Wu Jie did not go home, but wandered around Wu'an County.
After walking for a while, he was suddenly shocked and noticed that there was an extra stall on the corner of the street.
A white-haired old Taoist who looks like an immortal is sitting behind the stall. There is a small black cloth bag and a fist-sized crystal ball on the stall, and the white cloth banner hanging on the stall has two big words written on it: Zhao
only.
In front of the stall, there were at least twenty or thirty young people lined up in a long queue. The one standing at the front was pressing his left hand on the crystal ball according to the instructions of the veteran, gritting his teeth and staring as if he was exerting force.
After a while, the old Taoist sighed, took a piece of broken silver from the bag to him, and then asked the next young man to come over and do the same thing.
"Xing Captou, what are you doing?" Wu Jie was a little puzzled. He came close to the elusive Xing Captou and asked in a low voice.
"That is Taoist Priest Sanshan, the Immortal Master. He was also from our Wu'an County. He went out to seek immortality a hundred years ago. Now that he is old and wants to settle down, he returned to his hometown and planned to recruit a few apprentices and build a Taoist temple to spend his old age.
Xing Baotou smiled and said, "It's a pity that he only recruits young people as apprentices. Otherwise, I, Lao Xing, would like to give it a try."
Wu Jie was stunned. This old man has been out seeking immortality for a hundred years? Then isn't he over a hundred years old now?
This is impossible...
Wu Jie's family has been practicing medicine for generations and is good at maintaining health. However, according to the family tree, the oldest ancestor in the family only lived to be eighty-four years old - in this world where living to sixty is a long life, this is already
It's a very remarkable thing.
There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Wu'an County, but the oldest mayor in the entire county is only 82 years old this year.
Although this old Taoist has white beard and hair, he is full of energy and energy and does not look senile at all. If he has lived for hundreds of years and is still so healthy, then he may really be a successful Taoist master.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt his heart beating two beats faster, and hurriedly ran over to see what was going on.
But before he could get to the front, Miss Du Ruodu, the child king of the county, rushed over aggressively, bumped the person at the front of the line, and grabbed the position at the head of the line.
"Tieniu, sister, I will be busy going on a blind date later, so please let me take a test first."
This reason was so terrifying that everything was silent for a while, and even the most dissatisfied people didn't know what to say. Du Ruo, on the other hand, had already imitated the actions of those in front of him and pressed his hands on the star on the stall.
On the crystal ball.
In just a blink of an eye, the crystal ball lit up
Wu Jie was stunned - the moment the crystal ball lit up, he instinctively felt that something was wrong, as if something dirty and dangerous had flashed away, and he subconsciously became suspicious and wary of the old man.
He wanted to persuade Du Ruo to be more cautious, but looking at her cheerful look, he couldn't think of any suitable words. What's more, maybe he just guessed wrong? Maybe the old Taoist is really an expert and really wants to accept a disciple.
Not necessarily
So he just made a note of it secretly, then said goodbye and left.
He left without hesitation, but the old man at the stall was slightly startled: young people are full of fantasy when they encounter an immortal master like themselves recruiting disciples, so they should come over and have a look. As long as they are willing to come over
, he was able to move his heart with just a few words - just like the young scholar before.
Judging from the appearance of the young man collecting herbs, he seemed to be somewhat interested at first, but why did he suddenly lose interest and turn around and leave?
"Who was that one carrying the medicine basket just now?" he asked casually.
"It's Brother Ajie from Wu's Pharmacy."
"He's the smartest man in the county."
"Brother Xiaoshan is smarter than him, right?"
"When it comes to reading and literacy, Lin Lushan is certainly better than Wu Jie, but when it comes to smartness... I think Wu Jie is better."
"The most important thing about a man is his fists, not his brains. No matter how much he reads, what's the use if he can't fight? When you encounter robbers or wild beasts, can you rely on knowledge to defeat them?"
"Anyway, it's useless if you can't fight, right, eldest sister?"
"certainly"
"No wonder the master said he was going to prepare a ring for you to compete in martial arts to find a bride..."
"Are you itchy?"
