He left in a daze for half an hour. When many new disciples came forward to greet each other, Liu Chuxuan waved his hands slightly. The first disciples knew that the masters and uncles had something to say, so they led the disciples and Taoist priests out,

Then he personally entered the hall to serve him.

Lin Qingxuan came out of the palace and was about to return to the Sutra Pavilion when he suddenly saw Taoist Sun waving to him, so he hurried over.

He raised his hands to Taoist Sun and smiled: "Senior Brother Sun, what's wrong?"

Standing next to Taoist Sun were Taoist Mingchun, Taoist Mingcheng, Taoist Wuyang, Taoist Heqing and other Taoist Taoists who were familiar with each other and had good relations with each other.

These Taoist Taoist priests are quite young, and the youngest Taoist Master Mingcheng is two years older than Lin Qingxuan.

"Since the meeting the day before yesterday, there will be nothing to do in Chongyang Palace in the second half of the month. We just received our monthly payment. Thinking that the weather is getting colder, we bought some snacks and wine. Let's go and have a drink together.

?”

Taoist Sun grabbed Lin Qingxuan and said with a smile.

Lin Qingxuan smiled and saluted several Taoists, then nodded and said: "That's fine, since I went to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, I have seldom reunited with you senior brothers. Today is a good day, but I have nothing prepared, so I can only get together with you senior brothers."

The light is gone.”

"Brother, what kind words can you say?"

"Junior brother Lin, you have been staying at the Sutra Pavilion all day long. We all thought you had picked up Master Chongyang's martial arts secrets and were practicing secretly?"

"Ha ha……"

Everyone laughed and then went back to the kitchen.

Taoist Sun Desheng, Taoist Mingchun and several Taoist boys first moved the food to the canteen, and then returned to the kitchen. They took out a food box next to the stove, which contained some exquisite cold dishes and the elbows he had braised in advance.

Dongpo pork, braised chicken, etc.

There was no dining table in the kitchen, so everyone brought a wooden board to stand on the bench as a tabletop, and then put the hot and cold dishes on the table. Taoist Mingcheng and Taoist Wuyang brought two jars of shochu, opened the seals and filled them for everyone.

Sun Desheng was the leader among the Taoists, so he raised his wine bowl and said: "Brothers, we are all here today, so we can have some fun."

"Okay, respect to Senior Brother Sun, and respect to all fellow senior brothers."

…

Everyone picked up their wine bowls and each took a sip. This was Lin Qingxuan's second time drinking. He had drunk it once before when he went down the mountain with Taoist Sun to pick up the goods. At that time, he felt that the so-called fine wine was nothing more than that, and the taste was not as good as the beer of later generations.

However, as soon as he took his mouth this time, Lin Qingxuan felt that the wine tasted very good, with a rich aroma and a refreshing and sweet taste. He couldn't help but praise: "Good wine!"

"This wine is from Xianyang's Liquan Shao. It has the best taste and is still ten years old. But Senior Brother Sun bought it at a great expense."

"Oh, of course it's a good wine."

Although Lin Qingxuan's martial arts cultivation is already top-notch in the Quanzhen Sect, it stands to reason that he has long been no longer the same role as these Taoist Taoists. However, the deeper Lin Qingxuan's Taoist Xuan Kung cultivation is, the deeper his understanding of Taoist classics will be, and his mind will be as clear as water.

Although I can't talk about it yet, I am no longer the impetuous and overthinking person I was two years ago.

Lin Qingxuan liked the feeling of being with Sun Desheng, Mingchun, Wuyang and other Taoists very much. This natural, comfortable and close emotion made him feel like he had the warmth of home.

Everyone was eating and drinking, and talking about anecdotes about the world inside and outside the Quanzhen Sect. After a while, they drank all the jar of Liquan, and Sun Desheng opened another jar. After drinking for a while, Taoist Mingchun was lying on the table, overwhelmed with alcohol.

Up.

Taoist Heqing and Taoist Mingcheng laughed at Mingchun for a few words and then started talking about something that was a chance for them, Taoist Huo Gong.

After a moment of admiration, the two of them supported Sun Desheng and asked the Master to show mercy, so that they could go out and be the host of the temple, and their brothers could also follow suit in the future.

