Martial Cultivator

A Taoist temple has been around for hundreds of years, but it has become old because of the passage of time, and nothing has disappeared.

That is in Qingshan Prefecture, that is, in Danxiao City.

If it were anywhere else, it would not be like this.

Mr. Shuxin walked into the Taoist temple, passed by the weed-covered courtyard, and did not go to the main hall that was now leaking seriously. Instead, he sat under the eaves and looked up. There were stars between the green tiles.

Then Mr. Shuxin retracted his gaze and patted the steps beside him.

Hearing the noise, an ancient incense burner on the incense table in the main hall suddenly grew limbs, and the main body of the incense burner had five senses.

The incense burner jumped off the incense table, then jumped towards the door, and soon came to Mr. Shuxin's side and sat down panting, and began to pant.

Mr. Shuxin looked at the small incense burner and smiled. He reached into his arms and threw the Daliang Tongbao coins he earned today into the incense burner one by one. The incense burner was originally full of incense ash, but for some reason, at this moment, when those Daliang Tongbao coins fell into the incense burner, there was no incense ash flying around, only some ripples.

There was also some sound.

Although today is the bitter woodcutter's festival, Mr. Shuxin didn't actually earn many Daliang Tongbao coins. A rough calculation showed that there were only 20 or 30 coins, so the sound of the copper coins entering the water soon disappeared completely.

In the end, there was only one Tianjin Gold coin left in Mr. Shuxin's palm.

The small incense burner raised his head, sniffed hard with his nose, and then said seriously: "This person has good luck!"

Although his tone was old-fashioned, the small incense burner's voice was childish and very cute.

Mr. Shuxin smiled and explained, "The luck of the whole country is on him now, how can it be insufficient?"

The little incense burner asked curiously, "Did you meet the emperor of Daliang today?!"

The luck of the dynasty, apart from the dragon vein, is actually closely related to the emperor of the dynasty most of the time, because the emperor of the dynasty, as the ruler of the world, his behavior can enhance or weaken the luck, which is why the foundation of the dynasty will become more and more stable after several generations of wise rulers.

Once the luck is lost, even if there is another wise ruler, it will be difficult for anyone to turn the tide.

However, these statements are what the Qi Refiners believe in, and the rest of the world probably think that this is due to human power.

"Not an emperor, but better than an emperor."

Mr. Shuxin looked at the gold coin in his palm and smiled, "I'm afraid even he doesn't know that he is so closely connected with the national destiny. In other times, other emperors would not tolerate him after the Imperial Astronomical Observatory saw through it. But in this dynasty, not only can he be a powerful official at ease, but it's really strange that his connection with the national destiny is obviously intentionally made by the current emperor. He is willing to hand over the national destiny to someone other than himself. This emperor is really brave, but also really generous!"

Hearing this, the little incense burner was eager to try, and said impatiently: "Then let me eat this gold coin and absorb some of his luck."

Mr. Shuxin looked down at the little incense burner. The incense burner looked at him and didn't agree to his request. He just said to himself: "I'm actually very curious. If he knew that he was carrying such a great national destiny, would he still be willing to give me this Tianjin Gold?"

"Of course not. Others are not fools. How could they do that?"

The little incense burner rolled his eyes and muttered: "Only you are a fool. Obviously, the hall they built is so popular, but you don't go there and insist on staying in this small Taoist temple."

Mr. Shuxin smiled and said: "You think I gave him less things. A paper boat, plus writing, is not less."

The little incense burner didn't understand, but he had long been accustomed to it. Anyway, since it had intelligence, it has been listening to him muttering things that it couldn't understand every day.

Like something about immortality is wrong, and peace seems not enough.

Something about there shouldn't be only two roads in the world, but why can't the third one be found...

In short, these things are said over and over again, and its ears have long been calloused.

"So should we take his money or not?"

Little incense burner was too lazy to think about it and asked directly.

Mr. Shuxin looked at the gold coin in his hand and couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Little incense burner slapped his forehead and said, "I know, you are afraid that if you take his money, you will really do things for him!"

Mr. Shuxin shook his head, "No, when I received the money, I had to do things for him, but I am afraid that if he thinks differently from me, then he will suffer a loss in this deal. If it is just like this, it is not a big deal. He will be penniless and I will be rich. But he has such a national destiny. I am afraid that if he is really penniless, this world will be gone."

"I have seen Danxiao City for so many years, and I like the world more now. If it is really gone, I will still be a little sad."

Mr. Shuxin looked at the gold coin in his palm and hesitated.

Little Incense Burner asked in confusion, "Didn't you say before that when the demons go south, the world will probably change? Anyway, everything will be different by then, so why are you worrying about this now?"

"Yes, the demon tribe is heading south, and it's a scene we haven't seen before. If it were Dajin, it would have been discussing with the demon tribe whether to cede another 30,000 or 60,000 miles. It wouldn't matter if the demon tribe withdrew their troops, and the gods would give them everything."

Mr. Shuxin frowned and said with some disgust: "Such a court and such a world are really disgusting."

But he quickly changed the subject and said: "But in that world and court, there are also people like me."

What kind of people are people like me?

They are also people who are indifferent to the world and have never done anything for the world.

"It's disgusting. Don't scold anyone. Even in the mouths of some scholars, I'm afraid they can use the word "complement each other" to describe me."

Mr. Shuxin laughed at himself, and his smile was lonely.

"You are really... saying a bunch of things I don't understand. What do you want!"

The small incense burner was clasped with both hands, and bursts of white smoke came out of his nostrils, with a strong smell of incense ash.

Mr. Shuxin was silent.

Many people in this world don't understand what they want to do and how to do it, so they are confused most of the time, but there are actually many people in this world who know very well what they want to do. No matter what others say, it doesn't work. They have their own ideas in their hearts.

The former makes people feel sad, while the latter, in many cases, is too stubborn and persistent, which makes them walk on the wrong path all their lives.

Mr. Shuxin has insisted on doing something for hundreds of years. During these hundreds of years, he has seen a lot of things and has had many other ideas during this period, but in the end, he still did nothing and changed nothing.

Every choice requires great courage.

"Let's take a gamble."

I don't know how long it took, Mr. Shuxin smiled to himself: "That person made his choice in a very short time. I am so much older than him and have lived so many more years, but I am not as good as him."

"If... he is really that great, then... I will do it again."

As Mr. Shuxin said this, the Tianjin Gold in his hand fell into the incense burner.

There was no sound of the copper coin falling into the water, only a very slight sound of the copper coin falling onto the incense ash... a slight sound.

The little incense burner held his breath and concentrated, trying to sense the luck in the gold coin that day, and also sensing other things.

I don't know how long it took.

Mr. Shuxin asked, "How is it?"

The little incense burner looked grim, "It's really a great luck, and you will die if you eat a few more bites."

Mr. Shuxin frowned and said, "What else?"

The little incense burner couldn't speak, because at this moment, it had turned red and began to emit white mist.

Mr. Shuxin stretched out his hand and pressed on the incense burner, and a cool breath overflowed from his palm and fell on the incense burner.

It was this action that made Mr. Shuxin himself startled.

After a moment, he raised his palm and picked up the gold coin.

The little incense burner finally breathed a sigh of relief as if he had escaped death, but he still said unwillingly: "I will definitely eat him in a few years!"

Mr. Shuxin shook his head and said with emotion: "He does have selfish motives... but... he is impeccable."
