No wonder the head of the Shaolin Monk Academy and others were confused.
Who is their abbot? He is a powerful tenth-level innate master! He is the presiding officer of Buddhist Shaolin, and he is one of the top ten powerful men in the Dafeng Dynasty. He actually begged this skinny young man to accept him as a disciple.
Zhou Cheng looked at the old monk in front of him. Judging from his clothes, he should be from Shaolin Buddhism?
"Little donor, I am the Shaolin presiding officer, my name is Hui Neng." Hui Neng introduced his identity at this time.
Zhou Cheng was surprised. He didn't expect that the old monk in front of him was the abbot of Shaolin Temple.
"It turns out to be Abbot Huineng." Zhou Cheng clasped his fists.
Huineng raised his palms and said with kind eyes: "I wonder what the little donor is thinking about?"
Zhou Cheng shook his head: "I appreciate Master's kindness."
Huineng was startled and asked, "Donor, please think about it again."
Zhou Cheng shook his head: "The master is highly virtuous and I have always respected him. However, it is difficult for me to abide by the rules of your temple."
There are many rules in the Shaolin Temple. First of all, he is not allowed to drink alcohol or eat meat, which he cannot abide by. Zhou Cheng is a carnivore.
Moreover, he now has a cultivation system and will be able to break through the innate or even become stronger by the end of the year. There is no need to worship Huineng as his teacher.
Zhou Cheng hugged Huineng and left with Qin Meng and the others.
Huineng stood there blankly, watching Zhou Cheng's leaving figure.
"Abbott, since this young man refuses, let's forget it." The head of the Wu Monk Academy stepped forward and said to Huineng.
Hui Neng shook his head: "The strange phenomenon of Buddha beads just now was caused by this young man."
The head of the Wu Monk Academy and others were surprised.
Later, Abbot Huineng ordered someone to follow Zhou Cheng to see which family Zhou Cheng was a disciple of.
After a while, the Shaolin master came back and said to Abbot Huineng.
"The General's Mansion." Upon hearing this, Abbot Huineng laughed: "So, he is Zhou Zhi's grandson."
At this time, Zhou Cheng returned to the General's Mansion and came to the main hall, where he saw his father Zhou Wei and his mother Luo Shui talking.
"I just went to the residence of Chen Shilang of the Ministry of War and told his wife Yu Rong about the engagement." Luo Shui's voice was a little low: "However, Yu Rong said that Chen Yuan will not consider marriage for the time being and only wants to concentrate on practicing martial arts.
"
Rejected? Zhou Wei frowned. Why don't you think about marriage and just want to concentrate on practicing martial arts? This is just a wording.
Luo Shui added: "Yu Rong also said that in the future, don't bring up the matter of her daughter Chen Yuan and our children. Her daughter is still a girl who has not left the court, so as not to affect her daughter's reputation."
Speaking of this, Luo Shui's face didn't look very good.
Zhou Wei's face darkened.
It has been more than a day since he was injured the night before yesterday. Many old troops and friends came to visit him, but Chen Shilang of the Ministry of War was still nowhere to be seen. He did not even send someone to send a gift or say a word of greeting.
Back then, Shilang Chen was his subordinate. If he hadn't promoted him, he wouldn't be where he is today.
Luo Shui said: "Right now, outsiders are spreading rumors that the emperor will remove you from your position as the general of the country, and then let the hussar general take your place."
He added: "Yesterday, Shilang Chen went to the residence of General Song Xiu."
Zhou Wei heard this and smiled coldly.
Outside the hall, Zhou Cheng's eyes were cold after listening.
Zhou Cheng did not enter the main hall, but returned to his yard and found a lot of books about weapon refining.
Both weapon refining and alchemy refining can improve the grade of the earth cauldron. However, the materials for alchemy are too expensive, while the materials for weapon refining are much cheaper. Therefore, Zhou Cheng plans to purchase some materials to refine the weapon first.
After swallowing the Marrow Cleansing Pill and evolving his qualifications, Zhou Cheng's memory became extremely good, with almost a photographic memory.
I read through it all afternoon.
