Wen Shu was one of the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School. His full name was Wen Shu, the Heavenly Venerate Guangfa. His strength had developed completely. Among the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School, his Dharma powers, mystical abilities, and treasures were moderate.
However, in the Primordial World, that was already considered a great mystical ability.
At that moment, Wen Shu stood on the cloud with his hands behind his back. There was a faint smile on her lips. He looked at the house in the backyard, Jinzha, as if he was already sizing up his beloved disciple.
He had actually received the guidance of the Saint’s teacher.
How should I speak later?
No matter what, they could not say that they had accepted a disciple to block the calamity. The twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School wanted to save their pride.
Li Jing had already stopped in the courtyard. He bowed to Wen Shu in the sky and said seriously, “I’m the General of the Chentang Pass, Li Jing. Senior, you are…”
“Wen Shu, a cultivator from the Jade Void Palace.”
Wen Shu, Heavenly Venerate Guangfa, stood on the cloud and said calmly, “I was quiet and thought about it carefully. I deduced that fate arose from the Chentang Pass. Li Jing, do you have any children?”
Li Jing was stunned. Then, he understood the purpose of the Great Immortal’s visit.
The twelve Golden Immortals and disciples of the Saints of Chan School, the true top experts of the Primordial World, actually wanted to take his son as a disciple!
This!
There was nothing to be surprised about.
Li Jing could not help but recall his encounter after kneeling back then.
At that time, he was really walking on the road. When he was bumped by the old man, he was an impressive Great Immortal. When he was touched by someone with a treasure, he was the disciple of a Saint…
Today, Wen Shu came and wanted to take Jinzha as his disciple. Was it because he saw Jinzha’s amazing and extraordinary talent, and that there was a spiritual light shooting out from his head?
It was all because of his muddle-headed godfather!
Thinking about that, Li Jing already had an idea. He cupped his hands at Wen Shu and smiled.
“Senior, my son’s name is Li Jinzha. However, he is still young. My wife and I treat him like a treasure. We can’t bear to let him leave our side at this moment to seek the Dao.”
Yin Shi was slightly surprised.
Previously, Li Jing had even said that he wanted to become a master teacher for Jinzha. He wanted to cultivate to find the truth and live a carefree life…
Wen Shu frowned slightly when he heard that. He stopped smiling and looked at Li Jing, who was smiling below.
Li Changshou’s eyes lit up in the private room of the high-ranking servants.
This Li Jing is interesting.
Wen Shu said, “Li Jing, do you know that the Great Tribulation is imminent and only the sects of the Saints can protect themselves?”
Li Jing looked serious and said in a low voice, “I don’t know much about that. My goal is to protect the safety of Chentang Pass and the safety of my wife and children. Senior, my wife and I really can’t bear for my son to leave our side. I haven’t taught him too much about being a human. I haven’t taught him enough etiquette, nor have I told him that a man should be responsible. Senior… please don’t blame me.”
Wen Shu frowned. The cloud slowly descended from the sky and stopped 100 feet above Li Jing’s residence.
He swaggered and did not conceal himself. Many patrolling guards of the Li Residence saw him and caused a commotion.
Wen Shu waved his sleeve and put his hands behind his back.
“Li Jing, I know that you are a disciple of Ren School. However, you are just an in-name disciple of Senior Brother Du’e. Today, I came here personally to take your son, Jinzha, as my successor. Are you dissatisfied? Or do you think that the names of the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School and the cultivators of the Jade Void Palace are too light?”
“Senior, why do you say that?”
Li Jing pretended to be terrified and lowered his head. “It’s because my godfather had taught me to be a responsible father. A father’s duty is to establish a proper understanding of the world for his children. I have yet to complete his teachings to Jinzha. I really do not want Jinzha to leave my side. I don’t want him to take the wrong path and regret it.”
Wen Shu squinted and revealed a faint pressure.
“Do you mean that you think that I will cause Jinzha to go astray by teaching him?”
“No, no.”
