Chapter 538 Ascension to Immortality!

“I don’t know if I can handle it.”

The eldest brother repeated with a smile, then he left the copper stove he was leaning on and took a few steps forward.

The huge square gradually became quiet. The Taoist disciples looked at the eldest brother. They didn't even know what he meant.

The Heavenly Master said that he couldn’t hold on, so how could the eldest senior brother hold on?

The eldest senior brother walked up to the other senior brothers and sisters, with a gentle smile still on his honest face. He seemed to always be like this.

No matter what happened, he always stood by his fellow brothers and sisters.

“You guys, Master’s words are so clear, but he just didn’t have the heart to say it out loud.

Some things are better for me, the eldest brother, to point out, because I am the eldest brother."

He shook his head and pointed to the sky:
"Heaven is not perfect yet, so let's make it perfect"

The eldest brother turned around and looked at every blade of grass and every tree on Longhu Mountain with such concentration, as if he wanted to engrave everything here into his heart bit by bit.

This orphan, who was picked up by the old Taoist priest when he was 6 years old, has lived on Longhu Mountain for decades.

This is his home. The eldest brother still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were slightly red. He bowed deeply to the old Taoist priest:
"Master, I, the disciple Zhang Quandao, am willing to become an immortal and save the heaven!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiao noticed that the expressions of his parents and senior uncles changed. There was a look of astonishment, which then turned into understanding.

Zhang Xiao was shocked. Becoming an immortal?
Isn't becoming an immortal a good thing? Why does it seem like it's not something worth looking forward to?
Did he come back after becoming an immortal? Did he go to another place?
The eldest brother’s words seemed to ignite something, and also seemed to remind him of something.

"Master, I am willing to become an immortal and save the heaven!"

"Master, I am willing!"

"Master, I can do the same!"

"willing."

In the square, more and more Taoist disciples bent down, and even many young disciples who did not understand what was happening were infected by this emotion.

He also shouted loudly that he wanted to ascend to heaven.

But the commander slapped them hard on the head and told them to get out of the way.

Zhang Xiao looked at them in astonishment. He saw his parents also bowing down. He saw their red eyes and the reluctance in the looks they cast at him.

I saw relief and determination on the faces of my senior teachers.

Seeing the old master in tears, he nodded:
"it is good!"

After a moment of silence, the Heavenly Master nodded again and repeated:
"it is good!"

He waved his sleeves and said, "In one day, those who have severed their worldly ties and whose golden light is more than three inches will be included in the Ascension List and each will have his own duties."

The Taoist disciples bowed again. The old Taoist turned around and looked at Zhang Xiao, who had already guessed something. The old Taoist looked a little evasive and just said in a low voice:
"Xiaoxiao, go talk to your parents first."

When I turned around, I saw my parents standing not far away, waving at me with a smile, but their eyes were still a little red.

The bad feeling in Zhang Xiao's heart became stronger and stronger, and he opened his mouth to say something.

But Li Qingshu raised her hand to stop him.

"Xiaoxiao, our family hasn't gone out to play for a long time. It's a rare day that we have a free day. How about we go out for a walk?"

Zhang Xiao looked at the expressions on his parents' faces and suddenly felt a strong sense of grief. He nodded hoarsely:

"it is good!"

The three of them walked out of the hall together and walked slowly on the forest path in the mountains.

Suddenly, there was a strong wind. The branches and leaves of the trees on both sides of the road swayed and rustled. When the wind died down, a huge black tiger quietly appeared at the end of the forest path.

"Tiger!"

The couple started laughing again and waved at the big black tiger.

The black tiger, which was as big as a van, walked over, its fierce eyes showing an unusually gentle look.

Just like an experienced old man looking at two naughty children at home, the tiger nudged Zhang Chengdao with its wet nose, which was their most common way of greeting.

"Shan Jun, my sister Shu and I have decided to ascend to heaven. Can you help us look after Xiao Xiao?"

Zhang Chengdao said in a low voice, and the tiger's eyes suddenly became sharp, but it seemed to have thought of something, and it turned into sadness. Zhang Xiao became more and more sad.

The tiger suddenly stretched out its tail, rolled up Zhang Xiao and placed him on its body, right at the neck where my mother liked best.

The couple also turned over and rode on the tiger's back, touching the thick fur on the tiger's back. This time, his voice lacked the previous excitement.

