The Yuan and Qing Dynasties were deeply touched by what happened to Huang Quanzi, so they attached great importance to the character of their disciples. On the way to the mountain gate, they set up a path of inquiry based on Taoism to test the Taoist heart of those who came to Qingxuan to seek Taoism.
Although asking the mind is an illusion, it goes straight into the heart. If the mind is not strong, there is a possibility of going crazy, so it is necessary to send elders from the sect to preside over it.
After all, the original intention of establishing Daozong in the Yuan and Qing Dynasties was to preach, not to fight for power, so naturally they did not want to hurt others. It's just that those seekers who can't pass the inquiry should be turned away.
And even if you get through the path of questioning, only ten people will be left in the end, no more, no less.
Although it was the first time for Shen Xiaozi to preside over such an important event in the family, he did it extremely appropriately. He monitors the movements in his heart at all times, and if he finds anything wrong, he will subdue the person and send him out. Even though the immortal relationship with Jin Qingxuan was cut off, they could still avoid harming themselves.
However, this time when he opened the mountain gate, he was a little disappointed. It turned out that half a month had passed and no one could withstand the test of asking for their thoughts. He has carved out his own path in the thunder method, but the foundation has been laid. Therefore, even if his own practice method is somewhat perfect, it cannot be perfect if it falls on him. He just wanted to find a successor who could inherit his thunder technique and introduce new ones from the old, which would also be in vain for his lifelong attainments in thunder technique.
That night, the wind was as clear as water, especially in the mountains, where there was no heat in the world. Walking under the moonlight was indescribably refreshing.
Facing such beautiful scenery, Shen Xiaozi felt a little overwhelmed. It took him a while to recover, and he subconsciously sent out his spiritual thoughts to check his thoughts. He acted unconsciously, but he discovered something that surprised him.
It turned out that a new person came into Wenxin Road, and what surprised him was that this person was only a five or six-year-old girl.
He wondered if a child from some family down the mountain had gone missing, and that's why he accidentally asked for his whereabouts. As soon as he thought about it, he wanted to send the little girl away, but then he thought that Patriarch Yuan Qing always said that everything in the world is predestined. Now that this little girl has entered the mountain, let's see if she can come out of the way of questioning.
So Shen Xiaozi continued to observe the little girl and waited until she was in danger before taking action to save her.
But at this time, the little girl stopped in the middle of asking questions, her delicate little face was red, and she was breathing slightly. She didn't seem to be affected by the illusion, but it was her physical strength that affected her going up the mountain.
Her eyes are clear, and occasionally the breeze blows through her eyelashes, which is like the reflection of the willow branches and the waves on the bank of the Willow Lake, which is indescribably moving.
It is conceivable that she has such grace at such a young age. When she grows up, she will appear superficial even if she has the power to conquer a country.
The little girl looked straight ahead and said, "Why aren't you tired?"
If Shen Xiaozi were next to the little girl, he would see an elegant young Taoist reflected in her clear eyes, but no one could see him without looking through the little girl's eyes.
This man was naturally Shen Lian. When he first met the little girl, he knew that she could see him and hear him speak. Then he knew the origin of the girl and had the same feeling in his heart.
Shen Lian touched the little girl's head and thought: You look really cute right now.
He smiled and said: "I don't have a physical body, so of course I won't be tired."
The little girl didn't think it was a big deal when Shen Lian touched his head. She bit her lip and said, "What does it mean to have no body."
Shen Lian shook his head and said, "Why do you know so little now? Let me see if I can make you understand more."
He tried to separate out a strand of information, but when it came to the little girl, it didn't work. It turned out that she could see him and talk to him, which was extraordinary.
It seems that Shen Lian still can't use any method to interfere with reality, even if the target is her.
But this was enough to make Shen Lian feel a little happy. After all, having one more person to communicate with could relieve his loneliness, let alone her.
The little girl said: "If you don't tell me, I will continue going up the mountain."
She said this, but she bent over and coughed lightly. It turned out that the coolness of the mountain breeze made her feel uncomfortable.
Seeing her pitiful look, Shen Lian couldn't help but think that no one in the world would think of you, Qingshui Daojun, when you still have a cold, even if it's just an incarnation of you.
Normally, this kind of trivial matter could be solved with just a snap of his fingers, but now Shen Lian could only watch, but couldn't do much.
Even if he could teach her Qi training techniques, don't expect the little girl now to understand.
Besides, if she practiced Qi here, it would be difficult to explain going up the mountain.
It's just that the little girl's character was indeed the same as Shen Lian's impression. Although she felt uncomfortable, she walked step by step along the winding mountain road until dawn, and in the dim light of dawn, she found her way to ask questions.
What tested her along the way was not the illusion of asking for help, but the mountain road itself.
Speaking of which, I’m afraid no one would believe it, but it’s true.
Shen Xiaozi witnessed all this and was even more stunned.
He didn't even dare to think that there were talents and beautiful qualities in the world that were not affected by his thoughts at all. If he hadn't seen that her bones were really ordinary and she didn't have a lot of innate energy, he might have thought that she was the reincarnation of some heavenly being.
In fact, he guessed it roughly, but at this time, the little girl was just the robbed body of Taoist Qingshui, so her own bones only appeared in the world according to the circumstances, and she was not much different from all other living beings.
The so-called calamity body is indeed a kind of incarnation of heaven and man, but with the word calamity in the calamity body, it is not an ordinary incarnation. Moreover, the robbery body and the deity cannot coexist in the same world. Unless there is a special reason, otherwise, if the two coexist, they will naturally become one body and have no distinction between each other.
In addition, I also know everything that happened to Jie. Therefore, what Shen Lian touched his head just now was understood by a certain Taoist Lord from the land of no early education.
Of course Shen Lian was not afraid of the other party being angry, he even wished that the other party would be angry and come to his door. If Qing Shui can do anything to him, it can only help him break away from this "not here, not on the other side".
As a young girl who was in robbery, she couldn't know this person the way he knew her. Although she felt that Shen Lian was strange, she didn't react much.
Shen Xiaozi didn't know that there was Shen Lian beside him, but he happily said to the little girl: "Little girl, where did you come from?"
The little girl said: "I don't know."
Shen Xiaozi said: "Then why did you go up the mountain?"
The little girl said: "I..." She originally wanted to say that she appeared at the foot of the mountain, but she was led up the mountain by Shen Lian. But just as she was about to speak, Shen Lian made a gesture to shut her up.
Shen Xiaozi felt that there was something wrong with the little girl, but no matter how he interrogated her, she remained silent.
But even though he knew there was something wrong with her, he was still reluctant to let her go. Just because he saw the little girl's eyes, he knew that she had a rock-solid character. Her future achievements will be better than mine. This was Shen Xiaozi's only thought after seeing the little girl's eyes.
