“I can’t speak for other places, but within this area of Changling City, young friend, feel free to set up a branch. 1’11 directly sign and approve any documents!”
Elder Jingde said cheerfully.
Having received such a precious gift from young friend Xuanqing, he didn’t seek to return the favor but simply help with worldly matters.
“Oh, by the way, this child of yours…?”
“Hehe, this child of mine is not human.” Xuanqing smiled slightly and patted Huai Qingyun’s head.
Upon hearing this,
Elder Jingde had no reaction.
However, Ru Xiao, on the other hand, trembled, her eyes filled with fear, and she stepped back a few steps.
“Is… is he… a ghost?”
??
Xuanqing was taken aback.
As a legitimate Taoist of Xuanmen, how could he raise ghosts?
Huai Qingyun stomped his foot and unhappily snorted.
“Woman, you are the ghost, your whole family is ghosts!”
“Qingyun, don’t be rude, how can you be disrespectful to Daoist Jingde?” Xuanqing chastised.
Immediately,
Huai Qingyun looked wronged and lowered his head, apologizing in a mosquito-like buzz, “Sorry… sorry.”
“Hahaha, young friend, don’t be like this, children’s words have no harm, besides, my granddaughter is also speaking nonsense, offending your child!” Daoist Jingde laughed heartily.
Seeing Ru Xiao still wearing a fearful expression,
Xuanqing was somewhat speechless.
Even if it were a real ghost, as a Taoist, she should not be so scared. This girl is really too timid.
“My child is formed from the locust tree in the front yard of the Taoist temple, and the locust tree nourishes Yin, which is the ancestral level of ghosts and monsters.”
“It’s not a ghost… it’s a locust tree!” Ru Xiao patted her chest, letting out a sigh of relief.
It’s not her fault for being timid; modern horror movies are just too terrifying, especially those involving children, like curses and such.
Afterwards,
They chatted for a while,
Elder Jingde soon showed a tired expression. After all, he was older and had a lot of emotional fluctuations earlier. He managed to chat until now only because of the effects of the Soul-calming Jade Talisman and the Serenity Jade Talisman.
“When people get old, they need to nap, 1 can’t handle it anymore. I’m going back first, let’s talk more when we have time!”
“As for the matter of setting up a branch, if you’ve chosen a location, just send me a message directly.”
Elder Jingde cupped his hands in farewell.
“Alright, Daoist Priest, please do as you wish.” Xuanqing stood up and slightly bowed in salute.
There weren’t enough rooms in the Taoist temple to accommodate everyone, so the three empty rooms had been cleaned up for the twelve young shrine masters to stay in.
Further, the Chief Officer of the county’s Business Department outside was eagerly waiting for Elder Jingde, the Chairman of the Pharmaceutical Group.
Therefore,
Jingde was only escorted to the parking lot.
In the evening,
As dusk arrived, the golden sunset spilled onto the ground.
The visitors gradually dispersed, and their experiences today would surely become a topic of conversation for some time.
The tranquility of the past returned to the Taoist temple.
In the front yard!
A bonfire was lit.
Yang Ying, the twelve young shrine masters, and others sat on cushions around the bonfire in a semicircle.
Moments later,
Huai Qingyun appeared with two trays in his hands, each filled with small bowls containing spiritual porridge.
“Taoist brothers, please have some porridge!” Huai Qingyun slightly pushed the tray forward.
The young Taoist hastily took a small bowl from the tray, then solemnly expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, Daoist friend, for the trouble!”
In the daytime, they had seen with their own eyes that such a little child had severely beaten the Double Dragon who was over six feet tall.
Everyone, including Yang Ying, got a bowl of spiritual porridge.
“My fellow Daoist brothers have come to attend the Qingping Temple ceremony, and it has helped strengthen our momentum. I am very happy about that.”
“This spiritual porridge nourishes the body and strengthens it. Please, everyone, enjoy!” Xuanqing spoke loudly as he held up his small bowl to everyone.
Everyone raised their bowls in turn.
Although they were eating porridge, it felt as if they were drinking wine.
After a day of experience, these young Taoist priests realized what it meant to be an expert.
Some Daoists, who had originally planned to join the master, seized this opportunity to express their intention to join him.
“Elder Brother Xuanqing, do you need any additional manpower at Qingping Temple?” one young Taoist priest asked.
Hearing that,
Xuanqing thought for a moment and then said, “There’s no need for personnel recruitment at Qingping Temple, but 1 have the intention of promoting Taoism and expanding my branch view.”
“If you’re willing to help manage the branch view, I will provide you with a monthly salary of 50,000 and pay your Five Insurance and One Gold pension!”
At this remark,
???
Fifty thousand?
The hearts of the daoists tightened.
Even though they had already experienced Xuanqing’s generous offerings like the billion-worth ginseng porridge, they were still astonished.
The former was just a momentary comfort after consumption, but the latter was a tangible bonus they could pocket.
The very first young Taoist priest who asked the question was even more excited and asked again, “Elder brother Xuanqing, do you mean a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan as a single expense?”
“That’s right!” Xuanqing nodded slightly.
After getting the answer,
The young Daoist shouted, then knelt on one knee, hands clasped in a fist, and performed a showy act.
“Xuanjing has been wandering for half his life, only regretting not meeting a wise master. If you won’t abandon me… I’m willing to serve as your adopted son!”
He shouted a line similar to when Lu Bu turned to Dong Zhuo.
Pff!
“Get out of here, I just want to hire a laborer! I’m not looking to adopt a big son!” Xuanqing almost burst out laughing.
Speaking of which,
He could only feel such emotional fluctuations here on Earth, where he felt like not only an extraordinary celestial Taoist but also a modern young man.
For a moment,
The originally serious atmosphere became joyful.
The nervousness in the hearts of the young Taoist priests also dissipated, and seeing their companions get high-paying jobs, they were eager to speak up.
“Elder brother Xuanqing, I also want to work as a laborer under you.”
“Add one, add one, I’m also someone with ideals and want to follow my elder brother in promoting Taoism.”
“Haha, if you pay me a monthly salary of 50,000, elder brother, I’ll even return to secular life if you wish!”
The hearts of cultivators are unrestrained, regardless of age or cultivation level. Whatever the young Daoist priests think, they will say directly.
“Alright, since you’re all willing, let me take advantage of this opportunity to share my thoughts on our branch temple.”
Xuanqing gave a slight smile, and replied to everyone.
Speaking of which,
Putting aside the issue of ability, these twelve temple masters have excellent mindsets, unblemished by worldly influences.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have chosen to be assigned as temple masters in remote places, waiting for a chance at the revered mountain temples after graduation.
“My aim in setting up branch temples is to promote our daoist teachings and compete for the incense of the common people.”
“So, everything must be in accordance with the standards of Qingping Temple. Whether it’s incense candles, canteens, or parking… Everything can only be charged at cost.”
At these words,
All the Daoists gave a thumbs-up, admiration beyond words filling their hearts..
