Chapter 496 Master

"You're back."

A melodious voice came from the Taoist temple. The voice was light but penetrating, as if it came from the horizon, revealing a bit of fairy spirit.

Upon hearing the voice, Chen Yang and Tao Xiaotong smiled at each other and walked towards the Taoist temple.

The big yellow dog Da Pao followed behind, jumping around, shaking his head and wagging his tail, as excited as if he had seen a large piece of bone.

After entering the Taoist temple, there were statues of the Three Pure Ones in front of them. They were not painted, but the carvings were very good. The three Taoist ancestors were full of spirits and lifelike.

On the altar, there were apples, roast chicken, bacon and other items.

An old woman in linen clothes, holding a rag in her hand, wiped the already shiny altar.

"Qin Ma."

Chen Yang and Tao Xiaotong called out together. Qin Ma, who had her back to them, turned around and saw the two of them. Her face was full of excitement. She pointed inside the Taoist temple, then pointed outside, made a few gestures, and then 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, and 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, Qin Ma."

Chen Yang and the others said in unison.

They still had deep feelings for Qin Ma.

After all, they had been living with her since childhood, and Qin Ma took care of their daily life and diet, and she was very good to them.

At this time, even and steady footsteps came from behind the Three Pure Ones.

There was a door connecting to the backyard of the Taoist temple.

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

Of course, when he was young, Chen Yang was more often punished by his master, sleeping in the square, and keeping company with Da Pao.

Although Da Pao didn't like Chen Yang, it was just an appearance. The relationship between one person and one dog was still very deep, and they had shared hardships and were considered comrades-in-arms.

The footsteps in the backyard were getting closer and closer, and an old man in a black Taoist robe walked out from behind the Three Pure Ones.

This man has a long flowing beard, a whisk in his hand, a ruddy complexion, long eyebrows hanging down, and a bit of immortality.

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

Chen Yang disagrees with the Taoist name Xuanjizi.

He knows his master very well, and thinks that such a cool Taoist name must be given to him by his master himself, who wants to flatter himself.

"Disciple Chen Yang, hello to the master!"

Although he was not stingy with the master on the phone, when he really met the master, this first time, Chen Yang still knelt down and kowtowed to pay his respects.

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

This is respect from the heart!

Tao Xiaotong also knelt down and saluted: "Disciple Tao Xiaotong, hello to the master."

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

"Get up."

Li Yiliang stretched out his right hand and raised it up, with a calm and composed momentum.

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

"Master, I..."

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

"I thought it would take you a year, but you found your senior brother in more than half a year, which is already very good."

Li Yiliang nodded and praised Tao Xiaotong.

But this sounded very strange. It took a full half a year to get from Shenfang County to Dayi. What is there to praise?

But Tao Xiaotong was delighted and greatly encouraged.

Li Yiliang turned to look at Chen Yang again, the care in his eyes disappeared, and a look of disdain appeared in his eyes: "Stinky boy, are you willing to come back to visit me?"

"Of course I'm not willing to, I came back this time to ask you a few questions. Otherwise, I won't come back."

After the greeting, Chen Yang returned to his smiling appearance.

When he heard what he said, Li Yiliang glared at him: "What can't you ask on the phone, and you ran 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 made a gesture to leave, which made the master angry.

"Stop!"

Li Yiliang roared.

Da Pao rushed up and bit Chen Yang's trouser leg.

Chen Yang looked down at Da Pao who was pulling his trouser leg back, and turned back to the master and said: "For Da Pao's sake, I will stay."

Li Yiliang was depressed for a while. In this way, I, the master, am not even as good as a dog.

He looked at Tao Xiaotong and pointed to the backyard: "Go help Aunt Qin 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 setting sun sprinkled in, stretching their figures and projecting them on the statues of the Three Pure Ones.

This scene was very vivid.

But suddenly, the style of the painting changed.

Li Yiliang, who was originally a fairy and upright, seemed to have softened his body, showing a lazy expression, took out a gourd from his sleeve, uncorked it, and raised his head to drink a sip of wine.

He looked like an alcoholic Taoist priest.

"Huh!"

Li Yiliang let out a long breath, pursed his lips, and sat casually on the futon in front of Sanqing, throwing another futon to Chen Yang: "Little bastard, sit down."

He didn't look like a master at all.

Chen Yang smiled and sat next to the master, pointing to 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 with disdain: "This is the monkey wine I carefully brewed. You are an ordinary person, you are not qualified to taste it."

Chen Yang did not continue to force it, pointed to the backyard, and said: "Old Li, you pretend to be serious in front of the little sister all day long, are you tired?"

"What do you mean by pretending to be serious? I am serious anyway."

Li Yiliang said seriously.

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Then why don't you look like a master when you are with me?"

"How come your IQ is so low?"

Li Yiliang looked at Chen Yang with contempt and said seriously, "This is called teaching students in accordance with their aptitude."

He then changed the subject and said, "Tell me, you unscrupulous disciple, did you encounter any trouble when you came to the mountain to find me this time?"

"If you were to help, I don't know how big the trouble would be."

Chen Yang smiled and continued, "I came to you this time mainly because I have a few questions to ask you."

"Sorry, I don't accept consultations."

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

"Master, look at what this is?"

Chen Yang smiled wickedly and took out a few mineral water bottles from his backpack.
