Chapter 181: Disciple, Became Taoist Companion

The choice of identity is actually irrelevant.

It's just a disguise.

Jiang He chose the identity of father and daughter out of a personal selfish motive.

After his memories of taking care of their growth over the past decade or so gradually recovered, he inevitably developed some affection for his apprentices.

Since this family relationship has cut off the taboo-like thoughts, why not accept it?
Master, master, like a teacher or a father.

Jiang He smiled apologetically: "I didn't think it through, but it's okay"

In addition to father and daughter, there are many other possible identities, such as brother and sister.

But it feels a bit strange to let Minxin call him brother. After all, he has always been one generation older than Minxin.

"Huh, it's okay."

The girl lowered the volume again after raising it slightly.

She looked at him with complicated eyes, as if she could see his inner thoughts.

Jiang He coughed awkwardly and was about to shift his gaze elsewhere.

Suddenly he remembered the previous conversation with Bai Minxin about eye contact, and he turned his gaze back and continued to look at the white-haired girl.

This girl, did she say that on purpose to deceive me?
So that I will be too embarrassed to hide my guilty conscience in the future?
Thinking of this, Jiang He suddenly realized and laughed to himself.

Min Xin still underestimated himself. If he could consciously control his expression, he would still be able to do it perfectly.

The reason is simple. When he came to this world, he had three "mentally ill" apprentices at the beginning. An inappropriate word could cause serious consequences.

In this kind of adversity, he became more skilled in facial expression management.
"Then let's be Taoist companions."

The girl looked unhappy, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and she looked helpless.

But the tone was firm and unquestionable.

When Jiang He heard this, he almost couldn't catch his breath, and the expression he was so proud of was out of control.

The main reason was that the difference between what he thought in his mind was too big, and there was a vague sense of awkwardness.

"Do you think I am willing?"

Bai Minxin saw Jiang He's reluctance and gritted her teeth secretly.

She snorted coldly and explained, "It's just a fake identity. There's no need to care about worldly etiquette. Besides, there are monks from Yuehua Palace in Yunwu Sect. If we use blood relationships like brother and sister, father and daughter, it might attract the attention of the monks from Yuehua Palace. If we go deep into the heart of his sect, we will naturally be impeccable."

Yes, what this girl said makes sense.

He almost forgot the habits of the monks in Yuehua Palace.

If their identity as father and daughter attracts the attention of the monks from Yuehua Palace, it will lead to complications.

"That's it, let's not delay any further, Minxin, let's go over there."

Jiang He thought about it and decided that it was just a disguise and there was no need to take it too seriously.

"no!"

Bai Minxin immediately retorted, "If you want to act, you have to do it in full. I am your Taoist partner now, how can you call me Minxin?"

"Isn't it time yet? We'll talk about it when the time comes."

"What if you're wrong then?"

"Okay, whatever you say."

Jiang He was helpless. This damn girl clearly said that she wanted to be a good disciple, but why did he never feel any respect for the master from her?

Either before or now.

But at least he calls me Master instead of calling me by my name.

The rain gradually stopped, and Jiang He put away his umbrella. The girl next to him gently held his arm, and half of her soft body pressed against his arm.

The frost on my face gradually melted, and I became a little gentler.

I haven't seen Minxin's current expression for a long time.

Ever since the showdown that day, she has been keeping her distance, even seeming too cold, to the point of being deliberate.

Why do I say deliberately? Because four years ago, even if she didn't like me, she would always look at me with a frown, and would never use a cold expression to express her disgust.

"Don't look at me. If we want to play a Taoist couple, how can we act like one without being intimate? Master, what can I say?"

She muttered softly, and although her eyes contained a hint of tenderness, her tone remained cold.

Silly girl, who told you that lovers will always hold hands intimately?
In this world, it is not uncommon for Taoist lovers to sleep in the same bed but have different dreams.

This girl looks like she knows a lot, but she probably knows nothing about these things.

Who knows, maybe it's from some novels or stories that you get to know a thing or two about couples.

But as you can imagine, most of these stories are out of touch with reality.

"Silly girl, is this the tone you use when talking to your master?"

Jiang He rolled his eyes at her in annoyance.

This girl had to keep acting cool, so he didn't dare to speak so impolitely.

But she looked so gentle now, and he couldn't help but guess her identity.

"Please be careful with your words. I am not your apprentice now. I don't want to emphasize this anymore, but I don't want to make any mistakes due to minor details."

The white-haired girl narrowed her eyes and gave him a slightly provocative look.

