Master Changqing really wanted to call Ping An an idiot after hearing his words.
This apprentice is really too stupid; he doesn't even have a brain.
I should have never picked him up in the first place.
I've wasted twenty years of my life.
Master Changqing missed Su Ya even more.
This all started with the phone call Ji Ziming made.
After learning that Su Ya wanted to find her master, Ji Ziming was still a little worried about him, so he contacted Ping An and asked him to tell his master that Su Ya was going to see him.
This was originally in line with Master Changqing's wishes.
Otherwise, why would he have brought Su Qingsheng up the mountain?
That day, Master Changqing finally finished the game, and then waited for a long time without any new version.
Master Changqing was unaware that Ji Ziming had used his family's influence to call the game company and ask them to temporarily stop updating the new version.
The game company had no choice but to do this because of the Ji family's influence.
That day, Master Changqing felt that staying at home was rather dull.
Ji Ziming then suggested that his master take Ping An around the capital.
This is Heian's first time visiting Kyoto.
Moreover, Kyoto has changed a lot in recent years.
Master Changqing only visited once more than ten years ago.
That was the first time he accepted Ji Zimo as his apprentice.
I never came back after that.
So I got interested too.
He then took Ping An for a stroll around Kyoto.
Suddenly, Ping An saw a man walking down the road looking somewhat lost and dejected.
The pedestrian light had already turned red, but the person still rushed forward regardless.
Seeing this, Ping An quickly stepped forward and pulled him away, saving him from disaster.
Su Qingsheng turned his head and saw a Taoist priest, who looked like a hermit, with an air of otherworldly wisdom. He was also carrying a whisk in his hand.
Su Qingsheng was startled and then said.
"Greetings, Daoist Master!"
Then the Taoist priest opposite said kindly, "I am Changqing. This layman seems a little uneasy. Is there something troubling you? You may tell me, and perhaps I can help you find a way to resolve it."
After listening to the Taoist priest's words, Su Qingsheng was about to tell him everything that was on his mind. These past few days, he had been so troubled by this matter that he hadn't known a thing.
But I also find it really hard to bring up this kind of thing.
He hesitated for a long time but didn't say a word.
Master Changqing saw that the person was unwilling to speak, so he did not press the matter further, as Taoism has always emphasized the importance of predestined relationships.
If we are not destined to be together.
I won't press the matter further.
He then prepared to leave safely with his disciple.
If Su Ya heard this, she would definitely accuse Master Changqing of double standards.
I have no affinity with your Taoist temple, but you keep going on and on. Why do you insist on making me your disciple?
Seeing that the Taoist priest was about to leave, Su Qingsheng hurriedly called out, "Taoist priest, please wait."
Upon hearing this, Master Changqing stopped in his tracks.
"Is the layperson willing to speak?"
"Master, my name is Su Qingsheng. It's not that I'm unwilling to speak of you, Master, but the recent events have been too absurd to mention."
"In that case, I won't force you, layman. You suddenly called me to stop, I wonder what it is?"
After thinking for a moment, Su Qingsheng finally spoke.
"Master, I have a request for you."
"May I ask what business the layman has with this humble monk?"
"It is so, Taoist Master. I am looking for a secluded place that no outsiders can find. I wonder if you have such a place?"
Su Qingsheng didn't know why he wanted to seek help from the Taoist priest.
I just feel that if I miss this opportunity, I'll never have another chance.
Master Changqing stroked his beard and thought for a moment before saying, "If I were to say that this secluded place under heaven is not my own boast, then it would be my Tianqing Taoist Temple."
Ping An watched as his master spun his lies, but this time he didn't expose his master's tricks.
"Then may I ask where the Taoist temple is located?"
Su Qingsheng hurriedly asked, "I want to leave Kyoto right now and go somewhere no one can find me. Everything happened so suddenly; I just want some peace and quiet."
Then we heard Master Changqing say, "My disciple and I will be setting off back to the Taoist temple tomorrow. If you would like to find a quiet place, you can come with us."
"I do, I do."
Su Qingsheng quickly expressed his opinion.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, Su Qingsheng followed Daoist Changqing back to their residence that same day.
Ji Ziming was so busy at the company that he didn't go home all night because of Su Linxi's matter, so he missed the chance to see Su Qingsheng.
The next day, the three of them set off together and left Kyoto.
Ji Ziming was worried that his master would take the slow, green train to save money, but he didn't have time to personally take him because of work. So he hired a taxi for his master and had the driver take them back to Daicheng.
After arriving in Daicheng, Su Qingsheng followed Daoist Changqing and the others up the mountain via a small path.
Therefore, this is why Su Ya failed to find any clues about Su Qingsheng.
They hid in a taxi the whole time, and then went up the mountain where there were no surveillance cameras to check.
Later, Su Qingsheng was finally persuaded by Master Changqing to tell the whole story.
Master Changqing chuckled to himself, thinking how effortlessly he had gained this opportunity.
It seems his apprentice can't escape even if he wants to.
So Master Changqing devised this plan.
Let Ping An go down the mountain and spread the word to the surrounding villagers.
Although there are no immortals on the mountain, Master Changqing has still saved many villagers in the vicinity after descending the mountain over the years.
Some of those villagers run small businesses in Daishan.
Out of gratitude, the villagers agreed to Ping An's request.
Previously, villagers wanted to help promote Master Changqing, but they were all refused.
Now that Master Changqing's apprentice has come to their door, it's just what the villagers wanted. They've never known how to thank Master Changqing for treating their illness.
The people here are very simple and honest. They rarely go to Daicheng. When they have minor ailments, they just buy some medicine at a nearby pharmacy.
So the story spread by word of mouth among the villagers, and from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
The whole of Daishan knew about it.
I don't know how it got passed down, but it eventually turned into the story of a hermit on the mountain who could cure all diseases.
Then these words were overheard by tourists visiting Daishan.
They spread the word.
That's how Lao Li overheard that conversation with the passengers when he was driving his taxi.
In fact, Master Changqing originally intended for Su Ya to go to Mount Dai.
Hearing these words made her realize that Master Changqing was also a true reclusive master.
He never expected that this matter would spread to Jinan, and be embellished in such a fantastical way.
At this moment, Master Changqing was feeling quite pleased with himself.
Soon he will be able to receive his last disciple, and the Tianqing Sect will have its thirty-eighth generation successor.
Even if he passes away, he will have the face to face his master.
It's a pity, because it didn't bring much joy.
Then a rumbling sound came from outside the Taoist temple.
Immediately afterwards, Ping An rushed in, shouting, "Master, Master, something terrible has happened! Someone has broken the formation!"
