Thinking of this, I took out this invitation, which was given to me by Master Ge, and according to his ability and status in the circle, it would be easier to get such an invitation.

The invitation does not have a specific name, just like a token in the rivers and lakes, sent out, it is to recognize things and not people, take this invitation to go, you will get some preferential and convenient in the market, what is the specific, each session is different, so Master Liu did not say in detail.

In addition to some rules, attached to the invitation is a map of the neighborhood, a map to the big city! Unlike the ghost market, which is constantly changing locations, the location of the big city has always been fixed in the no-man's land of this X province.

But there are often mysterious events happening in this no-man's land, and according to the Tibetan driver, this is a place where gods and demons coexist, so don't say that with a map, even with the most advanced equipment, you will still get lost here or have accidents.

With this invitation, you only need to go to a certain place, and someone will answer and lead you to the big market, if you don't have it, you can only go by yourself, in fact, over the years, just this point, it has also damaged some cultivators.

This makes me worry about my brothers and sisters, will they go to the city smoothly? Master Liu just said their itinerary, not that they were already there.

With such worries, I walked all the way, from the afternoon to the evening, and there was no road for a long time, and I was only faced with the vast uninhabited prairie and the continuous snow-capped mountains

There is no specific road, everything depends on that beautiful map that is still detailed, but I walked in it, it was hard to believe that there was a place for cultivators to trade here, and it was a fixed place for trading!

There was no way to rush at night, but I was already here, so I was not in a hurry for a day or two, and on the way to this no-man's land, I also followed the driver's advice and bought some necessary things, such as fire tools and single tents, and I was ready to spend the night here.

A bonfire was lit in the night, and the light of the fire always brought hope, even though it was in this no-man's land, which seemed incomparably empty.

I drank hot water, nibbled on dry food, and wondered what it would be tomorrow to get to the so-called junction point, where the repairer who was driving there had to stop and walk.

Unexpectedly, in this dark world, in just one hour, there were many bonfires lit up with stars, more than a dozen, which seemed so heartwarming.

Those cultivators who should also be cultivators, like me, went to participate in the big market, but I didn't expect that the big city had been officially held, and there were so many cultivators rushing to the city one after another, what was the attraction of this big city?

The nearest bonfire was about two miles away from me, but I didn't rush to say hello or anything, I don't know if it was my delusion, but I always felt that the cultivators here were a little indifferent, and they were not affectionate to each other.

Just as I had finished eating dry food, drank hot water, washed up briefly, and was about to go to the tent to rest, a voice came to my ears from afar: "That brother, can you kindly give me a mouthful of hot water, so that I can spend the night by the fire?" Otherwise, I'll die of cold. ”

I was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked around, and then through the firelight, I saw that more than a hundred meters in front of me, there was a figure walking towards me.

"That's what I'm calling you, brother, is that okay?" There was a voice full of longing and anticipation, and a little bit of supplication.

"Come on." I was silent for a few seconds, and finally responded.

Although I am in danger, I should be on guard against many people and things, but I can't refuse in the end, I always think of the night I climbed the cliff, I saw the hope and warmth brought to me by a straw hut, I feel that no matter what the reason, I should not refuse the goodness in my heart, even if sometimes the results are not good, I should not!

Kindness is always the source of a person's inner calmness, such a person has actually completed a beautiful practice unconsciously, even if he can't get results for a while, what does it matter? Moreover, true goodness is only goodness itself, without seeking results and without thinking of reciprocation.

This is the answer Master gave me when I was a child, when I asked why sometimes good things are not rewarded.

The man was visibly happy to get my promise, and even walked a little briskly towards me, and trotted up.

Two minutes later, he was at my fire.

I looked at the visitor, it was a young man, who looked to be in his mid-20s, a little short, but still beautiful.

This makes me a little surprised, I didn't expect someone in their 20s, dare to come alone to participate in the big city in no man's land, thinking of me in my 20s and still a little ignorant, in contrast, it seems that this young man is not simple.

"Big brother, you're so good, I've asked several groups of people, but they all refused, why is the current cultivator circle so indifferent." As soon as this man arrived at the fire, he couldn't wait to stretch out his hand to bake the fire and talk to me affectionately, as if he was a self-cooked.

I set up the pot again at the volcano, boiled hot water, took out the dry food and handed it to him.

Help people to the end, a cup of hot water, a little dry food, I will not be stingy.

"Thank you, big brother, you are really good, really" The young man had a grateful expression on his face, reached out and took the dry food I handed him, and devoured it.

I didn't speak, quietly waited for him to finish eating, and then asked, "Are you also a cultivator?" How did you get to do this? ”

We don't have to verify each other's identities, real cultivators can see each other at a glance, and even sense it, I just wonder how he could fall into this appearance without any preparation? Don't you know that the big city is in a no-man's land?

The young man poured a cup of hot water, held it in the palm of his hand, and when he heard me ask about it, a sad look appeared on his face, and he said, "Big brother, this is a long story. I'm a casual cultivator, and I don't have a sect to rely on, I've been with my master and a senior brother since I was a child, and since I knew about the existence of this big city, I've always wanted to come and see, you know, as a cultivator, I'm always eager for some opportunities. ”

I lit a cigarette, and I could understand what he said, after all, what cultivator wasn't like that? In addition to our wonderful Lao Li Yimai, he seems to care more about the various fetters of feelings in this world, and he didn't want to have any positive results

"But big brother, you also know that the days of casual cultivation are difficult to mix, and now in this world, there is no money to talk about cultivation, not to mention that our masters and apprentices rely on just a small Taoist temple. This time, I came out with the money that Master and my brother had pooled, I couldn't afford to rent a car, I walked all the way here, and I didn't have much to prepare. The young man's face was bitter.

I was also a little embarrassed to see it, what he said was the reality, if it wasn't for Master Ge to support me with some money, and I didn't sell medicinal materials, it was probably the same situation as him, anyway, it wasn't much better than him, whether I could get here or not is two words.

"Are you gone?" I asked, but I was actually more confused in my heart, and it was said that it should still be possible to make a fire.

"I don't have the strength to make a fire, I've been hungry all day, even if I make a fire, I don't have anything in my stomach, I have to die of cold, right?" The young man's face was bitter again.

I didn't ask any more questions, after all, the bitterness of others has been inquiring, and it is a very bad thing to use it to set off my own superiority feeling.

In silence, I handed the young man a cigarette, but he sternly rejected me and preached to me: "Big brother, we are cultivators, and we should live in a regular and controlled manner, which is the basic basic, unless we are not dedicated to the Great Dao. Big brother, don't smoke this cigarette, even if the avenue is slim, what you have pursued and what you have not pursued are always the same, and there is hope only when you pursue it. ”

I smiled and was noncommittal, my master had always taught me how to be a human being, how to follow the right path that a cultivator should take, but he didn't teach me, I should pursue the result of a great path, I didn't have the slightest paranoia about this, of course, I wouldn't refute that young cultivator.

After chatting with him casually, I was already sleepy, after all, it was quite difficult to run around for a day.

"I'll go to sleep first, you wake me up in the second half of the night, we take turns keeping vigil, it's not easy for you after all." I greeted the young cultivator like this.

He immediately showed a grateful expression on his face, promised again and again, and said, "Big brother, there is not much way left, you just take me, right?" I really just wanted to check it out. ”

"Hmm." I replied simply, and went into the tent, agreeing naturally, not wanting to think that I was giving him a favor or something.

Night, quiet.

In the tent, I quickly fell asleep, until a bone-chilling coldness enveloped me, and then the roar of a silly tiger woke me up
