When arriving at the Temple of Please.

Looking from a distance, outside the palace gate, there is an old woman with white hair, sawing wood leisurely.

Seeing the person coming, she raised her head slightly and said with a smile: "Xiao Xu is back."

After saying that, he glanced at Zhang Heng behind him and said, "This is Ah Heng, he looks quite energetic."

"Uncle Master."

Xu Zhenren took two quick steps to pick up the old woman's saw: "Just let us do this kind of thing."

"You guys are clumsy and all have monkey tempers. I'd better do it myself."

The old woman held the saw and her tone was full of joy: "Don't underestimate this wood. This is the wood that I have selected on the mountain for a long time. For it, I have been chanting scriptures in front of the big tree for forty-nine days. Take it.

It is most suitable to make a coffin."

Hear the sound.

Xu Zhenren's eyes showed sadness, and he turned to Zhang Heng and said: "This is your great uncle of Ziyan Master and the current palace master of my Qingshen lineage."

"Disciple Zhang Heng, pay homage to my great uncle."

Zhang Heng bowed and saluted.

"Okay, I don't have that many rules."

Master Ziyan smiled kindly, and then said: "Go and move two stools into the house and sit with me, an old woman, for a while."

Zhang Heng went to move the stool.

When the two sat down, Master Ziyan continued: "My good day is coming soon. The specific time will be at seven o'clock in the evening forty-two days later."

"Master-uncle..."

Xu Zhenren's eyes were filled with tears and he was a little choked with sobs.

Master Ziyan smiled, and touched Master Xu's head with his hand as if touching a child: "You don't have to feel sorry for me. My affairs have been arranged long ago. The only regret is that there is nothing I can do about it."

Watching the next generation of disciples grow up with my own eyes."

After saying that, he looked at Zhang Heng and waved to him.

Zhang Heng walked over and squatted in front of Master Zi Yan.

Master Ziyan touched his head and nodded with a smile: "There will be successors, and there will be successors."

"Uncle Master, I made tea for you."

A voice came from behind.

Zhang Heng looked back and saw Bai Hanting coming with a teapot and pouring tea for Master Ziyan with a cute look on her face.

"This little guy is great. With her as my companion these past few months, time has gone by so fast."

Master Ziyan seemed to like Bai Hanting very much. After speaking, he did not forget to tell the two of them: "In the future, when I am gone, you should take more care of her. If possible, let her worship under your sect and serve as Ah Heng."

Just a junior sister."

Xu Zhenren quickly responded: "Uncle Master, don't worry."

"What about you, would you like to have more junior sisters?"

Master Ziyan asked Zhang Heng again.

Zhang Heng replied: "Uncle Master, I am willing."

"well."

Master Ziyan was very satisfied. He pulled Bai Hanting in front of him and used his hands to close the hair that was stuck to her face due to sweat: "This is a good child, and he is also smart. He looks a bit like I did when I first went up the mountain. See

She, I don’t even feel old.”

Xu Zhenren and Zhang Heng looked at each other.

Right now, Ziyan's deadline is approaching, and it is both joyful and sad to be able to meet a cute little girl at this time.

"Hanting, how old are you this year?"

Zhang Heng looked at Bai Hanting.

"Senior brother, I am ten years old this year."

Bai Hanting looked at him carefully, with a forced-to-please expression on her face, which made people feel distressed.

Zhang Heng knew the origin of this expression.

Only when the world is not tolerant to you, will you try to please everyone with a smile on your face.

This is the way of survival for the humble. On the contrary, if you are strong enough, you don’t need to smile at anyone, because they will smile at you.

"Ten years old is the right age to study hard."

Zhang Heng warned: "Study hard with Master Shenhui. Once you're done, come and be my junior sister. That way you don't have to please others anymore."

Hear this.

Bai Hanting didn't know what she thought of, but she actually said: "Is it like senior brother?"

Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Just like senior brother."

Has Zhang Heng ever tried to please others?

No.

