come to the heavens

Before this body came, he was a well-known talent in Yangzhou City. Although Ye Chen did not inherit the memory of his predecessor, his own level is not bad. He spent more than a year slowly recovering from his illness, and touched some of his predecessor's interpersonal relationships for seven years. Qibaba, when he recovers from his illness, he pretends to be pretty, and doesn't show any flaws.

This coming is a bit special, the soul of the previous life was forcibly drawn out by the evil way, so there is no so-called last wish, this time coming he can do whatever he wants without restriction.

After finishing the last stroke, Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction. The bookboy swiftly removed the town stone, took off the rice paper and dried it gently, and hung it aside. There are already two sheets hanging there, ready to dry Framed for hanging on the wall or collection.

Waved his hand to signal Shutong to leave, closed the door and window, Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the big bed, and whispered:

"Destiny!"

The attribute and ability panel was unfolded, and there was only one skill on it-reborn body transformation skill, the eighth floor, and a full [-] potential points were needed to upgrade to the ninth floor.

In exchange for such a high consumption in the past, he still hesitated. Now that he has more than 800 million potential points, this consumption is nothing, and he confirmed the upgrade without hesitation.

Almost instantly, countless small warm currents gushed out from the depths of his body and penetrated into his limbs. Muscle meridians and even his dantian were all immersed in this warm current, undergoing some metamorphic changes.

Ye Chen is very familiar with this situation, he has experienced it eight times before, but it has never been as obvious as this time.

Nine is the extreme number, nine times of rebirth, it seems to imply a certain law, this time the rebirth is very obvious, almost all the bones and flesh of the whole body have been transformed once.

This is not an example, but the truth. All the bones and flesh in his body were swept away by an invisible force, scraping out a layer of impurities like scraping bones, converging and condensing into a stream of dark red blood that spewed out from his mouth. In the copper basin set before you.

After the metamorphosis, Ye Chen knew that this body was completely his own, and any hidden dangers that might arise when he came to seize the body would disappear with each rebirth, even if there was a strong man in this world standing in front of him and using the secrets and methods to deduce it. , and can't see what's wrong with him.

He has cultivated to the ninth floor of rebirth skill, although he can continue to improve later, but he is not going to continue to improve. Now the aptitude is already very good, there is no need to get some spiritual body, that is too high-profile.

After the preparations are complete, the next step is to apprentice and learn the Taoism of this world.

Ye Chen had already made preparations and found out that there were two confirmed monks and two suspected monks near Yangzhou City, and he was going to choose one to visit.

The two confirmed places for cultivating Taoism are a temple called Dafang in a mountain to the east of Yangzhou. The abbot, Zen Master Dafang, is said to have quite magical powers.

Along a certain big river to the west, there is a Taoist temple called Qingyun. Although the name of the temple is very popular, the owner of the temple does have magic power.

In addition, there are two other places where it is said that there are monks, but one of the two places is a bit far away, and the other is in the deep mountains and old forests, and they have always been hidden from the world, so you may not be able to find them if you look for them.

Ye Chen doesn't have too many demands on the teacher's school, as long as there are true practitioners.

A few days later, Ye Chen told his family in the name of Shangxiang that he took a group of servants to Qingyun Temple.

Qingyun Temple is located on a small hill by the Qingshui River. Its reputation is not obvious. It is based on the Taoist concept of inaction, and its incense is far inferior to Dafang Temple.

The carriage came to the foot of Qingyun Mountain along the gravel path. Ye Chen, who was wearing a white Confucian shirt, stepped out of the carriage and opened the bamboo paper fan in his hand.

Taking two servants and four guards up the mountain, they were not in a hurry while watching the storm while watching the scenery on the mountain.

Although the mountain is small, Qingyun Temple can build the Taoist temple here, because the scenery in the mountain is good, it is close to the river, and the water is abundant. I vaguely feel that the aura in the mountains is far stronger than other places.

Along the winding gravel path to the halfway up the mountain, the path turns into layers of stone steps. The vegetation on the roadside is lush and full of vitality. From time to time, you can see unknown birds flying over the treetops, making a crisp sound tweet.

Qingyun Temple was built on the upper half of the mountainside of Qingyun Mountain. After walking more than 200 stone steps, you will come to a mountainside platform. A thousand-year-old tree that is difficult for ten people to embrace grows behind the platform. Living on most of the platform, Qingyun Temple is built under the thousand-year-old tree.

Although Qingyun Temple is small, its reputation is not as good as that of Dafang Temple, but at least it has a bit of reputation. Occasionally, pilgrims come up. When Ye Chen came, there were several men and women dressed as servants waiting on the platform. It must be some rich family People come to worship God.

