The life of a mortal is always plain and simple, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. I only ask about spring, summer, autumn and winter, and I don't hear about the changes in the political situation.

In the second year of Liu Ying's ascension to the throne, Xiao He's soul returned to the underworld. Guan Longxiao took hundreds of ghost guards to Xiao He's house, and the city god of Chang'an squatted at the head of Xiao He's hospital bed. Xiao He was sent to the Six Yan Monarchs by the City God Judge of Chang'an as quickly as possible.

Lao Liu was very satisfied, and specially issued an official document to praise him, and advocated that all the city god judges in the world should take this as an example, study deeply, and improve their work efficiency. As a result, the city gods and judges of Chang'an were famous, and their colleagues in the Manchu world were secretly scolding them for increasing the burden on everyone.

Guan Longxiao didn't care, the city god of Chang'an came to me to complain a few times, wiped his eyes for a long time, but he didn't see tears falling.

Daji is more adapted to human life than me, and although she is not much stronger, she is always stronger than me. I didn't stay in the world for long before I became an immortal, and at the age of twelve, I followed the teacher, and I became a born person, so I didn't know what human relations were.

Daji is different, the daughter of Jizhou Hou Suhu was very famous in the original Jizhou City. A woman, beautiful, smart and knowledgeable, as long as she is not too bad in her heart, will definitely attract many people. Daji was such a woman in the first place, of course, she is now the same as she is, but the farmers don't care about this, they only care about whether you are gregarious and easy to get along with.

Daji is more skilled than me, and what I am mainly doing is to take the old cattle to reclaim the wasteland.

Reclamation is not prohibited on the Honggu Plain, and there is still a large amount of wasteland. Not long after the war ended, the souls of the underworld had just begun to reincarnate on a large scale.

People in troubled times are not as good as peace dogs, although it doesn't sound pleasant, but it is a big truth since the beginning of the year. If the Taiping Shidao wants to restore the population, it will also need to wait for decades.

There are not many people who reclaim the land in Honggu Plain, and Guojia Village is the closest village to here, but it still has to go for a long time. The villagers' families also have limited labor and cannot take care of large fields, and a few acres of land near the village are enough to feed a family.

Liu Ying was a cowardly but benevolent emperor, and Lu Pheasant was a wise and ruthless empress. It's hard to find common ground in the mother and son, but the two are now doing the same thing.

Lightly pay for the meager endowment, and rest with the people. The emperors of the past dynasties seem to have done this, Xia Qi, Shang Tang, King Wu of Zhou, Liu Bang, it seems that only Ying Zheng did not do this, Ying Zheng is still full of fighting spirit after sweeping Liuhe and Yi Kuang world, he seems to be never tired, and he is always full of desire for land.

Yan Jun has always hoped to change Yingzheng and make him more indifferent. With less ambition, he is a good candidate for Yan Jun, and we are very much looking forward to him being able to cultivate into a heavenly immortal. There are still four missing Yan Jun in the underworld, and it is not a good thing for the stability of the underworld to continue to be absent like this.

It is very difficult to see qi practitioners in the world, and the practice of immortal dao is also very different from that of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The cultivators opened the door to enter the world, and repeatedly polished their Dao hearts in the red dust.

People who are isolated from the world are becoming more and more rare, and many things that used to be in the past are no longer seen in the world today. Ancient books have been lost to the world, and the history passed down by word of mouth has left only fragments of history that have been regarded as myths for a long time. The distance between the immortals and the mortal world seems to be really a little far, maybe you can suggest to the Emperor of Heaven to regularly arrange a group of immortals to come to the mortal world to experience life.

Daji's call woke me up from the back of the scalper. It's really hard to express the taste of being called a husband, like an extra bond, and like an extra ray of sunshine.

I can't tell if I like it, I hate it, or both.

He took the water and food that Daji handed him, sat down on the head of the field, and began to chew the bread in his hand. The people of Guanzhong have an obsession with pasta, and flatbread is a favorite food of all farmers, easy to carry and filling.

