Of course, the two of them immediately thought of Qiu Yuanzi.

"So our son can really cultivate immortality?"

The couple naturally mentioned Qiu Yuanzi to Xuanzhen.

Xuan Zhen was surprised at first, thinking that Xu Sheng already had another fellow Taoist who took him as a disciple.

However, it was learned that Qiu Yuanzi had not appeared since he left and had not accepted Xu Sheng as his disciple.

He no longer cared about it.

Afterwards, Xuan Zhen said that Xu Sheng had an extraordinary immortal root, and if he devoted himself to practicing Taoism, he would achieve something.

However, practicing Taoism requires one to become a monk and devote oneself to cultivation, which is a hardship that not everyone can endure.

It all depends on willingness.

He also knew that Yang Zhenwu and Xu Xinlan were reluctant to let their son become a Taoist priest.

But at this time Xu Sheng said that he wanted to be a Taoist priest and wanted to practice with the Taoist priest.

Yang Zhenwu and Xu Xinlan were both surprised. They didn't expect Xu Sheng himself to say this on his own initiative.

Originally, they were still struggling!

After all, it would be a great opportunity for my son to embark on the path to immortality.

But they really didn't want their son to become a monk.

Xuan Zhen also said with a little surprise that although Xu Sheng's body was small, his spiritual roots nourished his wisdom and spirit and he was much smarter than ordinary children.

He had not thought of the possibility of reincarnation through dissolution of the body. After all, very few people could succeed in this way.

In the end, Xuan Zhen gave a solution, which was that Xu Sheng should not become a monk first.

He could teach Xu Sheng some cultivation methods and let Xu Sheng practice at home first.

When Xu Sheng grows up a little, he will come again. If Xu Sheng still wants to practice Taoism, he will accept Xu Sheng as his disciple.

After all, the path of cultivation is full of difficulties and obstacles. If one's will is not strong enough, it is impossible to achieve enlightenment, so it is better not to cultivate.

Both Yang Zhenwu and Xu Xinlan agreed.

In this way, Xu Sheng will still stay with them, and the decision made after Xu Sheng grows up will seem relatively more reliable.

Afterwards, Xuan Zhen stayed at the Yang family for a few days. He taught Xu Sheng some methods used in his initial practice.

Xu Sheng was surprised to find that martial arts had not made any progress after a hundred years, but Taoist techniques seemed to have evolved a little compared to a hundred years ago.

Some of the visualization methods of Xuanzhen Sect seem to be more advanced than those collected by Xu Sheng a hundred years ago.

But if you think about it, it is understandable. After all, Taoism has been favored by the Daxu Dynasty over the past hundred years, and may have a better soil for development.

So it evolved a bit.

"Okay, that's all I'll teach you for now. You can't chew too much."

Tian Xuanzhen said goodbye: "Boy, you should practice well. Remember not to use your magic power to interfere in the secular world, so as not to be contaminated by karma. Five years is the deadline. After five years, I will come again. If you still want to practice Taoism by then, follow me to Yunhu Temple."

In this world, practitioners who become monks usually have to cut off all emotions and love, and naturally cannot marry and have children.

Even if ordinary people are able to practice cultivation, they are unwilling to do so.

I would rather be an ordinary person.

"Master, on the way back."

Xu Shengze also said respectfully: "Be careful."

"master?"

Xuan Zhen was surprised, smiled and shook his head and said: "You and I have not yet performed the master-disciple ceremony, so we can't be called master and disciple yet. When you grow up and want to practice, we can talk about it..."

"If you have the grace to teach, you will naturally become my teacher."

Xu Sheng added: "Once a teacher, always a father!"

Xuan Zhen was stunned for a moment, smiled and touched Xu Sheng's head, then turned and left.

“Woo woo woo.”

Chunhua suddenly appeared beside Xu Sheng. She looked at Xuanzhen's departing figure and said regretfully, "The Taoist priest must have been a handsome man when he was young. But why, why doesn't the Taoist priest have a son?"

"..."Xu Sheng was speechless.

After that, time continued to flow forward.

In the blink of an eye, another five years passed.

Xu Sheng is eight years old!