Zhou Cheng had a relatively clear and comprehensive understanding of weapon refining.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Cheng took Qin Meng and three others out to purchase materials for making weapons.
Considering that upgrading the Earth Cauldron Furnace to a medium-grade spiritual weapon requires a large amount, Zhou Cheng spent nearly a hundred taels of silver to purchase a ton of iron ore materials.
After collecting all the iron ore materials into the earth cauldron, Zhou Cheng passed by the Four Seasons Drug Store, thought about it, and walked in.
When Chen Zhiqu, the manager of Four Seasons Drug Store, saw that it was Zhou Cheng, his eyes were bright and he was extremely enthusiastic: "Master, you are finally here. I have been looking forward to the stars and the moon for the past two days, waiting for you."
Zhou Cheng has a good impression of Chen Zhiqu, the manager of Four Seasons Drug Store, but looking forward to the stars and the moon seems to be his mantra?
"What are you waiting for me for?" Zhou Cheng smiled and said, "I didn't say I wanted to buy medicinal materials, right?"
Chen Zhiqu suddenly pulled Zhou Cheng to the corner, lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Master, do you still have the Body Refining Pill you had last time?"
Zhou Cheng suddenly thought, did the other party recognize that it was an ancient body refining pill?
Chen Zhiqu added: "Our fourth lady swallowed your body refining pill last time and practiced it. She said the effect of the pill was very good."
Then he added: "If you still have the master, we are willing to pay twice the price last time to buy it."
Zhou Cheng stared at the other party, shook his head and said: "I only have one of the body refining pills from last time." He decided to keep the ancient body refining pills for his own use, and who knows if the other party bought them for research purposes.
.
Chen Zhiqu heard this and looked disappointed.
Then, Zhou Cheng spent nearly 1,500 taels to buy 20 materials for refining medicinal baths and ancient body refining pills.
Now, he has reached the seventh level of body refining. Within twenty days, he will definitely be able to break through the Qi refining realm. By then, he will no longer need medicinal baths and body refining pills.
In the Qi refining realm, what is needed is elixirs to increase internal strength.
Just when Zhou Cheng and others were rushing back to the General's Mansion, a dozen uninvited guests came to the General's Mansion.
"What, Shaolin Abbot Huineng is asking for an audience outside?" In the hall, Zhou Wei heard the butler's report and thought he heard wrongly.
"Yes, sir, in addition to Abbot Huineng, there are also more than a dozen eminent monks including the head of the Shaolin Monk Academy." the housekeeper said quickly.
Zhou Wei stood up in fright: "Hurry, welcome Abbot Huineng!"
As Abbot Huineng, Emperor Zhu Xuan did not dare to neglect even if he came to the palace in person.
After Zhou Wei finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the hall and headed towards the gate of the mansion.
When he came to the gate of the mansion, Zhou Wei saw Huineng and more than ten people standing outside the gate. His heart tightened and he quickened his pace again. He came to Huineng, clasped his fists and saluted: "Zhou Wei has met Abbot Huineng and all the eminent monks."
Hui Neng and the leader of the Wu Monk Academy returned the greeting. Abbot Hui Neng smiled brightly and looked very polite. He raised his hands and said, "Amitabha, Lord Zhou, we have taken the liberty of coming to visit you. Please don't be offended."
Zhou Wei hurriedly said: "Abbot Huineng, you are so polite. When you come to my mansion, my mansion will be full of glory." Then he welcomed Huineng and others into the hall.
Luoshui came out after hearing the news and met with Zhou Wei to receive Huineng and others.
Huineng took the tea sent by the servants of the general's house, took a sip, and said: "To be honest with Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou, I came to your house this time for your son."
Son?
Zhou Wei and Luo Shui looked at each other.
"Abbott Huineng is talking about Li'er? I wonder if Li'er has offended your temple?" Zhou Wei asked.
Apparently, he and Luo Shui thought Huineng was here for his eldest son Zhou Li.
Abbot Huineng smiled, shook his hand, and said with a smile: "No, no, I am here for the second young master Zhou Cheng."
