Fifty-three years ago, a sensational cat demon case occurred in Chang'an City.

At that time, the Buddhist and Taoist families were dormant, and evil spirits were everywhere inside and outside the court. Countless demons wanted to take the opportunity to sneak into Chang'an and cause trouble to humanity.

It was at this time that Yue Yangzi went up and down the mountain to clear his master's name.

In Yue Yangzi's view, his master is the first person in the world, and the Chunyang concept should also be the first Taoist concept.

Of course, although Yue Yangzi had ambitions, he was not completely carried away by his ambitions.

On the contrary, as the senior sister of Chunyang Temple and the closed disciple who has been practicing with Zhongli Quan for the longest time, Yue Yangzi is one of the best in terms of strength and brains.

So when he went to Chang'an, Yue Yangzi did not go with his true identity, but disguised himself as a man and changed his name to Xuan Xuzi and sneaked into the court quietly.

No one would doubt Yue Yangzi's identity, just like no one would doubt that a Taoist practitioner who was proficient in pure Yang magical powers was actually a woman.

Use your own strength to thoroughly investigate the truth, and avoid evil wherever you go...

It only took a short time for Yue Yangzi to become famous in Kyoto and became a well-known "Great Master" both inside and outside Chang'an.

Just when Yue Yangzi thought he could use the Cat Demon Case as a springboard to revive the reputation of Chunyang Temple, an accident happened.

Because Yue Yangzi discovered at the end of his investigation that the so-called "cat demon case" did not exist at all.

Or to be more precise, the cat demon that made the whole Kyoto uproar was just a puppet thrown by the mastermind to attract everyone's attention.

All this can be traced back to the imperial concubine who was promiscuous and promiscuous in the harem.

In order to conceal the fact that she had an affair with the guards and eunuchs, the then imperial concubine fabricated the so-called cat monster incident and blamed the monster for all the abnormalities that occurred in the palace.

If we look at it according to normal circumstances, the imperial concubine's attempt to shirk the blame was actually very successful.

Including the monks supported by the imperial court at that time, almost everyone believed that everything that happened in the palace was caused by the cat demon.

The few wise men who saw through the truth did not dare to reveal the fact that she had cuckolded the emperor several times under the pressure of the imperial concubine.

However, the imperial concubine never expected that a powerful fool like Yue Yangzi would show up when things came to a close.

In desperation, the imperial concubine, aware of the crisis, decided to strike first, severely injuring Yue Yangzi before he could react.

Although he has lived for more than two hundred years, Yue Yangzi has always lived under the protection of Zhong Liquan, and he did not expect the dirty and deep meaning behind it.

It was not until Yue Yangzi was severely injured in a sneak attack that he hid in Chang'an for a long time that he gradually figured out the whole story.

It was under such circumstances that Xu Shouxin, a government official in Wannian County and a well-known good man in Chang'an City, met Yue Yangzi.

"Xu Shouxin?"

After muttering in a deep voice, Zhong Liquan realized that he seemed to have really neglected Yue Yangzi.

Before today, he had never realized Yue Yangzi's true thoughts, and he had never thought that the other party actually had such a life and death experience.

Yes, even though Yue Yangzi had consciously skipped some details, it was still not difficult for Zhong Liquan to imagine the dangerous situation that the other party would be in when he faced a powerful enemy alone.

Being able to participate in the palace struggle and severely inflict heavy damage on Yue Yangzi at that time...

The besiegers who participated in the sneak attack at that time were at least practitioners who had reached the level of Yuan Shen Dharma.

"Yes, his name is Xu Shouxin, a kind-hearted guy who is a bit stupid."

Unintentionally grinning, Yue Yangzi seemed to see the man who rescued him home in the rain, and then ran into the city to ask for medicine in the middle of the night.

If we say that Yue Yangzi's innocence is because he has never seen the dangers of human nature.

So Xu Shouxin's kindness is because he has seen too many evil people's hearts, and he wants to do his best to retain some kindness in this world full of malice.

Even if this kindness is so trivial, there is still fire left after all.

To be honest, Yue Yangzi felt that this person was a bit too idealistic at first and was out of tune with the secular world.

However, during the time when he was recuperating and resting, Yue Yangzi gradually discovered that it was not that the other party was too idealistic, but that the world was too worldly.

There is no shortage of people who are driven by interests in this world, but there is also no shortage of people who strive for ideals.

Xu Shouxin is such a person. He does not expect to be able to change the world. He just does what he feels is right within the scope of his abilities.

"He always said survival is just the most basic instinct."

"But the reason why humans are human beings and not pure beasts is because humans can pursue something more noble besides survival."

"What he pursues is to be kind to others and help others within his own ability."

When he said this, Yue Yangzi paused briefly, and his expression became a little sad.

"I once told him that there is no room for such pure people in this world. Sooner or later, he will pay the price for some of his actions."

"But he told me that this is the reason why he has never married and had children."

"He clearly knows the dangers of the world, and he also knows that one day he will not end well, so he doesn't want his family to suffer with him."

It was also after that conversation that Yue Yangzi realized that Xu Shouxin, like himself, was an orphan who grew up eating the food of hundreds of families.

The only difference is that Yue Yangzi met Zhong Liquan and escaped from that precarious life before he completely fell.

Xu Shouxin, on the other hand, has been struggling at the bottom of society, and then grew up little by little, becoming a government servant who deals with crime all year round.

Although he is used to seeing the dangers in the world, he still never forgets his original intention and good intentions.

Even though he was a land god like Zhong Liquan, after listening to Yue Yangzi's description of Xu Shouxin, he couldn't help but feel a little admiration.

Even excluding Yue Yangzi's own filter blessing, it is very rare for a mortal to live so transparently.

"If this Xu Shouxin can enter Taoism, he will definitely achieve extraordinary things."

What Zhong Liquan said was not an exaggeration, but rather a fact.

Cultivating the Tao means cultivating the mind. This is an eternal truth since ancient times.

Xu Shouxin knows what he wants and firmly implements what he wants.

In this aspect alone, he has surpassed more than 90% of the practitioners in the world.

"Have you ever gone to see Xu Shouxin again since we said goodbye that year?"
