    Pan Youan looked at Jia Lian who turned around gracefully, and was filled with excitement. He secretly swore that as long as the second master was willing to help him and his cousin get married, he would use his whole life's wisdom to earn money for the second master.

    At this thought, Pan You'an curled his lips and smiled. What he despised most was the short-sightedness of the two brothers Lai and Dalai who did not care about the source of income and only knew how to steal the master's money.

    Rats!

    Pan Youan was once made to swear by his father that even if he died, he would not be able to do such a betrayal.  The Pan family was engaged in conscientious business, so they were set up by traitors in the first place. They were desperate and defected to the Jia family.

    It was the ancestor of the Jia family who saved the ancestor of the Pan family, otherwise the Pan family would have been wiped out, so the ancestor of the Pan family made his descendants swear not to betray the grace of saving their lives.

    In the previous life, Pan Youan ran away and returned home calmly. Firstly, it was because he and his cousin had an inseparable relationship with each other, and secondly, he had sworn an oath that he would never betray his master.  Before Pan Youan escaped, the two governments had indeed not failed Pan Youan.

    Jia Lian turned around and told Jia Rong: "If you like to follow Xiaoliu, then follow him, but don't just be playful, and learn how he behaves. Look at Xiaoliuzi, you are even younger, and you can already wield a sword and walk around.  Stand alone."

    "Although you have the foundation of your ancestors to rely on and you don't have to worry about food and drink, you still have to learn something and do something in your life, so that your life will be interesting. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time to come to this world and eat with those who are waiting to die?  What's the difference between beasts?"

    Jia Rong was frightened by his tirade and felt very ashamed. She stretched out her hand to pull Jia Lian's sleeve and said hesitantly: "Second uncle, how about I go to Wudang with you? I won't play with Xiao Liu anymore."

    Jia Lian snorted when he heard the words: "If you don't have faith, you can't stand up. It's the most important thing to change your orders overnight. You are a man, a man. You have to talk every time you talk. How can you let down the loyalty of a friend so easily? Since you have promised, you should do it, otherwise  , who will care about you in the future?"

    Jia Rong was stunned.

    He thought that if he agreed to go with him, his second uncle would definitely like it. But he was wrong again, so he had to agree obediently: "I will definitely go up to the mountain to learn skills in one month. Don't worry, my second uncle!"

    Before leaving, Jia Lian specially told Pan Youan: "You can't earn enough money from external things, but your own safety is the most important thing."

    The sail is easily broken when it is full.  Pan You'an was a piece of rough jade, loyal and practical, but Jia Lian was reluctant to use him up once.

    Finally, Jia Lian and Pan Youan agreed that no matter what, they must go to Wudang to meet Jia Lian after three months. Whether Jia Lian can learn the secrets and successfully build the foundation will be known in a hundred days.

    Jia Lian decided to set off before the twelfth lunar month at the latest and rush back to Kyoto to participate in the royal feast and winter hunt.

    This is an agreement between Jia Lian and her father, Sister Feng. If it is not necessary, Jia Lian does not want to break the contract and make his family worried.

    " Let's say that Jia Lian and Jia Rong said goodbye and went to Wudang alone.

    Jia Lian soon discovered that although Wudang Mountain was a place of wonders and beautiful places as his grandfather said, he did not see the thousands of disciples under his sect as his grandfather said.

    Jia Lian hummed as he climbed up the mountain. Apart from feeling empty and silent, it had nothing to do with the holy land of cultivation that his grandfather said was famous and popular.

    Jia Lian couldn't help but frown, isn't this Wudang Mountain?

    But I clearly saw a large stone tablet at the foot of the mountain with the word Wudang written on it.

    What happened?

    According to what my grandfather said, he has not been here for at most thirty or forty years. How did the Taoist temple end up like this?

    Jia Lian decided to pay his respects and pay attention first.

    Jia Lian handed over his business card, but did not see the visitor. The governor¡¯s brother received Jia Lian.  Jia Lian was recognized by the governor's brother with his family's ancient tokens and was allowed to live and practice in Wudang temporarily.

    The governor brother is a fat Taoist priest with a smile, his little eyes are bright, but he is very polite to others.

    He quickly explained the rules of the Taoist temple. Jia Lian could use the guest room at the back of the Taoist temple, but Jia Lian had to take care of his own food and living. He could either pay money to set up a company in the Taoist temple, or serve as an executive in the Taoist temple, and he could eat the meals of the Taoist disciples.

    It is also stated that the Taoist temple only provides vegetarian meals.

    Jia Lian is not here to enjoy the blessings. It doesn¡¯t matter whether the food is good or bad. It only lasts for a hundred days at most. How can he persevere.  After finding out that the monthly accommodation fee for one person was only two taels of silver, he readily asked Zhao Liangdong to hand over a hundred taels of silver to the governor's senior brother as the room and board expenses for the master and servant.

    When the senior brother governor saw Xue Hua Yin, his eyes flashed, and he immediately declined: "That's too much! Tan Yue can pay monthly, just pay four taels in advance. It's embarrassing to say that Tan Yue is a descendant of his predecessor, his uncle, and coming to the Taoist temple is like  Go home and collect the fees?It shouldn't be done, how can it be cheaper to get involved in sandalwood again?  "

    Jia Lian smiled and cupped his hands: "Senior brother, you're welcome. We, master and servant, live here for the time being. We have two lives, man and earth. From now on, we rely on senior brother to take care of us. Please accept some of your kindness, otherwise I won't be able to trouble senior brother in the future."