Li Jing took out a jade slip that had its edges worn off, from his sleeve and said in a low voice, “This is the teachings given by my godfather. If you don’t believe me, Senior, please take a look.”
In the corner of the backyard, Li Changshou almost laughed out loud.
He did not expect that the book he had given Li Jing back then would have such a deep impact on him.
That’s right. I have to continue.
Wen Shu naturally could not take the jade token. At that moment, he could not hold his pride, but he did not dare to offend the ruthless Lord Taibai Jinxing.
He could only snort coldly and say calmly, “In that case, I’ll go to the Grand White Palace of the Heavenly Courts first!”
After saying that, he flicked his sleeve and turned around to fly into the sky. His figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Li Jing heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around and looked at his wife. The two of them lost their elegance and went to Jinzha’s residence in the backyard.
Li Changshou thought for a while and shifted his attention back to the Grand White Palace.
He was steady. Although he knew that Wen Shu would not really come over, he still summoned the Heavenly General who was guarding the place and said that he had been in seclusion for a few years and did not see any outsiders.
After doing that, Li Changshou could not help but have some thoughts.
Should I let Jinzha remarry, pfft, and become a disciple of Jie School?
Li Changshou pondered carefully for a while and wondered if that was the case.
Although he was on good terms with many disciples of the Saints of Jie School, there were indeed too many disadvantages.
Objectively speaking, it was not overboard to say that Jie School was hiding evil. It was only because the words’ Immortalism of Jie School ‘were first and more human that he felt close to it.
Although the human nature of Chan School was much weaker, overall, they were more obedient and had fewer negative karma.
If it was for the sake of Jinzha and the Li family, he could not force Jinzha to join Jie School.
Forget it. It’s best to let nature take its course.
Li Changshou was interested. He wanted to see if Jinzha was still going to acknowledge Wen Shu as his master and if he was destined to join the Buddhist Sect with Wen Shu…
The act of Li Jing kneeling that day seemed to have changed something.
After Wen Shu left, Li Jing and his wife arrived outside Jinzha’s door. They greeted the maidservants in the room and stood outside the window to look at Jinzha’s sleeping face. They sighed softly.
Li Jing had a premonition that the Heavenly Venerate Wen Shu, who was one of the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School, would come to take in another disciple. At that time, no matter how unwilling he was, he would have to consider the face of Chan School.
“Milady, I have something to discuss with you…”
The next morning.
Li Jing was dressed in armor and had long been waiting outside Jinzha’s door. When Jinzha woke up, he pulled a long face and asked Jinzha to change into a short-sleeved shirt and trousers before following him to the military camp.
In front of the Li Residence, Li Jing mounted his horse and extended his hand to Jinzha.
In Chentang Pass, Li Jing rode horses in and out most of the time. He did not want to cause the people to yearn for immortal cultivation and thus waste the farmland.
At that moment, Jinzha was just a child. Although he was a little afraid, he still allowed his father to pull him up, place him in front of him, and leap out of the pass.
That’s right. Jinzha almost spat out his food.
When Li Jing arrived at the military camp, the armored soldiers surrounded him and called him Major General. There were also loyal servants who smiled warmly at Jinzha.
Li Jing ordered someone to clean up the tent and add a small bed. He said to Jinzha earnestly, “I’m usually busy with work and can’t accompany you well. I know that you’re smart, but you’ve become sensible early. From today onwards, you will stay in the military camp with me for a hundred days. I will not leave your side.”
Jinzha blinked his huge eyes and asked softly,
“But Father, don’t you usually go back to reunite with Mother every night?”
“…”
‘Silly child, I’m thinking that when you sleep soundly in the military camp at night, you can use an escape technique to accompany your mother.’
Of course, Li Jing could not say that.
Li Jing looked at Jinzha lovingly and did not answer Jinzha’s question.
“From today onwards, you have to learn to be a real man.”
“But Father, I’m a man now. Uncle Chang’an said that men should stand and pee. Jinzha is standing.”
“This Wang Changan!”
