"On the way, I also thought: although Uncle Shi's demonic body of the Nine Heavens is not shallow, it is still far from the Holy Mother. It doesn't take Our Lady to teach this baby how much ability, as long as he has the ability to save his life. ”

"Even if it is the ability to save her life, it will be difficult for this girl to learn it for a while. Our Lady sighed helplessly.

"And what about fifteen years?" Tianzun said.

"Fifteen years ......," Our Lady bowed her head and pondered.

Seeing that the Holy Mother hesitated, Tianzun said: "At the beginning, Zixiao Palace discussed the Tao, and Uncle Tongtian had insight into the way of heaven, and talked about the mystery of 'fifty avenues, forty-nine heavenly performances, and then one of them', which greatly impressed the sages of the Three Realms, so the establishment of the religion was 'interception of the teaching', that is, the so-called 'interception of the vitality of the heaven and the earth, and the avenue of eternity'. Our Lady is the disciple of the upper seat of Biyou Palace, and the truth of this 'cutting off the vitality of heaven and earth' is naturally the most quintessence, and this girl still has fifteen years of polishing time, so I think Our Lady will definitely be able to fulfill her. ”

"Hehehehe...... Tianzun is really the prince of the Buddhist Manjushri Dharma, and the great wisdom immortal of the Taoist Guangfa, this period of patting the horse and slapping the beard is to make the old body good to use, or not...... This looks at the face of Tianzun, and secondly, the old body also likes to be close to his daughter's family, so the old body will accept her as an apprentice. Our Lady smiled.

Our Lady is really willing to accept Yan Ling as a disciple! Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him, and then called Yan Ling up and performed three bows and nine bows to the teacher.

The old mother of Li Shan accepted it calmly, and instructed the maid to lead Yan Ling to "Tingtao Xuan" and arrange for her to live there in the future.

Seeing that the matter was over, Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun moved the stone that was pressed on his chest, and then chatted with the Holy Mother for a while, got up to say goodbye, and went to Lingshan to give his decree.

"Tingtao Xuan" is an elegant two-storey small attic, is on the right side of the backyard of the Virgin Mary's Palace, the green grass in front of the door, the cliff under the window is thousands, the opposite side of the peaks and peaks are undulating, the pines and cypresses are continuous, the end is the scenery is charming, the scenery is extraordinary.

This Xuan was originally a place for Li Shan's mother to relax and watch the scenery, and now Yan Ling is arranged to live, and it has become her boudoir.

The maid led Yan Ling to "Tingtao Xuan" and cleaned up, leaving Yan Ling sitting alone at the head of the bed.

After all, Yan Ling is young, only three years old, sitting alone in the Xuanzhong, looking around, empty, missing her parents, missing the great monk, from time to time there was a whining mountain wind in her ears, which scared her so much that she cried loudly, crying for a while, crying for a while, crying for a while, crying for Brother Kiki, so miserable.

After crying for a long time, and having no strength, Yan Ling fell asleep on the bed, but he held the dragon pendant tightly in his little hand, for fear that it would disappear.

At this time, it is late, the red glow spreads all over the Li Mountain, the peaks, Taoist temples, waterfalls, pines and cypresses, birds all reflect the light of a layer of books, the floating light is fleeting, strange and treacherous, ethereal and picturesque.

A beam of sunset quietly passed through the west window, projecting on Yan Ling's fair little face, and the wet tear stains were faintly visible.

"This baby is so pitiful. Our Lady sent away Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, and when she heard Tao Xuan coming, she saw Yan Lingqu curled up on the bed, sighed pitifully, leaned over and raised her hand to twist the corners of the quilt, and covered her.

"Don't hit me, don't hit me......" Suddenly, Yan Ling woke up, clenched the dragon pendant with both hands, shrunk into a ball, and wailed, expecting to be frightened by Jiutian.

"Ling'er, don't be afraid, don't be afraid...... There's a master here. Seeing Yan Ling's frightened face, Our Lady stretched out her arms to hold her in her arms and gently patted her little shoulder.

"Master...... I want my mom and dad. Yan Ling didn't know what "Master" was, but she was held in her arms by this old woman who called herself "Master", and she felt warm at this moment.

"Your father and mother have been killed by monsters, and you will follow Master in the future. Our Lady said softly.

"No, my dad is not dead! My dad is not dead...... I want my father's mother! I want my father's mother......" Yan Ling cried in despair.

"Your father and mother are dead! From now on, you will have no father! If you cry again, Master will throw you out of this window and feed you to the wolves!" Our Lady suddenly pushed Yan Ling down on the bed, her face stern and cold as ice.

"I want my father...... I want my father and mother to ......" Yan Ling curled up in the corner of the bed, frightened and frightened, trembling and crying out in despair.

"What's the use of crying, you want to avenge your father!"

"I want to ......," Yan Ling replied timidly.

"If you want to avenge your father, you have to listen to Master's words: In the future, don't cry!

"Know... Know... Knowing it......" Glancing at the master's stern gaze, Yan Ling curled up, silent as a chilling cicada.

"Wipe your tears and sleep!" commanded the Virgin, turning and going downstairs.

Yan Ling trembled and wiped away her tears, dragged the futon over her small body, and listened to the sound of her master's footsteps drifting away, and the tears rolled down again.

