Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 163
Ever since he was promoted to Grand Master, Gu Dan's senses have been extremely keen.

The movement that other people can't detect is like a thunderbolt to him.

The world of mortals is complicated and chaotic. The great master looks at ordinary people with the eyes of the world, and can easily discover countless kinds of problems that ordinary people would subconsciously ignore. It is inevitable that flaws and flaws will be exposed.

The improvement of strength is still constantly forcibly improving a person's aesthetic standards.

This is just a great master, and he can't be called a fairy.

It can be seen from this that it is probably false that a fairy fell into the mortal world and fell in love with a mortal, and the fairy looks at the mortal like a skeleton.

In the beginning, in order to solve this feeling of discomfort, Gu Dan even needed to block part of his own perception with true energy. Later, he gradually got used to it, and after he was able to find peace in the middle of trouble, this perception really turned into a help.

And this special feeling after being promoted also made Gu Dan realize that the promotion of martial arts can bring about such a change, so what about the immortal?
When the true divine sense is swept away and the eyes can see thousands of miles away, I am afraid that ordinary people are just a mass of moving flesh on the framework of flesh and blood, there is no such thing as beauty or ugliness, they are all the same.

It's no wonder that the immortals in the legends have to stay away from the world, because no matter how similar they look, when you really look at them, the gap like a moat will always remind you that they are completely different from each other.

At the beginning, my daughter used to be envious of a dog, but the higher her level of cultivation, the gap between people may be greater than that between people and dogs.

In the world of mortals, practice is everywhere.

Gu Dan has begun to realize this special feeling. Although he walked out of the small courtyard of Gu's family, a feeling like a bigger barrier has begun to surround him unknowingly, reminding him all the time.

"Someone is coming on horseback."

After listening for a while, Gu Dan said firmly.

"To us?"

Xun Ke is not surprised that Gu Dan can always discover something in advance, he is used to it.

"That's right, it's getting closer."

Gu Dan nodded slightly, the two of them did not bother Aunt Cheng for the time being, and waited together in front of the village.

Sure enough, Xun Ke from far away could see a small black dot approaching here, and with a quick glance, the distance was at least hundreds of meters!

Such a long distance can be detected in advance, and there is a warning? !
Even Xun Ke, who was already a little used to it, couldn't help being a little startled, what kind of strength Mr. Gu has now!

They didn't make them wait too long, and the people on the horses came quickly. When they noticed the two people standing at the entrance of the village, they subconsciously drew the knife on their backs.

This place is quite close to the place where the temple and the White Lotus Sect fought. Even the displaced refugees would stay away from it. The people who can meet here are either brave people with high skills, or lackeys of the White Lotus Sect or the court.

"Who?! What is the origin!"

The steed stood still at a distance of about twenty steps in front of the two of them. In the light rain, the man in the bamboo hat looked a bit tall and strong, and the scimitar in his hand was still oozing blood!

Xun Ke looked a little ugly, "Come to our village, who should I say, is it you?!"

"Your village?"

The scimitar in the man's hand on the horse's back was slightly lowered, and his voice seemed a little surprised. He lifted the hat, revealing a fierce face with a scar on it, and his eyes were constantly dangling on Xun Ke's body. with.

After a while, the man on the horse asked in disbelief, "Idiot?!"

Xun Ke was startled.

This title seems to be very far away from him, yet very familiar.

It's far away because a group of friends used to call him that, and it's familiar because there's a silly, happy, crazy girl in the small courtyard of the Gu family who always calls him that.

But in six years, for the children who were only in their teens, the changes are too great. Even the voice is different from before, let alone the physique.

"you are?"

Xun Ke was a little unsure.

"It's really you?!"

The man put away the scimitar in his hand, got off his horse, "I'm a bully!"

He casually stuck the scimitar on the ground, "Don't you remember? When we went to fish in the Yuan River together, we were hung from the beam and beat up! By the way, the iron in Mr. Private School's hand Do you remember the ruler? It was made by our family!"

The torrent of memory is surging, and many memories of childhood surged to my heart at this moment.