Li Jing choked unhappily and said seriously,
“That’s different. A so-called man has to have a determined spirit, firm beliefs, and an iron body. You’re still too young. You’re just a child now.”
Jinzha could not help but tilt his head.
“But Father, we’re all made of flesh and blood. Uncle Chang’an said that flesh and blood are afraid of pain. There’s no need to pretend that we’re not afraid of pain.”
Li Jing was speechless.
“What else did Wang Chang’an say?”
Jinzha blinked. “But Father, why are you angry? Uncle Chang’an is right.”
Green veins popped out on Li Jing’s forehead. Just as he was about to flare up, he suddenly recalled the maxim in “Father’s Love Is Like a Mountain”.
If you don’t teach your own children, someone else will teach them for you.
Just like if you don’t take care of your Dao companion, someone else will take care of her for you.”
So that was the case.
Li Jing immediately realized something. He raised his hand and rubbed Jinzha’s head.
“Son, I might have to send you to a faraway place to learn some abilities. Before I go, I want to try my best to tell you how to be a man and a good person.”
“But…”
“Alright, no buts! Let’s play here for a while. I’ll gather the generals and introduce you to some uncles.”
“Oh,” Jinzha replied obediently. He looked at Li Jing’s broad back and heaved a sigh of relief.
Hence, on the second day.
“Cheer up—good! Very energetic!”
“I can’t hear you! Call again!”
“You f*cking haven’t eaten yet, have you!? Why are you so stingy? Go and deliver food to the demonic beasts!”
In the military drill, Li Jing sat on the seat of the main general. Jinzha’s small body was hiding in the round chair beside him. His little face was pale as he looked at the elite soldiers dancing with swords and spears in the open space in front of him.
Li Jing secretly observed Jinzha. He realized that Jinzha’s face was a little pale, but there was nothing unusual. He could not help but nod in satisfaction.
There was a murderous aura in the army. Jinzha had yet to cultivate. He was indeed a talent to be able to resist such a murderous aura at a young age.
In the next hundred days, Li Jing brought Jinzha to move around the military camp. He let Jinzha experience the pain of training and let him communicate with some bold generals.
According to the guidance given by Lord Taibai Jinxing, Li Jing had planted a seed of yearning for military power in Jinzha’s young heart.
The seed had already begun to sprout.
Li Changshou watched that scene and was quite satisfied. He decided to secretly help Li Jing.
Something more exciting!
One day before the 100-day deadline that Li Jing and Jinzha had agreed on, there was an urgent report from the army. It said that a demon beast had gone crazy in the field and destroyed a lot of food. It seemed to be a ferocious demon that had escaped after eating humans.
Li Jing immediately ordered the troops. After thinking for a while, he still brought Jinzha along and led the strongest generals in the army.
That demon beast was naturally the negative karma demon that Li Changshou had calmly chosen. At that moment, it had already destroyed its intelligence and secretly restricted the demon beast’s activity range.
When Li Jing rushed over, the demonic beast destroyed many villages. As the villagers had retreated in time, there were no mortal casualties.
Li Jing saw that and threw Jinzha to the Deputy General. He drew his sword and rushed forward. He fought a huge battle with the demonic beast and killed it in the field. He ordered the soldiers to deal with the corpses and comfort the injured villagers.
Although Jinzha was agitated, he looked at his father with starry eyes…
In the ruins of the field.
Li Jing walked slowly with Jinzha and sighed emotionally.
“Jinzha?”
“Father, I’m here.”
“Remember,” Li Jing said. “No matter where you go, you are from the human race. This world is very vast, so vast that you and I feel tiny. However, this world is very narrow, so narrow that different races fight to survive. The demons were formed by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. Those with evil intentions were called evil demons. They were mortal enemies with the human race, just like the demon beast today. Men should protect the weak and the mortals who could not cultivate under such evil claws. I don’t ask you to be an indomitable hero or hero, but I beg you to be a good person who can help when you see injustice and have the energy to spare. The word ‘human’ means supporting each other.”
Jinzha nodded seriously and said firmly, “I will remember.”
