A Young Acolyte refers to a minor, and in Martial Arts and Chivalry novels, it denotes a man completely inexperienced in sexual matters. Historically, it also referred to one of the subjects in the Imperial examination system.
Additionally, the term Young Acolyte is also known as a Heavenly Child, originally referring to Immortals in the heavens or children who serve the Immortals, who descend to the mortal world for various reasons to be reincarnated. The destiny of a Young Acolyte is a concept that truly exists, with records of celestial beings reincarnating found in Buddhist scriptures. Before each Heavenly Child understands their true origin, they experience various misfortunes, with their stories often bringing sadness and tears to those who hear or see them.
Young Acolytes are generally categorized into four types based on their origins:
1. From the Heavens: This generally refers to those whose previous incarnations were as heavenly acolytes, or who are reincarnations or split spirits of such acolytes. Many are heavenly acolytes who reincarnate due to past mistakes or specific missions. These acolytes possess higher energies, but they also endure more hardships in life and give more of themselves compared to ordinary people. Hence, it is best for them to follow the path of Conversion to Daoism or Buddhism and begin anew in Cultivation. Many with great accomplishments are reincarnations of such acolytes.
2. From the Temples: This generally refers to those who practiced in temples in their past lives, either as reincarnations or split spirits of these acolytes. Temple acolytes are commonly seen in both Buddhism and Daoism. Many temple acolytes, due to inadequate cultivation in past lives and various other reasons, fall into Samsara. In this life, they suffer greatly and are prone to possession, hence the need to find a wise master to guide them in early Cultivation to return to their original state. Many who choose Going into Solitude and cultivators are of this type.
3. Due to Past Connections: Typically, these are acolytes who owe debts of gratitude or money from past lives and are born in this life to either collect or repay these debts. Such acolytes generally have short lifespans, find it difficult to reach adulthood, or suffer from numerous hardships and illnesses.
4. Eight Characters Acolytes: Generally refers to individuals whose birth charts contain the Young Acolyte star. This type is common. Many people’s astrological charts feature the Young Acolyte star, which is a natural affliction that is best resolved.
