Chapter 111: The Eater Takes Himself
The greyhound was stunned, the arrogance and conceit of the Terran officials, he had seen it, so he had already prepared in his heart.
After all, in his youth, he had also traveled in the Terran realm for decades.
What he didn't expect was that this person was so arrogant. Seeing that the god of the Xuantian clan did not kneel or say anything, he actually directly reported his name. Even if Xuan Zhongxing is in front of the emperor of the human race, the etiquette that should be observed still has to be observed, have you forgotten your identity as an envoy?
As the saying goes, each other is born from the heart, although this phrase is often used to refer to human beings. But it is more appropriate to use it on the greyhound at this time.
Xuan Zhongxing saw that the ancestral god actually bared his teeth, and he knew that it was not good, and it was the ability of this human race to be able to stimulate the side that did not belong to the ancestral god, and it was also his misfortune.
Xuan Zhongxing immediately stepped forward and said, "Ten seniors-"
"Call me the god of the clan!" the greyhound glared at Xuan Zhongxing, but he used the technique of sound transmission. I secretly thought that you are the head of the family, and you can't do such a little thing. There are only three of us in the entire hall, how can we show the momentum of my Xuantian clan? Another thought, even if those people have gone to Forget Worry Mountain, you can also go to the city to pull some old and young women and children to fill up the number.
Xuan Zhongxing's face was embarrassed, and he coughed lightly and said, "Lord Clan God, Lord Cheng is not here because of the order of Emperor Chengtian. β
"Huh?" Greyhound blinked, looking at Greyhound like a mortal. Seeing that Lu Ju's face was indifferent, he secretly praised it, and his heart was good.
Lu Ju bowed back and said: "Ten seniors, Lu Ju was originally a cloth cloth, and he had to be taken pity by Lord Murong, so he was able to get a job in the Xiongtu Pavilion and be whitewashedββ"
"Wait, are you talking about Murong Bei, that old horseman?" said Greyhound with a glaring eye at the dog.
He didn't mind the greyhound's rudeness, and the old man told him some little-known stories of the past before he set off. The old man said that as long as the god of the Xuantian clan was angry, it was the purpose of his trip. Although I didn't know why, I gladly agreed. But what made him inexplicable was that this clan god was easily angry, and he didn't seem to have anything to do with himself, and the words he had prepared in advance seemed to have no purpose. It is so good, it is not for nothing, it is not for merit, but it is for no fault.
He moved his steps forward an inch slightly, and said indifferently: "Exactly!"
"Hasn't he lived long enough?" Greyhound's eyes grew a little dazed.
He remembered that when he first entered the mortal world, his memory was damaged and his strength was low. If it weren't for the immortal blood in his body, his fate would be no different from that of mortals.
When I first entered Chengtian City, I thought that my opportunity was close at hand, but I suffered many hardships.
Those memories could only appear in his dreams now, and they were becoming more and more blurry.
One night, when the prime minister Murong rushed to the mansion, he met an assassin on the road, and he happily drew his sword to help. After the group of gangsters were killed and retreated, he was taken to Murong Fu's sedan chair.
An old man's kind voice came from the sedan chair, saying, "How old are you?"
"Nine years old. β
"Do you know what crime you should be guilty of holding a murder weapon and traveling to the capital at night?"
"I don't know if it's a little one, please teach it to you. β
"Hmm...... He who is wise and does not know is not guilty. After a long silence, the man in the sedan said: "I have a young son who is about the same age as you." Since childhood, would you like to be his companion?"
Huanran's stomach "gurgled", he touched his shriveled belly, and said, "The little one is willing, and please borrow me a meal first." β
The man in the sedan chair said: "A meal of wine and food, I will give you up, why bother to borrow?"
Huan Ran said: "Eater, take it yourself." β
The person in the sedan chair was still unfinished: "Go on." β
Huan Ran shook his head and said, "No." β
The sedan chair said: "Learn carefully, and use it with caution." What you said is from the "Tu Cheng Lu" written by Qiu Chi, a rebel general of the former dynasty. The eater in it means a traitor. In this Heavenly City, it's best not to talk nonsense, so as not to cause death. The year of hanging hair is the age of study. Then you will go back to my house, so that you will not wander in the streets, and disturb my heart. β
Huan Ran shook his head and said, "I also asked the adults to fulfill the meal appointment." β
The people in the sedan chair were interested and said, "Why do you have to fulfill the contract first?"
Huan Ran said: "In the name of all adults who do not deceive others!"
The man in the sedan said: "Oh? Who said that I don't deceive people? I don't deceive the good, the weak, or the common people, but I deceive the sky! Only by covering this day can the people of the world be at peace." β
Huan Ran said again: "Please also ask the adults to fulfill the contract." β
The person in the sedan chair said, "Do you have a name?"
