Just when Yu Daochun was concentrating in his deep thoughts, he heard a noisy voice from outside the pavilion.

Only the Taoist boy guarding the gate shouted: "Layman, you can't go in."

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, as if they had completely ignored Dao Tong's shout.

After a while, Fang Jifan arrived outside the door.

Yu Daochun was taken aback.

The four eyes met, sparks were almost sparked, and the owner of the opposite eye was Junior Brother Fang, wasn't it?

But seeing Fang Jifan's excited face, his eyes seemed to be shining, and the light almost blinded Yu Daochun's eyes.

Yu Daochun had never even seen it, but the eyes of a young man were so sharp.

So, silence...

Fang Jifan has already walked towards Yu Daochun, excitedly grabbed Yu Daochun's withered hand, and said with emotion: "Senior brother..."

Yu Daochun's brain is about to explode, senior brother...

He...he actually recognized himself as a senior brother...

Just now, isn't he still dismissive and impatient? But now, seeing his younger brother calling him "brother" in an eloquent voice... Inexplicably, Yu Daochun was a little moved.

It has been decades, and the master has disappeared without a trace, and the only thought left in this world is only one younger brother. This kind voice made the eyes of this old, dying old man even redder.

Yu Daochun couldn't help but choked up and said, "Junior brother."

Fang Jifan also said with a slightly moved expression: "Brother..."

"Junior Brother..." Resisting the urge to burst into tears, Yu Daochun said, "Junior Brother, do you want to understand?"

Fang Jifan said conveniently: "Since I went down the mountain, I have thought of the earnest teachings of my master a few years ago in my mind, and I still can't let go of it, so I came up again. Hey... Brother, I was reckless just now, you won't Take it for granted."

"Where is it? Haha..." Pulling Fang Jifan, Yu Daochun was reluctant to let go: "This time, I won't let you go. This matter is considered settled. From now on, you will be my junior brother of the Dao family, When I tell Master Zhang Zhenzhen of Longhu Mountain to give you a talisman, I will ask the Daolu Department to enroll in your Taoism, and from now on, you will be regarded as a Taoist."

Fang Jifan was a little worried. Although everything must be sacrificed, he can't really be a Taoist priest. He couldn't help but said: "Even if I enter the Taoist school, I can't live in a Taoist temple. Brother, I don't know. I am Nan and Bozi , also serving as an official."

"That's it." Yu Daochun felt very relieved in his heart: "Longquan Temple worships Tianshi Zhang, who originated from Zhengyi in the south of the Yangtze River. There has never been any restriction. Going up and down the mountain is all about practicing. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I will ask Tianshi Zhang Confession."

Fang Jifan let out a breath, thought for a while, and couldn't help but said: "I heard that there are still Taoists in the Taoist temple, and they actually took many wives and concubines. This is really outrageous."

Yu Daochun smiled, but took a deep look at Fang Jifan: "If wives and concubines are banned, then Zhang Tianshi's family will also be banned. How can it be inherited for forty-seven generations?"

"Ah..." Fang Jifan's heart became wider, he was afraid that there would not be any self-reliant rules and regulations in Longquan Temple.

At this time, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "So, senior brother also has..."

Yu Daochun said with a stern face: "This is a place outside Fang, don't talk about common things."

really……

Fang Jifan looked like I understood.

In fact, it was quite shameless to think that I ran back with a cheeky face. The old Taoist priest in front of me was actually not bad, but I seemed to be fooling him, more like a despicable villain who wanted to steal the Longquan Temple.

But... such nasty things, if there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be infinity. If it is Fang Jifan in the previous life, I really dare not even think about it. Now I have no psychological burden at all. Hey, who made myself that What about the damned prodigal, can you be a prodigal without a thick skin?

"Brother..."

In fact, Fang Jifan had many doubts in his mind. There are so many lands and industries in Longquan Temple, so he had to figure it out clearly. Of course, he had to make indirect remarks: "Dare to ask, brother, how many Taoists are there in this temple?"

Yu Daochun was in a great mood, and asked Fang Jifan to sit down on the futon, and Fang Jifan imitated him and sat cross-legged.

I only heard Yu Daochun said: "Among the Taoist temples, there are one hundred and thirty-two Taoists who have Taoism certificates. As for those who do not have Taoism certificates, there are more than two hundred, but they are mostly responsible for some chores."

Fang Jifan thought to himself, isn't it just a temporary worker, I understand.

In other words, Taoist priests now have temporary workers. It seems that if ordinary people can become a Taoist priest with a career, ah, no, it is not easy to be a formally qualified Taoist priest.

Fang Jifan then asked: "But I don't know. In this Taoist temple, how many people are of the Taoist generation? And like the master, how many people are of the senior generation?"

Yu Daochun showed a wry smile, and said: "In the senior generation, there is only one person, Master, and he entered Beijing alone. Therefore, there are six people in the Dao generation, including you, who are the disciples of Master, but...they... Hey, everyone has gone except you and my senior brother."

