Chapter 31: Transformation of the Mortal

The biggest difference between the world and the underworld is vitality. Although the underworld transplanted a lot of plants and introduced many birds and beasts, it still couldn't change the fact that the underworld was the afterlife. What fills the underworld is a thick dead air from beginning to end.

The City God's Mansion and the City God's Temple enshrined in the world are one, and most of the immortals have the ability to expand the space, and those who are good at this can open up hundreds of acres of houses in a three-inch statue.

The city gods of Chang'an know how to enjoy very well, and most of the people in Biyou Palace know how to enjoy. Probably because of the difference in comprehension of the truth, the doors of the Jade Void Palace are diametrically opposed, looking tattered and tattered, looking like a poor ghost.

Declined the breakfast prepared by Chenghuang and found a place where no one noticed. Across a few streets, on a street corner, there was a very small stall where a lady was selling noodles with a girl of four or five years old.

It seems that they should live nearby, and the diners are very familiar with this girl, and they will always touch the little girl's head when giving money.

When the little girl saw me, she said happily, "Uncle, have you had breakfast? Would you like to eat a bowl of noodles? The noodles cooked by my mother are delicious!"

I laughed and said, "Okay, what's your name?"

The little girl said, "My name is Rongrong, uncle, what's your name?"

Without waiting for me to answer, Rong Rong's mother pulled her back and said with a smile: "Rong Rong, this child is always unruly, don't blame the son!"

I smiled and said, "It's okay, I like this kid a lot, I bother my sister-in-law to cook a bowl of noodles for me, and I haven't eaten breakfast yet." ”

Rongrong's mother should go down and go to cook noodles again, leaving Rongrong to make fun here.

I was about to tease the girl again, but was interrupted by a man's voice.

"Little sister, my sister also wants a bowl of noodles, go and help my sister tell your mother, okay?"

Xiao Rongrong looked over, a little trance-like, and asked in a daze: "Sister, are you a fairy?

Daji covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister is not, Rongrong is a fairy!

"Okay!" Rong Rong ran over very obediently and told her mother that a fairy sister wanted a bowl of noodles.

I asked Daji, "Why are you here?"

Daji glanced at me and said angrily: "The king is embarrassed to ask me, obviously the king didn't even leave a word, so he ran around for several months." If it weren't for the document that the judge of Chang'an gave to the prefecture yesterday saying that you were in Chang'an, I wouldn't know where to find you. ”

I said embarrassedly: "I was in too much of a hurry to leave, I forgot to tell you, how is the underworld?"

Daji said: "Fusu has completed his sentence, I told Yuding Zhenren what you meant before, now Huaicheng has been handed over to Fusu to be in charge, Yu Ji and I have moved to Yanjun Village, and now we are doing paperwork in Yanjun Palace, Xiang Yu was handed over to hell, and Liu Bang went over to mock him if he was fine." Ying Zheng took over the task of rectifying the armament, and took the civil and military classes to train the soldiers day and night, Han Xin was also arrested by him, and the second Yan Jun complained about him for a long time. ”

Daji didn't know that the underworld was preparing to use troops against the Xiongnu underworld, so it was difficult to understand the enthusiasm of Yingzheng and a group of people. When Qin Shi Huang was alive, he was actually only doing two things, one was to destroy the internal enemy, and the other was to continue to expand externally. The military merit system of Great Qin was destined to have a Qin dynasty full of desire for expansion. Destroying one's own enemies and carving up the enemy's land is the eternal and immortal pursuit of the Qin people.

There is no internal strife in the prefecture, and there is only one thing left for Yingzheng, which is external expansion. Su Qin and the Zhuzi Alliance went to the West for exchanges, not necessarily without the intention of playing the front station, and the political tacit understanding between Su Qin and Zhang Yi is rare in ancient and modern times. There will be a long time to go to the country of Huangquan, and Emperor Gou Chen is still busy in the heavenly realm and can't eat, so it should be a very good thing for Yingzheng and his gang to strike at the Xiongnu Prefecture first.

