Yang Ruan, the second disciple of Daoist Dong Huacheng, on the day of his master's 60th birthday, when he received Ye Xiaolang's gifts, he attacked Ye Xiaolang first, and Ye Xiaolang, who wanted to never suffer a loss, retaliated with Yang Ruan's arrogant words with sharper words.

So, the Taoist chief Dong Huacheng was immediately unhappy, he thought that his second apprentice Yang Ruan was too rude, how could he be so "bullying" the guests who came to pay their respects, so Dong Huacheng called Yang Ruan, who had finished receiving the gifts, to his side, but very vaguely, and angrily squeezed out a smile and said, "Hehe, apprentice, everyone who comes is a guest, and there must be no mistake in entertaining them well, understand?"

"・・・・・・ yes!" Yang Ruan, who was of medium stature, average-looking, and had a thin face, clenched his fists and lowered his head, and reluctantly agreed. However, Yang Ruan's heart was burned against the fire because of the ruthless "suppression" of his master Dong Huacheng, and the hatred for Ye Xiaolang could even be described as the kind of jealousy twisted into a "twist", and it was even more "rising tides" that almost drowned Yang Ruan's last ideological defense.

After all, he and Ye Xiaolang's age are imitated, and Ye Xiaolang has already begun to prepare to build a Taoist temple as the master of the temple at this age, and he Yang Ruan is still "doing chores" under the master's hands, that is to say, Yang Ruan is very unwilling, Yang Ruan thinks that his ability is above Ye Xiaolang, and he firmly believes that Qingyun Taoist Temple is the descendant branch of the authentic Jiuyang School!

Soon after, all the dignitaries left the hall with Dong Huacheng, the Taoist chief in red clothes, and entered the east room of the Taoist temple, where they sat down for a banquet. I saw that on the table of the long snake formed by more than 20 large tables, there was the same set of wine and dishes on the table between every eight people, among them, the dishes were small from game and mountain mushrooms, to Nyingchi ginseng and red meat, mountain fowl, in short, vegetarians and meat eaters can choose by themselves, it can be seen that Dong Hua, the Taoist chief, has become his 60th birthday, and he has made a huge amount of money. But then again, Daoist Dong Huacheng is planning so carefully, there is definitely other purpose.

This point can be glimpsed from the words of Dong Huacheng, the Taoist chief who was raising his wine glass and wanted to drink together. Just listen, Dong Huacheng, who was holding a wine glass with a smiling face and a ruddy face, said slowly, "Today, is my Dong Huacheng's 60th birthday, it is my blessing to be able to invite you to gather together, of course, among everyone, there are also doubts about my intention to hold a 60th birthday, in fact, holding a birthday banquet is definitely my main purpose, and secondly, I just want to bring everyone together and talk about the morality of running a traditional business, I hope everyone can speak enthusiastically, come, I will do it first!"

In this way, Daoist Dong Huacheng sat down after drinking the wine in the cup with everyone.

Immediately afterwards, the cross-eyed Taoist priest Qin Shou stood there and deliberately said "Daoist Dong, the Huoyun Mountain Taoist Temple I run has been doing good business recently, and I have earned a lot of incense money, and besides, I let the apprentices go to show people Feng Shui, exorcism and demon subjugation are also deeply popular, in short, the labor expenses in the temple this year, as well as food, drink, clothing, and temple maintenance funds, are enough, I think that as long as everyone adopts my business model, all internal economic crises can be solved." ”

At this time, Ouyang Fuxiao, the head of the Icelandic Snow Mountain Taoist Temple, stood there shaking his head and retorted self-righteously, " Otherwise, Qin Shou Daochang's business methods, do not focus on the future, you are a beggar to live a day is a day of strategy, in the long run, I dare to pack a ticket, in a few years your Taoist temple will be less and less, will go to other places, and you will also face bankruptcy, in my opinion, should be fired useless personnel in the Taoist temple, of course, if you say more civilized, it is the so-called layoffs, reduce capital, reduce investment in advertising, and use traditional leaflet marketing, is a good way to survive the lack of funds!"

