White tea legend

Chapter 20 Poor Man

His Highness Chonghua took his four subordinates: Miao Ji, Yan Bo, Ting Jian, and Da Fei to search the world, but could not find the whereabouts of Prince Danzhu.

Prince Danzhu must be hiding from them on purpose. The six realms are so vast that it is indeed not easy to find him.

"If he doesn't exist in the human world, then we will go to the demon world and the underworld to look for him. We will find him eventually." His Highness Chonghua made up his mind.

Just as he was about to leave the human world, he heard the cry of an old woman.

Along the way, His Highness Chonghua had tried his best to ignore the secular affairs of the world, just so as not to delay his journey to find someone. However, the old woman was really crying miserably. His Highness Chonghua couldn't bear it, so he said to Immortal Lord Yan Bo: "In the human world, The old woman is crying because her children are unfilial and her husband is unkind. You are the god in charge of human ethics and morality, so I leave you here to do some justice for her."

With that said, he led Miao Ji, Ting Jian and Da Fei Xianjun to continue searching for the whereabouts of Prince Danzhu.

Immortal Lord Yan Bo lowered his head and followed the cries to see a courtyard. For ordinary people, this courtyard was not a small house, which showed that the owner's family was not a poor family.

It’s just that the courtyard is full of rags. Immortal Lord Yan Bo can smell the stench of rags even when standing on the roof. But the old woman holds a bowl and sits among the rags to eat. She cries while eating, and she can’t stop crying. Eat vigorously too.

Except for the old woman, there was no one else in the house. Only a few free-roaming chickens were jumping around among the rags and crowing from time to time, which was in response to the old woman's cries and kept her from being too much of a one-man show.

Uncle Yan then turned into a mortal, came in from outside the house, and asked the old woman what kind of difficulties she had encountered. He could help solve the problem.

The old woman held her bowl and sighed:
  "When a person gets old and becomes useless, he is rejected by his husband and children."

His Highness Chonghua's guess was indeed correct. It was indeed a family dispute involving stale sesame seeds and rotten millet. It was not unusual for the gods to see so many sufferings in the world, but for this old woman, it was a tragedy in her life. .

If a grain of ashes from heaven falls on a mortal, it will be like a mountain that will crush you to pieces.

Uncle Yan asked the old woman if she could explain it in detail. Even if he couldn't solve any practical problems, he could still be a listener. When a person is crying, what she needs most is someone to listen to her cry and let go of the depression in her heart.

The old woman brought a bowl of water to Immortal Yan Bo and a small pony for Immortal Yan Bo. Immortal Yan Bo drank water next to the rag pile and listened to the old woman's detailed account of the past:

The old woman and her husband had two sons and two daughters. Before giving birth to the two sons, she gave birth to more than two daughters. However, due to illness or other reasons, several died, and only two survived. Before the old woman gave birth to her son, she had been ridiculed by her neighbors. Even when she brought her mother-in-law to visit relatives, she was ridiculed by the neighbors, saying that her grandparents were crooked and had to wear a diaper on their face before they dared to go out.

The old woman was secretly angry and vowed to make her neighbors angry, and finally gave birth to two sons.

The old woman worked hard all her life to save the family property for her two sons to marry and have children. She was diligent and frugal, and allowed her husband to go out to make a living. She also used her two daughters to marry off and earn some money as gifts. Finally, she earned two shares of the family property for her two sons. .

Now the two sons have married their own families. Although the old woman's husband is old, he has found a job as a housekeeper in the Yamen. The two daughters are married, leaving the old woman alone to look after the house. Although the old woman was old, she was used to being thrifty and could not afford to be idle. She went to the streets every day to pick up rags and pile them up at home to sell for money. The two sons and the two daughters-in-law disliked the piles of rags and stench in the house, so they became increasingly reluctant to come back. Even the old woman's husband and her husband spoke harshly to the old woman. The old woman thought back on her life, how many hardships and hardships she had, but in the end she did not get much gratitude and understanding. Instead, she got some resentment, and repaying kindness with hatred was nothing more than that.

After hearing this, Immortal Lord Yan Bo was also filled with sighs, and then he gave the old woman advice and asked her: "What do you want most right now?"

"I want my children to come back to see me often." The old woman's request was simple.

Immortal Lord Yan Bo said: "It's simple. You tell me the address of your children, and I will invite them back. But before they come back, you have to throw away these rags first."

How could the old woman be so willing? These rags were all picked up with her hard work and could be sold for money.

