Chapter 10: The Return (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Fighting with the sky is endlessly fun. Fighting with the ground, the fun is endless. Fighting with people is endlessly fun. β
Youzhou, Huangfu.
Huang Shang sat in the gazebo, drinking a little wine leisurely, enjoying a rare leisure time.
Since the local dragon clan rebellion was forcefully resolved, the heavenly court and the dragon clan have stopped, and now the development trend of the entire Youzhou is good, and it has gradually become the development center of the land of Yanyun.
Originally, he was mentally prepared to confront Heavenly Court, even if he was like Sun Monkey back then, he would not hesitate to be pressed under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years.
Unexpectedly, Heavenly Court and the Dragon Clan were both cowards, and they stopped with a little forceful means.
Just when Huang Shang thought that Heavenly Court was nothing remarkable, something unexpected happened.
"Excuse me, is it Huang Shang's family?"
Early this morning, a white-bearded old man wearing a Taoist robe called the door in front of the Huangfu Gate.
The bean soldier guarding the door asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? β
The old man smiled and said, "I am Tai Bai Xing, and I am here to invite Huang Shang to heaven to be an official by the will of the Jade Emperor." β
β¦β¦
"Heaven to be an official?"
Huang Shang looked at the Tai Bai Xing in front of him, with white hair and white beard, a cyan robe, holding a whisk in his hand, and a fairy wind bone, at first glance, he was a Dao Immortal.
"Exactly." Tai Bai Xing said with a smile: "It is really a great merit to let hundreds of people be fed and clothed and free from war by himself. His Majesty was very happy when he learned about it, so he sent Xiao Lao'er to the lower realm and invited him to go to Heaven as an official. β
Huang Shang smiled and said, "Thank you Jade Emperor for looking down on me as a mortal, but I enjoy glory and wealth in the world, which is better than being an official in heaven and being constrained by people." So this official won't do it, if the Jade Emperor has anything difficult to do in the world, I can help as much as I can. β
"This ......" Tai Bai Xing was stunned, it was the first time he had met a mortal immortal, but he bargained.
"Zunjia really doesn't want to be an immortal?" Tai Bai Xing couldn't help but ask: "Although the immortals are somewhat restrained, they can live forever, which is better than suffering from reincarnation in the earthly world." β
"Immortality is good, but I prefer wealth and glory." Huang Shang said: "What's more, I am also a cultivator, and my lifespan is much higher than that of ordinary people, even if I will be reincarnated, it will be thousands of years later, so why rush to become an immortal?" β
Tai Bai Xing was speechless.
"And." Huang Shang said: "I am cultivating in the earthly world, and I will be consummated in nine hundred years, and it will not be too late to ascend to immortality at that time." β
"Oh?" Tai Bai Xing's eyes lit up: "I don't know what kind of skill you cultivate?" How long would it take a thousand years? β
"The master is secretive, so it's inconvenient to say more." Huang Shang shook his head: "I hope Xingjun understands." β
"I see, little old man understands." Too platinum star 'suddenly', I don't know if I really understand?
After chatting for a while, Tai Bai Xing suddenly asked, "Don't you want to be the emperor of the world?" β
"The Emperor of the World?" Huang Shang shook his head: "There is no harm but no benefit." β
"That's what you said." Tai Bai Xing seemed to be relieved: "The emperor holds the authority of the first life, how can he compare to the immortal immortality and freedom." β
"That's what Xingjun said."
After a few pleasantries, Tai Baixing said goodbye and left.
Sending away Taibai Xingjun, Huang Shang smiled, he knew that the next nine hundred years would be stable.
As he expected, after nine hundred years, Heavenly Court never took care of his affairs again, and of course he didn't do too many things that touched Heavenly Court's nerves, and the two lived in peace for nine hundred years.
In the past 900 years, Huang Shang has worked as a cook, coolie, housekeeper, poet, painter, and has worked on the street, and has also begged for food on the street...... Taste all the ways of the world.
Angry, disappointed, painful, happy, a heart gradually calms down, in Taoist terms, the Tao heart becomes more and more complete.
Especially when he entered the world and practiced for 999 years, Bai Suzhen had an epiphany and became an immortal.
A few months later, Bai Suzhen went to the lower realm and told Huang Shang that she had become the god of marriage in the heavenly court, but she was only responsible for managing one place in Miaojiang, and the god of marriage in other places was still Yue Lao.
This made Huang Shang not know what to say, but since Bai Suzhen had become an immortal, it was also a matter of his heart.
It is better to become an immortal than to be a monster, at least in terms of life safety, it is the most reliable among the Three Realms, and for the sake of his face, Tai Bai Xing also takes a lot of care of Bai Suzhen, so that he will not be bullied in the heavenly court.
