Chapter 74 Someone from Taichang Temple invites Li...



Refused.

The Taoist refused.

Do you know who you rejected? That is the number one Taoist in the world, Xuan Yangzi!

"Did I hear it right?" one person said in disbelief. How dare this Taoist priest do that? This is Xuan Yangzi, how dare he refuse! If he was given this opportunity, his ancestral graves would be filled with smoke.

"You heard it right, he really refused," the other person also said blankly, looking at Li Lezhi with disbelief in his eyes, as if he saw a rare species. He couldn't understand, that was Xuan Yangzi, how could this Taoist priest refuse.

Doesn't he know the other party's strength?

It was hard to believe that this scene was actually happening right in front of them. If there was a drama troupe present, they would definitely spread the story across the country.

Some people thought bitterly in their hearts that if they were given this opportunity, if Xuan Yangzi could accept him as a disciple, he would surely rise to a high position in the future.

No matter what everyone thought in their hearts, no matter how much they didn't believe that the scene before their eyes was real, it happened anyway.

After refusing Xuan Yangzi's offer to accept him as a disciple, Li Le left Xuan Yang Palace step by step under everyone's surprised gaze.

Everyone looked at his receding back without coming to their senses. When they came to their senses, they looked at each other, and in the end they could only believe that what had just happened was real.

Li Le only refused Xuan Yangzi's offer to be his disciple.

Compared to when Li Lezhi came to the capital, his reputation was only spread among officials. This time, the name Li Lezhi was completely known in every Taoist temple.

All the Taoists couldn't believe that there was someone in this world who rejected Xuan Yangzi. That was Xuan Yangzi. How many Taoists wanted to become his disciples.

The Taiqing, Yuqing and Shangqing temples also heard about this. The heads of the three temples gathered together and read the news sent by the carrier pigeon.

Taiqing Sect Master sighed, "I didn't expect to hear about Fellow Daoist Li again just a few months later, and it was because of Xuan Yangzi."

Regarding the Qingzhou flood, none of their three perspectives could predict when the flood would occur, and they even had some doubts about the truth of the matter. But when the flood really came, they realized that it was because they had not practiced well enough that they could not predict it.

That fellow Daoist Li is a rare master.

But later, when I learned about Fellow Daoist Li again, I heard that Fellow Daoist Li had been killed.

At that time, Master Taiqing did not believe that a senior who could calculate to that extent would be killed by others, so Master Taiqing secretly calculated a fortune and learned that the other party's life was safe. Master Taiqing knew that the other party was not dead, but Master Taiqing kept this matter secret.

Zhaoguo is eyeing Li Daoyou covetously. Since he dares to secretly plot to murder Li Daoyou's life, he will naturally not spread the matter out carelessly, which will only do harm to Li Daoyou.

Later, after learning that fellow Daoist Li was going to the capital, he secretly inquired about the other party. He originally thought that the other party was a reclusive master, but he did not expect that the other party was so young that people ignored his abilities and only regarded him as a talented young man.

Look, even the old fellow Xuan Yangzi didn't see the other party's bottom line and still wanted to accept him as his disciple. He is really shameless and invincible.

The head of Taiqing Sect was slightly stunned and stroked his beard. If Xuan Yangzi knew the other party's ability and only wanted to accept Fellow Daoist Li as his disciple because he was thick-skinned, this might be possible considering the other party's shameless nature.

"What an old bastard," Master Taiqing cursed in a low voice.

The Jade and Shangqing Sect Leaders heard what the Taiqing Sect Leader said. The Jade and Shangqing Sect Leaders suspected

Confused, "Brother?

The Li Le mentioned on this paper is the only one you have ever seen?"

"..." Master Taiqing paused while stroking his beard.

Of course he hadn't seen it?

Nor can you reveal the other party's identity? ? ? ? ? ,

Then he said, "I have never seen it, but I have heard of it before."

"This Taoist priest Li's talent is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Last time, Xuan Yangzi sent me a message saying that he wanted to accept him as his disciple. Unfortunately, he already had a master, so he had to give up. Unexpectedly, this old... Xuan Yangzi did not give up."

"What!" Master Yuqing was surprised, "This person already has a master, and Xuan Yangzi still wants to take him in as a disciple."

How great must this talent be that Xuan Yangzi could actually disregard his own shame and offend another fellow Taoist.

