In just two days, less than 1,000 of the more than 30,000 people who followed Yu Ji remained. The requirements of the wood school are very high, carefully selected, and in the end, only twenty-seven people were recruited, of which eleven were women. The workshop is in relatively large demand, recruiting more than 300 craftsmen, dragging families and families, and more than 1,000 people. The most harvested are Xu Qian and Meng Jian, they recruited more than 5,000 households, more than 30,000 people, far beyond the expected goal, Pingyu County can not settle everyone, can only arrange some people to go to Linxian County.

However, for the entire Yuzhou, these thousands of households are not a problem at all, and they can be resettled ten times more.

After completing the task, Xu Qian and the others withdrew one after another, leaving Yu Ji and hundreds of devout believers to continue to wait. After reaping the benefits, Yang Xiu's mood was much better, and he arranged an empty camp for Yu Ji and his followers to live, but the food was still very average, and he couldn't die of hunger or food.

Yu Ji is very quiet, let alone out of the camp, he rarely even goes out of the big tent, and sits and meditates in the tent every day. Believers spend most of their time outside their tents, meditating, chanting mantras, or walking around the camp, which is relatively peaceful.

Sun Ce received the report and felt that the heat was almost over. The time dragged on long enough, and the guests who should have been invited were almost invited, and it would be a delay if it dragged on any longer. Although it is not beneficial, many people's thoughts about immortals have faded, and there are still not a few people who believe in immortals, especially women. Yuan Quan wanted to see Yu Ji and asked Yu Ji to explain Yuan Heng's gaffe. Those women whose mothers had relatives who had fled abroad also wanted to ask the living immortals to calculate when they would be able to turn the disaster into auspiciousness, and asked Mrs. Chen to ask Yuan Quan, hoping that Sun Ce could lift the ban and let them meet the living immortals.

They could have gone directly to see Yu Ji - Sun Ce did not stop others from asking to see the living immortals - but they either had interests to consider, or they were worried about Sun Ce's revenge, so they kept their restraint and waited for Sun Ce to nod.

So, Sun Ce set up a banquet on the water pavilion to catch the wind for Yu Ji.

The banquet was organized by Yuan Quan, and the guests were both men and women, and the husband and wife who came together sat together, and those who came alone either found friends or randomly combined, and those who did not want to sit with others were left alone, each as they pleased. Although Yuan Heng is a wife, he has not yet passed the door, so he sat at the same table with Yuan Yao, Yuan Quan did not sit with Sun Ce, but sat with Yin Ji and Ellan, Sun Shangying led a group of younger brothers and sisters, Guo Jia led the military strategy department, and Lu Dai served as a welcome guest and arranged for guests to be seated. Zhang Zhao, Xu Qian and other officials of the Taishou Mansion were invited, and Gong Du, Wu Ba, He Yi and other Yellow Turban generals were also listed.

More than 100 people gathered together, and even seats were arranged under the corridor of the water pavilion. Fortunately, the weather is not cold, the wind is not big, the breeze is coming, the water waves are not exciting, the moonlight is hazy, the water and the moon reflect each other, it is still very pleasant.

Sun Ce chatted with Zhao Wen. Zhao Wen is an envoy from the imperial court, and an elder who has been a commonplace, Sun Ce is still very polite to him, and arranges for him to sit beside him, in terms of dignity and humility, second only to the seat of the host and guest living immortal Yu Ji on the other side.

"Zhao Gong, with such an arrangement, you won't impeach me after you return to Beijing, right?" Sun Ce said half-jokingly.

"How dare you, how dare you." Zhao Wen smiled awkwardly. He understood what Sun Ce meant. It stands to reason that he was a court envoy and the most honored guest. Or the other party is a living immortal, and he is not good at competing with Yu Ji. When this matter reached Chang'an, he didn't care if anyone would impeach Sun Ce, what he cared about was whether someone would impeach him.

"Does Zhao Gong believe in the theory of immortals?"

Zhao Wen looked at Zhang Zhao and the others, who were talking enthusiastically, and pondered for a moment. "I believe it, but there are many people who claim to be immortals, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood."

"I think so, too." Sun Ce laughed, looking at a group of men and women who were anxious to see the immortals, especially Yuan Quan, he couldn't help but want to laugh. Yuan Quan was embarrassed by him, and deliberately turned his head to talk to Yin Ji and Ellan, ignoring Sun Ce, but he couldn't suppress the blush on his face, adding a bit of maturity and brightness under the light.

