Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 387 The Collapsed Taoist Leader

After coming out of the Imperial Study Room, Gao Ming went directly to the Imperial Garden in the center of the Forbidden Garden.

He had just arrived at the gate of the imperial garden when he saw the old Taoist priest standing at the gate of the courtyard and saluted him.

"His Royal Highness!"

Looking at the old Taoist priest who was saluting to him, Gao Ming also smiled and bowed to him.

"Old Daoist, and if I read correctly, you seemed to have your back turned to me just now, right? You knew I was coming from a long distance away, you are really amazing!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the old Taoist immediately laughed.

"Haha, His Royal Highness is absurd. To be honest, since I practiced the "True Explanation of the Taoist Movement of Qi", I have been in good health for 60 years, and my eyes and ears are sharp. After practicing it, His Royal Highness knows its magic!"

"Oh?"

Hearing what the old Taoist said, Gao Ming quickly took out the old and yellowed book from his arms, his face full of surprise.

"Is it really that powerful? Then I must give it a try!"

Having said that, Gao Ming bowed his hands towards the old Taoist priest.

"In the future, I will trouble the Taoist priest to give you more points, please, Taoist priest!"

Seeing Gao Ming being so unassuming, the old Taoist looked at him a little softer, and bowed back to him.

"His Royal Highness is too polite, Your Highness should invite you first!"

"I respect the old and love the young, it's up to you first!"

"Uh... well, then thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Gao Ming wanted others, so he naturally tried his best to please them. For a while, the atmosphere between the two became extremely harmonious, and then they left the palace talking and laughing.

Soon, the two arrived at Furong Garden. After getting off the carriage, Gao Ming immediately smiled at the old Taoist priest.

"Daozhang, we have arrived, please come in with me, Daozhang!"

"His Royal Highness please!"

According to Gao Ming's idea, first invite the old Taoist priest in for a cup of tea, and then have a meal together, first make the relationship better, and then ask him about the book, so that it is not obtrusive.

After thinking about the steps clearly, Gao Ming brought the old Taoist priest to the stone table in the middle of the yard, and then bowed his hands towards him.

"Daoist, please wait here for a moment, I'll make you a pot of tea and get some pastries by the way!"

In Gao Ming's view, making tea and cakes by himself is more precious than letting others get them. As long as the old Taoist eats the tea and cakes he brought, he is not afraid that he will not teach his true skills.

Just as Gao Ming thought, when he heard that he was going to make tea and serve snacks in person, the old Taoist stood up immediately.

"His Royal Highness, this is really impossible..."

Before he finished speaking, Gao Ming raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Okay, Taoist priest, don't say any more, I'm going to pour tea right now, you wait for me here for a while!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming didn't wait for the old Taoist priest to speak, and left directly.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he ran into Shi Shu and Shi Jian who were coming together. After seeing the two of them, Gao Ming immediately laughed.

"Haha, you guys came just in time, I'm planning to find you guys!"

Listening to the clever words, the two quickly saluted him.

"My servant has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Seeing the respectful expressions of the two, Gao Ming immediately waved his hands towards them.

"Okay, we are all on our own, so don't be polite to me, Shi Shu, go and make me a pot of tea, Shi Jian, go to the kitchen and get me a plate of biscuits, hurry up, I'll wait here you!"

"Yes!"

After receiving Gao Ming's order, the two women acted immediately, and within a short while, they brought all the things.

After taking the tray from their hands, Gao Ming raised his chin towards them again.

"Okay, it's none of your business, let's play!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming went to the old Taoist priest with the brewed tea and cakes under the astonished eyes of the two women.

Soon, Gao Ming came to the stone table in the middle of the yard, but what surprised him was that he didn't see the figure of the old Taoist priest, which made him a little puzzled.

"Where did the Taoist go?"

Just when Gao Ming was puzzled, a burst of roaring and shouting came from not far away.

"Oooooooooo..."

"Damn beast!"

From the voice just now, Gao Ming could easily hear that the former voice was coming from his pet, Ben Ben.

And the voice of the latter is Gaoming and very familiar, that is the old Taoist priest who came with him just now.

After identifying the respective owners of the voices, Gao Ming couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of shock.

Although Benben is only considered a "minor tiger", its size is really not small. In the past, those who saw it were either frightened and howled like ghosts or wolves, or ran around wildly.

What's more, he couldn't even escape, so he was directly frightened and fainted.

In contrast, the old Taoist priest can still shout "Niebu Daer" in the face of Benben, which is really remarkable.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately showed some admiration for the old Taoist priest in his heart.

"You're not even afraid of tigers, the Taoist priest is really a master!"

In order to see the figure of the old Taoist "Fighting the Evil Tiger", Gao Ming quickly put the tray in his hand on the table, and then walked towards the direction of the sound.

Soon, Gao Ming found the figure of the old Taoist priest and Ben Ben. At this time, the old Taoist priest was being pinned to the ground by Ben Ben. Although half of his head was still in Ben Ben's mouth, he was still shouting angrily.

"Damn beast!"

"Uh……"

Well, Gao Ming doesn't know where to start complaining.

Fortunately, Benben had already seen Gao Ming, so he immediately let go of the old Taoist's head, then walked towards Gao Ming, shaking his head and tail.

Seeing this scene, the old Taoist yelled at Gao Ming anxiously.

"His Royal Highness, be careful...the evil beast, if you have the ability to rush to the poor!"

"Uh……"

Looking at the impassioned old Taoist priest, Gao Ming suddenly showed helplessness, and reached out to pat Benben's big hairy head.

"Old Daoist, to be honest, this guy is my pet, it has never hurt others, it's just a little naughty, and..."

Speaking of this, Gao Ming suddenly pointed to the water stains under the old Taoist's feet with some embarrassment.

"That...Old Taoist priest, how about you take a shower first and then change into a pair of pants?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the old Taoist seemed to realize something, felt the wet pants on his body, and his old face suddenly turned red like sunset.

I was actually scared to pee!

And it's still in front of His Royal Highness, it's really embarrassing!
At this moment, the old Taoist's heart was broken, and at this moment he suddenly had an idea of ​​wanting to run away.

"It seems that His Royal Highness didn't recognize me. How about I take this opportunity to run away and avoid him in the future, so no one will know about it!"

Just as the old Taoist plan how to play disappeared, a voice that made him tremble suddenly sounded.

"Huh? Isn't this Daoist Yuan? Why are you here?"

Hearing this voice, the old Taoist immediately gave up again and again.

"No, no, my surname is not Yuan, you have mistaken me!"

It was Su Wan'er who came here. After hearing what the old Taoist said, she immediately laughed.

"Yuan Daochang was joking, how could I recognize the wrong person? You are Yuan Daochang from the Sitianjian. We met last time!"

Daoist Yuan of Si Tianjian?
Hearing Su Wan'er's words, Gao Ming stared at the old Taoist priest with wide eyes, and then slapped his thigh fiercely!
"Oh, I see, you are Yuan Tiangang!"

"Uh……"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, the old Taoist priest's face became stiff.
