Chapter 337: The world is also beautiful, and the dragon gate should be crossed
"Thousands of miles away from the Buzhou Mountains, there is another mountain, although it is not as magnificent as the Buzhou Mountains, but it is also famous.
Its name is Longmen, on the bank of the long river.
The ancestors spent thousands of material resources to dig mountains and open more than one mile. The long river runs from the middle to the bottom, and there are no cars and horses on both sides of the river.
Every fifteen years, there are big carp from the sea and the rivers to go to it first, in order to cross the dragon gate.
After the big carp crosses the dragon gate, there are clouds and rain and the fire burns its tail from behind, and then turns into a dragon, which is a rare wonder in the mortal dust.
Whenever the carp leaps over the dragon gate, many people come here just to witness this wonder of the world. ”
While walking, Zhuang Sheng kept talking.
When it comes to all kinds of myths and legends, different scenery, humanities and even history, he has an extremely deep understanding, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as knowledgeable as the sea.
This person is really enjoying life, and he never worries about his 'future' or 'future', and only does those things that interest him, whether it is in the Xia Dynasty or in the Buzhou Mountains.
It can be described as chic and happy to the extreme.
Gu Dan knows a lot of grandmasters, and he has seen more, but no matter who he is, he is not as happy as Zhuang Sheng, even if Zhuang Sheng's strength can only be inferior to the people he knows, why not let him live happily?
If you don't want to pursue a higher realm, or set too lofty goals, the strength of the grandmaster is completely enough for people to live a chic and wanton life.
It's just that Gu Dan has seen so many people throughout, and Zhuang Sheng is the only one who can really run through this chic.
"Every year I go down there a lot, it's boring, but it's clean. Although it is noisy below, it is still prosperous. ”
For Gu Dan, it is to return to the mortal dust, but for Zhuang Sheng, everything is so familiar.
He changed into a sackcloth dress, carrying a bamboo pole and a fishing basket, wearing a robe, wearing a hat on his head, dressed as a fisherman, and even Gu Dan could smell a strong fishy smell from his body.
Zhuang Sheng was not half uncomfortable, it was obvious that Gu Dan invited him down the mountain, but he seemed to have become the host's family, entertaining guests, and said in a few words: "If you talk about eating and drinking, the wine and food in the drunken fairy building can be described as extraordinary; If you want to enjoy the scenery, you can't ignore the upcoming Fish Leaping Dragon Gate; If you like beauties, the warbler Yanyan of Yihong Courtyard is also a talent double. ”
Zhuang Sheng strode forward, his body was athletic, and asked with a smile, "I don't know which Brother Kong is interested in?" ”
"In life, you can't stop eating and drinking. I haven't eaten any delicacies for so many years, so I should naturally go to the Drunken Immortal Building. ”
Gu Dang even had a choice.
Cultivating to his realm, there is no problem at all in Bigu for ten days and half a month, and even Ning Fang, who is searching, also has the lowest level of Bigu Dan, although he can't eat one for a few months without drinking or eating like the Immortal Dao Sect, and there is no problem with eating one for three days.
But in this way, he lost the enjoyment of eating, and it seemed that eating was just to fill his stomach, which made Gu Dan particularly unhappy.
However, Xianfang does not raise idlers, and even more land is expensive, and he doesn't even have a decent cook, so he is not good at mavericks.
It's just a matter of not thinking about it on weekdays, but now that it's out, you should enjoy it.
"This is a mistake, even if you enter the mortal world, you have to go once, it is nothing more than a different order."
Zhuang Sheng smiled and said: "Brother Kong, don't worry too much, I'll take you on a tour!" ”
"Hah"
Gu Dan smiled, then nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Drunken Immortal Building.
This building is as high as nine floors, condescending to overlook the scenery of half of the city, by the mountains and water, the scenery is beautiful, and it can be said to be very famous in the surroundings.
And it is said that decades ago, there were immortals who came to this building to feast and drink, and when they were drunk, they went out of thin air, and since then, this building has been renamed 'Drunken Immortal', but it has contributed to a fame.
Countless princes and nobles, children of the family, just in order to be contaminated with a little fairy energy, are also willing to come here for a small gathering, if you are lucky enough to see the immortals, in case of favor, is not half a step into the road?
"Although the building has nine floors, it is only open to the public for eight floors. The ninth floor is only for 'immortals', but it is said that since the ninth layer was left vacant, there has never been a master. ”
Coming to the drunken immortal downstairs, Zhuang Sheng said like a treasure.
"Really? In this way, there is not necessarily a very immortal spirit. ”
Gu Dan shook his head slightly and did not comment.
"Immortals can not care, they dare not be disrespectful."
