After Lao Tzu left behind his masterpiece "Tao Te Ching", he rode a green ox west out of Hangu Pass and disappeared from the sight of the world. Some people speculated that I went into seclusion. Some people speculated that I was originally one of the three pure Taoist deities, that is, the Taishang Lao.

The clone that you cut off came to the mortal world to leave this Tao Te Ching in the world and lay the foundation for the prosperity and development of Taoism in the future. Now that the task has been completed, the old man also rode the green bull back to the sky.

After leaving Hangu Pass in the west, the old man did not return directly to the thirty-three days, but continued towards the distance.

After walking for who knows how long, the green cow stopped and made a mooing sound.

I knew that the old man sensed something. He looked around and found a child sitting on the roadside not far ahead.

The child was thin and dirty. He was wearing tattered clothes and his feet were bare. There was a cut on his foot that was bleeding. Now he was rubbing the hand he picked at random.

Weed, crush the weed and apply it on the wound.

It hurt a lot, but the child didn't cry or shout, he just gritted his teeth and endured it silently.

I felt a little distressed when I saw it. He got off the Qingniu and walked slowly to the child's side. He squatted down and touched his head and asked with a smile: "Little baby, why are you here alone? Your parents

Woolen cloth?"

The child turned to look at me. When he realized that the old man in front of him had no ill intentions, he answered his question: "My father and mother died a long time ago, and I was left alone."

"Is that so..." I frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Nowadays, swordsmen and soldiers are everywhere in China, heroes are fighting each other, and there is no country, so why should we call home?

I sighed softly and asked the child: "Then are you willing to come with me? Just call me Master and I will raise you."

"Really?" The child was a little excited, but he was not in a hurry to agree to me. After all, if he went out to explore at such a young age, he would definitely be wary of everyone.

I chuckled: "Of course it's true. Looking at you like this, you probably haven't eaten yet. I have a piece of cake here, it's still warm. You can eat it first."

As he said that, I took out a piece of white cloth from my arms and uncovered the white cloth. Inside was a steaming big cake.

The child did not pick up the big cake handed over by me. Instead, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times to me: "Master, please bow to me."

"Hahaha, good disciple, get up quickly, there is no need to bow." When I saw the child kneeling down to kowtow to me, I was a little panicked, so I quickly put the cake in my hand into my arms and stretched out my hand to help the child up.

"Thank you, Master." The child got up with a smile on his face. I touched his little head, took the cake out of his arms and stuffed it into his hand: "Master will take you to ride a bull in a while. Let's walk together."

eat."

"Yes." The child nodded, opened his mouth and took a big bite of the cake, chewing it slowly.

"Eat slowly." I laughed, leaned over and picked up the child, and slowly walked towards the green cow.

"By the way, Master doesn't know yet, what is your name?"

"My name is Huang Zhongtian. My mother told me that this was the name given to me by a person who stayed with me before I was born."

"Huang Zhongtian, what a great name. Do your mother and the others know who named you?"

"I don't know about that. My mother only told me that the person staying overnight was wearing white clothes and had white hair. He was very strange."

"Oh, it turns out it's him."

Until the end, Huang Zhongtian didn't know that I accepted him as his disciple not only because of pity, but also because I saw the light in his eyes when I met his eyes.

I took Xiao Zhongtian forward on the green bull slowly and leisurely. Along the way, I told the child a lot of things, including what he had seen and heard along the way before, and some things about Tao.

The first time I saw this child, I made up my mind to stay in the human world for a longer period of time. He wanted to raise this child to adulthood, and then let him return to the heaven with him.

The two of them walked for who knows how long. On this day, Qingniu came to a forest and suddenly stopped, saying nothing.

I understood what the old man meant. He carried the child and got out of Qingniu. He pointed at the woods in front of him and asked, "Disciple, how about we stay here?"

After Xiao Zhongtian looked at the forest in front of him, he said obediently: "It's very beautiful here, but Master, there are no houses here, just trees. It's fine for me to sleep on the ground, but you are so old and can easily get sick."

ah."

I laughed, touched Xiao Zhongtian's little head and said, "It's okay. If you don't have a house, Master can build one. Disciple, what do you think that is?"

As he said this, I pointed my finger forward. Xiao Zhongtian looked in the direction of his master's finger and found that a small yard appeared out of thin air in the forest. In front of the yard, there were several chickens walking around. From time to time,

He lowered his head to peck at the bugs on the ground.

"Master, it's so magical. Are you using the spell you mentioned on the road before?" Xiao Zhongtian was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. He had never seen this before. Even if he heard the master tell it, he would not dare to

Believe that what you see before you is real.

"Yes, if you want to learn, master will teach you in two days, okay?" I chuckled, holding the green cow in one hand and Zhongtian in the other and walked into the forest.

"Okay, okay, Master, I want to learn. After I finish learning, I can protect Master." Xiao Zhongtian was very happy. He turned around and hugged me. I laughed loudly. This apprentice got it right.

In this way, the two masters and apprentices settled here, and I did not break my promise. After settling in, he began to teach Xiao Zhongtian how to meditate, practice, and even how to use magic.

Xiao Zhongtian did not live up to my expectations. He was not stupid, and he was diligent and eager to learn, so it didn't take long for him to master the things I taught him. His cultivation also went smoothly, and I didn't worry about it at all.

