Chapter 4: Parting

The weather in Xinghua Town is particularly good today, the afternoon sun is warm, and some of the able-bodied men have changed into short-sleeved mattresses, exposing their arms with bulging blood vessels.

The business of the tea shop ushered in the peak period, and time seemed to be slowed down here, and the vendors of the stalls leaned on the steps behind them, looking at the clear sky, and the old people in the sixtieth armor crossed their legs and drank tea in small sips.

"Why, didn't you pass the selection? Don't be discouraged, learn to make wine with me, don't you like to drink apricot blossom wine the most!"

"I passed, but I want to enter Confucianism, the elder of the Changping Sword Sect is very good, and gave me a token, I can go to Zhulu Academy to report and enter Confucianism. Han Fan thought about it, only by saying this, the family would believe it.

Han Fan's words were like spring thunder exploding, and the comfort that his brother prepared was all stillborn, Han Fan's family knew about the selection, there was a chance to be a fairy, who didn't want to try, the children in the town would go to the selection every year, people always had to think a little bit about it, what if they were selected?

This is also the reason why the family doesn't pay much attention.,It's equivalent to buying a lottery ticket.,Twenty yuan of things to open five million bills.,It sounds like a big deal.,But if it's said that there is no one in ten thousand.,Is it not so big.。

"You...... You choose...... Are you chosen?" the elder brother did not notice the tremor in his tone.

"Yes. In contrast, Han Fan was much calmer, he took out the jade plaque and put it on the table.

The elder brother carefully picked up the brand, held it in the palm of his hand, looked at the material, it was not a vulgar thing, it seemed that what his brother said was true, and he suddenly felt that this brand would never get tired of looking at it.

"Daddy, come up, there is a great event!" the elder brother shouted at the top of his throat.

Han's father and Han's mother were still cleaning up the leftovers of the dishes and chopsticks after the guests had eaten, and when they heard the shouts of their eldest son, they responded:

"Clean up the table, what good things can be in such a hurry, let's talk about it after cleaning up. ”

"What else is the table, it's a good thing! Come on. The shouting was louder.

"Alright, okay, let's go up. Han's mother wiped her hands on her apron casually, and walked upstairs, Han's father followed behind, and her heart was also curious.

"See what this is, do you recognize it?" said the elder brother, as if showing off his treasure.

"Isn't it just a brand, all the fuss. Han's mother rolled her eyes.

"Oh, this kind of jade doesn't seem to be simple. Father Han had some eyes and said in surprise.

"Xiao Fen has passed the assessment of the Changping Sword Sect, but he wants to join Confucianism, and the gods have given him this token, so he is qualified to worship Confucianism!" said the elder brother excitedly, spitting all over the place, happier than making a lot of money in his tavern business.

There was another thunderstorm, and my brother was very satisfied with the expressions of his parents at this moment, which should be this shocked look.

After a long time, Han's father, who reacted, took the jade plate in Han Fan's brother's hand, and looked at it carefully, Han's mother wanted to reach out and take it, but when her hand was halfway out, she thought that the oil on her hand had not been cleaned up much, so she retracted her hand again, staring with wide eyes, wanting to see back the regret that she didn't touch.

Three hurried figures appeared on the street in the afternoon, it was Han Fan, his brother and father, Han's father naturally had doubts about Han Fan's words, and now he naturally wanted to find someone to palm his eyes, like the gourd on Han Fan's waist.

Fortunately, everyone knows that the sect has lowered the difficulty of the assessment, so Han Fan's selection made them classify this matter into an acceptable category in their hearts.

How can I say it, although the common people yearn for the glory and wealth of the gate of the powerful and the heavenly power of the gods on the mountain, who does not know how many catties and taels they have? After all, his own son is not a famous family, and the second elder puts his son at the level of ordinary people in his heart.

The three of them entered the street side of the house, and a dilapidated wooden plaque hung on itβ€”the Treasure Pavilion.

It is said that it is a treasure pavilion, but according to the villagers of Xinghua Town, they are all useless objects, although they are rare, they can neither give birth to silver, nor can they make people disease-free, so they are useless, right?

"Shopkeeper Zhao, how is the business?" Father Han strode to the counter, his voice loud.

