The mountain monk said, it is not too late to become an immortal, and the fire must be busy. Vertex [Song] Liu Chenweng "Qinyuan Spring Laughter Gongsheng Madness"

Although it is already the 21st century, there are still many people who have the beautiful vision of cultivating and becoming immortals, and they squander their money and energy, and even their lives.

Therefore, the incense of those Taoist temples on Qingcheng Mountain has always burned very strongly, and it seems that there is no worry at all, in case of a fire one day, the entire Qingcheng Mountain will be burned down, and the Taoist temple will move to the place, maybe it will go to Mount Emei to crowd, after all, the Buddha and Taoism are pro!

Originally, Taoism pursued the incarnation and maintenance of all things with a quiet nature, cultivating one's self and cultivating oneness with the natural world.

Nowadays, however, monasticism seems to have become a way to get closer to the gods. Many believers cultivate the Tao not for self-cultivation, but for the purpose of becoming immortals and living a long life.

For example, this old man in the sixtieth century, who knelt down in front of the statue of Taishang Laojun and chanted words in his mouth, was a devout disciple who believed that cultivation could become an immortal.

This old man's surname is Zhang, 63 years old this year, and he is a retired veteran cadre (not an old cadre like Huo Jianhua and Jin Dong). The body is quite tough, except for a little high blood sugar and high blood pressure and other geriatric diseases, there are no other major diseases.

It stands to reason that an old man like him, who has a high pension and is in good health, should live a leisurely life of raising flowers, raising flowers and grass, and teasing his children and grandchildren.

It's a pity that he is not uncommon to this kind of sunset time for ordinary old people, but he is bent on seeking the Tao, hoping that one day he can fly into the sky and become an immortal, like Chang'e, wave his sleeves and not take away a cloud.

Therefore, from the previous time to come to the "Star Monarch Pavilion" once a month, it has been changed to come once a week. If it weren't for his family to stop him, it is estimated that he would live directly in the "Star Monarch Pavilion".

Every time he came back here, he would give a lot of incense money in exchange for the cultivation elixir of the "Star Monarch Pavilion" Dao Leader Guang Huizi.

"Dao Chief, I've eaten eight of them, why don't I feel anything?" Lao Zhang took the ninth Immortal Cultivation Pill that he had exchanged for at a high price and looked at Guang Huizi.

"The first eight pills are just auxiliaries, when you finish taking this ninth pill, you will inevitably feel the changes in your body. Guang Huizi said it very sincerely, so sincere that even he couldn't help but believe it.

"Okay, okay!" Lao Zhang nodded, and put the pill that was as black as a big boogie into a silk-covered flannel box like a baby.

After seeing Lao Zhang leave, Guang Huizi wiped the sweat soaked from his forehead and walked quickly towards the inner hall.

"Immortal Gu, is the pill really useful this time?" Guang Huizi shouted inside as soon as he entered the door.

I saw that a beautiful girl wearing a white Taoist robe and combing half a ball turned around and said to Guang Huizi, "You don't believe me?"

As soon as he spoke, his voice was as clear and beautiful as a stream.

"Believe! I believe in Immortal Gu!" Guang Huizi hurriedly said.

In fact, Guang Huizi is not the Taoist leader of the "Xingjun Pavilion", he is just the eldest apprentice of the original Taoist Guangmingzi.

Soon after this Daoist aunt named Jurchen came to the "Xingjun Pavilion", Guangming Zi suddenly died violently, and left a suicide note, passing the "Xingjun Pavilion" to the Jurchens.

However, the Jurchen said that he didn't want to be the Taoist leader, and only helped manage the affairs of the Taoist temple behind his back, and the position of Taoist chief was still held by Guang Huizi, Guang Mingzi's eldest apprentice.

Guang Huizi is naturally eager to take over the position of Dao Chief, so that he can sell fake medicines in the bright land.

Yes, his so-called elixir for cultivating immortals is actually the Black Chicken White Phoenix Pill.

He relied on this to make money for a long time, and after being discovered by Guangmingzi, he was banned and punished to take care of the back hall, and no longer let him appear in the main hall of the Taoist temple.

