Unlike the coastal cities of Daqian, Jihai County is much poorer and more backward than most inland cities.

The Great Liang Dynasty did not prosper in shipping, the sea trade was not prosperous, and the only economic source of the entire Jihai County was fishing, but because of the restrictions of transportation, the trade of this kind of fishing could not radiate to the distant counties at all, and it was self-sufficient at most, so how could it get rich.

When they were poor, they thought about change, so every family either went out to do business or did manual work to make ends meet.

Shen Liang went out to make a living in this context, fortunately, he was lucky, not only did he not encounter a strongman like most of his companions, or he lost all his money, but also made a lot of money because of the help of nobles, even if he lost a lot of goods in the inn at the beginning, he still made a great profit.

The first pot of gold in the early stage was enough for eight hundred taels of silver, and he had already sent the money back to his home, although he had to draw one percent of the money through this channel, but it was better to be safe, and at least seven hundred and twenty taels could fall into the hands of his family.

Don't underestimate these seven hundred and twenty taels, with the economic level of Jihai County, a medium-sized family may have an income of less than three hundred taels a year, and seven hundred taels of silver can already greatly improve the living conditions of the family.

That is, with the existence of this settling-in fee, although Shen Liang experienced many fears and despairs along the way, he felt that he was worry-free, and he was able to face some things calmly many times.

Of course, it is even more unexpected to be able to pick up a small life, and even every time I think of this, I am grateful to the departed Qianying and the person in front of me.

"Immortal Master, after Lu Jiufang in front, under the big locust tree is my home, I am really grateful to the Immortal Master for supporting me all the way. ”

"It's okay," Chen An waved his hand and said with a sanctimonious look: "Walking together is fate, and sending you back should be the right thing." ”

"Immortal Master Gaoyi," Shen Liang was solemnly respected, bowed down and said: "It's not a secret, in fact, this time I went out to do business and made a lot of money, in addition to the lost goods and the silver money sent home, there are three yellow croakers on the lower body, but they were sewn to death in the underwear, and when I got home, I found a convenient place to pick it up, and gave it to the Immortal Master and Han Fairy to thank the two for saving their lives." ”

Chen An glanced at him in surprise, and said in his heart This guy is very good at being a man, with the calculation method of this world, a yellow croaker is at least seven or eight taels, and three are almost more than two thousand taels of silver, which is two hundred thousand yuan. Such a large sum of money is said not to be, this guy is not small. It seems that it is not for nothing that he went out and made such a fortune this time.

But Chen An really didn't look at this money, in this world and even Daqian gold and silver are currency, but in the Eastern Wilderness, gold and silver are no different from stones, why does he want so much gold and silver.

So his face remained unchanged and he maintained the image of the master and said: "Shen Jushi's intentions, I and my senior sister have understood it, but the yellow and white things are useless to us, and I ask the layman to put it away, and I may have something to rely on in the future." ”

Before Shen Liang could sigh at the high wind and brightness of the immortal master in front of him, he was attracted by his last sentence, and said suspiciously: "What does the immortal master mean?"

Hooked.

Chen An revisited the plan in his mind, and asked rhetorically, "How do you feel about what you have seen and heard along the way?"

Shen Liang was stunned, and immediately recalled what he had seen and heard along the way, and in his heart, he bowed down and asked for help in a trembling voice: "The world is in chaos, demons are raging, and I ask the immortal master to teach me how to deal with myself." ”

Chen An said with a smile: "The layman has already made up his mind in his heart, so why do you need to ask me." ”

Shen Liang's face was complicated, and he gritted his teeth for a while and said: "Immortal Master Xie pointed out, this trip home will be sold for money, and he will flee to the south with his family, and he will not come back until the demon rebellion is extinguished." ”

"A layman is a man of great courage. ”

Chen An's words are sincere.

A trip that is just going to go is chic to say, but in fact, there are a few people who can make up their minds, let alone this kind of escape that may never come back.

At this time, transportation is inconvenient, materials are scarce, and unprepared migrants are likely to die on the road. This is also the reason why every time a disaster comes, there are still so many people who stick to their family business and do not leave, whether they can leave or not, they are dead, and they still have to do that hard work.

Although everyone in the world knows the truth that trees move the dead and the living, there are very few people who really have the courage to move them. For those who are not personally experienced, it is really difficult to understand the bitterness carried by the phrase "homeland is hard to leave". With Chen An's ability, didn't he want to stay in Pingzegou and was reluctant to leave, if it weren't for the fire of the Guanghan Gao family, he might still be living in that poor ravine now. Of course, this also excludes the problem of tampering with the trajectory of one's own destiny.

"In fact, lay people don't need to be too afraid, maybe they can learn some skills and use them on the road, and the road ahead may not be unpredictable. ”

Chen An's eyes flickered, and he slowly said his true intention, and he had been laying the groundwork for so long just for this sentence.

Shen Liang said with a look of surprise: "The skill of the body?"

He didn't know the changes in his body, these days, he just felt a little unwell, his body was always unable to lift up, and there were some six gods without a master of panic. In his opinion, it was only the first time he had come into contact with these things that the gods and gods were talking about, and he was stimulated by some stimulus, and it would be good to really return to the world and return to the family, so he didn't hear the deep meaning of Chen An's words.

