"I'm an immortal." The seven-and-a-half-year-old girl muttered to herself in exchange for the boy's undisguised disdain.

"I want to become an immortal in the next life."

Ye Zitong noticed that it was not herself who was floating in the air, she was carried in the air by him, so she had not yet become an immortal.

"You're an immortal?" Her face was full of adoration.

The evil color in the young man's eyes was even stronger, and he didn't know if he had intentionally loosened his hand, and he almost threw her down.

Ye Zitong hugged the young man's wrist tightly, the tip of her nose smelled a faint smell of lotus, she lowered her head to look at the ruins and tiles that were still with flames, and the young man impatiently threw her behind her, she suddenly stepped on something under her feet, and looked down to see that it was a golden sword tip, which was less than half the width of her palm.

Ye Zitong suddenly dizzy, she hurriedly hugged the young man's waist, but provoked the young man to angrily reprimand what he said, Ye Zitong didn't listen to it, she suddenly thought that her father also has a sword, a sword known as the fairy sword, it is said that this sword is capable of cutting the sky and the earth, of course, this can't be shown.

"If there's a place to go, I'll take you." The young man's voice was so cold that there was no trace of warmth, and Ye Zitong didn't even understand where he had offended him.

Ye Zitong stared down, "Are you an immortal?" ”

The boy snorted, "What? Do you want me to cross you to become an immortal? ”

"Can you conjure my mom and dad out?"

After waiting for a long time, the young man answered, Ye Zitong raised his head and met the young man's ink-like eyes, black but dull, unlike hers, brighter than the stars in the sky.

"I can't."

Waiting for this answer, Ye Zitong was a little disappointed: "Then do you know other immortals?" ”

The boy's lips moved, "Immortal...... I know one, but even a real immortal can't resurrect your father and mother. ”

What is an "immortal" and what is a "real immortal" is not much different for Ye Zitong, she only heard one sentence: immortals can't resurrect their father and mother.

"I don't want to go, let me go."

"What?" The boy couldn't help but ask again even though he heard it clearly.

"I don't want to be an immortal, I want my father and my mother."

After saying this, Ye Zitong cried loudly without warning, as if she finally reacted, her father and mother were gone, and she had really become an orphan.

The boy was a little at a loss, and just as he was considering whether to stun her first, there was suddenly no movement behind him, and when he turned his head, the small figure was falling down with a sound.

Naturally, it was not that Ye Zitong had the idea of having nothing to love at a young age, but that she was in the air, choked on the night wind, and her nose and tears were all choked into her trachea, and she went to her heart and mouth.

Of course, she didn't die, and according to the protagonist's inconclusive theory, she wouldn't die even if she was crippled and isolated, had a stroke, had convulsions, and fell crookedly into the abyss of 10,000 years without any trees growing.

What's more, she hasn't been so miserable for the time being.

So she woke up again.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a very clean room, snow-white walls, wood-colored window ridges, and a little sunlight penetrated between the window edges, and there was an incense burner on the small table in the room, and the smoke swirled on the stove, and the faint fragrance made people feel very relieved.

Ye Zitong didn't move, although she woke up, but after reading this, she lay back on the bed, closed her eyes again, opened her eyes again, closed her eyes again, and opened her eyes again, so many times, she felt that no matter how she opened her eyes, what she saw was this bright and unfamiliar bedroom, and it was not her old bed with broken legs that was cushioned by Ye Banxian with stones.

"Squeak" The door opened, and an eleven or twelve-year-old child wearing azure clothes tiptoed to see Ye Zitong on the bed, his eyes open, stunned for a long time before he flew out, and shouted: Master, she is awake.

Ye Zitong didn't stop him, didn't ask him where he was, how he got here, now there is only one thought in her mind, she is an orphan, Uncle Wang, who has no Ye Banxian and no steamed buns, calls her "Little Ye Banxian", and then stuffs her with two delicious meat buns.

The things she once despised were now hovering in her head, and she ate and slept only when she thought of them. She was obsessed again, she felt that maybe she didn't speak anymore, and she didn't talk all day long, and if she wanted to become an immortal, Ye Banxian would appear and take her away.

Not speaking has become an obsession in her heart, just like the dream of becoming an immortal, silently, making the teenagers, uncles, half-old men and real old men who keep appearing in front of her think that she may be a natural mute.

Suddenly, one day she woke up from her dream, waited for more than half a year, she was silent, Ye Banxian still didn't come to pick her up for more than half a year, her disappointment could not be expressed in words, and in the evening, when a middle-aged man in azure clothes came to bring her food, she asked: "Can I still see my father?" ”

The man was setting up the dishes and chopsticks, and when he heard the voice, he almost didn't jump up, turned his head to make sure that she was talking, and ran out as if he was flying, and shouted: "Master, she spoke." ”

The people here are not expressing themselves in a normal way.

This is the conclusion that Ye Zitong came to after observing for half a year.