"That's it..." Fang Jifan looked regretful, but secretly pleased in his heart. In this way, isn't it true that in terms of this generation, he is already under one person and above ten thousand?

Yu Daochun said again: "Besides, there are thirty-nine people from Chaozi generation, and the rest are from Tianzi generation."

Fang Jifan came to Yu Daochun's side for a while, and only then did he know the details of the Longquan Temple.

Built by Hongdao in the north, it has a history of 80 years and has gone through two generations.

Master Wei Dayou went down the mountain forty years ago, when he was over eighty years old, and has not been heard from since then. This Longquan temple has been taken care of by Yu Daochun.

It's just that although Yu Daochun is in charge of the Longquan Temple, named as the master of the Longquan Temple, because he is getting older and unable to do what he wants, and he studies the classics every day, the mundane affairs are naturally left to the disciples of the Chaozi generation.

Fang Jifan probably knew it in his heart, and when he thought of the ten thousand hectares of fertile land in Longquan Temple, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Seeing his subconscious smile, Yu Daochun couldn't help comforting him, knowing that he was from the same family, the younger brother must be very happy, he is a person who attaches great importance to emotions.

So he couldn't help being happy, and said: "Junior brother, I will arrange a jingshe for you in the temple. As for when you go down the mountain to practice, I will report it to the imperial court. The imperial court will be especially gracious. As for the Taoist scriptures, I myself Can cook."

Fang Jifan knew that his senior brother was trusted by the Empress Dowager, and this matter was easy to handle, so he hurriedly said, "Thank you, senior brother."

Yu Daochun stroked his beard, hehe said with a smile: "Between seniors, there is no need to be so polite. Speaking of which, I am a year older than you, but this Taoism is far less profound than yours. In the future, I will ask my juniors for advice."

Fang Jifan nodded and said with a smile, "It's easy to say, easy to say."

After dealing with Yu Daochun, Fang Jifan saw Yu Daochun's tired face. In fact, he can understand that Yu Daochun is one year older than himself. How much is one year? Sixty years, at his age, he can be his father's father's father Fang Jifan couldn't help but shudder when he thought that he was actually his younger brother. The fate of life is really unpredictable.

So he got up wisely and said: "Brother, I should say goodbye, and I will come up the mountain again in a few days."

Yu Daochun heaved a sigh of relief, but showed a look of reluctance.

Even Fang Jifan didn't understand why Yu Daochun was so 'enthusiastic' to his younger brother. Perhaps...the ancients valued more affection.

From the conversation just now, Fang Jifan knew that Yu Daochun was originally an orphan, and was taken in by his master, Wei Dayou, who taught him to read and write, taught him to read scriptures, and raised him up. He is also a father. In his heart, Fang Jifan is more like his master's only sustenance in this world.

"I'll see you off." Yu Daochun also stood up.

Fang Jifan waved his hand quickly, he felt guilty, it can be seen how difficult it is to be a bad person, this kind of psychological pressure is generally unbearable.

Fang Jifan said conveniently: "Senior brother, stop by. I will come back in a few days. If I see you off, it will seem unfamiliar."

Yu Daochun nodded in relief, and the two brothers and sisters bid farewell.

After Fang Jifan left the Sanqing Pavilion, he was in a good mood. He went to find some of his disciples. Everyone was a little tired from the long journey. They were sitting together in the corridor of the apse to take a rest.

Tang Yin was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, his brows were deeply furrowed, with an incomprehensible look.

The three of Ouyang Zhi stared blankly at the egrets flying by in the sky.

Wang Shouren was thoughtful, he had been trying to find some clues from the traces of Fang Jifan's weird behavior.

This is just like when he followed Zhu Xi's sage's "investigating things to gain knowledge", he wanted to understand the truth from bamboo, so he observed bamboo for three days and three nights, but found nothing.

But obviously, Fang Jifan is much more interesting than bamboo, there are too many things to be discovered in him.

And Wang Shouren gradually began to figure out a little pattern, um... probably, you can never imagine what this Mr. Fang will do next.

I have to make him sigh, it's really admirable, so unpredictable, isn't it enough to be admirable?

Wang Shouren himself was a weird person, so he naturally had some other thoughts about Fang Jifan, who was even weirder.

After all... It's hard to find such a person in this world.

Naturally, as far as Wang Shouren is concerned, he knows that his 'Ge Fang' is still superficial, and there are still many unknown things about Fang Jifan, but...he is not in a hurry. To him, 'Ge Fang' seems to be a kind of... pleasure.

Compared with these strange people, Xu Jing is much more normal. When he saw Fang Jifan, he immediately trotted to greet his mentor: "Men..."

"Oh." Fang Jifan has no time to compare with him now, because...

"Master, I'm hungry. Is there a vegetarian meal here?"

Xu Jing replied seriously: "There are all kinds of food, and I can't help but eat one dish."

Fang Jifan evoked a smile, and immediately said proudly: "Go, try it."

What about the monthly pass and subscription you lied to me about?
