Volume 1: Shining Mountains and Rivers Chapter 34 Five Senior Brothers
Early in the morning, Ji Yuan woke up from his sleep, rubbed his face that remained sleepy, got up and dressed neatly, and sat down at the wooden table.
He first poured himself a cup of cold tea, and after the cold tea entered his throat, he was sober.
I've been running around these days, first going to a distant town to do things, and then encountering the Falling Soul Slope Accident, just returned to Qianyu City before I had time to rest, I was invited to the Zhao family's mansion.
Because of this, despite resting all night, Ji Yuan still felt a little uncomfortable, and there was indescribable fatigue on his body.
"But although I was a little tired, the harvest was still good."
He put down his teacup and looked at the few objects on the table, and he couldn't help but smile.
In the harvest these days, in addition to the white jade sword in the Purple Mansion in the center of the eyebrows, he also got a magic weapon in extremely good condition, as well as more than two hundred taels of gold.
Not to mention an ordinary family, even if it is placed among monks, this is also a rich family foundation.
While calculating the gains and losses, he fell his gaze on the wooden basin on the table, the three Sancai treasure coins in it, as well as the bronze oil lamp magic vessel, after soaking in the spiritual water overnight, at this time the spiritual energy had been completely restored, and there was even some surplus.
On the four objects, at this time, they are emitting a little spiritual light, and they are absorbing the spiritual water that does not have much spiritual energy left, and they are accumulating some pure spiritual energy.
After observing for a while, Ji Yuan moved his gaze to the side, and after opening the old small medicine box, he revealed the gold ingots and gold ingots that were messily placed inside.
The two add up to two hundred and seventy-six taels, which is a wealth that ordinary people can hardly accumulate in their lifetime, even for monks, if there is no windfall, it still takes more than ten years to accumulate it.
The repair of the three treasures, as well as the cost of the bronze oil lamp to replenish the aura, are only equivalent to more than ten or twenty taels of gold.
In the Dayu Dynasty, two or three copper coins were enough to buy a large meat bun with thin skin and many fillings, and ordinary people only earned two or three yuan a month.
One or two official snowflake pattern silver is enough for a family of ordinary people to spend a year, and if you save a little, you can't say that you can still have some money left.
Even if Ji Yuan usually alchemizes, ordinary pills can only earn a few taels of snowflake silver after the cost is removed in one furnace, and only the kind of precious pills that are not suitable for refining and are extremely scarce and scarce can earn thirty or forty taels in one furnace.
And one or two pure gold, but enough to exchange for about a hundred taels of snowflake silver, the little Taoist has to refine hundreds of furnaces of pills without fail, it is possible to earn more than two hundred taels of gold.
As soon as he thought of this, Ji Yuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this is the benefit of a big family, and it can be easily earned, and ordinary people can't even dream of it.
I don't know when the Xuantian Temple will also have such a huge industry, and if you don't walk around while sitting in the temple, you will be able to have a lot of money into your pocket.
Thinking about it, the little Taoist priest couldn't help laughing, as if he had seen the future Xuantian Temple, and like some famous factions, he could sit on several big mountains and hold countless money-making industries, and he could enter the account every day, every month, every year.
"Senior brother! Little junior brother! β
Outside the door of the house, a deep shout came, interrupting the little Taoist's fantasy.
Ji Yuan wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and with a slight wave of his sleeve robe, a white jade flying sword flew out from the center of his eyebrows, and after hovering on the table, he collected most of the gold before returning to the Purple Mansion.
Closing the lid of the medicine box containing the remaining thirty taels of gold, he opened the door of the house, and then saw a young Taoist standing outside the door with a smile on his face.
"Fifth Senior Brother, why did you come to call me early in the morning?"
After seeing the young Taoist outside the door, Ji Yuan's face was suddenly full of smiles.
In the Xuantian Temple, he ranked ninth, and there were eight senior brothers in front of him, the eldest senior brother was thirty-four years old this year, and the youngest eighth senior brother besides him was also twenty-two years old.
Among the eight senior brothers, he belongs to the fifth senior brother in front of him, and he has the best relationship with him, and it can even be said that he was taken care of by the fifth senior brother and grew up.
During those years, the older brother had to follow the master out to do things, so as to earn some money to subsidize the use of the view, and the younger brother was still a child himself.
So the fifth senior brother, who was exactly seventeen years old at the time and was still a teenager, took on the responsibility of taking care of the younger brother.
"Didn't I hear Master say last night, Senior Brother, you have returned to Guanzhong?"