Rong Rong brought two bowls of noodles, sat next to him, supported his cheeks with both hands, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, is Sister Fairy your wife?"

I joked, "I want to have a fairy-like wife, too! ”

Daji glanced at me, smiled and said to Rong Rong: "My sister really wants to marry my uncle, but my uncle doesn't want to marry my sister!"

Rong Rong stood up with a resentful face, pointed at me and asked, "Why doesn't my uncle marry my sister, my sister is so good!"

I was embarrassed to bury myself in the bowl and eat noodles, where did this kid see that Daji was good?

Daji hugged Rong Rong in her arms and said with a smile: "Little sister, don't worry, my uncle will marry my sister in two years!

Rong Rong nodded obediently and ran to the ground to play again.

I stretched out my hand to Rong Rong and tapped twice, and Daji asked, "What is your lord doing here?"

I smiled and said, "Leave a mark for the future matchmaker, so that you don't find it when you get married!"

Daji blushed and said angrily: "Don't mess around, don't talk nonsense, get down to business!"

I said: "I see that this child named Rong Rong has some immortal fate, leave a mark, if there is no one to cross her to cultivate in the future, I may be able to accept her to get started." ”

Daji wondered, "Why don't you accept her as a disciple now?"

I explained to her, "She is too young now, she still has a mother alive, she hasn't experienced the ups and downs of the world, and it's not yet time. And I don't want to bring a disciple with me now, whether she is related to me or not is something to be left to the future. ”

Daji asked again, "The king hasn't said why he came to the world. ”

"I have encountered some problems in my practice, and I need to come to the world for enlightenment. Do you want to come with me?"

Daji smiled: "Naturally, we want to be together, the self-proclaimed god is over, I haven't come to the world again!"

I smiled wryly and shook my head, hoping she wouldn't think about the Boyi exam again.

Xianyang City is the old capital of the Qin State, which was once set on fire by Xiang Yu, and now several years have passed, and you can still see the scene of the original fire. Most of the people who still live here are the old Qin people, and they are reluctant to give up the former Great Qin Imperial Capital, and they can't forget the glory brought by the first emperor through the ages.

There are no ruins on the ruins of Xianyang Palace, and when Liu Bang was in Chang'an, he took all the materials that could be used to build Chang'an. The city wall of Chang'an exists as a continuation of the Xianyang Palace, and the most noble seal of the emperor of the Han Dynasty is still the heirloom jade seal carved by the Qin Emperor with He's bi.

I walked through the ruins with Daji, trying to find something that had not changed in all these long years.

Daji looked at the ruins of Xianyang Palace quite sadly, and said: "In this world, the change of dynasties is always the people themselves. ”

I comforted her and said, "There will be no eternal dynasty in the world, this is a certainty, and mortals have a life of seeking happiness in suffering, which is not a kind of happiness." ”

Daji grabbed my hand and said, "Your Majesty, I want to go back to Jizhou City to have a look, can you take me there?"

I laughed, "You can." ”

Jizhou City is not easy to find, 800 years is enough to bury many city walls and houses, and it is enough to change the direction of mountains and rivers in the world.

Fortunately, there are now many Chenghuang lands in the world, most of which have experienced the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and they have asked more than a dozen before they found the location of Jizhou City.

It's no longer a city, not even a village, only a few families live. It depends on the situation, it is here.

Daji seemed very disappointed, when she was in the world, she was born in Jizhou City, grew up in Jizhou City, and was taken away by the nine-tailed fox soon after leaving Jizhou City. Her memories in the world are all pinned on Jizhou City.

I could feel that she was holding my hand and clenching it slowly, which was an expression of helplessness. There are many things that the immortals in this world can do, and there are many things that the gods can't do, but there is only time to really keep the immortals out.

No amount of time can interfere with what happened at that time. At best, just a spectator. From the distant ancient gods to the immortals of today, there is no life that can reverse the time of this world.

