The immortal white ape has been listening to Taoism for 30 years

Chapter 10 Literacy
One person and one ape, sitting at the bamboo table.

The scene is a bit weird.

"Ugh, it tastes terrible."

Ye Cheng picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth to eat, but then he frowned and almost spit it out.

It's hard and a little salty.

It is completely different from the dishes cooked by Yu Zhengdao in the past.

It was clear that Taoist Priest Yu Zhen was on the side giving guidance, why was the gap so big?

Ye Cheng couldn't help but look at Taoist Priest Yu Zhen.

Because his left arm was broken, Taoist Master Yu Zhen could only hold chopsticks with his right hand.

Even so, it looks natural.

She only ate vegetarian food, so she picked up a slightly burnt green vegetable and put it in her mouth, chewing it slowly.

Face as usual.

Could it be that the vegetables are better cooked?
Ye Cheng was a little curious.

So he quickly swallowed the meat in his mouth, as he couldn't waste it anyway.

Then he picked up another green vegetable and ate it.

Unexpectedly, this vegetable was even more unpalatable. Not only was it salty, but it also had a burnt taste.

He just spit it out.

"Xiao Bai, this is your first time cooking. It's already great that you can do it like this."

Taoist Priest Yu Zhen seemed to see Ye Cheng's thoughts and said immediately.

Ye Cheng knew that Yu Zhendao was trying to comfort himself

By the time we finished our meal, except for the rice, we had only used a few chopsticks on the dishes on the table.

Taoist priest Yu Zhen only ate a few bites of green vegetables.

Finally, Ye Cheng poured out the remaining dishes.

Such a failure.

Then he cleared the table and washed the dishes.

He felt a little emotional. In his previous life, let alone washing dishes and chopsticks, he didn't even cook. He didn't expect that after traveling through this world and becoming a white ape, he would actually do such housework.

After he finished washing, he came out of the kitchen and saw Yu Zhendao sitting in front of the oil lamp. He took off his coat, revealing the tube top and snow-white skin underneath, except for his left arm, which was almost broken at the shoulder.

It looked shocking.

The broken arm was not bandaged, but was smeared with a dark green ointment.

At this moment, Taoist priest Yu Zhen seemed to be applying plaster to the broken arm.

She frowned and bit her lip. From her slightly trembling body, it could be seen that applying the medicine must be a very painful process.

Whoa whoa.
Ye Cheng walked over and started rowing.

This method of communication is really difficult.

Thinking that he might never be able to speak, he felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

Who allowed him to be reborn into a white ape?

It can only be said that God played a big joke on him.

"Xiao Bai, do you want to help me apply the medicine?"

Taoist priest Yu Zhen looked up at Ye Cheng, a little surprised.

Ye Cheng nodded vigorously.

Taoist priest Yu Zhen hesitated for a moment. There was no room for negligence in dealing with the wound on the broken arm.

But looking at Xiaobai's expectant eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse, so she nodded.

Then she briefly explained to Ye Cheng the order of applying the medicine.

The dark green ointment is called Green Field Intermittent Ointment. Its main function is to speed up the healing effect of wounds.

Because of its rapid healing effect, it is usually used on major wounds.

This ointment is very expensive and is the secret ointment of Chongyang Temple.

Otherwise, it is a colorless, transparent, slightly viscous liquid.

It emits a very pungent smell.

This is the snail toad liquid. It is said that the main material is a liquid secreted by the snail toad, which has a strong sterilizing and disinfecting effect.

First clean the wound with Snail Toad Liquid, and then apply Green Field Intermittent Ointment.

After the Green Field Intermittent Cream dries, a thin film will form on the surface of the wound.

After Taoist Yu Zhen's brief explanation, Ye Cheng understood immediately and began to help Taoist Yu Zhen deal with it.

Taoist priest Yu Zhen was a little worried at first.As Ye Cheng took care of the wound step by step and there was no problem, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sighed that Xiao Bai was really smart.

Suddenly, she had an idea.

Xiaobai is so smart, can you teach it to read?
If Xiaobai is literate, communication will be much easier.

Xiaobai can practice swordsmanship, cultivate his inner energy, understand his own speech, cook and treat his own wounds, but why can't he read?

In the next period of time, Yecheng became busy.

He is now becoming more and more skilled at cooking, washing, cleaning, and helping Taoist Priest Yu Zhen treat his wounds.

Swordsmanship and training to control the inner energy have not stopped either.

this day.

Master Hong Jiu came over again.

He came over almost every day for a while.

Only recently, the intervals have become longer.

During this period, other Taoists also came to visit Taoist Priest Yu Zhen.

Through the conversation between them, Ye Cheng was finally able to obtain some additional information.

It is said that the reason why Taoist Master Yu Zhen broke his arm and was injured was because he was participating in some Taoist examination.

In addition, Taoist priest Yu Zhen was not a Taoist priest, but became a Taoist master.

On the same level as Taoist Master Hong Jiu.

Unfortunately, Taoist Master Yu Zhen passed the Taoist examination, but ended up with a broken arm, and the path to martial arts came to an end.

"Junior sister, I brought everything you asked me to find."

Hong Jiudao was holding a large wooden box, which seemed a bit heavy, and he didn't know what was inside.

"Thank you, Second Senior Brother."

Taoist Priest Yu Zhen said.

"Thank you, it's not a difficult task, but what do you want these books for?"

Taoist Master Hong Jiu said with a smile.

In fact, he was very confused. The books his junior sister asked for were entry-level books, specifically for enlightenment.

"Teach the noob how to read."

Taoist Priest Yu Zhen did not hide anything and said directly.

"Forehead?"

Master Hong Jiu was shocked.

Teaching a white ape to read?
This is too ridiculous!
Seeing his junior sister's serious expression, he didn't know what to say.

Deep down he thought it was impossible to succeed.

This Xiaobai is just a white ape. No matter how knowledgeable and intelligent he is, he cannot read.

The biggest difference between humans and animals lies in learning and using tools.

Taoist Priest Yu Zhen saw what the second senior brother was thinking and didn't say much because she wasn't too sure.

It doesn’t hurt to give it a try anyway.

Ye Cheng listened on the sidelines, but felt a little excited.

In fact, he had always wanted to find an opportunity to let Taoist Yu Zhen teach him how to read, so that he would have a reason to communicate directly with Taoist Yu Zhen.

It's just that he has never dared to do so.

Now that Taoist priest Yu Zhen takes the initiative to teach himself how to read, he eliminates the risk involved.

The benefits are many.

Even if his literacy will cause a sensation within the Chongyang Temple, it will also bring him some opportunities, such as understanding the Chongyang Temple and the outside world.
Like now, he can only be trapped in the bamboo forest and has no understanding of the outside world.

Because he doesn't have this channel at all, and he doesn't dare to contact the outside world casually.

After Taoist Master Hong Jiu left, Taoist Master Yu Zhen waved to Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng understood and quickly picked up the wooden box.

It's very heavy, probably weighing dozens of kilograms.

into the house.

Taoist priest Yu Zhen asked Ye Cheng to open the lid, revealing a box full of books.

She casually took out a book with "Thousand-Character Dictionary" written on it.

She also used this kind of enlightenment book when she was a child.

Next, she will spend a lot of time teaching Xiaobai to learn human writing.