Her words made Jiang He's throat choke for a moment, and he couldn't say anything more.

"All is up to you, ma'am. Let's go."

Jiang He sighed and felt a little awkward.

It is hard not to feel awkward when calling the maid you raised from childhood "Madam".

Although it's not surprising in this world.

The age difference between him and Min Xin is less than thirty years, which is very common among monks.

For cultivators at the Jindan Yuanying stage, a difference of several hundred years in age is normal.

But no matter what, Jiang He is a time traveler from Earth.

"Yes." The girl beside him nodded slightly, hesitated for a long time, and then called him softly, "Husband."

Jiang He caught a glimpse of the blush on her face, pretended not to hear clearly, and asked again:
"Ma'am, what did you just say?"

The girl gritted her teeth and continued to whisper reluctantly: "Husband."

Wasn't this girl very strong just now? Now she has turned into a quail again.

Bai Minxin's self-righteousness just now made Jiang He think that she didn't care about these words.

Now that I see how angry she is, I feel less upset.

Come to think of it, I haven’t teased this girl for a long time.

The two walked side by side and came to the place where Yunxi Sect recruited independent practitioners.

There are only two disciples here, both of whom look quite old.

In front of them, there were a few casual cultivators testing their talisman drawing skills.

The old Taoist was surprised to see Jiang He coming. After hesitating for a while, he stepped forward and bowed, saying:

"Why are you here, fellow Daoist? How come you have mastered those talismans in such a short time?"

The old Taoist is regretting it so much now.

At that time, this guy had just arrived in the county town. Although he was a casual cultivator, he did not know that the Yunxi Sect was recruiting casual cultivators.

He originally didn't want to tell him about this. Even though he was confident in his attainments in talismans, he didn't want to create more opponents for no reason.

But this guy is too generous
In addition, the Yunxi Sect was about to recruit independent cultivators. After much thought, he realized that it would be impossible for him to learn it in such a short time.

Finally, I decided to sell the secret to him.

I didn't expect to meet you here.
Jiang He saw the Taoist's uncertain expression and understood what he was thinking.

He pretended to regret: "Alas, I didn't expect that I had learned most of the talismans before. Now that I think about it, it's a waste of a spiritual stone."

The old Taoist became alert and frowned, "What do you mean, Daoist friend? You must know that the key to all kinds of cultivation skills is to clear money and goods, and not worry about the aftermath."

The slight doubt in my heart gradually disappeared.

He thought this casual cultivator was a foundation-building talisman cultivator, but he thought that a foundation-building talisman cultivator would not go to the market stalls to look for talisman secrets. Jiang He smiled and comforted him:

"Given your age, you must have been addicted to talismans for a long time. Yunxi Sect is recruiting quite a few independent cultivators, so don't worry, it will be easy for you to join Yunxi Sect. Who knows, maybe both you and I can join Yunxi Sect."

"That's natural, it's just a misunderstanding."

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist stroked his beard with great pride.

He lost his composure because he thought Jiang He was a foundation-building cultivator, but he didn't expect that he had misunderstood.

After all, I have practiced talismans all my life, and my nearly one hundred years of life have not been wasted.

I still have confidence in dealing with these young guys.

As they were talking, it was the Taoist's turn to step forward for the test.

The Yunxi Sect does not have strict requirements for recruiting independent cultivators, as long as they are proficient in relevant skills.

Then distinguish the advantages and disadvantages and choose the best one.

I heard from the old Taoist that ever since the leader of Yunxi Sect entered the Golden Core stage, he has been recruiting a large number of independent cultivators.

In addition to talisman masters, many alchemists and formation masters are also recruited.

The conditions are very low.

The old Taoist was quite emotional while speaking.

In the past, the Yunxi Sect had several Jindan Zhenren and was very famous.

It can be said to be a holy place in Hezhou.

There is no shortage of disciples who practice various arts within the sect, but now the sect has fallen to the point where it has to recruit independent practitioners.

Although he was the beneficiary of this change, his expression was regretful and his tone was angry.

Jiang He thought that for these cultivators in Hezhou, they probably saw the white moonlight of the past being dyed dusty.

".Husband, are you okay?"

Jiang He's old face turned dark, and he turned to look at Bai Minxin, then he understood what she meant.

Her eyes were sharp, staring at the old Taoist's back.

She took his hand, put her fingers together to form a sword shape, and gently poked Jiang He's waist.

There is a faint sword energy above.

This girl wants to kill this old Taoist.

Among all the people present, he had the highest attainments.

