Chapter 373 True Life

Jia Zilong, a scholar in Chang'an, happened to pass by the alley next door on this day. He saw a guest with a graceful demeanor. He asked him his name and replied, "My name is Zhensheng." Jia Zilong admired him. The next day, he prepared a famous post and went to visit the house. He went there three times in a row, but he was not at home.

For the fourth time, Jia Zilong found out in advance that Zhensheng was indeed in the house, so he went to visit. Real life avoided seeing him. Jia Zilong searched around and found him out. I had no choice but to have a banquet. The two talked for a long time and were happy with each other. Jia Zilong took out his savings and ordered the child to buy wine in front of him. I really drink a lot, and I'm good at talking and laughing. I can't do it well. I don't have much wine left. Jia Zilong was still not happy and couldn't help complaining.

With a faint smile, he reached out and opened the bamboo box and took out a big jade cup. The shape of the jade cup was exquisite, but there was no bottom. Zhensheng poured the leftover wine from the pot into the glass and just poured it full. The wine remained steady and did not overflow or miss. Zhensheng held a small cup in his hand. He couldn't help filling the wine into the glass and pouring it into the wine pot. The wine in the pot was full. The wine in the jade cup was as usual, and not a drop was reduced.

Jia Zilong shouted strangely and taught this spell to Zhensheng. Zhensheng said, "Brother Jia is good at everything, but he is too greedy. The reason why I don't want to meet you is because of this. This is the secret skill of the fairy family. How can it be passed on to mortals? Jia Zilong said, "It's wrong! I'm not greedy. Occasionally, I have extravagant thoughts. I'm really afraid of poverty. Smile and say goodbye.

Since then, the two have been in close contact with each other. Whenever Jia Zilong is embarrassed, Zhensheng will take out a black stone and grind the rubble while chanting the spell. In an instant, the rubble will turn into silver, but the number is limited, only enough to spend, and there will not be an extra point.

Jia Zilong often complains, "Why don't you grind more?" Zhensheng smiled and said, "I said you're greedy, what do you think?" Jia Zilong said silently, thinking, "It seems that he is begging him, but most of the time he will not agree." He thought about it and planned to steal the black stone when he was really asleep.

On this day, Zhensheng fell asleep after drinking. Jia Zilong searched on him and looked for Black Stone. He didn't expect that Zhensheng was not asleep. He immediately noticed and sighed, "Brother Jia really has no conscience. He can't get along with you anymore." Say goodbye and leave.

A year has passed in a blink of an eye, and there is no real trace. On this day, Jia Zilong went to the river to play and saw a piece of black stone on the beach, crystal clear, very similar to Zhensheng's. With great joy, I will pick up the black stone, treasure it, and take it home.

A few days later, Zhensheng suddenly visited and was sad. Jia Zilong expressed his condolences. Zhensheng said, "What Brother Jia saw the day before yesterday was the golden stone of the immortal. In the past, I followed Mako to practice Taoism. He saw that I was upright, so he gave me some gold and stone. The day before yesterday, I passed by the river drunk and accidentally lost the stone. It turned out to be in the hands of Brother Jia. If Brother Jia has 'another kindness' to me and return the stone, I will repay it.

Jia Zilong smiled and said, "I have never cheated my friends in my life. Yes, your stone is indeed in my hands. But in the past, Guan Bao intersected, and Guan Zhong's family was poor. Uncle Bao often helped him. At present, my current situation is not much different from Guan Zhong. How are you going to repay me? Zhensheng said, "I'll give you a hundred taels of silver."

Jia Zilong said, "A hundred taels of silver, indeed a lot. But please teach me the formula. I want to try a pilot stone into gold in person, but it's a wish. Zhensheng said, "It's okay to teach the formula, but I'm afraid that you are not greedy enough and don't keep your word." Jia Zilong said, "You are originally a fairy. Why don't you know me? Is Jia a person who has lost faith in my friends?"

I really can't teach Jia's formula now. Jia Zilong saw a huge stone on the steps and was ready to use it to test its authenticity. Zhensheng quickly pulled it and frowned, "It's too big." Jia Zilong sighed, leaned down to pick up half a green brick, put it on the anvil, and said, "Half a green brick, is it enough?" Zhensheng is a sincere person. There is no doubt about it, and he nodded now.

But he didn't know that Jia Zilong was cunning. When grinding, he only grinded iron anvil, not green bricks. Seeing this, he looked unhappy and was about to take back the black stone, but Jia Zilong moved so fast. He pointed left and right. In an instant, more than ten pounds of anvil turned into gold, and then returned the black stone.

Zhensheng sighed, "That's it. What else can I say? It's just that if I casually give Fulu to Brother Jia, I will be punished by God. If Brother Jia doesn't forget his old friends, please atone for me and give me a hundred coffins and a hundred cotton-padded clothes. I wonder if you are willing to help?

Jia Zilong said, "Don't worry, I'm not a miser. Since gold is easy to get, I should do more good deeds." I'm so happy that I'm leaving. Jia Zilong became rich overnight. Since then, he has abandoned literature and business. While doing business, he helped the poverty. In less than three years, he gave away the coffin and cotton-padded clothes.

On this day, Zhensheng suddenly appeared, held Jia's palm and said, "Brother Jia is really a believer! Since the last separation, I have been impeached by the God of Fortune and deprived of immortality by the Jade Emperor. Fortunately, Brother Jia has accumulated virtue for me. Now the merits have been full, the sins have been eliminated, and I will no longer be punished. I hope you will continue to do good deeds and live a long life.

Jia Zilong asked, "What position do you hold in the heavenly court?" Zhensheng said, "I was originally a fox demon, but I finally got out of life and death. Because of my humble background, I dare not do evil in my life, and I have never done anything bad. The two got back together. Later, Jia Zilong lived in his nineties and still maintained contact with the fox fairy.

With the kindness: When Pei Du, a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, his life was in a good place. A warlock gave him a face and said, "The prince has a strange appearance. Either he is a great minister, or he has to starve to death." Pei Du smiled when he heard the words, but he didn't pay attention to it.

On this day, Pei Du went to Xiangshan Temple and saw a woman carrying a package in the Buddhist temple. With a sad face, the woman put the package on the ground, knelt down and prayed, then hurried away, and dropped the package in a hurry and forgot to take it away.

Pei Du picked up the package and opened it. There were two jade belts and a rhinoceros belt inside, each of which was worth a lot of money. At dusk, the woman returned again and looked around for the package. She looked anxious. Pei Du asked her why, and the woman cried, "My father was framed and innocent. It was not easy to borrow three tapes and prepare to bribe the government to save him from the embarrassment, but I lost them. What should I do? Pei Du asked about the size, shape and type characteristics of the belt. The woman said it one by one, and it was no different.

Pei Du nodded and returned the package to the woman. The woman was overjoyed. She took out the rhinoceros belt and gave it to Pei Du. Pei Du didn't want it and turned around and left. Later, Pei Du saw the warlock again, and the warlock said, "The prince must have accumulated good virtue. He has a long way to come, which is unlimited."

The warlock is not wrong. Pei Du was admitted as a scholar when he was 25 years old. He has been in politics for decades. He has been an official to the prime minister, and has been awarded the title of Duke of Jin. He has served four emperors one after another. It can be said that he is the elders of the four dynasties and has a prominent status.