He just whispered softly, "Go ahead, Tiger!"

The black tiger spread out its four claws and a strong wind rose up from nowhere, supporting its huge body, and it rushed towards the forest behind it like flying.

It was still the same huge bluestone slab. The big black bear was lying on it with its legs crossed, scratching the crescent-shaped white hair on its chest with its claws comfortably.

The strange phenomenon in the sky seemed to have no effect on it. As a black bear that had passed the test of Longhu Mountain, its mother's mother's mother lived here.

There have been countless storms over thousands of years, but nothing has ever been able to truly defeat Taoism.

Anyway, there is a door to hold up the sky if it falls, so the big black bear is not afraid.

All Xiong had to worry about in his life was guarding against tigers, Li Qingshu and Zhang Chengdao. Now that the three evils of Longhu Mountain were gone, Xiong had nothing to worry about in his life.
The wind from afar brought a familiar smell. The big black bear shrugged his nose and came closer.

Its small eyes opened wide and it let out a miserable howl. The three evils of Longhu Mountain gathered together, bringing with them a strange smell. They were most likely minor troublemakers.

The big black bear struggled to get up and wanted to leave, but the tiger had already arrived. The black bear wanted to run away, but the tiger roared at him.

The black bear's body stiffened, its hair exploded and slowly fell down. It turned around and looked at the tiger in disbelief, its small eyes looking at Zhang Chengdao and Li Qingshu on the tiger's back.

"Ow?"

The couple smiled and nodded at it, but the big black bear sat down on the bluestone slab and actually started to sob and wipe away tears.

Before Zhang Xiao could react, the three men and two beasts sat down on a gentle hillside.

The black tiger was lying behind them, and they leaned against the soft fur on its belly. The big black bear sat beside them, and contrary to its usual behavior, it took out a few pottery jars.

It is filled with clear honey and everyone is invited to eat it.

“Xiaoxiao, ascending to immortality is not a secret within the Taoist sect, but not many people know about it.

But after what Senior Brother said, I guess everyone has guessed it. You should have guessed it too, right? "

Zhang Xiao nodded silently, and after a while he whispered:
"After becoming an immortal, you will enter the heaven and complete the heaven?"

"Almost." Li Qingshu touched Zhang Xiao's head and said softly: "You can't become an immortal with a mortal body. The so-called immortality is to die and rely only on the soul.

Then all spiritual intelligence will be wiped out, leaving only the empty soul to be sealed into heaven."

Zhang Xiao mechanically scooped out honey spoonful by spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth, as if the sweetness could dilute the pain and bitterness in his heart.

The jar of honey was soon empty, and the sticky honey dripped all over the floor, even staining the front of her shirt.

But Zhang Xiao still scooped out the honey one spoon at a time, and stuffed the empty spoon into his mouth. The big black bear looked at the wasted honey with some distress.

But he picked up his jar of honey with some trembling and handed it to Zhang Xiao.

Tears flowed silently from his eyes. Zhang Xiao opened his mouth. He felt he couldn't breathe. The intense pain throbbed in his body.

He put down the spoon and pounded his chest hard.

Zhang Chengdao suddenly grabbed his arm. Zhang Xiao raised his tearful face and looked at him lifelessly.

But I found that my father had a smile on his face. He pointed to the mountains, rivers and lakes at the foot of the mountain. It was a beautiful scene.

"Does it look good?"

Zhang Xiao still looked at him without saying anything.

"Remember the mountain I took you to? How many steps were there?"

"Ten thousand. Seven thousand and twenty-four levels."

Zhang Chengdao patted Zhang Xiao on the shoulder, as if entrusting him with something:
"In order for this scenery to last forever, and for people to appreciate it, someone has to sacrifice. There have always been people on this land who are willing to risk their lives and die.

Is there any sacrifice more worthwhile than sacrificing for the whole world, for this land, for your family, and for you?
Xiaoxiao, you have to live well!"

Li Qingshu covered her mouth, and those boiling emotions suddenly burst out.

"After mom and dad leave, you must be well and take good care of yourself."

The defenses held up by Heaven were weakening faster than anyone expected, and the black fog in the sky was eager to fill up this area.

People who had just breathed a sigh of relief were once again worried.

"Ka-ka-ka-ka"

This fine sound of collapse resounded throughout the entire earth, and the personnel on duty responsible for observation and protection brought news that was unbearable for everyone.