Since Min Xin asked him this, it means that she has the ability to kill the Taoist priest without anyone knowing.

After all, the old Taoist is very old, and with Bai Minxin's sword power, it is enough to prevent these cultivators from realizing the cause of death.

In her eyes, life is like grass.

Jiang He's eyes darkened. In fact, Bai Minxin was not like this four years ago.
At that time, even though she abused animals, she had never killed anyone.

"Of course, don't worry."

Jiang He showed no surprise and nodded with a smile. He had been observing these wandering cultivators carefully.

I was already 100% sure.

After all, he is a foundation-building cultivator, and the strength of his spiritual awareness alone is beyond the reach of everyone present.

He himself has been practicing talismans for decades.

In addition to the old Taoist's long-term immersion, he is very adept at refining first-level talismans, and his attainments are indeed deeper than his own.

But Yunxi Sect will not recruit more than one disciple.

"Yeah, not bad."

The Yunxi Sect disciple held the talisman and looked at it for a few seconds.

"Brother, what do you think? This person draws quickly and the quality is guaranteed."

The junior fellow asked, this kind of scattered correction is what they need.

The Yunxi Sacred Tree needs a huge amount of talismans, and when they recruit casual cultivators, they are actually recruiting people who can draw talismans automatically.

Provides shelter and insignificant spiritual stones.

It is much more cost-effective than purchasing the talismans yourself.

"No hurry, let me ask you a question first."

The senior brother coughed and asked the old Taoist: "Daoyou, our sect has very high requirements for disciples, and the homework is numerous. I wonder if you can accept it?"

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist hesitated for a moment.

I had never heard that the Yunxi Sect had so many tasks before, so why did they only mention it at the last minute?
And the fact that it is stated clearly at this time shows that the "homework" involved is indeed extremely heavy.

It is impossible for the independent cultivators who have come from thousands of miles away to give up at the last moment.

He is old and cunning, and he can see that the water is very deep

The junior brother sighed and said, "The path of cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. The sect has many tasks, but they are only for the consideration of the disciples. Moreover, the outside world is in chaos now. Not to mention cultivation, even survival is a problem. I hope fellow Taoists will consider it carefully. If you don't want to join, don't block the way for those behind you. Now, the Zhu Mingyu is not short of independent cultivators. There are only five places left in our sect."

"Yes, old man, you still want to be my disciple at your age? If you don't want to join, leave quickly."

"Fellow Daoist, I am young and strong, and I am willing to dedicate myself to the sect!"

The other casual cultivators urged, so what if there is a lot of homework?

It just so happens that this old man is a strong contender, and his absence is equivalent to having one more spot.

The old Taoist saw that his disciple was impatient, and especially when he heard the urging voice behind him, he couldn't help but become anxious.

He quickly nodded to his disciple and said, "Okay, I can accept it."

"Husband."

The girl pulled his sleeve and whispered in his ear.

Her eyes are full of tenderness.

Jiang He's heart skipped a beat. He had to admit, this girl's acting skills were pretty good.

He was completely different from the cold and hard person he was before.

"what happened?"

"."

Bai Minxin suddenly fell silent, she just couldn't help but shout.

Ever since I came here, my mind has been blank. What else can I say?

She racked her brains and stammered, "I believe you, it's okay..."

Jiang He didn't understand what she meant for a moment and thought about it for a while.

Then I realized that this girl was referring to drawing talismans.

It looks like they are really independent cultivators who have come to seek refuge in the Yunwu Sect. This girl is really into the role.

He smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry. After you enter the sect and live a stable life, you will be able to have a few children and live out your life in peace."

Bai Min was stunned and curled her lips: "I won't give birth to a few children for you!"

Sounding a little annoyed, Kang Ha shook his head.

This girl only allows herself to immerse herself in the play, but won't allow him to act out a bit?

The brown-haired girl immediately smiled again, "You can only have one child, and it must be a boy! But if you have a child, he will be lonely if he is alone. Well, give him another brother to play with him!"

Taking back the previous thoughts, this girl has completely immersed herself in the role.

Jiang He looked at her silly and happy face and couldn't help laughing.

Just as he was about to make fun of her, a disciple from the Yunxi Sect waved at him.

"Husband."

The brown-haired girl raised her little face and looked at him nervously, very worried about him.

If I enter Yunxi Sect, I will definitely stay there for a while, right?
Jiang He couldn't help but rub her head and felt very satisfied.

I haven't touched Minxin's head for a long time.
Although it changed from white to brown, it still feels as good as before.
