Chapter XXIV
Ye Xiaolang and his uncle Dong Huacheng and other predecessors discussed the joint operation of Taoist temples, and emphasized the ultimate means to attract tourists, and finally turned the goal to those who were unwilling to cooperate, Ye Xiaolang's intention was to kill, and Dong Huacheng is an old Jianghu after all, in terms of dealing with people, they are all based on the convenience of others, make good friends, and do not easily make enemies, it can also be said that this is the deep-rooted idea of those righteous gentlemen, of course, this does not mean that Dong Huacheng and others are not cunning, but have good intentions.
At the same time, as Ye Xiaolang said, "If you let them go, will they let you go?", obviously, the opposition led by Daoist Qin Shou also gathered and conspired in Qin Shou's Huoyun Mountain Taoist Temple at the same time to study and deal with Ye Xiaolang and Dong Huacheng, the supporters of the alliance faction, but these opponents would never dare to act rashly, the reason is that with Dong Huacheng's martial arts skills, they are higher than their opponents.
Moreover, Dong Huacheng is also a permanent member of the General League of Religions, and has the ability to vote against a certain proposal, so these opponents feel that as long as there is still a chance to persuade Dong Huacheng not to form an alliance with the ambitious Ye Xiaolang, they will not turn against Dong Huacheng, and they will still "dump" on Dong Huacheng like ducks rushing to him!
At the same time, the Giant Ape Demon King of the Demon Realm also had a new move, that is, to send the Qin Demon Beast with a bull-headed body to spy on Ye Xiaolang's whereabouts, and led several tenth-rank guards around the Giant Ape Demon King to secretly capture Ye Xiaolang and send him to the Demon Realm, and the one hundred and eighth level judge of the Demon Realm was interrogated by the earth spirit beast with a dog-headed body.
A few days later, Ye Xiaolang came to the Qingyun Taoist Temple in Jinjiling again and met his uncle Dong Huacheng, but Ye Xiaolang came to his uncle's "temple head" this time to ask for help for a big matter.
Daoist Dong Huacheng stroked his silver hair and responded, "Apprentice, I understand your intentions, don't you just want to invite my uncle and me to go out and visit the Arctic Empire? To be honest, I am now sixty years old, and my body is still quite strong, so it is no problem to walk in the distance, but who will handle the affairs of my Taoist temple? I can't hand it over to my second apprentice, Yang Ruan!"
When Ye Xiaolang heard this, he laughed, and said vigorously, "My good uncle, I want to go with you, what I mean is to let Senior Brother Yang Ruan manage the affairs of the Qingyun Taoist Temple on your behalf, I think Senior Brother Yang's management ability will not be too bad, and he will not be better than you!"
Daoist Dong Huacheng saw Ye Xiaolang's hippie smiling face, he was not right, his small mouth was chirping, like a harvester spitting wheat grains endlessly, so he scolded loudly, "Shut up! Helplessly, he calmly explained, "Apprentice nephew, in fact, to be honest, I really want to go out for a walk, but I also said just now, I am the master of the Taoist temple, I am leaving, no one will manage it for me, to put it bluntly, I ・・・・・・ I still don't worry about your senior brother Yang Ruan, after all, my eldest disciple is seriously ill and has to be taken care of by him, difficult, difficult!"
When Daoist Dong Huacheng said this, he picked up the teacup, lowered his head and drank the tea, this drink was over, he just refused to look up! This made Ye Xiaolang very embarrassed, Ye Xiaolang thought to himself, "Uncle, uncle, you are really an old stubborn, if I am more skilled than you, I have to give you two big mouths!" Ye Xiaolang thought of this, and saw that there was no way but to resort to one last trick, that is, to speak quickly and tell the truth!
So, Ye Xiaolang stood up suddenly, knelt in front of his uncle Dong Huacheng, and said while kowtowing, "Uncle Shi is above, I kowtow to you, I ask you to sit in charge for me, go to the Arctic Empire to escort more than 3,000 cubic meters of wood to build a Taoist temple, please uncle fulfill me, please uncle fulfill me・・・・・・"
Ye Xiaolang endlessly hit his head on the ground, however, Ye Xiaolang is a person with skills, not to mention hitting his head on the ground, even if he hits the reinforced concrete, he will not be injured, but these high-end floor tiles that Dong Huacheng just spent money to lay are miserable, and they were smashed by Ye Xiaolang's head.
Dong Huacheng shouted in a low voice, "Okay, okay, if you had said earlier that I would help you escort the wood, could I not agree?"
In this way, Dong Huacheng agreed to Ye Xiaolang's request, however, Dong Huacheng still had some doubts about the matter of escorting the timber, and when he said that he had doubts, he had to talk about the Arctic Empire, and if he wanted to talk about the Arctic Empire, he had to talk about the sellers there! The Arctic Empire is a tyrannical (baozheng) empire, where the business operators and oligarchs are all controlled by evil forces, why do you go to these scoundrels to buy timber, you see, there are also timber for sale in the forest farms on the outskirts of our city, why bother to go far?"
Ye Xiaolang, who had already stood up, sat on the chair with his uncle Dong Huacheng's hands down, thought about it, and said in response, "Uncle Shi, I understand what you mean, you are also thinking about me when you say these things, but you also know that most of the local wood is poplar, and further away it is nothing more than birch trees, which cannot meet the purpose of building a wooden Taoist temple, so I think I can only go to the Arctic Empire to buy pine, which is the only cheapest option, and there is no other way." ”
Daoist Dong Huacheng stroked his silver hair, frowned, and said, "Actually, I don't say these words to oppose you going to the Arctic Empire to buy wood, I just ・・・・・・ I just can't let go of my Taoist temple, think about it, if those Qin Shou and others who are respectful to me on the surface take advantage of my absence in the Taoist temple to wash my Taoist temple with their faces masked, can my apprentices be their opponents?
