Immortal, I have mediocre qualifications

Forty-nine cities.

It rises from the plains, like the towering and majestic Black Mountain Mountain. Inside, a big river surges away, originating from Longjiao Mountain. It is really a sight to behold.

The layout of this place is not bad.

Chen Sheng, who was sitting on the white crane, floated over, his eyes lowered, revealing a look of surprise.

The layout of the Forty-Nine City has the feeling of a blessed land, that is, the concentration of spiritual energy is not high, otherwise there must be an expert establishing a sect here.

There are many monks, and there seem to be one or two who are in the Foundation Establishment Realm. They are hidden very deep and cannot be determined.

Lvzhu is a Foundation Establishment Realm monk with a keen spiritual sense. She has captured the auras of many monks in the Forty-Nine City. One or two of them are hidden very deep. They are too far apart and she cannot accurately detect them.

Is it also for the inheritance of the second-level alchemist?

Chen Sheng pondered for a moment, then quickly ignored it and said, There are still two or three days before the auction starts. Find a place to stay first.

The two of them went down to Forty-Nine City. When they looked up, they saw tall wooden buildings with dense crowds. It was really prosperous.

Red Line Building!

Green Pearl glanced around and saw that there were cookie-cutter buildings everywhere, so he had to find a restaurant to stay at.

Then, she saw the name on a certain plaque and was immediately moved.

This name suits me quite well.

Chen Sheng probably guessed what Lu Zhu was thinking. A thousand-mile marriage was tied by a thin thread, and there was a red thread between them.

With this in mind, if I meet you today, I won’t put it away.

Two distinguished guests, are you staying in the hotel?

In the Red Line Building, the shopkeeper is a rich old man, sitting there with a warm look.

Hearing the movement, he glanced casually, then his expression changed, a smile appeared on his face, he grabbed the boy and hurried up to receive him.

I want a room, something better.

Chen Sheng nodded slightly as a greeting.

This action made the shopkeeper feel flattered and became cautious.

When he saw this, he stopped talking nonsense and said what he needed directly.

The room at Tianzi No. 2 is vacant. It's guaranteed to be the best. I'll take you two there right now.

The shopkeeper walked in front and guided Chen and Sheng to room No. 2 in Tianzi.

This is a very nice room with a good view. Through the window, you can see the river and mountains, as well as the bustling street market, and feel the atmosphere of mortals.

If you want to be clean, close the doors and windows, and a simple soundproof array will appear to block the noise from the outside world.

good.

Chen and Sheng went in and took a look around, and were very satisfied.

You two, I'm stepping down. I just need to tell you something.

After receiving the compliment, a smile appeared on the shopkeeper's face, as well as a touch of relaxation.

Before leaving, he kept saying that if he had anything to do, he could just go to the counter and give instructions. After getting the promise, he quietly left.

A cultivator who plays with the world of mortals.

Chen Sheng could tell right away that the shopkeeper was an immortal cultivator. His level was not low, and he was at the peak of the fifth level of Qi refining.

It is really unusual for such a person to open a restaurant in a human dynasty where high officials and rich salaries are easily available.

Eternal life is a fantasy. In his eyes, glory and wealth are fleeting. It's better to live a more relaxed life.

Lvzhu knows how these people think, and they already have a very indifferent view of things on the material level.

Immortality is not available, so one can only pursue peace of mind.

Perhaps, the other party likes this kind of living state.

Shopkeeper, you are an expert at the fifth level of Qi Refining, how can you compete with me for work?

Here, the boy was a little aggrieved and worried when he saw the shopkeeper coming down. Judging from the rhythm, he was afraid that he was going to the accounting room to pay and leave.

Doesn’t it mean that all immortal cultivators are superior?

How come you are so skilled at riding in front of and behind the saddle!

That's an expert, much more powerful than me.

The shopkeeper is usually gentle with others and does not show off his authority to the servants. He explained the reason.

The aura of the man and the woman was very restrained. He didn't know what level of cultivation they were, but their demeanor and calmness showed that they were not simple people at first glance.

It's always right to hold it carefully.

It seems that the operation of Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce is quite successful this time, attracting so many master monks.

The boy has been in the store for several years. With the advice of the shopkeeper, he learned about some immortal cultivators in Sijiu City.

The inheritance of the second-level alchemy master was extremely precious, and the Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce reluctantly released it, but it really caught a big fish and attracted many immortal cultivators.

After this time, the influence of Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce will reach a higher level.

not necessarily.

The shopkeeper shook his head.

He is from Sijiu City. He left after practicing Taoism as a young man and returned in his later years. He knew that there were some secrets here.

Shopkeeper, what else is there besides this?

The boy asked curiously.

Has the room been cleaned? Are the ingredients in the kitchen ready? I will be nagging all day long.

This time, the shopkeeper showed some authority and asked questions, so that the boy didn't dare to talk anymore. He quickly picked up the broom and went straight to the corridor.

At night, Chen Sheng and Lu Zhu did not practice Qi, but hugged each other and slept like a mortal couple.