"Yo, look at your posture, but you have found a treasure?" Sitting behind the counter was an old man who was said to have traveled the world when he was young and had a wide range of knowledge.

"Almost, hahahaha. Father Han did not hide the smug look on his face at all.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, don't worry about spending more silver, but be careful, it's troublesome. Father Han handed out the jade plaque in a serious tone.

"Hmm. Seeing that Han Fan's face was serious, the old shopkeeper stopped joking, took the jade card, and the moment he started, he looked very good!

"This ...... Where did you get it?" said the old shopkeeper, whose face was full of horror. This is the first time that Han's father has an impression of Zhao's shopkeeper!

What outsiders don't know is that this shopkeeper Zhao is actually a cultivator at the peak of the second realm, and he has been stuck in the ninth section for twenty years, as a cultivator, when the jade card starts, the long-dormant dantian is instantly activated, and even the bottleneck of the ninth section has begun to loosen, and there are signs of breakthrough.

"This is the token that the gods gave me this little son!" The moment he saw the shopkeeper's reaction, the stone in Father Han's heart fell, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and dispelled the last doubts.

The old shopkeeper's face was flushed with excitement, although he couldn't recognize the material of this jade plate with his knowledge, but the reaction brought by the jade plate had already let him know that this jade card was not simple.

At this moment, the old shopkeeper thought about a lot of things, and the dream of immortality that had been buried in his heart was turned out.

If you can get the jade plaque, will you be able to cultivate to the Five Realms and increase your lifespan by fifty years, if you are lucky enough to reach the Six Realms, it will be another hundred years of life, and then these ideas were rejected one by one.

In terms of his understanding, to be able to enter the three realms in this life is already the head of good luck, just with a brand, after all, it is a fool's dream, the dream of immortality that has been turned out has not yet dispersed the soil, and it has been sealed in the dust again, who has never had a dream? Who has not had a desire? Which salted fish has not thought of turning over? Is it really that easy?

"This is not a vulgar thing, it is better not to show off, otherwise it may cause unnecessary trouble. The old shopkeeper said with a serious expression.

Han Fan always felt that the old shopkeeper's smile was very vicissitudes, but he couldn't say why.

Although the shopkeeper's words did not tell the three people what the material was, it was enough to show its importance. Father Han hurriedly took the jade plate, carefully put it into the neckline, and stuck it above the belt.

The three of them said goodbye and left, and the old shopkeeper smiled helplessly, he was an old man, and it was time to accept his fate......

Han Fan's elder brother was watching the whole time, the old shopkeeper's reaction and his expression changed, and the old shopkeeper was not the only one who was active, and the greedy idea also flashed in his brother's mind: steal the token and become an immortal instead of his younger brother. It's just that this ridiculous idea comes and goes as fast as it goes.

There are some things that are better not to think about at all.

Thinking about the key to it, my brother smiled, my brother has a chance, and everyone in the family will follow him!

Han Fan naturally didn't know this, he walked next to his father, thinking about the future.

As for Father Han's heart, did he also have a trace of greed?

The answer is of course there is, this is human nature, desire is the most direct expression, Buddhism pays attention to the six roots of purity, no desire, firm Taoist heart. Isn't it just that I want to directly wipe out all kinds of desires once and for all, but in the end, isn't the practice of Buddhism still restraining desires?

How many people are truly desireless and thoughtless?

It is human nature to have desires, and life is full of practice, obviously, everyone has passed the level of greed derived from the jade plate.

That night, the family had a reunion dinner at home, and after dinner, the mother prepared a change of clothes for Han Fan on the way, and the father nagged Han Fan about the etiquette of treating people.

After consultation, the family decided to let Han Fan act tomorrow, firstly, because the immortals should not wait too long, and secondly, because the road was far away.

Originally, Han's mother and elder brother agreed to accompany Han's father, but Han Fan did not approve, claiming that the path of cultivation was full of thorns, and his father could accompany him for a lifetime?

Due to Han Fan's tough attitude, but his mother couldn't rest assured that Han Fan could say anything, in the end, both sides took a step back, and Han's father sent him to Yancheng, and Han Fan left the rest of the way.

It was late at night, and there were no cicadas outside the house, but Han's mother was sobbing quietly inside.
