"My dear, Meng Mo, I am lucky enough to meet several Taoist brothers today. I am truly lucky."
When the middle-aged man in blue shirt saw a visitor coming, he immediately put down his erhu and stood up to greet him.
"Fellow Daoist, you are polite. We meet each other by chance. We are destined to meet each other." Sa Shoujian "recognized" the middle-aged man's cultivation level at a glance. He is a fifth-level spiritual immortal and has just entered the immortal path. However, he did not feel proud of his status, but returned the courtesy slightly.
Meng Mo smiled, his spiritual cultivation was high but he was not arrogant. The level of disciples like Li Er was getting higher and higher.
"Yes, we are all friends. We are all destined to meet today. Han Xiangzi has no other talents. He can only prepare a small amount of wine. I hope you don't take it too seriously." Han Xiangzi said with a smile. He was not high in cultivation, but he just felt that these They were all immortals, and their cultivation levels were higher than his. He couldn't tell if they were broken down.
"It's already a blessing for two or three friends to sing while drunk." Jiang Shan said with a smile.
Han Xiangzi was immediately delighted and asked people to prepare fine wine and delicacies. After a while, a banquet was prepared in the courtyard.
"It is said that there are many immortals on the coast of the East China Sea, so I left my hometown and came here alone. I wanted to ask for a visit to the real immortal. However, it has been three years since I came to the coast of the East China Sea. Not to mention the immortals, there are very few outsiders here. I never thought that today would be the end of the world. I have met so many immortals." Han Xiangzi took the lead in raising his glass.
"Because there is a lot of excitement on the East China Sea, we came here. Although Brother Han has not yet attained the immortal way, he can still be considered to have entered the path of cultivation. How come no one teaches how to practice?" Jiang Shan asked doubtfully.
"To be honest, my family was originally from a wealthy dynasty in Dongsheng Shenzhou, practicing Confucianism and Taoism. The elders in the family scorned the search for immortals, thinking that it was a coward who avoided the world. However, my younger brother's talent was mediocre. Apart from the sound of the flute, he could read the Four Books and Five Classics. I don’t know much, so it’s hard for me to take on a big job, so I thought about seeking immortality and visiting the Taoism. However, after all my efforts, I only got a few residual tips for cultivating immortality, but it’s hard to achieve the Taoism,” said Han Xiangzi.
"That's it." Jiang Shan smiled and thought, Han Xiangzi's elder, Han Yu? The normal timelines are related to each other, but because of his own fault, Han Xiangzi was born early, so it should have nothing to do with it. However, the timeline of this world has happened countless times, so it is really hard to be sure.
"Everyone has his own destiny. Some people practice the path of immortality and understand the way of heaven, while some people want to walk the path of humanity in the mortal world and benefit all people. They are all on the path, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior." Sa Shoujian said.
"What the Taoist Master said is that it would be great if the elders in my clan could think like the Taoist Master. However, although I will not become an immortal in this life, maybe it will be a great blessing in my life to meet all my Taoist friends and immortals when I was young. " Han Xiangzi said.
"That's not necessarily true. I think layman Han is free and easy by nature, and he may not be able to become an immortal in the future." Sa Shoujian said with a smile. He has a profound Taoist practice, and he vaguely felt that Han Xiangzi was destined to be a Taoist sect, and he might be able to rank among the immortals in the future, but the time has not yet come. arrive.
"Then I accept the Taoist priest's auspicious words." Han Xiangzi said with a smile.
"Immortals have their way, and people have their way, and they are all in the way. But if Brother Han only wants to see the scenery of immortals, I will go to Abbot Island soon to pay homage to Emperor Donghua. I wonder if Brother Han is willing to go with me?" Jiang Shan said.
Hearing this, Yaohua and the others looked surprised. They did not expect that Jiang Shan would take the initiative to invite Han Xiangzi to Abbot Island. Although it was not a big deal, their trip was not safe. They did not expect to bring Han Xiangzi with him. Individuals, but they didn’t say much. The Lion and Tuel King completely believed in Jiang Shan, and Yaohua and Sa Shoujian were mainly because Jiang Shan was assisting them this time. It was considered a semi-vacation, so it was okay to take someone to Fangzhang Island. A piece of cake.
