I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 4: After going through countless trials and tribulations, one realizes that simplicity is the truest

The world of true cultivation, the real world.

The two worlds are different.

Living habits, cultural environment, clothing... everything from software to hardware is different. It is indeed difficult for a modern soul to completely adapt to the ancient times.

The surrounding environment will gradually shape a person into a person who suits the environment, just like some people go to a certain place and learn the dialect, but forget how to speak Mandarin.

Therefore, Bai Xuan never stays in the other world for too long.

If you stay in the world of true cultivation for too long, you will forget that you are a modern person.

In order to formulate the plan to destroy Qin, from preparation to action, this time the stay lasted for more than 800 days, almost tying the previous record of 907 days.

So Bai Xuan plans to stay in the real world for a few more days this time to adjust his mood and state.

No matter how powerful you were in your previous life, you still have to start from scratch in the next life.

It’s like when playing a competitive game, no matter whether you win or lose in the previous game, it’s best not to start the next game immediately. Instead, you need to wait for a while and adjust your mentality to the best state so that you can play the next game without being affected.

Life in the real world doesn't have so many ups and downs.

The advantage of modern society is that public security is stable and life is plain, just like a bowl of boiled water.

Plain water has no taste.

But it really quenches thirst and is the source of life that no one can live without.

Especially since Bai Xuan had lived in the last years of the Qin Dynasty for nearly twenty years in his previous life, he thoroughly understood the meaning of the saying "When prosperity comes, the people suffer; when decline comes, the people suffer." Now look at China... it's a crappy heyday that can't even be compared to any feudal dynasty.

Although the productivity of the world of true cultivation is not low, and even in some aspects the efficiency completely surpasses the equipment of modern society, how can the true cultivators who truly master the core power go to the fields to farm and build water conservancy projects, and are willing to wear the civil engineering branch hat and lock themselves from love and be willing to work in ashes for half their lives?

For five years, Bai Xuan has been traveling back and forth between Earth and the other world.

It was quite enjoyable and very rewarding.

Being able to experience different lives also inadvertently increases one's knowledge, broadens one's life experience, and enriches the depth of life.

After many such trips, Bai Xuan traveled to various countries and witnessed with his own eyes the end of the Warring States Period and the eternal hegemony of the Qin Dynasty unifying the six kingdoms.

At that time, he also personally rode on horseback to charge into the city, shouted "big wind" with the soldiers, beheaded people and seized flags, and was the first to break into the battle line.

But because of this, no one knows better than him that there is no eternal dynasty in this world.

The Qin Dynasty failed to break the monopoly of knowledge, and the existence of true cultivation directly created a class that was superior to ordinary people.

Coupled with the self-reinforcing effect of dragon veins, the illusory yet omnipresent concept of luck... all these things have further solidified the feudal system.

If Bai Xuan hadn't sacrificed himself to kill him with a single sword, the Great Qin might have lasted for hundreds more years. What a devastating situation it would have been in by then...

Since there is no hope anyway, I might as well break it down before I build it up.

If no one does it, then I will do it.

Knowing that I have sinned against myself, it is only the Spring and Autumn Period.

Bai Xuan didn't know if this would get better, but at least it wouldn't get worse.

Merits, demerits, right and wrong will be left for future generations to judge.

He turned around.

In an instant, a door appeared right in the center of my sight, standing out of nowhere in the middle of the living room.

Its appearance is indeed a door, and it seems to be made of some kind of liquid. It looks neither solid nor reliable, like a soap bubble that bursts at the slightest poke, or like the energy projections that often appear in science fiction novels.

The most eye-catching thing is of course the cold dark moon on the door, which looks like it is reflected on the lake. It is incomplete and incomplete, but it is full of broken beauty.

Lines of ancient characters appeared on the gate.

These characters appeared when Bai Xuan first crossed the Dark Moon Gate. Its shape has been constantly changing, just like the evolution of history and writing itself. The current font is small seal script.

【Confirm the history changes】

[Timeline sorting out...]

[Adjusting the law of cause and effect...]

【Estimated waiting time: 70 hours】

This also reveals the sixth rule of the Darkmoon Gate.

[Sixth, every time you die, the time for the next crossing between the two realms will be postponed. The longer the cooldown time of the Dark Moon Realm Gate, the longer it will take to enter the True Cultivation World next time.]

[Suspected inference: The greater the impact of the previous event, the higher the realm strength, the greater the historical changes, and the longer the waiting time and time span.]

"Close to three days of cooling off."

