Chapter 15: Chapter 14: Adopted a child.

Translator: 549690339

Just as Xuanqing was about to take action.

An accident occurred.

Hum~

In the air.

A sudden and unique fluctuation emerged, then spread out in all directions like a halo.

“Daoist Priest, hold on!”

Accompanied by an old voice.

The next moment.

The originally solid ground seemed to turn into a swamp, and an old man wearing a fortune and longevity hat, and with a long beard, crawled out from it.

Huh??

Xuanqing looked over.

This old man had white hair and beard, a ruddy complexion, yet his body presented a bizarre and illusory state. He also held a walking stick in his hand.

This image… instantly made people think of Tudi Gong!

“Daoist Priest, all living things in Heaven and Earth have a predetermined life span. This old woman’s life span has come to an end. If you save her, I’m afraid it will bring disaster~”

The Earth Deity cupped his hands together and said solemnly.

Hearing these words.

Xuanqing’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

It is well known that the great Dao is fifty, and the way of Heaven is forty-nine, but there is still a ray of life left.

Before this, the old woman’s forehead was shrouded in deathly black, and her fate line had indeed ended.

However, after Xuanqing drank the water given by the little girl, everything changed. This old woman should live, both by reason and by emotion.

“This old woman’s death energy on her forehead has already dissipated. Why can’t I save her?” Xuanqing asked.

“Cannot save, cannot save!” The Earth God said with a bitter expression.

“Although this old woman’s fate has changed due to the Daoist Priest, as long as the life and death record in Hell hasn’t changed, when she should die, she will die.”

Having said that.

The Earth Deity paused slightly, looking at the weak old woman on the ground with complicated eyes.

After a moment.

He continued, “The little god has been serving as the Earth Deity here for more than a hundred years, and this old woman is actually the cousin of my younger generation.”

“Yama allows people to die at three, no one can live until five, unless the Seven Star Lamp can be ignited, and the Life Lord in heaven is prayed for to add life to them!”

“Please forgive me, Daoist Priest, do not embarrass the little god!”

After finishing, the Earth Deity bowed slightly.

At this moment.

Xuanqing’s face did not look good.

From the words of this Earth Deity, the so-called ‘life span’ in this Journey to the West World was not the real life span, but the ‘life span’ set by Hell or the gods in Heaven.

Although the death energy on the old woman had clearly dissipated, she still couldn’t escape the fate of death.

This was completely different from the real world.

In the real world, after he gave the Body Protection Talisman to the intern journalist at the television station, he genuinely changed her fate and allowed her to survive through death.

“Hoo~” Xuanqing took a deep breath.

It seemed that the water in this Journey to the West World was much deeper than he had imagined.

It appeared that the human race was flourishing throughout the primordial world, but in fact, everything was arranged by the gods.

“Alright, I won’t give the Earth Deity a hard time. However, this girl is destined to be with me, and I intend to take her as my disciple. Do you have anything to say?”

Xuanqing said with a serious expression.

By drinking the bowl of water from the little girl, a good fate was established. Since he couldn’t save the old woman, this cause and effect would naturally fall on the little girl.

Hearing Xuanqing’s words, the Earth Deity breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Earth Deity and Xuanqing both came from the Nine-Grade Immortal Records, their status was completely different.

That’s why the Earth Deity was so polite and even respectful to Xuanqing.

“No problem, no problem. It’s her good fortune to be with the Daoist Priest!”

“The little god will not disturb you any more. Farewell!”

Shoo shoo~

This Earth Deity came quickly and left quickly as well. After he finished speaking, his cane hit the ground, and his whole body sank.

…..

Xuanqing watched the Earth Deity leave.

After a moment.

He finally turned his gaze to the little girl who had been bowing her head in silence.

“What’s your name?”

“I…I don’t have a name!” The little girl’s bony fingers fidgeted nervously, an inexplicable sense of inferiority surging up in her young heart.

