All sentient beings throughout the ages seek to make progress.

In order to get more sunlight, the vegetation in the mountains will also grow taller, so they work tirelessly...

Even the grass and trees will compete for a foot of sunlight.

What about other living beings?

What does it mean to be a spiritual practitioner?

Emperor Shitian has become a Taoist king, and this is what he thinks.

As for those who have not yet achieved success in cultivation and are not even considered gods, should they give up their thoughts of striving and seeking?

Such as Meng Chengshen...

When he met Liu Yi again, he already looked like a sloppy old man, and even wanted to kidnap Greedy Wolf. However, unexpectedly, he and Liu Yi experienced life and death situations several times and became Taoist friends instead.

To this day, Meng Chengshen still has not cultivated to become a god.

Everyone else lives up to their name, but when it comes to Meng Chengshen, it's just the opposite.

According to common sense, if you cannot cultivate to become a god within a hundred thousand years, you will no longer have the hope of immortality in this life. Since you cannot find the way to immortality, you might as well spend the rest of your life in a carefree way.

This is what Meng Chengshen did.

When all the heavens and realms merged into one, when Liu Yi's reputation spread throughout the world, and when Meng Chengshen knew that the fellow Daoist Liu who had been with him back then was the sworn brother of Master Xue Yu, Meng Chengshen's thoughts and

His aura suddenly became high-end. He felt more and more that having such a friendship with Liu Yi was enough in this life and that his life was complete. As for becoming a god or not, it didn't matter.

So Meng Chengshen built a restaurant in a mundane city and became the shopkeeper of the restaurant. He sat behind the counter every day, entertained guests, and laughed at the various aspects of life.

If you pay attention here and see such a scene, you will definitely praise Meng Chengshen endlessly. You will praise this old villain for his progress and actually quitting his job...

As the saying goes: Being a thief is addictive.

Some people who are used to being thieves all know the saying "the thief cannot escape empty". A habitual thief must steal things when he climbs over the wall to enter other people's homes, otherwise he will feel itchy and extremely intolerable, even if

Even if it's smelly socks, it's like sesame seeds and rotten millet, so you have to steal one or two, so that you can feel at ease.

Fortunately, Meng Chengshen could endure it.

To this day, many worlds in the universe are merged into one.

And Meng Chengshen's restaurant is very spacious, and there are so many guests every day. It is inevitable that there will be the sound of drinking and talking, which echoes endlessly in the restaurant. In this world of spiritual cultivation, what the ordinary people talk about and yearn for are all spiritual things.

Even idle chatter cannot be separated from the word practice...

What is talked about the most is naturally the Taoism passed down by several Taoist monarchs and the previous leaders.

Among them, Liu Yi is the most outstanding.

Whenever someone mentioned Liu Yi, Meng Chengshen would bring a plate of peanuts, drink the best wine in the restaurant, timidly hide behind the counter, lie on a bamboo rocking chair, and rock.

Swinging, eyes squinting, legs kicking randomly, there is nothing to say.

One time, Meng Chengshen seemed to have really drunk too much. He actually pulled over a waiter and said, "Do you know, Mr. Liu Yidao is an old friend of mine. I remember that back then, Mr. Liu Yidao and I went through life and death and almost died.

I fell into the hands of an inner demon who was a disciple of Buddha, but fortunately I met Lord Kong Xuandao later..."

The waiter in the shop replied smoothly: "Then you, Taoist Liu Yi and Taoist Kong Xuan work together to kill the inner demons of the Buddha's disciples?"

"Eh? How did you know?"

"Shopkeeper, if you don't want to be the storyteller, you are simply undermining your talents. I can't believe what you say. After you say it, do you believe it yourself? If you have been through life and death with Mr. Dao, it will be my turn to give you advice.

Are you a waiter? In my opinion, your restaurant does not need to be opened in this mortal world. It is better to open it at the gate of Nantianmen and specialize in the business of those heavenly soldiers and generals..."

After Meng Chengshen chatted with the waiter for a while, he also amused himself.

Many times, the more you tell the truth, the less people believe you.

But Meng Chengshen no longer cares much about these things.

There are only two things he can do in life, one is to eat, and the other is to wait for death.

After all, you can't escape the limit of one million years of life, so why bother struggling?

Meng Chengshen has already seen through it. Dao Lord is aloof and has his own lineage of Taoism. Now that the leader is gone, Dao Lord is the most noble person in heaven and earth. How can he still think of him, Meng Chengshen?

However, Meng Chengshen also has Meng Chengshen’s troubles.

