Chapter 131: Zhang Doumi

"Ruoshui,they come to the Wenshi Taoist Temple, they are our guests. You go down to greet them and show the kindness of the master." Ruoshui pouts her lips in displeasure, she rolls her eyes. Although she is unwilling, she cannot go against Yin Lingzhi's wishes. Yin Lingzhi is born with a approachable and submissive temperament, and there is no reason, Ruoshui cannot go against her.

In no time, Ruoshui brings a group of people to the front of Wenshi Temple. The leading Taoist had a plump head and big ears, a friendly smile, and he wore a bun. His wide sleeves drifted with the morning breeze. Although it was winter, his Taoist robe was unbuttoned and open, revealing his chubby belly. This Taoist is Zhang Doumi, the leader of Southern Taoism. Zhang Doumi stroked his belly with one hand and fanned himself with a fan in the other, looking carefree and happy. His fan still carries the unique scent of the sunflower tree. The man next to him was quite eye-catching, wearing black casual pants, a white standing collar shirt, a dark suit draped over his arm, and a wet necktie. Wearing a ball hat on his head. A man in his thirties, with a handsome and gentle face, deep and divine eyes, and fair skin, exudes the charm of a mature and elegant man. Twenty black clad men stood silently in five rows behind these two people.

Yin Lingzhi approached and clasped her hands on her chest to bow. This was the Taoist's etiquette. Yin Lingzhi asked, "Good morning, Taoist Zhang! My father has been away for over a month and has never returned. Are you here at Wenshi Temple today for any reason?"

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Zhang Doumi chuckled and thought to himself, "Of course I know your father is not here because we bribed Taoist Qiu from Maiji Mountain in Tianshui and asked him to release a message saying that he had news of Yin Xi's handwritten second volume of the Tao Te Ching, which deceived Taoist Wuwei going to Gansu.Only when Taoist Wuwei is not in the Wenshi Temple can I seize the opportunity to steal the first volume of your collected Tao Te Ching."

Zhang Doumi vigorously shook the fan in his hand a few times, He first self deprecatingly said, "I'm too fat, afraid of the heat!" and then said: "Lingzhi, this is really a pity! It seems that I won't see Taoist Wuwei this time. This autumn, I got a millennium old Polygonum multiflorum at Baiyun Taoist Temple in the south, which looks very much like a human. The people in the location of Baiyun Taoist Temple in Jiangxi have a custom that they will do activities to welcome the New Year in winter. People will make preserved meat and ham, as well as worship the River God. I will use this very rare Polygonum multiflorum and a A thousand year old ginseng, made into thirty pills. After taking these pills, although they may not make people immortal, they still have good effects in prolonging life. So I rushed to give these pills to Taoist Wuwei as a gift to remove the old and welcome the new before the arrival of the new year."

After Zhang Doumi finished speaking, he waved his hand. A man in black walked over behind him, holding a delicate rosewood box in both hands.

After expressing gratitude, Yin Lingzhi took the wooden box with both hands and handed it to Ruoshui to hold. Ruoshui couldn't help but pout and say, "This thing is very valuable in the secular world, but we are Taoists. We believe that the most valuable are the black and gold energy that forms life. What do we need these secular medicinal herbs for?" Yin Lingzhi furrowed her eyebrows which like willow leaves and whispered, "Ruoshui, if you are so impolite again, I will punish you to copy scriptures!"
