Chapter 2 The Good Years in Deyun Temple [New book, please collect it! ]
The next morning, the dawn was bright.
Li Chu has been more energetic recently, and he doesn't feel tired even if he only sleeps for two hours every night. As soon as he went out, he saw his master sitting on a stone bench in the yard, lost in thought.
Yu Qian'an is about fifty years old, but he doesn't look old at all. He is dressed in a neat green robe, with long hair hanging down. He sits upright under the tree, with a natural and sage-like demeanor. Just at this moment, a breeze blows by, and leaves fall from his head. His demeanor as a master is almost overflowing from the picture.
Seeing Li Chu coming out, he took a look and said, "Not bad, disciple, your cultivation has improved again."
Li Chu secretly thought that it was amazing. His upgrade really did not escape the master's attention. So he nodded and said, "It's just a small improvement. Thank you for the compliment, master."
“Your current cultivation level is almost catching up with mine when I was your age. You should work harder and don’t slack off.” Yu Qian’an said calmly.
Li Chu was very excited when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Disciple knows!"
Yu Qian'an nodded slightly and smiled with satisfaction.
Earlier, Yu Qian'an said that his sect's skills could only be practiced by those with a natural spiritual root that appears once in a hundred years, so he could not pass it on to Li Chu, and Li Chu was deeply disappointed.
Fortunately, he discovered that he had the ability to level up by killing monsters, so he began to embark on the path of cultivation. He had never dared to dream of catching up with Yu Qian'an, and it was a pleasant surprise to receive such a high evaluation today.
After making a simple breakfast and the master and disciple had eaten, Li Chu changed into a neat Taoist robe and came to the front hall.
After all, he is a Taoist priest, and his main job during the day is to sit on the cushion in the Sanqing Temple, waiting for pilgrims to come.
Yu Qian'an didn't need to wait here, firstly because of his status as the temple master, and secondly because there were very few pilgrims in Deyun Temple, and it was common to see no one around for most of the day.
Even if someone came, they were mostly poor people from nearby villages who could not afford to pay for incense, so he did not need to come out to greet them in person.
Only when a few well-known and wealthy customers came would Li Chu run to the backyard to invite the master out.
Often, Yu Qian'an could earn a month's expenses for the master and his disciple with his mellow voice and eloquent words.
Every time this happened, Li Chu would sigh behind him, this is called professionalism!
She is worthy of being the idol of middle-aged and elderly women in Yuhang Town.
At this moment, the idol was sitting beside the stone table with a sage-like look, flipping through a picture album with great interest.
The wind blew the pages of the book up and down, and as they fluttered, you could see a few large characters written on the cover of the album, which vaguely resembled "deng", "cao", "he" and "shang".
…
Sitting upright on the cushion.
Li Chu silently circulated the power in his body. Although this circulation would not promote the growth of strength, it would create a warm current in his body.
This warm current can relieve fatigue, dredge meridians, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and restore men's virility.
By doing this, he can sit cross-legged on the cushion all day without his legs getting numb.
This is a very practical skill for Taoist priests.
He didn't know what to call this power. It was different from physical strength and energy. It was like a ball of air that filled the whole body. Once it left the body, it would instantly evaporate and become invisible and intangible.
There are many serious practitioners in this world, and he naturally knows the existence of true qi. It is the embodiment of the spiritual power of heaven and earth in the human body, and it is the foundation of all magical powers and is extremely mysterious.
But the difference is that the true qi is strengthened through breathing and circulation, while the only way to strengthen Li Chu's power is to fight monsters and level up.
If this were not the case, why would he take the "risk" to bully the lantern monster?
Yes, a little risk is still a risk.
In his opinion, the same old saying applies: there are too many dangers in this world!
Demons and monsters are collectively called evil creatures.
On the first day Li Chu traveled through time, he witnessed a tragic case of an evil creature harming people.
Brother Niu from the next village was dragged away by a water ghost.
In order to get his body back, his relatives had to painfully offer sacrifice to the water ghost before they found his remains.
A human tragedy.
Later, still because he was a Taoist priest, Li Chu witnessed some cases of evil spirits, which left a heavy shadow on him, a modern soul who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze.
Even after his strength improved, he also helped solve some of the problems, and the process was usually smooth.
But killing is killing, and fear is fear.
He knew very well that he was just a small corner of the vast world. There were countless powerful monsters and demons in this world.
We should still have the proper respect for evil things.
Taoist scriptures say: Young people should not be too energetic.
In fact, objectively speaking...the world today is definitely a peaceful and prosperous era.
The world today is under the rule of the Heluo Dynasty.
This was a powerful feudal dynasty.
The Heluo Ji family, which established its rule over the world after a thrilling battle between gods and demons, has been in existence for nearly 800 years and is still as solid as a rock.
There is a complete bureaucratic system inside, a powerful army to protect the country outside, prosperous business, and strict laws. Regarding evil things, the court has a special agency to deal with such incidents, and there are also many sects and inheritances composed of cultivators in the world.
The founding emperor of Heluo personally conferred titles on the Twelve Immortal Sects, established the immortal examination system, and encouraged practitioners to fight demons and defend the Way.
Both Taoism and Buddhism, as well as civil and martial arts, are willing to contribute their strength to protect peace in the area and thereby expand their own believers.
But the entire dynasty is too vast. Even if there are many cultivators, once you encounter evil creatures, no one can guarantee that they can rescue you in time.
They can only try to avenge you...
Yuhang Town was the jurisdiction of the Heluo Dynasty, Jiangnanzhou, and Hangzhou City, and Shilipo, as the name suggests, was ten miles outside Yuhang Town. If divided carefully, it might belong to a village somewhere.
Sometimes Li Chu would wonder if he was too cowardly as a time traveler.
It's been almost a year, and the novice village hasn't been released yet.
But think again.
You didn't give me the treatment that a time traveler deserves.
Those who are further away have all kinds of portable grandfathers, and those who are closer have all kinds of fancy systems. At the very least, you must have a super-super-super-super artifact-level magic weapon. What about yourself?
There is not even any spiritual roots to practice.
Just for the ability to level up by killing monsters, one has to diligently kill monsters every night to improve that "insignificant" bit of strength.
Thinking of this, Li Chu felt relieved.
It is impossible to leave the mountain, it is impossible to leave the mountain in this lifetime, and I don’t have the golden finger. I can only kill lantern monsters and barely maintain the upgrade.
The people in Yuhang Town are all talented and speak nicely. I love being here!
…
The sun is shining and the white clouds are floating.
Cicadas are chirping happily in the trees.
In the Taoist temple, the young Taoist priest was quietly waiting for pilgrims in the front hall, and the old Taoist priest was quietly looking at a picture album in the backyard.
The so-called good times.
The air was filled with the scent of heather.
In addition, in the early stage of this book, I did learn some character relationships and writing rhythms from "I am a Monk in Tokyo" and "The Great Doctor Ling Ran". Because I didn't know what readers would like, I learned from the books I was reading at the time. But the degree should not be considered plagiarism. I have also explained it many times in the chapter comments. It is really not someone's fake account.
