"Fellow Daoist, are you willing to be the headmaster of Xuanyang Palace?"
When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked, even Li Lezhi was surprised by the other party's words.
Xi Yang said: "Master Ma, how can he be the headmaster!"
Uncle Ma is really confused.
The head of Xuanyang Palace has always been the master. How could this Taoist be qualified to be the head of the sect? How could the other party compare to a person like the master?
Besides, how can there be such a young Taoist priest to be the headmaster? He doesn't even weigh himself to see how much he weighs. How can he be qualified to be the headmaster of Xuanyang Palace?
The opponent's ability is still unclear, but it is clear that he cannot be compared with even a finger of our master.
If the other party could become the headmaster of Xuanyang Palace, he might as well jump off the building and commit suicide instead of living.
Taoist Priest Ma was questioned by Xi Yang in public, and he snorted in annoyance, "What do you know? With your mediocre skills, how can you know the ins and outs here?"
As long as this boy becomes the headmaster of Xuanyang Palace, Xuanyang Palace will surely prosper. When the old guy dies, he will be the number one person in Taoism.
With the other party around, Xuanyang Palace will have a constant stream of worshippers and inheritance. In the future, even in the afterlife, they will have the face to meet their ancestors.
Taoist Master Ma could also see that Xi Yang was a bully who only bullied the weak and feared the strong. He had now taken advantage of the opponent. He was a troublemaker on a daily basis and never changed despite repeated warnings. This time he had hit a hard wall. Let's see how his master would protect him.
Xi Yang said dissatisfiedly: "Uncle Ma, I don't know what the secrets are, but the head of Xuanyang Palace is the master, and uncle can't go beyond the master." www.jiangnanxs.com Jiangnan Literature Network
"..." These words made Taoist Ma unable to refute. He could not bypass his master, but as long as his master came back and saw the Taoist priest with his own eyes, he would definitely agree with his decision.
Li Le saw that the two of them were arguing about him, and the issue of the headmaster. He interrupted them and said, "You two, I have no intention of becoming the headmaster of Xuanyang Palace. I have my own Taoist temple. Thank you for your kindness, Taoist priest."
Li Le only thanked Master Ma. He appreciated his kindness, but he really didn't have the luck to enjoy it.
The reason he came here this time was to get a guarantor who could pass the exam to enter Taichang Temple. He really had no interest in being the headmaster of Xuanyang Palace. Moreover, according to Xi Yang, the headmaster of Xuanyang Palace was still alive. No matter what purpose Master Ma had, Li Le would not agree to it. How could he seize the position of his predecessor?
In addition, the Miaodao Temple in Da'an County cannot be abandoned.
“My fellow Taoist, please think about it carefully. This is the position of the headmaster of Xuanyang Palace.” It was the first time that Taoist Master Ma saw someone who did not want the position of the headmaster of Xuanyang Palace. Becoming the headmaster of Xuanyang Palace means being the number one person in Taoism.
Many Taoists fought each other to the death for this position. Even his second uncle coveted the position of the head sect master. Later, when the master became the head sect master, the second uncle left Xuanyang Palace in anger and traveled outside, not returning for several years.
Li Le just shook his head and still insisted on his own idea. Being the head of Xuanyang Palace was not what he wanted.
Seeing that Li Le just refused, Xi Yang became even more angry, and said sarcastically: "You haven't even become the headmaster yet, but you think you can become the headmaster. Don't you even look at what you look like? How can you refuse?"
Li Lezhi: “…”
Taoist Priest Ma was angry and raised his hand as if to hit him, "What's wrong with your mouth, kid? Nothing you say is worth listening to. Go back to your master."
"Fifth senior brother, what do you want? It's not your turn to discipline my disciples," along with the voice came a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe. He had a long beard, a thin face, drooping eyelids, and looked difficult to get along with.
Hearing the voice, Li Le knew that the person coming was Xi Yang's master. Then he thought of himself. Xi Yang's master had come out, and there was also the matter of the headmaster. He really could not get the guarantee of Xuan Yang Palace this time.
What Li Le was worried about really happened. Xi Yang seemed to have a backer because of his master's arrival. He immediately said, "Master, Master Ma wanted to let this Taoist priest be the headmaster of Xuanyang Palace. I think Master Ma is confused. How can this person become the headmaster?"
