The war in the Yang Region had just ended, and all kinds of monsters had come out. Jiang Wang had to be careful.
He immediately stopped cultivating and followed Dugu Xiao to the front yard.
He didn't have any good channels for the time being, so he had asked Chung Geng Sheng to buy the Meridian Unlocking Pill for Dugu Xiao. It would be completed in a few days.
Jiang Wang didn't have to worry about the layout of the yard, leaving it all to Dugu Xiao.
He didn't care much about these things, but he did feel a lot more comfortable.
The visitor was waiting in the front yard.
It was a skinny, yellow-faced old monk. He wore a coarse hemp robe and a pair of straw sandals. His exposed toes were clearly black and dirty.
While Jiang Wang was sizing him up, he was also sizing up Jiang Wang.
"Master, why are you here?" Jiang Wang asked.
The yellow-faced old monk saluted with one hand. "I came because of fate."
Jiang Wang didn't pick up the conversation and deliberately said, "If you're asking for alms, I can arrange a vegetarian meal."
The yellow-faced old monk nodded. "If that's the case, I'll have to trouble you."
Jiang Wang was speechless.
If it was just asking for alms, Dugu Xiao would have arranged it long ago.
This old monk must have waited until now for some other purpose.
Moreover, his aura was faintly discernible, and his cultivation was unfathomable.
Jiang Wang didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, so he tried to restrain his curiosity when he didn't know who the enemy was. Therefore, he deliberately asked for alms to stop him, but he didn't expect the old monk to take advantage of the situation.
He really wanted to ask for alms!
Jiang Wang was the lord of Qingyang Town, so he could still afford a vegetarian meal.
However, Dugu Xiao's expression didn't look so good as she stared at the stacked bowls.
She was used to living a hard life, so she knew how to be thrifty. It wasn't that she hadn't seen monks asking for alms in the past, but they usually only asked for a bowl of vegetarian rice and a few pieces of green vegetables. How could they eat more than twenty bowls of rice? They even ate five plates of green vegetables!
However, Jiang Wang didn't say anything, so she had to endure it.
However, when he went to the kitchen, he secretly told the monk to sprinkle more salt so that the monk who was reincarnated from starvation would be full from the salty food and would not eat too much.
The yellow-faced old monk was very devout when he ate. He didn't say anything and just stared at the food, chewing slowly. It looked very meticulous, but it wasn't slow when eaten.
The bowls and plates were stacked higher and higher, and the chef was so tired that he had to change one.
It was impossible for Jiang Wang to let such a powerhouse of unknown origin roam freely, so he maintained his patience and accompanied him from the side.
It was inconvenient for him to explore the Fog of Obscurity, but he could just sit there and nurture his Dao Energy.
When there were forty empty bowls and nine empty plates, the yellow-faced old monk finally put down his chopsticks. He rubbed his stomach and let out a sigh of relief.
"Master, are you done?" Jiang Wang asked.
"You can't use up all your power and enjoy all your blessings." The old monk said seriously, "Half full is enough, but you must exercise restraint."
"… Thank you for your advice."
The yellow-faced old monk glanced at him with an expression that said, "This child is worth teaching."
On the other hand, Dugu Xiao couldn't stand by and watch. He helped the servants clear away the bowls and plates, while he himself hid outside.
"Amitabha." The yellow-faced old monk saluted with one hand. Only now did he remember to introduce himself. "This old monk, Ku Jue, must have heard of Benefactor's name."
In terms of etiquette, this monk was quite old. As long as it wasn't too excessive, it wasn't good to be disrespectful.
Although Jiang Wang had never heard of this Master Ku Jue before, he still played along. "Master's virtuous reputation is widespread. I've heard of it before. I wonder if Master's visit this time … "
"It's all fate!"
The yellow-faced old monk's wrinkled face seemed to relax. "This old monk and you are fated!"
Before Jiang Wang could say anything, Ku Jue continued, "Everyone knows that this old monk is a reasonable person."
