Chapter 917 Liu Mazi Enters the City
It turned out that the old Taoist heard an old saying from somewhere, "If you can't eat it, you will have to bear the consequences." He understood it as: if you offend someone you shouldn't offend, you will have to eat something. Then, he developed this "Taoism method" without knowing what was going on.
He made a kind of black sugar that was very difficult to melt. Whenever he was unhappy, he would stick the black sugar somewhere and ask the person to lick it clean. However, every time he used his "Taoism", it worked wonders. Over time, he became very proud of himself. He traveled around the world and spread his magic.
Unexpectedly, today, I was broken by a weirdo. In other words, I can't afford to offend him. So I was so scared that I knelt down and begged for mercy, kneeling down and worshipping Li Changxiao devoutly all the way. I was terrified, afraid that Li Changxiao would also take out the black sugar and tell me to "take the consequences". The black sugar was boiled in an ancient way, and I had to lick it for a whole day and night. I often licked my tongue until it bled, which was really a torture.
Unexpectedly, Li Changxiao ignored him and passed by. The old Taoist thought of the stories he had heard before. The immortals in the mountains all looked so strange. He was just a fake immortal, pretending to be one, cheating people for food and drink. He had some skills, but not much. He might as well cling to this person.
His attitude changed drastically, and he ran to Li Changxiao, knelt down and cried, wailing loudly, and complained bitterly. He told Li Changxiao that he had a severe fever when he was a child, and the immortal gave him a chance, which led to his appearance as an immortal. The immortal in his dream told him that he had a destiny to be an immortal since he was a child, and now he finally met a real immortal, and asked Li Changxiao to accept him as his apprentice.
Li Changxiao was surprised. He thought that he had just woken up, and everyone had seen through his secrets. He looked at the old Taoist priest. He seemed crazy and not quite normal, but he seemed quite smart. He had been sleeping for a long time. He didn't know how many years had passed. He needed someone to understand the outside world. He couldn't help but worry... Maybe this old Taoist priest was already the most normal person?
The old Taoist begged him in every possible way, and his mouth was broken. Li Changxiao was annoyed by him, so he asked him his name, birthplace, and origin. If he could tell the answer, he would temporarily allow him to follow.
The old Taoist priest was originally from Niujia Village, Liu Mazi. When he was young, he was strong and healthy, and there was nothing special about him, so he was looked down upon by everyone. When he was young, a lame immortal passed by Niujia Village, and the villagers admired him very much. Liu Mazi thought about him day and night, and dreamed of becoming the immortal's apprentice. He thought about it for a long time, and became too distracted, so he had a high fever.
During a high fever, he suddenly had an idea and broke his own leg. From then on, he declared to the public that he was a disciple of the lame immortal. Everyone in Niujia Village admired him and believed him. Liu Mazi tasted the sweetness, so he put on a Taoist robe and wandered around, gradually gaining some fame.
Liu Mazi said, "Hey, great immortal, I will follow you in the future!" He stood up, bowed, and followed Li Changxiao. Li Changxiao was always casual, and even though Liu Mazi's behavior was strange, he didn't think it was a big deal to be followed by him. He didn't care whether he agreed or not. He walked straight into the city.
On the way, Li Changxiao asked Liu Mazi, "Does he seem to have great respect for the immortals?" All mortals have always respected the immortals. This is nothing to ask. But the respect in the past was mostly yearning and envy. Now the respect seems to be fanaticism and crazy. The two are very different. And this "immortal" is not the same as that "immortal". I should ask him clearly.
Liu Mazi told Li Changxiao that this was natural. In the whole world, everyone worshipped immortals. Li Changxiao followed the topic and tried to find out what he was talking about. Gradually, he realized that the immortals Liu Mazi was talking about were not immortals who lived forever and rode on clouds. Instead, they were immortals with special abilities.
It is hard to describe the appearance of an immortal. One can only understand that Liu Mazi and others could recognize the immortal at first sight, as if they had a sense of him.
Li Changxiao asked, "You are a lame man, so you look like an immortal?" Liu Mazi said, "No, no, yes, yes. It doesn't count, but it does count." He said a bunch of mysterious words that he himself didn't understand. He was born ordinary, so how could he look like an immortal? It's just that some people believe it.
Li Changxiao asked Liu Mazi where he was going and what his purpose was. Liu Mazi thought that he would use some magic on Li Changxiao, so he was naturally very respectful and told him everything he knew. He said that he had a mission to accomplish. In the "Pala City", there was a wealthy family whose family had a demon, so they asked people to exorcise it. Liu Mazi was well-known in the area, so he was naturally invited. He was going there to exorcise the demon.
I would have arrived last night if I had traveled overnight. But I stopped at the inn, had a drink, and then went on to sleep in the inn. This delayed me for a while, but I still had plenty of time.
While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the city gate. The city gate was low, and seemed to be built with yellow mud and gravel. The city gate was not very solid. Liu Mazi said complacently: "Great Immortal, do you see, this is the largest city in the surrounding area, known as Pala City. Look, this city gate is almost three times as high as me. Hehe, ordinary people can't climb over it."
Li Changxiao looked at the city gate and remembered that he had been to this city before he fell asleep. It was not originally called Pala City, but "Jufeng City". This city is located in a remote area and is not very large. But the city gate is three feet high, made of glutinous rice, red mud, and hard stone, and belongs to Lingtian. The three characters "Jufeng City" on the plaque of the city gate are written in neat strokes and with great momentum. Even though it is a small city, it still has style.
Looking back now, the walls of this "Pala City" are yellow and gray, and the yellow mud will slide down if you scrape it lightly. Not to mention that it is strong, Li Changxiao only needs to apply a little force and the wall will collapse.
Li Changxiao asked, "Has this city of Pa La been called this since ancient times?" Liu Mazi said, "Of course, of course. What else can it be called? Great Immortal, please go in quickly."
Li Changxiao walked into the city gate. There were no soldiers guarding the gate. The gate was just for show. But once inside the city, the street scene was much better. There were many pedestrians, and the houses were decent. Most of them were made of yellow mud and gravel, not very beautiful, but still ok for living.
Sixty percent of the city's residents were born with different appearances, and 40 percent looked the same at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there were subtle differences.
