Chapter 298: The Path to Truth

This year, in Jiaxing City, which borders Wu Yuanguo in the east of the fairy world, a wealthy businessman surnamed Li came, not to mention, he was very lascivious, and he took tens of thousands of taels of gold to ask for relatives outside a certain house at every turn, which really made the big girl and little daughter-in-law in the city love and hate. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Love because this rich businessman is actually a good person, with good character and good appearance, although he is middle-aged, he is rich, powerful and tall, and the charm of a mature man is still very strong. According to the well-known matchmakers in the city, Aunt Wang, Aunt Li, Aunt Zhang, and Aunt Xu...... Introduction, he was in trouble at home in his early years, so he escaped from such a single seedling, and after more than ten years of hard work, he finally regained his wealth, so he was eager to stay in the future to add fragrance.

Hate because this buddy's criteria for choosing a wife and concubine are very hateful, beauty is the only criterion, regardless of whether he has been unmarried, or married and unmarried, whether he goes to the sea to prostitute himself, or hides in the house to embroider, goes to the field to farm, or is carefully cultivated by high-ranking officials and nobles, as long as he hears that she is very beautiful, he guarantees that he will come to the door to propose marriage in less than three days, and even the gold medal widow of the emperor's imperial seal has not been spared, which really makes people cry and laugh.

"Master, there is a letter from the palace......" In the living room of the Li family's mansion, the old housekeeper held an envelope in both hands and said respectfully to Master Li, who was looking at the scenery outside the window in a daze.

"Leave it aside. Master Li didn't look back, just said softly.

"Yes. The old butler bowed down and agreed.

"Uncle He, marrying another room on the second day of the first lunar month next month should be enough for seventeen, right?" Master Li knew that the old housekeeper did not leave immediately, so he asked.

"Well, if all wives and concubines are counted, it's exactly seventeen. When the old butler heard this, his face twitched twice, and he swallowed his saliva and replied.

To be honest, he had seen the master of the loser before, and he had served the master of the loser, and he had gained a lot of benefits because of it, but compared to the master Li in front of him, it could be said that the stone was better than the mountain. More than one million taels of gold to marry seventeen daughters-in-law, and everyone else has his mother, which loser can compare?

"Hehe, I remember that when I was a child, I was always reprimanded by my father for calling my aunt's wrong name, and now I think about it, why not be happy?" Master Li smiled faintly.

"Master, you, are you sure that your ancestral home is local? The old slave has ordered his subordinates to visit many places in the past six months, except for the 'Nine Immortal Temple' in the west of the city, which is rumored to have been slaughtered thousands of years ago, and I have never heard of any place where the whole family was destroyed!" The old butler lowered his head and hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, so he asked.

Half a year ago, the first job he took over as a housekeeper was to find his ancestors, saying that he was looking for a luxurious mansion courtyard, and the mansion courtyard had a history of the main family being killed overnight. For this reason, he used all kinds of connections to send countless people to wander around Jiaxing City with joy, but he has not found it to this day, and he has only heard that the temple dedicated to the gods has such a period.

"Oh, the Nine Immortals Temple, which kind of immortals are enshrined in the temple?" Old Man Li turned around when he heard this, and said with some excitement staring at the old housekeeper.

"Uh, listen, I heard that the worship is the 'Nine Dao Immortal Monarch'. The old butler was a little dumbfounded, and began to stutter as he spoke.

"'Nine Dao Immortal Monarch'? What is the origin? Men and women? Have you sent someone to investigate?" Regarding this topic, Master Li seemed to be very interested, and he usually couldn't say a few words for a day or two, and suddenly became very talkative.

"Well, the 'Nine Dao Immortal Monarch' is a man, I heard that he once killed the nine-headed Jiaolong and experienced the baptism of nine reincarnations, so he is called the 'Nine Dao Immortal Monarch'. The old housekeeper saw the change in Master Li's expression, and the shock and surprise in his heart became even heavier.

In order to gain a foothold in a certain place, it first sent people to find out the folk customs and character environment of the place, and then arranged some false programs to make out a story of recognizing relatives, ancestors, and ancestors, so that it grabbed the tiger skin, pulled up the banner, and correspondingly, also gained a foothold in the place.

However, the old man Li in front of him seems to be a little too much, not to mention marrying a chaste widow with a golden signboard, he actually wants to recognize the gods as his ancestors!

"Haha......" Master Li laughed when he heard this, and then strode out, leaving only a sentence of "I will go out for a few days and come back on the first day of next month" echoed in the hall.

