Volume 1: Illuminating Mountains and Rivers Chapter 27 Master and Apprentice Talk
Ji Yuan complained that his luck was too thick, and sighed for a while, then he sat up straight and picked up the iron card on the table.
The token engraved with 'Xuantian Ten' seems to be made of pig iron, but in fact, it is as warm as jade, and the rust on the surface feels like dead wood.
He just held the token in his hand, as if he sensed the cause and effect in the dark, and he already had some decision in his heart.
After a long ring, he put the token in his arms, and then glanced at the sky, and staggered to the stove, and began to prepare the luncheon.
Because several senior brothers went out early in the morning to go to the countryside near the county seat to do business, this lunch was also easy to make.
The rice used for cooking rice is the spiritual rice of the monks, although it is only the inferior, but it still contains a little spiritual energy, and there is no half of impurities and turbidity, and eating it for a long time can not only warm the body, but also improve one's own cultivation.
After washing the spiritual rice again, Ji Yuan also cut a few slices of bacon and put them on the spiritual rice to steam together.
This bacon is also taken from captive spirit animals, which not only contain aura, but also have a little qi and blood remaining.
After thinking about it, he washed a few more handfuls of wild vegetables, all of which were medicinal herbs picked in the mountains, although they did not contain aura, but the medicinal properties were mild and nourishing, and they could strengthen the essence of Peiyuan and thicken the essence in the body.
After a lunch is prepared, the ingredients used are all good, not to mention ordinary people, even if they are well-off, it is difficult to enjoy them for a long time.
If it is converted into silver, this meal will cost at least nearly thirty taels of silver, and it is only the share of the master and apprentice, and if several senior brothers are usually there, it will have to be at least doubled or two.
Thanks to the Xuantianguan Patriarch, the book of the Great Dao Brochure left behind, as well as the brass Dan furnace he picked up in the stove room, allowed him to practice alchemy and become a genuine Dan Master.
Otherwise, Ji Yuan really can't afford this daily expense.
After a stick of incense, the old man holding the Taoist scripture smelled the fragrance and came to the stove room, sat at the dining table and watched his little apprentice work.
When two large bowls of spiritual rice covered with bacon and a plate of stir-fried wild vegetables were served, the old man who had forgotten to eat breakfast couldn't wait to move his chopsticks and eat a small half bowl of rice and a piece of bacon in three or two clicks.
"I'm going to go back and teach a few of your senior brothers the mantra of enlightenment, and see if they can successfully become enlightened and embark on the path of cultivation from now on."
The old Taoist priest said inarticulate while pulling the spiritual rice in the bowl.
In the past, he thought that when Xuantian Guan reached this generation, it should be over, and it would be over, and it was not a matter for people to stare at it every day.
Don't look at the decline of the Xuantian Temple, even the monks have not appeared for several generations, in fact, some of the enemies back then, as well as several other forces, will take a few glances at this small hall if they have nothing to do.
In history, the Xuantian Temple has not appeared, and there are people with amazing talents in cultivation, but they either encounter accidents when they go out, or the last certain forces use various means to return to their own doors to cultivate.
It is precisely because of this that the old Taoist priest only teaches the skill of catching ghosts and driving away evil spirits, and never teaches the enlightenment mantra of Xuantianguan from generation to generation, as well as the basically dilapidated Taoist scriptures in the house, with several other apprentices.
It's just that the old man himself didn't expect that the youngest apprentice would just read two Taoist scriptures without the condition of enlightenment formula, and then enlightened himself and embarked on the path of cultivation.
This kind of talent, even if he has been studying for decades, he still has not been able to become a monk, but he can also see how amazing it is.
Even if it is placed in the real big faction, it is enough to be cultivated as a descendant, and it is not expected to be among the land immortals in the future.
"I've been hiding it for so many years, why do you suddenly want to take it out?"
Ji Yuan glanced up at the old man and asked casually.