Following Xi Yang's gaze, Master Xi Yang looked at Li Lezhi, and after looking him up and down, he said, "At such a young age, you have such an extraordinary bearing. I wonder which Taoist temple trained you and who taught you?"
Li Le thought that the other party was going to cause trouble for him because of Xi Yang's words. He was surprised when he heard the question, but he thought that he had thought too badly of the other party, so he replied: "Miaodao Temple, the master is Tianjizi."
"Tianjizi, I have never heard of it," Master Xiyang said, and then looked at Taoist Ma and asked, "Brother, you let him become the headmaster of Xuanyang Palace without even asking who his master is. It's too casual."
He snorted coldly and then said to Li Le: "I don't know what your name is, and where is Miaodao Temple? I didn't see you last year, nor did I hear of your master Tianjizi. I don't know how old your master is, and whether he has known my master Xuanyangzi."
Facing a series of questions from the other party, Li Lezhi answered them one by one: "Li Lezhi, Da'an County, Yangzhou, I have never seen him, he is forty-seven years old, I don't know him."
"Have you reported this to the Chongxuan Office?" Master Xi Yang asked again.
At this time, Li Le only vaguely realized that Master Xi Yang was not friendly to him. Compared with Xi Yang, his master was a hidden soft knife. Facing the opponent, he could only counter his moves.
Li Le just said: "Register it."
Master Xi Yang nodded, then looked at Taoist Ma and said, "Fifth Senior Brother, the other party already has a master and a Taoist temple. How can you let him change his sect and become a disciple of my Xuanyang Palace? That's not right."
“But,” Taoist Ma wanted to say a few more words. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again. If you don’t let such a good talent see Xuanyang Palace and let him stay outside, then the number one Taoist temple in the world may not be Xuanyang Palace, but may also be the other party’s Miao Taoist Temple.
This made Taoist Master Ma blush and he said, "Brother, what do you know? Take a look at what is written on this piece of paper." He handed the paper over and said, "Take a good look at what this young friend Li wrote. Why can't he enter our Xuanyang Palace?"
Master Xi Yang took the paper and glanced at it. At first he looked at it carelessly and even wanted to find fault with it. But when he actually saw what was written on the paper, his slightly narrowed eyes slowly widened. He stared at the words on the paper, frowned and looked in the direction of Li Lezhi, glanced at him, and then looked at the things on the paper.
Master Xi Yang grabbed the paper and asked seriously, "Is this what you wrote?"
"Well," Li Lezhi said lightly. Looking at the piece of paper that was passed back and forth, Li Lezhi's face was calm. In his mind, he kept thinking back to every question he had written. There should not be anything outrageous. Then why was this Taoist priest so serious?
And that Taoist Priest Ma, after reading what he wrote, wanted to make him the headmaster. It couldn't be that he was just lucky enough to write something earth-shattering. That shouldn't be possible. Could it be that he was so powerful that he shocked the other party?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Li Le was almost embarrassed by his own self-confidence. Alas, it was impossible to think about it. He didn't know what he had written to make them so serious. Could it be that he had made a lot of mistakes in his calculations?
Li Le couldn't think of anything and gave up thinking.
As for Master Xi Yang, looking at what was written on the paper, he couldn't believe it at all. He thought it was a young Taoist priest who wrote that he had calculated it and was just trying to flatter him.
Master Xi Yang already had the qualifications to become the headmaster. Thinking about how he had wanted to kick this matter out in both overt and covert ways and pretend that it never existed, he felt a surge of remorse and looked at Taoist Master Ma with condemnation in his eyes.
Why didn't you tell him such an important thing earlier? You have to wait until he has exhausted it before letting him see what the use of this is.
Master Xi Yang became angry and his expression became even worse.
He carefully put away the paper and put it into his sleeve, then looked at Li Le's indifferent eyebrows. He was too embarrassed to let him join Xuanyang Palace. He had just said that he would never let him change his allegiance.
regret.
If I could repeat that sentence.
Master Xi Yang coughed twice, then said shamelessly: "Daoyou Li, why don't you practice in Xuanyang Palace for a while."
