"snort,"
Seeing the wealthy businessman reaching out to grab him, Cheng Sheng did not dodge, but just sneered seemingly casually.
The next second, the wealthy businessman felt an invisible force pushing himself several meters away and fell to the ground.
Chengshuo raised his head, glanced at the wealthy businessman with contempt, and scolded with a smile: "The first one to eat crabs is a genius, the second one to follow suit can only be mediocre, and if there is a third one, then He can only be an idiot."
"And how can a mediocre person achieve enlightenment?"
The wealthy businessman who was overthrown to the ground by the invisible force was shocked. He knew that he had just collided with Chengsheng, so he knelt down and worshiped: "Young man has eyesight but cannot see Mount Tai. I hope the old god can forgive me!"
With that said, he knelt down and bowed to Chenghuo and left the crowd in despair.
——In order to complete the first step of enlightenment of 'transforming gods into mortals', the monks must first lose their cultivation and become mortals.
After dispersing and cultivating, one must always live as a mortal and realize the Tao as a mortal.
This is a prerequisite.
Therefore, after Cheng Sheng lost all his cultivation, he almost never used the power of his body.
The reason why he was able to overthrow the wealthy businessman in an understatement just now was actually the power of Tao that he had realized during the past year or so of painting the candy figures.
Everything in the world has its own way.
Sugarblower is no exception.
I calmed down and drew the life of Sugar Man for more than a year. Each outline seems simple, but in fact it contains the power of Tao.
This Tao is not the "Tao" of an indescribable creature, but refers to human spiritual power.
If a monk can master spiritual power, it means that he has reached the threshold of becoming a god and may succeed in enlightenment at any time.
As long as the transformation into a god is successful, this spiritual power can be transformed into the 'divine consciousness' unique to the monks in the transformation stage.
Divine consciousness has infinite uses.
…
Although the Zhao Kingdom is only a small country on the side of Guangyu Star, not under the jurisdiction of the sect, and there are almost no immortal cultivators, there are still many rich and noble families.
Not to mention there are many, but there are still many people who can afford a candy man with only ten taels of silver a piece.
So after witnessing the magical method of making a living, several rich people soon started to appear on the street, spending money to buy the candy man at the making a living stall.
What's more, he took out a hundred taels of silver at once, bought ten candies and ate them on the spot.
This went on for about a quarter of an hour.
Suddenly, among the crowd, a man with mud legs dressed as a salesman floated inexplicably from the ground to a high altitude, and stopped about one meter above the ground.
The purple-robed man who ate the candy man before and benefited from it sneaked out from the Zhao Kingdom's palace.
Since he is a member of the palace, naturally few people can recognize his identity.
But now the salesman who ate the candy man was different.
Among the passers-by, one recognized the identity of the salesman at a glance.
"The one flying in the sky seems to be the salesman named Nuo from the south of the city, right? He carries a cargo box around every day, and he probably won't make ten taels of silver a year. Unexpectedly, this sweet man who only has ten taels of silver a piece said, I bought it as soon as I bought it, and he actually made it happen!”
Although this salesman who gained enlightenment after eating candy had a name, many people in Daye City could recognize him at a glance.
But there are still doubters among passers-by.
Perhaps because they were afraid of being overheard, most of the doubters lowered their voices and only whispered to the people around them.
"I know this salesman named Nuo, his name is Nuo Feiwen. Not only does he go around the streets selling small gadgets, but he also helps people run errands, pass messages, and deliver letters. He is willing to do almost anything as long as you give him money."
"Maybe he took the money from selling the candy paintings and came here to work as a babysitter on the street!"
If there are doubters among passers-by, there will naturally be people who will refute the doubters.
"It's not necessarily a shill, is it? If you are not really enlightened, then you can tell me how the noble man in purple clothes and this guy in the past became so successful?"
"Isn't this simple?" the questioner replied: "The first possibility: the person selling the candy paintings is a monk, but this possibility is relatively small."
"After all, monks are not short of money, and there is no need to set up a stall in Daye City for more than a year just to get some money."
"So I am more inclined to the second possibility." The questioner gushed: "I suspect that the candy painting seller got a talisman that can make people levitate in the air from a certain immortal cultivator, and now he specially You brought these talismans here to deceive people."
"That salesman and the one in purple robe before used talismans to fly!"
While the doubters and counter-arguers were talking, the salesman who had eaten the candy man's momentum began to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye.
From the early stage of Qi training to the completion of the Qi training period, the salesman slowly landed from the sky to the ground.
When the salesman's relatives and friends saw him, they gathered around and chatted with the salesman with a hint of envy and curiosity.
