After that, Xuan Zhen’s figure disappeared.
Only Xu Sheng and Shi Niang were left looking at each other.
Originally a kiss on the cheek was no big deal.
Xu Sheng is certainly not an innocent man.
After all, he had many women in his previous two lives.
But the cat demon in front of him had an emotional entanglement with his master, and even almost became his master's wife!
So Xu Sheng was still a little resistant.
"Sorry."
Seeing Xu Sheng glaring at him fiercely, Shi Niang puffed out his mouth with moist eyes and said aggrievedly: "At that time, I just had a twitch in my head..."
"You go."
Xu Sheng didn't say anything at this time, just said: "My master has already said this, then you have no chance of becoming my master's wife. You are not welcome in our Taoist temple."
"I'm leaving."
Shi Niang also glanced at the direction of Xuanzhen's retreat with complicated eyes, and then said: "I can only leave!"
After saying that, she turned around and left the Taoist temple.
Xu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Finally the cat demon left.
In this way, the so-called love karma between her and Xuan Zhen should have been severed.
In this case, Xu Sheng and Xuanzhen should not be embarrassed by this cat demon.
Xu Sheng was naturally not worried about what Xuanzhen would do to him.
After all, cultivators in this world do not advocate fighting and killing each other.
Especially since Xuanzhen's catastrophe is imminent, it is impossible for him to waste his mana fighting for women.
Even if Xu Sheng really got involved with this cat demon, Xu Sheng estimated that Xuan Zhen would just watch calmly.
Anyway, the matter is settled.
The days continued to be uneventful.
Xuanzhen is still in seclusion, preparing for his tribulation.
Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou presided over the Taoist temple.
In the blink of an eye, it was a month later.
However, I didn't expect that on this day, the Bai Fumei twin sisters would actually find the Taoist temple.
They came to the Taoist temple to offer incense and express their feelings as before.
Of course Xu Sheng firmly refused again.
But unexpectedly, when Xu Sheng walked to the back mountain, he saw the twin sister hugging Cheng Shou from behind.
"Donor, please respect yourself."
Chengshou was startled when he saw Xu Sheng's appearance. He immediately broke away from the soft embrace and said seriously: "Pindao is a monk."
"Little Taoist priest, I recognize you."
But the twin sister still said: "If you don't want me, I will never marry."
"Whether you marry or not is none of Pindao's business."
Chengshou then said: "I am a poor man who is devoted to the Tao and has no involvement in the secular world."
Eventually the twin sisters left sadly once again.
"Senior Brother Chengyuan."
Afterwards, Chengshou sighed and said, "I'm telling you a joke."
"Why do you say that?"
Xu Sheng asked: "When did I read a joke?"
Cheng Shou said nothing more.
Xu Sheng didn't say anything else.
At this time, Xu Sheng actually knew that Cheng Shou said this because he might have been tempted just now.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been hugged by the twin sister for a while.
He didn't take action when his family was in trouble many years ago. If he can't get through the relationship now, it might seem a bit ridiculous.
He thought Xu Sheng might laugh at him, so he said this.
But Xu Sheng actually didn't feel like laughing in his heart. Regardless of whether Cheng Shou chose love or seeking Taoism in the end, Xu Sheng felt that it was his personal freedom of choice.
After all, Cheng Shou only has one life to live, unlike Xu Sheng who has tens of thousands of lives to squander.
Maybe if he continues to seek the truth, he may not succeed in the end!
Maybe he would be happy if he accepted this girl's love.
But in the end Xu Sheng still did not speak to persuade Cheng Shou.
If Cheng Shou thinks that he might be laughed at if he accepts the girl's love, then let him think so.
Maybe in this way, his desire to seek the truth will be more determined.
Avoiding embarrassment in front of Xu Sheng will also be a reason for him to reject the love of this passionate girl.
There's nothing wrong with that.
In fact, Xu Sheng still hopes that Chengshou can continue to practice steadfastly.