Faced with the other party's invitation, Li Le only understood that it seemed that there was something wrong with what he calculated. What about the head sect? It was just that Taoist Ma helped him out before. But this also didn't seem right. If Taoist Ma was helping him out, then why did he show what he wrote to Master Xi Yang?
Could it be that they discovered that he had some talent and was worth cultivating?
So he hoped that Master Xi Yang would allow him to join Xuan Yang Palace because of his talent...
Thinking this way, it seems that I can figure it out.
This also makes sense. After seeing the piece of paper, the other party looked serious but was willing to let him join Xuanyang Palace to practice. He must have seen from what he wrote that he still had some talent.
In order not to waste his time, he worked overtime to learn what the teacher taught. Although it didn't help much, but with the attitude, everything fell into place.
However, Li Lezhi still refused the other party's invitation. He came here for the guarantee of Taichang Temple. Also, as Master Xi Yang said, joining Xuanyang Palace was like changing allegiance.
That would have made him feel too strange. To be honest, he didn't really want to be deeply involved with the Taoism in this world. He wanted to leave a part of what his teacher taught him in this world.
Other Taoist temples have the skills that he has inherited, but they are lacking in what his teacher taught them.
I don't ask for what the teacher taught to be carried forward, but it can be passed down. Maybe one day the teacher will travel through time and discover this surprise.
Being rejected by Li Lezhi, Master Xi Yang felt heartbroken as if his heart and liver were dug out. But he couldn't blame others. It was all because of his mouth that this good seedling was rejected. He regretted it so much.
When Master Xi Yang met the eyes of the Fifth Senior Brother, he could see the resentment in the other's eyes, and he was speechless.
On the contrary, Xi Yang had not discovered it yet. He was wondering who Li Lezhi was. He felt that he was somewhat familiar. Then he remembered that the number of Taoist priests in Xuanyang Palace was less than one-tenth of his. He must look down on our Xuanyang Palace. Why did you invite him to Xuanyang Palace to practice? I am afraid that he is not happy in his heart, thinking that Xuanyang Palace is such a small place, how dare it accommodate a big Buddha like him. "
"Shut your mouth," Master Xi Yang slapped him. His disciple was from the same lineage as him. Some people had told him that his disciple didn't speak well, but he never took it to heart in the past. But today, when he saw him, he realized that he really didn't know how to speak, and every word he said was harsh.
Hearing this made his face turn red. Taoist Priest Xi and Taoist Priest Ma looked at each other and could see the unnaturalness in each other's eyes. They didn't know about this before, but now that Xi Yang pointed it out in public, they knew about it and agreed with what was said in their hearts.
That's right. Apart from these old guys and their ancestors, uncles and aunts, the Taoists in Xuanyang Palace are indeed not even one-tenth as good as the other side. How can there be comparison? Even they may not be as specific and accurate as the other side in calculating certain things. They are really worried about the other side coming to Xuanyang Palace. Their Xuanyang Palace is small, and it is a problem whether they can let the other side stay.
Taoist Priest Xi looked at Taoist Priest Ma, signaling with his eyes that he should find a way to keep the person. Taoist Priest Ma looked back with a wooden face. Now that the situation was settled, what else could he do? Was he supposed to disregard his face and cling to the other party's thigh to prevent him from leaving?
Instead of pushing the person out, why don't you hug his thigh and shout "don't leave"? You are just too embarrassed to do that.
Both of them made eye contact with each other.
As for Li Lezhi, he felt disheartened after hearing Xi Yang spread the rumor. Just as he worried, the rumor was heard by the Taoists in Xuanyang Palace. It was such an offensive rumor. Taoist Ma's face turned red with anger, and Taoist Xi looked at him unkindly, as if he wanted to kill him with a knife.
Li Le just started to ponder the words in his mind, thinking about how to start so that he could leave this place. He could sneak away when the two of them didn't notice him, but that was too rude. Moreover, it looked too much like he did it even though it wasn't him.
Just when Li Lezhi was still thinking about how to get out, he saw a familiar old man out of the corner of his eye. That man was the old Taoist priest he met in Yangzhou. He would not mistake his appearance.
Li Le just looked at him curiously, then walked towards him and asked, "Grandpa, why are you here too?"
