Entering Taoism from the womb

Chapter 11 Beyond Everyone's Expectations

Time flies, eight months pass in the blink of an eye, and Zhao Pingan turns three years old.

Root bones can be measured at the age of three.

On this day, the Jiang Mansion paid a lot of money to hire the famous root bone measuring master, Daoren He, to enter the Jiang Mansion to measure Zhao Ping'an's root bones.

Measuring the root bones is very important. Only by knowing the root bones and constitution can we better teach students according to their aptitude, including using heavenly materials and earthly treasures to enhance the foundation. Otherwise, teaching martial arts that conflict with the root bones and constitution will not only achieve twice the result with half the effort, but also put people at risk. Wasted from practice.

Everyone in the Jiang Mansion is eagerly awaiting the measurement results of Zhao Ping'an's bones, and some even speculate that he is the legendary top warrior in history.

Jiang Shuyue was very confident in Zhao Ping'an's foundation, but she was still nervous.

At that time, she was rejected by her husband's family because she could not conceive a child with sufficient foundation. She experienced being asked to have an abortion, being demoted as a concubine, and being forced to leave the Zhennan Marquis Mansion.

She wanted to slap Zhao Yingpeng and Madam Zhennanhou hard in the face, make them regret their mistakes, and have Madam Zhennanhou and Zhao Yingpeng come to the door in person to plead with their mother and son to return.

Throughout Baidi City, many people were waiting for the results of Zhao Ping'an's bone measurement, and even a gambling house opened a betting market for this.

Such a child prodigy makes people curious about his basic skills.

Jiang Mansion, in a room with the door closed.

He Daoren touched and pinched Zhao Ping'an's body, and even entered the true essence detection.

Jiang Shuyue and Jiang Wen stood watching, looking expectant and nervous.

He Daoren frowned more and more, thinking that he had made a wrong measurement.

He measured it again and again and finally confirmed that he had not measured it wrong.

He finished the measurement, turned around, and said to Jiang Shuyue regretfully: "Mrs. Jiang, your son's bones are ordinary and he has a mortal body."

"How is that possible?" Jiang Shuyue couldn't help shouting, not believing it at all.

Jiang Wen also changed his face and said in disbelief: "Daozhang He, Lao Ma, please measure again."

He obviously thought that He Daoren had made a wrong measurement.

He Daoren sighed softly: "Pindao is also very surprised and feels sorry for the son. However, the master is really a mortal body, and Pindao has measured it again and again. Pindao guarantees that the measurement is correct with his many years of credibility."

Jiang Shuyue slumped and took two steps back, her body swaying, almost falling, unable to accept that Zhao Ping'an was in a mortal body.

Zhao Ping'an saw Jiang Shuyue's deep shock, and quickly stepped forward to support Jiang Shuyue, and shouted with shame: "Mother."

Jiang Shuyue came back to her senses and quickly hugged Zhao Pingan tightly into her arms. With tears in her eyes, she comforted Zhao Pingan and said, "Ping An, don't be sad. Mom believes that you are born extraordinary and will have a great future. Don't be afraid. Everything Everyone has a mother, everything has a mother..."

Listening to his mother's strong words to comfort him, Zhao Ping'an couldn't help hugging his mother tightly. He blamed himself very much in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red: "I'm sorry, mother."

In order to hide that he was an ancient holy body, he could only use the "Mortal Body" to deceive everyone, including Jiang Shuyue, who was full of disappointment and sadness.

"You have not sorry mother, you have not sorry anyone." Jiang Shuyue knelt down, touched Zhao Pingan's face with her jade hands, looked at Zhao Pingan, gave Zhao Pingan strength with her eyes, and said firmly, "You are excellent, you You are very smart. You have become an alchemist, amulet master, and a weapon refiner at such a young age. You have a photographic memory. One day of martial arts training is better than others' years of training. Mom has always been proud of you. "

Jiang Wen looked at his daughter and grandson and felt very uncomfortable. He just felt that God was so unfair. Why did he torture his daughter so cruelly.

He comforted Jiang Shuyue and said: "Yue'er, it's not necessarily a bad thing to be safe in the mortal body. At least it can be safe."

Jiang Shuyue suppressed her emotions. She stood up and responded to her father: "That's what dad said."

"Ping'an, although you are in a mortal body, you are extremely intelligent and have a strong understanding. You can also learn martial arts and practice in your mortal body. As long as you work hard, you will have great achievements in the future." Jiang Wen said to Zhao Ping'an again, "So, you must Don’t give up on yourself.”

Zhao Ping'an replied seriously: "Grandpa taught you to remember Ping'an carefully."

Seeing that Zhao Pingan could accept his mortal body so calmly, Jiang Wen felt relieved for a while, and at the same time he felt even more pity in his heart.

At this time, Taoist He said: "Actually, you don't have to reveal his true identity. A poor Taoist will keep his mouth shut."

"No need to hide it." Zhao Pingan interrupted: "Whatever it is is what it is."

He then said to Jiang Wen and Jiang Shuyue: "Grandpa, mother, I don't want to hide that I am a mortal."

"Okay, we won't hide it." Jiang Shuyue agreed heartily.

He Taoist couldn't help but admire and said: "Young master Zhao, you are not only precociously intelligent, but also have an extraordinary mind. Even if you are mortal, you will definitely be extraordinary in the future."

"Master's blessings." Zhao Ping'an cupped his hands and said calmly.

After confirming the announcement of the measurement results, the door opened. Jiang Wen and He Daoren walked out first. Jiang Shuyue took Zhao Ping'an's little hand and walked out.