Bai Suzhen accompanied him in the world for three days, and then returned to Heaven again.
One day in the sky, one year on earth, Bai Suzhen will not feel separated for too long, and Huang Shang is not far from leaving this world, and they will not feel lonely because of this.
After Bai Suzhen returned to Heaven, Huang Shang continued to travel in the human world until this day.

ββ¦β¦β
Huang Shang took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
"You're such a cutie."
γβ¦β¦γ
Huang Shang did not choose to return immediately, but identified the direction and flew to Baoqingfang, a ginkgo grove outside Yong'an City.
The last time I was here was thirty years ago.
Walking into Baoqingfang, a twenty-eight beauty walked over, her demeanor had not changed from that year, and she was still so charming and seductive: "Yo~ Let me see, who is coming?" Isn't this the fiancΓ© I haven't seen in thirty years! β
Looking at Ah Jiu, who had grown up, Huang Shang smiled slightly and said, "It's been a thousand years, and it's still red with green, so you dare to wear it." β
"Yo? I've been wearing this for 4,000 years, what? Tired of watching? Ah Jiu pressed against him face to face, raised his left leg, hooked his waist, and said with a smile: "Do you want to take it off?" β
"Don't make a fuss."
Huang Shang slapped her buttocks with his big hand and said, "I still have one day, are you sure you want to waste time?" β
Ah Jiu smiled away: "The task is complete?" β
"Just done." Huang Shang asked, "It's been a thousand years, have you thought of a way?" β
Ah Jiu silently took a puff of cigarette, exhaled a breath of demonic breath, and said, "Originally, there was no way, but thinking of your ability, I have a way." β
"What am I capable of?"
"Not bad." Ah Jiu squinted and smiled: "Reincarnation." β
Huang Shang was thoughtful, but he was still a little unclear for a while: "How to do it?" β
"You take my soul first." Ah Jiu said, "Let my body fall into a state of death, and then put it in a ring, and when I go back, I will use reincarnation to transfer my soul into my body that I just died, and so on...... Maybe it does. β
Huang Shang frowned: "This will take a big risk, it is best to choose a newborn baby for reincarnation, a dead body ......"
"That's my own body." Ah Jiu said: "The fit must be higher than that of a newborn baby, and I have been cultivating for four thousand years, so I can't waste it in vain, right?" β
"It's too risky."
"It doesn't matter." Ah Jiu smiled and said, "It's a big deal to learn from those female ghosts you raised and turn to the ghost path." β
"......" Huang Shang was silent for a moment and said, "I think, you still have to wait for me ......"
"When you come back, are you still you?" Ah Jiu's expression was much more serious: "When the time comes, can you still look at a little monster who has cultivated for four thousand years?" β
"As long as you don't fail me, I won't fail you." Huang Shang's expression was equally serious: "Even if I become a Buddha and become an ancestor, I will not break my promise." β
Ah Jiu squinted and smiled, and kissed him lightly on the cheek: "You are so charming." β
"So you're still ......"
"So I must go with you." Ah Jiu looked at him with a smile: "I'm very curious about your original world, and even more curious about the world you will experience in the future, I don't want to wait, even if I can't return to my body, I won't wait." β
Ah Jiu's eyes sparkled with incomparable desire: "Huang Shang, take me away!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Huang Shang was silent for a moment and nodded: "Okay." β
Ah Jiu smiled like a flower and hugged him tightly.
ββ¦β¦ Do? β
"I'm afraid that I won't have a chance when I die."
"Are you going to be afraid of death, or are you going to ......"
"Nope! I'm more afraid that you won't take me away than death. I'm just trying to make up for it as much as I can, after all, you haven't tasted my body yet, have you? β
ββ¦β¦β
"It hurts!"
ββ¦β¦β
β¦β¦
White space.
[Congratulations on the return of the host, and now the rewards will be distributed.] γ
Huang Shang re-collected three rewards, and collected the dantian for the death talisman, and the reincarnation technique was directly slapped on his body, but the ginseng fruit was not eaten, but was collected into the ring.
Ginseng fruit is very precious, you can't just eat it, or take it back to your family to smell it, so that your family can live to be 360 years old, and it's not too late to eat it.
At the same time, Huang Shang's physical and mental state gradually changed back to the way he had just entered the world.
The Dao Heart that had been tempered for a thousand years still existed, but it was temporarily hidden, and when his cultivation and lifespan reached that realm in the future, the Dao Heart would return to its original state little by little.
Pay attention to the physical and mental state of the host, which is not found in other systems.
[The reward has been distributed, the system is about to be upgraded, please leave the space and return to reality.] γ
