Thinking of this, I took out this invitation, which was given to me by Master Ge. According to his ability and status in the circle, it is extremely easy to get such an invitation.

The invitation does not have a specific name. It is like a token in the world. Once it is sent out, it recognizes the object but not the person. If you go with this invitation, you will get some discounts and conveniences in the big market. What are they specifically?

Each session is different, so Master Liu didn’t explain it in detail.

In addition to writing some rules on the invitation, there is also a nearby map, a map leading to the big market! Unlike the ghost market, which is constantly changing its location, the location of the big market has always been fixed.

In this uninhabited land of province X.

But mysterious events often happen in this uninhabited land. According to the Tibetan driver, this is a place where gods and devils truly coexist. So let alone relying on a map, even with the most advanced equipment, you will still be there.

Get lost here or have an accident.

With this invitation, you only need to go to a certain place, and someone will pick you up and lead you to the big city. If not, you can only go by yourself. In fact, over the years, this has also damaged some practitioners.

.

This made me worried about my brothers and sisters. Did they get to the big city smoothly? Master Liu only mentioned their itinerary, but did not say that they were already there.

With such worries, I walked all the way from afternoon to evening. There was no road for a long time, and all I faced was the vast uninhabited prairie and the rolling snow-capped mountains.

There is no specific road, everything depends on the relatively detailed and beautiful map. But when I walked on it, it was hard to believe that there was a trading place for cultivators here, and it was a fixed trading place!

There was no way to go on the road at night, but I had already arrived here, so I didn’t have to worry about it for a day or two. On the way to this no-man’s land, I also followed the driver’s advice and bought some necessary things.

For example, fire-making tools and a one-person tent are all available, and we are ready to spend the night here.

A bonfire was lit at night, and the light of the fire always brought people hope, even in this no-man's land, this seemingly empty world.

I drank hot water, ate dry food, and figured out how long it would take tomorrow to reach the so-called meeting point, which is where practitioners who drive must also park their cars and walk.

Unexpectedly, in this dark world, in just one hour, many dotted bonfires were lit up, maybe a dozen of them, and they looked so heart-warming.

Those who were supposed to be cultivators and went to attend the big market like me didn’t expect that the big market had already been officially held and there were so many cultivators rushing there one after another. What is the attraction of this big market?

The nearest bonfire was about two miles away from me, but I didn't rush to say hello or anything. I don't know if it was my misunderstanding, but I always felt that the cultivators here were a little indifferent to each other.

Not affectionate.

Just when I finished eating the dry food, drank the hot water, washed briefly, and was about to go to the tent to rest, a voice came to my ears from afar: "Brother, can you kindly give it to me?"

A mouthful of hot water, so I can spend the night by the fire? Otherwise, I will freeze to death."

I was stunned, and subconsciously looked around. Then through the firelight, I saw a figure more than a hundred meters away in front of me, walking towards me. It seemed that he was calling me?

"I'm calling you, brother, is it okay?" The voice was full of longing and expectation, and a little bit of prayer.

"Come on." I was silent for a few seconds and finally responded.

Although I am always in danger and should be wary of many people and things, I still can’t bear to say no. I always think of what happened to me when I saw a thatched hut that night when I climbed the cliff.

Hope and warmth, I feel that no matter what the reason is, I shouldn’t reject the kindness in my heart, even if sometimes the results are not good, I shouldn’t!

Goodness is always the source of a person's inner peace. Such a person has actually completed a beautiful practice without knowing it. Even if he does not get the results for a while, what does it matter? Moreover, the real kindness is only kindness.

By itself, I don’t seek results, and I don’t think about rewards.

This is the answer Master gave me when I asked why good deeds are sometimes not rewarded when I was a child.

After receiving my consent, the man was obviously very happy. He even walked towards me with a little brisk pace and started to trot.

Two minutes later he arrived at my fire.