He is just filial, and filial piety to elders is what he should do.

When it comes to trying to please him, that's not really the case. On the contrary, it's Qian Zhenren and Mama Di who always like to pick up what he likes to hear. They look like Gao Qiu and Qin Hui.

"Speaking of which, your ancestor was also unlucky and left in his early forties."

"At that time, your uncle Qian and I were only teenagers. It was your uncle Ziyan who taught us. We are said to be uncles, but in fact they are almost the same as masters."

"It's a pity that good people don't live long. Your uncle is only in his early seventies this year, and he is a true cultivator. It's a pity that the year is over, and his life is over. He can't even watch your generation grow up.

, it’s really God’s fault.”

Come back from Zi Yan Zhenren.

Along the way, Mr. Xu had many emotions.

"Master." Zhang Heng admonished from the side: "Master Ziyan's uncle has completed his merits and went to the underworld to enjoy his blessings. You don't have to worry too much."

"That's what I say, but who can not be hurt by separation?"

Xu Zhenren shook his head and suggested to Zhang Heng: "I'll spend more time talking to your uncle these days. Don't always think about going to Daozang Hall to read. Later, the Cave Heaven Paradise will be opened, and you will have plenty of time to read there."

"Yes, Master."

Zhang Heng agreed, and then he couldn't help but ask: "Master, this time the Cave Heaven Paradise is opened, am I the only one who can go in?"

Xu Zhenren nodded: "Right now, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has collapsed. It is difficult for a single tree to become a forest. The Cave Heaven Paradise cannot absorb enough spiritual energy. Just like the machines in your factory, they can only operate at overload. Over time, they are on the verge of collapse. This time let

If you go in, you are already fighting the consequences of the collapse of the blessed land. No matter how many people there are, I'm afraid it won't be able to bear it."

Zhang Heng asked again: "If I go in, how long can I stay in there? After I go in, will I never be able to come out?"

Xu Zhenren thought for a while and said: "It's best not to come out after entering, because every time the Cave Heaven Paradise is opened, the spiritual energy will leak out."

"As for how long I can stay, I think it won't be more than half a year."

"In the past, people would stay for a year when opening the Heavenly Cave, but things are different from the past. If you can persist for half a year, I'm afraid it's the ancestor's merit. If it's less, it's only four or five months."

Zhang Heng thought for a while.

A tenfold increase in spiritual energy cultivation for four to five months is considered a promising achievement.

This way, he can save several years of work. He entered the Tao relatively late and is currently in the middle stage of Qi training.

Enter the Cave Heaven Paradise for some further training, and when you come out, you should be in the late stage of Qi training, or have completed your Qi training. This kind of cultivation will not embarrass you as the Chief.

After all, Aqiang, the disciple of Uncle Mamadi, is in the later stages of Qi training. How can he, a senior, be worse than his junior?

Years are not remembered in the mountains.

During the day, I would chat with Ziyan Zhenren and watch the sunrise and sunset. In the evening, I would read a few Taoist books. Occasionally I would go to greet my uncles and uncles and watch the little guys playing around on the mountain.

,time flies.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

Time came to the beginning of March, and there were still twelve days before the deadline for Master Ziyan. However, Zhang Heng could not wait for Master Ziyan's deadline because the sect decided to open the Cave Heaven Paradise today.

"After death, people will look ugly."

"Old lady, I have nothing to see. Things in the Cave Heaven and Paradise are more important. When it comes to filial piety, don't let Maoshan decline in your hands. This is the greatest filial piety to the old lady."

Before leaving, Master Ziyan came to see him off.

Perhaps it was because the deadline was approaching, and when the light came back, Master Ziyan's face turned red, and he didn't look like a dying person at all.

Even before Zhang Heng was about to enter the cave, he secretly stuffed three boiled eggs into him.

Zhang Heng looked at it in astonishment, and saw Master Zi Yan blinking at him, as if to say: "Eat, this is what my uncle hid and specially left for you."
