There is no future for menial disciples? I draw talismans to achieve immortality

Xujiacun.

"Brother Ergou said that those wearing Taoist robes are all immortals. Did I save an immortal?"

On a muddy road in the countryside, a ragged boy was leading an old yellow cow.

On the cow's back, there was an unconscious Taoist lying.

The boy wrinkled his dirty little face and muttered:

"Even if he's an immortal, so what? Xu Changshou, oh Xu Changshou, you're really crazy. You can't even eat enough, and you're still thinking about saving people. If that vicious woman finds out, I'll definitely skin you alive..."

The boy's name was Xu Changshou. He was twelve years old. His father was a famous hunter in the village. His life used to be pretty good. He was not rich, but he had enough food and clothing.

When I was nine years old, disaster struck.

Xu Changshou's father was killed by a wild beast while hunting. His mother could not bear the blow and followed his father.

Xu Changshou became an orphan.

Later, he was taken in by Mr. Wang in the village and became a cowherd for a wealthy landlord.

Not only did he have to herd cattle, but he also had to do various heavy physical labor such as carrying water, chopping firewood, and farming.

Going hungry is commonplace.

Xu Changshou had no relatives and was young, so he was forced to accept exploitation.

Mr. Wang's wife was a shrew. She treated Xu Changshou very badly and would beat and scold him at any time.

Today, Mr. Wang asked Xu Changshou to lead the cow to plow the land.

And promise:

After plowing ten acres of land, I was given four steamed buns.

After turning the fields, on the way back, Xu Changshou met a middle-aged Taoist who was injured and unconscious.

So they put him on the ox's back and pulled him back.

Xu Changshou lived in the cowshed and placed the Taoist priest there as well.

The cowshed was stinking, but Mr. Wang and his vicious wife never went in, so they didn't have to worry about being discovered.

Only after tying up the cows and feeding them fodder did Xu Changshou take care of the Taoist priest.

At this time, the Taoist's face was pale, but he had no external injuries.

Unconscious for some reason?

Xu Changshou gave the Taoist some boiled water and left him alone.

At this time, Xu Changshou's stomach was rumbling with hunger. He drank a few gulps of water before feeling a little better. He glanced outside the cowshed and saw that it was getting dark.

Usually at this time, the wife of Mr. Wang would bring him food.

"Xu Changshou, dinner is ready."

A shrew's voice came from outside.

"coming."

Xu Changshou ran out of the bullpen like the wind.

Outside the cowshed, Xu Wangshi frowned and threw two steamed buns to Xu Changshou.

"Eat well and go to bed early, so you can get up early to plow the fields tomorrow."

Aren’t there four steamed buns? Why are there only two?

Damn it, you vicious woman, she actually withheld two steamed buns from me.

Xu Changshou looked at Xu Wangshi, but didn't dare to ask any questions.

Ignoring Xu Changshou, Xu Wangshi walked away with her big butt twisted.

Xu Changshou couldn't help scratching his head. The vicious woman had changed her temper today and for the first time ever didn't scold him.

It was spring at this time, and Mr. Wang's family still had hundreds of acres of land that needed Xu Changshou to plow.

Therefore, Mrs. Xu Wang treated Xu Changshou nicerly because she hoped he could work more.

Xu Changshou was too young to understand the tricks, he just felt that the vicious woman suddenly became kind.

After returning to the cowshed, Xu Changshou quickly finished a whole steamed bun with some boiled water.

The other steamed bun was intended to be left for the Taoist priest.

Then, Xu Changshou fell into the haystack and fell into a deep sleep.

He slept until dawn.

The next morning.

At dawn, Xu Changshou opened his eyes and saw the Taoist sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Seems to have noticed something.

The Taoist opened his eyes, and a divine light flashed in his eyes.

His gaze, with a hint of coercion, fell on Xu Changshou, causing him to feel a tightness in his heart.

What a scary look, is he an immortal?

"It was you who saved me?" the Taoist said calmly.

"Yes."

"What's your name?"

"My name is Xu Changshou, and I'm a cowherd in Mr. Wang's family. I saw you unconscious on the roadside yesterday, so I rescued you."

"The cowherd boy..."

The Taoist looked at the cowshed, wrinkled his nose slightly, and said with a smile: "My surname is Zhang, and my name is Zhengyuan. You can just call me Taoist priest."

"Master...Master, you must be hungry. I'll get you something to eat."

Xu Changshou hurriedly stretched out his black hand and took out a pitch-black steamed bread from his arms. Zhang Zhengyuan showed a look of disgust on his face.

Can this be eaten?

"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."

At this time, Zhang Zhengyuan's stomach growled and he felt hungry.

He smiled awkwardly, picked up the steamed bread and started eating without caring whether it was dirty or not.

He didn't know how many days he had been hungry, but he felt that the pitch-black steamed bread tasted very delicious.

After finishing a steamed bun, he looked at Xu Changshou again: "Anything else?"

Xu Changshou shook his head: "No more, originally there were four steamed buns every day, but that vicious woman withheld two, otherwise..."

"Who is that vicious bitch?"

"That vicious bitch is Mr. Wang's wife. She's the most annoying. She always bullies me..."

Xu Changshou talked a lot about the vicious woman, and Zhang Zhengyuan roughly understood Xu Changshou's situation.

For a moment, Zhang Zhengyuan felt both grateful and sympathetic towards Xu Changshou.

"Xu Changshou, I'd like to teach you a six-word breathing method that will strengthen your body. Are you willing to learn?"

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Zhengyuan said seriously.

"willing."

Xu Changshou nodded. He had no reason to refuse a breathing method that could strengthen his body.

My body has become stronger, so I can do all kinds of work without any effort. How great is that!

"Come closer and I'll teach you how to pronounce the six characters."

"Yes."

Xu Changshou leaned over and only heard Zhang Zhengyuan say six words: "Hush, huh, huh, hiss, blow, hee."

That's it?

Xu Changshou was speechless: "Master, can this really strengthen the body?"

Zhang Zhengyuan had an immortal look on his face and said with a smile, "This is the supreme method of the Xuanmen sect. It has infinite uses, and it is not just for strengthening the body."

Xu Changshou's mind became active, and he asked cautiously: "Excuse me, Taoist priest, is this the method of cultivating immortality?"

Zhang Zhengyuan chuckled: "If you can feel the energy, you can become an immortal."

"What if I can't feel the Qi?"

“You can’t feel it, but it can still strengthen your body.”

Xu Changshou frowned: "How can I feel the energy?"

Zhang Zhengyuan: "That depends on your luck. If you can feel the energy, I will accept you as my disciple."
