If you want to get the best things in the world, you must first let the world see the best version of you.
Today, Liu Yi let Master Ji Rong see the best Liu Yi. In return, I believe Master Ji Rong will give Liu Yi the best treasure.
At this moment, Liu Yi was sitting next to Ji Rong. He didn't care about the bloody pain in his hands. Instead, he smiled at Master Ji Rong, clasped his fists and thanked, "Hahaha! I would like to thank Master for your help."
"Your father is an upright Confucian scholar, how could his son become such a smooth-tongued guy?" Ji Rong raised his eyebrows, flicked his robe sleeves, and looked at Liu Yi with a smile, "It hurts! Don't pretend!" Just now, I tested my courage with blood, do you hate me?"
"Hate, how can you not hate it, but if you want to get it, you have to pay the price. If the master gives you less after a while, I will not do it."
Liu Yi smiled, as smart as a businessman, and bargained with Master Ji Rong.
"Hmph! There are no rules in my small temple. You can drink and eat as you please, come and go as you please, dress as you please, and have any preferences. Only this mysterious tower can be entered by previous hosts."
Ji Rong glared at Liu Yi and said in a low voice, "I have already broken my precepts by letting you come in. Just go have some fun today!"
Liu Yi opened his hands, and the blood stains had solidified. He smiled and said to Ji Rong, "Master, your body, hair, skin, and parents have shed so much blood. It is not cheap. If the master just allows this junior to come and take a look, , this junior will never agree."
Ji Rong pointed to the box placed next to Liu Yi, "There are herbs in it, you can apply it yourself."
Liu Yi took out the herbal medicine and applied it on it, and said to Ji Rong with a smile, "Junior likes the master to give me one sweet date with a slap, but master, I am a greedy person. If you slap me, you have to give three dates." Sweet dates!”
Ji Rong smiled and shook his head, then placed the wine jar on the ground. He looked forward, his center of gravity sank slightly, Xingyun spread his breath, his hands were slightly wrapped back to the base of his palms, his hands fell down, and Baihui point pressed upward. , using the belt hand, at the same time raising the wrists and lowering the elbows, breathing to the back, turning the palms into fists with both hands, and with a thought, he hit the ground with a 'boom', and a hollow soil foundation in the house suddenly emerged from the ground. A thick tree trunk surrounds and reaches the top of the temple.
After a while, the thick trunk occupied half of the space inside the tower.
Looking at the stepped trees, Liu Yi secretly sighed in his heart: There are real people hidden in the mountains, and divine monks in ruined temples. There are too many masters in the world who do not want to serve as officials and choose to live in seclusion all their lives!
Ji Rong waved his hands and said to Liu Yi, "Little donor, please!"
Liu Yi nodded to Master Ji Rong and climbed up the steps.
As he walked, he slowly looked at the furnishings in the Xuanji Tower. He saw that the Xuanji Tower was quaint and simple, with no unnecessary items. There was only a straw futon on each floor and several bookshelves against the wall. The bookshelves were filled with books. Ancient books and treasures are not uncommon.
The two of them climbed up the tree ladder. The layers were as plain as water. This aroused Liu Yi's curiosity. He was very much looking forward to what kind of treasure Master Ji Rong would give him. Is it a lost Buddhist scripture? Or a valuable cassock?
It wasn't until we reached the seventh floor that there was a slight change in the house. There were no bookshelves on this floor, but there were four square boxes on the floor, plus four straw futons, and it was completely empty.
It is not difficult to guess that the contents of these four boxes must all be priceless treasures.
The four futons made of Suga sat there quietly, as if they had been waiting for the arrival of the two of them. When they saw the four boxes, they smiled bitterly and motioned for Liu Yi to sit down.
As soon as the two sat across from each other, Ji Rong took out two pills from his arms and threw them to Liu Yi.
Liu Yi swallowed the pill without even asking what it was. A wave of heat instantly filled Liu Yi's body. He exhaled comfortably, and the pain in his hand was greatly relieved.
Liu Yi cast a grateful look at Ji Rong.
Ji Rong nodded slightly and chatted, "Little donor, do you know how many people there are in Chisong? How much food is produced annually? Do you know how many rivers there are in Chisong?"
