Today should be a normal day. It wasn't a festival, and nothing major had happened.
However, to Monk Jing Li, August 9th was undoubtedly quite special.
His dear junior brother had invited him to Linzi for a meal on this day!
For this, he worked very hard and completed the task at hand in advance, freeing up two days.
His master asked him sourly, "Isn't it just a meal? Why do you have to specially squeeze out two days?"
He replied confidently. After the meal, wouldn't he still have to walk around Linzi? Linzi was so big! He had to walk around for a few days. Two days was too little.
He knew that his master was jealous because he was the first person in the entire Xuankong Temple to be invited by his junior brother!
But there was nothing he could do.
His junior brother had suffered too much in Linzi. He was tortured by the debauchery every day. No matter what, he had to accompany him to eat for two days.
As fellow disciples, they had to share joys and sorrows.
He wanted to give his junior brother strength so that he could leave the mortal world as soon as possible and return to the sect.
However …
There was a gap between imagination and reality.
The gap was huge!
Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that his first meal in Linzi … would be in prison!
"Here!"
One of the jailers was holding a broken bowl. Inside the broken bowl were two pitch-black cornbread. The broken bowl reached through the bars and fell to the ground. The cornbread smashed into the broken bowl.
Monk Jing Li was no stranger to cornbread. He had eaten it when he was begging for alms in the past.
She had never seen a cornbread that was so black and so hard … She had never seen one before.
"Benefactor."
Jing Li was a monk who paid attention to personal hygiene, so he didn't lie down or sit down.
He stood in the only dry corner of the entire cell and stretched out his hand to call out from afar, "Please wait!"
"Do you want an extra meal?" The prison guard glanced at him and stretched out his hand. "Pay up first!"
"Ah, that's not what I meant." Monk Jing Li explained, "I want to tell you …"
"Tsk, you're a pauper!" The prison guard waved his hand impatiently and strode away.
Only Monk Jing Li was left standing in place with his hands open in disappointment.
Why … was this different from what his junior brother had said?
Didn't they say that Linzi didn't need to be reported, that it was a small matter that could be arranged? Didn't they just need to inform the patrol office of the capital city?
Why was it that as soon as I entered Linzi, I was surrounded by several dozen people, each of them looking like fiends wanting to beat me up?
Although Jing Li wasn't afraid of those people, he didn't want to cause trouble for his junior brother, so he obediently followed them.
Initially, he thought that it was just a small misunderstanding and that Little Junior Brother was just greeting him. Who would have thought that as soon as he mentioned his Junior Brother's name, those people who were going to deport him out of the country immediately brought him to prison!
He still remembered the conversation in the morning.
At that time, a group of people had surrounded him. There were Blue Medal Constables, City Guards, and even a night watchman.
"Monk, which sect are you from? Did you report your arrival? "
At that time, he proudly replied, "No!"
Seeing that the other party was about to make a move, he said confidently, "My Junior Brother invited me to dinner!"
"Your junior brother?" The head constable sneered, "Our Linzi doesn't have such a prestigious monk!"
He laughed, "Aren't you going to ask who my Junior Brother is?"
The head constable asked, "Who is he?"
He said confidently, "Jingshen! His common name is Jiang Wang! "
Then, he heard a shout, "Arrest him!"
By the time he reacted, he was already in prison …
If his master asked him how he felt about attending a banquet in Linzi, he wouldn't answer.
He could only answer —
He had just arrived in Linzi and was in prison … His feelings were quite complicated.
…
…
"Did something happen to your Lingxiao Pavilion these days?" In Lingxiao Secret Grounds, Jiang Wang asked.
"Why do you ask?" Ye Qingyu smiled.
"Why is your father and Senior Ah Chou …" Jiang Wang pointed to the sky, "always flying here and there."
Good heavens, he could meet them several times a day. A pavilion master and a divine beast guarding the sect. It seemed like they had nothing else to do, so they patrolled the sky!
"That's nothing." Ye Qingyu was annoyed, but he couldn't say anything. He only smiled and said, "I'm old, so I need to move around more to stretch my muscles and bones."
Jiang Wang said in surprise, "You also need to stretch your muscles and bones?"
"This …" Ye Qingyu was worried about how to explain.
Jiang Wang already had his own answer, "No wonder you're so powerful. You've already achieved Insight, but you still don't forget to cultivate. You're really a role model for our generation! "
"Ha, is that so? You've analyzed it. "Ye Qingyu's tone was a bit dry.
"Senior is so hardworking, we can't fall behind." Jiang Wang was very emotional, and said, "The Daoist technique you mentioned last time, I think there's actually a new direction … Look, when your Daoist essence came out of the Tongtian Palace and triggered the wind essence …"
Under the setting sun, the two figures who were engrossed in cultivation were pulled far, far away …
Behind a small hill not far away, under the cover of a camouflage, a row of figures lay prone.
From left to right, they were Senior Apprentice-Brother Xie Ruixuan, Senior Apprentice-Brother Mo Liang, Senior Apprentice-Sister Big and Little Wang, Ah Chou, Jiang Anan, and Dumb Grey.
"Too scary …" Xie Ruixuan muttered.
"No wonder my brother is so powerful!" Mo Liang clenched his fist, "Heaven really rewards the diligent! Heaven doesn't let down those who work hard, it made me have a fighting spirit! "
"Hey!" He had just finished venting, and immediately shouted at Xie Ruixuan, "Move over, you're squeezing me! How can I bask in the sun like this! "
"It's my brother!" Jiang Anan heard the first half of the sentence, and hurriedly turned her head and corrected him loudly.
Woof woof woof!
Dumb Grey immediately cheered.
"Yes, yes, yes, Sister An!" Mo Liang hurriedly said, "It's your brother, it's our big brother!"
Miss Xiao Wang's gaze was dull as she shook her head, "I don't care about his marriage anymore."
The gentle Miss Xiao Wang also had lingering fears, "Such good weather, I'm only suitable for lying down …"
"Ah Chou." Jiang Anan asked again, "Why are we lying here to peek at my brother?"
Everyone addressed him as respectfully as possible.
Only Jiang Anan, Ah Chou liked her to call him by his name.
There was once when Jiang Wang meddled in other people's business, and asked Xiao Anan to be more polite. At night, Ah Chou went to look for him and had a friendly talk. Since then, it was no longer a problem.
"This is not called peeking." Ah Chou said casually, and stared at Mo Liang.
Meaning, continue lying!
Mo Liang very sensibly continued, "Yes, hide-and-seek! We're playing hide-and-seek! "
Jiang Anan frowned, she felt that things were not so simple, "Then why didn't they come to catch us? They even preached about Taoism. "
"Maybe this is a good child who loves to learn." Mo Liang sighed, "Why don't you learn from your brother?"
Jiang Anan quietly retracted her head, and softly said, "I'm a little sleepy now …"
