Xu Zhengning took Zheng Shu all the way to run wildly, during which he took a train and a bus, and after a long journey, it finally took only a week to return to the Baiyun Temple in BJ Xibianmen before the New Year.

Looking at the Baiyun Temple, which had become more and more lively because of the approaching New Year, Xu Zhengning breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Zheng Shu in his arms, bought a ticket at the door and walked in.

Ignoring the bustling crowd around him, Xu Zhengning hugged the baby in his arms, quickly walked through the middle of Baiyun Temple, and went straight to the backyard of Baiyun Temple.

It's still early, and most of the Baiyun Temple Taoist priests should still be doing morning classes in the Yunji Mountain House in the backyard, and it just so happens that Xu Zhengning also needs to discuss the matter of this baby with the abbot and the prison in the temple. (The status of the Quanzhen Sect is similar to that of the Zhengtian Master, because for some reason, the Quanzhen Sect has not appeared for hundreds of years, so now only the leaders of each palace are led separately.) And not only the temple, but also the supreme leader of the Taoist palace is also called the "abbot", as for the reason...... Because this is the official title prescribed by the state. ）

And the Taoist priests who met sporadically greeting tourists along the way also nodded and greeted Xu Zhengning from afar after seeing him, and it seemed that they should be very familiar with him.

However, according to Zheng Shu's perception, none of the Taoist priests he met along the way had special strength, although most of them were physically strong, but they were just ordinary people.

When he came to the mountain house, Xu Zhengning happened to meet the Taoist priests who were about to leave after the morning class, and after seeing Xu Zhengning holding the baby, the faces of the other Taoist priests also showed surprised expressions.

"Uncle Shi, are you back?!"

A young man who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old ran quickly in front of him with a surprised expression on his face after seeing Xu Zhengning.

"Xingyang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect you to grow so tall in less than half a year, I remember when I just left, you just reached my chest."

Seeing this, Xu Zhengning also showed a gentle smile, stretched out his hand and gestured, looking at the little Taoist priest who was already up to his shoulder, with an emotional look on his face.

"Of course, I haven't slackened my cultivation during this time."

The little Taoist priest called Xingyang showed a smug look on his face, and then he looked at the tightly wrapped cloth ball in Xu Zhengning's arms with some curiosity.

"Uncle Shi, you are holding a child in your arms, are you yours?"

Boom!

Xu Zhengning stretched out his hand and flicked his fingers, and the little Taoist priest almost fell to the ground, and his forehead seemed to be red.

"Silly boy, what nonsense, we are not allowed to get married, where did I get my child. These guys were abandoned babies I picked up on the road, and I saw that he was pitiful, so I adopted them. Alright, I'll go see Master first, and I'll talk to you more about it later. ”

Xu Zhengning glanced at the crowd around him, stretched out his hand and touched his head with a smile, and walked to the door of the mountain house after saying hello to the surrounding Taoist priests.

Inside, his master, Xie Xin, the current abbot of Baiyun Temple, had been waiting for a long time.

Zheng Shu had been staring at these Taoist priests during this time, carefully observing the Taoist priests around him.

To his surprise, he thought that most of the Taoist priests here should have cultivation, but in fact, there are not many Taoist priests who really have cultivation, and there are forty or fifty Taoist priests in the whole room, and there are only a dozen who are really cultivated.

And it seems that the rank and status of several Taoist priests who have cultivated should be very high, and even if the Taoist priests who have not cultivated around them have gray hair, they will also show respect in the face of Xu Zhengning and the young Taoist priest just now.

Looking at a few old Taoist priests who looked to be fifty or sixty years old calling the little Taoist priest Uncle Xiao just now, Zheng Shu blinked his eyes and felt very interesting.

Xu Zhengning stood in front of the door and tidied up his robes and hair, and even the clothes that wrapped Zheng Shu were tidied up to make him look more regular.

Quanzhen Taoist priests are all ordained Taoist priests, and unlike Zhengyi, their rules are more cumbersome and stricter, and they need to live and observe and practice, strictly abide by the precepts, and eliminate lust and desire, and their life can be regarded as quite hard.

There are four basic requirements in daily life alone, namely: first, not to get married; second, do not eat meat; Third, you must also wear Taoist clothes in ordinary times; Fourth, tie your hair and keep your beard.

Therefore, before meeting your master, in order to show respect, you must arrange your clothes and image.

After doing all this, Xu Zhengning stepped into the room with Zheng Shu in his arms.

