Then Xuanzhen disappeared.
Only Xu Sheng and Shi Niang were left looking at each other.
A kiss on the cheek is no big deal.
Xu Sheng is certainly not a pure man.
After all, he had had many women in his previous two lives.
But the cat demon in front of him had an emotional entanglement with his master, and she almost became his master's wife!
So Xu Sheng was still a little resistant.
"I'm sorry."
Seeing Xu Sheng glaring at him fiercely, Shi Niang's eyes were moist and he pouted his lips a little aggrieved and said, "At that time, I suddenly had a brain tic..."
"You go now."
Xu Sheng didn't say anything at this time, but just said: "My master has said so, so you have absolutely no chance of becoming my master's wife. Our Taoist temple doesn't welcome you either."
"I'm leaving."
Shi Niang also looked in the direction of Xuan Zhen's retreat with complicated eyes, and then said, "I have no choice but to leave!"
After saying that, she turned and left the Taoist temple.
Xu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Finally the cat demon left.
In this way, the so-called love relationship between her and Xuan Zhen should have been severed.
In this case, Xu Sheng and Xuan Zhen shouldn't be embarrassed by this cat demon.
Xu Sheng naturally wasn't worried about what Xuan Zhen would do to him.
After all, the cultivators in this world do not advocate fighting and killing each other.
Especially since Xuan Zhen was about to pass the tribulation, it was impossible for him to waste his magic power fighting for a woman.
Even if Xu Sheng really got involved with this cat demon, Xu Sheng estimated that Xuan Zhen would just watch calmly.
Anyway, the matter has been settled.
The days continued uneventful.
Xuanzang is still in seclusion, preparing for his tribulation.
The Taoist temple is presided over by Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou.
In the blink of an eye, it was a month later.
However, unexpectedly, on this day, the beautiful, rich and fair twin sisters actually came to the Taoist temple.
They came to the Taoist temple to burn incense and confess their love as they did before.
Of course Xu Sheng firmly refused again.
However, Xu Sheng unexpectedly saw the twin sister hugging Cheng Shou from behind when he walked to the back mountain.
"Donor, please respect yourself."
Cheng Shou was startled when he saw Xu Sheng appeared, and immediately broke away from the soft embrace, saying seriously: "I am a monk."
"Little Taoist priest, I have chosen you."
But the younger twin sister still said: "If you don't want me, I will never marry."
"Whether you marry or not is none of my business."
Cheng Shou said, "I am devoted to Taoism and do not care about worldly matters."
In the end, the twin sisters left sadly again.
"Senior Brother Chengyuan."
Afterwards, Cheng Shou sighed and said, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."
"Why do you say that?"
Xu Sheng asked, "When did I see a joke?"
Chengshou said nothing more.
Xu Sheng didn't say anything else.
At this time, Xu Sheng actually knew that Cheng Shou said this because he might have been a little moved just now.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been held by the twin sister for such a long time.
He did not help when his family was in trouble many years ago, so it might seem a bit ridiculous if he couldn't get over the emotional hurdle now.
He thought Xu Sheng might laugh at him, so he said that.
But Xu Sheng didn't really feel like laughing in his heart. Regardless of whether Cheng Shou chose love or seeking truth in the end, Xu Sheng felt that it was his personal freedom of choice.
After all, Chengshou only has one life, unlike Xu Sheng who has eternal life to squander.
Maybe he may not succeed in the end even if he continues to seek the truth!
Perhaps he would be happy if he accepted the love of this girl.
But in the end Xu Sheng still did not speak to persuade Cheng Shou.
If Chengshou feels that he might be laughed at if he accepts the girl's love, then let him think so.
Perhaps this way, his determination to seek the truth will become more resolute.
Avoiding embarrassment in front of Xu Sheng would also be a reason for him to reject the love of this passionate girl.
There's nothing wrong with that.
In fact, Xu Sheng still hoped that Cheng Shou could continue to practice with determination.
