A cat that lingers beside a saint

Chapter 89 I want to fish, I can even fish for dragons.

Bamboo with six pure roots.

It actually hurts quite a bit when it hits you.

The feeling was like going back to the past, when the old Taoist priest whipped me with a rattan cane.

I remember once, Su Bai accidentally tore up the old Taoist's bedding that was drying in the yard with his claws.

Without saying a word, the old Taoist priest picked up a vine from the ground and chased after him, whipping him.

At that time, he thought the old Taoist priest neither knew cultivation nor magic, and since he was a cat, how could he possibly defeat him?

But the old Taoist proved with facts that no matter where he ran, the vine would still fall on him.

Snapped!

Just as he was thinking this, the Six Roots of Purity Bamboo landed on his forehead once again.

Su Bai's face was gloomy, and he silently noted down another number in his mind.

Eight!

Eight times now.

The bamboo has hit him on the forehead eight times.

……

At the same time, Zhunti's face gradually became somewhat distorted.

This cat was more difficult to handle than he had imagined.

These six bamboo sticks can dispel all distracting thoughts; striking them with a stick can bring peace of mind.

But the cat's many distracting thoughts were giving him a headache.

He hadn't even finished his first sentence since he started preaching, and the bamboo had already struck him eight times.

After each beating, the cat's eyes seemed to clear up a bit, but it would soon fall into a daze again.

As the number of times increased, the way the cat looked at him became increasingly strange.

Zhunti took a deep breath.

Recalling what had happened before, when the cat was in Yuanshi's white jade palace, Yuanshi suddenly became angry.

In another instance, the Supreme Being preached to a cat, but suddenly stopped halfway through.

At that moment, Zhunti suddenly realized the truth.

be cheated!

……

"Fellow Daoist, you have quite the skill. This cat is truly a piece of rotten wood."

Outside the Taoist temple, Zhunti held the drowsy Su Bai in one hand and the Six Roots of Purity Bamboo in the other.

"Rotten wood?"

"You dare call me rotten wood? Even if my disciple is a pile of cow dung, only I can utter those words."

Zhunti smiled faintly, saying that accepting defeat is a matter of course.

Although he was somewhat reluctant to part with it, upon closer reflection, he realized that keeping the bamboo by his side would be meaningless.

As for his senior brother, he had already asked him, but his senior brother didn't seem to care at all.

As my senior brother said, the disputes between sages are long gone.

These magical treasures will one day either be buried in the river of time along with the sages, or fall into the hands of others.

Rather than letting it go to waste, it's better to give it away as a favor.

Zhunti Daoist slightly raised his hand, and Su Bai flew directly towards the old Daoist.

He raised his other hand, his gaze falling on the Six Roots of Purity Bamboo. After a long while, he chuckled and said, "Back then, the West was barren. In order to greatly promote the West, I traveled east and west. Whenever I saw something good or a talented person, I wanted to bring them to the West."

"But now, it's all for nothing."

"All living beings in this world say that the way of Heaven is heartless and unjust, but in reality, the way of Heaven is just. Fellow Daoist, without the Jie Sect, I, this humble Daoist, would be without the Western Sect."

"The disciples of the Jie Sect of yesteryear have now entered the Heavenly Court to enjoy incense offerings and divine status, while my Western Sect has changed its allegiance and become the Western Buddhism."

"How laughable, how pathetic, how lamentable, how delightful!"

The old Taoist priest glanced at him, looking at him standing outside the door, but the smiling face he used to have was gone.

Looking closely now, his face hasn't changed much, but his demeanor has become more desolate.

The old Taoist priest didn't say much, he just waved his hand.

Seeing the old Taoist wave his hand, Zhunti raised an eyebrow slightly, and without saying a word, turned around to leave.

But just as he was about to leave, the old Taoist suddenly reached out and grabbed the Six Roots of Purity Bamboo.

"You can leave, but please leave your belongings behind."

……

Inside the courtyard, a gentle breeze carried the fragrance of osmanthus.

On the Fusang tree, the Golden Crow yawned loudly, and its cry caused all the monsters in the Endless Mountain Range to instinctively shut their mouths.

Beside the rocking chair, Wanling gently pounded the old Taoist's shoulder with her small fist, her gaze fixed on the six pure bamboo sticks in his hand.

"Sir, this bamboo looks ordinary. Is it really that amazing?"

The old Taoist chuckled and said, "This thing looks ordinary on the surface, but it is actually transformed from the bitter bamboo, one of the ten great spiritual roots."

"It was obtained by the Western Daoist who guided us back then, and later refined it into its current form. It is an innate spiritual treasure. If you are accidentally hit by it, it can seal off a person's six senses and temporarily plunge them into chaos. It can be described as a weapon of ambush."

Looking at the bamboo staff, the old Taoist priest couldn't help but recall Wuyun Xian, who was beaten back to his original form by this very staff during the Investiture of the Gods.

After a moment of silence, the old Taoist stroked Su Bai in his arms and said with a faint smile, "This cat likes to sharpen its teeth with this little sword, but a sword is still a sword, a weapon."

"But bamboo is different; it's perfect for grinding your teeth."

Perhaps having thought of something, the old Taoist's eyes lit up slightly and he said, "We can use this bamboo to launch a sneak attack, and then kill them with a small sword. If we use these two together, I'm afraid the enemy will have a hard time resisting."

Thinking of this, the old Taoist priest couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Behind him, Wanling looked completely bewildered.

She had witnessed the old Taoist priest fighting four opponents in the Empress's palace. Although he was at a disadvantage in the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, his aura was comparable to that of the Four Saints.

Even when facing the Four Saints, the old Taoist disdained to use sneak attacks to deal with them.

But now...

She really wanted to say, "Third Master, you weren't like this before!"

……

In his arms, Su Bai slowly woke up.

The first thing he saw when he woke up was the old Taoist priest, and his face darkened.

Without saying a word, he rushed up and started biting the old Taoist's palm.

"You unfilial disciple, what are you doing?"

"Meow!"

"You dare to curse me? You're itching for a beating after just a few days?"

"Meow!!!"

……

As the sun set, Su Bai ate the six bamboo sticks he was holding.

To be honest, while the sword was good for grinding his teeth, he was always worried that he might accidentally pierce his mouth when it touched his teeth.

Now, with these six bamboo stalks, I no longer have this worry about chewing them.

Although the Six Roots Pure Bamboo tastes alright when you bite into it, it's clear that Nezha's fingers are much more fragrant.

For a fleeting moment, Su Bai even had the urge to bite off a piece from Nezha's hand.

After all, lotus root is sweeter than bamboo.

……

Ever since Su Bai got this bamboo, Jinwu has suffered terribly.

When he had nothing to do, Su Bai would always use bamboo to fish for him.

But the Golden Crow couldn't even muster the thought of resistance.

But after a while, Su Bai got tired of it.

Fishing for the golden crow is really boring.

After all, you can't eat it even if you catch it.

Suddenly, Su Bai remembered the Jade Pool in Heaven.
