They were born as hunters, and they had never worked as farmers. They shamelessly asked Wang Wu for advice, but Wang Wu was enthusiastic and taught them step by step. Although digging for food in the soil is a bit more painful, it is more stable than hunting. These three families lived peacefully in this way.
If life continues like this, even though they are poor, they will still be able to eat. However, more than half of the land that can be cultivated at the foot of the mountain has long been cultivated by Wang Wu. Zhang San and Li Si received only a small half. These are growing as the needs of both families increase. The food for farming is gradually running out. At this time, Wang Wu began to plant fruit trees on the mountainside, preparing to use the mountainside as well.
Seeing their side starving, Wang Wu and his family had no worries about food and drink. This made Zhang San and Li Si feel a little twisted. Originally, this mountain was where they had lived for generations, and although Wang Wu had reclaimed the land after he came, it was originally his own. He has occupied half of the land, which means he has occupied half of the income. Now he still wants to build some fruit trees on the mountainside.
One night, Zhang San and Li Si finally couldn't sit still anymore. Together, they came to Wang Wu and asked him to give up half of his land, otherwise they would get out of the mountain. At first Wang Wu thought they were here to borrow food. Now I know they came to grab food.
How could Wang Wu agree to such a thing? He had been working hard here for more than ten years. How could he leave just as soon as he was asked to leave? It is absolutely impossible to ask him to give up the land. As a result, the three families fought hard, and Wang Wu, Zhang San and Li Si fought to their death.
The beating doesn't matter, it's a life-threatening lawsuit. Wang Wu's son was beaten to death by Zhang San and Li Si. When Wang Wu saw that his son was dead, it was okay, so he reported it to the police on the same day. The official sent a yamen servant over and took Zhang San, Li Si and a group of others to the yamen.
People suppressed the situation, and the government officials began to investigate the matter. It didn't take long for the official's people to investigate thoroughly and report the matter to the official. After hearing the report, the official held a trial the next day.
Gui Bugui paused when he said that, and he turned around and asked Du Jie: "Du Jie, in your opinion, is this the fault of Zhang San and Li Si, or is it the fault of Wang Wu?"
Du Jie didn't understand why Gui Bugui told him this story. He thought for a while and said: "Yu Qing, Zhang San and Li Si took Wang Wu in, but later wanted to occupy Wang Wu's land. This is somewhat overbearing. Yu Li , this land belongs to Zhang San and Li Si. To put it bluntly, Wang Wu is renting here to make a living. Zhang San and Li Si are the landlords, and Wang Wu is their family’s long-term employee. Zhang San and Li Si want to take back the land. It has been a principle since ancient times. Although they have gone too far, it is perfectly justified. .”
Gui Bugui nodded and said with a smile: "Yun Juanshu probably thought you would think so, so that's why I didn't tell you. You are right, this is the ancient truth. But... is the ancient truth the truth? "
Du Jie was confused by this sentence and asked: "Isn't the truth from ancient times still the truth?"
Gui Bugui laughed and asked again: "The Shang Dynasty replaced Xia, and King Wu defeated Zhou. Are these the principles from ancient times? Originally, those were not theirs. At that time, they were rebelling and treason. Are these the principles? ?”
Du Jie was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer. Gui Bugui continued with a smile: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers. This world belongs to the emperor, there is nothing for him to do. He only arrived there a few years ago. "
After hearing what Gui Bugui said, Du Jie continued: "Old Immortal Master, do you think it belongs to Zhang San and Li Si?"
Gui Bugui shook his head again: "Without Wang Wu, Zhang San and Li Si would have to farm to support themselves sooner or later. Wang Wu's arrival has squeezed their living space. Originally, this mountain can support forty people, and Wang Wu's family has many With one person, Zhang San and Li Si's family will lose one person. Is this fair to Zhang San and Li Si? What's more, when Wang Wu ended up here, it was Zhang San and Li Si who took him in. "
Du Jie was confused. He didn't know what the meaning of returning or not was. Is it a problem with Zhang San and Li Si, or Wang Wu, or both sides have problems.
There was no further discussion on whether to return or not, and he continued to tell the story.
The official already had an idea in mind when he opened the hall. He lowered his head and asked Zhang San and Li Si in the hall: "Wang Wu is suing you for killing his son. Do you admit your guilt or not?"
Zhang San and Li Si felt wronged. They felt that this land was originally theirs and had been occupied by Wang Wu. Now they killed someone by mistake during the dispute. The two refused to accept the crime and pleaded not guilty.
After hearing this, the official's expression showed no reaction. He did not impose any punishment, nor did he take any witnesses or material evidence. He just nodded, and then asked Wang Wu: "You are the victim, what do you want?"
At this time, Wang Wu wished that Zhang San and Li Si were about to die. He cried out to the county magistrate and told the county magistrate that the two of them would fight for their lives, and he would not give up until they were beheaded.
After hearing this, the official nodded and asked Wang Wu: "Do you believe or not what Zhang San and Li Si said about the land?"
Wang Wu didn't want to admit it at first, but Zhang San and Li Si had lived there for generations, and everyone in the county knew about it. I can only nod in recognition.
After listening to both sides, the official asked the master to show the confession to the three of them, and finally signed it.
After the three people signed and signed the bond, the official slapped the gavel tree hard, and then pronounced the sentence: "Zhang San and Li Si, kill to pay for their lives, and pay for their debts. I hereby sentence you two to be executed after the fall." The official didn't care about Zhang San and Li Si shouting that they were wronged, and asked Wang Wu with a smile: "How is it? Are you satisfied?"
Wang Wu didn't expect the lawsuit to be so smooth. He shouted loudly: "Sir, you make decisions for the people. You are really the master of Qingtian!"
