"Twenty-ninth Junior Brother has not revealed his true strength! I know this!"

At this time, Senior Brother 28 said, "He just wanted to be safe! He didn't want to hurt you, so he didn't let you know!"

Chengshou nodded.

"And don't be discouraged, Junior Brother Thirty! Talent is not everything! Not everyone with good talent will have the last laugh!"

Senior Brother Twenty-Eight said again: "I used to know many people who were more talented than me, but they all failed on the road of cultivation! Some were tempted by power, some were trapped by love... Cultivation depends not only on talent, but also on many other things! Especially the character of the mind is the most important! Who can avoid cause and effect, who can stay away from the secular world? These are all very crucial!"

Xu Sheng listened and nodded.

"We practitioners are most afraid of cause and effect!"

Senior Brother Twenty-Eight said at this time: "Especially for the two of you who have just entered the Dao and have just started practicing. Your relatives and friends in the secular world have not yet passed away! So it is the most dangerous. Once you interfere too deeply with your original family and friends, it is easy to consume your own potential and greatly damage your own practice."

After hearing what Senior Brother Twenty-Eight said, Cheng Shou also calmed down.

"People who practice Taoism need to be ruthless!"

Senior Brother Twenty-Eight finally said: "Only if you are ruthless enough can you avoid all causes and consequences, and only then will you be most likely to have the last laugh and achieve enlightenment!"

However, I just gave Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou a lesson.

Unexpectedly, on his way back, Senior Brother Twenty-Eight met the descendants of his relatives in the secular world who were looking for him.

A white-haired old woman fell to her knees when she saw Senior Brother Twenty-Eight.

Both Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou were shocked.

Xu Sheng listened to their conversation from the side.

It didn't take long to understand what was happening.

It turned out that the old lady in front of him was the daughter-in-law of the descendant of Senior Brother Twenty-Eight.

The reason why he came here to find Senior Brother Twenty-Eight is because his family had offended a treacherous official.

Framed by treacherous officials, the entire family was thrown into jail!

The old lady in front of him had been practicing martial arts since she was a child. Although her martial arts skills declined as she got older, she was able to escape thanks to her martial arts skills because she heard the news in time.

The old lady said that she had actually met Senior Brother Twenty-Eight once by chance in her early years, when he was helping people catch demons and exorcise evil spirits.

So she knew that Senior Brother Twenty-Eight possessed supernatural powers and was not a fake Taoist priest, but a real master of Taoism.

But she didn't want to disturb Senior Brother Twenty-Eight at that time, so she didn't go forward to meet him.

But now the whole family has been framed by treacherous officials and is about to be executed!

In this way, the old lady’s sons, daughters, etc. will all die!

Naturally, this also means that the bloodline of all of Senior Brother Twenty-Eight’s families in the secular world will be cut off.

However, the treacherous minister was very powerful and wanted to overturn the verdict and save the lives of his family members, but the old lady herself did not have the ability to do it.

So she had no choice but to come to find Senior Brother Twenty-Eight.

Xu Sheng and Junior Brother Cheng Shou were both stunned.

I didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

At this moment, the two of them looked at each other, and then turned to look at Senior Brother Twenty-Eight.

I want to see what decision the twenty-eighth brother will make? How will he deal with this matter?

And finally, he faced the old woman kneeling down and begging.

"Donor, you got the wrong person!"

Senior Brother Twenty-Eight lowered his eyes and said, "My name is Cheng Jian..."

Even though the old woman insisted that he was someone she knew, even though she was already gray-haired, and Senior Brother Twenty-Eight was only a young man.

But Senior Brother Twenty-Eight also insisted that the old woman had recognized the wrong person.

I am just the Taoist priest Cheng Jian!

Do not acknowledge your own existence in the secular world.

"You can't be so heartless!"

The old woman kneeling on the ground looked at the back of Senior Brother Twenty-Eight as he left and cried, "That's also your family's bloodline. Do you really want to watch our entire family become extinct? You clearly have magical powers, why can you catch monsters and exorcise evil spirits for strangers, but you are unwilling to save your own family's bloodline?"

But no matter what the old woman said, Senior Brother Twenty-Eight still resolutely left with Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou.

