Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 57 Jiale: I feel like I’ve always lived in my senior brother’s shadow

"Brother, let's go. It's Master Ikkyu who lives next door. I'll take you to meet him."

Upon hearing this, Guan Shaoqing put down the chicken he had just killed and looked at Master Ikkyu who was walking towards him from outside the yard.

The appearance of Master Ikkyu in our sight is exactly the same as in the original movie. He looks to be in his fifties, with a kind face and a smile on his face when he speaks.

Following behind her was a disciple dressed in gray men's clothes but with a beautiful and pure face. It was undoubtedly Qingqing, the female disciple brought back from outside by Master Ikkyu in the original drama. However, now she was dressed in men's clothes and had an extraordinary aerobic performance. People who did not know the truth might not be sure that she was a girl.

Then Guan Shaoqing also walked towards the gate of the courtyard. At this time, Jiale and Ikkiu were already having a lively conversation at the gate.

"Master, you're back. Who is this person behind you?"

"This is the apprentice I just accepted from outside. You can just call her Qingqing. Qingqing, this is the Jiale I told you about."

Upon hearing this, Jiale immediately smiled and looked at Qingqing and said, "Hello, Brother Qingqing, my name is Jiale."

Qingqing, who was about to respond to Jiale, suddenly turned dark when she heard the word "brother" and said unhappily, "Who is your brother? Who is your brother?" She is a girl, okay?

"Did I say something wrong?"

Jiale saw Qingqing's face suddenly turn dark and he didn't quite understand what the problem was. He scratched his head and looked at Master Ikkyu in confusion.

At this time, Guan Shaoqing came up and said with a smile.

"Brother, you haven't understood yet. Master Ikkyu's disciple is not a man, but a girl. You said that Miss Qingqing would be unhappy."

"Ah, girl?!"

Jiale was shocked when he heard that. He really hadn't noticed that. Then he couldn't help but look at Qingqing carefully again, especially at Qingqing's chest. He thought to himself how could there be such a flat girl? Her chest muscles were even thinner than his own.

"you!"

Qingqing, who felt Jiale's gaze, instantly became even angrier, especially Jiale's gaze, which was simply a critical hit of 10,000 points.

"Meet Master Ikkyu."

Guan Shaoqing couldn't help but shake his head and laugh when he saw this, then he took the initiative to greet Ikkyu.

"Amitabha, thank you for your courtesy. I don't even know your full name." Upon hearing this, Ikkyu looked at Guan Shaoqing and returned the greeting.

"I'm Shaoqing from Xiaguan."

"Master, this is my senior brother, the apprentice of my uncle Lin." Jiale, knowing that he had made Qingqing angry, quickly interrupted to introduce him.

"So he's Master Lin's most talented disciple."

"Master, you are overpraising me."

Just at this moment, Uncle Jiu and Simu, who heard the sound, also came out of the house.

"Master Ikkyu." Uncle Jiu and Ikkyu knew each other. When he saw Ikkyu, Uncle Jiu immediately smiled and greeted him politely from afar.

"Fellow Daoist Lin." Ikkyu also returned the greeting.

"Monk, you are not dead yet. I thought you died outside." Simu looked at Ikkyu with an unhappy face and said.

"Fellow Daoist Simu is not dead yet, how can I be willing to die first? I, a monk, will at least wait until Fellow Daoist Simu dies before I am willing to die." Ikkyu was not annoyed when he heard this, but instead retorted with a smile.

The two are old enemies, the kind that always quarrel when they meet, and Ah Le always had to smooth things over.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel as soon as they met, Ah Le quickly approached them again and whispered to smooth things over.

"Master, please give my master some time, and my uncle and brother are here today."

"Master, my uncle and my brother are here today. Please don't argue with the master for their sake."

After hearing this, Simu stopped thinking about arguing with Ikkyu.

"Today, for the sake of my senior brother and nephew, I will not argue with you."

"Master, don't be angry. You just came back and haven't made breakfast yet. Why don't you come here and have breakfast together later?" Jiale said to smooth things over.

"In that case, it would be disrespectful for us to refuse. I believe that Daoist Fellow Simu will not be unwelcome." Upon hearing this, Ikkyu responded and looked at Simu with a smile.

"Humph, it's just two more pairs of chopsticks. For the sake of my senior brother, come in and sit down."

Simu still refused to give in, but he did not refuse either.

"Master, please go in and have a cup of tea with my master and uncle. My brother and I will continue to prepare the meal. It will be ready soon."

"Okay, Qingqing, you go and help too."

"Yes, master."

"Miss Qingqing, I'm so sorry for what happened just now. I didn't know you were a girl."

When they got to the kitchen, Jiale quickly apologized to Qingqing.

Upon hearing this, Qingqing glanced at Jiale and said, "Forget it, let's just assume that you are innocent because you are ignorant." "That's great, my dear girl, let me teach you how to cook." Jiale was immediately overjoyed upon hearing this and said quickly.

Qingqing looked at Guan Shaoqing who was about to pluck the chicken and said, "No need. I'll help Brother Shaoqing pluck the chicken."

After saying that, Qingqing left Jiale, who looked hurt, and walked towards Guan Shaoqing: "Brother Shaoqing, let me help you pluck the hair." Compared to Jiale, who looked a little silly and ordinary, she felt that Guan Shaoqing, who had a handsome face and a jade-like temperament, looked better and was more willing to get close to him.

