RPAGF Chapter 58 is a pity.
Chapter 58 is a pity.
Inside the room, Shi Jian sat in the head seat with his eyes closed and remained silent.
Four Eyes and Thousand Cranes sat on either side of the lower seat.
Both of them sat upright, their eyes fixed straight ahead.
The atmosphere was somewhat serious, making the two junior disciples uneasy and under great pressure.
After all, facing a Celestial Master is quite stressful, just like facing the sect leader.
The pressure of facing the senior disciple was even greater than that of facing the sect leader.
"Senior brother, what brings you down the mountain this time?"
Si Mu couldn't help but speak first.
Shi Jian then opened his eyes and said with a faint smile, "Senior brother, you have come down the mountain this time for two reasons: one is to travel the world, slay demons and monsters, and uphold the righteous path."
"Another reason is to come down the mountain to check on the progress of your cultivation, fellow disciples."
Shi Jian's words relieved Simu and Qianhe.
Then she lowered her head in shame.
After all, their senior brother had already reached the level of a Celestial Master, while they were still Earth Masters. They had previously expressed some resentment.
But now, let alone challenging the senior brother, he has no thought of even vying for a chance.
Not on the same level at all.
It's a foregone conclusion that the current senior disciple will become the next leader of Maoshan Sect.
If a newly appointed Celestial Master doesn't become the sect leader, who will?
"Senior Brother, my cultivation is shallow. Please give me some guidance."
Chizuru bowed deeply and decisively.
To be honest, most of these fellow disciples were taught by their eldest brother, Shi Jian.
As for the sect leader, he didn't have much time to teach them.
So, he was taught by the eldest brother from a young age, which is why most of the junior brothers still have great respect for him.
"Alright, then I'll tell you about Taoist practices and cultivation."
Shi Jian nodded slightly, and then began to instruct Qianhe and Shimu on their cultivation.
Under his guidance, Chizuru and Yotsugu each gained something.
His cultivation level has improved considerably, and all the questions he had accumulated about the problems he encountered in his cultivation have been answered.
Suddenly, everything became clear to him, and his cultivation level improved dramatically.
"Simu, your senior brother just taught some martial arts to your junior brother Qianhe. Next, your senior brother will teach you some martial arts techniques to help you with your cultivation."
As he spoke, Shi Jian passed on some martial arts manuals to Simu.
The appropriate cultivation method calculated by his scan is more suitable for practice and can also promote the mutual development of Taoist practices.
There is nothing wrong with cultivating both Taoism and martial arts.
"Thank you for transmitting the Dharma, Senior Brother."
Si Mu bowed respectfully in gratitude.
If you don't appreciate the great kindness of receiving the Dharma, then you really shouldn't be practicing Taoism.
Shi Jian accepted the other party's bow with composure, stroked his beard and smiled, "We are all fellow disciples, there is no need to be so polite. Remember to cultivate diligently and not slack off."
"Yes!"
They both agreed.
Deep down, I felt even greater respect for this senior brother.
Like a master, he guided them in their cultivation, which unconsciously strengthened the bond between fellow disciples.
"It's dawn, I should go now."
When Shi Jian looked outside, it was already dawn.
The two suddenly came to their senses and ended up talking all night.
But this night was very rewarding for both Yomo and Chizuru.
It's estimated that with a little more dedicated training, he could break through to the late stage of the Earth Master realm, and it's not impossible for him to even reach the peak.
"Senior Brother, won't you stay a couple more days before you leave?"
Si Mu was somewhat reluctant to part, as he still had many questions about cultivation that he wanted to ask his senior brother.
"Yes, Senior Brother, please stay a few more days."
Chizuru also tried to persuade him to stay.
Shi Jian shook his head: "No need to say more. Senior brother still has things to do. You should focus on your cultivation. One day you may be able to enter the ranks of Celestial Masters."
"How can Maoshan only have one or two Celestial Masters? I hope my fellow disciples can devote themselves to cultivation and strive to reach the realm of Celestial Master as soon as possible."
"Only in this way can we enhance the prestige of our Maoshan lineage."
Upon hearing this, the two bowed in unison.
"We will follow our senior brother's instructions and cultivate diligently every day to live up to his expectations."
Both of them were grateful people. Their cultivation level increased greatly, and they were naturally very grateful to receive guidance and teachings from their senior brother.
"gone."
Shi Jian got up and went out.
Four Eyes and Chizuru hurriedly followed, and the two of them saw him off at the door.
"Master Four Eyes!"
