Taixuan Realm.

The Immortal Dao is at its peak, the Sword Peak is suspended in the air, and there are countless people who seek immortals.

It's the day when the Qinglian Sect opens the mountain gate once every three years to accept disciples.

"Oops, it stinks, why didn't you wash up! Do you know where this is, you beggar? ”

Crisp children's voices came from overhead.

Zhang Qiudao looked up, and saw that the twelve or thirteen-year-old little Daotong was wearing the gray Dao robe of the outer gate of the Qinglian Sect, covering his nose and wrinkling his little face, staring at him unhappily.

Zhang Qiudao didn't argue, he bowed in embarrassment, and said with an embarrassed smile:

"I'm really sorry little master, I hurried over the road in the rainstorm, I'm afraid that I missed the apprenticeship time and didn't have time to wash, please forgive me!"

"Hmph, since you're afraid of missing the time, why don't you know to come early? It's a great disrespect to my Qinglian Sect that you went up the mountain like this, go back! ”

Xiao Daotong was even more displeased, thinking that the guy in front of him was deliberate.

When I was in the Qinglian Sect, what place was it?

Others are eager to dress up and show off, but he is as sloppy as a beggar.

No matter how poor you are, you should have time to take a shower.

Zhang Qiudao traveled from the Five Elements Sect thousands of miles away, day and night, and did not dare to rest for a moment.

But the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and the torrential rain continued for days, and the floods were rampant, so that he had to take a detour.

I even got sick halfway through.

Bedridden for ten days.

Before it was completely healed, Zhang Qiudao hurried to catch up with the road, and finally arrived at the deadline for the Qinglian Sect to accept disciples.

But Zhang Qiudao also knew that he was wrong, and he didn't refute anything, and admitted his mistake again and again: "My mistake, my mistake, please ask the little master to give me a chance." ”

Seeing that it was already noon, there was no chance if I didn't go up the mountain.

"Forget it, seeing that your boss is not small, it's your last chance, let's go!"

Xiao Daotong looked at Zhang Qiudao's pitiful appearance, his heart softened a little, and he waved his hand.

Zhang Qiudao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and didn't dare to stay longer, lest the other party regret it.

didn't think about it, just a few steps away, Xiao Daotong's voice came from behind: "By the way, what's your name?" ”

"Xiaosheng Zhang begged!"

"Zhang Qiudao? It's kind of let me wait for you, why did you come! ”

"Huh?" Zhang Qiu Daomeng.

The little Taoist boy was full of complaints:

"Do you know that my master specially asked me to wait for you again for ten days! The master asked me to bring you a message, you have no spiritual roots, so don't go up and humiliate yourself, go back! ”

Zhang Qiudao's stunned expression became stiff, and he looked down at the straw sandals that had been broken, never expecting this to be the case.

I want to give up.

At last.

Zhang Qiudao raised his head and said:

"Little master, I'm coming from thousands of miles away day and night, please give me another chance!"

As he spoke, Zhang Qiudao bowed down and pleaded.

Seeing that Zhang Qiudao was so stubborn, Xiaodao Tong couldn't help but stomp his feet, and said angrily:

"Oh, why don't you listen? My master said that you can't awaken the spiritual root if you are more than ten years old, and the awakening before the age of eighteen is very small, and you are almost eighteen now, right? There is no hope! ”

In the Taixuan Realm, the spiritual root is conceived in the mother's womb with a breath of innate qi, and it is born with it.

Theoretically, it is possible to awaken the spiritual root before the age of eighteen, but it is very small before the age of ten, and there is not one after the age of ten for ten years.

"Xiaosheng is still a month away from turning eighteen."

Zhang Qiudao replied bitterly.

This is his only chance.

"Idiot, you have such perseverance, learning literature can help the common people, learning martial arts can protect one side, give up, leave a little thought for yourself, don't kill yourself!"

An old voice rang out from afar.

The old man with the immortal wind Dao bones floated down beside the Dao Tong.

Dao Tong immediately said respectfully: "Master! ”

"Zhang Qiudao has seen Qingfengzi Dao Chang."

Zhang Qiudao recognized the other party, the deacon elder of the outer gate of the Qinglian Sect, he has been seeking Taoism in the Qinglian Sect for more than ten years, and most of them are the Qingfengzi Daoist who is responsible for recruiting apprentices.

"Over the years, you're just afraid that you're not just seeking the Tao in my Qinglian Sect, right?"

Qingfengzi looked at Zhang Qiudao regretfully.

The reason why he noticed Zhang Qiudao, one of the countless seekers, was because this kid was the last one to take the test every time.

Even in the face of failure, he never cried like other children.