Before leaving, Xuan Zhen of course blocked the spiritual root aura of Xu Sheng, so no other practitioners came to him.

In the past five years, Xu Sheng has made great progress in his Taoist practice.

The third small realm has been completed, and the practice of the fourth small realm has begun.

Ever since Xuan Zhen explained it five years ago, Yang Zhenwu and Xu Xinlan no longer worried about Xu Sheng growing up slower than others.

But they have all aged a little in the past five years.

Of course they gave Xu Sheng a younger brother.

The maid Chunhua still wanted to get married. She met some men through a matchmaker, but none of them were a perfect match for her.

My younger sister Yang Caiying has grown up a lot.

He is much older than Xu Sheng now.

Xu Sheng has actually grown a bit in size, and he is almost the same size as his youngest brother who is three years old.

This day.

My sister Yang Caiying had a fight with the son of a new family at the end of the street!

After all, Yang Zhenwu ran a martial arts school, and Yang Caiying had been running around in the school since she was a child, so naturally she also started practicing martial arts.

And she has decent talent too.

This is why she did not become a quiet and gentle lady, but instead became a tomboy who loved to wield swords and sticks all day long.

But the son of the new family that moved in turned out to have quite good martial arts skills.

Yang Caiying was not her match.

"You stinky boy, how dare you bully me!"

After falling to the ground, Yang Caiying got up from the ground crying and shouted, "If you wait for my brother to come, you will be dead! My brother is so powerful!!"

"Your brother?"

The nine-year-old boy opposite was surprised: "So powerful? Where is he? Let him come out!"

He also said proudly: "From childhood to adulthood, I have never lost to people of my age in martial arts competitions!"

At this time, Xu Sheng walked over slowly.

"Brother!" Yang Caiying yelled and rushed to Xu Sheng, "He bullied me!"

"Brother?" The little boy opposite was dumbfounded: "He is your brother? Hahaha, are you sure he is not your younger brother? Your brother turned out to be a dwarf!"

Bang!

Of course his laughter soon came to an abrupt end.

Because he had been kicked away by Xu Sheng.

A few minutes later.

"impossible!"

The boy's face was already bruised and swollen. He looked at the little Xu Sheng in disbelief and said, "How can you be so strong!"

Of course, it was effortless for Xu Sheng to deal with this little boy.

"Huh! I said my brother is awesome, right?"

Yang Caiying put her hands on her hips and raised her chin, saying, "My brother is not a dwarf, he is a genius! A genius that you cannot understand!"

Since Xuan Zhen instructed that the fact that Xu Sheng had spiritual roots must not be disclosed, the Yang family did not spread the reason for Xu Sheng's slow growth.

Even though many people have been laughing behind the Yang family's back, saying that the son of the Yang family seems to never grow up.

After saying that, Yang Caiying held Xu Sheng's hand, just like a sister holding her brother's hand: "I'm not going to care about you, brother, let's go home!"

After a while, they returned home.

I heard crying before I even entered the house.

"I want to eat candied haws. I don't care. I just want to eat candied haws..." A boy about the same age as Xu Sheng sat on the ground in the hall and cried.

"Yang Yunteng, what are you doing again?" However, as Xu Sheng and Yang Caiying walked in, Yang Caiying frowned. She only said one sentence, and the little boy stopped crying and stood up from the ground with some fear.

That's right, he was controlled by Yang Caiying.

Xu Sheng looked at the scene at home and smiled.

Of course there is still some reluctance.

Because Xuan Zhen had occasionally passed by in the past few years and had come to see how Xu Sheng's cultivation progress was.

When he heard that Xu Sheng's martial arts skills were actually quite good, he advised Xu Sheng not to spend too much time on martial arts.

I don’t know that Xu Sheng has hardly practiced martial arts in these years, and his current martial arts skills are inherited from his previous life.

And three days ago, Xuan Zhen came again.

Now that the five-year period has arrived, Xuanzhen said that after he has dealt with some trivial matters, he will come to pick up Xu Sheng to become a monk in the Taoist temple.

So Xu Sheng said goodbye to his family that night.

He said he wanted to become a monk and practice Buddhism!

