Chapter Seventy-Nine: Cultivating Immortals and Seeking the Tao is a Floating Cloud
Zhang Liang looked at me, his eyes full of excitement: "Why are you here?" I pointed at Zuo Ci and said, "He brought it." Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info" Zhang Liang scratched his head and said, "Yes, you are the apprentices of the Zuo Immortals. Look at my memory. I'll bring them the water first, and we'll talk later. Then I watched Zhang Liang bring them a pot of tea. Then pour them on one by one. This scene is obviously a private room in an elegant senior activity center. There is also a waiter with tea and water! It turns out that cultivating immortals is like this?
After a while, Zhang Liang walked back, and I pointed to the four people who were playing mahjong and asked, "You do this here every day?" Zhang Liang said with a smile: "It's not every day, a few immortals are here for a pastime on the first and fifteenth days of junior high school." Usually I practice with my two senior brothers. β
I said, "Is it the first day of junior high school or the fifteenth day of junior high school?" Ge Xuan said, "Today is seventeen. I asked Zhang Liang: "Why is Seventeen still fighting?" Zhang Liang said: "They usually have to play eighty-one laps, usually two days to finish, today Zuo Xianren continued to sit in the village, so they fought for so long." I said, "Then these people will start again after a few more days?" Zhang Liang nodded and whispered to me: "Actually, they usually play mahjong, and nothing else." β
I sighed and said, "These old guys are still a little bit out of business." At this time, Zuo Citou didn't go back and said while touching the cards: "Little San'er, you take them to rest first, and then go when I finish this round." Zhang Liang arched his hand at Zuo Ci's back and said, "Yes." "Pull us both and go inside.
After passing through a beautifully carved corridor, we came to a large open-air courtyard, not so much a courtyard as a garden larger than the one just now. This scene is extremely strange, the ground is full of birds and flowers, and the mountains are full of snow. In the middle of this garden there is a two-storey all-wooden villa with an exterior faΓ§ade, why is it called a villa? Because this is very similar to our modern villas, except for the floor-to-ceiling glass windows with paper, it is almost like a luxury villa.
I pointed to the villa and asked, "This house..?" Zhang Liang smiled and said, "I guessed you would be surprised." I was stunned when I first came to this building, and it was different from the houses we usually saw. I said, "Ah, yes." It's so much in our style. This was built by your master? Zhang Liang said: "No, it was built by someone from your side." Then he smiled at me, with an expression that I knew it all.
Only then did I realize that there were more than 70 people in front of me. It turns out that there are talents in this area, I thought it was all slings, uh~ except for me! As we walked into the villa, we were greeted by a large fireplace on the opposite side, a circle of sofas next to it, and a black carved coffee table in the middle. On the right is a large long table and dozens of chairs, all the furniture and decoration are in authentic European style, resplendent gold. At first glance, the goods that decorate this house are professional in interior decoration.
A spiral staircase on the left goes up to the second floor, and the large floor-to-ceiling windows on the right are just the paper pasted on them. Directly opposite several bedrooms and guest rooms, on the right is a large balcony. Looking down from the balcony, there was a swimming pool and tennis court, and I was also drunk.
After I walked up and down, Zhang Liang said, "Then let's go to the laboratory." "I'm not surprised, it's already like this, and I'm not surprised that you say there's a spaceship down there. I said, "I guess the basement is the lab." Zhang Liang was surprised: "How do you know?" I laughed and didn't speak. Follow Zhang Liang to the spiral staircase and walk down.
I said, "You don't hide it in this laboratory, just leave it like that?" Zhang Liang smiled and said, "What are you covering, except for the three of us, it's the master." If the master doesn't want us to see it, we can't see it. And the usual work and cultivation are all below. β
I wondered, "What do you usually do?" What are you doing? Zhang Liang smiled: "Even if we cultivate immortals, we have to eat, let's make pills below." On weekdays, we go out to sell some pills to make some money by treating people who are sick or something. I said, "Isn't that out of the way?" Ge Xuan next to him said, "Do you think that immortal cultivators eat soil?" If you don't eat or drink, how can you cultivate immortals. That's why I often say that cultivating immortals is not an easy task. β
I squinted at him, "You mean it's not easy to make money. Zhang Liang said: "It's all the same meaning." I said, "Your master won't change money or something?" Zhang Liang said: "Yes, it is your master who becomes the best for money." I sighed, "I've thought of it." β
Zhang Liang said: "We who cultivate immortals must eventually achieve positive results, and we can't do anything that violates our conscience in the middle. Isn't it a deception to spend the money you turn up, and it's easy to cause inflation! I said, "Damn, how many of you are cultivating immortals?" can cause inflation. As we spoke, we walked to a large house of more than 100 square meters. Outside the door, I could smell the strong smell of medicine.
