Chapter 4: Old and Unscrupulous about Marriage Contracts
Zhou Ze rubbed his eyes incredibly.
How is this possible?!
Even if I was dazzled, I wouldn’t have even been able to see such a big Taoist temple just now.
Just when Zhou Ze was wondering if he had a mental problem, the two old men around him spoke.
They were blushing, their eyes flashed, and they said excitedly: "Great! Sincerity is spiritual, we finally saw Qingfeng Taoist Temple again!"
"Yes, old man, we finally didn't come in vain this time."
"That..." Zhou Ze walked over slowly: "From what you mean, isn't this Taoist temple easy to see?"
The old man patted Zhou Ze on the shoulder with his hand and said, "Young man, it's the first time I've seen this Taoist temple! But since you have seen this Taoist temple, it doesn't matter if I tell you the secret of Qingfeng Taoist temple."
"Secret?" Zhou Ze said to himself: "I have lived here for almost ten years, and I have never seen any secrets when I go in on weekdays."
It was the old man's turn to be surprised: "What did you say just now? Are you a person in this Taoist temple?"
"Yes." Zhou Ze nodded.
After hearing Zhou Ze's affirmation, the old man's eyes widened, and even the wrinkles on his face became tense.
"Hello little Taoist priest, I... my name is Lin Tingxiao. Three years ago, I was rescued by Taoist Qingfeng and obtained a set of exercises to strengthen my body. I am not much stronger than my body. I came to fulfill my wish."
"Then the secret you told..."
Lin Tingxiao suddenly realized: "I was excited to learn about my identity as a little brother. Judging from my memory, I almost forgot."
"This Qingfeng Taoist Temple is hard for ordinary people to see. The dragon has no head but no tail. If it is not a real destined person, it will not be able to see the Taoist Temple!"
Zhou Ze was a little confused: "I have lived here for nearly ten years, why don't I know?"
"And, little Taoist priest, this Taoist temple will appear in any place at will. I also came to the place where Master Qingfeng saved me before to try my luck, but I didn't expect to see it!"
"Is it possible that I live in Taoist temples on weekdays, but I actually follow Taoist temples and run around?" Zhou Ze thought.
"By the way, you Taoist Master Qingfeng have a very good relationship. I wonder if the Taoist Master can take me in." As he said that, Lin Tingxiao pointed to the gate of the Taoist temple.
Zhou Ze smiled, but did not agree immediately, but instead asked, "Do you dare to ask which Xiao the old man is?"
"Xiao with the character "cao" said Lin Tingxiao respectfully.
In his opinion, he must have met this Taoist priest by chance and returned to the Taoist temple, so that he could see the appearance of the Taoist temple again. Not to mention anything else, if you get the help of this little Taoist priest, you will definitely be able to enter the Taoist temple to fulfill your wishes.
"Tingxiao Tingxiao, the courtyard is dilapidated, so it's better to change it to a whistle beside the word "mouth." Zhou Ze nodded with a smile, then made a gesture and continued, "Come in with me."
"Lin Tingxiao! Good name!" Lin Tingxiao laughed and said, "The Taoist priests of Qingfeng Taoist Temple are indeed very ordinary!"
"This young man looks not old, but he is really good at it." The old lady beside Lin Tingxiao also looked at Zhou Ze with admiration.
"Are you two still coming in?" When the two lamented that they had met a good Taoist priest, Zhou Ze had already entered the Taoist temple and was turning his head to urge them.
Lin Tingxiao waved his hand and said, "I'd like to ask the little Taoist priest to come in and inform Taoist Master Qingfeng. If we are so rash in, it will probably make Taoist priest Qingfeng unhappy."
"No need to report." Zhou Ze stood up straight and said, "I am the current Taoist Qingfeng."
"What?!" Lin Tingxiao was shocked: "You have become Taoist Qingfeng at such a young age?! If it weren't for the old Taoist priest..."
Lin Tingxiao stopped talking. He was afraid that what he thought was true, and the old Taoist priest had passed by.
"Bao, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah," Zhou Ze quickly spat on the ground: "My master is not dead, but he did pass on the Taoist temple to me. Maybe he saw the situation in recent years and thought the Taoist temple was no longer saved."
Zhou Ze said with a wry smile, and couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the ruins around him.
It is said that it is the gate of Qingfeng Taoist Temple, but in fact there is only one left hanging tremblingly. The red painted wall of the courtyard wall has fallen off, revealing the color of mud.
Even the chickens and dogs that Zhou Ze usually raises are running around because they don’t have cages. However, even if the Taoist temple is dilapidated, these chickens and dogs are as strong as usual. They must have taken the medicinal materials they grow again...
"I dare to ask the Taoist priest... is it called Zhou Ze?" Lin Tingxiao spoke tentatively.
"yes."
"It's true, it's true!" Lin Tingxiao laughed, making Zhou Ze confused.
"Old sir, what's wrong?" Seeing that the two old men had already stepped into the Taoist temple, Zhou Ze spoke out in confusion.
Lin Tingxiao's face turned red and had not yet faded, so he grabbed Zhou Ze's arm and looked up and down: "Didn't your master tell you? This Taoist temple is a treasure!"
Zhou Ze, who was caught by Lin Tingxiao's arm, looked suspicious and looked at the desolation around the Taoist temple and couldn't help but ask: "Can this be considered a baby?!"
"You don't know, my grandson-in-law. Many big shots are coming out of this Taoist temple. Ordinary people squeeze their heads and want to see this Taoist temple. Do you think it's a treasure?"
"This is a treasure." Zhou Ze nodded in agreement as he thought of the Taoist temple that disappeared and suddenly appeared.
However, soon Zhou Ze reacted.
"No!" Zhou Ze shouted and pulled his arm back from Lin Tingxiao's hand:
"What did you call me just now?! Grandson-in-law?"
"Yes, grandson-in-law, when you came three years ago, you were still sleeping there. We didn't dare to disturb you, so we didn't see you. However, your master made the decision for you that if you took action to save our old man, you would agree to our granddaughter's engagement with you." The old lady who came with Lin Tingxiao said: "This time I saw you, no matter how good you look..."
"No, no, what's the situation?" Zhou Ze was in a daze.
Originally, he thought that the smelly old man ran away because he was too troublesome to repair the Taoist temple, but he didn't expect that he had made a marriage contract for himself!
Lin Tingxiao then said, "Your master is a good person, let alone that we two stinky old men will decide on this engagement, and our Lin family will also accept this engagement!"
"I can't recognize it."
Zhou Ze jumped back like a rabbit being stepped on his tail, protecting his chest with both hands: "What era is this? Why are you still planning a marriage?"
"You see my granddaughter saying this, I'll tell you secretly that my granddaughter looks so beautiful!" Lin Tingxiao grabbed Zhou Ze with a wicked smile and walked outside.
"Aren't you here to fulfill your wishes in the Taoist temple?" Zhou Ze was somewhat helpless by being held back by two old men.
"Isn't this bringing you home?"
Zhou Ze recalled that Lin Tingxiao said just now that he wanted to have another child in a strong body, and he immediately decided that this guy must be an indecent person!
"Then my Taoist temple is so broken, don't you say donate some money to repair it?" Zhou Ze made his final resistance.
"Didn't I hand over my granddaughter to the Taoist priest?" Lin Ting Xiao blinked at Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze was crying and tears: "Even if he was as beautiful as a fairy, I don't like being arranged marriages!"
Lin Tingxiao: "It's ten thousand times better than a fairy."
