“Selling jelly!”
A vendor passed by pushing a cart.
The entrance of the old community is filled with various stalls, selling breakfast, fruits, toys, and clothes. Looking down the street, it is a messy and old market.
They stayed in the past and became old people.
Li Yi is familiar with this place, it is the modern world he is familiar with.
"Is this the residence of immortals?" Xu Zhongxian's reaction was exactly the same as Feixing Zhenren's. "An immortal should not live in a well market. At least he should be surrounded by green mountains and clear waters."
“Why must there be green mountains and clear waters?”
"It's not always like this when you live in seclusion. This city is noisy and chaotic, and there are many inconveniences. For example, conflicts between mortal neighbors may disturb immortals, and some trivial matters always make people upset."
Xu Zhongxian's answer was not due to his status as an immortal, but to the hustle and bustle of the mortal world, which surprised Qingxuan a little.
"You seem to know a lot about the mundane."
The impression of ordinary practitioners on the mundane world is that it is the place where most mortals gather. But the focus of the mundane world is actually the latter, vulgar.
Mundane things are what disturb people's hearts the most.
The reason why the great hermit is so highly respected is that when a great cultivator really integrates into the mundane world, it is difficult to continue hiding in the face of mundane trivialities. For example, if you have no money, you can use extraordinary means to make money, and if you are disturbed by mortals, you can use extraordinary means to drive them away.
Qingxuan asked himself and realized that he was not at the point where he needed to hide from the world.
Xu Zhongxian replied: "All practitioners must enter the mortal world for inspection. In the words of your era, it means going deep into the grassroots. Generally speaking, we will choose to go to the Urban Management Bureau or school. After 10 years of training, we can obtain the resources to break through the golden elixir. This is also a training of the mind."
"I went to the Urban Management Department, which is similar to the police of this era. Because of my master's advice, I went to the department that handles civil affairs."
Xu Zhongxian recalled his original experience, and it seemed as if endless chaos flooded into his mind.
Endless trivialities, especially those middle-aged women who would quarrel over anything.
He commented: "Mortals are very noisy."
"Hahaha, that's true, but it's only for a small number of people. Most of the time you think it's noisy, but in fact many ordinary people can't stand it either, it's just that they can't escape this environment."
Qingxuan stepped into the hustle and bustle first, taking Xu Zhongxian through the traffic lights and walking into the community.
"The immortals are very nostalgic. A mortal has a poem about life and death after ten years. If you don't think about it, you will never forget it. The immortal is probably missing the past. This is ten years ago."
As time keeps moving forward, there will always be people who can’t keep up, and these are the people from 10 or even 20 years ago.
The tall buildings outside have no connection with this old city anymore.
As it is close to noon, the aroma of cooking can be smelled from many homes.
The aroma of food wafted into Xu Zhongxian's nostrils. It was said that when the Moon God was present, the White Jade Palace would often emit such an incense scent.
It’s a pity that I was only at the foundation-building stage at that time and was not qualified to set foot in the White Jade Palace.
Perhaps the immortal stays here because of this wisp of worldly air.
Entering the apartment building, they walked up the old stairs covered with moss and weeds. Xu Zhongxian's breathing became a little hazy and his body seemed a little tense.
Boom boom boom!
Qingxuan knocked on the door and it opened with a click.
A small figure was floating in the air, with a pure and transparent aura, a creature that Xu Zhongxian had never seen before.
Qiong Yu blinked and said, "Senior Qingxuan, you are here. Who is this?"
"Xu Zhongxian, a little fellow from the Immortal Palace era, wants to see the immortal."
Xu Zhongxian took a step forward and bowed slightly: "I, your humble servant, request to see you."
Guilty minister?
Qiong Yu tilted her head in confusion, but since it was Taoist Qingxuan who brought them, there was no need to stop them.
"Come in."
The immortal's residence is a very ordinary 2-bedroom, 1-living room apartment. It only takes four steps to pass through the entrance.
A woman with a cool temperament was sitting on the sofa. Xu Zhongxian only took a quick glance at her and then withdrew his gaze without even having time to see her face clearly. Because she was surrounded by an extremely powerful sword intent and there was an atmosphere of keeping strangers away, Xu Zhongxian did not dare to look at her for too long in order not to offend her.
Next to her sat a woman whom he had seen some time ago. She was known as the Flying General. Even though Xu Zhongxian had been ignorant in recent years, he had vaguely heard of this name.
Wei Xi, the immortal’s wife.
Xu Zhongxian quickly bowed and said, "Madam Wei."
Although I don't know what the situation is, it is true that Wei Xi is the wife of the immortal. After all, this kind of thing can't be said casually. If it's false, you will die miserably.
Wife is a blood relative.
As soon as he finished speaking, two gazes were cast at him, one of which was extremely cold.
"Ahem, Xiao Xu." Qing Xuan stood up at this time, pointed at Dong Yunshu with his palm flat and said, "This is the Taoist companion of the immortal, why don't you greet her quickly? Call her Madam Dong."
Another one?
"Madam Dong." Xu Zhongxian hurriedly bowed and saluted again, and the coldness all over his body disappeared.
"The meal will be ready soon, go wash your hands."
A plain voice was heard, and in a trance Xu Zhongxian seemed to see the exquisite carvings on the White Jade Palace, the tall courtyard walls, and the emperor and father standing high above him.
He looked back, and everything was gone in a flash, leaving behind only an ordinary man.
The man had regular features and wore an apron, looking like an ordinary househusband. No matter from which angle you looked at him, it was hard to associate him with the legendary immortal.
He is so ordinary.
It turns out that the immortal can look me in the eye.