I asked, "This is where you usually make counterfeit medicines?" Zhang Liang waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhongyou, you are laughing again." It's here, eldest brother, second brother, look who's coming. Then the first one pushed the door and went in. Ge Xuan and I also went in.
Two men in coats and masks walked towards us. Looking at the bottles and cans on this table and the two of them wearing white coats, I was really in a trance, if it weren't for the ancient hair and beard that they both combed after taking off their masks and hats, I almost believed that I would have gone back.
Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao walked over, one of them grabbed me by the arm and began to pat me on the shoulder, and I also smiled and greeted the two of them. Zhang Bao and I held my right hand without noticing, Zhang Jiao looked at me strangely and asked, "Zhongyou, why is your arm as unresponsive as noodles." Are you happy to see me? β
I hurriedly shook it with my right hand and said, "It's really not, it's because this arm is useless that I was deceived by that old man." Uh~ My master brought it here. With that, they both asked at the same time how they got it. I briefly talked to the three of them, and the three of them complimented me again.
I said, "Can we find a boring place to talk?" I'm throwing up. Zhang Jiao patted his head and smiled: "Ahaha, we are used to it, we haven't found it, come on." Let's go next door. Then we walked over to a lounge-like place and sat down to start greetings. After chatting for a while, the two of them continued to go back to work, Zhang Liang said, "I'll go and see how they are doing, you guys should rest first." After Zhang Liang left, I took out my cigarette pouch and lit it and smoked.
Ge Xuan said: "Their place is really good." I asked, "You haven't been here?" Ge Xuan nodded and said, "Well, it's my first time here." You stay here for a while, and I'll go see how they refine the pills." I smiled and said, "Go ahead, I don't think you can sit still." "Then Ge Xuan's expression on his face, you know me too well, got up and ran away, leaving me to stay here. After a while, I was bored, and I fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took for Zhang Liang to wake me up and say, "Brother Zhongyou, we can start." I asked in a daze, "What to start with?" Zhang Liang said, "I'll start treating you." I wiped my saliva and stood up and said, "Well, let's go." The two of us went back to the room that smelled of medicine just now.
At this time, I saw that Zuo Ci and his three card friends were there, and Zuo Ci said cheaply: "Come on." How do you want to cure it? I asked, confused, "Is there still a choice?" Zuo Ci smiled and said, "That's necessary, we have to have a responsible attitude towards the patient, and you are still my apprentice." β
I asked, "How can that be cured?" Zuo Ci said: "Old man Nanhua, come on." Nanhua Lao Xian said: "After the research of several of us, I like you currently have two methods, the first is pure medicine and the like, this treatment has no side effects, and there is no pain during the treatment. Before he could finish speaking, I said, "That's it." Zuo Ci hurriedly said: "What are you in a hurry, wait for him to finish." β
Nanhua Old Immortal said: "Oh, this is relatively slow, according to your current condition, you should be able to recover after twenty or thirty years of treatment." "I almost vomited a mouthful of blood when I heard this. I stared at Zuo Ci, and Zuo Ci said, "Look, I'll just say that he doesn't like this method." β
Nanhua Old Immortal sighed helplessly: "Then it can only be the second one, cut off your arm and replace it with another one." I said, "What?" Another one? How good is that? Do you think sewing clothes is what makes up for the bad? Zuo Ci said to me, "What are you talking about, listen to him." I quickly smiled awkwardly at Nanhua Old Immortal.
