Seeing this, the reader is probably also a little confused. It is necessary to add some explanation here.

The fact is that there are immortals in this world, and even better, the existence of immortals does not conflict with materialism.

In the long process of human evolution, many remarkable scientific achievements have been produced, some of which are difficult to even match with modern technology. The reason is very simple -- the development of science has always been multi-directional, not one-way, and the results will naturally be different depending on the path taken, and there is no superiority or inferiority here. Although the Industrial Revolution did not occur, ancient scientists did not just get paid and did not work. Although due to the constraints of conditions, their results are often relatively crude, and the theories are relatively obscure and even mixed with idealistic elements.

Among them, the cultivation of immortals probably best represents the highest achievement of ancient science.

Cultivating immortals is not mysterious at all, and according to the classification of modern science, it probably belongs to the life sciences, and maybe some other disciplines such as physiology, astronomy and geography. The main point is to exercise and strengthen one's own qi - a kind of life energy - and then indulge or influence other substances with qi in order to achieve one's desired goals - such as achieving eternal youth without paying for beauty salons, etc.

The first immortal recognized and historically available was the red pine nut of the early Han Dynasty, not the Fenghou or Peng Zu during the Yellow Emperor period. Of course, to explore this question, we must first determine the criteria for immortals. In this regard, the Western standard is more accurate and has a false surname. By Western standards, a practitioner with 50,000 Tevorm aura is recognized as an immortal. (Tvorm is a unit of aura strength, which refers to the amount of aura possessed by a person who is in good health between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two) By the way, people who have successfully practiced in the West are called wizards, and due to different cultivation methods, none of the wizards in the West can reach the 50,000 Tvorm aura standard. However, the practice of wizards also has its own merits; the Eastern standard is more casual and vague, at first it was stipulated that the cultivation to immortality is considered an immortal, this standard, just think about it, you know that it is impossible to implement it at all - who knows when and when the immortal world is created? Therefore, later, after the immortal world was created, the standard was revised to: can open the door of the immortal world with one's own aura and enter the immortal world, that is, be recognized as an immortal. And the minimum amount of gas required to open the gate of the fairy realm is about 50,000 Tevorm.

When it comes to the immortal realm, we have to mention Master Qingyun. Before the creation of the fairy world, the immortals hid in the deep mountains and old forests to avoid the hustle and bustle of the world. But even so, it is still impossible to avoid the disturbance of the immortal learners. Those who learn immortals have a will harder than iron, a sense of smell that is more sensitive than the paparazzi, and a behavior that is more fanatical than that of the star-chasers, which always annoys the immortals. The practice of wizards is less demanding for beginners, but it is not something that can be learned by anyone, and the practice of immortals has higher requirements for beginners, which means that immortals are simply helpless for most enthusiastic learners. This embarrassing situation was finally broken by Master Qingyun. Master Qingyun, a native of the early Tang Dynasty, was about the same age as Wu Zetian, came into contact with immortal cultivation at the age of seventeen, and practiced for sixty years to become an immortal. Around the end of the Tang Dynasty and the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Master Qingyun organized the first joint action of the immortals in history. To put it simply, they blew a bubble on the structure of the space, and then established the fairy realm in this bubble. Of course, this place is impossible for any immortal scholar to find and not enter. The gods were ecstatic. Although Master Qingyun's cultivation level was only in the top of the middle among all the immortals, this did not prevent him from becoming the leader of the immortal realm from then on.

Now, it is this person that Wu Ge is going to meet, and the three people who took him there are three famous immortals: Sun Wukong, Jigong, and Lu Dongbin.

The group soon came to a courtyard and stopped in front of the garden gate.

"I'll go in, and you two will stay. Sun Wukong said.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Master Qingyun. ”

"That Lu Dongbin stayed. ”

"Why do you have to keep someone?"

"Somebody has to watch this kid, right?"

"I don't think he can run, and he can't. ”

"Okay, let's all go in. ”

The three of them crowded into the garden gate, and no one thought to explain anything to Wu Ge. Silence surrounded him from all sides, and he sighed blankly as he began to study the landscape around him.

As soon as he entered the immortal realm, Wu Ge felt that this place was different from other places. For example, everything is ...... here It's exceptionally clean, as if you've just rinsed it with water and then carefully wiped it with a sponge and velvet. He tried to observe a leaf and found that every part of the leaf was so perfect that he could have a report on the deeds of the plant world. But when he casts his gaze into the distance, there is an uncomfortable feeling that he can't explain. It feels like, it's like...... Seasickness! This feeling is closer to what he feels at the moment, but there are some differences. He looked into the distance, and he always felt that he had found something but was always separated by such a layer, which made him quite unwilling, so he stared at the horizon and looked at the ......

Therefore, when Sun Wukong and them came out, Wu Ge was already a little unstable.

"Haha, kid, you're lucky...... Well, why is his face green?"

