Chapter 3 Eating oil cakes or not
The rolling mountains embedded in the sky still appear black in the sunlight, as if the light has been sucked away.
Muddy rugged mountain roads.
A wooden cart pulled by a donkey was wobbly heading east.
The early morning sun is a little soft, and it seems that it is unwilling to dispel the cold of the night rain, which makes people shiver.
Chen Yun curled up in the back of the wooden cart without saying a word.
"What do you think the third master is taking us for?"
"I don't know."
There were two soft noises from the side.
Chen Yun casually glanced at the other three or four twelve or thirteen-year-old boys in the car with worried faces.
Perhaps malnourished since childhood, he was two or three years older than these boys, but he was about the same size, even shorter than the tall and thin boy.
He was very thin, and he looked like he was twelve or thirteen years old.
Those three or four teenagers who were younger than themselves were sold by their families like Chen Yun.
At this time, the third master who was driving slowly said: "Don't be afraid, you babies, the third master will not kill you, but will take you to the city to live a good life." ”
Others will be sold to something that no one knows.
Chen Yun knew that no matter how bad he was, he could be a man in the house, so he didn't worry too much.
The tall and thin young man at the front of the car asked weakly, "Third Master, where are you taking us to?" ”
The third master said: "Xigou City." ”
Chen Yun knows something about this city, and his cheap father will go to Xigou City to find work every time he is free, hundreds of miles away from the small mountain village.
The tall and thin young man asked again, "What are you doing in Xigou City?" ”
The third master glanced back at him, and Yuan Dundun showed a dumb smile on his face, "It's okay for you baby to talk to me more, if you enter a big family to be a housekeeper in the future, don't talk too much, otherwise the master will really fight." ”
The tall and thin boy was startled, "The master will beat people?" ”
The third master was relieved: "As long as you are diligent in your hands and feet, the host will not only have hot meals for you to eat, but when you are older, the master will also help you find a daughter-in-law, provided that you must be diligent." ”
Another dark-skinned teenager asked, "Third Master, have we become cheap when we are sold into a big family?" ”
"You baby, where did you hear the word cheap?"
The third master smiled and shook his head, he coaxed everyone, and said: "Look at luck, if you meet a good master, you may be able to return to your good status, whether it is a cheap or a good family, at least the master's family will give you hot meals to eat, and will give you warm clothes to wear, isn't it better than you living in the mountains all your life hungry and cold?" ”
Several of the children seemed to be fooled, and all of them seemed excited.
Chen Yun never spoke.
He didn't care about any of that.
What Chen Yun cares about is how he makes a name for himself.
Just as he was thinking about it, the third master spoke again, "Before you enter the city, I have to teach the rules first." ”
Chen Yun doesn't know much about this world.
Hearing this, he pricked up his ears.
"First, you must be respectful to the master's family, even if the master's family beats you and scolds you, you have to endure it."
The third master said slowly: "Second, if you enter a big family and have the opportunity to go out on the street, you must go far away when you see a monk and Taoist priest on the road, if you really can't get around, remember not to bump into the monk and Taoist." ”
When you see a monk and a Taoist, you must bypass it?
There's really no way to bypass or collide?
Chen Yun felt a little inexplicable about this rule.
The third master continued: "Third ......"
"Third Master." Chen Yun asked the puzzle in his heart, "Why do you have to bypass when you see a monk and Taoist?" ”
The third master snorted and said: "Everyone is a living immortal, and they all have unpredictable and earth-shattering powers, and the court has to rely on them, if you don't get around, if you accidentally offend, won't you kill yourself?" ”
Living immortals?
Possess unpredictable supernatural powers?
Hearing this, Chen Yun was stunned for a moment.
He gave birth to a head that did not dare to believe in it.
Could it be that this is the world of Xianxia?
Wait!
If this is the world of Xianxia, then the small copper furnace that I got by accident is really the magic weapon of immortals, right?
