Lingwu: I am the only immortal

Chapter 340 From idle man to true god
Zhou Yi, who was eager to live an idyllic life for a few days, soon left Xuanjie.

The dimension of Xuanjie is both noisy and desolate. It is not a good place to relax and cultivate hobbies. It has to be the whole world.

In the end, Zhou Yi chose to settle in a country that had just finished fighting a few years ago.

Specifically, it is a coastal town that reminds me of Sicily.

He had never been there in his previous life, but he only heard from hearsay that it was sunny, exotic, and the gray-white rock buildings had local characteristics, etc.

The folk customs of the town are not very simple, because there is a sea route and it is close to the main road. Business travelers often pass by and bring news from far away, which constantly stimulates people's desires.

Once your knowledge is broad and your desires are heavy, it will be difficult to be simple.

Finally, it is relatively safe, even if you have desires and ambitions, you still think about how to make money.

The government office is in the three-day period when the newly opened thatched cottages are fragrant.

Because the war had lasted on and off for hundreds of years, the people were very war-weary.

Therefore, the kingdom cannot be said to be prosperous, but is in need of prosperity. As long as you are willing to work hard, you can do well even if you don't do well.

In this context, Zhouyi quickly became famous.

It's not because he is a foreigner. There are many people in the kingdom who have lost their homes, and labor force development is needed everywhere, especially in small towns where people are gathered by sea and land, so they are not exclusive.

Zhou Yi is famous mainly because of his leisure.

Zhou Yi is not lazy, because almost every day, he goes for a walk on the beach.And often participated in catching the sea and picking up seafood.

Don’t pick up too much, just enough for a day or two.

In addition, he likes surfing. He invented surfboards and surfing.I used to do this occasionally, but it wasn't a rule, and I didn't have much attention and skill. I just played randomly.

It was Zhou Yi who came up with tricks and techniques for surfing, which attracted many young people to imitate him.

But Zhou Yi was not popular because he never did serious things.Do not go to sea, do not participate in any work such as catching nets, repairing boats, growing vegetables, and transporting vegetables.

People do not understand that this is called low desire, but they use it as a negative teaching material to teach their children, saying that this kind of muddle-headed life, only focusing on the current way of life, will sooner or later be due to the horse's height, shortness of pedaling, or old age. , plagued by illness and fell into an extremely embarrassing and miserable situation.

From Zhou Yi's point of view, these days were actually very happy.

He has lived inland in his past and present lives, and many concepts on the seaside are full of freshness to him.

For example, seafood, he heard from experienced people, that eating seafood in coastal cities is considered authentic, not only because it is fresh enough and has no fishy smell, but also because it has been cooked and cooked all year round, with unique techniques that seem simple, but can control the heat. I can’t say it tastes great, but it does bring out the best of seafood.

However, this time he came to the coastal town but being an idler, in a way, was fulfilling his dream.

He is not in a hurry, and uses a lazy and slow-paced life to regulate his anxiety and change his habit of rushing to work.

In a flash, three years have passed.

Zhou Yi is still an idle man in the eyes of the town people.

But in fact Zhou Yi's life has changed a lot.

He was no longer as reclusive as he had been at the beginning.Every evening, he would come to the town's largest hotel and tavern to finish his meal, then drink three large glasses of ale until very late, and then go back to sleep.

He still lives on the half-part of the ship that capsized due to a shipwreck and was washed up on the shore many years later, resting on a stone bed.

The sea-breaking ship was originally a paradise for the children in the town, but later it became the scene of a murder case and became an ominous place. No one is willing to go there now.

As for Zhou Yi's money for eating and drinking every night, he relied on his unique cooking skills.

It is said that the core of this craft lies in some kind of secret edible spices.

With this spice, you can keep everything fresh. Zhouyi only made one dish, called seafood stew. To put it bluntly, it was a stew of sea vegetables, kelp, and sea clams. I didn’t choose what to stew, but it was delicious.It can make people eat heartily and still want to have another plate.

But Zhou Yi only cooks ten dishes every day. Basically, he prepares all the ingredients in the restaurant. When he arrives, he cooks and then goes out to eat and drink.

Once sold out, there will be no replacement, no matter what the reason.

Because of this, I had several conflicts with customers, but Zhou Yi refused to change, and it later became a characteristic.

Two years later, the newly grown children in the town began to be called Uncle Zhou Yi.

As far as appearance is concerned, he is more impressive from a foreign country, and he looks like a stranger who came here from a very far away place.But time has allowed the people here to accept him.

Zhou Yi felt that this was also related to his attribute of an idle man.

no threat.

Especially when the pretty tavern maid took a fancy to him, but was rejected by him without leaving any room.

