Chapter 946 Iron Tree Tests the Heart

Chapter 946 Iron Tree Tests the Heart

But after Xu Xian left for more than half a step, he immediately used all his energy and rushed towards Tie Shuxian's cave as fast as possible.

But unfortunately, he learned the art of immortal martial arts and did not know the art of flying. When fighting before, he was able to move in the air because his true energy exploded under his feet. With this, he used his left foot to step on his right foot to reach the sky. Act of.

Later, he stood in the clouds with Bai Suzhen, which was also Bai Suzhen's cloud-riding technique and had nothing to do with Xu Xian.

Therefore, Xu Xian couldn't walk in the sky like Du Qian and walk the shortest straight distance.

He could only climb mountains and cross rivers when encountering water, so the actual distance was more than twice as long as Du Qian's.

But even so, with his true energy running at full strength, Xu Xian still arrived here in just three hours.

Following the instructions of the thousand-year-old ginseng essence, he came to the valley, only to find that there was no cave in the valley. Instead, there was a seemingly ancient Taoist temple on the mountainside next to it.

Xu Xian frowned and thought for a moment, then decided to go to the Taoist temple to ask if he could find out the whereabouts of Tie Shuxian.

So, Xu Xian turned and ran towards the Taoist temple. After several leaps, he easily arrived in front of the Taoist temple.

At this time, the gate of the Taoist temple is open, and through the gate, you can see the Sanqing Hall in the temple, as well as two figures, one tall and one short.

The taller man is a pilgrim, and he is offering incense in front of the Sanqing statue in the temple. The short man, a white-haired old Taoist priest, is holding a broom and sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground in the temple.

Seeing this scene, Xu Xian subconsciously felt a sense of intimacy in his heart.

After all, in the sparsely populated Ziyangguan, he has always been the one doing the sweeping.

Xu Xian raised his hand and knocked on the open door. When he caught the eye of the sweeping Taoist priest, he stepped into the view.

Seeing this situation, the old Taoist priest moved his hands and looked calmly: "Where are the guests coming from?"

Xu Xian bowed to the old Taoist priest and said softly: "My surname is Xu Mingxian. I am a lay disciple of the Taoist sect. I studied under the master Ziyangguan Zishan of Lin'an Prefecture. Now I have taken the liberty to come here because I have something to ask for."

"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Ziyang Temple!"

The old Taoist priest nodded and said, "Fellow Taoist, it doesn't matter if you say so."

Xu Xian's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "To be honest, Xu's trip was because of the instructions from the elders. He wanted to go to the Iron Tree Immortal Cave in this mountain to see the thousand-year-old Iron Tree Immortal..."

"I just don't know whether the Iron Tree Immortal doesn't want to see guests or has moved."

"I've been searching for a long time, but I still can't find the location of the cave."

"Since Guiguan is next to Iron Tree Immortal here, I wonder if there is any news about that senior..."

"I see." The white-haired old Taoist priest nodded slightly, looked at the expectant Xu Xian and said calmly, "Yes, I do know the location of Taoist Taoist Tieshu's cave!"

"You really know!"

Xu Xian's face was filled with joy, and he immediately stood up and bowed to the ground.

"Since you know it, please let the Taoist Master know. I would like to thank you very much. I will visit you one day to say thank you!"

The white-haired old Taoist priest's eyes moved slightly, he looked at Xu Xian who was bowing to the end and said calmly: "Don't be anxious yet, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Xu Xian was startled for a moment, and then he heard the old Taoist priest say calmly: "Pin Tao does know about Taoist Taoist Tieshu's cave, but Pindao is not related to Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist, and he has never explained why he asked to see Taoist Tieshu."

"If I tell you this rashly, if you have evil intentions, wouldn't I be harming fellow Taoist Tieshu?"

Xu Xian was startled, and immediately looked anxious, and quickly explained: "I met Senior Tieshu to ask for the Iron Tree Fairy Fruit and Iron Tree Flowers. I will never harm him. If Taoist Master doesn't believe it, you can come with me!"