At this time, there was only an old Taoist priest with white hair sitting on the futon of the main seat in the room, and the surrounding Taoist priests were also very tacitly away from here, leaving the two people to talk alone.

"Master, the apprentice is back."

Xu Zhengning came to the front of Lao Dao and bowed, and Zheng Shu in his arms was also looking at the abbot of Baiyun Temple curiously.

At first glance, this old Taoist priest sitting in the center of the main hall doesn't seem to have anything special, except that the image looks like a fairy wind and bones, there doesn't seem to be a strong sense of oppression.

It doesn't feel like the leader of a transcendent force, but more like an old man who has been through a lot.

"Coming back?"

Lao Dao touched his beard and nodded with a smile after Xu Zhengning finished his salute, especially after seeing the fluctuations on Xu Zhengning's body, he was even more satisfied.

"Mellow and flawless, the light is the same as the dust, it seems that you have gained a good harvest from entering the WTO this time, and you have passed the bottleneck to the next stage. Very good! ”

"Thank you, Master!"

For the old Taoist priest's praise, even with Xu Zhengning's heart, he was happy.

"Thank you, old man, for what? It's your own effort. ”

The old Taoist priest stood up from the futon lightly, came to Xu Zhengning's side and patted him on the shoulder.

Bang bang!

Listening to the sound of the physical contact between the two, Zheng Shu's eyelids jumped, and this slap slapped on the shoulder of ordinary people, and the bones in the upper body were estimated to be broken.

Xu Zhengning only felt that a surging Qi was transmitted from his master's hand to his body, and after a quick turn in his body, he closed it with a touch.

"Yes, yes, it seems that you haven't left this aspect of cultivation behind since you went out."

The old Taoist priest looked even happier after checking his apprentice's cultivation progress, and only then turned his gaze to Zheng Shu, who Xu Zhengning had been holding in front of him.

"Tell me what this kid is like."

"Yes, Master."

Xu Zhengning very concisely and without omission, told all the things that happened after he met Zheng Shu, and said his inferences and thoughts by the way.

“…… That's why he brought the baby back. ”

After hearing this, the old Taoist priest also lifted the clothes covering Zheng Shu's head, and saw the two fleshy ears as Xu Zhengning said, with a look of pity on his face.

"That's really the case, what a poor child, since that's the case, let's leave him in the temple, anyway, our Baiyun Temple doesn't lack a bite to eat. An innate alien like him wouldn't be too happy to live elsewhere, and staying here would at least be a little more comfortable. ”

"Thank you, Master, for taking me in."

After Xu Zhengning heard his master's consent, the expression on his face finally relaxed completely.

Zheng Shu's heart was also relieved, fortunately, the old Taoist priest in front of him was reasonable, he originally thought that he would be discriminated against because of the ears on his head, and there would be some twists and turns in the matter of adoption.

"Oh no, did I just skip any important information?"

Zheng Shu's eyes widened in shock suddenly, recalling what he had just heard.

"Innate alien, alien? This is a world under one man?! ”

If you heard it correctly, and the words congenital and alien are mixed together, the world you are in now is likely to be the world of the work "Under One Man".

Zheng Shu recalled that the special energy he had sensed earlier, and the magical nature of this energy, was indeed consistent with the setting of "Qi" in the world under one person.

"Silly boy, at such an old age, I still play tricks with the old man, this is also a life, I can still give up him."

The old Taoist glared at Xu Zhengning, waved his hand in disgust, and took Zheng Shu from his arms, teasing with joy on his face.

Zheng Shu, who was still thinking about the problem just now, was a little confused by the sudden move of the old Taoist priest, looked at the old face that was smiling very brightly in front of him, and blinked innocently.

However, Zheng Shu was actually quite surprised in his heart, because he didn't react at all just now.

The old Taoist priest's speed was obviously not fast, and there was no concealment in the slightest, but it felt unusually "natural", and a set of movements was as natural as an antelope hanging its horns.

If it weren't for Zheng Shu's belief that his memory was correct, he would almost think that he was being held in the arms of the old Taoist priest from the beginning.

You must know that although Zheng Shu is still just a baby, under the increase of the triple reinforcement template, his observation and reaction speed are not inferior to those of top e-sports players.

Able to hide his perception so easily...... This also means that if this old Taoist priest wants to make a move on Zheng Shu, the current Zheng Shu has no ability to resist at all.

