Seeking the Way of Immortality

There is a rule in Langnan City that prohibits outsiders from buying houses locally. Only when one family moves in can another outsider move in and buy a house.

In this way, the stable balance of the population in Langnan City can be guaranteed.

However, the outsiders who move in must go through the procedures at the local government office and register their names and other relevant matters.

After a while, Wang Dewang came out with a cane.

Wu Zheng stepped forward to support him, and the two walked towards the Langnan City government office.

The Langnan City government office is located in the center of the south city, only four or five miles away from where Wu Zheng is at this time. After leaving the "Wang's Carpenter", the old and the young walked towards the government office.

Although Wang Dewang is old, his body is indeed as strong as he said. He walks without coughing or panting, and is very agile and powerful. The cane in his hand hardly touches the ground.

In less than two incense sticks, the two have arrived at the county government office.

At the gate of the county government, two stone lions were carved vividly, mighty and solemn, standing on both sides of the gate of the county government. Two officials were standing at the gate with swords.

"Stop, the county government is an important place. Leave quickly if you have nothing to do." An official said coldly to Wu Zheng and Wang Dewang.

"Official, I came here to handle the transfer procedures. Please be accommodating." Wang Dewang said with a fist.

"Oh, in that case, you can go in and turn left to the household registration office." Another official said after looking at Wu Zheng and Wang Dewang.

"Thank you, official." Wang Dewang bowed.

After entering the government office, the two turned left and walked about a dozen steps. They saw a sign of "Household Registration Office" hanging on the door of a room, so Wu Zheng and the others walked in.

"Do you need to handle the transfer procedures?" An official sitting behind the table asked with a smile.

"Yes, I came here to handle the transfer procedures."

"Oh, what's your name?"

"Your Excellency, I am Wang Dewang."

"What about you?" The official looked at Wu Zheng.

"I am Wu Zheng."

The official flipped through a book on the table and said, "Wang Dewang, now 76 years old, the owner of 'Wang's Carpenter' in the south of the city, with three sons and two daughters, but?"

"Your Excellency, it's me."

"Wu Zheng, where are you from?"

Just when Wu Zheng was at a loss, Wang Dewang stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, Wu Zheng is the distant nephew of my wife Wang Liu, a resident of Yangyang City on the other side of the mountain."

"Oh, is that so?"

"Your Excellency, that's right." Wu Zheng said with a fist.

"Do you have a household registration certificate?"

"Your Excellency, I am from the mountains, not a resident of Yangyang City, so I don't have a household registration certificate." Wu Zheng replied.

He didn't expect that the transfer procedures would be so strict. Fortunately, Wu Zheng had seen the world over the years, so he was not afraid.

"Oh, so that's the case. Are you planning to settle here?"

"Yes, sir."

"Then where should old man Wang Dewang go?"

"Sir, I'm going to Yanjing to join my eldest son."

"Oh, okay, I'll handle the procedures for you right away."

"Thank you, sir." Wu Zheng and Wang Dewang bowed and said.

"Well, Wu Zheng, how old are you?"

"Sir, 22 years old, born on June 26th."

"Well, bring the household registration?" The official looked at Wang Dewang.

Wang Dewang immediately handed the household registration to the official.

After a while, the transfer formalities were completed, and the official handed Wu Zheng a piece of paper and said: "If you live in this city, you should abide by your duties, be honest and do things in a down-to-earth manner. If I find that you have done something bad, I will personally expel you from the city."

"Yes, sir."

Wu Zheng took the piece of paper and saw that it was written on it, "In the 788th year of Chongde calendar, on March 17th of the third year of Emperor Yuanqing, Wu Zheng, a citizen of Yangyang City, moved into the residence of Wang Dewang in Langzi City, and the witness is Qi Yuande."

After reading it, Wu Zheng clasped his fists to Qi Yuande and said: "I will remember your instructions and will not let you down."

The man waved his hand, and Wu Zheng and Wang Dewang understood and turned away.

