About an hour and a half later, seven or eight people walked up the mountain.
" Boundless Blessing..." A Daoist name rang out as Xiao Ziyang walked out in Daoist robes.
" Taoist priest…" Hong Zhengde was overjoyed. After taking a deep breath, he stepped forward to greet him.
"You must be tired from climbing the mountain. Let's go in and talk.”After Xiao Ziyang finished speaking, he turned around and walked inside.
"Stop right there, this is Secretary Zhao of Zhu City, how dare you be so rude?”A bespectacled man beside him was unhappy and scolded loudly.
Hong Zhengde's expression changed slightly. He frowned and a trace of anger flashed through his eyes.
However, Xiao Ziyang stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at the bespectacled man." This is a remote place. There are no nobles here. Everyone is equal." It's up to you whether you want to enter or not."
After saying this, he turned around and walked in.
" You…" The bespectacled man had never suffered such a loss before. He was so angry that he wanted to berate him, but he was interrupted by the square-faced man.
"Secretary Lin, let's go in." The square-faced man's expression darkened as he walked towards the Taoist temple. The bespectacled man had no choice but to give up. However, a hint of anger flashed across his eyes.
"Elder Hong, please."
"Please!" Hong Zhengde nodded slightly, but there was a trace of displeasure on his face. How could it escape the square-faced man's eyes?
After entering, Xiao Ziyang sat on a stone stool. He had no intention of getting up after they entered. He sat there drinking tea.
"If you want to burn incense, just go to the main hall.”Xiao Ziyang said lightly and ignored them.
"Little Daoist, call your elders out. Tell them that Secretary Zhao of Zhu City has arrived.”Secretary Lin said arrogantly again. In his opinion, a small Taoist was not giving him face. When his elders came out, he would have to teach them a lesson.
Although he was just a secretary, he was the secretary of the secretary of a city. He was equivalent to the butler of Zhushi. His position was not high, but his status was very high in the dark.
This was just like the eunuchs who served the emperor in ancient times. Their positions were not high, but the civil and military officials did not dare to offend them easily.
There was a saying that it was better to lead the emperor's horse than to be a general on horseback.
"Is that so? Are your elders tigers?”He really didn't believe that there was someone they didn't dare to meet with Secretary Zhao.!!
Xiao Ziyang smiled and pointed to the sky." Do you dare to go up?"”
His meaning couldn't be more obvious. Who would dare to die!! Were those who claimed to be fearless really fearless? Wasn't it all forced? Who wouldn't be afraid when death was at hand?
Secretary Lin's face turned ashen.
The square-faced man looked at Hong Zhengde for help. There was no other way. Although the old man was unhappy, he could only open his mouth to mediate.
"Taoist priest, my name is Zhao Peixing. I came today to ask you to treat my father's illness.”The square-faced man hurriedly stepped forward and said. However, his expression was neither servile nor overbearing, and he had the bearing of a superior.
Xiao Ziyang thought to himself," As expected of a superior. This bearing is indeed impressive." However, so what if he was in a superior position? Now, he was the one who needed his help. Moreover, even if he was a superior, he was only from the secular world. As a cultivator, how could his future achievements be simple? The power in the world was not worth mentioning at all, so how could he care about these things?
This was how he was. If others respected him, he would respect them. On the contrary, don't blame me for not giving you face.
"Secretary Zhao, you're too polite. I'm just a Taoist priest. Although I know some cultivation methods, I'm afraid I can't help much.”
Hearing Xiao Ziyang's words, Zhao Peixing smiled and placed a card on the stone table.
"This is just a little token of my appreciation. Consider it my fee to sponsor the Taoist priest. If the Taoist priest can really cure my father's illness, I'll give you everything I promised.”Zhao Peixing showed his sincerity.
"Alright, everyone go and offer incense. I'll accompany the Taoist priest for a while.”After Zhao Peixing finished speaking, Secretary Lin led everyone to the main hall. This was the leader's order, so they had no choice but to follow it.
"I'll also go and burn incense to thank the gods.”Hong Zhengde also tactfully followed them to the main hall. What followed was naturally the matter of how the two of them discussed.
"Taoist priest, this place is really beautiful. It's really a fairy-like life. I'm very envious.”Zhao Peixing sat down and smiled.
"If Secretary Zhao really wants to have such a life, it's just a matter of a word. Most likely, he doesn't want to.”Xiao Ziyang smiled meaningfully.
"Sigh! It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he couldn't. Although the Taoist priest is young, he has an extraordinary bearing. He must be an expert. Please don't mind Secretary Lin's attitude just now. I apologize to you on his behalf.”Zhao Peixing stood up and bowed to apologize.
It had to be said that Zhao Peixing's eyes were really sharp. He could see people accurately.
Xiao Ziyang was also shocked by his actions. This man was indeed smart.
"Thank you!" Zhao Peixing was overjoyed. After nodding his head, he waited for the few of them to come out and burn incense before setting off for Zhu City.
