Chapter 730: The proverbs between the bosses

After Zhao Yun and his family finished their meal with his wife, his wife touched her stomach and said, "I'm so full! Let's go, Zhao Yun, take a walk with me!"

"Okay ma'am!"

Zhao Yun accompanied his wife to the river, where they watched the stream flowing and the fields full of lush green corn.

"Rural life is so wonderful. Look at your home. Whenever you go home, there is a large group of people gathered around for dinner. How cozy!"

Zhao Yun recalled the time a few years ago when his family was not doing well, and said with emotion, "Only when you have money to fill your stomach can you feel comfortable, otherwise it will just be desolate."

The lady looked at Zhao Yun and said thoughtfully, "That makes sense! Let's go to the mountain and take a look!"

Zhao Yun and his wife climbed up along the winding path in the mountains.

The mountain road was rugged and difficult to travel on, but along the way Zhao Yun held his wife's hand tightly, making her feel safe and warm.

Finally, they arrived at a renovated small temple. Entering the temple, the first thing that caught their eyes was the offerings in the front hall.

Zhao Yun introduced to his wife which gods were enshrined there. When she heard Zhao Yun say that the gods enshrined there were Manjusri Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, his wife couldn't help but be a little surprised, "This Taoist priest is really different from ordinary people. He actually practices in a Buddhist temple."

The lady took out the incense from her backpack, lit it, and worshiped the gods respectfully with a pious heart.

Then, they inserted the incense into the incense burner, walked out of the front hall and came to the wing room at the back.

After entering the wing room, Zhao Yun shouted inside: "Master Dao!" "Master Dao!" The voice resounded throughout the room. However, Master Dao was taking a nap and was woken up by Zhao Yun's shouting. He felt very unhappy and turned over while cursing and continued to sleep soundly.

Zhao Yun saw this and shook his head helplessly. Then he carefully took his wife to the reception room and asked her to sit down. He then turned around and walked to a cabinet, opened the door, and began to search. After a while, he found a bag of fine tea, which was a treasure that the Taoist had kept for a long time.

Zhao Yun picked up the bag of tea, secretly glad that he had such a good thing to entertain guests. He remembered that this tea was given to him by Li Changqing before, and the Taoist priest had been reluctant to drink it, but he didn't expect it to come in handy today.

Zhao Yun brought tea leaves to the reception room, made a cup of hot tea and handed it to his wife, saying with a smile: "Madam, please drink some tea first. I will go ask the Taoist priest." After that, he turned and left, leaving his wife waiting in the reception room.

Zhao Yun gently pushed open the door and walked into the Taoist priest's room, and saw the Taoist priest lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. He walked to the bed, reached out and patted the Taoist priest's shoulder, and called softly: "Master, wake up, someone is coming."

The Taoist priest turned over and muttered, "Um... Who is it? Disturbing my sleep..." and then continued to sleep soundly.

Zhao Yun sighed helplessly and raised his voice, "Master Dao, someone is really coming, you should get up quickly."

The Taoist priest still didn't respond and even started snoring. Zhao Yun had no choice but to slap the Taoist priest's face and shouted, "Master Taoist, don't sleep anymore, someone is coming!"

The Taoist priest was finally woken up. He rubbed his eyes and said impatiently: "Oh, I know, I know. Why are you yelling? It's so noisy!" After that, he closed his eyes again and prepared to go back to sleep.

Zhao Yun said anxiously: "Master, the person coming this time is different, it's my wife."

When the Taoist heard this, he didn't even open his eyes and said nonchalantly: "Tsk, what's wrong with the madam? She also came to ask me for help. Let's talk after I have rested well."

Zhao Yun said anxiously: "Master Taoist, please get up quickly. My lady has other things to deal with and will leave soon." When the Taoist heard this, he still did not respond. Zhao Yun had no choice but to reach out and pull him up from the bed.

The Taoist priest stood up reluctantly and began to adjust her makeup and clothes, her movements slow and graceful.