"Thank you, Taoist Brother Fusheng." Han Xiangzi was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately raised his glass to pay respect.
He has sought immortality and visited Taoism in his life, but he has not seen many real immortals. Now that he has the opportunity to meet the legendary leader of male immortals, the Lord of the Sanxian Immortals of the East China Sea, how can he not be happy in his heart?
I just feel that going to the East China Sea to play the flute today is the second best thing I have done in my life.
As for the most right thing, of course it was to go to the shore of the East China Sea to play the flute and meet the Dragon Girl the day before yesterday.
"Fu Sheng?" When Meng Mo heard this, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Shan with a slightly strange look.
"What? Fellow Taoist wants to go too, so we can come together." Jiang Shan said, although it was the first time they met, but for some reason, he felt an inexplicable familiarity with Meng Mo, and he didn't reject it in his heart.
It is not difficult to take people to visit Emperor Donghua, because meeting Emperor Donghua itself is not difficult. Emperor Donghua is not the Jade Emperor, nor is he the Four Emperors. Although he is the Lord of the East, in fact, he has no political affairs. , on the contrary, he often entertained guests and invited immortals from all over the world to come and gather with him.
There is nothing wrong with Jiang Shan taking two people to see the world.
"Thank you so much, fellow Taoist. But after hearing the name of fellow Taoist, I feel that I am destined, because I have a song called Ruomeng." Meng Mo said with a smile.
"Life is like a dream, that's fate." Jiang Shan smiled.
"Yes, the world of mortals is full of life, including birth, old age, illness and death, joy, anger, sorrow and joy. When you are immersed in it, you can't extricate yourself. You think this is a big thing. But many years later, when you look back, you will find that it is just a big dream. That's all. Dreams are like life, and life is like dreams." Meng Mo said.
"Life is reality, and dreams are illusions. Dreams are derived from reality, but they are different after all." Jiang Shan said.
"But life is full of pain, but dreams bring peace and happiness. But people in the world seek peace and happiness and hate pain." Meng Mo said.
"Most of the truth is not beautiful, so it is true. But many times, the word truth trumps everything. Illusion is like a bubble. Although it is beautiful, it is fleeting. Therefore, it is called a dream bubble." Jiang Shandao.
"So between the beautiful falsehood and the painful truth, Brother Tao chooses the painful truth?" Meng Mo said.
"No, I choose the beautiful reality. Most of the reality is painful and not beautiful, but there is beauty after all, and I believe I can create such beauty with my own hands. As for the illusory beauty, although it is beautiful, it is illusory, and unreality itself is Not good enough." Jiang Shan said.
"It needs to be beautiful and true at the same time. Brother Tao, this is greedy." Meng Mo said with a smile.
"If I am the only one who thinks so, it is greed, but this is what people want, and almost everyone wants it. It's just that some people do it, and some people can't, so it's not greed." Jiang Shan said.
"Okay, I have a song called Ruomeng, please appreciate it." Meng Mo said with a smile.
"All ears." Jiang Shan smiled.
Meng Mo immediately took out the erhu and played the erhu again. The sound of the erhu was quite deep, but in his hands it seemed like there were endless stories to tell. And it seemed that what Meng Mo was playing was not the strings on the erhu, but the people. Heartstrings.
Jiang Shan didn't notice anything strange, so he immersed himself in it. By the time he noticed a trace of sleepiness coming over him, it was already too late. Even Jiang Shan couldn't cheer up and looked at Meng Mo in disbelief.
"Have a good dream and see if the illusory beauty is beautiful enough."
Meng Mo smiled slightly, and Jiang Shan fell into a coma. Before he fell into coma, he only had time to glance at the moon before he fell heavily.
The smile on Meng Mo's face did not change and he continued to play the erhu unhurriedly.
Many servants of the Han family also fell to the ground and fell unconscious, leaving only the sound of the erhu echoing in the huge mansion.
