My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1062 Worry

In the evening, the train slowly pulled into the terminal. Passengers got off the train one after another, and Ling Xue and Zhou Xing began to patrol the carriages to make sure no items were lost or passengers were asleep. Although their work was over, the communication between the two became more in-depth. They would discuss the problems encountered at work together, share their respective methods of dealing with them, and learn and grow from them.

As night fell, the station gradually became quiet. Ling Xue and Zhou Xing walked out of the station together. Their shadows were very long under the moonlight. They knew that tomorrow was another new day, and new challenges were waiting for them. But no matter when, they would stand shoulder to shoulder and face it together, because they were not only colleagues, but also partners in the same boat, experiencing the trials of the mortal world together, and moving towards true ascension together.

During the ascension of Ling Xue and Zhou Xing, two practitioners of the Hao Qing Sect, they faced the 65th tribulation. In this test, Ling Xue became the owner of an old spicy hot pot shop in an alley, while Zhou Xing became the owner of a newly opened northeastern barbecue restaurant across the street. The competition between the two shops became their main challenge.
-

Ling Xue’s Malatang restaurant is an old but nostalgic little shop with a string of weathered red lanterns hanging in front of the door, and the wooden tables and chairs inside the store exude traces of time.
-

The Northeastern BBQ restaurant opposite has modern decoration, bright lights in the large glass windows, and flickering flames on the grill, attracting the attention of passers-by.
-

Ling Xue starts preparing a variety of fresh ingredients every morning. She insists on making various seasonings and soup bases by hand to ensure the taste of the food.
-

Zhou Xing's barbecue restaurant uses mechanized operations to process ingredients quickly and efficiently, and often introduces new flavors to attract young people.
-

Ling Xue often chats with regular customers. There is always laughter and conversation in her shop, and customers like to feel at home here.
-

Zhouhang's barbecue restaurant is mostly frequented by busy office workers and young students who like to eat quickly and try new foods.
-

To save the business, Ling Xue started offering takeaway service and introduced some healthy and low-fat ma la tang options to attract health-conscious customers.
-

Zhouhang uses social media for promotion and organizes barbecue parties and special festival events to attract more young people and social groups.
-

Although Ling Xue felt uncomfortable with Zhou Xing's new way of traveling, she began to think about the possibility of combining tradition with innovation.
-

Zhou Xing admired Ling Xue's persistence and unique business philosophy in his heart, and felt empty about his own mechanized operations.

Through this experience, the two not only grew in business, but also gained new understanding and knowledge at the spiritual and soul level. They learned how to absorb each other's strengths while maintaining their own characteristics, and finally transformed competition into cooperation, jointly improving the popularity and business of the two stores, and deepening their mutual understanding and friendship.

Ling Xue, wearing a floral apron and with her hair tied up high, skillfully flipped the skewers on the grill, the oil dripping onto the charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound. Her face looked particularly gentle under the light of the fire, occasionally looking up and smiling at the customers waiting in line, asking in authentic Northeastern dialect, "Do you want it spicy or slightly spicy?"

Zhou Xing was busy on the side, responsible for cutting meat, skewering meat, collecting money and maintaining order in the store. His technique was very neat, and each piece of meat was cut evenly and properly. He was even more particular about skewering it, with fat and lean meat interlaced, ensuring that every bite had the best taste. Although he was sweating profusely, Zhou Xing always had a smile on his face, patiently communicating with customers, and occasionally making a few jokes, making the waiting atmosphere relaxed and pleasant.

The business in the store was extremely hot, and Ling Xue and Zhou Xing hardly stopped for a moment. They worked in perfect harmony, as if the couple had been running the store together for many years. Whenever an old customer came, Ling Xue would always greet them warmly, and Zhou Xing would hand them a glass of cool beer, making them feel at home.

As the night went on, the customers gradually became few, and Ling Xue and Zhou Xing began to clean up the store and prepare to close. They would sit on the small stools at the door of the store, enjoying a moment of tranquility, chatting, reviewing the busy day, and sometimes talking about some things during their cultivation, as if in this ordinary world, they still maintained their immortal temperament.