After all, Xu Sheng had already sent away too many senior brothers along the way.
"You Taoist priests are so cruel."
At this time, a woman's voice came from the side and said: "Such two hot hearts were taken out from the chest and held in front of you, but they were shattered by you so ruthlessly."
"Um?"
Chengshou turned around and said, "Master's Wife?"
"Brewing?"
Xu Sheng frowned and said, "Why are you back again?"
"Why can't I come back?"
However, at this moment Shi Niang jumped down from the tree, hugged his big chest with two jade arms, and said confidently: "I said I wanted to leave, but I didn't say I wouldn't come back. Also, I'm older than you, I It’s your elder! Do you still care about me?”
"..." Xu Sheng was speechless, looking at her trembling waves, and thought to himself: "Okay, you are older and you are more powerful."
Shi Niang stayed in the Taoist temple like this.
She started cooking, making all kinds of delicious vegetarian dishes, and then giving them to Xuanzhen.
However, Xuanzhen did not accept it.
In the end, Xu Sheng ate all the meals she cooked.
Since his twin sister left, Cheng Shou went to retreat, saying he wanted to immerse himself in his own state of mind.
Wait until Xuanzhen's retreat is over before coming out.
No more good food.
"Thank you, Master."
Xu Sheng looked at the food brought back by Shi Niang and said with a smile, "What's the dish today?"
"Now I have one master wife at a time."
Shi Niang turned around gracefully, and sat down next to the dining table where Xu Sheng was eating, and said, "Didn't you even disagree with me no matter how much you screamed before?"
"Who told me, Master, that your cooking is so delicious?"
Xu Sheng said as if he was making a promise while eating: "Once a master's wife, always a master's wife!"
"Humph, look at your virtue!"
A smile spread across Shi Niang's face, and he said with charming eyes: "Now you know what Master Wife is like!"
"knew."
Xu Sheng nodded and said: "Master's wife is great!"
"Why."
Shi Nian smiled and turned to look at Xuanzhen who was in retreat. The smile on his face disappeared again. He supported his chin with his hand and sighed: "It would be great if your master said the same thing as you."
"Master, do you want me to say that? I say my wife is good."
Xu Sheng said innocently: "Then you have to marry my master's master? Then my master can call you master like me, and also say that master is good! Okay, I didn't expect, master, you are such a half-hearted woman!" "
"???"
Shi Niang looked back, his hair rippling, and his beautiful eyes stared at Xu Sheng: "Xiao Chengyuan, what nonsense are you talking about? I don't mean that!"
Xu Sheng smiled slightly.
Of course he knew that brewing was not what he meant, so he expressed such an outrageous understanding.
It's just a deliberate interruption.
After all, during this period, Shi Niang finished cooking every day and sent it to Xuanzhen with a smile on his face, but he came back with a sad face every time.
In fact, Xu Sheng is not really greedy for this food and appetite. In his previous life, as the founding emperor, what delicious food did he not eat?
He just couldn't bear to see the meals this woman worked hard to make every day go unnoticed.
And Xu Sheng had already understood it at this time.
Shi Niang is acting like this because he actually wants to spend some time with Xuanzhen for the last time.
If Xuanzhen fails to overcome the tribulation, then this period of time will be the last time of Xuanzhen's life, and it will also be the last time for the two of them to get along.
If Xuan Zhen succeeds in overcoming the tribulation, he will ascend and leave this world, and the two of them will be separated.
Unless this cat demon also practices brewing well and successfully transcends the tribulation and ascends to heaven, then the two of them can finally become a disciple.
But how difficult is it to achieve enlightenment?
The Master Xuan Zhen that Xu Sheng mentioned just now is said to have failed!
He died in the thunder disaster.
Xuanzhen refused to eat Shi Niang's food, probably because he was afraid that Shi Niang would be seriously injured.
