I cultivate immortality only by mouth

He Xiugu spent a lot of talking and talking, and finally let He Tai understand that she is a fairy, and there is no pregnancy out of wedlock, no Nezha, and no stool.He Tai was dubious, so she took out the fence and turned it into a big net to catch a little ghost that was haunting the suburbs. She happily showed it to her father, and almost scared He Tai away.

Shi Zili called He together, and then avoided, leaving the three members of their family to discuss the matter.He squatted at the door and waited all night. When the door opened again, the eyes of the three of them were all red, as if they had cried while holding their heads, but there was joy on their faces.

Since then, He Tai and his wife have never mentioned the matter of He Xiugu looking for her husband's family. He Xiugu practiced with peace of mind and studied square dancing.Shi Zili is also happy to see her advance in cultivation, he doesn't believe that myths and legends can sway him. When the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, He Xiangu's magic weapon was a lotus flower. The questioning will soon be over.

But there was one person who was in a hurry. Shi Zili went out to buy soybeans one day, and was stopped on the way.He smiled and greeted: "What's the matter, little brother Lan? It's a hot day, look at your sweaty head."

Lan Caihe jumped onto his cart with an allegro in his hand, with a sad face: "Brother Shi, sister He, can you help us make peace?"

He was madly in love with He Xiugu, and although he didn't have the guts to come to propose marriage, He Xiugu had rejected all the matchmakers from all over the world. He knew that this girl had some kind of evil spirit, and no matter how good the man's conditions were, she would not marry if she didn't marry.As He Xiugu's cultivation level deepens, even ordinary people can see that she has an extraordinary charm, and her reputation spreads farther and farther. Even the son of the prime minister and prefect came to propose marriage. These people are useless, and Lan Caihe dare not think about himself .

He didn't have any skills, so he played an allegro and sang "Shu Lai Bao", half begging and half performing.The most important thing is that He Xiugu treats him mediocrely, and occasionally takes care of him, mostly out of pity, and has no affection for men and women.

Shi Zili stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled: "You've been figuring this out all day, isn't it interesting?"

Lan Caihe said slyly: "I don't want to think about these things. I don't have any land to farm, and I don't have a restaurant to open. How about, Brother Shi, can you give me a job? I can do any rough and tiring work."

It's fake to work for him, but it's true to take the opportunity to approach He Xiugu.Shi Zili said: "I really have a job for you. Only you can do this job in Zengcheng County. But it has nothing to do with my lady, it's my private matter. Would you like to help?"

"Why don't you want to?" Lan Caihe's chest thumped loudly, "Brother Shi, just say what you want."

Although he is a little slippery, he is loyal and straightforward like a small man in the market.Shi Zili had a good impression of him, Fuer said so and so, and finally said: "This matter is done, it may be your chance."

Seeing Lan Caihe leaving happily, Shi Zili shook his head, this opportunity is not that chance, it has nothing to do with the love between men and women, but it may help Lan Caihe rank among the immortals.

Soon, a nursery rhyme spread in Zengcheng County. Walking in the streets and alleys, children could be seen everywhere clapping their hands and singing: "Zhaozhou Bridge, who built it? Who kept the jade railing? Who rode a donkey on the bridge?" Let's go, who pushed the cart over the ditch?"

This nursery rhyme spread more and more widely, and gradually spread, singing more than half of Yangcheng.Lan Caihe worked extremely hard. In half a month, he climbed over several hills, walked around the streets and sang on the board, bought candy with the project funds from the pebbles to attract children, and taught them to sing word by word.This tune is also catchy, which has won the favor of many children.

This was originally a small part of the "Eighteen Sons Tongue Twisters" of later generations, which was picked out by Shi Zili.He privately sighed to Feng Yu: "This is a genius who was born in the wrong era!" Lan Caihe must be a good player in publicity and promotion if he wants to put it in the modern age. , that's all at your fingertips.

When the nursery rhymes spread widely, he set up an altar beside a stream near Zengcheng County, and turned into a Taoist priest with a sense of immortality.This creek is the place where the common people get drinking water. When people come and go, some people with good deeds will come up to inquire. The stones and gravels are not taken for a penny, and they do the fortune-telling. They do three fortune-tellings every day. Because the fortune-telling is extremely accurate, it soon became famous.

Lan Cai and Chao Standard completed the tasks assigned by the organization, and they were exhausted, so they turned over several mountains and returned to Zengcheng County, non-stop looking for Shi Zili to return to life.On the way to Heji Tofu Shop, he heard someone yelling in a low voice: "Selling plums, sweet and watery Sanhua plums, freshly harvested from Wengyuan Sanhua Town, don't ask for money if they are not sweet!"

Lan Caihe grew up among the crowds of different schools and classes, and he was familiar with street vendors in Zengcheng County, but this voice was very familiar to his ears.In this hot day, I have traveled a lot, and when my mouth is parched, the thought of sweet and sour plums makes my mouth water.

From the sound alone, he was already showing his old age, so he searched around, and found an old man in ragged clothes and a slightly high forehead in the corner. I fumbled for a basket of plums.

During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it was rare for an old man of this age to come out to discuss business. Lan Caihe looked at the hot sun, frowned, took out the money and said, "Please weigh me two catties." Send it to the tofu shop, Everyone gets a point.