"Are you a Taoist priest from Xuanyang Palace?" Thinking back to when the old man strongly recommended him to come to Xuanyang Palace, now thinking about it, the old man was most likely a Taoist priest from Xuanyang Palace.
After thinking about this, Li Le felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect there would be such a coincidence in the world. He didn't know if the old man heard what Xi Yang said just now. That was definitely not what he said.
Xuan Yangzi had just returned to the capital and was strolling in the Taoist temple. He walked slowly to the Wenchang Hall and saw a lot of people standing nearby, including his two disciples who were confronting each other, as if they were arguing again. He was too lazy to care, and when he was about to continue walking forward, he saw a familiar figure walking towards him.
When the person came, Xuan Yangzi still didn't believe it. But when the person really came, he had to believe it. This was the good seedling he had chosen!
It turned out that his Xuanyang Palace still had some appeal to the Taoists in the world. Look, after several months of separation in Yangzhou, he still met the other party when he returned to the capital.
Xuan Yangzi nodded, and with a satisfied and gratified look, he looked at Li Lezhi and said, "Little friend Li, are you here to practice in Xuan Yang Palace?"
Li Lezhi: “…”
Li Le just shook his head and said, "I came here this time to get a guarantee from Xuanyang Palace so that I can go to Taichang Temple." He really had no other intentions, and he didn't want to be the head master, nor did he come here to provoke.
"Taichang Temple, there's nothing good about that place. With your talent..." Xuan Yangzi's face was complicated. Li Xiaoyou's talent was rare. If he didn't find a master to teach him, and went to Taichang Temple, a place full of power, he would be wasting a good seedling.
Xuan Yangzi said earnestly: "Your talent is rare. Taichang Temple is not suitable for you. You still need to find a master to teach you well. If you don't have a master, why don't you become my disciple?"
Based on his abilities, he should be no worse than Tianjizi. Since Tianjizi is not here, there should be no problem for him to teach his disciples on his behalf.
He really couldn't bear to see such a good seedling being wasted. He had never taught such a good seedling before, and he didn't know if he could teach a person as good as his ancestor.
Xuan Yangzi looked at Li Lezhi eagerly.
While the two were talking, Taoist Priest Xi and Taoist Priest Ma naturally saw it. Not only them, but also the people who had not yet left and were watching the show, their pupils shrank slightly, their mouths opened wide, and they looked at the scene in shock.
Xi Yang's eyes were as big as bells. He looked over in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes, but the illusion in front of him did not disappear. No, how did this Taoist know the master!
Xi Yang wanted to curse!
You should have told me earlier that you knew our master. You are just displeased with us and want to imitate the emperor in making a secret visit, right?
Do you know that this is a powerful weapon for him?
Xi Yang didn't need to think too much. As the day went on, he could feel the pain in his back. However, he still couldn't believe that this scene was real. It was all an illusion, his hallucination. He must have been under a spell.
Otherwise, how could he see this scene? It would become a shadow in his heart. Xi Yang did not give up and asked, "Master, is there something wrong with my eyes? Otherwise, how could I have hallucinations?"
This call brought Taoist Master Xi back to his senses from his shock. He lowered his head and looked at Xi Yang's head. He couldn't help but hit him on the back of his head again, and whispered, "Go back and reflect on your mistakes. Don't get into trouble on weekdays. This time, you've hit a wall. Even your master can't save you."
"So, Master, my eyes are not damaged..."
It would be better if it was bad, Xi Yang's heart was filled with tears, at least he wouldn't have to face the matter of offending his master.
Who could have thought that this little Taoist priest, so young, was a close friend of the master regardless of age difference? Look at the master's smiling face, he was smiling so happily, unlike the serious and stern face he usually had when facing them. If you didn't know, you would have thought you saw the great master.
Yuansheng watched this scene, then looked at Li Lezhi and Grandmaster, then at Master and Uncle Xi, and saw the shock on Master's face. He touched Master and said, "Master, I just heard that Grandmaster wanted to take him in as a disciple."
"What!" Taoist Priest Ma exclaimed. Seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, and his master's dissatisfied eyes, he suppressed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and asked in a low voice: "Really? Did your master really say that?"
