The weather in Xinghua Town is particularly good today. The afternoon sun makes people feel warm. Some strong men have already put on short-sleeved mattress shirts, exposing their arms with bulging blood vessels.

The business of the tea shop has reached its peak, and time seems to be slowed down here. The vendors setting up stalls are leaning on the steps behind them, looking at the clear sky, and the old people in their sixties are crossing their legs and sipping tea.

"What, you didn't pass the selection? Don't be discouraged. Come and learn winemaking from me. Don't you love apricot wine the most?" After the busy period, my brother had time to spare.

"I passed it, but I want to enter Confucianism. The elders of the Changping Sword Sect were very nice and gave me a token. I can go to Zhulu Academy to report and enter Confucianism." Han Fan thought that only by saying this, would his family members

believe.

Han Fen's words were like spring thunder, and the consolation prepared by his brother was stillborn. The family knew about Han Fen's participation in the selection. There was a chance to become a god, who wouldn't want to try it?

Children in small towns go to participate in the selection every year. People always have to think about it a little bit, right? What if they get selected?

This is also the reason why the family doesn't pay much attention to it. It's like buying a lottery ticket. Twenty yuan worth of items can be used to win five million in banknotes. It sounds like a big deal, but if there is only one in a million, is it true?

It's not that big anymore.

"You...you chose...you chose it?" My brother didn't notice the tremor in his voice at all.

"Yes." In contrast, Han Fan seemed much calmer. He took out the jade plaque and placed it on the table.

The elder brother carefully picked up the brand and held it in his hand. He looked at the material and saw that it was not vulgar. It seemed that what his brother said was true. He immediately felt that this brand would never get tired of.

"Mom and dad, come up quickly, we are going to be happy!" my brother yelled at the top of his voice.

Father Han and Mother Han were still cleaning up the leftovers after the guests had eaten. When they heard the eldest son’s shouts, they responded:

"We are clearing the table. Why are we in such a hurry? We'll talk about it after we finish clearing it."

"Why are you clearing the table? It's a great thing! Come up quickly." The shouts became louder.

"Okay, okay, let's go up now." Han's mother casually wiped her hands on her apron and walked upstairs. Han's father followed behind, and she was also curious in her heart.

"Look what this is? Can you recognize it?" The brother seemed to be showing off his treasure.

"Isn't it just a brand? What a fuss." Mother Han rolled her eyes.

"Oh, this kind of jade seems not simple." Han's father looked at it and said in surprise.

"Xiao Fan has passed the examination of the Changping Sword Sect, but he wants to join Confucianism. The gods gave him this token, and he is qualified to join Confucianism!" My brother said excitedly, spitting and comparing.

I'll be happy if my tavern business is good and I can make a lot of money.

There was another thunder explosion, and my brother was particularly satisfied with the expressions of his parents at this moment, which should be this look of shock.

After a long time, Han's father reacted and took the jade plaque from Han Fan's brother's hand. He looked at it carefully. Han's mother wanted to reach out and take it, but when she reached halfway, she thought that the oil on her hand had not been cleaned well, so she retracted her hand.

He turned back and stared with wide eyes, trying to look back at the regret of not having touched it.

Three hurried figures appeared on the street in the afternoon. It was Han Fan, his brother and his father. Han's father naturally had doubts about Han Fan's words. Now he naturally wanted to find someone to control him, such as Han Fan's waist.

The gourd is average.

Fortunately, everyone in the sect lowered the difficulty of the assessment, so Han Fen's selection made them consider this matter to be acceptable.

How should I put it? Although ordinary people long for the glory and wealth of the powerful family and the heavenly power of the gods on the mountain, who doesn't know how much they weigh? After all, their son is not from a famous family, and the two elders put their son in the bottom of their hearts.

At this level of ordinary people.

The three of them entered a street-side store. There was a shabby wooden plaque hanging on it - Treasure Pavilion.

It is said that it is a treasure pavilion, but according to the villagers of Xinghua Town, they are all useless objects. Although they are rare, they can neither produce money nor make people safe from illness and disaster. They are of no use, right?

"Shopkeeper Zhao, how is the business?" Father Han strode towards the counter with a loud voice.

