you are my monster

Chapter 4

It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that people from the Xuanguang faction found this mountain and brought Xiao Huoya back.

I stood silently in front of an ordinary stone, and let them hug the small tooth by their side.

"Master, junior brother, are you okay, why did you come here?"

"I don't know why my junior brother lost his talisman. He said he wanted to find it, but he didn't expect to come to such a remote place. Master, master, if my junior brother loses his talisman, can he really not be included in the book?"

"Whether he's in the book or not, he shouldn't be here, hey...it depends on his fate."

"Why did the master say that, the younger brother is smart and has a high level of comprehension."

"Born in the royal family, he has deep dust roots, ingenuity and wisdom, wisdom is not pure, he has neither Dao root nor Dao nature, he is not a material for cultivating Dao. How do you know what will happen in the future?"

I don't like to be nosy.However, the phrase "he is not a material for cultivating Taoism" was stored in my heart, and I thought about it, and for some reason, I came up with the idea to walk around Songyun Mountain to see the little broken tooth.

The Taoist temple of the Xuanguang Sect is quite large in the secular world, with a grand hall, numerous pavilions, occupying a stretch of mountains, and many disciples. They are graded according to the time of entry and the level of cultivation. Xiao Huoya is the lowest disciple in the last class. Live in the smallest house on the hillside.

I concealed myself, wandered around and watched for a few days, and found that this kid was not very popular in the sect.

From other people's gossip, I learned that my mother was originally a maid of honor, she inherited the rain and dew by chance, gave birth to a son, and was named a nobleman, but unfortunately Xiao Huoya was as old as the queen's son, which was very embarrassing.His mother first asked for peace, and secondly, to please the queen, she took the initiative to ask Xiao Huoya to become a substitute monk for the queen's son.

Xiao Huoya was sent to a Taoist temple in the suburbs of Beijing to become a little Taoist priest. Because of such enlightened actions, his mother was promoted to a virtuous concubine and gradually gained favor.Only then did the queen realize that this woman is not an ordinary character, but it is not easy to deal with her.On a dark and windy night two years ago, a fire broke out in the Taoist temple where Xiao Huoya was. Fortunately for the baby, a Taoist priest from the Xuanguang Sect happened to pass by and rescued him.About to send him back to the palace, Concubine Xian firmly said that the fire was God's will, the child should have died, and it was his destiny to be saved by the Taoist priest.He no longer belongs to this earthly world, please ask the Taoist priest to take him back to the mountain.

So Xiao Huoya was brought back.

It is said that it was later found out that the empress sent someone to set off the fire. It is said that the concubine Xian is about to become a noble concubine because of this act of integrity.

Xiao Huoya is in the teacher's school, and he always acts like he wants to be liked.Be obedient and obedient in front of the teacher, and follow the brothers of the same generation, serving tea and water.

Children of this age are mostly irritable and fiery, jumping up and down to cause trouble, quarreling with each other, getting blushed and thick necked, fighting with each other, and after a while they hooked their shoulders up a tree and down a river.Only Xiao Huoya always has a smile on his face, nods when others say anything, never disobeys other people's words, and often gives small gifts to elders and senior brothers. .

I hid in the void and watched him follow the older children to and fro like a little tail. Whenever there were more than three people talking together, he would definitely move over.

"Senior brother, senior brother, what are you talking about?"

"Senior brother, senior brother, I'm going too, can you take me with you?"

"Brother, this is really fun!"

"Brother, I'll get it, I'm running fast!"

"Senior brother, this candy is delicious, try it."

When many children saw him coming, they looked a little uncomfortable, and when he walked away, they whispered——

"Why is Junior Brother Weiyuan always a little... weird..."

"It's not like us all the way."

"The children of the emperor's family are all like that, smarter than us."

"That's called meeting things."

Only the stupid boy who came back to look for him last time really took him to play and treated him as a junior.

"Junior brother, don't be like this. Our school doesn't have so many rules. Master has already said that cultivators follow nature and follow their instincts. So what should you do?"

Xiao Huoya nodded like a little quail: "Senior brother, you are right!" Then he said in a blink of an eye, "Senior brother, let me get this for you."

The boy rolled his eyes helplessly: "There is nothing I can do about you."

Xiao Huoya lost his talisman paper and became the only disciple who was not included in the book, making him even more different.Therefore, he looked at other people's faces and acted more cautiously, like a little bobcat walking on thin ice, stretching out its paws to explore every step it takes.

He often hid in a corner, watching other disciples go to learn exercises and practice swords together, full of envy.

In the middle of the night, when I stood by his bedside, I would often see him shivering and having nightmares.

In fact, he was just a child who was afraid of being lost.

Another day, he stayed alone in the small courtyard, reciting basic exercises.The young man who always protected him was the elder brother of their generation, and he went down the mountain with his master to eliminate demons.At noon, when the teenagers who lived with him came back, he immediately dropped his books and went up to him.

