De Chenzi looked at Tang Tong with a smile, waiting for Tang Tong's answer.
Tang Tong sighed and wanted to squeeze out a few tears, but he couldn't. He couldn't help but regret why he didn't learn some acting in the first place. He only regretted not having enough knowledge when it was useful.
"Grandpa, to be honest, I only know that my master's name is Yin Ruoxu. He seemed to be a Taoist priest before. I am not very clear about his origins. He himself said that he was a Taoist priest from Yunshan Temple. I don't know whether it is true or not. He passed away some time ago. When he passed away, he told me to come to Yunshan Temple to recognize my ancestors. For his last wish, I came here specially. Grandpa, I wonder if you recognize my master?" Tang Tong wanted to squeeze out some tears to express his grief, but his master had passed away more than ten years ago in his previous life. Judging from Tang Tong's current experience, Tang Tong even suspected that his master had traveled through time like himself and was now happily hugging his left hand in a certain time and space.
Yin Ruoxu? He had never heard of this name before. Dechenzi thought hard but couldn't figure out who this Yin Ruoxu was. Yunshan Temple had been founded for over three thousand years. He had the opportunity to practice the Jade Scripture and the Ziwu Soul-Severing Palm, but he had never heard of anyone leaving Yunshan Temple to establish a new school. But then again, this young man was indeed practicing authentic Yunshan Temple martial arts. What was going on?
De Chenzi naturally didn't think Tang Tong had traveled from the future. He thought about it over and over but couldn't figure out what was going on. After stroking his beard a few times, De Chenzi smiled and said, "So, you must be a disciple of my great-grandmaster's lineage. I didn't expect that many years would pass by, and the world would change so much that his descendants would finally come back to recognize their ancestors."
Uh, is it true or not? Seeing the old man's confident expression, could it be that something like this really happened at Yunshan Temple? Tang Tong was deeply moved by what Chenzi said, and he couldn't figure out whether what Chenzi said was true. If it was true, then what he said was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse, and he was right.
An Xiao stared at his master with wide eyes, thinking to himself, when did one of his great-uncle run away? Why had he never heard his master mention it before?
An Xiao really wanted to ask his master if this was true, but he opened his mouth but didn't say anything. Instead, Tang Tong followed up on De Chenzi and said, "Yes, yes, now that you mention it, old man, I remember that I seem to have heard my master say that, but I didn't pay attention at the time."
"Really...? If that's the case, then that's really the case." De Chenzi still smiled and said, with a hint of cunning in his eyes, like an old fox. Tang Tong could hear a hint of teasing in his tone.
"Yes, yes, that's what happened." Tang Tongda nodded, trying to make his expression look honest. At this time, he also realized that De Chenzi was covering up for him. He thought that this old master was really not an ordinary person. He was so cunning that he could see that he was a piece of meat that was delivered to his door, so he could do whatever he wanted with him.
"Alas, I am old. Although my disciple An Xiao is a good person, he is a straightforward person. If Yunshan Temple wants to grow bigger, I am afraid it will be difficult in the future. Today, you can come to recognize your ancestors, which is a great joy for Yunshan Temple. I think my old eyes are not yet blurry, and I still have some ability to recognize people. I can see from your expression that you are indeed from my Yunshan Temple, so, Tang Jing, how about I be your senior brother?" Dechenzi sighed, and looked at Tang Tong with his eyes becoming clear.
"How can this be, old man, no, how can I be qualified to be your junior apprentice?" Calling the old master a brother will make him get struck by lightning. Although Tang Tong does not care about the secular gaze, he respects this kind of human ethics and filial piety.
"It doesn't matter. I am the abbot of Yunshan Temple. Since you want to join my sect, you have to listen to me. Wuliang Tianzun, seeing that your martial arts skills are so high, you have to pay more attention to Yunshan Temple in the future. Hey, senior brother, I am old and don't have the energy. An Xiao, why don't you go and pay your respects to your uncle Tang." De Chenzi waved his hand and turned to An Xiao.
"Oh, this, this is not possible. If my master is still alive, he will beat my butt to pieces." Tang Tong hurriedly helped An Xiao up and was about to salute him, thinking that if he let this old master call him uncle, God would not let him go.
