My Taoist Temple is trending again

After winning the "Major Contribution Award for the Protection of Traditional Culture", Xu Qingmu successively won the "Zhicheng Tourism Special Contribution Award", "Taoist Culture Excellent Publicity Award", "Youth Rich Leader Award" and other awards, with a total of [-] yuan in bonuses , The money is not much, but the red pennant on the entire wall is a symbol of honor.

Netizens are becoming more and more interested in Xu Qingmu. He can dance swords in the bamboo forest with fairy spirit, slap people with his teeth and claws, sing rock and roll in Taoist robes, and always bring a series of mysterious events wherever he goes. .But now, he can still accept all kinds of official praises in such a down-to-earth manner, and he is so rooted and popular.

This person set is too rich, much more interesting than those marketing traffic without any business capabilities.

Therefore, Xu Qingmu naturally has a large number of fans, but he is not a star and does not need to maintain fans, so he did not suffer too much trouble.

However, because the recent series of awards are too popular, the official sent an invitation to Xu Qingmu for this year's "Taoism International Exchange Conference".

The "Taoism International Exchange Conference" and "Buddhist International Exchange Conference" are activities jointly organized by the Provincial Department of Ethnic and Religious Affairs and relevant departments, and they are held every year.These two activities will select monasteries and Taoist temples respectively, organize groups to go abroad for exchange performances, and showcase Chinese religious music, martial arts and other arts.

In the past many years, due to the decline of the Taoist sect, the Taoist exchange meeting was very deserted, and almost no one knew about it. Now that Xu Qingmu and Lingyun Temple are on fire, Xu Qingmu is the first choice for this event.

Wang San, who was promoted to become section chief, went up the mountain to invite Xu Qingmu, thinking that Xu Qingmu would not agree, but who knew that Xu Qingmu agreed without saying a word when he heard that he could travel at public expense, and planned to bring Quanguan together Three of the wool go out to play.

So Wang San received the list of group members as follows: 15 people, 2 ghosts, and 1 fox.

Wang San thought it was a bit funny, but the relevant departments still approved it. After all, they all knew how powerful Xu Qingmu was. If there was a big case in the future, they would still count on Xu Qingmu to help.

Therefore, Lingyun Temple announced that it would be closed for half a month with a notice. After everything was ready, all members of Lingyun Temple and the staff of relevant departments set off to the other side of the ocean.

For Xu Qingmu, there were many firsts.It was the first time to fly, the first time to go abroad, and the first time to leave his psychological safety zone.

But he didn't feel uneasy at all, because Song Jue was by his side, and the ten-hour flight didn't seem to be irritating at all. After landing, facing a completely unfamiliar language and environment, he didn't feel uncomfortable. A lot of freshness.

The person in charge of the exchange meeting in the United States waited early to pick up the plane, took Xu Qingmu and his party to the hotel, had a rest overnight, and the person in charge took them to the performance venue the next day.

The performance venue is set on Theater Street.There are many theaters on Theater Street, and there are various performances and dramas from time to time.This time, they chose a good theater for their exchange meeting, which has two floors and can accommodate a thousand spectators to watch the performance.

Xu Qingmu looked up and down the theater, and said: "This theater is beautifully built, but it's a bit small. There are only [-] seats, which is not enough."

Song Jue translated his words to the person in charge. After listening to the person in charge, the person in charge said very politely to Xu Qingmu in English: "It should be enough, if not enough. We can also set up [-] standing seats on the second floor."

Before translating, Xu Qingmu understood the meaning of the person in charge from his facial expression—their performance was not very popular.

Of course, this is also understandable. After all, this is a foreign country and people have their own beliefs. This is just an exchange event, and most of the tickets are given to the staff of universities or government agencies.There are also channels for selling tickets. It is estimated that only some locals who do research or love Chinese culture will buy them.

But Xu Qingmu still said leisurely: "There are three performances in total. I'm really thankful for the audience who came to the first performance, because the ticket prices for the next two performances will increase."

After listening to Song Jue's translation, the person in charge showed an indescribable expression on his face, but finally smiled politely and continued to introduce the theater and performance arrangements to Xu Qingmu.

After simply getting familiar with the venue and rehearsal, a group of people have nothing to do.

The person in charge reappeared, gave Xu Qingmu a stack of tickets, and said, "This is the ticket for the boxing ring next door. It was given by the city government here. Tonight is the top five of the amateur mixed martial arts competition. If you are interested , you can go and have a look. But don’t take children with you, I’m afraid it’s too bloody.”

Xu Qingmu took the ticket and saw two muscular and bearded men wearing boxing gloves confronting each other on the ticket.

The person in charge had other work to do, and without explaining to them, Song Jue searched online.

Although the name is called an amateur competition, the players are actually trained systematically, not losing to professional players.The name Amateur is deliberately named because compared to professional competitions, the rules are more open, fewer restrictions, and more exciting. It is a gray area between regular fighting games and black boxing games, so it is very attractive.

