that night.
The main hall of Chongyang Palace was brightly lit and full of guests.
It was the first time that Mount Zhongnan was so lively at night, because the head teacher of Quanzhen, Ren Daofang and Ren Zhenren, who hadn't shown up for many years, suddenly appeared and set up a dinner party, inviting some guests from the mountain and down the mountain, saying that it was an important event to announce.
Among the guests present at the meeting, in addition to many Taoist temple masters in Zhongnan Mountain, there were also some monk representatives from several hermit villages, and Piru Nianxin's family was among them.
It was already 8:30 in the evening, and the head teacher Ren Daofang hadn't come yet, and even the guests at his table had disappeared.
Only the first disciple, Yue Danchen, that is, the Taoist priest with thick eyebrows, entertained guests in the hall, speaking words from time to time to appease the irritable guests.
"Headmaster!"
"The distinguished guest is here!"
Just when some people were impatiently waiting, someone outside the hall suddenly shouted a few words.
All the guests in the hall couldn't help turning their heads to look at the source of the sound.
I saw the head teacher, Ren Daofang, leading Xia Tian and the others slowly into the hall very respectfully.
This battle actually frightened a group of guests who didn't know why, and they all guessed the identities of Xia Tian and the others.
"Who are they, why is Headmaster Ren so polite to them?"
"I don't know, could it be some big shot?"
"An old man, plus a man, two women and three young men, what a big man."
"If it wasn't for a noble person, how could Headmaster Ren be so respectful?"
"It's really strange. Teacher Ren hasn't shown up for so many years, but now he's playing?"
"..."
Some of them asked Yue Danchen softly from time to time, but the Taoist priest with thick eyebrows had already been ordered not to reveal Xia Tian's identity without authorization, so he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb at this time.
Headmaster Ren arranged Xia Tian and the others in the most honored seats, and even himself only respectfully accompanied the last seat, which unavoidably made the guests a little panicky, thinking in their hearts: This Headmaster must be too polite. "Everyone must be curious, who are these people, and why the poor Taoist respects them so much?" Ren Zhangjiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to the guests with a smile: "The poor Taoist would like to introduce them to you first. A ghost who was famous all over the world
Doctor Zhang Mingtuo, this is his apprentice Xia Tian, the number one genius doctor in the world, and these two girls are Miss Ning Ruining and Miss Shi Chunshi. "After such an introduction, all the guests couldn't help showing expressions of astonishment. You must know that they are all older. Although they don't know who Xia Tian is, they have all heard of Zhang Mingtuo's famous name. I feel strange
Strange, why is the ghost doctor in Zhongnan Mountain, and even became a guest of Chongyang Palace. "They are all great benefactors of my Chongyang Palace, and they are also great benefactors of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in Zhongnan Mountain." Recalling all the past experiences in his heart, Zhangjiao Ren said with emotion: "Without them, I am afraid that the poor Taoist would have already died. Death in Huangquan, Chongyang
I am afraid that the palace will inevitably decline, and there will be no green mountains and green waters in the thousands of miles of Zhongnan Mountain. "
All the guests let Master Ren talk more and more mysterious, and they were completely confused, not knowing how to react.
Zhang Mingtuo felt that Teacher Ren was making a fuss out of a molehill, so he said flatly: "Brother Ren, let's be more casual. If you make it so serious, how can everyone eat?"
"Alright." Teacher Ren chuckled twice, raised his head and said to all the guests: "You don't have to be cautious, you can do whatever you want. This is not a formal banquet, but you haven't shown up for a long time. Please have a meal and climb another It's just familiarity."
Having said that, many people really felt at ease, fearing that the Headmaster would suddenly show up and try to settle the matter after he hadn't shown up for a long time. After all, during the period when the head teacher was in charge, they had already allocated various benefits. In fact, Master Ren did not intend to make a big move. Although he had already found out that many things were out of his control when he was dealing with some mundane affairs just now, he has always disliked power, so he didn't get angry because of it.
There is no idea of liquidation.
"Eat as soon as you eat, there is no need to talk so much nonsense." Xia Tian was too lazy to care about those twists and turns, and started eating without waiting for Teacher Ren to finish speaking.
"Lady Xia is right. That poor man doesn't want to talk too much nonsense. Let's start the dinner." Headmaster Ren originally wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xia Tian, so he didn't say anything, "Everyone can do whatever they want , just eat it."
Those guests thought it was inconceivable, when did Headmaster Ren become so easy-going, and he was too kind to that young man. There are many doubts, but unfortunately there is no one to help them answer them, so they have to finish the meal first. But if it’s just a meal, the dinner will be over soon, and within half an hour there will be a feeling that it is coming to an end, which makes those who often attend the banquet
The guests were a little uncomfortable.
"Headmaster Ren, if you have anything to say, just talk about it, there's no need to make a fuss about it." Sure enough, some people lost their composure, put down their bowls and chopsticks, and asked.
Quite a few of the others had the same thoughts, and they all responded: "Yes, even if we have done something wrong, you can criticize it."
"If you don't make it clear, you won't be able to eat well."