After all, Xu Sheng has seen off too many fellow disciples along the way.
"You Taoists are so cruel."
At this time, a woman's voice came faintly from the side and said: "I took out two such passionate hearts from my chest and held them in front of you, but you ruthlessly smashed them to pieces."
"Um?"
Cheng Shou turned around and asked, "Master's wife?"
"Is Niang?"
Xu Sheng frowned and asked, "Why are you back again?"
"Why can't I come back?"
However, Shi Niang jumped down from the tree, hugged her chest with her two jade arms, and said confidently: "I said I was leaving, but I didn't say I wouldn't come back. Besides, I'm older than you, I'm your elder! Why do you care about me?"
"..." Xu Sheng was speechless, looking at her trembling waves, thinking in his heart: "Okay, you are big and you are powerful."
Shi Niang continued to live in the Taoist temple.
She started cooking, making all kinds of delicious vegetarian dishes, and then brought them to Xuanzhen.
But Xuanzhen did not accept it.
In the end, all the food she cooked was eaten by Xu Sheng.
Ever since his twin sister left, Chengshou has gone into seclusion, saying that he wanted to immerse himself in his own state of mind.
Wait until Xuanzhen's retreat is over before coming out.
No more delicious food.
"Thank you, Master's wife."
That day, Xu Sheng looked at the food that Shi Niang brought back and asked with a grin, "What's the dish today?"
"Now everyone calls me Master's Wife."
Shi Niang turned around gracefully and sat down next to the table where Xu Sheng was eating. She said, "Didn't you refuse to do that before no matter how much I asked you to?"
"Who made you cook so deliciously?"
As Xu Sheng ate, he said as if to assure her: "Once my master's wife, I will always be my master's wife!"
"Humph, look at you!"
Shi Niang smiled and said with charming eyes: "Now you know how good Master's wife is!"
"knew."
Xu Sheng nodded and said, "Master's wife is so nice!"
"Why."
Shi Niang smiled, then turned to look at Xuan Zhen who was in seclusion. The smile on her face disappeared again. She supported her chin with her jade hand and sighed, "It would be nice if your master would say the same thing as you."
"Master, do you want to say that to me? I say hello, Master's Wife."
Xu Sheng said innocently: "Then you have to marry my master's master? Then my master can call you Master's Wife like me, and say hello to Master's Wife! Great, I never thought, Master's Wife, you are such a fickle woman!"
"???"
Shi Niang turned her head, her hair rippled slightly, and glared at Xu Sheng with her beautiful eyes, "Xiao Chengyuan, what nonsense are you talking about? That's not what I meant!"
Xu Sheng smiled slightly.
Of course he knew that Shi Niang didn't mean that, which was why he expressed such an outrageous understanding.
Just interrupting on purpose.
After all, during this period of time, Shi Niang cooked meals every day and sent them to Xuan Zhen with a smile on her face, but she always came back with a sad face.
In fact, Xu Sheng was not really greedy for the food and his appetite. As a founding emperor in his previous life, what delicious food had he not eaten?
He just couldn't bear to see that the meals this woman worked hard to prepare every day were ignored.
And at this time Xu Sheng had already understood it.
Shi Niang did this because he actually wanted to accompany Xuan Zhen for the last period of time.
If Xuan Zhen fails to survive the tribulation, this period of time will be the last time in Xuan Zhen's life, and also the last time the two of them will spend together.
If Xuan Zhen succeeds in overcoming the tribulation, he will ascend to heaven and leave this world, and the two of them will be separated.
Unless this cat demon Shi Niang also practices well and successfully overcomes the tribulation and ascends to heaven, then the two of them can finally become a couple.
But how difficult is it to achieve enlightenment?
It is said that Xuan Zhen's master, whom Xu Sheng mentioned just now, has failed!
He died in a thunderstorm.
Xuan Zhen refused to eat Shi Niang's food, probably because he was afraid that Shi Niang was too seriously injured.