Zhao Yun knew the Taoist's nature and warned him, "Be careful with your words later, don't use dirty words!"

He walked towards the reception room leisurely. When he saw his wife, a smile appeared on his face and he said softly, "Excuse me for waiting!"

Seeing the Taoist priest looking like a master, the lady also stood up with respect, bowed and said, "Sorry to bother you with your rest!"

"No problem! Please take a seat, ma'am!"

After sitting down, the lady asked softly: "Master, you are a master of Taoism, why did you choose such a remote and quiet place as your place of practice?" Her eyes revealed curiosity and awe, and she seemed to be full of doubts about the Taoist's choice.

"Haha, what an accomplished person. I came here because I felt that this place had a connection with me, and the villagers also helped me out from time to time."

Madam pointed to the tea cake she took out of her bag on the table and said, "This is Wuyi Mountain rock tea. My husband's family has lived there for many years and is used to the taste. I'll let the Taoist priest have a taste."

"Okay! Thank you, ma'am!"

The Taoist priest looked at the lady carefully and said softly, "Madam, you are a distinguished guest and have many things to do. If you have anything to say, you may as well speak directly."

"These are all mundane matters. I just happened to pass by and saw the uniqueness of this small temple, so I came to visit it and help you solve your doubts."

The Taoist priest was very thoughtful. He looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Zhao Yun, go outside and take a look at the incense."

Zhao Yun knew that there were some things he couldn't listen to, so he quickly said, "I haven't been back for a long time. I'll go to the front hall to burn some incense. Madam, you and the Taoist priest can chat."

After seeing Zhao Yun leave, the Taoist priest said, "Madam, please speak!"

"May I ask what the future holds for my husband's family?"

"No retreat, no advance!"

The lady was delighted after hearing this. If she did not retreat or advance, she would remain in her current position.

"Haha! I think the Taoist priest is also a hidden dragon in the abyss, quite like Tao Yuanming."

"There is no such thing as idle personnel!"

"Master, is there anything hidden in this place for you, a master?"

"This place is destined for me!"

"Well! Then can you let the Taoist leave a calligraphy for my husband's family?"

The Taoist priest shook his head and said, "How dare I, a free-spirited person like me, talk about bestowing gifts! Let me say a few words to you, madam, just treat them as my casual remarks."

The lady nodded, "Master, please speak!"

"Put people first, respect life!"

"Master, your teachings are all true and wise words!" The lady stood up and bowed to the Taoist priest.

"Madam is here, I will show you around here."

"Haha, that's exactly what I wanted!"

The Taoist priest brought his wife to the century-old cypress tree, and they looked at the people’s lives and work in the village.

"The people in the village live a very quiet and peaceful life!"

The Taoist priest said honestly, "This is all because you have provided shelter for the people."

Looking at the vigorous and tall pine and cypress trees, Mrs. couldn't help but sigh, "This cypress tree has protected this village for so many years. I hope it can stay so green forever. Can you, Taoist priest?" The lady asked with a more emphasized tone.

The Taoist priest stroked his beard and said, "Yes!"

"Really?"

"A hundred years are approaching!"

Upon hearing this, the lady was overjoyed. She didn't expect the Taoist priest to give such a straightforward answer. "Thank you, Taoist priest!"

"You're welcome! I'm just telling the truth!"

The lady looked behind the temple and said to herself, "This small temple and this mountain are blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. We should renovate it!"

The Taoist priest smiled and said nothing.

"Master, I'm sorry to bother you today. I will visit you again next day." The lady said goodbye.

"Madam, here is a bracelet of mine, which was obtained from the root of this ancient cypress. It has the meaning of meditation. It can be considered as my return gift to you this time!" After saying this, the Taoist priest took the bracelet off his wrist and handed it to the lady.

The lady was shocked when she heard this. She knew very well what it meant to have a return gift. It meant that the cause and effect had been resolved. "Master, isn't this too valuable? After all, it's something you carry with you!"

The Taoist priest simply answered the question irrelevantly, "Zhao Yun is my disciple!"
