Chapter 511 The news from the master

He hasn't come back for two years. When Wu Tianlin took his wife and children to return to the Taoist temple in a car with him, his mood has not calmed down for a long time. Looking at the familiar mountains and rivers outside the car window, the memories of the past are accompanied by various happiness and tides, making him feel like he was back to the virgin era.

In the past two years, Wu Tianlin called the Taoist guru several times to ask about his master's whereabouts, but he didn't know if his master was unwilling to see him or something, so the contact resulted in several times not only disappointing him but also disappointing him.

As the roads in the suburbs are being widened, the cars are congested. The car stopped and drove for half an hour before reaching the foot of the Taoist temple. I haven't returned here for two years. When Wu Tianlin walked out of the car with his child in his arms, Wu Tianlin obviously felt that there had been a huge change here. The originally winding dirt road had turned into steps made of bluestone, while the small Taoist temple on the far side of the mountain, which was hidden by green trees and bamboos, has now become particularly magnificent.

Wu Tianlin held the child, held his daughter, and smiled and said to his daughter beside him: "Elisa! This is where Daddy grew up."

The little girl didn't know what a Taoist temple was, so when she learned that this was the place where his father grew up, she looked up and soon saw the huge building with a towering double-eaved nine-ridge roof in the distance. The brackets were intertwined, and the yellow tiles covered roof were like a golden palace. She happily pulled the corner of Wu Tianlin's clothes and said to Wu Tianlin in a slight voice: "Dad! The place you lived in when you were a child was so beautiful! Just like the imperial palace in Peking, Eliza will also live in such a palace in the future."

When Wu Tianlin heard his daughter's words, he said with a smile: "Eliza! Then Dad will live with you tonight, come! Let's go up the mountain!"

Since the construction of this place has been done in the past two years, when Wu Tianlin returned to the door of the Taoist temple again, he could no longer find the familiar feeling of the past. He walked through the courtyard and stepped on the nine stone steps to the magnificent hall. When he walked into the hall, there was a square lacquered plaque about two meters high. On the middle was a golden lacquered dragon throne, and behind it was a carved dragon screen. There were six tall golden pillars on both sides of the square platform, and a strong golden dragon was coiled around each large pillar. Looking up at the top of the hall, there was a huge carved dragon coiled dragon on the central caisson, hanging from the dragon's mouth.

The next big silver-white round bead was surrounded by six small beads, the dragon head, and the pearl was facing the golden throne below. The colorful paintings between the beams were gorgeous and bright and pleasing to the eye. The red and yellow golden dragon pattern pattern was patterned with two dragons playing with the beads and a single dragon flying; there were dragons walking, sitting, flying dragons, and submerged dragons, colorful. The dragons were surrounded by the flowing cloud flames, making Wu Tianlin feel as if he had entered a strange environment. If he had not seen the familiar statue of Yuanshi Tianzun, Wu Tianlin would not be sure that this was the small Taoist temple where he had lived for more than ten years.

"Amitabha! Several donors! This view is still under renovation and will not be open to the public for the time being. Please wait for the Lantern Festival again." Just as Wu Tianlin was immersed in this familiar and unfamiliar environment in front of him, a strange voice came from the back of the hall to his ears.

Hearing this strange voice, Wu Tianlin turned his head in the direction of the sound, and saw a strange little Taoist priest walking out from behind the hall. Wu Tianlin instinctively closed his hands and asked the little Taoist priest: "Amitabha! May I ask this junior brother, is Junior Brother Huijue in the temple? If you are there, please help me convey it, and you will say that an old friend is visiting."

When the little Taoist saw that the other party actually called out his senior brother Huijue's name in one mouthful, he knew that the group of people in front of him must be his senior brother's acquaintances, he immediately replied to Wu Tianlin: "The Master of Amitabha! It turns out that it is the old friend of the senior brother who is visiting. Please wait for a while, and I will inform the senior brother now." As he said that, he turned around and left the hall.

Wu Tianlin and the others didn't wait long, and a voice was heard from behind the hall again: "Junior Brother Mingtong! Who is looking for me? It's the New Year now, and our Taoist temple is not open to the public. Who will come to me?

Hearing Huijue's familiar voice, Wu Tianlin showed a kind smile on his face and walked quickly towards the back of the hall. Seeing Huijue wearing a brand new Taoist robe, he immediately shouted: "Junior Brother Huijue! It's me back."

Hearing Wu Tianlin's voice, Huijue's face showed a surprise smile. He walked to Wu Tianlin in two steps and shouted happily to Wu Tianlin: "Senior Brother Tianlin! Why don't you call first when you come back? This way I can let someone clean up your room. Senior Brother! Let's go to the backyard."

When Wu Tianlin heard Huijue's words, he replied with a smile: "I decided to come back temporarily this time, how about it! Are you all good? Is there any news about the master?"

"Okay! OK! All are good! But the master has never come back. Not long ago, when I went to attend our Taoist meeting, I heard from the senior brother of Sanqing Palace that I met his master on the top of Mount Hua. Later, after the meeting, I went there specially, but I couldn't find the master." Huijue heard Wu Tianlin mention his master, and showed an expression similar to Wu Tianlin on his face, and in disappointment, he gave a brief introduction to Wu Tianlin's news.

