Under One Person: From Nascent Soul to Great Sacred Body

"Good, good, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

"Now that I'm back, I won't go out anymore."

"I heard from your father that things are in chaos outside."

Zhao's mother held Jingming in her arms, her body trembling with excitement.

In recent days, news of independence movements has been coming from various places, which has worried Zhao's mother to death.

What is independence?

To an ordinary person like Zhao's mother, this was tantamount to rebellion; rebellions were happening all over the country!

"Okay, listen to mother."

"By the way, where is Father?"

Jingming nodded slightly, then asked.

"Your dad and Dog Egg's dad are having tea outside."

"There's not much trouble around here."

Upon hearing Jingming's question, Zhao's mother explained, and then took Jingming's hand and walked into the courtyard.

"Xiao Cui, go and bring the brazier over."

"To get rid of bad luck."

"Also, make sure the kitchen has food ready. Look how thin you've become in less than a year since you left home."

Zhao's mother held Jingming's hand and kept talking.

Jingming simply smiled and let Zhao's mother lead him.

"Mom, where's Gou Dan?"

"Why didn't I hear that guy making all that noise?"

Only after Zhao's mother had finished speaking did Jingming speak.

"That child was sent by his father to some sect called Sanyi Sect to cultivate some time ago."

"If he knew you were back, he'd jump for joy."

Hearing Jingming's words, Zhao's mother smiled and pulled Jingming to sit down in a chair.

"I'm not reading this damn book anymore."

"The Qing Dynasty is about to collapse, what's the point of taking the imperial examination to become the top scholar?"

"Father won't agree."

Upon hearing Zhao's mother's words, Jingming couldn't help but shake his head.

"Ha, what a dead old man. I'll talk to him when your father gets back!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao's mother couldn't help but complain about Zhao's father.

"By the way, Mother, during the time I was away, didn't you give me a younger brother or sister?"

Jingming smiled, then looked at Zhao's mother's abdomen.

Zhao's mother is only thirty-six years old now, and she adopted Jingming when she was twenty-nine.

However, right now, Jingming seems to be sensing a faint wisp of Qi inside Zhao's mother's belly.

"You really want a younger brother or sister that badly?"

Upon hearing Jingming's words, Zhao's mother blushed slightly.

She is indeed pregnant.

During this period, whenever she thought of Jingming, she would pull Zhao's father to have sex with her.

This is why Jingming didn't see Zhao's father when he returned.

He's hiding from Zhao's mother.

"Of course, otherwise I'd be so bored all by myself."

"That guy Li Gou Dan has two older brothers."

Jingming said with a smile.

"In a few months, you'll have a younger brother or sister."

Upon hearing this, Zhao's mother smiled and said.

Although she had always raised Jingming as her own son, this was the first time she had ever been pregnant for ten months!

"Haha, then I'll carry him around everywhere."

Jingming smiled, looking very happy.

"Zhu'er is back!?"

Just then, Zhao's father's incredulous voice rang out from outside.

Compared to Zhao's mother, Zhao's father knew more or less what Jingming was doing outside.

"father!"

Seeing Zhao's father run into the room, Jingming grinned, ran up to him, and bowed to him.

"Your son is unfilial and has caused your father worry."

Jingming said in a low voice.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Looking at Jingming standing in front of him, Zhao's father suppressed his trembling and nodded slightly.

"It's a pity you came back at the wrong time. That brat Mu Xuan has already gone to the Sanyi Sect."

"It's okay, we can just go to Sanyi Gate to visit him later."

Hearing Zhao's father's words, Jingming smiled and said.

He originally planned to go home first and then go to the Sanyi Gate.

"You're going to Sanyi Gate?"

Upon hearing Jingming's words, Zhao's father showed a surprised expression.

He knew that Zuo Ruotong had expelled Jingming from the Sanyi Sect.

"Yes, I'll go in a while."

"By the way, Father, are you planning to send me abroad to study when our sect is established?"

Jingming nodded and said.

"Go where?"

"You're not allowed to go there!"

"Xiao Cui said the kitchen has already prepared the food, let's eat!"

Before Zhao's father could answer Jingming's question, Zhao's mother interrupted their conversation.

The father and son exchanged a glance, then smiled and walked toward the dining table.

There's no rush to go to Sanyi Gate.

Ten days later, perhaps because she saw Jingming every day and was already showing her pregnancy, Zhao's mother's attention was diverted.

After agreeing, Jingming, accompanied by two servants, headed towards the Sanyi Gate.

Five days later, Jingming arrived at the gate of Sanyi Mountain.

First, the two went to the entrance of the Trinity Gate, which is also the outermost building.

"Master Daoist, please inform them that the Zhao family from Rongcheng have come to visit us on the mountain."

One of Jingming's assistants stepped forward and greeted a man in a plain robe who approached.

"Please wait."

Upon hearing the servant's words, the man glanced at Jingming, nodded in acknowledgment, and then turned and walked towards the inner gate of the mountain.

Most children of this age have taken on apprenticeships.

About three incense sticks' time later, several figures appeared one after another in Jingming's sight.

"Uncle-Master Si Chong, Senior Brother Cheng Zhen, Senior Brother Shui Yun, it's been a long time!"

Seeing the people appear in front of him, Jingming couldn't help but wave and greet them.

"It really is you, Jingming!"

Looking at Jingming appearing in front of him, Si Chong stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

If I remember correctly, the form in which Jingming finally appeared before me was that of an adult.

How come she's turned back into a child again?

If it's a method of transformation, then it's still a body reassembled from pieces of a corpse.
