Zhou Yuan woke up from his coma and found himself in a forest. There was a bonfire beside him, but the light it emitted could only illuminate a few meters around him. It was pitch-black and strange sounds were heard from time to time, causing one's hair to stand on end.
"You're awake." A voice sounded.
Zhou Yuan looked over and saw a figure with his back facing him. It seemed to be a monk?
The reason why Zhou Yuan wasn't sure was that this monk was wearing a monk's yellow robe, but his head wasn't smooth.
" Monk?!" Zhou Yuan asked doubtfully.
The figure turned around.
Zhou Yuan almost shouted. Five horses?!
That's right, the monk in front of him looked very similar to the famous Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrity Wu Ma.
"Amitabha. Yes, This Penniless Monk is a monk!”The monk said after chanting a Buddhist proclamation.
"Phew, why am I here?" Zhou Yuan said with an ugly expression. He was clearly watching TV dramas and movies, but suddenly, his vision went black and he appeared in this strange forest. What the f * ck!
"Amitabha. This Penniless Monk doesn't know either. When This Penniless Monk passed by here, he found you lying here!”Tyrant said.
"I saw that you were still breathing and that the forest was not safe, so I started a fire and waited for you to wake up.”Tyrant continued.
"Thank you, Master!" Zhou Yuan had to thank this monk. Otherwise, he would be lying unconscious in this dark forest. Who knew what wild beasts would come over?
"Sigh, saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. Besides, it's fate to meet you in such a remote place!”Tyrant put his palms together and said.
"By the way, you haven't asked for your name yet? Why did he suddenly faint here?" Tyrant said.
"Oh, my name is Zhou Yuan. As for why I'm here? I really don't know. I don't remember anything except my own name now.”Zhou Yuan said with a bitter smile.
Zhou Yuan knew very well that he had to pretend to have amnesia when he transmigrated. After all, he had been a bookworm for more than ten years.
"I see. Poor thing.”Tyrant glanced at Zhou Yuan and said.
"You haven't asked for Grandmaster's name?”Zhou Yuan said.
"This Penniless Monk Yixiu." Master Ikxiu said with a smile.
"Yixiu?" Zhou Yuan scratched his head. Why did this name sound so familiar?
"Shua shua shua…" Suddenly, the rustling of leaves came from the surrounding forest.
"What is it?" Zhou Yuan cried out in shock. This sound coupled with the environment was extremely frightening.
"Patron, be careful. There's the aura of a demon!”Ikkyu's expression turned serious as well. He stood up, picked up his staff, and stared at his surroundings.
" Demon?!" When Zhou Yuan heard this, his face turned pale. Damn it, didn't they say that they were not allowed to become spirits after the founding of the country? Where did this demon come from?
"Hiss..." Zhou Yuan only heard a voice and saw a pitch-black figure crawling over quickly.
After entering the range of the flames, Zhou Yuan saw clearly that it was a huge snake!
Its two green eyes were even more terrifying.
It opened its mouth and bit Ikkyu.
"Vile beast!" Ikyu raised his staff and knocked it against the snake's head.
The snake shook its head and dodged Ikkyu's attack. It crawled over and wanted to attack Ikyu with its tail.
Ikyo raised his staff and chased after the snake's head. In an instant, he looked extremely fierce.
"F * ck, is this monk that fierce?”Zhou Yuan stood at the side, holding a fire stick in front of his chest. He looked at Ikkyo's ferocious performance and smacked his lips.
Under the frenzied attack, Yixiu and his staff struck the snake's head, causing the snake to instantly become dizzy.
"A little snake demon who has only cultivated for a few decades actually dares to provoke people?”Ikkyu said as he looked at the snake.
The snake kept nodding at Ikkyo and sticking out its tongue as if it was begging for mercy.
"Amitabha, the heavens are merciful. I'll spare you this time.”In the end, Master Ikyu was merciful and didn't kill this snake that had become a spirit.
"You should leave. Don't let me find out that you're doing evil. Otherwise, this poor monk will also have the power of an angry Vajra.”Ikyu said.