Each became familiar with the other's presence.

Time passes.

The sun in the sky gradually moved away, and the sparkling waves on the river, and the extremely warm sound, spread in all directions.

Chen got up and saw the picturesque side of the world.

Also, the bustling flow of people gathered together and headed towards Longjiao Mountain.

The shopkeeper, all the ordinary people are going to the mountains.

After going downstairs, Chen Sheng asked about it.

They went to the Linglong Empress Temple to ask for fish talismans.

The shopkeeper didn't dare to be perfunctory, but explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

April 7th is Linglong Empress’ Day.

On this day, men, women and children in the city would go to Longjiao Mountain to worship the Linglong Empress in the temple and ask for fish talismans.

Then at night, the fish talisman you asked for is placed on the lantern and floats down the Xilong River, which means that the family will have long luck, no illness or disaster, and a happy marriage.

Ms. sir, we are also going to visit the Linglong Empress Temple.

Hearing this, Luzhu's eyes lit up, Linglong's Mother's Day was so to her liking.

The things she blesses are her favorites.

A cultivator goes to worship God?!

There was a hint of surprise in the shopkeeper's eyes. As immortal cultivators, they were more powerful than the statues of gods in mortal temples.

There is no need to ask for external things.

You know, this is a spiritual sustenance.

Chen Sheng was a little dumbfounded. Immortal cultivators possess great power and are knowledgeable about heaven and earth. They know that there are no gods in the world and worshiping gods is useless.

However, the ignorance of ordinary people has treated it as a kind of spiritual sustenance, and it continues to this day.

Isn't this good?

Luzhu asked rhetorically.

That can bless a healthy family and a happy marriage.

It is also good to seek comfort.

Go, go right now!

Chen Sheng rarely refuted Lu Zhu's words. Whatever she said was what she said, and it was the same this time.

In this way, two young figures appeared among the bustling crowd on the street.

Lvzhu casually sold an umbrella and used it to protect herself from the sun, just like a girl in this world. She was in high spirits and very happy all the way.

Chen Sheng's gentle smile will always remember this day.

Longjiao Mountain.

It is no more than a hundred feet high, the mountain is flat and there is no danger, and the mountain path is made of stone steps, which is very convenient.

Households, couples, and crowds of people.

Chen Sheng and Lu Zhu were crowded in the crowd, feeling a little inconspicuous. After spending most of an hour, they finally saw the Linglong Empress Temple.

The temple is not new and does not occupy a large area, but it can be seen that it is extremely sincere. The beams and stones are all top-notch and can last for thousands of years.

There was a large cauldron placed in the hall, filled with clouds and smoke, and the burning incense shone like stars in the sky.

In the middle and inside, there is a clay sculpture that looks like a female fairy. There is a temple next to it, which is very old.

Chen Sheng took a look and knew that there was no trace of extraordinary beings. The statue was made of clay, and Miao Zhu was an ordinary old man.

This place is caused by folk beliefs.

Some people agree with him on this view.

That's a scholar.

You have such old-fashioned ideas. There is no God in this world. It's better to rely on yourself than to ask for help. I'll take you to get some medicine.

The scholar spoke kindly to the village girl in front of him, who was also his wife.

When you are sick, just take medicine and you will be cured, not gods in temples.

On the contrary, if you inhale too much incense, it will damage your lungs.

As a patient, you should not come to such a smoky place.

Take medicine, take medicine, no matter how much medicine you take, it may not make you better.

The village girl did not shy away from the scholar husband, and showed the demeanor of a man marrying a matchmaker. She insisted: Empress Linglong has great power and will protect me.

She didn't really believe in gods wholeheartedly, but the disease was like a gangrene on the bones, and it was difficult to get rid of the root cause. She took too many medicines over and over again, but they were all useless.

That's a clay and wood sculpture. How can I bless you?

The scholar retorted.

You don't understand. Lady Linglong has always existed in the Four-Nine City. There have been no floods in the Xilong River for eight hundred years. The weather is going well, and every household can eat, and it also gives you the opportunity to study. .

The village girl was not polite at all. She listed the reasons in detail, and then accused her, saying: You have read the book and understood the truth, but you come to slander Empress Linglong. This is not right.

Empress Linglong has a long history and has been deeply rooted in the hearts of people here for hundreds of thousands of years. No matter how stubborn the old master is, she must be respected.

Although she didn't firmly believe it, she didn't believe it either.

The lack of floods is due to climate change and has nothing to do with Empress Linglong.

The scholar talks about floods and climate. Although these are intangible, they are real.

It doesn't matter, then why did Sijiucheng become better after Empress Linglong appeared?

The village girl insisted.

Chen Sheng heard it interestingly, but he had his own opinion and said: Maybe it was a Taoist friend passing by who couldn't bear the suffering of the people, so he used magical powers to regulate the wind and rain. Later, people remembered her and built a temple. , and after hundreds of years of folk evolution, it has become what it is today.”

