When I was a Taoist

Chapter 665

"So don't daydream, it's better to seize the time to practice and improve your own Taoism. Maybe after three to forty years, you can barely let us catch your eye."

I don't know whether the old man's words are shocking or comforting, I shook my head dumbfounded, and said: "Senior, please tell me what the last test is. I care more about when my seal will be released than apprenticeship. "

The old man nodded, and said slowly: "Seeing that you have suffered a lot along the way, I will not make it difficult for you in this last test. It is just a very simple question. If you can answer it, I will consider it You pass. If you don’t answer, or get it wrong, just try again when you figure it out.”

Although the old man spoke so easily, I could see the triumphant smile on his face, and I felt a "thump" in my heart.It seems that this last test is definitely not that easy, maybe this old naughty boy dug a big hole for me to jump.

"Little guy, it seems that you have been in Taoism for ten years. Tell me now, what is the essence of becoming a Taoist priest?"

I never expected that the old man's question would be so simple!So I didn't even think about it, and replied without thinking: "In order to make myself stronger, to protect my friends and lovers, to find out my family's secrets, and to protect the safety of Yangjian."

After I finished speaking, I always felt that there was no flaw in my words, and they were all from my true heart.But the old man shook his head and asked back: "If you want to protect your friends and make yourself stronger, you can practice Taoism, but there is no need to become a Taoist priest for this purpose. Are you really sure, becoming a Taoist priest for these purposes Taoist priest, thus giving up a lot of glory and wealth that should have been obtained?"

Indeed, if I just use the Taoism I learned to make money, those superstitious rich businessmen alone can make me live comfortably for the rest of my life, and I can live the rest of my life comfortably.And this kind of life is what Tingting hopes I can accept.

But I chose to follow the line of orthodox Taoist priests, and spent most of my time dealing with ghosts, wandering between the gates of ghosts.If you are lucky, you will catch ghosts, if you are not lucky, you will be sent to your door by a ghost.Both are part of the supernatural circle, yet there is such a big gap between them.I had never seriously thought about it before, but when the old man asked me this question today, I started to mutter in my heart.

Seeing that I didn't speak, the old man continued to say: "Isn't your original intention to protect those who need protection and clean up all the ghosts in Yangjian? On the premise of not violating the bottom line, since you have a better choice , why not make your life a little more comfortable?"

"Are you sure, you still want to continue to be an ascetic Taoist priest?"

Every word of the old man's words was heart-breaking, which caused me a lot of chaos.The old saying is still true, people do not kill themselves.Even I am now facing a dilemma.

Do you continue to walk on this dangerous and bitter road, or choose to make your life better?
There is really no difference between these two options. Am I really going the wrong way in the first place?
I sat on the ground in a daze, and couldn't help but sweat.The dilemma made my head ache, and I suddenly began to look forward to a comfortable life.Maybe only in this way I will not have such a difficult decision again, maybe only in this way can I give Tingting the life she really wants.

"Senior, I..."

Just when I was about to speak, all the distracting thoughts in my mind suddenly disappeared, replaced by the familiar and unfamiliar face highlighted.With a cigarette in his mouth like a ruffian, he grinned and said, "Brat, have you forgotten what I told you?"

"Master!"

I woke up like a dream. Isn't Gao Liang just like me, who looks greedy for enjoyment on the surface, but never thinks about seeking any benefits for himself.He could completely enjoy life in Dragon City, but he wandered around in the most dangerous places, fighting against the chance time and time again with his life.

He and Tianji didn't have bloody enmity, I didn't understand what he was doing before, I just thought that good and evil are incompatible.Now I figured it out, what Gao Liang did was just to be ashamed of his heart.

Taking a long breath of relief, I stood up slowly, looked at the old man and said, "Senior, I didn't choose wrongly. This is the path I wanted to choose. It is true that the spiritual circle can choose comfort, but the reason why I am a Being a Taoist priest is not just for the sake of what I just said. More importantly, I hope to be worthy of my heart."

"Traveling all over the Yangguan Avenue and banning the ghosts in the world, I just hope that I will have no regrets in this life!"

I didn't expect my voice to echo in this outdoor world like a bell.The old man stared straight at me as if in a daze, then suddenly patted my shoulder fiercely, and said loudly: "What a shameless one, what a life without regrets!"

My shoulder was almost crushed by the old man's slap. I grinned my teeth in pain and wailed: "Senior, no matter how good I say it, can you be gentler to me?"

"Haha, the old man was so excited that he couldn't hold back for a while. But you really surprised me. If it weren't for your weak strength, I would have accepted you as a closed disciple right now."

The old man rubbed his hands together and said with a smile: "Okay, you have passed my test perfectly. Come with me, those old guys and I will help you undo the seal in your body right away."

I was overjoyed when I heard that, and then asked with some worry: "Then what should senior Shangguan do, I'm afraid he's still waiting below and doesn't know my current state."

"It's all trivial, just leave it to me."

The old man waved his hand, then flicked his fingers, shooting a golden light from his fingertips to the space below.Immediately he beckoned and said, "Come with me, they've been staring at you too. After hearing what you said just now, I'm afraid I can't wait to see you now."

Followed the old man all the way to the entrance of the water curtain cave, the old man stepped in directly, glanced at me and said: "This is not the water of the world, but the water without roots, mixed with the treasures of heaven and earth, and it is very beneficial to cultivation. It’s very beneficial. But you don’t have any magic power now, so it’s better for you than a mouthful of fresh water.”

Hearing this, I poured out the water I had collected with great difficulty, and said with a smile: "I just want to taste the difference between the water here and the water in the world."