"The longest recorded time was only twenty hours, so this time is a bit long."

"It seems my inference is correct. The greater the impact on history, the longer the cooling-off period."

Bai Xuan withdrew his gaze and then waved his hand. The Dark Moon Realm Gate disappeared from the living room, just like the fade-in and fade-out in AE special effects, without causing any ripples.

He thought that this was just the right amount of time to adjust his mood and cultivate himself.

There is no need to rush in for now.

……

After basking in the sun for a while.

Bai Xuan touched his empty belly, cooked a bowl of noodles in the kitchen, added an egg, took out the braised chicken legs he bought yesterday, and had his lunch in this way.

He only remembered and sighed after he finished eating.

"Why do I feel like I'm back, but the food isn't as good as before?"

When I was a land immortal, every meal was delicious.

At first he did it all on his own, and later he founded Jiange. The youngest apprentice had average talent for swordplay, but he had amazing talent in cooking, and he surpassed his master in just three years.

Everyone says that being a god is great, but the only thing they can’t forget is delicious food.

It is impossible to practice fasting, it is impossible to practice fasting in this lifetime.

Also because Bai Xuan likes to study food, he has sorted out all kinds of recipes from the real cultivation world in advance.

In addition, he also made a food preparation manual, printed it and distributed it everywhere, so Bai Wuming also had a nickname called "Kitchen Immortal".

When he was alive in his previous life, he couldn't enter the ancestral temple and there was no temple. Maybe after he died, he could be sent to a temple and be worshipped by future generations.

Incidentally, flush toilets and toilet paper were also invented by him during the period when the Qin Dynasty unified the world. However, he used different accounts for these inventions, otherwise people in later generations might have given him the title of "Toilet Immortal".

As he was thinking, he became distracted.

I couldn't help but pat my thigh and sighed.

"I'm overthinking it again. Am I getting too old? I'm actually starting to feel nostalgic."

Bai Xuan looked at the bright blue sky outside the house, and suddenly felt as if he hadn't stepped out of the door for several years, as if his whole body was about to mold.

"Let's go out for a walk."

I just came back and I'm not even used to the clothes I'm wearing. It's obvious that I need some time to slowly adapt.

Before going out, he looked at himself in the floor-length mirror and tidied himself up.

In the world of true cultivation, this habit has long been formed.

And remove stale air.

And straighten your clothes.

……

Go out and walk in the sunshine, strolling along the community.

In the afternoon, there are not many people going out in the residential area.

Only the elderly brought their energetic children to the plastic toy facility area in the community.

As Bai Xuan was walking by, an old woman nudged her husband with her elbow. A few words of discussion could be heard.

Bai Xuan also noticed that there were several little kids staring at him. He stopped for a moment and looked back. Immediately, a brave kid shouted, "Big brother is so handsome!"

He touched the girl's head and smiled.

Take the initiative to ask how old this sweet-talking girl is.

The old lady who was taking care of the baby took a look at Bai Xuan and thought that the young man had a very good appearance. In addition, it was broad daylight and there were people around, so she also started talking with a smile on her face.

Bai Xuan stood aside and chatted with the old grandpas and grandmas.

Bai Xuan originally had a good appearance, which he inherited from his beautiful mother's genes. He had been praised by his good friend Lao Wang next door since junior high school. Later, when he went to college, his friend even said that he looked like a woman after putting on makeup, and had a bit of a boyish and feminine look.

It is obviously not appropriate to say that he is heroic, but there is definitely nothing wrong with saying that he is a sunny and cheerful big boy.

With rich life experience, he is also well versed in the skills of talking to the elderly. It is just like combing the hair of a cat or dog, you have to go along with it.

Within a few minutes, the elderly ladies with children nearby surrounded him and started chatting with him about this and that... The inner thoughts of Chinese aunties are simply a bottomless pit.

Bai Xuan was also happy to listen to these people chattering, take a walk in the community, listen to the words of the elderly, and feel the atmosphere of the city life, which would gradually adjust his mood.

The harmonious and happy atmosphere here was suddenly broken by a few dog barkings.

A uniformed security guard not far away ran and shouted, "Everyone, get out of the way!"

He stopped talking and tilted his head to look.

Two large dogs were fighting on the ground, with their hair flying everywhere.

It's a golden retriever and a pastoral dog.

I don't know what kind of conflict they had, but they were fighting fiercely. The golden retriever, who usually had a kind face and said "there are no bad guys", now showed its vicious side. As for the other one, it should be a stray dog, which can be seen from the color of its fur.