"Okay, if I say okay, it means okay. Junior brother, you don't have to refuse. These disciples of Yunshan Temple will have to rely on you for your care in the future." De Chenzi looked at Tang Tong with a smile, thinking to himself, you came here yourself, if I don't know what to do, I will be unworthy of the position of the temple master. With such a great master in the future, not only will our temple develop to a higher level, but this guy seems to be a wealthy official, and our temple will definitely have a lot of money from incense donations in the future.
Tang Tong saw De Chenzi's fox-like smile, and knew in his heart that De Chenzi was plotting something. But he was his great ancestor, and it was only natural for him to show respect to him. But as for this title, hey, monster, he can't tell them that he is a disciple who traveled through time from later generations. Forget it, he will just show more respect to these ancestors in the future, and it will be fine to develop Yunshan Temple into the best temple in the world. As for this title, he will just take advantage of it.
"Since the old man said so, it's hard for me to refuse. Sanlang, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and give a glass bowl to my senior brother, and also to this Taoist An. Hehe... Senior brother, here are 1,000 taels of silver notes. It's my gift to you. Please accept it." As Tang Tong said this, he couldn't help but grinning, and took out a few silver notes and handed them to De Chenzi in a flattering manner.
Tang Tong was naturally eager to please his elders. This was filial piety, and Tang Tong would never forget his elders' kindness. When An Xiao saw Tang Tong take out a few banknotes, he quickly handed the one thousand taels of silver in his hand to De Chenzi and said, "Master, here are another one thousand taels."
When De Chenzi saw the three thousand taels of silver in his hand, no matter how he tried to cultivate his mind and cultivate his character, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. Three thousand taels of silver, this was the income of Yunshan Temple for several years. With this money, he could not only renovate the Taoist temple, but also recruit more disciples. For De Chenzi, who was determined to carry forward Yunshan Temple, this was really important.
"Junior brother, I accept your kindness. We are a family now, so I won't be polite with you. But there is one more thing you have to take on. Although you cannot become a monk as a mortal in this world, you are now a member of the Zhongchen generation of Yunshan Temple. In the future, you must bring a few disciples with you. Whether Yunshan Temple can prosper or not depends on you, so I hope you can select ten disciples from the temple to become your disciples. In addition, An Xiao will also need your guidance in the future. I am old, and fortunately, God sent me here. I am relieved about the future." De Chenzi was not polite either. He took the banknote and told Tang Tong another thing.
Let him accept a disciple? After a moment of hesitation, Tang Tong thought to himself, this is a good thing. He has never had a trusted confidant that he particularly trusts. If he accepts a ready-made disciple, won't he have a trusted confidant in the future? In this era, the concept of belonging to one's master is very strong. Generally speaking, betrayal is rare. It is naturally more reliable to use people from the same sect than to use others. Moreover, these people have already been in Yunshan Temple for a period of time and have a certain foundation in martial arts. There is no need to train them from scratch.
"Okay, okay, haha... Brother, look, this is a glass bowl, a small gift, not much respect, Master An, this is just for you." Tang Tong laughed and thought to himself that in the future life from this time and space, would he be his own ancestor in the future? Then he saw Liu Sanlang bringing two glass bowls, and he hurriedly took over and handed them to De Chenzi and An Xiao.
"Uncle Tang, you can just call me An Xiao from now on." An Xiao said, took the glass bowl, looked at it, and said in admiration: "This bowl is really beautiful, Uncle Tang, it must be very expensive, right?"
"It's nothing, not worth much money. It's the product of my own workshop. If you like it, I will give you more in the future." Tang Tong waved his hand, but he didn't know how to address An Xiao. Calling him An Xiao was actually impolite, and calling him Master An was too rude. Oh, it was a dilemma.
"Okay, junior brother, follow me into the main hall." De Chenzi took a look at the glass bowl and knew that it was worth a lot of money. He was even more certain that this junior brother who fell from the sky was a very rich man.
Several people entered the main hall, and Dechenzi summoned all the disciples of Yunshan Temple and announced Tang Tong's identity. Then he asked Tang Tong to pick ten disciples to be his own disciples. Tang Tong gave each of them fifty taels of silver as a gift, which made the other disciples of Yunshan Temple very envious, and they lamented why they were not chosen.
Haha, I finally have my own confidants. Tang Tong was very happy looking at the ten disciples under his name.