In the blink of an eye, it was already a day later.

The old woman found their Taoist temple.

He knelt outside the Taoist temple and could not get up.

"Brother, do you really not care?"

Xu Sheng couldn't help but ask Brother 28 who was meditating next to him, "She has been kneeling for a whole day and night. If she continues like this, her body may not be able to bear it!"

"To cultivate the Tao is to cut off all emotions and love! To not be involved in cause and effect!"

Cheng Shou who was standing beside him said, "Now that Senior Brother Twenty-Eight is facing this mundane cause and effect, he is still able to cut off the connection so resolutely! His firmness in pursuing the Tao should be a role model for me, his junior brother!"

"..."Xu Sheng was speechless.

“This is the pain of karma!”

At this time, Senior Brother Twenty-Eight opened his eyes and said, "But if you want to attain the Great Dao, you must sever the cause and effect! I have practiced for so many years to reach my current state, and I must not take risks for the sake of worldly cause and effect! Second Senior Brother, I will be leaving the Taoist temple for a while, as the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind! Please help me take care of her."

After saying this, Senior Brother Twenty-Eight left.

At this moment, Xu Sheng felt the ruthlessness of the Taoists.

I also deeply experienced the entanglement and pain when facing cause and effect.

I now understand more clearly why those who practice Taoism always say that they should not be involved in cause and effect.

Afterwards, Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou looked at each other again.

The two of them walked out of the Taoist temple together.

"Brother Twenty-Nine, what should we do?"

Cheng Shou looked at the old lady kneeling outside the Taoist temple with embarrassment and said, "How can we persuade her to leave? If she continues like this, I'm afraid her health will fail!"

"It's extremely difficult to persuade her to leave now."

Xu Sheng said: "But it's not that there is no solution."

"What should we do then?"

Cheng Shou was puzzled: "Brother, what method do you have?"

Of course Xu Sheng did not answer Cheng Shou at this time.

He walked straight to the old lady's side.

He stretched out his hand and slapped it, releasing his internal energy and knocking the old lady unconscious.

"Someone come, the old lady fainted."

Then Xu Sheng shouted, "Hurry up and carry her in, and take good care of her."

Some ordinary Taoist priests immediately came out of the Taoist temple and helped carry the old lady inside to take care of her.

"..." Cheng Shou who was standing next to him stared in astonishment.

He didn't expect Xu Sheng to be so simple and crude.

But think about it, it's really effective.

The old lady's health is not good anymore.

After examining her, the Taoist priest in the temple who knew medicine prescribed some sleeping pills for her and asked her to sleep for a day and a night.

This is good for her health and will also prevent her from continuing to make noise in the Taoist temple.

After she recovers, let's send her down the mountain.

When she woke up, she found out that Senior Brother Twenty-Eight was unwilling to pay attention to her.

And we are no longer in the Taoist temple, so maybe she won't continue to bother me here.

As for the matter of Senior Brother Twenty-Eight, Xu Sheng was also hesitant at this time, wondering whether he should intervene.

But he only looks five or six years old now, and he still looks very small. It would be a bit inconvenient for him to travel around the world.

And this time, the problems in Senior Brother Twenty-Eight’s family are not so easy to resolve.

It seems to also involve the court struggles in the secular world.

Because a member of Senior Brother Twenty-Eight’s family seems to be a high-ranking official in the secular world.

Even though Xu Sheng is a half-step Martial Saint, his identity in this life is, after all, just a child from an ordinary martial arts family.

He was not born into a royal family.

So if you interfere in these matters, it will be quite troublesome to deal with them.

Afterwards Xu Sheng stopped thinking about it too much.

He turned his attention back to his own cultivation.

Since Senior Brother Twenty-Eight doesn't care about it himself, why should he think so much?

However, I didn't expect it to happen a few days later.

Senior Brother Twenty-Eight is back.

But he was already dead.

"Brother Twenty-Eight!"

Xu Sheng was shocked and asked, "You?"

"Little Twenty-Nine, I know I am handsome, but you don't have to look at me like this, right?!"

The remnant soul of Senior Brother Twenty-Eight floated in the air, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother, I only like women, not men!"

"I don't believe it!"

