The more anxious I am, the more my intelligence is at a loss. Staring at Dark Dragon has made my eyes a little blurry, and I still can't figure out what this thing is trying to express.
"Hey, vulva, strike another pose, change your position, maybe then I'll understand." I couldn't figure it out, so I had to discuss with Dark Dragon. Unexpectedly, it firmly shook its large triangular head, indicating disagreement. It could only gesture in this way.
Suddenly I was so angry that my eyes were spinning. I didn't want to deal with it anymore. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva seemed to be unable to bear it and reminded me again, "Young benefactor, think about where it comes from, maybe you will guess it."
Yes, it is always around taoshi, and this shape is very similar to the number four. Could it be... Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked Dark Dragon, "Did taoshi send you to find me?"
Alas! I should have realized long ago that Dark Dragon would come looking for me. It must be taoshi's request. Otherwise, given our relationship, it would have been enough for it not to bite me when it came, let alone have the patience to play this guessing game with me.
On Mount Maoshan, only Sier and taoshi genuinely care about me. Even though Sier has become less affectionate towards me after merging memories, the care is still there. In order to save me, taoshi didn't hesitate to confront the Pottery Sect Leader, and now Dark Dragon has come to find me again. I really owe him another favor, and I don't know how I'll ever repay it in the future.
Sure, here is the English translation of the input:
"Sure enough, after Dark Dragon listened to me, he immediately shut up, looking exhausted, and nodded repeatedly. He then shook his triangular head with two black frames to indicate that I had finally guessed correctly.
"Okay, I got it. Please tell taoshi for me, thank him, um! Thank you too. vulva, I have received the message you brought, you should come down now." After thanking Dark Dragon, I breathed a sigh of relief and pointed at Dark Dragon's plump body with my finger, saying impatiently. At the same time, I thought that when I returned to the sun, I should thank taoshi properly."
I had just finished speaking when I suddenly felt a lightness in my body. I thought the Dark Dragon had left, but when I looked, I saw that this guy had only transformed himself into a very small snake and coiled around my wrist.
Oh well, let it do whatever it wants, as long as it doesn't interfere with me clinging to the god-level thigh. I silently mocked in my heart as I walked to the meditation room. As soon as I entered, I knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to the master, fearing that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva might change his mind.
"Disciple, get up quickly. The ceremony for accepting a master is now just a formality. Later, His Excellency will instruct the judge to change your lifespan, so that your lifespan will end today. After today, when your lifespan is over, you will go to The underworld, or Hades. and then you will perform the ceremony to accept His Excellency as your master again. His Excellency will accept you as a closed-door disciple. Just now, His Excellency discovered that your talent is one in a million, a perfect fit to inherit His Excellency's teachings for thousands of years." As he helped me up, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva suddenly said this, scaring me almost to my knees. Damn, other masters are trying to increase their chosen disciples' lifespan, and my master wants me to die right away. This god-level leg, not easy to carry. Endless resentment in my heart...
After the resentment, in order to not end my lifespan so soon, I immediately put on a mournful face and pulled on my master's large golden kasaya sleeve, pleading, "Master, disciple hasn't lived enough yet. Most importantly, disciple still has a mother and son to support in the mortal world. So, disciple just wants to quietly be a registered disciple. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva master, can we discuss the matter of accepting closed-door disciples a hundred or eighty years later?"
"This, this is indeed my oversight. I forgot that you still have attachments in the human world. How about this, I will wait for you a hundred years later, when your normal lifespan comes to an end, and then I will accept you as a disciple before closing the door." Unexpectedly, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva agreed very graciously, which made me deeply grateful and about to kneel down again.
"Disciple, no need to bow. We are all family, there's no need for thanks. Take this, it's your identity token. When a hundred years have passed and your lifespan is over, this token will take you directly to His Excellency's presence." As Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva helped me up again, he handed me a Blackwood Token. The token was rough and didn't match Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's elegant robe at all, but even so, it made greed envy it uncontrollably.
Although I didn't take a liking to this Blackwood Token, just like I don't care for burdock, I dared to accept it with both hands out of respect for my master's reputation. However, as soon as the token came into my possession, it disappeared, leaving me startled and looking to my master for an explanation.
"Don't worry, I was afraid you might lose it, so I directly sealed it in your sea of knowledge. After a hundred years, it will automatically bounce you to The underworld, or Hades. under His Excellency's seat," replied Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva with a dignified appearance.
As soon as I heard that, I felt relieved. I thanked my master and planned to take a stroll in the underworld, then wait for the appointed time to be automatically sent back to the mortal realm.
But once again, I didn't expect that as soon as I reached the entrance of the back door with the Dark Dragon wrapped around my wrist, I was stopped by greed. However, this time he was very polite and said, " Junior Master, do you also want to bring this Dark Dragon on your wrist to the underworld?"