"Hey, look at your attitude, have you found a treasure?" Sitting behind the counter is an ancient old man. It is said that he traveled around the world when he was young and has a lot of knowledge.

"Almost the same, hahahaha." Father Han did not hide the proud look on his face.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, it doesn't matter if you spend more money, but you have to be more careful. I'm sorry to bother you, shopkeeper." Father Han handed over the jade sign with a serious tone.

"Yeah." Seeing Han Fan's serious face, the old shopkeeper stopped joking and took the jade token. The moment he took it, his expression changed.

"Where... did you get this?" The old shopkeeper's face was full of horror. This was the first time that Father Han had such an impression on Shopkeeper Zhao!

What outsiders don’t know is that this shopkeeper Zhao is actually at the peak of the second realm. He has been stuck in the ninth level for twenty years. As a cultivator, when the jade tablet is acquired, the long-dormant Dantian suddenly disappears.

As he became more active, even the bottleneck of the ninth level began to loosen, showing signs of breakthrough.

"This is the token given by the gods to my little son!" The moment he saw the shopkeeper's reaction, Father Han's heart dropped and he breathed a sigh of relief, dispelling his last doubts.

The old shopkeeper's face flushed with excitement. Although he could not recognize the material of this jade token based on his knowledge, the reaction brought about by the jade token had already let him know that this jade token was not simple.

At this moment, the old shopkeeper thought about a lot of things, and the dream of immortality that had been buried deep in his heart was brought out.

If I can get the jade tablet, I can cultivate to the fifth realm and increase my life span by fifty years. If I am lucky enough to reach the sixth realm, I can live another hundred years. Later, these ideas were rejected one by one.

According to his understanding, it is already a blessing to be able to enter the three realms in this life. Just relying on a sign is ultimately just a fool's dream. The dream of immortality that has been dug up has not been scattered in the soil, and has been covered in dust again. Who has not had a dream?

Who has never had a desire? Which salted fish has never thought about turning over? Is it really that easy?

"This is not a common thing, so it's better not to show it off, otherwise it might cause unnecessary trouble." The old shopkeeper said seriously.

Han Fen always felt that the smile of the old shopkeeper was very old, but he couldn't explain the reason.

Although the shopkeeper's words did not tell the three of them what the material was made of, it was enough to illustrate its importance. Han's father hurriedly took the jade medal, carefully put it into his collar and stuck it above his belt.

The three of them said goodbye and left. The old shopkeeper smiled helplessly. He was already old and it was time to accept his fate...

Han Fen's brother was watching the whole process, the reaction of the old shopkeeper and the changes in his expression. The old shopkeeper was not the only one with active thoughts. The greedy idea also flashed in his brother's mind: steal the token and become a god in his brother's place.

It's just that this ridiculous idea goes away as quickly as it comes.

Some things are better not to be thought about.

After thinking about the key, the elder brother smiled casually. If the younger brother has a future, the whole family will take advantage of it!

Naturally, Han Fen didn't know this. He was walking next to his father, thinking about the future.

As for Han's father, did he have any greedy thoughts in his heart?

The answer is of course. This is human nature. Desire is the most direct expression. Buddhism pays attention to the purity of the six roots, the absence of desires, and the firmness of Taoism. It does not mean that we want to directly eliminate all kinds of desires once and for all, but in the end, the practice of Buddhism is also

Are you suppressing your desires?

How many people are truly free from desires and thoughts?

Desire is human nature, and life is about spiritual practice. Obviously, everyone has passed the level of greed derived from the jade tablet.

That night, the family had a reunion dinner at home. After dinner, her mother prepared a change of clothes for Han Fan on the way, and his father talked to Han Fan about the etiquette of dealing with others.

After consultation, the family decided to let Han Fen take action tomorrow. Firstly, the gods could not wait too long, and secondly, the journey was long.

Originally, Han's mother and brother agreed that Han's father should accompany them, but Han Fan disagreed, claiming that the road to spiritual practice was full of thorns, and how could his father accompany him for the rest of his life?

Because Han Fen had a tough attitude, but his mother could not reassure him, in the end both parties took a step back, and Han's father sent him to Yancheng, while Han Fen walked the rest of the way alone.