I took a look at the person who came and saw that he was a young man, no more than 20 years old. He was a bit short in stature but quite handsome in appearance.

This surprised me. I didn’t expect that someone in their 20s would dare to come alone to a big market in a no-man’s land. It reminded me that I was still a little ignorant in my 20s. In contrast, this young man seemed even more extraordinary.

"Brother, you are so kind. I have asked several groups of people, but they all rejected me. Why is the current cultivator circle so indifferent?" As soon as this man arrived next to the fire, he couldn't wait to reach out to warm himself up and make love to me.

When he talks, he seems to be a familiar person.

I set up the pot again on the volcano, heated up the hot water, took out the dry food and handed it to him.

I will never be stingy if I help someone to the end with a cup of hot water and some dry food.

"Thank you, brother, you are really kind, really." The young man showed a grateful expression on his face, reached out and took the dry food I handed him, and ate it hungrily.

I didn't say anything, and waited quietly for him to finish, and then asked: "Are you a cultivator too? How did you end up like this?"

We don't need to verify each other's identities. Real cultivators can see each other at a glance and can even sense it. I just wonder how he fell into this state without any preparation? Isn't it true?

Do you know that the big city is in no man's land?

The young man poured a cup of hot water and held it in his hand. When I asked about this, a sad look appeared on his face and he said: "Brother, this is a long story. I am a casual cultivator."

, there is no sect to rely on. I have been with my master and a senior brother since I was a child. Ever since I learned about the existence of this big city, I have always wanted to come and see it. You know, as a cultivator, I always long for something.

By chance.”

I lit a cigarette, and I could understand what he said. After all, which cultivator is not like this? Except for our weird Lao Li lineage, he seems to be more concerned about the various emotional fetters in this world, and has never thought of any positive results.

"But brother, you also know that life as a casual cultivator is difficult. In today's world, if you don't have money, don't talk about cultivation. What's more, our masters and disciples only rely on a small Taoist temple. This time, when I come out, I am still my master and senior brother.

I couldn't afford to rent a car with all the money I had collected, so I walked all the way here, and I didn't have many things prepared with me. I'm going to run out of food and ammunition by the time I get here." The young man looked bitter.

It made me feel a little sad. What he said is reality. If Master Ge hadn’t supported me with some money and I didn’t sell medicinal materials, I would probably be in the same situation as him. Anyway, it’s not much better than him. Would I be able to get here?

It’s all two things.

"Are there any tools for making fire?" I asked. Actually, I was confused. It should be possible to make a fire.

"I don't have the energy to light a fire. I've been hungry all day. Even if I light a fire and there's nothing in my stomach, I'm going to die of cold, right?" The young man looked bitter again.

I didn't ask any more questions. After all, it's a very bad thing to keep asking about other people's bitterness and use it to enhance your own feeling of superiority.

In silence, I handed the young man a cigarette, but he sternly rejected me and began to preach to me: "Brother, we are cultivators. Our lives should be regular and measured. This is the basic principle."

The basics, unless you are not wholeheartedly pursuing the road. Brother, don’t smoke this cigarette. Even if the road is elusive, there is always a difference between those who have pursued it and those who have not. Only by pursuing it can there be hope."

I smiled and said nothing. My master only taught me how to be a human being and how to follow the right path for practitioners. But he never taught me the results of pursuing a great path. I am not paranoid about this at all. Of course,

I will not contradict that young practitioner.

After chatting with him casually for a few words, I was already sleepy. After all, running around for a day was quite tiring.

"I'm going to sleep first. Please wake me up in the middle of the night. We'll take turns keeping watch. It's not easy for you after all." I greeted the young cultivator like this.

An expression of gratitude immediately showed on his face, and he agreed repeatedly, and said: "Brother, there is not much way left, can you just take me with you? I really just want to see it."

"Yeah." I simply replied and got into the tent. I agreed so naturally because I didn't want him to think that I was giving him a favor or something.

Night, quiet.