It's about being strong and covering up the loss with a smile.

Over the years, time and time again.

As long as the other party has a little spiritual root, Qingfengzi will make an exception to include the other party in the door.

How!

How!

It's a pity that a true seed of seekers.

In the Taixuan realm, the spiritual root is divided into five elements, and the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are the lower grades, and the two are born in pairs for the middle grade, the three talents are born into the upper grade, and the four elephants are born into the best grade.

The symbiosis of the five elements can produce the root of the heavenly spirit, the root of the alien spirit, which is immeasurable and superb.

In addition, the five elements are not mutually reinforcing and even have some restraints, they are miscellaneous spiritual roots, inferior products, and their cultivation is extremely slow.

"Returning to the Dao Chief, I sought the Tao three times in the Sword Sect, the Imperial Sect four times, and the Five Elements Sect six times, I wanted to go to other sects, but the distance was too far, so I had to give up."

Zhang Qiudao recalled that over the years, he didn't feel hard, just regretted.

"These three sects are thousands of miles away from my Qinglian Sect, and you have walked hundreds of thousands of miles over the years, why don't you give up?"

Qingfengzi was completely moved, and he really couldn't imagine what supported a person from childhood to adulthood to go so far.

Give up?

When Zhang Qiudao dreamed back at midnight, he didn't admit to thinking about this problem.

Can.

Zhang Qiudao straightened his waist and asked:

"I have heard that people will conquer the sky, and I have heard that a gentleman should strive for self-improvement, and I once thought that there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts."

"Could it be that all this is fake! Is the fate of man predestined according to whether there is a spiritual root? ”

"Could it be that cultivating immortals has never been against the sky, but God has destined who can become an immortal?"

"If that's the case, do we come to this world to live to die?"

Xiao Daotong had already opened his mouth wide and looked at the beggar in front of him stupidly.

Qing Fengzi could no longer maintain the calmness of Dao True Cultivation, and looked at this young man who was full of patches and slightly embarrassed, but couldn't hide the light on his body.

He originally thought that Zhang Qiudao was a dead brain who sought the truth.

Now I realize that I underestimated the world.

Little boy, this kind of state of mind is incomparable to many immortal cultivators.

Even he, an immortal cultivator with a triple foundation, asked himself if he might have such perseverance.

Eighteen realms of immortality, practicing qi, building a foundation, planting roots, entering the Tao, Yuan Dan, quenching pulses, washing the body, Ding furnace, concentrating, Jindan, breaking Dan, Yuan Baby, transforming the gods, Du Tribulation, merging, nine turns, Mahayana, and soaring.

Each realm is ninefold, one is sad and one is heavenly.

Long.

Qingfengzi sighed: "You have such an understanding, if you concentrate on studying, you can be a great Confucian." ”

"Please also ask the Taoist chief to tell me to learn literature and practice martial arts, can I live forever?" Zhang Qiudao bowed.

"You're so afraid of death?" Qingfengzi was speechless, slightly embarrassed and displeased.

"Afraid! How can you not be afraid of death! ”

Zhang Qiudao did not shy away from admitting it, looked up at Qingfengzi standing on the cliff, and said:

"Zhang Qiudao is just a mortal, no different from all living beings! I want to understand the world, I want to be able to swim in the twilight of the North Sea like you, I want to no longer be troubled by the red world, I don't have to be afraid of the passing of life. ”

Fate allowed him to travel to this world, giving him a golden finger that is the standard for a traverser, but depriving him of the possibility of cultivating immortals.

Since he was three years old, he was tested by the Blue Lotus Sect and had no spiritual root.

Zhang Qiudao has always had a problem.

If he can't cultivate, if he can't live forever, what is he doing when he travels into this world?

Let him die again?

"At a young age, he ...... like this"

Qingfengzi wanted to scold the other party for being not energetic, greedy for life and afraid of death.

But when the words came to his lips, Qingfengzi couldn't help but ask himself, why wouldn't he be like this?

Suddenly.

Qingfuzi found that she had no reason to stop the other party.

Even if he is out of good intentions, he doesn't want the other party to face the cruel reality.

But looking at Zhang Qiudao's unwavering gaze, Qingfengzi's heart softened.

Such a determined and unyielding young man, I hope not to be hit by reality and despair.

He has seen too many children who are determined to seek the truth, can't accept the reality, and jump to end their young lives.

Qingfengzi took Dao Tong to soar through the clouds and mist, and disappeared into the depths of the clouds:

"Whether there is a spiritual root or not, it is never up to you and me to decide, if you still don't want to put it down, come up and give it a try!"

"Thank you for growing up to be a !!"

Zhang Qiudao watched from a distance and bowed in thanks.