"Old man, what do these 'Chongde calendar and Emperor Yuanqing mean?" Wu Zheng asked puzzledly.

"Oh, you're talking about this! Chongdeli is the name of the founding emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom, Yan Changqing, and it has been 788 years since then! And Emperor Yuanqing is the nickname of the contemporary Yan Kingdom's ruler Yan Mingtao, that is, the 13th generation descendant of Emperor Yan." Wang Dewang explained.

"Oh, that's it."

After a while, the two returned to Wang Dewang's residence.

Wang Dewang's wife Wang Liu was cooking, and Wu Zheng's residence had been cleaned up. Wu Zheng handed 120 taels of gold to Wang Dewang, and after Wang Dewang put it away, he chatted with Wu Zheng.

Wang Dewang said: "Wu Zheng, boy, just call me Uncle Wang! Don't be polite."

"Yes, Uncle Wang."

"Okay, Wu Zheng! Come, I'll take you around my house so you can get familiar with it in advance."

Wu Zheng nodded, and as Wang Dewang turned around, there was no extra wood in the yard, which showed that Wang Dewang had sold all the waste.

In the middle of the yard, there is a big locust tree full of locust flowers, and the whole yard is filled with fragrance.

"This locust tree is three hundred years old! It has been here since I moved in. I have been here for fifty years!" Wang Dewang stroked the big locust tree and said nostalgically.

A deep well, on the other side of the locust tree, next to it is a stone table and four stone benches. The whole yard was cleaned by the two old men without a trace of debris.

Only on the side near the corner, there are a few kinds of vegetables, emitting green.

There are no chickens, ducks and other livestock, I think they have been sold by the two old men!

It took half an incense stick of time for the two to go around all the places. Every time they arrived at a place, old man Wang Dewang would definitely reminisce for a while.

Wu Zheng did not urge him, but listened quietly.

"Old man, it's time to eat!" Wang Liu shouted.

Wu Zheng helped to serve the dishes. In the gap between serving the dishes, Wu Zheng quickly put the top-grade "Qi Condensation Pill" he refined into the dishes. It's not that there are no better ones, but the two old people can't bear the power of the better pills.

However, this pill alone is enough to change the physique of the two old people, and it shouldn't be a problem to live for another three to five years.

After all, Wu Zheng doesn't belong here. This is just a pure mortal city. He can't use his magical powers to completely cleanse the marrow and bones of the two old people.

Wu Zheng can only do this.

The lunch is very rich, with more than ten small dishes. Although they are not as good as those made in Yingkeju, they are Wang Liu's heart.

At the dinner table, the two old people kept picking up dishes for Wu Zheng. Wu Zheng was silent and could only bury his head in eating.

"Auntie, let me help you!"

After the meal, Wu Zheng took the initiative to help Wang Liu clean up the table, which attracted a burst of praise from the two old people.

In the afternoon, the two old men packed up their luggage, but without waiting for Wu Zheng to stay, they rented a car and drove away. Wu Zheng locked the door and followed them in the dark.

Langnan City is more than 200 miles away from Yanjing. The car the two old men rented was pulled by four horses, which could run more than 50 miles every hour. They had lunch early, so the two old men arrived in Yanjing just when it was getting dark.

Wu Zheng left with peace of mind until the two of them arrived safely at their eldest son's place in Yanjing.

When they returned to Langzi City, it was already late at night! You know, Wu Zheng's speed was already fast! Wu Zheng did not use his cultivation along the way, but ran on his feet.

The two old men were very enthusiastic, and it can be seen that their sons were very filial. When the two arrived in Yanjing, the three sons and two daughters of the two old men were all there.

This was obviously not a prior notice, but the result of several children waiting in Yanjing every day. Wu Zheng looked carefully for a moment and knew that the eldest son of old man Wang Dewang was an official in Yanjing.

Therefore, he knew in advance that the old man was coming, probably through some kind of communication tool between the government!

But these have nothing to do with Wu Zheng!

He is about to start a new journey.