He was afraid that he would fail in his calamity and Shi Niang would be left alone and sad.
If he succeeds in overcoming the tribulation by then, the two will be separated by two worlds, leaving Shi Niang alone to practice with difficulty.
He still doesn't know what the world will be like after ascension.
It is not certain that Shi Niang will succeed in attaining enlightenment here!
But Xuan Zhen said that he did not accept Shi Niang's kindness to him.
But in fact, he did not order his disciples to drive Shi Niang away.
This is actually a subconscious attitude.
Xu Sheng understood that Xuan Zhen should also have feelings for Shi Niang.
It was also because of this that Xu Sheng really called Shi Niang "Master's Wife".
They are a demon and a man, but they are actually in love with each other.
It's a pity that the two of them can't be together now.
The inequality in their cultivation levels meant they couldn't practice dual cultivation. Xuan Zhen's body had also begun to age, so he had to overcome the tribulation and attain enlightenment as soon as possible.
There was no way for Shi Niang to improve his cultivation so easily.
So neither the man nor the demon revealed the truth.
Both parties are accompanying each other in their own way.
Therefore, even though Xuan Zhen didn't eat the various meals Shi Niang cooked every day, she still cooked them happily.
Although in the end all the food ended up in Xu Sheng's stomach.
But she is not a fool.
Knowing that Xuanzhen didn't chase her away was actually an attitude.
This woman was praying for a possibility, that is, Xuan Zhen's successful ascension!
And she wanted a promise from Xuanzhen.
She promised him that after he successfully overcame the tribulation, she would wait for her in the world after ascension, and that they would be reunited in the world after she succeeded in achieving enlightenment and ascended there one day!
A promise of love that can stick with each other even if we are separated by two worlds!
Xu Sheng could only sigh silently and ask what love is in this world.
Then they ate all the food made by Guang Shiniang every day.
And so life went on.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Finally Xuanzhen came out.
It also means that he is about to overcome the tribulation.
The disciples in the Taoist temple were all worried about Xuanzhen.
On this day, all the core disciples in the Taoist temple gathered together because Xuanzhen had to make his final explanation.
Those disciples who had no magical powers did not attend. Those who attended were the disciples who were truly practicing.
There are only twenty-one in total!
As for those ordinary Taoists who have no magical powers, after this meeting is over, someone will naturally announce any results to them.
"Master is going to prepare for the final tribulation! The specific time is one month from now!"
Xuan Zhen sat cross-legged in the middle. He spoke to the many disciples below and said, "I declare that Cheng Yuan will be the abbot of the temple!"
As soon as these words came out, many disciples present were slightly surprised, and then a small commotion broke out. No one looked at Xu Sheng, but at Cheng Shou instead.
Because over the years everyone knows that Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou are the most likely to become the next abbot.
However, Chengshou's cultivation is slightly stronger than Xu Sheng's, and some people originally guessed that Xuanzhen would pass this position to Chengshou.
Cheng Shou also showed a hint of surprise.
Only Xu Sheng had a calm expression, as if he had guessed the result long ago.
Sure enough, Xuanzhen soon explained that it was not a bad thing to do.
Rather, he felt that Chengshou had a greater chance of successfully achieving enlightenment, so he hoped that Chengshou could concentrate on his cultivation.
That’s why Xu Sheng was chosen as the abbot!
As the master of a temple, one must of course have certain magical powers to win the support of the people.
So he chose Xu Sheng.
Hearing this, Chengshou's face flashed with surprise again. Only then did he feel how much Xuanzhen valued him!
The other disciples also became solemn and looked at Xu Sheng one by one.
However, Xu Sheng's expression remained calm, because he had already guessed it all.
Afterwards, Xu Sheng also said that he would manage the Taoist temple well and try not to let his master down.
Cheng Shou also said that he would practice seriously and would never let his master down!
The word he used was absolutely!