I also squeezed her hand and performed the method passed on to me by Lu Zhuan Daojun. The scene around them began to recede, and the more and more they receded, faster and faster. Daji was surprised to see Jizhou City, to see pedestrians coming and going, and to see his home in the world.

She pulled me up and said, "Come, your lord, I'll show you where I live!"

I smiled and ran with her, but I didn't tell her that more than 800 years ago, I had come to Jizhou City and seen her and her father.

Daji left Jizhou City with a smile, and when she left, she still held my hand tightly, she had been pulling for a long time, but she didn't mean to let go at all. Although I know that there is a difference between men and women, I can't go against her will.

We returned to Chang'an, stopping at the banks of the Weishui River, not far from Chang'an, and listening to the rushing water.

I said to Daji: "Weishui is really a magical place, Wuhuai can see the immortal master here, and Ji Chang meets Jiang Shang here. Yingji buried Bai Qi here, and Lu Pheasant buried Han Xin here. ”

Daji smiled: "No wonder Bai Qi and Han Xin got acquainted so quickly, they were both buried here, and they were both killed by the king." ”

I said, "The prince and the general are most afraid that the king will be incompatible. Do you know why the war of the Seven Kingdoms finally won the world?"

Daji said: "I don't know, when I looked at Yingzheng, there was nothing special. ”

I explained: "Yingzheng is very good at employing people, and he is a little different from Liu Bang, Liu Bang knows people well, but he always has doubts. When Ying Zheng used the wrong people, he always used people without suspicion, and Wang Jian and Li Xin are good examples. ”

Daji smiled and said, "So even Xiang Yu and Han Xin, the two opponents, have also obeyed Qin Shi Huangdi!"

I also smiled and said, "Yes, Lao Ying is actually very suitable for being Yan Jun, more suitable than all Yan Jun from ancient times to the present." ”

Daji teased: "Yingzheng goes to be Yan Jun, will the king be lazy!"

Me: "......"

Daji finally let go of my hand, grilled fish on the banks of the Weishui River to eat, it is always very tempting! What Jiang Shang had never done back then, was done by me and Daji.

I found a few dying fish, opened the ghost door and sent the soul into the underworld, then lit a fire, made a fork, and grilled the fish to eat. Few immortals have done this now, and immortals have paid more and more attention to their appearance in the past few thousand years, and they have to maintain a fairy-like appearance at all times. In fact, the group of immortals all know that the Taoist who looks at the fairy wind bones is more likely to be a lewd little old man. It's like too white!

Taibai has caused a trend in the heavenly realm, and more and more immortals have made themselves white-haired and white-bearded, dressed in white. Yue Lao protested against this, this costume has always been his exclusive property, and it was just a copycat by Taibai. It's really indecent to make it all over the heavens now.

But no one paid attention to Yue Lao's protests, after all, most of the immortals had nothing to do with Yue Lao. The old man's job also has little contact with other departments.

The Heavenly Emperor was very happy to see a group of old immortals with immortal wind bones, even if the combined age of these old immortals was less than a fraction of the age of the Heavenly Emperor. The Heavenly Emperor may have thought that this would help improve the quality of the Heavenly Realm, but in fact, the nature of obscenity has not been changed in the slightest.

Taibai and Yang Jian haven't come back yet, looking at the itinerary they made at the beginning, they have probably arrived at the main god surnamed Zhou, and they will be able to return in a few years.

When Fan Li was fine, he was still talking about what kind of specialties the princes would bring back to him in the Yan Jun Palace, and he had provided strong support to the princes at the beginning. Although the business is now given to Xi Shi, it does not hinder his expectation of the harvest of the sons.

The fish in Weishui tasted good, although I didn't recognize what kind of fish I was eating in my mouth.

Daji didn't recognize it, but she obviously didn't think about it, just eat it deliciously!

The night of the world seems to have something that the underworld does not have, that is, the tranquility of life. Crickets chirp, cicadas chirp, frogs jump, nightingales sing. It obviously shattered the silence of the night, but it made people feel extremely peaceful.

