If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 333 I’m sweating profusely

A cushion is placed in front of the statue of the Three Pure Ones.

The old Taoist priest first knelt on the cushion and muttered to himself for a while, then stood up and asked Xiaoyu to kneel on it and pray devoutly.

Not only was the Sanqing Hall not empty, all the Taoists in the temple entered the hall, sat in an orderly row behind her, and chanted the Huangting Taoist Scripture together.

The chanting lasted for more than an hour.

Then, the old Taoist priest led all the Taoist priests out of the Sanqing Temple and closed the door.

Xiaoyu was the only one left in the hall, with a small box placed in front of her.

There are two cup blocks in the box. The cup blocks are made of bamboo strips, half-moon shaped, with one side convex and the other side flat.

"Your Majesty, the Three Pure Ones, your disciple Yu Fengxian has something to report: On September 15th of this year, in the Liusha region of Xiniu Hezhou, the Western Shu Kingdom's Yingxiang Mansion..."

Xiao Yu slightly closed her eyes, tried her best to clear her mind, and spoke neither too fast nor too slow as she recounted in detail how she went to Guaizi Mountain to fight ghosts, accidentally fell into the Great Rift Valley, saw the Demon Eye, and then created "The Dao Heart Refining Demons".

"There are two chapters in Dao Heart Demon Refining, the contents are as follows"

Then she went on to explain again the general outline of "Refining the Demon with the Heart of Tao" and the two methods of cultivation.

Except for the part of the visualization picture that could not be described in words, she spoke out the rest of the content in front of the Three Pure Ones statues without leaving out anything.

Of course, "The Dao Heart Refining Demon" is somewhat special. It cannot be practiced by relying solely on exercises. One must truly feel the power of the rotten giant eye, must look it in the eye, and draw the original power of the magic eye from the "foreign object".

Or one day Xiaoyu becomes a big devil, and she transforms into the magic eye, allowing the "devil cubs" to feel and accept the evil power of the magic eye.

"My disciple has run into a big trouble. It turns out that the mastermind behind the Ghost Country at Guaizi Mountain is actually a disciple of Elder Jinchan from Lingshan Mountain in the West.

By chance and coincidence, the disciples repeatedly ruined their plans.

They must hate me to the core and will definitely seek revenge on me, so I need to reforge the sword bone as soon as possible."

After explaining why he wanted to practice "The Heart of Taoism", Xiao Yu made a vow with a more sincere expression and tone: "If the Taoist Master has mercy on me and blesses me to practice "The Heart of Taoism", I will never use it to hurt a good person. All those who were killed by it were the evil people I originally intended to kill."

After making a wish, Xiaoyu picked up the divination blocks from the box.

Hold the cup and divination blocks between your palms, pray to the Three Pure Ones statues again, and then open your clasped palms.

"Clang~~~~" The crisp sound of the cups and divination blocks falling on the floor tiles was very loud in the quiet and spacious hall.

Xiaoyu took a closer look and a look of joy appeared on her face.

It's a holy grail!
The two sides of the cup divination block are convex for yang and flat for yin. The one yin and one yang form a holy hexagram, representing the Taoist's agreement.

She picked up the cup and divination blocks and held them in her palm again, chanting to the Three Pure Ones statues again.

After a moment, "clang~~"

The two cups and divination blocks are both flat and facing upwards, with two yins forming a yang hexagram, representing that the Taoist ancestor neither agrees nor disagrees.

Xiaoyu remained calm, picked up the divination block and threw it again, "clang~~"

The two cup blocks are both convex and facing upwards, which are Yin Gua, representing that the Taoist ancestor disagrees.

Xiaoyu still had no expression on her face. She picked up the divination blocks and continued throwing.

It would be best if you could get the divination right the first time (three consecutive yeses or three consecutive noes), but if it doesn't work the first time, try a few more times. Even from a probabilistic point of view, as long as you throw enough times, you will always get a result.

After another three times, Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat: the result was the same as before, one Sheng Gua (agree), one Yang Gua (neither agree nor disagree), and one Yin Gua (disagree).

With her innate spiritual perception of numbers, she vaguely felt that it was not a coincidence.

After three more times, it was still a holy hexagram, a yang hexagram, and a yin hexagram.

Half an hour later, Xiaoyu was sweating profusely.

Every three rounds, the results are exactly the same, one holy hexagram, one yang hexagram, and one yin hexagram.

Without a single exception, the laws of probability were completely killed!
God has appeared!
Oh, no, it’s the Three Pure Ones who appeared.