At this time, most of his mind was still immersed in how to complete this transaction with Jiuxuanmen just right.
It is best to get enough benefits without causing trouble, and to put an end to cause and effect.
"Since you don't want to go to the Nine Xuanmen, you don't want to go to other sects anymore."
The old man put down the already empty dishes and chopsticks, and couldn't help but sigh: "In this way, you must have someone around you who can help you and be at ease enough." ”
Even if it is a mountain and a wild cultivator, he will call friends and friends outside, and it is indispensable to accept some disciples and servants inside, and there are almost few monks, who will really be alone.
As long as you are in the world and world, there will always be some things to think about, and there are trusted people around you, so you can share some of them, and you don't have to do everything yourself, wasting precious years of cultivation.
"This is somewhat unfair to a few senior brothers."
Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then said sullenly.
Hearing this, the old Taoist priest smiled, he was a little hesitant before, but when he saw the little apprentice's look, he began to strengthen his thoughts.
He pondered for a moment before he said slowly: "This is not fair or unfair, this matter is beneficial to you, and it is a blessing for them, if you can embark on the path of cultivation, there is no need to say that there are all kinds of benefits." ”
Even if it is just an enlightenment realm, it can make people live for more than ten or twenty years, and if they can cultivate mana, all kinds of divine channel methods can be used, which can be regarded as out of the realm of mortals.
For ordinary people, it is indeed a great blessing.
"Master has no ability, he can't leave any family foundation, if your senior brothers, if someone can be enlightened, in the future, the senior brothers will be able to walk the path of cultivation together, and they will be able to support each other to some extent."
The old man shook his head, his expression couldn't help but be a little emotional, and after saying these words, he silently got up and went back to the room.
In fact, he held back a sentence in his heart, what was really unfair was actually this youngest apprentice.
If one or two of those disciples were really able to become enlightened, they would have to bear Ji Yuan's blessings on the path of cultivation, and they would only be able to play the role of a housekeeper at most, and they might not even be able to do it.
Because of Ji Yuan's talent, he is destined to go far in the future and become a great cultivator, and in any sect, he is enough to be qualified as an elder of the inner sect.
On the contrary, the other disciples of the old Taoist priest, even if they can get away with enlightenment, their future achievements will be extremely limited, after all, their Xuantian Temple is not a great sect of luck, and it is already exhausted to have a Ji Yuan, and the luck accumulated in one or two hundred years.
In this way, how could there be a few more disciples with great talents?
After sweeping away the food on the table, Ji Yuan scratched his head, in fact, he understood what his master meant, and he didn't have the slightest complaint in his heart.
If he could, he wished that his master and several senior brothers would be enlightened overnight and embark on the path of cultivation.
With his current alchemy, coupled with his own heavy blessings, he can fully afford to raise the entire Taoist temple, and from then on, several masters and apprentices will participate in the Great Dao of Enlightenment together.
It's a pity that this is just my own extravagant hope!
"Trail Chief! Trail Leader! ”
When Ji Yuan got up and was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, a voice full of anxiety came from afar.
He hurried out of the stove room, and before he could go to the main hall, he saw a young man dressed as a servant, galloping all the way from outside.
Such a movement naturally alarmed the old man, standing at the door of the house and quietly watching the scene in the small courtyard.
The identity of his own little apprentice, Danshi, is not a secret in Qianyu City, and some Jianghu sects, as well as wealthy and noble families, basically know about it.
In the past, there were often people who came to the door to ask for help, so at this moment the old man is not surprised.
"Are you from the Zhao family?"
Glancing at the clothes on the other party's body, Ji Yuandang recognized the identity of this person.
The visitor nodded, wiped the sweat from his face with his cuffs, probably because he ran too hard before, and at this time, he couldn't even say a complete sentence while panting.
After a long while, the servant said intermittently: "The little one is called Zhao Shengcai, is it...... It's a servant of the Zhao family! ”
"Head of the house...... Let me ask for the trailmaster...... Go and help! ”
