Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 504 503. Or?don't want

"Daoist Priest Shouchu was born in Pegasus City?"

After getting into the car, Cui Wanrong politely exchanged greetings as the chariot and horses drove forward.

The first time the Cui family heard the name "Li Shouchu" was on the eve of Luoyang.Speaking of which, it's not that the Cui family doesn't have their own intelligence system, but the coverage is not that wide.

They are not Baiqisi, they want to monitor the world.

The current status of the Cui family is accumulated through their background, reputation, positions of important ministers in the past dynasties, and financial resources.

The focus of their intelligence systems is usually changes in the court situation and the location of the family property.

And the name "Li Shouchu" was labeled "Pegasus City" when he was Xi Sui.

It's a good excuse to strike up a conversation.

Li Zhen didn't intend to hide it, but shook her head with a smile:
"No, Pindao was born in Qiemo."

"And the end?"

Cui Wanrong was taken aback for a moment, vaguely feeling that the name sounded familiar.

It seems to be... heard somewhere.

But I can't remember it for a while.

And seeing her puzzled face, Li Zhen pointed to the west:
"It's a very small town in the northwest frontier. It's even smaller than Yuqian."

"I see."

First she nodded in agreement, then she complimented politely:

"But this small city of Qiemo can come out of Daoist priests, so it must be a city of outstanding people, right?"

Don't worry about the politeness of these words, but it's very comfortable to listen to.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Cui, for your compliment."

Li Zhen was also polite, but after the politeness, he asked a question from the bottom of his heart:
"Treasurer Cui, there is something unclear about Pindao."

"Excuse me, the Taoist priest."

"When I left the city today, I couldn't see these refugees outside the city. They..."

"I was ordered to retreat five miles."

Cui Wanrong explained:

"This time the matter is serious, my elder brother must be more cautious. So let them go back five miles... But please rest assured, my elder brother is not a life-and-death person. In order to appease them, I have prepared two more Ten stones of food was distributed to them so that they would not be hungry. Looking at the situation today, it is estimated that the restrictions inside and outside the city will be lifted tomorrow, and everything else will return to normal except for this mining area."

Hearing this, Li Zhen showed a look of relief.

Seeing this, Cui Wanrong thought for a while, and still followed the compliment that was mixed with sincerity and politeness, and said:
"The Taoist priest is indeed compassionate and cares about the common people, and he is not disturbed by the identities of these refugees. It is admirable."

"Hi."

As soon as Li Zhen waved his hand, there was no complacency on his face, but a touch of emotion.

"They are all hard-fated people. To be honest, shopkeeper Cui, the poor Taoist starved, and there was no porridge or rice in the freezing Taoist temple. It was so cold that I could only wrap up in the bed and hope that the rain would stop quickly. After experiencing it , you can understand them.”

With the sense of loss and empathy in his eyes when he was at the end of Qiemo, his tone was a little turbulent:

"If it's not that they can't live anymore, who would want to live like this? It's not their fault that they are forced by life. This world is bad...uh..."

After realizing that he had slipped the tongue, Li Zhen quickly shook his head:

"Let's just say it casually, shopkeeper Cui, don't blame him, don't blame him."

Cui Wanrong pretended not to hear.

Some things, even if they are facts, cannot be said directly.

So I changed the subject:
"Did the Taoist worship the Taoist Suning as his teacher?"

"Well, that's right. The teacher appreciates it and taught me the fate method..."

Although he knew that the other party was asking about his background, Li Zhen didn't hide it.

In fact, there is no need to hide these things, as long as anyone with some influence inquires, they can find out.

No need.

In fact, he could tell that the treasurer Cui must have something in his heart.

It's just that she doesn't know how to speak.

And the things that make it difficult for her to speak, it should be what the old grandson said, right?

To be honest, Li Zhen didn't know whether the Cui family was a blessing in disguise or a big loss this time.It's hard to understand, after all, he doesn't know whether the Cui family is short of money, and in this troubled world, are they trying to make money or what.

He doesn't know, so it's hard to guess.

Not to mention... He doesn't have any answer to what he should do now.

Does Xuanjun view the earth's veins?
Lack of dragon fire?

Are you short of money?
Wicked?
He didn't know either.

He didn't take the initiative to ask the second master "what's our school like" before.

I just know that Xuan Jun Guan is like a white lotus flower, no one should provoke it, and everyone should respect it.

That's all.

So these interests are being considered... Li Zhen doesn't know whether Xuan Jun wants it or not.

But instinctively... Li Zhen felt that the teacher should not care.

As the old saying goes, you know your son better than your father, and you know your father better than your son.

From Li Zhen's side, he felt that Second Master was quite simple.

Dedicated to the Tao, do not like foreign things.

Except for being a bit gluttonous...

But isn't gluttony also one of the advantages?Such a good-looking girl, without any cute hobbies, how can she be cute enough?

Right.

As for alchemy... He has never seen any alchemy furnaces or knowledge about alchemy in Xiangshan.

And the longevity that the other party pursues is not about taking pills, but integrating with time.Reach the realm of immortality, everything decays in time, and I am eternal.

