The rain had been falling for a long time, and it had no intention of stopping until the next morning.

Yan Ziyun left the inn in this rain, glanced in the direction of Wu Wanggong, and then turned around and left without looking back, disappearing into the rain. It's been twenty years, and when he comes out of the mountain again, it's another story.

Daji loved the rain so much that she spent most of her time listening to it in front of the window, and I sat there with her and followed her.

There lived another man next door, a woman, a woman named Xu Cheng.

She didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave from Wu Kingdom, Liu Bi braved the rain and came to see her with a lot of people and a lot of gifts.

Liu Bi is a middle-aged man who looks very energetic, full of energy, and his demeanor is full of the bearing of the royal family in the world, even if he is not a bloodline of Liu Bang.

This is a proud and proud man, and there is a sense of contempt in his steps.

Xu Cheng met him and his entourage in the room, and Daji and I could hear their conversation next door.

Liu Bi: "The king has worked tirelessly to come here, and this king is very grateful. ”

Xu Cheng said: "The king doesn't need to be like this, I have traveled all over the place, and coming to Wu is just one stop in the journey." ”

Liu Bi smiled and said, "Have you seen Xian'er?"

Xu Yingying said: "Well, I have already seen the son, and the attendant who wants to come to the son has already informed the prince." ”

Liu Bi said: "They did truthfully report to the king, but Jun Hou said that the child had the appearance of death, although the king did not agree, but he also had to meet Jun Hou and ask Jun Hou if there was a way to resolve it." ”

Xu Cheng said: "I have already told the entourage of the prince that the fate is determined by heaven, not manpower. If the king doesn't agree, why bother asking?"

Liu Bi said arrogantly: "This king has pacified the Yingbu Rebellion from Gaozu, and has been in Wu for more than ten years. ”

Xu Cheng didn't answer, Liu Bi continued: "Thank you for your hard work, a few gifts, not a tribute, and please accept it with a smile." ”

Xu Cheng said: "Then thank you to the king." ”

Liu Bi is gone, still very arrogant.

Daji looked at his back and said, "I don't like him, he's too proud." ”

I nodded and said, "Mortals will always have some incomprehensible pride, Liu Bang started from a commoner and ascended to the throne, the Liu royal family is even more proud than the Ying family." But they never knew that they were lucky enough to become royalty, and it was just luck in the world. In this life, he became the prince of the clan, but he may not have such good luck in the next life. ”

Daji suddenly turned her head to look at me, her eyes were a little deep, and she said, "I also became the daughter of Jizhou Hou because of luck, right?"

I shook my head and said, "That's not your luck, it's not your luck as Daji. ”

Daji smiled, smiled beautifully, and said, "It seems that I am similar to Fusu, both of whom are unfortunate people. ”

I haven't seen Fusu for a long time, and I don't know how he gets along with Liu Ying.

Taking Daji's hand and looking her in the eye, I said, "You may not be lucky souls, but you are lucky souls. ”

Daji asked, "Where does the king think we are lucky?"

I said, "Isn't it a lucky thing that you have turned into souls from heaven and earth, walked through the world, and re-examined your life in the underworld, knowing your regrets and knowing your hopes!"

Daji said softly, "It's a lucky thing, but I don't think it's the luckiest thing. ”

I asked, "What do you think of it?"

Daji suddenly hugged me and whispered in my ear, "The luckiest thing for me is to meet you!"

I let her hold her, she has not been in a good mood in recent days, perhaps because she has seen too many joys and sorrows in the world these days, and she can't help but think of her past.

I don't know how to comfort a person, comfort a ghost, comfort a ghost. I will, just quietly accompany her and let her vent.

She didn't vent anything, just hugged me quietly, for a long, long time.

Towards the end of the evening, she looked much better.

He smiled and said to me, "Your Majesty, I want to eat osmanthus cake, can you buy it for me?"

I smiled and agreed, "Do you want to come with me?"

