Chapter 122 The True Embryo is Born
"Thank you for your enlightenment, Taoist. I will keep it in mind and will never forget it."
Jiang Lin bowed deeply towards the back of the Taoist Master Zhenzhu.
Although as the saying goes, the master can only lead you to the door, but the practice is up to you.
But this door does not only refer to the door of spiritual practice, but all doors.
This is the benefit of the orthodox path. No matter what method you practice or what path you cultivate, there will always be a master who has a broad vision to give you advice and guide you in the most appropriate direction.
There are countless methods in the universe. If you want to practice everything or practice blindly, you will never be able to follow the right path.
It is said that all things return to one, but how many people in the heavens and myriad worlds have reached that state?
Even the Three Pure Ones, who seem to be the embodiment of Tao, do not dare to say that all things return to one, but rather that each is differentiated.
The master of Taiqing Taoism, the source of Yuqing Taoism, and the ancestor of Shangqing Taoist scriptures.
The Jade Emperor is in charge of all the gods, spirits, and saints in the three realms. He overlooks the heavens and holds all the power. Isn't there a time when he will turn his calamity around?
Therefore, Jiang Lin completely understood what the Taoist Master Zhenzhu wanted to say.
The most important point about the authentic and correct path is that when you are a cultivator walking alone on the path of cultivation, there will be an elder who will consider you wholeheartedly, plan for you, and whom you can trust 100% to "guide you into the door."
Why are there so few independent practitioners who can achieve enlightenment? It is because there is no one to guide them.
Why is the devil so popular? Because the devil has no moral integrity but is selfish.
Those who start shouting "I want to find an invincible path of my own" right from the start are all idiots.
Even if one is truly the only genius in the universe, one must reach a fairly advanced realm before one can try to deduce his own path with supreme Taoism and immense perseverance.
To reach that step is a realm that countless practitioners desire but cannot achieve.
Jiang Lin took a deep breath, and suddenly raised his head as if he sensed something.
Suddenly, a divine light burst out from the direction of the guest hall of Taisu Palace.
The divine light was not very bright, but it dispelled the darkness in the sky!
In an instant, the world became clear!
The Taoist Master Zhenzhu also stopped, looked up, and then turned around to look at Jiang Lin.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, the Taoist master Zhenzhu grabbed Jiang Lin’s collar from the back of his neck.
Before Jiang Lin could react, he found himself at the gate of the courtyard.
"Master Dao, can you say hello next time?"
Jiang Lin helplessly pulled his hair that was blown by the wind.
"Next time, next time."
Taoist Zhenzhu nodded with a smile and looked at the other people in the small courtyard.
Liu Yunxiu stood at the door, prying through the crack and looking inside on tiptoe.
And on her shoulder, Xiao Qingluan looked up at Liu Yunxiu's profile with human contempt in her eyes.
How could this child be so stupid in his life?
Behind Liu Yunxiu were three Taoist priests.
The bald Taoist priest, the long-bearded Taoist priest, and the brick-throwing Taoist priest.
The four Taoist masters in Taisu Palace are all here.
And now there is only one explanation for the strange scene just now.
Jiang Lin looked up at the delivery room and watched silently.
After about half an incense stick of time, the divine light emanating from the delivery room gradually faded away.
At the moment when the divine light was completely gathered...
"Wooooooa ...
Waves of baby cries rang out in the delivery room.
"Ouch."
The Taoist Master Zhen Zhu was amazed and said with a smile: "You are full of energy."
"Squeak..."
The door of the delivery room was opened, and Zhao Dongling walked out with a calm expression. He looked around with a smile on his face.
"Mother and child are safe, there are no setbacks."
Hearing this, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the true fetus is born smoothly, everything else is a minor problem, including the evil monster wave that just besieged Taisu Palace, which is just a mere embellishment.
"Master, can I come in?"
Liu Yunxiu looked at the delivery room that was separated by a gap and asked eagerly.
After hearing from Zhao Dongling that mother and child were safe, her worries had mostly dissipated.
Now I have become curious about my nephew whom I have never met.
"can."
Zhao Dongling glanced at Liu Yunxiu, raised his hand to cover her body with a layer of magic power, and then nodded.
Although pregnant women who have just given birth should not be exposed to the wind, it can always be avoided with magic.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest!"
Liu Yunxiu nodded and rushed into the delivery room impatiently, completely ignoring the fact that Xiao Qingluan was still standing on her shoulder.
Jiang Lin watched with a smile on his face and asked Taoist Zhen Zhuo, "The true fetus has been born. I wonder what to do next?"
The successful birth of the real fetus is only the first step.