"Let's eat!"

Soon, breakfast was ready with Jiale's "yo".

Because of the presence of Guan Shaoqing and his disciple Jiushu, Simu and Ikkyu did not quarrel at the dinner table like in the movie.

After finishing the meal, Ikkyu said goodbye.

"Thank you very much for your hospitality, Fellow Daoists Simu and Lin. Now that we have finished our meal, I will take my leave. I have been away for a long time and need to clean up the house. However, Fellow Daoists Simu and Lin please do not prepare dinner. I will prepare it myself and let me fulfill my duty as a host."

"Hmph, you monk still have some conscience and know the importance of reciprocity. Then we will go to your place for dinner tonight. Remember to include meat." Simu said immediately after hearing this.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Simu, there will definitely be meat." Ikkyu said with a smile.

"Then you, as a monk, will break your vows." Simu said jokingly.

Ikkyu put his hands together and said with a smile: "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart." Who said he was a serious monk?

"Then I'll trouble you a lot when the time comes." Uncle Jiu also spoke politely at this time.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you are too polite. As the saying goes, meeting is destiny. I have come back today and I have met you. It is also a kind of fate. Fate should not be wasted."

After such polite exchanges, Yi Su and his disciple Qing Qing left first.

"Brother, it's rare for you and Shaoqing to come to my place. Why don't you stay a few more nights before leaving? Anyway, it's a long way to get ordained at Maoshan, so there's no rush." After Ikkyu and his apprentice left, they looked at Uncle Jiu again.

"Okay, then I'll stay here for two nights before leaving." Uncle Jiu also nodded.

Guan Shaoqing had no objection to this. Simu was a place with picturesque scenery and a tranquil environment. If he stayed for two more nights, he could also travel around.

"Brother, have you already broken through to the Refining Realm?!"

Jia Le, who was standing next to him, was shocked when he heard that he had to go to Maoshan to receive the Taoist ordination. He looked at Guan Shaoqing in disbelief.

As a disciple of Maoshan, and a disciple raised by Simu since childhood, Jiale was naturally familiar with the matter of receiving the Taoist ordination certificate. He also clearly understood how difficult it was to receive the ordination certificate. He had to break through to the realm of refinement, but this was extremely difficult.

Moreover, Guan Shaoqing looked to be only in his twenties, not much different from him, yet he had already broken through the realm of refinement and was going to Maoshan to receive the Taoist ordination.

"Well, I just had a breakthrough a while ago by luck." Guan Shaoqing smiled and nodded in agreement when he heard that.

Simu took this opportunity to criticize Jialedao.

"Look at your senior brother Shaoqing, and then look at you. You are about the same age. Your senior brother has already cultivated the Dao and refined the True Qi, but you are still struggling in the late stage of Qi Refining, and all you do every day is go fishing in the river. If you don't work hard in the future, I will show you how I will deal with you."

"I'll give you a small goal first. Break through to the peak of Qi Refining within two years. Is that a problem?"

Jiale shrank his neck immediately when he heard this. Even if he had any questions at this time, he didn't dare to say anything. He nodded quickly.

"Master, don't worry. I will definitely follow my senior brother's example and practice well in the future."

In fact, Jiale's talent is not bad and can even be said to be good. His cultivation has reached the late stage of Qi Refining, and his martial arts skills are not low either. Under normal circumstances, it is no problem for him to beat seven or eight strong men with his bare hands. This level of cultivation is considered outstanding among the younger generation of Maoshan disciples.

But compared with Guan Shaoqing, it is indeed not as good as before.

Moreover, Jiale did like to slack off during his daily training, so Simu wanted to use Guan Shaoqing to teach him a lesson.

With Jiale's talent, as long as he works hard, it will not be difficult for him to break through the realm of refinement and inherit Simu's legacy in the future.

Compared with Qiu Sheng and Wencai, he is much stronger.

"Well, that's pretty much it."

Seeing that Jiale had agreed obediently, Simu nodded in satisfaction. Without saying anything more, he invited Uncle Jiu into the house to have tea and chat, leaving Guan Shaoqing and Jiale alone.

"Brother, I'm really miserable. I won't have a good life in the future." Jiale's face suddenly changed and he couldn't help but complain to Guan Shaoqing miserably.

"The deeper the love, the more severe the criticism. Uncle Master also hopes that you will become successful." Guan Shaoqing comforted him.

"Alas, of course I know that Master is doing this for the best, but I still like to be lazy." Jia Le sighed helplessly when he heard this, and then he looked at Guan Shaoqing expectantly as if he had thought of something and said, "By the way, Senior Brother, how do you practice? Do you have any tricks to teach me?"

Guan Shaoqing immediately patted Jiale on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.

"Junior brother, in the cultivation world, one must avoid being too eager for quick success. There are no shortcuts. One must be down-to-earth. Your brother and I have achieved what we have today thanks to our persistent efforts and down-to-earth cultivation."

Jiale: “.”

He felt that he would probably have to live under Guan Shaoqing's shadow from now on, and his master would definitely use his senior brother Guan Shaoqing to criticize him from time to time.

Bitter!