The snake spirit nodded and turned around, wanting to swim away. However, the moment he turned around, Ikkyo did not see the treacherous and cold look that flashed across the snake spirit's eyes.
The snake spirit's body suddenly wrapped around One Hugh, then quickly turned around and wrapped around him a few more times, revealing a snake head that looked at One Hugh greedily.
"Vile creature, I let you live, but you still don't know what's good for you.”Cautiously, he was bound by the snake spirit. When he saw the snake head reach over, Ikyo's expression changed. He reached out with his hand and grabbed the snake head. His entire body rolled to the ground!
The man and snake were in a stalemate.
Zhou Yuan had been paddling at the side until now. Finally, he found the opportunity to contribute his strength.
Zhou Yuan walked over and saw that Ikyo and the snake spirit were in a stalemate. Zhou Yuan hurriedly grabbed Ikyo's staff.
Oh my god, this staff was quite heavy. Zhou Yuan thought it was light when he saw Ikyo waving it so easily.
"I want you to eat people." Zhou Yuan took the compass and stabbed it into the snake demon's eyes.
The snake demon wanted to dodge, but Ikyo grabbed it tightly and it couldn't move at all.
Ikyu's thin body seemed to contain the power of a dragon and tiger. His pair of iron hands grabbed the snake demon tightly.
"Ssss…" The snake demon's eyes were pierced by the staff, and a large amount of blood spurted out from its eyes.
"Ah." Zhou Yuan was covered in snake blood, but he didn't let go. Instead, he continued to stir the staff, turning the snake's brain into a paste.
When the snake spirit stopped moving, the snake's body that was tightly wrapped around Ikkyu's body also relaxed.
"Alright, benefactor, this snake demon is already dead.”Ikyu said to Zhou Yuan.
"Oh." Zhou Yuan pulled out his staff after hearing Ikkaku's words. He panted as he held onto the staff. This thing was not light.
"Congratulations to the host for killing a monster with your own hands and activating the job system.”
Suddenly, a voice sounded from Zhou Yuan's heart.
"What the hell?" Zhou Yuan was shocked. There were monsters in this world. What was speaking in his heart?
However, no matter what Zhou Yuan said in his heart, that voice did not appear again. Zhou Yuan thought he was hallucinating.
"Haha, benefactor, the two of us are really fated. I saved your life, and you saved mine.”Ikkyu looked at Zhou Yuan and said with a smile. His two long eyebrows quivered, looking quite comical.
Zhou Yuan looked at Ikkyu and suddenly knelt down."Please accept me as your disciple."
"What are you doing? Get up!" Ikkyu grabbed Zhou Yuan's clothes and lifted him up.
"Master, if you hadn't saved me, I might have been eaten by this snake spirit. Master said that this is fate. I think the heavens want me to be your disciple.”Zhou Yuan was in a mess. He only had one goal, and that was to take Yixiu as his master.
Zhou Yuan had a rough idea of what kind of world this was. It should be a world full of demons and monsters. It was no longer a safe world where he could eat fried chicken and drink beer.
Taking a real person as a master was the right way to cultivate one's abilities. Otherwise, wouldn't he be stupid if he was killed by a lonely ghost at home one day?
Ikkyu was a Buddhist and believed in fate. In such a short period of time, he had a life-and-death relationship with Zhou Yuan. Could it be that the heavens wanted him to take Zhou Yuan as his disciple?
Moreover, he was old. It was time to find someone to inherit his legacy.
After thinking for a while, Yi Xiu nodded and said,"You have to think carefully. If you enter my sect and obtain my true teachings, you will have to shave your head and become a monk."”
"Disciple is willing." It didn't matter if he became a monk or not. He had to learn some skills first. Besides, couldn't he renounce asceticism after becoming a monk?
"Alright, then you'll be my disciple.”Ikyu nodded.
"Thank you, Master!" Zhou Yuan kowtowed three times.
"Congratulations to the host for choosing your profession, Monk!”
