w.a.n.g baole murmured softly. Chen Yunluo and his wife could not hear his voice. Only the child looked at w.a.n.g Baole in surprise. He could hear it, and although he did not understand it, for some reason, in the depths of his heart, at that moment.., a heat current that was both unfamiliar and familiar appeared.
The heat current was very hot. It filled his heart, his body, and his soul. It was as if at that moment, the first snowfall of the year that had fallen between heaven and earth had become warm.
It was as if the Dao elder before him made him feel safe and at ease.
It was as if the figure before him made him miss and want to be by his side.
Amidst the warmth, Chen Yunluo and his wife also felt w.a.n.g Baole’s kindness and recognition. They were also affected by the warmth that permeated the surroundings. They were delighted. They bowed gratefully to w.a.n.g Baole and left with Xiaotong.
!!
Before leaving, Xiaotong, who was held by his father, turned his head three times.
Finally, when he turned his head for the third time, Xiaotong could not help but speak loudly to the figure in the Daoist Temple.
“Daoist priest, have we… met before?”
His sudden voice made Chen Yunluo and his wife nervous. However, the reprimanding gaze from his father and the nervous expression from his mother did not make Xiaotong turn around. He continued to look at the Daoist temple as if he was waiting for an answer.
“Greetings…”w.a.n.g Baole smiled and nodded heavily, muttering to himself.
“In your previous life.”
“Alright.”The child’s eyes were a little lost. However, he was still a child, and he quickly recovered. With his parents’apology and w.a.n.g Baole’s gentle smile, the family of three walked further and further away.
Vaguely, Chen Yunluo’s lecturing voice could be heard in the wind.
From Afar, the sky was gray. More and more snowflakes fell on the city. It was as if the city had been dressed in a long white robe. It was elegant and elegant. Outside the Daoist Temple, Chen Yunluo’s family of three.., their figures slowly blurred in the snowstorm.
In the Daoist Temple, w.a.n.g Baole stood by the door, holding a broom in his hand. He raised his head and stared. The smile on his face gradually grew. When the snowflakes covered the world in front of him, his body and soul seemed to sublimate in the snowstorm.
The snowstorm lasted for a month. To the mortals of some worlds, a month of continuous snow might cause disasters. However, to the immortal dipper continent, this was a very normal occurrence.
The snow continued to fall, but it didn’t hinder the children’s enlightenment. Every morning, the children of the Daoist Temple would rush over within a limited time to listen to the Daoist priest’s sermon in the Daoist Temple.
Chen Qing was one of them.
He liked his companions by his side, the two girls at the next table, but he liked the usually gentle Daoist priest even more.
w.a.n.g Baole’s sermon wasn’t much different from that of the other Daoist temples. It was all about the insights gained from cultivation. These truths were difficult to describe with simple words that the children could understand. However, his body was constantly exuding dao charm.
Under the influence of this dao charm, even if these children were unable to fully understand it, they were still in a state of confusion, leaving it deep in their memories. In the future, as they grew up and cultivated.., the insights gained from Enlightenment and the dao charm would become a bright lamp for their cultivation.
This bright lamp was exceptionally bright in Chen Qing’s heart.
He was very curious as to why his fellow Daoists didn’t understand what he was saying. From what he could hear, the gentle Daoist priest seemed to be able to understand every single word he said.
And so, days pa.s.sed. One year went by in the process of enlightenment.
Chen Qing was now six years old.
Compared to the other children, from that year onward, Chen Qing would frequently ask his own questions, and the gentle Daoist priest would answer them, his eyes s.h.i.+ning with encouragement.
This filled Chen Qing with antic.i.p.ation for his cultivation. At the same time, he gained more and more enlightenment regarding the dao rhythm. At the same time… as his companions, the other children also benefited.
“Dao Master, why is there spiritual energy in Heaven and earth?”
“Because plants, animals, you, me, Heaven and earth, and all living things have spiritual energy. Therefore, this universe… naturally has spiritual energy. This spiritual energy is its aura.”
“Daoist priest, what is the Dao?”
“The DAO is not important. For example, Chen Qing, you can go home. There are many paths to take, and each path can be different. For example, the DAO is different. Going home is the most important. Therefore, the Dao… from what I understand, is the path you choose after you have a direction.”
“Daoist priest, what if the direction you choose doesn’t have a path?”
w.a.n.g Baole looked deeply at Chen Qing and replied softly, “Then, open up a path for yourself to return home.”.
Chen Qing seemed to be deep in thought. He still had many questions. Time pa.s.sed, and another year pa.s.sed. Chen Qing was already seven years old. After all the questions in his heart had been answered, on the day of his seventh birthday.., he became spiritually enlightened.