Nanhua Old Immortal waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll tell you about it now." First of all, I'm going to have to cut off all of your necrotic parts. Replace it with another arm. I'm good at repairing the meridians, plus my brother knows a little bit, which can keep you alive. But I can't guarantee it if it doesn't work. β
I asked, "What does it look like if it doesn't work out?" Zuo Ci smiled hesitantly: "If you don't succeed, you can only use your right hand in the future." "Looking at his expression, I don't want to be crooked. Nanhua Lao Xian added: "And your entire left shoulder will eventually collapse due to muscle atrophy." Well, I guess it won't look good in the future. "I've made up my mind for removing my shoulders and arms, so I might as well die.
I looked at Nanhua Lao Xian and said, "Then let's get the first one?" Zuo Ci immediately said: "Are you going to raise here for twenty or thirty years?" I said angrily, "Then the second one, come on." Your uncle's. You didn't want Lao Tzu to choose the first one. Zuo Ci said shyly: "Don't you have to go back?" I'm thinking about you, too. I said angrily, "Who got Lao Tzu here?" β
Zuo Ci said: "Uh~ You see, didn't I invite you all the top masters in the country?" I sighed and said, "Oh, it's all fate!" Let's just the second one. Love what's wrong. Nanhua Old Immortal said, "Okay, then you can come with me and choose an arm." β
I was stunned: "Anything else?" Nanhua Old Immortal said: "Then it is inevitable, you are the apprentice of Zuo Immortal, how can I treat you badly." "I followed Nanhua Lao Xian to a big stone, and this stone was like a sarcophagus. The old fairy of South China pushed open the lid on it, and it turned out to be a freezer. I looked inside, and there were more than a dozen arms neatly placed inside, and it was uncomfortable to look at. This isn't some kind of perverted movie.
I thought to myself, why is this old man so perverted, and he has a hobby of collecting arms. The old fairy Nanhua seemed to see what I was thinking, and said to me: "Except for my head, I have all kinds of arms and legs. I want to study the meridians of the human body, and sometimes I need something real. I said, "You have killed all this." Uh, collected. β
Nanhua Lao Immortal hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong. These were all given to me by volunteers, and some were from dead people. I got it with their consent. You see which one you think is right for you, and choose one. "The first time I chose the parts on my body, I felt so awkward. I pointed to a man with white skin and slender fingers and said, "That's it." β
Nanhua Lao Xian said embarrassedly: "This estimate is not suitable, right?" It's a woman's hand. I scratched my head in frustration and said, "That's it." As I spoke, I pointed to a thick arm. This time, Nanhua Lao Xian didn't speak, and Zhang Liang next to him whispered to me: "Brother Zhongyou, this is also the right arm." That's when I reflected.
I said to Nanhua Laoxian, "I don't know which one is better, so you can choose one." Nanhua Old Immortal nodded and was about to choose, but Zuo Ci next to him interjected: "Old Zhu, I remember that just now Nanhua Old Man said that all his parts were told to people before they came." Lao Zhu glared at Zuo Ci angrily and said, "Don't call me Lao Zhu, call me Brother Jianping!" Zuo Ci waved his hand and said, "Good, good, good!" β
Lao Zhu said: "Well, he did say so just now. Then Nanhua Old Immortal looked at us with an embarrassed expression. Zuo Cibei smiled: "There is such an arm, it seems that he has not been approved by the master. Uncle Yu next to him pointed to Nanhua Lao Xian and said, "Hey, don't you see that you are still a well-dressed beast?" Nanhua Old Immortal said angrily: "Beast, a chicken~uh~cough~cough~ That arm was found by me in a deep mountain." Where can I go to the Lord and ask him? β
Uncle Yu stroked his beard and said, "Then you can't say so sure." Not rigorous at all. How can you still cultivate this? Nanhua Old Immortal pointed at Zuo Ci and Uncle Yu helplessly and said, "You don't know anything. Zuo Ci and Uncle Yu spread their hands innocently and said, "Yes, we don't know anything!" Lao Zhu next to him said, "Then you can talk about it." β
Nanhua Old Immortal covered his face and glared at Zuo Ci, who shook his shoulders and smiled. Nanhua Old Immortal said, "Wait." Then he went out. After a while, he came back with a large crystal box. Inside was a swarthy arm.
I whispered to Zhang Liang, "Your master broke off the loach spirit's arm?" Zhang Liang couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. After Nanhua Laoxian glared at him, Zhang Liang hurriedly stood still. Nanhua Old Immortal put the big crystal box on the table and said, "This is it." And all the people went up and looked.
