Chapter 122 A group of idiots
The old Taoist priest knew that the decision made by Sanqing Temple could not be easily changed. He sighed and became even more ruthless. He did not leave until he had spent all his money, carrying a bunch of things.
He had to tell his fellow juniors the news and ask them to buy it quickly.
The reason why the Sanqing Festival is called the Sanqing Festival is, firstly, because it is located on the territory of Sanqing Mountain; and secondly, because the festival was supported by Sanqing Temple from the very beginning.
Although more and more monks and Taoists came later and the products became better and better, it is undeniable that the products of Sanqing Temple are still the best.
The old Taoist priest hid all the things he bought on his body. No one knew how he hid them. There were so many bottles, jars and talismans, but he kept putting them into his sleeves and actually put them all in.
The sleeves are wide and flowing, without any bulk.
Fang Yuan was shocked at the cost of practicing Taoism, the popularity of the elixirs and talismans in Sanqing Temple, and he was also curious about the old Taoist priest's sleeves.
The old Taoist priest put away all the things and said to the Three Pure Ones: "My fellow disciples, please leave some things for my fellow disciples. I will call them over now."
Tao Ji and Xuan Miao agreed together and put away some bottles, jars and talismans in front of him.
The old Taoist priest saw this, felt relieved, and quickly went to find his fellow junior brothers and sisters.
As soon as he left, Tao Ji and Xuan Miao immediately took out the pills and talismans they had just collected and arranged them.
Tao Yanbai picked up a cloth bag and handed it to Tao Ji.
Tao Ji opened it and took out quite a few bottles of medicine and put them on the table, replenishing the scarce stock that had just been sold.
Miaozhen also handed the small cloth bag behind her to Xuanmiao.
Xuanmiao opened it and took out stacks of talismans from it, instantly replenishing the talismans that had just been bought.
Fang Yuan couldn't help but widen his eyes and made a sound in surprise.
Everyone turned their heads to look over, and when they saw him, Tao Ji narrowed his eyes and asked unhappily, "Why are you still here?"
Xuanmiao frowned even more. Even Wang Cong and Pan Yun, who always greeted him with a smile, asked, "What else do you want to buy, fellow Taoist?"
The subtext is, if you don't want to buy, just leave.
"No, there's nothing else to buy..." Fang Yuan stuttered as he left, feeling shocked inside.
Seeing that the world outside the camellia tree was very lively, Pan Yun asked Tao Ji: "Third Brother, don't you want us to go out for a walk and buy some things?"
Tao Ji: "What's so good about their stuff? We can make any kind of elixir or talisman you want. Theirs are not as good as ours."
He paused and said, "It's good to go and have a look around, to broaden your horizons. Only when you see how low their stuff is, you will know how good our Sanqing Temple's stuff is. Besides, some materials are still worth visiting, maybe you can find a bargain."
Pan Yun's eyes lit up, "Picking up bargains! I love picking up bargains the most. Senior brother, what bargains are there?"
"What else can there be? Medicinal herbs, wood, and various raw materials for cultivation. What else can you find here?" Tao Ji said, "If you go to Longhu Mountain, you might find a big bargain."
The old Taoist priest was scolding his fellow disciples, "You still want to pick up bargains, let me tell you, the elixirs and talismans from Sanqing Temple are the biggest bargains at the Sanqing Festival. If I didn't have so little money, I would have bought them all."
His fellow juniors were not convinced. "Big Brother, every year you ask us to buy things from Sanqing Temple, but I see very few people go to buy them. We are the ones who are taken advantage of every year."
The old Taoist priest got angry and asked sullenly, "A sucker? Then tell me, are their elixirs and talismans better than others?"
His junior brother blushed slightly and whispered, "It's good, but it's more expensive than other brands."
"That's right. With the money I spend on one bottle of Purple Gold Pill from his store, I can buy two bottles from other stores."
The old Taoist priest was very disappointed. "You don't even look at Jinyi. One of his Purple Gold Pills is as effective as a bottle of other people's. Besides, other people's pills are not well made. There is a lot of poison left in them. If you eat too much, you will be poisoned. Do you know that?"
"Do you really think that Sanqing Temple has fallen into decline? I tell you, that is the view of mediocre people." The old Taoist priest said, "Mediocre people have a short-sighted vision and think that Sanqing Temple is in decline because of bad luck. But look up and see, do I dare to show disdain to Wang Feiyin?"
"Yu Chengzi from the old Zi Temple, tsk, you think he is powerful and chase after him, but in the eyes of the Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master, in the eyes of those who have achieved great success, Yu Chengzi is not even worthy of carrying Wang Feiyin's shoes."
Seeing the old Taoist priest commenting on the person they admired, the junior brothers and sisters were so angry that their breathing quickened. "How can the eldest brother insult his fellow Taoists like this? This time, we, Fuqing Temple, are the hosts, and our old Zi Temple has helped us a lot, especially Yu Chengzi, who came to help two days in advance." The old Taoist priest rolled his eyes at them impatiently and said directly, "Just decide whether you want to go or not. Anyway, I tell you, the price of elixirs and talismans at Sanqing Temple will increase next year. If you have money now, you should stock up as soon as possible. That's all I have to say. It's up to you whether you want to listen or not."