This young man's abilities are so high that the master is tempted to accept him as a disciple. Last time, the master said he would not accept a disciple.
Could it be that he had underestimated the young man's ability? It was not what he thought, but even better than he imagined.
hiss……
In other words, the master really wants the other party to take charge of Xuanyang Palace, but it depends on whether that young friend is willing.
Even more so, all of this was done on the premise that the master knew that the other party had a Taoist temple and a master, but he still wanted to compete with other Taoists for disciples.
The more Taoist Ma thought about it, the more incredible it seemed to him, yet it made sense. If it weren't for this young man's extraordinary talent, how could he have won the master's favor? If it weren't for his extraordinary ability, how could the master smile with wrinkles on his face? Even if he was the eldest senior brother, the master wouldn't necessarily have such a good expression.
Could it be that this boy's talent is even better than that of his senior brother?
The eldest senior brother has inherited all the true teachings from his master, and he is the one who has just stepped into the worship hall. He is even the one who has the greatest hope of becoming the national master.
If this boy's talent is as he thought, he will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future. If one person ascends to heaven, the whole family will also ascend to heaven. Suddenly, Taoist Ma thought of this sentence.
This immediately made him pay extra attention to the two people's movements, wanting to know whether the young man would become the youngest junior fellow apprentice, and whether after becoming the junior fellow apprentice, the master would immediately pass the throne to him.
Or maybe this young friend still refuses... But Taoist Ma thinks this choice is impossible. Everyone knows his master Xuan Yangzi, and who doesn't want to become his disciple? His master is the number one person in Taoism today.
If you can become a disciple of a master, your future will be limitless. Even a fool would know what to choose.
Unfortunately, Master Ma was disappointed.
Li Le only heard this once more. The last time he heard it was in Yangzhou. This time, in the capital, the old man's words also made him believe that it was indeed because of his talent that the two Taoist priests wanted to keep him. However, in the eyes of this old man, his talent was not worth mentioning. The old man was kind-hearted and wanted to take him in as a disciple and teach him well.
Li Le only knew his own situation. He could only do simple calculations. The tortoise shells were profound and difficult for him to understand. But for the old man, his disciples would surely be able to master them easily. He had better not become the old man's disciple, so as not to anger him.
Given the old man's status, he dared to say such things in Xuanyang Palace and said that there was nothing good to do in Taichang Temple. These were the words of a master who had great abilities and was unwilling to be bound by Taichang Temple.
Li Le could only guess that the other party might be the headmaster of Xuanyang Palace - Xuanyangzi.
It's no wonder that the old man said that when he was in Yangzhou. The old man was willing to help him at that time. It's a pity that he is going to let the old man down.
Li Le only said: "Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I already have a master. My master is still here, and the Taoist temple is still here. How can I change my sect and become his disciple?"
"Do you know who I am?" Xuan Yangzi was surprised. He looked at Li Lezhi with bright eyes. He said, "Do you know that many people want to become my disciples?"
"I didn't know before," Li Le just shook his head and said, "What others think is not what I think, and what others wish is not what I wish."
"You are the first person to reject me," Xuan Yangzi said with a straight face, "Do you know that if you reject me, you will offend me?"
"..." Li Le just said lightly: "Senior has a deep fortune."
"Okay, okay, okay," Xuan Yangzi said three times in a row, laughing. He patted Li Lezhi's shoulder and said, "I really didn't misjudge you, young man. It's a pity that I met you a little late, otherwise I would definitely fight with your master and let him know what it means to be second only to one person."
Li Lezhi also smiled. This old man was indeed a wonderful person.
The two of them were having a great time, which made others suffer. Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.

Thanks to the little angels who irrigated the nutrient solution: 958 bottles for Yan Miao; 5 bottles for Hong Xiu Xiu; 3 bottles for Liu Ci Occasionally; 1 bottle for Tu Zi Stuck at the Bottom of the Mountain and Mo Wei;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
"Fellow Daoist, are you willing to be the headmaster of Xuanyang Palace?"
When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked, even Li Lezhi was surprised by the other party's words.
Xi Yang said: "Master Ma, how can he be the headmaster!"
Uncle Ma is really confused.

