[Rebirth] The Plan of the Son of Heaven

Human world, secular.

"Shall I take you to the town to see the doctor?" The thin boy frowned and whispered anxiously to the pale child lying on the haystack.

"It's okay...Brother Xiaocao...I'll just take a break..." Tongtong Qingshan said weakly, "Brother Xiaocao, please go buy buns alone..."

"But you are alone..." the boy worried.

"It's okay, the master is here, we will go together when you come back." The child smiled.

"……All right……"

The master in the child's mouth appeared seven days ago, the boy had never seen it, but the boy believed in the child.

"Aunt Wang, please bring me four vegetable buns." The boy lowered his head and whispered.

This boy is a frequent visitor to Aunt Wang's steamed stuffed bun shop, usually he and two other children come together, but today he is the only one.

"Okay~ Xiaocao, here, why didn't Xiaoshan come today?"

Aunt Wang gave four meat buns to the boy, her tone was kind so as not to scare the boy.

"He's not feeling well today..."

Xiaocao was a little uneasy, and wanted to go back to see Qingshan immediately.

"Ah...why is it uncomfortable? Have you taken the medicine?" Aunt Wang frowned, and that kid from Qingshan... looked seriously at the anxious young man in front of him again, "If you are not feeling well, you should see the doctor, if you can help me Can you tell my aunt that you are in a hurry to take care of Qingshan?"

"Thank you, aunt... He said it's okay, just take a rest... If you don't feel better tomorrow, you can get the medicine... Hmm."

Xiaocao lowered her head and still whispered.

"You child, go ahead." Aunt Wang said with a smile.

"Goodbye, Aunt Wang."

Xiaocao's voice was still low, and the person had moved nimbly and quickly through the crowd, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Aunt Wang shook her head and smiled: "Two lovely children..."

When Xiaocao ran out of the town, she looked back at the door-shaped stele engraved with the words Qingfeng Town, her eyes were filled with peace.

Goodbye, Qingfeng Town.

broken temple

"... green... mountain?"

When I first pushed open the door of the ruined temple, I didn't see Qing Shan who said he would be with him forever, lying on the haystack they laid together and smiling at him, and I didn't see the master Qing Shan said...

Xiaocao lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and stood in front of the door blankly.About a quarter of an hour later, he went to the haystack and took out the steamed stuffed bun in his arms. He sat cross-legged on the haystack, lowered his head and bit slowly, biting more and more slowly... Then he stopped, tears streaming down his face, he shrank his body and hugged his knees and hands. Clenching the bun tightly in his chest, his forehead resting on his knees, his shoulders trembling...

"Brother Xiaocao..." Qing Shan squatted in front of Xiaocao, his eyes were full of distress and panic.

The green mountain that disappeared from Xiaocao's eyes was right in front of him, but Xiaocao couldn't see or hear it.

"master……"

Qing Shan, who was covered in filth and dressed in a Taoist robe, seemed like a handsome young man from a rich family. He stood up and was no taller than the waist of the old Taoist next to him ----- Xuan Qing, who was pulling a long beard The sleeves of the old Taoist looked pitifully at the old Taoist.

Of course, Qing Shan still doesn't know that the old Taoist's name is Xuan Qing.

Xuan Qing shook his head:

"He has a bad foundation, so it is impossible for me to accept him as an apprentice. The most important thing in the journey of cultivation is the foundation. If the foundation is not good, the sect will not accept him, unless it is a handyman... But now, according to his Even a root bone can't be a handyman..."

"Master~ Didn't you say that I am destined for you? Brother Xiaocao and I are together, brother Xiaocao must also be destined for you~" Qingshan acted like a baby, Qingshan never thought of letting Xiaocao do chores.

"Qingshan, what I'm looking at is your root, as for fate... Fate is not calculated in this way." Xuan Qing was helpless.

"Then master, brother Xiaocao is very smart, he can learn everything quickly! Doesn't cultivation depend on understanding?" Qing Shan tugged at Xuan Qing's sleeve and shook it.

"Where did you get your comprehension?" Xuan Qing was even more helpless for this little clever ghost, looking down at him without pulling out his sleeves.

"...Isn't that what the story says..." Qing Shan smiled sheepishly.

"...While understanding is important, what is more important is xinxing."

