On Siheng Road in Y Village, Xu Ruoping's single apartment is only two roads away from Xiaoqian's apartment.

Fortunately, although the place she rented was a little more expensive, she didn't run into the deep streets and narrow alleys, and turned a road after exiting the subway.

Xu Ruoping absentmindedly opened the lock, and the moment the door opened, her whole person froze in place, from her hair to her toenails, as if she was being pulled and straightened by a thin string.

Her apartment is a one-bedroom apartment, with no balcony, open to the hall, a row of small sofas placed against the wall, a small floor-to-ceiling glass coffee table next to the front, and a fourteen-inch second-hand TV two steps ahead.

An old man with gray hair and beard on a bamboo pole was sitting stiffly in a corner of the sofa, and at night he looked at it in the dark light, it was simply a zombie, Shi Shiran pursed his mouth and drank tea, using Xu Ruoping's own cup.

"Grandpa!"

Xu Ruoping called in a low voice.

A chilly chill ran down the tail vertebrae to the upper spine, the person did not move, and his eyes first looked the old man up and down, left and right, and made sure that the shadow of the ring whip did not follow, and then he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

The whip has divine sense, no more than a foot long, she is a folding fan when she holds it in her hand, but it is a whip that is stretched out, and there is no trace in the palm of her hand, but the pain can go straight into your scalp.

When Xu Ruoping was seven years old, she found a one-centimeter-sized jade gourd when she rummaged through the cabinets in her mother's room, and hung it on her neck for a long time.

The sadness of this process is heart-wrenching to think about!

"Come here, sit down!"

The old man didn't blush at all, raised his hand to pour a cup of tea, and gently pushed it in front of Xu Ruoping.

Without a whip, Xu Ruoping put down a big stone in her heart, thinking that she had not abandoned her studies and Taoism recently, and at the same time she had not abandoned her Taoism, the whole person relaxed, sat down next to her grandfather softly, and drank the cup of tea in one go, then rubbed her nose with satisfaction, and hummed: "Really, what day is it today, it is not the day of the examination yet, your old man is here?"

The old man laughed twice, two rows of wrinkles crawled all over the corners of his eyes, and one hand tapped the coffee table again and again, and asked as if intentionally and unintentionally: "Has the charm depicted to the point of being completely arbitrary?"

This is a signal to be punished at any time, Xu Ruoping immediately straightened up a carp, straightened her posture, made a posture of precariousness, and replied seriously: "It's here!"

"Can Mai recite the mantra backwards?"

"Yes!"

"What do you think of the decree?"

"The laws and regulations are clear, and the wealth is powerful. The decree is short and sharp, poor and lowly. Long to the pavilion, longevity is credible. Short and mouthful, starving to death. The decree was broken, and there was a shortage of firewood and rice. Twisted round and long, full of food and clothing. ”

"Can you study the Rokko Divine Book?"

"Yes!"

"What's the mantra for the reappearance of chasing the moon?"

"Face the Emperor of Donghua, order me to grant the Liujia Heavenly Book, hold the Liujia Divine Seal, stand somewhere and wait for the moon, the moon wheel appears, that is, it is quickly offered. Haste as a law. ”

The old man nodded slightly, and the atmosphere gradually changed from nervous to relaxed, and then to the state of indifference, Xu Ruoping became more and more proud in her heart, secretly thinking that this sudden spot check had finally taken a big stride!

She smashed her mouth, leaned over gently, supported her cheek with one hand, like a hungry elementary school child, and asked leisurely: "Grandpa, you always say that cultivating immortals can live forever, and after ascending, you can enter the heavenly realm to serve, and from then on you will be free and happy." But I always think this thing is too ethereal, gossip, you have lived so old, have you ever seen a real immortal?"

The old man thought for a moment and replied very seriously: "No!"

Xu Ruoping was disappointed!

The old man seemed to be pondering something, and said softly: "But it doesn't mean that there are no immortal families in this world, this matter needs to be investigated!"

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the immortals were gradually written into the books of the hundred schools of thought, such as Nuwa, Kuafu, Houyi, Gonggong, Xiangliu, Jingwei, and the Queen Mother of the West recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and Guangchengzi, Peng Zu, Kunpeng, Hebo, and Poseidon recorded in the Zhuangzi.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, there was further development, and more immortal characters and legends appeared in "Huainanzi", "Historical Records", "Legend of Liexian", and "Legend of Immortals".

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, "The Legend of the True Immortals of the Yuan Dynasty" also systematically introduced Taoist gods such as Yuan Shi Tianzun, Fusang Emperor, Eastern Prince, and Western Queen Mother!

How about it, your consciousness has improved, and you want to go back with me to concentrate on cultivation?"

Xu Ruoping narrowed her eyes and smiled, waved her hand, and said, "No! It's just that I've been having some weird dreams lately, so I'm a little curious and ask by the way!"

This time, the old man was disappointed, he squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment like Xu Ruoping, and suddenly his tone increased, with a bit of stern reprimand: "Have you broken the precepts recently?"

