Xiaoyaoshanjun

Jingyin said goodbye to everyone on the mountain, took the storage bag and walked down the mountain.

He walked very quickly, using only his inner energy and physical strength to quickly go down the mountain path.

As she walked, Shizune recalled her childhood.

When she was a child, Shizue often jogged behind the black rabbit and the gray rabbit, and exercised with the two rabbit sisters.

Although he did not learn magic and many of the rabbits' abilities, his body was much stronger than those of his senior and junior brothers.

If I think about it carefully, I haven't learned anything from following Black Rabbit and Gray Rabbit for all these years. Many of my reading and writing skills were taught by my master and senior brothers and sisters.

If I had to say who helped her the most in her growth process besides her master Yuraiko, Shizune would still think it was Black Rabbit and Gray Rabbit.

Black Rabbit and Gray Rabbit often called him to go out and play. When he was a child, when he was meditating in the room with Yu Lei Zi, his favorite thing was that Black Rabbit took Gray Rabbit to the door and waved at him to go out and play together.

Yu Lei Zi would usually agree, and as she grew older, Jing Yin no longer liked playing with two little rabbits who didn't know what they were doing, so she quietly studied Taoism beside her master.

"Tao Fa is natural..."

Jingyin paused, standing in the mountain and contemplating this sacred mountain and Dharma land that she had traveled to since she was a child.

Soon, Jingyin's footsteps no longer hesitated, and she went straight down the mountain to Tian Mansion.

Jingyin was wearing the Taoist uniform of Leiming Peak in Yanxia Mountain. She looked young and had an extraordinary temperament. She would attract a lot of attention when she walked on the street.

The attention and prying eyes of these people made Jingyin unable to be natural.

Shizune learns to accept.

Just like accepting your father, your mother, your useless brother and sister-in-law, and your own background.

Soon Jingyin arrived at the door of the Tian family of Zhenguogong.

The guard in front of the gate saw Shizune coming and quickly came down.

"What can I do for you, Taoist?"

Jingyin smiled and said, "I am Tian Yuan. I am here to go down the mountain to do some work under the order of the headmaster. I want to borrow a fast horse to get around."

The guard said hurriedly, "It's the Second Young Master! I'm blind and don't know the real master. Please come in, Second Young Master. I'll go and inform the Madam right away."

Shizune smiled and said, "No problem."

The door opened quickly, and Jingyin entered the Duke's Mansion through the main door which was rarely opened.

He had just returned from the flood control mission, so the people in the mansion knew the second young master a little bit.

Soon, Dou Niang, Bai Lian, Lan He, Li Ha Zhen, Li Ha Shu, Xue Niang, and Xue Bei Bei came together.

When Dou Niang saw Tian Yuan coming back, she said happily, "It's been a while since we last met. I thought we would have to wait until next year or the year after next to see each other again. I didn't expect to see each other again."

Bai Lian also smiled and said, "You are a promising kid, unlike Tian Cong who is a loser and can't bear to practice Taoism."

Now Bai Lian’s chance of becoming an immortal is probably gone. Since her own son is not doing well for her, she naturally has to praise other people’s children.

Xue Beibei looked at Tian Yuan and sized her up and down for several times. "I didn't see you last time. I'm your stepmother, Xue Beibei. You have to call me stepmother, or you can call me little mother!"

Dou Niang said quickly: "Sister, don't joke like that. Although it's all true, Jingyin has been different from his father since he was a child. He has a different personality. Let's go out and play, so that Jingyin can have a good talk with her mother."

Bai Lian also nodded and said, "I am having someone prepare the horses and feed them some food first, so that they won't be unable to run on the road. Jingyin, please wait a little longer, so as not to delay things by being anxious."

Dou Niang said again: "That's right, why don't you just ask your father to use magic to take you there? Where did he want you to go?"

Li Hezhen didn't have time to talk to her son, and a group of sisters were helping to smooth things over. Jingyin said politely, "Don't worry, mothers. People who practice Taoism pay attention to their character. This time, the headmaster sent me to Songzhou for training. There must be a reason for letting me go there alone."

"I learned the thunder method of Thunder Peak, but I didn't practice the Taoist method of Sect Leader Tian, ​​but the Taoist method of Master Yu Leizi, so it is a little different."

Dou Niang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whose cultivation you are, they are all the head sect anyway. In any case, apart from your father, you are the most promising one in our family!"

Jingyin said politely: "It will take a lot of time to deliver the letter this time. The headmaster didn't ask me to come here to borrow a horse. I just came here to borrow a fast horse and leave."

No one forced him to come. Tian Buli just asked him to deliver the letter and asked Hei Tu to teach him the Taoist method of transportation.

However, Jingyin herself realized that her skills could not be wasted, so she chose to go home and borrow a horse to continue her journey. She did not show off her magic, nor did she use it indiscriminately.

Bai Lian said, "We are all family, so why would we not lend it to each other? Aren't all the gold and silver in our family reserved for our family? I have prepared two horses for you, you can take turns riding them on the road."

Li Hae-jeong looked at his son, who was becoming more polite. Although he seemed more willing to go home than before, he gave people the feeling that he was not a son but more like a visiting Taoist priest.

But the child has grown up after all. When there is a child like Tian Buli who doesn't come back for many years, Li Hezhen doesn't have high expectations for his son. He just hopes that he doesn't get into trouble.

"I'll give you some silver to spend on your journey. I often hear that there are many bad guys who specifically harm monks. Your father encountered them several times when he was young. You are probably not as capable as your father. If you encounter any problems, don't be afraid of losing face. If someone asks about your family background, just tell them the truth. Your father is well-known in the martial arts world, and it's not shameful to mention his name."

Shizune nodded and said, "Yes, thank you mother."

Li Ha Shu smiled and said, "Why thank you? Just accept it and say hello to us when you come back."

Shizune nodded, "I should go now."

Dou Niang and the others watched Shizune lead the horse out.

After Jingyin left, Xue Beibei asked curiously, "Why is that kid so dull? It's ok that he doesn't look like his father, but I remember that he played with four noisy little rabbits all day long. How could he be so dull?"

Dou Niang sighed, "When he was little, he lived with his father for a few years. When he was a little more knowledgeable, he was sent to the mountains to practice Taoism with an old Taoist priest. Our master started practicing Taoism when he was eighteen or nineteen years old, and his temperament has always been the same."

"I should have let Tian Yuan go to the water vein earlier!"

Bai Lian smiled and said, "If he had gone to the water vein, he might have been a failure in learning like my son. Although he is dull now, it seems that he has indeed cultivated Taoism. Let's ask him when the master comes back."

Li Hazhen nodded and sighed as if he was relieved.

"I'll be content if he can grow up peacefully and practice Taoism for the rest of his life."

Xue Beibei touched her chest and then her belly. "If I get pregnant, I will teach the son I give birth to. I will teach him the peerless swordsmanship and make him an invincible swordsman!"

Xue Niang reached out and tapped Xue Beibei on the head, "Dream on!"

Xue Beibei looked at Xue Niang with a smile, "Then I'll give you a chance in your next life~"

The group of women started laughing again, forgetting that Shizune had been there.

To Shizune, her mother was a stranger.

For the Li sisters, who have already achieved immortality and look younger than their son, their feelings for his son are actually fading.

Tao follows nature.

Just like shedding skin to grow up, just like one can only fly when wings are fully grown, just like one day when one grows up, one suddenly knows how to have children.

When it’s time to learn, you will learn it naturally.

When it is time to forget, you will naturally forget. (End of this chapter)
