"I'm so stupid, really. I just knew that it was snowy and wild beasts had no food in the mountains, so they would come to the village. Uh, no, I just knew that monkeys would steal peaches, and I let monkeys come to see the peaches!"
The empty door space of eternal life, under the peach tree.
Cao Yi looked at the empty peach tree and muttered to himself.
When he returned to the Taoist Temple from the Demon Locking Tower just now, he had an impromptu idea to see what scraps of supplies were left in the Gate of Eternal Life space, but it turned out that it didn't matter.
The peach tree, which obviously still had a few peaches, became bare, like a peerless beauty whose hair had been shaved off.
The little Snow Monkey, who was left by him to guard the flat peach tree at the Gate of Eternal Life, Xiao Tian and King Ginseng, had just finished eating the flat peach with expressions of enjoyment on their faces.
"Taoist Master, it's like this. You pumped the spiritual energy too hard before. The severely damaged Peach Tree thought that you didn't care about her life and death and decided to be reborn. In order to express her gratitude to us for taking care of her these days, she gave up the remaining The flat peaches were given to us. I originally wanted to wait for the Taoist priest to come back before talking about it, but I didn’t expect that the little snow monkey couldn’t help but eat it. In order to prevent all your anger from being poured out on him alone, I gritted my teeth and ate it.”
King Shen's tone was full of necessity.
Just like in some movies, the male protagonist, who is not close to women and has extremely upright views, has no choice but to do that in order to save the heroine who has fallen in love with Haru.
"That being said, you are quite loyal."
Cao Yi said with a smile.
King Shen wiped the sweat from his head with his roots and said without changing his expression: "The Taoist Master is so complimentary. I am so many years older than them, so I should share some of their mistakes with them."
You are said to be fat, but you are still out of breath!
"Do you want Pindao to give you an award?"
There was a hint of coldness in Cao Yi's smile.
"There is no need to award awards"
When King Shen spoke, his body trembled uncontrollably.
This was the first time that the Taoist Master spoke to him in this tone since he followed him.
Cao Yi turned to look at the uneasy Xiaotian and asked, "What about you? You also had to eat it to share Pindao's anger."
Xiao Tian was worthy of being born in Erha. Even if he changed several times, he could not change his inner nature. He gave up on the spot and fell to the ground, "Taoist Master, I was wrong, don't slap me in the face."
God, please don’t slap me in the face!
Cao Yi was a little dumbfounded.
With two thumps, Little Snow Monkey and King Ginseng all fell to the ground.
Xiao Tian, who had followed Tao for the longest time, even knelt down. How dare they not kneel down.
Cao Yi ignored them, walked to the bare peach tree, put his hand on it, and channeled part of the spiritual energy that he had little physical strength into.
After a while, the peach tree didn't respond at all, and it seemed that it was really dead.
Cao Yi didn't believe that the peach tree died so easily, so he increased the input of spiritual energy, and more than three or four hours passed like this.
Finally, Peach Tree had a vague response.
Cao Yi felt relieved. With a thought, the world changed and he returned to the Taoist temple.
Looking at the three little guys he brought out with him, Cao Yi said with a majestic expression: "From now on, you will leave the Taoist temple and go out to search for heavenly materials and earthly treasures. You will meet at the King's Capital in Nanzhao in a month."
Little Snow Ape, King Shen, and Xiao Tian all breathed a sigh of relief.
They looked at each other and said in unison: "Yes"
Cao Yi stopped caring about them and went straight into the temple.
Little Snow Monkey, King Shen, and Xiao Tian stood up and bowed to the temple, and then left the Taoist temple together.
In the shrine.
Cao Yi put his hands on his forehead, as if in deep thought.
In the past two worlds, he has been constantly involved in the plot and left many things behind.
For example, the treatment of Celestial Master Ren Qing and Cui Wenzi.
For example, he has too many shortcomings in learning.
Just when Cao Yi was thinking about where to start first.
Lin Yueru's voice sounded in the sea of consciousness: "Taoist Master, can you let us out?"
I almost forgot about these two!
Cao Yi had a thought, and Lin Yueru and Liu Jinyuan appeared in the room.
Lin Yueru was okay, but Liu Jinyuan, who was in poor health, had passed out.
"Cousin, wake up?"
Lin Yueru bent down and shook Liu Jinyuan.
Liu Jinyuan had no reaction at all.
"Cousin, don't scare me."
Lin Yueru shook even more violently.
Cao Yi blew into Liu Jinyuan's face.
"Ahem..."
After a cough, Liu Jinyuan woke up.
It's the spiritual energy that wakes you up, not your breath.
Liu Jinyuan looked around blankly, as if he still didn't know what was going on.
His eyes glanced at Cao Yi without stopping, then glanced at Lin Yueru, and immediately lit up, and said happily: "Cousin"
"Cousin, just be okay."
The worry on Lin Yueru's face disappeared.
"I'm not important, the important thing is my cousin"
Liu Jinyuan said very sincerely.
After experiencing a catastrophe, he became much more direct than before.
Seeing this scene, Cao Yi began to doubt whether accepting Liu Jinyuan as his disciple was the right decision.
Can such a deluded person who is fascinated by his cousin take on the important task of preaching the doctrine?
"Cousin, don't say this in front of the Taoist Priest."
Lin Yueru lowered her head and said.
I don't know if it's because of shyness or something else.
Based on Cao Yi's experience in judging people in the past few years, more people fall into the latter category.
The eldest lady of the Lin family is very indifferent to her cousin's relationship with men.
This is actually easy to understand. A girl who is carefree, straightforward, and even a little unruly prefers a man who is strong or can bring her a sense of freshness, more than a man she grew up with and who is more like a woman than herself.
Only then did Liu Jinyuan think of Cao Yi. He stood up and cupped his hands towards Cao Yi, thanking him and saying, "Thank you, Taoist Priest, for saving your life."
Cao Yi just hummed coldly.
Liu Jinyuan remembered what happened at the previous monastic conference, his expression straightened, and he said, "Taoist Master, can I worship you as my teacher?"
"Can't"
Cao Yi refused.
Then he said: "But I can teach you the method of cultivation."
When Liu Jinyuan heard Cao Yi's rejection, his dim eyes lit up again, "Thank you, Taoist Priest, I will definitely"
"Don't be too happy too early. I have something to do for you."
Cao Yi interrupted Liu Jinyuan.
"Taoist Priest, please give me your instructions."
Liu Jinyuan said very firmly.
As long as he can learn the best magic and win his cousin's heart, he can do anything.
"Be a poor Taoist disciple and spread Taoism..."
Cao Yi explained what he was going to do to Liu Jinyuan.
Liu Jinyuan was surprised after hearing this, "Does the Taoist Master want me to become a true Taoist priest?"
After saying that, he glanced at Lin Yueru secretly, and his meaning was obvious.
Cao Yi knew it and asked, "Is there any problem?"
Liu Jinyuan hesitated for a while and said, "If you become a true Taoist priest, will you be like a sword master or a sword immortal and be alone all your life?"
Cao Yi smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, our sect does not prohibit marriage between men and women."
Liu Jinyuan breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but get married. He would have no problem.