"Little Huanran. β
"Okay, then I will give you the surname Murong, from today on, you will be my son Murong Huanran!" After speaking, the person in the sedan chair laughed.
The old attendant on the side came to Huan Ran's side and reminded in a low voice: "Don't kneel down and salute?"
Huan Ran shook his head and said, "Since I have no parents, I was born of heaven and earth. I only kneel to heaven and earth!"
The person in the sedan chair was breathing heavily, as if he was startled by this child's words. After a long time, he said slowly: "In that case, then you will be my adopted son." He seemed to be a little worried about the boy's refusal, so he said, "You are in Kyoto, so you will not need some care." β
"Happy thanksgiving to my father-in-law!" happily knelt down on his knees and bowed to worship.
The old attendant next to him stroked his beard and smiled, turned around and bowed to the sedan chair, and said loudly: "Congratulations to Xiangye, happy to have a righteous son!"
The guards on the side of the sedan chair knelt on the ground, and the voices of congratulations were endless.
The sedan curtain was lifted, and the old man who had never appeared appeared on the long street for the first time.
The old Xiangye sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that my Murong servant would come so early one day when he appeared in front of the world. I thought that when the world was peaceful and the people were happy, he would appear. I didn't expect to be happy with my righteous son today, maybe this is God's arrangement! From now on, I, Murong Servant, will come to the world in person, experience the suffering of the people, and understand the way of giving! Ran'er, come to my father-in-law!"
He took Huanran's shoulders and turned to the crowd: "This son is originally the son of heaven and earth, and it is naturally the will of heaven for the old man to meet Huanran! God has instructed the old man to do the rules of heaven and earth on his behalf, and the affection of the whole parent! The old man is ashamed, and can only use the tiles as his shelter, can only feed his stomach with vegetarian food, and can only give him the way of the smallest and all his benevolent heart. It is the blessing of the old man to be happy! The happiness of all the people! It is the blessing of the saints! The gift of heaven and earth!"
The old entourage responded: "Heaven and earth, the blessing of the world!"
The crowd answered and bowed to the south.
This south is the direction of worshipping the heavens and the direction of the imperial palace.
Huan Ran didn't understand this, he only knew that he was very hungry, but when he saw that the old man, who was going to be his father-in-law, also worshipped, he couldn't pull him up. Therefore, he can only watch, as if watching a Japanese drama.
Japanese opera is an open-air performance. The difference is that he can understand Japanese opera.
In Huanran's memory, the worship without incense offerings lasted for half an hour.
Eventually, he got his wish for a delicious meal.
He felt that he had never eaten such a delicious meal, never drunk such a wonderful elixir.
Even now that he has become a god, he misses that meal. Xuan Zhongxing searched for cooks throughout Xuantian City, but they couldn't make that taste.
As a result, he could only experience the taste of the meal in his memories.
Sometimes, the greyhound doesn't understand his emotions either, because he always has the urge to cry when he thinks about the meal.
Murong Bei is the youngest son that Murong Servant said.
Although he is the same age as Huanran, he looks a year or two older than Huanran. Perhaps because he was a picky eater, he was dark and thin, like a stunted monkey.
In Huan Ran's opinion, Murong Bei is a brainless second son, who spends his days idle and idle. It was both a blessing and a misfortune to be his companion. Fortunately, he could get great benefits from Murong Bei's fox friends and dogs, which was his unspeakable primitive accumulation. Unfortunately, he had to be ruthless in helping him do all the bad things, and he couldn't let things get out of his way and avoid his conscience being upset.
Until he was twelve years old, Murong Bei couldn't even memorize one of the treatises in the "Nine Treatises on Shuzi", which made him unable to lift up his companion in front of his father-in-law. But his ability to never forget made his father-in-law very happy.
In front of the visitors in the mansion, Murong Fu did not hide his affection at all. And what makes Huan Ran even more puzzling is that when introducing himself, he always adds the word Murong in front of his name.
At that time, Murong Bei could only stand by his father's side and watch, he felt that he was not his father's biological son, and he was not even as good as his entourage.
Therefore, after Murong Bei reached the age of twelve, he fought against Huanran everywhere. Because he didn't understand why this foreign boy was so happy, laughing heartlessly every day, and having so many happy things?
As a result, Murong Bei did a lot of things that he thought were the most meaningful.
For example, raping and killing a people's girl can arouse Huanran's anger, although Huanran beat him to make his nose blue and his face swollen;
For example, beating a gentleman who is a family scholar, such as sending a child daughter-in-law to a brothel, such as sleeping with his father's concubine, such as having no gambling money, he took his father's official seal as a ......
In short, as long as you are happy and angry, what is your own pain?