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw a beautiful young woman from across the hall walking out.
Upon seeing the group, she greeted them politely.
Shi Jian looked at the girl in front of him thoughtfully. She must be Qingqing, who was adopted by Master Ikkyu.
"What a fine piece of jade! He's a promising candidate for cultivation."
After scanning her, he was surprised to find that Qingqing had extremely high talent for cultivation.
This sparked his interest in talent, and when he remembered that his master had asked him to take on a disciple, he immediately had the idea.
"Young lady, I am Shi Jian, the eldest disciple of Maoshan Sect. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"
Shi Jian stepped forward and asked bluntly.
Qingqing was completely stunned, standing there dumbfounded.
But she quickly came to her senses and hurriedly bowed, saying, "I'm sorry, Taoist priest, Qingqing already has a master."
"What a pity!"
Shi Jian shook his head, turned to Simu and Qianhe and said, "Senior brother will go ahead first, and will come back another day to check your cultivation."
"Respectfully seeing off our senior brother!"
Simu and Qianhe bowed in unison.
"I am leaving."
As soon as Shi Jian finished speaking, he soared into the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Qingqing stared blankly at the disappearing lightning, her heart filled with turmoil.
"Qingqing, you missed an opportunity."
Si Mu shook his head with a look of regret.
Qianhe agreed, saying, "That's our senior brother from Maoshan. A great master of the celestial realm wanted to take you as his disciple, but you refused. What a pity."
"I...I have a master."
Qingqing hurriedly tried to explain, but the next moment, the door opposite opened.
A monk came out.
He is none other than Master Ikkyu.
After Master Ikkyu came out, he put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Master Simu, Master Qianhe, please don't make things difficult for Qingqing."
Master Yixiu smiled wryly and said, "Qingqing, I have never taught you anything and I am not your master. You are just someone I adopted. You should have agreed to what Master Shijian just said."
"He is the senior disciple of Maoshan in this generation, and his cultivation is extremely high. His Taoist magic is unfathomable. He has already become a generation of Celestial Master."
Upon hearing this, Qingqing's eyes reddened: "Master, you don't want me anymore?"
Master Ikkyu smiled wryly and said, "I can't teach you. I wanted to come out and persuade you to become my disciple, but Master Shi has already left. It's too late."
“Master Four Eyes, since Master Shi has taken a liking to Qingqing, could you please put in a good word for me and let Master Shi bring Qingqing to Maoshan? This place is not suitable for Qingqing.”
Master Ikkyu values Qingqing highly, but he is well aware that this place is not suitable for her.
"Master, I don't want to leave you."
With tears streaming down her face, Qingqing knelt directly in front of Master Yixiu.
Master Ikkyu gave a helpless, bitter smile: "Foolish child, what's the use of worshipping me when you have a good master to worship?"
Qingqing said solemnly, "In Qingqing's eyes, you are my best master. You picked me up and raised me. In Qingqing's eyes, you are my master."
"Master, Master, you are like a teacher and a father!"
Qingqing's words were quite surprising.
“Master Ikkyu, I think if Qingqing doesn’t want to, then so be it. We can’t force her.”
Si Mu thought for a moment, then shook his head and made a resolute decision.
Qingqing had just clearly refused to accept her senior brother as a disciple, and now she refuses to leave.
“You’ve taken on a good apprentice, unlike my apprentice.”
After saying that, he turned around and went back. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He went back, grabbed a stick, and chased after Jiale, beating him mercilessly.
Qianhe looked at Qingqing, her expression a mixture of regret and admiration.
Her respect for her teacher and her unwillingness to betray Master Ikkyu demonstrate her upright and kind heart.
"Pity."
Chizuru shook her head and turned to leave.
"What a fool."
Master Ikkyu shook his head helplessly, but also felt a sense of relief.
Since Qingqing is unwilling, then forget it.
"Very well, from today onwards I will formally teach you the methods of Buddhist practice."
Upon hearing this, Qingqing immediately stopped crying and started laughing.
"Thank you, Master."
Master Ikkyu nodded and said, "Get up and go fetch water. After you have burned incense and bathed, come to the main hall to find me, and I will formally accept you as a disciple."
"Yes, Master."
Qingqing happily got up and went to fetch water.
Shi Jian only mentioned Qingqing casually because he saw that she had talent for cultivation.
If someone refuses, then we can assume we have no master-disciple relationship.
After Shi Jian left, he sped along the road, searching for and eliminating the demons that were plaguing the village.