Although Wu Tianlin still doesn't know where his master is, at least he has gained something. No matter where his master is now, it is enough for him to know that his master is still alive. Thinking of this, Wu Tianlin couldn't help but sigh and said to himself: "Master wanted to travel around a lot a long time ago, but because I told him not to go anywhere, now he finally can walk around, so let him go! I just hope that Master can tell us his whereabouts from time to time and know that he is safe and sound."

Huijue, who was standing beside him, heard Wu Tianlin's words and continued, "Senior Brother! Master knows that you will definitely look for him everywhere, so when I went to attend the Taoist meeting, I specially asked the Taoist priest of the Sanqing Palace to tell us not to look for him. When the fate comes, we will naturally be able to meet."

While speaking, Wu Tianlin's junior brothers learned that Wu Tianlin was back and put down what he had at hand and went to the backyard. Among these people were those he knew and many new faces he didn't know. When Wu Tianlin heard Huijue introduce these new junior brothers, he smiled and said to Huijue: "Huijue! A few years ago, there were only two Taoist temples and I and my masters. Although they were very quiet, they also seemed deserted. I didn't expect that a few years later, our Taoist temple will not only be renovated, but also become prosperous. It can be seen that you have worked hard on Taoist temples in recent years."

When Huijue heard Wu Tianlin's words, he quickly replied to Wu Tianlin: "Senior Brother! Huiming just helped Master and Senior Brother to follow the instructions of his master to watch the Taoist temple. How dare he be greedy for me? As for the repair of our Taoist temple, it was Mayor Li who helped me. Otherwise, no matter how capable Huiming is, it would be impossible for our Taoist temple to undergo such a large-scale repair."

Although the Taoist temple has been repaired beyond recognition, the Taoist temple in which he can see his life restored to its peak period in the past, which made him feel very relieved. So when he heard Huiming's words, he turned his head to look at Li Guozhu beside him, but he didn't say anything and sat at the stone table under the vine in the backyard and chatted with Huiming about family matters.

At around five o'clock in the evening, Wu Tianlin refused Huijue to keep him at the Taoist temple for dinner. Under the gaze of ordinary junior brothers, he left the Taoist temple and returned to the city in a car.

The car was driving steadily on the road, but Wu Tianlin turned his head from time to time to look at the small Taoist temple behind him, hidden by green trees and bamboos. It was not until the Taoist temple disappeared from his sight that he thanked Li Guozhu, who was sitting in the passenger seat in front of the business car, and said, "Mayor Li! Thank you for doing so many things for me."

Since Li Guozhu learned that Wu Tianlin was born in that Taoist temple, he has worked a lot in this regard. Finally, by a very coincidental situation, he accidentally discovered the wonder of the ice cellar on the back mountain of the Taoist temple. He classified the area of ​​the Taoist temple as a tourist attraction in Hancheng, and invested huge sums of money to comprehensively repair the mountain roads and Taoist temples in front of the Taoist temple, in order to hope that one day Wu Tianlin would know about the things he did during his tenure.

Now when he heard Wu Tianlin say thank you so sincerely, he was ecstatic when he was flattered, because he knew that when the other party said this thank you, the efforts he made in the past two years had been recognized by the other party. More importantly, from this moment on, the other party will always remember him as Li Guozhu in his heart.

After all, Li Guozhu was an old man in the officialdom. Although he was so excited that he could dance with his hands and feet at this time, he still suppressed the excitement in his heart and replied modestly to Wu Tianlin: "Young Master Wu! If you say this, that would be too exaggerated. That's what I should have done. And it's still us local government officials who should really say thank you. You must know that if it weren't for you, this Taoist temple in the Tang Dynasty would have been demolished long ago, let alone the ice cellar group on the back mountain of the Taoist temple that could be called a wonder of the world, so I just did what I did within my job."

After more than two years of experience, Wu Tianlin knew all the things in the officialdom that could only be understood but not expressed in words. He knew what Li Guozhu wanted most at this time, otherwise the other party would not spend so much effort to please him. So when he heard Li Guozhu's answer, he did not mess with this question. Instead, he took out the note from his pocket that had written his contact number in advance in the Taoist temple and handed it to Li Guozhu, and said with a smile: "Mayor Li! This is my contact number. If you have arrived in Peking when you can call the phone number above, you can contact me."

The manager Li Guozhu is the head of a city, but when he took the note that Wu Tianlin handed him, his hand still trembled slightly excitedly because of the unbearable joy in his heart. He carefully held the note in his hand and glanced at the mobile phone number on it. It was not until he recorded the eleven-digit mobile phone numbers deep in his brain that he folded the note and put it in his pocket in his clothes with great confidence and said to Wu Tianlin respectfully: "Young Master Wu! If I have the chance to go to Peking, I will definitely call you."

Wu Tianlin smiled and nodded, saying, "Mayor Li! Xiuli is one of my few female friends. When we were studying, it was the most difficult time for me, but at that time she often found various excuses to help me from time to time. Although we rarely contacted each other in the past two years, in my heart, she is my confidante. Now she is very at ease working under your hands. But many times, female compatriots always lack some passion than our men. So when necessary, you should help me hit her. Never mind your eyes on her because of our relationship."