The old Taoist priest shook his head and said stubbornly: "Although this poor Taoist is a practitioner, he only knows some Qi training techniques and has no magical powers. Even if I go with you, I can't help Taoist Tieshu."

"Besides, you also said that you are here for the Iron Tree Fairy Fruit and Iron Tree Flower."

"The combination of these two is a rare life-extending spiritual thing in the world. There are many people in the world of spiritual practice who covet it. How do you know that you are not the one with malicious intentions?"

Hearing the stubborn words of the old Taoist priest, Xu Xian was naturally extremely anxious.

He asked eagerly: "Then how can the Taoist Master give me some advice and ask to see Senior Tieshu?"

The old Taoist priest looked at him deeply, picked up the broom again, and while sweeping the floor, he said lightly: "First tell the poor Taoist everything about you..."

Xu Xian nodded and said quickly: "To be honest, I fell in love with someone. For some reason, her soul was damaged and she needs..."

"what reason?"

The old Taoist priest interrupted unceremoniously.

Xu Xian was startled, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and told him about Bai Suzhen.

However, because he was wanted in heaven, Xu Xian did not tell the whole story. He only said that he mistakenly believed in the demon, did bad things out of good intentions, and almost killed his sweetheart. Later, after receiving some advice, he came to see Tie Shuxian.

During this period, the pilgrims offering incense in the temple had been secretly glancing at the two people in the courtyard. He also held a strange device in his hand, preparing to record the conversation between the two and bring it back to Master Zishan.

Not long after, Xu Xian finished telling the story in a cryptic manner, and then sighed softly: "That's what happened. In order to cure her, and to make up for the mistakes he made, Xu came to ask for the Iron Tree Flower and Iron Tree Fairy Fruit... …”

It has to be said that Xu Xian's cover-up was quite successful, and Bai Suzhen's identity was not revealed throughout the story.

But unfortunately, this old Taoist priest, or Iron Tree Immortal, had long known that Xu Xian fell in love with a demon.

Hearing Xu Xian's answer, he was not satisfied, so he asked: "The soul is damaged, is she also a practitioner?"

"this……"

Xu Xian fell silent and showed hesitation.

The old Taoist priest looked at him deeply, turned his head, looked at the fallen leaves at his feet, and while scanning them with concentration, he said lightly: "My Taoist friend is sincere, so please come back!"

"No!"

Xu Xian panicked, then his expression became firm and he said: "No, she is not a human...she is a demon!"

Speaking of this, Xu Xian quickly added: "Although she is a demon, she is a good demon and has never harmed anyone. Not only that, there was a severe drought in Luoshui Town before, and no rain fell for a year. It was she who risked being wanted by heaven. She took the risk to bring rain to Luoshui Town. Although something went wrong afterwards, her bodhisattva heart can be seen from this incident..."

The old Taoist priest moved his hands for a moment, glanced at him and said, "You fell in love with a demon?"

Xu Xian lowered his arms, lowered his head, and nodded twice: "Yes."

The old Taoist priest asked again: "Is it because she suppresses the rain for falling water?"

Xu Xian shook his head: "No, I fell in love with her probably earlier than this..."

The old Taoist priest thoughtfully nodded and said, "Then she must be very beautiful."

Xu Xian's expression froze, and then he scratched his head in embarrassment: "Indeed... but that's not the reason why I fell in love with her. The young girl next to her is also very beautiful, but I don't have any feelings for her. "

The old Taoist priest stopped sweeping the floor completely, looked directly into his eyes and said, "Then what is the reason why you fell in love with her?"

Xu Xian was slightly startled and said hesitantly: "I...I...I can't tell either."

"Perhaps this is love at first sight. From the first moment I saw her, I feel like I have an extra disease in my heart. No matter what I do, as long as I think of Miss Bai's appearance, my thoughts become difficult to calm down."