That would have been fine, but Xuan Yangzi failed in his attempt to accept the other party as his disciple.

If I were to become his Yuqing disciple...

The head of Shangqing Sect was not curious about this matter, but he also sighed and said, "He has outstanding talent, he is not an ordinary person. Even Xuan Yangzi is attracted to him. From now on, he may not be the number one person in the Dao Sect."

These words really touched the heart of Master Yuqing.

He originally thought that the other party was his disciple, but when he heard what Master Shangqing said, his face suddenly became cloudy and looked a little worse.

In his life, he wanted to train an outstanding disciple, and he wanted his disciple to become the number one in Taoism, so that his Yuqing Temple could be compared with Xuanyang Palace.

But now, not only was there a huge mountain blocking the way in front of him, but now an unknown little Taoist priest was also praised by his junior fellow apprentice, who even said that he would be the number one in Taoism in the future. This made Master Yuqing feel a little dissatisfied.

"It's just that he has some talent, but he is far from being the number one in the Taoist sect."

The head of Shangqing Sect was not angry, because he knew that the head of Yuqing Sect was still dreaming of becoming the number one person in the sect. His senior brother was good in every way except that he had a bad temper and could not face reality.

The head of Shangqing Sect said, "Among us, there is no disciple who can catch Xuanyangzi's eye. To gain Xuanyangzi's favor, one must have good friends. Brother, why don't you send the chief disciple to the capital and use Xuanyang Palace to communicate with Taoist Li."

"After I and Ge calculated the flood for the governor last time, I have made some progress. It's a good opportunity for me to exchange ideas with Taoist Li. Besides, on the fifth day of May, the Taoist forum will be held in Xuanyang Palace. It's a good opportunity for the three of them to get familiar with the scenery of the capital. It's also good for young people to travel more and gain some experience."

These words moved Sect Leader Taiqing. He knew the ability of Fellow Daoist Li. Now that he knew that the other party was very young, it would be difficult for them to have contact with him. It would not be a bad idea to let the disciples build a good relationship with Fellow Daoist Li first. Since they are young, they can have something to talk about.

If they could learn one or two skills from Fellow Daoist Li during this exchange, it would be an opportunity for them.

The head of Taiqing Sect said, "Alright, young people should move around more. Then send the three of them. I will tell Xuan Yangzi later."

Master Yuqing frowned. During the last flood in Qingzhou, he had lost a disciple in his temple. Even now, that disciple was still acting crazy. He felt uncomfortable when Master Shangqing mentioned this matter. Then he felt even more uncomfortable when he heard that the other party wanted the chief disciple to make friends with Li Lezhi.

Just based on that little Taoist priest, they still want them to send their chief disciple to make friends with him. It would be fine if he really became Xuan Yangzi's disciple, but now he doesn't even know who he is a disciple of, so how can he be qualified?

After all, Master Yuqing was troubled by the phrase "the first person in Taoism" and did not want his disciples to make friends with Li Lezhi, but he was

According to Yu Shangqing, going to stay at Xuanyang Palace was a very good opportunity. I could practice in Xuanyang Palace. If I could get Xuanyangzi's guidance, it would be good for his disciples.

Therefore, Master Yuqing did not reject this matter. ?

After the three of them had agreed, they returned to the Taoist temple and told their chief disciples about the matter. They then asked them to leave for the capital immediately. The head of Taiqing Sect also sent a letter to Xuanyang Palace by carrier pigeon.

?Feng Chui Lin An's work "The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a National Master"??, domain name [(.)]♂?♂??

*?

Li Le just didn't know that someone was trying to stop him from coming from Qingzhou, so he couldn't become a fortune teller.

Until I can think of a better solution, I can only continue to work in the Ministry of Justice.

As soon as Li Lezhi walked into the Ministry of Justice, he saw the surprised eyes of others. Along the way, everyone he met looked at him as if he had seen a giant panda. Some even dropped the things in their hands as if they couldn't believe they saw him.

Could it be that the news that he wanted to change jobs was exposed and everyone thought he was going to leave the Ministry of Justice?

Li Lezhi: ...

If this is the case, can he still keep his job?

He hoped that Minister Zhou would not tell him that he did not need to come on duty because of this incident, otherwise he would really cry.

It was not until Li Le walked to the Bibu Division and saw the people there that he suppressed his worries and walked towards his office under the disbelieving gazes of everyone.

