Chapter 350 Xiaoqing: Boy! Help me practice!
Although sister Xu Jiaorong felt it was outrageous, she looked at her younger brother, hesitated for a moment, and still did not ask.

She only knew that her brother was kind-hearted and would not do anything bad. Sometimes she even worried that if he got married in the future and was bullied by his wife every day, what would she do then?

She processed the meat and was very busy, because wild boars are not as good as domestic pigs. If they are not processed well, the taste will not be good. Only the men in the city, who are used to eating domestic meat, think wild meat is good.

Zhang Tian followed his memory and returned to his small study, which was specially left for him by his brother-in-law Li Gongfu. There were many books in it, and it was obvious that a lot of money had been spent on it.

After all, Zhang Tian is his brother-in-law.

And he is also a scholar.

Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, if you study well, you can become a county magistrate when you grow up, which is really a way to change your destiny!
Don't underestimate him just because he is a servant.

Working in the government office.

But the salary was actually not much, and he was not willing to make any extra money or squeeze the people, so naturally he did not live a very rich life. The most important thing was that he was registered as an official, which meant that three generations of his family would not be able to study or become an official.

I can only hope that my brother-in-law will have a bright future.

"Who would have thought that Xu Xian, who had no education in his life and never passed the imperial examinations, would give birth to a son named Wenquxing."

"A useless father, a demon mother, a miserable childhood, and a struggling me, why do I feel that the protagonist of this White Snake is Xu Shilin?"

Zhang Tian smiled and took a look at the books Xu Xian bought. The handwriting on them was not neat at all and it was obvious that they were not original. Most likely, the other party had copied them word for word because he had little money.

He saw it with his own eyes and studied it carefully, and found that the Confucian books in this world were very different from those in the world of Journey to the West. There was always a feeling of ambiguity and stubbornness, so he was directly castrated, and the castration was repeated many times.

Ugh……

Zhang Tian sighed with a hint of disappointment, but he was not too disappointed. He had expected this. After all, the Confucianism and Taoism in the world of Journey to the West had produced figures like Confucius, a practice system that competed with Taoism and Buddhism.

He carefully flipped through the other books again, but he could not find any cultivation system. His eyes were full of disappointment. Even if he read these books well, it would be difficult to achieve anything great.

He read for a while and then put the book down. This was because his brother-in-law Li Gongfu had just finished work and was laid off. When he returned home, he smelled the aroma of cooking meat. He was stunned at first, and then he was even more stunned after hearing what his sister Xu Jiaorong said.

Li Gongfu thought for a long time, but he couldn't imagine how a wild boar would fall, how it would be able to accurately kill itself, and how it would be able to accurately cut off all four legs.

He and his sister looked at each other, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The dinner was very strange.

Zhang Tian seemed to be heartless, eating happily, and then suddenly made a decision that went against his ancestors in his sister's eyes, "I want to say one thing, I don't want to study anymore."

Sister: The sky is falling!

Brother-in-law: Ah?

They both looked shocked. After all, in their eyes, studying was the most reliable and most successful path, and it was the best chance for ordinary people to turn their lives around. How could they just stop studying?

They couldn't believe it!

However, Zhang Tian did not explain to them that studying is indeed useful. It was even like a joke in the future that Xu Shilin, the special envoy of Yangcheng, led all the civil and military officials in the city to almost destroy Fahai's Jinshan Temple and rescued his mother easily. This shows the value of the top scholar and the power of the dynasty. Even Fahai had to bow his head.

But he’s seen it now.

Those books are of no use.

With his luck, he could easily become the top scholar, become a high-ranking official, or even be granted a title of nobility or appointed as prime minister.

But will he, the future Buddha, lack these things?
So Zhang Tian told a little white lie, "Today when I was picking herbs in the mountains, I met an immortal. I saw that he was quite capable and could fly into the sky and hide underground. The immortal said that I have a special physique and wanted to take me to become an immortal and cultivate Taoism." He said a lot, trying his best to make the non-existent Taoist priest seem more capable and powerful.

But when my sister and brother-in-law heard it, it was finally summed up in two sentences.

My younger brother met a charlatan.

My younger brother is going to become a Taoist priest!
The two were so angry and anxious. Sister Xu Jiaorong was almost crying. "Dad and Mom died early. Before they left, they asked me to raise you with all my heart. Although I am a little strict with you and hope that you can make a name for yourself, you can't be like this... like this... and not even leave the bloodline of the Xu family!"

She thought about leaving.

What should I do if my younger brother is left alone and bullied? Will he starve to death on the streets?
Li Gongfu on the side was even more furious, and he slapped out his long sword, "Who is this wild Taoist priest who dares to say such nonsense? I'm going to chop him down!"

"Oh, it seems to be called something like Longhu Mountain."

Li Gongfu was stunned on the spot. Dragon...Longhu Mountain...hiss...uh...

He silently looked at his sister, somewhat powerless to refute.

Sister Xu Jiaorong then brought up the bloodline inheritance, "If you become a Taoist, the Xu family will be extinct. A hundred years from now, the graves of our parents and ancestors will probably be dug up and trees will be planted on them, and the trees will pierce through them!"

"Oh, that's right."

Zhang Tian suddenly realized, slammed the table, and nodded vigorously in the face of his sister's gratified eyes, "Then I won't practice Taoism. The old Taoist priest said that I can live to be 300 years old, but what's the point of living that long? It's more meaningful to have children and grandchildren around you like you said! Sister is really wise, I will listen to you!"

Xu Jiaorong: Live, live to be 300 years old?
She didn't react for a moment, until Li Gongfu beside her exclaimed, "That means we can live until our grandchildren's grandchildren have grandchildren. That's like being a god."

Ancient people were simple.

If you can live long, you are a god.

Unlike modern people, one must at least be able to call the wind and rain, turn beans into soldiers, fly into the sky and hide in the ground, give wealth and children, move mountains and seas, and resurrect people with just a gesture of the hand. Only then can one be called a god.

The two of them widened their eyes.

Looking at each other.

They were both surprised and happy. They were surprised because they didn't know whether it was true or not. For ordinary people like them, it was too far-fetched.

The good news is that their Xu family actually has such an opportunity and is about to produce a living god!

Zhang Tian smiled without saying anything. He went back to his room after dinner, giving the two of them some time to buffer and himself some time to look forward to it.

"I've already said that I want to cultivate immortality."

"With my luck."

"My master should be here soon, right?"

"I don't know if it's from Taoism, but Buddhism is acceptable. If it's a Confucian or Taoist master, well, we can consider it."

Just as Zhang Tian was thinking, he saw a green snake climbing up the wall and grinning at him, "Boy, I need you to help me practice!!"

Zhang Tian: Becoming a monster? Is that right?