"I originally thought this was the inner demon that Master mentioned, but later, I fell into Fa Hai's plan and harmed Miss Bai. When I saw her in pain in her dream, my heart was as sharp as a knife..."

"From then on, I completely understood that I fell in love with Miss Bai."

"Although she is a demon, it doesn't matter. I just want to be with her and never be separated..."

Seeing Xu Xian gradually getting better and speaking out his heartfelt words one after another, the white-haired old Taoist priest's mouth curled up slightly.

He shook his head and said softly: "As the saying goes, it takes a hundred years to cross the same boat, and a thousand years to sleep together. This is true for human love, but the love between a man and a monster is not that simple!"

"Silly boy, if you want to be with that snake demon, you have to be mentally prepared..."

Xu Xian was slightly startled, and then said firmly: "Does the Taoist master not believe in Xu's heart?"

The white-haired old Taoist priest shook his head: "It's not that I underestimate you, the human heart is always wavering and full of emotions and desires. Your heart is now on the snake demon, but if you meet someone more beautiful and better than her in the future, There’s no guarantee that he won’t be tempted.”

Xu Xian smiled and said: "Taoist priest, don't worry. If there is a more beautiful and better woman, there will naturally be a more beautiful and better man to match her. What does it have to do with me?"

"No matter how weak the water is, I only take one scoop, and my heart is only in one place!"

The old Taoist priest glanced at him and said: "Everyone is lustful. You also said that she is extremely beautiful. This fall in love at first sight may be due to lust. Once she grows old and turns yellow, will your heart still be with her?"

Xu Xian said firmly: "She is old, and I will grow old with her. My heart is still with her."

The old Taoist priest looked at him deeply and shook his head: "You know that she is a demon and will never grow old, so these words don't count. But if I tell you, after eating the iron tree fairy fruit, you will forget everything, and then you will forget everything." Can’t remember you either?”

Xu Xian smiled and said: "What's the matter? It's a big trouble. I'll get to know her again and tell her my name and where I live."

"I already understand what the Taoist Master means. There are indeed many difficulties in falling in love between a man and a man, but I have made up my mind. No matter what difficulties lie ahead, I will never waver. If there is a mountain, I will move it. If there is a river, I will move it. , I leveled the river."

"Even if the water of the East China Sea stretches as far as the eye can see, as long as it blocks in front of me, I will find a way to get through it. At worst, I can cut down trees and build ships, and just catch up. Master said that as long as your mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties!"

Looking at the firm look on Xu Xian's face, the white-haired old man's eyes became extremely complicated.

After a moment of silence, he sighed softly: "If...if she cultivates deeply in the future, she will only be one step away from becoming an immortal."

"But if she becomes an immortal, she will have to leave you... What will you do?"

Xu Xian was slightly startled, pondered for a moment, and said firmly: "If she has a firm Taoist heart and is determined to become an immortal, then I will naturally help her, and then give up martial arts and practice Taoism, strive to become an immortal as soon as possible, and reunite with her."

"But if...I mean if, she hesitates or wavers even a little bit about becoming an immortal, I will firmly keep her by my side, and I will bear all the regrets and sins!"

Hearing Xu Xian's words, the white-haired old Taoist priest was shocked and stared at him blankly, unable to speak for a long time.

Xu Xian met the old Taoist priest's gaze and said with some embarrassment: "Of course, the martial arts I practice is different from others in the world. Master said that if I practice martial arts to the extreme, I can also reach the gods and become an immortal and ancestor."

"So, the Taoist priest's problem is actually not a problem for me."

"It seems a bit hypocritical for me to say so firmly, but no matter what, I want to save Miss Bai and express my feelings in front of her, so..."

Xu Xian's expression hardened, he slowly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Senior Tieshu, please do it!"

The white-haired old Taoist priest came back to his senses, looked at him with complex eyes and said, "Did you see it?"

"Um."

"How did you get it?"

"Returning to senior, I only said that my sweetheart is a demon, but I never said that she is a snake demon..."
