More than four months have passed.
Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun had to stop.
Because the dragon and the fire phoenix have become extremely weak, although they have not died yet, without the nourishment of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, their blood has lost its original effectiveness.
In addition, the little Taoist nun's pregnant belly has also become a little bigger at this time.
Of course, Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun now have unusual physiques, and their cultivation levels are much better than many ordinary practitioners in this world.
Therefore, their child is not as simple as being conceived in ten months, and the child will stay in the belly longer.
It is estimated that it may take several years for the little Taoist nun to be born.
Therefore, the pregnant belly at this time is only slightly pregnant.
Of course, since there is no energy for refining at this time.
Xu Sheng naturally wanted to let the little Taoist nun go.
"Wait a minute, we haven't checked the other things in that old space artifact yet."
But at this time, the little Taoist nun said: "Let's take a look, maybe there is some treasure. After all, this old thing has needed to feed the fire phoenix before, so he should have it."
"That makes sense."
Xu Sheng's eyes lit up: "Look!"
Then the two of them checked.
I found that it really does exist.
Although it is not very much, it is not very few either.
And dragons can also be eaten.
Soon they naturally fed these things to the dragon and the fire phoenix.
It didn't take long for the dragon and fire phoenix to regain their energy.
"Continue to practice."
The little Taoist nun immediately drained their blood and said: "This old thing has collected a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which should be enough for us to feed them again."
"Amitabha."
At this time, Xu Sheng was also hugging the little Taoist nun and said, "It seems that the old man has made wedding clothes for us."
The little Taoist nun also smiled.
Then she shouted Amitabha again.
The two continued to practice the Great Pure Land Sutra for six months.
The treasures of heaven and earth left behind by the old man were fed by the dragon and the fire phoenix. Seeing that the descendants of the two great beasts became extremely weak, the two of them really stopped.
Ten months have passed by this time.
The two of them directly practiced the Maha Pure Land Sutra for ten months.
Seeing the little Taoist nun, who was neatly dressed and whose pregnant belly was already bigger, walking to the other side to practice cross-legged and consolidate her cultivation, Xu Sheng felt a sudden dream-like feeling in his heart.
After that, Xu Sheng, of course, didn't talk nonsense and swallowed up the pure Yang soul of the old man in the little Taoist nun's gourd magic weapon with the Great Taotie Technique.
That's right, after ten months of baptism in the Great Pure Land Sutra, the limit of Xu Sheng's Taotie Technique has indeed been raised.
Before his soul was swallowed up, the old man regretted the sneak attack on Xu Sheng.
But it's no longer useful.
A few months passed in the blink of an eye.
Xu Sheng's wave of refining increased the number of his Pure Yang Souls by another thirty.
From one hundred and sixty-four to one hundred and ninety-four!
"Flying Sword, get up!"
At this time, Xu Sheng pinched the seal.
uniform!
A total of one hundred and forty-one flying swords roared into the air.
Buzz!
With one hundred and forty-one flying swords circulating.
The golden sword light of the Small Thousand Sword Formation appeared, much more condensed and stronger than before.
"I wonder if I can now fight head-on with that fake Guanyin Master?"
Feeling his increased strength, Xu Sheng couldn't help but thought to himself: "I should be able to protect myself, right? I just don't know if I can kill her."
Of course, the fake Guanyin Master was very ferocious, and Xu Sheng had no intention of going to fight with her at this time.
Now that he and the little Taoist nun have found a new way to become stronger quickly.
Naturally, we have to continue to improve until we are strong enough!
Until when you are 100% sure to kill that fake Guanyin Master.
Besides, the baby in the little Taoist nun’s belly hasn’t been born yet.
No matter what, we have to wait until the child is born.
While Xu Sheng was thinking about this, the little Taoist nun also opened her beautiful eyes.
The two looked at each other.
Soon they were hugging each other again.
Of course, they just hugged each other at this time and did nothing else. After all, without the blood of the dragon and the blood of the fire phoenix, it was no longer possible to perform the Great Pure Land Sutra.
After that, of course the two of them left the place.
I need to find some heavenly and earthly treasures for the dragon and the fire phoenix to continue practicing the Great Pure Land Sutra.
Of course, I don’t know where to find such treasures of heaven, materials and earth at the moment.
So Xu Sheng said he wanted to go back to Yunhu Temple first.
It has been many, many years since he left the Taoist temple.
I don’t know what happened to Yunhu Temple.
He wanted to take the little Taoist nun back to see the place where he grew up in his second life.
Let me know if you encounter any news about heavenly materials and earthly treasures along the way.
The little Taoist nun also said that she also wanted to see the place where Xu Sheng grew up in this life.
Then of course the two of them set off back to Yunhu Temple.
But unexpectedly, before they arrived at Yunhu Temple, Xu Sheng and his pregnant little Taoist nun met Cheng Shou, his thirty-year junior brother.
Cheng Shou is now very old.
Not the white-haired childlike appearance of a practitioner, but the real old age.