Facing a series of questions from the other party, Li Lezhi answered them one by one: "Li Lezhi, Da'an County, Yangzhou, I have never seen him, he is forty-seven years old, I don't know him."
"Have you reported this to the Chongxuan Office?" Master Xi Yang asked again.
At this time, Li Le only vaguely realized that Master Xi Yang was not friendly to him. Compared with Xi Yang, his master was a hidden soft knife. Facing the opponent, he could only counter his moves.

Master Xi Yang coughed twice, then said shamelessly: "Daoyou Li, why don't you practice in Xuanyang Palace for a while."
Faced with the other party's invitation, Li Le only understood that it seemed that there was something wrong with what he calculated. What about the head sect? It was just that Taoist Ma helped him out before. But this also didn't seem right. If Taoist Ma was helping him out, then why did he show what he wrote to Master Xi Yang?
Could it be that they discovered that he had some talent and was worth cultivating?
So he hoped that Master Xi Yang would allow him to join Xuan Yang Palace because of his talent...
Thinking this way, it seems that I can figure it out.
This also makes sense. After seeing the piece of paper, the other party looked serious but was willing to let him join Xuanyang Palace to practice. He must have seen from what he wrote that he still had some talent.
In order not to waste his time, he worked overtime to learn what the teacher taught. Although it didn't help much, but with the attitude, everything fell into place.
However, Li Lezhi still refused the other party's invitation. He came here for the guarantee of Taichang Temple. Also, as Master Xi Yang said, joining Xuanyang Palace was like changing allegiance.
That would have made him feel too strange. To be honest, he didn't really want to be deeply involved with the Taoism in this world. He wanted to leave a part of what his teacher taught him in this world.
Other Taoist temples have the skills that he has inherited, but they are lacking in what his teacher taught them.
I don't ask for what the teacher taught to be carried forward, but it can be passed down. Maybe one day the teacher will travel through time and discover this surprise.
Being rejected by Li Lezhi, Master Xi Yang felt heartbroken as if his heart and liver were dug out. But he couldn't blame others. It was all because of his mouth that this good seedling was rejected. He regretted it so much.
When Master Xi Yang met the eyes of the Fifth Senior Brother, he could see the resentment in the other's eyes, and he was speechless.
On the contrary, Xi Yang had not discovered it yet. He was wondering who Li Lezhi was. He felt that he was somewhat familiar. Then he remembered that the number of Taoist priests in Xuanyang Palace was less than one-tenth of his. He must look down on our Xuanyang Palace. Why did you invite him to Xuanyang Palace to practice? I am afraid that he is not happy in his heart, thinking that Xuanyang Palace is such a small place, how dare it accommodate a big Buddha like him. "
"Shut your mouth," Master Xi Yang slapped him. His disciple was from the same lineage as him. Some people had told him that his disciple didn't speak well, but he never took it to heart in the past. But today, when he saw him, he realized that he really didn't know how to speak, and every word he said was harsh.
Hearing this made his face turn red. Taoist Priest Xi and Taoist Priest Ma looked at each other and could see the unnaturalness in each other's eyes. They didn't know about this before, but now that Xi Yang pointed it out in public, they knew about it and agreed with what was said in their hearts.
That's right. Apart from these old guys and their ancestors, uncles and aunts, the Taoists in Xuanyang Palace are indeed not even one-tenth as good as the other side. How can there be comparison? Even they may not be as specific and accurate as the other side in calculating certain things. They are really worried about the other side coming to Xuanyang Palace. Their Xuanyang Palace is small, and it is a problem whether they can let the other side stay.
Taoist Priest Xi looked at Taoist Priest Ma, signaling with his eyes that he should find a way to keep the person. Taoist Priest Ma looked back with a wooden face. Now that the situation was settled, what else could he do? Was he supposed to disregard his face and cling to the other party's thigh to prevent him from leaving?
Instead of pushing the person out, why don't you hug his thigh and shout "don't leave"? You are just too embarrassed to do that.
Both of them made eye contact with each other.
As for Li Lezhi, he felt disheartened after hearing Xi Yang spread the rumor. Just as he worried, the rumor was heard by the Taoists in Xuanyang Palace. It was such an offensive rumor. Taoist Ma's face turned red with anger, and Taoist Xi looked at him unkindly, as if he wanted to kill him with a knife.
