The strong from the wild

All living beings throughout the ages seek to make progress.

In order to get more sunlight, the vegetation in the mountains will also grow taller, so tirelessly...

Even the vegetation will compete for a foot of sunlight.

What about other creatures?

What about practitioners?

Di Shitian has become a Taoist monarch, so he should be thinking about it.

As for those who have not yet achieved success in cultivation, and are not even considered gods and men, should they give up the mind of striving and seeking?

Such as Meng Chengshen...

When he met Liu Yi again, he already looked like a sloppy old man, and even wanted to abduct Tanlang, but unexpectedly, he and Liu Yi went through life and death several times, and became fellow Taoists instead.

To this day, Meng Chengshen still has not cultivated to become a god.

Everyone else lived up to their names, but Meng Chengshen was the exact opposite.

According to common sense, if one cannot become a god within one hundred thousand years of age, there will be no hope of everlasting vision in this lifetime. Since one cannot find the way to immortality, one might as well spend the rest of one's life gracefully.

That's what Meng Chengshen did.

When the heavens and the world merged into one, when Liu Yi's reputation spread all over the world, when Meng Chengshen knew that the fellow Daoist Liu who was shoulder to shoulder with him at the beginning was the sworn brother of Venerable Xue Yu, Meng Chengshen's thoughts and feelings The boldness suddenly becomes high-end.He felt more and more that to have such a friendship with Liu Yi, this life is enough, life has been completed, and it doesn't matter whether he becomes a god or not.

So, Meng Chengshen built a restaurant in an ordinary city, and became the shopkeeper of the restaurant himself, sitting behind the counter every day, entertaining guests, and watching life with a smile.

If you pay attention to this place, if you see such a scene, you will definitely praise Meng Chengshen, and you will praise this old villain for his progress, but he has really washed his hands and quit...

As the saying goes: Being a thief is addictive.

Some people who are used to being thieves know the saying "thieves can't go empty".Habitual thieves climb over the wall and enter other people's homes. They must steal things, otherwise they will feel itchy and unbearable. Even if they are stinky socks or rotten sesame seeds, they must steal one or two, so that they can feel at ease.

Thanks to Meng Chengshen, he was able to bear it.

To this day, many worlds in the universe are merged into one.

Meng Chengshen's restaurant is very spacious, and there are so many guests every day, it is inevitable that there will be the sound of drinking and chatting, echoing endlessly in the restaurant.In this world of self-cultivation, what the worldly people talk about and yearn for is all about self-cultivation, and even casual chatter cannot be separated from the word self-cultivation...

The most talked about is naturally the Taoism passed down by the Taoist monarchs and the previous leaders.

Among them, Liu Yi is the most.

Whenever someone mentioned Liu Yi, Meng Chengshen would bring a plate of peanuts, drink the best wine in the restaurant, hide timidly behind the counter of the shopkeeper, lie on a bamboo rocking chair, swaying Swaying, eyes squinting, legs kicking casually, nothing can be said.

Once, Meng Chengshen seemed to have really drunk too much, so he pulled a waiter over and said, "Do you know that Taoist Liu Yi is an old friend of mine. Back then, Taoist Liu Yi and I were born and died, and almost died. In the hands of a demon of the Buddha's disciples, fortunately, I met Kong Xuandao later..."

The waiter in the store replied casually: "Then you, Taoist Liu Yi and Taoist Kong Xuan will work together to kill the demons of the Buddha's disciples?"

"Eh? How did you know?"

"Shopkeeper, if you don't want to be that storyteller, you're simply a contempt. I can't believe what you said. After you say it, do you believe it yourself? If you have lived and died with Daojun, it's my turn to give it to you." You are the waiter? From my point of view, your restaurant doesn’t have to be opened in this world, it’s better to open it at the gate of Nantianmen, and specialize in the business of those heavenly soldiers and generals..."

After Meng Chengshen chatted with the waiter for a while, he amused himself too.

Many times, the more you tell the truth, the less people will believe you.

It's just that Meng Chengshen doesn't care much about these things.

There are only two things in his life, one is to eat, and the other is to wait for death.

Anyway, you can't get rid of the limit of a million years of life, so why struggle?

Meng Chengshen has already seen through that the Taoist Lord is high above him and has formed his own orthodox lineage. Now that the leader of the sect does not exist, the Taoist Lord is the most honorable person in the world. How can he still remember Meng Chengshen?

However, Meng Chengshen also has Meng Chengshen's troubles.

That is, in the same place, the restaurant cannot be open for too long.

After all, for ordinary people, a long life of a hundred years is considered a long life.

Although the old thief could not cultivate to become a god, he was still a Taiyi Golden Immortal with a lifespan of a million years.

So he only stayed in an enemy for more than [-] years at most, and then sent the restaurant to someone he thought was destined for him, and then pretended to be sick and dying, and then left.

Fortunately, after the heavens and worlds merged with the enemy's great world, the world is vast and the world seems infinite.

There are countless cities.

There are also countless strangers.

Meng Chengshen just moved according to his heart, wandering around, and finally stayed in a city for a long time, and it has been thousands of years.

This time, he will no longer be the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

He found a place with good Fengshui in the deep mountains and dense forests outside the city, built a thatched hut, lived in the hut, and lived the life of a hermit in the mountains.

