Chapter 917 Liu Mazi Enters the City

It turned out that the old Taoist heard an old saying from somewhere, "You can't eat it, but you can't bear it." He understood it as: If you provoke someone you shouldn't provoke, you will not be able to eat anything. Then, he developed this "Taoism" without knowing what was going on.

He made a kind of black sugar that was very difficult to melt. Every time he was unhappy, he would stick the black sugar somewhere. He asked the person to lick it clean. But every time he used the "Taoism", it worked wonders. Over time, he became complacent. He traveled around the world and used his magic.

Unexpectedly, today, he was broken by a weird person. In other words, he couldn't afford to provoke him. So he knelt down and begged for mercy, and knelt down devoutly to Li Changxiao all the way. He was terrified, afraid that Li Changxiao would also take out the black sugar and tell him to "go away with it". The black sugar was made by the ancient method, and he had to lick it for a day and a night. He often licked his tongue until it bled, which was really a torture.

Unexpectedly, Li Changxiao ignored him and passed by. The old Taoist thought of the stories he had heard before. The immortals in the mountains all looked so strange. He was just a fake immortal, pretending to be one, cheating people for food and drink everywhere. He had some skills, but not much. He might as well cling to this man's thigh.

His attitude changed drastically, and he ran to Li Changxiao, knelt down and cried, wailing loudly, and complaining. He told Li Changxiao that he had a severe fever when he was a child, and the immortal gave him a chance, which led to his appearance as an immortal. The immortal in the dream told him that he had a destiny with immortals since he was a child, and now he finally met a real immortal, and asked Li Changxiao to accept him as a disciple.

Li Changxiao was surprised, thinking that he had just woken up, and his details were all seen by others? Looking at this old Taoist, he seemed crazy and not quite normal, but seemed quite smart? He had been sleeping for a long time, and he didn't know how many years had passed, and he needed someone to understand the situation in the outside world. I can't help but worry... maybe this old Taoist is already the most normal person?

The old Taoist begged and begged in every possible way. Li Changxiao was annoyed with him, so he asked him his name, birthplace, and origin. If he could tell, he would temporarily agree to let him follow.

The old Taoist kept his true identity, saying that he was Liu Mazi from Niujia Village. When he was young, he was strong and healthy, and there was nothing special about him, so he was looked down upon everywhere. When he was young, Niujia Village passed by a lame immortal, and the villagers admired him very much. Liu Mazi thought about it day and night, and dreamed of becoming the immortal's apprentice. After thinking about it for a long time, he became more serious and had a high fever.

During the high fever, he had an idea and broke his leg by himself. From then on, he announced to the outside world that he was the apprentice of the lame immortal. Everyone in Niujia Village admired him and believed him. Liu Mazi tasted the sweetness, so he put on a Taoist robe and wandered around, and gradually made some fame.

Liu Mazi said, "Hey, great immortal, I will follow you in the future!" He got up, bowed, and followed behind Li Changxiao. Li Changxiao was always casual. Even though Liu Mazi behaved strangely, he didn't feel anything when he followed him. He didn't care whether he agreed or not. He walked straight into the city.

On the way, Li Changxiao asked Liu Mazi, he seemed to have great respect for immortals? All mortals have always respected immortals. This is not a good question. But the respect in the past was mostly yearning and envy. Today's respect is like fanaticism and madness. The two are very different. And this "immortal" is not that "immortal". I should ask it clearly.

Liu Mazi told Li Changxiao that this was natural. There is no one in the world who does not respect immortals. Li Changxiao followed the topic and tried to find out his opinion several times. Gradually, I realized that the immortals Liu Mazi mentioned were not immortals who lived forever and rode clouds and mist. Instead, he is an immortal with special abilities.

The so-called immortal appearance cannot be described. It can only be understood that Liu Mazi and others can recognize the immortal at a glance when they see him, as if they have a sense of intuition.

Li Changxiao asked: "You, with your lame leg, are you an immortal?" Liu Mazi said: "No, no, yes, yes. It doesn't count, and it doesn't count." He talked a lot of mysterious words that he himself didn't understand. He was born ordinary, so how could he be an immortal. It's just that some people believe it.

Li Changxiao asked Liu Mazi again where he was going and what his purpose was. Liu Mazi thought that if he could use some immortal magic on Li Changxiao, he would be extremely respectful and tell him everything he knew. He said that he had a mission to do this. In the "Pala City", there was a wealthy family outside the family. There was a demon in his family, and he asked people everywhere to exorcise the demon. Liu Mazi was well-known in the surrounding area, so he was naturally invited. This trip was to get rid of the demon.

I would have arrived last night if I had traveled overnight. But I went to the inn, had a meal, drank some wine, and then went on to sleep in the inn. It delayed me for some time. But I still had plenty of time.

While they were talking, they had arrived at the city gate. The city gate was low and seemed to be built with yellow mud and gravel. The city gate was not very solid. Liu Mazi said complacently: "Great Immortal, do you see this? This is the largest city in the country, known as Pala City. Look, this city gate is almost three times as high as me. Hehe, ordinary people can't climb over it."

Li Changxiao looked at the city gate and remembered that he had been to this city before he fell asleep. It was not originally called Pala City, but "Jufeng City". This city is located in a remote area and is not very large. But the city gate is three feet high, made of glutinous rice, red mud, and hard stone, and belongs to Lingtian. The three characters "Jufeng City" on the city gate plaque are neatly written and full of momentum. Even if it is a small city, it still has style.

Now looking at it again, the wall of this "Pala City" is yellow and gray, and the yellow mud will slide down with a slight scrape. Not to mention solidity, Li Changxiao only needs to apply a little force, and the wall will collapse.

Li Changxiao asked: "This Pala City... has it been called this name since ancient times?" Liu Mazi said: "Of course, of course. What else can it be called? Great Immortal, please go in quickly."

Li Changxiao walked into the city gate. There were no soldiers guarding the gate, and the gate was just for show. But once inside the city, the street scene was much better. There were many pedestrians, and the houses were decent. Most of them were made of yellow mud and gravel, not very beautiful, but still livable.

Sixty percent of the residents in the city were born with different appearances, and 40% looked the same at first glance. But upon closer inspection, there were subtle differences.