The craft of Daji's pancakes was learned from Aunt Wang at the head of the village, obviously she didn't learn the essence, the cake was hard and a little chewy, she turned her head and looked at Daji's eyes, let's eat it.

Daji was very happy to look at the wasteland I reclaimed today, less than half an acre of land in the eyes of any farmer, I am afraid that I will despise it very much. Daji doesn't care, more or less doesn't matter to her, what matters is the feeling of being alive.

Although she has been dead for many years, the so-called life is not only exclusive to the living, the world after death also has the meaning of life, but most of the ghosts are obsessed, either reluctant to have seven feelings, or unable to break the six desires, most of the time will not live as well as in the world.

There are such ghosts all around, so naturally there won't be much feeling of being alive, but it's different in the world, surrounded by friends and neighbors full of hope and vitality, and the feeling of being alive is extraordinarily strong.

"Husband, shall we grow wheat in these fields? In the future, we can grind the noodles ourselves at home and eat them!"

I smiled and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to you making me something delicious!"

Daji blushed and ran away.

I looked at her back and seemed to feel the lightness and joy in her heart. It was a strange feeling, and it was the first time I had felt the heart of a person, or a ghost, or a god without using a spell.

My purity did not last long, and before I had finished eating a piece of bread, four old men came to the land.

The white clouds in the sky fluttered, and the breeze was blowing. An old cow swayed along with a simple wooden cart, and the cow was probably not young.

The old man who drove the cart was older than the oxen pulling the cart, and some of the old ones couldn't pull the reins. There were also three older ones sitting in the car, with white hair and white beards, and their faces full of ravines.

There is only one place where these four old men appear that they are not very old, and that is their eyes, which are still bright and innocent. These are the eyes of a child, it can be seen that these four people are not so ordinary as they seem, and few people in the world can make their hearts like children.

The old man who was driving the car was the first to jump down, and I really couldn't imagine that an old man of this age could still make a jumping movement.

The four old men jumped out of the car in turn, bowed to me, and said in turn: "Dongyuan Gong Tang Bing, Qili Ji Wu Shi, Mr. Luli Zhou Shu, Xia Huang Gong Cui Guang have seen Mr. ”

I shook my head and said, "The four of you are all over three hundred years old, how can I be your husband, I'm afraid you've found the wrong person." ”

Tang Bing said with a smile: "Where the gentleman is, the purple qi can't be coiled. We don't recognize the wrong person. ”

Zhou Shu also said: "In the past, Yin Xi saw the purple qi coming from the east, and knew that the saint was coming, although we were not as good as Yin Xi, but we also had some ability to hope for qi." ”

Cui Guang said: "Don't shirk, sir, I'll come sincerely." ”

Wu Shibai said: "Mr. Wang, I am grateful for showing the way for the four of us." ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "You really found the wrong person, instead of looking for me, you should go to worship the City God Temple." I am not a guest from the heavenly realm, so I am not suitable to teach you the truth of becoming immortals. ”

Tang Bing and the four of them knelt down tremblingly, bowed down again, and said: "No matter where Mr. comes from, he is always ahead of us, the four of us have been practicing penance in Shangshan for decades and cannot fly immortals, so they entered the world at the invitation of Zhang Liang, and they want to seek immortal Taoism, and now there are several years, but there is still no progress, I hope Mr. will pity me." ”

I ate the last piece of bread into my stomach before I said: "In the past, Daozu met Yin Xi when he passed through Hangu Pass, so he left 3,000 words of the Tao Te Ching. Since you have been found by the four of you today, it can be regarded as your fate, and I will answer one question for each of you, whether you can become enlightened depends on yourself. ”

The four of them thanked each other, and Tang Bing was the first to ask, "Dare to ask Mr., what is the method of achieving the immortal path now?"

