Skilled in managing a house

Today's seal-raising ceremony really opened the eyes of countless people in the sect. It has been rare for many years to break the rules and promote seal script, especially the strength displayed by Zhang Yu, which shocked everyone present in the Taoist sect.

After the ceremony, Master Yuan had no choice but to leave everyone to eat. Master Zhang, Master Chen, and Master Hua simply left without staying because they had previously said they had to catch a flight.

Other members of the Zhenhai Taoist sect stayed at Baimei Palace to eat, and Zhang Yu was even kept overnight. In fact, he was so tired that he couldn't close his eyelids. As soon as he arrived in the guest room, he fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Yuan Zhenren got up very early as usual. He put on a white Taoist robe, washed himself, and came to the main room, where porridge and side dishes were already laid out.

"Master." Shangguan Ning stood aside and immediately saluted respectfully when he saw Yuan Zhenren.

Although she is a disciple of Feng Chongjue, because of her performance at the last Chinese and Western Feng Shui exchange meeting, she was favored by Yuan Zhenren and became her disciple.

It can be said that Master Yuan has not accepted apprentices for a long time. After all, he is busy with secular affairs and has no time to take care of apprentices. It can also be seen from this that Zhenren Yuan is interested in Shangguan Ning.

Master Yuan nodded, without sitting down, but asked directly: "I wonder if Zhang Yu is awake?"

"I don't know, disciple. Otherwise, I should go take a look now." Shangguan Ning said quickly.

"I'll go there myself." Yuan Zhenren said and walked outside.

"Master, you haven't eaten yet," Shangguan Ning said hurriedly.

"No hurry." Yuan Zhenren opened the door, took a breath of fresh air, and stepped towards the guest room.

Shangguan Ning could only follow behind obediently, following Yuan Zhenren to the guest room.

When he arrived at the door, Shangguan Ning knocked on the door. After a few knocks, Zhang Yu's voice sounded from inside, "Who is it?"

"The abbot is here." Shangguan Ning said directly.

"Wait a moment."

After a while, the door opened, and Zhang Yu stood at the door sleepily. He had obviously just gotten up and hadn't even had time to wash his face.

"Uncle, you are here, come in quickly." Zhang Yu said politely.

Yuan Zhenren nodded and walked inside. The guest room was not very big. The whole room was separated by screens and had some ancient charm. There is a small living room outside with a few chairs.

Zhang Yu invited Master Yuan to sit down, and Shangguan Ning stood beside and behind Master Yuan. Zhang Yu was considered a junior at this place, so he did not sit down directly.

Master Yuan pointed to the chair opposite, motioned for Zhang Yu to sit down, and then exchanged pleasantries and praised Zhang Yu's performance at the seal-raising ceremony yesterday.

Zhang Yu nodded straightly, but he knew in his heart that it was impossible for Master Yuan to come here so early in the morning just to talk about this. There must be something wrong.

He didn't ask, just listened.

As expected, Master Yuan finally got to the point, "Zhang Yu, I came to you this time because I have something to discuss with you."

"Uncle, my words are serious. If you have anything to do, just ask me." Zhang Yu said quickly.

"I am your uncle, and you are also a disciple of my White Eyebrow Palace. But to a certain extent, you just converted to Taoism, and you are not the abbot of a Taoist temple. You did not take refuge in my White Eyebrow Palace. I came here today on purpose. I accept you as my disciple and invite you to take refuge in my White Eyebrow Palace. What do you think?" Yuan Zhenren said kindly.

Hearing this, Zhang Yu and Shangguan Ning were both stunned. They really didn't expect that Master Yuan came over so early in the morning to mention such a thing to Zhang Yu.

Shangguan Ning hurriedly looked at Zhang Yu, wanting to see if Zhang Yu would agree.

Zhang Yu could only force a smile and said: "Uncle, my disciple is now the abbot of Wudang Taoist Temple. It seems inconvenient for me to convert to Baimei Palace again."

Uncle Taishi said that it is not possible to seek help from a master, but can only seek help from a master. Moreover, he is a convert to Taoism. He cannot convert to any Taoist sect. He is the leader of the Wudang Sect. Once you convert to Baimei Palace, it is not equivalent to betraying the master.

"Taoism all over the world worships the Three Pure Ones, so why should you be rigid? I am not young anymore. In fact, I have long wanted to abdicate in favor of others and devote myself to cultivating Taoism, but I have never been able to find a suitable successor. If you worship me as your teacher and become a convert, My Baimei Palace, after five years, I will abdicate on my own, and you will take over as the abbot of my Baimei Palace and become the president of the Zhenhai Taoist Association. What do you think?" Yuan Zhenren said again sincerely.

Shangguan Ning was shocked again and looked at Yuan Zhenren in surprise, and then looked at Zhang Yu in surprise.

It can be said that almost no one in the Taoist sect in the world would refuse the conditions offered by Master Yuan.

Baimei Palace is one of the nine sects in the world, and its status in Zhengyi Sect is second only to the three immortal mountains. The status of the abbot of Baimei Palace is even more conceivable.

The Zhengyi Sect is a little different from the Quanzhen Sect. Among the Quanzhen Sect, many are jungle temples, and there are even large temples in the jungles of Shifang. In this case, the abbot can be invited. As long as they are highly virtuous and highly respected people in the Quanzhen Sect, they may be invited to be the abbot of any Taoist temple.

Most of the Zhengyi Sect's temples are Zisun Temples, and some such as Baimei Palace are Zisun Jungle Temples. The position of abbot must be passed on to his disciples without invitation.

Yuan Zhenren now allowed Zhang Yu to convert to Baimei Palace, and then took over as abbot five years later, which is already a bit of an exception.

Zhang Yu frowned slightly and said: "Uncle, I am now the abbot of Wudang Taoist Temple. I still don't feel good about being here temporarily."

"What's wrong? My Baimei Palace is a jungle of descendants. There are also temples of descendants of my Baimei Palace in Zhenhai. Wudang Taoist Temple can also join my Baimei Palace, and then you can take over my position. Isn't it great? ." Yuan Zhenren said with a smile.

"The main reason for this is that I don't really want to become a monk. I also want to get married." Zhang Yu couldn't refuse directly, so he had to use this excuse. But this is also true. Most of the people in Baimei Palace are monks. If you become the abbot of Baimei Palace, you will still need to get married in the future.

Seeing Zhang Yu didn't agree again, Shangguan Ning was secretly surprised again. And the reason Zhang Yu said made her heart tremble. "Is it true that he wants to get married? To whom?"

"It's unnecessary for you to worry. Our Zhengyi sect can get married and have children. The Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion is passed down from father to son from generation to generation. So, after you arrive at my Baimei Palace, you can marry a wife and have children." Immediately, Master Yuan said.

Zhang Yu secretly said in his heart, this Master Yuan is really good. Even if I don't want to agree, I can't do it. How can I catch up with him?

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "In this case, can you give me some time to think about it?"

There was no other way, Zhang Yu could only resort to delaying tactics, delaying the attack for a while, and then discuss it when he went back to see Sun Zhaoyi.

Seeing Zhang Yu pushing and blocking, Yuan Zhenren couldn't help but have a trace of displeasure on his face. I am the abbot of Baimei Palace and the president of Zhenhai Taoist Association. I took the initiative to invite you to come to me to take over the throne, but you are still unwilling.

But this displeasure was fleeting. She nodded slightly and said, "Okay, think about it carefully. If you are willing, come to me at any time."

After saying that, the person stood up.
