Gu Dan is extremely beautiful.
That kind of beauty does not simply come from the skin, but comes from all aspects.
The beauty of heaven and earth is loved by Dao Dao.
Even ordinary people would find it difficult to look away from him.
It is a beauty that transcends the world.
Any kind words in this world will pale in comparison.
It is close to the Tao, as if heaven and earth were transformed into being.
Not to mention these peasant women and children who had never seen much of the world in a small mountain village, Zhuang Sheng, who was still a master even if he had glimpsed the immortal scene, was stunned for a long time.
After not seeing each other for several years, the changes in Gu Dan's body can be described as 'obvious'.
He just stood there, without saying anything, and people couldn't help but stare at him, reluctant to look away even half an inch.
The beauty that is revealed inadvertently is a reflection of one's own conformity to the road.
The so-called immortals are probably nothing more than that, right?
Thinking about it this way, Zhuang Yun really wasn't wrong.
"Brother Kong, I haven't seen you for a few years. It seems that you have made great progress."
Zhuang Sheng quickly recovered as before, hugged the little guy who was staring blankly at Gu Dan in his arms, and said, "This is Uncle Kong. Say hello to him."
The last time Gu Dan saw Zhuang Yun, he was just a little baby, but now he has a somewhat tiger-like appearance, with his big eyes moving around, looking extremely agile.
"Hello Uncle Kong, are you an immortal?"
Zhuang Yun was not afraid of strangers at all. After saying hello, he approached Gu Dan, stared at him carefully, boldly stretched out his hand, grabbed the corner of Gu Dan's clothes, and then quickly let go.
It seemed that he was afraid that he would just fly away.
"Immortal? I am not."
Gu Dan knelt down and rubbed his head.
"Wow!"
After just two touches, Zhuang Yun jumped up excitedly and shouted loudly: "The immortal touches the top, the immortal touches the top! Daddy, it's the immortal touching the top! I'm going to become an immortal!!!"
Zhuang Yun was jumping around Gu Dan, extremely happy. He even stretched out his hands and pointed at the white clouds in the sky, as if he wanted to jump up.
"this?"
Gu Dan was a little confused.
"Ha, I just told him some mysterious stories. I didn't expect him to remember them in his heart."
Zhuang Sheng laughed.
The legend of the immortal touching the head is extremely popular among children in Ping'an Village.
After all, who doesn’t want to be valued by immortals and be taught the Tao?
In the whole world, I am afraid that no one can be found who can be as celestial as Gu Dan at this time.
No wonder the little guy is so excited.
I'm afraid that the story he told is regarded as true. After all, I have met the banished immortals and the Buddha, so why can't I attain enlightenment?
As soon as Gu worried about his thoughts, he understood. He picked up the restless little guy with a smile and said: "If you want to become a Taoist and become an immortal, you can't rely on others to caress you. You have to work hard on your own. "
"Uncle Kong, can you teach me how to practice?"
Zhuang Yun was extremely alert and asked without hesitation.
"Practice with me?"
Gu looked embarrassed, stretched out his hand to scratch the little guy's nose, and said casually: "It's not impossible. However, if you want to practice with me, you will have to leave home often, and it is very common to go for several years without coming back. . How about it, do you still want to practice with me?"
"ah?"
Zhuang Yun turned into a bitter-faced man, his eyes swept back and forth between Gu Dan, Zhuang Sheng, and his mother several times, and finally jumped out of Gu Dan's arms with a little pout.
"I want to follow daddy!"
Zhuang Yun turned around and hugged Zhuang Sheng's thigh without letting go, as if he was afraid that Gu Dan would capture him and not return home for several years.
"Hahaha!"
Gu Dan laughed.
The originally somewhat dull mood was relaxed a lot because of this little guy's farce.
"Brother Kong has returned. It's time to celebrate and have a banquet with wine."
Zhuang Sheng held Zhuang Yun's hand and took his mother-in-law back to his kitchen. He selected an extremely plump chicken from the yard, caught a duck, and started to slaughter it neatly.
When the chickens and ducks were put away and he was busy back in the kitchen, the mother-in-law held him back.
"I'll just do these."
"It's okay, it doesn't matter."
Zhuang Sheng didn't care.
"No, no, no, I mean, spend more time with that friend of yours."
The mother-in-law snatched the chicken and duck from his hands and whispered.
Even though she didn't know much, she had never traveled outside a hundred miles radius in her life, so she still had good eyesight.
How can you neglect a person like that?
It would be disrespectful not to stand up and offer incense!
