Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates
Chapter 49: The old Taoist is confident that he can win, and verbally takes advantage in advance
Seeing this scene, Li Muhua immediately turned to look at the old Taoist priest Xu Yi, wanting to end the matter as soon as possible.
"Old Taoist priest, you heard what my parents said, right? As long as I ask you a question and you can answer it correctly, I will become a monk."
"How about it?"
"Do you dare to promise?"
Taoist Xu Yi was secretly delighted at first, but when he saw that Li Muhua was obviously unwilling to become a monk, he said that he would become a monk as long as he could answer one of his questions correctly.
He looked so confident that he could win that Taoist Xuyi was filled with doubts.
"My young friend has a sharp mind. I am afraid that only heaven and earth know your problem, and you know it." Taoist master Xu Yi lowered his eyes and said.
"Haha~~"
Li Muhua laughed at what he heard, and then he mocked, "Old Taoist priest, you are already 73 years old this year. Are you afraid that you can't answer the questions asked by a kid like me?"
Taoist Xu Yi just bowed and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable."
Then he stopped talking.
Li Muhua simply said, "Don't worry, old Taoist priest. My problem will be solved in a year, and by then everyone in the city will know about it. I can't deny your debt."
"As long as you answer my questions, I'll see in a year. If they come true, I'll become a monk right then and there. How about that?"
The matter of the Taoist temple was known to everyone in the city a year later.
As soon as Li Muhua said this, Taoist Xuyi felt overjoyed. He was the headmaster of the Taoist temple, so shouldn't he have the final say on what the temple would be like in a year?
If that's the case, then I'm sure I can answer this question. It seems this kid isn't that smart! He's still young after all!
After the ecstasy, Taoist Xuyi felt a little disappointed, because Li Muhua meant that he would have to wait another year before he could become a monk?
"I have agreed to your promise, my friend. The deadline is this year, right?"
Taoist Xuyi said this tentatively, trying to advance the time as much as possible.
Li Muhua didn't listen and said directly: "One year, just one year and three months. I want to ask you whether the Taoist temple fair can be held as usual in the first month of the new year after one year and three months!"
When these words were spoken, not only the Taoist master Xu Yi, but also Xu Haifu and Xu Yan were stunned.
You should know that the temple fair of Baiyun Temple is one of the traditional temple fairs in the city. Even during the wars in previous years, the Taoist temple did not hold temple fairs itself, but the people in the city would spontaneously organize temple fairs and pray to the immortal to bless them so that the war would subside in the new year.
Not to mention in today's prosperous times without disasters. In recent years, the temple fairs at Baiyun Temple have always been packed with people, making it difficult to squeeze in!
So Li Haifu really didn't understand what Li Muhua meant. Could it be that he just wanted to delay it for a year or two?
When Taoist Master Xu Yi heard this, he immediately beamed with joy and answered directly, "The world is now prosperous and peaceful. The temple fair will be held as scheduled in a year. Everyone in the Taoist temple will pray for the pilgrims who come to worship."
"it is good!"
"Then it's settled. If the Taoist temple can still hold a temple fair in a year, I will pack up my bedding and become a monk."
Li Muhua said directly, then looked at Li Haifu and others.
"Dad, Mom, let's go and worship the Immortal Lord. After all, I am now his registered disciple. Maybe if we worship him, he will bless us even more!"
"Little one, you——"
Before Xu Yan could finish her sobbing words, Li Muhua pushed her into the temple.
"Mom, weren't you eager to come and pay respect to the Immortal Lord this morning? Why aren't you anxious anymore when you get to the temple? Let me tell you, the Taoist Lord is our own now..."
Taoist Master Xu Yi looked at this scene, bowed in the direction of the people and said, "Wulian Tianzun, Qiu Zu bless you!"
Then the Taoist master Xu Yi also followed.
Li Muhua had just taken a few steps and was about to explain to the others when he saw Taoist Xu Yi chasing after him from the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but think that it was bad luck.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord."
"Since I have brought a few incense masters here to burn incense, I should accompany them and introduce to you the Taoist immortals enshrined in the temple."
When Xu Yan heard Taoist Master Xu Yi calling Li Muhua "little disciple" directly, the tears that had just been stopped by comfort suddenly rolled down again. Li Muhua also got angry on the spot and quickly retorted:
"Master, we agreed to see the result in a year. Now the time has not come and the result is not out yet. You are shouting nonsense like this. Aren't you a bit disrespectful of your status?"
Taoist Xu Yi responded with a slight smile.
"My little disciple, you are still a mortal now, so you don't understand what I see in my eyes. My eyes can tell past and present lives, and can also see future events. So in my eyes, I can see one year from now, and you will already be my disciple. So there is no problem in calling you that."
"Humph!"
Li Muhua snorted disdainfully. If he could really see the future, why would he still answer that the temple fair would be held the year after next? It was a joke.
He is truly a complete old liar, and his face is even thicker than his age!
"Old Taoist priest, didn't you just mention Ji Gong? Then I advise you to drink a little wine like him. When you are drunk, not only I will be your disciple, but everyone in the world can be your disciple."
"No, then the world will be yours!"
Having said that, Li Muhua turned and looked at Xu Yan.
"Mom, let's go. Let the old Taoist priest talk. He has a mouth on his body. How can we stop him from talking?"
The Taoist master Xu Yi remained calm and just followed closely behind them.
"Look, little disciple. In front of us is the Ling Palace of our temple. Inside, the main seat enshrines Wang Lingguan, and there are four guardian marshals: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Wang Lingguan is the guardian deity of our Taoism, the inspector of heaven and earth..."
Taoist Xuyi kept chattering along the way, and even after the few people entered the door, he began to introduce himself to each of them in detail. His enthusiasm was beyond words.
But the Li family members didn't have the heart to listen at this time! Especially Xu Yan, the more she listened, the more bitter she felt.
Li Muhua saw Xu Yan's unhappiness, and then came over and whispered, "Mom, don't worry. If I really become a Taoist priest, I will definitely give up this Taoist temple. Without the Taoist temple, I don't know what else he can use to keep me."
Xu Yan had no intention of playing with Li Muhua at this moment. In her eyes, the more enthusiastic the old Taoist was, the more it showed that he valued Li Muhua. He even called on his young disciple. It seemed that Li Muhua's becoming a Taoist priest was a foregone conclusion.
By then, as long as Li Muhua entered the temple, he would be at the mercy of others. It would not be as easy as Li Muhua said.
But seeing that Li Muhua didn't care about it at all, Xu Yan didn't want him to feel sad with her, so she forced herself to be sad, nodded and smiled and said:
"My dear, I believe you!"
Li Muhua then smiled happily, and then pointed at the old Taoist priest Xu Yi who was still introducing the school and whispered, "Mom, ignore him, just treat him as a tour guide."
"Look, we came to the Taoist temple to worship an immortal, and we even brought an old Taoist priest with us to introduce us. How impressive! Others want it but don't have it yet!"
As he spoke, Li Muhua looked slyly at the Taoist master Xu Yi who was still talking incessantly, and said viciously.
"If it were you, I'd say we should walk through all the halls in the temple this morning. I have to see how good he is at talking. I have to talk him until he foams at the mouth."
"Okay, Mom will listen to you. Let's go around the whole temple today."
Xu Yan said this while touching Li Muhua's head lovingly, then took her hand back and wiped her eyes again.