Daji looked out the window, and the rain was still falling, very soft, like a lover's hand.

She smiled and said, "Naturally, we want to be together! Let's go for a walk in the rain!"

I took her hand and walked out of the inn. Xu Yingzheng stood in front of the door and looked at the rain, frowning slightly, the rain blocked her original itinerary and had to continue to stay here.

Daji whispered to her, "Please let me go!"

Xu Cheng leaned sideways to make a way, and Daji and I walked past her. When she saw us, she looked unusually shocked. I pressed twice in mid-air with one hand, and she was a smart woman who knew what I meant, and just watched us leave.

Walking into the rain, the drizzle gently laps on the body. It's a wonderful feeling, and the rain of the underworld never brings such a feeling.

Daji took me by the hand and half leaned on me, and found a dim sum shop three blocks away in the rain.

The owner of the dim sum shop is an elderly couple, the old woman is tidying up the shop, and the old man is cleaning up the ground, and it seems that the door is about to close.

"Do you still have osmanthus cakes?"

The old woman looked up at us and said with a slight smile: "Good luck to your husband and wife, we are about to close the stall, and there is still the last osmanthus cake left, so I will give it to you!"

Daji was busy taking out a few copper coins to her, and the old woman waved her hand and said, "No, I gave it to you, we haven't seen such a loving couple like you for a long time!"

Daji happily leaned on my shoulder and asked, "Has my mother-in-law been here for a long time?"

The old woman smiled: "The old man and I have been selling dim sum here for decades!"

The old man also looked up and smiled: "Since I married her, I have been guarding this shop here, and I haven't been out of Guangling for decades!"

The old woman glanced at him and said angrily: "It seems that I forced you, and it's not that you had to marry me in the first place!"

The old man said to me and Daji: "What the old woman said is that I haven't seen such a loving couple like you for a long time, and I can come often when I have time in the future, although the old woman is old, the craftsmanship of making dim sum is more exquisite!"

I smiled and said, "Then thank you, uncle, I will definitely come over to disturb me when I have time!"

The old woman took out another oil-paper umbrella, handed it to me, and said, "I'm afraid it will rain for a long time, so don't get typhoid fever with your umbrella." ”

Daji thanked him: "Thank you mother-in-law, the sky is sunny when you turn back, we will send it back to you!"

The old woman smiled and said, "Good, good, good! Mother-in-law likes children like you." ”

I held an umbrella over my and Daji's heads. Daji hugged the osmanthus cake and ate it as she walked.

We walked slowly, three streets for less than half an hour.

Xu Cheng was still waiting for us in front of the door, and when he saw us approaching, he was about to come up and talk.

I didn't wait for her to get close, so I sent a message to her: "Don't come here, I'll talk about it tomorrow, don't disturb today." ”

Xu Cheng was stunned, it was the first time she had encountered such a miraculous thing, and it was also the first time I had sent a message to a mortal.

Daji went upstairs happily, and I ordered some food at the inn and took it upstairs together.

Daji slept very sweetly this night, not just what kind of dreams she had, but also a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Cultivation is hard work, and Daji still has a long way to go. I hope to be able to take her on the path of cultivation and achieve something on this path, but now it will take a long time. Her attachment to the world exceeded my original expectations.

Xu Cheng came to knock on the door in the early morning of the second day, when it was just dawn.

Without waiting for her to knock, I pushed the door and walked out, whispering, "She hasn't woken up yet, I'm going to talk about something in your room." ”

Xu Cheng nodded and led me into her room.

A few days ago, I was drinking with Yan Ziyun here, but today I changed it to Xu Ying. All kinds of changes in this world, even the gods, don't know everything.

Xu Cheng prepared some drinks and said, "I have something to ask Mr., Sir, but please take it yourself." ”

I waved my hand, sat down on the side of the desk, and said, "You can speak, ask some questions that you can know, and don't go beyond it." ”

Xu Cheng was very respectful, carefully tidied up his clothes, knelt opposite him, very in line with etiquette, and asked, "Where does Mr. come from?