Although there were rumors in the town that he was not good at that, the men in the town were much kinder to him from the bottom of their hearts.

Two more years later, the ale he drank every day changed from the cheapest to the best.

The seafood stew is so famous that some people would rather stay in the town for an extra day or two just to have this bite.

This also shows that with the development of the post-war decade, the economy has completely recovered. People have a little money in their pockets and are beginning to enjoy life instead of worrying about what to eat next.

The biggest change during this period is that people in the town are more respectful to Zhou Yi.

Because he was famous, dragons and snakes came around, and there were people who pretended to tease Zhou Yi, such as asking him to cook extra meals without being reasonable, or harassing the waitress excessively.

As a result, he was beaten into a pig's head with three punches and two kicks.

Then he called more than a dozen of his accomplices, but they were beaten into pig heads with three punches and two kicks.

He was so angry that he hired ruthless mercenaries.

In peacetime, mercenaries have little business, and have long lost the ability to run a normal life. The better ones can still find a place in the local security team, while the worse ones are in poverty, or even become bandits, and some people pay high prices to kill them. I am a cook, I can do it, and then I will go to other places. Wherever I have money, I will be my hometown.

Then there were still three punches and two kicks.

Zhou Yi didn't kill anyone, but this kind of depth of punching and kicking anyone who comes can still make people daydream. After all, no one is stupid.

Because of this, the maid took the opportunity to flirt back.

Otherwise, no matter how sentimental and romantic, Zhouyi is not ugly, it does not conform to the local aesthetics.

Coupled with the fact that he only cares about the comfort of his own life, and is dull and has no interest in communicating with others, it is strange to be liked by a girl, let alone to be liked by a girl.

Of course, this town flower has the smell of dust, and some don't. For example, the mayor's daughter was rescued by Zhou Yi, and she was obsessed with her for half a year and six months, but she still fell into love and wanted to lose her. Ruthless, it’s time to get married.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yi has lived in the town for 12 years. He was middle-aged when he came, and now he also showed an age that matched his age to a certain extent.

But Orientals do not look old, and Zhouyi, who has gradually settled down, exudes unique charm.

He has become a living landmark in this town, and the seafood stewing technique is becoming more and more sophisticated and spicy, and the taste is getting more and more attractive.

This is the first one. There is no golden finger that relies on proficiency. It is a craft that is accumulated bit by bit until it is perfect.It took ten years.

This year, all the princes and princesses came here to have a meal, and invited Zhou Yi to be the palace chef.

Of course Zhou Yi refused.

Fortunately, the king here has not yet evolved to the level of "leaving the land to be a king's minister", let alone showing off his power by eating one bite.

However, this random stew, which was originally not suitable for the table, became completely famous because of it, and the cooks of princes and ministers all imitated it.But everyone who has compared it says that Zhou Yi’s is still delicious.

Another ten years.

Zhouyi's beard and hair have turned gray.

But it still looks like the body of a sea dweller, the skin and flesh are rough but not sluggish, the muscles are vague and the tension is strong.

He still surfs from time to time, almost every time there are conditions on the sea.

But he is no longer the best at playing. There are rising stars who are better than him.

Of course, his status in the world is still very stable.

In the winter of this year, the old emperor died of a recurrence of his old illness.

There's nothing fishy about it, I had some hidden wounds when I was young, and winter is really hard to endure.

However, Uncle Wang, who once followed the old emperor to pacify the kingdom, couldn't stand his nephew, so he colluded with foreign countries to take the throne.

Although the prince is very popular with the people.

But people's support depends on how it is used.

Anyway, Uncle Wang is good at fighting and has rich experience. He also has a group of old brothers who have gone through blood and fire and are willing to help him. The prince and his loyal generals are not the same, especially the main force of the kingdom, which is a foreign country that has been colluded by the uncle. Border crossing, unable to turn back in time.

If you can't fight, just run away, and delay until the frontier troops return to the army.

Uncle Wang also knows that it is better to be a brave and poor bandit than to be a learned overlord.Just lead people to chase him personally.

Then he followed the official road and passed the small town.

Uncle Wang came out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood at the end of the Hundred Years' War. He was used to seeing dead people. The troops he led were tough but not very elegant.

When we arrived at the town, we wanted to provide all-round supplies, including giving the soldiers a big meal to vent their anger.

The townspeople were ravaged, and as soon as ghosts cried and wolves howled, Uncle Wang and his men were punched and kicked by Zhou Yi.

Two to three thousand arrogant soldiers covered the ground, looking for teeth together with Uncle Wang. The scene was quite shocking.

Only then did the townspeople know that the old idle man in this town was a god of war!
Wow, this is incredible.

At the very least, Zhou Yi's happy idle life is over.

