Chapter 92 Old Chen is an interesting person

"Jia Zi is easy to talk to. If you try hard to talk him down, maybe..."

"Maybe if Taoist Master Jiazi is happy, he can give us the lowest price?"

Xu Yichi was startled when he heard the voice and immediately became interested.

"No." Yang Yan'an raised his chin in a mysterious manner, "What I mean is, if you try hard to negotiate with him, maybe that unlucky kid will get excited and help you pay the rent."

"?" The little girl was confused. "Are you sure he is just good at talking?"

——No matter how easy-going you are... you won't just help someone pay all the money in a fit of anger!

How much do they earn as Taoist priests in a month... Is Taoist Priest Jiazi so rich?

"Oh... Don't worry, I can do it, I can do it." The little girl held out her hand and said calmly, "After all, the rent is not a lot of money for him... Every month, he pays Lao Chen more than that just to go to work."

"? Paying money to work?" Xu Yichi was shocked, "Senior Peak, are you still talking like a human being?"

——These days, it’s good enough if everyone is willing to go to work... Who is a good person willing to pay the boss to work!

"What do you think?" The little girl turned her head and looked at the little girl as if she was slightly mentally retarded - she is not a human, why should she speak human language?

"… Sorry, I forgot that you don't need to speak human language." Xu Dazuo was silent for a moment, and then he couldn't help but raise a new objection, "But that person who pays to work…"

No matter how she listened to this thing, she still felt it was outrageous.

"This is actually easy to understand." Yang Yan turned his head and looked back at the computer screen and shrugged leisurely, "Think about it, Xiao Xu."

"In fact, a high-level master like Lao Chen usually doesn't easily accept disciples - even if he wants to, he will usually start with a young child who has just started to learn. He will let the child go up the mountain at a young age and learn from him from a young age."

"Apprentices like this usually have purer minds and a relatively solid foundation."

"But Jiazi—he was lucky enough to be admitted to the Yaoshan Monastery when he was 23 years old, and he became Lao Chen's last disciple as soon as he entered the mountain—he is only 25 years old this year, but the old man has already decided that he will be his successor in the future."

"Xiao Xu, have you ever thought about why this is happening?" The little Loli asked a meaningful question. After Xu Yichi heard it, he subconsciously fell into deep thought: "Emm..."

"Because Taoist Priest Jiazi is truly gifted. Although he didn't have the opportunity to enter Taoism until he was 23 years old, he has grown to be better than ordinary Taoist priests in less than two years?"

"Wake up, that's impossible." The little girl had a blank expression on her face, with a bit of undisguised disdain in her eyes. "According to the current Taoist tradition in the world, no matter how talented you are, it's hard to catch up with twenty years of hard work in just two years, okay?"

"Give it six or seven years, maybe there will be some opportunities... Two years, then you're probably dreaming."

"And to be honest, Jiazi's talent is not the best. At most, we can praise him as 'above average'." Yang Yan'an raised his hand and patted the girl's shoulder, "There are many young Taoist priests in Yaoshan Temple who are more talented than him - he didn't get in based on his talent." "If it's not talent... then what else can he rely on?" Xu Yichi frowned, and after a moment she recalled the phrase "Old Chen, that damn profiteer" that Yang Yan'an and others often said, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to her mind.

"Could it be... relying on money?"

——She remembered that Yaoshan Temple seemed to have a special unit of measurement.

"edge".

"That's right—" The old loli nodded in approval, "It depends on having money."

"——That kid is a damned and hateful rich second generation. His father is in business and is a familiar face to Old Chen. After graduating and working for a year, this little bastard couldn't think straight and insisted on becoming a monk. His father was afraid that he would be fooled by swindlers again, so he simply sent him to Old Chen to learn skills."

"The tuition fee is eight yuan a year, not nine yuan." Yang Yan'an said as he brushed his sleeves. "By the way, you should know what the unit of measurement 'yuan' means, right?"

Xu Yichi was stunned: "...I know."

"Well, it's good that you know." The little girl nodded. "Anyway, the situation is roughly like this. This little clip is not left in Yaoshan Temple for no reason - he is paid to work. In other words, this kid and his father are their Yaoshan Temple's fixed meal tickets."

"So Old Chen chose him to inherit his legacy, which is beneficial to Yaoshan Temple Chunchun. In addition, this child's talent is not bad. Although his learning speed is not as fast as his senior brothers and sisters who are supported by the real ancestors, it is not much slower."

"And Chen Yingsheng is a very interesting person - many of his ideas are very similar to ours in some ways."

Yang Yanan swung his legs and said lightly: "We don't want these so-called 'intangible cultural heritage' to become 'high art' that is completely out of touch with the masses, high above and on the verge of extinction."

"He didn't want the young Taoist priests at Yaoshan Temple to become 'immortals' who retreated from the world and only knew how to practice but were unaware of the sufferings of the world."

"Art belongs to the masses, and culture belongs to the people. If you hold yourself too high, you will easily become complacent. The consequence of being complacent is that everyone knows what will happen." Yang Yan'an spread his hands, "So, we are here to find ways to innovate, change, and popularize."

"Old Chen, on the other hand, is trying to find ways to get his disciples to be more down-to-earth, so that they don't lock themselves up in the mountains and chant sutras all day, or get addicted to all that nonsense on the Internet."

"It's useless and a waste of time and energy." The little girl frowned and sneered, "However, the young Taoist priests who are willing to practice and help the world are still quite down-to-earth. It's just that they have been in the mountains for too long and are somewhat ignorant of worldly affairs."

"——At this time, the importance of having a successor like Jiazi becomes more prominent. Don't be fooled by the fact that Jiazi doesn't show off his talents. In fact, this damn second-generation son of a bitch has been traveling around with his father since he was a child. He is very cunning."

Yang Yanan curled his lips: "He just has a good temper. He is a bit 'worldly-wise but not worldly-wise'. He hasn't been beaten into a new generation of profiteers by life yet."

"Hiss~" Xu Dazhi suddenly recalled how Lu Shinian explained to her that day how her idol cheated his own brand. He gritted his teeth and gasped repeatedly, "If you put it that way, it's true."

"That's right." The little girl said in a mature manner, "So, Xiao Xu, cherish the little clip that has not yet become a profiteer——"

"While the kid is still young, you should cheat him twice as much as you can. Otherwise, after a few years, he will have been with Old Chen for a long time and become completely black inside and out. Then it will be hard to cheat him!"
