Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

Chapter 206 1 Master Xiu's Sorrow

The pill can be refined in five days.

Lu Li really counted the days as they passed, and he didn't think much of it when Uncle Jiu was around.

This time Uncle Jiu was not here, so Lu Li was in charge of the affairs of Wanning Palace by himself, which made him very busy.

It just so happened that the Taoist competition was approaching and I had to go and receive some acquaintances.

They are also responsible for arranging their food and accommodation.

I'm so busy that I'm overwhelmed.

What Lu Li feared most in his previous life was trouble, but he didn't expect that in this life he would always cause trouble for himself.

Three days later, Taoist Simu finally arrived at Maoshan.

"Wahahaha, we're finally here. I've been listening to you nagging along the whole way.

Okay, I'm here too, I won't keep you company any longer."

Master Ikkyu chanted a Buddhist name and looked at Taoist Simu with a smile.

"Simu, where do I and my disciples live?"

"You can stay wherever you like, at an inn or ask a Maoshan disciple to arrange one for you."

"Hehe, I don't have any money, so I'll just follow you."

There was no trace of shame on Master Ikkyu's face.

"What? You mean you want me to arrange food and lodging for you?"

Taoist Simu pointed at his nose and asked.

"We are good neighbors. I'm so sorry to bother you again."

"Why? Do you really think I owe you something?

I.....forget it, just follow me."

Taoist Simu stared at Master Ikkyu for a long time with gritted teeth, and finally sighed and gave in.

On the way up the mountain, Taoist Simu said:

"You just calculated it right. I will let you follow me, right?"

"That's impossible, but I know you wouldn't have the heart to let us sleep on the streets.

Hey, I said we are good neighbors, and good neighbors should help each other."

Master Ikkyu said with a smile.

Among them, Jiale is the happiest one, as he has not been able to catch up with Qingqing for so many years.

Qingqing always treated him with ambiguity.

In fact, Qingqing didn’t dislike Jiale, but every time she thought about spending her whole life with Jiale.

For some reason, Lu Li's figure appeared in her mind.

Comparing the two of them, Qingqing lost interest.

But she and Lu Li had only met once or twice and had not spoken much.

She didn't know why this happened.

Master Ikkyu had never intended for Qingqing to become a nun and live out her life in solitude; that would have been too cruel to such a young girl.

So I'm happy to see her and Jiale become a couple.

But after a few years, there was no sign of any spark between them.

One time I couldn’t help but ask Qingqing.

Qingqing also told the truth, knowing that it was because of Lu Li.

Master Ikkyu looked helpless. How many people in the world could become like Lu Li?

From his behavior and character, you can tell that he is a person who is devoted to Taoism.

How could such a person allow himself to be dragged down by his children's love affairs?

He had no choice but to tell Qingqing the truth. Qingqing was silent for a long time, and finally insisted on asking Lu Li in person.

This is how Master Ikkyu and his disciples followed Taoist Master Simu to Mount Maoshan.

Watching the Taoist competition was just an excuse.

He is a monk and doesn't like to use violence.

What's the point of watching the Taoist competition?

Taoist Simu took them to his residence in Maoshan.

The house has three bedrooms and is quite spacious.

"Hmph, divide it among yourselves. I'm going to take a rest."

After saying that, he picked a bedroom, walked in and closed the door.

Looking at the remaining two rooms, Master Ikkyu said:

"Jia Le, I'm sorry to have to share a room with you."

Jiale smiled and said, "I don't feel wronged. I am so happy to be able to share a room with the master."

The three of them returned to the room and simply tidied and washed up.

After waiting for a while, the voice of Taoist Simu was heard outside.

"It's time for dinner, Jiale, what are you hesitating about? The monks have gone to the cafeteria to eat.

Otherwise, there will be nothing to eat soon!"

When the three of them walked out of the room, they saw Taoist Simu wearing a new Taoist robe and with hair oil on his hair.

Black and shiny.

Master Ikkyu circled around him.

"Hey, Simu, why are you dressed so handsomely and even wearing hair oil? Who are you planning to meet?"

