refining fire

After returning to his room, Xuan Yu lying on the bed looked at the bright moon in the cold sky outside the window, thinking silently in his heart: Is this moment still coming after all?After this trip, when will I be able to come back to see the master, see the senior brother, and the many juniors?When will I be able to return to the human world?

As he meditated, these 300 years of practice could not help but come to his mind...

It was noon, and the loud cry of a little black cat pierced the scorching sun. Although it was a cat, he was born in the famous Kunlunxu.Thanks to the unique geographical environment and its own extraordinary spiritual power, the black cat gradually learned to adjust its breath, cultivate its spirit, absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and consume the essence of the sun, moon and stars.In this way, the hard work paid off, and over time, the breath gradually condensed into golden pills in the body, and the little black cat also turned into a human form.After living a life of being a king in the mountains and a romantic and suave life as a wild monster, his thoughts settled down and he began to make more thorough plans for his future.

If he wanted to ascend to immortality, he had to find an immortal who could teach him the righteous way, so since then, correcting the way has become his whole heart.He began to visit countless mountains in Kunlun Xu, just to find a famous teacher.

Fortunately, within a few years of trekking through mountains and rivers, he met a Taoist priest in the mountain stream with no green peaks—Moon Shadow Daoist.

At first, the little black cat thought that the old man was unremarkable in appearance, and he looked very young on the outside, without a single wrinkle on his face, but his hair was all white. The old man was wearing a plain gown, lying lazily Napping under the shade of a tree by the stream, Xiao Hei guessed from his appearance that he was a practitioner.So, after drinking water by the stream, he wanted to go forward to ask if he knew any famous teachers nearby, but just as he approached, the silver-haired old man suddenly opened his eyes and drank from his mouth: "What a strong evil spirit! "Then, a flying body, drew out a shining silver sword and stabbed at him——

The black cat dodged and managed to dodge the sword, but immediately after a series of white lights flashed, and after a series of moves, he was subduedly suppressed by the sword, and could only keep begging for mercy: "Master, spare my life! Master, spare my life! I I didn't come to harm you, I really just wanted to ask you something!"

"With such a strong demonic aura, how dare you say that you are not evil!" The white-bearded old man refused to withdraw his sword.

"I'm not one of those little demons who murder people's lives!" the black cat yelled, "I visited the mountains just to find a good person... I am a good demon who swore to correct the way! ... And ... and I also never Never harmed anyone! Except... hehe... except... bullying a few little female cats..."

When the black cat said this, it smiled a little embarrassedly, then immediately recovered its serious expression, and swore: "What I said is absolutely true! Please believe me! I will never lie!"

The old man saw that his eyes were firm, he didn't look like he was lying, he discerned carefully, and he really didn't feel any hostility from him, so he withdrew the sword in his hand, straightened his clothes, and said to him: "Follow me~"

From then on, the little black cat was led to the mountain gate, and later he learned that this Taoist master with superb swordsmanship and the ability to subdue demons was the "old fairy" he had been looking for - Daoist Yueying.

The black cat knelt down and saluted, but begged the real person to accept him as an apprentice.

Seeing that he is extremely talented, with a full horoscope, and a righteous body, and indeed has the talent for cultivating immortals, Master Yueying agreed wholeheartedly.Later, according to the surname of his ancestral home in Lianshan Guizang, he was given the name Zhou Shen.

Zhou Shen's original body has black and reddish fur all over his body. He also has a pair of extremely charming slender phoenix eyes. It was shining brightly, as if a fire was ignited in the eyes.

True Moon Shadow used this to give him another name: Xuan Yu.And scattered people live in the spirit of fire.

Since then, the black cat has officially started a practice life of more than 300 years in the ancient temple on the mountain under the name of Zhou Xuanyu——

At the beginning of the days on the mountain, it was really hard. I got up to go to the big class at the right time, and after the end of the day, I picked up water and practiced swordsmanship. At night, I had to turn off the lights and go to bed.It's really boring, but how can this kind of life restrain Xuan Yu who is restless?After getting acquainted with the environment, he began to urge his brothers to have fun together in different ways.Mischief is something Xuan Yu is extremely good at. From the master's meditation room, down to the bird's nest and animal den in the forest, as long as he appears, there is no peace, so that later, Xuan Yu naturally became one of the disciples. Recognized as "the king of children".