Thinking of this, Chen Yun decided to get to the bottom of it and ask a good question, "Third Master, could those living immortals you said be magical?" ”
The dark-skinned boy was also curious: "Is there really a god in the world?" ”
"Of course there are immortals in this world." The third master smashed his mouth and said, "Zhongnan Mountain, which is the closest to Xigou City, do you know?" ”
This Chen Yun really doesn't know.
Except for the Great Black Mountain and Xigou City, the others are only found from the occasional conversation from the mouths of the father and mother.
Jungnam Mountain?
Could it be that this is some ancient dynasty on Earth?
Chen Yun secretly pondered in his heart.
The tall and thin boy seemed to have heard of it, "I heard Daddy say it." ”
"Well, there are several immortals living on Zhongnan Mountain, and Lao Tzu, the incarnation of Taishang Laojun in the past, later Lao Tzu sent a letter to Guguan to turn Hu into a Buddha, and Zhongnan Mountain gradually became a dojo for the incarnation of immortals such as Han Zhongli, Marshal Zhao, Marshal Zhengyi Xuantan, and so on."
The third master said like a few family treasures: "Oh, by the way, one of the eight immortals, Emperor Fuyou, the human incarnation of Lu Xianren, the Quanzhen Sect Master Chongyang Zhenren, who is known as the land immortal by the world, is from the Zhong Shenxian sect, and it is also regarded as the ultimate Nanshan immortal." ”
What?
Lao Tzu, Zhong Liquan, Lu Dongbin, Zhao Gongming, and Wang Chongyang actually exist in the same time dimension?
If you want to say this, this place can basically be determined to be a certain dynasty in ancient China?
Chen Yun felt extremely incredible in his heart.
It's just that he still has a question that he doesn't understand.
In modern society, as long as you know a little bit about Taoist culture, you know that Lao Tzu is a person from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zhong Liquan is a person from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Lu Dongbin is a person from the Tang Dynasty, Wang Chongyang is from the Jin Dynasty, and Zhao Gongming is a person made up in "The Romance of the Gods".
Now these people are all in the same dynasty?
He was really upside down.
What kind of magical world is this?
Chen Yun is really a little blindsided.
Even the third master didn't pay attention to what the third master said.
I vaguely hear that the world is divided into many countries, large and small.
The territory of Xigou City, where he is located, belongs to the Qin State.
In addition, Chen Yun also heard about some so-called "Taoist disputes" wars.
It is said that the Qin State was originally called the Qin Dynasty and was the suzerainty of the land of Shenzhou.
Because only the suzerainty can be called a "dynasty", and the others can only be called a "state", so after the Qin Dynasty was defeated in the battle for Taoism, it was reduced to a dominant state, and now it can only be called the Qin state.
The current suzerainty of the world is a country called the Tang Dynasty.
As for whether it is the Tang Dynasty in his memory, Chen Yun still does not know.
It was noon.
The third master suddenly stopped the car and turned his head to look at the young people, "Do you eat oil cakes?" ”
Yes?
You're also a little black?
Chen Yun almost wanted to ask if the third master was also from modern society.
Fortunately, the third master took out several oil cakes from his bag as he spoke.
Everyone has a hard time satisfying on weekdays, but now their eyes are lit up when they see the oil cake.
The third master could also see that everyone was hungry, and gave everyone a piece of oil cake.
"It's delicious."
"There's meat in there!"
Several teenagers devoured and couldn't help but let out exclamations.
Chen Yun also got a piece of oil cake.
However, he was not as startled as the teenagers, but just sat in the back of the car and ate silently.
The third master looked at everyone with a smile, "In the future, you will have the opportunity to eat big fish and meat in big households, so you must be diligent." ”
Chen Yun didn't take these words at ease.
He was pondering something else.
Is there really an immortal in this world?
Could it be that the copper furnace I got by chance is very likely to be an immortal magic weapon?
If so, if I have the opportunity to come into contact with the immortals, will I have a chance to live forever?