Xu Sheng just said to strive for it.
Afterwards, Xuan Zhen let the other disciples leave first.
Only Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou were left.
He did not say anything more about the Taoist temple, but said that after he left, he hoped Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou could take care of Shi Niang.
Chengshou was surprised.
I didn’t expect the master would say something like this in the end!
"Master has entrusted me with something, and I dare not disobey!"
Xu Sheng said: "Don't worry! I will take good care of Master's wife!"
Xuan Zhen nodded upon hearing this and patted Xu Sheng on the shoulder.
"You obviously care about me!"
At this time, Shi Niang, dressed in red, walked out from the side. She asked with tears in her eyes, "Why don't you admit it? Why don't you give me what I want?"
She looked at Xuanzhen steadily with her beautiful and charming big eyes.
"you?"
Xuan Zhen was surprised, then sighed and said, "Why waste your mana on such a thing?"
They had not used their magic power to sense things before, so they didn't know that brewing wine would waste their magic power, so they hid in this room and eavesdropped.
Xuan Zhen and Shi Niang stared at each other for a long time.
"What do you want?" Xuan Zhen said finally.
"Don't you know?" Shi Niang just asked.
Chengshou was already dumbfounded.
"Master, then I will withdraw first!" Of course, Xu Sheng spoke at this time.
Chengshou also reacted and hurried to take his leave.
"Little cat demon, please go away."
Xuan Zhen said again: "I can't give you what you want."
He still wasn't willing to make a commitment.
Back to the retreat room.
Shi Niang felt so aggrieved that tears welled up in her eyes.
But she still did not leave the Taoist temple.
"Master's wife, why didn't you cook today?"
Xu Sheng saw Shi Niang crying on the edge of the cliff, and he couldn't help but touch his stomach and walked over and said, "I'm hungry!"
"Go to hell!"
Shi Niang was furious and scolded, "Can't you see I'm crying? And you still want me to cook for you, do you have any conscience?"
"But I've eaten the meal made by Master's Wife!"
Xu Sheng said aggrievedly: "Now I can't eat what other people in the Taoist temple cook!"
"Nonsense!" Shi Niang rolled his eyes.
"Really." Xu Sheng said.
"Then you'll starve to death!"
Shi Niang said: "Just starve you to death! Anyway, you are the disciple of that bastard, so you must be a bastard too!"
Xu Sheng didn't say anything else.
Just sitting there quietly, looking at the wind outside the mountain.
"Why don't you speak?" Shi Niang said again.
"I haven't eaten. I'm too hungry and don't want to talk!" Xu Sheng said.
“……” Shi Niang was speechless.
Then he said, "Humph, I'm not in the mood to cook today!"
Then she just sat there without saying anything.
Xu Sheng also sat there without saying anything.
He actually didn't have any special motive. He just saw Shi Niang so sad and wanted to sit with her for a while.
After all, the only people she could talk to in this Taoist temple were Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou.
But Chengshou went back to practice again.
"Xiao Chengyuan, do you think I'm good-looking?"
Suddenly, Shi Niang asked again: "Am I ugly among human women?"
"I haven't eaten. I'm too hungry to answer!" But Xu Sheng said.
“……” Shi Niang was speechless.
"How's my figure? Is it bad?" She then continued to ask: "Why has your master been indifferent to me?"
"I haven't eaten. I'm too hungry to answer!" But Xu Sheng said again.
“???” Shi Niang was angry.
"Okay, I'll go cook for you right away!" Then she clenched her fist and said, "Answer me now, you little brat."
"Looks good, great figure!"
Xu Sheng also immediately said: "Go cook. I'm really hungry."
"Hehe, I knew it." Shi Niang still sighed.
But I still got up and went to cook.
After all, she is the master's wife. How can an elder deceive the younger generation?
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Xuanzhen is finally going to survive the tribulation.
On top of the mountain.
Xu Sheng, Shi Niang, Cheng Shou, and other disciples of the Taoist temple were all on the list.
