Uncle Jiu: I am Chen Yulou, the leader of the Xiangling gang

Chapter 57, Peach Wood Thunder Roar

At this moment, the sound of bells was heard in the distance.

The three of them immediately looked over in the direction of the sound.

Jiale's face lit up immediately and he said, "My master is back!"

Sure enough, in the distance there was a Taoist priest in a yellow robe, shaking a bell in one hand and holding a soul-guiding lamp in the other, followed by seven or eight zombies jumping forward.

The Taoist priest in yellow robe is naturally Taoist Simu.

The three of them hurried to the gate of the yard to greet them.

After a while, Taoist Simu came over with the zombies.

"Yulou, why are you here?"

Taoist Simu was also stunned when he saw Chen Yulou, and then asked in surprise.

Chen Yulou immediately stepped forward, bowed to Taoist Simu and said, "Yulou greets Uncle Master!"

"I'm here to learn the art of corpse-driving and weapon-refining from my uncle!"

"Good good!"

Upon hearing this, Taoist Simu nodded happily. He knew Chen Yulou's talent. Although he could not accept a good disciple like Chen Yulou, he was still happy to teach Chen Yulou the techniques of corpse-driving and weapon refining.

After all, since we have the grace of passing on knowledge and teachings, even if we cannot be master and apprentice, it is no problem to be half-masters.

At this moment, Taoist Simu looked at Jiale, who was looking at him with a smile, and his face darkened. He said bluntly, "Look at your junior brother. He came all the way here just to learn Taoism!"

"What about you?"

"I haven't been home these few days, I'm afraid you must have had too much fun."

"Are you hoping I'll come back a few days later?"

When Jiale heard this, his face turned bitter and he said, "No!"

"I look forward to your early return every day, Master."

"Also, Master, during the past few days when you were not at home, I woke up early every day to burn incense to the ancestors, and then started practicing after breakfast. I do this every day, and my cultivation has improved a lot."

Hearing Jiale's lies without blushing or beating his heart, Qingqing beside him immediately laughed out loud.

Taoist Simu immediately looked at Qingqing and asked, "Qingqing, what have you been doing these days?"

Jiale's face changed, and he quickly looked at Qingqing pleadingly.

Qingqing glanced at Jiale, covered her mouth with her hands and laughed, "I don't know, I've always been home."

Jiale breathed a sigh of relief.

But then he thought about it and felt something was wrong. After all, Qingqing was at home and didn't know what he was doing, which meant he was not at home.

Sure enough, Taoist Simu jumped up and hit Jiale on the head with a "bang chestnut".

"Qingqing didn't even see you at home, and you still dare to say you practice every day?"

"Also, look at how tanned you are."

"You little brat, you never learn your lesson and just play tricks on me, your master!"

Jiale covered his head with his hands, a strange expression of pain and laughter on his face.

Taoist Simu immediately glared at Jiale angrily, handed the bell and soul-guiding lamp to Jiale, and said unhappily, "Go, put these zombies in the morgue!"

"Yes, yes, Master!"

Jiale quickly took it and quickly led the zombies away, obviously afraid that Taoist Simu would continue to deal with him.

Taoist Simu then looked at Chen Yulou and said with a smile: "Your Senior Brother Le is similar to your two senior brothers, both of them are useless guys."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou just smiled and kept silent.

After all, Taoist Simu is the teacher and can speak, while he is of the same generation and has no right to criticize Jiale and the others.

But to be honest, if it were the original Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, they were still far inferior to Jia Le. Although Jia Le was also playful, he was really useful when it came time to work hard.

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai used to be useless when they should have been contributing, and they even made trouble. However, since he came, both Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai have changed a lot.

Seeing that Chen Yuliu remained silent, Taoist Simu began to approve of Chen Yuliu more and more. If it were his disciple Jiale, he would probably have started to criticize and talk at length.

Then, Taoist Simu looked at Qingqing and asked, "Where is your master?"

Qingqing immediately smiled and said, "My master is chanting sutras."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Simu's face darkened and he said with some disdain, "Chanting sutras, chanting sutras, chanting sutras in the morning and chanting sutras in the evening, it's even more annoying than flies and mosquitoes!"

After saying that, Taoist Simu turned away and went back to the house.

"whee!!"

Qingqing, who was standing by, glanced at Taoist Simu's back and immediately burst into laughter.

"What makes Miss Qingqing so happy?" Chen Yulou looked at Qingqing and smiled faintly.

Qingqing immediately said, "What else could it be? It's just my master chanting. Not only does Taoist Simu hate it, I hate it too. I get woken up by him every morning before daybreak."

"You can't even sleep in."

Seeing Qingqing's expression of being angry but not daring to speak out is really adorable.

Chen Yulou thought for a moment and then said, "If you really can't stand it, you can make earplugs out of cotton. Even if you can't completely hear Master Ikkyu's chanting, it should be able to reduce it a lot."

"Yup!"

"Plug your ears. Why didn't I think of that?"

"That's great, thank you, Brother Chen!"

"I'll go back and do it right away!" Qingqing suddenly realized, jumped three feet high, and ran back excitedly.

Halfway through the run, Qingqing turned around and said to Chen Yulou, "By the way, Brother Chen, tell the Taoist priest to come over for breakfast!"

"I see!"

Chen Yulou nodded.

Seeing Qingqing running back happily like a happy cat, he shook his head slightly and walked back to the house with his hands behind his back.

Taoist Simu in the room had taken off his peach wood sword and Taoist robe and was washing up.

Seeing Chen Yulou coming in, Taoist Simu wiped his hair with a towel and glanced at Chen Yulou.

Suddenly, Taoist Simu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "The spirit is clear and bright, and the Qi flows in all directions!"

"Wait, Yulou, you... have already reached the Soul Nurturing Realm?"

Taoist Simu looked at Chen Yulou in astonishment.

He hadn't noticed it just now, but now after a closer look, he saw that Chen Yulou's mind was clear and his body was independent, not disturbed by the external worldly Qi. At the same time, his Qi flowed in all directions and was full of edges and corners. This was obviously a sign that the five major Ren and Du acupoints had been opened up, and he had been promoted to the level of soul nourishment.

Chen Yulou immediately nodded and said, "Master, I luckily had a breakthrough a few days ago."

Taoist Simu immediately stepped forward and took a look at Chen Yulou, and said with a sigh: "No wonder the Grandmaster was able to grant you the fifth-level Zi Lu, your talent is indeed shocking."

It's only been about half a month since Chen Yulou became his disciple, but this kid has already reached the Soul Nurturing Realm. What a terrifying talent.

"Also, there's no such thing as luck when it comes to progressing on the road. It all depends on your own ability!"

Taoist Simu rolled his eyes at Chen Yulou and said, "You are too modest."

Chen Yulou could only smile faintly upon hearing this.

Taoist Simu then turned around and walked into his bedroom. After a while, he came out holding a sword with a black leather scabbard.

He came to Chen Yulou, handed the sword in his hand to Chen Yulou and said, "This is the peach wood sword I want to give you. It is called Lei Xiao."

"If you don't like it, you can choose a name you like."

How could Taoist Simu not know the purpose of Chen Yulou coming to him? Although it hurt, he would naturally not go back on his word.

"Take this sword. I believe you will not bury it."