"Then you just talked about the root!" Qingshan complained.

Hey~ this kid!That's all: "The most important thing is the root, followed by the heart, but this child's heart..."

Xuan Qing hesitated to speak.

The child's personality is not suitable for cultivating Taoism, and his bones are indeed not good. After saying this, Qingshan will definitely be anxious with him.

"Brother Xiaocao is just a little bit shy! He is very smart! He can quickly learn what I teach him! Besides, you have only met him a few times. Doesn't it take time to see if his character is good? Besides, his character It can't be forged..." Qingshan was really anxious.

"Qingshan!" Xuanqing squatted down and looked at Qingshan, "The way of cultivating the Tao is different from the things in this world. It requires a heart, not just simple perseverance. I have lived for hundreds of years, and I can tell who is suitable for Taoism at a glance. Who is not suitable for cultivation."

"But...but...how will you know if you don't try? Brother Xiaocao is different...Master, please..." Qing Shan knelt down and kowtowed.

"...Qing Shan, we don't have time and we can't waste resources... What we need right now are children with good bones..." Xuan Qing sighed.

"Master?" Qing Shan forgot to Xuan Qing with tears all over his face.

Xuan Qing's eyes were full of helplessness: "The day I saw you, I made it clear to you that I would only accept you as my apprentice. I know that you and that child have a deep relationship, and you will never see each other again after I leave. I gave you seven days to say goodbye, and you gave him hope that he shouldn't have..."

"……master……?"

Qing Shan stared blankly at Xuan Qing, he carefully looked into Xuan Qing's eyes, and made sure that he would not change his mind, but Brother Xiaocao... Qing Shan's eyes were firm.

"Master." Qing Shan knelt on the ground and did not get up, "I'm sorry."

Qing Shan touched his forehead to the ground, but did not lift it up.

"...Are you threatening me again?" Xuan Qing narrowed his eyes.

"Qingshan doesn't dare, thank you Taoist priest for showing love, Qingshan doesn't want to practice Taoism." Qingshan's tone was calm and firm.

"..."

There was silence... only the sound of Xiaocao's suppressed weeping.

"Good! Good seedling!"

Qingshan raised his head happily, and saw the old Taoist's face with a happy smile: "Then master, Brother Xiaocao can..."

"No." Xuan Qing interrupted Qing Shan's words expressionlessly.

"Then Qingshan..." Qingshan lowered his head again.

"You have no choice."

Qingshan stood up suddenly and looked at the old Taoist vigilantly, but the old Taoist didn't move.

Xuan Qing watched Qing Shan's movements with admiration, but the words he said were cold and cruel.

"Do you know what will probably happen after we leave, he," Xuan Qing was sure that he could take Qingshan away, and in fact he could, he pointed to Xiaocao, "he will hate you."

Aoyama's pupils constricted, and he looked at him vigilantly, preparing to stand in front of Xiaocao.

"Don't be nervous, I won't do anything to him." Xuan Qing laughed, "It's what you will do to him."

Aoyama looked at him.

"You gave him hope and then ruined it. For a child who is dependent on you and has a slightly dark mind, you have brought him despair. Then what will he do? Find you and revenge you by any means, but he finds Without you, he can’t enter the door of ascetics, he may go crazy in this world all his life, or he may enter the way of magic, harming others and himself. Do you know what the way of magic is?”

Qingshan looked at Xuanqing with fear, and with a trembling voice, he knelt down again:

"...Master...don't...don't do this..."

"I can't take him away, but you, I have to take him away." Xuan Qing looked at him and said indifferently.

[Spiritual root is a rare heavenly golden spiritual root in the cultivation world. Its physique can automatically absorb external spiritual energy. In the mundane world, there is a high-level relative-spirit physique that gathers meager spiritual energy all over the body...]

"...Master, don't do this...please..." Qing Shan looked at Xuan Qing pleadingly.

"Qingshan, do you know why I told you this?"

"..."

"I need an heir, a strong and smart heir who can handle all the big and small things of the sect."

"...Yes, master, I will study hard...Brother Xiaocao..." Qingshan calmed down slowly.

"Lesson one, cut your past." Xuan Qing said indifferently.

"Master?!" Aoyama almost screamed in a high voice.