After he left, the heads of the Bibu Division looked at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes. Then one of them said, "Master Li is still on duty. I thought Master Li would not come and would go to the Taichang Temple."

"What do you mean by that? It sounds like you are not happy with Master Li being in the Bibu Division. Don't let the doctor hear it, or he will definitely scold you."

"That's not what I meant. I wanted to say..." The Ministry of Justice is too small, even smaller than a department. There is no way they can accommodate a powerful figure like Taoist Li. But the person in charge also knows that he cannot say this out loud. If his superior hears it, he will be in trouble.

He said: "Master Li is so powerful, but Master Xuanyangzi himself said that he would accept a disciple. Master Xuanyangzi's disciples are all very powerful. I just didn't expect that Master Li would have others. Even the little Taoist priests in Xuanyang Palace might not want to come, but now..."

They were not surprised that a figure who was more powerful than the young Taoist priest of Xuanyang Palace would actually be in their department and be their colleague.

When this was said, everyone fell silent. Their Ministry of Justice did not welcome Taoists very much. Talented Taoists were unwilling to work in the Ministry of Justice and all wanted to become priests in the Worship Hall.

They were already shocked by Taoist Priest Li's great abilities. Later, when they learned that it was arranged by Minister Zhou, they realized that Taoist Priest Li was willing to condescend to the Ministry of Justice for Minister Zhou's sake. However, they never expected that Taoist Priest Li's abilities were even greater than they had imagined.

That would have been fine, but the fact that Taoist Li could refuse Xuan Yangzi also made everyone feel incredible.

"Why would Taoist Li reject Taoist Xuan Yangzi? If he had become Taoist Xuan Yangzi's disciple, in a few years, there might not be no Taoist Li in the worship hall."

"How can we know this? Maybe Taoist Li doesn't want to go. But when Taoist Li went to Xuanyang Palace, it seemed that he wanted to go to Taichang Temple. I don't know if this is true or not. If it is true, how can we keep Taoist Li?"

"If this is true, Minister Zhou may be even more serious than us.

Be anxious. ”

“……√√[(.)]?√%?%?√?”

Just as that person said, when Minister Zhou learned that Li Le only wanted to go to Taichang Temple, he accidentally knocked over the teacup. After he knew what happened with Huang Ruo, because of what he said, Taoist Li would go to Taichang Temple sooner or later.

But he did not expect that Xuan Yangzi actually wanted to accept Taoist Li as his disciple, but was rejected by Taoist Li.

He greatly underestimated Taoist Priest Li's ability. Xuan Yangzi was the number one person in Taoism, and even Xuan Yangzi was optimistic about Taoist Priest Li. This showed that Taoist Priest Li had extraordinary abilities and might become a worshiper in the worship hall in the future.

Even thinking further, Taoist Li may succeed Tian Yanzi and become the national master again.

If it were someone else, even Xuan Yangzi might not be able to become the national teacher, but it just so happens that Master Li has the advantage of being young and having unlimited potential.

I just don’t know whether Taoist Li still wants to go to Taichang Temple or stay in the Ministry of Justice. Since Taoist Li continues to work in the Ministry of Justice, he should not go to Taichang Temple.

No, he still had to go and check to make sure that Taoist Li wasn't deceived.

Li Lezhi, who was worried by Minister Zhou that he might run away, was still worried about what he saw today. Everyone seemed surprised that he was on duty and wondered whether he could keep his iron rice bowl.

Li Le just couldn't bear it anymore, so he had his fortune told. After the fortune telling, Li Le was confused. He saved his job, but the result was still vague for the first time.

Is it because he is hesitant in his heart, or is there some other reason?

When Li Lezhi was about to read his fortune again, he saw Minister Zhou walk in. He was suddenly worried that Minister Zhou would inform him that his job was gone. Unexpectedly, Minister Zhou asked: "Master Li, do you want to go to Taichang Temple?"

"……?"

Does he want to go for this? It's because he can't go. From what Minister Zhou said, it seemed like he wanted to make arrangements for him. Li Le suspected that he had misunderstood. But if it was really arranged by Minister Zhou, Li Le asked himself in his heart whether he was willing to go to Taichang Temple. The result was uncertain.

