Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 494: Knock on the gate of heaven and slay the demons where they are found. Here comes someone from Fangcun Mountain!
[You and your grandfather bid farewell to Yuan Danqiu and returned to the Zhou family.]

[The next morning, you packed your bags and went to say goodbye to your grandfather.]

[The peach blossoms on both sides of Qinghe River are in full bloom. You may want to go upstream to see the autumn scenery.]

[However, as we traveled along the way, although we saw that the drought demon had been eliminated, we still saw thousands of miles of barren land. The wounds left by the two-year drought had not yet healed, and demons were rampant in the wilderness, occupying the mountains, forests and swamps, causing trouble to the people.]

[If the evil spirits are not slain, the victims will have a hard time rebuilding their hometown. ]

[You learned a lot of Qi Huang techniques in the latter part of "Taiping Yaoshu", and now they come in handy. ]

[The Taoist priest of the Taiping Sect spent the last part of his life traveling around the world, saving people with his medical skills and exorcising demons with his thunder magic.]

[There are ways to save the world and to exorcise demons. You are ready to follow their lead. ]

[After hearing this, Grandfather persuaded you that this year is the opening day of Fangcun Mountain, and he wanted to find a disciple quota for you.]

[Grandfather showed his authority as the head of the family and ordered you, "Jing'er, it is difficult to survive in Yuzhou, the Central Plains, without a sect background. It is difficult to make any progress."]

[His voice rose involuntarily, "You must go to Fangcun Mountain."]

[The servants standing by were so frightened that they all knelt down, their foreheads pressed against the cold floor tiles.]

[You stand in the hall, the submissive look of the past has completely faded, leaving only a calm expression, "My grandson has made his decision, and I have my own choice."]

[Zhou Tai used his own spiritual power to exert pressure.]

【For you, it is like a gentle breeze blowing over the hills. 】

[You no longer concealed your cultivation level, and your cultivation level of the "middle stage of Dao fetus" was revealed. Before Grandfather could stand firmly, he was pushed back again and again, and was finally supported by a spiritual force.]

[Grandfather opened his mouth, first in surprise, then he sighed, the light returned to his eyes, and he looked at you with relief.]

[You have already knelt down and said to the old man, "Grandfather, you said that a man should stand between heaven and earth, and should look up to the sky without shame, and look down to the earth without shame."]

[You kowtowed deeply to the ground and refused to stand up.]

[“Although Jing’er is young, he has his own ambitions and things he wants to do.”]

【“Please help me, Grandfather!”】

[The old man then had a thoughtful look in his eyes, and then he slowly said, "Jing'er, you have grown up. The voice of a young phoenix is ​​clearer than that of an old phoenix. You are worthy of being my son, Zhou Tai."]

[He pulls you up, "Go, but you must come back by this time next year, and I will take you to Fangcun Mountain."]

[You agree. 】

[You should also tell grandfather about the killing of Hanba this time, and copy down the "Taiping Yaoshu".]

【Then, you bid farewell to your grandfather and go up the Qing River. 】

[Zhou Tai stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes piercing through the clouds in the sky, staring at your receding back for a long time. ]

[Footsteps can be heard from behind you. Your father Zhou Huiheng comes out from behind the screen, with a worried look on his face.]

[“Father, are you comfortable with Jing’er leaving like this?”]

【Zhou Tai patted his fifth son on the shoulder and said, "You really gave me a good grandson."】

[Zhou Huiheng shook his head helplessly and said, "Father, as a father, I have been suppressed by him and I can't even raise my head."]

【Zhou Tai laughed heartily, "As a grandfather, I am no different. It is not shameful for a father to be inferior to his son."】

[He added a touch of emotion to his tone, "Before today, I believed that the prosperity of the Zhou family depended on this child."]

[“After today, I know that the Zhou family and Qinghe are still too small to trap this real dragon.”]

[“I remember Jing’er. He will be six in two months.”]