Xu Sheng said, "You have been practicing Taoism since you were young, and you have never slept with a woman, right? Then how do you know that you like women but not men?"

“???” Senior Brother Twenty-Eight was stunned.

"Why is this so?"

Seeing that Senior Brother Twenty-Eight was no longer joking, Xu Sheng finally asked again: "What happened in the past few days?"

Of course, without waiting for Senior Brother Twenty-Eight’s answer, Xu Sheng already had some guesses in his mind.

I guess Senior Brother Twenty-Eight couldn't help but take action for his family.

"I saved my family. But I accidentally killed myself."

Sure enough, Senior Brother Twenty-Eight smiled and said, "In the end, I still couldn't escape the karma of this world!"

"Brother Twenty-Eight!"

I don't know when, Cheng Shou also appeared, his eyes were red, and he said: "How did you become like this?"

Senior Brother Twenty-Eight smiled again, and then recounted the general ins and outs of how he died in order to save his family because he could not bear to see the bloodline of his family cut off.

After he left the Taoist temple, he thought about it over and over again, and finally couldn't help but check the family affairs.

After much thought, I finally decided to help.

Originally he was very confident that he could solve it.

Be confident that you can solve all problems and then get out of it safely.

The only price to pay is the waste of some magical powers cultivated over the years.

But in the end, something unexpected happened.

Although he successfully overturned the case for his family and saved his descendants.

But he was accidentally blown up by explosives.

The body couldn't hold on and died.

Originally, the soul could still hold on.

But I didn't expect that the treacherous minister's family also supported an old man who had no hope of attaining enlightenment.

In the end, his soul was seriously injured and turned into a remnant soul that is about to break apart.

After that, he could only drive his dying soul back to the Taoist temple to say goodbye to Xu Sheng and the others.

"Twenty-nineth Junior Brother, Thirty-third Junior Brother, I am here to give you a personal example."

Senior Brother Twenty-Eight said at last: "You must remember this, remember this. Don't make the same mistake as me! This is karma. You are entangled in karma, so don't take chances."

Xu Sheng's eyes also turned red.

Chengshou even shed tears.

"Don't think about revenge for me."

Senior Brother Twenty-Eight smiled again and said, "That old guy will die of old age. He has no hope of attaining enlightenment. He doesn't have many years left to live."

After that, Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou were silent.

I don't know what to say.

Master Xuanzhen is still in seclusion.

Senior Brother Twenty-Eight also didn't let them disturb the master.

The other senior brothers have not been in the Taoist temple for six years, and I haven’t even seen their shadows.

Finally leaving.

The remaining soul of Senior Brother Twenty-Eight flew to the jujube tree again.

"Why do dates always fall straight down?"

He was muttering and thinking again: "Why?"

"gravity!"

Xu Sheng did not hesitate any longer, nor did he think of hiding anything. He immediately stepped forward and said to Senior Brother 28, "Because of the existence of gravity, the green dates always fall down."

"gravity?"

Senior Brother Twenty-Eight was puzzled: "What is this?"

“???” Cheng Shou who was standing next to him had a confused look on his face.

"There is gravity between two objects!"

Xu Sheng explained: "There is mutual attraction between any objects. The magnitude of this force is directly proportional to the mass of each object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them..."

“???” Chengshou and Senior Brother Twenty-Eight were both confused.

"Because the jujube tree grows on the ground..." Xu Sheng explained.

Finally, he said: "It is because of the existence of gravity that the green dates fall straight to the ground every time."

Cheng Shou continued to look confused.

The remaining soul of Senior Brother Twenty-Eight stared at Xu Sheng in a daze.

He was trying very hard to digest the knowledge Xu Sheng had said.

"If m1 and m2 represent the masses of two objects, r represents the distance between them."

Xu Sheng thought for a moment, then walked forward, holding a branch and writing as he spoke: "The mutual attraction between objects is F = (Gm1m2)/r^2."

The remaining soul of Senior Brother Twenty-Eight was dazed.

"G is the gravitational constant."

Xu Sheng continued: "Its value is about 6.67×10^-11 N·m^2／kg^2..."

The remaining soul of Senior Brother Twenty-Eight looked distressed.

“It’s too difficult, too difficult!”

