In the early morning of the next day, the village head and several respected elders in the village called the villagers for a meeting.

They didn't ask Chutianzhu to participate, but Cotinus cotinus ran to eavesdrop, and came back to tell Chutianzhu that the village head asked each family to provide a labor force, and they wanted to build a yard for the fairy master in the purple bamboo forest on the mountainside during the slack season. .

Today is an auspicious day, and now they have gone up the mountain to open up wasteland.

Chu Tianzhu didn't expect these villagers to be so enthusiastic and willing to contribute: "Then shall we pay them wages?"

"Master, you have stayed in the mountains for a long time, and you don't know that the people outside are sinister." Sungae climbed on the stump for chopping firewood, gestured towards the mountain, "the bamboo forest is there, and we are here. If anyone wants to see immortals in the future, he must You have to go through the village. The village chief asked each family to sort out the vacant houses for people to stay in in the future, and also said to grow some herbs and wild vegetables, and sell them to people who come out of the city to look for immortals.”

In the morning, Chu Tianzhu took the sumac to the creek again, taught him some fighting skills, and watched him practice.

Cotinus cotinus was originally a child who grew up in the countryside. He went up and down the mountains and water every day, and he had a good foundation. He was not only strong, but also clever.

They stayed by the stream in the mountains for a while, and when it got hot at noon, they went back to have lunch.

As soon as we got to the entrance of the village, we saw a few strong men carrying baskets of dust on poles, sweating profusely, walking towards the back of the mountain.

Seeing the two masters and apprentices coming back, the village chief hurriedly pulled a yellow-faced young man over: "Let me introduce to the fairy teacher. This is my nephew Wang Fu. He lives in Xiaowangzhuang. He has been a plasterer for 16 years and is nearby. Everyone knows that he is a good craftsman. The Master Liuxian in the north of Dawangzhuang also hired him when he was repairing the yard."

The plasterer was wearing a sleeveless jacket, his arms were muscular, he nodded and bowed and said: "Don't worry, Immortal Master, the little figure of Liu Xianshi has firmly memorized it in his mind, and he will make an identical one for you. "

The village chief hurriedly pushed him: "Don't talk nonsense, go to work!"

The plasterer shrank his neck and walked away. The village head smiled at Chu Tianzhu: "This child is good at craftsmanship, but he is not very good at talking. Our Huangjia Village built it for the immortal teacher. Naturally, it should be better."

Chu Tianzhu has always felt that as long as the house can be lived in, he doesn't care much about the style, but is more interested in what they call "Master Liu".Could it be that there are other people who came to this different world like him?

He asked the village chief: "Who is that Master Liu?"

The village chief looked around and saw that there were many people here, so he invited Chutianzhu and Cotinus cotinus to his house and had lunch by the way.

After observing these days, the village chief found that Chu Tianzhu was not of a violent and violent nature. On the day he just came back, he punished the villagers a little because his nephew was bullied. Be as careful as you were a few days ago.

When they arrived at the village head's house, they sat down in the main room, and the village head talked about the matter of Master Liu.

It turned out that the legend of Emperor Kaiyuan and the fairy mountain was so prosperous that for several dynasties, many literati and military generals who had no ambitions in the court would choose to resign from office and go to seclusion in the fairy mountain to live in seclusion.

They learned the words and deeds of Emperor Kaiyuan, cut their ambitions, and dressed in different clothes.The nearby villagers didn't know it, and regarded them as immortals in the mountains. After a long time, there were many immortal masters in the mountains.

These "immortal masters" live in the mountains, but they have the world in mind. Every time they write good sentences and good strategies for governing the world, after they are spread all over the world, officials of all sizes will pay respects to the virtuous and corporal, go up the mountain to find the immortals, and invite the immortal masters to come out of the mountain.

That Master Liu, originally from Luzhou, came all the way to Jingzhou, hoping to find a job with his talent and learning, but failed in three years, so he went to live in a hut in Xianshan Mountain, waiting for appreciation.

However, the life in the mountains was poor, and Liu Xianshi was born in a wealthy family. He couldn't bear it, so he built a house in the north of Dawangzhuang.

Immortal Master Liu usually lives in the house at the foot of the mountain, and specially sent a servant to guard beside the official road. When the official's car came, he rushed back to report the news, and then Immortal Liu pretended to go up the mountain to be a hermit for a while.

"He can become an official like this?" Chu Tianzhu heard the village head's description, only felt that Master Liu had no talent, learning, and perseverance, so he probably had no hope of becoming an official.

"Master Liu went to become an official last month! But it's not from Jingzhou, but from Luzhou." The village head lowered his voice, "It is said that Master Liu's father-in-law sent money to ask for an official for him. Liuxian The teacher went away for several years and did not return, leaving his wife in Luzhou. His wife went back to her mother's house every day to cry and complain. The father-in-law couldn't bear it, so he sent his family to spread the word, saying that if he didn't go back, his leg would be broken! Wang Fu's daughter-in-law was in the The servants in Liu Xianshi's mansion, this is what she saw with her own eyes."

It turns out that Master Liu didn't come from another world like Chu Tianzhu, but he was just imitating Kaiyuan Emperor's costume style from another world. I don't know how many so-called "immortal masters" are still squatting in the mountains. No wonder the villagers accepted Chu Tianzhu so naturally. The setting of this fairy master.