To be honest, Li Guozhu really envies Yan Xiuli. Although Yan Xiuli is a girl in her twenties and there are very few women in charge in the officialdom of China, even if Wu Tianlin's words are not told to him, Yan Xiuli's future career will be destined to be smooth due to Wu Tianlin's relationship.

Originally, Li Guozhu had the idea of ​​promoting Yan Xiuli on the way to Hancheng, and then tried to get closer through Yan Xiuli and Wu Tianlin's relationship. Now Wu Tianlin said this to him so clearly, so it would be impossible to let him not pay attention to it. So when Wu Tianlin finished his words, Li Guozhu immediately replied: "Young Master Wu! You are completely worried about this. Although Xiao Yan is just a girl, he is a very outstanding female cadre. There are very few outstanding female cadres like Xiao Yan in our Jiaocheng District, so I put her in the position of Deputy Minister of the Propaganda Department for training. As a result, Xiao Yan's performance over the past year has indeed lived up to expectations. So I think Xiao Yan is now fully capable of serving as the top leader of a department alone. The secretary of the Hancheng Youth League Committee was just transferred some time ago. I plan to wait for the Spring Festival to nominate Xiao Yan to take over this position."

Yan Xiuli, who was sitting in the last row of the business car, was already ecstatic when she heard Wu Tianlin greeting Li Guozhu directly for her affairs. Now when she heard Li Guozhu say she would nominate her as secretary of the Youth League Municipal Party Committee, the joy was overturning, as if a bright future was right in front of her. However, at this time, she was not overwhelmed by the joy of the sudden arrival, but replied modestly: "Mayor Li! I am still young and have many shortcomings in my work. I am afraid that I will let down the leader's efforts for me at that time."

"Xiao Yan! Humility is certainly a virtue, but excessive humility is a hypocritical behavior. Although I have been transferred to Jiaocheng to work, I have been paying attention to you all the time this year. I see your serious and responsible attitude towards work. Besides, our cadre appointments have always been carried out according to the ability of this cadre, and the work achievements you have made in the Propaganda Department are obvious to all. So I said that if you can do it, you must be sure. You must believe in yourself and have enough confidence in yourself, so that you can make greater progress in your work!" Li Guozhu heard Yan Xiuli's words and answered Yan Xiuli in an official voice. Hearing Yan Xiuli's voice, Li Guozhu replied to Yan Xiuli in an official voice.

Wu Tianlin was not originally planning to speak for Yan Xiuli in this way, but he knew very well how great it would be to make a girl, especially a girl without a background, to make a name for herself. The most important thing was that when she came back this time, during the few hours he had contacted Yan Xiuli, he found that Yan Xiuli was definitely the kind of girl who was mysterious about power. If he did not help Yan Xiuli, Yan Xiuli's path in the officialdom would definitely be very bumpy in the future. Thinking of Yan Xiuli's help to him and the friendship between him and Yan Xiuli, he said this to Li Guozhu.

Wu Tianlin heard Li Guozhu's words and replied with a smile: "Xiuli! Mayor Li is right. No matter what job a person is engaged in, the first thing he needs is to have confidence in himself. As long as he has confidence, ability is naturally not a problem. However, once he loses confidence in himself, no matter how strong he is, he will not do his job well. This is to have a love and passion for work, especially passion is the most important, because passion can make people feel confident and motivated. Only after generating confidence and motivation can you complete the work better. Of course, based on my understanding of you, you have been a girl who is very capable and confident in yourself since childhood, so I believe you will do it."

Wu Tianlin did not have any deviation in Yan Xiuli's psychological guess. Since the day Yan Xiuli became the deputy minister of the Propaganda Department, she felt the feeling of superiority brought to her for the first time by power, and at the same time she quickly became addicted to this feeling and couldn't extricate herself. For this reason, she kept working hard, hoping to go further. However, after she worked for a long time, she found that it was not easy for a woman to work hard in the officialdom a hundred times more than a man. So at that time she thought of Wu Tianlin because she knew that the reason why she was able to obtain her current position had a direct relationship with Wu Tianlin, and whether she could go further in her current position was also directly related to Wu Tianlin. So now when she heard Wu Tianlin say this, she no longer was modest and replied in a sweet voice: "Since Tianlin, you have said that, I will do my best to ensure that Tianlin and Mayor Li will not be disappointed."

At about six o'clock in the evening, when Wu Tianlin arrived at the Pearl Hall of the Convention and Exhibition Hotel, there were already full of classmates waiting for the banquet. When everyone saw Wu Tianlin's family of four and Yan Xiuli walked into the hall from outside, stood up from the seats, shook hands and greeted Wu Tianlin enthusiastically, and Wu Tianlin also politely, and then walked to the main table in the center of the box. However, when he saw that the old birthday star had not arrived at this time, he asked Gao Yun beside him: "Gao Yun! Why haven't the teacher come yet? Have you arranged someone to pick him up?"
