Xiaoyaoshanjun

Chapter 99 Taoist Priest
"The best is like water..."

Princess Hanjiang looked at Tian Buli's departing back and quickly gave instructions to the maid beside her.

"Hurry up and catch up with Master Tian and ask him to apologize for me. I was so busy having fun today that I forgot that he doesn't like crowds."

Lan He quickly responded, “Yes!”

After saying that, Lan He hurried out to find Tian Buli and say some good things.

Seeing that Princess Hanjiang attached so much importance to that man, the Fifth Young Master said, "Aunt, why do you have to be like this? That boy was so presumptuous in the Princess's Mansion. He will definitely get scared when he goes back and thinks about it. Then he will come to you to apologize and make amends."

When Princess Hanjiang heard these words, she couldn't help but frown. She couldn't understand why these royal descendants would have such arrogant ideas.

Qi Daozon often dealt with these people. Although he didn't get together with them very often, he understood what was going on in their minds.

"You are used to being arrogant in your own territory. Others know that you are the son of a prince, and they are afraid of the majesty of the court and naturally dare not offend you."

"Even if I offend you occasionally, I will be afraid after I calm down, and I will apologize to you just like you said."

Qi Daozon explained the reason why these people were so self-righteous.

Princess Hanjiang understood how these people could have such stupid and bizarre thoughts, and she couldn't help but sigh.

If all the royal descendants in the world think like this, then... it's hard to say what will happen in the future.

When Qi Daozon introduced the Fifth Young Master to Tian Buli, he asked Tian Buli to call him the Fifth Young Master.

Qi Daozon himself is the uncle of this fifth young master, but he is just an uncle, not an elder who can punish the younger generation.

The fifth young master asked, "Then Tian Buli dared to offend me?"

The Fifth Young Master became angrier and angrier as he spoke, "I don't think he has the guts to offend my aunt, so why should we treat him well? He is the one who is wrong. He is the one who is shameless and refuses to give face to you, my aunt, in front of everyone!"

"Shut up!" Princess Hanjiang shouted coldly.

Just two words sounded like thunder to the Fifth Young Master. Not only did his ears buzz, but his whole body also felt uncomfortable.

She rarely gets angry and rarely interacts with outsiders.

As a disciple of Yanxia Mountain, Princess Hanjiang’s strength is actually not weak.

From the perspective of a martial arts master, it is absolutely first-class.

The Fifth Young Master covered his chest with one hand to calm the uncomfortable feeling in his body.

Qi Dao Zong looked at Master Guangwen.

"Master, what do you think of this Tian Buli and his Taoism?"

Master Guangwen glanced at the two Taoists opposite. There were not only Taoists here, but also a scholar.

"The logic is right, and the view is not bad, but I think he has a lot of vulgarity in him. People like him usually don't believe what they say, and they don't have a good memory."

"Haha~" Taoist Master Fuyun smiled and said, "He can say something like "The highest good is like water" and comprehend such a truth. I think he has his own reason."

Qi Dao Zong looked at Taoist Master Fu Yun, "What do you think of him, Taoist Master?"

Taoist Master Fuyun sat cross-legged at the small table and said to the two people sitting on the main seat diagonally above him: "He is a good person. If he doesn't have a disciple, I would like to take him in as my disciple."

Qi Daozong smiled and asked, "What do you think of what the Taoist said about the highest good being like water?"

"He said it, not me." Taoist Master Fuyun smiled again, "Whether it makes sense or not, I will only say it when I discuss the Dao with others. How can I gossip about others behind their backs?"

Master Guangwen looked at the two Taoists opposite him indifferently at this time.

"People in the Taoist sect are like this. They are never willing to teach the great Dao lightly. Even if they say a few words of truth, it's like repaying a favor."

Taoist Fufeng smiled and said, "If not, how could there be a place for the master here?"

Master Guangwen did not get angry with him, and directly argued: "If you hadn't kept those skills hidden as treasures and refused to show them to others, my Buddha would not have prospered day by day. Now there are more temples than Taoist temples in this city!"

"Hahaha!" The two Taoists laughed.

Taoist Master Fuyun smiled and said, "So what if everyone in the world practices Buddhism? There are nobles all over the city, what can they gain from practicing Buddhism?" Taoist Master Fufeng said, "Monks can just cry at graves and beg for food, but if you have the ability to make clouds and rain, we can build a few more temples for you in the city! Hahaha!"

