"My little friend, can you come to the main hall and talk for a while?"
Aotian walked into Tianlong Hall with doubts. He was shocked as soon as he entered the hall. He thought to himself: "I guess the palace hall is nothing more than this." Aotian looked at everything in the hall with surprised eyes.
There are nine dragon pillars, and the dragons on each dragon pillar are powerful, like living creatures. And these nine dragon pillars are all different, and each dragon presents a color, blue, yellow,
Cyan, orange, red, white, green, purple, black.
On top of the main hall, nine dragons are carved. The nine dragons are circling each other, and the nine dragon heads face the bottom of the main hall. Under the dragon heads is a large cauldron, with three dragon incense sticks stuck on it that have been burning for an unknown period of time.
Aotian looked up the main hall and found a Taoist priest with white hair and silky hair looking at him with a smile, and the young Taoist priest next to him also looked at him with a smile, as if he was sizing him up.
Similar.
"Taoist Master." Aotian bowed slightly and said respectfully.
"You don't have to be polite, little friend. I am Master Xuanzi. You can call me Master." Master Xuanzi held an armrest towards Aotian and helped Aotian up.
Regarding Master Xuanzi's exposed hand, Aotian's heart was as startled as the waves. He looked at Master Xuanzi with a surprised look on his face and found that he was still smiling at him as long as before. He was speechless for a long time.
Knowing Aotian's surprise, Master Xuanzi waved his sleeves and waved a gust of breeze to wake up the absent-minded Aotian. "Can you tell me your name, little friend?"
"Master, my surname is Aomingtian." Aotian said respectfully,
"Aotian? Aotian? Aotian Tianxia? Okay, okay, return your name." Master Xuanzi read Aotian's name twice and said three good words in a row. Aotian was extremely excited.
"Zhenren, are you an immortal?" Aotian asked Xuanzi anxiously.
"Oh? Why do you say we are immortals?" Master Xuanzi looked at Aotian with a funny look.
"Why did you just lift the kid up from the air? Isn't this the power of an immortal?" Aotian looked at Xuanzi in confusion.
"Haha. Is this the power of an immortal to support you from afar? Do you know there are immortals?" Xuanzi asked Aotian. Aotian shook his head in confusion, expressing his ignorance.
"Haha, actually there are immortals in this world, but immortals will not appear among us. And we are just cultivators, not immortals. In the eyes of mortals, we may be immortals." Master Xuanzi answered Aotian with a smile.
"Cultivation? Isn't that only written in novels? Are there really cultivators?" Aotian asked questioningly after hearing what Xuanzi said.
"Haha, you are wrong, a novel? So where did the first cultivation novel come from? The world doesn't know that there are cultivators, so where did the first one come from?" Master Xuanzi shook his head in a funny and angry way.
Look at Aotian.
"Yes, so where did the first one come from? Could it be... written by a cultivator?" Aotian lowered his head and muttered, and finally thought of the possibility, raised his head and looked at Xuanzi in surprise.
"Haha, yes, it was written by that cultivator." Master Xuanzi stroked his white beard, nodded and smiled.
"Then, Master, can I cultivate?" Aotian looked at Master Xuanzi anxiously, hoping that he could cultivate.
"Oh? You want to cultivate?" Master Xuanzi looked at Aotian intently.
"Yes, I want to cultivate, and I hope that Master Xuan will achieve it." Aotian nodded solemnly, looking at Master Xuanzi with a serious face, but he could see the fire in his eyes.
Cultivation? What is cultivation? It is to compete with heaven, go against heaven, steal a glimpse of the great road, achieve oneself, become an immortal, and live as long as heaven. The great road gives us a chance of eternal life, but it will definitely give us obstacles to success.
If a person rebels against heaven, he will be punished by heaven. If he survives the punishment, he will attain enlightenment. If he fails to survive, he will be wiped out and will not even have the chance to be reincarnated.
"Have you really thought it through?"
