Chapter 22: Did he go back to the past? Dumbfounded.jpg...
Chi Yu finally spent 100 million yuan to buy an extra spacious single room.
Chi Yu: "..."
After a moment of myocardial infarction, Chi Yu recovered fully.
He looked around the dormitory, two rooms separated by a screen. As soon as he entered, he could see two large solid wooden beds. The material was rosewood. As far as Chi Yu knew, this kind of wood was reserved for the royal family in the mortal world.
But for cultivators, it is not very good. After all, the spiritual energy is scarce and has no benefit for cultivation.
Besides the bed and two sets of tables and chairs, there was nothing else. It was very simple—in period dramas, restaurants would often have paintings and calligraphy hanging in the hallways, and vases and screens in the rooms. But the style of the cultivation world was different. Chi Yu had been on "Divine Path" for many days and had stayed in many restaurants in the cultivator cities. They were generally minimalist. Some restaurants were more sophisticated, with curtains over the wooden beds in the rooms, while others were more casual and used stone beds, which could make you stiff and bruised from sleeping.
Chi Yu has become accustomed to this minimalist style.
Since he has decided to stay in Zizaizhou for a while, he naturally has to treat it with caution.
First, split the bed and opened the window to make a kitchen.
I put all the pots and pans that I had used for a while on it. Since it was still early, I planned to cook a meal.
He has now reached the foundation-building stage, so naturally he doesn't need to eat. Taking the fasting pill can meet his daily nutritional needs.
But Chi Yu still had to eat. He felt like the day had been wasted if he didn't. Not only did he have to eat, but he also had to eat delicious rice.
Chi Yu took a copper basin bought in a mortal town and went to fetch water. He did learn the art of condensing water, but he always felt that this kind of water was not tasty. When he was brought to the dormitory by the two brothers, he found that there was spiritual spring water next to the house, so he came directly to fetch water to drink.
After the child finished moving the things, he saw him holding a copper basin. He walked over to look at him and asked him in a familiar tone, "What are you doing? Do you want to drink?"
Chi Yu filled a basin with water and when he heard him ask, he casually said, "I'll use it to cook."
The child exclaimed, "Ah!" and asked, "Can you cook?"
Chi Yu said, "Yes, what's the matter?"
The little boy touched his face and was too embarrassed to speak.
Chi Yu didn't take it seriously. Although a piece of top-grade spirit stone was stolen, Chi Yu only had a heart attack at that time and quickly recovered.
His secret to life is to not take anything to heart and be happy.
Chi Yu returned to the dormitory and thought to himself that the money was well spent. He had been taking care of his cousins at home for too long. Living with children, he would inevitably have to worry about taking care of them. Now that he lives alone, he has an extra room to cook.
Not bad, not bad.
Thinking of this, the last bit of unhappiness completely dissipated.
He chopped the green onion, ginger, garlic and chili peppers neatly, cracked two eggs with one hand, and threw the eggshells into the trash can with a swift and cool movement. He quickly stirred the egg liquid, heated the oil in the pan, fried the eggs into a perfect golden color, added the green and red peppers and stir-fried them, and soon a plate of fragrant scrambled eggs with peppers was ready.
The pot powered by spirit stones can keep the food warm even after it is out of the pot, so Chi Yu is not afraid of the food getting cold and starts to fry the next dish.
Soon, scrambled eggs with chili peppers, stewed pork ribs with winter melon, steamed pumpkin, and braised sea bass were ready.
He steamed a whole pot of rice, which was just enough for him to eat by himself.

He happily brought the dishes to the table. Since he was alone, he simply carried the steamer to the table. Just as he was about to start eating, there was a knock on the door.
Chi Yu put down the steamer and went to open the door. It was the little boy. He stretched his neck to look inside and said, "It smells so good."
Chi Yu: "."
Chi Yu couldn't help but laugh and asked him, "Do you want to come over and eat with us?"
The child looked at him in surprise and asked, "You want to feed me?"
Chi Yu said, "I can give you a bowl, but it's not too much."
The child hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Okay, I'll have a bowl! Thank you!"
Chi Yu took a small bowl, filled it with rice, and took a few morsels of each dish with his chopsticks. Then he handed it to him and said, "When you're done, wash the bowl and bring it back to me."
The child said "Oh" and asked, "Weren't you angry just now?"
Chi Yu paused for a moment, then realized he was talking about the incident. He laughed heartily and said, "I'm angry, but there's no need to be angry."
The child thought about it, said nothing, and walked away with the bowl in his hand.
Chi Yu returned to the dining table and started eating.