He looked Jiang Wang up and down. The more he looked, the happier he became. "How can this old monk accept your kindness for free?"
Before Jiang Wang could say "You're too courteous."
The yellow-faced old monk said, "I'll pass on my mantle to you!"
"Pack up your things and follow me into the temple. I'll teach you everything I've learned in my lifetime. In less than thirty years, you'll be like this old monk, respected by the world! Forget it, I'm a monk, so there's nothing to pack. Let's go … "
As he spoke, he pulled Jiang Wang along.
"Hold … hold on!"
Jiang Wang jumped far away with a single step.
Did he lose his mind?
No matter what, he was still an eighteen -year-old expert in the Soaring Dragon Realm, a man of Qingyang Town. He had the talent, the strength, and the potential. His forces were also developing.
How could he be so brainless as to ask him to leave everything behind and become a monk with him?
If it weren't for the fact that this old monk had some cultivation and didn't seem like a complete fool, Jiang Wang would've already left in a huff.
His mind was in a mess, but he still maintained basic courtesy. "Master, perhaps there's some misunderstanding? I have no plans to become a monk! "
Ku Jue looked somewhat dissatisfied. "You don't have any plans now, but how do you know you won't have any in the future?"
"… …"
I don't know, but do you?
Jiang Wang tried to be as calm as possible. "Not now, and probably not in the future."
"You can only represent the present you, not the future you." Monk Jue Ku walked over as he spoke. "Don't waste time, hurry up and acknowledge me as your master!"
Jiang Wang retreated vigilantly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. "Master, please conduct yourself with dignity and don't pester endlessly."
"Child, why won't you listen to my advice?" Jue Ku frowned. "I've been through this before, so why would I lie to you? Before I became a monk, I was also dressed in fine clothes and rode on fine horses. I thought I had limitless glory, but the glory and splendor were like bubbles. Only after I converted to Buddhism did I finally obtain the supreme peace! "
Jiang Wang couldn't help but look at his linen monk robe, and then at his exposed straw shoes.
Although he didn't care about enjoyment like Zhao Rucheng, he didn't live so half-heartedly.
If this was "peace" … it really wasn't necessary.
Noticing Jiang Wang's gaze, Jue Ku's frown deepened. "Mortal riches and honor are fleeting clouds. Can't you see this?"
Jiang Wang said in a muffled voice, "I don't have the root of wisdom."
"… …"
Finally, it was Monk Jue Ku's turn to be silent.
The yellow-faced monk was silent for a while, then forced a smile. "Don't worry, I'm used to turning stone into gold."
This person's skin was thicker than the Kun Skin Drum. He hadn't even agreed to it, but he was already calling himself "master".
"I don't need you to point at me, I'm real gold!"
The word "master" left him with a bad memory. Up until now, he had only truly acknowledged Dong Ah. From the initial wariness, to the subsequent trust, and then to the final deception …
Jiang Wang's pride was provoked. He didn't want to accompany him anymore, so he turned and walked out.
But for some reason, after taking a few steps, his eyes froze, and he found himself back in his original position!
What kind of trick was this?
He didn't even notice it!
Jiang Wang held his sword and bent. "Master, what do you mean by this?"
"Good disciple, don't fight with your master. You have no respect for your master."
As Jue Ku spoke, he stretched his hand forward.
His feet didn't move, but Sauvignon Annunciation was already in his hand. Jiang Wang didn't even have time to react, and his hands were already empty!
Those who use the sword lose their sword, and those who decide their fate lose their life!
"The sword is not bad! But it's too fierce! " Jue Ku held his sword horizontally in front of him and stretched out his hand. "Today, I have a good disciple. I don't have anything else on me, so I'll help you suppress it!"
A ray of Buddhist light flashed on Sauvignon Annunciation, and Jue Ku threw it away. Jiang Wang didn't notice the process, and his sword returned to his hand.
He lived with this sword day and night, and they were one.
He didn't see any changes on Sauvignon Annunciation, but he did feel that something was different.
