Chapter 268: What I Wanted, Not What I Wanted
Zhang Gao finally opened his heart.
Speaking of this, it is actually equivalent to Zhang Gao admitting that he is incompetent, and he even has to rely on others to help him, which is a very faceless thing for a senior master in the cultivation world, especially in front of a junior like Yang Yun.
However, since he is willing to speak out, it shows that he also trusts Yang Yun, knowing that Yang Yun will not go out to talk nonsense, and more importantly, Zhang Gao said that he wanted to find a famous teacher for his son to guide him.
After Zhang Gao said this, he got up and went to the door, opened the door, and shouted to the outside: "Jingyan, come in." ”
The sound of footsteps came, and the little Taoist priest who had been dissatisfied with Yang Yun before walked into the door, still glaring at Yang Yun with unkind eyes.
Zhang Gao sat down again, raised his hand and said, "Don't you pour tea for Yang Daochang to admit his mistake?" ”
"Master, what's wrong with the disciple?"
The little Taoist priest named Jingyan was still acting rudely.
Zhang Gao said in a deep voice: "Disrespecting your fellow Daoists is the biggest mistake, how did you teach you before becoming a father?" ”
Zhang Jingyan was stunned, he didn't expect his father to admit their father-son relationship in front of people, he used to be commensurate with master and apprentice, although he didn't understand why this father would attach so much importance to a young Taoist priest, but he could only lower his arrogant head, kneel down at the table, and hold it in front of Yang Yun with both hands after pouring tea, but he turned his head to the side, indicating that he was still unconvinced.
"What to say?"
Zhang Gao saw that Zhang Jingyan still did not admit his mistake, and reminded him coldly.
Zhang Jingyan gritted his teeth and said: "I was wrong, I hope Daoist Yang will not be surprised." ”
Yang Yun didn't go to pick up the tea cup immediately, saying that it was tea that he confessed his mistake, but Zhang Gao also said that he was looking for a master for his son, what if he took the tea and was relied on when he turned around?
Zhang Jingyan held the teacup in both hands, and didn't see Yang Yun for a long time, he couldn't help but get more and more angry, and was about to turn his head sideways to stare at Yang Yun again, when suddenly the teacup in his hand was light, and it was actually taken away by Yang Yun in the air, and the teacup flew in the air for a distance, and finally fell lightly into Yang Yun's hand.
Just this small hand made Zhang Jingyan stunned.
"There is a misunderstanding between fellow believers, so there is a mustard, which is nothing, and there is no need to mind...... I will also explain the previous things below, I did not intend to let Ling Zun come forward to fight with the Tubo National Teacher, there are many reasons for this. After Yang Yun finished speaking, he brought the teacup to his mouth, took a sip, and then put the teacup on the small table.
Zhang Jingyan's face was slightly red, probably because he felt that he had lowered his head and admitted his mistake, and his face was dull in front of Yang Yun, and he was cramped and uneasy, but he heard Zhang Gao say: "You can step down." ”
Zhang Jingyan got up at this time, lowered his head and retreated, but his eyes still roamed Yang Yun in surprise, and there was no longer the previous arrogance and rudeness.
Cultivators will unconsciously have a kind of respect for the strong, and Yang Yun's slight exposure of this hand is enough to prove that Yang Yun is qualified to sit on an equal footing with Zhang Gao and can be courteous to Zhang Gao.
……
……
After Zhang Jingyan stepped back, Zhang Gao smiled and asked, "What do Yang Daoyou think of the dog's qualifications?" ”
Yang Yun asked puzzledly: "Ling Gongzi's qualifications are naturally excellent, but Zhang Daochang himself is a senior master, and Heavenly Master Dao is a leader in the Taoist sect, why do you want to find someone else for Ling Gongzi to be Ling Gongzi's teacher?" ”
"It's hard to put into words."
Zhang Gao sighed and said.
With such a fluttering sentence, he wanted to prevaricate Yang Yun, but obviously this answer could not satisfy Yang Yun.
Yang Yun smiled and said, "I'm afraid that there is something unspeakable about Ling Gongzi, right?" ”
Zhang Gao looked up at Yang Yun and smiled slightly bitterly: "I know that I can't hide anything from Yang Daoyou, indeed, dog...... Speaking of which, she is not a man, but a daughter's family, but I only have this woman, and the family business of the Heavenly Master Dao can't be cut off in my hands, right? ”
It was Zhang Gao who admitted it personally, which surprised Yang Yun a lot.
In history, Zhang Gao is the fifteenth generation of Heavenly Master Dao, and the sixteenth generation of Heavenly Master is named Zhang Yingshao, not called Zhang Jingyan, historical records that Zhang Yingshao is Zhang Gao's son, but because the Taoist legal inheritance problem has not been determined until the Yuan Dynasty, there will be deviations in many links through the ages.
Now that Zhang Gao told him that he only had one daughter and no son, who was the sixteenth generation of Heavenly Master in history? Could it be this Zhang Jingyan?
However, Yang Yun can probably understand that even the emperors of the same dynasty cannot be in the same line for thousands of years, and even when the emperor has an heir, the inheritance of the Heavenly Master Dao will inevitably have twists and turns.
Yang Yun said: "Daochang Zhang doesn't want to pass on the position of the sect to Ling in the future...... Daughter? ”
Zhang Gao said solemnly: "Yang Daoyou, or in your opinion, this is incredible, but in fact, I have to be like this, I am now fifty years away, I am old and have a daughter, my inner son has been lost, and I have been cultivating and wandering outside all these years, and I have long been powerless about the matter of Hongchen...... Although the little girl is a daughter, she has a superb cultivation and an excellent understanding of the Dao, and she will have no problem in taking charge of the Heavenly Master Sect in the future...... Now besides her, you are the third person to know the secret. ”
Yang Yun beat a drum in his heart.
