After hearing this, the old man finally had a moved look and said: "These three situations, for the people of the world, there is no doubt that the first one has the least loss, and the third one has the greatest. However, when it comes to the true legend of the individual, it is the third situation that can best achieve meritorious deeds. ”

The shopkeeper in his prime smiled bitterly and drank: "The general trend of the world is like a big river and a vast soup, and it is true that heroes are born in troubled times, but they are just suffering from the innocent people who are flooded at the head and end of the river." ”

The old man was immersed in the long talk of the shopkeeper who could no longer distinguish it when he was thrown into the sea of people, and he couldn't extricate himself, when he heard the door of the backyard squeak, and a pungent voice panted: "The surname is Jiang, the old lady beef has been bought, don't come and marinate it soon, beware that you don't have to sell it tomorrow!"

The shopkeeper reluctantly retreated, there was a warmth in his eyes that was different from Fang Cai, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the old man Chu Chu confessed and left, and shouted to the back door: "There are guests yelling, lady, you put it down first, let me come." ”

Lu Shang drank a meal and said that the general trend of the world had changed, and he spit out the accumulated depression in his heart in one gulp, and the demeanor and temperament of the whole person seemed to have some indescribable changes. His wife Shen Jiang was the first to find out, and the sturdy woman who was busy boiling water in the back kitchen took a closer look at her man, and snorted coldly: "Which fox girl came to drink and threw you a flattering eye?" Sure enough, the family flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, no matter how the old lady looks at you, she doesn't see that you are refreshed, and you are the daughter of Zhang Sanye's family next door? Zhang Sanye is an honest person, why did he give birth to a daughter so dishonest? Wait for the old lady to come to her and say!"

The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly: "What is Third Master Zhang and Fourth Uncle Li, it's just that a guest came to the store in the afternoon, chatted with him about what he was thinking, and drank some wine." ”

Shen Jiang glanced at him, his tone did not fluctuate, but he said indifferently: "What's the matter, which immortal mountain is he an immortal who wants to take you up the mountain to practice?"

Lu Shang shook his head: "Definitely." ”

"It's a famous disciple, I know where the Immortal Mountain is, can I guide you to find it?"

"Definitely. ”

"It's a high-ranking official and a wealthy family, and you want to be allowed an official and a half-job?"

"Definitely. ”

Shen Jiang let out a long sigh: "If this is not the case, you also know that if you say too much, you will lose, what is the use of saying that those are listened to by outsiders?

Lu Shang said in an affirmative tone: "Husband, I am well-read, and I have cultivated the art of knowing people's faces and telling numerology, it should be true that the old man claims to be a healer, and I can even faintly smell the smell of herbs on his body." And although the clothes on his body are low-key and inconspicuous, they are also woven of luxurious silk, but they are dusty, sloppy, and unreal. If it weren't for the nobles who traveled to the world, they would be fugitives from the wealthy family who had committed a major crime, and his demeanor was leisurely and free, so it could not be the second type. In the first case, the person must have possessed a strange skill or, as he said, a great medical skill, before he dared to walk alone in the world. ”

"Judging by his words and deeds, waiting for me to be an ordinary tavern shopkeeper for an afternoon without being impatient or impatient, how can this kind of qi cultivation kung fu be available to ordinary people? If I am going to meet a noble person in my life, the first one is this old man, so I told him all I have learned. ”

The woman was not surprised by the shrewdness and decisiveness of the seemingly rigid man, who had known each other for a long time in the tavern. She was just a little annoyed and began to blame her husband in pieces. As soon as he didn't pay attention, a scoop of water spilled on the outside of the stove, causing a "snort" sound, and a white mist began to rise: "I know that he is a nobleman, and you still leave people to dry for an afternoon? If you annoy him, won't you have to do any business? Why don't you go to eat and drink and wait?"

Lu Shang waved his sleeves: "How can a master outside the world infer with common sense, not to mention that if it is not an afternoon of patient observation, how can he assert that he is not a person who deceives the world and steals his name?"

Shen Jiang was still a little skeptical, and asked, "The old gentleman is still drinking?" Let the family wait for an afternoon, and then serve some good wine and good food." ”

The husband and wife walked out of the backyard hand in hand, and when they went to the front of the tavern, they found that the old man had only left the scraps on the table after drinking the residual wine, and he was already dizzy and drunk on the table, and he only kept muttering: "Dajiangtou, the people are bitter." At the end of the river, the people are bitter ......"

At this time, it was getting late, and they looked at each other, and they had a tacit understanding in their hearts. Together, they gently helped the old man up and walked to the guest room, and after settling down, the husband and wife also turned off the lights early and rested.

