Whoosh - the arrow went off the string, and a fawn a hundred meters away fell to the ground. The shooter smiled heartily and said to his friends left and right, "This suckling deer should be a lot of color at the banquet in the evening." Although the shooter has outstanding martial arts, he does not have the bravery and rough courage of ordinary warriors, but is a crown and a broad belt, showing the elegant demeanor of a fairy. He is Xu Xun, the commander of Jingyang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and he respects him.

Everyone applauded, and immediately two families rushed to pick up the prey.

However, at this moment, a jaw-dropping scene appeared: a doe returned to the fawn despite the danger, and licked the fawn's wounds sadly, as if expecting it to come back alive.

But that arrow had cut off all the life of the fawn, and no matter how much the doe licked it, the fawn eventually died. The doe screamed, and even died by the side of the fawn, and her intestines were broken!

At this moment, Xu Xun clearly saw that the doe's eyes were overflowing with blood and tears! He only felt a sudden sigh of relief in his chest, as if he had figured out something, and as if he had lost something.

With a "snap", he broke the strong bow in his hand, and left resolutely under the strange eyes of everyone.

Xu Xun is praised by his master as a once-in-a-lifetime genius, whether it is history, astronomy, geography, medicine or martial arts, no one in the same sect can stand out.

Becoming an official is the last test of the master for him, and if he can pass, he will be the next master.

Xu Xun guessed that this was the teacher's intention to let him accumulate merits, so at the beginning of his tenure, he was determined to serve the people wholeheartedly and help the poor. When the grain harvest in Jingyang was poor and the people couldn't pay the taxes, Xu Xun used what he learned to turn stones into gold to help the people pay rent.

Some people ridicule and say: turning stones into gold is just a superficial trick. Xu Xun was silent, he didn't care about this kind of trick of charlatans to deceive, and he didn't bother to respond. Only true masters know that his turning stones into gold is a very advanced purification technique. Jingyang is rich in gold mines, but it is so poor that it is difficult to explore, and even if it is detected, the cost of smelting is much higher than the output. Xu Xun used Xuan Gong to purify the gold in the stone, thus giving people the illusion that a stone is turned into gold.

For Xu Xun's benevolence, everyone praises him, but the strange thing is that the test of the master has not passed.

As soon as Xu Xun returned to the county office, he had not yet sat down, and the government came forward to report that Jingyang was in another disaster year, and there was almost no harvest! The people crowded in front of the yamen and waited for Xu Xun to turn stones into gold to pay taxes.

Xu Xun couldn't help but wonder, since he arrived in Jingyang, he had nine disasters in ten years, could it be that he was a disaster star?

Walking out of the county office, Xu Xun found that as the government said, there were hundreds of people in front of the county office, and everyone was looking at a stone in front of them! What made Xu Xun feel vomiting blood was that these stones were bigger than one another, and some were even bigger than the grinding plate! Even if it shrinks greatly after the gold point, it is enough to pay taxes for more than ten years!

Seeing Xu Xun come out, all the people knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing and begging, Xu Xun was confused in his heart, and told the yacha to accept the stone first before dismissing everyone.

Looking at the big stones all over the yard, Xu Xun sighed. The old porter of the county government came out tremblingly and said: "My lord, there is a sentence that the old man does not know whether to say or not. ”

"The old man has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it," Mr. Xu said. The old porter is over the age of old, and he has served too many orders, and Xu Xun respects him very much.

The porter paused for the crutches in his hand and said, "If you have time, you might as well go to the fields with the old man." ”

Xu Xun's heart moved, the old porter had something to say, could it be that the people lied about the disaster?

Following the old gatehouse into the ridge of the field, Xu Xun found that the weeds in the crops were knee-high, and there was not even a single crop in some fields! This is a terrible famine.

"Do you think this disaster is serious?"

"It's so badly affected that the people can't make a living." Xu Xun replied. At the same time, I blame myself for what I just thought, how can I doubt the simple people?

The old porter smiled indifferently and said: "There is no drought or flood this year, it can be said that the wind and rain are smooth, and there are no insects and locusts gathering, why is it a disaster?" ”

"What does the old man mean?" Xu Xun asked.

The old porter pointed to the land with his cane and said, "The calamity is not here, but in the hearts of men!" ”

"Disaster in the heart?"

"Exactly!" The old porter said: "The other cities and counties adjacent to Jingyang have all had bumper harvests, but Jingyang has almost no harvest, not because of anything else, but precisely because the people of Jingyang have a parent official who can turn stones into gold!" If you can get something for nothing, who wants to work hard? ”

Xu Xun suddenly realized, and the knot in his heart was untied, and he finally understood that the test of the master was by no means for him to accumulate merits, but for him to explore human nature. Only in this way can he not be confused by all kinds of things in the world, and can he be born transcendentally and at ease!

Xu Xun shook the old doorman to the ground and said sincerely: "The old man's golden and jade words are respectful and taught." ”

On the way back to the county office, Xu Xun felt relaxed, but a thatched house made him stop again.

A young man was boiling medicine in front of the house, and the sand pot was steaming hot, and the fragrance of medicine was overflowing.

From time to time, the old woman's violent coughing sound was heard in the grass hut, and the young man gently fanned the fire in the furnace with a pu fan, and comforted him warmly: "Mother, the medicine is almost ready, and you will not cough after drinking the medicine." The filial piety of the young man made Xu Xun feel compassionate, he walked in front of the young man, and asked: "The other people have gone with stones and gold, why don't you go?" ”

Seeing that it was Xu Xun, the young man hurriedly stood up and said, "My lord, my mother is sick, I have to take care of her, and I really can't leave." ”

Xu Xun smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand to turn a stone next to the stove into gold, and asked, "Are you willing to learn my alchemy?" ”

To Xu Xun's surprise, the young man shook his head.

Just when Xu Xun thought that the young man was not greedy and had a pure character, the young man's eyes showed a greedy light, and he pointed to Xu Xun's hand and said, "I want this hand!" ”

Xu Xun was petrified on the spot, and then Ha Lu Ha Da laughed and said, "I see, I see! I finally figured it out. "After that, he stepped through the void and became an immortal!

Xu Xun stepped on the floating clouds, looking at the world, good thoughts, evil thoughts, beauty, and ugliness were tightly entangled, and even immortals could hardly tell them all.

He looked at his right hand, although turning stones into gold can solve the people's temporary difficulties, it is also easy to breed greed and laziness! The result is often a good intention to do bad things, which is not the original intention.

Since what you have learned from this body comes from the world, let it stay in the world, and even let it stay with this gold-pointing hand that the world covets, and give it a fate.

He sealed what he had learned in his life in his right hand, slashed it with a swing of his sword, and his right hand fell in response, cutting through time and space, and finally disappeared.

Facing the direction of the severed hand falling, Xu Xun silently recited: "Animals are originally changed by people, and the reincarnation of humans and animals has been from ancient times to the present. Don't see the fur and wear horns, persuade the king to rest and make the beast heart! Lucky boy, I hope you can do it to yourself! ”
