Fairy Yu was overjoyed, stroked her palms and smiled: "It turns out that you have really read this book, by the way, it is this book, and the master taught us the same thing." However, Master said that he couldn't do it, and only told us the method, and I was the only one among the disciples who did it. I've been eating only calamus and nothing else for five years in a row. I used to be very fat, and the clothes you wore were the same clothes I used to wear. But now, look at how thin I have become, and there are feathers growing on my body, and I will soon become an immortal. ”

"So I tell you that the sages do not deceive us, and that these methods are absolutely useful. Some people say that it is nonsense of sages and nonsense. What I want to say is that they are nonsense, look at me, don't I just live a good life, and I'm about to soar to become an immortal, so don't doubt the ancients, and don't doubt that there are immortals in this world. ”

Yang Xianmao looked at Bai Yun and said, "Do you think this method can really soar to immortality?"

Bai Yun said: "I don't know, I also know this method when I see this book, she always pesters me, asking me to teach her how to fly to become an immortal, I told her that it is recorded in the ancient books, if there is perseverance, practice according to it." I originally thought that she would not be able to practice, because as far as I know, no one can stick to this method, because if you only eat calamus for many years, you will either die of weakness or give up halfway. Unexpectedly, she didn't die, she didn't give up, she persevered until now, with more and more feathers on her body, even I was a little skeptical that this method was really effective, and it could really make people become immortals. ””

Yang Xianmao said: "There are really immortals in this world, I know that there is a person who once stepped into the immortal world with half a foot, but then fell. ”

"You're talking about Venerable Ling Xiao, it was already a person from hundreds of years ago, and no one has been able to do it since. ”

The Feather Fairy said triumphantly: "But I will soon become the second Ling Xiao Venerable, I feel that half of my feet have also stepped into the immortal realm, and I will soon be able to feather and ascend to immortal." ”

Caiyun yawned and said, "Forget it, anyway, a mortal like me doesn't expect to be able to become an immortal." I'm going to make some food, you first think about where you can go to drink, let's continue to drink in the evening, to celebrate my cure of white worm disease, tonight I must accompany my eldest brother to have a drink, thank him for saving his life. ”

Fairy Yu said: "Master, can I participate?" I think I hit it off with this Lang Zhong at first sight, and he actually accurately said my method and characteristics of becoming an immortal, which shows that he has a very high attainment in becoming an immortal. Moreover, he even knew that Ling Xiao Venerable, who had stepped into the immortal realm in half a step before, wanted to talk to him more. ”

Bai Yun said: "No problem, in this way, you go and send the wine to Yizhi Peak, we will go there at noon to drink, and we will drink until evening, and even until dawn tomorrow, can you drink it?"

Fairy Yu said: "My drinking is so-so, but I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman, and I can sleep when I am drunk." ”

Yang Xianmao raised his thumb and said: "That's right, drink until you get drunk, this is the wine fairy, I didn't expect that the Taoist master has a deep cultivation of becoming an immortal, and he is also very accomplished in drinking." ”

The feather fairy smiled stupidly and said: "I'll tell you a trick, how did I spend the most difficult time when I took the stone calamus feather to become an immortal, that is, I drank, I really couldn't stand it and drank, I said if I want to die, let me get drunk to death." I found that I easily got through the most painful times after drinking, and after that time it slowly got better, not once, of course, many times. At that time, I thought I was going to die several times, but I had already made a great wish, if I couldn't become an immortal, I would rather die. Since God let me die, I'll die, I didn't expect it to be really better. ”

Bai Yun waved his hand and said, "Okay, you've said enough, hurry up and do things." ”

The feather fairy saluted and withdrew.

Yang Xianmao looked at her back and groaned, and Bai Yun next to her said, "What's wrong?"

Yang Xianmao nodded and said: "Yes, I don't know how to become an immortal, but I think it's definitely not just a matter of eating calamus to become an immortal, if you can fly to an immortal so simply, the gods in the sky will already be full of immortals, what kind of Tao do you cultivate, what kind of Zen do you participate in, everyone eats calamus every day, and you will become an immortal after eating it for a few years, isn't it convenient?"

Bai Yun raised his thumb and said: "You are really smart, at least very calm, you can actually see through the tricks, admire." ”

Yang Xianmao said: "Listening to the meaning of your words, you seem to have seen this problem a long time ago, but you didn't stop your apprentice from using this method, or using this lazy shortcut to seek immortality, it doesn't seem appropriate." ”

"Why do you think I didn't warn her?" I said these things more than once, but she couldn't listen to them, because she had already grown her first fluff at that time, so she thought it was completely effective. On the contrary, she laughed at me for not daring to practice this method of being a master, and she said that she would let her practice, even if she died, let her explore a path for me. ”

Yang Xianmao said: "It seems that she is a very stubborn person who will never give up on the right things, if this dedication to becoming an immortal is used on the right path of Taoism, I believe that even if she can't fly to become an immortal one day, at least she can prolong her life, and be a living immortal, wouldn't it be faster to live and be more comfortable?"

