Chapter 72 The Taoist Priest Accepts a Disciple and Reveals the Truth
"Greetings to the Master."
All the disciples bowed in unison, their momentum as high as a rainbow.
This was also the first time that Su Zhongguo formally entered the gate of Taixu Temple.
"rise."
Following the sound of "rise", all the disciples stood up one by one and looked at the outsiders with curious eyes.
When they saw who was coming, four small figures became very excited.
Su Wu: "Brother, it's dad. Dad is here to see us." It has been almost two years since they came up the mountain, and this is the first time they have seen their dad come to see them.
Su Jie: "Brother, is the one walking with Dad our little sister?"
Li Peng: "Of course she does. She looks like my aunt."
How could the voices of the four people be hidden from Taoist Master Renkong?
However, this is not the time to reveal their identities.
Entering the main hall, Taoist Master Renkong took Su Zhongguo and his daughter to burn incense to the Three Pure Ones.
Only after the ceremony was over did all the disciples disperse.
Naturally, Su Wen and the other three were left behind.
"father."
"Uncle."
Without outsiders around, the four of them relaxed a lot and immediately started shouting.
Su Jiani's eyes were red and her face was wet.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, cousin Peng."
She called out everyone's name one by one. Su Zhongguo was not surprised, and the Taoist priest was not surprised either, but the four children were surprised.
"Yes, sister. I am the third brother."
"Sister, I'm the second brother."
"Sister, I'm your cousin."
"Sister, I'm the eldest brother."
Seeing how enthusiastic the brothers and sisters were, Su Zhongguo and the Taoist priest made room for them to gather together.
In the side room, the Taoist priest expressed his feelings to Su Zhongguo: "She has a connection with my Taoist family. I want to take her in as my disciple."
Su Zhongguo never expected that the Taoist priest would have such an idea. This was something he had not thought about before he came.
"You have to ask Jiani about this. You know, Jiani has been sensible since she was young." Su Zhongguo felt a little embarrassed.
What he didn't say was that he couldn't be the master of his daughter.
The Taoist priest didn't seem surprised. "Just telling you this first, I'll ask her in person later. She's not only the lifeblood of your family, but also the lifeblood of our cultivation."
There are some things he can't say too much about, just try his best.
"What do you mean?" Su Zhongguo became interested. Of course, he was more worried. After all, his daughter was his own and he didn't want her to bear too much at such a young age.
"Will it hurt her?"
The Taoist priest smiled but said nothing. After a long time, he sighed softly and said a few words.
Su Zhongguo was confused by what he heard. "I just hope she's safe and sound, and I don't want her to have too much burden."
As a father, I don’t ask my children to be successful, I just hope they can live a worry-free life.
The Taoist priest naturally understood his thoughts and would not force him.
"I understand. I won't make things difficult for her." Forcing something doesn't necessarily lead to a good outcome.
The other side.
Su Jiani was surrounded by her four brothers and was being questioned.
"Sister, how did you recognize us?" Su Wu was very curious. When they left home, his sister was still a baby in swaddling clothes. She didn't even recognize people, so how could she recognize them at a glance?
At this moment, the three brothers seemed to have forgotten that they could hear their sister's thoughts.
After being here for so long, Su Jiani has had little mental activity, so it is impossible for them to recall this matter.
"What's so difficult about this? I can just recognize it." Su Jiani looked proud and had a cunning look in her eyes.
How could I not recognize you? We lived together for so long in our previous life, even if you turned into ashes, I would still recognize you, okay? Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother.
Well, as soon as these thoughts came out, the three brothers were shocked and immediately recalled the scene when their sister was just born.
They were very curious at that time, but their parents repeatedly warned them not to tell anyone about their sister's strange behavior.
Later, in order to prevent them from letting the secret slip, they were not allowed to meet when their sister was awake.
When I miss my sister, I can only go to see her after she goes to sleep.
As the eldest brother, Su Wen covered his third brother's mouth immediately.
The third brother is the youngest here and has the most loose mouth. In order to prevent him from saying something he shouldn't, we have to cover his mouth.
"Sister is the smartest. Of course she can recognize us, right, third brother?" Su Wen stared at his third brother with a threatening look.
Su Wu was even more astute, and he also understood the implication of his elder brother's words.
Yes, they can hear their sister’s thoughts. Her sister is a fairy who has descended to earth. So why is it strange that she recognizes them?
"Brother, please let go. Xiaojie won't be able to breathe if you don't." Li Peng looked at Xiaojie, whose face turned red from holding his breath, and immediately stepped forward to pull away his brother's hand.
Su Wen looked at his third brother, and when he saw him nod, he let go of his hand.
After taking a moment to catch his breath, Su Jie looked at his elder brother with resentment. He was younger but not stupid, so how could he possibly hurt his fairy sister?