The uncles and aunts standing at the front immediately came forward to greet them, with smiles and expectations on their faces, ready to ask questions.

However, the next moment they saw Jiang Wen and Jiang Shuyue's expressions were solemn, and even Jiang Shuyue's eyes were red with signs of crying, they couldn't help but feel a thump in their hearts, and swallowed back the words that came to their lips.

The rest of the Jiang family pushed forward to hear the results.

However, people with sharp eyes also noticed that something was wrong.

"Master He, please announce it if you can." Jiang Wen said to Master He.

Facing the dark crowd in the court, He Daoren said: "Zhao Ping'an has ordinary bones and a mortal body."

ah! ! ! ! ! !

Everyone was shocked and in disbelief, thinking they had heard wrongly.

Even those who had noticed something was wrong were shocked, because they thought that Zhao Ping'an's root bone was middle-to-upper grade no matter how bad it was, but it didn't reach the top-grade root bone that everyone expected, or even the legendary combat body.

"Master He, did you measure it wrong? How could the young cousin be a mortal body?" Chen Donglai asked angrily in the crowd.

As Chen Donglai raised his doubts, others immediately spoke out: "Yes, did you measure it wrong?"

"The young cousin is very smart. He became an alchemist, a talisman master, and a weapon refiner before he was two years old. If he is a mortal body, then who is not a mortal body?"

"What master of measuring root bones? He is obviously a big liar!"

...

Master He had to raise his voice and said: "I guarantee with my many years of reputation that I did not measure Zhao Ping'an's root bone wrong."

Unfortunately, the crowd in front of him was still surging and scolding.

"Quiet!" Jiang Wen shouted in a deep voice.

The noise finally stopped quickly, and then it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Jiang Wen said nothing, and waved his hand forward with a tired look: "Let's all go."

The crowd realized that Zhao Ping'an, who was highly expected, was really a mortal body, an ordinary person, not a reincarnation of a saint, and even not as good as many people.

They were all disappointed.

The news that Zhao Ping'an was a mortal body spread throughout the city at an astonishing speed that day. Everyone thought they had heard rumors, and after repeated inquiries, it turned out that he was really a mortal body.

For a time, the whole city was in an uproar, with all kinds of conspiracy theories.

Some said that Zhao Ping'an's previous image as a child prodigy was forged by the Jiang family, and Zhao Ping'an could not make pills, draw talismans, or refine weapons at all.

Some said that in order to keep a low profile and not let Zhao Ping'an stand out from the crowd, the Jiang family deliberately released the false news that Zhao Ping'an was a mortal body, but in fact he might be the legendary top combat body.

Some even said that the Jiang family cooperated with the gambling house to release the false news that Zhao Ping'an was a mortal body, eat up all the bets, and the Jiang family and the gambling house split the money 50-50.

In addition to various conspiracy theories, Zhao Ping'an has become a big joke in the streets of Baidi City, and people talk about it before and after meals.

The news that Zhao Ping'an is a mortal body spread to the Zhennan Marquis Mansion. When the old lady of Zhennan Marquis learned about it, she couldn't help laughing.

In the past two or three years, every time she heard how extraordinary Zhao Ping'an was, although she didn't believe it at all, she couldn't help feeling some pressure in her heart.

She didn't want to hear people criticize her for being blind behind her back.

After laughing for a long time, the old lady of Zhennan Marquis finally stopped and ordered the maid beside her: "Go and call Ying Peng."

The maid replied yes and immediately went to invite Zhao Yingpeng.

After an incense stick, Zhao Yingpeng arrived: "Mother, what do you want me to do?"

"Nothing." The old lady of Zhennan Marquis said while sipping the fragrant tea, pretending to be calm, "Just now I heard that the bastard born by Jiang Shuyue, the lowly one, measured his bones."

Zhao Yingpeng's expression moved slightly when he heard this, and he remembered that Zhao Ping'an was already three years old.

However, he did not immediately ask about Zhao Ping'an's physique, which was not good anyway.

The old lady of Zhennan Marquis waited for a long time, but Zhao Yingpeng still did not ask, so she could not help but said: "The physique is ordinary, and it is a mortal body."

"Mortal body?" Zhao Yingpeng asked in disbelief.

After all, it is his offspring, how can it be a waste?

The old lady of Zhennan Marquis sat up straight and snorted coldly: "It is a mortal body! At the beginning, I kindly let that lowly person abort the fetus, and she resented me for being cruel. What's going on now? It has become a big joke in the whole city!"

Zhao Yingpeng showed a bit of anger on his face, not against the old lady of Zhennan Marquis, but because he hated Jiang Shuyue and Zhao Ping'an for embarrassing him in the whole Baidi City.

If Zhao Ping'an was in front of him, he would just slap him to death, so as not to continue to embarrass him!

The next day, Qiushui happily walked to Su Yingluo, who was sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed chanting sutras, and reported with a bow: "Miss, I have sent people to arrest Taoist He for interrogation. That evil creature is undoubtedly a mortal."

Su Yingluo only slightly raised her eyes to Qiushui, then lowered her eyebrows and eyes, without interrupting her silent chanting of Buddhist scriptures. Her beautiful and holy face looked neither happy nor sad, indifferent and non-contentious.

Qiushui said again: "Although that evil creature is a mortal, he is still a little smart. Should we send someone to save him after a while to avoid future troubles?"

"Amitabha," Su Yingluo stopped chanting and said with compassion, "My Buddha is merciful, and God has the virtue of loving life. Let him fend for himself."

"Yes, sir." Qiushui bowed and accepted the order, and then couldn't help sighing, "Miss, you have a kind heart. If that evil creature knew, he would be grateful."
