"Yo, isn't this Wang Banxian, what's the matter, there is a business?"

Without waiting for Wang Banxian to speak, the little second came up with a sneer, and the towel on his shoulder wiped the table.

"Go, go, quickly get Ben Xian a pot of good bamboo leaf green tea, and then a plate of five-spice fried beans, tell your shopkeeper, Ben Xian is not on credit today. With that, Wang Banxian took out some broken silver from his sleeve and knocked it on the table.

The little two hurriedly put away the silver, this guy has been drinking tea for many years, and always said that he would pay it back when he had money, but every time he repaid the money, he came to credit again the next day, it was endless, it was rare to be generous today, didn't he change his temperament?

"Come, serve tea to the immortals. The shopkeeper saw Wang Banxian also greeted the old patron with a smile.

There is no one in this tea shop who doesn't know Wang Banxian, this person opens his mouth to say what kind of gossip about the way of heaven, easy to count weeks, and people can't understand it, but they are also happy to see Wang Banxian, listen to him say some strange things about gods and demons, although they don't know whether it's true or not, they also listen to it.

"Half Immortal, today it was you who were deceived by the wronged boss again? It can't be these two young people, right?" the tea guest on the side deliberately shouted.

"Who deceives people, my Wang Banxian never deceives people!"

"Haha, I still remember that half a month ago, you told the fortune of the Li family, saying that he had fortune this month, but in the blink of an eye, other people's shops lost money, and you were almost beaten half to death by the Li family's servants. ”

Wang Banxian opened his mouth, but he didn't say half a word, his face turned red, he poured tea into the bowl, drank it all in one go, and coughed directly from the water, causing everyone around him to laugh.

"Young man, the half-immortal fortune teller can be called a quasi, he said that if you go to the east, you will go west, and if he says south, you will face the north, keep a quasi, and it is not a problem to be promoted and make a fortune. ”

As soon as these words came out, even the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper couldn't help laughing, Wang Banxian cleared his throat, no longer paid attention to this group of people, turned his head to look at Linglongzi and said, "What does the girl want to count, say it." ”

"I don't tell my fortune, I just want to ask one question. Linglongzi sat down and poured two bowls of tea, but she didn't drink it, just looked at the floating tea leaves in the bowl.

"Since the immortal Buddha is no different from mortals, then ask the immortal to ask why? Since under the way of heaven, everything is empty, why is life, and why is death?"

Xiao Shu was silent, he also had the same doubts in his heart, the closer he got to the heavens, the more hazy the road ahead, where was the mysterious and mysterious immortal road? Why did the gate of heaven open? What is the difference between immortals? Is what he lacks really only the answers to those seven questions?

"If I say that immortals have the creation of heaven and earth, the mystery of the sun and the moon of tomorrow, inherit the destiny of heaven and earth, live with the heavens, do not suffer from reincarnation, do not fall into the prison of sinking, and mortals live in the red dust, suffer from the eight sufferings, although they stand between heaven and earth, but they do not know the cause and effect, do not know the way of heaven, and it is difficult to get rid of reincarnation, are you credible?" Wang Banxian smiled, dipped his fingers in tea, and wrote two words on the table, immortal, fan.

Linglongzi didn't respond, even though she knew in her heart that what Wang Banxian said was the truth, but there was another voice in her head telling her that it was not so simple.

Xiao Shu carefully studied those two words, only to look at it for a moment and then felt that his heart was in a trance, the words were vaguely all-encompassing, and the red and mundane world were all in it, he even saw the scene of playing with Fang Jin when he was a child, and saw the sadness of his gray hair and lying on the bed.

On the other hand, the immortal word can't see anything, and the people are near the mountains, which is just an ordinary word.

"Do you know why I wrote the word Xianfan instead of Immortal?" asked Wang Banxian with a smile.

"The scope of human beings is too narrow, and everything is all-encompassing, birds, beasts, insects and fish are all in it, all things in the world are immortals, and those who lose their ways are demons, and they do not specifically refer to people. Linglongzi replied.

"The little girl is very perceptive, and in that case, you should also know that the difference between the immortal and the mortal that I mentioned earlier is just some stereotypes between the mortal. Wang Banxian looked like a teachable child, grabbed some beans and ate them rattling, once again destroying his image as a master in the world.

Wang Banxian pointed to the gradually drying water stains on the table and said, "The way of heaven is like this table, and all beings are like the water marks on this table, one day, the water will disappear, so I said that there is no difference between immortals and immortals in front of the way of heaven, and immortals and Buddhas cannot escape reincarnation. ”

"But to say that there is no difference between immortals and mortals, it is not true. Wang Banxian paused, and pointed to the table, the water stain dried completely, and the mortal character disappeared completely, but the immortal character still left a thin trace, and the outline could be vaguely seen if you looked closely.

"You're saying that immortals can leave traces, and mortals will disappear without a trace, but what's the point of that?" Linglongzi asked after looking at it for a long time, still puzzled.