And last year's middleweight boxing champion also entered the finals this year, and is currently the most concerned player.There is no other reason, this person is handsome and is a rich second generation, but he is unwilling to inherit the family property and wants to pursue his dream and fight.

It just so happened that the time of this match coincided with Xu Qingmu's performance time, and they were both on the same street. The championship match of the rich second-generation boxer was three days later when Lingyun Guan's last performance.

No wonder the person in charge is so sure that the tickets for their performance will not be sold.Not to mention this street, it is estimated that the whole country is looking forward to this fighting match now, who would watch a foreign cultural performance.

The little Taoist priests were a little annoyed after hearing this, and they didn't want to get tickets for the fighting match.

He Xingchu said: "I've seen this kind of fighting on the Internet, and the fighting is not at all aesthetic, what's so interesting about it."

Others also echoed: "Yeah, I don't want this ticket, tear it up."

Song Jue took the ticket and said, "You don't need to tear it up, since this competition is so popular, this ticket should be quite valuable, why don't you take it out and sell it."

Crowd: ...

Xu Qingmu thought it was funny, and said: "Mr. Song, you are such a freshman boss, you usually spend money like running water, and you don't even bat an eye on buying a watch for millions. You still want to earn this little money?"

Song Jue said seriously, "Otherwise, where do you think so much money came from?"

Everyone around laughed, and Xu Qingmu also covered his mouth.But he knew that Song Jue had no hobbies, so he really liked making money, so he followed his advice and said, "All right, no matter how small a mosquito's legs are, it's still meat. Let's accompany Boss Song to sell tickets."

"Wait." He Xingchu smiled and said, "Brother, you can go with Boss Song, the rest of us want to go to the theme park."

As soon as she finished speaking, a group of people nodded in unison, even Bai Meimei, who was always clingy, nodded to express that she did not want to follow them.

Song Jue stood behind Xu Qingmu and gave them thumbs up with a smile on his face.

These kids are finally sensible.

Xu Qingmu still didn't understand the situation, watched the group of people leave happily, and murmured, "When did they discuss it behind my back?"

Song Jue chuckled lightly and said, "Don't worry about it, let's go out for a stroll too."

At this time, the sky was getting dark, the lights were on, and the night scene of Theater Street also appeared.

Theater Street is built along a wide canal, and all the gorgeous theaters are lit up, casting swaying reflections in the river, which is quite romantic.

The two walked and chatted along the river bank, and the figure that was very close was also reflected in the water.Xu Qingmu glanced at it, and for some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of peace and belonging in this foreign country.

With a smile on his lips, Song Jue glanced at Xu Qingmu's profile from time to time, feeling a sense of peace in his heart, thinking in his heart, wishing this road could be longer.

After a while, the two of them had reached the gate of the fighting arena. The match hadn't started yet, and there was already a long queue at the gate, with those waiting to enter and those waiting for tickets to be missed.

Xu Qingmu just took a look like this, and suddenly a foreign youth wrapped in a windbreaker jumped out from beside him, leaned over to Xu Qingmu's side with his waist hooked, and said something in a low voice.

After speaking, he mysteriously opened his windbreaker, and all kinds of tickets were hung on the inside, including a few tickets for fighting competitions, and a lot of tickets for Lingyun Taoist cultural performances.

Xu Qingmu suddenly thought of the scalper who bought tickets at the gate of Lingyun Temple.

Although they have different skin colors and different nationalities, they have the same expression and the same purpose, so even if Xu Qingmu doesn't understand, he still knows what he's talking about—do you want a ticket?

Xu Qingmu and Song Jue smiled similarly, and then Song Jue also took out a stack of tickets and asked him in English: "I have it too, do you want it?"

The foreign scalper's eyes became straight when he saw it, and he was pleasantly surprised: "You actually have so many tickets? Where did you get them? Tickets for fighting games are hard to get!"

Song Jue looked at him, smiled slightly, and said, "Do you want it? We can exchange it. I have sixteen fighting matches here. How about exchanging all the cultural performances in your hand?"

The scalper opened his mouth wide to say something, but when he recovered, he immediately adjusted his expression, pretending not to be so surprised.Then he said, "Oh, these tickets are for sale, and I usually don't exchange them."

Song Jue let out a long "Oh" and said, "That's it, forget it."

As he was about to leave, Huang Niulan quickly reached out to stop the two of them, and said with a sneer, "Oh, I had a good chat with the two gentlemen today, so let's treat it as acquaintance, and change it."

He was very afraid that Song Jue would regret it, so he quickly took out all the tickets for cultural performances in his bag, and handed them to Song Jue with both hands.

Song Jue exchanged tickets with him, and a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face.

Xu Qingmu also showed a satisfied smile on his face, and said, "Congratulations, you are the mosquito's leg caught by Boss Song."
