"Little devil, you are a fifth-grade Taoist and a fairy boy, and you don't mind being embarrassed. How do you behave in public?"
Chu Chen pointed at the kid's head angrily, feeling quite convinced.
Just now, when he was on his way to the Dharma altar, the little devil caught up with him. He ignored the looks of the doctors, instructors and the Taoist disciples who had just been admitted. He kowtowed without saying a word, stretched out his hand to ask for incense, and attracted the attention on the spot. Everyone looked at him.
"Hey hey hey~"
There was no embarrassment on the little kid's face, and he said confidently: "Brother, I am no longer a human being. I can't be a loser. Besides, face is not as important as spiritual fragrance."
Chu Chen laughed dumbly, shook his head, and led the little devil into the altar of inquiry.
Speaking of which, it has been almost a month since he was transferred to Yunzhou. During this period, he has not contacted his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping.
The mountains are high and the roads are far away, thousands of miles away, so communication is not that convenient.
Qingzhou and Yunzhou are tens of thousands of miles apart, and Mengwang cannot contact them. Mengshi has been reduced to a decoration. If he wants to contact the master, he can only use the Xinfake Xiangchuan at the Immortal Court Altar.
Previously, the master and the apprentice were in the same state and county, and with their current status as immortals, they could directly contact each other through the Mountain Chief Order and the Duguan Order.
At present, they belong to two major states and counties, so there is no way to contact them directly.
Chu Chen could only burn incense and play music in a side hall of the palace, and asked the Xianting Center to call his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping.
About half an hour later, I finally contacted someone.
Incense clouds were steaming, and the figure of a middle-aged Taoist priest appeared in front of Chu Chen and Xiao Guizai. He looked dusty. It was obvious that Taoist Master Xu Ping hurried back to the altar from outside after learning the news.
"Master (Master)!"
Chu Chen and Xiao Guizai couldn't help but smile on their faces.
Taoist Master Xu Ping nodded slightly, then his eyes fell on Chu Chen and said with a smile:
"Disciple, how do you feel about your trip to Yunzhou?"
"Master, Guanwai Prefecture is indeed as you said. Demons are raising and selling human races wantonly. The order in the area is chaotic and there are endless fights. It is not easy to open up territory and expand the territory, just like planting trees in the desert."
Taoist priest Xu Ping nodded, the wilderness of the frontier fortress is very different from the middle land.
At that time, he went to Dajiuzhou, but even so, the desolate darkness of the prefectures outside Guanzhou also greatly enriched his knowledge. It was a rare experience in his cultivation career.
"This is how Dajiuzhou came here back then. Take your time."
Taoist priest Xu Ping comforted him and then said with concern:
"Disciple, how are you doing at the Taoist Academy?"
Taoist Xu Ping was worried about Xianting's appointment of his apprentice as the mountain chief of Wanquan Taoist Academy. Although the eldest disciple was very talented, his background was too shallow and he was not enough to take on the position of mountain chief of Bianhuang Prefecture.
"Master, the Wanquan Taoist Academy has set up a stronghold. It is currently recruiting disciples, and the situation is very good."
"That's good. You don't need to be too nervous. It's normal for you to be inferior to other commanders at your young age. Don't worry about gains and losses. Just calm down and work hard for two years. As a teacher, I believe you will definitely be famous and outstanding."
Taoist priest Xu Ping encouraged me, spoke sincerely, and taught me sincerely.
The kid on the side heard this and quickly interjected:
"Sir, it didn't take two years. Senior brother is now very powerful. He is an expert in preaching scriptures. He is now famous in several counties around Wanquan. Countless Taoist friends respect senior brother as a master of classics. They say that senior brother has the bearing of a master. It is said that other county and mountain chiefs are not as good as senior brother. Many monks from other counties traveled across mountains and rivers to come to Wanquan and worship their children into our Taoist temple."
The little devil kept talking, and his words were very proud.
Taoist Xu Ping was slightly dazed. What happened was different from what he imagined.
The apprentice has extremely high attainments in Confucian classics, and as a master, he naturally understands this.
He didn't pay much attention to his eldest disciple's cultivation of Taoism and magical powers. He only paid close attention to the study of Confucian classics for a long time to understand his disciple's level.
The apprentice's attainments in Confucian classics are indeed high, but they are definitely not as good as those of the mountain chief of the County Daoyuan who has been in the fifth-level Taoist practice for many years. Not to mention, the apprentice has little experience in preaching and teaching, so why is he doing so well?
Seeing his master's surprise, Chu Chen immediately smiled and said:
"Master, a few days ago Mr. Ming Jing gave me the annotations on Taoist scriptures from senior masters. I studied the scriptures and occasionally gained some enlightenment. My attainments in classics and alchemy have improved a lot. However, my attainments in classics are inferior to those of other county Taoist priests. , I still lack something.”
