that he really didn't know how to do it, but that he had no way to refuse. He first praised him highly, and then said that he was not proficient in it, which made it difficult for him to refuse. However, Li Lezhi was still wondering why he came to him?
Is there something he hasn't discovered?
He looked at the facial features of several Taoist priests present, and they looked nervous. They cared a lot about his answer and invited him sincerely.
So I really want him to become a role model so that future generations can learn from him.
Li Le only calculated secretly and found that the purpose of several Taoist priests was really out of the desire to learn, which made it difficult for him to refuse.
He smiled and said, "I am not walking in the right direction. I still need some guidance from the Taoist priests."
The five Taoist priests spoke in unison, repeatedly saying that they dared not.
The matter was settled. Because it happened suddenly and was not properly prepared, Li Le thought it would take some time. Unexpectedly, after these Taoist priests knew that he agreed, they were afraid that he would run away and started to prepare very anxiously.
After a while, all the necessary things had been bought. In order not to be disturbed by others, Li Le returned to Sanqing Pavilion with a few Taoist priests.
They walked through Sanqing Pavilion again, and this time, several Taoist priests saw it with their own eyes and saw it clearly.
When they saw it with their own eyes, they realized that what they had seen before was just the surface. Even the Tiangang Steps that they usually walked were just like a child who had just learned to walk in front of the real ancestor.
It was stiff and devoid of any spirit, and they were unable to perform as smoothly as their ancestors. That indescribable beauty made them feel like they were watching a play, with every gesture full of spirit.
And when they walked, all their swaying made them look like puppets being controlled by someone. It lacked beauty and made it impossible for people to immerse themselves in it like they do now.
After the ancestor finished his set, the person who was about to draw did not paint a single stroke. The ink dripped onto the paper, smudged the white paper.
Li Le only saw it, and then saw the stunned looks of the Taoist priests. He thought that he had done too badly, leaving them speechless. Even the Taoist priest who said he wanted to draw could not put down a single stroke.
This made the tips of his ears slightly red.
He coughed twice and said very embarrassedly: "If it's hard to draw, you can draw a stick figure."
The Chinese Taoist priest came to his senses, and before he could get over the shock, he heard what the ancestor said about the matchstick man, and he was puzzled and confused.
How a matchstick turns into a human.
They cannot even fully understand the words of their ancestors. They seem to be a little too stupid.
A few people looked ashamed and reluctantly asked their ancestors for advice, wanting to know what the matchstick man meant.
Li Le immediately explained what a matchstick man was, and drew a few strokes on the paper to make his steps come alive.
A few strokes were put on the paper, and this painting method amazed several Taoist priests again.
This way, we can indeed quickly record the steps our ancestors took, and even record them exactly.
Taoist Mu looked at Li Lezhi again, and instantly understood that this was the great love that the ancestors had for them. He knew that they were unable to master the Tiangang Stepping Technique, so he taught them stroke by stroke, without losing any detail.
They must not let down such kindness.
What Taoist Mu had not expected was that the old ancestor was afraid that they had not remembered it, so he walked in front of them again.
This time, the five people did not let their ancestor down, and they all used stickmen to record their ancestor's steps one by one.
Until the last stroke was put, looking at the already drawn stick figure, and then looking at the ancestor, if he was no longer a child, Taoist Mu really wanted to rush over, hug the ancestor's thighs, and express his excitement.
But now, several Taoist priests were also very excited and laughed so hard that their eyes were invisible.
Seeing these Taoist priests happy and as if they had found a treasure, Li Lezhi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the stickman method he had thought of was really good, and his Tiangang Stepping Dou was also correct. He was recognized by these big guys, which made Li Lezhi in a very good mood.
This good mood lasted until he parted with the Taoist priests and returned to his residence. As soon as he stepped into the yard, he saw Sima of Yizhou standing in the yard, waiting for him.
Without him asking, Sima of Yizhou told him the whole story. It turned out that the assassin who tried to kill him had been caught and was imprisoned in a dungeon.
The Sima of Yizhou came this time, not only to tell others that he had been caught, but also to ask how to deal with the other party.
After catching the assassin, the procedure should be to interrogate him, and find out who is behind the scenes, what is the purpose, and who their manpower is, so as to catch the rest of the people, but he knew all these things.
Of course, there was no need to leave anyone alive, but this matter was strange. The person who had been hiding was caught just after he opened the forum. That person was not a simple person. He surrendered so quickly, which showed that there was a conspiracy.
The two groups looked at each other from a distance, both feeling a little nervous.
Li Le was unaware of their thoughts and walked forward nervously, trying to ignore the Taoist priests and Jiang Ruming's remaining words. But when he really met these Taoist priests here, Li Le was just too embarrassed not to step forward and say hello.