Two years later, a palace coup occurred in Wu Yuanguo, and the five princes came to the fore and defeated four brothers and three uncles in one fell swoop to become the new emperor. And the first thing the new emperor did after ascending the throne was to give the descendants of the "Nine Dao Immortal Monarchs" who were awarded the title of "Nine Immortal Temple", that is, Master Li as the national teacher, and he was hereditary.

and gave the eldest son of the Li family as a first-class civil official, the second son of the Li family as a first-class military attaché, and the seventeen ladies as a first-class order, including the widow who was once crowned by the first emperor, which was also hereditary. At this point, the greasy in the palace coup is self-evident.

After another three hundred years, the descendants of the seven generations of the Li family passed away in the "Nine Immortal Temple", at this time he was already one hundred and ten years old, compared with the previous five generations, his lifespan was the longest, only two years less than the ancestor Master Li. However, although the life span is long, the quality of life is far from good, Master Li guards the seventeen flowers at home and always steals fish, and this one, who has been doing nothing all his life, always fantasizes about being a fairy, not only has he never married, but he has not encountered any strange pink opportunities, so he can only climb into the coffin with a complete body, which is quite sad, and the incense of the Li family has been broken.

However, before he died, two shocking secrets were revealed. One is that their ancestor, Master Li, is not a descendant of the "Nine Dao Immortal Monarchs", but himself, named Li Liang, who is the most powerful person in the East Linzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm. The second is that although Li Liang spent a lot of money to marry a seventeen daughters-in-law, he never gave birth to a boy and a half girl, and his only son was actually planted by the golden widow before he was married into the door.

With the passage of time, later generations have also made a variety of speculations about this "Nine Dao Immortal Monarch", and various rumors can be described as varied, some say that he is about to return to his hometown, some say that he has cultivated to become a descendant of Puji, and some say that he has encountered ups and downs to enter the WTO.

At sunset, the bright moon and stars slowly climbed up the blue sky. In the ditch at the foot of Xixia Mountain, an ordinary farmhouse courtyard is brightly lit and lively, women shuttle under the grape trellises, or hold fresh fruits and delicacies, or hold a huge wine jar, or hold hands, or whisper, and men sit around a small flower bed.

Some of these people are dressed in gorgeous imperial costumes, showing grace and luxury, some are wearing elegant Taoist robes, their expressions are indifferent as if they have seen through the red dust, and some are wearing linen clothes and coarse cloth, and occasionally there will be a few patches in the place, at a glance it is clear that they are old farmers who often work in the fields, if they do not see it with their own eyes, it is hard to believe that people with such a disparity in status will gather together.

In addition, men also have a characteristic, that is, they have the same figure, the same complexion, the same appearance, except for some differences in age and service, other aspects are almost identical, if someone says that they are a mother, I believe that no one will find fault with anything, only admire their mother, "Giving birth to more than a dozen children in a row, not a sow racing sow!"

"Brother Emperor, I haven't seen you for more than three hundred years, and your cultivation has improved a lot!" The gurgling stream flowed down the bamboo tube erected on the flower bed, and the tight-clothed middle-aged warrior sitting next to the daisy said to the brocade-robed young man next to the peony flower.

"Hehe, Brother Wu smiled. The brocade-robed young man smiled faintly, casually agreed, and then turned his gaze to the grape trellis, silently looking at the two women who were chatting passionately.

Both of them have a beautiful appearance, a graceful figure, a noble and elegant temperament, and a gentle and beautiful conversation, one of them is wearing a red dress, and the other is wearing a white dress.

"Hehe, don't look at it! It's yours and it will always be yours, it's useless if it's not your forcible request, more than three hundred years have passed, if you want to run, wouldn't you have run a long time ago, if you look at me, you won't worry at all!" Next to the brocade-robed young man, an old man in a linen coarse coat gently stroked the sturdy kapok at his feet a few times, and looked up just in time to see the passionate gaze of the brocade-robed young man, so he smiled playfully.

"Hehe, Brother Nong's affection for his brother is very admired!" The young man in the brocade robe was awakened by him, his face was slightly red, and he said a little embarrassed.

"Come on, I'm an old farmer who farms the land, what kind of fucking feelings can I have? The old man in the thick sackcloth pursed his lips when he heard this, and said angrily.

"Hehe, Brother Nong really hasn't changed at all! By the way, I don't know if the herbs planted by Brother Nong are ripe, and my brother has been renovating the waterways in recent years, and the mana consumption is huge, so he urgently needs some refining pills!" At this time, a young Taoist priest in a plain robe sitting next to the bellflower spoke.

"Hmph, you want to cheat medicine from me again, right? It's not that I said you, last time you told me that you were going to open a mountain, and you deceived more than a dozen thousand-year-old 'jade bell flowers' in one go, but the fucking only opened fourteen mountain roads, and it is not the kind that goes through the mountain, the common people must climb around the mountain, I didn't ask you to settle accounts, it's good, are you embarrassed?" As soon as he heard the young Taoist priest in plain robe open his mouth to ask for medicinal herbs, the old man in linen cloth and rough clothes immediately lowered his face and scolded and scolded.