The two of them debated like this, and this place was about to become a place for the two of them to "spread wild", at this time, Ye Xiaolang saw that the time was ripe, and finally stood up with a slap on the table, and said loudly, "Two seniors, please shut up! Streamline marketing, I think it's all some wine bags and rice bags of marketing, to put it mildly, the eloquence of the two is at the kindergarten level, thinking is as arrogant as the frog at the bottom of the well, I think, your business strategy is not as good as my strategy, I think your business mode, completely belongs to the conservative idea of building a city bridge, building a diaphragm, and closing the door to build a car, and it can't be on the big table!"

The head of the Huoyun Mountain Taoist Temple, cross-eyed Qin Shou, and the head of the Icelandic Snow Mountain Taoist Temple, Ouyang, were anxious when they heard this, they thought that this little rabbit cub was Yelang arrogant, fighting dissent, self-hype, and not a guy with a very bad character, therefore, the head of the Huoyun Mountain Taoist Temple was cross-eyed Qin Shou, and said questioningly, "You dare to speak wildly at a young age, I have walked more roads than you・・・・・・" Qin Shou quickly covered his mouth when he said this, he thought he had lost his words.

At the same time, Ouyang Chuixue looked at Ye Xiaolang with disdain and asked, "Nian relative, who are you?"

Ye Xiaolang found that the person who asked was serious in snobbery, so he replied with his heart, "You ask me, let me tell you, my surname is Zu, and I have a single word and a sect!"

Ouyang Chuixue smiled arrogantly, "Hehe, it turns out that you are the ancestor" Ouyang Chuixue suddenly understood, "Ahhhh When Ouyang said this, he looked at Ye Xiaolang with contemptuous eyes, obviously, he wanted to see how Ye Xiaolang, a young man who didn't know the height of the sky, made a fool of himself in front of everyone!

Of course, Ye Xiaolang had already learned this from Ouyang's eyes, so Ye Xiaolang mustered up his courage and fought back against Ouyang with a disdainful expression, and at the same time explained in an orderly manner. First, the current Taoist temples are entrenched in one side, and other Taoist temples are competing to the death because of the relationship of interests, and the people are not in contact with each other, and there will be vicious competition in the long run, such as the guests who want to travel, this side will cost 100 yuan to travel all over the panorama, but there is only 50 yuan to eat and live, which is obviously a loss of money to do business, this is the most retarded strategy, you say, in the end, who can profit?"

When Ye Xiaolang said this, he secretly glanced at the many masters present with the residual vision of his eyes, and found that more than a dozen of them nodded frequently, and more than thirty of them pouted their mouths, about to squeeze their own noses, Ye Xiaolang continued. Qin Shou Daoist means to let the apprentices go out to pick up work and earn a little money to make up for the loss of incense money in the Taoist temple due to the loss of tourists, but this leads to a negative effect, that is, your disciples may seek personal gain in the name of your Taoist temple and put the money in their own pockets!"

Ye Xiaolang paused, then looked at Ouyang who was rolling his eyes at Ye Xiaolang, who was rolling his eyes at him, the blue robe, the fat body, and the bearded Ouyang, and said bitterly, "" In particular, I am most dissatisfied with this fat Ouyang, of course you are an elder, but I don't care if you are a or a braggart, what I want to advise you is that your strategy is a typical conservative strategy, and it is the bane that leads the economy to regression, I think, everyone should unite to form a Taoist economic alliance organization, with me as the president, to deal with the diversion of tourists, the strategy of chain management, and wait for the opportunity to become a listed company, to make money with stocks, this is my initial strategy, I don't know what you think?"

As soon as Ye Xiaolang's words fell, he heard someone applauding in support, but there were only six people who applauded, namely Hou Chunji Daoist Chief of Tianshan Taoist Temple, Gegensheng Daoist Chief of Shilipo, Ma Yancheng Daoist Chief of Jingxin Taoist Temple near Nanhua Road in the city, Evil Heaven Domineering Daoist Chief of Cannibal Valley, Fei Zheng Daoist of Jiafargou Valley, and Daoist Chief Dong Huacheng of Ye Xiaolang's senior uncle, Obviously, most people have a strong opposition to Ye Xiaolang's whimsical ideas, but Ye Xiaolang thinks that as long as there is the support of his uncle Dong Huacheng, it is enough, because his uncle Dong Huacheng's Qingyun Taoist Temple can be squeezed into the top ten in this entire region, not to mention the largest, and the temple heads of these rabble who are left present are not worth mentioning at all!

