Great Swordsman Ke Xue.

Chapter 587 The sincere and kind-hearted Koji Shimizu

"Can the Zen master's telepathy see through other people's inner thoughts?" asked Koji Shimizu curiously.

This time, Hattori Shizuka did not answer. Master Isshin shook his head and took the initiative to explain, "That's not the case. If I could see through other people's inner thoughts, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to control such a great supernatural power."

"It can only verify the truth of others' statements and see their true character. Even this alone has brought me endless troubles."

Master Yi Xin felt a little emotional, and this kind of thing, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that although it is not a terrible ability like mind reading, the ability to detect and verify the true thoughts of others is also a very terrifying ability.

For those in high positions, a little use of this power will allow their power to develop without any worries.

If the old monk had a lower emotional intelligence, he probably wouldn't have survived until today. No wonder when he failed to test him, he turned around and started to show kindness to him. There was no trace of acting at all, it was completely from the heart.

Although Shimizu Koji did not use the power of the Mangekyo just now, the power of his pupils alone was enough to make Master Isshin feel suffocated. The old monk was terribly smart. He saw that Shimizu Koji did not want to expose his strength, so he simply did not mention it.

"What a pity! If you focus on swordsmanship, you may have a chance to become a swordsman in the future."

Yagyu Ryunosuke's face looked much better because with the testimony of Zen Master Isshin, what Shimizu Koji said was indeed the truth and not an excuse to evade him.

"It's getting late. I'll go over first."

Yagyu Ryunosuke then said something to Master Isshin, then stood up quickly and left the room without even looking at Shimizu Koji and Hattori Shizuka.

"Amitabha, Mrs. Hattori, I have already given the answer just now. If there is nothing else, I would like to talk to this little donor."

Master Isshin's words were very clear. Although Hattori Shizuka had a lot of thoughts in her mind at the moment, she suppressed her doubts, nodded, stood up and temporarily left the room.

Only Shimizu Koji and Isshin were left in the room. After Hattori Shizuka left, Isshin was no longer as kind-hearted as before. His face turned pale, and he looked at Shimizu Koji with awe.

"I haven't asked for your name yet, sir."

"Kouji Shimizu."

"Master, why did you keep me here? Is there something wrong?"

Shimizu Koji said calmly. He ignored the strange look on Master Isshin's face, because that was caused by him. And because part of his strength was exposed, he no longer pretended to be a junior, but communicated with the hundred-year-old monk on an equal footing.

"I am just shocked by Qingshui-kun's strength. I have been practicing for more than a hundred years, and I have never seen anyone like you."

Master Yixin's tone was full of emotion. He paused, then continued, "I wonder if Qingshui-kun is interested in participating in this practitioner exchange meeting?"

Qingshui Koji shook his head silently. Seeing this, Master Isshin added, "I have no other intentions. It's just that participating in this exchange meeting should be beneficial to you, Qingshui Jun. Whether it's to verify your practice experience or to exchange each other's treasures, I believe Qingshui Jun will definitely gain something."

Qing Shui Haoji couldn't help but feel confused when he heard this. They were not related to each other, and Master Yixin's behavior made him very confused, "Why does the master want to help me?"

Master Isshin didn't say anything, but just looked at Shimizu Koji with a compassionate smile.

Shimizu Koji quickly understood what he meant. He wanted to establish a good relationship with him, um, according to the Buddhists? This old monk is really...
He has high emotional intelligence. Even Shimizu Koji has to admire him. After being beaten by him, he not only did not cause trouble for him, but also repaid evil with kindness and thought of ways to benefit him.

Who can live longer than you?
As expected of an old and experienced man, Shimizu Koji figured out everything, but still shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, Master, but my practice does not need to rely on the experience of others."

"Of course, but, isn't Qingshui-kun interested in spiritual food?!"

Master Isshin seemed to have seen through some of Shimizu Koji's background and said so.

"Spiritual food?" Shimizu Koji was indeed intrigued by him. This was the first time he heard such a term, and based on the name, it was not difficult to guess some of the situations.

Seeing that he really didn't know, Master Yixin forced a smile on his pale old face, "So-called spiritual food is also a rare treasure for practitioners like us. Although the spiritual energy is exhausted and all things are extinct in this era, there are still some strange places where treasures with spiritual power can be born. Among them, edible wild plants and underwater delicacies are all called 'spiritual food' by us."

In fact, ever since he encountered the vengeful spirits and the practicing Onmyoji, Koji Shimizu has developed some different views on the world. Master Isshin's remarks undoubtedly verified those guesses in his heart.

The distorted timeline of this world is strange in itself, so it is not surprising that some things with strange abilities appear.

"Spiritual food, can ordinary people eat it?"

"Of course, some precious spiritual food can prolong life and keep youth forever. It can give an ordinary person who does not practice spiritual cultivation a dozen more years of life."

Master Isshin is an old and wise man. He can tell what Koji Shimizu is thinking from just a word or a look. His telepathy may not be better than his own ability to read people's expressions.

After hearing this, it was hard for Koji Shimizu not to be moved. Although the timeline of this world is distorted, the concept of time does not exist. Everything in the world still follows the laws of birth, aging, sickness and death, but it is a little messy because of time.

Even he cannot ignore the power of time. Moreover, if this disordered timeline is restored one day, it will have a huge impact on his life.

Koji Shimizu had always hoped that Haibara Ai would develop drug A, a drug that even exceeded his cognition, but if there is one more option now, why not do it?

"Will there be 'spiritual food' at this exchange meeting?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have tried to persuade Qingshui-kun."

"What do you need? Japanese yen or barter?" Shimizu Koji became serious.

Zen Master Yixin looked at him and became a little hesitant. "If Qingshui-kun can't get it, you won't plan to rob him, right?"

"No." Shimizu Koji shook his head.

Just as Master Yixin breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Qingshui Koji say in a gentle voice: "How can you call it robbery for a kind-hearted person like me? You are worrying too much."

When Master Yi Xin heard this, his heart suddenly tightened: Did I let a wolf into the house?
"Master, please explain the rules of the exchange meeting to me first, and give me some guidance."

Looking at Shimizu Koji's calm expression, Master Isshin felt a little sweat on his forehead, "Well, it should be so."
