"He's just a little brat, why should we talk to him?"
The burly man sneered, his eyes showed a bit of murderous intent, and he was about to attack the young child.
At this moment, the air suddenly became stagnant, and the three of them felt a huge wave of terror surge into their hearts, making it difficult for them to move at all.
A figure dressed in white as snow stepped forward, and he fell into the courtyard, like a banished immortal descending from the dust, unable to be found.
Chen Nianzhi fell into the courtyard, first glanced at the old man's body, then at the young child who was no more than five years old, and then looked at the three of them.
He instantly understood the cause and effect. The old man was the old monk who led him that day.
This man is still running around at the end of his life, just to accumulate some knowledge for his grandson, and he is lucky enough to be rewarded by Chen Nianzhi.
It was just that they were targeted after they got the spirit stones. These three people were their neighbors. They coveted the spirit stones in their hands, so they bullied them, the old and the young, and killed the old monk.
"Eating too much?"
Chen Nianzhi's eyes were cold, and a trace of anger flashed in his heart.
The old man's disciples and children all died in the battle, and he can be considered a hero. It was unexpected that he would end up like this.
If he hadn't accidentally sensed it, I'm afraid the young boy would have been secretly attacked by these three people, and they would have been completely killed here.
"Deserves to be killed."
With this thought, Chen Nianzhi waved his sleeves and beat the three of them into ashes.
After killing three people, he looked at the old man's bones and murmured to himself: "Did I make a mistake by giving him the spiritual stone?"
"It's not you who's wrong."
Jiang Linglong stepped over and said comfortingly: "The world itself is so cruel, and the relationship between monks is actually the law of the jungle."
"Monks with families and sects as their backers can still have someone to take care of them in their old age, but for casual cultivators, how many can live to a good death?"
Chen Nianzhi listened quietly, knowing in his heart
This is reality.
Even if it is the True Monarch of Nascent Soul, if he cannot train disciples to take over the inheritance, after he is enthroned, the spiritual veins and treasures left behind will become a source of trouble for future generations.
If a monk wants to protect his descendants, he must make arrangements for his funeral before his death, and give most of his treasures to friends and old friends, in exchange for others to protect his descendants.
After suppressing his thoughts, Chen Nianzhi looked at the young child, and his eyes were indeed slightly startled.
"What a talent!"
"Is he an immortal?"
The young boy's heart was shocked. He saw the white-clothed immortal coming through the air, and with a flick of his sleeves, all three enemies were wiped out. This seemed to him to be a divine method.
Seeing the banished immortal approaching, he finally reacted and quickly knelt down in the tunnel and said: "Thank you, immortal, for avenging me. I thank you, immortal!"
"No need to be polite."
Chen Nianzhi looked calm, looked at her carefully a few more times, and then said, "What's your name?"
The young boy was stunned for a moment, and said somewhat at a loss: "My name is Ye Qingfeng. Grandpa said he hoped that I would be like the three-foot Qingfeng sword, with a proud character that would rather break than bend."
"Ye Qingfeng, what a good name."
Chen Nianzhi shouted, nodded, and continued to ask: "Do you still have any relatives?"
Hearing this, Ye Qingfeng raised his little face and said, "I still have my parents. Grandpa said that my parents have gone to a far away place. They are great heroes who slay demons."
"Whenever the human race returns to the distant sea, my parents will come back to see me."
"Far sea..."
Chen Nianzhi's eyes trembled slightly, and he stood up and said, "Then you will follow me from now on until your parents come back to find you."
"Follow the fairy
people……"
The young child looked slightly stunned. Remembering his grandfather's instructions, he fell to the ground with a feeling of happiness: "Disciple Ye Qingfeng, pay your respects to the master."
Unexpectedly, Chen Nianzhi did not refuse.
He looked at Ye Qingfeng with his hands behind his back and said calmly: "If you want to become my master, as my disciple, you must understand one thing."
"In one's life, one does not have to kneel to heaven and earth, one does not have to worship immortals and demons, one does not have to respect power, but one must know how to be grateful."
"I lead you into the Tao, which is the gift of enlightenment. You need to kowtow and worship three times!"
"Disciple understands!"
Ye Qingfeng prostrated himself, kowtowed three times, and performed the apprenticeship ceremony before saying: "Grandpa told me that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water, and the kindness of enlightenment must be repaid with tears of blood."
"This disciple pays homage to his master today. I should remember my master's teachings."
Only then did Chen Nianzhi smile. Although Ye Qingfeng was young, he inherited Old Man Ye's family style and had a good upbringing.
Thinking of this, he said with some fondness: "Today you kowtow to me three times and form a master-disciple bond with me. You are the first disciple of my sect."
"I feel like you know that my teacher's name is Chen Nianzhi, his honorary title is Guixu Taoist, and he is the lord of the Chen Kingdom in Jizhou in the Eastern Territory."
"Disciple understands." Ye Qingfeng bowed again.
Chen Nianzhi helped him up and then said: "I came from the wilderness of the Eastern Region as my teacher. You can travel with me around the world and return to Chen Kingdom together in the future."
Practitioners keep everything simple. The two of them helped Ye Qingfeng dispose of his grandfather's bones, and then took him back to the cave.
After Ye Qingfeng was placed, Jiang Linglong smiled and said: "This child has a pure Yang Tao body, which is one of the best Tao bodies. He also has the qualifications of five spiritual roots. He is indeed suitable for inheriting your Taoism."
Chen Nianzhi
He nodded, not knowing whether it was Ye Qingfeng's amazing luck or Chen Nianzhi's great luck that allowed him to meet such a suitable Taoist successor.
Ye Qingfeng is only five years old this year, and his pure Yang Tao body has not yet been revealed, and ordinary monks cannot detect his Tao body at all.
That is to say, Chen Nian's spiritual consciousness is not weaker than that of Zhenjun, so he can detect the pure Yang Dao body hidden deeply in his body.
If it were a few years later, if Ye Qingfeng was still alive, when the Pure Yang Dao body gradually revealed, then it is estimated that Jiuchuan Zhenjun would be alarmed and accept him as a closed disciple.
Because there are three, six, and nine levels of Taoism, ordinary Taoism can only promote one natal spiritual treasure at most, while intermediate Taoism can promote two or three natal spiritual treasures in the golden elixir realm.
As for a superior Tao body such as the Pure Yang Tao Body, even in the late Nascent Soul stage, through the feedback of the Tao body, one can be promoted to the legendary Pure Yang Treasure in advance.
This point can be regarded as crucial, because if the Yuanying monk has a natal pure Yang treasure, then the certainty of breaking through the Yuanshen will be greatly increased.
If Ye Qingfeng's Pure Yang Dao Body and Five Spiritual Roots' talents are properly cultivated, then there is great hope of breaking through to the Yuan Shen Dao Lord, and there is no doubt that he will have some hope of becoming an immortal in the future.
The main reason why Chen Nianzhi has not accepted any disciples over the years is because he cannot find a suitable successor.
Because disciples who invest too much emotion and energy in cultivating will most likely die early, which will make people feel extremely sad.
For a monk like him who aspires to become an immortal, it actually doesn't matter whether he accepts disciples or not. Accepting direct disciples will consume a lot of resources to cultivate them.
Becoming an immortal is extremely difficult, and cultivating direct disciples consumes a lot of resources, which may lower the monk's hope of becoming an immortal.
But even so, after meeting Ye Qingfeng, he decided to accept him as his founding disciple and the successor of his Taoism.
