Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

"Hey what happened?"

"Why is it dark?"

"What a thick fog!..."

The rest of the people in the yamen had already finished their meal, and they emptied the corn in the barrel, the Chinese cabbage stewed with frozen tofu in the pot, and the pork head meat sausage left on the plate, and they were all eaten up. net.

At this time, they were clearing the tables and chairs and washing the dishes.

Suddenly clouds and mist rose from the ground, covering everyone, almost invisible to each other, and the embers in the stove were instantly extinguished. Everyone was a little flustered for a while, not knowing what happened, shouting, but not daring to move.

In an instant, the fog dissipated from bottom to top in an instant, as if it had just been a daydream.

"What's the matter? My eyes are blurry?"

"It's true, but if you ask me, I don't know. It suddenly fogged up and then disappeared." The cook who was carrying a large spoon shook her head, noncommittal to the question of the helper next to her.

Several passers-by outside the wall of the county government had the same experience. After Yun left in an instant, they stood in the street in shock, and then returned home full of doubts. Two of them decided to go to the Town God's Temple to worship A salute.

But in Qizhi County, the two of them suddenly drove away in front of the meeting, opened their mouths wide, and stared blankly at the sky.

After a while, he came back to his senses, and said to the old servant next to him with a smile on his face: "It seems that this time I got lucky and met two real immortals!"

"Congratulations, master."

"You and I, don't need to see outsiders. Go buy ordinary lanterns and hang them up in the afternoon, and prepare two red lanterns. As they say, when my 'concubine' comes, I will hang them up."

Qi Nan waved his hand and said, and then he continued to look at the sky, as if admiring the clouds in the sky.

Finally got a good night's sleep tonight.

The sun is so beautiful, the sky is so blue.

…………

...

Fang Chang took Gu Shan with him, stepped on the clouds, and rose together in midair.

Fortunately, Gu Shan is also a practitioner, otherwise the mortal body would be too heavy, and it would be too difficult to ride the clouds and mist, unless the gust of wind blows it up, but it is more like a monster than an expert.

He chose to climb the cloud and leave instead of other methods, in order to reassure the county magistrate.

The effect should be very good.

The old man Gu Shan stood beside Fang Chang, and Yu Yunshang lightly looked at Fang Chang.

He has long observed that Mr. Fang's body is in harmony with the phenomenon of heaven and earth, and knows that his cultivation is advanced, but he has never imagined that he will reach this state.

Being able to climb clouds and fly is a supernatural power envied by many practitioners.

Although I claim to be a "big hermit in the city", compared with the "high-end" Mr. Fang, I am nothing more than a common man...

Thinking wildly, Gu Shan looked away and admired the ground under his feet.

Looking from the sky towards the ground, the city looks like a small courtyard, with snow-covered houses inside like bricks in the courtyard, pedestrians like gravel, and streets like cracks in bricks. The fields outside are all white, like a soft blanket under the blue sky, covering the fields, ponds, rivers, woods, and roads.

The cold wind was howling, but neither of them cared about it. Fang Chang realized that Gu Shan was not afraid of the cold and heat, and he didn't help him to block the wind. Anyway, the cloud was very stable.

Seeing that Gu Shan was very interested in the scenery under his feet, he did not rush to clear the clouds and mists, but stood quietly by the side and smiled, giving the other party enough time to check.

After about a quarter of an hour, Gu Shan turned around, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

"I laughed at Mr. Fang. I can't fly. It's the first time I have to go to the sky. I couldn't hold back seeing the beautiful scenery, so I watched it for a while."

Fang Chang smiled and said:

"It's normal. Looking down from the sky, you can see everything in all directions, and the beauty of the earth can be seen in all directions. It is indeed a novel experience."

"It's like climbing the mountain for the first time. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the beautiful scenery below, I just feel like lingering. Anyway, I don't have much to do today, why don't I spend a little more time on the top?"

"It's enough, let's go back." Gu Shan shook his head, "It's meaningless to indulge in novel scenery. If I can improve my cultivation in this life as an old man, I will come up by myself."

"where are we going?"

"Well...Mr. Fang, let's go to the next house, sit down for a while, drink two cups of tea, and then go to the side door of the yamen and wait for the lantern to be hung."

"good."

Fang Chang pressed Luoyun's head and came to the small courtyard where Gu Shan often lived.

His actions caused several households around the small courtyard to experience a "cloud and mist sudden event", which also caused a little panic. Perhaps a hundred years later, there will be more rumored versions of this event, coupled with various Various backgrounds and seasonings are gradually enriched into a new version of bedtime stories.

Gu Shan added water to the pot, found teacups of tea, and actually brewed a pot of tea as a treat:

"Forgive me, sir. My family is very poor, but I can't afford to buy good tea like the one in the county yamen. I don't know if you can still drink this kind of tea after drinking the good tea in the county yamen."

…………

...

The two rested for a while, then walked towards the county government office again.

"We don't show up, and no one should recognize us." Gu Shan said.

"Okay, it's better to go a little farther away and find a teahouse where you can see the entrance of the county government office, and stay in it." He patted the package on his back as he said, "I have exchanged a lot this time down the mountain, and I don't have any shortages for the time being." Money, I’m here to treat you.”

Gu Shan readily obeyed: "I've been here for so many years, but I haven't been to a teahouse yet. Today, I borrow Mr. Fang's light to experience it together."

"There's a tea house over there. Let's sit down on the second floor, just in time to see the entrance of the county government office." Fang Chang pointed to the front.

It is not difficult to go up to the teahouse. After talking to the waiter, the waiter immediately invited the two of them to the second floor.

The business here seems to be not good, many tables and chairs are empty, and there are not many service staff inside, only one waiter upstairs and downstairs.

The two looked for a place by the window, and they could see the side door of the county government office obliquely, so they sat quietly.

Fortunately, this is just a county government office, and there is nothing special about it. If the opposite is the imperial palace, it would be against the law to observe like this - spying on forbidden secrets is a serious crime.

Fang Chang chose a few at random, and the waiter in the shop quickly brought up a pot of good tea, and also brought a few plates of delicate snacks, which can be served with tea.

"It's really good."

Seeing that Fang Chang picked up the pot and tilted it slowly, slightly brownish-yellow, amber-clear tea flowed out from the spout to fill the teacup, Gu Shan took a sip and ate two more snacks, and praised: "I have never tasted it before." Such good tea, well, these dim sums are also great."

Fang Chang stretched out his finger and brushed the tabletop. Seeing that it was extremely clean, he said with a smile, "This teahouse has a good environment. Mr. Gu, let's come here during the day."

"my pleasure."

In the next few days, Fang Chang brought Gu Shan here every day, asking for a pot of tea and a few plates of snacks. The two sides talked for a whole day, then went to the restaurant to fill their stomachs, and then went back to Gu Shan's house together.

After a few days, Gu Shan's surface turned out to be much more shiny.

Early morning of the fourth day.

Just when he and Gu Shan walked around the corner, the sharp-eyed Fang Chang suddenly shouted:

"Look, Mr. Gu, the lanterns are already hung in red at the front side door!"
