The old man's eyes swept over the group of children playing at the entrance of the village. His eyes were calm and calm. He turned a blind eye to the group of strong, lively and active children and just passed by everyone.
Finally, it accurately landed on Luo Nian'an, who was standing quietly next to the locust tree with a thin figure and clean and clear eyebrows.
The moment their eyes met, the old man's originally calm eyes suddenly lit up, his pupils slightly condensed, and his steps suddenly stopped.
The old man stepped forward slowly, his eyes locked on Luo Nian'an, and he looked at it carefully, from top to bottom, without missing an inch.
The closer he looked, the more intense the surprise and joy in the old man's eyes became. His original dull complexion was completely replaced by facial expression. He nodded repeatedly and exclaimed in low voice:
"How wonderful! How wonderful!"
"A small village in the mountains, in a remote place, actually hides this peerless jade, Innate Dao Body, it is made from the foundation of heaven!"
The old man's eyes were blazing, full of shock and joy, and his tone was filled with excitement that could not be concealed. "Excellent bones, clear Daoist heart, and unparalleled talent. The most suitable one for the Immortal Dao. It is unique and once in a thousand years!"
"I have traveled Eastern Domain through thousands of mountains and rivers, looking for geniuses for decades, and I have never seen such a pure and transparent person with the supreme ability to cultivate immortality! I never expected that such a peerless genius is hidden in this nameless mountain village!"
The sound of exclamation fell in the ears of all the children. They were confused and difficult to understand, but they made the air become more and more silent.
Da Hu and others looked at bewilderment. They subconsciously looked at Luo Nian'an, who was thin and didn't look anything out of the ordinary. They were filled with confusion.
In their eyes, Luo Nian'an is frail, not good at playing, quiet and reserved, and is far inferior to Da Hu who is physically strong. How could he be praised so highly by this mysterious old man?
Only Luo Nian'an stood there, his heart beating wildly, his hands subconsciously clenched tightly, his fingertips trembling slightly, and the long-standing expectations and longings in his heart suddenly exploded.
Cultivation!
Talent!
Genius!
These words that he longed for day and night, longed for, but were always out of reach, all fell on him at this moment.
The old man calmed down the excitement in his heart, stabilized his mind, walked up to Luo Nian'an, leaned down slightly, his eyes were gentle and solemn, looking at the young man with clean eyebrows and pure heart in front of him, he spoke slowly, his voice was clear Youyuan, with the rhyme of the great road:
"Child, I ask you, are you willing to follow me, walk on the path of immortality, cultivate the great road, achieve immortality, and escape from the mortal world?"
A simple sentence, like thunder, exploded in Luo Nian'an's mind.
Luo Nian'an stood there in a daze, his mind went blank, countless days and nights of obsession, countless days and nights of yearning, countless days and nights of unwillingness, all surged out at this moment.
The young man's dark eyes suddenly lit up with unprecedented brilliance, full of unbelievable surprises, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable trembling and anxiety:
"Cultivation as an immortal?... Can I really do it? Grandpa, am I really qualified to cultivate as an immortal?"
He still remembers Da Hu's firm assertion, everyone's denial, his futile hard training day after day, and the countless times of disappointment and self-doubt in his heart.
He was weak, weak, born in a lonely family, and had no foundation. Everyone said that he had no chance of becoming an immortal.
Luo Nian'an has always dreamed of cultivating immortality, but he never dared to truly believe that he could really embark on the path to immortality that he dreamed of.
The old man looked at the pure desire and anxiety in the young man's eyes, smiled kindly, slowly raised his hand, caressed his long snow-white beard under his chin, and spoke with a firm tone, each word resoundingly:
"Of course you can."
"My name is Dan Quezi, and I am the current head of the Eastern Domain Zhengdao Sect Pill Sun Sect. I have known countless people in my life, and I will never make a mistake."
"You are born with a Daoist spirit, a pure mind, and a perfect Daoist foundation. You are a natural material for cultivating immortals. Your talent is unparalleled. Your future prospects are limitless, and your achievements far exceed those of ordinary monks."
"Today's chance meeting is the fate between you and me as master and disciple. If you are willing, I will make an exception and directly accept you as my personal disciple. I will personally teach you the supreme Tao and guide you to the path of immortality and cultivate the path of immortality!"
Personal disciple!
The head of the great sect personally teaches Daoism!
The real fairy road!
Luo Nian'an's heart beat violently, and joy was like a tide, completely covering his whole body.
All the obsessions and expectations that had been held for months, even days and nights, were fulfilled at this moment.
He looked at the detached, immortal-like old man in front of him, his eyes filled with extreme joy and longing, and he almost blurted out "I do".
As long as you nod your head, you can break away from the shackles of the mortal world, step into the path of immortality, acquire supreme power, no longer be weak and helpless, and be able to protect your father's stability for the rest of his life.
But at the moment when his lips were about to open, Luo Nian'an's mind suddenly showed the appearance of the small courtyard in the back mountain.
The gentle and gentle eyebrows of Luo Chuan emerged, the appearance of his father accompanying him to read and practice calligraphy every day, and patiently teaching him how to behave, and the companionship of fireworks day after day, gentle exhortations, and steady protection.
His father never allowed him to practice immortality. He only allowed him to study peacefully and live a stable life.
Dad said that it is more important to study wisely and live a down-to-earth life than to seek immortality in vain.
If I rashly agreed to leave with the old man to practice in the Immortal Sect, leaving Falling Flower Village, and leaving my father who was with me day and night, would my father be sad?
Will you be lonely?
Most of the ecstatic state of mind cooled down in an instant, and the turbulent excitement slowly subsided, replaced by deep hesitation and hesitation.
The smile on the young man's face faded little by little, the light in his eyes dimmed slightly, and his excited and excited figure suddenly became quiet. The little hands hanging by his side were clenched tightly, his lips were pursed, and he fell into a long silence.
I was full of joy, but I didn't dare to agree easily.
Dan Quezi With such experience, he could see through the entanglement in the young man's heart at a glance. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked gently, "My child, why are you silent? The opportunity is in front of you and the road to immortality is just around the corner. Why are you hesitant?"
Luo Nian'an raised his head, his clear eyes full of seriousness and anxiety, and his childish voice sounded softly, full of worries and worries:
"Grandpa, I... I'm afraid my father won't agree."
After saying this, all the children present were startled.
Luo Nian'an was given the path to immortality that others dreamed of and couldn't get. It's really hard to understand that he would hesitate to give up because of his family's concerns.
Dan Quezi Hearing this, he sighed slightly, and a bit of understanding and approval flashed in his eyes.
A young boy, faced with an unfavorable destiny, can still miss his loved ones, never forget his original intention, not be greedy for glitz, not pursue shortcuts, his heart is pure and affectionate, which is rare, and it shows the value of Daoism.
Dan Quezi stroked his beard again, with a solemn and sincere tone, patiently persuading. "My child, you need to know that practicing the great path is destined by destiny. It is determined by chance. You can't force it, and it's useless to stop it."
"You are endowed with supreme immortality and are born with a Daoist body. You are destined to walk on the path of immortality, realize the Great Dao, and emerge from the mortal world. This is your destiny and opportunity, which cannot be restricted by the mortal world."
