Chapter 5 Babel in Modern Times

Master Tongtian walked out of this cramped and crowded room and walked outside the door.

A strange, magnificent and strange new world is coming.

In front of you is a quiet alley.

Several lamps of unknown material were blooming with white light, illuminating the alley.

At the intersection not far away, a mortal man in short clothes was holding a handful of skewered meat and roasting it with a cattail fan next to a rectangular stove.

Several diners were sitting around a low table at the intersection, their mouths full of food and their faces flushed with wine.

When Tongtian Cult Leader reached the intersection, he saw a broad avenue that led directly to the north and south.

The buildings on both sides of the road are lined up in rows and very neat.

The street lamps, unattended, were hung on the tall iron objects, shining brightly.

On the road, from time to time, there are machines with two flashing headlights, whizzing in and whizzing away.

On both sides of the road, there are pine trees and pine trees, and flowers and plants are neatly arranged.

Leader Tongtian looked at it and was greatly surprised.

"How can the mortal craftsmanship in this world be so exquisite?!" He looked at the roads, buildings, and plaques in front of him.

There are lights everywhere, making the dark night look like day.

You can see exquisite and small things everywhere.

And the instruments that roared from time to time and sped away from the road in front of him even surprised the leader of Tongtian Cult.

It should be noted that the speed of these instruments is already comparable to the speed of many mortal monks flying in the air.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a huge roar came from above.

Leader Tongtian raised his head and saw a huge strange bird flying through the sky.

The strange bird's spread wings rested on top of its head.

It looks like an ancient demon!

Under the strange bird's belly, there is a light pole that flashes and extinguishes regularly.

Buzz!

The roar became louder.

And the leader of Tongtian Cult finally discovered that this strange bird was a man-made thing.

Watching it slowly fall into the distance and disappear from sight, Master Tongtian couldn't help but lick his lips.

This world gave him a lot of surprises!

"Mortals can travel around the world without practicing any skills by borrowing foreign objects!" He exclaimed, "It's really amazing!"

Although, in his eyes, the strange bird was a bit slow.

Don't even compare it with the demon gods from ancient times.

Even with many contemporary monsters, there is a big gap.

It should be noted that among modern monsters, as long as they can successfully transform into monsters, they can easily fly thousands of miles in a day and night.

However, mortals in this world can create such creations purely with their ingenuity and ingenuity without relying on magical powers. It is really amazing!

amazing!

……………………

Chen Hong hummed a little tune and grilled skewers leisurely.

His business is good tonight!

I have sold almost a thousand yuan worth of items, and after calculating the profits, I have made several hundred dollars.

And tonight's business peak is far from coming.

At twelve o'clock, people who work overtime in several nearby companies get off work, and it is estimated that they can sell items for at least one or two thousand!

In this way, you can earn thousands of dollars in one night!

After one month, I will have about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. After deducting the rent, water, electricity and expenses, I can still save more than 10,000 yuan. With the savings of the past few years, I should be able to make a down payment at the end of the year and own a home in this city!

Thinking this way, Chen Hong became even more motivated!

Grill the meat skewers and serve them to the guests.

Chen Hong's addiction to cigarettes was over.

He comfortably took out a cigarette from his pocket and was about to light it when he saw Xu Ji, the owner of a nearby convenience store, standing at the intersection, looking up at something.

Chen Hong laughed, picked up the cigarette case and walked over.

"Aji, what are you looking at?" he asked, taking out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handing it over.

Everyone is an old smoker.

We often smoke and chat together in the middle of the night.

However, Xu Ji is a little strange today.

He turned back and looked at Chen Hong.

The pair of eyes that used to be listless, as if they were not awake, are now exceptionally bright, like stars in the night sky.

…………

Leader Tongtian looked back at the mortals who appeared behind him.

The feeling in my heart is extremely subtle!

In his memory, this was the first time someone could appear behind him without him noticing.

Such a thing did not happen even before enlightenment.

Pangu orthodoxy, born sacred!

Those who are born can resonate with the great road, receive blessings from heaven and earth, and enjoy the legacy of Pangu.

From the day he was born, he was destined to attain enlightenment.

Therefore, no one in heaven or on earth can appear around him without being noticed.

No one can know or predict his thoughts.

Now……

A mortal, a mortal without supernatural powers or magic power, appeared behind him majestically, and he didn't notice it at all.

"As expected, I am already a mortal body!" Leader Tongtian sighed in his heart.

