"Ancestral exclusive secret recipe, Liu's sauce meat, a piece of spirit stone and an altar~"

"The best flying sword of the immortals, endure the pain and cut love, don't miss the opportunity and never come again!"

"The cultivation secret book passed down by the real person of the god himself, 50,000 spirit stones are not worth two prices!"

In District B3, on the wide square, all kinds of people are running all kinds of businesses, from the Lingbao Secret Book to the firewood, rice, oil and salt. Enthusiastic merchants, passers-by, and onlookers...... All kinds of people set off the hustle and bustle of the empty space created by the immortals.

It has been three months since the opening of the Immortal City, and tens of millions of people have entered this dream city one after another, and then it is like seeds taking root and sprouting here, and then the branches and leaves are luxuriant. Zone B 3 is just a small microcosm of the larger context.

Of course, for many people, this piece of land in District B 3 is vast enough that it is worth all their efforts to operate and explore.

"Little mouse, have you found the three golden vine leaves I wanted?"

"It won't be delivered until the afternoon at the earliest...... Okay, don't rush it, I can't conjure the golden vine leaf for you. And it's only been half a day, where do you want me to find you the golden vine leaf? ”

"Hmph, don't forget that you still want me to boil your Eight Desolations and Liuhe Soup, which delays my business, don't think about cultivating immortals in your life!"

"I know, I know, I don't need to repeat it day by day, you dead face, why didn't you find out that you were so verbose when you were in the suburbs? Okay, I'm going to go outside to sweep the goods, you can take care of the house with peace of mind~ In addition, should you find a chance to take a shower? The whole house smells of you. ”

"Get out of here!"

After escaping out of the dark, damp semi-basement, the boy took a long breath, felt the fresh air fill his lungs again, rolled over pleasantly, and then unfurled a sly smile.

The young man is Shu Si, who came here on a whim three months ago.

After being rescued by Wang Lu, he lived in the city of immortals, and the residence in District A 17 would provide daily necessities, and the young man who had been hungry and full on the outskirts of the city would have no worries about food and clothing. But he soon discovered that the vast world outside was more interesting than eating, sleeping, and eating in his room.

The city of immortals is full of immortals. Those high-ranking monks can be found everywhere here, and the density is even better than that of Fengdu City. Shu Si has always fantasized about being accepted as a closed disciple by a highly respected immortal, and since then he has embarked on the supreme immortal road and is at ease.

However, after hanging around in the Immortal City for several days, he realized that his idea was too simple. At the beginning, he failed to meet his immortal fate in Fengdu City, and now he is in the same difficult situation in Qunxian City. There are many respected immortals, but none of them are interested in him. The red-and-white monk he met on the first day was undoubtedly a good man, but he soon knew that the red-and-white monk was so far away from him that he was afraid that he would not see each other again in this life...... And although that person is famous, he is also very controversial, and his enemies are everywhere, if he rashly says that he has something to do with him, he is afraid that he will suffer from it.

Shu Si walked around the immortal city for a few days, and the immortal yuan didn't ask for much, but he saw the approachability of the monks, and many monks were willing to condescend to talk to mortals like him, and the lines generally were: "Stinky boy, get away!" "Mortals, don't get in the way, beware of hitting you!" "You don't have long eyes when you walk!? "Hehe, there are just a few souls missing from the old man's ghost wand, I wonder if you are interested in coming in and playing?" and so on.

Maybe he should have resigned himself to his fate a long time ago—he wasn't one of the lucky ones who had a natural spiritual root.

In desperation, Shu Si had no choice but to be down-to-earth and found the person next to him who was closest to the world of cultivating immortals - the dead face who sold the stolen goods for him. Although the identity of the dead face is mysterious, it is undoubtedly a monk with a spell. Shu Si found him, and under the soft grinding and hard bubbles, he finally let the dead face open his mouth and point out a way: artificial spirit root.

If you don't have a natural spiritual root, and you want to cultivate immortals, an artificial spiritual root is the only way. Maybe many high-grade factions don't look down on it, but it is an indisputable fact that artificial spirit roots are becoming more and more popular in today's Kyushu Continent. It's just that the artificial spirit root, which is worthless for many monks, is too expensive and too rare for mortals.

Fortunately, the dead face happened to have a pair of Eight Desolation Liuhe Soup that was acquired not long ago, the medium-grade goods in the artificial spiritual root, and after taking it, he had a middle-grade and lower-grade spiritual root, if he was talented, he was expected to reach the realm of the Void Pill in this life, and he could break through the Jindan in another adventure.

This decoction is not cheap, at least for Shu Si, it is a sky-high price that is difficult to reach in his life, but he also happens to have a sky-high prop in his hand - the missing compass given to him by Wang Lu.