    Hearing this, the senior brother governor¡¯s smile became more sincere, he bowed his hands and said, ¡°Xiao Tan Yue is so polite! Just tell me if you have anything to do.¡±

    Jia Lian said: "I am dissatisfied with senior brother. I have something to entrust to senior brother right now. I also have a nephew who is the great-great-grandson of my great-uncle. Oh, my great-uncle is also a disciple of Wudang. His name is called Yan. He will come to see me in a month."  , then I will have to trouble my senior brother to recruit him!"

    "No trouble!"

    The fat governor laughed more and more until he couldn't see his teeth. No one came, so he was in trouble.

    This dynasty hates monks and Taoism for special reasons. The prestige of Taoist temples is not as good as before, and fewer and fewer disciples come to learn Taoism. Taoist priests are no longer able to go out to practice hard alms like monks, and life becomes more and more difficult.

    "The Taoist temple is now struggling to survive on just a few hundred acres of medicinal fields. Unfortunately, there are too many monks and too little food. In fact, it is just lingering on.

    If the temple owner was not proficient in pharmacology and the Taoist temple had not made some homemade pills, plasters, medicinal wine, etc. for bruises and injuries, the Taoist temple would have been disbanded long ago.

    Jia Lian frowned when he heard this: "How could it be? Didn't Wudang produce many masters? Like my great-grandfather, didn't they report back and take care of him?"

    The governor shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Tan Yue doesn't know something. In the past, our place was very prosperous. There were many people who were successful in practicing cultivation, or extending their lives, or just like your ancestors. Don't say they repay, just say that successful people like them exist.  Every year, the disciples who come inexplicably have to squeeze through the threshold. At that time, we didn¡¯t talk about selecting disciples, but there were also handyman disciples vying to do it!¡±

    Jia Lian became interested: "Why did it happen like this later?"

    The fat senior brother shook his head: "It's unlucky. That year, a rich young man suddenly came to Kyoto to visit the Taoist temple. For some reason, he died on the bed for no reason in the middle of the night. If he didn't have any scars on his body and no signs of poisoning, we in the Taoist temple would be afraid.  There is no way to escape and survive.

    Even so, the young master Kuo's family still held a grudge. Not only did they go around ruining the reputation of the Taoist temple, but they also united with officials in Jingxiang to suppress the Taoist temple. The Taoist temple had to bear all kinds of heavy chores every year, and the excessive levies and taxes were overwhelming. The Taoist temple was already overwhelmed.  Burden, alas!  "

    Jia Lian felt very awkward when he heard this. As far as he knew, the monks and Taoists ignored the affairs of the mortal world, and exorbitant taxes, military service, and corvee had nothing to do with them. How could it be like this now?

    Jia Lian secretly thought that the identity of the deceased Kuo Shao was not simple.

    Jia Lian looked around and was very surprised: "Why is the Taoist temple so deserted?"

    The fat senior brother hesitated to speak, and finally said: "A few days ago, the county government issued an announcement asking our Taoist temple to be responsible for dredging the river. It was strictly ordered that the dredging must be completed before the peach blossom season, otherwise the hundred acres that the imperial court had given to the Taoist temple would be returned.  The medicine field actually forced the Taoist temple to close its doors and disband, so the temple owner had no choice but to take more than a hundred of his disciples to dig out the mud."

    Hearing this, Jia Lian nodded and said yes, knowing in his heart that the Taoist priest was not telling the truth, at least not completely.

    "However, there is no rush now, let's settle down first, because we took Zhao Liangdong to the guest room in the back mountain. It was said to be a guest room, but it was an entire courtyard.

    The scenery in the courtyard is different from the layout of flowers, plants and trees in the Kyoto courtyard. The courtyard looks very empty, but a tall pine tree grows from the back wall of the courtyard. Its branches are spreading, lush and green, and the canopy covers the entire courtyard. Walking from a distance.  , only the tree crowns can be seen but no roof.

    Jia Lian stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking into the distance, he saw green mountains and white clouds, just like a fairyland.

    The courtyard is located in the middle of the mountain, with a quiet environment, clear air, gentle breeze, not cold on the face, and a special fragrance of grass and trees, which is refreshing and refreshing.

    It¡¯s really a beautiful place to live, but it¡¯s a pity that it hangs alone on the top of a mountain and is difficult for ordinary people to climb.

    At dusk, Jia Lian, who was meditating and practicing, opened his eyes. Feeling refreshed, he saw Zhao Liangdong's hesitant figure, reluctant to enter at the door, and then back again when he wanted to leave.

    Jia Lian disliked Zhao Liangdong¡¯s hesitant temper the most, so he coughed: ¡°Come back!¡±

    Zhao Liangdong might as well notice that Jia Lian woke up, and hummed: "Second Master, I'm awake. I've been back a long time ago. I don't dare to disturb you if you're not awake!"

    Seeing his frightened expression, Jia Lian knew that this guy had something on his mind, so he asked, "What are you asking about? Who is Mr. Kuo?"

    Zhao Liangdong shook his head: "I don't know, it seems that the family felt that this matter was very embarrassing, so they deliberately kept it a secret, and everyone involved was silenced!"

    After saying this, Zhao Liangdong looked mysteriously, looking left and right, as if he had learned some great news.

    Jia Lian saw him pretending to be mysterious and was very impatient: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

    Zhao Liangdong smiled coquettishly, then approached Jia Lian, his body trembling slightly: "I found out, it was said that Kuo young man jumped into three pools to play in the water before he died, and drank the water from the stone spring, and someone saw him running to the pool in the middle of the night.  Riza Mengzi, he died the next day."

    Jia Lian saw him pretending to be mysterious and was very impatient: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

    Zhao Liangdong smiled coquettishly, then approached Jia Lian, his body trembling slightly: "I found out, it was said that Kuo young man jumped into three pools to play in the water before he died, and drank the water from the stone spring, and someone saw him running to the pool in the middle of the night.  Rizha Mengzi, he died the next day."