"Didn't the layman still ask Senior Sister Han about cultivating immortals?"

Hearing Chen An's old story revisited, Shen Liang couldn't help but be stunned, some light flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting and bleak.

"That's just a joke, Shen knows his own family affairs, and he has been a little rich and safe since he was a child, and he feels satisfied when he guards the door, and he really doesn't dare to spy on the fairy road. ”

He said this, but in his heart he thought about it differently, this fight all the way made him palpitate, worried, and afraid, so he was a little shy away from what he once longed for.

Chen An was a little surprised, but it was reasonable to think about it carefully, where had Dou Sheng Xiaomin seen the tragedy of the immortal and demon fighting method, and it was normal to be frightened by that scene.

He didn't persuade again, otherwise he would be a little anxious, so he changed his words and said: "Also, the immortal road is ethereal, it is difficult to guess, like me and others who have cultivated for many years and have not seen the path of immortality, what they covet is just some powerful spells, in order to be able to earn their lives in this turbid world, the layman can see through it at a glance, and it can't help but make my generation embarrassed." ”

Shen Liang was stunned, he was just a little afraid because of the thrilling of this journey, and he instinctively wanted to stay away from this right and wrong. But Chen An's words reminded him that now that the turbid world is turbulent and the world is in chaos, where can he hide?

It is conceivable that even if he has the courage to give up the industry in Jihai County and flee to the south, it will not be peaceful on the way. Even if he takes 10,000 steps back, even if he is allowed to flee to the south with his family, this person is unfamiliar with the place, how long can he live in peace with the three yellow croakers in his pocket.

In life, the person who depends on it is only his own strength, and only when he is strong can he protect himself and the people he wants to protect, blindly avoiding and retreating, and death is only a matter of time.

After a long time of accidents, of course he could understand Chen An's original meaning, although he didn't understand how this immortal master could be blue-eyed to himself, but it was a rare opportunity, where could he get such an opportunity on weekdays, ninety percent of them still relied on the blessing of the demon troubled times.

But he had rejected it completely just now, but now it was not easy to talk back, and Shen Liang's face turned red for a while.

Chen An pretended not to see his embarrassment, and continued to stimulate him as if chatting as he walked: "By the way, I remember that Shen Jushi still has his wife Gao Tang at home, I don't know if Ling Tang is long-lived? ”

"The immortal master is gracious, Shen really doesn't know what to say. ”

Shen Liang said politely in embarrassment, and after a moment of entanglement, he couldn't help but say, "Does the immortal master have the qualifications to cultivate?"

"Of course," Chen An didn't seem to understand the meaning of Shen Liang's words at all, and said bluntly: "The layman is extremely talented, full of wisdom, and is born with good materials for cultivation, but because he is too old to delay, he may have shortcomings with the immortal path, but as long as he is willing to work hard, there is no harm in practicing the ability to eliminate demons and defend the Dao." ”

Of course, this is all, Chen An has been observing him all the way, and found that his only advantage is that he has fewer distracting thoughts, is not greedy, although he is well versed in accidents, but he is simple and sincere, so after all, he was not disturbed by evil spirits, and his mind was completely reduced to a demon. However, his body has been completely polluted by evil qi, and he has some extraordinary characteristics, and the immortal method and immortal recipe will be extremely fast, and it may be too much to say that he is a genius in cultivating immortals, but it is not wrong to say that he has good qualifications for cultivating immortals.

After speaking, Chen An shook his head again and sighed: "However, the ambition of the layman is not here, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced." ”

"It's true, it takes a lot of money to cultivate, and you may not be able to gain anything, and the final Dao fruit also depends on personal creation, it is not as good as a red dust, and the wisdom of the layman is deeply rooted, admire and admire. ”

He was talking to himself here, but it made Shen Liang anxious enough, and it was easy for him to stop, and then he said: "Actually, Shen has been longing for the monk of the Demon Elimination Guardian Dao since he was a child, but he is afraid that his qualifications are dull and he is ashamed of the expectations of the immortal master, if yes, uh, if it is ......."

Shen Liang didn't have a reason for "if" for a long time, but Chen An could see what he was thinking.

At his age, he has long since extinguished the idea of immortality, and he has also passed the time when he is brave and ruthless, and he just wants to practice a trick and a half to protect his family. At this time, Chen An revealed the intention of teaching the Fa, of course he was happy, but he was afraid that he would be arrested and become a strong man of the Daomen, so he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Shen Jushi doesn't need to be presumptuous, we have our own way to test our talents. In fact, this time it was also abrupt, but seeing the rivers and mountains falling, and the Taoist gate decadent, I couldn't help but worry, and I wanted to leave a piece of foreign biography, if he changed day by day, there could still be a piece of incense that could be circulated, so as not to make the righteous path extinct. ”

Chen An looked sad, but Shen Liang was in awe, and immediately said with some excitement and shame: "The immortal master is noble, but it is the heart of a villain Shen, if the immortal master does not give up, Shen is willing to worship under the immortal master, shoulder the heavy responsibility of inheriting the incense, and leave the fire for the Daomen." ”

said that he didn't care that it was on the street, and bowed his head to Chen An.