Not everything suffers, such as when he peed in Huanran's food box. As a result, he was kicked by Huan Ran in the bane, which made him stay in bed for more than a month. That month, he had the most enjoyable life, and he enjoyed unprecedented pleasure under the glaring eyes, and the happy life was nothing more than that.
On the contrary, that month was extremely easy. Without the nonsense of the second son, it seems that his life has begun to change. He switched from being a companion to being able to go to the clan study on his own.
He was also very strange about how the thick-eyed man who guarded the door didn't stop him. Later, he learned that it was his father-in-law's meaning. Perhaps the father-in-law has also lost faith in his young son.
Later, Huan Ran won the first place in the clan study internal literature test, and Murong Bei looked at him from a distance; Huan Ran won the first place in the clan study martial arts test, and Murong Bei also looked at him from a distance; Huan Ran was going to take the palace test, and Murong Bei jumped to look at him after seeing off the crowd.
Murong Bei described him as a little disappointed, but he still held his head high. He just wants to tell all the clansmen that he Murong Bei is also proud, and no one can see his future, because they have no vision. As for whether he has a future or not, even he doesn't know.
It was also from that day that Huan Ran discovered that Murong Bei had changed. Become reticent, stop doing nothing, but learn to do what you can. Even if the people didn't have time to finish it, he rushed to do it. This incident made the father-in-law very angry, but he couldn't cry or laugh.
The father-in-law asked Huanran, "What is rotten wood?"
Huan Ran said: "Rotten wood, useless wood, unmalleable talent." β
The father-in-law sighed: "Don't be a good wood, it's a pity." β
Huan Ran said: "The righteous father is serious, there is no decay wood in the world, if you lose the heart of carving, the wood in the world is rotten wood; β
"If it weren't for the words of the saints, I am afraid that your words would really shock the father. In your opinion, there is still salvation for Don't?"
"My brother has just been hit, and it will be good to recover a little. β
"Seven years have passed, doesn't he still want to do it?"
"There are immortal seekers outside the world, and there are many people who regret their mistakes and give up for 10,000 years, and seven years is not worth mentioning. β
"A person's life is only a few seven years, and next year it will be a weak crown, not for the official career, is it for the immortal journey?"
"Father-in-law, do you remember that when I was in trouble, he said that the eater takes it himself?"
"Unforgettable. β
"I regard merit as food, so I reach out and take it, which is my strength. The elder brother is not here, and if there is enough time, it will be successful. β
"He's been busy for seven years, I'm afraid he's hopeless in this life?"
"How about someone else for ten years, give him a hundred years?"
"That is the elixir for longevity, how can there be that kind of opportunity in front of mortals? Even so, with the power of the clan, exchange for an elixir, but an old man is not helpful in the clan. The father-in-law shook his head and said, "It's not worth it." β
Huan Ran remembered that since talking to his father-in-law that day, his father-in-law no longer cared about his brother's affairs, as if Murong Bei was dead. He knows that his father-in-law has great feelings, and he has great feelings for the people of the world, but he can't distinguish a trace of it for his own people. He was completely disappointed in Murong Bei.
Huan Ran looked at the brother who was in a daze in the window, and said, "Murong Bei, if you promise me, you will be famous in this life, and I promise you ten thousand years!"
"You're going to give me a long time, and you're going to trick the ghost. Even if I swear five poisons to the sky now, the heavens can't allow me to spend thousands of years, why should you!"
"Because, the eater takes it for himself! What about your guidelines?"
"I? I don't have a guideline. If there is, it is also passable. β
"Okay, then I now pray to God to give you divine water and give you ten thousand years of life. If you can realize the true meaning of life in the process of getting by, it will not be in vain for me to put in my thoughts. After speaking, he ordered his subordinates to take a talisman in his hand, attach it to the sword body, and raise it to the sky. Learn from the wizard's actions, and talk about it.
After a few moments, he cut his finger with his sword, and a drop of essence blood dripped into the bowl. Stretched out his hand to signal Murong Bei, and said, "Drink this divine water, and you will be able to live longer." β
Murong Bei didn't want to come out of the room, looking at the bowl of divine water like a red rainbow, his protruding eyeballs almost fell out.
He didn't move, his hand on the monkey's cheek, and he glanced at Huan Ran from time to time, as if he was thinking about something.
He truly felt the fluctuations of heaven and earth, and it was difficult for mortals to feel the fluctuations of heaven and earth unless they were cultivators. But he felt it, which means that the bowl of divine water should be real.
He began to suspect that there was something wrong with that talisman, but that talisman looked like an ordinary fire talisman, how could it cause fluctuations in heaven and earth? This made Murong Bei scratch his ears and cheeks and couldn't figure it out.
But in the end, he decided that he still had to drink the divine water before tracking down the talisman. He swallowed, but he still didn't want to go out.
Huan Ran resolutely said: "This is the Heavenly Dao Divine Water, and the eater will take it by himself!"