"Yes, I have thought it through."
"I ask you, why do you cultivate?" Master Xuanzi looked at Aotian indifferently.
"Why cultivate? Why do I cultivate?" After hearing what Master Xuanzi said, Aotian lowered his head and murmured to himself.
Aotian's performance from the time he entered the palace until now has been noticed by Master Xuanzi. Master Xuanzi nodded slightly while stroking his white beard.
Aotian thought about why he cultivated, and couldn't help but think of his parents, Chen Feng and Ziyue. His expression became firm.
"Why? For the sake of my relatives, my brothers, my lover, and for not being at the mercy of life and death." Aotian straightened his body, and a world-defying aura came out of him.
Master Xuanzi was slightly startled when he felt Aotian's aura, and was shocked in his heart: "What a boy, he can emit such momentum even before he has cultivated himself. This boy is destined to be extraordinary."
"Well, that's true, but once you cultivate, can you not be at the mercy of life and death?" Master Xuanzi looked at Aotian and asked.
"I think that after cultivating to the highest level, I will not be at the mercy of life and death. My destiny is not up to me but to God. If God wants me to live, I will defy heaven. If people want to kill me, I will kill people." Aotian's momentum has been soaring.
.
"Haha... Okay, so if God wants me to die, I will go against heaven, and if people want to kill me, I will kill people." Master Xuanzi nodded with satisfaction and laughed.
"However, I still can't accept you as my disciple." The laughter stopped and the voice of Master Xuanzi sounded again, and this voice deeply hurt Aotian's heart.
"No... you can't accept me as your disciple? Why... why? Master, may I ask why you can't accept me as your disciple?" At this time, Aotian dared to speak to Master Xuanzi like this entirely because of his world-defying aura.
Influenced.
"There is no reason, everything in the world is fate. I don't accept you as my disciple because you and I are not destined." Master Xuanzi said to Aotian indifferently. He was not angry at Aotian's disrespect for him.
"But..."
"Okay, there's nothing wrong with it. Just take this thing." Master Xuanzi interrupted Aotian's words, stretched out his hand and threw something to Aotian.
Although Aotian was confused, he still caught it. When he took it, he saw that it was a ring. The ring was different from other rings. This ring was as clear as white jade. It was as clear as gold and silver. As soon as he took it, he felt a refreshing feeling.
Aotian took the ring and looked at it for a while, then looked at Master Xuanzi with a puzzled expression, waiting for him to explain.
"This ring was given to me by a senior a thousand years ago. That senior told me to wait here for the destined person to pick it up. Now my mission is completed." Master Xuanzi looked at Ao with a look of relief.
sky.
"One, a thousand years ago? Master Xuanzi, you..." Aotian's face was full of surprise, and he looked at Master Xuanzi in disbelief.
"What? You're surprised? Haha, cultivators can live for tens of thousands of years as long as they break through the Nascent Soul stage, and I have also lived for tens of thousands of years." Master Xuanzi smiled at Aotian and explained.
As soon as Aotian heard Ten Thousand Years, his eyes began to shine, and then dimmed.
"Haha, I'll just call you Xiaotian, okay?" Xuanzi looked at Aotian kindly, as if waiting for Aotian's reply.
Aotian nodded.
"Haha, Tianyun, how long have you been my master?" Master Xuanzi turned to Tianyun and asked.
"Master, it's been nineteen years." Tianyun said respectfully.
"Well, it's been nineteen years. I brought you up since ###, and nineteen years have been like one day." Master Xuanzi said generously, looking at the sky.
Tianyun didn't speak, he knew that Master still had something to say to him.
"Tianyun, you can follow Aotian from now on." Master Xuanzi withdrew his gaze and looked at Aotian.
"What?"
"What?"
These two sentences were spoken by Aotian and Tianyun at the same time. Aotian looked at the real person Xuanzi in shock. Tianyun was the same, and asked in shock: "Master? Why?"