[Zhou Tai had a sneer on his face, "He is less than six years old and at the Daotai realm. Even the Taoist of Fangcun Mountain, who is from Tianfu Star, is a little inferior to him."]

[“Whatever leader of the righteous sect or the saint of the demon sect, they are not as good as my grandson!”]

【Zhou Huiheng also smiled and said, "My son has the potential to become a great elixir."】

【You traveled westwards, and all you saw along the way were the displaced people and the dead bodies of the hungry. 】

[In late autumn, the plague was rampant, countless hungry people fell on the roadside, and the sound of wailing was endless. ]

[You use the sword escape technique and land among a group of disaster victims. When the people see you coming on the clouds, they all show fear - they are both in awe and fear of these high and mighty immortal masters, and dare not offend them in the slightest.]

[Suddenly, someone recognized you as the young master of the Zhou family who often gave out porridge, and immediately became excited. ]

[Everyone gathered around and subconsciously wanted to kneel down, but then they remembered the rule set by the Zhou family - "no kneeling down", and hesitated for a moment, in a dilemma. ]

[You said in a gentle voice: "No need to kneel." Then you took out food from the storage bag, set up a big pot, and started a fire to cook porridge.]

[When the porridge smells fragrant, you take out the "Taiping Yaoshu" and use the magic water to cure the disease and eliminate disasters for those infected.]

[This goes on and on - cook porridge, treat illness, cook porridge again, treat illness again.]

[If there are demons causing trouble on the way, you can use the Thunder Seal with your hands, and the "Heavenly Thunder to Punish Evil and Break Demons" will strike down with a bang, and all the demons will be destroyed.]

[On this journey, I will kill any demons I see! 】

[In the blink of an eye, midwinter has arrived. ]

[The snow fell from the sky, dyeing the vast earth pure white. ]

[At this time of snowfall, you turned six years old. ]

[Although you have spent most of your time on disaster relief and have little time for cultivation, your cultivation is like a stream flowing into the sea, and you have naturally reached the state of perfection of the Tao.]

[For you, cultivation is as natural as breathing. With every move you make, your cultivation is quietly growing.]

[You mingled with the disaster victims, eating and living with them.]

[Gradually, you learned to cut wood to build a house, chisel stones for foundations, weave bamboo baskets, and fish and hunt. These mundane skills actually gave you a deeper understanding of the Tao.]

[During this time, you noticed that, in addition to you, there was another group of young monks wearing sect robes who were also slaying demons and eliminating evil.]

[With just one glance, you can recognize that he is a disciple of Fangcun Mountain. ]

【But you didn't approach to talk, just minding your own business. 】

【It’s chilly in spring, and the ice and snow are beginning to melt. 】

[In the new year, the fields were renovated and the houses were rebuilt. ]

[The monks from Fangcun Mountain left in a hurry, one group after another.]

[You are standing barefoot in the paddy field, planting rice with the disaster victims you are familiar with.]

[The muddy water is up to your calves, and the young rice seedlings are arranged in neat green lines at your fingertips.]

【Suddenly, a sound of breaking air came from the sky. 】

[Four monks came gracefully on their colorful magic weapons, startling several egrets in the fields.]

[In the front is a lovely girl of about ten years old, hanging in the air on a jade flute.]

[She put her hands on her hips, her eyes wide open: "Hey, are you from Fangcun Mountain too?"]

[You still bend over and plant a seedling firmly into the mud.]

[Mud spots splashed on your coarse trouser legs, but you didn't care at all. After you gathered them together, you stood up and shook your head.]

[“He is not from Fangcun Mountain.”]

[The man behind the girl in a moon-white Taoist robe frowned slightly, and the tassels on his jade hairpin swayed in the wind: "Since you are not a disciple of our sect, why did you come to Qinghe to exorcise demons?"]

[You thought for a moment and said, "My grandfather was once a disciple of Fangcun Mountain, and later returned to Qinghe County."] [After saying that, a clear light suddenly circulated around him, and the unique three-phase star shadow of "Slanting Moon Immortality Technique" loomed above his head.]