"..." Headmaster Ren didn't expect these guests to lose their temper so quickly, and he couldn't help laughing: "Poverty Dao really has no other meaning, it's just that I have been practicing in seclusion all these years, and I finally got out of the seclusion. I just want to treat you to a meal, that's all
Already, don't think too much about it. "
"I can't help but think about it." One of the bearded Taoist priests Ziguan stood up, "Ren Zhang, you haven't shown up for many years, but you suddenly came out, and even invited me to dinner without giving any specific reasons. , do you think we can eat it?"
"That's right, we are really uneasy about being treated like this for no reason."
Teacher Ren sighed, and said slowly: "Actually, there is no special reason, I just want to tell you something. I originally planned to talk about it after dinner, but since you have pressed me to ask, then I will talk about it first."
"Sure enough, there is still something to say." All the guests were relieved when they heard this. "Pindao's real name is Ren Hao, and his dharma name is Dao Fang. He has been a monk since he was a child and has been practicing on Mount Zhongnan." The head teacher couldn't help but stood up, glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "I have lived for seventy-two years so far. Ordinary, cultivation level is not too high, compared to no
I passed a group of seniors and juniors at that time, but Senior Brother Lu still passed on the position of head teacher to me. "
All the guests heard Headmaster Ren began to describe his life, and became more and more confused, what exactly he wanted to say. At this time, it's not easy to interrupt what Headmaster Ren said, so he had to listen quietly. "Since taking over the position of head teacher, Pindao has been anxious and uneasy, as if walking on thin ice, for fear that if he makes a mistake, he will discredit Zhongnan Mountain and Chongyang Palace." It's a big circle and I still can't say
On topic.
Xia Tian became a little impatient, and urged: "Old Taoist Ren, just say what you want to say, and stop talking nonsense. I want to rest early with the little long-legged girl."
Ning Ruirui slapped Xia Tian in shame and anger, and cursed in a low voice: "Don't say such things in public, you are shameless and I want more."
"What's the matter, it's the truth." Xia Tian looked disapproving.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you!" Ning Ruirui glared at Xia Tian, and warned in a low voice: "In short, don't talk about it in the future." "Jia Xia, don't worry, it will be over soon." Ren Zhangjiao really respects Xia Tian , not willing to disobey him at all, smiled and comforted him, and then said: "Back then, both the master and the senior brother said when passing on the position that the position of head teacher of Chongyang Palace is very important. With thousands of miles of Zhongnan Mountain, and also benefiting the world's casual cultivators, he pays more attention to virtue rather than talent. If there is no virtue, even if the sky favors his talent, the position of head teacher of Chongyang Palace must not be passed on.
On the contrary, if you meet a person with great virtue, even if he is not from Chongyang Palace, you can still pass the throne. "
These words finally came to the point, not only the guests felt the clues, but also the palms of the Taoist priest with thick eyebrows were sweating, he had clearly expected what Master Ren wanted to say, and his body trembled faintly. "Today, Pindao met someone who is truly virtuous, and that is Xia Xia's genius doctor." Ren Zhangjiao pointed to Xia Tian with a face of sincerity, "He has nothing to do with Zhong Nanshan, but he saved He did not hesitate to risk his life for the life of the poor
Danger has restored the thousands of miles of spiritual veins in Zhongnan Mountain, which is equivalent to saving your lives. Such a virtuous person, Pindao thinks that he is the best candidate for Chongyang Palace to teach, and Pindao decided to..."
"Stop it, stop it!" Xia Tian also heard what Headmaster Ren wanted to do, and said with some displeasure: "Old Taoist Ren, you deserve a beating, right? I'm not interested in the position of your poor Headmaster, who do you pass it on to?" It's all right, don't bother me."
Headmaster Ren said very solemnly: "Lady Xia, you are indeed the best candidate for the headmaster. Only under your leadership can Zhongnan Mountain regain its former glory, preserve the interests of casual cultivators in the world, and even lead... "
夏天再次打断任掌教的话,撇撇嘴道:“我对你说得这些都不感兴趣,你爱谁谁,总之别扯上我,不然我就揍你了。”“重阳宫的掌教大位, Could it be a big radish, it’s really ridiculous that you can’t give it away even if you want to give it away.” At this time, a rather shrill voice rang out from the crowd, “In my opinion, it’s better to pass it to the dog at the door and say maybe it's more
Appropriate, hahahaha. "
Everyone followed the sound and found that the speaker was a Taoist priest wearing a red robe. He looked young, but his expression was haughty, as if he didn't take anyone seriously.
"Hey, isn't that the liar Daoist Hongyang that I met during the day?" Shi Chun recognized this person at a glance, "I even pushed him, but nothing happened, it seems that it is not simple "Who are you, why are you uttering obscenities and insulting Chongyang Palace!" Daoist Nongmei was already a little angry in his heart, and he didn't want to attack Ren Zhangjiao and Xia Tian, but when he saw someone making trouble, he immediately rushed In the past, angrily said: "Apologize quickly,
Otherwise, don't blame me for expelling you from Pay! ""Why, you don't even let people talk? "The red-robed Taoist couldn't help but sneered, and said arrogantly: "My name is Hong Shenghuo, and my Taoist name is Hongyang. Back then, your ancestor Wang Chongyang didn't dare to talk to me like that. You disciples and grandchildren are very arrogant. "
