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.
Xuanzhen 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 appear, 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?"
"Shi 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 rippling 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.
这一天，道观里的核心弟子齐聚，因为玄真要做最后的交代。
那些没有法力的弟子都没出席，出席的都是真正在修行的弟子。
总共也就二十一个！
至于那些没有法力的普通道士，等这个会议结束之后，有任何的结果，都自然会有人对他们宣布下去。
“为师要准备最后的渡劫了！具体时间是一个月后！”
玄真盘膝坐在最中间，他开口对下面的众多弟子说道：“我宣布，观主之位，由承源担任！”
这话一出来，在场的众多弟子，都略微讶然，接着爆发出一小阵喧哗，大家没有看向许升，反而纷纷看向承守。
因为这些年来大家都知道许升跟承守两个人是最有可能成为下任观主的。
但是承守的修为比许升要强一点，一些人原本猜玄真会把这个位置传给承守的。
承守也略微露出一丝的讶然。
唯有许升脸色平静，好像早就猜到了这个结果。
果然很快玄真也就解释说，这不是承守不好。
而是他觉得承守有更大的机会证道成功，因此他希望承守能够专心修炼。
因此才选择了许升当观主！
身为观主当然还是要有一定的法力才能服众。
所以他选择了许升。
听到这里，承守的脸上再次闪过讶然，这才感觉到了玄真对自己的看重！
其他弟子也纷纷肃然，又一个个看向许升。
不过许升的脸色仍旧平静，因为他早就已经猜到了这一切。
随后许升当然也表示说，自己一定会好好的管理道观，争取不让师傅失望。
承守也表示说，自己一定会认真的修炼，绝对不让师傅失望！
他用的词是绝对！
许升只是说争取。
再之后玄真就让其他弟子先行离开了。
只留下许升跟承守。
没有再交代什么道观的事情，而是说等他离开之后，希望许升跟承守能够多照看一下施酿。
承守讶然。
没想到师傅居然最后会是这样的话！
“师傅有所托，弟子不敢不从！”
许升则说道：“您放心！弟子一定会好好照顾师娘！”
玄真闻言点了点头，手拍了拍许升的肩膀。
“你明明是在乎我的！”
而在这时一身红衣的施酿从旁边走了出来，她眼眶湿润地问道：“为什么不肯承认呢？为什么不给我，我想要的？”
她一双美丽的娇媚的大眼睛定定地看着玄真。
“你？”
玄真讶然，随后叹气道：“为何要浪费法力做这种事？”
他们之前都并没有动用法力感应，所以并不知道施酿居然浪费法力，就潜伏在这房间里偷听。
玄真跟施酿两个人对视了很久。
“你想要什么？”最后玄真说道。
“你不知道吗？”施酿却只是问。
承守已经傻了。
“师傅，那弟子就先行退下了！”当然这时许升开口。
承守也反应过来，连忙也要告退。
“小猫妖，你走吧。”
玄真却又说道：“我给不了你想要的。”
他还是不愿意给承诺。
还回到了闭关室里。
施酿委屈得眼眶含泪。
但她还是没有离开道观。
“师娘，今天怎么没有做饭菜？”
许升看见施酿在山崖边哭，不由摸着肚子走过去说道：“我肚子饿了！”
“你给我去死！”
施酿气极了，骂道：“没看见我在哭吗？还想让我给你做饭，你有没有良心啊？”
“但是吃过了师娘做的饭！”
许升委屈道：“现在我吃不下道观里其他人做的了呀！”
“胡说！”施酿白了一眼。
“真的。”许升道。
“那你就饿死吧你！”
施酿道：“饿死你得了！反正你是那混蛋的徒弟，肯定也是个混蛋！”
许升没有再说话。
只是默默地在旁边坐着，也望着山外的风。
“你怎么不说话了？”施酿却又说道。
“没吃饭，太饿了，不想说话！”许升道。
“……”施酿无言。
随后才道：“哼，我今天没心情做饭菜！”
接着她就坐在那里不说话。
许升也坐在那里不说什么。
他其实没有什么特别的动机，只是看见施酿这么伤心，想在旁边陪她坐一下而已。
毕竟在这道观里她能讲话的也就是许升跟承守。
但承守又跑去修炼了。
“小承源，你觉得我长得好看吗？”