——Oh no, the Three Pure Ones actually appeared! The Taoist is looking at me! The Taoist is staring at me with his sneaky eyes, damn it! Has the Taoist discovered my purple palace? Has he noticed that I am a time traveler?
Xiaoyu deeply understood what "Ye Gong likes dragons" meant.

It was she who begged Daozu for his attention, and when he really paid attention, she became afraid again.

——Don’t panic, don’t be confused, get the results first!

Xiaoyu resisted the urge to put down the divination blocks, turn around and run away. He cleared all distracting thoughts from his mind and continued to throw the divination blocks.

An hour later, the old Taoist priest outside the house could no longer hold back and whispered, "Yu Fengxian, what's going on? Is there no result yet? If it's three Yin Gua, don't force yourself and obey the will of the Taoist Patriarch."

No voice responded to him.

But the old Taoist priest could still hear the sound of the divination blocks falling to the ground, and knew that the people inside were still throwing the divination blocks.

He mumbled something inaudible and turned back to his bedroom.

But he couldn't sleep without seeing the results.

He tossed and turned on the simple bed for more than half an hour. He could not bear it any longer and returned to the Sanqing Hall wrapped in a quilt.

The people inside were still throwing divination blocks.

The old Taoist found a corner sheltered from the wind and squeezed himself in.

I was in a daze and didn’t know how much time had passed.

The crisp sound of throwing cups and divination blocks that had been echoing in my ears finally stopped.

The old Taoist shuddered and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

As expected, the sound of throwing divination blocks disappeared, but the dull sound of moving heavy objects was heard.

He couldn't help but quietly unlock the door and push it open a crack.

At a glance, the old Taoist's blood boiled, and anger rushed from his anus to his throat, "You brain-broken idiot, why are you moving the statue of the Taoist ancestor?"

Yu Fengxian stopped throwing the divination blocks and climbed onto the altar, pushing a bronze statue of the Taoist ancestor with all her might.

She had never practiced any special body-building techniques, so her physique was not particularly strong.

The statues of the Three Pure Ones weighed thousands of pounds each, so she did not move them, but pushed them hard in the other direction.

"I've consulted Daozu, don't worry about it." She replied and continued pushing.

"What are you asking for? Aren't you asking for permission to cultivate your Taoist heart and refine your demons?" The old Taoist rushed into the hall, stretched out his hand to grab her arm, but couldn't move it.

Xiaoyu did not practice any physical training, but her physique was much stronger than that of an ordinary person. In terms of physical fitness, the old Taoist priest was just an ordinary person.

"The Taoist master has appeared, please don't be rude." Xiao Yu said.

"I'm being rude?" The old Taoist priest almost suspected that she had really made a mistake in her brain by throwing the divination blocks.

"Shut up and watch from the side." Xiaoyu didn't explain.

If the old Taoist priest's martial arts skills were better than hers, he would never swallow his anger at this moment, but he couldn't beat her and couldn't even pull her away.

Moreover, it was already disrespectful for her to push the statue of the Three Pure Ones. If he quarreled with her in the Sanqing Temple, it would be even more disrespectful.

The old Taoist priest suppressed his doubts and anger and watched her push the statue of Laojun to the west first, facing the west, and then push the statue of Lingbao Tianzun to the east, facing the east.

The Sanqing Hall was originally designed to face south and the statues of the Three Pure Ones in the hall also faced south.

At this time, only the Yuanshi Tianzun in the middle remained in his original position, while the other two leaders were moved.

The old Taoist priest's forehead was throbbing with veins.

At this moment, he only hated himself for not having the combat power of an immortal, otherwise he would have had a good fight with "The Wind-Feathered Phoenix Immortal with the Brain".

After moving the statue, Xiao Yu just glanced at the old Taoist priest, then returned to the mat, chanted something again, and threw the divination blocks.

"Bang~~" The first sound, the old Taoist priest saw clearly from the side, was the Yin hexagram representing opposition.

The old Taoist priest had no expression and no special feelings.

"Bang~~" The second time, it was still a Yin hexagram.

The old Taoist's heart beat faster.

"Bang~~" The third time, it was still a Yin hexagram.

The old Taoist wanted to shout: As expected, the Taoist Ancestor does not allow you to practice magic skills, but you are unwilling to obey and still insist on getting the Holy Grail three times!
But as soon as this thought came to his mind, he felt a little horrified: If Yu Fengxian had been insisting on the Holy Grail three times, wouldn't that mean that the Taoist ancestor had really appeared?

The Taoist ancestor appeared, but she still had the audacity to move the Taoist ancestor's statue. Isn't this courting death?
Then the old Taoist saw her change her seat and sit in front of the statue of Laojun on the west side. He threw the divination blocks three times in a row, and all three times were Yang.