How could we really just stand aside and let him wait?
"I can do these things well, you don't need to be busy here. Go ahead."
The mother-in-law pushed Zhuang Sheng out of the kitchen.
Zhuang Sheng had no choice but to wipe his hands casually on his body and move closer.
In the yard, Zhuang Yun was hanging around Gu Dan, wanting to listen to his story.
"What story do you want to hear?"
Gu Dan asked.
"Never heard of it before!"
Zhuang Yun said immediately.
"Is it?"
Gu Dan thought for a while and said: "Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a temple on the mountain. In the temple there was an old monk and a young monk."
At this point, he paused deliberately.
As expected, Zhuang Yun quickly asked: "What happens next? What happens next?"
"One day, the old monk said to the young monk, 'Once upon a time, there was a mountain, and there was a temple on the mountain.'"
There are a few more words to the story.
Then Zhuang Yun's originally cheerful little face turned darkened visibly to the naked eye, and he said nonchalantly: "You are cheating! No, no, no, this story is not good!"
"Oh? I can't even defeat you?"
Gu Dan raised his eyebrows, "Then what story do you want to hear?"
"I want to hear stories about immortals, stories about very, very powerful immortals!"
Zhuang Yun said categorically.
"Immortal?"
Gu Dan shrugged with an expression of embarrassment and said, "I'm really not familiar with this."
After a pause, before the disappointment could ripple across the little guy's face, Gu Dan continued, "But I have a story about a saint here. Do you want to hear it?"
"saint?"
Zhuang Yun scratched his head, "What is that? Is it more powerful than an immortal?"
Gu Dan said: "For some people, it is probably more powerful than an immortal."
"More powerful than an immortal?! I want to listen!"
Zhuang Yun's eyes flashed with surprise, and he nodded repeatedly.
Gu Dan added: "But this story is very long."
"It doesn't matter, I want to listen!"
"good."
Gu Dan nodded lightly and said: "Once upon a time, there was a country called Dayue. In Dayue, there was an emperor, we can call him Emperor Zongming. After Emperor Zongming became the emperor, he worked hard to rule for ten years, and the country was peaceful and the people were peaceful. .
Then one day, he suddenly came down with a strange cold. The doctors surrounded Emperor Zongming anxiously, but they couldn't find a way to cure him. "
"Ah? A good emperor doesn't want to die!"
Zhuang Yun covered his little mouth. The little guy got into the act quickly, his eyes full of worry.
Zhuang Sheng also came over, didn't speak, just sat quietly aside.
The story gradually moves forward.
And the 'plot' itself is beyond the understanding of a six-year-old kid.
Soon his eyes widened, and he changed from "A good emperor doesn't want to die" to "Why doesn't this bastard die?" The switch was seamless, the transition was natural, and it was sincere.
But the story is long.
So when Zhuang Sheng's mother-in-law called for dinner at the door, Gu Dan had just talked about the moment when Mo Qiu founded the Mo family and went to the palace to meet the 'bad emperor'.
"It's time to eat."
Gu Dan stood up.
"No!"
Zhuang Yun, who was listening in fascination, jumped up, grabbed Gu Dan's clothes and refused to let go, and asked one after another: "Where is the back? Did Mo Qiu kill that bastard with one punch?"
"Your father also knows this story, you can ask him."
Gu Dan immediately used the technique of "Golden Cicada Escapes" to divert trouble to the east.
Sure enough, the little guy immediately missed the target and flew to Zhuang Sheng's side, saying, "Why didn't daddy tell me this story? I want to hear this!"
"eat first."
Zhuang Sheng had no choice but to pat the little guy on the head and drag the reluctant little guy to the house with his thighs.
The table is already covered with dishes.
It can be seen that Zhuang Sheng's mother-in-law is very good at craftsmanship. The tables and chairs are also bright and clean, and the dishes are all delicious and delicious. You can smell the strong aroma even before you arrive.
It really is what he said back then, hardworking, considerate, and able to live a good life.
Have a hearty meal.
As we all know, it is extremely time-consuming to put drinks on the table for two adults. The two elderly people did not leave the table after eating and drinking, but drank slowly with the drinks.
In this remote and isolated mountain village, alcohol is a very precious resource.
But since Zhuang Sheng became the village chief of Pingan Village, life here has become more and more prosperous, and there is enough time to make wine for drinking. There are even people in the village who have opened a wine making place, which can collect some food to help people make wine.
Zhuang Sheng's wife pulled the reluctant Zhuang Yun out of here with a wink, leaving the two of them space to talk alone.
