"Xuandu!"
Wang Zhen had just sat down when he heard his father's voice.
"Sage!"
As soon as Laozi opened his mouth, Xuandu knelt on the ground and bowed!
"Why are you so obsessed with cultivation?" Looking at Xuandu kneeling on the ground, Laozi asked indifferently.
"To protect our clansmen!" Without thinking too much, Xuandu blurted out.
Laozi didn't comment on Xuandu's answer. His expression didn't change as he continued to ask.
"Do you have any private thoughts when cultivating?"
"Yes, for immortality!"
I am still calm because I know all of this.
"What is cultivation?"
"Cultivation is power!"
"Can you hold on to loneliness?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Are you used to seeing life and death?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Are you firm in your pursuit of Dao?"
"Yes, sir!"
Following that, the two of them engaged in a quick question and answer session, and Laozi asked Xuandu to answer.
"How can you prove it?"
"This…"
Xuandu hesitated. There was no need to doubt his desire to pursue the Dao, but how could he prove it? He was instantly at a loss. Laozi's words kept rolling in his mind, and he kept thinking about the best way to answer. However, after thinking about it, he had no choice but to give up. This problem was too unsolvable, especially for someone who had never cultivated before.
Laozi had been paying attention to Xuandu's expression. When he saw his blank expression, a smile appeared on his expressionless face.
"Xuandu, I'll give you a chance. Are you willing to prove it?”After waiting for an hour, just as Xuandu was about to fall into a demonic trap, Laozi spoke again.
"Ah!" Laozi's words made Xuandu confused at first, then he was filled with surprise."Thank you, Saint!"
Laozi smiled and turned to Wang Zhen."Niu Er!"
"Master!" Wang Zhen stood up and said.”
"I'll leave this matter to you." I didn't say how to do it, I just said that I'll leave it to Wang Zhen.
Wang Zhen didn't ask and nodded happily.""Alright, Master!" With that, Wang Zhen bowed to the Three Pure Ones and left the Three Pure Ones Hall and East Kunlun with the dizzy Xuandu.
In the Hall of Three Pristines, Laozi waved his hand to dismiss the crowd after Wang Zhen and his brother left. Only the three of them remained in the hall.
"Big brother, congratulations on taking in another excellent disciple!”Primordial Origin and Tongtian congratulated Laozi. There was no jealousy in their words, but they congratulated him from the bottom of their hearts.
"Xuandu is still a little immature. After this tempering, I believe he can also become my disciple.”I accepted the congratulations of my two junior brothers without hesitation. At the same time, I also took advantage of them.
……
Wang Zhen rode on a cloud and left East Kunlun with Xuandu.
If his master wanted to see Xuandu's heart of Dao Seeking, the only way was what Xuandu had said before.
The two of them were very fast. They arrived tens of thousands of miles away from East Kunlun in fifteen minutes. Wang Zhen found a mountain range and lowered his cloud to put Xuandu down.
"Xuandu, do you still remember what you said? I've already given you a chance. This is Master's test for you. I'll wait for you at East Kunlun's mountain gate. I'll wait for the moment you call me Eldest Senior Brother.”
Wang Zhen believed that Xuandu was smart and understood what he meant. After saying this, he disappeared.
Of course, he wasn't really leaving. He was just hiding at the side to protect Wang Zhen. As Wang Zhen's junior brother, he didn't want some blind fellow to ruin things. Of course, he was only talking about those cultivators. As for the wild beasts, he didn't care. This could be considered a small obstacle on the road to Dao.
During the Journey to the West, Buddhism entered the Eastern Land and experienced 81 difficulties. If one wanted to obtain something, one had to first pay and go through countless hardships. The journey of tens of thousands of miles from East Kunlun was a challenge for Xuandu.
Xuandu did not act immediately after Wang Zhen left. Instead, he tried hard to recall what he had said.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. He thought of the drunken words and then thought of the Sage's words about how to prove it. Xuandu immediately felt confident, and a hint of determination appeared on his face. He looked up in the direction of East Kunlun."I will definitely succeed, even if I have to sacrifice my life!”
Thinking of this, Duo Bao withdrew his gaze and looked at the tall mountain range in front of him. He quickly walked to the foot of the mountain and knelt on the ground, bowing."Disciple Xuandu sincerely seeks the Dao.”After saying that, he kowtowed three times without hesitation, completely ignoring the hard mountain rocks below.
After kowtowing, Xuandu remained kneeling on the ground for three days and three nights. On the morning of the fourth day, he did not receive any response. He kowtowed three more times, stood up, and walked forward.
In the following days, Xuandu spent his time paying respects to the mountain, seeking Dao, hurrying on his way, and resting. Wang Zhen followed by his side the entire time, helping him resolve these small matters.
The places that Xuandu traveled were deep in the mountains, forests, barren hills, and treacherous waters. They encountered many wild beasts. Because of the good body that East Kunlun had nurtured, the process might have been a little difficult, but they still managed to survive.
Wang Zhen brought Xuandu down the mountain. They had been gone for decades. East Kunlun had lost the suppression of his Eldest Senior Brother. The originally peaceful and loving scene gradually became a little conflicted. His status was second only to Wang Zhen's, but he didn't do a good job of guiding them in time, causing a slight estrangement between the senior and junior brothers.
And these were small matters. As Saints, it was not good for them to show themselves, nor could they pay attention to them all the time. The Three Pure Ones also needed to cultivate. Just like that, the small estrangement began to worsen and gradually developed into a big estrangement. When the estrangement accumulated to a certain extent, it developed into a small conflict, and the small conflict accumulated and developed into a big conflict. During this period, the people's hearts quietly changed.
One day, while Abundant Treasures was cultivating, Jin Ling, Wu Dang, Gui Ling, and Zhao Gongming came over.
"Senior Brother, those people from Chan School are really going too far.”As soon as she entered the door, Gui Ling couldn't help complaining to Duo Bao who was sitting on the cloud bed with her legs crossed.
Hearing this, Duo Bao, who was cultivating on the bed, opened his eyes and stared at Gui Ling with a cold face. His eyes didn't have the usual affection for his junior sister anymore, only coldness and sternness,"Those people from Chan School? Red lotus, white lotus, green lotus leaf, the three religions were one family! Gui Ling, have you forgotten what Shifu said? Aren't they your senior brothers?”
Duo Bao usually looked gentle and refined, never getting angry, and always had a gentle smile on his face.
However, what Gui Ling said today had crossed his bottom line. When he went to East Kunlun, both Great Master Laozi and Second Senior Uncle Yuanshi treated him like their own disciple. Hearing Gui Ling talking about the Clan of Enlightenment and those people, how could he accept this?
Even if Gui Ling was his junior sister apprentice, were Guang Chengzi and the others not his junior brothers?
It was also Gui Ling's first time seeing Duo Bao so serious. She was about to say something, but she was so scared that she held back her words. Her eyes turned red, and tears started to well up in her eyes.
Jin Ling, Wu Dang, and Zhao Gongming, who had come with him, also stood rooted to the ground when they saw that Abundant Treasures was furious. They did not dare to breathe too loudly.