Then the official waved his hand and said: "The sentence is not over yet? Listen carefully. From now on, Wang Wu and his family will return the land of Zhang San and Li Si." Before Wang Wu finished shouting, he heard the official The master asked him to return the land, and his whole body suddenly felt like a ball being crushed.
None of the three people expected this to be such a result. This confused county magistrate actually decided the case so carelessly.
Wang Wu reacted for a while, and then shouted: "Master, I won't sue anymore, I won't sue anymore."
The official frowned and looked at Wang Wu: "How dare you, this life case is not going to be prosecuted if you say you want to, or not if you don't?"
Wang Wu kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic: "Master Mingjian, my family depends on those few acres of thin farmland to survive. If they are returned, my family will starve to death. Master Mingjian, I will not sue, I will not sue."
The official watched Wang Wu kowtow one by one in the hall, with runny noses and tears, saying no more. The official asked again: "Wang Wu, are you really not going to sue?"
"I won't sue, I won't sue anymore. I just ask you to award those acres of land to me, and I won't pursue the lawsuit against them for killing my son."
The official asked Zhang San and Li Si again: "What do you two mean? If you don't agree, we will stick to the sentence just now."
When Zhang San and Li Si heard that they did not have to die, they hurriedly kowtowed and said: "We give in, we give in. As long as Wang Wu does not pursue the lawsuit, we will give up the land."
The official nodded: "Let's sign and seal it."
Such a case was settled so hastily. The people talked a lot and had different opinions, but the official did not mention it again.
The more Du Jie listened, the less he understood the idea of returning. He originally wanted to know why Yunjuanshu rebelled and went to pick immortals, but Gui Bugui told him such a story. What does this story have to do with Yunjuanshu? Could it be that Yun Juanshu went to pick immortals later, and then brought Yu Liuyun in too. There is not enough space for picking immortals, and others cannot enter. Did this lead to intensified conflicts?
Naturally, he didn't know what Du Jie was thinking. After he finished speaking, he asked Du Jie: "Xiao Du, do you think this county magistrate's sentence was confusing?"
Du Jie was a little hesitant. He thought about it for a long time and still couldn't decide. He could only say: "I can't think of anything wrong, but I always feel that there is something wrong with his judgment."
Gui Bugui laughed loudly, nodded and said: "You are not him, so you naturally think there is a problem. If you were him, then there would be no problem in his judgment. Not to mention that there is no problem, he would even judge it decently and appropriately."
Du Jie didn't understand, so Gui Bugui added: "You need to understand the truth yourself, and wait until one day to figure it out for yourself. Then you will understand Yunjuanshu's original decision, and you are the real picker. The Lord of Immortals.”
Du Jie had no ambitions to begin with, but now he is trapped in the whirlpool of the court and the world, unable to control himself. All this stems from Gui Bugui passing the position of Immortal Picking Master to him. Although three years had passed, he still asked with some worries: "Old Immortal Master, can I really be a good Immortal Master?"
Gui Bugui laughed loudly: "The Immortal Lord is not a precious thing, and no one will tell you what a good Immortal Lord is and what a bad Immortal Lord is. When I first became the Immortal Lord, I was so powerful that I shook the world and the firecrackers The three old boys, the Prajna Monk and the Prajna Monk, didn't like me and made trouble for me every day. Grandma, thanks to my cleverness, I used a trick of "two peaches kill three people" to keep them submissive, otherwise I would have to be suppressed by them. lifetime."
Du Jie had long noticed that Gui Bugui's thoughts were a little out of touch. Although he was very old, he liked to be humorous and would make fun of Du Jie. Although he said that other gods did not like him, Du Jie guessed that it was probably He deliberately provoked those people.
Having said this, Du Jie asked again: "Old Immortal Master, you always say that the mission of picking immortals is to restrain the world. Since you can't tell why Yun Juanshu left picking immortals in the first place, then you can always tell me the origin of Immortal Iron Succeeding, right? , you all say that I am a fortune teller, so the origin of this person should not be a secret."
Gui Bugui was a little embarrassed after hearing this, but seeing Du Jie's expression, he felt that he didn't say anything this time and felt a little sorry for him. Finally, he said: "Tie Suan Xian? Xiao Du, it's not hard to answer, so don't ask." He is an alchemist after all."
"Alchemist? Alchemist?"
"That's true, that's not true. The Iron Suan Immortal lineage is quite interesting. They are not affiliated with the Immortal Picking."
Gui Bugui thought for a while and continued: "The lineage of Tie Suanxian is also pitiful. As long as you inherit the mantle of Tie Suanxian, the remaining years will be determined. You can no longer do what you want. Their first hexagram is Forty-nine years of tribulations, followed by fortune-telling of the Immortal Lord, the fate of the court, and the direction of Feng Shui... After the sixty-four hexagrams were calculated, the Iron Fortune Teller was about to be passed on to the next person. They had no choice. Doing your own thing, you have been running for the general trend of the world all your life. There was once an iron fortune teller who had known a swordsman for a long time. When they were leaving, he gave him a hexagram on a whim. This caused the iron fortune teller to not follow the instructions of his ancestors. The sixty-four hexagrams were completed and one hexagram was added to the divination. This caused chaos in the world's fortunes. It took Iron Fortune Immortal several generations to find a way to make up for this hexagram. In those hundred years, the world was in chaos, and rituals and music collapsed. , people from all walks of life were killed everywhere, and nine out of ten households were empty. There are detailed records of that generation in the history books, you should know."
"A hundred years of chaos among the three tribes?"
"That's right, so every iron fortune teller is just a tool. They must complete their mission accurately. This is their fate."
Du Jie didn't expect that the Tie Suan Xian lineage would be like this, and he couldn't help but be filled with admiration.