The two big dogs started fighting, which scared everyone around them.

Several little kids hid behind the fitness equipment, watching the scene with horror on their faces.

The golden retriever's owner was an old man, but because of his age, he failed to grab the dog leash in his panic and did not dare to step forward to stop it.

The fight between the two dogs was quite brutal, even to the point of blood being shed.

The security guard came, but he didn't dare to go forward rashly.

When dealing with any animal, humans hope to avoid getting hurt as much as possible. Once they are hurt, they will become immediately furious.

The fight between the two dogs became more and more fierce.

The golden retriever bit the local dog's neck tightly, and the security guard hurriedly pulled the dog leash.

"Open your mouth, open your mouth!"

The golden retriever refused to loosen its teeth, and a fierce look on its face said, "I'm going to kill it today."

Just when the group of people didn't know what to do, a stone was thrown out from the crowd and hit the golden-haired man's head accurately.

The seemingly light blow made the golden retriever howl and loosen its teeth. The local dog seized the opportunity and quickly dodged.

However, the golden retriever, weighing dozens of kilograms, still wanted to pounce. The security guard behind him pulled the dog's leash tightly and cursed with difficulty: "This dog has gone crazy!"

At this time, a figure stood in front of the golden retriever, separating the two dogs from each other.

The golden retriever bared his teeth.

Someone shouted from behind, "Watch out, young man!"

"Don't try to show off, this dog is too fierce!"

"Old Song, your dog is crazy!"

"If you get bitten by this, it will cost you thousands!"

"Woof woof woof!" the golden retriever barked fiercely.

Then it met a pair of eyes as calm as the abyss, and there seemed to be golden and blue light shining in the depths of the pupils.

"Quiet." Bai Xuan said.

"Ouch...ow..."

The barking quickly subsided, and the golden retriever began to stammer like a child who had made a mistake, not daring to look up at people.

"Lower your head and lie down." Bai Xuan said again.

The golden retriever lowered its head, no longer showing any signs of ferocity. It lay down in a wronged manner, with its chin resting on the concrete floor.

"Hey, ah this..." The security guard looked at this scene, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in his heart, "Oh my god!"

Bai Xuan turned his head and glanced at the big yellow dog, then said calmly, "You go ahead."

After saying this, he himself realized that he had not changed his habit of speaking, and it sounded very nostalgic.

When the big yellow dog heard this, he got up as if he had been pardoned and limped away.

Seeing this, the golden retriever raised its tail.

Then Bai Xuan knocked on its head, and the big golden retriever's tail drooped again.

"Okay, it's okay." Bai Xuan said to the people around him.

Only then did the old people feel relieved.

The security guard grabbed the dog leash, hesitated for a moment, and handed it to Bai Xuan. He rubbed his hands. When he pulled the dog just now, his palms were left with red marks from the rope.

"Brother, you... have something."

Bai Xuan explained with a smile: "I have a friend who is a policeman, and I learned some dog training techniques from him."

"Oh, I see. I was thinking... this dog behaved itself the moment it saw you."

After chatting for a few words.

The old man who raised the dog came over embarrassedly and began to express his gratitude.

"But what's going on with this golden retriever? It's never this ferocious normally." An old lady holding a baby asked from several meters away.

"It's jealous." Bai Xuan said as he looked at the golden retriever who was still lying down after being punished.

"Jealous?"

"Hmm... that big yellow dog must be a stray. The Golden Retriever saw the family secretly feeding it leftovers, so it just went straight for it this time." Bai Xuan tapped the aggrieved dog's head again: "Golden Retrievers are clingy, but they hate their own kind and are jealous."

After explaining, Bai Xuan looked at the people around him who were coming over again, and it seemed like he wouldn't be able to calm down for a while.

Just at this moment, a phone call came in, and he answered the phone and turned to leave.

The elderly and children from the same community behind him were looking at his back in amazement. It was estimated that this matter would spread in the community soon.

"This young man is handsome, brave, and kind-hearted..."

"It's a pity that my daughter got married early."

"I think your granddaughter is not bad either."

"What nonsense are you talking about? She's only fifteen!"

……

After the little episode, Bai Xuan returned home and started cleaning.

He is not a slovenly person.

I cleaned the house today because the landlord just called and said he would come to check.

My current residence is a rented two-bedroom, one-living room apartment. I used to share the apartment with a roommate, but he later moved out.

'Boom dong dong'

There was a knock on the door. Bai Xuan stopped what he was doing and opened the door.