Just when the northern frontier army asked for help, the foreign country that Uncle Wang contacted was actually the puppet of an evil god. He couldn't defeat it head-on, so he started to use evil things. The frontier army was going to be destroyed, and the kingdom was going to be in ruins.

The returned prince and his entourage pulled a crowd of young and old to bow: save the children!
Zhou Yi said: "Okay."

Then he appeared in the northern border of the kingdom, in the air, waving to the foreign army that stretched for twenty miles.

All the foreigners were destroyed.

The acquired road to life - the art of root restoration.Your life was cut off from the root, not only those on the front line, but also the aliens connected by blood, all died.

As for the evil god, no one has heard of the rumors of his manifestation since then, and all his followers died inexplicably. Even the name of the god and his deeds were quickly forgotten.

The people in the town completely understood that he was not the God of War, but the true God!
Zhou Yi never went back to the town again.The half of the broken ship he lived in became a holy place, and the day when he beat Uncle Wang and others to the ground became a holy day. When celebrating every year, one of the traditional ceremonies is a cooking competition, with various flavors. The seafood was stewed and everyone finished the sacrifice and had a lively meal.

Of course, surfing is also essential, but sometimes the weather is not good, so we celebrate in another season.

Although Zhouyi has disappeared since then and has never been seen again, his name is still widely spread and he has followers.

Since he did not use his real name, but called himself Kane, he was called the true god Kane, the god of justice.

Later, some good people, based on their life habits, developed teachings such as understanding the ordinary, taking only what is necessary, and tempering the body and mind in natural environments such as wind and waves.

What's more interesting is that the story about God Kane doesn't end here.

About 30 years later, what happened back then has become an ancient legend told by grandparents to their grandchildren. A believer in Kane suddenly discovered to his joy that his prayers were rewarded and he received divine power...

This is not someone taking the opportunity to cause trouble, but it is indeed Zhou Yi's handiwork.

Including those years when he lived in a coastal town, he had actually taken on the task of running the Netherworld and repaying debts to save the souls of the dead.

It's just that the focus of his thinking is on pastoral pastimes, and the other side is basically hosting operations.

But as for trusteeship, over the past few decades, I have also accumulated very profound experience in Taoism, Dharma, and God.

In particular, his workaholic nature has not been lost. He works like a god, with no breaks and multi-threading.

Therefore, Heavenly Dao is very rare for him, and Netherland seems to have simply assimilated him into the Netherworld dimension, that is, taking the initiative to merge with the Tao, Netherworld Avenue.

Whether it fits the Dao or not is put aside, with so much Shinto knowledge mastered, Zhou Yi wanted to use it while learning.

It just so happened that Heaven allowed him to be the master of mind, so he did.

However, it is also not his main consciousness, but an unconscious personality similar to an automatic processing device, which handles problems according to the regulations.

Just like an automatic vending machine, prayers are like stuffing coins, and divine power is like goods.

Because the prayers were handled mechanically, without fatigue, and with quick feedback, Kane's followers grew rapidly.

Moreover, with the announcement of dogmatic oracles and their meticulous execution, the name of the God of justice and strictness will be overshadowed by the name of the God of justice.

Moreover, according to the meaning of the Book of Changes, Kane's religion does not preach, does not form associations, and cannot afford a temple.

But because he is a true god, his power is real, he responds to requests, and he never loses control, there are still more and more believers in him.

In another 15 years, Kane Faith launched value-added services and linked up with the underworld.

Mainly because in the underworld, Zhou Yi and Hades were fighting, and the Dingkou was a bit insufficient.

To say that it took a long time for the god of the underworld to settle accounts with Zhou Yi from waking up.

I don’t know if it’s because the Immortals have different concepts of time, or because the ship is too big to carve the head.

Zhouyi probably has a little bit of it.

However, Zhou Yi had to admit that after the prepared Hades launched the war, the pressure was still quite strong.

The main trouble Zhou Yi faced this time was that he could not retreat and had to fight for every inch of land he gained.

It is at a crucial point that the underworld will go to hell. If he withdraws at this time, the previous debt repayment by super-duty will not be in vain. The problem is that if he is successful in counterattack by the god of the underworld, he will basically have no chance to repay the debt by super-duty in the future.

This business is what he is best at. Apart from this, he is very worried that he will be tied up in this world for tens of thousands of years before he has a chance to pay off his debts.

If you want to fight, you must have something to work with.

After Hades transformed the monster legion under his command into chaos, his orthodox tricks no longer had such a clear restraining effect.

The result is that we have to tear each other apart just like when we started the war with the divine guards.

Allowing Kane to carry out business in the back garden of life is only part of the plan to fill the hole.Zhouyi's ideas hit more people of the Lan Kingdom...