Everyone was looking at the sky.
At this time, Xuan Zhen used his magic power to fly high into the sky with his own body.
Into the depths of thunder and lightning.
Boom!
The thunder is fierce!
You can vaguely see thunder hitting Xuan Zhen over and over again.
But I can't see it clearly.
After all, they are on top of the mountain.
And Xuanzhen is deep in the sky.
After some time.
It's not over yet.
"Xiao Chengyuan, do you think your master can successfully overcome the tribulation?"
Shi Niang was very nervous and even held Xu Sheng's arm tightly with her delicate hands.
But Xu Sheng did not answer, and neither did Cheng Shou and other disciples.
Because no one knows what the outcome will be.
Especially since Xuan Zhen’s master also failed in his attempt to overcome the tribulation and turned to ashes.
Of course, just when everyone was nervous.
Suddenly a beam of light shone down from high in the sky.
"Is this a success?"
Everyone was stunned, shocked and surprised when they saw this.
Because according to Taoist legends, after successfully surviving the tribulation and attaining the great path of immortality, a halo will shine down from the sky, guiding the person who successfully surviving the tribulation and ascending to the fairyland.
"Master actually succeeded in overcoming the tribulation!"
"Very good!"
"Master is indeed strong enough!"
The other disciples in the Taoist temple were all very excited.
He witnessed with his own eyes how Xuan Zhen successfully overcame the tribulation and was about to be led to ascend to heaven.
This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm.
It made the wavering aspirations of many disciples on the path of cultivation more resolute.
The same goes for Xu Sheng and Cheng Shou.
"It actually worked!" Xu Sheng was pleasantly surprised but also a little astonished.
He originally thought Xuanzhen was going to die.
I didn’t expect Xuanzhen to be so good!
"That's great." Shi Niang was also very happy.
What I didn’t expect was that it happened at this moment.
"Little cat demon!"
Xuan Zhen in the sky actually sent his voice down, saying: "I will wait for you in the world after I ascend."
"Really?" Shi Niang was surprised.
Unexpectedly, she finally got the promise she wanted.
It turned out that Xuanzhen had never accepted her feelings before, but he was just afraid that he would fail in his tribulation and leave her alone and sad.
Now that he had successfully overcome the tribulation, he could no longer endure and poured out all the love in his heart.
"But I may not be able to cultivate to the point of successful ascension!"
Of course, Shi Niang also used his magic to shout out, "It may not be possible to go to that world!"
"You're not coming."
Unexpectedly, Xuan Zhen said, "I will wait for you forever!"
Xu Sheng and many of his disciples were shocked.
I didn’t expect that Master Xuan Zhen had such strong feelings for Shi Niang!
"What?"
Shi Niang also trembled all over, and then her beautiful eyes were filled with tears in an instant.
Of course, before Shi Niang could say anything, the beam of light that shone down from the sky directly led Xuan Zhen up.
Xuan Zhen disappeared directly into the sky.
"I will definitely practice hard!"
Afterwards, Shi Niang also shouted from the top of the mountain: "I will definitely ascend successfully and go to that world to see you!"
Her voice echoed among the mountains.
"Xiao Chengyuan, did you hear that?"
Then she turned around and said to Xu Sheng with a smile: "Your master said he would wait for me! He said he would wait for me!!"
After saying this, she jumped and danced with joy, as if she was a little girl who had received candy.
After that, of course, everyone returned to the Taoist temple.
Shi Niang has not left the Taoist temple yet.
She walked around in the Taoist temple.
Especially the places where Xuanzhen had stayed.
Although Xuanzhen was not by her side, she was very happy. The sad expression on her face was gone, and her delicate face was filled with a bright and smiling smile.
"Congratulations, Master's Wife!"
Xu Sheng also smiled and said, "You got what you wanted! But why don't you practice seriously now?"
"I'm going!"