Although Yang Zhenwu and Xu Xinlan were reluctant to let go, they had investigated the Yunhu Temple where Xuan Zhen was located over the years and knew that it was a reliable and orthodox Taoist temple.

Therefore, when they saw Xu Sheng, who had lived for eight years, make this decision, they did not stop him.

Before leaving, Xu Sheng also spent some time teaching Yang Caiying some martial arts.

I also played games with my younger brother who was still ignorant.

He was also reluctant in his heart.

But he also knew that to practice Buddhism one had to become a monk.

The troubles caused to parents by previous physical growth problems were just one of the inconveniences.

If I stay any longer, not to mention all the other troubles, when he grows up, he will definitely be urged to get married.

If you don't get married, people around you will look at you strangely. Even if you don't take it seriously, your parents and family will definitely feel bad.

In short, all of these are unfavorable environmental factors for spiritual practice.

I should take advantage of the fact that there are not many karmas on my body now, and only these few family members are entangled with me in karmas.

Nowadays, it is best to become a monk directly.

A short pain is worse than a long one!

If I stayed longer, grew up a little more, made more friends, or even had some emotional entanglement with a woman, it would be even more difficult to concentrate on practicing Taoism.

Even if you don't want to flirt with girls, what if a girl has a deep affection for you?

By that time, it will be difficult to betray the deep love, and it will not only hurt others but yourself.

It will also become a psychological burden, affecting your state of mind for future spiritual practice.

So Xu Sheng was determined to become a monk now.

This day.

Xuanzhen, with a head full of white hair, finished his work.

He came to pick up Xu Sheng wearing a Taoist robe.

When Yang Caiying saw this, her nose turned red from crying.

"If you practice as I taught you for a period of time, that guy won't be your match." Seeing this, Xu Sheng smiled and said to Yang Caiying.

"Brother, I can't bear to leave you." But Yang Caiying still said with her lips pursed and sobbed.

"Brother, where are you going to play, can you take me with you? I want to go too!" The ignorant younger brother looked at Xu Sheng expectantly.

"You should listen to your sister at home from now on, okay?" Xu Sheng just touched his head.

"Master, do you really want to be a Taoist priest? You can't marry and have children after becoming a Taoist priest!" Chunhua's eyes were red, and she said, "You must think it over carefully! With a look like you, Master, it will be easy for you to find a wife when you grow up!"

Chunhua has been on many blind dates over the years and now has a clear understanding of the blind date market.

"Sister Chunhua." Xu Sheng said, "Don't be too demanding. Good character is the most important thing. Don't always think about handsome men. When you cover your head and turn off the lights, all men are the same."

“……” Chunhua widened her fat eyes.

Finally, the only ones left were Yang Zhenwu and Xu Xinlan, who also had red eyes.

"Dad, Mom."

Xu Sheng knelt down and kowtowed to them, saying, "Please forgive me for being unfilial and not being able to carry on the Yang family's bloodline."

Although Xu Sheng has a very yang body, if he really wants to get married at that time, it is possible.

It won’t greatly affect your practice like others.

But Xu Sheng never told anyone the secret of his extremely yang body, including Xuan Zhen.

Naturally, the parents don’t know either.

Over the years, Yang Zhenwu and Xu Xinlan have also learned a lot about Taoist priests.

Now, in their view, Taoists must cut off all emotions and love and stay away from women.

"It's okay, go ahead."

Yang Zhenwu sighed and said, "Practice well. It would be great if our family could produce an immortal cultivator."

"The Taoist priest said that you practitioners of Taoism emphasize cutting off karma and not being involved in the secular world! You, you... just come over when we are dying."

Xu Xinlan also said with tears in her eyes: "I hope that by then, mother can see that you have achieved success in cultivation... and see that you are still a young man in the prime of life."

Xu Sheng nodded and hugged them.

"You must be well!"

Finally, Xu Sheng's eyes swept over the people in front of him whom he cared about in this life, and with tears in his eyes, he condensed thousands of words into this sentence.

Then he left with Xuanzhen.

Trek all the way.

We came to a Taoist temple called Yunhu Temple on Yunhu Mountain.