He was afraid that if he failed to overcome the tribulation, Shi Niang would be left alone and sad.
If he succeeds in overcoming the tribulation, the two of them will be separated by two worlds, leaving Shi Niang alone to practice hard.
He still doesn't know what the world will be like after ascending.
Brewing here may not necessarily lead to successful enlightenment!
But although Xuanzhen said he would not accept Shi Niang's kindness to him.
But in fact, he did not order many disciples to drive Shi Niang away.
This is actually a subconscious attitude.
Xu Sheng understood that Xuanzhen should also have feelings for Shi Niang.
It was also because of this that Xu Sheng really called Shi Niang one by one.
One of them and one of them is a demon. In fact, they are lovers and concubines.
It's a pity that the two of them can't be together now.
The two people's cultivation levels were not equal, so they could not cultivate together. Xuanzhen's physical body had begun to grow old, and he had to overcome the tribulation and attain enlightenment as soon as possible.
There is no way to raise the cultivation level so easily and quickly.
Therefore, neither this person nor the monster revealed it.
Both sides are accompanying each other in their own way.
Therefore, even though Shi Niang said that Xuanzhen would not eat the various meals cooked every day, she was still very happy with them.
Although in the end all these meals ended up in Xu Sheng's stomach.
But she's not a fool either.
Knowing that Xuanzhen didn't drive her away was actually an attitude.
This woman is praying for a possibility, that is, Xuanzhen's ascension will succeed!
And she wants a promise from Xuan Zhen.
He promised that after he succeeded in overcoming the tribulation, he would wait for her in the world after ascension. When she also one day attains enlightenment, they would meet again after she ascends!
Promise that even if the two worlds are separated, we can still stick to each other's love!
Xu Sheng could only sigh silently and ask what love was in the world.
Then eat all the meals cooked by Shi Niang every day.
Life goes on like this.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Finally Xuanzhen came out of seclusion.
It also means that he is about to pass the tribulation.
The disciples in the Taoist temple were all worried about Xuan Zhen.
On this day, the core disciples in the Taoist temple gathered together because Xuan Zhen had to make the final confession.
Those disciples who did not have magic power were not present. Those who were present were all disciples who were truly practicing.
There are only twenty-one in total!
As for those ordinary Taoist priests who have no magic power, after this meeting is over, any results will be announced to them.
"We have to prepare for the final tribulation! The specific time is one month from now!"
Xuanzhen sat cross-legged in the middle. He opened his mouth and said to the many disciples below: "I declare that the position of the temple master will be taken by Chengyuan!"
As soon as these words came out, many of the disciples present were slightly surprised, and then a small burst of noise broke out. Instead of looking at Xu Sheng, everyone looked at Cheng Shou.
Because over the years everyone has known that Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou are the most likely to become the next Guanzhu.
However, Cheng Shou's cultivation level was a little stronger than Xu Sheng's. Some people originally guessed that Xuan Zhen would pass this position to Cheng Shou.
Cheng Shou also showed a hint of surprise.
Only Xu Sheng's face was calm, as if he had already guessed this result.
Sure enough, Xuanzhen soon explained that this was not because Chengshou was bad.
Rather, he felt that Chengshou had a greater chance of succeeding in enlightenment, so he hoped that Chengshou could concentrate on practicing.
That’s why Xu Sheng was chosen as the conservator!
Of course, as a temple owner, you still need to have a certain amount of magic power to convince the public.
So he chose Xu Sheng.
Hearing this, surprise flashed across Cheng Shou's face again, and then he felt how much Xuan Zhen valued him!
The other disciples were also solemn and looked at Xu Sheng one by one.
But Xu Sheng's face remained calm, because he had already guessed all this.
Xu Sheng then of course said that he would manage the Taoist temple well and try not to disappoint his master.
Chengshou also said that he will practice seriously and will never let his master down!
The word he used was absolute!
Xu Sheng just said to fight for it.
