Chapter 33 Two Immortals

The Laoshan Daoist was stunned for a while and then left with the sword, and then Zen asked: "Why does he ask you to save Wang Sheng?" This question is very curious, why do you say that a god is powerful for Lu to save a mortal? These eight poles can't be beaten together!

Chen Jiudao: "It's true that Wang Sheng is a mortal, but his grandmother is a fox fairy. ”

Liao Chan looked at Chen Jiu with a confused expression, "......?" What does it matter?

Chen Jiu said: "It's not because this kid fights with the little devil of the Demon Dao Fire Spirit, but he was invaded by the alien true qi of the fire spirit, the true qi of the fire spirit is different from others, and the sun god of cultivation is made of Rihua, which is extremely hot, as long as it is shot into the human body, it is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and it is extremely powerful." Need a kind of immortal grass or elixir to refine the true qi to remove the fire poison, and this happened to be used by that Wang Sheng, and his grandmother had that golden pill. ”

"Oh!" Zen suddenly realized, and said, "It turns out that I want to marry a fox fairy with Wang Sheng and ask for elixir?"

Chen Jiu said: "Yes! When he reaches the stage of transformation into a god, he is about to cross the tribulation, but he doesn't dare to slack off." ”

"I see. At this time, Zen gasped, the transformation period, this is the real power of cultivation!

Liao Chan became more and more curious about the identity of the Taoist, and immediately asked Chen Jiu: "Old Chen, this is a senior, who is it?"

Chen Jiudao: "This kid is Zhou Yunhe, the son of Qiyangzi of the Qing Palace on Laoshan Mountain, he and his senior brother Kaiyangzi are also called 'Laoshan Two Immortals', and both of them have the cultivation of the god transformation period. "Chen Jiu's seniority in the cultivation realm is extremely high, one generation higher than that of Laoshan Zhangjiao, so he called Zhou Yunhe a kid.

After talking for a long time, what about the identity of this Taoist with such great ability? Things have to be fundamentally talked about, if you want to talk about people, you have to talk about his senior brother first. He was not a monk of his own free will, but was forced to do so.

It turned out that Cheng Siming and Zhou Yunhe were both scholars before they became monks, and people still called them Cheng Sheng or Zhou Sheng at that time.

Zhou Sheng, and Chengsheng studied together when they were young, so they became very good friends. It's just that Chengsheng is poor, so he relies on Zhou Sheng to live all year round. In terms of age, Zhou Sheng is relatively old, so he is called Zhou Sheng's wife and sister-in-law. Coming to his house during the New Year and holidays is like a family. Zhou Sheng's wife gave birth to a son, but she died suddenly after giving birth, and married Wang, and Cheng Sheng did not ask Zhou Sheng to see her because of her youth.

One day, Wang's younger brother came to see his sister and had a feast in the inner room. Chengsheng just came. After the family reported, Zhou Sheng sat down and asked people to invite him. Cheng Sheng didn't go in, said goodbye and left. Zhou Sheng moved the banquet to the outside room and went to chase Chengsheng before he came back. As soon as he sat down, someone reported that the servant in the villa had been beaten heavily by the county official. Prior to this, the cattle of the servant grazing in the Huang Yuanbu's family trampled on the field of Zhou Sheng's family, so the servants of the two families insulted each other. The servant who was grazing in the Huang Minister's family ran back to tell the master that the servant who caught Zhou Sheng's family was sent to the official, so he was held accountable and beaten to the board.

Zhou Sheng asked the reason, and said angrily: "How dare the slave of the Huang family, a slave herding pigs, do this! His ancestors did things for my uncle, and now he has suddenly gained power, and there is no one in his eyes!"

Cheng Sheng held him down and stopped him, saying: "The way of the jungle is that there is no such thing as indiscriminate in the world. Besides, now the officials are like robbers, do you not pick up swords and guns to loot?" Zhou Sheng did not listen. Cheng Sheng persuaded him not to go again and again, so that he shed tears, and Zhou Sheng did not go, but his anger never subsided, and he tossed and turned in bed until dawn, and said to his family: "The Huang family bullied me, it is my enemy, let it go first." The county order is an official of the imperial court, not an official of a powerful person's family, and even if there is a dispute between the two parties, both sides must be reasonable, so why not follow the call of others like a dog? I will also take his servants to the official to see how the county order will be handled. The whole family encouraged him, so it was decided. I wrote a petition and went to the government office, and the county magistrate tore it up and threw it away. Zhou Sheng was furious and offended the county magistrate with his words. The county magistrate was moved and ashamed and angry, so he tied up Zhou Sheng. After the morning, Cheng Sheng went to visit Zhou Sheng, only to know that he had gone into the city to fight a lawsuit, and he hurriedly ran to persuade him not to do this, but Zhou Sheng was already in prison, and he stomped his feet and couldn't think of a way.

At that time, three pirates were captured, and the county magistrate and the Huang family gave them benefits and told them to fabricate that Zhou Sheng was their accomplice. According to this confession, Zhou Sheng was deposed as a civilian, and he was severely tortured. Chengsheng went to the prison to see it, and the two couldn't help but feel sad and sad when they looked at each other. Chengsheng planned to go to the capital to sue. Zhou Sheng said, "I was locked up in a prison, like a bird in a cage, although I had a younger brother, he could only deliver prison food to me." ”

Cheng Sheng stepped forward and said, "This is my responsibility, I don't give first aid if you are in danger, so what do you use my friend to do!" Zhou Sheng's younger brother gave him a gift, but he had been gone for a long time. When I arrived in the capital, there was no way to complain.

