At the same time, in Chang 'an City.
At this time, it was the busiest time in Chang 'an City. The streets and alleys were filled with the sound of merchants soliciting customers. Manservants shuttled through the crowd. Peddlers walked and stopped with goods on their shoulders. Couples of men and women were choosing goods on the shelves. The whole of Chang' an was bustling with people coming and going. It was very lively.
Zhu Zi was still hawking on the street with the fermented glutinous rice as usual.
"Fermented glutinous rice, fermented glutinous rice."
Just then, a roar came from behind. "Zhu Zi."
"Oh, it's Huzi."
Zhu Zi stopped and glanced behind him.
Huzi held the load on his shoulder and quickly stepped forward to walk side by side with Zhu Zi. "Zhu Zi, how's the business today?"
"How else could it be? It's the same as usual."
Zhu Zi smiled and patted the jar with his left hand. There was a hollow sound.
"Looks like you're doing well today."
Huzi glanced at the jar and smiled. "Do you want to take a break?"
"Okay."
Zhu Zi agreed without hesitation. Then, he glanced at the corner and said, "Let's go there to rest."
After that, he walked to the corner with the load on his shoulder. Leaning against the corner, he put down the load. Huzi followed him closely. The two sat on the ground like this.
Huzi wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with a smile, "Zhu Zi, where's your fermented glutinous rice? Take it out and I'll exchange it with a steamed bun. "
After that, he lifted his clothes and fanned himself casually. His eyes drifted around and the sky from time to time. Suddenly, he seemed to find something. His eyes widened. He couldn't believe it, but he didn't know what it was. He just kept pointing at it with his finger.
"Huzi, here's your fermented glutinous rice."
Zhu Zi handed over the fermented glutinous rice, only to find that Huzi was pointing at the sky. His eyes widened and his mouth kept muttering something.
"Huzi, Huzi, what's wrong with you?"
Zhu Zi shook Huzi and asked with concern.
"What … what … is that?"
Huzi was still pointing at the sky. His body was trembling and he couldn't speak clearly.
Zhu Zi curiously glanced in the direction of Hu Zi's finger. If he didn't look, he wouldn't have known. But when he looked, he was shocked. His pupils shrank and his body trembled. "This … could it be an immortal?"
After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something. He hurriedly shook Huzi and shouted, "Huzi, quickly put down your hand. You can't point. This is an immortal. If you continue to point, you will be punished by the heavens."
Huzi, who was originally immersed in it, was suddenly awakened. He abruptly turned his head to look at the pillar, his body trembling. "Yes, yes, yes. Immortal, Immortal."
After saying that, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and began to kowtow while muttering, "Immortal, please forgive me. Immortal, please forgive me."
When Zhu Zi saw this, he quickly followed Huzi's example and kowtowed on the ground. He even muttered the exact same words because in their knowledge, only immortals could go to heaven. In other words, no one could go to heaven now. Those who could go to heaven must be immortals.
After a series of kowtows, the blood on their foreheads was clearly visible. Probably feeling tired, the two of them stood up together and ran in different directions. They even abandoned the burden of eating while muttering incantations.
"I have to go home and tell my mother that an immortal has appeared."
"An immortal has appeared."
The two of them kept shuttling back and forth in the crowd as if they were under a spell.
Soon, someone noticed this abnormality. At the same time, they also heard what they said and couldn't help but wonder, "Immortal? There are immortals there? "
While speaking, this person intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the sky. Perhaps due to the influence of traditional thinking, they believed that immortals must be in the sky. However, at this moment, he saw it. He saw what he thought was an immortal. Suddenly, his eyes widened. His brain seemed to have received an endless shock. He shouted crazily, "In the sky …"
"There are immortals in the sky …"
"There are immortals in the sky …"
"Quickly look."
This roar instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding people. They glanced at this guy with some doubts. Immortals? How could it be? Lao Tzu had lived for decades and had never seen any immortals. Now you saw one?
Most people held an attitude of disbelief. They thought that this guy was just crazy. Some people were even cursing in their hearts. However, there were still some curious people. They didn't believe in heresy. They couldn't help but shout in their hearts and look at the sky.
"Immortal? Is it really an immortal? "
"Is that an immortal in the sky?"
"Everyone, quickly look. There are immortals in the sky?"
In an instant, everyone around them roared. They widened their eyes and pointed at the sky. Their faces were full of surprise and disbelief. The roars became louder and louder and spread farther and farther. The streets and alleys of the entire Chang 'an City began to shout non-stop. Some people even knelt on the ground and began to worship. This was because in their education, the immortals were the representatives of the heavens. Now that an immortal had appeared, how could they not worship him?
On the upper floor of Chang 'an City, the soldiers also noticed this phenomenon. They looked at the sky together, their faces full of horror. They were soldiers. Logically speaking, they should only be in awe of this ghost. It was hard for them to believe. However, when they glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, their faith began to waver.
