Jushan said goodbye to the Medicine King and Qing'er, inquired about the location of Wanshou Mountain, rode his little donkey, and traveled for five days in a row under the stars. On this day, both the man and the donkey were very tired, but they saw a river in front of them. I saw that the river was turbulent, there was no ferry, and the giant mountain looked at the opposite bank, very anxious.

Suddenly, a person floated behind him, standing silently beside him, but he didn't look at him, and asked coldly, "Little brother, is you going to cross the river?" ”

Jushan saw that he was dressed in a crane robe, his appearance was gloomy, and he was very thin, and he was stunned and said, "Brother Tai also wants to cross the river?" The river here is so fast that I don't know when to wait for the ferry. Why don't you and I join forces to cut down that big tree, and let the trunk get stuck in the narrow part of the river in front of us, maybe we can get over. ”

The man's cold face suddenly showed a look of forbearance, and he smiled slightly: "That's not necessary." As soon as he finished speaking, the man grabbed the collar of the giant mountain, took the saddle of the donkey in his right hand, and with a slight stroke, he reached the other side.

"Oh yo——, ahh "I can't imagine that this man is thin and cold, but he has such divine power!

"Little brother, where did you come from?" The man asked, suddenly staring at his chest.

It turned out that when the giant mountain landed, the piece of beautiful jade that Wu Gang gave at the end of his neck was revealed.

"This is a parting gift from my brother." Giant Mountain Road.

"It's gorgeous." The man's cold and arrogant eyes suddenly shot a ray of greed, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but he couldn't help it, his hand hung in the air, and his heart seemed to be very entangled.

Seeing that he liked it, Jushan took it down and handed it to him to play with. The man was taken aback, and although he was a little hesitant, he couldn't help but rub it in his hand, and his cold eyes suddenly gave birth to a long-lost eagerness.

The two walked and said, Jushan found that this cold man was extraordinary, and he was actually very kind, but when he saw the jade, his eyes changed a little. After a short walk, when they reached the fork in the road, the two parted ways.

The man was about to turn away, when he gave him two small ingots of gold. Jushan knew that the road ahead was long, and the road was not easy, so he didn't shirk much. A hint of eagerness fell on the man's face again, and he became uninterested, and slowly left.

Jushan pondered for a moment, and then called the man: "I see that Brother Tai is a person who loves jade, and it is useless for me to keep it, so it is better to send it to you as a souvenir." ”

The man was pleasantly surprised, and wanted to refuse and welcome - the heavens and men fought for a moment, and suddenly bowed to the ground, and thanked him: "I have no face to receive this generous gift, but I encountered a big bump in the road today, and it just so happens that this jade may be able to save it." If the little brother can see the gift, I ...... I am very grateful for it! ”

Jushan hurriedly helped him up: "Little Jasper, how can you receive such a big gift?" I can't hide it, if it's mine, I'll send it to my brother. It's just that this thing is a parting gift from my brother-in-law, and I am afraid that he will be responsible when we meet in the future. In fact, he is a generous and heroic person, if he knew that this jade would meet someone who was destined, he would probably just laugh at it......"

"Since the little brother is so frank, I can't hide it...... Although this piece of jasper is small, it is in excellent condition, and it is very rare to enter the divine product, and it is not comparable to gold and silver! I am Qiao, the immortal prince of the heavenly court, and tomorrow is the day of my divine power assessment, and the protoss has not accepted the jade for a long time...... I was a little weak, and I had nothing to make up.

"We are divided into five grades: gold, silver, bronze, iron, and tin, and if I am rated as tin, what face will I have standing among the gods? I can only die...... Even if I borrow my brother's ......," Prince Jo choked.

It turned out that Ziqiao came out to look for jade today, but he got nothing. He tried to use his supernatural powers to steal the rich man's hidden jade several times, but after all, he was afraid of the laws of the heavenly court and did not dare to cross the thunder pool...... It looks like he's going to go back empty-handed again.

Unexpectedly, I met with the giant mountain, saw the beautiful jade, moved the hearts of mortals, and it was a battle between heaven and man, and in the end I still didn't dare to use a strong ...... But he didn't want this young man to be so generous, so he couldn't help but tell the truth.

"Little brother, I have this jade, and I can handle it for more than a month. I've figured it out, no jade is not an immortal! If it doesn't work well, you can only be cheeky to borrow, go to the dojo, and sell your art, and you have to struggle to survive...... If you have any wishes, I will help you fulfill them within my divine power, how about I talk about thanks? Prince Qiao was anxious to repay the reward, and clasped the giant mountain road with both hands.

Jushan wanted to refuse, but suddenly his heart moved: "If Brother Tai is an immortal, he must know the path of Heavenly Court." I have also seen mountains and rivers, sea scenery, but I have never seen the weather of the heavenly realm, only heard of what Yushu Qionghua, what Qionglou Yuyu, often think about a trip in my dreams, I heard that if you get a point of immortal energy, you can live for three more years! ”

"What, you want to go and see? What's so hard about that? Ziqiao said.

The giant mountain didn't have time to agree, Wang Ziqiao suddenly whistled, and a huge crane fell from the sky, and the two rode up on the crane, and in the blink of an eye, they pierced into the clouds. The donkey looked up and saw him drifting into the clouds, stomped his foot, and turned and walked back.