She clutched the dragon pendant tightly with both hands, and kept calling in her heart: "Brother Kiki...... I want my daddy...... Brother Kiki...... I want my dad ......"

Yan Ling fell asleep when she was tired of crying, cried when she woke up, and spent the first night in Li Shan listening to Xiaoxuan in fear and helplessness.

The next day, when the sky was bright, Our Lady called Yan Ling to get up, personally changed her into a small azure robe, combed a small bun, and then washed her and led her directly to a pine forest in the back mountain.

"Ling'er: There are many delicious fruits in this pine forest, you go find a few of them. Remember: you can't pick what shines, you know?" commanded the Virgin.

"Got it, Master. Yan Ling responded.

"Go, Master is waiting for you here. Our Lady waved her hand and meditated cross-legged, closing her eyes as if she were sleeping.

Yan Ling looked at the master, and then at the ethereal pine forest, her eyes were full of timidity. She hesitated for a moment, then walked boldly into the depths of the pine forest.

After walking dozens of steps, I suddenly saw a pile of grass shining not far away, the light was like Qinglan, Yan Ling was overjoyed, the innocence suddenly opened, spread the two calves, and ran over as if flying, picking up the grass, and saw a cyan fruit, as small as a pupil, crystal clear.

"Master! Master...... I've found a fruit!" Yan Ling carefully plucked the green fruit, cheered, and turned her head to look at Master.

But seeing that the Holy Mother was still meditating, and if she hadn't heard it, Yan Ling had no choice but to hold the green fruit tightly in her hand and continue to look for it.

Hey...... Another mile!

Walking half a mile away, on a small pine branch, Yan Ling couldn't hide the small excitement in his heart, and picked a red fruit that shimmered red.

And so: one, two, three, four, five......

After searching for an unknown amount of time, Yan Ling had already found five fruits in his hand.

But after a long search, I didn't find even a single fruit.

Yan Ling was already thirsty and hungry, and her two calves moved as if they had been filled with lead, and there was no longer the novelty and excitement of the beginning, so she sat down under a small pine tree, never wanting to get up again, her eyes were shy, and she wanted to sleep. - After all, she's only a three-year-old girl!

"Ling'er: Don't want to be lazy, get up quickly, and continue to look for fruit!" Just as Yan Ling was sleeping, the Holy Mother suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Master...... I can't walk anymore. Yan Ling got up lazily, her little legs trembling, and she looked exhausted and pitiful.

"Don't want to look for fruit?"

"I don't want to. Master: I really can't walk anymore, I don't have any strength at all. ”

"Alas......" Our Lady shook her head and sighed softly, quite helpless to hate that iron is not made of steel, "Ling'er...... If you don't want to look for it, forget it, how many fruits did you find?"

"Master...... I found five fruits. Look at ......" Yan Ling spread out his little hand with joy, and saw five small fruits, all of different colors, shining.

"Alas...... It took you a day to find these five fruits. Obviously, the Holy Mother was disappointed by Yan Ling's performance, "Ling'er, you can eat them all." ”

Yan Ling had been hungry for a long time, and as soon as he heard this, he did not hesitate to stuff the five fruits into his small mouth, and his mouth was immediately full of relish, and the fragrance was extremely sweet.

"Master...... This fruit is so delicious!" Yan Ling chirped a few times, and swallowed it all into his stomach.

"Master thought that you could find at least ten or eight of them, but you only found five, which shows that your physical endowment is average, no different from ordinary people. "Our Lady said.

"Master...... Then I'll look for it again, I still want to eat. Yan Ling not only felt full in her belly, but also seemed to be full of strength.

Yan Ling was in a good mood, and she still wanted to eat, looking salivating! After all, she was a little girl, and when she met something she loved to eat, she couldn't wait to dig into the roots.

"That's it, you only have this kind of body endowment, this kind of fate, you eat too much fruit, and you will not be blessed, but it will be counterproductive. Go back and come back tomorrow. The Holy Mother said, embroidered the wind, and led Yan Ling out of the pine forest.

In fact, those glowing fruits were all golden pills deliberately manifested by the Holy Mother, and asking Yan Ling to go to the pine forest to find the fruits was just a means for her to test, the purpose was to test Yan Ling's physical endowment, that is, the physique and talent of the body.

Since ancient times, cultivators have used the body as the oven, the essence and spirit as the medicine, and the heaven and earth as the fire. Among them, the physical endowment is the first priority, and its strength and weakness directly affect the realm that the cultivator will achieve in his cultivation in the future.

After this test, Our Lady knew that Yan Ling's physical endowment, including physique, tenacity, and talent, was no different from ordinary people, which was really mediocre, and if he wanted to achieve something in fifteen years, he had to do his best to see the will of God.

From then on, Our Lady called the Swallow Spirit every day to go up to the pine forest to look for fruit, some in the grass, some in the pine trees, and some among the flowers...... At first as small as a cherry, then as large as longan.

Unconsciously, five years passed by in a flash, and Yan Ling was also ten years old.

In the past five years, Yan Ling not only built a good physical foundation, but also learned the method of breathing, and gradually became as light as a swallow and walked like a fly.

In the early morning of this day, Our Lady did not take Yan Ling to the pine forest of the back mountain, but to the bottom of the rock peak of the West Mountain.
