Chapter 15: I am a God
"The noodles that even immortals have eaten, a bowl of Yangchun noodles, are better than those of living immortals." The chubby boss surrounded the cloth and told lies without blushing and without even noticing that the immortal he was talking about happened to be passing by his noodle stall.
"The best charcoal..."
"The intact fox skin..."
Gao Xian rode a donkey onto the street and went out along Beimen Street. The weather was getting warmer, which made the street more lively and noisy, and the vendors setting up stalls also screamed more vigorously.
On the road, most of the men wore round-neck robes and hats, and the women wore jackets. They did not shy away from quarreling and bargaining with the vendors.
The status of women in the Zhou Dynasty was not low. There were many women who were engaged in business, carried swords, and were female officials. It was not like in the storybook that Gao Xian once read, where women were hiding in boudoirs and embroidered buildings and could not be exposed to the public.
There were even some bold and fierce women who stared at Gao Xian and pointed and whispered to their companions. However, when they saw the marks deep in Gao Xian's long hair and between his eyebrows, they instantly blushed and did not dare to look directly.
It had been a while since Gao Xian came to Gongzhou City, and this was the first time Gao Xian saw the bustling fireworks of Gongzhou City.
I really feel a little reluctant to leave. After all, this is my first stop when going down the mountain, and a lot of things have happened in recent days.
Spring was about to begin, and Gao Xian was not planning to return to Tianyun Temple, but continued walking.
Just like what I said to Lu Canghai, look at the vastness of the earth, the sky, the high clouds and the depths of the clouds, and listen to the waves flowing across the sea.
The world is noisy and there is no time to return.
Along the way, he searches for something that can be consecrated as a protector and discovers his own abilities.
As for the approximate route, it is tentatively decided to go all the way northwest.
Finally, we went to Kunlun, the legendary sacred mountain in the northwest that holds up the sky. No one can climb to the top.
I saw the city tower in the distance and was about to leave the city.
On the street, a tall horse suddenly chased out and blocked Gao Xian's way.
The man on the horse is wearing a brocade robe and official clothes, he is Zhongxingdu.
Bank of China rushed over to the house where Xu Bayuan lived, but unexpectedly, the only people he saw were Xu Bayuan and Lu Canghai, whose eyesight had returned, and the immortal had already left.
Knowing that the immortal could also refine the elixir, and even used the elixir to cure Lu Canghai's eyes, Zhong Xing was excited and excited, but at the same time he was afraid that the immortal would leave and all his achievements would be in vain.
Along the way, Zhongxing galloped forward with his horse whipped and whipped. When he saw the sound of a donkey riding in the distance, he shouted.
"Wu Yi Si Zhong Xing Du."
"Come and see the immortal."
Turn over and dismount, salute and invite you.
Taoist priests are not uncommon, and so are people riding donkeys. However, the Taoist priests riding donkeys in Gongzhou City today are different.
When Gao Xian passed by, he attracted the attention of many people on the road, but those who noticed him only dared to look around, did not dare to confirm, and did not dare to step forward.
At this moment, listening to Zhongxing Du's shout, no one in the entire Beimen Street knew that this man was the immortal that had been rumored throughout Gongzhou City in recent days.
"Fairy! This is the fairy who came to our Gongzhou." The owner of the noodle stall suddenly revealed the true face of what he was bragging about.
"Sure enough, he looks like the man who walked down from the clouds." Several maids shopping on the street were excited.
"Oh, don't talk nonsense, the immortal will hear it." The older one immediately held down several little girls.
The entire north gate was in chaos, everyone's eyes were focused here, and the original noise suddenly became quiet.
This was the first time for everyone to see the appearance of an immortal. It must be said that Gao Xian's appearance was quite in line with everyone's definition of an immortal, and a sense of awe that could not be offended arose from everyone's hearts.
Gao Xian didn't get off the donkey, so he sat on it and looked at Zhongxing Du, whose waist was almost bent to the ground: "Why are you blocking my way?"
The answer was: "Bank of China really wants to invite the immortal to the capital."
Gao Xian: "What are you going to the capital for?"
Zhong Xingdu's eyes showed a look of wisdom: "It is said that on the Laoshan Mountain in the past, there was an unknown Taoist who became an immortal and retired to the Laoshan Mountain. Do you think he is an immortal?"
The previous dynasty? The unknown Taoist? Isn’t that an old Taoist?
Gao Xian felt that the person in front of him was very thoughtful. What could he just guess?
Talking nonsense in a fit of anger makes no sense.
Seeing the expression on Gao Xian's face, Zhong Xingdu thought that his guess was true, and immediately continued: "Immortals have this magic of immortality, why not offer it to the emperor, since the emperor has both virtue and conduct, and has the appearance of ruling the world."
"If an immortal comes out to assist the emperor and create an immortal dynasty, his merits will be immeasurable."
As he spoke, Zhongxing Du's face showed a bit of longing: "It's not impossible to be a high-ranking official and have a good salary, and even the position of National Master is not impossible."
The corner of Gao Xian's mouth raised: "High-ranking officials are rich in salary? How generous?"
But Zhongxing Du didn't see it, and was completely immersed in his own whims: "Glory, wealth, and wealth are endless."
"The position of national master? Is it very high?"
"Of course it is high, lower than one person and higher than ten thousand people."
"Are you as tall as a god?" Gao Xian suddenly asked.
Bank of China Du's face turned extremely ugly for a moment.
He felt that he had misunderstood and could not look at this kind of transcendent immortal with his own eyes.
The high officialdom, wealth and splendor that he pursued with all his heart seemed to be at his fingertips in front of this immortal, but what the immortal wanted, he could not imagine at all.
As soon as Gao Xian looked at the man in front of him, he understood what this man was thinking and the cause and effect.
"And why are you only showing up now? You already knew where the person from Yinhua Palace was and how he wanted to deal with me, but you have been waiting all this time."
"The Bank of China doesn't know what the immortal is talking about." Bank of China suddenly sweated profusely. He suddenly felt that he was extremely stupid for plotting against this immortal with his tricks.
"You want to see how capable I am, and whether Kong Chenzi is worthy of the name of the Sword Immortal."
The donkey stepped forward, and the power of heaven and earth pressed forward, crushing Zhong Xingdu's back, and he fell to his knees with a pop.
"The world is a chess game. Do you also want to play chess and treat me as a chess piece?"
When Gao Xian asked, Zhongxing Du felt like a thunder exploded in his heart, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Ah!"
From this smile, Zhongxing Du could hear the contempt for this worldly world, and his sneer that did not know the heights of heaven and earth.
"You only know that high-ranking officials are well paid."
"Do you know how high the sky is? How thick is the earth?"
The Taoist said nothing and rode his donkey and passed by.
Then, as layers of flames swirled around him, Gao Xian put his hands inside his robe, closed his eyes, and jumped into the air on his donkey.
The donkey walked on the fire, jumped up to the tower, and then turned into flames and disappeared.
Only a few lines of poetry were left in an unknown place deep in the clouds and high in the sky.
"I am a heavenly being, but I am banished to the mortal world."
"When the wind sings, the clear whistle reaches the clouds."
"..."
As the sound of poetry swirled around the clouds and soared into the sky, it disappeared together with the immortal.
In Gongzhou City, all the people knelt down.
In an instant, the silence erupted, with exclamations like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, and voices asking for the gods' blessings. The entire North City Gate fell to their knees in darkness, heading in the direction where the immortals left.
Zhongxing Du, who was kneeling in the middle, was particularly conspicuous. His face was pale at this moment, and his tricks and tricks had completely buried him.