"Brother Wenwen, are you really an immortal?" The person who asked was the cousin of the salesman Nuo Feiwen.
"How do you feel now? Did you learn magic when you first flew into the sky?" This is the salesman Nuo Feiwen's friend.
Faced with everyone's inquiries, the salesman Nuo Feiwen remained silent and turned his attention to Chengshuo.
His identity is no better than that of the man in purple robe.
After the purple-robed man attained enlightenment, he just rushed to Chenghuo and bowed, while the salesman Nuo Feiwen knelt down directly to Chenghuo.
He couldn't help but kowtow and say: "Disciple Nuo Feiwen, thank you for your kindness in preaching!"
At the Tang Huaer stall.
Cheng Sheng said nothing, only concentrating on drawing the candy figures on the bamboo pieces.
This went on for about a quarter of an hour, until the candy bunny on the bamboo piece was completely finished, and then he raised his head.
Seeing that the salesman Nuo Feiwen was still kneeling on the ground with great piety, he flicked his sleeves and used invisible force to lift the salesman up from the ground.
"Get up." Cheng Sheng seemed to be yelling at the vendor, but in fact he was saying to everyone present: "It's getting late. I'm going to close the stall. Please give way to all the guests."
After saying this, he carried all his livelihood belongings on a shoulder pole and prepared to leave.
Seeing that Cheng Sheng was about to leave, all the onlookers unanimously moved to both sides and took the initiative to make way for Cheng Sheng.
"Thank you!"
After saying thank you, Chengshuo picked up the pole.
With a stooped waist and dragging his old body, he got out of the crowd of onlookers with some difficulty and quickly disappeared into the streets.
Some passers-by tried to keep up with Cheng Sheng, trying to figure out where he lived and where he learned his skills.
But not even two steps after they followed, they suddenly discovered that Cheng Sheng, who looked weather-beaten and staggered, actually seemed to be able to shrink into an inch when he walked.
Every time he takes a step, he can distance himself from others by at least ten steps.
In just half a cup of tea, he easily left all the passers-by behind and disappeared without a trace.
…
At night.
The capital of Zhao State, in the Prime Minister's Mansion in Daye City.
"The little emperor has attained enlightenment?? How is this possible!"
In the lobby of the Prime Minister's Palace.
After learning that Emperor Zhao Yuan left the palace in disguise today and ate the candy monkey blown by an old man, he immediately became enlightened.
Prime Minister Bai Haosi stood up from his seat.
He showed an incredulous expression, looked at the staff standing respectfully in front of him and said, "Is this news reliable?"
"It's absolutely true!" Shuai Rong, the prime minister's staff, replied: "My subordinates have sent people to find out: after the emperor, the second salesman who gained success because of the sugar man killed someone in Daye City that night. You rogue, I injured and maimed three others."
Prime Minister Bai Haosi was startled when he heard this and said, "Why did you do this?"
"Perhaps I don't believe that the salesman has achieved enlightenment." Staff Shuai Rong said: "According to the information that my subordinates heard: there were no less than a dozen people surrounding the salesman at that time. As a result, the salesman killed those rogues in just a few breaths. They were all beaten to the ground.”
"The scoundrel who was beaten to death was probably because the salesman had just gained enlightenment and was unable to perfectly control his own power."
"It's unbelievable!" After listening to the narration of the palace staff, Prime Minister Bai Haosi couldn't help but sighed: "Once I had an epiphany, I could not believe that such a thing could happen in this world."
"Now, the little emperor really can't suppress it anymore." Bai Haosi said with a wry smile: "In the face of absolute power, no matter how much power I have, no matter how perfect the strategy is, I can't be the opponent of the little emperor. ”
"My lord, don't panic." Staff Shuai Rong said: "I have sent people to the Xuexia Sect overnight to send people from Daye City to ascend immediately. Once they suddenly enlightened and became monks, I informed the immortals of the Xuexia Sect. I believe that it will not be long before the Xuexia Sect. The sect will send people to Daye City to take the young emperor and the salesman under his wing."
Prime Minister Bai Haosi frowned and said: "Then what if the little emperor is greedy for wealth and wealth in the world and is unwilling to let go of the country of Zhao? What should we do if he does not want to join the Blood Cloud Sect?"
"Then we will cultivate our own immortal cultivators in private."
Shuai Rong replied: "Didn't the little emperor and the salesman achieve enlightenment after eating the candy monkeys painted by the old fairy?"
"Then we will also buy the old fairy's candy man, and then share it with my lord, your relatives, and the dead soldiers raised in the house."
"My lord has a lot of usable people. As long as one of them can achieve enlightenment and ascend, we will have the capital to compete with the little emperor. With two of them, we can backhand control the situation in Zhao country!"