"What kind of immortal is Zhao Gong's mind?"

Zhao Wen thought about it carefully. "Longevity, rejuvenation, being able to draw talismans and recite spells, heal people, and so on."

"Hey, if that's all you have, you can only be called a Taoist, not an immortal." Although Zhang Zhao was greatly affected by the living immortals, he was still full of expectations for the meeting with the living immortals. In his opinion, there are not many people who can talk to Yu Ji, and only Sun Ce has this qualification in front of him. Yu Ji is capable, he saw with his own eyes that Yu Ji healed people's diseases, and his hands were on the way to get rid of diseases. It's just that ordinary people don't have enough realm to understand his Taoism, so he refuses to teach it easily. Sun Ce is not an idle person, and his dialogue with Yu Ji will definitely benefit people a lot.

Zhao Wen was a little unhappy. He was twenty years older than Zhang Zhao, but Zhang Zhao was obviously not respectful enough to him, and had a kind of conceit common to Kanto people.

"Please also ask for the guidance of the Ming Mansion."

"Immortals are just a common saying, strictly speaking, gods are gods, immortals are immortals, and they should not be confused. The one of God is also the man of heaven. or descending from heaven, but after a person dies, he ascends to heaven because of merit, and he has not seen a person who has become a god in the flesh. Immortals are different, they are mortals, and they can be physical. The word immortal comes from the person from the mountain, and the person who enters the mountain to practice is an immortal, but he cannot become a god. Yes, Yu Ji is an immortal, not a god. Immortals are visible, gods are not visible......"

Zhang Zhao talked eloquently. Among the guests, in addition to Zhao Wen, his knowledge and official position gave him the most right to speak, and Yu Ji was from Xuzhou, of course, he should also be from Xuzhou to eliminate Zhao Wen from Yizhou. Although Zhao Wen is the third duke, but the court is in chaos, the third duke has long lost the dignity that the third duke should have, and Zhao Wen came to beg again, starting from Sun Ce, there are really not many people in Yuzhou who really take Zhao Wen seriously.

Everyone listened to it with relish, and they all agreed with it, some people yearn for the freedom of the immortals, and some people praise Zhang Zhao for his knowledge, and even these questions are analyzed. Qingxu is the heaviest in the wind of immortals, and most of the people invited to come are believers in immortals, which is a little different from the heavy witches and ghosts in Yizhou. To a certain extent, some of them still look down on the Yizhou people who believe in witches and ghosts, and regard them as barbarians. At this moment, seeing Zhang Zhao explain the difference between gods and immortals for Zhao Wen, they were all excited and proud.

"What is an immortal? Longevity and long-term vision, rejuvenation is just the beginning, drawing talismans and chanting mantras, curing diseases and saving people, but also small skills, the way of tomorrow and the earth, and the same life as heaven and earth, holding strange pearls, eating fairy fruits, walking against the wind, traveling between the world, seeing the vicissitudes of life, this is the real immortal ......"

Zhang Zhao's eyebrows fluttered when he spoke, and everyone listened to it as if they were fascinated. Sun Ce saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but want to laugh. These people really don't have a long memory, have they forgotten that the living immortals have been left out in the cold for so long, and they almost ran out of cooking? However, he didn't want to interrupt Zhang Zhao, so let him say, the higher he raised the standard of immortals, the more he could try out the auspicious gold content later. can attract so many people to accompany him and make such a big reputation, Yu Ji is still a little bit of a doorman, but I don't know if he can meet the standard that Zhang Zhao said.

Yin Ji leaned into Yuan Quan's ear and whispered, "Sister, why am I a little uneasy when I look at my husband's eyes?" ”

Yuan Quan forced his composure and patted Yin Jiao's hand. "Don't worry, the husband has his own ideas for doing things, and he won't mess around. If he wasn't sure, how could he invite so many guests? ”

Yin Ji nodded, and was about to say more, when people suddenly quieted down, and hundreds of eyes turned to the staircase in unison.

Yu Ji, dressed in white and with crane hair and a childish face, stood quietly at the top of the stairs, the breeze was blowing, and his snow-white beard and clothes were blowing lightly in the wind, fluttering like a fairy.
