Chapter 841: Nine Tests of the Immortals
"So very good, then it's so decided, Poor Dao and Donghua Shangxian have known each other for the longest time, this first try, why don't you let Poor Dao come and throw bricks and lead jade, how?" Su Xingxuan nodded and smiled when he heard this.
"As it should be, the Taoist will go by himself. Hearing this, the immortals nodded one after another.
"A cultivator should have the best mind, not be moved by external objects, and be mindful of the mind but not moved by the mind, which is the right reason. Su Xingxuan smiled.
Seeing Su Xingxuan's body turn, he turned into a beggar in rags and a mean face, holding a dog-beating stick, and walked to the door of the Lu Mansion slowly, and began to cry and ripple, "Is there anyone, is there anyone, is there a kind-hearted lord, reward me with a little bit of food, I haven't eaten water and rice for two days, please be merciful, reward me with a little food." ”
With Su Xingxuan's shouting, gradually, a group of people gathered in front of the Lu Mansion, looking at him like this, with such ragged clothes, gray face, and thin yellow muscles, but they all pointed at him, or disdain, or said something pitifully.
At this moment, I only heard a squeak, and the vermilion red door opened from the inside, and Lu Dongbin, who was dressed in white and like a son of the turbid world, walked out with a folding fan in his hand, and saw Su Xingxuan, but his face was as usual, neither disdainful nor pitiful, but calm, walked to Su Xingxuan and helped him up, "This brother, if you need anything, just say it, as long as I Lu Dongbin has it, I will not be stingy." ”
Hearing this, Su Xingxuan looked at Lu Dongbin more and more pitifully, and said tremblingly, "Kind son, please reward me with a little bit of food for my poor Huazi, I haven't eaten water and rice for two days, please, please." ”
"Okay, okay, just a little food, brother, wait a minute, I'll go get it for you." Saying that, Lu Dongbin walked into the Lu Mansion, and after a moment of effort, he came out with two plates of side dishes and a bowl of white rice, Su Xingxuan saw this, but it was like a hungry tiger pounced on food, and as soon as he took it in his hand, he devoured it.
"Brother, eat slowly, eat slowly, don't choke. Seeing this, Lu Dongbin hurriedly persuaded.
Hearing this, Su Xingxuan seemed to remember something, but he stopped swallowing, pushed the food in his hand aside, and began to cry.
Lu Dongbin couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this, "Brother Tai, what's wrong with you, why is this so, but what's wrong with this meal, how can it teach you to be so pathetic?"
Su Xingxuan said while crying when he heard this, "Childe, you don't know, I was originally from a big family, I ate delicacies from the mountains and seas, and wore silk and satin, but now I ended up like this, and my heart was sad, if I could eat the original delicacies of the mountains and seas, I would be willing to die." ”
Hearing this, Lu Dongbin's heart was relieved, and he said with a smile: "I thought it was something, it was just some delicate food, it was better to be like this, Brother Tai followed me into the house, and I will go to prepare, so that Brother Tai can get what he wants, how about it?"
"Really?" Su Xingxuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he was a little embarrassed, "But I'm dirty, how can I get into your mansion? ”
"That's okay, it takes a little time to prepare for food, so Brother Tai might as well borrow a cold house to freshen up, and it's not too tight. Lu Dongbin said with a smile.
Next, Su Xingxuan was insatiable, talking about washing, but he mentioned silk and satin, with silk and satin, he needed gold and silver ornaments to match, and with gold and silver ornaments to match, he needed silver money to make a living, just like that, step by step, he wanted more and more, more and more, and from being cautious at the beginning, to taking it for granted later, and then he was arrogant, and finally he was scolded, as if Lu Dongbin was his servant.
In this process, Lu Dongbin always kept his expression unchanged and handled it calmly, and did not change his attitude at all because of Su Xingxuan.
Finally, the others couldn't see it, and they accused Su Xingxuan, who had already changed out of the simple clothes and put on a brocade robe at this moment, and Su Xingxuan, who was even more embarrassed, seemed to be a little embarrassed under everyone's accusations, but he scolded and yelled at everyone, and fled in the midst of everyone's abuse.
Returning to the middle of the free house, the immortals laughed and said, "Daoist Su is really happy to be scolded this time, and he is also scolded." ”
Hearing everyone's ridicule, Su Xingxuan smiled, "Okay, okay, a few immortals don't make fun of the poor Dao, don't say anything else about this Lu Dongbin, this cultivation is excellent, giving alms to others is still abused, not to mention ordinary people, even you and I are the ones who have attained the Tao, and they may not be able to deal with it calmly, but he can be consistent, in terms of this heart, it is excellent, this trial, the poor Dao thinks he has passed, I don't know what your immortal family thinks?"
"Yes, yes, the heart is promising, the Taoist chief really has a deep meaning in this test, I Zhang Guo is ashamed of myself, and Lu Dongbin can be regarded as having passed this first try. Hearing this, Zhang Guo stroked his beard and exclaimed.
"In this case, this Han Zhongli is Lu Dongbin's master, so let him try Lu Dongbin next. Tie Guan Li said.
That's it, next, the immortals took action to test Lu Dongbin:
The second test: Dongbin returned from home one day and suddenly saw that his family members were all sick and dead. Dongbin has a large number of commissions, and there is no resentment, but the burial utensils are just prepared. The dead are all resurrected, and Dongbin is not strange.

Five tests: Dongbin sits alone in a room, and suddenly sees countless strange shapes, there are countless ghosts, there are those who want to kill the cave guests, there are those who want to kill the cave guests, and the cave guests sit dangerously, without fear. There are dozens of yakshas, and a death row prisoner is released, drenched in flesh and blood, crying and saying: "You killed me in the world, and now you should pay for my life." Dongbin said: "Killing people pays numerology." So he took up the knife and wanted to pay for it.
The sixth test: the spring water overflows, Dongbin and the people involved in the party to the middle stream, the wind and waves are surging, everyone is afraid, and Dongbin sits still.