His head is covered with withered white hair, his face is covered with wrinkles and age spots, his back can’t even be straightened, and his teeth are almost gone. The pupils in a pair of eyes looked full of twilight.
Cheng Shou was walking on the street with the support of his granddaughter. Unexpectedly, he bumped into Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun.
Xu Sheng didn't recognize Cheng Shou at first, until Cheng Shou stood in front of him in shock.
At this time, Xu Sheng was going back to Yunhu Temple, so he did not disguise his appearance and used the identity of Chengyuan. Only the little Taoist nun wore the Qianhuan Mask to avoid the search of the fake Guanyin Master.
Of course, the Qianhuan Mask only slightly changed her face.
She still looks like a beautiful young woman.
Xu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Cheng Shou carefully, and recognized him the next moment.
Suddenly Xu Sheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart that time is not forgiving.
The little Taoist nun didn't know why. After all, she didn't know the past between Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou.
The granddaughter next to Cheng Shou didn't know why her grandfather reacted like this.
After that.
When the little Taoist nun heard Xu Sheng introduce that Cheng Shou was Xu Sheng's younger brother, she also touched her pregnant belly and smiled and said polite words to Cheng Shou.
Afterwards, the two senior brothers communicated.
After some exchanges.
Only then did Xu Sheng find out that Cheng Shou's wife had passed away.
Including the twin sister who loved Xu Sheng and was his wife, they have also passed away.
Now only Chengshou, an old man who is about to be buried, is left to live under the care of his descendants.
After all, Chengshou finally had some knowledge of cultivation back then, so he must have lived longer than the twin sisters.
So I haven’t died of old age yet.
Of course, over the years, Cheng Shou has completely degenerated into a mortal.
After all, his partner is not a practitioner like the little Taoist nun Xu Sheng is with now, but an ordinary mortal woman.
Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou actually didn't say anything special.
Time changes, things change and people change. What else can be said?
Just catching up on old times and asking each other about the current situation.
Finally, Xu Sheng took the little Taoist nun's hand and said goodbye to Cheng Shou.
"I really envy you."
Looking at Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun, the old Chengshou couldn't help but sigh: "Senior Brother Chengyuan."
Now after so many years, Xu Sheng is still so young!
This is enough to show that Xu Sheng has made extraordinary progress in cultivation over the years.
Although the tribulation has not come true, I am afraid that the number of Yang Shen souls has far exceeded that of the master Xuan Zhen.
These commitments can all be guessed.
Although Chengshou and his wife have been in love all their lives after returning to secular life.
The two people spent a happy mortal life together.
But now he is dying of old age after all.
No one is not afraid of death.
There is no one who does not desire life and youth.
Cheng Shou is no exception.
Seeing that Xu Sheng now not only has extraordinary cultivation and a long life, but also found a Taoist companion to fall in love with. She is also a beautiful female cultivator and is pregnant with Xu Sheng's child.
The happiness that ordinary people have, Xu Sheng has not fallen behind.
On the contrary, Xu Sheng also had health and longevity.
Especially now that Chengshou feels that he is about to die of old age.
In this state, he couldn't help but feel even more envious of Xu Sheng's youth.
You must know that Cheng Shou's talent back then was even better than Xu Sheng's!
It's a pity that he gave up halfway back then!
And he chose an ordinary woman for love!
Xu Sheng also heard Cheng Shou's regret at this time.
"Our happiness just comes at different times."
But Xu Sheng just smiled and said: "My child hasn't been born yet, and your granddaughter has already grown up. Junior brother, you are much happier than me."
Chengshou just smiled bitterly when he heard this.
Xu Sheng didn't say anything more, and then left with the little Taoist nun.
Then Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun went straight to Yunhu Temple.
I didn’t encounter any fairies or any news about genius treasures along the way.
Just like that, we returned to the Taoist Temple.
"Master, are you back?"
The person in charge of Yunhu Temple at this time is no longer the uncle who Xu Sheng handed over. Because that uncle also left Yunhu Temple and went to Yunyou. I don’t know where he is now.
The person who presides over Yunhu Temple now is a disciple that Xu Sheng took in when he went down the mountain one time.
But now, after so many years of absence, the little boy back then has grown into a young man.
"Ming Fang?"
Xu Sheng couldn't help but was stunned for a moment and said, "You are presiding over the Taoist temple now?"
The disciples he accepted were from the Ming generation.
The Taoist title Mingfang was given to him by Xu Sheng back then.
I hope that he can understand the direction of his life, know how to take the path of life at every stage, and will not fall into entanglement and confusion like Cheng Shou back then.
Of course Mingfang also saw the little Taoist nun at this time.
Xu Sheng didn't shy away from it either.
Just say it directly, call me Master.
Ming Fang was shocked.
Unexpectedly, Xu Sheng actually found a Taoist companion and she was pregnant.
Of course, he immediately respectfully called Master Ma.