Shi Niang smiled brightly and said in a sweet voice: "But before I leave, I want to cook another meal with you, little one! Thank you for staying with me all this time! I won't be able to cook for you here in the future!"
"Don't worry, Master's wife."
Xu Sheng also laughed and said, "Actually, I was just lying when I said I had to eat your meal. Now that I am the master of the temple, I naturally need someone to cook for me."
"I know."
Shi Niang rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not a fool!"
Of course she insisted on cooking in the end.
Xu Sheng called his other fellow disciples over as well.
Everyone had a meal together to celebrate Master’s successful tribulation.
Eat until very late.
Then everyone went to sleep.
Shi Niang still slept in the Taoist temple that night.
She's planning to leave tomorrow!
After all, it is not appropriate for her, a female demon, to stay in the Taoist temple.
Xu Sheng didn't think much about it. He was genuinely happy about Xuan Zhen's success in attaining enlightenment.
However, unexpectedly, that night, when Xu Sheng fell into a deep sleep.
He suddenly had a dream.
A bright red scene in his dream came into his eyes.
"Don't ascend!"
Four large bright red characters written in blood were written on the ground in a forest.
Next to these four big characters was the severed head of Master Xuan Zhen with disheveled hair and one blind eye. There was a serrated wound on the neck below the head.
"master!!!"
Xu Sheng, sweating profusely, suddenly woke up from his sleep, then immediately got out of bed and rushed out of the room.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, he saw the door of the room next to him suddenly opened, and Shi Niang, who was disheveled and also had a pale face, appeared at the door. Xu Sheng even saw a large area of trembling white and tender flesh.
But at this time Xu Sheng did not have any romantic thoughts, his eyes met Shi Niang's charming eyes.
Without saying a word, the two of them immediately knew that they had both received the same dream!
Of course, Shi Niang had already noticed that her private parts were exposed at this time. She was also shocked and then quickly put on her clothes.
At this time, the door of the room next to Xu Sheng also opened, and Cheng Shou, who was also sweating profusely, appeared outside the door.
It turns out Xuan Zhen had given his dream to three people!
The three of them looked at each other in the dead of night!
At this moment I feel goosebumps all over!
Xuan Zhen had clearly survived the tribulation, achieved enlightenment, and ascended to the immortal world!
Why did they have such a dream?
"I think I know where that place is!"
Then Xu Sheng said, "The place in the dream!"
Xu Sheng said this without further ado and sacrificed a green leaf magic weapon.
The three of them jumped onto the magical weapon.
No more being stingy with mana.
Xu Sheng took the two of them and flew directly into the mountains.
Sure enough, he saw Xuan Zhen's head rolling in the forest.
Next to it were four large characters written in blood: "Don't ascend!"
Everything was exactly as it had been in the dream.
"Why is this happening?" Cheng Shou trembled.
"How could it be?" Shi Niang's tears fell even more directly.
They originally thought that if they could overcome the calamity and ascend to heaven at the end of their practice, they would be able to reach the legendary fairyland and become immortal.
But now Xunzhen has become like this!
"What happened after the ascension?" Xu Sheng also looked up into the depths of the sky.
This time, Xuan Zhen's death should not have been caused by the fake Bodhisattva Guanyin.
Because Xuanzhen had not been enlightened by her.
Xu Sheng guessed that Xuan Zhen might have encountered some great terror after being guided away.
In the end, only one head escaped and fell here.
Before he died, he used his head as a pen and his blood as ink to write these four big words.
And with the last of his magical powers, he sent this scene to the three of them in their dreams.
At this moment, in the mountains and forests deep in the night, the three of them looked at each other again, and they all felt numb from head to toe.
Xu Shenggeng got goose bumps all over his body.
"Could this be the eternal night that the fake Bodhisattva Guanyin mentioned?"
Finally, Xu Sheng thought of his own experience in his previous life, and thought to himself, "Is this what she meant by the dead end of cultivating immortals?"