Cultivation is good. Everything you eat turns into spiritual energy, so no matter how much you eat, your stomach won’t be full. The psychological satisfaction is indescribable.
Chi Yu can already feel that he is growing taller.
Returning to 180.18.17 is just around the corner!
After dinner, Chi Yu took the pot to wash the dishes. The child came over again, put the washed dishes in his pot, and asked him curiously, "What's your name?"
Chi Yu asked back, "What's your name?"
The little boy said, "My name is Xiaoqiu."
"Oh, my name is Long Aotian!" Chi Yu said the name happily again.
The child looked at him strangely, puzzled by his unexplained joy. "...That name is a bit strange. Don't you want a Dharma name?"
Chi Yu asked, "Isn't the Dharma name chosen by the master? Do all the monks here choose their own Dharma names?"
"Of course, they all choose their own names. Only monks who have been ordained in Buddhism have their Dharma names given by their masters."
Chi Yu understood that this was just like giving himself an English name during English class in school.
He thought for a moment and said, "My Dharma name is Aotian."
Little Child: “…”
The little boy suggested, “You should choose a Dharma name that is more about emptiness, such as knowing emptiness, if emptiness, clear awareness, Dharma source, etc.”
Chi Yu: "..."
It’s too ordinary!!
Chi Yu said with a very firm tone: "It's Aotian. No, the dragon can't be removed. Only these three words can have momentum."
Little Child: “…”
Okay okay.
Although they had only known each other for a short time, the little boy already had a crush on Chi Yu. Chi Yu was only a few years older than him, had a nice personality, and more importantly, he could cook, and his food was delicious.
The little boy said, "I'll return that top-grade spirit stone to you. Can you cook for me in the future?"
Chi Yu asked: "Where do you usually eat?"
The child had an expression that was hard to describe. "In the cafeteria, but it's not tasty. They say that indulging in food is also a form of suffering. Only by eliminating all suffering can one achieve nothingness. That's why the food in the cafeteria is not tasty."
Chi Yu thought for a moment and said, "Forget the spirit stones. I'll make you one."
After saying that, he took out a handful of snacks from the Xumi Ring and gave it to him, "Take it and eat it."
The little boy happily took it and looked at Chi Yu with sparkling eyes, "Thank you, you are so kind."
Chi Yu always had this power to make people feel close to him, and soon the two of them were able to talk about anything.
Xiaoqiu returned to Xie Xiyi's residence with a smile. Unlike the simple houses of other monks, Xie Xiyi's residence was a palace, which was urgently built by Luoper Zen Temple a few years ago. It was built completely according to the specifications of Xie Xiyi's East Palace and was very luxurious, which was very different from the "emptiness" and "nothingness" pursued by Zen.
This also caused Xie Xiyi to suffer some criticism.
Xie Xiyi was tuning his guqin at the time. Xiaoqiu had no sense of hierarchy and said as soon as he entered the room, "Your Highness, it's already this hour. Are you still going to attend the evening lessons?"
Xie Xiyi glanced at him and asked nonchalantly, "Where did you go?"
Xiaoqiu's eyes lit up and he said, "That new monk is so kind. He invited me to dinner. His cooking is really delicious, much better than the food cooked by the chef in the imperial kitchen."
Xie Xiyi remained silent. After tuning the guqin, he stretched out his hand and plucked a few notes with his bony fingers. There was no expression on his handsome face.
Xiaoqiu knew that he was not very satisfied, so she said, "Your Highness, this zither is broken. If it really doesn't work, why don't you buy a new one?"
Xie Xiyi said, "Stop talking too much, get out."
Xiaoqiu was not afraid when he said that. Although they were master and servant, they were related by blood.
The royal family of Daxia is different from the royal families of other countries. They have a very strong sense of clan kinship. Even because of their way of cultivation, this concept of clan kinship and family unity is very deep.
Xiaoqiu is the illegitimate son of Emperor Xie Xiyi's uncle. If he had not followed Xie Xiyi from Zizhou, he would have been granted the title of a prince when he came of age.
Xiaoqiu said with a smile: "Your Highness, it's just a zither. Even if you have used it for ten years, it's time to replace it now that it's broken. Don't be so obsessed."
After saying that, he slipped away for fear of being beaten.
Xie Xiyi put down the zither, walked to the window, looked out, and his eyes slowly looked down from the lush purple bamboo forest, and he caught a glimpse of a figure.
It's the new monk.
He is about sixteen or seventeen years old, but he has already reached the foundation-building stage, which is rare anywhere else.
Xie Xiyi reached out and closed the window.
*
The next day, Chi Yu arrived at Dao Di Zen House.