Is this the true truth that can be compared to the Positive One, although it does not show mountains and water under one person?

"Aren't you so happy to see this kid yourself, and you said me."

Xu Zhengning looked at his master's face with a wrinkled expression on his face and muttered to himself, but he didn't dare to say it, otherwise his master would definitely slap him to let him know what it means to respect a teacher.

"It's strange, why hasn't this kid been silent? It's not that there is a problem with the throat. ”

After teasing for a while, the old Taoist priest also discovered Zheng Shu's problem, although he was able to react according to his own behavior, he never made a sound, and he didn't look like an active baby at all.

"This ...... I haven't heard the boy make any noise since I picked him up. Xu Zhengning's expression was also a little gloomy as he spoke.

The old Taoist priest put his palm on Zheng Shu's throat and carefully probed it with his Qi for a while, and then turned to probe his ears, frowning a little suspiciously.

"The vocal cords are well developed, and there is nothing wrong with the ears, looking at the reaction speed, the brain should be fine, is it some kind of neuropathy."

Although it is a little strange to come out of the mouth of such an old Taoist priest with the term of modern medicine, Xu Zhengning is no longer surprised, after all, although his master is not very famous in the alien world, he is indeed a good hand at medicine.

And when he was young and had not yet become a monk, he also went to study abroad, but the situation of the country was relatively special at that time, and the old Taoist priest felt that Lu Xun was right, so he resolutely returned to China.

Later, he was rescued by the previous abbot of Baiyun Temple before he became a monk halfway and became a true Taoist priest.

Seeing that the two were discussing more and more, Zheng Shu knew that if he didn't speak out again, these people might really find a way to find a doctor from the Inhuman World to treat him.

Although he is very interested in the various situations in this world, what he needs now is to develop steadily, so it is better to be tossed a little less.

"Ah...... Ahhhh......h

Zheng Shu opened his mouth and shouted twice, and even deliberately mobilized the natural power brought by Eriyi's strengthening template, and transformed the voice he shouted into words: Judgment.

In this elemental barren world, the voice shouted by Zheng Shu naturally did not become a law of death to the surrounding matter like the dragon world, but the spiritual impact contained in the voice was enough to make ordinary people dizzy.

Of course, this kind of spiritual impact was naturally useless to the two Taoist priests who specialized in the dual cultivation of life in Quanzhen, but it was enough for them to notice Zheng Shu's specialness.

"Oh? It's funny, just the cry can inspire such a strong mental impact, and he has such an intensity at such a young age, if he grows up in the future, the future is limitless. ”

Affected by his own spirit, the old Taoist's eyes lit up, this power ...... It's almost the same as the "blowing (xing) qi" that has just started.

The so-called blowing qi is a peculiar way of fighting, in which a cultivator mobilizes the innate qi in his own body in a unique way, and then spews out the qi with the word "hum ha" to specifically attack the spirit and soul of the enemy.

Those who have achieved great cultivation can even directly blast away the enemy's soul.

Because in the Inhuman World, methods that can protect or attack souls are quite rare, so the "innate ability" that Zheng Shu is showing now can be regarded as a surprise.

"Hey, no wonder I've been silent, it's because of this, this kid's talent is really amazing. By the way, does he have a name? Or does it need to be a name? ”

The old Taoist priest rubbed Zheng Shu's face, but he didn't continue to tease him, after all, even if the consumption of innate abilities was not high, the load would definitely be too great for such a baby.

"Ah, there's a name, and when I first found him, he was holding a piece of bark with an engraving on it."

As he spoke, Xu Zhengning took out the piece of bark from his arms where Zheng Shu had carved the words before, and respectfully handed it to the old Taoist priest with both hands.

"I'll take a look, Zheng Shu...... Okay, the name is good, then you will be called Zheng Shu from now on! ”

Looking at the old Taoist's reaction, Zheng Shu also closed his eyes with satisfaction, after his "showmanship" just now, the other party should not let him speak casually.

In this way, he can be much less disturbed as a baby. When he gets older, he can also use the increased control as an excuse to talk freely.

Thinking of this, Zheng Shu couldn't help but praise his wit in his heart - it was really a perfect way.

……

……

"Come, Zheng Shu, call twice, and show off your master."

In a remote room on Baiyunguan East Road, the old abbot held Zheng Shu and shook it excitedly, showing off the old man with white hair and beard in front of him like a treasure.

Zheng Shu was wrapped in swaddling clothes expressionlessly, and his eyes were dead.
