Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 67 Excuses
Not to mention Gaoyi's unparalleled disaster, when Wang Daoqiu, Yin Zhengmao, Zhang Juzheng, Yuan Hongyu, and Fatty arrived at Baiyun Temple in a carriage, there was already a Taoist priest waiting for him at the door. After all, this was what everyone had agreed to yesterday. Understand.

As soon as Wang Daoqiu got off the carriage, the Taoist priest came up to him, bowed respectfully, and said, "Fellow Taoist, please come. Master has sent a Taoist priest here to greet you. Master has been waiting for you in the alchemy room early in the morning. "

"Okay, I'll go right now."

After replying to the Taoist priest, Wang Daoqiu turned to Yin Zhengmao and said: "Brothers, I have something to do with the temple. You can go and burn incense yourself. Let's meet at the gate of the backyard of Baiyun Temple at noon. What do you think, brothers? .”

"Brother Liangzhen, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it! But remember, you promised that you would treat us to a famous dish today!"

"Yes, yes, you can't run away when Liangzhen arrives. Hahahaha!"

"It's okay, it's okay. The monk can run away, but he can't run away from the temple. If he dares to break his promise today, we will deal with him when he goes back."

"Second, I second."

...............

After staying at home for more than half a month, Yin Zhengmao and the others were exhausted. Today they were able to come out for some air and relax. They were very happy, and they were in the mood to tease Wang Daoqiu.

Everyone was happy and the atmosphere was very good. Wang Daoqiu was also happy, so he patted his chest and coaxedly promised: "Brothers, don't worry, if I can't earn a table of famous dishes in Baiyun Temple today, then what about Beijing City?" Restaurants and restaurants, brothers can go wherever they want, I'll invite you, little brother."

"good"

"Brother Liangzhen, we are waiting for your famous dishes!"

…………

After they finished talking and laughing, Wang Daoqiu, Yin Zhengmao and the others separated and followed the Taoist priest to the alchemy room of Baiyunguan.

When he arrived at the alchemy room, Tao Zhongwen was waiting for him there with three middle-aged Taoist priests.When he saw Wang Daoqiu coming, Tao Zhongwen waved his hand first and asked the Taoist priest who brought Wang Daoqiu to leave.

Then he saluted Wang Daoqiu and said, "My little friend has indeed kept his promise. I am very grateful."

Although Tao Zhongwen was old and was a national master, he was still so humble and polite to a junior like Wang Daoqiu. This made Wang Daoqiu a little panicked. He hurriedly returned the courtesy to Tao Zhongwen and pointed at the three middle-aged Taoist priests. Said: "It should, it should. By the way, Master Immortal, do you want me to teach these three Taoist friends the method of making alkali?"

"Yes, yes! To tell you the truth, these three Taoist brothers, although the eldest among them is 20 years younger than Pindao, in terms of seniority, they are Pindao's senior brothers. To put it bluntly, they We were all orphans adopted by our ancestor Shao Yuanjie. We have practiced Taoism and alchemy with our ancestor since childhood, and started practicing Taoism much earlier than Pindao."

After saying this to Wang Daoqiu, Tao Zhongwen began to introduce the three middle-aged Taoist priests to Wang Daoqiu one by one.It turned out that these three middle-aged Taoist priests were called Lin Gang, Hong Junjie, and Zhang Liangwei. They were all orphans adopted by Shao Yuanjie who went to the disaster area to practice medicine in the flood and drought disaster in his hometown.

Since they entered the Taoist sect, they followed Shao Yuanjie to learn Taoism and alchemy.After Shao Yuanjie's death, they helped Tao Zhongwen make elixirs for Emperor Jiajing.Everyone has more than 30 years of experience in the industry and can be said to be the top "chemist" in Taoism now.

Knowing that these three were professionals with more than 30 years of experience, Wang Daoqiu hurriedly approached them.Of course, when dealing with this kind of "science and engineering" straight man, the cultured person's behavior is not acceptable.After all, if these three people understand the world, how could they be robbed of their successor position by Tao Zhongwen, their junior brother?
Later experience, when getting along with straight men in science and engineering, as long as you compete with them on professional knowledge and make them feel that you know more than them, then they will become your lapdog.

So Wang Daoqiu, who knew how to conquer these three guys, didn't talk nonsense to them, and just started doing scientific experiments.He also used the vocabulary of this era while doing it, and Xuan Huhu explained the principles of those chemical reactions. Anyway, it was just a lie, making people think that he was very powerful.