Later, after the Jurchen took over the "Xingjun Pavilion", she didn't know where she heard about Guang Huizi selling fake medicines, so she found him and asked him to continue selling, but she wanted to add some ingredients to the medicine to turn the fake medicine into real medicine.

Therefore, when Guang Huizi returned to his old business, the Jurchens began to add ingredients to those black chicken and white phoenix pills, but as for the additions

What it is, Guanghuizi is not clear.

In addition to Lao Zhang, there are many believers who come to buy pills, men and women, old and young, and they are all now eating black chicken and white phoenix pills with Jurchen ingredients.

It may be a psychological effect, or it may be that the Jurchen material is really good, and many believers say that they seem to feel closer to the gods.

Seeing that the two of them were ruddy and in good spirits, even Guang Huizi couldn't help but want to try this elixir, but he was stopped by the Jurchens, saying that if he ate it, he would not become an immortal, but a demon.

Guang Huizi didn't understand why he would be different from others after eating, but he didn't dare not believe what Nuzhen said.

After returning home, Lao Zhang carefully took out the pill and then took it with warm water.

"Hmm... After eating it, I instantly felt refreshed. Lao Zhang muttered to himself.

Seeing Lao Zhang's intoxicated appearance, Lao Zhang's wife, Lao Wen, couldn't help but glance at him.

Although the family is relatively solid, it can't withstand Lao Zhang's tossing three or four times!

Every time he went to the "Xingjun Pavilion", Lao Zhang had to give seven or eight hundred incense money. However, compared to this elixir like a black chicken and white phoenix pill, that little incense money is nothing at all. Because, just such an elixir like a black nose, it actually costs 10,000 pieces.

Lao Li felt that Lao Zhang was crazy.

However, Lao Li didn't bother to care about him, anyway, he just kept his part of the pension money and coffin money. As for Lao Zhang's money, let him toss around.

At night, Lao Zhang fell asleep early, and went up an hour earlier than Lao Li, so he wanted to maintain his health.

After all, after being in the "Xingjun Pavilion" for so long, I still learned a lot of Taoist health regimens.

When Lao Li finished washing up and returned to the bedroom, he heard Lao Zhang muttering there.

"What's wrong?" Lao Li walked over, thinking that Lao Zhang was talking to him.

However, except for Lao Zhang's mouth squirming, the whole person was in a state of deep sleep.

"This is a dream!" Lao Li smiled and went to bed.

The sky was just slightly bright, and before even the morning light spilled into the room, Lao Zhang suddenly opened his eyes.

"I... I seem to have a feeling!" Lao Zhang said excitedly, and jumped up.

With a bang, he jumped out of bed and ran to the toilet to look in the mirror.

"What are you doing!" Lao Li grunted dissatisfiedly after being woken up, and went back to sleep.

"Huh... It doesn't look the same! The hair is still so white, and the wrinkles are still so much. Lao Zhang looked at himself in the mirror with a little disappointment.

"Old Zhangtou, don't look at it, it's still as handsome as before!" Suddenly, the voice I heard in my dream last night came out of my ears again.

"Who? Where are you?" Lao Zhang looked around and found that there was no one else but himself.

"I'm the little fairy who helped you become an immortal, in your ears!" the voice in the ear reappeared.

"Really, then when can I become an immortal?" asked Lao Zhang excitedly, and pointed his ear to the mirror, wanting to see if there was really some little immortal living inside.

"The little fairy doesn't lie, you just wait to become an immortal!" the little fairy said.

Lao Zhang found that with the naked eye alone, he didn't seem to be able to see anything in his ears, but in order to prove that he was not hallucinating, Lao Zhang found a magnifying glass.

When he looked at the ear piercing in the mirror with a magnifying glass, he did see a gray-black shadow jumping in his left ear, but he didn't feel anything else, not even the slightest discomfort.

It seems that the elixir has worked, and I am really going to become an immortal!

Subsequently, Lao Zhang would hear the little fairy in his ears chattering with him from time to time.