For this reason, the master has caused a lot of headaches. Fortunately, although Xuan Yu looks lazy and mischievous on the outside, and has a cynical attitude towards everything, he is still good-hearted and responsible in essence. , as long as it is something that is entrusted to him, he can perfectly solve it all.What's more, Xuan Yu is smart, sensitive and eager to learn, he can learn everything at once, so the master is quite satisfied with him.

When it comes to other senior brothers, Meng Su has to be mentioned. Meng Su didn't come to apprentice until more than ten years after Xuan Yu went up the mountain.

This person has a thin figure, an immature face, and is a head shorter than Xuan Yu. Although he is a male deer, he has not grown antlers so far, and his hair is an unhealthy brown. Just a silly roe deer.

Therefore, after he went up the mountain, his brothers often made fun of him and laughed at him in every possible way.Originally, the master gave him the word: Zhuo Mo, but because everyone felt that this name did not match, so few people called him by it, but most of them called him Meng Su.

Meng Su is usually naive, so he is not angry about it, nor does he mind it.He was originally a person who seldom spoke and had a very gentle temper.But only with the lively and cheerful Xuan Yu are best friends, the two are often inseparable.

The real life of Moon Shadow is also very simple. He takes his disciples to lecture on scriptures, drinks, and wanders around when he has nothing to do.When there is a task sent by the heaven, I will take my disciples to subdue the demon, or solve some abnormal events in the human world.He enjoyed this carefree life so much that he didn't want to stay in the sky to be on duty after his ascension, and only wanted to return to the human world to be a loose fairy.Because of this, Wuqing Peak has become the reserve power of the heavens, with the mission of cultivating new talents, inheriting the experience of Taoism, and teaching people and beasts to cultivate goodness.

In the blink of an eye, nearly 400 years have passed, Xuan Yu and other disciples are about to usher in three disasters, so they are naturally very nervous and restless.Master has also put a lot of thought into everyone's cultivation base. Over the past few years, senior brothers have succeeded in crossing the catastrophe one after another. Now there are only seven or eight "old people" who are still here, and there are some apprentices who just went up the mountain little kids.

As they grow older, these "elderly people" like Xuan Yu are much more mature and stable than when they were young. They usually help the master to teach the juniors and handle chores at home.Leisure and entertainment projects have also become occasional walks in the human world.

In other words, today's human world is really different from hundreds of years ago. With the rapid development of science and technology, there should not be too many entertainment items. Even the young ladies in the human world are better at dressing up than people in the past. They are all so beautiful. Can't move.Every time they go down the mountain, they always linger and forget to return. Although practitioners should not be controlled by these materialistic desires, they can still relieve everyone's uneasy mood by going out to play during the critical period before the three disasters. Master is also open about this. Close your eyes and don't care about them...

Xuan Yu slowly woke up from the memory, he turned over and thought, he was about to start the next journey——

The three-day period is coming soon.

At the time of Chen, a fairy official led by E Guan Bo floated down from the sky in front of the main hall on auspicious clouds. Xuan Yu and Meng Su had been waiting here for a long time. They bowed together and said: "I have met the lord Xianguan. These two are the disciples recommended by my family. I hope the Xianguan will give you more advice in the future."

"Where there is, the looks of the two of you are not ordinary, and you will have a bright future in the future, not to mention the proud disciple of the real Moon Shadow, that will be unmatched by me in the future."

After finishing speaking, the immortal official cupped his hands and bowed to everyone in return, saying: "The auspicious time has come, you two, please come with me~"

The auspicious clouds floated up and rolled up Xuan Yu and Meng Su. The two bid farewell to all the brothers and sisters. Above the clouds, the three of them rose slowly. The brothers waved their hands and silently wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes with their sleeves.

Seeing the fading figure of the senior brother and the ancient temple shrinking into a black spot, the two of them also had tears in their eyes, reluctant to part.
