Of course, the two of them immediately thought of Qiu Yuanzi.
"So our son can really become an immortal?"
Naturally, the couple also mentioned Qiu Yuanzi to Xuanzhen.
Xuanzhen was surprised at first, thinking that Xu Sheng had already accepted another Taoist disciple.
However, I learned that Qiu Yuanzi never appeared again after leaving and did not accept Xu Sheng as his disciple.
He no longer cared about this matter.
Later, Xuanzhen said that Xu Sheng's immortal roots were extraordinary and that if he devoted himself to cultivating Taoism, he should achieve success.
However, cultivating the Tao requires becoming a monk and practicing with concentration, and very few people can endure the hardships.
Everything depends on the will.
He also knew that Yang Zhenwu and Xu Xinlan were reluctant to let their son become a Taoist priest.
But at this time Xu Sheng expressed that he wanted to be a Taoist priest and wanted to practice with the Taoist master.
Yang Zhenwu and Xu Xinlan couldn't help but be surprised. They didn't expect that Xu Sheng himself would take the initiative to say this.
Originally, they were still struggling!
After all, it would be a great opportunity for his son to embark on the path to immortality.
But they really couldn't bear to let their son become a monk.
Xuanzhen also said with slight surprise that although Xu Sheng was physically young, due to the nourishment of his spiritual roots, Huiling was born early and was much smarter than ordinary children.
He didn't expect the possibility of Bingjie reincarnation. After all, there were too few people who could succeed in this way.
In the end, Xuanzhen gave a solution, that is, Xu Sheng should not become a monk first.
He can teach Xu Sheng some cultivation methods and let Xu Sheng practice at home first.
When Xu Sheng grows up, he comes again. If Xu Sheng still wants to practice Taoism, he will accept Xu Sheng as his disciple.
After all, there are many difficulties and obstacles in the path of cultivating the Tao. If your will is not strong enough, it is impossible to achieve enlightenment, so it is better not to practice.
Yang Zhenwu and Xu Xinlan both agreed.
In this way, Xu Sheng will still stay with them, and the decision made after Xu Sheng grows up will be relatively more reliable.
Xuanzhen stayed at the Yang family for a few days after that, and he taught Xu Sheng some of the techniques he used in his initial practice.
Xu Sheng was surprised to find that martial arts had not improved after a hundred years, but Taoist techniques seemed to have evolved more than a hundred years ago.
Some of the concepts of Xuanzhen Religion seem to be more advanced than those collected by Xu Sheng a hundred years ago.
But it’s understandable if you think about it. After all, the Taoist sect has received preferential treatment from the Daxu Dynasty for more than a hundred years, and may have a better soil for development.
So it evolved a bit.
"Okay, I will teach you this much for the time being. You can't bite off more than you can chew."
Xuanzhen said goodbye this day: "Boy, you should practice hard. Remember not to use magic power to interfere with the world, so as not to be contaminated by cause and effect. Let it last for five years. I will come again after five years. If you still want to practice Taoism at that time, follow me. Go to Yunhu Temple."
In this world, after monks become monks, they often have to cut off all love and love, and naturally cannot marry and have children.
Even if most people are able to practice, they are not willing to practice.
I'd rather be an ordinary person.
"Master, on the way back."
Xu Sheng also said respectfully: "Be careful."
"master?"
Xuanzhen was surprised, smiled, shook his head and said, "You and I have not yet performed the ceremony of master and disciple, and we cannot be called masters and disciples yet. When you grow up, if you still want to practice, let's talk about it..."
"If you have the gift of teaching, you will naturally become a teacher."
Xu Sheng said again: "Once a teacher, always a father!"
Xuanzhen was stunned, smiled and touched Xu Sheng's head, then turned and left.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Chunhua suddenly appeared next to Xu Sheng. She looked at Xuanzhen's leaving figure and said regretfully: "The Taoist must have been a handsome man when he was young. But why, why does the Taoist have no son?"
"..." Xu Sheng was speechless.
Then time continues to flow forward.
Another five years passed in the blink of an eye.
May
He’s eight years old!