Zhang Gao has cultivated his daughter for so many years and has always raised her as a boy, so that Yang Yun was not sure that this was a woman when he saw Zhang Jingyan for the first time.
Now Zhang Gao told him that he was the third to know this secret, which was actually equivalent to entrusting his daughter to him to cultivate on his behalf.
Zhang Gao explained the doubts in Yang Yun's heart: "In addition to you and me, the other person is my uncle Li Qingguan. ”
"Oh."
Yang Yun nodded, without any special expression.
Zhang Gao said: "Since Yang Daoyou became famous in Shudi, I have been sending people to inquire about the origin of your master, and I don't know anything about the origin and cultivation path of the master, but I know that there are a few girls around you who are beyond ordinary people, and their attainments in magic are not below the little girls, and I found that their cultivation is growing day by day, and I understand that Yang Daoyou has cultivated them well...... And I, an old bone, don't know much about spells, and now if I want the little girl to practice on this road, I have to ask Yang Daoyou for guidance. ”
Yang Yun smiled bitterly: "Daochang Zhang, I'm just here to visit you, why do you have to let me take in apprentices?" ”
Zhang Gao smiled and said: "Everything in this world pays attention to a fate, you will come, it means that you have good thoughts, or you are inspired by God to come, now I just follow the will of heaven and want to entrust the little girl to you, you can rest assured, since I will send her to your name, I will know the proportion, at least before my immortal tour, she will not be in charge of the Heavenly Master Dao, even if she is in charge in the future, she will still recognize you as a teacher." ”
"Huh."
For such a request, Yang Yun could only smile bitterly.
……
……
Negotiations on sending her daughter to apprentice have reached an impasse for the time being.
Yang Yun didn't agree, but Zhang Gao didn't give up, the two seemed to have a tacit understanding, sat in front of the small table, and slowly tasted tea.
Yang Yun originally came to test the flaw, but now when it comes to serious topics, he wants to say goodbye.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door, and Li Qingguan's voice came: "Sect Master, there are officials from the DPRK and China who have come to condole." ”
Zhang Gao said: "Tell them, I will personally go down to greet them, but wait a minute, I will entrust the matter to Yang Daoyou first." ”
"Yes."
After receiving the order, Li Qingguan went downstairs to receive people from the court.
Zhang Gao looked at Yang Yun and said: "Yang Daoyou may think that accepting the little girl as an apprentice will bring a lot of inconvenience, then I will also say bluntly, I will not ask the little girl under your name, I just hope that Yang Daoyou will not forget the agreement between you and me, after my Xianyou or feathering, you can let her come back to take charge of the mountain gate." ”
Yang Yun thought to himself: "What does this mean? Hand over your daughter and don't care about it in the future? You trust me so much? Or do you think that in the future, the fact that Zhang Jingyan is a woman will sooner or later be known by the people of the Heavenly Master Dao, which may have an impact on her inheritance, so you want to find me as a backer and pave the way for her to take charge of the Heavenly Master Sect in the future? ”
Zhang Gao got up and said: "Yang Daoyou, if you have no opinion, I will personally bring the little girl to the door tomorrow to apprentice, and I will definitely come to the door as an apprentice." ”
Yang Yun said: "Let's wait until I go back and think about it, I hope Daochang Zhang will not be aggressive, since Daochang Zhang has something, then he will retire." ”
After speaking, Yang Yun got up and went out with Zhang Gao, but Zhang Gao went to the main gate to receive people from the court, while Yang Yun left from the back door of the backyard.
……
……
Yang Yun hesitated when he went back, whether he wanted to find something to do and accept another female apprentice.
Obviously, Zhang Jingyan is the kind of apprentice he is looking for, with superpowers, like a hard qigong like a diamond cloth shirt, if he is cultivated, his cultivation will grow day by day, which is also where Zhang Gao takes a fancy to him.
Yang Yun thought to himself: "Although Zhang Gao's cultivation in Taoism is very ordinary, he has a set in observing people, I rarely show my cultivation in front of people, and An Lun and Yarou are also secretly casting spells, or he found clues, and then understands that he can improve his cultivation by sending his daughter to me, it seems that Zhang Gao is also a caring person." ”
When Yang Yun returned home, the girls in the family were playing after eating, washing the dishes.
Wu Yuan came over and said: "When the master was not there, Liu Fuyin sent Peng to join the army, he didn't wait, just left this note and left." ”
As he spoke, he handed over a piece of paper, which read the words "Fu Yin has an invitation", probably because Liu Hengzheng temporarily sent someone to invite him, and also sent an official of the level of Fa Cao to participate in the military, so he didn't send an invitation, and Peng Quan probably didn't have the patience to wait, so he left a note and went back.
"This Liu Fuyin has been asking about the elixir before, and I am afraid that inviting me to go this time is also related to this matter." Yang Yun did not hide in front of Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan asked, "Does the master really know how to refine the elixir?" ”
"What do you think?" Yang Yun looked at Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan looked hesitant, frowned and thought about it before saying: "When the master was in Shudi, he personally admitted that there was a pill for refining immortal methods, and I believe that the master will also have to pass it on. ”
Wu Yuan said these words in a tentative tone.
Yang Yun smiled: "Do you think it's possible?" ”
Wu Yuan lowered his head and said, "The disciple heard something...... Speaking of the teacher...... Not a real teacher...... It's an imposter ......"
"That's right, your master is indeed an impostor, a stand-in that I found temporarily, as for the matter of refining the elixir, it is purely something that he bragged about in front of people, and it doesn't exist at all, so don't expect to learn any pill recipes for refining the elixir from me!" Yang Yun happily admitted.
