In Jeju Prefecture, Shandong, the weather is hot.

In the dusk, the sun finally gave up the mountain. The earth that had been baked for a day only brought a little cool breeze.

The afterglow is like a colorful practice, dyeing the clouds and clouds all over the sky red. The two rivers meet at a bay, with lush water and grass around them, and a big red-leaf tree. Under the shade, it is a good place to cool off the heat and cool down.

Li Yu used his arm as a pillow and lay comfortably on the green grass, holding a straw pole in his mouth, staring blankly at the sky.

The world is full of vitality, the air is filled with the fresh aroma of grass, wood, soil, and there is no trace of the scent of steel and concrete. The sky is so clear that the stars are brilliant every night.

A guzzling sound came from his stomach, and Li Yu was thrusting his carp and got up to the river.

Carefully pulling up the fish net by the river and looking at the lively small green fish, Li Yu frowned slightly, the fish in the river were getting smaller and smaller.

Grab the small fish from the fishing net into the bucket. When you suck your hands, you feel cool and smooth, which makes Li Yu, who has been hot for a day, feel refreshed.

"So young, how can I do it?... It's a long flow of water."

He threw the three smallest fish fry back into the river, and Li Yu went upstream to get a corner of clear water, stretched his body and walked back.

He had already walked on this path and could go back with his eyes closed. After a while, he arrived outside a fenced yard. The wood door seemed a little shabby. There were a few willow branches on the door, which were dried for a day and drooped softly.

This weed house is on the edge of a remote place. You say it is biased, it is not far from the town. You say it is not biased, and there are no neighbors around you.

I opened the door and went in. Some vegetables were planted on both sides, there was a small path in the middle, and a simple grape trellis under the east wall.

An old man was sitting on a small bamboo chair under the grape trellis, and he was dozing off with his eyes.

When the old man heard the footsteps, his ears moved, and his eyelids said without blinking: "I'm going to catch fish again, it's really a rotten... a rotten wood..."

"The rotten wood cannot be carved. If I don't go to catch fish, we will starve to death."

"It's not enough to support it..."

"Okay, just say it's not good, your temper is rising every day."

The stubborn old man in front of him, with a slightly hunched back, leaning slightly against the bamboo chair, his skin was shriveled and wrinkled. The four words "Feng Candle" are the most suitable to describe him. The old man looked as if he was disappointed, and he was shaking the palm fan in his hand hard, unable to say a word.

Li Yu had been used to it for a long time and was too lazy to see him. He hummed a little tune and walked to the small furnace under the shantytown, and skillfully picked up the knife on the chopping board, and removed two fish in a few seconds and removed the internal organs and cut the knife on the blade.

After hearing the sound of a shattered knife, a few ginger shreds were as thin as hair. Li Yu nodded with satisfaction, took out a small bottle from his arms, sprinkled some salt into the clay pot on the small mud stove.

The fire brokers in front of him had been used up. Li Yu shook his head, twisted his fingers gently, and the fire-induced firewood was ignited in the flash.

The old man just glanced at him and happened to see that his turbid eyes lit up, and his eyes looked at the boy became complicated.

This kid is so talented that he is far superior to himself. The fire-attracting technique he just now was taught by himself. The next day he was already skillful than himself. His movements were clean and neat, without any delay, and he could not even find out if he didn't look carefully.

Unfortunately, he has no ambitions and is too greedy for comfort. This talent is wasted on him. Every time he thinks of this, the old man feels heartbroken.

Because of the plague nearby and the raging bandits, many people fled their hometowns. This grass house was originally an abandoned and unparalleled land, and it was clean and tidy, and even had a bit of the elegant taste of a secluded wise man.

Li Yu focused on making fish soup, first put the small stones picked up from the spring water into a clay pot and cooked them, so that the fish soup had a clear fragrance of spring water.

After covering the lid, Li Yu took out the newly dug quinoa and bracken from his bag, washed it and prepared to dip it in the sauce and eat it raw.

After a while, Li Yu took a wooden spoon and scooped it up. The fish soup was delicious. He first served a bowl and brought it to the old man. He took out the wooden spoon from a basket under the small bamboo chair.

"Old man Zhang, eat it, be careful of fish bones."

Although he taught Li Yu a lot of skills, Old Man Zhang never recognized Li Yu as his apprentice. In his words, because Li Yu did not have the compassion to save the world and was not worthy of becoming the descendant of his school.

"You're so evil, you're so evil! You're so good at learning the art of talismans, but you only know how to hide in this countryside, mountains and forests to avoid disaster!"