"Hehe, Brother Qing should not mention the herbs, this is more difficult than drinking the blood of the farmer brother and eating the flesh of the farmer!" Seeing the old man in linen and rough clothes turn his face, the white-haired young man sitting next to the rose smiled Lang Lang.

"Don't talk about others, you're not a fucking good thing! Last time, I told me that my cultivation was deviated, and I asked for some herbs to refine the elixir to replenish qi, and I promised you because I was pitiful to you. But it's good for you, the herbs in the half garden have made you pluck out a fine light, and you deserve to have less white heads!" The old man in the linen cloth was very angry, and just after scolding the young Taoist priest in the plain robe, he turned his face and reprimanded the white-haired young man.

"Haha......"

"Haha......"

The angry eyes of the old man in the thick sackcloth caused everyone to laugh, and the originally dull atmosphere was enlivened by this, laughing or chatting, or sad or sighing, sitting together in twos and threes, talking freely, and drinking and talking. It didn't take long for the women to finally arrange the delicious food and return to their men's side, and the "reunion banquet" officially began.

"Everyone, before the banquet begins, the emperor has a few words I want to tell you first. Just as everyone was toasting and preparing to start, the brocade-robed young man stood up and took a few steps forward.

"Counting the time, it has been almost a thousand years since I came to the Void Heaven. During this period, we and others fought many battles for freedom, but to no avail, except for the last one, ......" Speaking of this, the young man in the brocade robe paused for a moment, and his expression revealed a little sadness.

"Let's raise our glasses and salute him together!" The brocade-robed young man took two deep breaths, slowly raised his wine glass and said, "It's like a dream, it's ups and downs, it's better to get drunk!"

After that, the young man in the brocade robe sprinkled the wine in the cup to the earth, and everyone obeyed. Then, he slowly retreated, and the woman in the white dress who had been with him poured a full cup for him with pity, and gently comforted: "If there is no struggle, how can you be happy, if you don't lose, how can you cherish it, it's been so long, it's better not to be sad anymore, otherwise you will only live up to his heart in vain." ”

"Hehe, it's still the white fairy who can comfort people! Unlike my mother-in-law, she knows how to be rude. The old man in the thick linen cloth heard the words of the woman in the white dress and said in a sour tone.

"Hmph!" The woman in red beside the old man in linen cloth snorted coldly when she heard this, and then gave him a fierce look, without saying anything more. However, this move still amused everyone and swept away the gloom of sadness.

"Hehe, Brother Nong and Fairy Ying are a match made in heaven, it is quite a matter of great effort for Brother Nong to find Fairy Ying, and he has almost swept all the nearby continents, but now he is saying such cool words, is it a little inappropriate?" Everyone laughed, and a middle-aged man in a satin dress slowly walked out surrounded by more than a dozen beautiful women, and said with a chuckle.

"Hmph, what's suitable or inappropriate? After so many years of old husband and wife, who doesn't know who is a little bad in character? Besides, my daughter-in-law and I are beating or scolding, what does it matter to you, a stinky rich man? If you have time, you should take care of your own daughter-in-law!" The old man in the coarse sackcloth was not happy, his nose was not a nose, and his face was not a face.

"Haha, Brother Nong, Brother Nong, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you still have this stinky temper!"

"Hehe, it stinks and it's hard, like a stone in a pit!"

"Hey, don't just talk about him, you are also this virtue. ”

"Do I have it? I'm the most reasonable! ”

"Alright, alright, let's hurry up and start the feast, there are so many delicacies here, but you turn a blind eye, it's really a tyrannical thing!"

You said that you are obviously an immortal cultivator, and you should guard the medicine jar, why do you prefer this bite?"

"What's the matter, no? When Kong Lao Er is still a prostitute, why can't immortal cultivators prefer food?"

"Hmph, you're using strong words!"

"How can this be a strong argument? We are obviously seeking truth from facts! Cultivating immortals is just seeking a way to live a long and healthy life, not a fucking force to be stars who don't eat or drink, guarding a medicine jar every day, squatting in a cave and pretending to be a king, how can there be the excitement of the worldly red dust?"

"Haha, it makes sense, it makes sense!"

……

After a period of noise, the banquet officially began, everyone sat around the flower bed, tasting wine and delicacies, holding the beauty and beloved wife, talking about the wine, talking freely, so happy.

At the same time, somewhere on the shore of a lake in the "Makuten Continent", an old fisherman in ragged clothes sitting on a boulder on the shore with a bamboo pole in his hand showed a shallow smile on his face. "It seems that I am too persistent, maybe this ordinary life is the true path of cultivation!"