Legend has it that the emperor was about to go out hunting in a car, and Chengsheng hid in the furniture market in advance. After a while, the emperor's car passed by, and he knelt down to mourn his grievances, so he was allowed. Send a stagecoach to send him back and let the ministry hear the performance. More than ten months have passed, and Zhou Sheng has been tortured to death. When the ministry received the decree, it was very surprised and brought the case to trial in person. Huang was also surprised, so he premeditated Zhou Sheng's murder. So he bribed the guards and cut off Zhou Sheng's food, and when his brother came to visit, he resolutely turned him away. Cheng Sheng once again complained for Zhou Sheng to the ministry, and then the ministry proposed Zhou Sheng's interrogation, and Zhou Sheng was already hungry and couldn't stand up. The courtyard was furious and ordered the guards to be beaten to death with sticks. The Yellow Officials were very frightened, and paid thousands of taels of silver to Lu Shang to exonerate him, so that the Yellow Officials were vaguely pardoned. The county magistrate was sentenced to exile for taking bribes. Zhou Sheng was put back, and he and Chengsheng were even more heart-to-heart.

Chengsheng may be because of the poverty of his family, his idea of profit is very light, since he experienced this word lawsuit, thinking about a hundred years of life, time is easy, only then do he want to find a teacher to learn the Tao, to live himself. was already discouraged by his earthly love, so he asked Zhou Sheng to go into seclusion together. Although Zhou Sheng was born in a large family, it was difficult for him to let go of the worldly enjoyment, and he indulged in the young Wang all day long, always laughing at him for being pedantic.

Although Cheng Sheng didn't speak every time, his meaning was very resolute. After saying goodbye, I didn't come for several days. Zhou Sheng asked people to visit his house, and Cheng Sheng's family was suspicious that he was in Zhou Sheng's house, and neither party saw it, so they were suspicious. Zhou Sheng knew that this matter was strange, so he sent people to look for him, and the temples and Taoist temples were almost all searched. Zhou Sheng often used money and cloth to support his son.

After another eight or nine years, one day, Zhou Sheng suddenly heard a sound of breaking the air in his ears, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and a man stood still, wearing a yellow turban and a wide robe, dressed like a Taoist priest. Immediately startled Zhou Sheng, and was about to avoid the door, the man said, "Why is Brother Zhou avoiding me?"

Zhou Sheng listened to the voice very familiarly, and only then did he already recognize that it was Cheng Sheng who had returned. Zhou Sheng was very pleased, grabbed his arm and said, "Where have you been, let me find everywhere?" and then pulled Cheng Sheng into the house.

Cheng Sheng smiled and said: "I am idle and wild, and I have no fixed residence. After saying goodbye, you are fortunately still healthy. ”

Zhou Sheng asked people to prepare wine and food, and the meals were arranged, and Zhou Sheng knew that Chengsheng was learning the Tao, so he asked to eat meat and vegetarian. Cheng Sheng said, "I have been able to open the valley. After you finish eating, listen to my words and say goodbye. Zhou Sheng persuaded him again and again, but Cheng Sheng insisted on not moving the fireworks, so he had to let him.

Zhou Sheng didn't have the heart to eat, and only then did the two greet him goodbye, and Zhou Sheng wanted to change the Taoist uniform for him. Cheng Sheng smiled and said nothing.

Zhou Sheng said: "Stupid! Why do you abandon your wife and children like broken shoes?"

Cheng Sheng smiled and said, "No. Everyone will abandon me, and who else can I forsake me? "Yes, in the world, birth, old age, sickness and death, everyone will leave us, who else can we abandon?

Zhou Sheng asked him where he was practicing, and Cheng Sheng said, "Cultivate in the Shangqing Palace in Laoshan Mountain." He replied that he had never been a monk in his life, and whenever he met a person with genius and ability, he always did not hesitate to put his heart and soul into it. Therefore, he knew that there were sword immortals in the Qing Palace on Laoshan Mountain to cultivate, so he went to find immortals and visit the Tao, and finally worshiped Xuan Lingzi in Laoshan to sit down and practice swordsmanship.

Zhou Sheng said regretfully: "Isn't it good to be at home?

Cheng Sheng said: "I am looking for a teacher to learn the Tao this time because I have seen through the red dust. I think that life is only a hundred years in the world, like a white horse passing through a gap, it is like a dream. After thinking about it many times, I decided to visit the teacher to learn the Tao, and when the Tao is completed, I will come back to you again, and seek immortality together, so as not to reincarnate again. Because I know that the mountains and rivers of Laoshan Mountain are beautiful, there must be real people living in seclusion. I lived in a cave and traveled all over the mountain every day, where I could not get off the beaten track. If so, it took more than two months before I met my master Xuan Lingzi, promised to accept me as a disciple, and promised me to enter the Tao with you in the future. ”

After the two slept intimately, they talked at night with candles and talked about the night talk in the mountains. At the end, Zhou Sheng dreamed that Cheng Sheng was lying naked on his chest, but he couldn't feel his breathing. He was surprised and asked what he wanted to do, but Cheng Sheng didn't agree at all. He woke up in surprise and called out to Cheng Sheng, but no one answered. He sat up and groped for his life, and the empty space next to him didn't know where he had gone.