And these six people applauded, then the remaining forty or so people should oppose Ye Xiaolang and attack him in groups, but--these people didn't do this, first, because they didn't want to make trouble on Dong Huacheng's 60th birthday, and second, they thought that a careerist like Ye Xiaolang, you can't quarrel with him, otherwise you are elevating him Ye Xiaolang, and even doing so has done a secret push and propaganda for Ye Xiaolang!

However, these people all have one idea, this Ye Xiaolang is definitely not a thing in the pool, if he can swing a flag in the future, call for wind and rain and spit out fog, then those of them who have opposing opinions will be comprehensively suppressed, then the only thing they can do is to make trouble for Ye Xiaolang's Taoist temple, that is, to make trouble, and even kill Ye Xiaolang, so that he can never make waves again!

And just when the masters looked at each other and thought about their hearts, Dong Huacheng's eldest disciple Yang Jian and the second disciple Yang Ruan brothers came to the East House, among them, the second disciple Yang Ruan hugged his fist at the master Dong Huacheng and said, "Master, today is your birthday, just eating and drinking is too monotonous, and the apprentices are willing to use the sword dance to cheer up the seniors!" Yang Ruan's voice fell, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the junior disciples standing outside to tear down all the row of pavilion doors in the East House, broadening the horizon for the masters.

Then, Yang Ruan urged the true qi, jumped into the courtyard with an arrow step, and began to fly up and down and dance the sword, only to see Yang Ruan's free blue sword qi, intertwined in an arc in the air, like the North Pole Aurora is very spectacular, so, some of the masters in the east room looking at the outside, also applauded frequently, of course, Ye Xiaolang, a very conceited guy, also echoed the encouragement of his palms, however, Ye Xiaolang did not underestimate Yang Ruan's swordsmanship, but thought that if Yang Ruan studied hard, he would inevitably become a generation of martial arts masters, and even cultivate into a fairy and become an immortal, but this is just a dream。

At this moment, Yang Ruan stopped in the air and "swished" a sword on the left and right, struck out two blue sword qi, and slashed the two flying crows to the ground, and then quickly returned the sword to the sheath, like fluttering snow, and gently and steadily fell to the ground, and suddenly, it attracted the applause of all the masters.

At this moment, Dong Huacheng's eldest disciple Yang Jian saw that the second junior brother was dancing with a sword, and he couldn't bear it, and he was eager to try, no, he also walked to the middle of the courtyard at this moment, and replaced his younger brother Yang Ruan, who was tired and blushing, and then said with his hands clasped into his fists. Seniors, my junior brother has finished performing, and now I will help the fun, but it is not exciting for me to dance the sword alone ・・・・・・ juniors, so I would like to invite Senior Brother Ye Xiaolang, the future master of our Jiuyang Sect's Qitian Taoist Temple, to dance the sword with me, I don't know if Senior Brother Ye dares to do so?"

"This ・・・・・・" Ye Xiaolang was a little embarrassed when he heard this, because Ye Xiaolang understood that Yang Jian's purpose was nothing more than to teach me a lesson Ye Xiaolang, but if I lost the competition with him, it would affect the reputation of the Qitian Taoist Temple, and if I won or even hurt Yang Jian, then my uncle Dong Huacheng would be unhappy, but now it seems that there is no choice, it's just a matter of planning, let's have a try, and talk about victory or defeat!

Ye Xiaolang said, stood up suddenly, suddenly smiled, and said in response, "Hehe, since Senior Brother Yang is so loving, I, Ye Xiaolang, can't shirk it." As he spoke, Ye Xiaolang's face suddenly changed, and a lightning-like speed shot into the center of the courtyard, and at this moment, Yang Jian was taken aback by Ye Xiaolang's posture, and even the Taoist leader Dong Huacheng nodded frequently with silver hair in his hand.

In this way, everyone held their breath, because everyone could see that this was the so-called sword dance in the open, and the prelude to the duel in the dark! And at this moment, the eyes of Ye Xiaolang and Yang Jian had reached the end of the tension!
