Tao Xiheng did not stay here any longer. He took Xiao Baishu and Gu Yao and the other three and left directly. After leaving this forbidden area, they discussed and decided to stay nearby for a while to let Xiao Baishu lay a solid foundation for cultivation. Then he would go back to deal with those people and things related to him.
According to the map, they came to a city called Xiyao and settled down. In the eyes of the locals, they bought a piece of mountain with a large amount of money, including a large yard at the foot of the mountain. However, seeing that except for the children, the other five adults in the group were all earth immortals, the residents of Xiyao City did not dare to have other thoughts and tried every means to make friends with them.
Since they were not leaving in a short time, Gu Yao and the other three simply treated themselves as ordinary earthly immortals. They did not refuse to interact with the locals, but just treated it as another practice. Needless to say, after slowly calming down, their state of mind was indeed much calmer, and this kind of peace could not be replaced by Fu Shen Dan.
After integrating into the local life, they focused their attention on Xiao Baishu. Everyone was eager to try and wanted to train him and work hard to make him a well-rounded talent.
For example, Gu Yao and Xu Chen were particularly active in teaching Xiao Baishu about the knowledge of alchemy recipes, helping him identify various kinds of immortal herbs, explaining their medicinal properties and the application of alchemy principles, and taking him to practice swordplay at night. Just when Xu was about to explain the Buddhist scriptures to Xiao Baishu, he was finally kicked out by Tao Xiheng who could no longer bear it.
"This is my apprentice. If you want to teach an apprentice, go out and recruit one yourself!"
Practicing swordplay and learning alchemy would be fine. If he had talent in this area, Tao Xiheng would not mind learning more. But what was the point of learning Buddhist scriptures? Become a monk? Xu himself was not a proper monk, so don't even think about leading his apprentice astray.
In this noisy atmosphere, the little cypress tree became more and more active, and seemed to be in two extremes compared to Jin Hong who was seen in the fairy palace.
Xu Chen sat on the tree, pointed at the little cypress tree jumping in the forest, and said to Xu Chen: "Look, I know that Tao Xiheng did it on purpose. Look at what he taught the little cypress tree to be like. It's like a little monkey. If Senior Jin Hong is still alive, I don't know how angry he would be."
In fact, he also had some credit for this, mainly because the little cypress tree's life experience was pitiful, and he wanted to make him happier, but now, who asked Tao Xiheng to blow Xu out? Tao Xiheng, if he offended Xu, he would offend Xu Chen, hum.
Lexu nodded and said, "What a pity. In fact, Xiao Baishu has some Buddha nature."
The child grows up very fast. When he first came, he was only six years old and looked only four or five years old. In the blink of an eye, he is already a teenager. His brows are bright and cheerful, and there is no trace of the past. However, his cultivation is only in the middle stage of the mortal immortal. This is because several people took turns to lay a foundation for him in the first few years and did not let him advance too much. In this way, the mortal immortals in the city may not be his opponents.
In these years, he followed the five adults to learn a little bit of everything, except Buddhist scriptures, which was not allowed. Of course, Lexu knew more than just Buddhist scriptures, so he knew a little bit of everything but was not very proficient. Of course, compared with his peers, he was knowledgeable.
Although it was not very clear at first, this was intentional by the five adults. When he was older, they would see which path he preferred.
The result was unexpected, but it was also expected by the ancient people. Xiao Baishu did not follow the path of his previous life, but chose the same path of talismans as Tao Xiheng.
It was surprising that he did not follow the path of his previous life, but after all, this life was a new life, completely separated from the previous life, so it was understandable. But he chose talismans. In fact, they had also seen some signs in recent years, that is, among the five of them, Xiao Baishu was obviously more dependent on Tao Xiheng. Perhaps when he was brought out, Tao Xiheng's performance left too great an impression on him, like a mountain protecting him.
In such a peaceful environment, Xu Chen, who had not sensed the signs of a breakthrough before, also entered the retreat. The reason why Gu Yao and the other four stayed here was partly because of Xiao Baishu and partly because of Xu Chen.
Xu Chen's retreat made Xiao Baishu a little uncomfortable. After all, Xu Chen did not have the image of a senior and often took him out to play. It happened that there were cultivators of the same age in the city who asked him to experience together, so he said goodbye to the adults and went out.
Tao Xiheng was also very relieved to let him go out alone, because he had a lot of defensive means, both overt and covert. It can be said that no one in Xiyao City can really threaten Xiao Baishu. No matter how powerful they are, they can sense it in the first time and go to rescue them.
As a result, he came back alone after only a few days of being away, and then he went into his training room without saying a word and secluded himself like Xu Chen.
This abnormality made Tao Xiheng very curious: "What happened? I thought he would be away for at least a month this time.
Gu Yao nodded and said: "It is a bit abnormal. Do you want to check what happened?" In these years, they have watched Xiao Baishu grow up with their own eyes, and they still have a sense of accomplishment as adults. But as the child grows up, shouldn't adults intervene too much?