Finally he wailed, “This question is too difficult. I can’t do it!”

After he finished speaking, his remaining soul could no longer hold on and shattered.

Xu Sheng didn’t know whether Senior Brother Twenty-Eight understood or not, but he had tried his best to explain it, which was considered to have fulfilled Senior Brother Twenty-Eight’s last wish.

Cheng Shou, who was listening with a confused look on his face, cried out in pain: "Twenty-eighth Senior Brother!"

Finally, Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou looked at each other in silence.

"Brother Twenty-Nine, what should we do next?"

Cheng Shou asked, "Now that Senior Brother Twenty-Eight has left, should we do something?"

"Do something?"

Xu Sheng asked back: "Should we interrupt Master's retreat, or help Senior Brother Twenty-Eight to avenge him?"

Chengshou remained silent.

"Listen to Senior Brother Twenty-Eight."

Xu Sheng patted Cheng Shou on the shoulder and said, "Don't get involved in karma, and practice with peace of mind. And don't even think about avenging him."

Keep silent promise.

But having said that.

But late that night Xu Sheng actually quietly left the Taoist temple.

He also had no intention of avenging his twenty-eighth senior brother.

I just wanted to see if anyone had taken care of Senior Brother Twenty-Eight's body.

No matter what, he must be buried in peace.

Thanks to the guidance of Senior Brother Twenty-Eight over the past six years, Xu Sheng felt that he had to do something no matter what.

Plus, he has a very yang body.

In fact, there is no need to be as afraid of cause and effect as other practitioners.

However, despite this, Xu Sheng still made up his mind to only help Senior Brother Twenty-Eight collect the body and not help him to take revenge.

after.

Xu Sheng successfully found the dead body of his twenty-eighth senior brother.

It’s not that the descendants of Senior Brother Twenty-Eight have no conscience, but they don’t know that Senior Brother Twenty-Eight died here.

The twenty-eighth senior brother was accidentally assassinated and killed after he helped to redress the family's injustice.

Afterwards, Xu Sheng found a place in the mountains near Senior Brother Twenty-Eight’s hometown and buried the body of Senior Brother Twenty-Eight, which had been put in the coffin.

"Are you this Taoist priest's junior fellow apprentice?"

However, Xu Sheng had just finished preparing the tombstone for Senior Brother 28 when a hunchbacked old man with white hair and withered hair suddenly appeared: "As a Taoist priest, don't you know that you should cut off karma after becoming a monk? Senior Brother, you interfered with the secular world and died because of karma. Now that you come to collect his body, aren't you afraid that you will also be entangled in karma?"

The old man was smiling.

"Daoyou, the person is dead."

Xu Sheng said, "There's no need to be so aggressive. Just let my brother rest in peace. My brother has told us not to seek revenge on you."

"He's thinking about you."

The hunchbacked old Taoist nodded and said, "That's right. Although the spiritual energy in your body has been suppressed, since you are his junior brother, you should have good aptitude. You are so young, and you have come here alone. It seems that you have cultivated some magic power. You should have a chance to achieve enlightenment in the future. You should have a chance to achieve enlightenment."

He sighed.

Suddenly his eyes became cold.

Suddenly a burst of magic power was released!

With a bang.

Knocked out the tombstone of Senior Brother Twenty-Eight.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Sheng's eyes turned cold: "Are you going to fight to the death?"

"I just don't want him to rest in peace."

But the old man showed a hint of joking at the corner of his mouth, and said with a chuckle: "I just want him to be left dead in the wilderness, little kid, what do you think?"

Xu Sheng said nothing more.

Because he knew that the old man in front of him had made up his mind and would definitely not let him go today.

Except for Xu Sheng who collected the body of Senior Brother Twenty-Eight.

Another reason is that the old man himself has no hope of attaining enlightenment, so he is psychologically twisted and cannot bear to see Xu Sheng doing well.

The reason why he didn't attack Xu Sheng directly, but spoke so slowly, was just because he was enjoying the pleasure of playing cat and mouse.

"Bang!"

So Xu Sheng didn't waste any time and directly took out a musket from his space magic weapon and pulled the trigger directly at the old man.

Damn!

The bullet spun rapidly in the air and shot fiercely at the old man.