Perhaps it was because of Xuan Yangzi's words, saying that Taichang Temple was not suitable for him to go to. This sentence left a mark in his heart and made him hesitate. A big man must have calculated what he said.

Li Le said nothing.

Minister Zhou observed his expression, but could not tell what he was thinking. He lifted his robe and sat opposite Li Lezhi and said, "Master Li, if you are willing, I think you can still stay in the Ministry of Justice. We can discuss everything about your salary."

Li Le just looked over in confusion. From what Minister Zhou said, he wanted to give him a salary increase. Minister Zhou did not fire him because he wanted to change jobs, and he even gave him a salary increase. Minister Zhou is really a good man.

Li Le was touched. He thought that the man was indeed a big shot that he had favored before. He was broad-minded. Compared with the Taichang Temple, the Ministry of Justice was more suitable for him. Everyone was familiar with him and no one would restrict him. He had freedom at work and now his salary would increase. It was indeed a rare and good job.

However, he was very satisfied with all these, but he had caused a lot of trouble by fortune-telling, and only Taibu could make those people hesitate. After hesitating, Li Le asked, "Minister Zhou, I also tend to go to the Ministry of Justice, but you also know what happened to me. The last time Huang Ruo happened, I was quite frightened. I don't want to encounter such a thing again."

When Minister Zhou heard this, he knew there was room for negotiation. He also knew why Taoist Li wanted to go to the Taichang Temple. Thinking of Huang Ruo, Minister Zhou regretted not standing completely on Li Lezhi's side. He was just Huang Jishi, so if he offended him, he offended him. Both of them were fourth-rank officials, so there was no need to worry.

But at the beginning, he was concerned about Huang Geshi's health.

share?,

So he didn't dare to offend Huang Jishi just for Li Le?

Instead, he asked Li Le to go only to Taichang Temple.

After years of hard work?

The heart is black.

Minister Zhou, who never regretted the decisions he made, regretted it to the extreme at this moment.

Why are you mentioning Taichang Temple and Taibu for no reason?

Minister Zhou said, "Master Li, rest assured. Even if I risk my life, I will not let the last incident happen again. I will find a way to clear all the troubles for you."

If he has no solution, Mr. Yang must have one.

These words touched Li Lezhi's heart. He wanted to work as a fortune teller in the Taichang Temple just because he didn't want to have any trouble. But now, Minister Zhou not only wanted to increase his salary, but also stated that he would help him solve his problems.

In terms of attitude, it was impeccable. Moreover, Li Lezhi also understood that he went to the Taichang Temple to be a fortune teller. Although the other party did not dare to take action openly because of his identity as a fortune teller, it was still possible that they wanted to take his life behind his back. When he went to the Taichang Temple, he was still alone, and it was not easy to ask Minister Zhou for help to solve any problem.

Now, although he may still encounter difficulties on the surface, it will be different with the help of Minister Zhou.

Just as Li Le was about to nod his head in agreement, Lord Zhao hurried in and said, "Sir, something bad has happened. People from the Imperial Palace are here."

Minister Zhou stood up in shock, "People from the Imperial Palace are here?"

It’s bad, they are here to rob us.

Minister Zhou looked back at Li Lezhi, but did not dare to force him. Even though he wanted Li Lezhi to agree not to go to the Taichang Temple right away, Minister Zhou would be relieved, but he also knew that if he brought it up now, it would only increase resentment and would not do any good.

Therefore, Minister Zhou invited: "Master Li, you should go and meet him together."

Li Le was still wondering why people from the Taichang Temple came when he heard Minister Zhou's invitation. After thinking about it, Li Le nodded in agreement.

The people coming from Taichang Temple can’t be caused by him, right?

Since they were several Taibu from the Taichang Temple who came specifically to look for Li Lezhi, the people from the Ministry of Justice took them to the Bibu Division.

When the man left, he looked at the fortune tellers curiously, and then looked inside the Bibu Division.

Several fortune tellers walked into the Bibusi and looked at the situation there. They frowned slightly, with displeasure hidden in their eyes, as if they had condescended to come to a place that they could not tolerate.

In fact, the layout of the Ministry of Justice and the Taichang Temple is not much different. Even the wood used to build the Ministry of Justice and the Taichang Temple is similar.

It's just that the Ministry of Justice is after all a place where prisoners are interrogated and detained, and it is filled with a murderous atmosphere, whereas the Taichang Temple is a quiet and peaceful place.