The boys and girls chatted and laughed, and soon the topic changed to a thousand miles away. But no matter what, Taoist Sanshan already knew what he wanted to know.
"The drug store... is smart..." The old Taoist stroked his long beard, with a slightly worried look in his eyes, "Doctors have been enemies of Qianmen since ancient times. I wonder if the people from the Wu Family Drug Store will ruin my business..."
According to common sense, Wu Jie had already gone far away at this moment, but these words seemed to have wings and flew into Wu Jie's ears.
He was stunned for a moment, as if there was a roar of thunder and lightning, and he turned around suddenly and rushed towards the stall.
But he only took a few steps and then stopped, with a look of relief on his face.
"It's the inner demon again" he muttered to himself as he closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
At some point, Sanshan Taoist had already walked in front of him. His appearance was like that of Zhenshi Zhenshi, the former headmaster of Qingyang Temple. There was no trace of evil in him.
"That's right, it's the inner demon again... This is your desire to seek immortality. What do you think of using this as your true intention?"
Wu Jie remained silent and did not answer.
"Everyone in the world seeks transcendence. In order to become an immortal, you can put aside family ties and friendships. In fact, it's not okay if you don't put them aside. You are immortal, but your relatives and lovers may not be able to. In the end, we will eventually be separated.
The inner demon's voice was full of kindness, "The road to immortality can only be walked alone."
"Let me think about it again." Wu Jie whispered.
The inner demon shook his head, but there was no sign of impatience on his face: "Okay, I have plenty of time, it doesn't hurt to think about it again."
Ripples like water waves appeared around him. In these ripples, all the scenery gradually disappeared, and Wu Jie's consciousness gradually sank into darkness.
The world of the Book of Heaven, the sea of chaos.
In the sea of chaos, there is a small piece of fertile farmland floating in the field. Some medicinal materials are sparsely planted in the field. There are also a few clumps of bamboo in the center of the field, and next to it is a small bamboo house.
The time traveler Wu Jie is sitting cross-legged in front of the bamboo house, concentrating on practicing Qi.
He concentrated his mind, felt the surging heat filling his body, and then used his thoughts to guide them to concentrate on his heart.
This is not an easy thing. The heat is just like a naughty kid in the first or second grade of elementary school. He is full of energy and disobedient. It often takes him a long time to guide a ray of heat to his heart and merge into the already
Condensed in the fiery air mass there.
Wisp after wisp, wisp after wisp.
Such boring training is enough to make most people in this world of immortals anxious and even lose their patience. But Wu Jie does not find it boring. On the contrary, he enjoys it.
As someone who has experienced the test of the pickle game, killing the same monster in the same scene over and over again all night, and then only seeing the experience value increase by one percent, or nothing exploding...Wu Jie was able to endure that back then.
This kind of thing can now endure the boring practice.
No, compared to leveling where the effects are completely invisible, at least the effects of practice can be seen, and the results of practice are far more useful and more satisfying than a few changes to a set of data in the computer.
Of course, maybe the above explanations are wrong, or maybe he simply feels that he has nothing else to pursue except cultivation...
Wu Jie has never studied psychology in either his past life or this life, so he cannot conduct a detailed and precise analysis of his ideas to reach a reliable conclusion.
A person can become a chef or a martial artist without a teacher, but he cannot become a Freud without a teacher.
Well, you can’t become an immortal by yourself without a teacher.
So when Wu Jie finally exhausted his energy and had to end his cultivation, the heat in his chest only grew a little bit.
He opened his eyes and sighed.
"Moli, can't you help me think of a more efficient way to practice?"
He is not opposed to boring practice, but if possible, he still hopes to change to a more efficient practice method.
Even if you grind monsters and level up, there are still technical problems.
However, no one answered.
Wu Jie stood up in confusion and saw a pile of green vegetables in the field not far away. Among the vegetables lay a snow-white rabbit, sleeping soundly.
"Wake up"
As he roared, the rabbit trembled, jumped up quickly, with a very human expression on its face, rolled on the spot and turned into a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in white.