Fifth Senior Brother Guo Tao smiled innocently, leaning over his tall figure, scratching the back of his head: "But it was late last night, so I didn't come to disturb the little junior brother to rest." β
He did not hide the concern in his eyes, this time the little junior brother went out alone and went to a small town hundreds of miles away to do things, but he was worried for several days, and he was afraid that there would be some accidents.
Fortunately, the little junior brother is now intact and standing in front of him, and the heart that has been hanging for many days can finally fall to the ground safely.
"Senior brother, I'm not as weak as you think!"
Ji Yuan complained angrily, and after looking at the sky, he turned to the stove room to prepare breakfast.
Ever since he embarked on the path of cultivation, the three meals a day in the Xuantian Temple have basically been handled by him.
The fifth senior brother Guo Tao has been following behind him, and he has not said a word, the trivial things in these days, as well as the miscellaneous things in the county.
He didn't feel annoyed when he heard it, and occasionally answered a few times, but he was definitely not allowed to help the fifth senior brother.
It is also strange to say that Guo Tao, who has obviously taken care of some of his juniors and younger brothers, has not made any progress in cooking, and the things he makes are only guaranteed to be eaten.
As for the taste, just look at the skills from the sixth senior brother to his youngest junior brother, who have practiced the skills of being a chef in a street restaurant, and you can roughly know something.
"Little junior brother, do you say that I am still in a hurry to practice martial arts now?"
Guo Tao's face suddenly darkened, and he asked in a somewhat hesitant tone.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan stopped what he was doing, and looked up at the fifth senior brother suspiciously, as if he didn't understand why the other party suddenly wanted to practice martial arts.
"If Senior Brother just wants to practice a one-and-a-half-move, it will never be too late, but if he wants to become a martial artist, it will be really too late."
He brewed his rhetoric a little, trying not to hit his senior brother too much.
If you want to become a martial artist and embark on the road of martial arts, you often need to start refining your muscles and bones from a young age.
Not to mention a person who has never cultivated before, suddenly wants to practice martial arts in his twenties, it is almost impossible to achieve any results.
It often takes several times or even more than ten times the hard work, and if there is a lot of money thrown into it regardless of the cost, it is very likely that you will not even be able to hear the sound.
However, Ji Yuan had already made up his mind, if the fifth senior brother really wanted to practice martial arts, even if he took out dozens of taels of gold, he would smash it out of a flesh realm.
"Fifth Senior Brother, why do you suddenly want to practice martial arts?"
But before that, he still has to ask clearly, otherwise if he is not careful, he will be wrong, and he will probably do something bad with good intentions.
Guo Tao was tall, just squatting could be about the same height as Ji Yuan, he scratched the back of his head, and after laughing twice, he called a few of their apprentices from the master last night, and then talked about it in detail.
The general content is their own masters, asking them if they are willing to try to embark on the path of cultivation and become a monk who asks about immortality.
It's just that it is a little different from other senior brothers, Guo Tao did not agree with joy, but with a bitter face, he asked the master if he could not take the path of cultivation, but let him practice martial arts.
"Isn't it good to be a monk, in the future, you will be able to live forever, and after you have achieved success, you will be able to enjoy the world."
Ji Yuan tilted his head, puzzled by his senior brother's thoughts.
But they ignore that not everyone can become a monk, and if they can't become enlightened, they will stop talking about everything.
Guo Tao sighed, and said with a worried face: "What is asking about immortality, what is the world, those are too far and too far, senior brother, this person has no great ambitions, I just want to know some martial arts, in the future, junior brother, when you go out again, you can follow you to protect you, and you will not be harmed by the bad people on the rivers and lakes." β
He smiled as he spoke, and the thought of that scene made him feel very satisfied.
Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment, he thought about what the fifth senior brother might say, but he didn't expect that the other party would think about this matter.
"Little junior brother, you've actually become a monk a long time ago, right?"
Guo Tao turned his head and said with a smile on his face: "I heard that Mr. Storyteller said that the legendary great monks who are like immortals will be accompanied by powerful martial artists and guard them when they cast spells. β
This tall and somewhat naΓ―ve fifth senior brother, the idea in his head has always been very simple, that is, to protect the junior brother who has grown up since childhood.
Ji Yuan didn't say anything more, turned his head and continued to prepare today's breakfast, but his movements were much lighter than before, and he hummed a big tune that he had heard since he was a child.
In my impression, this is a tune that the fifth senior brother often hums several times when he coaxes them.
"In Xia Zhao Yuanfeng, I have seen two Taoist masters."
After a while, Ji Yuan's expression suddenly moved, and he subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw a young man walking from the direction of the main hall with two men and two women.
The man named Zhao Yuanfeng smiled apologetically at the two people in the room: "I saw the door of the Taoist temple open, so I took the initiative and walked in, and I ask you to forgive me." β