After the story was finished, the village head's wife brought the lunch.She specially killed a young rooster, and served it in a large bowl after stewing it rottenly. There were also green and tender vegetables and several kinds of fresh mountain products, which filled the table to the brim.

The village head personally brought a plate of green vegetables to Chu Tianzhu: "I know that the immortal master does not eat five grains. These are the freshest mountain vegetables, which are the essence of the mountains. I invite the immortal master to enjoy them."

Then he pushed the big bowl of chicken in front of the sumac, and said with a smile: "Children still need to eat more meat to grow their body. Eat it."

The smell of the chicken filled the whole room, and the sumac ate ​​without raising its head. The two of them, the master and the apprentice, cooked dishes on weekdays, except that they were boiled or roasted. The dishes they made were bland and tasteless.The bowl of stewed chicken in front of me is first fried and then stewed. Several kinds of seasonings are added in the middle, thick oily red sauce, full of color, fragrance and taste.

When Chu Tianzhu first arrived, in order to establish the image of a high-level immortal, he claimed that he had already achieved a small amount of bigu cultivation, and used the ration balls as bigu pills, and gave them to the village chief. At this time, he could only maintain the demeanor of an immortal master, chewing wild vegetables , Watch sumac and the village grow up feasting.

After eating and returning home, Huang Kuan heaved a long sigh: "This is what people should eat."

Chu Tianzhu pinched the small face of Cotinus cotinus: "If you see the meat, you will forget about the master, huh?"

Cotinus Rhizoma immediately begged for mercy: "Master, I know I was wrong!"

Chu Tianzhu let him go: "I'll let you off this time... Why are other people's dishes so delicious? I have to find a way to learn from them. Let's do it too."

Cotinus cotinus did not respond, Chu Tianzhu looked back and found him standing in the same place dejectedly, with one hand covering the place that was pinched just now, with tears in his eyes.

Chu Tianzhu thought it hurt him just now, so he turned back and squatted in front of him: "Does your face hurt? Let me see."

Cotinus cotinus let go of the hand covering his face, there was only a slight red mark on his face, he grabbed Chu Tianzhu's hand: "I'm fine, master. But I have something to tell you, don't be angry when you hear it."

Chu Tianzhu followed behind the sumac and went up the mountain again.They have been walking deep into the dense forest until they reach the bottom of a towering rock wall.

It's very remote here, and the villagers don't come here on weekdays.There is a small soil bag on the ground, and stones are inserted in it to serve as a tombstone.

"Here it is... My uncle Huang Hai actually passed away ten years ago. He wanted to find the immortal, but he accidentally fell off the cliff. When my father found him, it was already too late."

The mountain wind blew through the forest, and the treetops swayed with the wind, making a sound of "shua-shua-". Chu Tianzhu asked in a low voice, "Why did you bury him here?"

"Because my grandmother was still alive at the time, she was not in good health, and my father was worried that she would not be able to bear such a blow, so he concealed the matter and buried my uncle quietly. And..." Huang Qiao lowered his head, "Uncle was still young at the time, and Unmarried wives cannot enter the ancestral grave."

Chu Tianzhu leaned over and touched the top of Cotinus sinensis's head, Cotinus cotinus threw himself into his arms and choked up: "I'm sorry, Master, you are so kind to me, but I lied to you."

The sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the woods and sprinkled on them, illuminating this desolate corner.

Chu Tianzhu lightly patted the back of the cocoa tree: "It's okay, you didn't mean to hurt me, remember? You just wanted to live, and you didn't want me to hurt the people in the village. You've done a good job."

Cotinus cotinus cried loudly in his arms, and the emotions that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time were completely released at this moment.

The grief of losing his parents, the fear of being alone and helpless, the panic of being hurt and expelled, and the guilt caused by deception, all turned into tears and gushed out of his eyes.

Chu Tianzhu hugged the sumac cotinus tightly silently, he could not remember when was the last time he cried, was it when he lost his parents?Or when you're struggling to survive in a downtown area?Or when he was first accepted into the Rebel Army?It seems that there are none.

In the lower city, crying represents weakness, a weak person will only become the prey of others, he has never been qualified to cry like this.

Cotinus cotinus cried dimly, and when he finally stopped sucking his nose, his eyes were already swollen like peaches.

The master and the apprentice had to go to the stream to clean it up. Cotinus cotinus scooped up the cool stream water with both hands, and kept splashing on their faces to try to reduce the swelling.

Chu Tianzhu took off his shirt, which had been wiped with a lot of snot and tears, and washed it in the water.

The clothes on Chutianzhu's body were still the ones before time travel.In his original world, resources were extremely scarce, and the technology company in Uptown developed a new type of material, which was durable and easy to clean. After soaking in water or burning it with fire, the stains would fall off automatically.After washing, twist it and shake it, and the water will not remain at all.

Residents in the lower city often wear clothing made of this material, which is passed on from father to son and from son to grandson, and it will not wear out and deform after wearing it for decades.

After washing his face, Cotinus cotinus looked at Chu Tianzhu in admiration and shook off his clothes: "The clothes of the immortals are amazing."

Chu Tianzhu wanted to tell him that these were the cheapest clothes in the lower city, and that the clothes spun and dyed by natural plants on the sumac were a privilege only enjoyed by the nobles in the upper city.

But the rules forbade him to reveal things about the other world, making him unable to open his mouth.

Chu Tianzhu held back for a long time before saying: "That's right, this is the fairy clothes. After a while, I will go back to the mountains and ask the fairy to get you one too."
