Ronin: Start with the cotton

Chapter 192 Ensemble
Inside the temple, it was barren and empty.

A huge reclining Buddha lay horizontally on the main hall, and the carved Buddha cage next to it was incomplete and old, covered with dust.The monk who snatched the golden cudgel before was sitting cross-legged in front of the Reclining Buddha Hall in white clothes, chanting sutras with his eyes closed.

Qiao Shan pushed open the door and came to the monk.

"You are finally here...Skywalker..." The monk in white slowly opened his eyes.

Qiao Shan swallowed the words again, and said in astonishment:
"Skywalker? Me?"

He still wanted to test the monk, but he didn't expect his identity to be recognized directly. What's going on?

The monk in the original plot should not have this ability...

really recognized me,

Still testing me?

……

The monk in white picked up the golden cudgel in front of him and handed it to Qiao Shan:
"Finish your mission, Skywalker."

"Uh... that's the case. Is there a possibility that you have identified the wrong person?"

Qiao Shan looked back at the door, and saw that Lu Yan had come quietly with Jin Yanzi and Jason, and tentatively said: "That curly-haired boy is Skywalker, and this stick belongs to him."

The monk in white looked at the three of Jason, and frowned upon hearing this:

"...are you together?"

With his ability, he only sensed the location where the Golden Cudgel appeared, and then knew that Skywalker was nearby with the ability of the Golden Cudgel, but he didn't know who it was.

"But, he is not from Middle Earth..."

When he first arrived at the bamboo forest, he saw the golden cudgel in the hands of a boy who looked like a barbarian, and subconsciously regarded him as a killer trained by the Yujiang Temple.

Now it seems that I made a mistake.

……

"Didn't the Buddha say that all living beings are equal?" Qiao Shan kicked the golden cudgel back, and said sloppily, "Go with him, he will return the stick."

It seems that the monk did not recognize himself, but simply thought that Jason was not a Skywalker.

Jason grabbed the flying golden cudgel and stared blankly at the monk in white.

The monk in white came to Jason, looked up and down for a long time, and suddenly grinned, making Jason's hair stand on end!
"My name is Wu Xin."

The monk in white brushed past Jason, laughed and walked out of the temple.

Lu Yan looked at Qiao Shan suspiciously, and asked:

"What's the matter with this monk?"

Qiao Shan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "We have another partner..."

……

……

In the following days, everyone headed west, avoiding as much as possible along the way the county town mansion where Yujiang soldiers were stationed, hiding in the mountains and forests and teaching Jason Kung Fu while driving.

Jason's misery has come completely!

After confirming that the golden cudgel was really brought by Jason from another world, Wu Xin, a monk in white, competed with Lu Yan for the identity of Jason's master.

Monk Wuxin naturally has the confidence to be Jason's master. He is the incarnation of monkey hair and has lived in the world for 500 years. Kung fu, which implements the concepts of speed and strength, has long surpassed many martial arts in the world and reached the pinnacle of the world.

And Lu Yan has been both civil and martial arts since he was a child, and he is proficient in various boxing techniques. Faced with Monk Wuxin's behavior of robbing his apprentice, he naturally refused to give in.

Therefore, Lu Yan and Wu Xin inevitably competed.

Jason saw the two people tossing and turning in the mountains and forests, a wonderful duel that surpassed the limits of their bodies, and he was yearning for it, and his motivation to learn martial arts instantly increased a lot!
At last,
Jason got two masters as he wished, and started a "happy" life.

……

Lu Yan and Monk Wu Xin taught Jason Kung Fu, and Qiao Shan was not idle. After discovering that there were many precious herbs in the mountains and forests, he cooked an extra tonic soup for Jason in addition to the meals he prepared every day.

Although due to the age of the herbs and the incomplete preparation of certain medicines, they can only be replaced with herbs of similar attributes, which makes the effect of the Dabu Tang mediocre, but it is still enough to nourish Jason's five viscera, which is currently lost due to his practice.

Just the taste...

Jin Yanzi pinched her nose, frowned slightly, and left silently from the medicine jar to call Jason who was practicing:

"Jason, it's time to take your medicine!"