Tao Xiheng had the same idea. Since Xiao Baishu didn't tell him, shouldn't he ask? However, as a parent, he was worried that the child would be wronged outside and would not come back to tell. After thinking about it, Tao Xiheng still ran out to check secretly. The result made him neither angry nor amused.
"Do you know why this is so? "Tao Xiheng's facial expression was a little distorted," The Yi family in the city actually set their sights on our Xiao Baishu and wanted him to be their son-in-law. What are the cultivators in these families thinking
?"
Gu Yao's jaw almost dropped: "How old is Xiao Baishu?" In their eyes, he is still a child.
Tao Xiheng said with a dark face: "It's because they are attracted by the power behind Xiao Baishu. Xiao Baishu has learned a lot and knows everything. In the eyes of outsiders, we are a little mysterious, so they want to strike first. They discussed it behind their backs, but Xiao Baishu has been cultivated by you in the past few years, and his spiritual awareness is much higher than his cultivation. Xiao Baishu heard it and came back first in displeasure. "
A smile appeared in Chi Changye's eyes, and he turned to look at Gu Yao, because he remembered the past. When he and Gu Yao were together, they were only teenagers in their teens, and they had walked through all these years together.
Gu Yao and he had a telepathic connection, so he could see the meaning in his eyes, and his face became a little hot.
Tao Xiheng didn't expect that he would be treated like a fool by these two when discussing the matter of Xiao Baishu. He was so angry that he wanted to burn them with a torch! His face became even darker: "That's enough. "
Gu Yao turned away embarrassedly and patted his hot cheeks. Chi Changye ignored Tao Xiheng's non-threatening glare and said calmly: "You are worrying too much. Over the years, everyone has treated Cypress as a child, but he is not an innocent and carefree child after all. Maybe this incident reminded him that he is no longer young and there are some things that he should shoulder, so he went to retreat. Tao Xiheng
calmed down instantly: "You mean he wants to go back and solve his problems?"
Chi Changye said: "Do you think he has forgotten what happened back then? "
"Of course not. " Tao Xiheng was still confident, and then sighed and said, "Then let him go. If he solves the problem earlier, he can practice without any distractions." "
After that, Xiao Baishu did not run out again after coming out of retreat. He practiced harder than before, and his cultivation level rose steadily. With adults watching over him, his foundation was not unstable.
Tao Xiheng had experienced it once, so he supported Gu Yao's teaching of Xiao Baishu's body training method. In this way, with both internal and external cultivation, Xia Baishu ushered in his human immortal calamity five years later.
Xia Baishu passed the human immortal calamity without any trouble and stepped into the early stage of human immortal. After he consolidated his cultivation, he came in front of Tao Xiheng, Gu Yao and others. When he wanted to say something but hesitated, Tao Xiheng flicked his forehead with his finger and said with a smile: "What is there to hide from Master and several uncles? What do you have that we don't know?"
Xia Baishu chuckled and resumed his friendly attitude, saying: "Master, uncles, I want to go back. When Master took me away, he said that I would go back to repay kindness and avenge grudges. I think the time has come now."
"Let's go, I'll take you there. What about you?" Tao Xiheng looked at Gu Yao and others. Xu Chen was still in seclusion.
"Let's go around the area." Gu Yao looked at Chi Changye, who nodded in agreement.
"I'll stay." Lexu wanted to guard Xu Chen who was in seclusion.
So the six people split into three groups. Gu Yao and Chi Changye were not worried about Xia Baishu going back now. They had seen it before. Even the most powerful ones could not break through to the human immortal. Maybe it was because of the restrictions of heaven and earth there, or it could be that the immortal energy there was too thin. If Xia Baishu, a human immortal, went back, he would be worshipped by the local royal family.
Besides, after they left, those things would definitely not be covered up. If Xia Baishu's father had a conscience, he would not sit idly by and watch the Chen family. Even if his father was a conscienceless person, would the royal family ignore it? Aren't they worried about offending the "immortal" who took Xia Baishu away?
Therefore, Gu Yao and Chi Changye went out to play without any worries, walking and stopping here and there, and lived a very comfortable life. Occasionally, they would help others when they saw injustice on the road. Of course, they did not even show up.
This time they were gone for another five years. When they were tasting the local wine in the tavern at home, they received a message from Xu Chuan that Xu Chen had come out of retreat to pass the tribulation. The two of them immediately left the tavern and hurried back. Xu Chen's immortal king tribulation was different from Xia Baishu's human immortal tribulation. They had to go back to protect him. They would not feel at ease if they did not see it with their own eyes.
When he returned to Xiyao City, he saw Xia Baishu standing beside Tao Xiheng, winking at them and smiling. Gu Yao couldn't help but think of Senior Jin Hong whom he had met in the Immortal Palace. He had really become a different person. Now even Tao Xiheng no longer wanted to take Jin Hong as his disciple to suppress him. He truly put himself in the shoes of a master.