Bai Yun said: "Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, since she thinks this method is feasible, then she will try it." Maybe we are wrong, people are right, and when they become immortals and stand in the clouds and look down on us, we may regret why we don't have that perseverance. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Xianmao flicked the sleeves of his robe and said, "That's it, that's it, I want to turn around now and look at your Baiyun Temple." ”

"That's right, you haven't been shopping carefully when you came yesterday, and you've patronized and eaten, so I'll accompany you to take a look around. ”

So Bai Yun took Yang Xianmao to walk around the temple at will, introducing the gods enshrined in each palace. They walked all the way to the fire room in the backyard, and suddenly they heard the sound of swearing, the sound of whipping, and the howling and crying of a woman.

Bai Yun and Yang Xianmao frowned almost at the same time, and Bai Yun said, "What's the matter? Who is beating people with whips inside?"

As she spoke, she walked towards the place where the voice came from, Yang Xianmao followed her, and came to a small courtyard in the backyard, where she saw a woman in coarse cloth holding her head, curled up and rolling on the ground, and a fat middle-aged woman, holding a rattan in her hand, was beating her fiercely, and her mouth was still shouting: "Call you lazy, tell you not to work." ”

The person next to him saw Bai Yun and them coming in, and quickly stretched out his hand to pull her, and said, "Stop, the abbot is here." ”

The short and fat cook stopped her hand, turned her head to look, and saw the Lord of Baiyun Temple, quickly threw down the rattan and walked over, intervened and said, "Meet the abbot." ”

"What are you doing?"

"This damn girl, listless all day, about to cook, she hasn't even washed the dishes yet, I got angry and taught her a lesson. ”

Bai Yun glanced at the woman and recognized her as a rough maid in the kitchen, called Xiu Nu, a slave he had bought from the street for a few taels of silver. Because there was a shortage of manpower in the kitchen of Baiyunguan at that time, and seeing that this woman was well-behaved and nimble, he paid to buy her back. It's been a few years since she bought it, and she's been doing things very solidly in the past few years, and I've never heard of anything about being lazy and slippery, and I don't know why I've become in a trance these days.

So Bai Yun walked over and said to her, "You don't have to be afraid, tell me what's wrong?"

The show girl looked at Bai Yun pleadingly and said, "It's the slave who is wrong, please forgive me." ”

"I'm not going to blame you, I'm asking you what the reason is, you've never been punished and complained about for being lazy and not working before, and the cook once praised you for your diligence in front of me, she's not a casual compliment. ”

The cook shook her thick arm and said, "That's it, I used to see that she was very well-behaved and quick to do things, I thought I had a good helper, but I didn't expect this to be such a master." It can be seen that she used to pretend to be tired, but now she is pretending to be tired and has returned to her true nature. ”

Bai Yun waved his hand, still looking at the show girl.

The show girl touched the blood marks on her body that were beaten by rattan, and cried and said: "The water girl is gone, I feel very sad, so I am in a trance." I'm sorry, I won't be in the future, I'll do things well. ”

Bai Yun said: "The water girl is friends with you, I know that you also took care of her during her illness, otherwise she would have died of illness." You're so kind to her, but she doesn't say goodbye, so why should you care about her?"

Yang Xianmao wanted to ease the atmosphere on the side, and deliberately asked: "Who is this water woman? ”

Bai Yun said: "The water girl is a Taoist aunt of Baiyun Temple, and the two of them are almost the front and back feet of Baiyun Temple. She came in from outside, I don't know why, I never asked, she worshipped me as a teacher, and I left her. She and Xiunu are like sisters, they are together in the morning and evening, but a few days ago she fell ill, very sick, and suddenly left Baiyun Temple one night, I don't know where she went. ”

Yang Xianmao said: "Since she is very sick, how can she walk away by herself?

"Yes, it's okay to walk slowly. ”

"What is the disease? Have you seen Lang Zhong?"

Bai Yun shook his head and said, "No, our Langzhong here can only cheat money, and he won't have the ability to cure diseases." Sending it to Lang Zhong is just throwing money out for nothing, and it won't help her illness. ”

Speaking of this, she glanced at Yang Xianmao apologetically and said, "I'm talking about our previous Langzhong, but I didn't talk about you." I know that you are a famous doctor, and you are very benevolent, so naturally you will not be like those bullshit men who are careless about people's lives and use other people's pain to make money. ”

Speaking of this, he turned back to the cook and said: "She used to be fine, and now it is understandable to make some mistakes, because her friend has left her, so she is a little distracted, you don't blame her too much, as long as she does a good job in the future." ”