Xun Ke was very surprised, rushed over and gave him a big hug, "How did you become so strong!!!"

He slammed Er Niu's chest several times with his fist, and the rain on the bamboo hat flew up, like tears falling into the muddy ground, converging into a small shallow ditch.

"You boy, it's been so many years, why do you still look so thin? You still look dumb! When you left with Mozi, everyone envied you! By the way, isn't Mozi in Yangzhou? Why did you come back?" Already? This is." Er Niu looked at Gu Dan and asked hesitantly.

Seeing each other again after many years, the two have so much to say.

"This is Mr. Gu, Master Mo's best friend! He has decided to go out to save the world with Master Mo! Let's talk about the details first when we go back to the house."

"Mozi's best friend?! Wow, that must be an unrivaled hero, you are lucky!"

Xun Ke grabbed Er Niu's hand and returned to the old house that literally meant nothing.

Er Niu first took off the bamboo hat on his body, and then carefully took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, which contained a whole roast chicken and some large pieces of fat.

Carrying these things into the house, Er Niu saw the burning fire at a glance.

And that big blob of vomit by the fire.

"Avalokitesvara?!"

Er Niu froze there, looking back, as if looking for something, "Have you met Aunt Cheng?"

The joy of reunion faded a lot, Xun Ke nodded, and asked again: "What is going on with Aunt Cheng? Why is she the only one left in the village? What about her family?"

Spreading the oiled paper bag on the ground, Er Niu came to the fire, took a breath, and said in a low mood: "When the sky fell at night, the place where it fell was not too far from us. Later, many martial arts Experts come here and cause chaos everywhere, you know it."

Xun Ke nodded affirmatively.

The initial period was also the most chaotic. The news that the star was Xianyuan hadn’t spread yet. In order to prevent the news from spreading, some warriors with sinister intentions began to massacre the surrounding villagers purposefully. Their actions were heinous .

But in the end, it was inevitable that rumors would be leaked, and rumors were spread to ten or ten, and this area really became a mess.

When Mo Qiu came over with more than a hundred ink practitioners, the initial and craziest chaos was almost over, and what remained was the continuous melee and robbing among the warriors.

As long as you take a second look and feel that the fairy stone is hidden in someone else, then there is no reason at all, and the most direct killing is happening all the time.

Later, Mo Qiu led a group of Mohists, slaughtered many warriors who had been dazzled, and fought against the leader of Bailian and Huang Chao a few times to prove his strength. It took a month for this turmoil to pass.

But the loss is already doomed, Mo Qiu shortened the time and scope of the disaster, but after all, he is not a god, and the damage that has been caused cannot be eliminated.

Xun Ke's parents died because they wanted to stop the warrior's evil deeds, how could he not remember?

"After Mozi took you away, this matter didn't go away like this. People from the White Lotus Sect came and came to our village to give lectures. They said that after joining the White Lotus Sect, they would no longer have to pay taxes to the court. Everyone is brothers and sisters. What you said sounds good, isn’t this a rebellion? Of course everyone is unwilling, but fortunately, no one in the White Lotus Sect said that if they don’t join, they will die.”

Er Niu's face darkened, and his voice was terribly cold, "But later, people from other villages joined the White Lotus Sect—when people from the imperial court came over, they insisted that we conspired with them, or handed over the leader of the White Lotus Sect. Messenger, or together as a traitor."

"This"

Xun Ke took a deep breath and tried his best not to swear.

"Later, another official came. Anyway, since the informant of the White Lotus Sect came to our village, he would never be able to escape the responsibility. If you want to prove your Qingbai, it's okay. If other villages owe you, our village will Make it up, or don't blame them for being rude."

Er Niu's face looked cloudy and uncertain in front of the rising fire, and every time he uttered a sentence, the scar on his face seemed to come alive, twisting uncontrollably, looking ferocious and terrifying.