——Whether it is on Guangyu Star or Xuanwu Star, monks can only fly with weapons after reaching the foundation-building stage.
And only monks in the foundation-building stage can learn some simple five-element spells.
The Qi-training monks are almost the same as martial arts warriors, and even a very small number of innate warriors among the warriors can counter-kill the Qi-training monks with the help of secular martial arts.
Therefore, monks in the Qi training period are not as unattainable as imagined.
If they do not join the sect, most of the Qi-training monks who are in the secular world will rely on the royal power and enjoy the wealth and honor in the world.
At the same time, it is precisely because of this that Prime Minister Bai Haosi and his staff Shuai Rong want to control a group of Qi-training monks and use them for their own purposes.
In fact, it’s not just the Prime Minister’s Office.
Including Zhao Yuan, the Emperor of Zhao State, all the high-level forces in Zhao State, after learning that the sugar painter survived, all focused on Survival.
…
The next day.
As usual, at dawn, Cheng Sheng was at home, making malt syrup using fermented rice and corn.
——The old man’s body that survived and died was called Zhang Gui, and he had three sons and one daughter.
Because Daye City was the capital of the Zhao Kingdom and land prices were extremely high, the three sons and one daughter and their families all lived in the same compound as the old man Zhang Gui.
But live together and return together.
In fact, these three sons and one daughter are not filial. Although the daughter is a door-to-door son-in-law, most of the door-to-door sons-in-law are poor.
So there is no hope at all.
The second and third children were involved in everything from food, drink, prostitution and gambling, so the old man never expected them to take money from home.
Only the boss who works as a helper in the yamen has some filial piety. He occasionally takes care of the old man Zhang Wei's three meals a day. But he is often stopped by his mother-in-law on the grounds that "no one else is filial, so why should you be filial?"
Therefore.
The old man just set up a candy painting stall in Daye City to make a living.
yard.
After Chenghuo had finished boiling the syrup, he suddenly saw his boss bringing a bowl of porridge and handed it to Chenghuo respectfully: "Dad, you haven't eaten yet, come and make a bowl of porridge."
The boss is a thoughtful person.
Perhaps because he was afraid that the porridge would be difficult to eat, he even put a few pickles in the bowl.
The pickles are very rough and have a slight bitter taste, but they go well with rice.
Living with pickles, he finished the rice porridge in the bowl three times, five by two, and suddenly said: "Boss, in the past year, you have served me a total of two hundred and twenty-three bowls of porridge. Do you remember clearly?"
"Why should I remember this?" The eldest son of the Zhang family said funnyly: "It's just a bowl of porridge. If I remember it, I can't still collect money from me at the end of the year, right?"
Cheng Huo said seriously: "In one year, I drank a total of two hundred and twenty-three bowls of porridge from you. I accept this. But when I went home for dinner at night, because you often looked down on me by your wife and you didn't discipline me, so the dinner was I won’t repay your love.”
As he spoke, Cheng Sheng suddenly conjured a large bag of silver from his hand like a magic trick.
A full two hundred and twenty-three taels.
The calculation of the weight unit of the Light Feather Star is in hexadecimal.
Therefore, two hundred and twenty-three taels of grained silver weighs a full eighteen kilograms. It is so heavy that an old man who has lived for more than one year can hold it in his hand, but it is as light as nothing.
Chengshuo handed the silver to the boss and said: "Two hundred and twenty-three bowls of porridge, I will pay you a total of two hundred and twenty-three taels of silver, please accept it!"
"Father." Seeing that Cheng Huo took out more than two hundred taels of silver in one breath, the boss showed an incredulous expression.
He said blankly: "Where did all this money come from?"
He smiled meaningfully and said, "Of course I earned it by selling sugar paintings."
With that said, he picked up the pole and staggered out of the Zhang family courtyard with all kinds of belongings that the candy seller would use.
In the courtyard.
The only one left was the Zhang family boss, who was confused and at a loss with the money, sitting alone in a daze.
Dad, selling candy, can actually earn more than two hundred taels of silver?
Do candy sellers make so much money?
…
Daye City, on the streets of East Market.
Before Chengshuo reached the place where he usually set up a stall, he saw countless passers-by on the street looking towards him.
The eyes of passers-by were filled with curiosity, respect, or fear.
Not long after.
When Chenghuo walked to the stall and set up the stall, he saw passers-by on the street spontaneously gathering in front of Chenghuo.
People either bowed or knelt down and saluted Chenghuo one after another.
Some people have even found out the last name of this body.
"I've met Old Immortal Zhang!"