"Brother, what are you doing?" Su Jiani looked at her eldest brother in confusion, "Third brother didn't say anything, why are you covering his mouth?"
Su Wen touched the top of his head awkwardly. "Well, I'm afraid that my third brother might upset you. Sister, how long will you and Dad stay this time?"
Good change of subject.
"I don't know. Dad only said he would bring me here to meet my brothers, but he didn't say when I would go back." The scenery here is so beautiful, she wants to stay longer.
Also, she found a lot of red and purple gems here, and even a lot of gold gems, so she had to stock up on some.
"Oh, so, sister, let us take you to visit Taixu Temple. We usually practice martial arts in the back mountain." Su Wu understood his elder brother's intention, so he came up with an idea.
"OK."
Su Jiani was of course willing. Her brothers' lives had changed. When they had mastered their training, they would have a certain ability to protect themselves when they met Su Jiayi again.
In this life, she would never let Su Jiayi hurt her brothers even if she tried her best.
Several kids were walking side by side. When they saw their fellow apprentices, some stopped to greet them, and some stopped to ask about Su Jiani's background. Anyway, everyone was very friendly.
Naturally, Su Jiani also received many greeting gifts from people in the Taoist temple.
There's no way. There haven't been any new people on the mountain for a long time, and these old people have long been bored.
After walking around in circles, Su Jiani was taken to the yard where her brothers lived.
The Taoist priest was playing chess with Su Zhongguo, and Su Jiani trotted over.
After taking a look, hmm, it was something she didn't know how to do.
"Dad, you can play chess, can you teach me?" She looked very impressive, and she wanted to learn it to show off.
Su Zhongguo put down the chess piece in his hand and picked up his daughter. "Sure, as long as you want to learn, Dad will teach you."
He is just a half-baked person, but he can still pretend to be good in front of his daughter.
The Taoist priest standing by couldn't stand it any longer. "You're such a lousy chess player, yet you're still teaching others? Don't ruin them." As he said that, he turned his gaze to Su Jiani. "Little girl, would you like to learn from me?"
"I'm much better than your father. I can not only play chess, but also other things. Do you want to learn?"
This abduction look really detracts from his godly demeanor.
Su Jiani didn't think much about it. After all, it would be fine for her to learn some skills while staying here. "Okay." So she agreed without thinking.
The two-word answer made Taoist Master Renkong almost cry for joy. There was no other way. It was too difficult to get the approval of Fu Nu.
"If that's the case, then I will accept you as my last disciple, and in three days I will open the ancestral temple to perform the ceremony of apprenticeship."
After the joy came the excitement. The Taoist priest immediately decided to become his disciple.
Su Jiani was confused.
Becoming a disciple and teaching are two different things. She is young, not stupid.
She looked at her father with resentment, "Dad, did you sell me out?" Although she envied the immortal Taoist's abilities, she never thought of leaving her parents.
If people like them became apprentices, they would definitely have to stay in the mountains, but this was not the reason for her to come back to life.
"No, no, don't think about it." Su Zhongguo saw the tears welling up in his daughter's eyes and immediately explained.
"It's like this. The Taoist priest wants to take you in as his disciple. He thinks you have great talent and wants you to practice. If you don't want to, Dad won't force you."
Afraid that she would cry, I quickly persuaded her to give up her decision.
Su Jiani also understood after hearing this.
I'm afraid that my abnormality has been seen through by the immortal Taoist priest.
But so what.
She is not afraid.
In her new life, she has only one goal, which is to protect her family.
When the Taoist saw that Jiani was so reluctant to become her disciple, he thought about it and understood.
"Zhongguo, how about you take the kids out for a walk while I talk to Jiani?"
Su Zhongguo looked at his daughter in his arms and felt a little sad. It was his family members who had delayed her.
"good."
He gently put his daughter down and said, "Jiani, be good. The Taoist priest is a good man and he won't hurt you." After coaxing his daughter, he took the four children out of the yard.
Outside the yard, Su Wen was very worried about his sister, who was about to cry just now.
"Dad." He called out worriedly.
Su Zhongguo patted his head and said, "Don't worry, your master won't hurt your sister."
My eldest son is eight years old and understands everything he should understand. I know what he is worried about.
Just as Su Zhongguo thought.
In the courtyard, the Taoist priest explained Su Jiani's origins.
"In your new life, you have your guardian, but have you ever thought about whether you can protect your family with your current strength?" If it was an ordinary matter, he would not force it, but when it came to the evil spirit, he did not want Fu Nu to be harmed.
"Since the Taoist priest knows me, he must understand that although I cannot get rid of Su Jiayi with my current ability, she can't expect to get anything good from me."