In cultivating immortals, people compete with heaven for their fate, and there is no time to waste, so they only care about themselves.

But it is undeniable that in this world of immortality, there are still a few sages who care about the people of the world. They use the power of control to clarify the changes in the earth's atmosphere for the living people, separate the yin and yang, and rebuild the mountains and rivers.

After the death of such a person, the people enshrine him, and for thousands of years, he has been worshiped and worshiped, and he becomes a god.

I'm furious.

While thinking, the village girl couldn't argue. She was so angry that she touched the root of the disease and coughed several times.

Okay, I guess you're right,

Seeing this, the scholar shut up and was convinced. He was cautious and did not dare to jump at all.

It can be seen that he still loves this wife very much.

Brother and wife, they are truly role models in the world.

Chen Sheng found it strange that the two people had different cognitive views, but their bumping into each other did not hurt their feelings and they became more harmonious.

This is rare, I think it is a marriage with a story.

Made my brother laugh.

The scholar looked sideways and saw Chen Sheng, and was amazed by his temperament.

It's not that the person here has the appearance of a celestial being, but that kind of demeanor, with a hint of heaviness in it, is like the fragrance of wine after settling, and it is very flavorful.

Why are you two together?

Luzhu looked at this mortal couple and could see that they were very happy, but their identity combination was very strange.

Generally speaking, this won't last long.

Well, we are neighbors. When I was studying, I almost starved to death. She only supported me for ten days and a half, carrying a small bag of grain on her back.

The scholar told an old story. This was his childhood sweetheart who saved his life. Although he was a bit less knowledgeable, he never disliked it.

He didn't eat less of the bags of grain back then, and he was already gagged.

Not ashamed either.

The village girl was not really unreasonable. She was also anxious about the disease, so she went out to pray to God.

When I heard the scholar talk about what happened back then, I felt a little shy. I stood behind him with a red face and lowered my head.

They are a very loving couple. Please treat them.

Lu Zhu was extremely moved. Ever since she met Chen Sheng, the last thing she wanted to hear was the love and hatred between men and women.

It's a big help if you can.

With Chen Sheng's alchemy cultivation, he could easily treat the injuries and illnesses of ordinary people.

Brother, do you know Naqi Huang's technique?

The scholar also paid great attention to the word physician, so that his poor wife could be cured.

Over the years, I have sought countless medicines, but all of them came back with disappointment.

Even so, he never gave up.

For the human world, it's quite powerful.

Chen Sheng told the truth, glanced at the village girl, and said, This girl has blood stasis, caused by overwork in the past.

It's no wonder that ordinary doctors can't cure it. This disease is caused by too much consumption of the body's origin.

Even if you can make up for it later, you will never be able to return to its original appearance.

Yes, yes, it can be cured.

The scholar said excitedly.

After his wife married him, she lived in poverty for a period of time. Although she is getting better now, it was really hard at that time. She had to take care of the family every day and subsidize the family income.

Overwork leads to the root of the disease.

Chen Sheng saw the root cause at a glance, which made him feel a little more convinced.

Brother, believe me, take this medicinal powder with water, once a day, drink it in three days, and you will be fine.

Chen Sheng found an elixir for treating injuries and illnesses in his storage bag, broke it into powder, put it in a jade vase, and gave it to the scholar.

Prescribe the right medicine, and use a panacea. Three days is enough.

How much? I'll give it.

The scholar is in a hurry and wants to pay.

He may not believe in this medicine, but as long as there is a slight possibility, he will try it.

No need.

Chen Sheng smiled, turned around with Lu Zhu, and disappeared into the crowd of Xi Ran, never to be seen again.

after.

Chen Sheng and Lu Zhu entered the temple and paid homage to Empress Linglong.

Chen Sheng was a humble believer, so he bowed and bowed, indicating that he had seen him before.

Luzhu was very serious, offering incense and praying, and even asked the old woman for advice on the details of worshiping gods, without any sign of irritation.

Even, there is a bit of fun in it.

Old sir, please give me a fish charm.

After worshiping the gods, Chen Sheng asked for the fish talisman.

This is an indispensable part of the Linglong Queen's Day.

One for each person.

Luzhu added.

Young Master is a good man, and good people will be rewarded with good things.

Miao Zhu was an old man. He had met all kinds of people and had received them from high-ranking officials in the city. He realized that Chen Sheng and Lu Zhu were extraordinary, and they should be those high-ranking immortal cultivators.

It is very rare for this kind of people to be indifferent to life and detached from others, and to be as kind as Chen Sheng.

Maybe.

Chen Sheng smiled back.

He never felt that he was detached. He could not control life, old age, illness and death, and he had a lot of helplessness.

Ms. Linglong's fish charm will protect you.

Miao Zhu took out two fish charms and said the same thing as usual, obviously thinking that the cultivators did not believe it.

bless!

Luzhu was an exception. She gave Chen Sheng a fish talisman, and she used one by herself. She held it with both hands and prayed twice with great piety, just like a village girl in the countryside.