The second master is like this.

Thinking about it, the master who looks younger than himself, but is not as handsome as himself, who is still pretending to be young at his age, should be similar, right?

If a sect really wanted to flourish, it would be inseparable from such things as wealth and law.

If you really want to grow up, it doesn't make sense for Xuan Jun to accept only one person per generation.

Why do people in the world give Xuan Junguan such a high status?One of the answers must be Xuan Junguan's desire for nothing.

Because what they pursue is detachment.On the outside, it is to protect the human race.

There will never be a quiet time in this world, there are only those people who carry the burden for you in places you can't see.

And when you know that someone has performed your duties for you, but not for fame and fortune, being admired becomes a matter of course.

From this point of view, Li Zhen estimated that the teacher should have little interest in this land vein.

It should be like this.

And today's luncheon, the reason why the old grandson did not attend may also have this aspect.

His identity is sensitive, although he has withdrawn from the view of Laojun, he still has a close relationship with the national teacher.If you go there and don't help to speak, it would be a bit unkind.

But after refusing, if he was still down-to-earth to prevent the firepower of the ground veins from spreading and leaking out, if he set up a formation, it would be tantamount to indirectly helping Laojunguan.

Laojunguan can only accept this friendship.

At the same time, the old grandson himself left the trouble far away...

Hey!
After thinking about it like this, Li Zhen realized that, you cunning old man Sun, are you holding back this evil in your heart?

Pull your Daoist out to top the tank! ?

I became more and more speechless in my heart, but I was still chatting with this shopkeeper Cui one sentence at a time.

Until the carriage entered the city, it arrived in front of the county magistrate's mansion on a deserted street.

Cui Gan actually came out to greet him in person.

I just don't know if it's because of Li Zhen's background or this achievement.

But anyway, etiquette is enough.

Get off, Jishou:
"Fu Sheng Wuliang Tianzun, Pindao has met Cui Xiancheng."

Cui Gan had a spring-like smile on his face, and he returned the salute:
"Daoist Shouchu is polite, the banquet is ready...but why don't you see Daoist Sun?"

He asked, but there was no surprise in his eyes.

He had expected this situation.

And Li Zhen also quickly explained, saying that the old grandson cares about the common people here, and has good thoughts, Barabara.

Then Cui Gan "showed regret" and after saying a few polite words, everyone walked into the mansion together.

Go directly to the side hall, and after opening the door, there is a table of banquets.

Not to mention any delicacies from mountains and seas, but it can be considered exquisite and rich, and the etiquette is not bad.

"Master Shouchu, please."

"Don't dare, Cui Xiancheng please."

The three finally had the banquet together, and immediately a maid came over to pour wine.

The wine was full and the banquet was over. Cui Qian stood up:

"The common people in the castella, thank you Taoist Priest Shouchu, Venerable Master Xuanzang, and Priest Sun Simiao, Gao Yi, for saving the people of our county from fire and water. Please drink."

"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, the county magistrate is too polite. Those who cultivate the Tao are compassionate, it's just a matter of duty. Please."

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Cui Wanrong:
"Shopkeeper Cui, please."

"Master, please."

He raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, then Cui Gan greeted:

"Don't be polite, Taoist priest, take your seat quickly. Let's chat while eating."

Li Zhen wasn't actually hungry. The few cakes and a jar of broth in the morning meeting were enough.

But at the moment, they are also symbolically picking up vegetables with chopsticks.

After moving his chopsticks a few times, Cui Gan glanced at his younger sister, saw her nodding slightly, and said with confidence, then said:

"Dare to ask Taoist Priest Shouchu, I don't know... What is the relationship between Taoist Priest and Suning Gaogong?"

"It's the tutor."

"I see. Sure enough, I will tell you that apart from Xuan Junguan, where else is there such a compassionate person..."

Surely the hat must be off.

But Li Zhen did not refute.

Because, the current him, at least half of his identity, represents the concept of Xuan Jun.

So he just shook his head modestly:
"Cui Xiancheng has too much reputation, I just hope that the poor Taoist will not insult the name of the teacher."

Hearing that he indirectly acknowledged the identity of "Xuan Junguan's representative of foreign offices", Cui Gan didn't see any surprise on his face, but he was slightly relieved.

As long as you admit it, it's easy to talk about.

What he is afraid of is that the other party will not admit it, because if they admit it, everyone can talk about how to deal with this matter.

And if you don't admit it... Today's banquet is nothing more than a banquet at best.

Except for giving something to thank, whether it's money or promises, it's all personal.And if it becomes like this, then how to handle the relationship between Cui Shi and Xuan Junguan, on the contrary, Cui Qian needs to guess by himself.

From active to passive.

But it's easy to admit, it's true that Xuan Junguan is admired by people, but the Boling Cui family is also famous all over the world.

I dare not say that the status is equal, but at least it is not bad.

Your ancestor Zhang Liang, my ancestor Jiang Taigong.

To be reasonable, everyone can talk about it.

Then... the next thing to do is to focus on one question.

Xuan Jun Guan... What exactly do you need?