Xuanqing looked at Qingshan indifferently, and Qingshan stared closely at Xuanqing's eyes, carefully distinguishing the emotions in them, but he was destined to be disappointed, Xuanqing's eyes were only indifferent, without any human feelings.

That kind and amiable person who explained the formulas for him... who is it?

"...Zhan Qianchen didn't ask you to kill him, but just to kill him." Xuan Qing couldn't see the child looking at him as if he didn't know him, he really liked this child.

"...I'm sorry... Daozhang..." Qingshan lowered his head, feeling ashamed that he didn't see through, but he really couldn't let Xiaocao go.

Xiaocao is Qingshan's savior.

Qingshan used to live in the palace, although it is a cold palace in the palace, but it is good to be with mother and nanny, mother has a lot of meetings, see mother and nanny from time to time with those who look down on them The battle of wits and courage among the eunuchs and court ladies is also very interesting.

Suddenly one day……

It was very hot that day, and the palace was in chaos. The mother said that the general rebelled, and all members of the royal family were killed, and a group of people came towards the cold palace...

Mother is dead...

Qingshan doesn’t remember what happened in the middle, but only remembers that the first person he saw was Xiaocao, and Xiaocao said that he pulled him up from the river... At that time, Xiaocao was as shy and timid as now, nine years old He just lost his grandfather... Five years, five years of being dependent on each other... How could he give up?We only have each other...

"That's all..." Xuan Qing shook his head, "You have two choices: one, go with me with the memory; two, erase the memory and go with me."

"!" Qing Shan suddenly raised his head and looked into Xuan Qing's eyes.

"If you don't choose, I will choose for you." Xuan Qing's eyes were full of seriousness.

"……"Why?Why must it be me?root?Am I the only one with good bones?Qing Shan looked at Xuan Qing pleadingly.

You're not the only one with good bones, but I don't have time to find another one.Xuan Qing closed his eyes and opened them again, but there was no trace of humanity in his eyes.

"five."

"……"why?

"Four."

"……"why?

"three."

"...Why..." Why is there no time?What happened in your world?

"two."

"Tell me!" Qing Shan roared.

"one."

"Tell me..." Qing Shan trembled.

"My child... forget it..." Xuan Qing knelt down.

"No! I want to remember!" Qing Shan waved away Xuan Qing's outstretched hand, raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face and roared uncontrollably.

Xuan Qing withdrew his hand and smiled: "Why don't you want to forget? Isn't it good to forget everything and start over?"

"...Remember, remember, talent, ability, more, stronger!" Qingshan slowed down, stared fiercely at Xuanqing, and paused word by word with a hoarse voice.

Xuan Qing is calm, as the head of a faction, who has he never met?

"Yes, but if you are like this, it is easy to give birth to demons and step into the way of demons."

Qing Shan suddenly raised his head to look at Xuan Qing, only to see red phoenix eyes full of guilt and a young face approaching fiercely.

"Also, the time has passed... I'm sorry, little guy."

It's just a nine-year-old kid.

Xuan Qing hugged the unconscious Qing Shan and was about to leave, then turned around and looked at Xiao Cao who was still crying silently as if thinking of something.

"...You forget it too."

Watching the grass slowly fall down, Xuan Qing turned around and flew to the sky above Qingfeng Town to cast a small spell before truly leaving the mundane world.

Why didn't I tell you?Because I don't know...Master, why didn't you tell me?

The fact that Qingshan lived in Qingfeng Town no longer exists.

【Extraordinary Education in Extraordinary Times】

After Xuanqing left, Xiaocao opened her eyes and saw a book in front of her at a glance.

He sat up cross-legged, put the book on his lap with one hand, and handed the bun to his mouth with the other, took a big bite, muttering:

""Entering the Tao"... Huh? Meat buns? Aunt Wang is so kind! It's a pity I can't stay here anymore..."

Xiaocao pursed her lips, and after finishing a meat bun in twos and twos, she flipped through "Into the Tao" and muttered in a low voice: "Poor Qingshan... You must not be dizzy with this kind of thing... Oh, I forgot Forget it, you won't..."

He shook the book in his hand, and the black flame rose and burned the "Introduction to the Tao" in his hand.

Alas... Troubled Huang Quan...

Xiaocao took out the remaining three meat buns in her arms.

~ so delicious ~