Just when Daoist Leader Dong Hua was in trouble, Dong Huacheng's second apprentice Yang Ruan hurriedly ran into the living room, bowed down and hugged his fists, and reported, "Master, let me tell you a good news, my third uncle, the fifth thunder palm Cui Bao is here, he asked me to tell you・・・・・・ let you go outside to meet him, look, are you going or not?" Yang Ruan said this, secretly glanced at his master Dong Huacheng, and found that Dong Huacheng was so angry that his face was flushed.
At this moment, Dong Huacheng stood up, looked at Ye Xiaolang, and said, "Xiaolang, I don't think you have seen your third uncle Cui Bao, let's go, let's go out and meet this moody master." ”
Ye Xiaolang didn't say anything, he immediately stood up, glanced at his uncle Dong Huacheng, who was flushed and had a helpless expression, and asked, "Uncle, I have heard my master say before, I have such a third uncle named Cui Bao, saying that he does not have his own 'temple head', he is an idle cloud and wild crane, relying on going to various Taoist temples to eat and drink to survive, and also said that his self-created five thunder palms are unrivaled in this area, is that so?"
Dong Huacheng put his hands behind his back, thought for a while and responded, "How to say it, your third uncle was the same as you back then, he was also kicked out of the division by your master, he is a lone ranger in the martial arts, and he causes trouble! If you don't believe it, you can ask those people who came to congratulate me on my birthday, they have all had a feud and fought with your third uncle, and now it's good, your third uncle has finally offended people, and he can't find a restaurant, and he came to my 'temple head' to toss again, alas, he's strong, has poor character, and is difficult!"
Daoist Dong Huacheng fell into words, and took his apprentices Yang Ruan and Ye Xiaolang to the gate of the courtyard of Benguan, but as soon as the three of them arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they were stunned, only to see that the gate was empty, but there was a pair of rough-woven straw sandals on the ground, Dong Huacheng saw this, a little angry, so he asked the second apprentice Yang Ruan, Dong Huacheng asked, "Apprentice, don't you say that your third uncle asked me to come out to greet him?"
Yang Ruan became a little angry when he heard this, so he took a few steps forward and looked around, and said vigorously, "Impossible, he was obviously here just now, how could he leave without saying hello?
Yang Ruan was saying this, and suddenly a piece of watermelon skin flew in front of him, "Smack!" just smashed on his mouth, and then, out of nowhere, there was a yin and yang strange sound, this voice was so ugly, just like a chicken that was squeezed by the door of the house, harsh and disgusting, "Little rabbit, you dare to say bad things about your third uncle behind your back, I just went to the melon field to steal a watermelon, you are impatient, you can't teach it!"
Yang Ruan raised his hand to wipe the remaining sweet water from the watermelon skin on his mouth, and spit out a watermelon seed from his mouth, and then, he saw a person flying in front of him, this speed was fast and fast, like a beam of light, shooting in front of Yang Ruan, and the two feet were accurately inserted into the straw sandals. At this time, the strange man with his hair scattered, his face like a skeleton, and his eyes as big as a light bulb turned towards Dong Huacheng and hugged his fist, and said, "Second senior brother, I have given you a salute, because I haven't been with my senior brother for a long time, I miss it very much, so I came here today with a bull, and I want to stay for a while, I don't know if the senior brother welcomes it?"
What can Dong Huacheng say, others don't want to see his junior brother, can he do this? Dong Huacheng hurriedly took a big step forward, grabbed the hand of junior brother Cui Bao, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, what are you talking about, I welcome you very much, let's talk in the house!"
Dong Huacheng was about to pull Cui Bao into the house, but Cui Bao said, "Wait, where is my mount?" He turned his head again and said to Yang Ruan, "Apprentice, hurry up and find my cow, did you let some bastard take it away for me, disemboweled, eat meat, hurry, go and find it!"
Yang Ruan stared at the pair of small eyes, looked around, and found that there was no trace of the cow, so he jumped out of the courtyard gate of the Taoist temple and looked for it. But as soon as Yang Ruan left, the little old man Cui Bao patted his head and said, "Oh, I have this memory, this cow let me put the branches!" As he spoke, Cui Bao urged his true qi, raised his left palm and bent his five fingers like tiger claws, aimed at the branch of a big tree, and said "Get up!", only to see the big buffalo hanging on the branch twenty meters in front of him, dragged down by the dark brown continuous extension of the true qi support emitted by Cui Bao's palm, and fell steadily to the ground.
Just Cui Bao's hand, Ye Xiaolang was shocked, Ye Xiaolang thought to himself, the third uncle's internal strength is too abundant, he can continue to release the true qi, and he can also control the true qi to drag the buffalo, and his ability to mentally control the qi has reached an incomparable realm! It seems that I, Ye Xiaolang, have too many things to learn!
In this way, everyone came to the living room together, and Dong Huacheng introduced Ye Xiaolang to Cui Bao, and then, everyone talked about some trivial matters, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Daoist Dong Huacheng talked about going to the Arctic Empire to escort wood for Ye Xiaolang, hoping that his junior brother Cui Bao could go for him.
As soon as Cui Bao heard this, he immediately explained that he Cui Bao had been overwhelmed by his exhaustion in the past six months, and it was impossible for him to work anymore, but he could watch the pipe view for his senior brother Dong Huacheng and let his senior brother Dong Huacheng go out as a "bodyguard"!
So, Dong Huacheng compromised, Ye Xiaolang was happy, and Ye Xiaolang couldn't wait to buy back the timber as soon as possible, build a Taoist temple, and wait for the day when it opened!
