Chapter Seven: Human Immortals, Ghosts and Immortals Are All Immortals
Chen Changsheng asked: "Can Lord City God manifest a human body?"
The City God replied: "To be honest, sir, although the incense of the little god is meager, it is still possible to manifest the true body."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng quickly waved his hands and said, "No, Lord Cheng Huang has misunderstood. Chen didn't mean that."
However, the City God didn't seem to care and said: "It's true that the incense is only a little bit weak, sir, there's no need to worry about it."
He seemed to think that Chen Changsheng should say this about him.
After all, how could a majestic immortal care about a little city god like him?
Chen Changsheng sighed again after hearing this.
Who can I ask to explain this?
Now that we have reached this point, we can only pretend to be brave.
"I'd like to toast you sir."
The city god poured wine for Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng did not dare to neglect, after the two of them had a drink together.
The city god then called Chen Changsheng and said, "Sir, please eat some vegetables."
"good."
Chen Changsheng nodded and tasted the dishes in front of him.
There are a total of thirteen dishes, including chicken, duck, and fish. Not only that, there are also fresh and sweet fruits on the side, which will relieve your tiredness after the meal.
Chen Changsheng was really flattered by such pomp and circumstance.
After Chen Changsheng tasted the dish, he asked: "How many years has Lord Cheng Huang been in office?"
The City God thought for a moment and said: "Probably, more than three hundred years, which is not a long time. The little god was originally the chief of Qiuyue Square during his lifetime. He accumulated virtues and performed good deeds throughout his life and had meritorious deeds. After his death, he succeeded to the position of City God."
"But sir, please don't call me "sir" again. I really can't bear it."
More than three hundred years is not a long time...
The corners of Chen Changsheng's eyes twitched slightly, but he quickly calmed down and continued, "How about Chen calling the City God the Old City God?"
"This..." Old City God thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's okay."
"good."
Chen Changsheng placed the gourd on his waist on the table.
"The Old City God went to the banquet to entertain Chen, and he waited for three years. Chen was flattered, but Chen only brought a gourd of wine. I hope the Old City God will not dislike it."
"How dare you, how dare you, it's a blessing for the little god to drink with you sir."
The Qiuyue wine was poured out, and the city god smelled the aroma of the wine and took a sip.
Then he came to his senses and said, "Is this the Qiuyue Brewing from Xiqiao Winery?"
"Exactly."
Chen Changsheng said: "The old man Zhang who makes wine and Mr. Chen got acquainted with each other because of wine. Every time Mr. Chen comes here, he has to pack a gourd."
The old city god said: "Sir, he is really easy-going and has the demeanor of an immortal when traveling in the market."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "I can't even call you an immortal."
The old city god didn't think much, raised his glass and said, "Drink with me sir."
"please."
Drinking wine and drinking wine alternately, pushing cups and changing cups.
With the wine and food on the table, the conversation started.
Chen Changsheng and the Old City God talked about Liuyun Temple again.
The old city god said: "The year before last, when there was a heavy snowfall, the master of Liuyun Temple took five poor children from the village and went up the mountain. It can be considered a great merit."
"Five?"
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but said: "Everyone is fine now?"
The old city god shook his head and said: "Of the five children, one froze to death when the snow melted. The other four survived safely and are now in Liuyun Temple."
"My life is full of misfortunes." Chen Changsheng shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.
The old city god nodded and said: "Life and death are normal. Some people are destined to be like this."
"Old City God also believes in destiny?" Chen Changsheng asked.
The Old City God paused after hearing this. He thought Chen Changsheng was testing him.
He thought carefully and then replied: "Believe it or not, everyone's destiny has long been determined, but there are also people who break the destiny and achieve it, just like Mr., who is outside the destiny."
"And the fate of the little god is to wait for the day when his merits are perfected. With blessings and fortune in his body, he may be reincarnated, and he may have a good life."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Old City God, do you think he is still destined to escape?"
The old city god nodded and said, "Even if you become a city god, you can't escape this fate."
"I won't hide it from you, sir. The little god has been guarding this place for more than three hundred years. Although there are incense and golden bodies, from the beginning to the end, I have been unable to leave here."
"I'm trying my best to invite you, sir. I also want to ask you to show me how to escape from this fate."
Chen Changsheng also knew that there would definitely be a disaster today.
But to be honest, how does he know this?
Things like destiny and immortality are all nonsense. As a mortal, what can he understand?
what to do?
Chen Changsheng felt a little confused. He calmed himself down and thought about countermeasures.
"Mr. Chen?"
Seeing that Chen Changsheng didn't answer for a long time, the Old City God took a step back and said, "Maybe the little god is being abrupt, sir, don't blame me."
Chen Changsheng raised his head and said, "That's not the case."
If he didn't answer today, he might be suspected. Besides, Chen Changsheng came here to ask for something, so he couldn't just let this opportunity go.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Changsheng said: "Actually, in Chen's opinion, Old City God, you may have misunderstood."
When the old city god heard this, he immediately became excited and asked quickly: "May I ask, sir, where is the difference?"
"Destiny is determined by fate, but..."
Chen Changsheng said: "Does the Old City God think that it is his destiny to become a City God?"
The old Chenghuang paused for a moment, looking stunned, "Sir, what you mean is..."
Chen Changsheng continued: "Maybe that's not the case."
"The so-called Great Dao Fifty, Heavenly Evolution Forty-nine, people escape one of them, it also means that there is a glimmer of opportunity. The old City God did good deeds and accumulated virtues during his lifetime, so he had the opportunity to become the City God. Isn't this a glimmer of opportunity found among thousands of people?
, jumped out of fate?"
"Life and death are impermanent, and the word "immortal" is obtained from those millions of people. There is actually no difference in essence between the two."
"In the practice of immortals, the vitality of heaven and earth enters the five internal organs, so they can live forever, while in the practice of ghosts and gods, they use incense and fire as food to protect all people, so there is a way to enter the body with merit, achieve a golden body of merit, and grow long."
The old city god thought carefully about Chen Changsheng's words.
His brows were furrowed, as if he couldn't figure out the reason behind this.
Chen Changsheng then continued to speak: "The immortals entering the body with spirit is cultivation, and the ghosts and gods entering the body with incense is not cultivation."
The old city god was greatly shocked after hearing this.
He raised his hand and said, "Sir, are you saying that ghosts and gods also have the opportunity to attain enlightenment and become immortals?"
Chen Changsheng nodded and said: "The reason why you can't get out of here is actually like an immortal with poor cultivation, unable to see higher levels. When your incense and merit continue to advance, where in the world can't you travel?"
The Old City God hissed, but after a second thought, he asked again: "But over the years, my incense merit has not increased much, what should I do?"
Chen Changsheng said: "If an immortal has a Taoist heart and a Taoist heart, he can move forward indomitably, but you, Old City God, have not firmed up your Taoist heart."
"Chen, please ask the old city god."
"Human immortals are immortals, so why are ghost immortals not immortals?"
The old city of Huangdun remains in place.
His lips were slightly open and he was speechless.
