Chapter 496 Master

"You're back."

A melodious voice came from the Taoist temple. The voice was light but very penetrating, as if it was floating from the sky, and it was full of fairy spirit.

Hearing the sound, Chen Yang and Tao Xiaotong smiled at each other and walked towards the Taoist temple.

The big yellow dog Cannon followed behind, jumping up and down, wagging his head and tail, as excited as if he had seen a big piece of bone.

Entering the Taoist temple, there are statues of the three Qing Taoist ancestors on the front. They are not painted, but the carvings are very good. The three Taoist ancestors are full of energy and lifelike.

On the offering table, there are apples, roast chicken, bacon and other items.

An old woman in linen clothes held a rag in her hand and wiped the shiny altar table.

"Mom Qin."

Chen Yang and Tao Xiaotong shouted together. Qin's mother, who had her back turned to them, turned around. When she saw the two of them, her face was full of excitement. She pointed inside the Taoist temple, then outside, and did a few After making a gesture, he walked towards the back of the Taoist temple.

She was mute, and the sign language just now said that the master was in the backyard. She was very happy that Chen Yang and Tao Xiaotong were back, and she went to the backyard kitchen to prepare dinner.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mother Qin."

Chen Yang and Chen Yang said in unison.

For Qin Ma, their feelings are still very deep.

After all, they have been with them since they were young. Mother Qin takes care of their daily life and food, and she is very good to them.

At this time, even and steady footsteps came from behind Sanqing Daozu.

There is a door there that connects to the backyard of the Taoist temple.

The backyard is a place for living and eating. When Chen Yang and Tao Xiaotong were at the Taoist temple, they both lived in the backyard.

Of course, when he was a child, Chen Yang was mostly punished by his master, sleeping in the square and keeping company with cannons.

Although Da Pao doesn't want to see Chen Yang, in fact it's just an appearance. The relationship between one person and one dog is still very deep. They have shared weal and woe and are considered comrades-in-arms.

The footsteps in the backyard were getting closer and closer, and an old man wearing a black Taoist robe walked out from behind Sanqing Taoist Patriarch.

This man has a fluttering beard, a whisk in his hand, a ruddy complexion, and long eyebrows hanging down, and he is quite a fairy.

He is the master of Chen Yang and Tao Xiaotong. His name is Li Yiliang and his Taoist name is Xuanjizi.

Chen Yang strongly disagreed with the Taoist moniker Xuanjizi.

Knowing his master very well, he thought that such a cool Taoist title was definitely given to him by the master himself, and wanted to put some money on his face.

"Disciple Chen Yang, pay homage to Master!"

Although he was friendly with his master on the phone, Chen Yang still knelt down and kowtowed formally in front of him for the first time.

In this world, the only person left who can make Chen Yang kneel down willingly is his master.

This is respect from the heart!

Tao Xiaotong also knelt down and saluted: "Disciple Tao Xiaotong, pay homage to Master."

Seeing this, even the yellow dog cannon next to him lowered his head and saluted the master together with Chen Yang.

"Get up."

Li Yiliang stretched out his right hand and lifted it up with a calm and composed attitude.

Chen Yang and Tao Xiaotong stood up. Li Yiliang looked at them and asked Tao Xiaotong, "Xiaotong, what have you gained from this trip?"

"Master Qi, this time I go out to explore, I..."

Tao Xiaotong hesitated for a moment, with an embarrassed expression on his face, and said, "I was lost most of the time, so I didn't gain much. But in the end, I found my senior brother through my own efforts."

"I thought it would take you a year, but I found your senior brother in a little more than half a year. It's already pretty good."

Li Yiliang nodded and praised Tao Xiaotong.

But this sounds very strange. It took half a year to get from Shenfang County to Dayi. There is nothing praiseworthy about this.

But Tao Xiaotong looked happy and greatly encouraged.

Li Yiliang turned to look at Chen Yang again, the care in his eyes disappeared, and there was a look of disgust in his eyes: "You brat, are you willing to come back to visit me?"

"Of course I'm reluctant. I came back this time to ask you a few questions. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come back."

After saluting, Chen Yang returned to his smiling appearance.

Upon hearing what he said, Li Yiliang glared at him: "You can't ask anything on the phone if you have anything to say, and why do you go back to Qingyun Temple? Do you think I want to see you?"

"Since you don't want to, I'll leave first."

Chen Yang shrugged and pretended to leave, making the master so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"Stop!"

Li Yiliang roared.

Cannon rushed forward and bit Chen Yang's trouser leg.

Chen Yang lowered his head and glanced at Cannon, who was dragging his trousers back. He turned back to the master and said, "For Cannon's sake, I'll stay."

Li Yiliang felt depressed for a while, saying that, as a master, I am worse than a dog.

He looked at Tao Xiaotong and pointed to the backyard: "Go help Qin Ma cook."

"Yes, master."

Tao Xiaotong responded respectfully, glanced at Chen Yang, and trotted to the backyard.

Cannon barked and followed Tao Xiaotong.

In the Taoist temple, only Chen Yang and Li Yiliang were left.

The two looked at each other, and the afterglow of the evening sun shone in, elongating their figures and projecting them on the statue of Sanqing.

This scene is very picturesque.

But suddenly, the style of painting changed.

Li Yiliang, who was originally upright and upright, seemed to have softened his body and showed a lazy expression. He took out a gourd from his sleeve, pulled out the stopper, raised his head and took a sip of wine.

He looked like an alcoholic Taoist priest.

"call!"

Li Yiliang took a long breath, pursed his lips, casually sat down on the futon in front of Sanqing, and threw the other futon to Chen Yang: "Sit down, little bastard."

There is no trace of a master in his appearance.

Chen Yang smiled, sat down next to the master, and pointed at the gourd: "Old Li, give me a sip."

"No."

Li Yiliang ruthlessly rejected Chen Yang's request, shook the gourd in his hand proudly, and glanced at Chen Yang disdainfully: "This is the monkey wine I carefully brewed. An ordinary person like you is not qualified to taste it."

Chen Yang did not continue to press, pointed to the backyard and said: "Old Li, you have been pretending to be serious in front of my junior sister all day long, are you tired?"

"What do you mean by pretending to be serious? I'm very serious to begin with, okay?"

Li Yiliang said seriously.

Chen Yang smiled and said: "Then when you were with me, why didn't you act like a master?"

"You said your IQ is so low?"

Li Yiliang looked at Chen Yang with contempt and said seriously: "Being a teacher is called teaching students in accordance with their aptitude."

As he spoke, he changed the topic and said: "Tell me, you, the heartless disciple, are you in trouble when you go up the mountain to find your master this time?"

"If you had to take action, I don't know how much trouble it would be."

Chen Yang smiled and continued: "I am looking for you this time mainly because I have a few questions to ask you."

"Sorry, I don't accept consultation as a teacher."

Li Yiliang waved his hand very proudly, flipped his wrist, hid the wine gourd in his sleeve, stood up and walked towards the backyard.

"Master, look what this is?"

Chen Yang raised a smirk on his lips and took out a few mineral water bottles from his backpack.