Li Le just started to ponder the words in his mind, thinking about how to start so that he could leave this place. He could sneak away when the two of them didn't notice him, but that was too rude. Moreover, it looked too much like he did it even though it wasn't him.
Just when Li Lezhi was still thinking about how to get out, he saw a familiar old man out of the corner of his eye. That man was the old Taoist priest he met in Yangzhou. He would not mistake his appearance.
Li Le just looked at him curiously, then walked towards him and asked, "Grandpa, why are you here too?"
"Are you a Taoist priest from Xuanyang Palace?" Thinking back to when the old man strongly recommended him to come to Xuanyang Palace, now thinking about it, the old man was most likely a Taoist priest from Xuanyang Palace.
After thinking about this, Li Le felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect there would be such a coincidence in the world. He didn't know if the old man heard what Xi Yang said just now. That was definitely not what he said.
Xuan Yangzi had just returned to the capital and was strolling in the Taoist temple. He walked slowly to the Wenchang Hall and saw a lot of people standing nearby, including his two disciples who were confronting each other, as if they were arguing again. He was too lazy to care, and when he was about to continue walking forward, he saw a familiar figure walking towards him.
When the person came, Xuan Yangzi still didn't believe it. But when the person really came, he had to believe it. This was the good seedling he had chosen!
It turned out that his Xuanyang Palace still had some appeal to the Taoists in the world. Look, after several months of separation in Yangzhou, he still met the other party when he returned to the capital.
Xuan Yangzi nodded, and with a satisfied and gratified look, he looked at Li Lezhi and said, "Little friend Li, are you here to practice in Xuan Yang Palace?"
Li Lezhi: “…”
Li Le just shook his head and said, "I came here this time to get a guarantee from Xuanyang Palace so that I can go to Taichang Temple." He really had no other intentions, and he didn't want to be the head master, nor did he come here to provoke.
"Taichang Temple, there's nothing good about that place. With your talent..." Xuan Yangzi's face was complicated. Li Xiaoyou's talent was rare. If he didn't find a master to teach him, and went to Taichang Temple, a place full of power, he would be wasting a good seedling.
Xuan Yangzi said earnestly: "Your talent is rare. Taichang Temple is not suitable for you. You still need to find a master to teach you well. If you don't have a master, why don't you become my disciple?"
Based on his abilities, he should be no worse than Tianjizi. Since Tianjizi is not here, there should be no problem for him to teach his disciples on his behalf.
He really couldn't bear to see such a good seedling being wasted. He had never taught such a good seedling before, and he didn't know if he could teach a person as good as his ancestor.
Xuan Yangzi looked at Li Lezhi eagerly.
While the two were talking, Taoist Priest Xi and Taoist Priest Ma naturally saw it. Not only them, but also the people who had not yet left and were watching the show, their pupils shrank slightly, their mouths opened wide, and they looked at the scene in shock.
Xi Yang's eyes were as big as bells. He looked over in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes, but the illusion in front of him did not disappear. No, how did this Taoist know the master!
Xi Yang wanted to curse!
You should have told me earlier that you knew our master. You are just displeased with us and want to imitate the emperor in making a secret visit, right?
Do you know that this is a powerful weapon for him?
Xi Yang didn't need to think too much. As the day went on, he could feel the pain in his back. However, he still couldn't believe that this scene was real. It was all an illusion, his hallucination. He must have been under a spell.
Otherwise, how could he see this scene? It would become a shadow in his heart. Xi Yang did not give up and asked, "Master, is there something wrong with my eyes? Otherwise, how could I have hallucinations?"
This call brought Taoist Master Xi back to his senses from his shock. He lowered his head and looked at Xi Yang's head. He couldn't help but hit him on the back of his head again, and whispered, "Go back and reflect on your mistakes. Don't get into trouble on weekdays. This time, you've hit a wall. Even your master can't save you."
"So, Master, my eyes are not damaged..."
It would be better if it was bad, Xi Yang's heart was filled with tears, at least he wouldn't have to face the matter of offending his master.
