Chapter 446: The Humble Master (Second Watch)
Duan Yi finally left.
Han Youning never quite understood the real reason for his departure. In fact, she never knew Duan Yi, and his words were too little.
It was Su Bai who was curious about Duan Yiyue, and had the idea of finding out his details and couldn't contain it. Although Su Bai is a native of Southern Chu, that period of history is too long, seventeen or eighteen years have passed, and he doesn't know much about the original situation.
And the people who know best are probably his grandfather and father. But since his grandfather poured all his family wealth to save his life, he didn't dare to make the Su family bigger, and divided the entire clan into genealogy and went their own way. After that, he died depressed. And the father threw his son to the invincible Taoist and took his daughter-in-law to play in the mountains and rivers.
The Su family has since been unrecognizable.
Occasionally, when they think of their son, the couple will go to Invincible to watch him, talk about their family, and then leave without any nostalgia when he is asleep. In the past few years, he has not been invincible, but he hasn't seen his father and mother for a long time, and he almost forgot their appearance.
In addition to the unreliable father and mother, the one who knows the history of the year best is his unreliable master.
Su Bai touched his chin and thought about how he could lead his master to Xiangping Mansion.
He turned his wheelchair to the opposite side of Han Youning's bookcase, and showed him a Zhao Chengyuan-style smile, "I'm tired of Ai Concubine."
Han Youning buried his head in copying scriptures with a cold face, "I don't have time."
Although she was angry with Su Bai for asserting ideas in her heart, she was really not available.
The master often had to send scriptures to pilgrims who were "organically related", but because he was too old to be lazy, he assigned his disciples to copy the scriptures for him.
Now that she is older, she can see more and more clearly that Master's fame is something he has achieved by playing all kinds of tricks.
Su Bai said quietly, "Didn't you ask me to find out about the birth of King Jin, and if I find a key place, I have to ask Master and his old man."
Han Youning raised his head, "Really?"
Su Bai smiled, "Naturally. But if you want to bring Master over, you still have to rely on Master Xuanzhi."
"That's good, what to do, I'll tell Master."
Su Bai said, "As long as Master Xuanzhi sends a letter to Master and invites him to come to Hongtai Temple to live and take care of food and housing, he will come."
Han Youning was stunned, "It's so simple? Your master is too miserable, and he is still at the lowest stage of survival?"
Su Bai nodded heavily, "He really can't afford to eat, after all, the Taoist Temple has never had any income."
It's not that the master is pure and detached from the ordinary, it's that no one is willing to believe him, and no one is willing to donate incense to the Taoist temple. Master's only source of income was the filial piety given to him by his only apprentice every year, three hundred and thirty taels of silver a Chinese New Year's Eve.
Han Youning was shocked.
She originally thought that the Invincible Dao Master was the same as Master Xuanzhi, and that being stingy was purely a personal hobby. I didn't think it would be true, but I was really poor.
Han Youning went to tell Master the next day.
After receiving the promise of the little apprentice to have a box of snacks every day, the master readily wrote a letter to the invincible Taoist chief and sent someone to send him to the invincible temple. qδ
The invincible Dao chief is really very good, please even pack the package when he receives the letter, and follow the horse that sent the disciple to the letter.
After all, he didn't have a horse, and he was reluctant to pay for the money to hire a carriage, and he was reluctant to eat and drink on the silver road.
He climbed up the mountain with quick legs and feet, and happily rushed into Master Xuanzhi's meditation room, "Old monk, when did you become so generous?"
Master Xuanzhi slowly ate glutinous rice osmanthus cake, "My Buddha is merciful, and I can't watch the old Taoist priest starve to death."
The invincible Dao elder was thin, his robe was patched, and his messy beard was sparse and dry, and he looked like a refugee.
He pouted his beard and said, "I've taken care of your accommodation for more than a month, and you should repay me a thing or two."
Seeing that the old monk was eating alone, and he didn't know how to let him be a guest, he sat down straight, picked up a glutinous rice osmanthus cake and ate it.
His small eyes narrowed into lines, "Delicious! Your little apprentice did it?"
"Knowingly, don't you eat and rob me of half of it?"
Master Xuanzhi sped up the speed of eating dim sum
。
The Invincible Dao Leader also sped up.
The snack box was soon empty, and the old monk and the old Taoist priest hiccuped together.
The Invincible Dao Master sighed, "It's still your apprentice's filial piety. My unfilial apprentice, I taught him how to eat and drink, and I haven't given me a snack for so many years."
"Six taels of silver in a Chinese New Year's Eve, enough for you to buy several boxes of snacks!"
As soon as the curtain of the door was lifted, Su Bai and Han Youning came in.
Su Bai got up from his wheelchair and patted his leg, "Your unfilial apprentice was sold by you to the King of Jin for ten years, and his leg was smashed if it was broken, the princess is not such an unreliable master!"
The Invincible Dao Leader squinted his eyes and looked him up and down, "Fat, it seems that you are eating well in the Chen family."
Su Bai stared at him dangerously, "Why don't I break your leg and give you something to eat and drink every day?"
The Invincible Dao Master pointed at him and said indignantly, "Criminal, criminal!"
He turned to Master Xuanzhi and said, "See, I'm not talking nonsense, right? This is my wicked criminal!"
Master Xuanzhi shook his head sympathetically.
He turned to look at his little scoundrel with relief, compared to it, he really didn't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings.
So, happiness is comparative.
The Invincible Dao Leader walked up to Han Youning again, "Girl, my thug hasn't caused you much trouble, right?"
Han Youning smiled, "It's okay, it's just that I like to make my own decisions too much."
The Invincible Dao Elder nodded again and again as if he had found a bosom friend, "You're so right! When he followed me back then, he gave me a lot of decisions, as if he was a master and I was an apprentice. There is also the filial piety of thirty years, six two, one month, three taels in the Chinese New Year's Eve, which is the number he counts with his fingers. It is said that he teaches kung fu one or two a month, teaches Taoism one or two, and the other one or two is his food expenses. But his father promised to give him two hundred taels of silver a year......
The Invincible Dao Master began to count Su Bai's various evil deeds.
Su Bai took off his robe and sat down on the futon, "The criminals are here to give you filial piety, since you are not rare, then forget it."
"Rare, rare!"
The Invincible Dao Master immediately put on a smiling face, sat down next to the apprentice, and asked with a smile, "Are you really here to send filial piety?"
Su Bai turned the purse around his waist and flipped it in his hand, and there was a heavy sound in the bulging purse.
"Fifty taels."
"Good apprentice, have you given him filial piety?"
The invincible Dao chief's small eyes lit up, and a thin face smiled into a dry chrysanthemum, and he reached out to take the purse.
Su Bai ducked his hand back and asked with a smile, "Don't scold the criminals?"
"No more scolding, no more scolding." The Invincible Dao Elder sneered, "Isn't the master-apprentice relationship between the two of us cultivated so noisily?"
"Remember what you say."
Su Bai put the purse in his hand.
The Invincible Dao Leader smiled and flipped his purse, "Is it enough? How do I feel less than fifty taels?"
"Give it back to me, I'll find a small scale to weigh it." Su Bai made a gesture to get the purse back.
The Invincible Dao Master hurriedly put the purse into his arms, "No, I can trust you!"
Master Xuanzhi shook his head and sighed, this master is really humble.