“This way.” Li Jing pointed at a pond. “I’ll tell you about an extraordinary person today. He’s the person I respect the most.”
“Is that your master, Father?”
Jinzha tilted his head and asked.
Li Jing smiled and said slowly, “No, your grandmaster is Perfected Du’e of Kunlun Mountain. However, I have only seen him once. When I was cultivating in the mountains, I was taken care of by this extraordinary person. That was why I had such a fortuitous encounter and cultivation level today. He was the best Lord of the Heavenly Courts, Taibai Jinxing, Li Changgeng. In the future, you will hear this name from different living beings. However, remember not to be disrespectful to him…”
The sun gradually set in the west, lengthening the shadows of the father and son and pulling them away. Li Jing’s voice was also crushed in the wind.
…
At Chentang Pass, in the Li Residence.
Li Changshou’s paper effigy stretched his back. His eyes were filled with peace. He did not continue listening.
Yes, he was thin-faced and could not bear to hear others brag about him.
At that moment, he was rather emotional. He felt satisfied that he had not wasted his efforts.
What happened to Li Jing was no longer important.
The current Li Jing valued family education and knew how to guide his child to establish the correct values. At the same time, he could maintain his dignity and warmth.
That’s right.
When Ling Zhuzi reincarnated into Nezha later, he would not be too irritable after being taught by Li Jing, right?
Li Changshou chuckled. Then, he recalled something and returned to the Grand White Palace. He activated a paper effigy that was hiding in the town of the Middle Continent and rushed to the Qianyuan Mountain on a cloud.
He still had to remind Perfected Taiyi to guard the Spirit Pearl’s Spirit Embryo. He had to be careful and cautious.
If necessary, he could go to the Three Friends Courtyard and ask a Saint’s decree to protect Ling Zhuzi’s reincarnation.
At that moment, Perfected Taiyi had already vaguely sensed Ling Zhuzi’s destiny. It seemed that the Heavenly Dao had already set a place for Ling Zhuzi to reincarnate. He only needed to wait for the opportunity and the Heavenly Dao would remind him.
Although Perfected Taiyi’s abilities in fights of magical powers were a little weak, his Dao realm was indeed not low. He had to believe in his senses.
Hence, Perfected Taiyi glared at Li Changshou and asked, “Do you already know where Ling Zhuzi’s reincarnation should go?”
Li Changshou only smiled and did not say anything. He pointed at the sky and made a gesture of shutting his mouth. Then, he chuckled and the paper effigy melted on its own, leaving Perfected Taiyi staring at it.
Two years later, Wen Shu arrived at Chen Tang Pass again.
This time, he even brought Perfected Huang Long and Perfected Pu Xian along and did not mention the ruthless words he had said.
He would go and find Taibai Jinxing and so on.
This time, Perfected Huang Long, the good old man, cleared the path and pretended to be a mortal to sneak into Chentang Pass before visiting Li Jing’s residence.
The three personal disciples of the Saints had arrived and promised Jinzha the best cultivation technique and the best cultivation environment. They would let him become a third-generation disciple of Chan School…
Li Jing was indeed tempted.
Moreover, Wen Shu no longer had his previous arrogance and took the initiative to apologize to Li Jing.
Li Jing quickly nodded and agreed. He asked Jinzha to become his disciple.
Wen Shu was happy. The more he looked at Jinzha, the more he liked him. He gave him many treasures.
Huang Long stroked his beard and chuckled. He gave a few mystical abilities and spells.
At the same time, Pu Xian calculated with his fingers and smiled. “Generalissimo Li, is your wife pregnant again?”
Li Jing was speechless.
Just as the Li family was enjoying themselves, a piece of news spread from Chaoge City.
The King of Shang, Di Yi left.
In Chaoge City, in the Emissary’s Residence, Li Changshou’s paper effigy, who was already “extremely old”, sat quietly on a round chair. His immortal senses scanned it, and he could not help but squint and smile.
The people in Chaoge City were very energetic tonight.