Taoist Simu raised his head with some pride.

"Who said I can't wear new clothes when meeting fellow disciples? I finally come back once, so of course I have to dress up."

"Oh, sure, of course you can meet your fellow disciples."

"Do you want to eat or not? Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

After saying that, Taoist Simu walked in front and the few of them walked towards the cafeteria.

There is a canteen on each of the nine peaks of Maoshan Mountain, which is convenient for disciples to get meals.

Simu and the others are all the master's true disciples, so they have always lived in Damao Peak.

Apart from the Maoshan disciples, Master Ikkyu did not see any outside guests on the road.

"Simu, why don't I see any disciples from other sects? Some should have arrived by now."

“They are all at the Fifth Peak, which is where guests are received.

This is Wanfu Palace, and people only come here to receive important guests.

Even if I come here and wait until night, I will stay at the Fifth Peak.”

Taoist Simu explained.

When he entered the cafeteria, Master Ikkyu discovered that there were both vegetarian and meat dishes.

I was very satisfied with the food classification at Maoshan.

There were not many disciples coming to the cafeteria to eat, only about twenty or so, and most of them were servants.

When they saw Taoist Master Simu, everyone bowed respectfully.

"I didn't realize you were so arrogant, Simu."

Master Ikkyu laughed.

"Of course, everyone in Maoshan knows me, Simu. I am the master's direct disciple."

Being praised by Master Ikkyu, Taoist Simu felt as refreshed as drinking a glass of ice water in the middle of summer.

Looking around, Master Ikkyu asked.

"Why don't I see Taoist Lu Li? Isn't he the head of your Maoshan sect?"

"You are talking about my nephew. He is at Ermao Peak. He is the elder of Maoshan, so of course he has to live at Ermao Peak with my brother."

Master Ikkyu nodded and glanced at Qingqing. Qingqing's eyes lit up. She finally heard news about Lu Li again.

After the four of them finished their meal, on their way back, Master Ikkyu asked Taoist Simu and Jiale to go back first.

He planned to take Qingqing to Ermao Peak.

Taoist Simu was about to visit his four fellow disciples, so they separated temporarily.

"Master, is this Ermao Peak? Does Taoist Lu usually live here?"

Qingqing asked excitedly.

"This is what the disciple just mentioned. It must be Wanning Palace."

Master Ikkyu frowned and looked worried.

He was very worried that Qingqing would be depressed after being rejected, as a girl of this age was too ignorant about love.

Walking into Wanning Palace, Lu Li was having dinner with Ao Tianlong, Zhuge Kongping and others.

I was a little surprised to see Master Ikkyu bringing Qingqing in.

"Master Ikkiu, Qingqing, when did you guys come? Didn't Master Chen come with you?"

When Master Ikkyu saw so many people here, his heart tightened and he thought about how to start the conversation.

"Amitabha! Simu has gone to visit his fellow disciples. Qingqing and I don't know him, so we came to see you because we thought of you.

I didn't expect you were entertaining guests here. I'm so sorry."

Lu Li asked the two to sit down and poured them tea.

After introducing them to each other, they learned that Master Ikkyu was a true Buddhist monk.

Ao Tianlong and others also stood in awe.

When Qingqing met Hua Ling, Ao Lingshuang and Zhuge Xiaohua, she felt a little unconfident.

These three girls are no worse looking than herself, and their temperaments are very outstanding.

His background is better than mine, so why would Lu Li fall for me?

Thinking of this, I felt a little depressed. Master Ikkyu was talking to a few people.

With just a glance, he naturally knew what Qingqing was thinking. Although this girl looked arrogant on weekdays, she was still a little inferior in her heart.

He lost his parents very early, and if he had not met the traveling Master Ikkyu, he would have been sold to a bad place or starved to death.

"Master Lu, may I trouble you with something? It may be very intrusive, but it concerns Qingqing's future.

If you have any mission in the future, I will do it without hesitation."

Master Ikkyu asked.

Is this about Qingqing? Lu Li was puzzled.

But according to Master Ikkyu, there must be some difficulty that is related to oneself.