Of course, Xuanzhen blocked Xu Sheng's spiritual root aura before leaving, so no other practitioners came to visit him again.
In the past five years, Xu Sheng has improved to a small level in his cultivation of Taoism.
The third small realm has been completed, and the cultivation of the fourth small realm has begun.
Since Xuanzhen explained it five years ago, Yang Zhenwu and Xu Xinlan no longer frowned because Xu Sheng grew up slower than others.
But they have all aged a bit in the past five years.
Of course they gave birth to a younger brother for Xu Sheng.
The maid Chunhua still hated getting married. She met some men through a matchmaker, but none of them hit it off.
My sister Yang Caiying has grown up a lot.
Now he is much taller than Xu Gao.
Xu Sheng has actually grown a bit in size. He is almost the same as his youngest brother who is now three years old.
this day.
My younger sister, Yang Caiying, got into a fight with the son of a family at the end of the street where she had just moved!
After all, Yang Zhenwu runs a martial arts gym. Yang Caiying has been running around in the martial arts gym since she was a child, so she naturally started practicing martial arts.
And her talent is pretty good.
This resulted in her not becoming a gentle and quiet lady, but a tomboy who liked to dance with swords and sticks all day long.
But the son of the newly moved family has a good foundation in martial arts.
Yang Caiying was actually no match.
"You brat, how dare you bully me!"
After falling to the ground, Yang Caiying got up from the ground crying. She shouted: "If you wait for my brother to come over, you will be dead! My brother is amazing!"
"
"Your brother?"
The nine-year-old boy opposite was surprised: "Is he very powerful? Where is he? Let him come out!"
He also said very arrogantly: "Since I was a child, I have never lost to my peers in martial arts competitions!"
At this time, Xu Sheng slowly walked over.
"Brother!" Yang Caiying shouted and rushed to Xu Sheng's side: "He bullied me!"
"Brother?" The little boy opposite was dumbfounded: "He is your brother? Hahaha, are you sure he's not your brother? Your brother turns out to be a dwarf!"
Peng!
Of course his laughter soon stopped.
Because he had been kicked away by Xu Sheng.
A few minutes later.
"impossible!"
The boy had become bruised and swollen. He looked at the little Xu Sheng and said in disbelief: "How can you be so strong!"
Xu Sheng certainly had no trouble dealing with this little boy.
"Hmph! I said my brother is very powerful, right?"
Yang Caiying put her hands on her hips, raised her chin and said, "My brother is not a dwarf, he is a genius! A genius that you can't understand!"
Since Xuanzhen ordered that Xu Sheng's spiritual roots should not be leaked, the Yang family did not widely spread the reason for Xu Sheng's slow growth.
Even though many people have been laughing behind their backs because the Yang family's son seems not to grow up.
After saying that, Yang Caiying held Xu Sheng's hand, just like a sister holding her brother's hand: "Ignore you, brother, let's go home!"
After a while the two returned home.
I heard crying before I even entered the house.
"I want to eat candied haws, I don't care, I just want to eat candied haws..." A boy about the same size as Xu Sheng sat on the ground in the hall and was crying.
"Yang Yunteng, what are you doing?" But as Xu Sheng and Yang Caiying walked in, Yang Caiying frowned. She only said one sentence, and the little boy stopped crying and stood up from the ground with some fear.
Yes, he was manipulated by Yang Caiying.
Xu Sheng looked at the scene at home and smiled.
Of course there is still some reluctance.
Because Xuanzhen has occasionally passed by a few times in the past few years, and he also came over to see how Xu Sheng's cultivation progress was.
He heard that Xu Sheng's martial arts was not weak, and he advised Xu Sheng not to spend too much time on martial arts.
I didn't know that Xu Sheng had hardly practiced martial arts in these years. His current martial arts strength was inherited from his previous life.
And Xuanzhen came again three days ago.
Now that the five-year period has come, Xuanzhen said that after he had finished handling some trivial matters, he would come over to take Xu Sheng to become a monk and go to the Taoist temple.
So Xu Sheng said goodbye to his family that night.
He said he wanted to become a monk and practice Taoism!
