Hard to be a master

Shen Ziliu looked up at Guan Jingxuan, shook his head, and said, "My hesitation is not because I don't want to become a monk."

Guan Jingxuan asked, "Why?"

Shen Ziliu turned his head away from Guan Jingxuan's gaze, pursed his lips and did not speak.

Guan Jingxuan casually put the soft cloth on the table, pulled Shen Ziliu to sit down by the table, and said, "Xiao Liu, if you don't tell me the reason, I won't take you to test your spiritual power. Today, if you want to tell me what Immortal Yue Qi said, I also heard that Kunlun only accepts monks, if you don't tell the truth, I will have to send you down the mountain after a while when your injuries are completely healed."

Shen Ziliu seemed to be struggling for a moment, and then whispered: "If I take the test but fail, I will still be sent away..."

Guan Jingxuan was taken aback, and asked, "Xiao Liu, why do you want to stay so much?"

Shen Ziliu bit his lips hard, and finally said with difficulty: "I have no family or friends, and there is no place to go when I leave here. I... I don't want to go back to the previous situation where I have nothing to eat every day. , being driven around, living like a beggar..."

Shen Ziliu clasped his hands tightly and looked up at Guan Jingxuan, the pleading in his eyes was very obvious: "Although I don't know anything, I can learn to do everything, helping you with laundry, cooking, carrying water, chopping firewood and taking care of the nursing home Anything is fine. I will not cause you any trouble, and I will never appear in front of you when you don't want to see me."

"So can you...don't drive me away?"

At the end, Shen Ziliu's voice was already choked with sobs, and after saying these words, he closed his eyes in a bit of embarrassment, hiding the emotions in his eyes like covering his ears and stealing the bell.After getting along with each other for this period of time, Guan Jingxuan could see that Shen Ziliu was actually a very strong kid, and now it was really not easy for him to let go of his self-esteem and say such words, which made Guan Jingxuan feel even more distressed and unbearable.

After a moment of silence, Guan Jingxuan said, "Xiao Liu, spiritual power must be tested."

Shen Ziliu slowly opened his eyes when he heard the words, there was no sadness or despair in his eyes, but the indifference of resignation made Guan Jingxuan's heart tighten.

Guan Jingxuan sighed softly, then embraced Shen Ziliu in his arms under slightly surprised eyes, patted him on the back and said: "But I can promise you, no matter what the result of the spiritual power test is, as long as you are willing , can stay.”

Shen Ziliu immediately froze in Guan Jingxuan's arms, and it was a long time before he heard his muffled voice coming from Guan Jingxuan's chest: "But didn't that immortal say..."

Guan Jingxuan let go of Shen Ziliu, let him sit back on the stool, winked at him slyly, and said with a smile, "Immortal Yue Qi said that 'Kunlun only accepts monks', so those who don't enter my Kunlun can't be monks. "

Shen Ziliu hadn't recovered from the cliff-jumping emotional changes for a while, he stared blankly at Guan Jingxuan, and said, "That's... okay?"

Guan Jingxuan saw that Shen Ziliu's dazed appearance was very cute and interesting, so she couldn't help pinching his nose, and said, "Why not? Qingmengyuan is my home, so I still have the freedom to stay in my own home. What's more, Yue Qixian Zun is so busy, so I don't have time to care whether you leave or not."

Shen Ziliu's eyes lit up in an instant, but Guan Jingxuan said again: "So Xiaoliu, you can test your spiritual power with confidence. As for whether you want to stay or not, I still hope you can think carefully about it."

Every year, Kunlun accepts a lot of seekers who either come here because of their reputation or are sent with family expectations, but not all of them can stay and worship in Kunlun.Every three years on the seventh day of July, Kunlun organizes seekers who have only come in the last three years to take a spiritual power test at the Shengxiantai on Tongdao Peak.The spiritual power test can not only detect whether the seeker has spiritual roots, but also the strength of the spiritual power of the testee.Needless to say, those without spiritual roots can leave without sending them off.Those who have spiritual roots but mediocre spiritual power, if they are not favored by any qualified monks, they can only be assigned to Tongdao Peak's dormitory, and they can only train their body and Qi once in ten and a half months Only after I have explored and practiced to complete the foundation building can I apply for one of the monks who are willing to accept apprentices as my master and worship under him.