This is the incarnation of the Cave Star Lord, who must have come with a mission and cause and effect.
The question now is, what is the mission of this star god after reincarnating into the human world?
Is it related to the current situation in the Three Realms?
It would be a lie for Jiang Lin to say that he was not curious about these things.
Upon hearing this, Zhenzhu Daoye shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
"From the beginning to the end, the only decree from the ancestor that Tai Su Palace received was to ensure the smooth birth of the true fetus."
Dao Ye thought for a moment and said, "According to the records in the classics, three months after the True Embryo is born, the divine energy will be completely restrained and the spiritual essence will begin to revive."
"When that happens, we will no longer be harmed by demons and evil spirits."
"I'm thinking of asking Mr. Liu to stay for another three months, and then I'll let Mr. Liu decide whether to stay or leave."
"No matter what, she is the mother of the real fetus."
Jiang Lin nodded, only to see the door of the delivery room opened again.
Liu Yunxiu walked out carefully holding a swaddling baby, and walked slowly, fearing for any accidents.
Seeing this, several Taoists including Jiang Lin surrounded them.
"My sister said, please take a look at the child, and by the way, please give the child a name."
Liu Yunxiu spoke softly, afraid to disturb the child in her arms.
"After all, the child's successful birth is thanks to the blessings of all the Taoist masters and Taoist priests."
"These are my sister's exact words."
Hearing this, several Taoists immediately smiled happily and looked down at the baby in the cradle.
The newborn baby has a wrinkled face, closed eyes, and tightly clenched hands. It is really not pretty.
But the Taoist masters seemed to like it more and more. They were all experienced and wise men, so how could they not know the intention of Liu Yuwei's action?
When a true fetus is born, he will grow up in the mortal world, and this name will accompany him throughout his life.
This is a good fate. Originally, Liu Yuwei could have named the name herself, and the Taoist masters would not have any objection.
But now, Liu Yuwei asked several Taoist priests to come up with this name, which was a good omen for them.
At the same time, she also expressed her own attitude, which was: no matter why Taisu Palace came to protect this child, in the eyes of me, the child's mother, the Taoist masters and even Taisu Palace are the benefactors of my Liu family.
With such an attitude, how could the Taoists not be satisfied?
Jiang Lin, who was standing by, scratched his chin and asked, "What's the child's last name?"
The Taoist master Zhenzhuo was stroking his beard with one hand, and calculating the child's birth date with the other hand.
"My sister said that the child took her late husband's surname."
Liu Yunxiu said, looked at Jiang Lin, and smiled: "What a coincidence."
"My deceased brother-in-law has the same last name as the Taoist priest."
Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard this, but he was not surprised. The surname Jiang is not very common, but it is not a rare surname either.
"Um……"
Taoist Zhenzhu pondered for a moment and said, "This child has all five elements, but he has too much fire. If we were to name him, we would have to give him a name that is 30% water-oriented to suppress it, but not too much..."
At this time, the Taoist priest with a long beard beside him said with a smile: "How about a single name, Qi?"
"Although it is taken from an ancient evil god, this child's fate can suppress it."
Hearing this, several Taoist masters were in deep thought, and Jiang Lin looked up silently. "Is it not good?"
Jiang Lin blinked and said weakly.
"What's wrong with that?"
The Taoist Zhenzhu looked at Jiang Lin curiously.
Jiang Lin scratched his hand and said, "I can't really explain it, but I just feel it's a little... strange?"
"Well... it's a little strange."
Taoist Zhenzhu nodded in agreement and said, "After all, it is named after an ancient evil god, so it is somewhat unlucky."
As he spoke, Dao Ye sighed, "If someone really gave their child this name, it's a bit unreliable."
Several Taoists discussed in low voices.
In the end, the word "clean" was decided.
There should be three points of water, but not too much, otherwise it will not suppress the fire but put it out.
At the same time, the word "pure" also means clear wisdom and peace of mind, and it comes from the mantra of purifying the mind.
"Yes, let's decide on this word."
Taoist Master Zhenzhu looked at Liu Yunxiu and said with a smile, "The Taoist masters like me are shallow in their cultivation, and choosing one character is already the limit. If Mr. Liu intends to give the child a two-character name, the remaining character should be decided by Mr. Liu himself or the child's grandfather."
"Sister, what you mean is that a single character is enough for the name. When the child grows up and is crowned, we can ask the child's grandfather to give him a character."
Liu Yunxiu smiled and nodded.
Then, he suddenly looked at Jiang Lin and said with a smile: "There is one more thing I need to trouble you with, Taoist Priest."
