Chapter 2 Three sentences to arouse the saint's heart Lu Li recited the opening poem softly, and the teahouse suddenly became lively."Oh, this story is really novel! I'm tired of hearing the same old heroic stories, but I didn't expect that this book, The Legend of the Great Love Immortal, would pique my interest again." "But I think, how could a demon like Fang Yuan become the Immortal of Great Love later on? Just hearing this title makes it seem like he is a good person." "There is a good saying in Buddhism, if you put down your butcher knife, you will become a Buddha instantly! This Fang Yuan was an evil demon in his previous life, but in this life he will definitely wake up and save people from suffering, and that's how he became the Immortal of Great Love!" Some are expecting, some are doubtful, and some are certain. In the private room on the second floor of the teahouse, Chi Ling couldn't help but applaud and said: "What a poem! What a poem!" Su Huan-zhen shook her head slightly, and said: “The parallelism and diction are average, but the force is extraordinary… However, this poem seems to be a summary of the narrative. Perhaps you will have a deeper understanding after listening to the whole book and then reading it again.” Chi Ling rolled his eyes and said happily: "Aunt Zhen, why don't we stay in Tianluo City for a while and listen to the Biography of the Great Love Immortal before leaving?" "Anyway, there's nothing to do right now, so let the elders worry about it!" Su Huan-zhen didn't say anything. Chi Ling knew her temper well and realized that Aunt Zhen had agreed. She immediately danced with joy until she received a glare from Su Huan-zhen, and then she calmed down.
At the small table downstairs, Lu Li saw that the atmosphere was almost tense, so he slammed the gavel. The noise in the teahouse suddenly disappeared, and the silence was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Lu Li smiled faintly and continued: "It is said that Fang Yuan was reborn five hundred years ago, but he was not troubled at all, because he was a true demon who would not regret his death!" "And the Guyue Village in Qingmao Mountain where he is now is exactly his hometown in his previous life." "In this Gu world, Gu insects are divided into nine stages from low to high, with the fifth stage being ordinary and the sixth stage and above being immortal. The same is true for Gu cultivators." "In this small Gu Yue village, the clan leader with the highest cultivation level, Gu Yuebo, is only a rank 4 Gu cultivator. This can only be considered a low-ranking force." "For this reason, Guyue Village places great emphasis on the training of the younger generation. Fang Yuan at this time was trained as a genius by the entire Guyue clan because he was young and intelligent and could speak eloquently." "It turns out that Fang Yuan has another identity, that is the devil from outer space! His soul is not from the Gu world, but a young man from another world. He has been learning poetry and songs since he was young. This is also the reason why he is young and smart." "When he first came to the Gu world in his previous life, he was full of passion and energy, and wanted to make a difference!" "It's a pity that his parents died early, so he could only live with his younger brother Gu Yue Fangzheng in his uncle and aunt's house. His uncle and aunt coveted his parents' inheritance and have been secretly suppressing the two brothers." "In his previous life, Fang Yuan had to use the poetry in his head to pretend to be precocious in order to let his brother and himself live a good life, so as to attract the attention of the clan." "But he didn't expect that although this move earned him a lot of praise, it also caused him to fall into the abyss!" "Gu cultivators need to open their orifices before they can practice. The orifices are divided into A, B, C, and D according to their quality. The better the quality, the faster the practice speed!" "In his previous life, Fang Yuan only realized that he was only of Class C caliber until the day he became enlightened. He was not a genius at all, and could even be considered trash!" "And his younger brother Fang Zheng, who has always been hiding under his genius halo, is actually a genuine top-level genius!" A series of exclamations were immediately heard in the teahouse, and many people frowned. Chi Ling was also somewhat surprised and said: "This... is a bit unexpected. This should be quite discouraging." "In the storytelling I listened to before, the protagonists were either gifted or had amazing talents. Why is Fang Yuan so frustrated?" Su Huanzhen sighed, not knowing what he was thinking about, and said, "How can you know the difficulties of others without experiencing their suffering? You were born with the True Body of the Vermillion Bird, and the sect has been cultivating you vigorously. You have encountered difficulties in your cultivation, so you naturally don't know that this sense of gap is enough to destroy a person!"
Chi Ling was stunned, and then remembered Su Huanzhen's life experience. Su Huanzhen was born into a large family. She was the daughter of Su Mowen, a genius of that time. She attracted much attention since she was born! But when the girl grew up, everyone discovered that she was mediocre and her talent in cultivation was no different from that of ordinary people! The tribesmen who once praised her highly kicked her back to the ground. The brothers and sisters in the clan who were of the same age as her had already surpassed her in cultivation by several blocks. Whenever they met them, they would always make sarcastic remarks to them. These sarcasms were like needles, piercing Su Huanzhen full of holes. Gradually, the lively and cheerful little girl disappeared, and was replaced by a cold, autistic and taciturn Su Huanzhen. From being the center of attention to being despised by everyone, only Su Huanzhen himself knew the bitterness in it! "This Fang Yuan is somewhat similar to me." “It was only with the encouragement of my parents that I managed to get through it and achieve what I have today!” "If I were to be reborn and experience those extremely dark days again..." A hint of panic flashed across Su Huanzhen's eyes, simply because that period of time was so depressing that it was still affecting her Taoist aspirations. "I wonder how Fang Yuan will face it when he is reborn? He is so good to his brother. I guess his brother is repaying his kindness and encouraging him to step out of the shadows." Su Huan-zhen was guessing in his heart. Lu Li drank a sip of tea and started to talk again: "At this time, Fang Yuan was recalling his past life. A voice saying "brother" interrupted his thoughts. Fang Yuan turned his head and saw a young man who looked similar to Fang Yuan standing humbly behind him." "Seeing his younger brother Fang Zheng, Fang Yuan recalled many things." "In his previous life, this brother Gu Yue Fang Zheng, who was taken care of and loved by him, immediately had a subtle change in his heart after learning that he was an A-level talent." "People's hearts are hard to predict, even brothers!" "Fang Yuan has become a mediocre person, while Fang Zheng has become a genius. However, he did not even think of helping his brother. Instead, he just took advantage of Fang Yuan's misfortune and persecuted him like everyone else!" "It was also him who eventually caused Fang Yuan in his previous life to become disheartened and follow the caravan to leave Qingmao Mountain and start wandering in the Gu world." …… Everyone in the teahouse started discussing again: "Fuck, why do I feel like this Fang Zheng is even more infuriating than Fang Yuan, who has killed countless people? Just hearing this makes me want to hit him!" "That's right, to treat your own relatives like this, it's simply a birth." "Alas, in fact, there are many such things in reality. I can only say that this is human nature!" When Chi Ling heard this, she was so angry that her teeth itched: "Damn it, this Fang Zheng is so despicable! He is such an ungrateful person! His brother is so good to him, yet he is like this!" "If I were Fang Yuan, I would definitely beat up Fang Zheng first to relieve my hatred!" Chi Ling even clenched her fists and secretly encouraged Fang Yuan: "Fang Yuan, hit him now! You are a big devil, you will definitely do this, right!" (End of this chapter)