After a while, the middle-aged man returned with a half-old man, whose beard hung down to his chest, and he was so thin that only a handful of bones remained.

Ye Zitong remembered that this person was the child who saw her at the beginning and the middle-aged man's master who brought her food today, in addition to these two people, there were several people who called him master.

Ye Zitong repeated his question, and the old man reached out and touched her head: "As long as you cultivate and become an immortal, you will be able to see it when you go up to the heavenly court and go down to the Yellow Spring in the future." ”

Regardless of whether the old man was comforting her or perfunctory her, Ye Zitong accepted this answer without reservation, and it turned out that she still wanted to become an immortal after going around in a circle.

She nodded, "I want to become an immortal." ”

The old man also nodded to her, and everyone nodded to her, indicating that she had chosen the right path, which was very good and harmonious, so she also became the old man's disciple. It was the ninth disciple, the one he saw at the beginning was the eighth senior brother, and the one who brought her food was the senior brother.

Her master's name is Yu Qingfeng, a disciple of the twenty-fourth generation of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Ye Zitong is the twenty-fifth generation, this is meaningless to her, she doesn't even know what the Heavenly Dao Sect does and where it is.

These questions were quickly answered, because no matter which disciple he asked, he would puff up his chest and proudly tell you: The Heavenly Dao Sect has been established for nearly a thousand years, has more than 1,000 powerful disciples, and is one of the three major sects of righteous path cultivation in the world.

That look was as if the Heavenly Dao Sect was not "one" but "the first", and it was as if they were not talking about the Heavenly Dao Sect, but themselves.

After the apprenticeship ceremony, she was able to wear azure clothes like other senior brothers, and as usual, if she had to change her name, she would replace the middle word with the name that represented the generation, and add one word in the middle if she had two words.

Lined up to Ye Zitong, here is the word "Lan", like the eighth senior brother, called Mu Lanyun, and the senior brother is called Qu Lanzhou.

What about her? Ye Lanyao.

Ye Zitong didn't like this name, and every time she heard it, she pretended to be deaf, and everyone called it awkwardly, so she was lucky to keep her name and call it Ye Zitong.

Ye Zitong thought that she would see the young man who saved her, the cold face and the faint lotus fragrance often appeared in her mind, but there was no her, and the master didn't even know who she was talking about, only that she was seen in front of the mountain gate early one morning, and there was no one else.

Ye Zitong was even more sure that the young man must be an immortal, because it was inconvenient to take her back to the fairy world, so he left her here. The senior brothers probably didn't believe her words, because they all smiled at her kindly, and then nodded and said, "Yes, it must be an immortal."

From then on, she didn't mention this matter again, but she was even more stubborn in her heart, thinking that the young man was an immortal, and he must be.

Therefore, she wants to become an immortal, not only for her own mission, but also for her father and mother, and to see this immortal again, at least to thank him for saving his life, right? She's not one to repay her kindness.

However, the road to immortality is too different from what she knows. It turns out that what Chengxian pays attention to is not "mission", not "destined", but relying on talent and diligence.

Two months later, when she was reciting the Introductory Heart Sutra with Senior Brother Seventh and Senior Brother Eight, her master approached her and gave her a task.

Just like the eighth senior brother at the beginning, she went into the bedroom today to see if the child woke up, and she was replaced by her, only then did she know that she was not the only one in this world, and there were many people who lost Ye Banxian and became orphans due to the revenge of the monster.

She lingered outside the door for a long time before she had the courage to push it open, and she didn't know what she was afraid of.

When he entered the door, he tiptoed into the house like the eighth senior brother at the beginning, and met the child's eyes after taking two steps.

He woke up and didn't speak, just stared at her.

Ye Zitong also wanted to be stunned for a long time, then rushed out of the door and shouted: Master, he is awake.

After much thought, she gave up on the practice. She didn't want the kid who seemed to be on her side to have the feeling of being seen and abandoned.

She walked over to the bedside and was the first to say the words: You can still see your family.

Until she grew up, she was still proud of her decision at this time, and she saved at least half a year for a child who would become her little brother to speak.

Sure enough, the boy who was as beautiful as white jade immediately spoke: Where are they?

Ye Zitong touched the boy's head as the master did at the beginning, shook his head and said, "As long as you cultivate and become an immortal, you will be able to see it when you go up to the heavenly court and go down to the Yellow Spring." ”

I don't know if this is the experience of raising orphans summed up by the master, in short, it is very smart, this boy named Xinyu accepted this answer immediately, immediately, instantly, just like Ye Zitong at the beginning.

The next procedure is simple: apprenticeship.

Xin Yu became Yu Qingfeng's tenth disciple, he was half a year younger than Ye Zitong, and he was a legitimate junior disciple.

He also didn't like to add an orchid character in the middle of his name, which was not arrogant enough, so Ye Zitong secretly taught him the secret tips, and when he heard someone called "Lanyu", he became deaf.

So Xinyu or Xinyu did not become Shulanyu or Xinyulan.