"Brother Ziqiao, why are you still like this as an immortal...... Trapped by jade? Not free? The giant mountain flew very comfortably in the clouds, and couldn't help but ask.

"As on today...... It's not as good as before, since the scattered immortals no longer send jade, the hearts of the gods have been scattered. However, the Jade Emperor is really embarrassed, there are too many immortals, and too little jade, which is the root.

"The scattered immortals in the world are noisy all the time, and the lower immortals also say that the jade is not enough to maintain the daily divine power, let alone improve. The reform of the fairy world is imminent, and the gods have thought of many new methods, so the Jade Emperor draws on the strengths of others to propose the 'end elimination method'. This is a good idea, with an annual comprehensive evaluation, to eliminate those redundant people who do nothing. ”

Ziqiao paused and said: "But this evaluation strategy is to make everyone tired.

"At the end of each year, Heavenly Court scores and comprehensively evaluates according to three aspects: divine power (strength, speed), merit (demon subjugation, tasks, jade), and conduct (assessed by the Ethics Committee, and the members are Jade Emperor, Laojun, Yuanzun, Tongtian, and Rulai, who generally do not participate in specific participation, and are all handed over to Guanyin to evaluate on his behalf).

Then the grading is divided into five grades: gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, etc. If the upper immortals get the 'tin' level for two consecutive years, they will be demoted to the lower immortals, and if the lower immortals get the "tin" level for two consecutive years, it will be even more terrifying, and they may be expelled - that is, they will be demoted to scattered immortals, then they will not be the immortals registered in the heavenly court. ”

"Sounds so complicated! However, according to me, isn't being a loose immortal also free? "Giant Mountain Road.

"Free? The little brother only knows one of them, this freedom has a price, they look free on the surface, but in fact, which one is not the first to think about getting jade, alas, I am afraid that it may not be more comfortable than the immortals of the heavenly court! What's more, if the divine power does not advance, it will retreat, how can their teachers and friends, regardless of their cultivation and divine power, compare with the Three Qings, the Four Heavenly Masters, the True Monarchs, the Twenty-Eight Constellations and others in the Heavenly Court? Ziqiao said.

"That's the same, if there is no famous teacher, it is probably hopeless to ascend to immortality. However, this immortal is not easy to be! "Giant Mountain Road.

"yes. Those of us who are civilians, are most afraid of the assessment of divine power, and I barely got an 'iron' level last time, which is already disgraced. Ziqiao sighed.

"It seems that it is not easy to be an immortal!"

"Not really!"

They were in the clouds, they were on the clouds, and they didn't know how long they flew until they reached the South Heavenly Gate of the Heavenly Court. Ziqiao asked him to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the heavenly realm outside the door, and he was anxious to go back to refining the jade, turned into a white neon and flew away.

Outsiders are not allowed to enter and exit at will, but a sign was erected at the door: recruitment. It turned out that there was a large-scale banquet in Heavenly Court temporarily, and there was a shortage of manpower, so he recruited scattered immortals to serve as servants, and the daily salary: one tael of gold.

When Jushan saw the salary of one or two gold, he couldn't help but smack his tongue and exclaim: Sure enough, it's Heavenly Court, and the recruitment of miscellaneous servants can afford such a high honorarium.

But when he saw two scattered immortals passing by, he glanced at them and scolded in a low voice: "This Jade Emperor is getting more and more picky, he can still give some jade a few years ago, why is it that now he only gives such a little gold, and the fool goes to give them his life, it is better to go back to the cave to sleep." ”

The other answered: "That's it, I can't mix the fairy fruit, and I have to look at their faces when they eat and drink!" During the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, I remember to give two taels of gold! The two of them said and walked away.

Jushan thought of this to find medicine, I don't know how many thousands of miles to walk, I don't know how many plates it will take, and there are only ten taels of silver in my pocket and two taels of gold that Ziqiao just sent, which is not very rich......

couldn't help but step forward to ask, the recruiter was very enthusiastic, and asked, "Which immortal recommended the honorable guest?" The person in charge next to him was afraid that Jushan would leave again, and hurriedly said: "I just saw him and Prince Qiao Shangxian coming together on a crane!" ”

"Venerable guest, you can see clearly, one tael of gold a day, and no jade." The recruiter is afraid that there will be another dispute later, and he needs to make it clear.

"I'm just passing by and asking...... However, these two gold can buy a lot of wine and meat, which is very good, very good! Where do I have this blessing? Jushan laughed.

The two looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled, looked at him again like a fool, and saw that he was wearing coarse cloth clothes, not to mention that the crane clothes were not decent fairy clothes and robes, looked at each other and smiled, and said in their hearts: It can be regarded as meeting a country bun scattered immortals, about a short time after ascending, so poor that he has never seen gold, one or two gold are said to be good, it seems that this time he can share more.

The two hurriedly took out a gorgeous silk silk - it turned out to be a temporary contract, and they couldn't help but say it, and even urged him to sign it. The silk is extremely delicate and soft, and with exquisite embroidery, it may not be possible to buy it for about two taels of silver. Jushan was still muttering: I'm really just passing by......
