I am Zhao Zhijing, a poor Taoist priest, and I have disciples all over the world.

Chapter 125: Cultivate the Human Being First, Then Cultivate the Tao

"Dad, what happened?"

Guo Fu and a few others were originally following Guo Jing from behind. When they heard the shout and turned around, Guo Jing had already appeared in front of the little Taoist priest.

“Yang Guo?”

Huang Rong accompanied her husband to Huashan this time, mainly to see Yang Guo. Unexpectedly, she ran into him in this market town by chance.

But she didn't like Yang Guo as much as her husband did. After she walked closer and confirmed that the little Taoist priest was Yang Guo, she just said indifferently: "Well, your uncle Guo finally sees you."

On the other side, Guo Jing heard Yang Guo say that these two senior brothers usually took good care of him. Although he was not sure based on what had just happened, he put down his guard.

When Lu Qingdu and Liu Qingxing saw that the man was the great hero Guo Jing, they hurried forward to salute.

Huang Rong observed carefully and saw that the fat Lu Qingdu and Yang Guo had many patches on their clothes and were covered in dust, but the Taoist robe of the young Taoist named Liu Qingxing was neat and tidy.

But Liu Qingxing just stood up for Yang Guo without hesitation, and he did so even though he didn't know the identities of his husband and wife. It was obvious that he was very caring towards Yang Guo.

Guo Jing reached out to help Yang Guo brush off the dust on his body, and then reached out to touch the thickness of his clothes. Yang Guo was quick-witted and immediately explained: "Don't worry, Uncle Guo, I went down the mountain with my brothers to train today, so I am wearing old clothes. The new clothes are all on the mountain!"

"Master taught us that understanding worldly affairs is learning, and understanding human nature is writing."

"Whether we travel the world or practice in the mountains in the future, we should first cultivate ourselves as human beings and then cultivate the Tao."

Yang Guo finished speaking, but was afraid that Guo Jing would not believe him, so he walked over to Lu Qingdu and said, "Brother Lu just said that to me because he didn't want me to carry so many things."

Lu Qingdu was not very good at speaking, so he scratched his head and said, "Junior Brother Yang is the smartest among us brothers. He didn't have to follow me to do these rough and tiring jobs."

"Wouldn't it be much easier to follow Junior Brother Liu to read people's fortunes? But he refused to do it and insisted on moving things with me."

After hearing their explanation, Guo Jing realized that he was overthinking it. Fortunately, no further misunderstanding occurred.

"Uncle Guo, what are you and Aunt Guo going to do in Huashan this time?"

Over there, Lu Qingdu saw that Guo Jing and his wife came to visit Yang Guo, but he couldn't stop the work at hand, so he took the initiative to carry the package that Yang Guo was carrying, apologized to the two of them, and went to finish his own task first.

Liu Qingxing put away his fortune-telling stall and stayed with Yang Guo. Several fellow disciples went down the mountain with him, and after receiving the news, they also began to gather here.

"There is indeed something to do, but there is no rush. Let's go to Yunv Peak to see your master and thank him for his cultivation."

When Guo Jing heard Yang Guo say, "Knowledge of the world is understanding, writing is understanding of human nature," he felt that he had never heard it before, but after thinking about it carefully, he found it very profound.

Seeing that Yang Guo was getting along very well with other brothers, the mischievous look he had on Peach Blossom Island was almost gone. He was very happy and naturally wanted to meet Zhao Zhijing to express his gratitude.

Huang Rong felt that this was unnecessary. If she had not met Yang Guo here, she would have had to go to Jade Maiden Peak. But now that she had seen Yang Guo, it seemed a bit of an overreaction to go up the mountain on purpose.

The Wu brothers, who were on the Peach Blossom Island, were at odds with Yang Guo. Although they were young, they had several fights that almost resulted in death.

