Volume 1 Uncle Nine's World Chapter 37 Master Ikkyu
Looking at the twenty gold bars in front of him, Simu couldn't help but feel a little dry in the mouth. You know, although Simu has some extra money now, he has not yet accumulated a box of gold bars.
For Simu, the impact of twenty gold bars was still too great.
"Jia Le, did you rob a bank?"
Jia Le was speechless when he heard this, "Master, our Maoshan has its own rules, and I dare not do that."
Jiale then told the story about Taoist Qian. After he finished, Jiale clearly felt that Taoist Simu was relieved.
"I was shocked. So, this is all the money you earned from cleaning up the family business. Not bad, not bad. Twenty gold bars, enough for you to marry twenty wives."
Jiale looked at Simu suspiciously, "Master, you were not thinking about clearing the door just now, were you?"
Simu's eyelids jumped when he heard that, and he immediately shook his hands to deny it, "Of course not, how could I not believe you?"
But he really felt that way in his heart. Simu had just been struggling with his thoughts. After all, he was reluctant to let go of such a talented disciple.
Jiale didn't care and took out the notebook from the box and handed it to Simu, "Master, I learned the Five Thunder Talismans and Maoshan Fire Technique from this notebook."
Hearing this, Simu picked up the notebook and flipped through it, a little surprised, "You learned the Five Thunder Talismans and Maoshan Fire Technique just by reading the notebook?"
Everyone could not help but be amazed. If it were him, let alone learning the Five Thunder Talismans and Maoshan Fire Technique by relying on notes, he would not be able to learn them in such a short time even if he had a master to teach him.
"What else do you want?"
Yes, what else can we do? Our disciples have always been so talented.
"Ahem, alright, alright, Master Jin Tiao will collect the gold for you. You can use it when you get married. It's not safe for a child to have so much money."
Jiale didn't have any objection. He had originally planned to handle it this way. There was no use for him to have so much money, so he would definitely give it to Simu for safekeeping.
But forget about getting a wife. He is already practicing Taoism, so why does he need a wife? At his current speed, he will probably break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm at Simu's age. By then, he will be over sixty, but will still look like he is in his teens or twenties, while his wife will be so old. How can they live like that?
Nothing happened overnight.
The next day, Jiale got up early to practice. In the yard, Jiale had already sunk into an unknown space. Thirteen blue energy beads were floating in front of Jiale.
Thirteen pieces!
Jia Le felt excited. This should be the spoils of last night. The thirteen energy beads were all quite large. The largest one was even bigger than the one Taoist Qian had. If he could absorb all the thirteen energy beads, maybe Jia Le could directly condense twelve essences and prepare to break through to the Qi Transformation Realm.
Thinking of this, Jiale couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the yellow fox, what a good guy.
He started with the smaller ones, and absorbed four in a row. Jiale was about to break through after absorbing the energy beads from Taoist Qian and Bai Jiang. With these four, the energy required for the eleventh essence was finally enough.
In half a day, Jiale absorbed all the energy, and the eleventh essence was successfully condensed.
Looking at the remaining nine energy beads, Jiale felt even happier.
"Master, I'm going to the mountain to catch some fish and make you a feast today."
Simu had just finished training, and was immediately delighted when he heard Jiale's words. Not to mention, he couldn't stand not having eaten the food cooked by Jiale for a month.
"Be careful."
Jiale had already run out with a shoulder pole and a bucket, and when he came back, he had just fetched two more buckets of water.
Although Yuyin Mountain is not a big mountain, it has dense trees, gurgling streams, and an abundance of fish, shrimp, and game. Some medicinal herbs can also be found on the mountain. This is why Simu built the yard here. Live by the mountain and eat the food. If you want to eat something, just go up the mountain and find it.
This is not the first or second time that Jiale has fished, and he doesn’t need any tools.
Looking at the gurgling stream in front of him , Jiale dived into it, flipped his hands a few times, and caught two fish.
After catching some more shrimps, Jiale stopped.
After filling the water cup and returning to the yard, I found an old monk standing at the door.
"Master, what are you doing?"
Hearing the sound, the old monk turned to look at Jiale. His eyes first fixed on the fish and shrimp in Jiale's bucket, and his brows unconsciously frowned.
"Donor, fish and shrimp are also living things. Killing them like this is really against the harmony of nature. How about releasing them?"
Jiale was speechless when he heard that. He was a grown-up, but how could he speak so poorly? It’s ok for a monk not to eat meat, but why do you have to control what other people eat?
I suddenly didn't want to pay any attention to him and opened the door and went into the yard.
Seeing Jiale's attitude, the old monk was a little at a loss, "Wait, benefactor, I'm here to beg for alms, can you give me some?"
Jiale was also happy when he heard this, and turned to look at the old monk, "It's not fate, but Xiaodao is about to cook, and there are plenty of fish and shrimp, why don't we eat together?"
The old monk was speechless after hearing this. He shook his head and was about to turn around and leave.
"Jia Le, who are you talking to?"
Simu heard the voice and saw the old monk at a glance. He frowned and walked to the door.
"Qi Refining Realm, I wonder which temple this master is from, what's his name?"
Jia Le was also shocked when he heard this. The old monk in front of him was actually in the Qi Refining Stage. He couldn't see anything just now and thought the old monk was an ordinary person.
The old monk also stopped when he heard this.
"Master, I am right. I am a monk from Kaifu Temple and I am not worthy of the title of master."
Ikkyu!
Jiale was shocked again when he heard that. The monk in front of him turned out to be Ikkyu. After traveling through time, he had never paid much attention to him and even forgot that Simu would have a monk as his neighbor in the future.
Is this the fate that is established now?
But thinking about the love-hate scenes between the two in the movie, Jia Le couldn't help but shudder. Even if the two were destined to be together, it was probably a bad fate.
However, this monk’s background is quite remarkable.
Among Taoism, Longhu Mountain, Maoshan Mountain, Gezhao Mountain, Shenxiao School and so on are famous.
The power of Buddhism is also considerable. Famen Temple, White Horse Temple, Lingyin Temple, Hanshan Temple, etc. are no less powerful than Maoshan Temple. The Kaifu Temple mentioned by Ikkyu is the largest Buddhist force in Xiangzhou. Although it is not as powerful as the previous temples, it is not much different.
Simu's attitude became much better after hearing this. "So it's Master Ikkyu of Kaifu Temple. Master, what are you doing?"
"I am here to beg for alms."
Begging for alms!
Simu smiled when he heard this, it was a small matter, "Jia Le, go get some vegetarian food for Master Ikkiu."
Although Taoism and Buddhism dislike each other, they are still very harmonious on the surface. Ikkyu has the strength of the Qi Refining Realm, so he is just begging for alms and helping them.
After hearing Simu's words, Jiale went straight into the house, took out some vegetarian food and handed it to Yixiu.
Ikkyu looked at Jiale, then looked at the fish and shrimp in Jiale's bucket. He wanted to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he didn't bother himself anymore.
"Thank you, both Taoist priests!"
Seeing Yixiu leave so obediently, Jiale was a little surprised. Was there something wrong? Why did he just leave? Didn’t they want to be neighbors?
In the blink of an eye, another three days had passed.
Ikkyu actually came back again, "Master, are you here to beg for alms again?"
Ikkiu shook his head and said, "No, I see that this place is beautiful and I want to be neighbors with you two Taoist priests."