"The truth is endless, and the way to become an immortal is endless. In the world, there is no noble, only suitable. When the Taoist ancestor sent a letter to Guguan, he left two paths in the world, ascended to the immortal day by day, guarded the heavenly realm with the body of the earth immortal, and sealed the land of the city god, and resided in the world. The second is to dissect the corpse and become enlightened, cut off all kinds of things in the world, bear the cause and effect to be empty, and become the position of the earth immortal when the soul enters the underworld. ”

Wu Shi asked again and said, "Dare to ask Mr., what is the difference between the underworld and the human world and the heavenly realm?"

I smiled and said, "The truth of the world has been easier several times, the breath is mixed, and all kinds of cause and effect are entangled, and it is difficult to get out." The underworld is the destination after death, the cause and effect are easy to disappear, the breath is pure, the cultivation is twice the result with half the effort, and it is easy to become enlightened. The heavenly realm is the place where the essence of this world gathers, transcendental, and it is a thousand miles in a day, but if you are not a heavenly immortal, you can't stay in the heavenly realm for a long time, and if you can't reach the realm, you can't ask for it. ”

Zhou Shu asked again, "Dare to ask Mr., may point me to the opportunity for the four of them to become enlightened?"

I nodded and said, "The four of you were born and entered the world, and the worldly fetters are difficult to get rid of, all because you have practiced in the world, and you have not returned to the world, and there is no clear cause and effect with the world, and you return to the world, which is the opportunity for you to become enlightened." ”

Cui Guang finally asked, "Sir, who in the world can ascend to the immortal in the daytime?"

I said: "Those who have attained the Tao in the world, Huaiyang is an old man." ”

After that, he got up and grabbed the ox and continued to reclaim the land.

Tang Bing shouted behind me again, "Haven't asked Mr. for his name and surname?"

I took care of the cultivated land and said, "There is no need to ask, there is a time to say goodbye." ”

The four old men sat in the field for a long time before they got on the ox cart in turn, drove the old oxen pulling the cart, and slowly returned to Chang'an.

From a distance, there is some hermit atmosphere.

Daji ran over after the four old men had left, and helped me with the plow.

He asked, "Husband, what are those four old men looking for you?"

I smiled and said: "There is no one here, there is no need to pretend, those four old men are Shangshan Sihao, who has some reputation in the world, and can be regarded as half a qi practitioner." Come and ask me about my practice. ”

Daji wondered, "How did they find out that the king is here?"

I explained, "There is a method of looking at qi in this world, which can observe the changes of qi luck and the vision of immortals. They saw that the purple qi was coiling here, and naturally knew that there were immortals here. ”

Daji smiled, "Then don't they always find immortals?"

I shook my head and smiled, "How can mortals have such a ability, they can see me, it's not that I want them to come to see me." There are not many cultivators in the world, so you might as well give some opportunities. ”

Daji seems to understand but does not understand.

I said, "Hold the plow well, Long is going to be crooked!"

Daji hurriedly straightened the plow!

He also said: "Your Majesty, today the governor has posted a notice, the imperial court is going to recruit officials, and all places must be virtuous, do you want to be an official?"

I smiled and said, "Just let it be, besides, we just moved here, and I don't think we will be recommended by the villagers." ”

Daji laughed and said, "I've really thought about the addiction of the official's wife! I haven't been an official's wife yet!"

I smiled and shook my head.

Daji is getting more and more lively, and it is very different from when she was in the underworld. Maybe it was because I was always busy with the case at that time, and I didn't have much time to relax. After arriving in the world, she had time to relax, so she found a trace of her youthful past.

Daji was very young when she died, it was in her youth, and her sensibility made Yan Jun ignore that she was just a young ghost at that time. Later, when everyone noticed this problem, Daji had become an older ghost, mature and calm, and could not be seen at all.

I still like the way Daji is now, not so lifeless, like a woman in the world, simple, plain and not delicate.

A few geese flew in the sky of Hongguyuan, or they came from far away. How could Daji and I not be visitors from afar in the world at this time?

It's just that the wild goose comes from another country, and we come from a long time.
