Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Master Xu Yi was unhappy at this moment, let alone the shrewd Yan Bugui, so he immediately said in a stern voice: "Auntie, what are you thinking?

How can you take all the good things in this world by yourself? "

"Whether you follow the old Taoist priest to cultivate Taoism and become an immortal, or become a high-ranking official in the future, that is a good thing that many people would beg for, how could you still make the old immortal angry!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang was a little panicked, fearing that Taoist Xu Yi would take back his words, and then she hurriedly wanted to kneel down.

At the same time, she kept begging for mercy, saying, "Old Immortal, I was wrong. It was all because of my greed. Please don't blame my Bang Geng! He must be a high-ranking official in the future!"

Seeing that the Taoist master Xu Yi had been hiding and not letting Jia Zhang kowtow, Yan Bugui and the three aunts naturally tried their best to lift her up and not let Jia Zhang kneel down.

At the same time, Jia Zhang also shouted at Banggeng: "Banggeng, quickly, quickly kowtow to the old immortal, and make sure the old immortal does not blame your grandmother, and even more so, does not blame you——"

Seeing this scene, even though he had known about the Jia family, especially the character of Jia Zhang, Taoist Xu Yi still couldn't help feeling disgusted and simply turned around.

"Forget it, forget it. This boy and I are not meant to be together. I will not mention the matter of cultivating the Tao again. You can just wait for this boy to win the imperial examination, have a prosperous career, and serve the country and the people in the future!"

After hearing Taoist Xuyi speak again, Jia Zhang stopped crying and then looked at Yan Bugui with a curious look.

Yan Bugui quickly explained: "The old immortal said that Banggeng and he are not destined to be together, so he will not accept him as his apprentice. But Banggeng will still be able to get into a good university in the future, and then become a high-ranking official, and make contributions to our country and our people!"

"Great, great, it would be great to be a high-ranking official!"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she started to cry again, and then she broke free from the control of Yan Bugui and his wife. Then she pulled Bang Geng, who was still confused, over to the side, and made him kneel down and kowtow, saying:

"Thank you, old immortal. Come thank you with me. When my son Bang Geng becomes a high-ranking official, I will definitely ask him to make golden statues of all the immortals in the temple. No, I will directly cast their statues with gold..."

Seeing this unbearable scene, everyone couldn't help but look at the Taoist master Xu Yi with some doubt. Can this thing really become a high-ranking official in the future?

Still want to serve the country and the people?

I'm afraid it would be better to strangle him to death now in order to serve the country and the people?

Taoist Xu Yi was filled with resentment when he saw this scene. He really shouldn't have agreed to Li Muhua's stupid idea. The two grandparents of the Jia family were so greedy that they threatened to build a golden statue before they became high officials.

He even said that this guy could become a high-ranking official! And in front of so many people!

In the eyes of Taoist Xuyi, what is the difference between this scene and directly destroying the reputation of their Taoist temple?

Thinking of this, Taoist Master Xu Yi thought for a moment and then rejected Jia Zhang in a cold voice, saying, "The Three Pure Ones only need clay sculptures. If you want to make a golden body, you should go to the temple!"

"It seems that I was not wrong. This boy is indeed destined to be with the Tao, but it is the Buddhist Tao. If he joins a temple, he may be able to cultivate to the status of an Arhat!"

It is better to leave this kind of believers to the Buddha, as He is very powerful!

As for myself, I should quickly find this source of blessing and use it to restore the reputation of my Taoist temple!

After saying this, without waiting for Jia Zhang to speak again, Taoist Xu Yi looked at everyone in the yard, constantly calculating with his hands as if he was looking for someone.

"I have seen the immortal fate, but I have no chance to be with him. There is also the source of fortune——"

As he spoke, Taoist Xu Yi's eyes suddenly widened, and his hand stopped pinching his fingers and retracted into his wide sleeves.

"found it!"

Everyone followed the Taoist Xu Yi's gaze and saw that he was staring at the deaf old lady and walking towards Sha Zhu's main house.