"Yeah, of course I have to go. I can't even get it down. I have no choice but to take it with me. Sigh," I shook my head in frustration and sighed.
"Oh, I see. Then please ask Junior Master to pay another fifty yuan for the entrance fee. Dark Dragon also needs to be redeemed, so it needs a ticket," greed's words made me stunned. I didn't expect him to stop me, not to warn me to be careful in the underworld, or to give me some money. Instead, he was asking me for the entrance fee for Dark Dragon. Sigh! We are all fellow disciples. Even if he doesn't give me a gift, can't he be more flexible about this entrance fee?"
So I asked with a smile, "Xiao Tan, look, I am now your Junior Master. How about this, we are now relatives. Can you turn a blind eye for the sake of my master, and pretend you haven't seen the Dark Dragon, issue a fake invoice, and let us through?"
"No, in the underworld, one is one, and two is two. If this Dark Dragon doesn't pay the entrance fee, it won't be able to return to the mortal world after entering the underworld. Please think twice, Junior Master." I didn't expect this greedy guy to be so straightforward. My master was sitting right there, and he didn't give me any face. He even dared to ask me for money. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that we were from the same sect just now, I would have wanted to get back the sixty bucks I gave him. How could I give him any more money for the ticket!
So I looked at my master and pretended to look very wronged, saying, "Master, look, greed is bullying me. Can you please stand up for me?"
Unfortunately, after I said all that, my master seemed to be asleep, not making a sound or even moving at all. The golden robe that was originally shining on him now dimmed, seemingly just like greed's low-quality robe.
Oops! What's going on? I immediately felt something was wrong and turned to look at greed. greed glanced at me coldly and said, " Ancestral Master has gone on another journey around the world. This statue is just one of his Dharma nature."
"What? You're saying Master has left? How am I supposed to contact him now?" I immediately panicked. Master left too quickly, and I forgot to ask for his contact information again.
"After a hundred years, you can contact the master. Now, Junior Master, are you going to return this Dark Dragon or not? Give me a straightforward answer," Greed's attitude was no longer respectful, only businesslike, as if we had just met.
Oh! I didn't expect it to be like this. So, it means that after I die, I will automatically see the master. But I don't want to die so soon. This implies that if the master doesn't actively seek me out, I won't be able to see the master while I'm alive, nor can I do anything good in the name of the master... Well, to be honest, it's just doing something bad for my own benefit, which is to bully others under the guise of the master. But now, it seems that everything will turn out to be a mirage.
As soon as I thought of this, I immediately felt sad and angry. I fiercely threw off the Dark Dragon, intending to get rid of it. I didn't expect it to really fly off in an arc. I blurted out, "I don't care, I really don't know this thing. It can go wherever it wants, it has nothing to do with me."
"Junior Master, is it not good to do this?" Seeing me so gracelessly throw off the Dark Dragon for fifty bucks, Greed couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye.
He had no idea that I only had fifty bucks left in my pocket. If I give it all to Dark Dragon, I won't have a penny left. I'll have nothing left to take to the black market. What's the point? I silently apologized to Dark Dragon in my heart, without even responding to his greedy words, and took a step towards the back door.
Unfortunately, I underestimated Dark Dragon's thick skin. As soon as I lifted my foot, he immediately pounced on me again, wrapping his arms around my neck and turning back into a human form, making it impossible for me to move. Looking at Dark Dragon's pitiful eyes, I felt a pang of guilt.
"Junior Master Ah, I think you shouldn't hesitate. Just pay the fifty bucks for it. This Dark Dragon is a rare spirit pet. Since it's so attached to you, it's your good fortune, Junior Master." Seeing this, greed immediately urged me with a smile. In his eyes, it was a fifty-buck income for him. And that's not called greed? I secretly thought to myself.
At this point, Dark Dragon still didn't speak, looking a bit anxious. Its eyes widened, and it even snarled at me, starting to intimidate me. Seeing this, I weighed the pros and cons in my mind. Right, this Dark Dragon is a great spirit pet. Can I exchange it for something else? I could sell it for fifty bucks and get another spirit pet. So, I faced Dark Dragon with a stern face and said, "vulva, I can pay the fifty bucks, as long as you obey my commands in the afterlife. I'll pay, even if I sell you, you have to obey!"
Dark Dragon After hearing the shameless conditions, nodded without hesitation to indicate agreement.
I didn't expect Dark Dragon to be so easy to talk to. I was a little stunned at the time, but greed was quick to react and said to me, "Junior Master, what are you waiting for? Pay up quickly. This top-quality spirit pet has agreed. Do you want to wait for it to change its mind? If you pay now, it will be like establishing a contract between you, and it must obey, or it will incur heavenly punishment."