This Zen hut was perched on a cliff. It wasn't a simple, but rather neat, red-tiled house, still minimalist in style. The wind from the cliff was as sharp as a steel knife, carrying with it a fierce, sinister aura.
Alsophila had already told Chi Yu about this in advance, so Chi Yu was prepared and was not hurt too much by the evil energy.
He arrived early, but was still the last one to arrive.
The lecturer was a Zen master in a green robe. When he saw Chi Yu coming, he didn't even raise an eyebrow and said casually, "Please feel free to find a place to sit."
Chi Yu glanced around and finally landed on Xie Xiyi. Xie Xiyi looked at him, his golden eyes dim and indifferent. He glanced at him and then looked away.
Chi Yu strode over, sat down next to Xie Xiyi, and introduced himself: "Hello, Senior Brother. I forgot to introduce myself yesterday. What's your name, Senior Brother?"
"..." Xie Xiyi's voice was clear, like a stream gurgling in the forest, with an unexpected sense of clarity, "You are very noisy."
Chi Yu: "Oh."
Chi Yu always felt that his voice sounded a little familiar, very similar to the villain, both with that kind of very clear tone.
It is this type of tone that has that subtle neurotic quality when producing that joyful laugh.
Chi Yu thought of the villain and opened the system panel to take a look. There were still no coordinates of the villain on the map. However, he had beaten up the system last night and it had dropped a function that allowed him to mark others and check their coordinates at any time.
It's another useless function.
However, Chi Yu no longer had any hope for the current system. He reached out to mark the little prince next to him and noted "Prince".
Chi Yu continued to check the panel as the Zen master lectured. Rejuvenation was always on, but the [Retrace] and [Seize] functions he had borrowed from Xie Xiyi were always gray. He poked at these two functions and unexpectedly found the introduction: "Follow the current, the road is long and difficult." Use times [1/2]
[Snatch] Description: What's poison to others may be honey to me. Use times: [0/1].
Chi Yu couldn't help but: "Huh????"
His voice instantly attracted everyone's attention. Chi Yu reacted quickly, covered his mouth, and bowed to his classmates to apologize.
The Zen master was not affected at all and continued to lecture in the sweet Sanskrit voice.
Chi Yu poked these two functions again and again, but they really didn't work.
When did he use backtracking?
He also understood the literal meaning of retrospection, which meant going back to the past - wait, back to the past?
Chi Yu had a brainstorm instantly. No wonder Xie Xiyi's coordinates disappeared from the system panel. It turned out that he was no longer in the time and space where Xie Xiyi was?
Chi Yu: "..."
He's broken! Ah!
Xie Xiyi didn't look at him, but the perception of a Jindan cultivator was extraordinary, so even if his eyes didn't look, his five senses could still "see" what Chi Yu was doing.
Weird behavior, seems like he is not in his right mind.
Xie Xiyi stood up silently and changed his seat.
Chi Yu saw this and stood up and sat over. "Brother, I want to ask you something. Has anything big happened in Zizaizhou?"
He asked this because the world of cultivation does not like to count years. Unlike his country, they do not use precise dating methods such as xx BC, xx AD, and the 75th anniversary of the founding of the new x country. Instead, they use major events to record years, like the gossip that Ling Hezhou mentioned, or the five hundred years since the Buddhist disciple defected.
Xie Xiyi's golden eyes were like sharp swords. He glanced at him lightly with a faint warning, "Call me Senior Brother."
"Oh, brother, do you know if there are any major events that have happened in Zizaizhou?" Chi Yu readily agreed.
Xie Xiyi: "What do you think is a big deal?"
Chi Yu thought for a moment and said, "For example, a future Buddhist disciple might defect."
Xie Xiyi: "Future Buddha's son?"
Chi Yu racked his brains to recall. He didn't know much about Zizaizhou, limited to the gossip Ling Hezhou had told him. After thinking for a while, he finally remembered, "It's about the future disciple of Anuttara Buddhism defecting. Did such a thing happen?"
Xie Xiyi: "Well... maybe in the future."
Chi Yu: "Yeah?"
Xie Xiyi's gaze fell on him. The young boy's eyes were clear, revealing a hint of innocence. The corners of his lips curled up slightly and he said, "If you're talking about me, maybe there will be a chance in the future."
Chi Yu: "Ah? What does this have to do with you?"
Xie Xiyi said: "I am the disciple destined to be a disciple of the Anuttara sect."
Chi Yu: "..."
Chi Yu asked, "Are there many disciples of Anuttara Buddha?"
Xie Xiyi said, "The position has been vacant for five hundred years, and I still haven't gotten it. Why?"
Chi Yu: "..."
Chi Yu: Huh???

What is this for him?!