Seeing Taoist Xu Yi staring at her, the deaf old lady narrowed her eyes and looked left and right in confusion, as if she didn't hear anything and didn't know what happened.

Only the crutch tightly held in her hand revealed her inner tension.

Somehow, from the moment she met Taoist Master Xuyi, she had always felt a little uneasy in her heart, especially every time Taoist Master Xuyi's eyes swept across the crowd.

In her opinion, she always felt that he was staring at her.

So when she saw that Taoist Xu Yi really came to find her, she couldn't help but feel alarmed.

"The blessing in my temple is quite different. The blessing belongs to purple, but the blessing light in the main courtyard is purple with pink. If you look closely, the purple is black, and the pink is bloody. The four colors are also faintly transformed into the shape of a python dragon. It is very strange!"

As he was speaking, Taoist Xu Yi had already walked up to the deaf old lady, then bowed and said, "Old layman, can you tell me why this happened?"

"Old Taoist priest, what are you talking about?" The deaf old lady first asked in confusion, then pointed to her ears and said:

"Ma'am, I can't hear you. Please speak louder!"

Li Muhua heard that what Taoist Xu Yi said was not good, and concluded that he had found out the deaf old lady's background, so he simply acted as a shill and shouted in the silent crowd:

"Old Immortal, aren't you an immortal? You can tell fortunes. Since the old lady won't tell us, why don't you tell us yourself? Let us see if you are really an old immortal."

The clear voice of a child spread throughout the courtyard. Everyone looked at Li Muhua with different expressions, some with recognition, some with expectation, and some with resentment from the deaf old lady.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Bugui rebuked: "Muhua, don't be rude to the old immortal!"

Taoist Xu Yi smiled calmly, shook his head and said, "It's okay, children should not be afraid of talking!"

Then he looked at all the neighbors and saw that they were all looking at him expectantly, hoping that he could figure out the origin of the deaf old lady, so he couldn't help but chuckle and said:

"Since all of you want to see my arithmetic, I'd rather obey than be disrespectful. Then I'll do the math!"

After saying this, Taoist Xu Yi stretched out his hand from his wide sleeves, looked at the deaf old lady and said, "You don't need to count the first sentence. You can tell at a glance that you are not blind, but you are blind in your heart!"

"If I make any inaccuracies in my calculations, please correct me!"

As he spoke, Taoist Xuyi secretly glanced at the cane tightly held in the deaf old lady's hand, quietly stepped back three steps, and stood in a row with Daoyin and the other person behind him, even with a hint of intention of falling behind them.

The deaf old lady just stared at the Taoist master Xu Yi with her eyes wide open, gritted her old teeth but didn't open her mouth. She glanced at the neighbors in the courtyard and felt bitter in her heart.

"Silly Zhuzi! Why aren't you here today, my silly Zhuzi? If you were here, you would have kicked that broken Taoist priest out of the compound, and I, an old lady, wouldn't have to be here to interfere..."

Li Muhua watched this scene with great excitement. He could not wait to squeeze through the crowd and get to the front to ensure that he could hear clearly every word of Master Xu Yi.

Taoist Xuyi frowned slightly, lowered his head and pinched his fingers quickly. After a while, he slowly said, "Your ancestral home is not in Sijiu City but Suzhou and Hangzhou. You came to Sijiu City when you were twelve or thirteen years old. Your last name is Ruan and your given name is Hongmei, right?"

When Taoist Xu Yi was halfway through his words, the deaf old lady's eyes were already fierce. When she heard Taoist Xu Yi asking her again, she directly asked back in a cold voice:

"Old Taoist priest, I have never offended you, have I? Why do you have to go against an old lady like me who is about to be buried?"

"Let's not laugh at each other when we are alone. You must not force me, an old lady, to reveal some of the dirty things that happened to you before you came here!"

"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"

Taoist Xu Yi sang with a serious face, and then said in a serious tone: "You really haven't offended me, the Taoist, but you have offended all of us!"

"As for the shame of my sect, it has long been burned away by the fire. I only regret that I was not strong-willed and clear-minded at that time, and that I did not come out of seclusion to add more fuel to the fire!"