Ming Fang also wanted to notify other Taoist disciples to come and pay homage to Xu Sheng.
But Xu Sheng waved his hand to stop him.
Just let everyone practice individually, there is no need for this.
What else did Mingfang want to say.
"Oh no!"
But unexpectedly, a young Taoist priest from outside rushed in and said: "Master of the temple."
Now that Xu Sheng has been away from the Taoist temple for many years, the new disciples in the Taoist temple no longer recognize Xu Sheng.
Therefore, the person who came to report said that the master of the temple was Ming Fang.
Of course, Mingfang immediately said that Xu Sheng was the real master of Yunhu Temple.
"It doesn't matter."
Ke Xu Sheng directly waved his hand and said: "Mingfang, I will pass on the position of the master of the temple to you now. If you have something to do, you can just handle it. I am no longer interested in dealing with the chores in the temple."
"Master, don't leave!"
But the young Taoist priest who came to report said: "This matter is extraordinary and involves the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism."
"What?"
The little Taoist nun and Xu Sheng both said in shock: "What's going on?"
You must know that the practitioners in this world are not immortal cultivators, but just cultivators.
The recovery of mana after consumption is very slow. Most practitioners avoid cause and effect, and only a few practitioners fight for various special reasons.
Although Taoism and Buddhism have always been in opposition, most of the time they practice separately. After all, they all know that fighting will result in both sides losing.
"A spiritual mine is born."
The young Taoist priest did not show off and said directly: "The reason why it appeared..."
Xu Sheng soon figured out the matter.
It turns out that a spiritual mine was discovered. The area it is located in belongs to the Taoist sect, but it was the Buddhists who discovered it first!
Therefore no one obeys anyone.
It even attracted the top leaders of Taoism and Buddhism to gather together.
However, the leaders of the two sects and the higher-ups did not directly fight over life or death.
After all, this will only lead to a dead end, and in the end no one will achieve enlightenment!
After negotiations, the two sects reached a consensus, which was to summon their respective disciples, and the disciples of each sect on both sides would fight.
In the end, the victory or defeat among the disciples will be used to decide which side the spiritual mine belongs to.
Therefore, news came from the Dao Sect General Temple, asking them, Yunhu Temple, to also send disciples to support them.
This kind of competition between disciples can determine the winner.
It will not affect the core of the two sects.
Both sides will definitely let the most talented disciples in the sect take action!
Although taking action will consume the disciple's mana, the background of the two sects is there.
Even if the genius disciple's mana is exhausted, he can still come up with some heavenly materials and earthly treasures so that the disciples who go out to fight can quickly recover their mana.
Even if the spirit mine can be obtained, the spirit stones in it can allow the disciple to quickly restore his mana.
After hearing this, both Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun's eyes lit up.
I immediately decided to go there myself.
They were looking for something that could nourish dragons and fire phoenixes.
The spiritual stones from such spiritual mines often have pure energy, and their effects are no worse than those of heavenly materials and earthly treasures such as spiritual fruits and spiritual grasses.
If you can get it, you can restore the dragon and the fire phoenix.
You can even use it for your own practice.
With Xu Sheng's current strength, let alone a genius disciple, it is estimated that none of the leaders of contemporary Buddhism can be his opponent.
But it was naturally impossible for Xu Sheng to exert all his power.
Otherwise, wouldn't the fact that 'Yunhu Guan Chengyuan' has a cultivation level of more than a hundred Yangshen souls be spread throughout the world's cultivation world?
When the fake Guanyin master hears it, she might guess that the one who intercepted her before was 'Chengyuan'!
Therefore, it is impossible for Xu Sheng to openly display all his strength.
But now that Xu Sheng's body still looks so young, there will be no problem if he fights as a 'Taoist genius disciple'.
If we can help Daomen win the spiritual mine, Daomen will definitely give a lot of the spiritual mine to Xu Sheng, who has made great contributions. But it may not be very much.
Anyway, Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun rushed over immediately.
On the way, they were also hesitating whether to take action as genius disciples or to wait for the spiritual mines to fall into the hands of Buddhism, then hide their identities and steal all the spiritual stones secretly.
The latter, of course, has the most to gain.
It just seems more selfish.
In the end, I didn’t think about it clearly, so I just stopped thinking about it.
Think about it until you get there, take it one step at a time, and just adapt to circumstances.
Soon Xu Sheng and the pregnant Taoist nun arrived at the gathering place where Taoist and Buddhist masters gathered.
It's in a valley.
On one side, bald monks, old and young, gathered, and on the other side, Taoist priests, old and young, gathered.
After arriving at the place, Xu Sheng also reported his Taoist number, and the little Taoist nun also reported the fake Taoist number that Ciyin got for her at Longquan Nunnery.
Many Taoist priests and monks were shocked when they saw Xu Sheng and the pregnant little Taoist nun.
Some people even shook their heads.
They felt that Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun were obsessed with lust and were not determined to follow the Tao, so they had no expectations for their cultivation.