[Another pink-robed woman behind the girl sneered, "I thought she was someone else, but it turns out she's just a lay disciple who can't enter Fangcun Mountain."]

[There is no lack of ridicule in this. ]

[After hearing this, the disaster victims working around them clenched their rice seedlings tightly, their faces showing signs of anger, but they suppressed it.]

[The man in the moon-white Taoist robe calmed down a little, and his tone softened: "Little Taoist friend, since you have family knowledge, you might as well spend more time on cultivation. Nowadays, when selecting disciples, the most important thing is the aptitude of the bones... I am afraid that accumulating these good deeds is not enough."]

[He thinks you are a person who cannot enter the Fangcun Mountain and wants to take the shortcut of doing good deeds. ]

[The girl sighed, "Alas, if the number of demons killed this year was not enough, who would be willing to come to a remote place like Qinghe... It's really boring."]

[She suddenly caught sight of your muddy hem and wrinkled her nose in disdain.]

[The four of them left without any interest and flew away.]

[You sense the cultivation of the four people. The girl has the highest cultivation of the middle stage of Solidifying Spirit, while the other three have only the cultivation of Perfecting Body Shaping.]

[So they came here to slay demons and monsters, to accumulate merits? ]

[A dark-skinned man beside him wiped his sweat and asked in surprise: "Mr. Jing, you are not from Fangcun Mountain?"]

[Since you asked them to call you by your name, they no longer need to call you "Master Immortal". These simple disaster victims have compromised by calling you "Mr. Jing".]

[You straightened the roots of the seedlings and nodded, saying, "That is why I don't allow you to call me Master."]

[Everyone looked at each other and laughed when they heard this, as if they had expected it. Seeing your confusion, an old farmer with his trousers rolled up laughed and said, "Where in the world would there be an immortal master who would follow us to plant rice and hoe the fields!"]

[You smiled when you heard this, and then got busy. The sun was about to set.]

[The four people from Fangcun Mountain did not actually leave, but instead hid in the clouds and watched silently.]

[Seeing you still planting rice, under the scorching sun, meticulously, you soon filled half an acre of paddy field with rice seedlings in a horizontal and vertical manner.]

[You didn't rest after finishing your work, but instead helped a man who was half a beat slower than you to repair the ridges in the field.]

[As the sun sets, the golden afterglow casts a shadow on the green paddy fields, and the big buffaloes with shiny black skins are leisurely walking on the ridges.]

[Many ordinary people who have finished their work and are carrying hoes pass by and greet you. ]

[The girl on the cloud tilted her head and spun the jade flute in her palm: "This person is really weird."]

[The pink-robed woman said sarcastically, "You are just a fool, obsessed with worldly affairs and ignoring your cultivation."]

[The four of them flew away without lingering.]

【You only looked up at this time, and then didn't care. 】

[I look at the terraced fields with satisfaction. The rice seedlings have been planted. If you plant a grain of millet in spring, you will harvest ten thousand grains in autumn. What's more, rice is planted in fertile soil. ]

[After finishing your farm work, you ride on a buffalo resting on the ridge of the field.]

[The scroll hanging on the horn swayed gently with the steps - this was not some secret manual of cultivation, but a book that ordinary people liked after getting to know it.]

[It says "The Travels of the King of Yan", which was written by later generations and records a person who lived 7,000 years ago, King Lu Chen of Yan.]

[This King of Yan has a very high reputation, both in the cultivation world and in the mortal world. ]

[Because this person accomplished two great feats, one of which was to ascend to this world. You should know that the ascension platform in this world has only been opened twice.]

[The Taoist tradition left by this person is one of the Three True One Sects or the Nine Sects of the Righteous Path, but he has disappeared from the world and has a weak presence among the Nine Sects.]

[The second is that this person will unify the world. No one can unify the four major continents today.]