On the second day after worshipping the teacher, Ye Zitong packed up and stood in front of Xinyumen, waiting for him to ask him about some things about the Heavenly Dao Sect, and sure enough, he asked.

Ye Zitong also puffed up his chest and proudly told him: The Heavenly Dao Sect has been established for nearly a thousand years, has more than 1,000 disciples, and is one of the three major sects of righteous path cultivation in the world.

In addition to these, she also knew that the Heavenly Dao Sect was in Lianyun Mountain in the extreme east of the earth, and there were five vein branches under the sect master, and the sect master personally led the Triassic Peak branch, and the remaining four vein branches, such as Yuchen and Ruizhu, were all in charge of the sect master's senior brothers, they were Zixia Peak, and Li Xuanxu was their ancestor and the master's master.

Xin Yu nodded, his eyes were full of admiration, Ye Zitong patted him on the shoulder, and told him to remember these things and it will be useful in the future.

No one knows if it's useful or not, because the child who has never been orphaned was sent over, and Xin Yu has never been able to exercise the power of this mentor.

The life of the Heavenly Dao Sect is very boring, the morning bell and the dusk drum have rules, and the cultivation is also very boring, all day is to meditate, and there are no fun spells, the two children began their ignorant journey of cultivating immortals with the dreams in their hearts, how unpredictable the road ahead is, but they still firmly believe in their beliefs, until one day a year later, Xinyu brought back a bad news.

"Senior sister, did you say that the successive sect masters and elders of the Heavenly Dao Sect have all become immortals?"

Ye Zitong nodded vigorously.

"But Senior Brother Lan Ming, who is under the seat of Uncle Qingyang, said that they are all dead, although they have lived for one or two hundred years, but in the end they are still dead."

Ye Zitong didn't move, his eyes were bigger than a bull's eye.

"Senior Brother Lan Ming said that under the stone tablet engraved with the word 'Heavenly Dao' on the main peak is the place where the bones of the ancestors are buried."

Ye Zitong opened her mouth wide, her eyes widened, and her eyeballs were about to fall, no one had ever told her, so she wishfully thought that the previous twenty-three sect masters and elders had all ascended to immortality.

It seems that she was wrong.

She immediately ran to ask her master, Yu Qingfeng embarrassedly told her that in addition to talent and hard work, she also had an immortal fate, unfortunately, among the ancestors of the past dynasties, only the founding ancestor of the Tiandao Sect had an immortal fate, and crossed the catastrophe on the main peak Ming Xianfeng, and left the word "Heavenly Dao" to guide future generations to let the disciples follow the way of heaven in order to ascend to immortals.

Ye Zitong's heart was half relieved, it turned out that there were still people who became immortals, and immediately ran back to tell Xinyu Yu Qingfeng stood in place and was silent for a long time before squeezing out another sentence: Legendary.

Although Ye Zitong swore that as long as he cultivated wholeheartedly, he would one day become an immortal, and he showed up to say that he was saved by an immortal, but Xinyu still lost interest in the boring activity of cultivation, Yuzhuo's face was no longer bright, and he added some sickly paleness, Ye Zitong felt that he had a responsibility to save him, so he ran to the master again, hoping to get a more detailed answer.

After coming back, she was so excited that her face turned red and she told Xinyu: As long as we finish practicing the Introductory Heart Sutra, we can enter the realm of refining and refining qi, and then we can enter the realm of inducing qi into the body after practicing the nine-layer realm of refining and refining qi in turn, and then we will have an ageless face and an out-of-body soul, which can be regarded as halfway through the cultivation of truth.

On top of this, she synthesized her own understanding and advocated that after the soul is out of the body, she can go to heaven and earth to find her family on the Huangquan Road, and finally succeeded in restoring Xinyu's confidence in Xiuzhen, but she is always not as diligent as before.

However, Ye Zitong didn't know if she was too confident in her own explanation and devoted herself to the Tao, or if she was persistent, or if she really came with the mission of becoming an immortal, and her talent was extremely high, anyway, in the following five years, she actually really cultivated to the second level of the realm of refining and transforming qi, don't look at it, the second layer of senior brother has only touched the edge of the fourth layer after more than 30 years of cultivation, and her master Yu Qingfeng has cultivated for nearly a hundred years to reach the last layer of refining and transforming qi.

And she's only been in the shoes for six and a half years from start to finish, and she's a genius.

In contrast, Xinyu's entry is normal, and he is on the verge of refining and refining qi, Ye Zitong always feels sorry for him, and always feels that a beautiful child like him must be extremely talented, but he doesn't believe his explanation of the out-of-body soul, and if he has no motivation, he will naturally enter the realm unhappily.

Time passes like this, day by day, if there is no next life, Ye Zitong may be smooth sailing, complete the various realms, and then "doomed" to become an immortal smoothly, or maybe like those ancestors of the Heavenly Dao Sect, he will stagnate when he cultivates to a certain realm, and finally dies at the age of one hundred or two hundred.