Although Yang Zhenwu and Xu Xinlan were reluctant to leave, they had also investigated Yunhu Temple where Xuanzhen was located over the years and knew that it was a reliable and orthodox Taoist temple.
Therefore, they did not stop Xu Sheng, who had lived for eight years, from making such a decision.
Before leaving, Xu Sheng also spent some time giving pointers on Yang Caiying's martial arts.
I also played a game with my younger brother who was still ignorant.
He didn't give up in his heart either.
But he also knew that to practice Taoism is to become a monk.
In the past, physical growth problems caused parents only one inconvenience.
If he stays here any longer, not to mention all the other troubles, he will definitely be forced to get married when he grows up.
If you remain unmarried, people around you will look at you strangely. Even if you don't take it seriously, your parents and family will definitely not feel comfortable with it.
In short, all these are environmental factors that are not good for spiritual practice.
Now that I don't have many karma on my body, only these few family members have karma entangled with me.
Nowadays it is best to become a monk directly.
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain!
If you stay longer, grow older, make more friends, or even have some emotional entanglements with a woman, it will be even more difficult to settle down and practice Taoism.
Even if he doesn't want to seduce a girl, what if a girl has deep feelings for him?
When the time comes, the love will be too deep to bear, and it will not only hurt others, but also hurt yourself.
It will also become a psychological burden and affect the state of mind of practicing Taoism in the future.
So Xu Sheng is still determined to become a monk now.
this day.
The white-haired Xuanzhen finished his work.
Wearing a Taoist robe, he came to take Xu Sheng away.
When Yang Caiying saw this, her nose turned red from tears.
"Practice as I teach you for a while, and that kid will not be your opponent." Seeing this, Xu Sheng smiled and said to Yang Caiying.
"Brother, I can't bear to leave you." But Yang Caiying still choked and said with her lips pursed.
"Brother, where are you going to play? Can you take me with you? I want to go too!" The ignorant younger brother looked at Xu Sheng expectantly.
"You will listen to your sister at home from now on, you know?" Xu Sheng just touched his head.
"Master, do you really want to be a Taoist priest? You won't be able to marry and have children after becoming a Taoist priest!" Chunhua's eyes were also red, and she said: "You must think about it! With a look like yours, Master, you will definitely grow up It’s easy to find a wife!”
Chunhua has been on blind dates many times over the years, and now she is very familiar with the goings-on in the blind date market.
"Sister Chunhua," Xu Sheng said, "Don't ask for too much, good character is the most important thing. Don't always think about handsome men, cover your head and put out the lights, men are all the same."
"..." Chunhua's fat eyes widened.
In the end, Yang Zhenwu and Xu Xinlan, whose eyes were also red, were left.
"Father, mother."
Xu Sheng knelt down and kowtowed to them and said, "Please forgive me for being unfilial and unable to continue the Yang family's lineage."
Although Xu Sheng has a Zhiyang body, in fact, if he really wants to get married by then, he can.
It doesn't affect the practice as much as others.
But Xu Sheng told no one about the secret of the Zhi Yang Body, including Xuan Zhen.
Naturally, the parents don't know either.
Over the years, Yang Zhenwu and Xu Xinlan also learned a lot about Taoist priests.
Now, in their opinion, Taoist priests must renounce love and avoid sexual intercourse with women.
.
"It's okay, go ahead."
Yang Zhenwu sighed and said, "Practice well. If our family can produce an immortal cultivator, that would be great too."
"The Taoist Master said that in your Taoism, you should cut off cause and effect and stay away from the worldly world! You, you... when we are dying, just come and visit us."
Xu Xinlan also said with tears in her eyes: "I hope that by then, mother can see that you have succeeded in cultivating Taoism... and that you are still a young man in your prime."
Xu Sheng nodded and hugged them.
"You must be good!"
Finally, Xu Sheng's eyes swept across the people in front of him who he cared about in this life, and with his eyes red, he condensed thousands of words into this sentence.
Then he left with Xuanzhen.
All the way.
We came to a Taoist temple called Yunhu Temple on Yunhu Mountain.
