An old man with white beard and hair walked towards the side room with vigorous steps. Although the expression on his face was calm, his steps were obviously a little hasty.
As soon as the old Taoist arrived at the door, Yang Xiao knelt down with a plop: "Unworthy disciple Yang Xiao, I have met the master."
The old Taoist priest hurriedly bent down to help him: "It's okay if you come, it's okay if you come. There is no need to perform this big ceremony."
Yang Xuan saw that this old Taoist priest didn't have any Taoist spirit or impressive aura. He looked exactly like an elder in an ordinary person's family.
Although his beard and hair are white and his face is wrinkled, his complexion is rosy and Yang Xuan can't tell how old he is.
The master and apprentice exchanged a few words, and the old Taoist priest looked at Yang Xuan again: "Who is this?"
"This is my brother, Yang Xuan."
"Young man Yang Xuan, I have met Daozhang Zhang."
The old Taoist priest looked at Yang Xuan, his eyes narrowed to a slit, and he looked up and down carefully for a long time before he said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Yang Xiao, you are so lucky to have such a good brother.
, a life of worry-free life.”
Yang Xuan was shocked. There was something in this old Taoist priest's words. Could it be that he could read fortune tellers?
Also, there seems to be nothing wrong with Taoist priests.
Everyone sat down, and after greetings, food was served.
After dinner, tea, and then the chat officially started.
"Yang Xiao, you went up the mountain this time, but something happened?"
"Master, I'm here to visit your old man. I haven't seen you for many years, and I miss you very much."
Zhang Daochang chuckled: "I don't mean what I say. I watched you grow up and I don't know you yet."
Yang Xuan took over the words: "Daozhang Zhang, my brother is not talking nonsense. He really misses you, old man. It's me who needs help."
"Oh? What can I ask for?"
When Zhang Taoist faced Yang Xiao, he looked like a stern parent, but when he faced Yang Xuan, he immediately switched to an amiable look, making the transition seamless.
Yang Xuanxin said, this old Taoist priest is really mature. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said that I had something to ask for, but he suddenly became passive.
"Daozhang Zhang, it's like this. I have some property in Yingtian Mansion and travel frequently to various places, so I wanted to open a bodyguard agency. I heard from my elder brother that he has many brothers, so I went up to the mountain to see if I could hire someone with skills and character.
A reliable helper."
While listening, Taoist Zhang nodded slowly: "Little brother, in my opinion, all the people in this old gentleman's view are people of pure character. As for their skills, they are passable. However, the world is about to be in chaos now, and I don't want my disciples to go down the mountain."
Enter the world of mortals.”
"hiss……"
Zhang Taoist priest said that the world will be in chaos, which made Yang Xuan take a breath.
"Daozhang Zhang, now that the world is peaceful, why would you talk about chaos?"
The old Taoist priest remained silent, closed his eyes, made secrets with his left hand, and tapped his thumb on the other four fingers. After a while, he said: "No matter what, it is fate after all. No one can avoid this rolling trend.
."
As he said that, the old Taoist priest looked at the senior brother on the side: "Tianbao, I'll let you go down the mountain and let the junior brothers explore the way first."
"Yes, Master."
What the old Taoist said made Yang Xuan confused, but he finally sent someone. Yang Xuan cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you, Taoist Master Zhang, for your help."
Zhang Daochang waved his hand and said: "If you don't want to thank me, please tell me first, how much salary will you pay for my great apprentice?"
Yang Xuan was stunned. This old Taoist priest must have learned how to change his face. He looked like a Taoist just now. How could he say such a philistine thing in the blink of an eye?
"Daozhang Zhang, the salary is easy to talk about. I will give this senior brother a salary of ten taels of silver, plus 10% of the shares in the escort agency to Laojun Guan. What do you think?"
Yang Xuan obviously saw the corner of the old Taoist priest's mouth twitching, but he calmed down immediately: "Is the salary of these ten taels of silver a month or a year?"
"That's naturally one month's wages."
"Little brother, you are really bold and generous, then it's settled."
After Zhang Daozhang finished speaking, he raised his palms and saluted, and then left.
Before leaving, he said: "Tianbao, come with me."
Then the senior brother also followed behind and left.
…
In Daochang Zhang's room.
"Tianbao, when you go down to the mountain, you must work hard. See more, listen more, do more, talk less, and assist Yang Xuan with your heart. Do you understand?"
"Disciple understands, but master, haven't you always opposed our involvement in the world?"
Zhang Daozhang was silent again, just looking at the sky: "The general trend is coming, but Yang Xuan is not bound by this momentum. If possible, in the future, as a teacher and Laojun, many of my disciples will go to you."
The senior brother was immediately shocked and was speechless for a long time.
Zhang Taoist priest waved his hand and said: "Go and pack up. We will go down the mountain tomorrow. By the way, take Junbao with you."
"Ah?" Senior Brother was surprised: "Take Jun Bao with you? That kid is causing trouble all day long, don't cause trouble when the time comes."
"Don't worry, then Yang Xuan can naturally control him."
Zhang Taoist priest added: "With the salary of ten taels of silver a month, I want to go there."
The elder brother was speechless.
…
Late at night, in the guest room.
"Brother, your master seems a bit... nagging."
It took Yang Xuan a long time to think of this word. If it weren't for the sake of his elder brother, he would have said that the old Taoist priest was mentally abnormal.
Yang Xiao said: "It's okay, Master has always been like this. I've even seen Master talking to himself."
Yes, it seems that this old Taoist priest is really a little abnormal.
The world will be in chaos.
What destiny.
What big trend is coming.
This old Taoist priest must be a magic stick.
For Yang Xuan, who firmly believes in atheism, this old Taoist priest is clearly pretending to be a god.
But after all, he is the master that the eldest brother respects, so Yang Xuan can't say much.
After a night of silence, Yang Xuan was woken up by the sound of morning classes early the next morning.
I went to find my eldest brother, but found that he had also gone to do morning classes.
Yang Xuan had no choice but to ask the coachmen to pack up and prepare to return.
After the morning lessons, Taoist Zhang, his eldest brother, and his senior brother all came over, followed by a little Taoist priest carrying a baggage.
It's the one that opened yesterday.
Zhang Daozhang told the two of them: "I'm going to Yingtian Mansion. I have to listen to Shopkeeper Yang's instructions and do my job well. Do you understand?"
"I understand, Master."
Then Zhang Daozhang looked at Yang Xuan again: "Shopkeeper Yang, my two disciples are entrusted to you. You don't have to worry about the big one, but shopkeeper Yang needs to worry about the little one."
Yang Xuan was confused.
Yesterday I was a little brother, today I am shopkeeper Yang.
And what’s going on with this little one?
Buy one get one free?
But when Taoist Zhang spoke, he couldn't refuse, so he looked at the little Taoist priest.
The little Taoist priest was about twelve or thirteen years old, and his childish look was still on his face. To Yang Xuan, he looked like a child, so he touched his head and said, "What's your name?"
The little Taoist priest dodged Yang Xuan's hand and said, "My name is Jun Bao."
"Then what's your last name? Where are you from?"
"Master picked it up at the foot of the mountain. I don't know where I am from. I took my master's surname of Zhang."
Yang Xuan nodded and muttered: "My surname is Zhang, my name is Junbao."
"Um?"
"Zhang Junbao?"
"Elder brother, your name is Tianbao? Is your surname Dong?"
Taoist Zhang on the side nodded and smiled: "I knew that you, little brother, are destined to be my two apprentices."