"Brother, brother, are you back?"

The teenagers hummed perfunctorily, then wiped the sweat from their foreheads, shouted how tired they were and went into the room to change their clothes. He followed to the door again: "Senior Brother, Senior Brother, what do you want to eat? I'll go to the cafeteria to get it!"

The inside of the room replied: "No need, we have to practice swords for a while, we will go directly to the dining hall to eat." He poured several cups of herbal tea and put them on the table in the courtyard, waiting for the boys to change their clothes and come out. Immediately said: "Brother, brother, I'll pour the tea."

The teenagers said thank you and went to the bedside to drink tea, while he stood aside with bright eyes.

"Brother, is it much harder for you to practice the exercises now than before?"

A teenager nodded: "Well, it's okay, it's just that it was a little bit harder when I first practiced."

He scratched the edge of the table again and asked, "I heard that a new sword has been issued?"

The other boy smiled: "I'm sorry, Junior Brother, the newly issued weapon has a spirituality. The master said that before you can fully control it, you should not show it to others."

He stared straight at the waists of those young men: "Isn't it okay to just take a look without taking out the scabbard?"

The young man looked up at the sky: "Ah, it's getting late, we have to hurry!" He threw down his teacup and left, followed by the other two young men.

He stood by the stone table and watched the young men walk away, then slowly lowered his head and sat curled up on the ground.

I stared at him, not knowing what expression to show.

Even if he didn't lose the magic talisman, he probably wouldn't be able to enter the book, because his cultivation base is much weaker than other disciples.It's not that he doesn't have the roots of wisdom, but that the mental methods he practiced are not suitable for him.

The basic mentality of the Xuanguang School is to enlighten and then cultivate, just like digging a well, digging out the spirituality of the disciples with a shovel, and then attracting them for cultivation.But this child is not suitable for this method. His spirituality is like a trickle in a mountain stream. He must first use the sea of ​​​​hearts as a pool to store and nourish, and then follow the trend.

Seeing that this kind of special system does not require much advanced cultivation, it stands to reason that Taoists of the Xuanguang Sect should not be ignorant.

It's just because I think this child is "deep in dust, clever and wise, wisdom is not pure, and is not a material for Taoism".

Xiao Huoya sobbed silently for a while, then picked up the basic exercise book and practiced hard.When the sun was setting on the western mountain and the night was falling, the teenagers who lived with him did not come back.

Xiao Huoya walked around the courtyard a few times and ran out.Several disciples patrolling the mountain came to meet them, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here, junior brother?"

He said: "The brothers who lived with me have not come back, I want to come out and have a look."

Those big disciples then laughed and said: "They are all meditating in front of the Patriarch Hall. They have to be like this when they are just registered. Junior brother, hurry up and go back to sleep."

Xiao Huoya obediently bowed his head and gave a hum, and retreated to the side of the road.After the big disciples left, they quietly slipped to the Patriarch Hall.

The newly enrolled young disciples were all sitting cross-legged outside the Patriarch Hall. Xiao Huoya was watching from a distance behind a tree, imitating those disciples, waving his hands and feet, and sitting cross-legged.

I couldn't help flicking the branches to remind him.

He was watching secretly like this, and he had already been discovered by the elders in charge of the field.It was useless to remind him, before he had time to open his eyes, the field supervisor was already standing in front of him.

Xiao Huoya was taught a lesson.

The elder of the field supervisor said to him earnestly: "To cultivate the Tao, you must first cultivate your mind, follow the nature, and advance slowly. Impatience and tricks are not the right way. If your heart is not right, how can you realize the right way?"

I listened, always feel familiar.

It turns out that in this series, no matter whether they are immortals or humans, their rhetoric is similar.

Xiao Huoya returned to his residence with his head drooping, and sat in the dark courtyard, sobbing again.

In the middle of the night, I did something rather boring.I used a dream capture technique, pulled Xiao Huoya into a dream, and gave him a booklet.

"Little boy Weiyuan, I will give you a volume of heavenly scriptures. Remember to strictly guard the heavenly secrets and never disclose them to others."

Xiao Kuoya looked down at the booklet in his hand in a daze, and then looked up at me.After I finished speaking, I touched the top of his head, and retreated invisible in a puff of smoke, showing the demeanor and mystery of the Great Immortal.

I wondered if I was too idle, meddling has never been my style.

Well, it's a bit of fate to be able to meet each other.And I do have a lot of free time.

The next morning, the little Kuoya woke up and found the booklet under the blanket, and froze on the bed in a daze. Hearing the sound of other teenagers getting up, he quickly put the booklet into his arms.After everyone else had left, he rushed to the courtyard, carefully looked around, then hid in a remote corner, and opened the booklet.

I thought I didn't need to read any more, so I left the Xuanguang faction.