After Wang Daoqiu taught him on the spot, the three guys started doing it themselves.Seeing the seriousness of those three people, Wang Daoqiu was very happy. They were just like the old-school scientists of future generations!With top talents, there is something going on in the world!
Looking at the three "scientists" wearing Taoist robes, Wang Daoqiu was full of confidence in the future of our nation.And just when he was swaying, Tao Zhongwen came over and said like a wise man: "Little friend, let the three of them figure out what's going on here slowly! It's really troublesome, little friend. Now, little friend, Follow Pindao and go to the front to drink tea!"

What?Drink tea!Such three great treasures are placed here, and the relationship has not been developed yet!If you just leave like this, how can you deserve to travel back in time? It will be struck by lightning!
So I made up my mind to conquer three professionals today, Wang Daoqiu, who will contribute to the rejuvenation of the Han nationality.He pretended to be sincere and said: "Junior, I have nothing to do today, so I'd better stay here and see if the alkali prepared by the three Tao brothers can burn qualified sulfur glass!"

"Oh, that's it!" Wang Daoqiu said that he would stay here and wait until he sees the final result before leaving. This shows his dedication and sincerity in passing on this alkali-making method to them at Baiyun Temple.

Of course, Tao Zhongwen couldn't say anything about this.However, Tao Zhongwen had to accompany Emperor Jiajing to practice Taoism, and he also had to lead Taoist sects all over the world. There were many things going on in this day, and he didn't have time to wait here for four hours for the glass of water to be boiled out.

But he left like this, and it seemed that he was not very polite to Wang Daoqiu, a guest.So Tao Zhongwen didn't leave now, nor did he stay, and he unconsciously put on a embarrassed expression on his face.

Seeing Tao Zhongwen's expression, Wang Daoqiu also guessed something, so he smiled and said: "If Master Immortal is busy, there is no need to stay here with the junior. Let the junior and the three Taoist brothers make the glass here ourselves." Okay. But Immortal Master, I brought a few friends to Baiyun Temple today. I made an appointment with my friends at noon to meet at the entrance of the backyard of Baiyun Temple. I am thick-skinned, I wonder if I can do it for you. My friends asked the immortal master for a table of Taoist specialties."

"Hahahaha, you are so polite! You have helped our Baiyun Temple so much. What does a table of special dishes mean? My friend, I will go to the kitchen now and have another Tai Chi banquet like yesterday at noon. .So, I wonder if my little friend is satisfied?”

"Satisfied, thank you very much, Master Immortal. By the way, Master Immortal, I have something else I would like to ask Master Immortal for help with."

"My little friend, I still have something to do. I don't know what it is? My little friend, I just say it doesn't matter."

"Well, he is such an immortal master. This junior is very interested in cultivating Taoism and refining alchemy. I want to become a disciple of the immortal master and learn from him how to cultivate Taoism and refine alchemy. I wonder if I have this opportunity?"

"Impossible, my little friend is the disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun. How can I be so poor, dare to sit on an equal footing with Tianzun? My little friend is lying."

A disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun!This was what Wang Daoqiu used to fool Emperor Jiajing yesterday. He had forgotten about it just now.Since I, as a disciple of Tianzun, cannot become a disciple of Tao Zhongwen, I have to put this matter in another way.Otherwise, every time I go out in the future, I will have to make up lies to Yin Zhengmao and the others, which will be too tiring.

Looking for an excuse to practice Taoism, to find a cover for being away from home all day long, this is also the reason why Wang Daoqiu encouraged Yin Zhengmao and the others to come to Baiyun Temple with him today.Now since Tao Zhongwen can't really admit him, let's make a fake one!

Wanting to understand this, Wang Daoqiu told Tao Zhongwen the truth.After listening to Wang Daoqiu's words, Tao Zhongwen understood that Wang Daoqiu brought a few of his friends to Baiyun Temple today because he wanted to have a reasonable reason to go out in the future and not be "concerned" by his friends!
Knowing this, Tao Zhongwen smiled, and then said: "Pindao knows about this. At noon, Pindao will have dinner with Xiaoyou and Xiaoyou's friends. During the dinner, Tandao will eat in front of Xiaoyou and his friends. In front of you, I praise you for your deep connection with immortality and wisdom, and invite you to come and sit at my White Cloud Temple often."

"Okay, okay, then I'll trouble the Immortal Master."

"No trouble, no trouble, just a little effort."