Although that compass has an extraordinary meaning to him, the boy who grew up alone in the alley knows how to be flexible. He mortgaged the compass to the dead man, and then promised to work for him and redeem the compass with his own wages. The dead man's face was silent for a long time, and finally agreed to him.

Shu Si was laughing in his heart at the time, he really didn't see the wrong person, although the dead man's face looked cold and indifferent, he actually had a good heart.

It's just that Shu Si, who has been idle since he was a child, is difficult to have perseverance in a job, and he was diligent in the first few days, and after being busy in the small store with a dead face, he began to grind foreign workers in a few days.

For example, now, nominally he is going to the market in District B 3 to sweep the goods - that is, to pick up some bargains. But he soon ran to the bottom of the sign in the center to watch the play.

This is also one of the important entertainment activities for many residents of Qunxian City in recent times.

"Today should be the parting between the lover named Zheng Sixteen and his lover...... Zheng Sixteen's show is the most exciting in recent days, and it would be a pity to miss it. ”

While muttering, Shu Si sat down under a tree in the square and looked up at the sky.

——

"If you don't believe me, I'll tell you a joke about the Xiyi people's New Year's greetings, and you'll know what's going on."

"I really don't believe it! Tell me what's going on! ”

In the middle of the square, a huge signboard hangs with the words "Zone B3" written on it, but has been replaced by a water screen projection spell. In the water curtain, hundreds of actors in plain robes perform a show called group comedy.

This group comedy has been performing day and night for two months in a row.

In the past two months, the number of cross talk actors who appeared before and after exceeded 30,000, all of whom were unaspiring artists who Wang Lu used the power of the Ten Thousand Immortals League to collect from various places in the Kyushu mainland in the shortest possible time. Most of these people used to live on the hunger line and were destitute, but now they are fortunate to participate in the opening ceremony of the Great Contest of Immortals and ascend to the sky. These people were formed in groups of six or seven hundred, a total of fifty groups, and then they took turns on the stage. A full rotation takes about three days. For these actors, the work intensity is not very high, and it is not difficult to maintain.

Crosstalk itself is boring. Educate, but laugh-free cross talk sounds like torture at all, but outside of cross talk, the stories that reflect the lives of the characters are particularly fascinating.

It stands to reason that this kind of performance with no new ideas and no sincerity will soon be strongly resisted by the audience, but Wang Lu has a pair of skillful hands and has come back to life to transform this group of comedy into a super popular show.

Every time a group of actors takes the stage, countless images emerge on the stage to show the details of their lives, and one of them is highlighted. In the first round, it was Lao Zhang who enjoyed the key display treatment, and behind him was a young man who looked like he was silent.

The story of this young man is different from Lao Zhang, he was not a cross talk actor before, his younger brother is, and he is talented, and he can make people laugh as soon as he opens his mouth. It's a pity that God is jealous of talent, his younger brother died of a sudden illness at the age of twenty, and the biggest regret when he died was that he loved cross talk so much, but the road of cross talk was just beginning to end, and from then on he will never be able to hear the laughter of the audience again, and he will never see those sincere smiling faces again, and he still has many ideas about cross talk, and he has created many jokes, but he can no longer show them to everyone.

After that, the young man buried his younger brother, sold the family property, and began to work hard to learn cross talk. Although it was half the effort, he persevered, hoping that one day he would be able to tell these stories to the world in person, and then live in place of his brother.

This young man, who lives in the shadow of his younger brother, has the sympathy of many people. Although he has a wooden temperament and mediocre eloquence, he has a handsome appearance and melancholy eyes. And the sincere relationship between him and his younger brother, especially many intimate moments in life - such as brothers rubbing each other's backs in the bath, hugging each other in the cold wind to keep warm...... It made countless female viewers crazy, and the ratings of that episode of group comedy were also quite good.

…… Stories like this have been emerging in the past two months, and the form of the table is rapidly evolving.

In the beginning, the show was just a simple clip of a person's life. Later, it was found that there were some complex stories that were difficult to explain clearly in just half an hour, so the form of serialization was born. If a story is not finished in this round, then wait for the same group of people to rotate three days later, and continue to play it last time. This provides a richer space for the expression of the story, so there are more twists and turns in the story......

Gradually, group comedy began to become popular in Qunxian City, no matter which district, the most important way for people to entertain is to raise their heads and watch the stories of those who belong to the cross talk actors.

Today's group is the turn to play the story of Zheng Sixteen, and it is also the most popular story in recent times.

(I wish you all a happy Christmas Eve~ I look forward to drinking everyone's full moon wine in November next year!) ）
