Chapter 122 Realm



Finally he became a monk and came to the Taoist temple.

At this moment Xu Sheng also sorted out his thoughts.

Of course, his goal in this life is to achieve success in spiritual practice!

Then find a way to get rid of the fake Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Also, if the little nun is not dead, rescue her!

If she dies, I can only avenge her!

"This is Yunhu Temple!" Of course, without waiting for Xu Sheng to continue his imagination, Xuan Zhen spoke as he led Xu Sheng inside.

"Is this the Taoist temple where I want to practice in the future?" Xu Sheng looked around the temple as he walked inside with Xuan Zhen.

This Taoist temple is not very big.

But the incense is still quite popular.

There were many Taoists, young and old, coming and going.

But Xuan Zhen explained to Xu Sheng that these were just ordinary Taoists.

Some people become monks in order to escape worldly troubles!

Some simply cannot find a better way to make a living and end up working in Taoist temples.

These Taoists all receive monthly salaries.

After all, the imperial court did not collect taxes from Taoism, so the income of Taoist temples was actually quite good.

This small Taoist temple is just a branch of Taoism and not a particularly large one.

The only Taoists in the temple who truly possess magical powers and are practicing Taoism are Xuan Zhen and his twenty-eight other disciples!

Xu Sheng is Xuan Zhen’s twenty-ninth disciple!

As he spoke, Xuan Zhen took Xu Sheng into the inner backyard of the Taoist temple, and a little boy who was older than Xu Sheng now appeared.

When the little boy saw Xuan Zhen, he immediately respectfully called him Master.

Xuanzhen said that the little boy's Taoist name was Chengshou, and he was the 30th disciple he officially accepted two years ago!

Since Xu Sheng had performed the apprenticeship ceremony the year before and officially worshipped Xuan Zhen as his master, Xu Sheng was the twenty-ninth and he was the thirtieth.

Cheng Shou is the same age as Xu Sheng, and also has a body of superb spiritual roots. He is a genius who Xuan Zhen says has the hope of attaining enlightenment.

This doesn't mean that he and Xu Sheng are the only two people with top-grade spiritual roots in the Taoist temple. It's just that Xuan Zhen said that Cheng Shou has hope. Of course, it's impossible that there are only two of them.

But now Chengshou looks like he is five or six years old.

Xu Sheng looks only three or four years old!

In a sense, Xu Sheng's talent seems to be better than Cheng Shou's.

Chengshou spoke politely on the surface, but Xu Sheng could sense that he seemed a little unconvinced.

After all, he was a genius certified by Xuan Zhen, but now Xu Sheng seemed to be even more talented than him.

Xu Sheng immediately realized that his 30th junior brother Cheng Shou was quite competitive.

However, Xuanzhen should have already given him some advice, so he has become quite restrained in this regard.

Therefore, Chengshou did not say anything unpleasant explicitly and was still very polite.

At this time, Xu Sheng also felt a chill in his heart.

Because he knew that he inherited the martial arts skills from his previous life, was reborn into the body of the best descendant, and had been practicing since he was in his mother's womb.

That’s why one has such cultivation now!

He is only eight years old but still looks like he is three years old.

But this commitment is not like that!

He should have started practicing after meeting Xuan Zhen, but he is already eight years old now, but looks only about five years old, so he must have made some achievements in his practice.

This is not easy.

Of course, Xu Sheng now understands that success in practicing Taoism depends not only on talent.

It's not about who looks younger.

In the end, it all depends on your understanding and your character.

It even depends on luck.

"Chengyuan, Chengshou, your master needs to be in seclusion for a while, so he can't teach you how to practice in person!"

At this time, Xuan Zhen said, "From now on, your twenty-eighth senior brother Cheng Jian will be in charge of your cultivation. If you have any questions, just ask him. He lives in the temple all year round. He has also received the true teachings from the master. There is actually no difference between having him teach you and having the master teach you personally. When it comes to cultivation, the master only leads you to the door. Whether you can achieve success in the end depends on your own luck."

That’s right, Chengyuan is the Taoist name that Xuanzhen gave to Xu Sheng.

Ever since he performed the ceremony of becoming a disciple, Xu Sheng has been called Cheng Yuanzi.

Then Xuanzhen left Xusheng and Chengshou behind and left.

Afterwards, Xu Sheng and his 30th junior fellow apprentice Chengshou followed an ordinary Taoist priest under Xuan Zhen to a courtyard in the inner courtyard of the Taoist temple.

The ordinary Taoist left.

Xu Sheng and the other person entered.

I saw a young Taoist priest with disheveled hair writing at his desk.

Xu Sheng leaned over to take a look and found that there were some geometry problems written on it.

Of course, compared to the math problems on Earth, these ancient math problems are relatively simple.

"..."Xu Sheng was speechless.

“???” Cheng Shou also took a look, but he was completely confused, obviously he didn’t understand it at all.

"You are the two new junior brothers, right?"

Of course, at this time, the twenty-eighth senior brother also came back to his senses. He looked up and said, "Master told me to let me lead you two."

He pressed down the paper with the geometry problem with a wooden block, then stood up and walked out from behind the table, saying, "Okay, now I will teach you how to practice."

As he said this, he took a few steps and stretched.

"Chengshou..." Then he turned around and pointed his finger at Xu Sheng.

"Senior brother, I am Chengyuan." Xu Sheng said hurriedly.

"Chengyuan..." Senior Brother Twenty-Eight pointed at Chengyuan again.

"Brother, I am Chengshou." But Chengshou said naturally.

“……” Senior Brother Twenty-Eight was confused.

Then he said directly: "What a hassle! From now on, I will call you Junior Brother Twenty-Ninth and Junior Brother Thirty! You can just call me Senior Brother Twenty-Eighth. This way, it will be clear and understandable."

"Yes, Senior Brother Twenty-Eight." Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou said in unison.

“Well, then this senior brother will now formally teach you the way of cultivation…” Senior Brother Twenty-Eight took two more steps and pondered.

But just when Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou were listening attentively.

"Well, Little Thirty, go and pour a cup of tea for senior brother." Senior Brother Twenty-Eight turned around and said again.

“……” Chengshou’s face froze slightly.

"..."Xu Sheng was speechless.

"What are you looking at?" Senior Brother Twenty-Eight glared and said, "You are the youngest. If it's not you who should pour the tea, then who should do it?"

“……”Chengshou was speechless.

I could only turn around and pour tea.

"Thirty-year-old brother." Xu Sheng also spoke from behind: "I'll pour a glass for you, twenty-ninth-year-old brother, too."

“……” Chengshou paused and remained speechless for a while.

Afterwards, drinking the tea poured by Xiao Sanshi, the twenty-eighth senior brother Cheng Jian began to systematically explain to Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou about cultivation.

"In fact, strictly speaking, we cultivators are not immortal cultivators! It's just that many people call themselves immortal cultivators in order to sound more powerful."

Senior Brother Twenty-Eight said, "But to be precise, we are just cultivators..."

Time goes by.

Junior brother Xiao Sanshi Chengshou was standing by and was very understanding and kept refilling tea for senior brother Twenty-eight.

Xu Sheng was listening while drinking tea, and from time to time he would pass his empty teacup to Xiao Sanshi to signal him to refill it.

Xiao Sanshi Chengshou poured tea for Xu Sheng with a hint of resentment.

After all, they are of similar age and entered the school almost at the same time, but because of a little difference, Xu Sheng is now the twenty-ninth and he is the thirtieth.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

These three days.

Senior Brother Twenty-Eight told them in detail about the various aspects of Taoist practice.

Naturally, this also includes the current realm division of Taoism.