Upon hearing this.

Xuanqing looked up and down the little girl; beneath her dirty face were a pair of big eyes, but her overly thin cheeks made her look not at all adorable.

“Too skinny isn’t good looking, from now on you shall be called Fat Ya!” Xuanqing gently said, not minding the dirtiness of Fat Ya’s hair and lightly patting her head.

Fat Ya seemed to vaguely understand and nodded. She did not know why the brother in front of her was giving her a name, but she faintly felt that her life seemed to be changing.

“Fat Ya, call me Sir in the future, understand?”

“Sir…Sir!” Fat Ya lowered her head and timidly called out.

…..

Just like that.

Xuanqing now had a skinny little girl by his side.

And it wasn’t until the next day that he brought Fat Ya back up the mountain.

As for the old woman, he used some silver to buy a coffin and buried her by the chaotic graves in the town.

Returning to the cave.

Faced with the unfamiliar environment, Fat Ya bit her fingertips, fear filled her eyes.

“Fat Ya, come here!”

Xuanqing waved at her.

Other than destiny being the reason he took in this girl, he indeed needed someone to do odd jobs in this world.

“Sir!” Fat Ya obediently walked over.

Xuanqing nodded slightly, then motioned for her to sit down cross-legged. He was going to help Fat Ya sort out her fragile meridians.

As immortals touched my head, I vowed to live forever.

Under the sorting of the pure mana, the damaged meridians, which were originally broken due to long-term hunger, were all repaired.

Fat Ya squinted her eyes and felt warm and comfortable all over.

“Fat Ya, I shall keep you for twelve years. After twelve years, you can choose whether to go down the mountain and enter the world or continue to live in seclusion and cultivate!” Xuanqing withdrew his mana and said indifferently.

“Fat Ya doesn’t know, it’s all up to Sir’s arrangements.” Fat Ya muttered softly, somewhat confused.

Seeing this.

Xuanqing couldn’t help but laugh.

After all, where would a six-year-old child understand any of this.

“Alright, you eat something first, and later you’ll learn to recognize characters with me!” Xuanqing smiled slightly and said softly.

Considering the current situation.

It seemed that in order to gain merits, he still had to start from the real world. It was almost impossible to gain merits in a world where myriad gods and Buddhas ruled both heaven and earth.

….

Time flies in cultivation.

Two months passed in a blink of an eye.

During this time, Xuanqing, besides cultivating and teaching Fat Ya the basics, had also cultivated an acre of Ling Tian and planted some fast-maturing spiritual grains and Ling Cai.

As a cultivator, always eating worldly food would be very disadvantageous for cultivation; the lower the cultivation, the bigger the impact.

Therefore.

He planned to achieve self-sufficiency in food production.

After being nurtured with good food for two months, Fat Ya had transformed from a bony skeleton to a true ‘Fat Girl’.

Her chubby, round face and big, starry eyes made her incredibly adorable.

Of course.

Xuanqing wasn’t the kind of person who would raise someone without having them work. After getting Fat Ya’s body back in shape, he arranged for her to do some housekeeping tasks within her capabilities.

For example, she would cook, fertilize and water the Ling Tian outside the cave, and weed the fields.

“Fat Ya, I’ll be in closed-door cultivation for more than a month. Just stay nearby and don’t wander around.” Xuanqing commanded.

“Yes, Sir!” Fat Ya nodded solemnly.

There was some dried meat stored in the cave, and Ling Cai had been planted in the Ling Tian. He didn’t need to worry about her going hungry.

Though the taste of the food wasn’t great, it was much better than her earlier days of hunger.

….

After giving instructions.

Xuanqing turned and entered the bedroom he had carved out in the cave.

According to the weather forecast in the real world, there was going to be a thunderstorm in two days. He wanted to take this opportunity to make some Thunderstruck Peach Wood to exchange for cultivation resources.

Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed.

With a thought.