"Amitabha." Master Guangwen calmly passed over the matter and did not argue with these Taoists about praying for rain.

After Taoist Fufeng smiled, he felt lonely.

"Alas! The weather has been good for the past few decades, and ordinary people have become accustomed to getting whatever they want. My sect is peaceful and non-contentious, and we do not save ordinary people, so naturally we cannot compare with the old monk opposite us."

The old monk remained silent, and the young monk looked indignant but did not dare to speak.

After hearing this, the Fifth Young Master said, "Since you know the Daoist arts, why don't you teach me? I will give you some gold and silver treasures, and let you enjoy wealth and glory!"

The two Taoists almost laughed out loud.

Taoist Master Fufeng smiled and said, "When the Fifth Young Master was in Wuzhou, was there no master to teach him?"

The Fifth Young Master said quickly, "There are quite a few monks and Taoists, but they only know some useless spells."

Taoist Master Fufeng smiled and said, "Then you will be disappointed. We are just ordinary Taoist priests in an ordinary Taoist temple. We don't have the ability to call the wind and rain like the Taoist priests in Yanxia Mountain, nor do we have the ability to talk about literature and Taoism like the Taoist friend just now."

Taoist Master Fuyun gently pointed at Master Guangwen and said, "When it comes to finding an eminent monk, he is far away in the sky, but he is right in front of us. Although Master Guangwen cannot pray for rain, his Buddhist teachings are profound. We two brothers are ashamed of ourselves."

The two Taoists were naturally not as knowledgeable as the monk in Buddhism.

The Fifth Young Master looked at the old monk beside him and quickly started chatting with him.

Princess Hanjiang didn't want to hold any banquet. Seeing that the two Taoists and the monk had no intention of showing off their skills, she ended the banquet and sent the guests away from the palace.

After everyone left, Princess Hanjiang wanted to get angry at the clan members, but in the end she sighed and said, "I shouldn't have invited a few people here today."

Qi Daozon also thought it was not right, but at that time he thought it was a rare opportunity to gather the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism together, so he thought of gathering them together to discuss Taoism and listen to each other's opinions.

But the reality is not good.

Qi Daozong sat down and said, "The Taoist sect has always been unwilling to teach Taoism to the royal family. Even if they follow orders to make rain to prevent disasters, they always deal with the royal family in a perfunctory manner."

"Even if there are people who seek refuge occasionally, they are all crooked and evil, and are of no use."

The Taoists would not have nothing better to do than offend members of the royal family, but they could afford to avoid them.

Even if they can't hide, they can deceive themselves into thinking that they are being deceived. Anyway, the imperial court will not hunt down these Taoists.

God is the boss and I am the second. People who practice Taoism do not have such a broad perspective and look down on these mortal pawns who are dressed in the guise of princes and nobles.

The relationship between the various immortal sects and the imperial court was also very harmonious. All states had to send various supplies to the immortal sects as a reward for casting spells to pray for rain and resolving disasters.

In theory, these immortal sects are the soldiers from various places.

The immortal sects in various places are autonomous. If they want to send troops to the mountains... they must ask the emperor for arrangements.

If ordinary soldiers dared to go up the mountain and draw their knives, others would dare to kill them all.

If they are going to destroy the Taoist sect, don't expect these Taoists with such a strong desire to survive to not resist and just wait for death.

Princess Hanjiang tried hard to make friends with real Taoists and immortals, but she basically hasn't met anyone willing to help over the years.

Not long after, Lan He came back.

"Madam." Lan He said quickly after returning, "My husband is not angry, he just doesn't like arguing with people, nor does he like this kind of banquet to make friends. He said that he will stay at the Hu family for the time being, and will return to the mountains to practice Taoism after the exam results are announced."

Princess Hanjiang nodded and said, "I will give a heads up to the palace. No more people are allowed to enter the palace. I will also practice Taoism in peace for a while."

"Yes!" Lan He agreed.

Qi Dao Zong said, "This year, the uncle will come down from the mountain to pray for rain. I will take him to see it and meet fellow disciples in the mountain."

"He is unwilling to discuss Taoism with outsiders, but he definitely has something to say to his fellow disciples."

There is definitely no problem with the scholar's matter. Qitian Mansion has its own internal quota, which is usually ranked in the middle or back.
