Chapter 1 [Half-Immortal Not Immortal!] 】
"Old man Liu, borrow a fire!" An old man wandering on the side of the road, wearing a big felt hat and holding a large cigarette stick in his hand, after loading the shredded tobacco, he was borrowing fire from another old man next to him, and added a sentence at the end: "I didn't bring a talisman when I went out today, but now it's okay, you have to take credit to eat steamed buns." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
His sentence "I didn't bring a charm when I went out" is the same as "I didn't bring money when I went out".
"Pounce!"
Old man Liu took out a piece of rune paper, and with a swipe in the air, a thumb-sized flame appeared at the top of the rune paper.
At the top of the rune paper, a flame rang out, just in time to ignite the large cigarette stick. Then Old Man Liu waved the rune paper again, and after the flames disappeared, the old man took the rune paper back into his arms. Old man Liu's movements were extremely skillful, his face was extremely natural, and his teeth full of blackened smoke seemed to prove that he had used a big cigarette stick to smoke for decades, and he had used this way to light the fire.
This scene is simply more practical than a lighter, and Su Shan, who was standing far away, felt endless turbulence in his heart.
In one day, Su Shan seemed to have lived for nothing for more than ten years. What he saw and heard in front of him subverted his worldview and outlook on life for more than ten years. Nowadays, the two old men on the street smoke cigarettes, and they use rune paper to light the fire, which is countless times more real than the so-called magic show.
As a strong supporter of atheism, Su Shan has to believe even if he doesn't believe it, and the world he is in now is definitely no longer the same world as before. If it weren't for the three words "Canglang City" written on the head of the city, which are traditional Chinese characters of the Eight Classics, Su Shan could barely distinguish the content of these three words, but I am afraid that he really wants to die.
He walked in a daze for most of the day, when the sun had sunk in the west, and the red clouds covered the horizon like fire.
And Su Shan kept sharpening his ears to listen to the people on the road, looking at the people and things around him, and gradually could tell that this was not a movie, nor was it an illusion, but he really came to a world that was completely different from before. There were people coming and going on the street, but Su Shan was the only one wearing a basketball uniform, standing among a group of ancient people wearing coarse cloth clothes and a bun wrapped around their heads, which was extremely eye-catching.
A gust of wind blew, and a few yellow leaves, sandwiching the fragrance of meat buns on the street stalls, followed the cold wind and blew onto Su Shan.
At this time, it was autumn, the leaves were beginning to wither, and Su Shan was wearing a basketball jersey and a shorts vest. At this time, he was blown by the wind, and the tip of his nose asked about the fragrance of steamed buns, and then he suddenly found that he had walked blankly for an afternoon, and at this moment the sun was setting, the temperature was getting cooler, and he had not eaten for half a day, and he had fallen into a state of hunger and cold.
It was only at this time that Su Shan suddenly discovered that when he came back to this strange world, he was helpless, and the things he had learned in school for more than ten years were not even of any use.
"Even if I get ten doctorates, to this day, it's not as important as a meat bun!"
Secretly laughing in his heart, Su Shan followed the fragrance in the wind and walked towards the steamed bun stall. Seeing a lot of passers-by on the street, they took out one or two small rune papers, bought three or four buns, and ate them hot. Su Shan could only stare dryly, his whole body, only in his wallet, dozens of yuan in banknotes, but looking at the form, it is estimated that the people of this era do not recognize this yuan. Moreover, when people buy steamed buns, they use rune paper, which subverts Su Shan's view of money again.
I thought to myself: "Could it be that the talisman paper that the two old men smoked and lit the fire is the banknotes of this world?" ”
With infinite curiosity and melancholy in his arms, Su Shan was attracted by the fragrance of the buns and walked towards the bun stall.
"Go and go, don't get in the way here if you don't have any money, get in the way of my business......"
Uncle Bun Stalls waved his hand at Su Shan fiercely, signaling him to stand far away, blocking the position of others selling steamed buns. Although Su Shan couldn't understand what he was saying, he could still understand the gestures, but he couldn't buy buns if he didn't have money, so he couldn't steal one and run. He was hungry and cold at this time, and he didn't have much strength on his body, if he wanted to steal the buns and run, he would definitely be caught by the uncle who sold the buns three or two times, and he would inevitably be beaten up.
It wasn't until a few baskets of steamed buns were almost sold that Su Shan stepped forward.
He held a five-cent coin in his hand and handed it to the uncle who sold steamed buns, and he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, not knowing if he would accept the five-cent coin. But Su Shan couldn't help it, he rummaged through his wallet and found this five-dime coin, which was made of brass, which looked a bit like a copper coin.