Xiao Zhongtian can calm down and practice, but this old man can't take any time off. Every once in a while, he has to go out and walk around, walking for ten days and a half before coming back.

On this day, Xiao Zhongtian was practicing spells when he suddenly heard a knock on the door from outside. He took back his spells and ran over to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a young man in white clothes and white hair walked in from the outside. He went straight to a small stool in the yard and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.

After drinking tea, the man in white looked at Xiao Zhongtian, nodded slightly and asked with a smile: "Don't be afraid, little guy, I don't mean any harm. I just want to see your master and I come here this time."

.But I took a look and it seems that your master is not here. Do you mind if I wait here for his return?"

"This..." Xiao Zhongtian wanted to refuse, but he clearly felt a terrifying pressure coming from this man. His cultivation was higher than his own. It was better to stabilize this guy first.

, wait until the master comes later and let the master deal with him. "Okay, but you have to cook the food yourself. If you want to sleep, you can share a room with me. You can't live in the master's room."

"Okay, then it's settled." The man in white smiled slightly, filled the cup with tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

Xiao Zhongtian lived like this with the man in white for five days. At noon five days later, the mooing of a green cow was heard outside the yard. Xiao Zhongtian immediately beamed with joy, dropped the stick in his hand and ran out in a hurry.

The man in white smiled slightly, filled the cup with tea leaves, and continued to look at my collection of books carefully.

When I saw Xiao Zhongtian running out, I was a little surprised. Normally, my disciples wouldn't come out to greet me when I came back. What happened today?

Before the old man could speak, Xiao Zhongtian spoke first: "Master, Master, what's wrong, a man wearing white clothes and with white hair broke into the house. His cultivation level is so high.

He said he wanted to find the master and didn't know what to do."

"Oh? A man in white clothes and white hair, looking for me?" I was a little surprised, because he subconsciously thought of the guest who Xiao Zhongtian told him before, who named him, and he seemed to be also in white clothes and white hair.

"Let's go and have a look."

I got off the Qingniu. At this time, the young genius discovered that there was a person riding on the Qingniu. He was also a child. However, the child seemed a little unhappy. He kept pouting and blowing the two locks of hair hanging on his head.

.

"Master, who is he?" Xiao Zhongtian asked me, pointing to the child on the back of the green bull.

I slapped my forehead: "Oh, why did I forget about this child? His name is Xiao Jiujian. Like you, he is also an orphan. From today on, he will be your junior brother. Remember to take good care of your junior brother. I'll go first

Go take a look at that man in white and see what's going on with him."

After that, I went into the yard and left the two children outside.

Xiao Zhongtian smiled slightly, held Tai Chi in his hands and said: "Hello, junior brother, I am your senior brother Huang Zhongtian. From today on, we are a family. If you have any difficulties in the future, tell me and I will help you."

Xiao Jiujian glanced at Huang Zhongtian and asked disdainfully: "Really? Do you know swordsmanship?"

After I entered the yard, I looked up and saw the man in white sitting in the middle of the yard. He was stunned for a moment and then asked: "Why are you here? Logically speaking, shouldn't you go back?"

The man in white put down the book in his hand, stood up, hugged Tai Chi and smiled slightly: "Master, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much. As for whether I should go back, it's not possible yet. Before that thing is finished, I

I will always stay in this world."

I frowned and said: "You should know in your heart how much a provocation an immortal person is to the way of heaven. Before long, you will face a catastrophe, where thunder will strike you, fire will burn you, and strong winds will blow you.

Although you won’t die, you will be miserable!”

The man in white smiled slightly: "Master, I do know it, so I won't come to see you now. I believe you will have a way to help me escape this disaster. As for what happens next, I already know it.

What to do.”

"Oh, you really are." I shook my head helplessly. He really couldn't do anything about this guy.

At this time, Xiao Zhongtian came in from the outside with Xiao Jiujian, and the two were already holding hands. When Xiao Zhongtian saw the man in white still standing in the yard of his home, he asked me: "Master, this man,

Why haven't you left yet?"

I sighed and said: "It's all a misunderstanding. Let me introduce to you. This is your third junior brother, Feng Yu."

Feng Yu came to the two children, bowed and saluted: "Junior brother Feng Yu pays homage to the two senior brothers, and please ask the two senior brothers for your help in the future."

Both of these children were stupid, especially Xiao Jiujian. He had just recognized a senior brother outside, but he didn't expect that when he came in, he would be so powerful. A man who looked at least ten years older than him bent down and called him senior brother.

.

Xiao Zhongtian was fine, he nodded slightly and said: "Get up, junior brother, we will be a family from now on. If you have any problem, you can come to me and I will help you solve it."

"Thank you, senior brother." Feng Yu stood up slowly. He looked at Huang Zhongtian curiously. At this time, Huang Zhongtian was also looking at him. Their eyes met. Feng Yu found that this child was not simple. Not only did he behave like an adult, but there was something in his eyes.

Light.

I sighed: "Now that two people have been added at once, I, an old man, have to go to work to turn it into a big house."

Feng Yu quickly said: "Master, you don't need to worry, just let me come."

"You coming?" I raised my eyebrows, and then I thought, let this kid try it, just to see how he has practiced over the years.

"I'll just come." Feng Yu smiled slightly, walked to the door, and waved lightly with his right hand.