"I don't know...... Oh, he stared into the distance. ”

"I said this was not right, and we should have a good revision of the original design. ”

"Okay kid, look no further, that's not going to do you any good. ”

"Huh?" Wu Ge retracted his gaze, dazed.

"Why?" he asked.

"Because...... Well, you'll find out when you stay a little longer. Now, well, I'm going to tell you something else. That is, although your qualifications are not high, you ......"

"But Master Qingyun thinks you are a manufacturable material......"

"And it's important for the future of the fairy world, so ......"

"We're going to take you as an apprentice. ”

"What?apprentice?" Wu Ge was a little sober, "What apprentice?carpenter, blacksmith......"

Sun Wukong knocked his forehead with his fist. "Why don't you know anything until now?

"God ......" Wu Ge stepped back. He still didn't believe that there were gods in the world, although he believed that the people in front of him were definitely not ordinary people - one of them must have been a madman, the one who had punched him on the head with his fist.

"It's fun to be a fairy. Jigong came up and persuaded him.

"And there are quite a few benefits...... For example, you can live forever. Lu Dongbin also joined in.

"But ......" Wu Ge looked at the three people at a loss. But, what?" "Is that okay?

"Alright, don't bother. Hurry up and apprentice. ”

Sun Wukong got impatient.

"Yes...... But I don't want to be a god. ”

"What?"

The three immortals were stunned.

"Why?"

"What's so bad about being a god?"

"Our immortal realm has confiscated apprentices for hundreds of years, and you are very, very lucky. ”

"What do you want to do if you don't become a fairy? Hmm......?

Wu Ge was a little angry, he blocked Sun Wukong's hand and said loudly:

"What I want to do is my own business, I can choose for myself, I have the right to ......"

Sun Wukong's chin is elongated.

"What do you say? What do you have?" He asked.

"I said I had the right to ...... Oops."

Wu Ge held his head in both hands, and Sun Wukong's fist rained down.

"Hmph, I dare to threaten the master before I have apprenticed, I am so bold! I don't want to teach you a good lesson......"

Jigong hurriedly protected Wu Ge, and Lu Dongbin also stepped forward to pull Sun Wukong away. But before that, Sun Wukong took out a handful of dust out of nowhere and knocked it a few times.

"Brother Dao, why is this?" Lu Dongbin persuaded. Since ancient times, he has been saying that 'the twisted melon is not sweet', and he has to be willing to do so."

"Hmph, he dared to threaten me." Sun Wukong was indignant." Didn't you listen to him, he has fist power! Hmph, I don't have fist power?"

"Brother Dao, you are mistaken, he is talking about power, not fist power."

"yes, it's the power of the fist! I'll let him take a good look at my fist power......"

"Brother Dao, listen to me, the mortal world is very different from the past, people have a lot of rights, such as the right to vote, the right to work, the right to property, the right to **, the right to education, the right to choose, etc., what he meant."

Sun Wukong was dumbfounded. He had never heard of these "fists", which made him feel quite shameless. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully, hoping to hear a name he was familiar with, even if it was "Monkey Boxing". Although he has never hated it when someone mentions "Journey to the West" or everything related to "monkeys".

“...... You mean, he'll do all of that?" Sun Wukong pondered in his heart, one day, I will let this kid beat all these "punches" for me to see. It sounds like these "punches" are quite interesting.

"It's not that he can, it's that he does, okay, Brother Dao, in a word, he is definitely not threatening you, it is you who misunderstood."

"Oh, are you sure?"

"I'm sure, okay, little brother, get up, it's okay, don't worry, he's just not in a good temper, don't be surprised."

Wu Ge covered his head and stood up with bared teeth.

"I, anyway, I'm not a god!"

"Are you still strong, I don't think you should be ......" Sun Wukong's temper came again, raising the dust.

"Alright, alright." Lu Dongbin dragged Wu Ge aside. Little brother, the opportunity to cultivate immortals is something that everyone can't ask for, why are you so different?"

"I, I don't even want to live, what kind of immortal will I be."

"Don't want to live?"

The three immortals looked at Wu Ge again.

"Well, this kid is really angry."

"It's not anger, it's just resentment."

"Looks like he's not kidding."

"What's the use of dying, you have to come to the fairy world when you die, and you still have to apprentice."

“...... To be dead is to be dead, and there are no ghosts in the world."

Wu Ge argued, but his confidence was a little lacking.

"Since there are gods and ghosts in the world, what's so strange about them?"

"I knew you were going to say that." Wu Ge thought to himself, but he thought so in his own heart.

"So, now are you willing to learn?"

"I didn't say that!"

The last bit of courage vanished, and he gave in.

It's just that his heart is still indignant.

People have always regarded meeting immortals as a good thing that they can't ask for, but with his current state of mind, it is really not suitable for meeting immortals.
