Chapter 651: The Road to Spring
"My master has this skill. Ordinary people can practice it. All they need to do is endure hardships. And from what he said, it seems that the more hardships one endures, the faster one can practice?"

Wang Ping'an's eyes suddenly lit up. Just as he was thinking about whether he should take advantage of the time when his good junior fellow apprentice was learning skills from his master and he was secretly learning from him, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind and he cursed inwardly:
"My brain is filled with water. I have so many ways to practice cultivation, but I still want to learn this skill of strengthening cultivation through suffering. I have suffered a lot in my previous life. If I suffer in this life, what's the point of living?"

"Don't worry, I will force you to learn this technique even if you don't want to!"

Taoist Xuanqing looked at Le Zhuang with a smile, as if the wolf grandmother saw Little Red Riding Hood, and said playfully: "But since you have made up your mind and want to learn this technique, it is a good thing. There is no need for me to force you!"

Le Zhuang looked at Taoist Xuan Qing's appearance. For some reason, he felt uneasy in his heart and couldn't help asking, "Uncle, why is this happening?"

"You know your uncle's situation. When he was young, he practiced in the Withered Wood Temple. Now that his master is gone, he is the only one left in the Withered Wood Temple. I am old, and I don't know how long I have left to live. I have to think about the Withered Wood Temple and find a successor!"

At this point, Taoist Xuanqing paused and looked at Le Zhuang seriously. From the wounds all over Le Zhuang's body, all of them were caused by the vicious dog. There was not a single intact part of his body. He was simply born to be a good candidate for their Ku Mu Temple's cultivation method. His face and eyes were filled with an undisguised passion. He said:

"I have been traveling the world for so many years, but I have not found a good candidate to inherit the Kumu Temple. How about you, kid, are you willing to learn the skills of the Kumu Temple and inherit the Kumu Temple's tradition?"

Dead tree view.

But it was not founded by his master. His master, the Taoist Kurumu, also inherited the tradition of the previous generation. It is said that Kurumu Temple has a history of thousands of years. Whether it is true or not, he does not know, but he clearly knows that Kurumu Temple has at least several hundred years of inheritance.

How could they not have experienced turbulent times over the years? The reason why their Kumu Temple has been passed down for so many years is not just because their Kumu Temple does not cause trouble.

In turbulent times, even if one hides at home and becomes an obedient citizen, one cannot avoid unexpected disasters. The reason why their Kumu Temple has been passed down for so many years is not only because they do not cause trouble, but also because they have special abilities.

but.

Their method of practice of the Dead Tree View is about the revival of spring for a dead tree, and about finding opportunities from life and death. It also requires tempering oneself through suffering, and very few people can embark on this path.

He had two Taoist children before, but after years of observation, he found that although these two Taoist children could be considered to be from poor families and could endure hardships, they were not yet capable of embarking on the path of cultivation to bring back the dead to life.

Wang Pingan...

He couldn't see what kind of character he had, but even if Wang Ping'an could and was willing to endure hardship, he would not let Wang Ping'an take the path of a dead tree coming back to life.

It’s not that this path has limited achievements. On the contrary, according to records, the achievements of their Kurumuguan path are extremely terrifying and can lead to immortality.

But every time it’s a life-or-death situation!
Wang Ping'an is an innate Taoist body, even if he practices ordinary methods of cultivation.

It is possible to become an immortal. There is no need to take the risky path to immortality.

As for Le Zhuang... although he has no talent for practicing Taoism, it happens that their Kurumu Temple's method of practice does not require any talent for practicing Taoism. Besides, he has connections in the underworld, so even if he fails, the worst that can happen is that he can enjoy life in the underworld.

With his grandmother's identity, if she went to the underworld, she would be a first-class second generation - no, to be precise, third generation.

but.

Before Le Zhuang embarked on this path, he had to help Le Zhuang get married and have children, so that the bloodline of their Le family could be passed on in the world. Otherwise, when Le Zhuang failed on the path of revival and left no bloodline in the world, and went to the underworld, his grandparents would know... He was not afraid of that old thing Le Wenmao, but he was afraid of his Wenjun's nagging.

"I am willing!"

Le Zhuang nodded. He had no idea about inheriting the Kurumu Temple, but when he remembered his grandfather's instructions before he left, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

Taoist Xuanqing looked at Le Zhuang, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and asked, "Why, do you have any more questions?"

"Uncle, even if I become a Taoist priest, can I still get married and have children..."

Before Le Zhuang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Taoist Xuan Qing, who said jokingly, "I thought it was something else, but it turns out you're thinking about women. Except for those who practice the Supreme Merciless Dao, most Taoists don't care about getting married and having children.

Not to mention that we in the Kurumu Temple do not forbid marrying and having children. Even if it is prohibited, I am currently the abbot of the Kurumu Temple and I can cancel this rule.

After all, your grandfather's last words were for you to help your Le family carry on the family line!"

"Uncle..."

Le Zhuang laughed awkwardly and wanted to say something, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Taoist Xuan Qing, "Alright, stop talking nonsense, I'll take Ping An back to Kurumu Temple first, you take good care of it here, if anything happens, remember to come to Kurumu Temple to find me first!"

How could he not know that this kid Le Zhuang was most likely trying to say that he didn't want to continue the family line so as not to harm the girl he liked.

As for why he had such an idea, maybe it was because he had been bullied by that bastard Zhu Xing for so many years, and he was afraid that others would get in touch with him and bring revenge from the Zhu family.

perhaps.

He just asked whether Taoist priests could marry and have children. He really hoped that the Taoist priests in Kurumu Temple could not marry and have children.

pity.

This kid doesn't know that with his grandmother's connections in the underworld, if he marries a wife, it would not be a disaster for her, but a help to her. After all, everyone will die one day, sooner or later, it is just a matter of time. For ordinary people, it would be difficult to be an animal in their next life, let alone a human being.

With the relationship with this kid's grandmother, it would not be difficult to arrange for his wife and her family to be reincarnated in the next life, even into a wealthy family.

Le Zhuang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw Taoist Xuan Qing turning away without stopping, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, looked himself up and down, sighed slightly, and said self-deprecatingly:
"Given my situation, marrying and having children? Wouldn't that be a disaster for the girl..."

"Snapped!"

Before he could finish his words, he was hit on the arm. The burning pain made him look down and saw that the person who hit him was Wang Ping'an, his nominal 'senior brother'.

Le Zhuang was surprised and asked, "Little brother, why did you hit me? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
