Everyone is not envious and jealous of the scholar, but extremely envious and jealous.
A businessman has to carry a thousand steps on his back when climbing a mountain, and a scholar has to carry more than two thousand steps on his back. Not to mention helping to dig holes and plant trees later, this fate must be even greater.
"What do you want?" Su Qing asked the scholar.
The scholar thought silently, which made the others anxious.
"Be the emperor!"
"My son will be the emperor!"
"Be the emperor for generations to come!"
A group of people were eager to answer for the middle-aged scholar.
After all, this person looks too dull and his brain is not working very well. If he could help him make a wish to become the emperor, he would at least be a minister of the dragon.
Just when someone was almost unable to bear it any longer, the scholar thought clearly about his wish.
"Read all the books in the world."
puff……
Everyone who was about to suffocate to death almost vomited blood collectively.
A businessman's wish can reveal wisdom, but there is really nothing good about this wish.
If the book is interesting, you can buy it with money if you like it. Besides, this wish is too simple. Is it worth asking an immortal for it?
Unexpectedly, Su Qing's answer surprised everyone.
"It's too difficult." Su Qing said: "Learning is endless, and books contain ancient and modern books. Even if you read all the old books, there will be new volumes in the future. After reading all the books in the world, there are still books in the world waiting to be read."
The scholar said: "Then I will read books for the rest of my life."
Su Qing shook his head. "In this life, I wish not to care about the next life."
The scholar frowned and became embarrassed.
"Since you don't have an idea, let me think of one for you." Su Qing raised his hand and waved, and the fairy light flowed under the fairy apricot spirit root. After a while, a desk and a book box appeared.
"The book box contains all the books in the world. You can read your previous life here. How long this life can be and whether you can have a second book box depends on your destiny."
The middle-aged scholar was overjoyed. He ran over and couldn't wait to open the book box.
"This is the "Eternal Words to Awaken the World" that I have been looking for, and the "Six Classics" annotated by the great Confucian... Hey, you can find whatever you think of? Then... Hahaha, it sure does exist! Pre-Qin ancient scrolls... "
The scholar's rare laugh was uncontrollable, almost like a lunatic.
But at this time, no one regarded him as a madman, and everyone's eyes were almost bleeding with envy.
It’s not that I envy being able to read, but the profound meaning in the immortal’s words.
Scholars can stay on the fairy island and read books forever.
This is enlightenment and immortality!
Not only were others extremely envious, but the originally contented businessmen were a little unbalanced.
"Chief Immortal, can I change..." the merchant said weakly: "I can recite fewer steps than him. I don't want it for a lifetime, but only for decades, or even a few years..."
Others begged.
"I don't want any jewelry. I just want to serve the Immortal for a year and a half."
"A few months is fine, or a few days..."
Su Qing shook his head. "Don't force your fate, and don't be greedy. If you are greedy, you will lose what you have."
Everyone suddenly discovered that there were fewer gold and silver jewelry in their hands. The more you ask for, the more you reduce.
This time there was no need for Su Qing to cast a spell, so they all closed their mouths. Seeing the disappearing gold and silver jewelry, everyone felt heartbroken.
"His fate is different from yours." Su Qing glanced at the businessman again and said, "If it is just to help me go up the mountain, no matter how much it is, it is just a fate in the world. But planting the spiritual roots of the immortal tree will form a cause and effect with Penglai. , of course you can stay.”
Only then did everyone suddenly realize, and felt even more regretful in their hearts.
Digging holes to plant trees is much easier than carrying people up the mountain. Why didn’t I help at that time? Just dig the soil a few times and it will stay. Such a good thing is missed all the time.
Eh?
Suddenly someone reacted.
"Immortal, Immortal!" The old lady quickly led the child to the front.
"Do you still remember this child? He just helped dig holes and plant trees."
"Yes, he can help!" The child's father also ran over.
Both mother and son were very excited, but only the child looked confused.
As the old saying goes, a person can ascend to heaven if he attains enlightenment. If a child can become an immortal, they will certainly not be far behind.
"Grandma, it hurts me so much when you scratch me..."
The timid little boy didn't understand why his grandma and father were so excited, and he didn't know why other people were so envious. All I knew was that it hurt so much that I wanted to cry.
"This child is indeed destined for me." Su Qing sighed: "It's just a pity that the immortal fate was cut off by the world. Although I am interested, I cannot keep him."
The first half of the sentence made the mother and son happy. When I said the next words, I fell from the sky to the bottom of the valley in an instant. Such a strong gap made the two of them almost faint from depression.
I wanted to beg a few more words, but seeing the look in Su Qing's eyes and thinking of the punishment for greed, I had to give up the idea.
"Mom, why did you stop him just now!" The young man couldn't help but blame the old lady. "Children, go ahead and dig a hole, and play as much as you want."
"I, I..." The old lady also regretted it very much and pulled her hair out with hatred. But after a few moments of thinking, he came to his senses and started complaining to his son.
"You still dare to blame me for not thinking about yourself? The children at the foot of the mountain asked you to carry the fairy. But you didn't pay any attention to it. If only your brother was here, he is smarter than you..."
Su Qing ignored the mother and son and raised her hand to call the little boy closer.
"Although the immortal relationship has been cut off by the world, your relationship with me is still there." Su Qing took out a few things from his arms and said, "Choose one."
Snake eggs, bird eggs, animal teeth, turtle shells, small tripods, hoes, medicine pestles, innate Renshui.
When these things were taken out, everyone held their breath. Mother and son didn't dare to argue anymore, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
Obviously, there is an opportunity here. But which one to choose, no one can guess.
The boy looked around and pointed at the sharp teeth. "This looks good, I want this."
Everyone looked at Su Qing again, and the mother and son took deep breaths. It was as if his heart would stop beating waiting for any verdict.
Su Qing was silent for a moment and took back the others. He reached out and brushed the animal's teeth, and there was a lanyard on it. Then he helped the boy hang it around his neck and said, "Remember, this is for you, don't give it to others."
"Yeah, remember." The boy obviously liked it. "I don't want to give such a beautiful thing to anyone else."
"You two also remember." Su Qing turned to mother and son, her voice became much more serious.
"This thing is very bad, and those who are destined will be very lucky. It can be transferred to a higher value after the age of 40 years. Whether the recipient can bear it depends on the fate. If it is not given out, this throne will be taken back when the child's life is over."
The young man was a little scared when he heard the big omen, and he nodded repeatedly to show that he would obey.
The old lady also promised, but her eyes were a little wandering, and she obviously had some small calculations of her own.
Su Qing didn't point it out.
The animal teeth are the teeth of a prehistoric tiger, and are part of the bloodline of the Four Elephants White Tiger.
The white tiger is the master of killing, he can become a giant in the arena, he can be a very popular minister in the army, and he will be riddled with bones on the road. If someone wants to seize this opportunity, they are bound to become part of it.
It is a mortal saying that when a person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. In true immortality, all living beings are equal, and so are our close relatives.
"It's over, I'll give you a ride."
Su Qing waved his robe sleeves, and everyone, together with the things they exchanged, were swept into the fairy light and disappeared.
When something visible appeared, they arrived at the port they were originally going to.
When people saw people and ships appearing out of thin air, they were all surprised. Someone I knew happened to come over to say hello and ask questions.
"You, you are still alive? Everyone thought you were dead. It has been more than two years since you went to sea. Where have you been?"
…
The fisherman went out to sea, climbed to Penglai to look for immortals, and returned home in half a day. The friend was surprised and asked why he had not believed in him for half a year and thought he was dead.