After that, Xuanzhen asked other disciples to leave first.
Only Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou were left.
He didn't explain anything about the Taoist temple, but said that after he left, he hoped that Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou could take care of the brewing more.
Chengshou was surprised.
I didn’t expect that the master would say something like this in the end!
"The master has entrusted you with something, and the disciples dare not disobey!"
Xu Sheng said: "Don't worry! This disciple will definitely take good care of his wife!"
Xuanzhen nodded when he heard this and patted Xu Sheng's shoulder.
"You obviously care about me!"
At this moment, Shi Niang, dressed in red, walked out from the side. She asked with tears in her eyes: "Why don't you admit it? Why don't you give me what I want?"
She looked at Xuanzhen steadily with her big, beautiful eyes.
"you?"
Xuanzhen was surprised, then sighed: "Why waste mana on doing such a thing?"
They had not used mana induction before, so they did not know that brewing was actually a waste of mana, so they lurked in the room and eavesdropped.
Xuanzhen and Shi Niang looked at each other for a long time.
"What do you want?" Xuanzhen finally said.
"Don't you know?" Shi Niang just asked.
Chengshou was already stupid.
"Master, that disciple will retreat first!" Of course, Xu Sheng spoke at this time.
Cheng Shou also reacted and quickly resigned.
"Little Kitty Demon, let's go."
Xuanzhen said again: "I can't give you what you want."
He still doesn't want to make a commitment.
He also returned to the retreat room.
Shi Niang was so aggrieved that he had tears in his eyes.
But she still did not leave the Taoist temple.
"Master Wife, why didn't you cook today?"
When Xu Sheng saw Shi Niang crying on the edge of the cliff, he couldn't help but walked over and touched his stomach and said, "I'm hungry!"
"You go to hell!"
Shi Niang was very angry and cursed: "Didn't you see that I was crying? You still want me to cook for you. Do you have any conscience?"
"But I ate the food cooked by my mistress!"
Xu Sheng said aggrievedly: "Now I can't eat what other people in the Taoist temple cook!"
"Nonsense!" Shi Niang rolled his eyes.
"Really." Xu Sheng said.
"Then you will starve to death!"
Shi Ni said: "You can starve to death! After all, you are that bastard's apprentice, so you must be a bastard too!"
Xu Sheng said no more.
He just sat there silently, looking at the wind outside the mountain.
"Why didn't you speak?" Shi Niang said again.
"I haven't eaten, I'm too hungry, I don't want to talk!" Xu Sheng said.
"..." Shi Niang was speechless.
Then he said: "Huh, I'm not in the mood to cook today!"
Then she sat there and said nothing.
Xu Sheng also sat there without saying anything.
In fact, he didn't have any special motive. He just saw Shi Niang so sad and wanted to sit with her for a while.
After all, the only ones she could speak to in this Taoist temple were Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou.
But Chengshou ran away to practice again.
"Little Chengyuan, do you think I look good?"
Suddenly Shi Niang asked again: "Am I ugly among human women with my appearance?"
"I haven't eaten, I'm too hungry, I can't answer!" Dan Xu Sheng said.
"..." Shi Niang was speechless.
"How is my figure? Is it bad?" Then she continued to ask: "Why is your master always indifferent to me?"
"I haven't eaten, I'm too hungry, I can't answer!" But Xu Sheng said again.
"???" Shi Niang said angrily.
"Okay, I'm going to cook for you!" Then she squeezed her little pink fist and said, "Answer me quickly! You stinky boy."
"Good-looking and in great shape!"
Xu Sheng also immediately said: "Go and cook. I'm really hungry."
"Humph, I knew it." Shi Niang still sighed.
But I still got up and went to cook.
After all, she is the master's wife. As an elder, how can she deceive the younger generation?
Fast forward one month later.
Xuanzhen is finally going to survive the catastrophe.
On top of the mountain.