Master Xuanzi stretched out his white jade hand to touch Tianyun's head, glanced at Aotian, and said to Tianyun: "Master's life is over, and the ability to persist until now is all thanks to some senior. You don't have to do anything for it."
I feel sad for my teacher, Xiaotian is a blessed person, you will definitely achieve great things by following him, don’t let down your good intentions as a teacher."
After speaking to Tianyun, he turned to Aotian and said: "Xiaotian, I gave Tianyun to you, you don't have to say anything, listen to me, you put a drop of blood on that ring now. This is the one who
It’s what the senior left behind, and that’s why I don’t accept you as my disciple. If you have any questions, the senior said you’ll understand as long as you shed your blood and confess your master, you can figure it out yourself.”
"Master, my unfilial disciple has kowtowed to you." As he said this, Tianyun knelt down and kowtowed nine times with a "dong dong dong" sound. There was a bloody mark on his forehead.
"Silly boy, you should listen to Aotian more from now on. People in the outside world are sinister, so you should be more careful." Master Xuanzi touched Tianyun's forehead dotingly.
"Disciple, please keep this in mind and listen to Little Friend Aotian's words in the future." Who said cultivators have no emotions? Tianyun is now bursting with tears and can't even feel the pain on his forehead.
While Aotian and the others were talking, Chen Feng and others at the foot of the mountain were already looking for him like crazy. The five of them split up to look for Aotian. They still couldn't find him until sunset.
"Have you found Xiaoling?"
"Rongrong, have you found it?"
"Xiaoru, have you found it?"
"Yue'er, don't be anxious. Chen Feng is also looking for him. He and Aotian have been brothers for so many years. They should be able to find them. You calm down first and don't be anxious." Xiaoling, Rongrong, and Xiaoru all said to Zi.
Yue comforted.
"Brother Tian, Brother Tian, where are you? Yue'er is wrong, please come back." Ziyue sat on the carpet with her hands on her knees and cried.
"Chen Feng is back," Xiao Ling shouted to Ziyue.
Upon hearing that Chen Feng was back, Ziyue quickly stood up and looked at him, hoping that he would give Aotian news.
Chen Feng came to them and shook his head, then lowered his head and said nothing. He didn't want to see Zi Yue look so sad.
As a result, when Ziyue heard this, she couldn't hold on anymore. She was about to fall down, but Xiao Ling and others caught her and helped her sit on the carpet. After thinking about it, Chen Feng decided to ask what the reason was.
"Um, Ziyue, what's going on between you and Xiaotian? If you tell me, you can think of a solution. Although I'm familiar with Xiaotian, there are some things that I don't know the reasons for and it's hard to find out." Chen Feng came to Ziyue.
I sat down in front of him and asked, thinking about her.
"Yeah, yeah, tell me, what's going on." Xiao Ling and others also said, leaning on the side.
Ziyue looked at them like this and knew that it was impossible not to say anything. So she started from the novel until now when she meets Aotian.
"Hey, the world is full of troubles. No wonder he has always been taciturn before. I see. But since you love Aotian, why don't you agree to him?" Chen Feng said generously after hearing this.
Ziyue just shook her head and did not answer his words.
"Don't worry, Aotian should be fine. He will come back when he wants to. He is not a person who gives up easily." Chen Feng advised Ziyue.
"Xiaotian, I will hand over Tianyun to you. You have to take care of him. The world is dangerous. He has been following me in the mountains. I am not worried about entering the world for the first time." Master Xuanzi said to Aotian.
"Master, I will remember your great kindness in my heart. As for Brother Tianyun, you can rest assured that from now on, Brother Tianyun will be my biological brother." Aotian kowtowed to Master Xuanzi three times and promised.
.
"Well, that's good. After I leave, you can claim the ring's owner by dripping blood on it." After finishing speaking, Master Xuanzi sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. A golden light emanated from his body and gradually disappeared between Aotian and Ao Tian.
