Chapter 003 [Karma]
"Hmm...... What's wrong with me? Where is this?"
Zheng Tang, who gradually woke up, subconsciously covered his forehead, maybe it was a hangover, maybe he had just woken up, or because he had a long dream just now, which made him dizzy, and finally opened his eyes, but what he saw was a scene he had never seen before, he sat up and looked around, and his mouth was still chattering.

"Oh, finally woke up! You've slept soundly this night, but it's hard for me, old man. ā
A voice came from the side, Zheng Tang turned his head to look, but it was the storyteller Lao Zhangtou who carried a pot of wine and a few packets of snacks, and walked into the house with a limp, originally, Zheng Tang and Lao Zhangtou are not strangers, the two have known each other for several years, and the relationship is usually not bad, but at this moment, Zheng Tang feels that Lao Zhangtou is so strange.
But Lao Zhangtou didn't care at all, threw the things in his hand on the table, and then sat on the thatched ground as if he had exhausted his strength, and asked casually: "How much do you remember what I said three nights ago?"
"Three days? I slept for three days!"
"That's right. ā
"I actually slept for three days!But ......" Zheng Tang thought of what he saw, it was decades in the past and present life, even if it was a whole "fast retreat", but three days was really not too long, but in Lao Zhangtou's words, the focus was not three days, Zheng Tang asked a little puzzled: "What you said, how many are true and how many are false?"
"Hehe, what do you say?" Lao Zhangtou picked up the wine gourd, pulled off the stopper, smelled it, and asked with a smile: "What have you seen in the past three days?
Zheng Tang was dumbfounded, indeed, all signs show that what Lao Zhangtou said is the truth!
"But then again...... Lao Zhang looked at Zheng Tang, who was already very familiar, as if he had seen something that surprised him, and then said with a little emotion: "Your state of mind is not bad, seeing your past life and present life, you can still be so calm, looking at you like this, it shouldn't be reincarnation, well, better than me back then!"
Zheng Tang smiled bitterly and didn't say anything, indeed, let's just leave this life alone, if ordinary people see their past life, they must be confused if they don't understand, even if they know that it is their past life, but if they don't have memory, they will definitely be impacted, and maybe they won't be able to tell who they are.
But Zheng Tang is a bit special, he traveled to this world with the memories of his previous life, so for all kinds of things in his previous life, except for the one before the memory, which feels strange, the rest are just reliving the memory, and will not be affected by the previous life, or in other words, he is still the person in the previous life at all, but Zheng Tang thinks that it is better to treat these things as his own secret.
"Old Zhangtou, according to what you said, are there really immortals in this world?" Zheng Tang didn't want to entangle himself in his past life and this life, so he diverted the topic.
"Just like I said three days ago, there are naturally immortals, but ......" A trace of nostalgia flashed in Lao Zhangtou's eyes, he sighed, and then said: "If you want to become an immortal, it is even more difficult, many people call themselves immortals, and mortals also call them immortals, but in the end, they are just monks who are a little Taoist, and they are still far from immortals." ā
"You ...... that old man"
"I?hehe, when I was in my heyday, I was also a god in your mouth, but now I ......" Old Zhang Tou smiled self-deprecatingly and sighed, "It's just a lame bad old man." ā
Zheng Tang was silent, obviously, Lao Zhangtou is not an ordinary person, but that is already in the past, if Lao Zhangtou is really a fairy, how can he be lame, and how can he make a living by telling stories in a mountainous place like Hongye Town, as for what happened in the middle, Lao Zhangtou didn't say, Zheng Tang didn't ask.
"That'...... The matter of Zhengjiazhuang is also a fairy...... What are the monks for?"
"All I can say is quite possibly. When it came to business, Lao Zhangtou no longer had a hippie smile, he said: "After all, Zhengjiazhuang is a little far away from Hongye Town, and I don't know the specific situation, such a method may be difficult for mortals to understand, but if it is a monk who is a little Taoist, it is actually not difficult, after all, there are only mortals in Zhuangzi." ā
"In this way, isn't it more auspicious?" Zheng Tang was a little anxious, originally thinking that maybe there was some hope, but now it sounds, it seems a little elusive.
"Cultivators, according to the path they choose, can be divided into the right path, the devil's path, and the evil path. Lao Zhangtou did not answer Zheng Tang's question, but began to show off his cultivation knowledge again: "The righteous path conforms to the way of heaven, the evil way goes against the sky, and the devil way emphasizes that my life is up to me, not by the sky. ā
Zheng Tang was anxious at first, and then after thinking about it, he understood what Lao Zhangtou meant, and now he doesn't know who did it, so he can only guess, and the Sanfang monks naturally have different attitudes towards the people of Zhengjiazhuang.
"Righteous monks pay attention to karma, and generally do not do such things, even if they need some miscellaneous servants or outer disciples, they will directly go to the secular world to recruit, and mortals in the secular world will sharpen their heads and squeeze in, so the righteous path sect is not short of manpower, and there is no need to forcibly plunder. ā
"But the reputation of the Demon Dao and the Evil Dao is not very good, if it is a disciple, the recruitment is quite smooth, but the miscellaneous servants can only be robbed, although the Demon Dao monk is ruthless, but it is not difficult to survive, but if it is taken away by the evil Dao monk, it will be a little troublesome, in the evil Dao exercises, there are many means of using living sacrifices, and the people who are forcibly brought back by them can rarely have a good end. ā
There is no motive for the righteous path, it can be ruled out, the demon path and the evil path are open, Zheng Tang probably understands, everyone in the village must be more auspicious, but at least, there is still half of the possibility of survival, as long as he lives, there is hope of being rescued!
Thinking of this, Zheng Tang looked at Lao Zhangtou, no matter why the people in the village disappeared mysteriously, if Zheng Tang wanted to save people, he must become a fairy in the mouth of mortals, and with Zheng Tang's more than ten years of experience, Lao Zhangtou is already the person he knows who is most related to immortals.
"Want to save people?"
"Yes!"
"Want to be a god?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, I'll teach you!"
"Hey?" "So easy?" Lao Zhangtou agreed so easily, but it made Zheng Tang hesitate a little: "Why is this?"
"Didn't I say that? Righteous monks pay attention to karma, when I was in exile here, you invited me to eat the first full meal in many days, that is the cause, I taught you to practice, this is the effect, if you don't repay the kindness, it will eventually become a crack in my state of mind, besides...... I don't have much time left......"
