Over time, Taoist Master Daoming even gained some fame near the foot of the mountain. Some families would invite him to their homes to calculate their fortunes and buy blessings for peace and happiness when they got married or had children.
But it is still relatively rare to bring back such a large bag of things.
Ji Miaomiao placed the bundle on the stone table in the backyard. Taoist Master Daoming sat on a stool beside the stone table and presented her with the treasure, saying, "Little disciple, open this bundle and take a look."
Seeing the mysterious look, she looked at the bundle suspiciously and reached out to open it.
The knot on the package was tied tightly.
Ji Miaomiao struggled for a while before she was able to lift the cloth covering the outside. She could clearly see the things that the treasure had placed inside, the most conspicuous of which was a long piece of "wood".
"Master, what is this?" She tried to touch the brown-black wood.
Taoist Master Daoming was a little surprised that she asked about the wood first. He straightened his sleeves and said to her, "This is a piece of ebony that I accidentally obtained this time. I use it to make an amulet. Disciple, please take a look at the other things."
After hearing this, Ji Miaomiao looked at the other things.
A red velvet box, a brand new mobile phone box, a package wrapped in oil paper and some wedding candies.
She looked at these things being put together and sighed inwardly: "Master still has this habit, putting everything together."
Ji Miaomiao vaguely felt the expectant gazes beside her, paying attention to her movements.
She paused, picked up the small red box, opened it, and saw a bracelet made of red rope and gold ornaments inside. She understood and asked with a smile, "Master, is this for me?"
The joy in his voice was very obvious.
“Ahem!”
Hearing this, Taoist Master Daoming stroked his long beard and smiled, then coughed twice and pretended to be casual, "I bought this on the road. If you like it, I'll give it to you."
"I like it, it's very beautiful! Thank you, Master!"
Ji Miaomiao put on the red rope bracelet which was marked with the gold weight and price, which was obviously bought from a gold shop. She smiled very clearly and waved her hands in front of her eyes, looking at it, as if she liked it very much.
"My disciple, you are grown up now and will be going to college soon. In addition to this bracelet, Master also bought you a new mobile phone so that we can keep in touch later. Try it out and see if it works well."
Taoist Master Daoming was relieved to see that his little disciple liked it, and reminded her to look at other things.
He is old and doesn't understand the preferences of young people today. He saw this bracelet when he went down the mountain and saw a bride wearing it and she looked so beautiful. He asked about it and then went to the store to buy the same one for his disciple.
Taoist Master Daoming himself did not care about anything, but since his disciple was a young girl, it would be inappropriate for her to be like him, an old Taoist priest, wearing plain clothes without even a single decoration.
He thought that his disciple would be going to college soon after the college entrance examination, so this bracelet and mobile phone were gifts from him to her.
Ji Miaomiao opened the phone box again, and inside was a flip phone with a pink shell, which looked very exquisite.
"Master, it seems that this phone needs a SIM card to work. Let's go get one when we go down the mountain tomorrow." She played with this rather retro phone for a few times, closed the cover and said with a smile.
Taoist Master Daoming was stunned when he heard this and said, "Phone card? Disciple, do you know what to do?"
Ji Miaomiao nodded: "It's very easy to get a phone card. I can go down the mountain and get one myself tomorrow."
After saying that, she put the phone back into the box and put it aside. She picked up the large oil paper bag in the package and as soon as she opened it, she smelled the aroma of meat coming from the shop.
"Disciple, this is the roast duck that Master brought back specially. Let's cook some rice for lunch and eat together."
"Okay, Master."
Ji Miaomiao looked through the things in the bag and put them away separately. She heard Taoist Master Daoming say that he didn't eat much in the morning and had already cooked rice in the kitchen.
When the rice was almost cooked, she fried a vegetarian dish.
The master and disciple had a sumptuous lunch with the roast duck they brought back.
As a Taoist disciple, Daoming Zhenren emphasized daily self-cultivation.
After his nap, he got rid of the fatigue from being out for a few days and regained his energy. He then walked slowly to the front hall, planning to practice Taoist scriptures as usual and then stretch his muscles.
As soon as he walked into the front hall, Taoist Master Daoming saw his disciple holding a Taoist scripture.
"Disciple, why are you here?" He was a little surprised.
His disciple has never liked reading Taoist scriptures and has no interest in talismans. Taoist Master Daoming never thought that one day he would see her reading Taoist scriptures herself.
"Master." Ji Miaomiao greeted him while sitting on the mat.
Seeing the surprise in Dao Ming Zhenren's eyes, she smiled and said, "Master, you were not at the Taoist temple a few days ago. I was alone in the mountains with nothing to do, so I meditated for a few days according to the Taoist scriptures. I felt it was interesting, so I sat here every day to observe it."
Ji Miaomiao found an excuse for her change and gave Taoist Master Daoming some psychological preparation in advance for her future plan to study talismans.
Although Taoist Master Daoming was a little surprised when he heard this, he felt more happy afterwards. The inheritance of his school was in him, and if his disciples were interested in learning some of it, the inheritance would not be broken.
When he was young, he had also thought about accepting more disciples and learning the sect's inheritance.
Unfortunately, he himself was not talented and had not achieved anything in his studies. He also did not receive any suitable disciples. His only disciple was not very interested in this. At that time, he was hungry every day, so he gradually gave up hope.
But things took a surprising turn, as the disciple became interested in this, and Taoist Master Daoming was naturally happy to see it happen.
He lifted up his clothes, sat cross-legged on the futon next to Ji Miaomiao, and said in a gentle voice: "Disciple, is there anything you don't understand that you need your master to explain to you?"