This girl is snow-white and pink, exquisite and cute, especially her pair of soft long ears and big watery eyes, which are full of a feeling of weakness that makes me feel pity for her, making people feel the desire to protect her.
However, Wu Jieke remembered that when he saw her for the first time, his first reaction was not that he thought she was cute, but that he shouted "Monster"...
"It's master, do you have any orders? Is that blind guy here to mess with you? Kill his whole family." The rabbit-eared girl named Jasmine was obviously not awake yet, she said in a daze, and even hit her while she was talking.
He yawned and seemed about to fall asleep again.
Wu Jie frowned, grabbed the pair of long, curved and erect ears, and repeated his question.
This method was indeed very effective. Jasmine suddenly woke up, blinked her ruby-like eyes, and sat on the ground in an "I'm thinking" posture.
Soon, her eyes gradually closed and her body slowly tilted down.
Wu Jie grabbed her ears again, this time with a little more force.
So Jasmine immediately woke up again and gave a reasonable explanation: "Master, if you are not a disciple, I will not teach you a powerful method. It is true that we have offended too many people in the past life... In case someone sees something.
Come on, I don’t care in the world of the Book of Heaven anyway, what should you do?”
"It can't be such a coincidence," Wu Jie let go of his hand and muttered in a low voice, "Well, if only a little bit of the skills from the previous life could be left... No, even if there is a little memory left, it would be good."
"In that case, as soon as you are reincarnated, the Heavenly Tribulation will catch up with you." Jasmine made an explosive motion with her hands, "Boom"
Wu Jie imagined the scene of endless thunder hitting his forehead with great force, and couldn't help but break into a few drops of cold sweat.
"Am I really such a bastard, a scumbag, and such a bad person back then? Did I really offend so many people?" He changed the topic and asked again.
"It's more serious than you think. Think about it. Back then, you had hundreds of people with great supernatural powers, but when the catastrophe came, none of them helped. Instead, several of them tried their best to destroy you together to prevent you from overcoming the catastrophe.
, doesn’t this explain the problem?”
Wu Jie sighed silently, but after just a few sighs, Jasmine was already lying on the ground and fast asleep again.
"You're too good at sleeping, aren't you? Isn't it enough after so many years of sleeping?"
In fact, he also understood that Jasmine was not really sleepy, it was just because she was unable to act independently as a weapon spirit, and she was reincarnated on the earth and could not be contacted, so she had no choice but to sleep to pass the time.
Although all the memories and powers of his previous life have been wiped out with the catastrophe, he can still judge how long it has been through geography - all the geographical conditions that Jasmine remembers are inconsistent with the world today, and even the aura of heaven and earth
The concentration has been reduced to less than one-tenth of the previous level. It is unknown how many thousands of years it will take to complete such a great change.
He also asked Jasmine how many years had passed in the world of the Book of Heaven. Jasmine first counted the time with her fingers, and after a while, she drew straight characters on the sand to calculate.
After calculating for about ten minutes, she finally ran out of patience and answered vaguely: "It's been too long, I don't remember."
"Then there should be at least a rough order of magnitude. Is it a thousand years or ten thousand years? Or a hundred thousand years? A million years?" Wu Jie asked again.
"Hey, I can count from one to a hundred." Jasmine made a cute gesture with her big ruby-like eyes flashing.
Wu Jie didn't understand what she meant.
"I am the smartest rabbit in the world," Jasmine emphasized.
Then Wu Jie understood.
Fortunately, with the opening of the Book of Heaven world again, Jasmine's lethargy symptoms are slowly recovering. Wu Jie believes that as long as some time passes, she will be active again.
"Master, you see this ginseng tree is growing really well." Just as he was thinking deeply, Jasmine woke up at some point and dug out a ginseng tree as thick as an arm from the field. She said happily, "Now, let's
Come roast it and eat it. I like roasted radishes best."
Looking at Jasmine who suddenly became energetic, Wu Jie suddenly felt that at least she didn't have to jump around...
He kept shaking his head and sighing, but he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
If this continues... will my path to immortality really go smoothly?