Xiao Shu's heart moved, picked up the tea bowl in front of him, poured some water on the table, and the tea filled the immortal word again along the fine marks left behind, immortal is still immortal, and the side is just a puddle of water.

"The biggest difference between immortals and mortals is here, that is, the inscription of their own way, only the achievement of their own way, can be called immortals, those who only know how to practice the exercises, the pursuit of predecessors can not be called immortals at all, nothing more than a group of people with great power, they also have the creation of heaven and earth, the mystery of the sun and the moon, but they do not have their own way, nor do they have the foundation of the way of heaven, once the catastrophe comes, it will be like this mortal word, dissipate without a trace. Wang Banxian wiped his hand, and the immortal character was still clearly visible, and the puddle of water on the other side was completely erased.

"Young people, don't listen to Wang Banxian's nonsense, the difference between the immortals and us is that we make money to support our families, the immortals don't eat grains, and they can live freely without making money, he is a person who cheats money all day long and knows a fart. Seeing Wang Banxian's serious appearance, the tea guests began to coax and dismantle the stage again.

"Laymen, hum, it's really a group of laypeople, you know wealth in your mind, can you understand immortals?" Wang Banxian poured another bowl of tea angrily, and then poured it only to find that there were only sinking tea leaves left in the teapot.

"Ouch, we are laymen, and we can't fit these gods and gods in our heads, but you, an immortal, are not necessarily any better, you don't have the next meal after eating, you don't have to eat if you have the ability, and you say that we are laymen, and you say that the shopkeeper is not. ”

There was laughter in the tea shop again, and they loved to tease Wang Banxian, and dismantling his table became a trace of fun in a boring life.

Linglongzi just wanted to say a few words to return a few words for Wang Banxian, but Wang Banxian smiled self-deprecatingly, waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to, let Xiao Er add some tea, rubbed the tea bowl and said, "What can they do if they insult me, scold me, and laugh at me, that is, they lose my teeth, crook my mouth, cripple my legs, and break my hands, and this immortal doesn't care." ”

"Okay, this tea has also been drunk, and the immortal you want to ask has also answered, and the mountains and rivers have met, and there is a fate. Wang Banxian stood up, wiped his mouth, took out a white cloth out of nowhere and put all the remaining fried beans into it, put a bag in his arms, picked up the signboard that was placed aside, and walked out in three steps and two steps.

Linglongzi looked back at the old man's back and said, "He's really an immortal?"

"Who knows. Xiao Shu looked at the fairy characters on the table, picked up the tea bowl, the tea in the bowl gradually cooled, lost the fragrance, although the entrance was bitter, but it was also quite thirsty.

The two left the herbal tea shop, Xiao Shu counted the only silver taels left on his body, borrowed silver from Linglongzi, and bought a cottage in Muzhou Nancheng, although it is not big, and it is quite barren, but it is enough to live, and the two spent half a day in addition to the weeds in the yard, and it looks like they finally have a little appearance.

But this house basically cost the two of them all the money.

On this day, there is one more geisha in Xiangyue Building, whose name is exquisite, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all fine, and the poetry and songs are also quite popular, no matter who the guests are, she is masked, no one has ever seen her face, but the white hair is always eye-catching, some people think that she is from a powerful family, there must be something hidden, so she fell into the red dust, and even rich children want to redeem her, but no one has ever received an answer.

Xiao Shu thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think about how he should make money, and only after looking at the dozens of dollars left in his hand did he realize that what the tea guest said at that time was not completely unreasonable, immortals don't eat grains, and they really don't need to worry about these things, and they don't have the skills of Linglongzi, and the only thing that can be done seems to be only kendo.

However, if Xiao Shu's idea is said, he will inevitably laugh to death a group of people, and the dignified Tianxuan Realm master is worried about money, he is probably the first, not to mention anything else, just this martial arts realm, being a diner will be robbed of his head, where do you need to find something to do.

Xiao Shu relied on these dozens of dollars to survive for five or six days, feeling that it was never a way to go on like this, watching Linglong Zi make money every day, and also go in and out of various banquets from time to time, and even some people bid for thousands of gold just to get a glimpse of his face, there was something unpleasant in his heart, it turned out that except for martial arts, he was really good at nothing, and he knew that this was the case, and he should have asked the white envoy for charm at that time.

"What do you want?" Xiao Shu patted his cheek, exhaled deeply, walked out of the house again, came to Nancheng Street, looked at the crystal clear sugar gourd in the hands of the street vendors, and looked at the rest of the money on his body, or turned his head and walked towards the shop selling steamed buns.

"Little brother is here to buy buns again, how many do you want today?" The shop owner greeted Xiao Shu warmly as soon as he saw him.

"Four. Xiao Shu hesitated, took out two pennies and handed them to the shop owner.

"Little brother, have you heard, the new geisha in Xiangyuelou is amazing, it's only been a few days, and it has become the top brand, and even Liu Ruyan has been compared, tsk, it's a pity that we don't have money, otherwise I really want to see this person, why is it so evil." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Oh. Xiao Shu replied coldly, turned around and left with the bun.