The ultimate goal of a child’s enlightenment was to become spiritually enlightened. It was as if they had grasped a strand of the aura of the universe and made it a part of themselves. Generally speaking, most children would be spiritually enlightened when they were seven or eight years old, they would be spiritually enlightened in the Daoist Temple.
The time of day and night didn’t actually represent their apt.i.tude.
Chen Qing’s spirituality was also slightly different. During the two years of Enlightenment, w.a.n.g Baole had already left the Dark Dao in his heart. His future choices would depend on Chen Qing’s own choices.
It was the same day that w.a.n.g Baole gave Chen Qing a birthday present.
It was… an illusory ball of nine suns and a similarly illusory mark. The mark was like the Moon.
It floated beside Chen Qing. It was also winter on this day. Just like when he had first arrived, the first snowfall had begun.
Amidst the snowstorm, Chen Qing looked at the Nine Suns and moon marks around him. Confusion appeared in his eyes as he looked at w.a.n.g Baole.
“Choose one. It will be your first path in this life.”
Chen Qing was silent. He looked around, then at w.a.n.g Baole. He hesitated for a moment.
“Can I follow you?”
w.a.n.g Baole smiled. He patted Chen Qing’s head and said softly.
“But I have something to do very soon. So, choose one first and wait for me to return.”
Chen Qing nodded happily. He swept his gaze across the nine suns and the Moon seal around him. He grabbed the moon seal in his hand.
“Then I’ll pick this one first.”
As he made his choice, a long laugh rang out from the heavens. Situ’s figure materialized in the sky and walked over step by step. Amidst the clouds behind him, nine vast figures could be seen. They sighed and nodded at w.a.n.g Baole, after w.a.n.g Baole returned the greeting with a smile, they left one after another.
Only Situ took large strides and landed beside w.a.n.g Baole and Chen Qing. He laughed heartily.
“Baole, Chen Qing’s judgment has far surpa.s.sed yours. I haven’t taken in any disciples in many years. I barely managed to take in half of them back then, and I managed to produce a supreme-being just so-so.”Situ’s laughter was loud and clear, w.a.n.g Baole laughed as well. Then, his expression turned serious as he bowed deeply towards situ.
“Thank you for your trouble, Senior.”
“Don’t worry, I’m here. Chen Qing, let’s go.”As he spoke, Situ waved his hand, sweeping Chen Qing up into the sky.
“Daoist priest…”Chen Qing’s reluctant voice rang out from the sky. In his eyes, the Daoist temple was shrinking, and so was the city. Only the gentle Daoist priest, who had waved his hand, remained.
“Don’t be reluctant, Kid. Your junior brother has something to take care of. He’ll probably be back soon,”situ said with a smile.
“My Junior Brother?”Chen Qing was taken aback.
“That’s right. I don’t Dare Be Your Number One master. I can only be considered half of one. You’re a disciple that w.a.n.g Baole accepted on behalf of his master. He’s willing to make you his senior brother. So, Kid, you have to work hard in your cultivation.”
“Uh…”Chen Qing was once again at a loss. Just as he was about to speak, his gaze landed on a city that was already imperceptible and growing further and further away.
In the Dao Temple, the wind and snow were still blowing. w.a.n.g Baole stood there and stared at his senior brother’s disappearing figure. The snowflakes that fell from the sky and landed on the ground seemed to have landed in w.a.n.g Baole’s heart as well. They formed circles of ripples that gradually spread out, it enveloped his body and soul.
After a long, long time, w.a.n.g Baole’s smile grew warmer. He turned around and walked into the distance, one step at a time..
In my previous life, you stood in front of me, s.h.i.+elding me from the wind and rain at the beginning of my cultivation. You prevented the cold wind from freezing my body and the rain from drenching my soul.
No matter how I walked on the path of my life, your figure would always be at the top, silently watching me. You would reach out in times of crisis and dissolve into nothingness, allowing me to walk very smoothly and happily.
Because, I am your junior brother.
Because, you are my senior brother.
Your tall figure, in my eyes, is like a big tree. Most of the time, you are not even like a senior brother, more like a master, but also more like my true elder brother.
I can not forget your first appearance, a green robe, a gourd of wine, a wooden sword. In the elegant long hair, like a sword, like an immortal, out of the mortal world, extraordinary.
I could not forget the back of your departing figure. Your Green Robe had turned black, the gourd had become tainted wine, and the wooden sword had spots. Everything was bleak and desolate.
I looked at you, and you melted into nothingness. I knew that you were seeking your own dao, and also… testing the path of destruction for your worthless junior brother.
As I looked at you, my mind unconsciously recalled the path of cultivation in that life. There was your love for me, your protection for me, your kindness for me, and your smile for me.
Chen Qing, Chen Qing.
“In this life, I will protect you
“In this life, I will bring you into the Dao
“In this life, I will still be your junior brother