In the legend of Haoqing Sect, the road to ascension is full of mystery and challenges. Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing, two monks with firm faith, embarked on this road of no return side by side. They knew that there were eighty-one difficult challenges ahead, and each challenge would test their wisdom and courage.

The 63rd level is particularly special. It not only tests their cultivation, but also their adaptability and survival wisdom. In this level, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing are transformed into a tabby cat and a golden retriever by mysterious power. Their human memories and wisdom are preserved, but their bodies are completely transformed into animals.

When the end of the world came, the city had become a ruin, high-rise buildings collapsed, roads were cracked, and weeds grew everywhere. The traces of human civilization almost disappeared, leaving only desolation and silence. Ling Xue and Zhou Xing used the bodies of animals to find a way to survive in this desolate world.

As a tabby cat, Ling Xue is agile and resourceful. She shuttles between the ruins, catching mice and birds to maintain her life. Her green eyes scan the surroundings vigilantly, always ready to avoid possible dangers. Her mottled fur blends in with the apocalyptic environment, making her a master of the art of survival.

During their ascension, Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing unexpectedly found themselves in the railway system of modern society and became two train ticket inspectors. This is a brand new world for them, and they need to adapt to a series of modern lifestyles while performing the duties of train ticket inspectors.

In this new world, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing were assigned to work on the same busy railway line. Every day, they would wear neat uniforms and work badges and stand in the bustling station. Sister Ling Xue always kept a gentle smile and carefully checked every ticket with her trained eyes to confirm that the passenger's itinerary was correct. Her movements were graceful and quick, and she could remain patient and polite even during rush hour.

Junior Brother Zhou Xing showed more of his wit and agility. Not only was he able to process tickets quickly, he also often skillfully guided passengers to vacant carriages, effectively alleviating the congestion. His humor and enthusiasm often brought a sense of relaxation and joy to the tired passengers.

Although their work seems ordinary, they both understand that every disaster is a test of their will and teamwork. They need to rely on each other's trust and support to face various challenges in their work together.

Amid the roar of the train, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing's mutual understanding grew stronger day by day. They learned how to find a rhythm in a fast-paced work, how to solve emergencies in a short time, and more importantly, how to maintain a calm and focused mind of a practitioner in the hustle and bustle of modern life.

As time went by, the two gradually adapted to this kind of life. Their daily work was no longer a monotonous task, but became part of their practice. Every day's work was an exercise in self-control and patience. They began to enjoy the small sense of accomplishment brought by this job, as well as the responsibility of helping others and keeping them safe.

As the train traveled from one station to another, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing passed through their hearts and minds. They gradually understood the joys and sorrows of the mortal world and learned to use ordinary characters to experience extraordinary life, thus enriching their path of practice.

In the 65th tribulation, Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing are placed in a challenging modern urban environment. Ling Xue becomes the owner of an old spicy hot pot restaurant in an alley, while Zhou Xing becomes the owner of a newly opened northeastern barbecue restaurant across the street. The daily scenes of the two in this modern background may be as follows:

In the early morning, the alley was filled with a light mist. Ling Xue came to her spicy hot pot shop early and got busy. She wiped each table to make sure the shop was clean, and then began to stew various ingredients to prepare for the day's business. As the soup base gradually boiled, the rich aroma began to drift in the alley, attracting early risers. The Northeast barbecue restaurant opposite also began to get busy. Junior Brother Zhou Xing was skillfully grilling various skewers of meat and vegetables. Amid the smoke and fire, his shop also exuded an attractive aroma. The competition between the two stores made the originally quiet alley bustling.

At noon, the flow of people in the alley gradually increased. Ling Xue's spicy hot pot restaurant attracted a group of loyal customers because of its authentic taste and affordable price. However, since the opening of the Northeastern barbecue restaurant opposite, many diners were attracted by the novel barbecue, and the business of the spicy hot pot restaurant began to be affected.