Zhuang Sheng said disapprerovingly: "In addition, the wine and food in the Drunken Immortal Building are indeed extraordinary, and they are very skillful. It's not a hassle to make a special trip for this. ”
He walked to the drunken immortal building with Gu Dan familiarly, the lower three floors are all halls, gathering nine streams of Chinese people, and the middle three floors are private rooms, most of them are children of rich families, as for the upper three floors, it is not something that ordinary people can think about.
Zhuang Sheng didn't pick a position, he casually chose a place in the hall on the first floor, and couldn't wait to slap the table and shout: "The shopkeeper!" ”
"Here, this master, what are you going to eat?"
The shopkeeper ran over quickly, and asked diligently without any unusual eyes because of Zhuang Sheng's outfit.
"Serve all the good dishes you have here."
Zhuang Sheng said casually.
"What?"
The shopkeeper was a little stunned.
"All good dishes, all over again."
Zhuang Sheng said patiently.
"This lord, there are more than 100 kinds of good dishes in our Drunken Immortal Building, and you two may not be able to eat them all."
The shopkeeper whispered.
"Then you don't have to worry about it."
Zhuang Sheng sighed lightly, and a piece of gold fell on the table, which was extraordinarily arrogant.
The shopkeeper picked up the gold, pressed it slightly, and didn't say anything more at the moment, "Let's go and urge the cook." ”
And Zhuang Sheng was holding the gold in his hand, and said inexplicably: "This thing is left in the Buzhou Mountain Range, and it is useless, and I am afraid that it will be soft when I press the table." But it falls in the mundane, but it is tens of millions of pounds, enough to exchange for brocade clothes and food, glory and wealth.
Pity the group of high-ranking 'immortals' who are still struggling, unable to be freed, each for their own sorrows, and rarely see laughter. On the contrary, in the mundane, laughter and joy can be seen everywhere, there are those who are comfortable, there are those who are poor and luxurious, there are those who are precarious, and there are those who are determined to live. ”
With a snap, the thumb-sized nugget landed on the table.
"I often feel that the Buzhou Mountains are too small, too much like the mundane, but they have lost the vitality and prosperity of the mundane, like some waves stirring in a pool of stagnant water, and they can't even turn up the waves.
What difference does it make if you practice qi or build a foundation? That kind of cultivation is really boring, and it is far less than being at ease in the mortal world.
That immortal, don't cultivate it. ”
The surroundings were very noisy, Zhuang Sheng's lips did not move, but the voice accurately reached Gu Dan's ears, this was a secret conversation between the two.
"Perhaps, it's because the true immortal path is still in the future. I can't think of the prosperity of the imperial capital in the ravine, so the little shrimp has to play with the mud and sand. ”
Gu Dan nodded in agreement.
"I'm afraid that under the rolling Yangtze River in the coming day, it will be difficult for small fish and shrimp to even live. Ordinary things are almost useless to the immortal road, and the immortals and mortal dust are separated by thousands of red dust.
What do real immortals regard as mundane? Even in the Buzhou Mountains now, there is almost indifference, those who live in the nine-layer heavens, do they really care about mortal dust? ”
Zhuang Sheng shook his head.
One thing I have to admit is that with the stronger the strength and the longer the lifespan, the lower the sense of identity with mortal dust.
Even if he is only a grandmaster, how much sense of identity can he have with the descendants of the bloodline a hundred years later?
How much affection can be evoked by a person you may have never even met suddenly running in front of you and calling you 'grandfather', even if you know that the other person has their own blood?
The biggest possibility, I'm afraid, is just a nod.
This is still related by blood.
Those immortals who are in retreat can often be counted for decades, or even hundreds of years, and between opening and closing their eyes at one time, the mortal dust has changed several times, and there is not even a name worth remembering - even if there is, it can only be imprinted on books, and how many people have that kind of leisure and elegance to understand?
Anyway, when I closed my eyes and opened my eyes again, I didn't know how many heroes and sages were silent in the years.
After coming like this a few times, he is a warm-hearted person, and I am afraid that he will gradually become cold and alienated.
No wonder it is said that the first level of the immortal road is not actually a qualification, but a mortal dust.
When the mortal fetus is cut off by the naked eye, all the perception of the earthly world can pursue the ethereal supreme immortal path.
A glimpse of the whole picture, even if he has not seen the real immortal prosperity with his own eyes, Zhuang Sheng can be sure that the group of immortals is probably not enthusiastic about everything in the mortal world, and it is good to be indifferent.
If you ask for nothing, you can do nothing.
