I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

Qingqing muttered a few words, feeling just like going to school. Although she had never been to school, she had eavesdropped a few times outside a private school when she was a child, but in the end, nothing came of it.

On the one hand, her family didn't have the money to support her education; if they did, they would send the boys to school. On the other hand, the world was too chaotic, and she had to shoulder the responsibility of supporting her family at such a young age.

If it weren't for the fact that her entire family died for some reason, and that she happened to meet Master Ikkyu, she would have been arranged to get married at her age.

Following Master Ikkyu was simple. On one hand, he had saved my life, and on the other hand, it was dangerous for me to live alone in this chaotic world. It would be better to go back to the mountains with him.

She had originally intended to become his disciple, but Master Ikkyu refused, stating that he did not accept female disciples.

She didn't dwell on it too much, and just thought about helping Ikkyu with some odd jobs.

"The Taoist priests' discussions on Taoism are quite interesting, but I lack the talent, otherwise I would definitely be there listening!"

Both of them were highly skilled in Taoist arts, and Jiale knew that listening to them over there would be beneficial to him.

So he would have preferred to stay and listen, but he couldn't help feeling that it was incredibly obscure when he first listened, so in the end he had no choice but to give up.

"Is this really interesting?"

Qingqing's eyes widened in disbelief. This was just like studying; the teacher was lecturing, and you were listening. At most, it was just two teachers arguing.

"Those with talent will naturally find it interesting, while those without talent will find it boring."

Master Ikkyu clasped his hands together and looked at the courtyard to the side. He had an idea in his mind. Perhaps he had been too attached to his own obsession and had become attached to appearances.

Ultimately, in a group of three, there is bound to be one who can teach me.

What's there to be ashamed of?

Besides, I was just getting to know another fellow Daoist, not bowing down to that four-eyed guy.

"That's right, that's it!"

After listening to Master Ikkyu's words, Jiale nodded repeatedly, saying that was exactly what he wanted to say.

If he had the talent, he would find the conversation quite interesting.

"That's it."

Qingqing pondered for a while, feeling somewhat ashamed, perhaps realizing she had been too short-sighted.

"Alright, let's have a couple of bites together. We'll go see them together later."

Master Yixiu waved his hand and said no more. After he finished speaking, he turned around and went back, leaving Jiale behind with a completely bewildered look on his face.

Didn't he say he wasn't going? Why did he suddenly go?

Jiale thought to himself, "Does that mean I have to go back with them?"

I was thinking of staying here for a while longer.

It seems my happy times are coming to an end.

After the three of them had a quick bite, Master Yixiu took some things and followed Jiale into the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, one could faintly hear Si Mu's voice talking to an unfamiliar voice.

"Master, Master Ikkyu has arrived!"

Jiale's words interrupted their discussion. The two looked outside together. Master Simu looked somewhat displeased, while Baiye calmly looked at Jiale, a monk, and a young girl who were walking over.

Master Ikkyu and Qingqing?

Bai Ye muttered to himself, then looked away. Meanwhile, Master Simu was staring wide-eyed at Jia Le and said, "Jia Le, didn't you see that my fellow Daoist and I were discussing the Dao? Why didn't you stop this stinky monk when he came over?"

He never had a good attitude towards Master Yixiu, which made Jiale feel a little awkward. However, Master Yixiu didn't seem to care and chuckled, saying, "I came to see Fellow Daoist Bai. We are all cultivators, and I'm just saying hello. I haven't bothered anyone, have I?"

As he spoke, Master Ikkyu put his hands together, smiled kindly at Byakuya, and bowed.

Bai Ye returned to the past with the same etiquette.

Behind him, Qingqing also looked at Bai Ye with some curiosity.

Master Si Mu was very much in line with his preconceived notions, but Bai Ye was completely different from what he had imagined.

This Taoist priest, with his elegant and gentlemanly appearance, was truly beyond Qingqing's expectations.

At the same time, looking at Ren Tingting sitting obediently next to Bai Ye, she felt a sense of inferiority and defeat.

This girl is so beautiful, and her temperament is completely different from mine. I feel like a country girl, while she is like a young lady from a wealthy family. This inevitably makes Qingqing feel a little inferior.

"Since you're all here, fellow Daoist, why don't you sit down and discuss the Dao together?"

"Of course!"

"Hey, hey, hey, you monk really have a thick skin!"

Master Yixiu readily accepted Baiye's invitation, but this made Master Simu somewhat unhappy.

