When I was a Taoist

Chapter 664 Named Disciple
"Little guy, aren't you surprised, aren't you surprised?"

Seeing the smile on the old man's face, I was speechless for a while, and was tricked by this guy again!It turned out that everything just now was just a test. If I agreed to stay in Samsung Cave in a hurry for quick success, not only would the seal in my body be impossible to break, they would not let me really stay here to practice.

"Accident, accident. It's just that senior, if you want to play tricks in the future, can you give me a reminder in advance. If you continue to play like this, I will have a heart attack." I nodded and said dumbfounded.

"Where is this? There are many more surprises for you in the future."

The old man waved his hand, and I suddenly found that my body was slowly levitating, and then shot out towards the top of my head like a bullet!

When I came, there was only the whistling wind in my ears, but when I went back, the treatment was exactly the same, it was just a round trip.When I landed firmly, I found myself back on the previous steps again.Looking up, there is still a hopeless distance ahead.

But at this time, I already had an unshakable determination in my heart. Even if this torture had to continue, I would not have any regrets or shrink back.Because I know how many burdens I have carried on my body. Once I shrink back like this, I will regret it for the rest of my life!
There is no sunrise and sunset in this space, because the weather just changes with the mood of those seniors.I don't know how long I have been climbing on the steps, but the sun is still shining brightly above my head, evaporating my physical strength.And along the way, I went through four or five tests, and even once I almost wavered in my determination, but in the end I managed to bear it.

Finally, when I was almost exhausted, I saw the long-awaited end.The steps finally came to an end, and not far ahead was a round platform, illuminated by a warm golden light.I don't know where I pulled out another burst of strength, and I rushed over the last dozen or so steps with my hands and feet, and then collapsed in the center of the round platform, panting heavily, enjoying the golden light.

The warm light splashed on my body, quickly restoring my physical and mental strength.The warm state made me drowsy, but I knew it was not over yet, and the next one should be the last test that will determine my fate.

Sure enough, as I expected, the old man who appeared before came over again, and said with a smile: "Little guy, I didn't expect you to be able to make it all the way. Your performance really satisfied us. We must know that Shangguanmu was the first When we came up the mountain for the first time, the test we gave him was much simpler than now, but he almost failed to persevere."

Now my mind is groggy, but I can also hear the old man praising me, thinking that my perseverance is far higher than Shangguanmu.I shook my head with a wry smile and said, "Senior Shangguan is the strongest, how can I possibly compare with him."

"No, Shangguanmu also has weaknesses, and his weaknesses are fatal."

The old man's expression suddenly became serious, he stared at me with burning eyes, and said slowly: "You are the purest kid I have seen in a hundred years, no matter whether you are pretending or born like this , you can keep your own heart, and you are not ashamed of the word at all. But Shangguanmu is different, he will suffer from his own shortcomings sooner or later. If you can, you must help him turn back, Don't let him make a big mistake!"

The old man's words made me confused, what kind of master Shangguanmu, how could he need a rookie Taoist priest like me to help him turn around?And what kind of shortcomings does Shangguanmu have that would lead to such serious consequences?

However, the old man didn't seem to intend to ask me to ask more questions, so he changed the topic: "Little guy, do you know what the purpose of those things I tested you before is?"

Bragging and pretending to be b in front of an expert will only make my impression plummet, so I will never do such a stupid thing.After a moment of silence, I shook my head and replied honestly: "I don't know, please enlighten me, senior."

The old man smiled lightly and said: "To be a real Taoist priest, you don't have to be proficient in various Taoism and spells. Every test before represents the verification of every quality of you. Patience, tenacity, perseverance, integrity , Fearlessness, indifference, etc. These are the qualities that a Taoist priest must have. If you can be called a Taoist priest as long as you can catch ghosts, then you are now fully worthy of the title of saint!"

"Taoist priests, first of all, you must be excellent, be able to suffer disappointment, endure temptation, understand your true heart, and stick to the bottom line. Only then can you be worthy of your own abilities!"

What the old man said made me feel like hearing a bell ringing, and I suddenly realized.It turns out that they made things difficult for me not to test whether I have this talent that they value, but to test my character.If a person with a bad character is saved, it will naturally be a kind of ordeal for the spiritual circle.

"I see, thank you senior for your guidance." I bowed my hands towards the old man, with sincere admiration in my tone.

"Haha, you kid, don't be so happy. How many trials have you experienced before?" The old man waved his hand, and a sly look flashed in his eyes.

After pondering for a moment, I opened my mouth and replied, "A total of eight times."

"Well, not bad. It's just that Tang Seng had to go through 81 tribulations in order to obtain the scriptures. Now you want to lift your own seal, and you only have to go through eight tribulations. Isn't it a bit too little?"

The old man's smile made me panic. I was about to say a lot, but he continued: "Well, this is the last test for me. As long as you can pass it, not only can we old guys make a move Help, you can also become our nominal disciple, how about it?"

"Become a registered disciple of the Three Star Cave?" My breathing became heavy. This is the most mysterious place for hundreds of years, and those who cultivate in it must be unborn immortals!If you can really get their true biography, it will be hard to think about not becoming stronger!
Seeing me drooling, the old man snorted coldly in disgust, and poured cold water on me: "Don't dream, the registered disciple only means that you have the opportunity to come to apprentice as a teacher in the future. With your current strength, you can go from Sanxing Cave casually Just pick out a little Taoist boy who can completely abuse you. Even Shangguanmu's current strength may not be able to meet our standards."

This basin of cold water directly extinguished the flames in my heart. Even Shangguanmu is not qualified to come here to learn from a teacher, so wouldn't I be far behind?