Liu Yi has never calculated the population of Chisong, so he can only make a rough estimate. He has doubts, "Chisong has five mountains, eighteen villages, thirty-six hills, plus Fuyu City, there are hundreds of thousands of people? As for the grain production and the population of Chisong County, As for rivers, this junior really doesn’t know!”
Ji Rong stretched out his big hand like a bear's paw and fiddled with the gauze that had just been wrapped around his hand for Liu Yi. Then he patted Liu Yi's shoulder lightly and said, "The little donor is joking, Chisong County is barren." If there is no food, according to the rule that there are thousands of households in the mountains, hundreds of households in the villages, and dozens of households in the hills, the total number of households in the county must be only 50,000!"
Liu Yi was a little surprised, "The population is so thin? It's not even as large as our Huaxing County!"
"There is no grass for horses. It is very difficult for a family to raise a son in this barren and barren land. Although the local accent is hard to find, people have to live well, right? In recent years, many people have left their hometowns and never returned. ,more and more."
“Even my wine cellar in Hanfeng Temple has not been replenished for many years!”
Ji Rong smiled helplessly, clasped his hands in respect, and blurted out the smell of alcohol, "When I think about it, my heart becomes pure, and lotus blossoms bloom everywhere. It's hard to find, but it's easy to get, but don't ask for it. If you're greedy, angry, and crazy, you'll fall into reincarnation forever!"
Liu Yi felt deeply that Ji Rong was by no means a dissolute monk who only knew how to drink and eat meat, so he tried to persuade him, "The younger generation is not good at learning, and only has a brief understanding of the three teachings and nine streams. However, Buddhism has always emphasized 'cutting off all evils, practicing all good deeds, and reciting the Buddha's name with a pure mind. ’, Master, why don’t you come out of this world to benefit the people of Chisong?”
"I was also born, but in the end I came back in embarrassment." Ji Rong glanced deeply at Liu Yi, "Little donor, would you like to listen to my chatter? Listen to my story?"
Liu Yi sat upright with a solemn expression, "Master, please teach me. I am willing to listen attentively!"
Ji Rong was about to speak, then smiled and shook his head, glanced at the position of the small window, and smiled without saying a word.
Just when Liu Yi was confused by Ji Rong's move, there was a sudden noise downstairs.
Rapid bang-dang-dang, bang-dang-dang sounds came from far to near. Within a few breaths, the little girl Qiao Miaoqing appeared in front of the two of them with a sweaty neck and rosy cheeks. Her firm breasts wrapped in a skirt were rising and falling. , just like the Jade Rabbit rising in the east.
Liu Yi and Ji Rong looked at each other and swallowed in unison.
The two of them looked at each other, not wanting to sit down and talk for a while!
Qiao Miaoqing didn't care about that. When she saw Liu Yi's hands bandaged, she stepped forward and shined a light on Ji Rong's bald head. She scolded in a sweet voice, "Old bald donkey, I've seen you are nothing. You are carrying a jar of wine in broad daylight." You are wandering around, acting hooliganly, and you dare to bully my little Yinglong. I will chop off your head with a sword first, and then burn your temple!"
As Qiao Miaoqing and Liu Yi gradually became familiar with each other, Xiaojiao Niang developed an indescribable affection for Liu Yi. Qiao Miaoqing would be extremely concerned about anything involving Liu Yi. All of Qiao Miaoqing's emotions followed Liu Yi's. It changed with her mood, and she couldn't figure out why.
Perhaps, time will give the answer.
No, just when Liu Yi was climbing along the branch, Qiao Miaoqing, who was drinking tea in the house, became inexplicably flustered. She immediately threw her hands and went out, looking for traces. When she saw the blood stains under the tower, she became even more anxious. What's more, he climbed up the tower desperately. When he saw Ji Rong, he raised his sword and stabbed him out.
Liu Yi saw the little girl jumping up from behind him, swinging out the bamboo sword. Just as he was about to swing it at Ji Rong, a strong breath suddenly blew out. Liu Yi only had to open and close his eyes, Ji Rong's His hand was already strangling Qiao Miaoqing's sword-wielding wrist like a cloud and moon. Qiao Miaoqing tried hard to break free, but she couldn't move at all.