Who could have thought that this little Taoist priest, so young, was a close friend of the master regardless of age difference? Look at the master's smiling face, he was smiling so happily, unlike the serious and stern face he usually had when facing them. If you didn't know, you would have thought you saw the great master.
Yuansheng watched this scene, then looked at Li Lezhi and Grandmaster, then at Master and Uncle Xi, and saw the shock on Master's face. He touched Master and said, "Master, I just heard that Grandmaster wanted to take him in as a disciple."
"What!" Taoist Priest Ma exclaimed. Seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, and his master's dissatisfied eyes, he suppressed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and asked in a low voice: "Really? Did your master really say that?"
This young man's abilities are so high that the master is tempted to accept him as a disciple. Last time, the master said he would not accept a disciple.
Could it be that he had underestimated the young man's ability? It was not what he thought, but even better than he imagined.
hiss……
In other words, the master really wants the other party to take charge of Xuanyang Palace, but it depends on whether that young friend is willing.
Even more so, all of this was done on the premise that the master knew that the other party had a Taoist temple and a master, but he still wanted to compete with other Taoists for disciples.
The more Taoist Ma thought about it, the more incredible it seemed to him, yet it made sense. If it weren't for this young man's extraordinary talent, how could he have won the master's favor? If it weren't for his extraordinary ability, how could the master smile with wrinkles on his face? Even if he was the eldest senior brother, the master wouldn't necessarily have such a good expression.
Could it be that this boy's talent is even better than that of his senior brother?
The eldest senior brother has inherited all the true teachings from his master, and he is the one who has just stepped into the worship hall. He is even the one who has the greatest hope of becoming the national master.
If this boy's talent is as he thought, he will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future. If one person ascends to heaven, the whole family will also ascend to heaven. Suddenly, Taoist Ma thought of this sentence.
This immediately made him pay extra attention to the two people's movements, wanting to know whether the young man would become the youngest junior fellow apprentice, and whether after becoming the junior fellow apprentice, the master would immediately pass the throne to him.
Or maybe this young friend still refuses... But Taoist Ma thinks this choice is impossible. Everyone knows his master Xuan Yangzi, and who doesn't want to become his disciple? His master is the number one person in Taoism today.
If you can become a disciple of a master, your future will be limitless. Even a fool would know what to choose.
Unfortunately, Master Ma was disappointed.
Li Le only heard this once more. The last time he heard it was in Yangzhou. This time, in the capital, the old man's words also made him believe that it was indeed because of his talent that the two Taoist priests wanted to keep him. However, in the eyes of this old man, his talent was not worth mentioning. The old man was kind-hearted and wanted to take him in as a disciple and teach him well.
Li Le only knew his own situation. He could only do simple calculations. The tortoise shells were profound and difficult for him to understand. But for the old man, his disciples would surely be able to master them easily. He had better not become the old man's disciple, so as not to anger him.
Given the old man's status, he dared to say such things in Xuanyang Palace and said that there was nothing good to do in Taichang Temple. These were the words of a master who had great abilities and was unwilling to be bound by Taichang Temple.
Li Le could only guess that the other party might be the headmaster of Xuanyang Palace - Xuanyangzi.
It's no wonder that the old man said that when he was in Yangzhou. The old man was willing to help him at that time. It's a pity that he is going to let the old man down.
Li Le only said: "Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I already have a master. My master is still here, and the Taoist temple is still here. How can I change my sect and become his disciple?"
"Do you know who I am?" Xuan Yangzi was surprised. He looked at Li Lezhi with bright eyes. He said, "Do you know that many people want to become my disciples?"
"I didn't know before," Li Le just shook his head and said, "What others think is not what I think, and what others wish is not what I wish."
"You are the first person to reject me," Xuan Yangzi said with a straight face, "Do you know that if you reject me, you will offend me?"
"..." Li Le just said lightly: "Senior has a deep fortune."
"Okay, okay, okay," Xuan Yangzi said three times in a row, laughing. He patted Li Lezhi's shoulder and said, "I really didn't misjudge you, young man. It's a pity that I met you a little late, otherwise I would definitely fight with your master and let him know what it means to be second only to one person."
Li Lezhi also smiled. This old man was indeed a wonderful person.
The two of them were having a great time, which made others suffer. Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.
