Chapter 64: Donglai Taoist Priest

Moreover, according to the regulations of Louguantai, any high-ranking official or dignitary who wants to meet the leader of Louguantai, Donglai Taoist, must first pay fifty silver coins. And after paying the money, They met with Taoist Dong Lai, and they couldn't talk to him because he always smiled without speaking. It is said that he deeply understood the words of the Taoist Ancestor."Those who know do not speak, and those who speak do not know the truth'. It is said that Taoist Dong Lai has not said a word for thirty years now.

Of course, it is said that many military and political figures, business tycoons, and knowledgeable individuals have also grasped profound truths from the smile on his face.

“Donglai Taoist, I know you haven't spoken for many years, and I pay tribute to your cultivation. But you should always have a voice for my advice. If it's inconvenient for you to speak, please write down your opinion with a pen.”

Donglai Taoist slowly narrowed his eyes, his mouth and eyes filled with a smile, but suddenly spoke up and said, "Mr. Shen, what did you learn from my drinking tea and shaking fan?"

Shen Ziyu was stunned and sneered, "Aren't you practicing the Silent Sutra? It's rumored that Donglai Taoist, who hasn't said a word in the past thirty years, has spoken now? I'm really lucky!"

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

Donglai Taoist Priest blinked and explained, "For the past thirty years, I have been practicing the Silent Sutra for half an hour every day. Didn't I have been practicing it for half an hour just now？”

Shen Ziyu ignored his sophistry and instead went straight to the topic, saying, "May I ask what your thoughts are on my proposal？"

Donglai Taoist slowly stood up from Futuan, shaking his luxurious Taoist robe and boasting, "I am the leader of all the Taoists in the Louguantai. I wear expensive silk and eat exquisite food. So it is difficult to bribe me with money."

Shen Ziyu was speechless for a moment, and she had the urge to pick up the censer and hit it in his face. Since this Taoist seems wealthy, does he imply the need for women?

"Mr. Shen, you haven't answered my question yet. I was just drinking tea and shaking the fan, what did that remind you of？"

Shen Ziyu glanced at him and couldn't help but think of the fat statue of Maitreya Buddha in the temple. She shook her head and forcefully removed the idea from her mind, then said faintly, "You have been a Taoist here for decades. You are very wise. You want to tell me that Taoism is the spirit of pursuing freedom and happiness."

“Mr. Shen,you didn't tell me the truth·”

"Do you think I am someone who does things according to my own ideas, rather than the person who Taoism hopes to do things in the direction of their own development? Are you implying to me that things should be done naturally？"

"Mr. Shen, your words are insincere·"

"Do you think the money I gave you was too small and you don't want to accept it?"

Donglai Taoist smiled and said, 'What you were thinking about just now was not what you are saying.'

Shen Ziyu finally lost her patience. She quickly stood up from the Putuan and said, "I don't see you as a practicing Taoist, but rather as a cunning businessman or a rogue who eats, drinks, whores, and gambles. What I just realized was that you are a completely undisguised scumbag."

Donglai Taoist burst into laughter and said, "Your words are sincere! That's what you thought when you saw me just now. Mr. Shen, please don't leave in a hurry. I agree to your proposal."