He was too cash-strapped and couldn't buy much. He looked around and came up with a plan. Allegro beat him, and he started to play with his mouth: "Zhaozhou Bridge, Lu Banxiu, the jade railing is left by the sage, and Zhang Guolao rides on the bridge on a donkey." , Prince Chai pushed a cart and ran a ditch."

This is the second half of "Eighteen Tongue Twisters", answering the previous questions. These days, Zhang Guolao and Chai Wangye have not become famous all over the world, so it was Shi Zili who told him a story.

It is said that Lu Ban built the Zhaozhou Bridge and said that the bridge would never collapse, which provoked Zhang Guolao and Lord Chai to make a bet with him. Lord Chai put the three mountains and five mountains into a cart and pushed them away. With the sun as the donkey's head and the moon as the donkey's tail, the two slipped across the Zhaozhou Bridge, leaving only the rut and donkey's hoof marks, and the Zhaozhou Bridge stood still.They were willing to bet and admit defeat. Lord Chai gave Lu Ban many treasures, and Zhang Guolao rode on the donkey from then on.

Lan Caihe just stood in front of the stall and sang, getting excited and doing somersaults, causing the people to gather and applaud.He folded and repeated, and when he was thirsty, he took plums to eat, which made everyone's heart itch, and it took a lot of time to applaud, so some people paid for plums. After a taste, they liked sweet ones People who tasted it were as sweet as honey, and those who liked sour were sour, and they all praised that this basket of plums was sold out within an hour.

"Old man, go home and rest." Lan Cai and the old man stood up, afraid that he might not hear, and shouted loudly, "Where is your home, aren't you a local?" raised it.

The old man said: "Wait, I forgot to take the towel box."

From the place where he was sitting just now, Lan Caihe really saw a small box for a headscarf, took it and handed it to the old man.The old man seemed to be too old, and he talked incoherently. He couldn't tell where he was from, and he couldn't tell what he was doing in Zengcheng County, and he forgot how many members of his family there were.

Lan Caihe had no choice but to lead him to He Ji Tofu Factory first, where He Xiugu was making soy milk, and told him that Shi Xiaoer was playing by a stream outside the city, and seeing him sweating profusely, he sighed, A bowl of warm soy milk was served to him and the old man.

Lan Caihe couldn't move his legs when he saw the goddess, and was reluctant to leave, so he took out plums and invited her to eat.He Xiugu knew that Shi Zili was planning a major event recently, so she was afraid of delaying the time, so she said: "Brother Shi has been waiting for a long time, you see him and come back, let's talk again."

"It's when business is busy, why is he running outside?" Lan Caihe wanted to hang on for a while, and said casually, "I can't run for half an hour this time, I'm too tired , take a break and go again, okay?" Holding a bowl and burying his head in drinking soybean milk.

As soon as the words fell, someone stamped him.Lan Caihe pushed the man's hand away: "Oh, what are you doing!" He dialed twice and poked again, he turned his head half annoyed, saw that it was an old man, calmed down, and asked softly, "Grandpa, what's the matter?" Huh? What do you remember?"

"It won't take half an hour. You're tired from running. I'll take you there." Smiling, the old man took out a black paper-like object from the towel box, blew on it, threw it on the ground, and it turned into a donkey.

He spoke slowly: "Shi Xiaoer is the one who taught you the songs? Interesting, interesting."

Lan Caihe almost spat out the soy milk he had just drank, his lower lip was trembling: "You, you, old man, you... who are you?"

"Don't you know," the old man quoted a line from the lyrics, "Who rides on a donkey bridge?"

Mother, it's Zhang Guolao!Lan Caihe sat down on the ground.

He Xiugu's expression changed slightly, she didn't feel anything unusual about this scruffy old man at all, she didn't expect that it was Shi Zili who invited you into the urn.She half blocked Lan Caihe, Fang said: "Zhang Xianweng, that man has been waiting by the stream for a long time, Brother Lan didn't know about it, please don't blame him."

She and Shi Zili didn't expect Lan Caihe to lead Zhang Guolao to the shop by himself.He Xiugu only knew that she was going to be a colleague of Zhang Guolao in the future, so she was not very afraid, but she didn't know that Lan Caihe was also destined to be among the Eight Immortals, she was afraid that Zhang Guolao would take his anger out on him, so she hurriedly interceded for him.

Zhang Guo was a poor old man who sold fruit before he became a fairy, and he also saw all kinds of living beings, watching blue flowers and their actions, not only he was not angry, but he was a little appreciative.Thinking that the Eight Immortals still lacked two places, this Lan boy has a good character, so he can be considered, he is the best candidate, and when the matter is here, he will recommend this person to Tieguai Li and Han Zhongli.

On the other side, Shi Zili received a system prompt: "Congratulations to the player for getting the [Small·Indulgence in Dance and Blue Harmony] card, [Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Each Shows Their Magical Powers] deck collection progress: 3/8."

He smiled slightly. To put it bluntly, the Eight Immortals are Taoism’s example of struggle for the people, and a model that ordinary people can become gods.

Lan Caihe was born in the market, and he is down-to-earth enough to speak for the people at the bottom.

The author has something to say: ps: There are many legends about the Eight Immortals, and there are various settings. I took some settings according to the needs of the plot. I am happy with you, so don’t take it too seriously. Like Lan Cai and He Xiangu who are secretly in love are actually It's a rumor, but if it's not so realistic, I really don't know how Brother Lan appeared on the stage [cover your face] Sanhua Li was born in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, so let's use it for now