"I don't ask for anything else, I just hope my family is safe. I will definitely deal with those people in the Su family when I grow up."
"I will make them pay back tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold for the pain they inflicted on my loved ones." Su Jiani said the last sentence with murderous intent.
Death is too easy for them.
She wanted to make their lives worse than death.
Don't talk to her about blood relationship. Those people in her previous life didn't treat her family as relatives.
Just for this reason, she will not give up on revenge.
But now she is young and cannot defeat Su Jiayi, the time traveler and the system. Fortunately, her rebirth has changed the fate of her family.
When she faced Su Jiayi again, she had a chance of winning.
Even if not, she wouldn't mind dragging her to death with her.
Without that scourge, her family would be safe.
Seeing her being so extreme, the Taoist priest frowned, thinking that a blessed girl shouldn't be like this.
"I understand your feelings, but have you ever thought about your family? Would they be willing for you to do this?"
The Taoist priest didn't want to persuade her to be good, he just wanted her to have more ability to protect herself.
"Can you tell me about that person's origin?" The Taoist priest didn't know much about evil spirits. Since she was a person who came back from the past, she naturally knew the origin of the evil spirit.
Su Jiani did not hide anything. She knew the ability of the person in front of her, so it was okay for her to tell him.
So she told Su Jiayi everything about her soul from another world and the system.
She was not afraid that the Taoist priest would have bad intentions towards her. She had a treasure that her grandfather gave her one day. The first time he hurt her, she could take her father and brothers into the space.
She would not use the space for external use unless it was absolutely necessary.
What Su Jiani didn't know was that because of her inner voice, the space was no longer a secret, but her parents had helped her to get rid of this matter and didn't mention it to anyone.
What's worse is that Su Zhongguo also asked the Taoist priest to block Su Jiani's voice.
As his daughter grows older, she will have more and more secrets, and he doesn't want to cause any harm to her because of himself and his family.
Unfortunately, I’m afraid the Taoist priest cannot do it.
"So, she is from another world. Not only that, she also has something called a system. Can the system absorb the luck of others?" This is similar to what he had investigated.
But he didn't find the system, but found the evil spirit.
It is possible that the system she was talking about was an evil spirit, but she just couldn't tell it apart.
"Can you tell me about your past life?" Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
To deal with evil spirits, you also need to know more about them.
Of course Su Jiani agreed, so she told what happened between her and her family in her previous life.
As she spoke, Su Jiani began to feel resentful.
The Taoist priest quickly drew talismans in the air to help her calm her mind.
"It seems that the so-called system can only absorb luck through Su Jiayi, and it cannot absorb it from anyone." The Taoist priest said slowly after calming her mind.
Su Jiani was confused and told the truth, "I don't know."
The Taoist priest explained it to her, "Look, first it was your brothers, then you, and then your parents. Although something happened around your family, it's actually more or less related to you."
Listening to the Taoist priest's explanation, Su Jiani also understood, "The Taoist priest means that as long as we have nothing to do with her, she will not be able to absorb our luck."
Luck is an ethereal thing, but its existence cannot be denied.
"Yes, it starts with kinship. I think after you leave, the system will start to spread to the surrounding areas through Su Jiayi, such as her future partner, or her future children, and then her partner's relatives, and so on."
Su Jiani felt cold all over. If it was really as the Taoist said, and if Su Jiayi was given enough time, wouldn't the whole world be her luck extractor?
"Master, is there any way to destroy the system?" She felt that the scary thing was not Su Jiayi's otherworldly soul, but the system.
A system that absorbs other people's luck is not a good thing at first glance.
"I can't do it, but." The Taoist priest looked at Su Jiani with a smile, "You will definitely be able to do it in the future."
All things are interdependent and mutually exclusive. Since she can be reborn, God must have a different arrangement for her.
"Me?" Su Jiani pointed at herself with her small finger. "What can I do?" She shook her head and smiled bitterly.
If she could, she wouldn't have died tragically in her previous life.
"Learn Taoism from me. You will have to fight with that soul from another world. If you don't have certain means, you will end up with the same fate no matter how many times you reincarnate." He was not exaggerating, but stating a fact.
Su Jiani was silent.
After a while, she said, "I don't want to leave my parents." She was worried that while she was learning here, Su Jiani would be outside dealing with his parents.
The Taoist priest did not try to persuade her to stay on the mountain. "Okay, I will go down the mountain with you until you have learned enough."
If the mountain is not me, I will be the mountain.
Upon hearing this, Su Jiani was happy.
After staying in the mountains for five or six days, Su Zhongguo and Su Jiani planned to go back.
There are so many things to do at home, I really can't afford to delay.
Staying away is not just about escaping, it is more about accumulating strength.