That is, a restaurant cannot stay open for too long in the same place.

After all, for ordinary people, living a hundred years is considered a long life.

Although the old villain cannot become a god through cultivation, he is still a Taiyi Golden Immortal and has a lifespan of millions of years.

So he would only stay in an enemy country for more than twenty years at most, and then give the restaurant to someone he thought was destined for him, and then pretend to be old, sick, and die, and then leave for another place.

Fortunately, after all the heavens and worlds merged into one with the enemy's big world, the world became vast and the world seemed infinite.

There are countless cities.

There are also countless strangers.

Meng Chengshen just followed his heart, wandering around, and finally stayed in a city for a long time, which has lasted for thousands of years.

This time, he no longer wants to be a restaurant manager.

He found a place with good Feng Shui in the deep mountains and forests outside the city, built a thatched cottage, lived there, and lived the life of a hermit in the mountains.

There is a big river that meanders through the mountains and forests, flowing next to the city.

The river is dim and has nine bends in total.

Along the mountains and dense forests, it curved nine times before it merged into the vast sea to the east.

Next to Meng Chengshen's thatched cottage, there is a small stream, which can be regarded as one of the tributaries of the big river.

The main reason why he settled here was because he found a strange stone tablet next to the creek.

The stone monument is several feet high and half a foot thick, like a tombstone.

On one side of the stone tablet, there is the word "town" written on it.

On the other side, there are four characters written on it: Jiuqu Yellow River.

Read together, it is not only the town of Jiuqu Yellow River, but also the town of Jiuqu Yellow River.

Anyway, God Meng Cheng can clearly see that the water of that big river is indeed golden. If it is under the bright sun and is illuminated by the sun, it will give people the illusion that the water flowing in the river is golden.

, which is the golden liquid produced by smelting red gold.

This stone tablet is the real reason why Meng Chengshen stayed and settled here.

Especially among the stone tablets, there was a desolate atmosphere from time to time, which made Meng Chengshen even more excited.

He often thought: "Maybe the chance for me to become a god is right here."

However, he was not very sure about this matter.

After all, there are so many things in the world that Meng Chengshen can't understand. What he doesn't understand the most is the Liu Yi he met in Hengshan. His cultivation level is obviously not as good as his, but there are many things he doesn't understand.

He had not seen each other for many years, but he had become the same Taoist master as Zhen Yuanzi and Kong Xuan. Similarly, he did not understand why Kong Sanwen, who was as famous as him in Hengshan, was actually transformed into Taoist king Kong Xuan...

On this day, Meng Chengshen was sitting outside the thatched cottage, holding a fishing rod in his hand.

The fishing rod is tens of meters long, and I don’t know what kind of material it is made of. It is sparkling, and it is obviously an immortal method.

The dense mist emerged from the river under the morning light, giving people the illusion of being in a fairyland.

Meng Chengshen was bored, shaking the fishing rod from time to time, hoping that a fish would take the bait, and suddenly he smelled a faint fragrance in his nose.

This is not the fragrance of flowers. God Meng Cheng has been in this mountain for thousands of years. He can smell the fragrance of flowers in this mountain...

The older people in the world get, the slower and duller they become.

But the immortal seems to be just the opposite.

Meng Chengshen is already old, with few million years of life left... If he hadn't slept for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, and developed a skill similar to animal hibernation, I'm afraid he would have

One million years of life have been spent, and the body is dead and the soul is gone.

Meng Chengshen could still see that the first time he met Liu Yi was when he first woke up from a dream.

Time is running out!

Meng Chengshen was filled with emotion and turned his head to look at the place where the fragrance came from.

Three women came from the depths of the white mist.

The woman in the middle was walking at the front, walking in a white dress from between the morning mist and morning dew. There was no trace of morning moisture on her body. Her dress was fluttering, her appearance was dignified, and she was extremely beautiful. She

It was like a cloud with no trace to be found. It just happened that a few dollars and a few dollars fell beside this creek today.

There were two women beside her, one was wearing a long emerald-colored dress, and the other was wearing an emerald-colored dress, as if she were wearing a jade, and she was unparalleled in beauty.

"Eldest sister! Second sister! Look..."

The youngest-looking woman suddenly stopped, pointed at Meng Chengshen who was fishing, and said: "There is an old man fishing in this deep mountain forest! In my opinion, he must be a monster, otherwise how dare he be alone?

, build a thatched house in the mountains and live there?"

The woman in the white dress did not speak, but the woman in the green dress shook her head, "Third sister, don't talk nonsense."
