Catching Monsters

Chapter 51: Thinking of Taking on a Disciple

After hearing Xuan Daozi's question, Jiang Yun was just about to answer.

But a feeling of dizziness came over me.

His eyes rolled back and he fell heavily to the ground.

This was the price he paid for the magic he had just performed.

The powerful spell had drained all of his energy from his body.

The crisis has not been resolved yet, and I am only relying on a willpower to hold on.

Obviously the crisis has been resolved, but they can no longer hold on.

Upon seeing this, Xu Suwen quickly jumped down from the eaves, hurried to Jiang Yun's side, and carefully checked Jiang Yun's condition.

Xuan Daozi flicked his whisk lightly and said, "It's okay. This young man just consumed too much mana and his body was slightly damaged. He will be fine after a few days of recuperation."

"Old immortal, I'll take him to his room to rest first." Xu Suwen picked up Jiang Yun and quickly rushed to his bedroom on the third floor of Nanmanju.

After putting Jiang Yun on the bed and covering him with the quilt, Xu Suwen finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Xuan Daozi who had followed him: "I am Xu Suwen of the Jinyiwei, nice to meet you, old immortal."

Xuan Daozi said calmly: "What old immortal? He is just following the crowd. If the Taoists heard this, they would probably laugh at me."

"It was you who sent me the letter to Tianqing Temple, right? The reincarnated person you mentioned is him?"

Xu Suwen hurriedly nodded in agreement, but to his surprise, Xuan Daozi shook his head, looked out the window, and said, "He is not the reincarnation of my senior brother."

"The Taoist magic he performed was definitely not from my Tianqing Temple. Besides, my senior brother left this jade pendant before he passed away."

"This jade pendant is connected to his soul. If it encounters him, this jade pendant will shine."

Xuan Daozi took out an exquisite emerald green jade pendant with sophisticated talismans engraved on it. It was obvious that this item was a rare treasure in Taoism.

He brought the jade pendant close to the unconscious Jiang Yun, but the jade pendant did not react at all.

"Ah." Xuan Daozi sighed slightly and said, "Brother has the common people in the world in his heart. For this, he is willing to reincarnate and go through the pain of reincarnation."

“I don’t know when I can find it.”

When Xu Suwen found out that Jiang Yun was not the reincarnation of the great Taoist priest as stated in the legend, he felt disappointed, but also a little happy.

The disappointment lies in that if Jiang Yun is really the reincarnation of the great heavenly master, once he returns to Beijing, he will probably be of great help to their Xu family.

Although Taoism was severely suppressed, this did not include the third-grade Heavenly Master.

Now, there is a third-grade great Taoist master in charge in each of the other two Taoist temples.

His Majesty the Emperor can visit the two great heavenly masters frequently.

And the joy lies in that.

If Jiang Yun is really the reincarnation of the Great Heavenly Master...

Taoists are pure-hearted and have few desires. Although they are not as extreme as monks, Taoists can marry and have children.

But those who are truly devoted to practicing Taoism have no interest in love matters.

Women will only affect their determination to practice Buddhism.

If Jiang Yun is like this...

Thinking of this, Xu Suwen quickly shook his head, wondering what he was thinking about.

She looked at Jiang Yun lying on the bed, and kept saying to herself: I was contacting him just to cooperate with him to make the mission go more smoothly, and I must not have any other thoughts.

She kept repeating this sentence in her mind, as if warning herself.

At this moment, Xuan Daozi, holding a whisk in his hand, was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he sat down in the room.

Xu Suwen felt puzzled, thinking that Xuan Daozi might have come because of his letter.

Since it has been confirmed that Jiang Yun is not the reincarnation of the great master, why is he still reluctant to leave? On the contrary, the look in his eyes when he looks at Jiang Yun is somewhat fiery.

Not long after, footsteps were heard on the stairs. It was Xu Xiaogang and Jiang Qiaoqiao returning.

He took Jiang Qiaoqiao to hide temporarily in the next two streets. When he found that the troops in the palace had withdrawn, he rushed back immediately and entered the house.

The two looked at Jiang Yun who was lying unconscious on the bed.

"elder brother!"

"Brother-in-law!"

"Sister Xu, how is my brother?"

"Sister, why did my brother-in-law faint?!"

After the two entered the room, they hurried to the bedside.

Jiang Qiaoqiao lay on the edge of the bed, holding Jiang Yun's left hand.

Xu Xiaogang lay on the edge of the bed, holding Jiang Yun's right hand.

At this moment, Xu Xiaogang just discovered that there was an old Taoist priest in the room. He looked him up and down and prepared to ask some questions.

Xu Suwen knew what kind of person his younger brother was.

This guy has been spoiled since he was a child, and he has no control over his words. If he offends Xuan Daozi, she will remind him hastily: "This is Tianqingguan, Xuan Daozi..."

"Xuan Daozi?" Xu Xiaogang had been hanging around in the capital for a long time, so naturally he had heard of the name of this old immortal.

"Old Immortal." Xu Xiaogang's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously, "Are you here for my brother-in-law? Right?"

"Look, is my brother-in-law the reincarnation of the great celestial master of your Tianqing Temple?"

"I think so."

"Sister, what do you think?"

Xu Suwen said with a dark face, "The old immortal has checked and found that Jiang Yun is not the reincarnation of the great celestial master."

Xu Xiaogang was stunned for a while after hearing this, then he threw Jiang Yun's right hand away and said, "So, I don't have to call him brother-in-law anymore?"

Xu Suwen frowned, a little angry, and subconsciously retorted: "Xu Xiaogang, what's the matter? He is not the reincarnation of the great master. So you can't call him brother-in-law?"

Xu Xiaogang was stunned for a while, then grabbed Jiang Yun's right hand again: "Sister, do you mean I still have to call you brother-in-law?"

"Brother-in-law..."

Xu Suwen kicked him on the butt again: "Who told you to scream?"

Xu Xiaogang: “???”

Xu Xiaogang couldn't help but think to himself, my sister wasn't like this before. She was very clean and fierce in doing things, and would draw her sword if she disagreed with something.

Nowadays, I have learned to be pretentious like those rich ladies. If I like someone, I like him/her. If I don’t like someone, I don’t like him/her. I always have to let myself know what to call him/her.

"Okay, you go to the next room first. I'll treat his body for a while and then he will wake up." Xuan Daozi said.

So, Xu Xiaogang and Jiang Qiaoqiao retreated to the next room. Xuan Daozi used the whisk in his hand to gently sweep across Jiang Yun's body, and a warm current of magic power gradually flowed into Jiang Yun's body.

Lying in the next room, Xu Xiaogang licked his fingers, poked a hole in the window paper, and looked through the gap.

"Let me take a look too." Jiang Qiaoqiao followed suit, poked through the window paper, and asked curiously: "Is this old man a doctor? Is he treating my brother's injury?"

Xu Xiaogang, who was peeking at the side, shook his head: "He is not a doctor, but a Taoist priest."

"Taoist priest?" Jiang Qiaoqiao frowned. She had heard many rumors about Taoist priests.

But they are all told by storytellers, such as a young Taoist priest holding a sword in his hand, searching for hidden evil spirits and slaying demons.

Then he saved a rich lady and fell in love with her...

"It seems that the old immortal is thinking of accepting a disciple." Xu Xiaogang is very smart. This old immortal is rarely seen among the powerful and wealthy in Beijing.

If Jiang Yun was not the reincarnation of the great heavenly master, he would not be willing to leave.

This means that he must have taken a fancy to Jiang Yun.