——————

In the middle of the night, the sound of drums outside the courtyard woke up the sloppy drinkers who had fallen asleep early. The old man Chu was sleepy-eyed, lifted the quilt covered by his body, and ignored the cold autumn breeze outside the courtyard, and walked into the backyard of the small wine shop. The old man Chu found that there was actually a plane tree planted in the courtyard, but it was of ordinary thickness, and it was not too young to plant it. In late autumn, the leaves of the sycamore tree are golden, the moonlight is just past the middle of the sky, the silver streamer is inclined to pour onto the sycamore leaves, blown by the evening breeze, listening to the rustle of the leaves, there are yellow leaves falling one after another, looking at such a bright night scene, it is very peaceful to calm the mind. The old man's hair was messy, and he didn't comb it, but he just touched his red rosacea, looked up at the sycamore branches, and said to himself with a smile: "Jiang Ziya, I don't want a little shopkeeper to have such a high spirit, even the courtyard is not planted with the clear and tall bamboo branches that are loved by literati and scholars, not the plum blossoms that are loved by lonely and cold people, nor the pines and cypresses that are loved by loyal ministers and good generals, but the plane trees that this phoenix does not inhabit and can be seen everywhere in the residence of the Son of Heaven." ”

"If you follow your three words, even if you go to the Zhuhuang Palace full of sycamore trees, the first and second scenarios can indeed achieve some fame, but it is only the icing on the cake for the fortune of the great merchant and the country. What's more, there are great sages in front of you, even if your plan can be ambushed for 800 years, and the great merchants will extend for at least 800 years, but the subjects at that time are estimated to still only recognize the sages of the great merchants of Zhongxing, not you, a halfway monk whose light is hidden in the shadows and still seems to be an idiot who is bent on seeking immortals. ”

"If the world really becomes the third situation in which you Lu Shang can completely spread out the splendid picture scroll in his chest, even if you become the emperor of the Great Shang in a few decades, you will only be powerless to return to heaven and die with Yin Shang. Lu Shang is dead, maybe the stars in the sky will still turn, but you are a person who is based on the people of the human race, and if you can't show it, you will disappear without a trace, isn't it a pity?

"Since your heart is towards Kunlun, why don't you be a favor to the old man, and simply guide you into the Kunlun Gate? The old man will help you up the towering Kunlun Mountain and let you sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, depending on whether you can catch the golden turtle and change the sun and moon and a new sky for the people of the human race. ”

With the idea in his heart, the old man Chu Shu bent down to pick up a yellow leaf, and his fingers quickly drew a lot of small words on it that were not real. As soon as he raised his hand, the yellow leaf followed the unclosed door to the bed he had slept on just now, and without alarming the shopkeeper and his wife, he opened the back door and walked into the deep darkness by himself, and did not forget to cover the back door of the tavern before leaving.

——————

In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Lu Shang got up before his wife, opened the door and breathed a breath of fresh and cold air in the early morning of late autumn. Lu Shang hurriedly walked over to see that the room was empty, and the old man didn't know when he left the tavern. His heart was a little empty, although he met yesterday, he and this old man hit it off at first sight, and it seemed that he had become a New Year's friend. The old man said goodbye without saying goodbye, which made Lu Shang, who thought that he had finally met a nobleman, even more disappointed, and shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly that he was really a blessed person whose heart was higher than the sky and whose life was thinner than paper. Dejectedly, he pushed the door in and prepared to pack up the bed and bedding, and saw a yellow leaf trembling gently with the breeze, I wanted to throw it away, but when I didn't want to touch it, I felt that the leaf seemed to be a little uneven, so he picked it up and looked at it carefully, and after looking at those extremely subtle small words, this middle-aged man who had been hidden in the market for many years cried with joy, and his eyes were no longer empty, but there was a moving look shining endlessly.

Micro characters on the left side of the yellow leaf vein: Those who find the Kunlun Mountain Gate can get started, the mountain has strange peaks and should be flooded and starry, and the Beichen crape myrtle star is found, and the mountain gate can be seen.

On the right side of the veins are densely packed with many small dots, only one of which is more conspicuous than the rest. Except for the old monsters who survived the flood like Wu Zhiqi, even the most knowledgeable high priest of the Great Shang Dynasty seemed to be chaotic and dotted, and there was a divine consciousness attached to his mind, making him instantly understand the meaning of these small dots.

This is the appearance of the stars of the desolation Zhou Tian at the beginning of the birth of heaven and earth, and after three tribulations, there have already been countless stars who have changed their positions today, and this picture is not allowed, unless there is a great luck in the sky, otherwise it may not be able to find the Kunlun Mountain Gate even if it is wandering around in the vast Kunlun for hundreds of years.

Lu Shang was ecstatic and pulled up his wife, who was still in the warm bed. Shen Jiang was about to get angry, but saw her husband tremblingly holding her delicate hand that had been working all year round and was no longer what it used to be, and muttered, "Pack your luggage, let's go to Kunlun." ”

This woman who has endured a lot of hardships with him on weekdays, but has never given up, but has a pungent temperament and unscrupulous words, instantly shed tears, just like countless times in the past to change her livelihood or move her residence, without asking the reason, just wiped the tears on her husband's wrinkled face with her sleeves, and smiled like a flower on her not very good-looking face: "Okay." ”

I have a wife's name Shen Jiang, but ginger is more ginger.

Lu Shang hugged her tightly into his arms: "In the future, you and I will not only practice to become immortals, but I will also be ranked as a first-class minister, so that you and I will be famous for the eternal history, so that you and the children in your womb can enjoy the prosperity of the world!"

From now on, Haiqu County, Langya County, Yanzhou, Dashang, has lost an ordinary wine shopkeeper named Lu Shang, and two months later, there is an additional outer disciple Jiang Ziya who practiced with his wife on Kunlun Mountain, where there are one hundred and eight strange peaks in the western world.