"Ok?"
Jiang Lin blinked and looked over with some confusion.
Liu Yunxiu smiled and said, "According to folk rules, children must have a nickname. It doesn't need to have a meaningful meaning, just something that comes easily to the tongue. Could you please trouble me, Taoist priest?"
Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect that he would have a “role”.
Although it was unexpected, Jiang Lin had no intention of refusing and began to think about it.
As for nicknames, the traditional rule among the people has always been that they should be "down-to-earth" or "cheap", because it is commonly known that cheap names are easier to keep.
Because in folk legends, the King of Hell was disgusted by the child's "vulgar" name and would not even think of taking him in.
In fact, what it comes down to is that we hope our children can grow up safely.
The question is, although there really is a King of Hell in this world, does he really dare to take this child away?
Jiang Lin expressed doubt...
After all, strictly speaking, this Lord Dongmingxing can be considered as the boss of the King of Hell, and to be honest, they are both from the North Pole faction.
far away...
Jiang Lin withdrew his thoughts, and words such as "Er Gou", "Stinky Egg", and "Little Leftover" subconsciously popped up in his mind.
By the way, if I really give this child such a nickname, won’t this blessing turn into a grudge...
Come to think of it, Mandong Star is also my boss...
Jiang Lin thought about it, and finally decided not to take the risk. He looked up and said, "Banzi, how about it?"
Liu Yunxiu nodded simply and said, "Listen to the Taoist priest."
Zhenzhu Daoye nodded with a smile and said, "This nickname is indeed good."
"Banzi" is another name for tiger. Putting it here naturally represents the hope that the child will grow up safely and without any disaster.
After all, even if it is a young tiger, not ordinary wild animals dare to provoke it.
It also means strong in secret.
Jiang Lin waved as he watched Liu Yunxiu walk back into the delivery room.
"Jiji."
Xiao Qingluan returned to Jiang Lin's shoulders. He bowed to Master Zhenzhu and said with a smile, "Master, this matter is over. I have completed my mission as a protector. I will take my leave now."
"Ah."
Taoist Zhenzhu was not surprised. He also knew that Jiang Lin was now "a criminal".
After all, the affairs of the three major evil sects in Hangzhou City cannot be hidden from those who practice cultivation, not to mention that Qiyun Mountain is not too far from Hangzhou.
"I haven't had time to talk to my little Taoist friend."
Taoist Zhenzhu patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder and praised him: "Millions of people live because of you. You are worthy of being a Taoist practitioner."
"Little Taoist friend, you did very well."
Jiang Lin smiled embarrassedly and said, "I was still impulsive."
"Hahahaha!"
The Taoist Master Zhen Zhuo laughed and said, "At your age, it would be strange if you didn't have the passion of a young man."
"Monks don't have so many ties, and I won't keep you here. Just remember, don't fall behind in practicing my Zhenwu Sword Technique."
Jiang Lin nodded seriously, bowed, and said, "I will definitely not disgrace the Zhenwu School."
After saying that, he bowed to all four directions.
"My fellow Taoists and uncles, I am leaving now."
"Go."
The Taoist Master Zhenzhu smiled and nodded.
Jiang Lin bowed and simply turned and left.
"Little Taoist friend, do you need me to give you a ride?"
The Taoist Feizhuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
Jiang Lin's pace suddenly quickened.
Behind me, I could hear the teasing laughter of several Taoist priests.
…………
Jiang Lin walked all the way to the foot of Qiyun Mountain, thought for a while, took out a talisman, left a thought, and then burned the talisman.
Watching a wisp of green smoke drifting towards the direction of Taisu Palace, Jiang Lin retracted his gaze, turned around and left Qiyun Mountain.
He sent a letter to Chen Qingning to say goodbye, and asked her to tell the Liu sisters.
"This time, I have three more friends, which is not bad."
Jiang Lin smiled and turned his head to look at Xiao Qingluan and asked, "What do you think?"
"Jiji!"
Little Qingluan jumped up and down to express her dissatisfaction.
Jiang Lin laughed dumbly and said, "Yes, I almost forgot about you."
"Jiji?"
"Where to go next?"
Jiang Lin tightened his black cloak and looked towards the north.
"Let's go to Kyoto."
"Some things have to come to an end."
"Jiji?"
"what's up?"
"It's not a good thing. We're bound to get into a fight."
"Jiji?"
"Beat the bad guys, of course."
"Jiji!"
"Okay, you'll help me fight then."
Under the setting sun in the evening, the young Taoist priest was chatting happily with the little bird on his shoulder, and they were walking away against the light.