Ling Xue stood at the door of the store, looking at the long line in front of Zhou Xing's barbecue restaurant across the street, feeling a little anxious. She tried to introduce new dishes and promotions to attract customers, but the effect was not obvious.

In the evening, Ling Xue sat in the store, quietly observing the situation on the street. She noticed that Zhou Xing would occasionally look towards her store while busy, and their eyes met in the air, and they could feel each other's pressure and challenge.

At night, the alley gradually quieted down. Ling Xue and Zhou Xing were doing the final cleaning work in their own shops. They knew that tomorrow was another new day, and the competition and challenges would continue. But in this special process of overcoming the tribulation, they were also learning how to adapt to changes and how to find a way to survive and develop in the competition.

Zhou Xingze transformed into a strong golden retriever, with an extremely sharp intuition, able to sniff out food and water hidden in the ruins. His golden hair glittered in the sun, becoming a bright spot in the apocalypse. He loyally guarded Ling Xue, using his barking to drive away approaching danger.

In this world without humans, they learned how to get along with other animals and how to find their place in the laws of nature. Although their days were full of hardships, they were also full of warmth and fun. During an expedition, they found an unspoiled small garden with flowers still blooming, as if it was the best reward for their persistence and courage.

As night fell, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing huddled together to keep each other warm. The apocalypse under the starry sky was not as prosperous as before, but it had a primitive tranquility. They knew in their hearts that as long as they depended on each other, no matter how great the difficulties were, they could get through it together.

This level is not only a test of their bodies, but also a baptism of their souls. After experiencing countless challenges and difficulties, they cherish each other's company more and believe more firmly that as long as there is love and hope in their hearts, they can find the way to light.

Although the 61st level of the tribulation was full of oil smoke and sweat, it was a rare opportunity for Ling Xue and Zhou Xing to experience the world and enhance their feelings for each other. They run this barbecue restaurant with heart, warming the hearts of every customer with sincere smiles and delicious food, and at the same time, unknowingly, they have trained their character and will.

Ling Xue works in a Michelin three-star restaurant in Paris, France. She is known for her exquisite French cooking skills and delicate sense of ingredients.

In the sixty-sixth tribulation of ascension, Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing were arranged to become a pair of train ticket inspectors. Their main responsibilities were to ensure that passengers could find their seats smoothly and handle ticket-related matters.

Ling Xue and Zhou Xing were wearing neat uniforms, with their epaulettes shining, looking competent and professional. Holding ticket checking machines, they walked along the crowded carriage, carefully checking every passenger's ticket. The train swayed with the rhythm of the rails, the lights in the carriage were soft, and the scenery outside the window was receding rapidly like a movie scene.

Ling Xue, with a warm smile, patiently helped passengers who couldn't find their seats. Her gentle voice and decent manners always made people feel at ease. Zhou Xing, with his steady attitude, handled the situation of ticket discrepancies or loss. Although he didn't talk much, every explanation was clear and convincing.

During their long working hours, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing had a better understanding of each other. They learned how to cooperate with each other in a busy environment. For example, when a carriage was particularly crowded, they would divide the work, one responsible for checking tickets and the other for answering passengers' questions, which greatly improved their efficiency.

During breaks, the two would share a cup of hot tea in the small lounge at the end of the carriage and exchange their work experiences and daily life stories. In this environment, their relationship gradually deepened, from colleagues to friends. Through the window, they could see the changing scenery of the four seasons, which became the most pleasant moment in their work.

However, work is not always smooth sailing. Occasionally, there are passengers who are difficult to communicate with, or unexpected situations, such as ticket system failures. In these times, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing always stay calm and use their wisdom and patience to solve problems. Their professional attitude is often appreciated by passengers.

As train ticket inspectors, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing's daily work is ordinary, but they serve every passenger with heart and ensure the orderly operation of the train. Although this job is small, it is also an important part of their spiritual practice.