Immortal Lord Yan Bo said: "Then I will help you sell these rags. Can you not pick them up in the future?"

The old woman couldn't do it: "If you don't collect rags and sell them for money, you won't have money. I want to save more money for my children and grandchildren."

"You have saved a lot of property for them during your lifetime. Have they ever been grateful to you?" The old woman shook her head. Instead of being grateful, she had many words of resentment. Otherwise, she would not have to sit among the rags and cry bitterly.

"Maybe your children are not greedy for how much money you give them," Xianjun Yanbo explained to the old woman. "What they want is not what you can give them with money. Maybe your children and husband are not as good as you said. It’s unreasonable, maybe you have your own problems too.”

Immortal Lord Yan Bo has already seen that this old woman also has a very problematic character. She cannot be slapped, and she is so unhappy with her husband and children. It seems that she is not as innocent as she said.

Naturally, the old woman was offended by Immortal Yan Bo's words. She took Immortal Yan Bo's water bowl and drove him out of the house.

The old woman continued to cry, and the Immortal Lord Yan Bo was too lazy to care anymore. Poor people must be hateful, not to mention that no one in this story was a heinous person who needed to be taught a lesson by the Immortal Lord.

Immortal Lord Yan Bo wanted to walk away, but he thought that after all, this was the task given to him by His Highness Chonghua, and it was not easy for him to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

Just when Immortal Yan Bo was in a dilemma, the miracle doctor Lu Yu fell from the sky.

Miracle Doctor Lu Yu carried a bag on his shoulder, a folding fan in one hand, and a square crystal box in the other. In the box, a green plant was rooted in the black soil and spreading its leaves.

"This miraculous doctor has been ordered by Heavenly Lord to take Bai Cha to travel to the lower realms to accumulate some merits so that he can help Bai Cha become an immortal as soon as possible. Why don't Immortal Lord Yan Bo hand over this difficult case to this miraculous doctor?"

Immortal Lord Yan Bo glanced at the tea in Miracle Doctor Lu Yu's arms, and felt relieved. He bowed to Miracle Doctor Lu Yu and said, "Thank you so much, Miracle Doctor."

Immortal Lord Yan Bo said and left in a hurry, fearing that Lu Yu would regret it.

In Xiting, Bai Cha asked Lu Yu: "Since this matter is so difficult, why do we have to meddle in it?"

"Firstly, we have nothing to do. Secondly, we need a place to stay. This house is a good fate in the mortal world. Thirdly, this old woman was crying so sadly that Xianjun Yanbo didn't want to care about her anymore. If If you can manage her well, you will have accumulated some merit, which will be beneficial to your practice."

It's whatever the miracle doctor Lu Yu says.

"I listen to you. I listen to you in everything."

So, inside the house, the old woman was crying when she heard a slow knock on the door.

……

Over there, Immortal Lord Yan Bo quickly joined His Highness Chonghua, hesitant and understated, saying only that the old woman's matter had been properly resolved.

His Highness Chonghua was eager to find Prince Danzhu, so he did not investigate in detail.

When His Highness Chonghua was searching in the lower world, he didn't know that Prince Danzhu had already taken the Immortal Shi Ruiyu to the Heavenly Palace.

The demonic cholera in the human world was originally a trap set up by Prince Danzhu. He only waited for the death and injury of countless sick children in the human world and no one could solve this problem, so that he could offer a cure, so that Tianjun would have a good impression of him again. , changed his reputation in the six realms, and let the six realms know that he is the prince of heaven, not some Chonghua Highness. Who knows that the 1892 medicinal herb essences in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" have returned to their places, and the hemp demon and cholera have been pacified, disrupting the situation. Prince Danzhu’s plan. Tianjun exiled the demon to Danshui, and all the six realms knew that the demon was the attendant of Prince Danzhu, which suddenly pushed Prince Danzhu to the forefront.

Prince Danzhu was disgraced, how could he dare to return to the heavenly realm to see the Lord of Heaven?

However, His Highness Chonghua wanted to search for him in the lower world and persuade him to return to heaven. How could he let this credit fall on His Highness Chonghua again? It would be better to go back to heaven himself.

Ruiyu couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw that her analysis was accepted by Prince Danzhu, who also changed his schedule and returned to heaven.

The prince of the heaven should live in the heaven. He is always wandering in the lower world. Even he, an immortal servant, has to live in the open and cannot live a peaceful life. What's going on?