Concern leads to chaos. Liu Yi hurriedly stood up, held Ji Rong's arm, and said with a smile, "Great work, master, we are willing to be inferior, we are willing to be inferior!"
Master Ji Rong smiled and said to Qiao Miaoqing, "This female donor, we have something to discuss. Buddhism is a pure place. Please don't get angry."
After saying that, Ji Rong immediately let go. Qiao Miaoqing knew she was outmatched, so she pouted playfully and turned to look at Liu Yi. When she saw Liu Yi winking and letting her futon out, she sheathed her sword and knelt down knowingly. , said to Ji Rong angrily, "I told you earlier that you were a martial artist, I would have sat down earlier! I blame you, I blame you!"
Ji Rong laughed loudly, "The female donor is quick to speak, and chivalrous in the world. This is the style of the children of the world!"
Qiao Miaoqing felt she had lost face, Xiaojiazi looked out the window angrily, ignored Ji Rong and Liu Yi, and stopped talking.
Liu Yi smiled awkwardly and lowered his head slightly, "You're causing trouble for Master!"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The little benefactor has been tired all the way, so the old monk had better get rid of the trouble as soon as possible so that the little benefactor can rest easily."
Master Ji Rong pondered for a while, and when his emotions reached the peak of his emotions, he looked a little deep, "Let's continue the topic just now, the old monk was originally from Beigu, and his parents did not survive the catastrophe, so they died!"
Oops, the people sitting in front of Liu Yi and Qiao Miaoqing are actually Beijue people who have successfully survived the catastrophe and evoked their clan seals. According to the information that the two of them had learned before, no Beijue people have been able to successfully survive the tribulation. .
This, this is incredible!
At this time, Liu Yi and Qiao Miaoqing straightened their backs, raised their ears, and became attentive.
Amidst the surprises of the two people, Master Ji Rong slowly started, "I have a master, well, let's call him a master! Very powerful, very powerful. Let's put it this way, if he hadn't died back then, he would be the best in the world today. Those who have mastered the mysteries and become saints will definitely have their place."
Ji Rong gradually fell into memories, frowning slightly, "When I was seven or eight years old, my master saw that I was lonely, so he took me to Hanfeng Temple, taught me literature, treated me like a son, and told me to grow up. I will repay the blessings to the people of Chisong later."
Master Ji Rong was in a state of confusion, "Hahaha, at that time, I was extremely stubborn and believed that I could not survive the catastrophe. How could I believe in Master's so-called benevolence and morality? I thought these were all nonsense at the time, so I ate all day long. After drinking enough and doing nothing, after three years of recuperation, I finally couldn't bear the loneliness and sneaked into this mysterious tower quietly, stole two secret books and some money, and escaped overnight."
Liu Yi and Qiao Miaoqing looked at each other in disbelief. The little girl spoke unabashedly and said, "I didn't expect it! Master was also a romantic figure when he was young!"
Ji Rong chuckled and continued, "After I got the secret book, I ran away to a foreign country. The master did not chase me. I found a place. With the strong physique of the Beijiao people, I learned the secret book of Thousand Tathagatas in less than half a year. After that, I traveled around the rivers and lakes of Saibei, eating and drinking. Before I could reach the top, I entered the realm of pushing monuments. I can say without boasting that at that time, even if I was not a human being, I He may be a middle-aged man, but he can also be called a young talent.”
Liu Yi did not respond, but Qiao Miaoqing nodded seriously. Above the Han people, those who could enter the realm of pushing monuments at a young age are indeed considered to be among the best.
Ji Rong smiled shyly, grinned bitterly, and continued, "When I was about to reach the age of weak crown, the master found me and said that 'he has set up a peerless formation in Hanfeng Temple, which will definitely save my life', and asked me to return with him . I refused, but this old stubborn man subdued me three times and tied me back."
"My birthday is actually the death anniversary of my master. I! I still remember that day, when the sky was covered with dark clouds and a thick thunder struck from the sky. The master used his body to fight for me three times, and finally died after exhausting all his thoughts. There seemed to be tears in the corners of Ji Rong's eyes, and he let out a long sigh, "Before he passed away, the master said that it is better to save others than to save oneself. His abilities are limited. If he can save one, then it is just one!"
Alas, Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so where can it cause dust?