The tranquility of man, the tranquility of immortals, and the tranquility of life.

I didn't use any spells, but I still felt like I could hear voices from thousands of miles away, and I could feel the rhythm from far away. It is the sea, the mountains and rivers, the rhythm of all visible and invisible. This kind of rhythm communicates all the existence and non-existence between heaven and earth, and this rhythm is the Tao and reason between heaven and earth.

I try to touch, to feel, to let my mind fly, and let it follow the rhythm. The difference between immortals and humans is probably the feeling of heaven and earth. The similarity between immortals and humans may also be on this.

I may need more insight, more contact with this human being. I should probably try to blend in with the life of a mortal and experience what it's like to be a mortal. Immortals are too far away from mortals, and even if they can hear prayers, they may not be willing to be distracted.

Maybe the second child is right, we are really too far away from the world, so that we ignore the root of the mortal world because of the mysteries of the immortal path.

Daji sat next to me at some point, tilting her head and leaning on my shoulder.

"What are you thinking?"

I smiled and said, "I want to experience the life of a mortal, do you want to come?"

Daji smiled and said, "The Ten Yan Monarchs are still thinking about the Emperor going back to work! ”

I said, "It's okay, Yuding is in my class, I'll write a letter to them later." ”

Daji asked me, "How do you plan to experience the life of a mortal?"

I smiled and said, "Naturally, I am looking for a village, buying a house and land, and cultivating wasteland!"

Daji smiled and asked, "Then does the gentleman still want to marry a daughter-in-law?"

I pointed at her and said, "Isn't this my daughter-in-law!"

Daji's face turned red and he said angrily: "Who is your daughter-in-law!"

Daji didn't refuse me in the end, and she never seemed to refuse any of my requests. I made her a little uglier, and a face that was too beautiful would only be a curse in the mortal world. Daji accepted this fact in her resistance, and only hoped that this period would end soon, so that she could change back soon.

I took Daji to find a village around Ducheng in the southwest of Chang'an, where I could see the Honggu Plain, where many fields could be cultivated.

This place is called Guojia Village, and people surnamed Guo occupy the majority. The villagers were very simple and accepting of me and Daji and helped us build our house.

A small thatched house, a kitchen, a bedroom, a yard that is not too big or small, and an old ox that he bought is tethered.

The people in the village were very envious of me and Daji, a yellow ox was worth a few strong laborers, and within a few years of the end of the war, the price of a ploughing ox was no cheaper than a horse.

I took the time to write to the boss and they didn't agree on my decision.

Boss: "Cherish the opportunity, open up the realm, the underworld is waiting for you to come back!"

The second: "Remember to tell me what you think, if it is feasible, I will try it too!"

Lao Wu: "I have already proposed that Yan Jun take a turn to take a break, and the application has been sent to the Emperor of Heaven!

Lao Liu: "Don't stay in the world for too long, Yingzheng and they are training cavalry, and when the time comes, you have to come back to watch the play!

Lao Qi: "Relax in the world!"

Yi Zhi: "Come back early, be lazy in moderation!"

Fan Li: "Don't listen to Yi Zhi, don't forget to come back!"

Yuding: "Don't worry, I have experience and will handle these things on your behalf!"

Finally, there was a rather resentful letter, which was sent by Lao Ba from the heavenly realm, and the handwriting was sloppy, and even the bamboo slips were about to be carved through.

"Why is it Yuding!! shouldn't it be me, the former Eight Yan Jun, who is more experienced!!

I didn't reply to the eighth child, he just complained, and the heavenly realm couldn't do without this Eastern Pole Qinghua Emperor. The Emperor's seat is always one of the busiest places, whether it is the underworld or the heavenly realm, it is the same.

The brush invented by Meng Tian in the world should probably also be popularized in the underworld, and it is too inconvenient to always carve it with a knife. Thinking of this, I wrote another letter to Fan Li.

Fan Li is the best at discovering business opportunities among Yan Jun, and may be able to bring more possibilities to the finances of the prefecture.
