The first year of the Zhenguan era.
Jiang Yue transmigrated to the Tang Dynasty and became a female Taoist priest who cultivated Taoism in the deep mountains with her master. When Jiang Yue arrived, the original owner's master had passed away due to old age and illness. After taking care of her master's funeral, the heartbroken original owner followed her master in the following days. After Jiang Yue arrived, she built a small tomb next to the original owner's master.
This was prepared for the original owner of the body. Several of her clothes were placed in the tomb. Her name was not yet engraved on the tombstone. It would be engraved when she was about to die. After arranging the offerings and burning incense, Jiang Yue left.
The original owner and his master's Taoist temple was built halfway up the mountain. The mountain path was difficult to walk, but it was quiet, which was in line with the identity of a Taoist who practiced asceticism. They grew their own food and vegetables on a few acres of land on the mountain, and bought oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar from the foot of the mountain.
Her master knew some medical skills and would go down the mountain at regular intervals to treat the villagers. Because of his good medical skills and low fees, the surrounding people trusted Jiang Yue's master, so the two of them did not live in poverty.
After evening prayers, Jiang Yue ate something. Today's meal was rather light, consisting mainly of porridge and vegetables she had grown herself. It wasn't that she couldn't eat meat; the original owner of this body and her master did. There were even chickens raised in the courtyard of the Taoist temple, but they were used for laying eggs. After eating, Jiang Yue read a book for a while, following the original owner's habits.
Jiang Yue felt okay after a day. While sleeping, she sorted through the original owner's memories. In her memories, she was picked up by her master fifteen years ago when she was still a baby. Because she grew up in a Taoist temple, there was nothing worth mentioning about her. After all, she was always studying. Because the road down the mountain was difficult, she hadn't been to many places far from the foot of the mountain.
Besides these, there are memories of her master. The interactions between the master and disciple make up the majority of her memories. No wonder the original owner was heartbroken after her master passed away and followed him. She was no different from her own mother.
She got up very early the next day. The original owner was used to this biological clock. After washing up and getting dressed, she went to her morning prayers. After finishing her prayers, she made some breakfast. During this period, Jiang Yue planned to eat vegetarian food, as if she were observing mourning in place of the original owner.
After finishing her meal, Jiang Yue cleaned up the Taoist temple, fed the chickens, and tidied up the miscellaneous items. She looked at Bai Ze, which was still showing "self-checking," but the progress was already more than halfway done, so it should be finished by tomorrow. After putting Bai Ze down, Jiang Yue found the scriptures and began to study them. After reading them once, Jiang Yue discovered that they were the same as some ancient books she had collected. It seemed that she could save some money and not have to buy books.
After finishing reading the books in the Taoist temple, it was lunchtime. After eating and resting for a while, Jiang Yue got up to copy books. She planned to copy some books from her spatial storage to pass the time. This copying took several hours. After finishing her evening prayers, it was time to eat again. Before going to bed, she checked Bai Ze's progress and found that he was 70% complete. It seemed that he had made significant progress this time. She decided to check on him again tomorrow morning.
Because she was thinking about Bai Ze, Jiang Yue woke up at 3 or 4 in the morning. She had gone to bed too early and had fallen asleep by 9. She checked Bai Ze's progress and found it was already 99%. She decided to finish her morning class first. Bai Ze finished loading when she was halfway through her morning class, but Jiang Yue decided to wait until she finished her class before checking on it.
"Master, Bai Ze has completed its self-check. Please see the report for details."
"OK."
Jiang Yue then looked at the report, while Bai Ze explained that his own materials had changed, the runes on his body had been greatly optimized, and Bai Ze's intelligence had evolved. If the original Bai Ze was a super artificial intelligence, then the current Bai Ze is close to the peak level of artificial intelligence, even though it is still limited by hardware.
"I should have snapped my fingers twice and evolved the Wizard Tower as well."
“Master is a bit greedy. The big boss wanted to stop us after the first snap of his fingers. After all, the energy we use for evolution is permanently lost. If it weren’t for 8888, this evolution would probably have been abandoned halfway.”
"Yes, it was a bit greedy."
After Bai Ze evolved, Jiang Yue felt relieved. She was afraid that something might happen to Bai Ze. After having Bai Ze, Jiang Yue released a few puppets. She planned to repair the Taoist temple. This Taoist temple had existed for a long time. Jiang Yue's master had taken it over halfway through her life. The temple was called Lao Jun Temple. Later, after her grandmaster passed it on to Jiang Yue's master, the name was not changed.
Before her death, Master Jiang Yue was thinking about repairing the Taoist temple before winter, because she was afraid that the snow would collapse the building. A month ago, when she passed away, she held Jiang Yue's hand and told her about this. She said that she had already hired people down the mountain and that after Jiang Yue finished her funeral, they would start construction on an auspicious day.
The next morning, after finishing her morning prayers, Jiang Yue went down the mountain. Unexpectedly, she ran into the village chief at the foot of the mountain. He was carrying a large basket on his back and was walking up the mountain. When he saw Jiang Yue, he called out to her, "Little Taoist priest, over here, over here, where are you going?"
"Village chief, what brings you up here? I was just about to come down the mountain to look for you."
“Your master asked me to bring you some things up here, and also to discuss the matter of building a Taoist temple. The materials your master ordered have also been delivered. They are still waiting for you.”
"Thank you all, village chief. I'll carry the things up the mountain first."
While Jiang Yue was putting her things away at the Taoist temple on the mountain, the village chief had already lit incense. The village chief had been coming here often when he was young, and he was more familiar with the temple than Jiang Yue was.
"Village chief, have some tea."
"Oh, thank you for your trouble, young Taoist priest. How have you been lately? Don't worry about any difficulties you may be facing. Before your master passed away, he was concerned about you and specifically asked us old folks to take good care of you."
"I understand, village chief. You've watched me grow up since I was a child. If anything happens, I won't hesitate to help."
The original owner had a good relationship with the village chief and the others, after all, she often ate at their homes when she was young. According to her memories, her master said that Jiang Yue had drunk milk from someone's daughter-in-law when she was a baby.
"That's good, that's good."
"Village chief, let me take your pulse. You don't look too well."
"Alright, let's take a look. It's an old problem. I've finished the medicine your master prescribed. I came up here this time hoping you could prescribe a few more doses."
After taking the pulse, Jiang Yue adjusted the prescription, which was more effective than the previous one. Before the people transporting building materials arrived, Jiang Yue wrapped the medicine up and put it away for the village chief.
The work of moving building materials lasted for half a month. Because this construction was a major overhaul, many stones were transported up the mountain little by little. Although Jiang Yue had the ability, if she had carried them up by herself overnight, people would not have thought she was a deity descending to earth. Instead, they would have thought she was a demon burning to death.