Li Yu was dissatisfied with it. Just relying on this side-minded way, he wanted to save all sentient beings?

"You like to help the people so much, why did you break your legs?"

Li Yu's mouth was like a knife, but he did not hurt Old Man Zhang. He just sighed slowly: "That's because the people were blinded by the demon monks, and they are also pitiful people."

When he is not in a hurry, he will not stutter. When talking about these old things, he can feel peaceful. This is what Li Yu admires the old man the most.

Old Man Zhang’s sect is very special. He requires his disciples to travel around the world after they have finished their studies. When they arrive at Qingzhou Prefecture, they encounter a plague. Nine out of ten families are empty, and the horror of despair permeates the earth. The rest can only hope for the temples they worship for generations.

Unfortunately, the monks closed the mountain gates and had enough food to make up their minds to survive the plague.

At this time, Old Man Zhang came. He sprinkled talisman water to cure the disease. The plague gradually improved, and those who were sick and waiting to die gradually recovered.

The people naturally thanked each other. Taoist Zhang wanted to leave, but a piece of news spread like wildfire, saying that Taoist Zhang was recruited by the plague this time, so he had the Fu Shui to rescue him, in order to earn money from the people.

The angry people surrounded Taoist priest Zhang and beat him. They vented all the resentment caused by the plague on Taoist priest Zhang, and turned to continue to worship the monks.

Taoist Zhang used Fu Zhu to protect his heart veins and pretended to die and escape, but his legs were also broken, and his tendons and veins were broken more than half. Only one arm could move with his limbs, and half of his body drooped like a shrimp man all day long.

Li Yu, who had traveled through time, happened to meet him in the wild and saved the old man's life. Both of them were helpless and supported each other until now.

Old Man Zhang taught him some skills, and Li Yu learned them very seriously, but he didn't even remember the kindness he wanted to instill in a word.

"I want me to say that this is the way of the world, and people are bullied by goodness. If this kind of grudge is put on me, I will take revenge even if I die!"

The old man wanted to speak but stopped. After a moment, he lowered his head and drank the soup.

"Have you ever thought about leaving here?"

Li Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "Where are you going?"

"Are you guys, I asked you, or are you asking me?"

Li Yu laughed without answering. He lowered his head to clean up the dishes and wiped his forehead. It was not dark in the distance and the moon had risen.

This world is not as simple as I imagined. Lao Zhang has learned almost all the skills, and it can even be said that he is better than his ancestors.

The old man traveled around the world, wandering around for half his life, and was knowledgeable. In his mouth, Li Yu roughly understood the world. This place is a coherent place of the six kingdoms. The familiar names in time and space all existed real and were outrageously powerful.

The heads of ordinary towns can easily break tigers and leopards and kill one person at a time. Not to mention those famous strong men...

Compared with them, the ability of his own talisman and talisman water can only be the light of fireflies, which is not worth mentioning.

"Let's go to bed, old man, tomorrow I'll go to the county to sell a few amulets and add some tea, rice, oil and salt."

"Amulet? It's another deceitful thing."

"This is not called fraud. They buy amulets to seek peace of mind. It is the same as going to the temple to burn incense. Money is spent on for the sake of comfort. Psychological things, mysterious and mysterious, can they be called fraud?"

"You wait..."

The old man said a lot today. Li Yu glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You say that the world is unfair, then what do you think is a public and a Tao?"

Li Yu blurted out: "You are fair, you are not bullied. The truth is that I am bullied and can take revenge."

While Li Yu was speaking, he pinched a flame with his fingers, hit the air, and instantly cremated a buzzing fly.

"This is Tao."

The old man was a little confused. This kid turned the magic trick he taught him into a killing skill...

Old man Zhang leaned over to the bamboo chair, picked up the smooth and cold broken palm fan that had been polished by him, and slapped it in one stroke, "Wrong, the king is the king, just like the world is the peaceful world during the Yellow Emperor. In this peaceful world, there is no oppression and goodness, nor is there any fraud and stealing, and the world is the common people; and what about Tao? Inaction transforms itself, tranquility is the beginning of heaven and earth, and the mother of all things. This is Tao."

No wonder yours is so declining, not very capable, but you have the whole world...

"If you want me to say that the greater your ability, you will be as energetic as possible. As the saying goes, you will benefit the world, and if you are poor, you will be safe. Do you think this is the reason?"

Old man Zhang shook his head, no one could convince anyone, and he might as well not waste his words.
