The former Gu family is back, and the simple and kind folk customs of Shunjiang County are also back.
…
Above the clouds, two people stood side by side.
The man was wearing green clothes and holding a folding fan. It was Zhang Ling.
The other person was wearing a red robe, and he was the new City God.
Zhang Ling looked at the bustling crowd outside the mansion, filled with laughter and joy, and nodded, saying, "Good deeds should not lead to bad consequences. This is just as it should be!"
The City God stroked his beard, smiled, and agreed, "That's right. Since we are immortal gods, we should keep the common people in mind and remember our duties!"
There were smiles in the eyes of both of them, and they exchanged a few words before saying goodbye.
Zhang Ling descended from the clouds and landed on the ground. There was one last thing he had not done. Once this was done, he could leave and continue his tour.
In the evening.
The Gu family's house was brightly lit and a grand banquet was held. Almost every household in Shunjiang County came to celebrate this grand event together.
The banquet was held all the way to the streets, and everyone was chatting and having fun.
They either cursed Gu Dalang for getting his comeuppance, or lamented the difficulties that Gu Erlang had faced over the years, having to herd cattle and live in the cowshed, endure humiliation, and watch Gu Dalang destroy the Gu family's property.
The young man in green produced a piece of white cloth, wrote the words "Half Immortal!" on it, hung it on a long pole and swayed it in the wind, then stepped forward to the gate of Gu's mansion. A servant came up to him and asked him a few questions.
Zhang Ling smiled and shook his head, saying that he and Gu Erlang were old friends and that he came here to celebrate.
Upon hearing this, the servant immediately ran in to pass on the message. Soon, Gu Erlang came to greet him in person.
At this moment, Gu Erlang no longer looked shabby and downtrodden as before. He was wearing a clean robe, a jade pendant around his waist, and his hair was tied up with a crown. He looked handsome and elegant, with a glimmer in his eyes.
"gentlemen!"
Before Gu Erlang even came close, he clasped his fists and bowed, his attitude extremely sincere.
Zhang Ling smiled and nodded, then said, "Can I have a word with you?", and the two of them came to the back of a quiet and secluded rockery.
The young man in green waved his sleeves, separating the heaven and earth to prevent the sound from leaking out. He then took out a bamboo flute from his sleeve and handed it to the other party: "You are upright and noble, with a kind and wise heart. I give you this bamboo flute as a gift. You can hide it in a hidden place in your home. I will ensure that your Gu family will prosper for a hundred years and have a large number of descendants for a long time."
Gu Erlang took the bamboo flute and was suddenly amazed by what he said. He carefully examined the flute in his hand and suddenly wanted to return it respectfully: "Sir, such a generous gift, how dare I accept it for no reason?"
Zhang Ling waved his hand and said that things in the world are unpredictable and the world of glitz and glamour is dazzling. This bamboo flute is only worthy of upright and noble people, and not everyone can control it.