"Why didn't you teach Zhuang Yun martial arts?"
After pouring himself a glass of wine, Gu Dan asked first.
Judging from Zhuang Yun's age at this time, he has reached the age where he can practice martial arts.
With a grandmaster father around, I should adjust and sort out my own Qi and blood to lay the foundation for the future.
But there was no trace of any polish on Zhuang Yun's body, and he obviously hadn't started practicing martial arts.
"If he is interested, you can study with him. If you are not interested, there is nothing wrong with staying in Ping An Village. The scenery here is beautiful and isolated from the world, so it is not a bad place."
Zhuang Sheng touched his gray beard and said.
"Oh? But I think that child is very curious. I'm afraid he won't be happy to stay here forever." Gu Dan said.
"Just let him do it, and live your life as comfortably as you want."
Zhuang Sheng said quite casually.
He does not have a high desire to control his descendants like many fathers. On the contrary, he even seems a little out of tune.
He does not plan anything in advance for his child, nor does he intend to interfere with his future life.
In Zhuang Sheng's view, most people in this world can only live for themselves.
Even so, there are only a handful of people who can do this smoothly.
Most people live most of their lives just for themselves, but they are still aggrieved and even depressed.
If you want to add one more thing, living for others is no longer something that can be done by 'guiding' and 'planning', but depends on personal fate.
He himself is a very casual person.
Fortunately, he is pretty good at 'living for himself', but he doesn't feel like he can arbitrarily dictate other people's lives, even if that person is his child.
If you have the heart to learn martial arts, you can learn martial arts. If you have the heart to farm, you can farm honestly. If you have the heart to go out and make a career, you can also go out and make a career.
Man is born free and does not need to add shackles.
Ordinary people are the vast majority in this world. As long as you are willing to be ordinary, there will always be many ways to survive.
And if you are unwilling to be left alone, then it depends on your own ability, and this is precisely the thing that is most difficult for others to interfere with.
After all, the immortal caressing the top is just a beautiful legend.
"You."
Gu Dan shook his head, not knowing whether he should envy Zhuang Sheng's mentality or reprimand him for being so careless.
"Brother Kong is training me, I'm afraid it's unreasonable."
Zhuang Sheng didn't wait for Gu Dan to speak, then said: "We have been apart for several years, and I'm afraid you are the only one who can do such a thing. In this regard, I actually learned from you."
"."
After a brief silence, Gu Dan picked up the wine bowl and said: "Drink, drink!"
After several large bowls of wine, Gu Dan said goodbye and left.
After all, this is Zhuang Sheng's home, and he can't hinder Zhuang Sheng from enjoying his family happiness.
And he has his own problems to solve.
For example, the 'Tao Yun' that is displayed outside at this time is simply because he is afraid that others will not see his extraordinaryness.
Although this is one of the tangible manifestations of attainment, it is too high-profile.
Even if you don't get 'watched and killed', it's always a problem.
You have to find a way to hide yourself, otherwise you will be asking for trouble even if you go out. You can't really stay in the mountains and forests all the time, right?
He's not a savage.
Back in his thatched house, Gu Dan did a lot of experiments.
No matter whether it is the heretical disguise technique or the unpredictable martial arts cultivation that directly changes one's appearance, it is of no avail.
Even Gu Dan spent a lot of effort, directly referring to the immortal magic method "Spirit Hiding Method", and blending it with the method of integrating with nature that he learned when the carp jumped over the dragon gate for the first time, but it lost its effect.
At this time, he was like a luminous pearl shining in the darkness. No matter whether it was flat or round, the light was there.
He can be natural, but he can't help but stand out.
Even if thunder, rain and dew are all natural things, the dazzling thunder can still attract more attention.
As for the 'culprit' that caused all this, Gu Dan immediately targeted him.
He had just refined the acquired Qi, Blood Qi!
At this time, the blood energy was still in his heart, becoming the backbone of the blood energy throughout his body, resonating with his own body and undergoing some kind of transformation.
Until this transformation stops, no matter how he disguises himself, he cannot hide his 'extraordinary' qualities.
Qi and even treasures are the highest pursuit of Qi practitioners in ancient times, and are the tangible embodiment of the Great Dao.
Qi is not a self-obscuring thing. Their existence itself represents one of the supreme authorities of the Dao.
Even if it is acquired Qi, it will never be ordinary.
Finally, after spending a lot of time, Gu Dan finally found the most appropriate solution.
The kind that covers oneself so that one’s eyes don’t leak.
This is called cleverness but no work!