I replied, "From the unknown, to the unknown." ”

Xu Cheng asked again: "Is there an immortal god in the world?"

I nodded, shook my head again, and said, "Naturally, there are immortals, but I am not from the heavenly realm. ”

Xu Cheng continued: "Can there be immortals in the world?"

I smiled and said, "I have it, otherwise where would the immortals come from!"

Xu Cheng said: "Is there anyone who can become an immortal in this world?"

I pointed out the window and said, "Huaiyang Yingyao, if there is no accident, three years later, the day will be immortal." ”

Xu Cheng said again: "Sir, can you point out the way to become an immortal?"

I said, "It's a good way, it's very good." The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. are all in "Lao Tzu", those who are destined to get it, and those who are not destined can't, the truth in the world is circulating, and the world can't be forced. ”

Xu Cheng said: "If you are not in the world, can you force it?"

I nodded, "No, it's better to let it be." ”

Xu Cheng seems to understand whether she understands or not, no matter how smart she is, she can't understand too many things beyond her knowledge.

I had to say, "Thank you for your advice, I wonder if you can follow Mr. for a few days?" ”

I shook my head and said, "You and I only have today's fate, and when today's fate is over, we can only meet again." ”

Xu Cheng asked: "What is the meaning of the word "Yuanfa?"

I smiled and said, "From man to heaven." In the future, you and I will see each other again, and you will already know when you think about it. ”

I bowed to him, got up and went back to my room.

Daji woke up slowly, saw me sitting at the head of the bed, and said with a smile: "Didn't you sit here all night?"

I shook my head and said, "I didn't have a night that long, and I just went to see Xu Ying, and I went for about a quarter of an hour." ”

Daji smiled and asked, "What did you do when you went up to see Xu Ying?"

I replied, "She saw a vision of you and me yesterday, and she came to visit me today, and I didn't want to wake you, so I went to her and talked for a while." ”

Daji got up with a smile and said, "Another one who wants to ascend to the immortal?"

I nodded and said, "She has some relationship with Zhang Liang, and she can be regarded as a teacher of Huangshi Gong." It's a pity that like her senior brother, she doesn't have the fate of ascending to immortals, so she can only go to the underworld to seek immortal Taoism again. ”

Daji asked: "It seems that it is getting more and more difficult to become an immortal in the world, and there are many mortals who become immortals when they become gods, and now there is no one for decades." ”

I explained, "The dynasty on earth is stable, and the luck is condensed, and the cultivators are a little sad. Without the support of luck, it is too difficult to become an immortal. ”

Daji asked again, "How did you become an immortal in the first place?"

Daji's question made me recall it well, and no one ever asked me how I became an immortal.

After thinking for a moment, he said to her: "It's too long, at that time, I had been practicing with my teacher for ten years, and at that time I had reached the extreme of mortals, and I was only one step away from turning into an immortal. The teacher took me all over the world, looking at all kinds of things in the world, and finally in Kunlun Mountain, I understood the truth that everything is a dog, and I turned from mortal to immortal. ”

Daji smiled: "The teacher really spoils you, and can take you on so many roads!"

I also smiled and said, "How can the teacher be as narrow as you think, most of the people who traveled with me at the beginning have been taken by the teacher!"

Daji asked again, "How many people have ascended to the immortal in the end?"

I paused and said, "Ten people ascended to immortals, and nine died in battle. ”

Daji was puzzled: "The immortals have no desires and no desires, why are there still battles?"

I said: "The gods have no desires and no desires, but they are not without fighting, and the battle of ideas is far more tragic than the battle of interests. At the beginning, the human immortals and the demon immortals fought because of the racial concept, and countless immortals fell. It wasn't until the Emperor of Heaven decreed reconciliation that the battle was stopped. ”

Daji hugged my arm and said, "At that time, the king was very uncomfortable. ”

I nodded silently and said no more.