The gate of the temple is a bit dilapidated, and there is an old man wearing a starched and somewhat whitish old Taoist robe sitting at the door and dozing off. Ye Chen enters the temple with a servant and two guards. The old man just opened one eye and looked at him, then continued to close Eyes repose.

Qingyun doesn't look big, but the space inside is quite wide. At the first glance, you can see the huge thousand-year-old tree behind the main hall of the Taoist temple. The range of more than ten acres.

Signaling the guards to wait outside, Ye Chen led the guards into the main hall of the Taoist temple, and saw a young Taoist sitting on a yellow cloth futon and reciting scriptures. The slender figure in a light green long dress folded his hands and closed his eyes, muttering in a low voice, not knowing what he was reading.

When Ye Chen came in, the young Taoist priest opened his eyes, saw Ye Chen's handsome face and dusty temperament, and said with displeasure:

"This layman, is it offering incense or asking for a lottery?"

Ye Chen observed the young Taoist priest and confirmed that he was just an ordinary person, not a cultivator as he had imagined. He felt a little disappointed, but he didn't show it. He clasped his arms together and said:

"The people in Yangzhou have heard that Guanzhu Qingyun's Taoism is superb, so they come here to learn from their masters!"

"Uh!"

The young Taoist was stunned for a moment, not even offering incense, let alone enthusiasm, waved his hand and said:

"Master has traveled far away for half a year, and I don't know when he will return. Scholar, please wait for Master to come back."

"So unfortunate?"

Seeing the expression of the young Taoist priest, Ye Chen suspected that the young Taoist priest was lying.

Although this body is very young, after experiencing so many times, the real age may be thousands of years, and I don't know how many people and gods I have seen. The eyes of people are still very strong, and ordinary people can tell the truth at a glance.

After thinking for a while, he smiled and said:

"That's really unfortunate. Even if it's like this, it's worthwhile to go there for a stick of incense."

Chapter 623 Master Qingyun

After speaking, he stretched out his hand, and the servant boy behind him took out a complete silver ingot and put it in his hand. After weighing it, it might be about ten taels, and handed it to the young Taoist priest, saying:

"This is a small thought. Besides offering incense, I also want to have a vegetarian meal and stay overnight in the temple. Is it possible?"

The real gold and silver silver ingots were placed in front of him, and the young Taoist immediately put aside the jealousy in his heart, put a smile on his face, saluted, took the silver, and said with a smile:

"No problem. It just so happens that this lady also wants to have a vegetarian meal in the temple. I asked the temple to prepare more."

At this time, the woman just raised her head, and he saw a pair of charming phoenix eyes on the white scarf, and her white and delicate skin, she must be a beauty from the outline, her gestures are full of femininity, she is a graceful and beautiful young woman.

The woman also saw his appearance, she was stunned for a moment, and the next second a blush appeared on her charming face, and she lowered her head slightly.

Ye Chen's body was already handsome. After nine times of rebirth, his temperament is no longer that of ordinary people. In modern terms, he is extremely handsome. The so-called "little fresh meat" is not as good as his in case. like.

As if afraid of being impolite, the woman hurriedly left with the maid after she finished offering incense, and Ye Chen finished offering incense right away, adding another five taels of sesame oil money, which made the young Taoist priest have a good attitude.

In this world, silver is still very valuable. The monthly expenditure of an ordinary family of four is only about one tael, and 15 taels may be enough to spend for a few months.

There is generally no meat in the vegetarian meal, but if there are special requirements, it is okay.

Ordinary people think that monks have never eaten meat, but they are not. Some monks who keep the precepts are really vegetarians, but most monks eat meat. The so-called abstaining from meat in Buddhism refers to garlic and other strong flavors. Vegetables, ordinary fish can still be eaten, but you can't kill them for no reason, but you can spend money to buy meat.

Generally, the Vegetarian dishes provided to pilgrims in temples and Taoist temples are real vegetarians, without any meat.

Ye Chen's body is very good, and he is well-clothed and well-fed every day, and it's not bad to eat a vegetarian meal once in a while.

After eating and drinking in the evening, he returned to a small room arranged by the temple. The servant boy fetched water for him to wash his hands and face, and spread good rice paper on the table to start painting.

As a scholar, writing and painting are one of the after-dinner activities, which can not only kill time in a world lacking in entertainment, but also cultivate one's sentiments and improve one's style.

In fact, he once had the idea of ​​going to the imperial examination. He was already a scholar, but it took two years to recover from his injuries. After being reborn, he was a bit too handsome. Yang, let him replace all the maids in his courtyard with old maids.

After finishing painting a picture of Qingyun Mountain outing, there was a light knock on the door, and the servant boy opened it. The young Taoist priest in the previous view was standing outside the door, and it was he who sent the guards to invite him.