There is a big river meandering through the mountains and forests, flowing next to the city.

The river is dim and has nine bends in total.

Along the mountains, along the dense forest, it bends nine times before it merges into the vast ocean to the east.

Next to Meng Chengshen's thatched hut, there is a small stream, which can be regarded as one of the tributaries of that big river.

The reason why he settled in a hut here was mainly because he found a strange stone tablet beside the stream.

The stone tablet is several feet high and half a foot thick, like a tombstone.

On one side of the stele, the word "town" is written.

On the other side, there are four characters of Jiuqu Yellow River.

When read together, it is not only Jiuqu Huanghe Town, but also Jiuqu Yellow River Town.

Anyway, Meng Chengshen could clearly see that the water of that big river was indeed golden yellow. If it was under the sun, it would give people an illusion, as if the water flowing in the river , is the golden juice smelted from red gold.

This stone tablet is the real reason why Meng Chengshen stayed here to live in a hut.

Especially in the stone tablet, there was a desolate atmosphere from time to time, which made Meng Chengshen's heart skip a beat.

He often thinks like this: "Maybe my chance to become a god is here."

It's just that he wasn't very sure about it.

After all, there are too many things that Meng Chengshen can't figure out and understand.What he didn't understand the most was that Liu Yi he met in the Hengshan area back then, whose cultivation level was obviously inferior to his, but after not seeing him for many years, he became the same Daoist as Zhen Yuanzi and Kong Xuan.Similarly, he didn't understand why Kong Sanwen, who was as famous as him in the Hengshan area, was actually transformed by Mr. Kong Xuandao...

On this day, Meng Chengshen was sitting outside the hut, holding a fishing rod in his hand.

The fishing rod is tens of meters long, and I don't know what kind of material it is made of.

Under the morning light, dense mist emerges from the river water, giving people the illusion of being in a fairyland.

Meng Chengshen was bored, shaking his fishing rod from time to time, hoping that some fish would take the bait, but suddenly he smelled a faint fragrance in his nose.

This is not the fragrance of flowers. Meng Chengshen has been in this mountain for thousands of years. As long as it is the fragrance of flowers in this mountain, he can smell it...

The older the mortal man is, the duller and duller he becomes.

But the fairy seems to be just the opposite.

Meng Chengshen is already old, and there is not much life left in a million years... If he hadn't been able to sleep for thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, from time to time, and developed a kind of ability similar to animal hibernation, he would have died sooner or later. It has already consumed a million years of life, and the body is dead and the soul is gone.

Meng Chengshen could still see that the first time he met Liu Yi was when he first woke up from his dream.

Time is running out!

Filled with emotion, Meng Chengshen turned his head and looked at the place where the fragrance came from.

Three women, Pingting came from the depths of the white mist.

The woman in the middle was walking in the front, with a sound of white dress, walking from between the morning mist and morning dew, her body did not disturb the dampness of the morning, her dress was fluttering, her appearance was dignified, and she was so beautiful.She is like a group of untraceable clouds, but it just happened to meet a few yuan and fell beside this stream today.

There are two women beside her, one is wearing a jade-colored long dress, the other is wearing a emerald-colored dress, she looks like she is wearing jade, she is incomparably graceful.

"Elder Sister! Second Sister! Look..."

The youngest girl stopped suddenly, pointed at Meng Chengshen who was fishing, and said, "There is an old man fishing in this deep mountain forest! In my opinion, he must have been transformed by a monster, otherwise how dare he be alone?" , live in a thatched cottage in the mountains?"

The woman in the white dress didn't speak, but the woman in the long emerald green dress shook her head, "Sir, don't lie."

Having said that, the three girls all stopped and stood beside the stream.

"My husband is being polite."

The woman in the white skirt nodded to Meng Chengshen from a distance, and said, "My three sisters traveled far away. There are no villages within a hundred miles of this place, and it is very desolate. Only the old man built a house here. The three of my sisters feel that this place is destined for us, and they also want to live here for a period of time, and be neighbors with my husband, what does my husband think?"

Meng Chengshen said: "You three girls are young and beautiful. I'm just a bad old man. What kind of neighbor can I do?"

"Everyone is a practitioner, why bother to say such nonsense?" The third sister said bluntly, "If it is true, we don't know who is older and who is younger."

Meng Chengshen took advantage of the three of them to walk in, and looked at the three girls carefully, only to see an antique long sword hanging from their belts.

These three swords look plain and unpretentious.

The sword's edge converges in it, and the light is inside but not outside.

"Good sword!"

Meng Chengshen praised and asked, "Are you sword cultivators?"

The third sister asked back at the beginning, "What's the matter, do you have any opinions on Jianxiu?"

Meng Chengshen said: "Since you are a swordsman, it doesn't hurt to be a neighbor."

The second younger sister, who was silent, frowned slightly, opened her mouth slightly, and said in a clear and cold tone, "If we are not sword cultivators, will your excellency drive us away?"

"Old man, I am not such a domineering person."

Meng Chengshen said: "Old man, I can only drive myself away. After I leave, only the three of you will be left here. Naturally, you can't be neighbors... But I advise you, after living here for three to five days , leave this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be tainted with a period of right and wrong cause and effect, and cause a slaughter. Anyway, my life is approaching, and life and death are irrelevant. In the middle of the fight."
