The seven emotions and six desires are all my nourishment

When the Taoist priest arrived, the three-year-old Ninth Girl finally had her own name.

The name has not changed, it is still Liu Ruyan, but the difference is that this time it was chosen by a Taoist priest, or to be more precise, it was calculated.

Liu Ruyan was a small girl. Although her clothes were old, they were intact and had not been treated so harshly that they had patches on them.

The girl smiled with her eyes curved, looking very lovely. Led by the steward, she knelt before the Taoist priest and kowtowed respectfully, then stood up to pour tea.

As she turned around, she stretched out her little hand and grabbed the croton powder that she had saved for a long time from her purse. Her chubby little hand flipped it nimbly and threw it directly into the teapot.

"Master, have some tea~" The child's voice was tender and crisp, and his little hands held the teacup steadily and high, with an appearance of respect for the teacher.

The Taoist priest was very happy. He touched his beard, took the tea and drank it. However, he felt something was wrong when he took a sip. After smelling it carefully, he found that it was croton powder.

The Taoist frowned and looked around. There were only three people, and the manager was standing far away.

When the Taoist saw the little man, he made up a lot of stories in his mind and felt more and more pity for the little man in front of him.

Liu Ruyan's heart moved. The Taoist priest was still a good Taoist priest. It seemed that the Heavenly Dao also wanted to take this opportunity to understand the situation of war among many countries and the people's miserable life.

【Then, I won’t be polite! 】

The Taoist priest had little magical power after all. He only saw that this woman had a chaotic fate but had the ability to destroy the world or create the world, but she was plagued by bad luck.

So he originally wanted to meet her out of curiosity, but as if there was some guidance from somewhere, he wanted to take her in as his disciple on the spot.

Tao follows nature. Perhaps he taught this girl everything he had learned throughout his life, and then guided her to be good. After getting rid of bad luck, the new world would always be beautiful.

After all, the girl is getting older, and he can no longer seal her. Once she becomes resentful and her bad luck increases, then this world will probably be destroyed.

The Taoist sighed inwardly and gently took the girl's hand. "From now on, you will be my lay disciple. Master has given you the Taoist name Mingxin. I hope you can see your true nature clearly, distinguish right from wrong, and have a pure and kind heart."

"What do you think, Yanyan?"

"Okay~ Then Master, what's your Taoist name?" Liu Ruyan was also afraid. After all, no one talked to her normally, and some were even a little afraid of her. It was rare for someone to come today, and the little girl was just curious.

The Taoist's heart softened. He touched her head and said, "My name is Qingyangzi. I will teach you well in the future. Don't forget your original intention."

"Yes, master!"

For three long years, the master and disciple lived in a remote backyard, although Qingyangzi would occasionally take her out for a walk to understand the sufferings of the world and witness the evil of human hearts.

But most of the time, Qingyangzi was teaching her reading, mathematics, astronomy, geography, agriculture, commerce, medicine, art, and most importantly, meditation.

It feels like taking exam-oriented education, and the teacher is individual and private!

Six-year-old Liu Ruyan faced her first transformation. The eldest wife, the mistress of the house, had died.

In less than half a year, Liu's father fulfilled all men's dreams: promotion, wealth, and a new wife.

Eight-year-old Liu Ruyan had a new mistress this year, but she had never met her.

The older sisters in the family tried their best to curry favor with him. Except for Liu Ruyan, the youngest daughter of Liu's father was fourteen, the oldest was sixteen, and there was one who was just fifteen. They were all concubines' daughters.

As for the two daughters of the former mistress, they will become grandmothers themselves in a few years.

If she hadn't been unwell and hadn't passed away early due to depression, she would probably have planned future husbands for these girls.

But now, whether these three daughters can marry well in the future depends on the new mistress, so they naturally have to curry favor with her.

Liu Ruyan did not intervene. First, the bride was a widow who remarried and had just entered the mansion, so it was natural for her to save face. She needed to do something to spread her good name.

Secondly, Liu Ruyan and these family members, well, they are not very familiar with each other in both lives. Thirdly, these three people did not marry too badly, they just married old men.

When I was nine years old, my three older sisters were married off one after another, and my mistress gave birth to a son at the end of the year.

When she was ten years old, Liu Ruyan's seal was suddenly broken.

Liu Ruyan was eating melon seeds when her last tooth fell out. She was so unlucky that she almost choked to death.

Qing Yangzi was startled and quickly patted her back to make her spit out her teeth. He then handed her a cup of tea. Just as Liu Ruyan was about to put it in her mouth, a gecko as big as a shoe fell from the beam and hit Liu Ruyan in the face.

Liu Ruyan was stunned. The teacup spilled, the gecko ran away, and her clothes were soaked. Anyway, she didn't get to drink a sip of water.

She sighed and wanted to put down the teacup, but her hand was empty and the cup fell to the ground. She subconsciously wanted to catch it, but just as she took a step, she stepped on the tea leaves and water stains. Whoosh, Liu Ruyan did a big split.

Liu Ruyan: “…”

[Oh my god, I almost forgot about this. The traffic has been stuck for so many years, it's time to relax! ]

Qing Yangzi helped her up, touched her head and said, "The time has come. I am leaving. Follow your heart and don't let yourself suffer any misfortune."

"Ah, time flies by so fast. I really can't bear to leave you. Ah, I will remember your teachings, Master."

"By the way, I have a gift for you as well. Master, please take this jar of tonic pills yourself. I'm afraid you might drop it." Liu Ruyan smiled brightly, not showing any reluctance at all. Instead, she looked cunning.
