After rebirth, I became a national teacher

The reason why Zhang Jinghong was able to get ahead smoothly in officialdom was not only because of his strong family background, but also because he was very good at scheming.

Once someone is determined to please someone, he will be very flexible.

After explaining this to the two of them, Zhang Jinghong walked towards Huiyun and politely bowed and said:

"Thank you, Master, for healing Jin'er despite past grudges! Please allow me to go in and burn some incense as a token of my respect."

Seeing that he was willing to show goodwill and his attitude was respectful, Huiyun naturally would not refuse.

He moved aside and made a gesture of invitation.

Zhang Jinghong entered the Taoist temple, worshipped all the statues, and offered his top-quality jade pendant in the main hall to show his sincerity.

Then he said to Huiyun:

"Master, your master's medical skills are truly extraordinary. He is truly a living medical genius. I admire him immensely. When I return to the capital, I will definitely spread the word for your master and make him famous throughout the world!"

He had a good idea.

I will be returning to the capital soon, and I will certainly not be able to come here to worship often due to my official position. It is basically impossible for me to catch up and receive better treatment in Cihang Temple than these believers in Southern Capital.

In this case, it would be better to move the Cihang Temple directly to the capital.

With Zhang Jinghong's endorsement, Cihang Temple will surely become famous in the capital soon.

The capital city is really full of dignitaries and nobles, and the benefits are much greater than in the southern capital city. It is not surprising that Cihang Temple is tempted.

By then, their Zhang family will become the number one among the believers in the capital.

How could Huiyun not feel such obvious courtesy?

However, the capital is full of powerful people, and becoming famous also means trouble. The master of the temple has no intention of doing so at the moment.

"Thank you for your kindness, but the abbot does not want too many worldly matters to disturb his meditation. Please do not spread the news of Cihang Temple to outsiders."

Seeing Zhang Jinghong's puzzled expression, Huiyun added:

"What's more, for those who really need help from the master, the fewer people who know the master's reputation, the better. Don't you think so?"

Zhang Jinghong's plan immediately failed.

He never expected that the master of the temple had supernatural powers and could easily obtain worldly fame and fortune, but he didn't take it to heart.

Since she had already made it clear that she didn't want to be disturbed, if he pretended to obey her but actually disobeyed her, the end result would probably be counterproductive.

He wanted to make friends with Cihang Temple, not to create enmity with it.

What the Taoist priest said also made sense. The threshold for seeking medical treatment in Cihang Temple is already high enough. If it becomes famous in the capital, the threshold will probably be even higher as all the powerful people compete with each other.

In this case, it would be better if only the Zhang family knew about it.

I must tell my brother-in-law and nephew about this later.

"I see. I am sorry for being so presumptuous."

As he said this, Zhang Jinghong's thoughts raced rapidly.

His father, Zhang Ge Lao, is getting older. If he falls ill or even dies one day, he will have to mourn for his father, which will be a devastating blow to the entire Zhang family.

Not to mention his father, he himself is already in his forties, and people of similar age are also seriously ill.

The Zhang family is in urgent need of the protection of a master like the abbot of Cihang Temple who can cure all diseases.

If it is impossible to bring Cihang Temple to the capital by making it famous, then we have to find another way.

After thinking for a moment, he had an idea in his mind.

In order to achieve his goal, Zhang Jinghong was very humble:

"To be honest, Taoist priest, I am also impressed by the master of the temple and want to become a devout believer of Cihang Temple. However, the capital is far away from the southern capital, and I have a job to do, so it is not convenient for me to come to worship in person often. I wonder if you can send someone to burn incense and offer sacrifices on your behalf during major festivals?"

Huiyun couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this.

At first glance, Zhang Jinghong's proposal seemed very sincere, but in front of the gods and Buddhas, how could one send servants to act on their behalf?

Isn't this a kind of arrogance?

At this time, the abbot was reuniting with his daughter, so it was inconvenient for him to ask for permission. Moreover, even such a matter required permission, which would only bring down the prestige of the Cihang Temple.

After a little thought, Huiyun made up her mind:

"It is of course most sincere to burn incense and offer sacrifices in person. Since the believers cannot come because of the long distance, it means that they do not have a strong affinity with Cihang Temple. There are many Taoist and Buddhist temples in the world that are effective. You don't have to insist on our Cihang Temple."

Although her tone was humble, her attitude was very high.

Zhang Jinghong: …

There are many Taoist temples with miraculous effects. He considers himself knowledgeable, but he has never seen a Taoist temple as powerful as Cihang Temple!

No matter how popular the Taoist temples or Buddhist temples are, no matter how devout the pilgrims are in burning incense and worshipping Buddha on a daily basis, the disease will still be the same, and if the disease is serious, the patient will still die.

It was obvious that the Taoist priest did not want to accept the offerings sent by his servants and was trying to faze him with empty words.

A Taoist priest who knows guests can be so confident. It shows that Cihang Temple is indeed not something that can be moved by ordinary worldly wealth, fame and fortune.

After making a judgment in his heart, Zhang Jinghong said righteously:

"Master, you are joking. I am now devoted to the Cihang Temple. How can I go to other places to burn incense and make offerings? Master, please wait. I will definitely ask my family to come and make offerings and worship in the future!"

Huiyun did not comment:

"Since the believers insist, then let them do as they please."

Seeing Zhang Jinghong coming out, Pei Jin, who was waiting outside, immediately came forward and looked at him with admiration and pleading on his face:

"Uncle, would you like to ride in the same car with me?"

He was distracted by the words of the master of the Immortal Temple, but he calmed down a little while waiting for Zhang Jinghong and finally found his backbone.

Although he grew up in the love and care of everyone, the serious illness made him grow a lot.

He gradually began to feel who loved him more truly and deeply.

His father had many children, but they actually cared for him far less than his grandparents and uncles.

In addition, his aunt in the palace was becoming more and more favored. Now that he had been cured, his father might not be willing to suspect and punish his now favored stepmother for him.

The only person he can rely on now is his uncle who has always loved him unconditionally.

Zhang Jinghong saw that his nephew was acting like a spoiled child, and he couldn't help but smile lovingly:

"Uncle has something to tell your father. He will meet you in the car later."

Having said that, he got on Pei Xiao's carriage.

Because he was in a hurry to accompany Pei Jin, he got straight to the point as soon as he got in the car:

"Brother-in-law, the abbot of Cihang Temple is indeed an extraordinary person. You must tell your servants to keep silent about what happened today when you return. Otherwise, his reputation will spread to the capital, and he will be respected by more and more dignitaries. It will be even more difficult for you and me to ask for help again."

When Pei Xiao heard this, a gloom suddenly flashed across his deep eyes.

He would never forget the humiliation brought upon him by the frame-up at Cihang Temple.

Such a great hatred could not be wiped out simply by curing his eldest son.

But now, looking at my uncle's words and deeds, he actually has a high regard for the Cihang Temple.

The reason……

These civil servants speak with great righteousness, but in fact, how many of them are not cowards who are afraid of death?

"Okay. Since my uncle specifically asked me to do so, I will do it."

He replied calmly.

This is definitely not because he is afraid of Zhang Jinghong.

Instead, the Cihang Temple will continue to gain fame and be respected by more and more powerful people, which will only make it more difficult for him to take revenge in the future.

The current situation is quite convenient for him.

Seeing that he didn't intend to say more, Zhang Jinghong was worried about his nephew and quickly changed the carriage.
