The third chapter asks how many encounters in life
"There are six pills of this medicine in total. Let my sister-in-law dissolve it with dew and take one pill every day at noon. After six days, her condition should improve." Wu Jie said, handing over an ordinary-looking porcelain bottle.
Give it to Lin Lushan. Inside are six gray pills the size of peanuts.
"Third brother, I'm really troubling you..." Lin Lushan took the porcelain bottle and carefully placed it in a hidden compartment on the table. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
Wu Jie looked at the white hair that appeared slightly on his temples and his bloodshot eyes, and couldn't help but frowned: "Lushan, if it's not the third brother, I'm too talkative. You can't go on like this! Look at your hair, look at it again
Your eyes...you have really worried too much over the years!"
Lin Lushan didn't take it seriously: "I am the Minister of Household Affairs of the Great Chu Kingdom, and I am in charge of a country's money and food. If I make a slight mistake, tens of thousands of people may suffer. It is natural to be careful."
"But you don't care so much! You are only thirty years old! You already have gray hair! Look in the mirror! You are no longer like the literary and elegant Kuixing Lin Duxiu back then!"
"I was still young and ignorant at that time." Lin Lushan smiled, with a bit of self-deprecation in his smile, "It is easy to be a talented person, but no matter how many articles or good poems you write, you can make more crops in the field.
A pound of grain? Can it give the people an extra mouthful of food and an extra inch of clothing?"
"So in the past few years, I have rarely written articles. When I write every day, I am mostly doing calculations and deliberation. I want to use every money in the most appropriate place so that the people can live a better life. This is enough.
Already."
"You don't have to be like this. I will help you repay the luck you advanced to humanity..."
"This has nothing to do with luck. Even if I don't want to repay luck, my actions will not make any difference." Lin Lushan smiled gently. He was obviously one year younger than Wu Jie, but he was much more mature than him.
"At the beginning, all I could think about was
I want to be famous all over the world and be remembered forever. But now I understand why when historians talk about "immortal things", they regard establishing virtue in the world as the highest priority, performing meritorious service in the country as the second, and establishing reputation in the country.
Learning only comes at the end.”
"What is humanity? Benefiting the common people is humanity. Now that I have this power and this opportunity, I should go all out. Third brother, I remember when I was a child, you liked to tell me stories. You once said that we should do
What kind of person."
"I didn't take those words seriously at the time, but over the years, I feel more and more that what you said made sense and was on point."
Wu Jie was stunned and couldn't remember what he had said.
"To be a human being, you must be a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who is free from vulgar taste, and a person who is beneficial to the people." Lin Lushan said slowly, "I was very young at that time.
You’re sensible, now that I think about it, these are really good words of wisdom!”
Wu Jie was silent for a while and could only sigh.
What Lin Lushan did was naturally right, and of course he understood this truth, but seeing the haggard look of his sworn brother, he couldn't help feeling sad after all.
Even though the other party is already a world-famous minister of Chu, an outstanding figure known as the pillar of the country, and a great talent with world-famous poems and poems, in his mind, Lin Lushan will always be that loyal and honest young man who often writes poems for a sentence.
The troubled stupid boy was his younger brother who followed him around and looked through old books with him to find out anecdotes.
The boy with the round face turned into what he looked like in front of him, and he was very sad.
He knew nothing about governing the country, and it was beyond his ability to keep the entire Chu country in good weather. He could only help Lin Lushan as much as he could.
For example, help him find some medicine that can alleviate Dan'er's condition and make him feel better.
The two brothers exchanged pleasantries for a while, then Wu Jie stood up and left, not even staying for lunch.
As an immortal, he is not suitable to stay in a minister's home for too long. This can easily arouse suspicion and attack from some thoughtful people in the court.
Although Lin Lushan is working hard at the moment, his achievements are also great. There are many people who are jealous of his achievements!
Before leaving, he hesitated and said the unlucky words.
"Um... Lushan, you have to know that manpower will eventually be limited. Even immortals are not really omnipotent..."
"I know that Dan'er's condition is almost at its limit, right?" Lin Lushan supported his three-year-old son, his smile a little forced, but still very strong, "We are all prepared for this."
Wu Jie nodded, thought for a while, sighed, turned around and left, disappearing into the air.
"Even the immortal formula tempered by Nanming Lihuo can't cure Mrs. Lin's disease, but it can only be delayed for a while. This is fate, not a disease. Such stupid things as changing fate against the will of heaven were something we missed once back then.
, Don’t make this mistake again!” Xiao Buyi looked at his depressed look and poured him a glass of wine with a smile, “Wu Daoyou, you are already a person who can see through life and death, how come you still can’t do it?
What are you worried about?"