As soon as Xu Ruoping heard this, her little heart fluttered, but she replied categorically: "Recently, I have been abiding by my duty and have not broken the precepts!"

The old man picked up the teacup with both hands, took a sip slowly, his eyes slipped around Xu Ruoping's body like a knife, and said, "You didn't break the precepts, then why did you give your amulet to her?"

"My best friend just gave birth, I'm such an adult, I can't visit without a greeting gift, right?"

Xu Ruoping is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and she insists that she doesn't know anything!

"Still quibbling? The face of the ghost is beaten into a pig's head by your gourd, if I didn't happen to pass by, if this matter is stabbed, I think you should not cultivate immortals, just collect the corpse, and go to report to Meng Po!"

The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end, his lips trembled: "People stand between heaven and earth, everything is fate, and those who know their fate and obey their fate will win; those who do not know their fate and act wisely will lose; those who do not believe in fate and act against the destiny of heaven will end in a miserable defeat!"

I have repeatedly warned you that you can't use your own practice to help others change their lives against the sky, otherwise you will be punished by God sooner or later, you are such an adult, and you are still as willful as a child, since ancient times, there are rules of heaven and earth, and you have repeatedly committed crimes, you, you, when will you give me a longer memory!"

Xu Ruoping was noncommittal, knowing that she was wrong, she became a frosted eggplant, lowered her eyelids, two teardrops swirled in her eyes, and her long eyelashes squeezed lightly and fell silently.

The old man was distressed for a while when he saw this, and when he saw that he had been trained heavily, his tone softened, and he sighed: "Fortunately, this ghost and I are both old friends, and for what you did today, I can turn a blind eye and expose it!"

Xu Ruoping: "••••••"

That's too paradoxical, isn't it?

Who was it who was there just now, who was there to teach people with a big truth, and who was the one who immediately went back to the door to settle the matter?

"My best friend's child ••••••"

Xu Ruoping asked, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, squeezing out a lovely smile.

Xu Ruoping's smile is extremely charming, whether it is a big laugh, a light laugh, or a shallow smile, a fake smile, as long as she smiles, she immediately reveals a pointed chin, which has become the standard melon seed face in the hearts of the Chinese people, and with the delicate facial features, it is like the reincarnation of Luoshen, the goddess of heaven descends to earth.

Seeing that she had no intention of repenting, the old man gritted his teeth for a while, and his beard was about to be upturned by her anger, and he snorted heavily, and only after a long time did he reluctantly answer: "It's okay!"

Xu Ruoping smiled like a flower, and once again went over, and said coquettishly: "I know that my grandfather loves me the most!"

"Pain is pain, punishment can't be avoided!"

The old man said lightly, Xu Ruoping's face was as white as gold paper, and in the face of his suddenly stern gaze, she had to obediently stretch out her hands, clench her teeth and close her eyes, and couldn't bear to look at it directly!

The old man narrowed his eyes into a line and said quickly: "Don't be nervous, the barbarian has been around for a little recently, and the punishment will give you another way, after all, such an adult is not like a beater!"

The barbarian is the name of his whip, the whip is as its name, and it will not save you half the effort when it comes to beating people, and it is arrogant and unreasonable.

Xu Ruoping was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she came back to her senses and asked tentatively, "Is there any punishment if you don't fight?"

The old man said slowly, "Silence for seven days!"

"What?" Xu Ruoping choked on a mouthful of saliva, and suddenly felt a little hot pain in her throat and eyes, "I have to go to the trial tomorrow, you don't let me speak, how can I get through the probationary period as a trainee doctor? I don't care, you still beat my palms? If I can't find a job again, it will really be a problem to eat after a while." ”

"Is it important to eat or to cultivate immortals?"

"Eating is important!"

The old man was angry with Xu Ruoping, and yelled at her: "If you don't have food to eat, won't you open the valley?" If you don't want to enter the WTO and follow me to practice wholeheartedly, you refuse, seeing that they are all mixed into the bottom of society now, I really don't have an eye to see it!"

After the old man finished speaking, he stomped his foot, opened the hidden door and rushed out.

Xu Ruoping had to remind him honestly: "Grandpa, you haven't punished me yet?"

"Punished!"

"Where?"

"That's the cup of tea you drink!"

The old man's voice like Huang Lu Dazhong gradually faded away.

Xu Ruoping wanted to say something more, but she felt that her throat was hot and painful, and she couldn't hold back a word for a long time, looking at the teacup on the coffee table that was not left with a drop of water drunk by herself, she had to secretly cry in her heart: "Damn, Jiang is still old and spicy, the next time I see him, I should run away!"

She fell on her back on the sofa, and a cockroach rushed out in a panic, and was slapped to death by her hand-picked up the book next to her, thinking with a faint resentment in her heart: "There are six billion people on the earth, why did this immortal cultivator choose me?"

During the trial work the next day, Xu Ruoping had to lie that her throat was inflamed and she couldn't speak, but fortunately, the results of the written test were okay later, and in this way, she passed the probation period without danger!