Lin Qingxuan was confused after hearing this, and after asking carefully, he found out that with the rapid development of Quanzhen Sect in recent years, lower courtyard Taoist temples have been opened in various provinces, and many palaces and Taoist temples in disrepair in famous mountains and rivers have also been replaced by Quanzhen Sect.

Accept it, and then send your disciples and experienced fire masters to manage the lower courtyard dojos in various places.

Therefore, although the Quanzhen Sect's Chongyang Palace recruits disciples and Taoist boys every year, the disciples with limited qualifications will be sent to various places to preside over the lower chamber after being taught martial arts and trained for a few years.

Because there are enough lower chambers accepting it, Taoist Taoists from the Fire Industry will sometimes be sent to serve as temple masters, so this is also an opportunity for Taoist priests such as Sun Desheng and Lin Qingxuan.

After hearing this, Lin Qingxuan began to think about it. Before he could speak, Taoist Wuyang shook his head and said: "Qingxuan, you don't have to think about it. We all have little qualifications. The one who has the most hope is Senior Brother Sun. His brother has served

If you are the Chongyang Patriarch and are willing to tell the master, you will definitely be released as a temple master."

Lin Qingxuan knew that everyone had drunk too much, so he did not feel that the words were offensive and harsh. Instead, he smiled and said: "Senior Brother Wuyang is exactly what he said. Senior Brother Sun, go and tell the Master, you can be considered a member of our Quanzhen Sect."

You are an old man, Master Danyang will give you face."

Everyone was cheering and trying to persuade Sun Desheng, but Sun Taoist waved his hands and said with a smile: "I am already forty-five this year, and I have stayed in Chongyang Palace for thirty years. I have a deep affection for this place, and I am reluctant to leave."

When everyone saw that Sun Desheng's attitude did not seem to be hypocritical, they stopped trying to persuade him. After half an hour, everyone was drunk, and then they helped each other and left.

Lin Qingxuan's inner strength was so strong that even if he didn't use his skills to force the two monks to drink wine, he would be fine, so he finally got up and helped Taoist Sun clean up the dishes.

After the two of them had packed up their things, Sun Desheng suddenly turned to look at Lin Qingxuan and asked with piercing eyes: "Qingxuan, do you want to go down the mountain? Are you tempted to go out and be the leader of a temple?"

Lin Qingxuan smiled slightly, remembering that he was successful in martial arts, and also had the idea of ​​​​looking for the Sword Demon Sword Tomb outside Xiangyang City, and said: "Brother, you are joking, how long have I been on the mountain? How can I be lucky enough to go out to be a temple master? But if I can

I would be satisfied if I followed any senior brother to become a deacon or Taoist priest."

Taoist Sun laughed when he heard this and said: "I know you are not willing to stay in Chongyang Palace at such a young age, so give it!"

As he spoke, Taoist Sun carefully took out a piece of letterhead from his arms and handed it to Lin Qingxuan.

Lin Qingxuan was surprised. He took out the letter from the envelope and unfolded it to see that it was Ma Yu's handwriting. When he took a closer look at the content, his expression changed. He looked at Sun Daoren and asked: "Senior brother... why did you ask for a hand for me?"

Teach real people!”

Sun Daoren chuckled and said: "What am I going to do at this age? Why don't I give you a chance? I know you have an unsheathed sword hidden in your heart, just like those scholars down the mountain who hold back the idea of ​​taking the imperial examination and becoming a high official.

, I know that you want to learn martial arts and become a real person.

But if they don’t take you in, I have no choice but to find you a job abroad. After you leave Zhongnan Mountain, what you do will depend on your ability and luck. Your brother Sun also wants to help.

I can’t help you with anything…”

Sun Desheng continued to nod as he spoke, and finally pursed his lips and patted Lin Qingxuan's shoulder, saying: "I know that the Master will definitely give me face, so I went to beg him last night, and he wrote me this

The recommendation form says that you can choose any location, but you are too young to be the temple leader, so you have to be the deacon and Taoist first. If the temple leader is transferred in the future, you will be promoted."