Therefore, Taoists with some aspirations would not come to the Ministry of Justice to work, but would go to the Taichang Temple to serve as fortune-tellers.

This time they came to the Ministry of Justice, they also wanted to meet who Li Le was, the person that Taoist Xuan Yangzi had asked to be accepted as his disciple.

Originally, they had heard of Li Lezhi's reputation as a Taoist priest who was somewhat accurate in his calculations. Some people also suspected that he was just a pawn pushed forward by the Ministry of Justice. Regardless of whether he was truly accurate or not, several fortune tellers did not take him seriously. He was just a Taoist priest with some skills. Who among them didn't have some skills?

If such a simple case was handed over to them, they would be able to figure it out. They would take advantage of the fact that the other parties were unwilling to take action and exploit their loopholes to become famous. If they had taken action, who would have known that there was Li Lezhi in this world.

However, they did not expect that such a Taoist priest whom they looked down upon could actually

How could they endure the fact that Xuan Yangzi valued them? Therefore, after hearing that the other party was on duty, several of them hurried over, wanting to take this opportunity to test the other party's ability.

If he really has some ability, they can nod and let him enter Taichang Temple.

However, they did not expect that their visit to see Li Lezhi would actually alarm Minister Zhou, who stared at them with a fierce look, as if they were going to rob someone.

Taibu sneered in his heart, thinking that only those bumpkins in the Ministry of Justice who had never seen the world would regard the Taoist priest as a treasure. A Taoist priest like him was just a handyman in Taibu's eyes, and there was no way he could do things for a nobleman.

After all, Minister Zhou was a fourth-rank official, much higher than theirs. Even though they were Taibu and had extraordinary status, they had to bow and be courteous when facing such a high-ranking official.

Several people said, "Greetings, Mr. Zhou."

Minister Zhou looked at the other party's arrogant appearance, and then looked at Taoist Li, who although had a cold temperament, had the indifference of a hermit. He did not look down on others because of his own abilities, but treated everyone equally, regardless of their wealth, status, or social class.

These fortune tellers are not even worthy of carrying shoes for Taoist Li. He had not expected that the fortune tellers of Taichang Temple would be of such a character. Thinking that he had pushed Taoist Li to be the fortune teller, Minister Zhou wanted to slap himself.

What's the difference between this and throwing Chinese cabbage into a pigpen and letting the pigs eat it?

Minister Zhou sighed inwardly. He usually smiled at others, but when he met these imperial fortune tellers, his smile was restrained a little. He left them alone for a while before saying, "Are you here for something important? Do you want to help my Ministry of Justice?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Taibu was speechless. They had to be in a weird situation to think of coming to the Ministry of Justice to help.

One of them, who was also the most senior one, said, "We came here this time to look for Taoist Priest Li Lezhi."

When his name was mentioned, Li Le just looked up and met the eyes of the person who was speaking. He could clearly feel the contempt in the other person's eyes. Li Le really didn't understand why these fortune tellers had such an attitude towards him, and he didn't offend them.

Also, what Senior Xuan Yangzi said was indeed right. These Taibugen are all bad. There is no need for them to enter the Taichang Temple. It is better for them to stay in the Ministry of Justice.

Before Li Lezhi could speak, Minister Zhou's face turned colder, and a dark light flashed in his eyes. He sneered and said, "Master Li is not here. If you have anything to say, you can tell me. When Master Li comes back, I will tell him."

The other party choked and looked at the person sitting next to Minister Zhou. This person was clearly wearing a Taoist robe. When he mentioned Li Lezhi just now, he also looked up at him. In addition, he was very young and worked in the Ministry of Justice.

There was no need to explain his identity, as everyone knew who the other person was. It was Li Lezhi, the man he was looking for. But Minister Zhou lied to them with his eyes open.

The Grand Astrologer asked, "Isn't this Li Lezhi?"

Minister Zhou smiled and said, "What do you want to see Taoist Li for?"

This made Taibu angry but he couldn't say it out loud, so he could only hold it in and say, "This time we want to invite Taoist Li to the Taichang Temple."

He felt displeased the first time he saw Li Lezhi, but he also knew that Minister Zhou was there, and even if he wanted to make things difficult for him in person, Minister Zhou might not give him the chance.

Once people go to Taichang Temple, they will have plenty of ways to deal with him.