Laojun did not comment on her practice of magic.

The old Taoist was shocked again: the Three Pure Ones appeared, not just one Taoist ancestor appeared, but two Taoist ancestor
He saw her turn around and go to Lingbao Tianzun again. He drew the divination blocks three times, all of which were the holy grail. Lingbao Tianzun agreed.

——The Wuliang Heavenly Venerable and the Three Pure Ones have all appeared, but their opinions are different!

His body was shaking a little, and beads of sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

"Plop!" His knees softened and he knelt down firmly.

The old Taoist priest became completely obedient.

He remained motionless and silent, just staring with eyes wide open as he watched Xiaoyu return to the statue of Laojun and throw the divination blocks over and over again.

The more she threw, the more horrified he became: they were all Yang hexagrams!
——The Dao Ancestor has definitely appeared!!

There was no longer a trace of doubt in his mind, and he became more and more sweaty and uneasy: Oh no, the three ancestors have different opinions. No matter who he listens to, at least one Taoist ancestor will be angry. But if he listens to no one, it will be even more terrible.

He now understood why she was able to be so patient and tormented the statue for more than two hours without saying a word, tormenting both herself and the statue.

She was now being roasted on the rack and couldn't get down at all.

After another half an hour, the old Taoist was already numb.

She knelt before the statue of Laojun and threw countless rounds of divination blocks, but they were all yang.

No other hexagrams have appeared even once.

Amid endless torment, a night passed, the eternal lamp in the hall was still burning, and the sky outside was already turning red.

"Bang bang bang" the Taoists got up and knocked on the door gently.

The old Taoist priest moved his legs, which were almost stiff as wood, and retreated to the door of the temple. He stood up, opened the door a crack, and only showed his mouth. He whispered: "The Taoist temple is closed today, the Sanqing Hall is closed, and the outer gate is closed. You retreat. Oh, no need to retreat.

Call everyone over, let's all share in the blessing from the Taoist Ancestor."

"What blessing do you mean by the Taoist ancestor?" the host outside asked puzzledly.

"It's not convenient to say now. Anyway, all the Taoists in the temple should go to the gate of the temple to meditate and chant scriptures." said the old Taoist.

Although the dog meat Taoist eats meat and drinks alcohol, he is very prestigious in the Taoist temple.

Even though the old host didn't understand, he still did as he was told.

After a while, a group of Taoists came outside the hall carrying cushions. They moved quietly and recited the Huangting Sutra in a low voice.

Another half hour later, the dog meat Taoist priest in the hall finally discovered something.

He quietly approached Xiaoyu, pulled her to the side, and whispered: "It's good to be sincere, but you can't always do it recklessly. You have to be flexible."

"You mean, we should only listen to Lingbao Tianzun and not the other two Daozu?" Xiaoyu had thought so a long time ago, but didn't dare to really do it.

If the person who agreed to her practicing magic skills was not Lingbao Tianzun but Taishang Laojun, she would not be so "cowardly".

"Of course not. Since you have worshipped the Three Pure Ones, the three Taoist ancestors have also taken pity on you and appeared in your presence. You must satisfy the three Taoist ancestors."

The old Taoist priest first expressed his attitude with a serious expression, then lowered his voice to explain: "I want you to be flexible and adaptable, which is based on the content of your aspiration.

You can't keep saying 'don't use it to hurt a good person, just kill the bad people you were planning to kill anyway'.

You'd better swear a solemn oath. If you harm a good person, you will be taken away by Daozu with Purple Sky Divine Thunder immediately."

—— Damn it, I didn’t dare to swear such a poisonous oath before because I was not sure whether Daozu would appear. Now that Daozu is 100% certain to appear, you want me to seek death? !

Xiaoyu seemed to be lost in thought, but in her heart she was cursing the old Taoist priest who had given her such a bad idea.

It is difficult to have a standard answer to the term “good person”, and the Three Pure Ones are too difficult to serve.

The three ancestors have different ideas and concepts, so their definitions of “good people” are bound to conflict.

What if she made a mistake and broke her solemn oath, and Daozu really struck her with a purple divine thunder, wouldn't she die miserably and cowardly?
But the old Taoist priest took the initiative to say this, and she couldn't refuse since the Three Pure Ones were watching from the side. If she refused, it would be tantamount to directly stating that she just wanted to be sneaky.

It will definitely anger Daozu.

Maybe even the "generous elder" Lingbao Tianzun would dislike her.

She had to find a way to have the best of both worlds!