If you are unlucky, for example, the monk you are applying for worship happens to be in a bad mood recently, or the applicant looks unsuitable, thinks the name is not good, is too short, and the clothes are not good-looking, etc., all of which may lead to the rejection of the application reason.The monks who are rejected can only continue to study with others in the dormitory, and resubmit the application next year.

Of course, there are also those who are particularly lucky.Although the one who was taken away by Xiangzhong on the spot after the spiritual power test was enough to make others envious, it was not the luckiest.The luckiest person was taken away by Xiangzhong without testing their spiritual power.This kind of monk is rare, and usually has excellent spiritual roots. A monk with a little cultivation will know at a glance that this person must be a plastic talent for cultivating immortals, such as Qi Yue and Liu Siqing.

Guan Jingxuan belonged to the kind of good luck and bad luck back then.

His journey of cultivating immortals actually started with some twists and turns. Originally, the family had inquired about the time of Kunlun’s latest spiritual power test and sent Guan Jingxuan and two other children up the mountain together. As a result, they had just climbed to Tongdao Peak less than a third of the way There was an avalanche there.Although the group of people hid in a cave in time without any casualties, the entrance of the cave was sealed by a huge boulder brought down by the avalanche. helpless.Fortunately, the food they brought was sufficient, and they managed to survive for more than half a month.It wasn't until a monk happened to pass by the cave that he felt that the huge boulder was in the way, so he caused a thunderbolt to smash it into pieces, and everyone was saved.Three days later, when they hurriedly climbed to the top of Tongdao Peak and finally stepped into the gate of Kunlun Mountain, the spiritual power test of that year was over.

Therefore, the other two children selected by Guan Jingxuan's family stayed in Kunlun for three years before waiting for the next spiritual power test, which is why he had the opportunity to meet Ling Xifeng who also just missed the spiritual power test.Later, in the spiritual power test, among the three children selected by the family, he was the only one who was found to have spiritual roots, and his spiritual power was not bad.In contrast, Ling Xifeng's test results were quite astonishing. On the spot, a real person from Tianyin Pavilion expressed his willingness to accept him as an apprentice, but Ling Xifeng refused almost without hesitation.

In this way, Guan Jingxuan and Ling Xifeng continued to be classmates and roommates for another three years.Both of them have excellent aptitudes, and they are quite enlightened in their practice. After less than a year of physical training, they completed the foundation building one after another. He expressed his wish to accept disciples, but he still refused.

After completing the foundation building, neither Guan Jingxuan nor Ling Xifeng submitted applications for apprenticeship immediately.Guan Jingxuan is completely lazy, with an appearance of "it's not bad to just stay in the school to relax and cultivate immortality as you please", but Ling Xifeng seems to have other plans.

Later, when Guan Jingxuan was watching Ling Xifeng and Liu Siqing's sparring on the sidelines, he happened to pass by for some reason. At that time, he was already the prime minister's Qi Yuexiang, and he was taken to Qinghui Palace before he could say a word. Since then, he has become a child with a master.After that, Ling Xifeng began to show talent in practice that amazed everyone. Without the guidance of his master, he had actually cultivated to the point where he could control a high-grade spirit sword.A year later, Ling Xifeng finally submitted his application for apprenticeship, and the person he wanted to worship was Wen Husband, who was the peak master of Wujian Peak at the time and was revered as the Supreme Master of Rouqing.

With Guan Jingxuan's guarantee, Shen Ziliu was finally freed from his conflicting and nervous emotions.In the half month before the spiritual power test, apart from still practicing calligraphy according to Guan Jingxuan's requirements every day, Shen Ziliu also really started to learn to do various things slowly as he said that day.Guan Jingxuan blocked it twice to no avail, so he let him be happy.

Guan Jingxuan could tell that although Shen Ziliu hadn't gone to the spiritual power test yet, Shen Ziliu had already regarded this place as the place where he would live in the future, so he was trying to get familiar with every plant and tree here, and he was also trying to make himself appear useful .Regarding whether to stay or not, the result of his thinking is self-evident.On the contrary, it was Guan Jingxuan who realized belatedly at this moment that she seemed to need to start adapting to the life of two people.
