Skilled in managing a house

"I don't need it." Zhang Yu quickly shook his head.

It's just the sugar-fried chestnuts fried by Ouyang Yanyan by hand. Can it still be eaten?

Wait, Zhang Yu suddenly realized something was wrong. How could Ouyang Yanyan fry sugar and chestnuts with her hands? Isn't it hot to touch?

To his surprise, Ouyang Yanyan had already grabbed a handful of sugar-fried chestnuts from the pot, turned around, and walked over.

Wearing a large Taoist robe and tied up hair in a bun, her pretty figure and beautiful face cannot be seen. Just like a romantic Taoist priest.

"Abbott, you're here." She smiled at Zhang Yu, followed to Pan Sheng, peeled off two sugar-fried chestnuts with her own hands, fed them to Pan Sheng, and then came to Zhang Yu, "Try one."

"Can you eat this? Didn't your hands feel hot just now?" Zhang Yu looked at her curiously.

"Why can't you eat it?" Ouyang Yanyan peeled one open, ate it herself, and said proudly: "I can now send and receive the toxins on my hands freely, but the master said that my palm strength is too weak and I need to work harder." I had to practice harder, so I was asked to do this. It was quite hot at first, but now it’s nothing.”

"So fast?" Zhang Yu was stunned.

"Master is very clever." Ouyang Yanyan said, peeling a chestnut and bringing it to Zhang Yu's mouth, "Taste how it tastes."

Unable to resist the hospitality, Zhang Yu had no choice but to open his mouth and eat one. Not to mention, not only was it not poisonous, but it also tasted particularly good.

"Uncle Master, these chestnuts of yours cost at least fifteen yuan per catty." Zhang Yu said with a smile.

"This is not enough to eat, then go out and sell it." Ouyang Yanyan curled her lips.

"Junior sister, I want more." Pan Sheng, who was standing in a hurry, came again.

"Just wait." Ouyang Yanyan glanced at this guy.

Before, Ouyang Yanyan was looking for life and death, but after arriving at the Taoist temple, she was like a new person. Seeing the happiness on her face, Zhang Yu was also happy.

After exchanging some pleasantries in the courtyard, Zhang Yu walked into the room opposite.

On the fire bed, Sun Zhaoyi was still dressed in white, sitting cross-legged.

Just by listening to the voice, she could tell who it was. Since there was no outsider, she took the lead and said respectfully: "Sect Master, you are here."

"Uncle Taishi, I heard from Wang Jie that you were looking for me." Zhang Yu sat down by the kang.

"The front yard is very lively today. I asked about it and found out that I came to you to become my apprentice. This is a good thing." Sun Zhaoyi said.

"It's a good thing. The key is that I don't have so much time to teach my disciples." Zhang Yu frowned.

At that time, the old Wangtou taught him his skills almost every day, and it took him many years of training before he became a disciple. If you allow yourself to lead so many apprentices, you won't have to do anything else all day long.

"If the Taoist sect wants to flourish, it must have direct disciples so that they can accumulate merit and gain the reputation of being a Taoist sect. I know you have done a good job, but unfortunately one person's ability is limited after all. Look at Baimei Palace, there are countless disciples. , if they just rely on their abbot to do all the work inside and outside, I am afraid that the Baimei Palace will only be a small temple if it reaches the sky and the earth." Sun Zhaoyi said seriously.

"That's true." Zhang Yu nodded.

"As the saying goes, the master leads the door, and the practice is up to the individual. You don't need to teach them skills every day, just one or two days a week is enough. As for giving lectures, I think they can teach them better than you. I understand." Sun Zhaoyi smiled faintly.

"That's true." Zhang Yu said.

"You showed off your magical powers at the Seal Promotion Ceremony of Baimei Palace this time. Those people today are also aiming for this. You are showing too much talent and acting too hastily." Sun Zhaoyi said a little worried this time.

"At that time, I also let those real people corner me. Don't tell me. Early this morning, Master Yuan came to me and said that he wanted me to convert to the White Eyebrow Palace and pass on the position of abbot of the White Eyebrow Palace to me in five years. I I didn't agree," Zhang Yu said truthfully.

Sun Zhaoyi nodded with satisfaction and said: "Master Patriarch will never see the wrong person. But if this happens, it will be difficult for him to become a Taoist temple in the future."

"You mean, Master Yuan will make things difficult for our Taoist temple?" Zhang Yu said.

"Although it doesn't seem to be the case on the surface, it is inevitable that there will be grudges in my heart. You are the vice president responsible for issuing ultimatums, but the White Eyebrow Palace is ultimately in charge of awarding seals, so in many matters, you must not offend the White Eyebrow Palace." Sun Zhaoyi said seriously.

"I understand, if you offend the White Eyebrow Palace, you won't need to get the seal seal in the future." Zhang Yu nodded.

"There is no need to say that. Teaching seal script is to uphold the way of heaven. When you reach the stage of practicing master or lawyer, you will have more understanding. At that time, you can even open an altar for teaching seal script to your disciples. Well, why do you need others?" Sun Zhaoyi said.

"I can teach seal script to my disciples." Zhang Yu was surprised. He had never heard Sun Zhaoyi mention this before.

"It's too early for this matter. You still have a long way to go, so don't rush for a moment. You already know the power of the blue talisman. The first thing you have to do now is to refine it. Blue talisman paper." Sun Zhaoyi said seriously.

Zhang Yu was shocked. He could barely use the blue talisman paper. Now Sun Zhaoyi asked him to refine the blue talisman paper directly. This was a bit too exaggerated.

As the old saying goes, you don’t know if it’s going to be windy or rainy, and you don’t know how many bowls of rice you can eat in one meal.

Sun Zhaoyi smiled slightly and said: "In Taoism, refining talisman paper has always been the most mysterious thing. Only the core disciples know about it, and some even only know about it. Only the abbot of the sect knows about it. It seems to be extremely sacred, and other things are difficult to dabble in, but If you explain the matter, it would be very simple. Our Wudang Taoist Temple was one of the nine sects in the world at that time. If we don't even know how to refine talisman paper, wouldn't it be a joke?"

"Uncle Taishi, how do you want to practice?" Zhang Yu suddenly became energetic.

As Sun Zhaoyi said, Zhang Yu has always believed that refining talisman paper is a very mysterious thing.

Master Jia once said that talismans are exchanged through merit. Even within the Baimei Palace, only lower-grade talismans can be refined. For high-end talismans, you have to go to Longhu Mountain to redeem them with merit.

This situation is similar to being a part-time worker and working for someone else's big boss. After you have done enough, you will be given wages, which are talismans or something like that.

If you say that if you can refine talismans, you will no longer be a part-time worker, but also a boss.

Sun Zhaoyi said calmly: "Do you know what the main material is for papermaking?"

"I know this." Even though Zhang Yu didn't have a high degree of education, he still knew about papermaking because his family was a carpenter. "It uses wood pulp to make paper."

"That's right!" Sun Zhaoyi nodded and said: "Ordinary paper is made of wood, and talisman paper is also made of wood. However, the higher-end talisman paper requires better wood."

"So that's it!" Zhang Yu's eyes lit up, "I know wood!"

Finally, I came to my strengths.