At present, except for the talented people who may emerge from the mortal dust, the mortal dust has almost no help to speak of in the immortal path.
is the return of the immortals, Zhuang Sheng is not optimistic, how much change can be in the world.
If you don't get hurt, you're a success.
As he spoke, the food and wine were served.
It's steaming, full of color and flavor.
"Come, eat!
People have a desire to eat, and they can forget their worries! ”
Zhuang Sheng took the lead in rolling up his sleeves, and he was not polite, he stretched out his hand and tore off half of the chicken and began to gnaw, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a prodigal wreck.
Under the chic, he also has worries.
It's just that this worry does not affect his openness and wantonness.
This state of mind, Gu Dan likes it very much.
The delicious mouth, the wine in the throat, and the binge drinking and eating can be said to have stunned the people around.
Zhuang Sheng and Gu Dan didn't care, and even competed with each other for food—food, just to make people rush to eat to have fun.
The wine and food are full, and the dishes are stacked high.
Without waiting for anyone to come over and entangle, Zhuang Sheng pulled Gu Dan and left quickly.
"If you are full of wine and food, you can't help but go to that place."
While talking, he didn't go far, Zhuang Sheng came to Yihong Courtyard with Gu Dan familiarly.
As soon as you get to the door, you can hear a lot of laughter.
"Go up to the third floor."
Zhuang Sheng led Gu Dan to the third floor, where there was a box that was divided everywhere but had no door, which could be separated by a screen, and you could also directly peek into the extremely soft dancing of the dancers in the venue.
"This master, it looks like a face-to-face?"
Gu Dan had just sat down, and immediately a good-looking woman came to his side, with a broad heart looming, the fragrant breeze lingering, and the red sleeves swaying slightly, just brushing his face.
"Just stay with him."
Gu Dan pointed to Zhuang Sheng on the side and said.
"Since you're here, why be so alienated?"
The woman pasted it over, and her palm restlessly landed on Gu Dan's chest, "I see that my master is very strong, hehehe." ”
"It's not alienation."
Gu Dan's qi and blood surged slightly, and the palm placed on his chest couldn't help but move away.
Zhuang Sheng on the side laughed and said, "He doesn't like it, so he can come to me." ”
Gu Dan just leaned quietly on the cushion behind him, although he was in the land of dogs and horses, he was not at all uncomfortable, but he was like a barrier from everyone.
If he wanted to indulge, there were countless opportunities for him to indulge during the Xia Dynasty.
But the real difficulty is not indulgence, but self-sufficiency.
Indulgence can be anyone, how difficult it is to hold oneself.
Gu Dan kept in mind a sentence: There is nothing in the world that people want to be in danger, and several people have mistaken their lives here.
He won't leave any flaws in himself, and he doesn't need such low-level indulgence methods, at least these people in front of him can't arouse his desires.
Cultivation improves not only the realm, but also the cognition and judgment of the things themselves.
The woman who is in the dust of China and the fragrance of heaven falls in his eyes. It is said that the dry bones are still too much, but there is no beauty at all, but it is true.
At this time, there is not much difference between whether he is really a pampered woman of a prince or a beggar on the street.
Of course, after all, he has lived in the mundane for a long time, so the judgment of ordinary people's 'beauty' is still there, but this appreciation of beauty no longer belongs to him.
Unless he himself blindfolded, covered his soul, and volunteered to be blind, no matter how enchanting and charming he was, he could only say, 'That's it's just that'.
So he is not interested in this kind of occasion, not because he has really lost that desire, but because the gap between the two is too big, so big that it is difficult to even appreciate it itself.
Since he was promoted to Grand Master, he had rarely interacted with outsiders except for those who were familiar with him, and there was no reason for this.
It can be seen from this that what fairies in mortal stories are indeed making up nonsense, and the great masters have been tricked to this point, but any fairy with a little strength must be a mortal who is unlikely to look at - it has nothing to do with whether the other party is arrogant or not, and the perception of beauty itself is no longer on the same level.
Fortunately, although I have lost a part of the fun that is very important to many people here, I can still appreciate the sound of silk and bamboo and the beauty of dancing, but it cannot be said that I came for nothing.
When he came out of Yihong Courtyard, Zhuang Sheng walked a little shaky.
"Brother Kong is boring, and the beauty is indifferent on the side."
Zhuang Sheng even blamed him.
"Ha, Zhuang Daoyou's cultivation is more advanced, I'm afraid I will lose this happiness."
Gu Dan replied with a smile.
"Oh?"
Zhuang Sheng was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't say much, but said: "Calculate the time, it is almost time for the fish to leap into the dragon gate, and it is better to go at this time." ”
"Okay, then let's see if the fish can jump over the dragon gate."