Jason, who was practicing, turned bitter in an instant. He let out a resentful "Oh", put away the stick, and followed Jin Yanzi to Qiao Shan's side in a dejected manner.

Qiao Shan put the boiled tonic soup into a bowl, and handed it to Jason with a smile: "Come on, it will feel better if you suffocate in one mouthful."

Jason was full of resistance: "Joe, can you stop drinking this thing? I really can't convince myself to drink it!"

This thing is too bitter!
He even suspected that Qiao Shan was feeding him rice paddies!
And last time out of curiosity, he secretly watched the process of Qiao Shan boiling the medicine, and there really was rabbit feces in it!
In addition, there are centipedes, scorpions, roots, weeds, stones...

What Jason is most afraid of every day is not the ravages of his body by the two masters, but the poisoning of Qiao Shan's daily bowl of tonics to his soul!
So torturous!
……

"If you want to go home early, you must drink."

"Don't worry, I found a few new prescriptions today, this time I didn't add bright moon sand, if you don't believe me, ask Yanzi."

Qiao Shan boiled a little more of today's tonic, poured the rest into another bowl, and handed it to the silent Jin Yanzi with a smile.

"Come on, today's tonic is of good quality, and it will also work for you."

Jin Yanzi was stunned for a moment, took the tonic silently and swallowed it in one gulp, then frowned tightly, quickly untied the water bag at his waist and took a sip of water to rinse his mouth.

"This is too bitter!"

No wonder Jason resisted so much, it turns out that this stuff not only smells bitter, but it's even more bitter when you drink it!
Seeing that Jin Yanzi drank the tonic, Jason felt a little more at ease.

Jin Yanzi stayed by Qiao Shan's side all the time and watched the whole process of Qiao Shan's boiling the medicine. Since she was willing to drink it, it meant that there was really no rabbit feces in the medicine soup this time.

Isn't it just bitter, he's almost used to it!

Although he resisted in his heart, Jason knew that Qiao Shan was doing it for his own good, and he had indeed experienced the effects of the medicine. He woke up every day refreshed and full of energy, and his practice progress was much faster than before.

Ton ton ton swallowed the soup in one gulp,
Jason's movements were the same as Jin Yanzi's, his face wrinkled in pain, and he hurriedly drank water to rinse his mouth.

Seeing that Jason had finished drinking the tonic, Jin Yanzi didn't know what to think. He still had that cold expression, but suddenly said:

"He did not add moon sand this time, but he added luminous sand."

"Moon-watching sand?"

An ominous premonition rose in Jason's heart.

There was a faint smile on Jin Yanzi's icy face, and he said rather darkly: "Ye Mingsha, commonly known as bat feces."

Wow!Whoa!

Jason's face changed suddenly, and he felt his stomach churning.

……

Qiao Shan glared at Jin Yanzi: "It's not easy for me to make a dose of medicine. If you make him sick, I will do it for nothing."

How can he have Ghana this time? !

Jin Yanzi snorted softly, curled her lips and remained silent.

What does it mean to make people sick by yourself? It's obviously your medicine...

"Okay, you can feel the warmth coming from your belly, rest for half an hour, and when your body starts to feel dry and hot, let's practice our own kung fu."

Lu Yan and Monk Wu Xin were resting not far away.

Qiao Shan finished the daily task,

He also turned around and left leisurely, and soon came to the top of the waterfall, stood for a while looking at the sky, sat on a boulder casually, took out a handmade bamboo flute from his waist, put it to his mouth, and played silently.

A melodious "myth",
From the bamboo flute, the sound drifted into the distance.

……

Jin Yanzi looked up at Qiao Shan on the top of the mountain, hearing the sadness in the song,
For a while, his expression was inexplicable.

When she came under the tree, Jin Yanzi hugged her pipa and silently played Qiao Shan's melody. She couldn't help thinking of her beautiful past and unexpected encounters when she was young.

Her father, her mother, her childhood friend and neighbor...

At the end of the song, Jin Yanzi caressed the strings, and couldn't help but look up at Qiao Shan on the top of the mountain again, only to find that Qiao Shan was already lying on the boulder with his eyes closed for a nap on the top of the mountain.

Do people who seem to be indifferent to everything have a past that they miss?
What did he go through...

Jin Yanzi slowly closed her eyes.