Xu Sheng, Shi Niang, Cheng Shou, and other Taoist disciples were all on the list.
Everyone is looking at the sky.
At this time, Xuanzhen used his magic power to fly high into the sky with his physical body.
Into the depths of lightning and thunder.
Boom!
The thunder is fierce!
You can vaguely see the thunder hitting Xuan Zhen over and over again.
But I can't see clearly.
After all, they were on top of a mountain.
And Xuanzhen is deep in the sky.
After a period of time.
It's not over yet.
"Little Chengyuan, do you think your master can successfully overcome the calamity?"
Shi Niang was so nervous that she even held Xu Sheng's arm tightly with her jade hands.
But Xu Sheng didn't answer, and Cheng Shou and other disciples didn't answer either.
Because no one knows what the outcome will be.
In particular, Master Xuanzhen also failed in overcoming the tribulation and was completely destroyed.
Of course, when everyone is nervous.
Suddenly a halo of light shone down from high in the sky.
"Is this a success?"
Everyone was shocked, shocked, and surprised when they saw this.
Because according to Taoist legends, after successfully overcoming the tribulation and attaining the true path, a halo will shine down from the sky, guiding the person who has successfully overcome the tribulation and ascending to the fairy world.
"Master actually succeeded in overcoming the tribulation!"
"Very good!"
"Master is indeed strong enough!"
The other disciples in the Taoist temple were very excited.
I witnessed with my own eyes that Xuan Zhen had successfully overcome the tribulation and was about to be taken up to ascend.
This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm.
It has made the wavering hearts of many disciples who are on the path of cultivation become more determined.
The same goes for Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou.
"It actually worked!" Xu Sheng was pleasantly surprised and a little surprised.
He originally thought Xuanzhen was going to die.
I didn’t expect Xuanzhen to be really good at it!
"Great." Shi Niang was also very happy.
What I didn't expect was that it would be at this time.
"Little kitten demon!"
Xuanzhen, who was high in the sky, actually transmitted the words down. He said: "I will wait for you in the world after ascension."
"Really?" Shi Niang was surprised.
Unexpectedly, she finally got the promise she wanted.
It turns out that Xuanzhen had never accepted her affection before. He was just afraid that if he failed to overcome the catastrophe, she would be left alone and sad.
Now that he had successfully overcome the calamity, he immediately stopped holding back and poured out the affection in his heart.
"But I may not be able to practice enough to ascend successfully!"
Of course, Shi Niang also shouted: "You may not be able to go to that world!"
"You won't come."
Unexpectedly, Xuanzhen actually said: "I have been waiting for you!"
Xu Sheng and many disciples were shocked.
I didn’t expect Master Xuanzhen to have such strong feelings for Shi Niang!
"What?"
Shi Niang also trembled all over, and his beautiful eyes were instantly filled with tears.
Of course, before Shi Jiu could say anything else, the beam of light shining down from the sky directly attracted Xuan Zhen.
Xuanzhen disappeared directly into the sky.
"I will definitely practice hard!"
After that, Shi Niang also shouted from the top of the mountain: "I will definitely ascend successfully, and I will go to that world to see you!"
Her voice echoed across the mountains.
"Little Chengyuan, did you hear that?"
Then she turned around and said to Xu Sheng with a bright smile: "Your master said he would wait for me! He said he would wait for me!
"
After saying that, she jumped up and down with joy, like a little girl who got candy.
After that, of course everyone returned to the Taoist temple.
Shi Niang has not left the Taoist temple.
She walked around the Taoist temple.
Especially the place where Xuanzhen stayed.
Although Xuanzhen was not by her side, she was very happy. The previous dull and sad expression on her face was changed, and her delicate face was filled with a bright and bright smile.
"Congratulations, Master!"
Xu Sheng also smiled and said: "I got what I wanted! But aren't you going to practice seriously now?"
"I want to go!"