"In the first year, everyone gritted their teeth and managed to fill in the holes in the outer village. In the second year, not only did they not return to the original state, but they got worse and asked us to provide more food. Heh, last time everyone It's enough to fill up the family's wealth, and almost can't even survive, how can I get more food?
Many people in the village were afraid, and simply dragged their families to the mountains to hide, preferring to be refugees, maybe there would be some way to survive. "

There are many plains in Yuzhou, but there are also mountains.

The mountains and forests in this era are always extraordinarily dense and inaccessible, and even the government is too lazy to take care of them——trying hard to mobilize thousands of troops to search the mountains, just to catch some muddy legs?

With such a waste of effort, the harvest is not enough for the army to pay for a trip!
Who wants to go to the mountains if they have some spare money?

Therefore, hiding on the mountain is actually a very useful move most of the time for the poor who are about to be driven to death.

But everything has a price.

It is true that hiding on the mountain can avoid the government, but the difficulty of living on the mountain is far more difficult than that of cultivated fertile land.

The difference between the two is that one is really hard to live, and the other is that people don't let them live.

"At the beginning, everyone was just trying to avoid the limelight. Who knows what will happen after that? It's better to live than to die. It's a day to survive. Aunt Cheng's family also hid in the mountains. Of course, there is not much food. After the rain, Aunt Cheng diligently picked a lot of mushrooms on the mountain and cooked a pot of wild mushroom soup."

Speaking of this, Er Niu's palms were tightly squeezed together, "A family of six, five of them were poisoned to death. Uncle Cheng died, Brother Sheng died, Brother Sheng's wife also died, and even Aunt Cheng died. The four or five-year-old grandson of my family is dead."

Xun Ke opened his mouth slightly, "Aunt Cheng"

"Aunt Cheng didn't drink the mushroom soup."

Er Niu actually laughed, and that smile was full of helplessness and sadness, "You're too poor! Aunt Cheng couldn't bear to eat a single mouthful of that pot of mushroom soup, so she was the only one left in the family."

"."

No one in the room spoke for a long time.

The flames were crackling and burning, occasionally spitting out tongues of fire, revealing dots of black embers, which fell on people's clothes, and just a light sip would reveal a series of dark traces.

The flames that had been burning for a long time became weaker and weaker, and after a while, the inch-high fireworks that emerged at the end disappeared, revealing the burned wreckage with little gray embers.

The sound of the last burst of flames reminded several people, and Er Niu said as if waking up from a dream: "Later, Aunt Cheng went crazy. She always regarded it as a thief, and the family members went out to avoid the limelight, and they will come back sooner or later. Everyone couldn't resist her at all. Fortunately, people from the White Lotus Sect came again. This time, everyone voted for the White Lotus Sect without hesitation. They slaughtered those officials and raised the flag of rebellion. At the beginning, our side Is it taken over by the White Lotus Sect, or after two years of good times, at least there is no need to pick mushrooms to eat.

Later, the troops of the imperial court arrived and started to fight.Just fight, the court won't let us live, the White Lotus Sect can at least have enough to eat, for that meal, we have to take out a knife, right?It’s just that the imperial court sent more and more people.”

He touched the scar on his face, "After another two and a half years of beating, it's almost impossible to hold on here, and the rest of the village followed suit. Only Aunt Cheng refused to leave. Waiting for the people in my own family. Forcibly taking her back with her, she would cry and make a fuss, roll on the ground, and hit her head against a pillar. Everyone had no choice but to send her back again."

After a pause, Er Niu continued: "Although Aunt Cheng is crazy, she still remembers all the work. Even if she is alone, she can take care of a small piece of land and a vegetable garden, and there is still some harvest. I can live on. Occasionally, people from the village came to have a look and brought some things for Aunt Cheng. Of course, they didn’t bring much. After the war started, everyone’s life was difficult. More and more, don't fight the Allied Forces of the Four Nations, hit us first. The life is even more sad, and even this side is occupied by the people of the court for a long time. I came here to see it. Aunt Cheng’s grain was taken away, and when I came, she was gnawing bark.”

"."

Gu Dan and Xun Ke listened silently, and moved their eyes to the mass of Guanyin soil not far away.

The bark has also been eaten!