Wu Jie drank the wine gloomily and filled it himself: "Her situation is actually that the demonic energy is eroded by Wenhua, constantly damaging its origin. If there are elixirs to supplement it, it should actually be able to maintain it."
"Yes, provided she cannot have children." Xiao Buyi sighed, "Have you seen her child?"
"Well, he is a very well-behaved and obedient child. He is as well-behaved as his father when he was a child, and he is a bit like his mother. He is indeed a good child!"
"She risked her life for this child. If your junior brother had been a step late that day, she would have been dead!"
"Junior Brother An's alchemy skills are top notch, but his speed is really slow!"
"You can't say that. The Golden Pill of Good Fortune, a magical elixir that can transform a person from weak to strong, is amazing if it can be refined, and it is even more of a favor if you are willing to take it out!" Xiao Buyi thought of something,
He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Your sect is really rich. Over the years, you have sent several kinds of human elixirs one after another. Especially the golden elixir of good fortune and the immortal formula this time, both are enough to
You are the treasure that causes small-scale wars among the casual cultivators!"
"No matter how good the treasure is, it is only for human use." Wu Jie didn't take it seriously, "I have lost the golden elixir of good fortune, but I still have two left of the Immortal God."
As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Xiao Buyi: "It's a pity that the more you eat this thing, the worse the effect will be. Six pills is the limit. Otherwise, it might really be able to save her..."
"Bereaved in youth, lost his wife in middle age, lost his son in old age, all alone, working hard all his life, alone, without friends... We borrowed too much literary fortune for him back then!" Xiao Buyi sighed, "
God is jealous of talented people, and hates great writing!"
"Looking back, we were too reckless at the time!" Wu Jie sighed sadly, "We didn't understand anything at that time, and we never thought of the principle of 'too much is too little'. There are many powerful people in the past who can change their fate against the will of heaven.
Yes, but who has ever done it to our level? It’s not that they can’t do it, it’s that they know the consequences!”
"But over the years, Lin Shangshu has been doing good deeds and doing countless good deeds. What's more important is that he hardly writes poetry anymore... I think his luck seems to be changing, and maybe he won't be so unlucky."
"Thanks to my fellow Taoist for protecting my younger brother all these years! Wu is very grateful!"
"I can't bear what you say. I want to find a place to live in seclusion anyway. Living in Changning City is quite good, and I can't say that I have much energy. On the contrary, it is the few notebooks given to me by fellow Taoists, but for
I gave you many pointers! Xiao’s ability to enter the realm of tranquility, and to fly in the clouds and mist in and out of Qingming in the future, is inseparable from the guidance and guidance of fellow Taoists. If you want to thank me, it should be me who thanks you!”
The meal lasted for almost two hours. Diners came and went in the restaurant, but no one saw the two immortals drinking in the corner.
By the time we had enough wine and food, it was already getting dark.
"Okay, it's time for me to go." Wu Jie looked at the rising crescent moon. The thin crescent moon was like his daughter's eyebrows. "On the fifteenth day of next month, I will go to Xiaoxingtian to participate in the Three Religions Performance.
.If I can gain something from this trip, maybe I can solve the trouble in Lushan..."
"Maybe I will go too." Xiao Buyi said, "Not long ago, Senior Brother Su came to see me. He said that Dumulin Old Banyan Master had recently succeeded in returning elixirs and planned to open a side sect of his own. He had already decided to join and invited me to join him.
Join us together. I’m thinking about whether to join.”
"Haven't you always wanted to have a sect? Old Ronggong has a good reputation, is a kind man, and has many friends. This sect should meet your requirements."
"But it is a sect of demon cultivators after all. As a human being, I am not suitable!" Xiao Buyi sighed, "Most of Old Ronggong's friends are tree spirits, and there are many who are 800 years old. I
As a junior who is less than fifty years old, I always feel very stressed when dealing with them... What do you think I should do?"
Wu Jie laughed loudly: "I can't make up my mind for you. You are the commoner who knows everything. Whether it's good or bad, you can see it much more clearly than me!"
As he spoke, he cupped his hands and walked out of the restaurant. His whole body turned into a flash of fire and flew towards the south.
Xiao Buyi watched him go away from the window sill, tilted his head and thought about it, then laughed. Then he returned to the wine table and sat down again, pouring himself a glass.
"That's right. Of course I should make my own decisions about my own affairs." He finished the glass of wine and his expression gradually became firmer.
"No matter how good other people's things are, they are not mine after all. Old Ronggong's sect may be very good, but it is not suitable for me, so it is in vain! In this case, I have to live up to Senior Brother Su's kindness."
After speaking, his voice gradually faded under the moonlight, leaving only the remains of cold wine and a small ingot of silver on the table.