The pale golden light curtain was retreating, and the speed seemed to be getting faster and faster.

At first, it could only retreat one or two meters per hour, but after a few hours, it had reached ten meters per hour.

And there were already faint cracks on the light curtain.

Under such circumstances, a large-scale evacuation unprecedented in the history of the Earth began, and all border residents migrated to inland cities.

Each person was only allowed to carry no more than five kilograms of luggage, and they waited silently for evacuation as a family unit.

Compared with the Spring Festival travel rush, both the number of people to be evacuated and the urgency of time are far greater.

Time! Time! Time!

Time is the lifeline. The ascension ceremony requires time to prepare. We must withdraw people no matter what and hold on until the Taoist ascension ceremony is over.

The whole country started to move at an extraordinary speed.

Every second counts now!

Xu Laogen took a puff of his pipe, looked at his wife, who was reluctant to give up this and that, and stuffed her bag slowly, and couldn't help but said irritably:
"What are you doing? I told you, it's only ten pounds, and you're already burning your butt."

The wife glared at him fiercely and shouted, "This is our coffin money. If you don't want it, how can I live?"

She picked up some odds and ends, walked up to Xu Laogen, and cursed, "You coward, you idiot, why didn't you dare to ask to bring more when the villagers came to talk to you?
Look at that old Wang, he was throwing a tantrum and insisted on bringing two more kilograms!

Boss, I didn't realize you were such a coward after all these years. How come you are such a coward?"

Xu Laogen didn't say anything, but just tied the thing his wife stuffed into his waist and waved to his son who was standing beside him with a runny nose.

"Dog boy, come here!"

After a lot of effort, they followed the village's instructions and arrived at the village entrance wearing clothes that were stuffed bulging underneath, and were then taken to the station by a truck that had been waiting there.

But I found that the train station was already full of people.

The woman poked his arm and whispered:
"Look, there are soldiers there! There are so many of them! They don't have to squeeze into the train like us."

Xu Laogen secretly took out his life-threatening pipe, took two puffs, and followed the direction his wife pointed. Sure enough, there were densely packed soldiers in the distance. They were the front line facing the disaster and also the dam.

"What are you looking at? The kids have to follow behind us!"

Xu Laogen lowered his head and glanced at his son who was hugging his thigh:
"Gou Wa will also join the army in the future, be powerful and defend our country!"

"it is good!"

"report!"

"speak!"

"The light curtain is currently retreating at a steady speed of about ten meters per hour."

The officer with two three-star badges on his shoulders nodded, turned around quickly, and said to Zheng Wei, who had the same rank beside him:

“The light curtain is now about ten kilometers away from the station, even taking into account the incremental increase in the light curtain’s retreat.

I think there is enough time to evacuate!
Our mission from above is to ensure that all residents are evacuated within 12 hours. Optimistically, we will have all residents evacuated in another 6 hours."

Zhengwei nodded, but looked a little worried:

"It's better to be safe than sorry. No one knows how fast the light curtain will be withdrawn. It would be terrible if it was exponential.

After all, there are hundreds of thousands of ordinary people behind him, and the station farther away is a big station where millions of people are waiting to be evacuated.

All the locomotives that could be used were used, even the sealed old steam locomotives were dragged out!"

The officer nodded: "Then let's continue to observe. In short, let the soldiers be prepared. They must ensure their own safety and be careful when observing!"

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and it seems that a crisis will be resolved in this way.

The Taoist people set off quickly. According to the arrangements of the Ascension List, they went to every corner of the Chinese land.

Even those wizards were sent out by Dumbledore, like the little Taoist priests from the Taoist sect, to be with the soldiers.

They understand these extraordinary things better.

The crowd was slowly surging, with quarrels and crowds, but in the face of the unparalleled strong grassroots, they eventually evacuated in an orderly manner.

At least, they did not abandon anyone. Even the bedridden elderly were carried on stretchers, squeezed out of empty spaces, and evacuated first.

Xu Laogen originally thought that the family of three would be able to travel to other cities safely.

But the story would not be so smooth after all, as a huge crack suddenly appeared on the light curtain in the sky.

There were screams in the crowd.

Important things should be said three times, and it is a true happy ending! Waiting for the little master's comeback, and it is still carried out in a reasonable way.
