Ye An would not waste time talking to people with ill intentions. The more he talked to them, the more they would feel that their status was noble and that they were valued by others.
If you salute them, they will return the salute to you decently, and they will also say elegant names such as "brother" in their mouths, but in their hearts they must be greeting the elders of your family, but on the surface
You can still smile and smile.
Ye An didn't want to deal with such people, and would not pay attention to them if he could. What kind of face did he look like under the gentle mask? He had seen too many in later generations.
It is not easy to be a true gentleman, and it is even more difficult to be a true villain.
Of course he knew who those people were. They were just young talents who had no chance to be apprenticed to the old masters. But Ye An was very strange, what did these people think?
If you don't pursue an official career and insist on worshiping under the old Taoist sect, wouldn't it be worth the loss? Anyway, Ye An doesn't believe in the talismans, magic formulas, magical powers of the Maoshan Sect of the Shangqing Sect.
Xuan Chengzi was sitting in the bullock cart, and the old god said in front of him: "Did you see that? How many young talents are vying to join me, but you still don't want to! It's still too late to think clearly now!"
"Benefits, what are the benefits?"
Ye An sat up straight, as if he had returned to the negotiating table, and the expression on his face became serious. He did not believe that those young talents would give up their official career. That path is more important than life to people in this era.
.
The old man was speechless by Ye An's question. His face turned red as if a goose had been strangled by the neck, and a grunting sound similar to the roar of a beast came from his throat.
"Do you have to say it so bluntly?!"
Ye An nodded. There was nothing else in his eyes, not even emotion. He was like a clay sculpture or a wooden man.
"These people will not do anything that is not beneficial, and their families will not let them do whatever they want. I guess they must have done so under the instruction of the elders of the family, or directly requested it."
well!
The old Taoist sighed: "Master Tao sometimes really suspects that you are not human... You can know such secret things, but you know nothing about ordinary things in the world. In fact, even if they become my disciples, it will not affect their career, and so does Lu Duan
I, a Taoist monk, am also the husband of the Song Dynasty, right?"
Ye An rolled his eyes: "Can your descendants be the same?"
The old Taoist drooped his eyelids this time: "Do you know that even if you inherit my mantle, you don't need to enter the Taoist sect? The disciples of the old Taoist may not be the next Mr. Guanmiao or the successor to the sect.
The Shangqing Sect is not an orthodox sect and has no inheritance from the Heavenly Master, and besides, you are not the son of a Taoist master."
Ye An nodded. It's no wonder. Any young man who can worship under the old Taoist disciples will have a great reputation. This will also be a strong asset for future officials. When people see their background, they will often
Ask "Where did you learn from me?"
Young talents often answer the great Confucian scholar Zhong so and so, Zhou so and so, while those who worship under the old Taoist disciples can make people awe by just saying "Guan Miao", and at the same time, their kind words can build a house.
The disciples of the "Master of De Dao" must be superior to others. After all, in the Song Dynasty, no one was allowed to become a teacher. All students were disciples of the emperor. Zhao Kuangyin's skill was quite beautiful. The imperial examination became the most popular way for the Tian family to bribe civil servants.
Sharp weapons.
"So I must worship you as my teacher?"
Ye An still maintains the same look as before, but his expression is more solemn. He believes that the old Taoist understands what he means. Once he really wants to become a disciple, it depends on whether Xuanchengzi agrees or not.
This is no longer a way to stabilize the other person when they first met, nor is it to find a "heel" for oneself, but out of a long-term consideration and plan. Regardless of ancient times or the future, becoming a disciple is a solemn and serious matter.
"This is not what the Taoist says, it depends on you. Even if we accept a disciple, our Shangqing sect must examine whether the disciple's character, character, personality are deficient, whether his mind is aboveboard, and whether he is seeking profit.
heart of…………"
“I can’t become a master like this!”
Ye An's solemn appearance collapsed in an instant, and he spread his hands helplessly: "Everything else is easy to talk about. You said so much before, didn't you just want me to get rid of my desire for profit? But now I already know the benefits, naturally
I’m here for the benefits, no thanks! No thanks!”
After saying this, Ye An put his cowhide bag on his back and prepared to get out of the car. He had no intention of returning the clothes on his body to the old man.
The old Taoist grabbed Ye An's sleeve and said, "Everything is easy to discuss!!"
Ye An shook his head: "How can it tarnish your nobility? You want someone with integrity, I have nothing to say about that, I have nothing to say about someone with a steady mind, and someone without any intention of making profit?! Where can you find it?
?
Even if a person is dedicated to cultivation, how dare you say that he does not seek immortality through the sect? He does not have the desire to find the great road? Otherwise, what else is there to cultivate? Just repair bicycles!"
The old man smiled sarcastically. Although he didn't know what a bicycle was, he knew that Ye An could see through his thoughts and his mask.
"Hey! When I talk to you, the Taoist always feels like he is talking to a monster. You look like you have just passed the age of tying your hair, right? But the Taoist thinks you are too old-fashioned, just like those old thieves. I don't know who taught you
It's yours...it doesn't matter if I accept you as my disciple, right?"
Ye An sneered and looked at the roof of the car: "Do you believe it when I say you are born with knowledge? Is there any fun in setting up an archway for fun? It's just an exchange of interests between you and me.
You accept me as your disciple so that I can gain a foothold and I can help you answer your questions. It is such a simple thing, but you have to go around and check it up and down.
You had known that those people would appear, and you had known that they would be angered. Was it to test my methods or my sincerity?"
"That is the second son of the Qian family. Mr. Kou, who was entrusted by the Qian family, took him under his wing. He hoped that the old Taoist would accept him as his disciple and teach him for three years. But the old Taoist hated Qian Xisheng's character and did not want to be involved with the Qian family. It was just Mr. Kou.
Only such a gentleman would help him talk to him regardless of past grudges."
"Qian Weiyan? The seventh son of Qian Chu, King Zhongyi of Wu Yue, and the uncle-in-law of Queen Liu's brother?"
"Who else besides him? Hey! How did you know so clearly?"
The old Taoist was shocked, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Ye An was full of differences. When he saw him for the first time, this kid could even spell wrong, but who knew that he actually knew everything about the ministers in the court.
Not to mention him, a boy who suddenly appeared in the mountains, even some people in Tokyo, as long as they did not come from a wealthy family, no one knew the reason.
The ox cart slowly stopped, and it was time to arrive at the gate of the county government office. Ye An was so shocked by the old Taoist look that he jumped out of the carriage first, but before getting off, he turned back and said with a smile: "Don't let the secrets be revealed!"
Xuan Chengzi did not become angry, but nodded in agreement: "Yes! The secret must not be leaked!"
If Ye An didn't have such a magical ability, he wouldn't treat him like this. The longer time goes by, the more secrets he feels, like a treasure house that needs to be constantly unearthed.