Chu Chen is self-aware.
If it were purely about his attainments in Confucian classics, he would definitely not be ranked among the top leaders of Taoist monasteries in the eight counties in the southwest, and he could barely squeeze into the middle level.
However, with the magical power of enlightening Xiaguang's [Heart-telling Divine Transmission], the effect of his preaching is definitely the most powerful, and no one can compare with him.
Taoist Xu Ping didn't know the specific situation. After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, he nodded repeatedly.
"That's right, I feel relieved to hear you say that. If your junior brother and little devil are as worry-free as you, I will be able to enjoy a happy life."
When the little kid heard this, he immediately became unhappy: "Master, what's wrong with me? I made great achievements today. I killed a fifth-grade demon clone and two sixth-grade incarnations of a fifth-grade demon. I'm really awesome."
Taoist priest Xu Ping was surprised: "Just you?"
When the little kid saw this, he became anxious and quickly turned to look at his senior brother.
When Chu Chen saw the kid mention this, the smile on his face disappeared and he became quite serious.
"The little devil is right. It has indeed made great achievements today. Master, do you still remember the soul-stealing bone demon back then?"
He contacted his master today in order to tell him the news that the "soul-stealing bone demon" was still alive. He immediately told the master the cause and effect of the matter, from the little devil's curse to the chance encounter with the bone demon.
After hearing this, Taoist Master Xu Ping sighed:
"It's really not dead yet!"
Although it has been more than four years, Taoist Xu Ping has never let go of it, as if it is a stuck in his throat, for fear that this monster is not dead and will come out again sooner or later to poison all living beings.
Chu Chen also sighed:
"Master, you are right. This soul-stealing white-bone demon has extremely high potential. After four years of training, he has now reached the fifth level of Taoist cultivation. I estimate that his cultivation level is much higher than mine. This cultivation speed is really terrifying."
Taoist Xu Ping and Little Ghost: "."
It's hard for them to accept this.
In terms of the terrifying speed of cultivation, how can the soul-stealing white-bone demon compare to Chu Chen? The key is that the white-bone demon still practices magic skills.
Thinking of this, Taoist Xu Ping was relieved. Their master and apprentice were not slow in their cultivation, especially his own apprentice, who was able to suppress this soul-stealing bone demon.
After thinking about it, Taoist priest Xu Ping said solemnly:
"Disciple, please pay more attention in Yunzhou. This person's soul-stealing magical power is extremely good. If one day she becomes one of the great magical powers, she will be a big disaster. We must kill her before she becomes a powerful person."
Chu Chen nodded and said: "Master, don't worry, I will take this matter to heart. She is the first demon I encountered. Everything has a beginning and an end. I must eradicate it."
"Great kindness!"
Taoist priest Xu Ping nodded with satisfaction. Soon, he remembered something and said:
"By the way, disciple, have you collected all the Millennium Spirit Beans?"
"No, I came across a small batch of Millennium Spirit Beans a few days ago, but it's a pity that I didn't buy them."
Chu Chen answered truthfully, feeling a little surprised as to why the master would talk about this matter.
Taoist priest Xu Ping saw the curiosity on his apprentice's face and smiled:
"Our small sect of Lingshan Sect can't give you much support, but our sect has to show some respect for these thousand-year-old Lingdou. When you have time, go to Jin Chan Bank and take the Lingshan Sect token."
After hearing what his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping said, Chu Chen became more and more curious.
How could the master have the Thousand-Year Spirit Bean in his hand, let alone the Thousand-Year Spirit Bean being deposited in Jin Chan Bank?
After thinking for a moment, Chu Chen had a vague realization and asked:
"Master, is this the work of the Lao Lingshan Sect?"
Taoist Master Xu Ping nodded: "Yes, I entrusted them to collect it for you. You can go to Jinchan Bank to collect it when you have time. I still have something to do here, so I won't talk about it. I will contact you next time if I have something to do."
After saying that, Taoist Xu Ping was afraid that his apprentice would continue to ask questions, so he ran away and disappeared.
The fragrant clouds are still dense, but the figures are empty.
Chu Chen couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he saw his master's back in the fragrant cloud.
Master Xu Ping, Taoist Master, tried his best to avoid any entanglement between Xinlingshan and Laolingshan, and wanted to completely draw a clear line between them.
However, for his sake, the master broke his promise.
"Senior brother, when are we going to Jin Chan Bank to collect the thousand-year-old spirit beans that the master gave you? I heard that Sister Ying'er's business is about to open. Hehehe~ We just go there to feel happy."
The little kid rubbed his hands with longing in his eyes.
Chu Chen was still sighing at first, but when he saw the little devil's appearance, he shook his head and smiled: "You are not feeling happy, you are obviously trying to get some luck."
