Exposed After I became an Immortal - Chapter 20
Chapter 20: Zhu Biao Enters the Profound Path, Takes the Dao Name Wangchen!
…
At this moment, Zhu Biao’s face was filled with surprise. The name of the Realized Being Pure Yang was well known. Eight hundred years ago, he was a legendary figure in the Daoist immortal world!
If this Realized Being Xuanji was indeed the successor of the Realized Being Pure Yang, then his saving me seems … plausible!
At this moment, Zhu Xuanji smiled faintly.
He just lightly nodded. Neither confirming nor denying!
To a certain extent, He was indeed counted as the successor of the Realized Being Pure Yang. After all, he also practiced the “Pure Yang True Skill” passed down by the Realized Being Pure Yang.
However, Realized Being Pure Yang did not have the ability to bring the dead back to life or to regenerate bones!
At this moment, Zhu Xuanji walked forward leisurely.
Zhu Biao followed closely behind. Looking at the vast fields in the distance, full of lush spiritual herbs and fruits. Then looking at the magnificent and ethereal Yunmeng Dao Pavilion!
And that incredible Spirit Gathering Array.
Everything seemed to be overturning Zhu Biao’s impression of Zhongshan!
“Realized Being! Is this still Zhongshan? I used to come to Zhongshan once a year! Why have I never seen Realized Being, nor this Yunmeng Dao Pavilion! Nor have I seen these vast medicinal fields!” Zhu Biao looked around in confusion!
He couldn’t help but look towards Zhu Xuanji.
At this moment, Zhu Xuanji’s face only showed a calm and serene expression.
Over there, Da Huang had already gone and returned like the wind. He returned to Zhu Xuanji. The monkey Xiao Liuzi was on Da Huang’s back.
He handed the White Jade Spirit Mulberry Fruit to Zhu Xuanji.
Zhu Xuanji took the White Jade Spirit Mulberry Fruit in his hand.
“Master! This fruit is fully ripe! Can I eat one?” Xiao Liuzi looked eagerly at Zhu Xuanji.
Zhu Xuanji looked at this fellow’s drooling eyes and couldn’t help but laugh: “Go ahead, go ahead! But only one! Don’t be greedy! You won’t be able to digest it if you eat too much! Da Huang, you go watch him!”
Da Huang responded immediately!
“Yes! Master!”
As soon as the words fell, Da Huang carried Xiao Liuzi and ran back into the medicinal fields! Leaving Zhu Biao dumbfounded.
“This … the monkey and the big mountain dog can actually speak!”
If, the Yunmeng Dao Pavilion and the vast medicinal fields before had only shocked Zhu Biao’s perception of Zhongshan.
Now, the monkey and the big mountain dog speaking human words directly overturned Zhu Biao’s worldview completely!
“It turns out, there really are spiritual beings in the world! Not just simply spiritual! But also able to converse with humans!” Zhu Biao stood there in a daze. Unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
At this moment, Zhu Xuanji handed the White Jade Spirit Mulberry Fruit in his hand to Zhu Biao.
“Take it and eat! This White Jade Spirit Mulberry Fruit is good for you. You don’t need to doubt. This is indeed Zhongshan. Da Huang you see is the big mountain dog you saw every year when you came to sweep the tomb. Since the fifteenth year of Hongwu.
“I have always known whenever you came up the mountain. I saved you because I think you are a good person! Skilled in both literature and martial arts, working hard for the country, caring for the people. You, as the crown prince, have indeed worked too hard. In life, you couldn’t enjoy a bit of peace, working hard for half your life.
“I practice in Zhongshan, although I can’t see the affairs of the world. But I have heard from you about the sufferings of the people. Today, upon learning that you were to be buried. I thought to extend your life. Let you see the splendour of the world again! From now on, stay on this mountain, accompany me! Practice with me! In the future, it will benefit you greatly!”
When Zhu Biao heard Zhu Xuanji’s words, he stood there stunned.
“What? Realized Being wants me to stay on Zhongshan and accompany him? Realized Being … I am the Crown Prince of Ming! Now that I have revived, how can I stay in the mountains to practice in seclusion! I should go down the mountain and return to the palace, to assist my father! Please, Realized Being, grant my wish!” Zhu Biao cupped his hands towards Zhu Xuanji and made a move to leave.
At this time.
Zhu Xuanji smiled and said: “Crown Prince Yiwen! Let’s not talk about whether you can leave Zhongshan now! Even if you can go down the mountain. If you return to the palace. What can you do! The Ming Dynasty will continue to run without anyone. Your fate was already cut off! It is I who extended your life!
“Of course, I won’t force you to practice in seclusion here! But, after going down the mountain, how long can you live. Do you want your father to suffer the pain of losing you again? The human world is just a big dream! Royal power and wealth, where can they compare to attaining the Dao and living long!”
Zhu Xuanji’s words were not alarmist. Although he was the one to revive Zhu Biao, without continuous practice. He would live at most another ten years! Although human effort could change destiny, but, ultimately, human effort had its limits!
Unless one continued to practice diligently, there was no changing one’s destiny!
After hearing these words, Zhu Biao withdrew his steps! He stood still, calming himself! Zhu Xuanji’s words still echoed in his ears.
In his eyes, thoughts flashed one after another!
After a moment, it seemed he had made a decision! He turned, bowed deeply to Zhu Xuanji.
“Please, Realized Being, teach me the way to prolong life! The art of cultivating the Dao!”
Hearing this, Zhu Xuanji couldn’t help but laugh. This change was too fast!
“Why did Crown Prince Yiwen change his mind so quickly?”
Zhu Biao said solemnly: “The Realized Being’s words have awakened me from a dream! I don’t want my father to suffer the pain of losing me again. So, please, Realized Being, teach me the way to prolong life, the art of cultivating the Dao! Once I have achieved success in my practice! It will not be too late to go down the mountain!”
After hearing this, Zhu Xuanji smiled and said nothing more.
After practicing here for ten years, if Zhu Biao still wants to go down the mountain, that would be strange.
“In that case, stay in Yunmeng Dao Pavilion. You can call me Xuanji. Let’s address each other as fellow Daoists! I have thought of a moniker for you! Let’s call you ‘Wangchen’! * What do you think?”