The youngest junior brother couldn't help but grumble, "They're raising the price. Their products are already the most expensive. If we don't buy any of them, they won't be able to sell them. Won't they have to lower the price?"
The old Taoist priest finally couldn't help it and scolded him: "Why did the master accept such a stupid thing like you? Look at other people's junior brothers and sisters, they all give him face, but I don't expect you to give me face, at least don't be so stupid!"
"Do you know that every time I see you doing something stupid, I really want to push you into the Fen River to rinse your brains out. Did you have shit in your brains when you were born, or did you bring amniotic fluid into your brains when you were born? I have never seen anyone more stupid than you!"
"Okay, I admit you're stupid. Can you please wipe your eyes if you can't use your brain? Look at what others do. Yu Chengzi from the old Zi Temple, Shi Jidao from the Lingji Temple, Xuanyu and Xuanling from the Yuling Temple, Huiyuan and Huishen from the Fuyuan Temple, including me, have always been polite to Wang Feiyin. Can you use your stupid brains to think about why everyone is polite and respectful to him? Is it because he's old?"
The old Taoist priest pointed at his nose with a shaking finger and said, "Am I not older than him, and do I have more wrinkles on my face than him? Who the hell treated me like that? If you can't use your brain, then use your eyes. Do what others do!"
Junior Brother: "But Longhu Mountain doesn't take Sanqing Temple seriously at all. Wang Feiyin wrote a letter personally, and those little disciples said to destroy it. I think Zhang Zifang doesn't take Wang Feiyin seriously either..."
The old Taoist priest calmed down immediately.
His fellow junior brothers and sisters saw that the anger on his face disappeared instantly and he became calm. They were silent for a moment and dared not say a word.
"Speak up," the old Taoist priest said calmly, "Why don't you speak? Come, let me see how stupid you can be."
The fellow students all blushed and were speechless.
The old Taoist priest said calmly, "I never thought that you would believe Zhang Zifang's words. Do you really think that Wang Feiyin's letter was destroyed by a young disciple?"
He sneered and said, "You use Zhang Zifang's attitude as your standard? If you think Zhang Zifang is a big shot, don't you have eyes to see what he is like in front of Xuan Miao?"
"He has to give in to Xuanmiao. Isn't Xuanmiao from Sanqing Temple? Isn't she Wang Feiyin's junior sister?" The old Taoist priest sneered, "How can you think that Wang Feiyin is not as good as his junior sister? Why did you pick Xuanmiao out of Sanqing Temple and discuss it separately?"
The old Taoist priest became more and more excited as he spoke, and the anger on his face reappeared. "Zhang Zifang embarrassed Wang Feiyin in front of everyone. He didn't even look at where we are? This is Yushan County, the territory of Sanqing Mountain! Could it be that the fellow Taoists here would stand by him, an outsider, and turn around to bully Sanqing Temple?"
"He doesn't have a brain, and neither do you. Go out and ask those who have a brain. Apart from his family background in Longhu Mountain, what else does Zhang Zifang have?"
"But Xuanmiao, she is no longer Zhang Li from Mount Longhu, but Xuanmiao from Mount Sanqing! Wang Feiyin, tsk, you know nothing about him, idiots, idiots, all of you are a bunch of idiots!"
His spit was flying everywhere, spraying all over the faces of his fellow junior fellow students.
Although they were still confused, they really didn't dare to provoke the senior brother any further. Their minds were as messy as paste at this moment, and they hurriedly said, "Senior brother, don't be angry, we will go buy it now."
The old Taoist priest covered his chest and waved his hands, "Go away, go away, I am going to be mad at you."
The fellow students ran towards the door.
In order to let his fellow disciples enjoy this benefit alone, the old Taoist priest specially called them to the back of Fuqing Temple, which is the courtyard where they lived, to talk in private, so there was no one there.
No wonder!
Wang Feiyin quietly poked his head out and sighed when he saw that only the old Taoist priest was there.
The old Taoist priest, who was in tears, froze and turned his head suddenly, and his eyes met with Wang Feiyin who popped his head out from behind the bamboo.
Wang Feiyin was not embarrassed at all, but still explained, "Brother Qingyin, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just found them too annoying, so I hid here to rest for a while. Generally speaking, it's so busy up there, so people from your Fuqing Temple shouldn't come here..."
The old Taoist priest was very embarrassed, and he pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Nothing, I know Brother Fei Yin didn't mean it. Sigh, I made a fool of myself. I thought I could avoid being provoked by unfilial descendants if I didn't have my own children, but I didn't expect my master to give me such a group of stupid things."
Wang Feiyin felt very sympathetic towards him, "Yes, so it is better for you to find your own junior brothers and sisters. For example, I recruited all of my master's disciples on his behalf."
The old Taoist priest curled his lips when he heard this, he was not happy. He had a mountain god master, could he have one too?
If his master had been willing to listen to his advice, he wouldn't have accepted so many stupid things.
The old Taoist priest didn't want to open up his scars again, so he changed the subject and said, "Brother Wang, let's go out."
Wang Feiyin didn't want to go, but he had been discovered, and he couldn't continue hiding on the mountain in someone else's backyard, as that would make him look very despicable, so he could only jump off the mountain and follow the old Taoist priest to the front.