[This book, "The Travels of the Prince of Yan", contains books written by him, one on military affairs and one on the law of governing a country.]

[After flipping through it casually, the military book does seem outdated in front of the might of today's cultivators who can move mountains and overturn seas. Nowadays, the disputes between sects often depend on the thoughts of high-level cultivators. Why would we need to deploy troops? ]

[The second is - the law of governing a country. You find the rules and regulations strange to you, and many of the words are still fresh in your memory...]

【“The world belongs to all people, not just one person.”】

[“It is better to have peace without governing than to govern the country and bring peace to the world.”]

[“The water that overturned the boat is the tears of the common people. You won’t know until it flows across the river.”]

[On the left side of your horn is "Taiping Yaoshu" and on the right side is "Yan Wang Suixing Lu". You are sitting on the back of the ox and swaying, which is quite elegant. ]

[March has passed in the blink of an eye, and it is already summer. ]

[In the hot summer, the sun is scorching. ]

[Your cultivation speed is getting faster and faster, and you have new insights every day. The heavenly skills recorded in "Taiping Daoshu" are quite in line with your temperament.]

[The cultivation level has further improved, and the Daotai realm is complete. 】

[You are expected to reach the "Heavenly Gate" realm in March. ]

[Knock on the gate of heaven, and the five qi will return to their origin, condensing into the three flowers on the top of the head. ]

[From now on, the body will be flawless, and the life span will be four hundred years, allowing you to glimpse a higher and more mysterious realm.]

[This is also the state that the drought demon devoured the water source of Qinghe River and broke through after the drought lasted for thousands of miles.]

[Today, the night breeze is refreshing, you are enjoying the cool under a tree and chatting with an old farmer about family matters. ]

[Suddenly, I felt the magic power in my body vibrate, and the spiritual energy around me gathered. I saw a jade-colored sky gate phantom slowly opening three feet above my head. ]

[Like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, condensing into three faint golden flowers at the center of the eyebrows. ]

[The moon is high in the sky, casting its light, and the cicadas are chirping. ]

[You smiled slightly. At this moment, you have opened the gate of the world and become a cultivator at the Heavenly Gate realm.]

[The energy of breaking through the realm swept away the fatigue of the old farmer beside you. Looking at the faint light around you, he had never seen such a scene before and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Mr. Jing really has the aura of a god."]

[You look up at the vast stars at night and the flickering fireflies flying in the grass, "Old man, my brilliance is like a firefly, how can it compare to this eternal and unchanging world."]

[The wrinkles on the old man's face spread out as he smiled, "Mr. Jing, you are also our glory."]

[It’s September in the golden autumn. ]

[You walk back to Qinghe County, and see that the once barren land is now covered with rolling rice fields and curling smoke from cooking fires. After the demons have been eliminated, this land has finally regained its vitality.]

[You also become more and more determined in your heart that if there were no demons causing trouble in this world, there would be peace. ]

【Learn magical skills and eliminate all demons in the world. 】

【It has become your ambition! 】

[Strangely, the Taoist priest of Taiping in the "Taiping Yaoshu" actually wrote in his later years, "Can the world be peaceful if all demons are eliminated?"]

[This sentence seems to be a self-question, and it is also thought-provoking. Taoist Taiping seems to be in confusion! ]

[You promised your grandfather that you would return to the Zhou family in Qinghe County on this date in September.]

[When you said goodbye to everyone, many people came to see you off, but you left quietly one day before the agreed date, leaving them empty-handed.]

[On the tenth day of the ninth month, when you return to Qinghe County, the entire city is decorated with lights and colors.]

[Especially in front of the Chen family's residence, colorful glass lanterns were hung high, and the shadows of magical birds and beasts were floating on the gatehouse.]

[After asking passers-by, I learned that it was the immortal master from Fangcun Mountain who came to visit the Chen family. ]

[Someone is coming from Fangcun Mountain? ]