Of course, this displeasure was directed at Master Ikkyu.

They were discussing the Tao, so what was this monk thinking when he came along to join in the fun?

Does a monk know what the Tao is?

"Meeting is fate, Buddhism is the Tao, Buddhism is the Tao!"

Master Ikkyu said with a smile, ignoring what Master Simu said, and then sat down with a thud.

Master Four Eyes was truly helpless against his shameless behavior and could only accept his joining.

Seeing this, Qingqing also sat down behind Master Yixiu. When Jiale saw that everyone was looking at him, he had no choice but to sit behind Simu and listen to their discussion.

Ren Tingting listened intently throughout the night, while Jiale was drowsy. Qingqing, though sometimes unable to understand, found it very interesting, and at times she was able to grasp the concepts, which impressed the three of them.

At the same time, this gave Master Ikkyu an idea.

As dawn broke, Master Simu, seeing Jiale still fast asleep, grew furious. He kicked Jiale and growled, "Go and cook! You've been sleeping here all night!"

Even young girls can't compare to him, I'm truly impressed!

This disciple is a real headache!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 145 High-Level Zombie? Wasn't it supposed to be solved with one shot? Four Eyes, what are you afraid of?

"it hurts!"

Jiale was kicked awake, and before he could even complain, he was met with a murderous glare from Simu.

This made him swallow back all the complaints he had in his heart.

He nodded guiltily and immediately ran off to cook.

He did fall asleep last night, but how could he have been the only one asleep? Didn't he show no interest in Qingqing before?

"Qingqing, how was the listening last night?"

Watching Jiale run off in a hurry, Master Yixiu chuckled and shook his head. Then he turned to look at Qingqing. At the beginning of yesterday, he would still check on whether Qingqing was listening to him.

After the three people got into a lively conversation, he didn't pay much attention to Qingqing's condition anymore.

However, he remembered that Qingqing had listened with great interest at first.

"Although it's a bit obscure, it's also quite interesting."

"Is that so? Have you ever thought about cultivating?"

In chaotic times, those who cultivate the Tao are actually better off than ordinary people.

At least in terms of safety, they are definitely better off than them. They not only have to face this chaotic world, but also all sorts of demons and monsters.

It's clearly not a long-term solution for Qingqing to stay with him.

Ultimately, he was a monk, and he couldn't keep a woman by his side forever.

Qingqing was clearly stunned after hearing this.

This is? !

"Does Master intend to take on a disciple?"

Qingqing was a little surprised. Hadn't she made it clear before that she didn't want to take on any apprentices?

Even Si Mu, who was standing to the side, found it strange that the old monk would take on a female disciple.

"No, I just think you have a talent for cultivation, don't you think so, Fellow Daoist Bai?"

Master Yixiu chuckled and shook his head, then turned to Bai Ye and asked. Following his words, Qingqing also looked over, clearly showing that she was also somewhat looking forward to it.

I think my talent is pretty good, right?

Even if I don't pursue cultivation in the future, I don't want people to say that I lack talent.

"His talent is decent; at least he won't fall asleep."

Bai Ye joked, and this answer left Qingqing somewhat at a loss. She didn't understand at all whether her talent was good or bad.

"Master, Uncle-Master Qianhe has arrived!"

Jiale was panting heavily, pointing outside. He had been washing vegetables outside when he saw a large group of people walking towards him.

Jiale was initially puzzled as to who might be in this remote mountain forest, but upon closer inspection, he saw four disciples of Uncle Qianhe, representing the four cardinal directions.

So he rushed in and told Master Simu about it, saying that Uncle Qianhe probably came here to see his master.

"Chizuru?"

Si Mu suddenly stood up and then walked quickly outside.

Chizuru has always been on the frontier. Is she back now because of some urgent matter?

"Brother!"

"Junior brother!"

After exchanging pleasantries, the two brothers looked at the high-level Taoist priest with great interest, while also focusing their attention on the bronze horn and golden coffin.

Frontier royal family zombies.

Although royalty doesn't seem to be very useful in this world, they do indeed possess dragon energy. Having been born into high positions for many years, coupled with dying far from home and on the battlefield, their resentment is indeed quite strong.

In the movie, even without the lightning, it probably wouldn't have been able to suppress the zombie.

The inkstone and glutinous rice couldn't suppress it at all; this zombie was much more powerful than Old Master Ren.
