Chapter 1725 The Master Who Cannot Be Invited

That night, Wang Shu brought a ginseng to Tie Rui's temporary room.

"Brother Tie, I'm so grateful to you for helping me in the mountains.

I have nothing to repay you. If you don't mind, just take this ginseng!"

The ginseng, which originally had a little dirt on it, had been cleaned and placed in a wooden box, and was also padded with clean cotton cloth. This was obviously the best way for this ordinary farmer to treat a ginseng.

However, although this ginseng is a treasure for mortals like Wang Shu, for a cultivator like Tie Rui, the spiritual energy of this ginseng is not even as good as a bowl of low-level spiritual rice.

But for Wang Shu's family, such a ginseng is enough to keep their family well-fed for several years.

Therefore, Tie Rui did not accept the ginseng, but said:

"Brother Wang, you don't have to be so polite. I just saved people as I please, and I don't need any reward.

Besides, I don't lack these things;

Brother Wang, you should keep this ginseng for yourself!

In the future, whether it is to regulate the body of the elderly or to sell it for silver, it will be useful."

Afterwards, no matter what Wang Shu said, Tie Rui did not accept the ginseng.

Wang Shu could only return to his wife with mixed feelings.

"Wife, what should I do?

Brother Tie doesn't accept this ginseng."

Wang Shu's eyebrows drooped, and his expression was more depressed than going up the mountain for three days without hunting.

Yu Yan yawned and waved her hand,

"If Brother Tie really doesn't accept it, forget it, you can let him stay for a while, and then buy more delicious food when you come back from the city tomorrow;

During the time when Brother Tie is a guest, let alone anything else, he must eat well!"

Yu Yan couldn't think of more ways.

Wang Shu nodded and patted his chest to promise,

"Don't worry, my wife, I will definitely bring back a basket of delicious food tomorrow."

The next morning, Wang Shu had breakfast and went to the city with a basket on his back.

Tiedan pestered him to go, but was rejected by Wang Shu.

"Dad is going to do some serious work this time, I'll take you next time.

Be good and wait for Dad to come back at home, Dad will bring you candy."

Hearing that there is candy, Tiedan immediately behaved.

Wang Shu is tall and strong, and has enough physical strength. If he leaves for the city in the morning, he can come back before dinner. If he brings a child, it will be much slower.

What Tie Rui didn't expect was that Wang Shu was happy when he set out, but he was sad when he came back, as if he had encountered some difficulties.

But he did bring back a basket of delicious food, not only rice, flour, salt, etc., but also candy for Tiedan.

Tiedan got a big bag of candy, and generously gave one piece to each of Wang Shu and the others. The rest of the bag was his own. He could eat one piece a day until midsummer!

Tiedan was very happy, holding the candy in his mouth, and he didn't quite understand why his father was not happy after eating the candy.

Tierui was also a little strange. After dinner, he looked at Wang Shu, who was sitting at the door and sighing, and asked:

"But what went wrong on this trip?"

Wang Shu nodded and said depressedly:

"Master Li has already bought a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng from other places, and he doesn't need more;

And he doesn't want to move to Hedong Village. First, the road is too difficult to walk, and second, his relatives and friends are all in the city. If he comes here, he has no relatives. If his daughter suddenly has a minor illness, he can't find a good doctor.

Alas, it's all for his children, and I can understand him.

But in this case, the matter of running a school in the village will probably be delayed for an unknown period of time."

Wang Shu said, and couldn't help feeling depressed.

He just wanted to open a school, how come it was more difficult than killing the wolf?

Tie Rui felt a little sorry when he heard this.

Wang Shu and his son were both ambitious and wanted to change the future of the children in Hedong Village, but it was a pity that everything was difficult at the beginning, difficult to persist in the middle, and even more difficult to have a perfect ending.

Tie Rui thought for a while, and suddenly remembered something. He looked at Wang Shu and asked a question that was completely unrelated:

"Brother Wang, do you have any books at home?

Any book is fine, can you lend it to me?"

The language used by the immortal cultivators in the spiritual world is mostly the same, but Tie Rui is not sure about mortals.

After all, the spiritual world is vast, and it is normal for many different languages ​​and characters to be born in the long years.

Although it is not clear why Tie Rui wants the book, Tie Rui saved his life, so Wang Shu naturally answered every question:

"Yes, there is a book in Yuyan's dowry, I asked her to get it."

Wang Shu, who had something to do, stood up in a hurry and went to find Yuyan to get the book.

It was an old book with a slightly worn cover. It actually told the story of the Gu family immortals coming to the world to drive away the plague and save the people.

Tie Rui had not personally experienced the Gu family's extermination of the plague for the human race in the entire Lingmie Land, but he had heard about it.

It's just that the story from the perspective of the immortals is naturally different from the story in the eyes of mortals, so many descriptions are also particularly dreamy.

Of course, it may also be because the person who wrote this book has a strong writing ability, and he outlined the scene at that time with just a few strokes, which is fascinating.

For a while, Tie Rui actually read it with relish.

Wang Shu and his wife were a little surprised to see Tie Rui turning the pages of the book quickly.

They were not very literate and had never attended a private school. They didn't know that scholars could read so fast!

For a while, the couple had an inexplicable respect for Tie Rui.

It took Tie Rui only half an hour to finish reading the storybook.

He closed the book, his eyes fell on the pages, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

How to say it?

It is quite novel to understand the Gu family and the world of immortal cultivation from this way.

What is certain is that if you understand the world of immortal cultivation and "immortals" from this way, you can understand it too narrowly and one-sidedly.

But it unexpectedly fits the appearance of immortal cultivators in the eyes of mortals.

At this time, Yuyan asked curiously:

"Brother Tie, what is this book about?"

Tie Rui came back to his senses and saw that the couple were very curious, so he explained:

"This is a historical story book. It records that hundreds of years ago, there was an epidemic in the world, which was rampant and caused countless deaths and injuries to people and animals, but no cure could be found;

All those who were infected with the epidemic died.

Later, an immortal named Gu came to the world and cured the epidemic, allowing the human race to continue to live in peace.

In order to commemorate this event, many people set up a longevity tablet for Gu Xianren, built temples to worship him, wrote stories to spread, etc."

After hearing Tie Rui's words, Wang Shu slapped his thigh,

"So that's the thing!

I've heard from the old people that there was indeed a serious epidemic in the past, but my grandfather was not born at that time!"

As for this matter, Yuyan has also heard several versions, but these stories are similar and all mention Gu Xianren, and it is these stories that make these mortals respect and worship the immortals very much.