突然这时施酿又问道：“我这模样，在人类女子里难道很丑吗？”
“没吃饭，太饿了，无法回答！”但许升道。
“……”施酿无言。
“我的身材怎么样？不好吗？”接着她又继续追问道：“你师傅为什么对我一直都无动于衷？”
“没吃饭，太饿了，无法回答！”但许升又道。
“？？？”施酿气鼓鼓。
“好，我这就去给你做饭！”接着她捏着小粉拳说道：“你快给我回答！你个臭小子。”
“好看，身材很好！”
许升也立即道：“去做饭吧。我真饿了。”
“哼哼，我就知道。”施酿虽然还是叹了一口气。
但还是起身做饭菜去了。
毕竟她可是师娘，身为长辈怎么可以欺骗晚辈？
转眼一个月后。
玄真终于要渡劫了。
山巅之上。
许升、施酿、承守、以及道观的其他弟子都在列。
大家都在望着天空之中。
此时的玄真以法力带着自身肉身已然飞上高空之中。
进入那电闪雷鸣之深处。
轰隆隆！
雷霆凶猛！
可以隐约看到雷霆一遍遍地打在玄真的身上。
不过看不太清。
毕竟他们在山巅。
而玄真在高空深处。
过了一段时间。
还没结束。
“小承源，你说你师傅能渡劫成功吗？”
施酿很紧张，甚至玉手紧紧地抓着许升的手臂。
但是许升没回答，承守等其他弟子也没回答。
因为大家都不知道结果会怎样。
尤其是玄真的师傅当年渡劫也是失败且直接灰飞烟灭的。
当然就在众人紧张的时候。
突然一束光晕从天空的高处照射了下来。
“这是，成功了？”
众人见此都是愕然、震惊、惊喜。
因为根据道门的传说，渡劫成功之后，证得真人大道，就会有光晕从天空中照射下来，将渡劫成功的人接引、飞升上达仙界。
“师傅居然渡劫成功了！”
“太好了！”
“师傅果然够强！”
而道观的其他弟子们都非常地振奋。
亲眼目睹玄真渡劫成功，还即将要被接引飞升。
这无疑是一剂强心针。
让众多在修道路上的弟子们的摇摇摆摆的求道之心更加地坚定了一些。
许升跟承守也是同样。
“竟然成功了！”许升在惊喜之余也有点惊讶。
他本来还以为玄真要挂的。
没想到玄真还真行！
“太好了。”施酿也是高兴得很。
更没想到的是就在这个时候。
“小猫妖！”
在高空之中的玄真居然将话音传了下来，他在说道：“我会在飞升之后的世界等你。”
“真的？”施酿惊喜。
没想到最后她还是等来了自己想要的承诺。
原来之前玄真一直没有接受她的情意，只不过是害怕自己渡劫失败，会留下她一个人伤心而已。
现在他渡劫成功，顿时就不再忍耐，将自己心中的情意直接倾泻而出。
“可是我不一定能修炼到飞升成功！”
当然施酿这时也法力喊话道：“不一定能去到那个世界！”
“你不来。”
没想到玄真竟说道：“我便一直等你！”
许升跟众多弟子都震惊。
没想到师傅玄真对施酿的感情这么浓重！
“什么？”
施酿也是浑身一颤，接着美眸之中顷刻就盈满了泪水。
当然这时不等施酿再说什么，那道从天空之中照射下来的光束直接就把玄真给接引了上去。
玄真直接就消失在了高空之中。
“我一定会好好修炼！”
之后施酿也在山巅大喊着道：“一定会飞升成功，去到那个世界见你！”
她的声音在山间回**。
“小承源，你听到了吗？”
接着她还转头笑颜如花地对许升说道：“你师傅说会等我！他说会等我！！”
说完，她高兴得又蹦又跳，好像是得到了糖果的小女孩。
再之后众人当然就是返回道观。
施酿还没有离开道观。
她在道观里走来走去。
尤其是玄真呆过的地方。
虽然玄真没在她身边，不过她却高兴得很，一改往日脸上淡淡哀愁的神情，精致的脸上充满了明媚灿烂的笑意。
“恭喜师娘！”
许升也笑道：“得到了自己想得到的！不过你现在还不去认真修炼吗？”
“我是要去的！”
施酿笑容明媚地娇声说道：“不过离开前呢，我要再跟你这小家伙做一顿饭！谢谢你这段时间一直陪我！以后我就不能在这里给你做饭了！”
“放心吧，师娘。”
许升也笑道：“其实之前说非要吃你的饭不可，只是骗你的，我如今身为观主，自然少不了下厨的人。”
“我知道。”
施酿翻了个好看的白眼道：“我又不是傻子！”
当然她最终还是坚持下厨。
许升把其他的师兄弟也叫了过来。
大家为了庆祝师父渡劫成功一起吃了一顿。
吃到很晚。
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 Xuanzhen 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?"