"Lao Zhang, don't play this move, you will lose, go that one, yes, that's it. "When playing chess, the little fairy will give Lao Zhang instructions on how to play, and

After the guidance of the little fairy every time, Lao Zhang Zhun won.

Over time, Lao Zhang, who had mediocre chess skills, suddenly turned into a chess master in the circle.

"Little fairy, how do you know how to play chess?" Once, Lao Zhang asked curiously.

"I'm a little fairy, can there be anything that stumps me?" said the little fairy triumphantly.

"Yes, yes, what else can that little fairy do besides playing chess?" asked Lao Zhang again.

"It's too much!" said the little fairy confidently.

"That.. Will you gamble on stones?" asked Lao Zhang tentatively.

Recently, a wave of gambling stones has swept Banyan City, so that many people who have a little money and are interested in jade have participated.

However, gambling on stones and stones, of course, is important to the word "gambling". So, someone wins, someone loses. Of course, those who win do not become rich, and those who lose risk going bankrupt.

Although there may be beautiful jade hidden in it, it still can't make the act of gambling stones beautiful.

Lao Zhang has a few old colleagues who are playing this, but they are all small gamblers and are purely just having fun.

They also looked for Lao Zhang, but unfortunately Lao Zhang's money was spent on buying immortal medicine, and there was no more money to gamble on. Unless, take out his pension money and coffin book.

Now, with the little fairy, he decided to give it a try.

And the little fairy didn't disappoint him, there was a broken jade in a stone he gambled, although it wasn't worth a lot of money, but it was enough for Lao Zhang to return to his roots.

"Hahaha, little fairy, you are really an immortal!" After getting the broken jade, Lao Zhang said happily.

Since then, Lao Zhang no longer plays chess, nor does he raise flowers and birds, but all his thoughts are on gambling stones.

And the little fairy has never lived up to him, except for a few misses, almost all of them can bet, and once, they directly won a piece of jade and jasper with good color and luster.

With this piece of jasper, Lao Zhang decided to give Lao Li a pendant. Thinking that after he became an immortal, Lao Li left himself alone in the world, and he was still a little reluctant in his heart.

Therefore, in order to make up for the loneliness he left for Lao Li after flying, Lao Zhang would always buy Lao Li this and that, and gave Lao Li all the broken jade that he won by gambling stones, and asked her to wear a bracelet.

When Lao Li saw Lao Zhang handing her a jasper pendant, Lao Li asked with red eyes, "You say, are you raising a little fox spirit outside?"

"Huh?" Lao Zhang was asked inexplicably for a while, thinking to himself, the fox spirit really didn't raise it, but raised a little fairy in his ears.

"Isn't it because you have bought me so many things during this time because you have a guilty heart?" Lao Li said crying.

At the beginning, Lao Zhang bought her this and that, she was very happy, thinking that Lao Zhang finally stopped giving the money to the Taoist temple.

However, gradually, Lao Li found that Lao Zhang often muttered behind her back, saying that it was still hello, I really can't do without you, so Lao Li had to suspect that Lao Zhang was raising a mistress outside behind her back.

In addition, Lao Zhang has been away from home recently, and every time he goes out, he is in a hurry, and when he comes back, he looks like a spring breeze, which makes Lao Li even more suspicious, thinking that Lao Zhang is going to Xiao San for the second spring breeze.

"Well, of course not! I'm so old, how can I stand any vixens! But ah, I do have one thing to tell you, and I hope you don't blame me after hearing it. Lao Zhang said earnestly.

"What's wrong? Have you run out of money?" Lao Li touched his tears and asked, thinking, it's good that she didn't look for a fox spirit, even if she has no money, her part of her savings can be taken out and shared with Lao Zhang, after all, they are an old couple.

"No, I'm not short of money lately, I've been playing gambling stones lately and I've won a lot. But, though... I'm leaving you soon. Lao Zhang wanted to speak and stopped, not daring to look at Lao Li.

"Where are you going to leave me?" said Lao Li in surprise.

"Become an immortal, go to the heavenly realm. Lao Zhang said.