Shi Niang smiled brightly and said coquettishly: "But before I leave, I want to cook another meal with you little guy! Thank you for staying with me during this time! I can't cook for you here anymore!"
"Don't worry, Master Wife."
Xu Sheng also smiled and said: "Actually, I said I had to eat your food before, but I was just lying to you. As the master of the temple, I naturally have to cook."
"I know."
Shi Niang rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not a fool!"
Of course she eventually insisted on cooking.
Xu Sheng called the other brothers and sisters over.
Everyone had a meal together to celebrate Master's success in overcoming the tribulation.
Eat late.
Then everyone went to sleep separately.
Shi Niang also slept in the Taoist temple that night.
She is ready to leave tomorrow!
After all, it was not appropriate for her to be a banshee staying in a Taoist temple.
Xu Sheng didn't think much about it. He was also happy from the bottom of his heart that Xuanzhen had succeeded in attaining enlightenment.
However, he didn't expect that that night, when Xu Sheng fell into a deep sleep.
Suddenly he had a dream.
A bright red scene came into his eyes in the dream.
"Don't ascend!"
Four bright red characters written with blood were on the ground in a mountain forest.
Next to these four characters, there is the disheveled severed head of master Xuan Zhen, who is blind in one eye. There is a tooth-shaped wound on the neck under the head.
"master!
! "
Xu Sheng, sweating profusely, suddenly woke up from the bed, then immediately got out of bed and rushed out of the room.
Unexpectedly, he saw the door next to him suddenly open, and a disheveled Shi Niang appeared at the door with a pale face. Xu Sheng even saw a large patch of trembling white and tender flesh.
But Xu Sheng didn't have any charming thoughts at this time, and his eyes met Shi Niang's charming eyes.
Without speaking, the two people knew immediately that they had received the same dream!
Of course, Shi Niang had already noticed that her beauty was revealed at this time, and she was also shocked, and then quickly put on her clothes.
At this time, the door to the room next to Xu Sheng also opened, and the figure of Cheng Shou, who was also sweating profusely, appeared outside the door.
It turns out that Xuanzhen entrusted the dream to three people!
The three people looked at each other in the middle of the night!
At this moment I feel like I'm all covered in hair!
Xuan Zhen has obviously successfully overcome the tribulation, achieved enlightenment, and ascended to the immortal world!
Why would you give them such a dream? ? ?
"I think I know where that place is!"
Then Xu Sheng said: "That place in the dream!"
Xu Sheng said that there was no nonsense and he offered a green leaf magic weapon.
The three of them jumped on the magic weapon.
No more stingy mana.
Xu Sheng took the two of them directly to the mountains.
Sure enough, I saw Xuanzhen's head rolling down in the forest.
Next to it were four large characters written in blood: "Don't ascend!"
Everything is exactly the same as in the dream.
"Why is this happening?" Cheng Shou trembled.
"How could it be?" Shi Niang's tears fell straight down.
They originally thought that at the end of their practice, if they could overcome the tribulation and ascend, they would be able to reach the legendary immortal world and become immortal immortals.
But now Xuanzhen has become like this!
"What happened after ascending?" Xu Sheng also raised his head and looked deep into the sky.
This time, Xuanzhen's death should not have been caused by the fake Guanyin Master.
Because Xuanzhen has not received any enlightenment from her.
Xu Sheng guessed that Xuanzhen might have encountered some terrible horror after being picked up.
In the end, only one head escaped and fell here.
Before he died, he used his head as a pen and his blood as ink to write these four characters.
And with his last mana, he entrusted this scene to the three of them in a dream.
At this moment, among the mountains and forests in the middle of the night, the three of them looked at each other again, feeling numb from head to toe.
Xu Shenggeng had goosebumps all over his body.
"Is this the eternal night that the fake Guanyin Master said?"
Finally, Xu Sheng thought of his own experience in the previous life, and thought to himself: "Is this what she said is a dead end for cultivating immortality?"