Now that they met again, as his master and his mistress were both there, he had to patiently step forward and say hello. But when he saw what Yang Guo was wearing, he thought that his master was just a third-generation disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, and how could he be compared with his own master, so he began to look down on him.

Guo Fu was different. She was very curious about Yang Guo doing hard labor in the street. If he was practicing martial arts, why did he have to do it in public?
Besides, the fat Taoist priest had already said that he was moving things for others. And what kind of kung fu did the Taoist priest who was setting up a stall to tell fortunes do? She had been on Peach Blossom Island for a long time. Huang Yaoshi traveled all over the world and collected countless rare treasures on the island. Naturally, he would not be short of money.

Moreover, the Wu brothers tried to please her in every way. No matter what they liked, sometimes they would find ways to offer it to her without her even asking.

His father Guo Jing also said that Quanzhen Sect was the largest sect in the world, so even if it was a little worse than Peach Blossom Island, it should have enough food and drink.

So seeing Yang Guo’s current situation naturally feels fresh.

"Brother Yang, why are you moving these things for others?"

Yang Guo has become accustomed to a self-reliant life in Huashan, and none of his fellow brothers and sisters think there is anything wrong with this. Instead, they are all proud to be able to earn more money through their own strengths.

Hearing Guo Fuxiang's question, he said as a matter of course: "Because we need to make money. The main structure on our mountain is almost complete, but there are still many things that need to be improved in the future."

"If you are short of money, shouldn't you go ask your friends in the martial arts world for help, or ask the Taoist priest who manages the money in your Quanzhen Sect? Why waste your time here?"

"."

Yang Guo didn't know how to answer, so he looked at Guo Jing.

Huang Rong held her forehead with her hand, thinking that it was not unfair to call her daughter a fool.

Although Huang Rong didn't really want to go to the Jade Maiden Peak, she didn't want to disappoint her husband, so she simply said, "Brother Jing, since you want to go up the mountain, it's better to set off now."

When Liu Qingxing and other disciples saw that an extremely important guest had come to visit, they immediately stopped doing their business. However, those who could not stop for a moment, such as Lu Qingdu, were asked to go and explain everything to the host.

In fact, who in this town at this time didn't know the names of Master Zhao and his disciples from the Jade Maiden Peak of Mount Huashan? Even if they didn't work, some people would line up to give them money to ensure their safety, but the other party never accepted it.

In this way, several disciples including Yang Guo accompanied Guo Jing and Huang Rong up the mountain.

On the way, Guo Jing asked Yang Guo what skills he had learned and what had happened in the past year. Yang Guo answered politely, only skipping the fact that his master was punished and imprisoned in the Chongyang Palace prison.

Guo Jing nodded repeatedly as he listened, and he was especially pleased when Liu Qingxing, who was standing nearby, took the opportunity to tell him that Yang Guo had won first place in the Quanzhen Sect's fourth generation disciple competition.

When everyone arrived at the mountain gate, they happened to meet Zhao Zhijing seeing off a guest. That man was not some gangster. Instead, he was dressed in official uniform and was followed by six runners. Judging from his rank, he should be an official at the level of a prefect.

"Master Zhao, the bandits in Erlong Mountain still beg you to take action to ensure the peace of the people in the Huashan area!"

The official probably didn't know any martial arts, and he didn't notice that there was another person at the mountain gate. He saluted towards Zhao Zhijing with a fist, obviously asking for help with something important.

Zhao Zhijing saw it, as he had met Guo Jing. The identities of the other people were naturally self-evident. Huang Rong was indeed as beautiful as her reputation said. She was more beautiful than Li Mochou and the still young Xiaolongnu.

The official was Ding Weizhong, the prefect of Huazhou. After finishing his business, he was about to say goodbye and leave. When he turned around and saw Huang Rong, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Just when he was about to take a closer look, he suddenly remembered the purpose of coming here today. Although he was unwilling, he had to leave with regret. He planned to find an opportunity to send someone to secretly inquire about the background of this beauty.