"Five hundred years ago, we didn't use copper coins in the Tang Kingdom, where did this weird copper coin come from? But the texture is good, I'll count two small charms for you. Come, these four buns are for you, eat them while they are hot and go home, Li Banxian in the east of the city calculated a hexagram and said that it would rain heavily tonight. He said it was going to rain, and there must be a rain coming. Uncle Baozi was afraid that Su Shan would be hot, so he deliberately wrapped four buns with a slightly withered lotus leaf and put them in Su Shan's hands.
Su Shan didn't know that this world was circulating as currency instead of gold and silver banknotes on runic paper.
A small symbol can buy two large meat buns, one medium symbol is equal to ten small symbols, and one large symbol is equal to ten medium symbols. The value of the big talisman is about 100 yuan. These three kinds of rune paper, which are used as currency circulation, are specially made and are difficult to imitate, and it is easier to eliminate counterfeit banknotes than the renminbi.
With four buns in hand, Su Shan didn't care about anything else, so he immediately took the buns and bit them down, swallowing them in a big gulp.
"Little brother, slow down, be careful of choking!"
When Uncle Baozi saw Su Shan's eating appearance, he was yelling at him to slow down.
Su Shan is so hungry, how many people who grew up in his time were really hungry? I haven't eaten for half a day today, and I really feel the hunger taste of my chest against my back, and a bun was eaten by him in a blink of an eye, and when the uncle who sold the bun said, "Be careful of choking", he really choked.
Covering his throat fiercely, he couldn't take a breath, and Su Shan's face turned red.
Immediately, other enthusiastic passers-by spread out their palms and slapped him a few times on his back and shoulder, wanting to use the power of that tap to make Su Shan spit out the buns.
But this bun is really stuck in Su Shan's throat, up and down, blocking the trachea, if you can't find a way, just a few more moments, Su Shan will definitely die.
"Look...... Li Banxian! Li Banxian! ”
A group of people surrounded Su Shan, and a few people standing outside the crowd suddenly shouted loudly, they had to rejoice first, as if that Li Banxian appeared, and Su Shan could be saved.
"There is a young offspring here, choking on eating buns, I can't go up or down, Li Banxian, you save him quickly, whether it is successful or not, Wang Erhei will bring you a pot of Sanle pulp to the door as a thank you gift." Sanle pulp is not cheap, it is the kind of celadon bottle of two taels and one pot, and you have to buy three large talismans, which is really worth a penny.
Wang Erhei gave a thank you gift for a pot of three pulp, not only because his mind is simple, but also because he is a real person who sells steamed buns and eats by hand. What's more, because Su Shan was choked on his steamed bun stall and ate a big bun, if he really died, the government would naturally not blame him for being impartial, but his steamed bun shop would not want to open it again.
At this time, people like to talk about a good luck, this bun has eaten the dead, even if it is not poisonous, it is easy to eat.
"A pot of three pulp, it's decided!"
Li Banxian held a long banner with the words "Iron Mouth Divine Break" written on it, his steps were very brisk, and he walked to Su Shan's side, this person turned out to be a fortune teller!
I saw Li Banxian ask for an empty rice bowl from Wang Erhei, the owner of the steamed bun shop, and then ask for a chopstick. Hold the empty bowl in your hand and stir it gently with chopsticks, saying something in your mouth.
Suddenly, the empty bowl was like a fountain, bubbling with clear water.
"Take water from an empty bowl!"
Everyone here are ordinary people, ordinary people have seen this scene, and someone immediately shouted: "This Li Banxian really has a bit of Taoism, and water is coming out of this clean and slippery bowl, it is the true Fa, the real supernatural power!" ”
"Don't praise him yet, let's see if he can save this future life. If it can't be saved, the water in this bowl is just a trick to blind the eyes, and it is not an immortal magic, so it can only deceive our ordinary people. Some of them were more delicate, but at first they thought of Su Shan, whose face was red and purple, and who had fallen to the ground and his body began to tremble.
Hum!
Li Banxian's three strands of slender beard, shook it gently, and no matter what the people around him said, he pinched Su Shan's nose with one hand, and poured the water from the bowl into Su Shan's mouth with the other hand.
cough cough cough ......
After a while, the turbid water was spurted out of his mouth, and Su Shan felt that his throat was unobstructed, and the large bun blocking the trachea was dissolved by a stream of water.
His face slowly returned to normal, and his breath slowly smoothed out.
Lying on the ground with his back to the sky, Su Shan almost choked to death just now, a bead of sweat appeared on his forehead, his mind was spinning, and he remembered the method of Li Banxian just now. This man can use a chopstick to pound a few times, and he can empty a bowl of raw water, and after a bowl of water is poured, the bun that blocked his throat is turned into turbid water, and after it is squirted, he can save his life.
"Could it be that this Li Banxian is an immortal?"
Just thinking about this, Su Shan got up from the ground, bowed down in front of Li Banxian according to the apprenticeship scene he thought of in his heart, and said loudly: "Immortals, please accept me as an apprentice!" ”