And the title of mortal also aroused the thoughts of Tongtian Cult Leader.

"Aji?" he thought: "Is it the name of this body?"

"So, before this body, I was indeed a mortal living in this world..."

"But for some reason, he allowed me to borrow his body to appear here..."

More thoughts spread out from there.

Then, an idea emerged in my heart.

"Who should replace my body?"

"Is this a mortal in the flesh?"

With thoughts flying in his mind, Master Tongtian looked at the 'cigarette' handed to him by the mortal.

He shook his head and refused: "Thank you!"

Then, he carefully looked at the mortal in front of him.

This man was very stocky. He looked no more than seven feet tall, but he had big shoulders and a round waist.

It's just a pity...

It’s all fat meat!

He has no muscles or bones and no strength.

"The human race in this world is really strange!" Leader Tongtian couldn't help but think.

His body is like this.

The same goes for the person in front of you!

Fragile!

Yes!

Fragile!

Forget about monsters, just a random tiger, leopard, or even jackal might be able to kill such a person easily.

Not only that, in the eyes of Lord Tongtian, the mortal in front of him was like a sack full of holes.

This person has an imbalance of yin and yang, so his liver yang is overactive, his heart and blood are weak, and his meridians are blocked.

He just looks healthy.

In fact, his foundation has been shaken and his qi and blood are deficient.

If this continues, in another three to five years, I'm afraid there will be lingering illnesses that won't go away. In old age, the liver-fire will become violent, causing wind, phlegm, and blood stasis, blocking the meridians, leading to disordered qi and blood, coma, and loss of limbs.

paralysis.

At this point, the disease has entered the bone marrow.

Unless a golden immortal descends to earth and uses magical powers to reshape his body and rebuild his meridians, there will be no cure!

Chen Hong felt a little scared when he saw this familiar smoker.

He put away the cigarette he handed out in embarrassment, but asked kindly: "Aji, what's wrong? Are you worried?"

As he spoke, he put the cigarette in his mouth, picked up the lighter, lit the cigarette, took a nice puff, and blew out a smoke ring as usual.

"Comfortable!" Chen Hong said cheerfully.

This is also one of the few happy moments every day.

only……

Chen Hong looked up and saw the convenience store owner whom he knew well in the past, looking at him with a look of pity and lamentation.

It made him feel like he was back in school, smoking with a few classmates in the toilet and being caught by the teacher.

Ashamed, scared, guilty...

He almost subconsciously dropped the cigarette in his hand on the ground.

Then, he felt a little embarrassed, so he could only cover up his behavior with a smile: "Your sister-in-law is always urging me to quit smoking these days to prepare for having children..."

"But I just can't help it!"

"You also know that once you become addicted to cigarettes, you can't control your mouth..."

Leader Tongtian looked at this mortal and dropped the 'cigarette' in his hand on the ground.

He nodded secretly: "It's not hopeless!"

"My character is not bad!"

Then he thought: "Maybe this person has some affinity with me!"

The matter of cause and effect is the most mysterious.

Now that I have fallen into the mortal world and lost all my Taoist body and magic power, I must be even more careful.

So, he asked: "Do you really want to quit?"

"Of course!" Chen Hong laughed: "I am already twenty-seven this year, and my family has been urging me to have a child..."

"But if I don't quit smoking, I'm worried it will be a hindrance to my children!"

"But it's hard to quit smoking!"

Leader Tongtian listened and thought secretly: "This mortal is really interesting!"

The poison of 'cigarette' is slow and intense.

It is indeed possible that Qi and blood pass through the lungs and the impurities and essence pass through.

As a result, when the fetus is developing in the womb, the innate spiritual light will be polluted.

If you are not careful, you will be born with underdevelopment and may die in infancy!

And from what I heard, this mortal knew that there would be such a result, but he was still captured by this 'cigarette'.

Just like the logo on the cigarette box.

Smoking is harmful to health!

Others write warnings on the boxes.

Mortals seem to have ignored the warning!

This makes the leader of Tongtian somewhat difficult to understand.

Fortunately, although it is difficult to understand the mentality of mortals in this world.

But back then, the Snail Emperor created humans.

He also watched from the sidelines.

The mystery of human life has no secrets before Him.

Even though now I have no magic power and all my magical powers.

He can still easily find many ways to get rid of the effects of the poison of cigarettes on mortals.

Then, Master Tongtian said: "If you really want to quit this 'smoking' poison..."

"I have an idea!"
