I'm a passerby, I'm the daughter of God

"Sanlang, why are you reading all day? Come out and play with me for a while."

Duan Sanlang looked at Yun Shu helplessly. This little girl was getting more and more addicted to off-road running. The day before yesterday, they went to the farm together, saying they wanted to catch rabbits, but they ended up catching them in the fields and got covered in mud.

He smiled helplessly: "Where do you want to go?"

"It's such a nice day today, I'm going to fly a kite."

"can."

Father Yun watched the two men leave the house and stopped them.

"Sanlang, don't spoil her like this. She's getting wilder and wilder. It'll be a disaster after you get married."

Yun Shu blushed: "Daddy, what nonsense are you talking about."

Duan Sanlang smiled and said, "It's okay. Yunshu can do whatever she wants after marriage. I won't restrict her. Her life shouldn't be confined to a small house. As long as she is happy, she can live however she wants."

Yun Shu blushed and pulled Duan Sanlang out.

The weather is great. Seeing Yunshu looking carefree, I am just afraid that I can't give her a good enough gift.

"Sanlang, you are already the top three candidates in the imperial examination. You will be taking the provincial examination soon. Are you nervous?"

"No, it's not difficult. I'll get you a top scorer."

Yun Shu was very happy, but she had a little woman's mentality: "Why would I want to be the top scholar?"

"I will embroider your veil at home, and wait for me to come back and marry you in a grand ceremony with a sedan chair carried by eight people."

"I heard that many people snatched people on the day of the results announcement. Seeing that you are handsome, they snatched you away to be their son-in-law."

"You and I have already been engaged, Yun Shu, do you want to deny it?"

After returning home, Duan Sanlang fell ill and did not dare to tell Yunshu. Every time Yunshu came to see him, he would use the excuse of studying and writing articles. He was afraid that Yunshu would blame herself, and he was also afraid that he could not keep her with his current health.

After some time, when he had recovered, he took part in the provincial examination.

On the day of the announcement of the results, Duan Sanlang was indeed the top scorer.

As expected, Duan Sanlang looked indifferent. Yunshu was very excited. She knew from childhood that Sanlang was very good at studying and always topped the exams. There was such a gentle and talented man in the world. And he was her future husband.

The imperial examination and the palace examination. The six top scholars and his brother, the top scholar chosen by the emperor. The spring breeze is full of joy and the horses are galloping. In one day, I can see all the flowers in Chang'an.

But I didn't expect that what I said would come true.

The king wanted to marry his princess to him, and when his name was on the imperial examination, they had their wedding night. People always like to add icing on the cake.

Yun Shu cried and her eyes turned red after knowing this: "Everyone always says that men are fickle. It was true that I loved her and married her then, and it was also true that I wanted a future and power now. Sanlang has had a bad health since he was a child, and he has no spiritual roots, so he can't cultivate immortality and can only be a mortal. He can't fly freely between heaven and earth, so he can only enter the officialdom to show his ambitions."

Compared with the princess, she was a world apart. Sanlang had just entered the officialdom and his foundation was not stable, so marrying the princess was a great help.

Duan Sanlang took out the marriage contract from his arms.

"I dare not lie to you, my Lord. I have been engaged since I was young. I was planning to come and ask for your hand in marriage when I return home in glory."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"He is someone I have always kept in mind."

Duan Sanlang returned to Hanshan City exhausted and prepared to ask for admission.

next day

Mr. Duan passed away unfortunately.

Duan Sanlang served for three months and took up his new post, with Yun Shu accompanying him all the way.

The suffering of the people, especially when mortals and immortals are mixed together, is even more difficult for mortals. Although the immortals have made an agreement not to harm mortals at will, they are also afraid of cause and effect.

But there are always some evil cultivators who attack mortals.

Duan Sanlang could only find some people with good moral character to take charge. He solved unjust cases, investigated corruption, and pulled down the bad apples one by one.

During these three years, Duan Sanlang never stopped, and Yunshu was always by his side. After they got married, they treated each other with respect and affection, like a pair of immortal lovers.

However, he came into contact with more and more immortal cultivators. However, Duan Sanlang had this disease from his mother's womb. He was weak and had no spiritual roots, so he was destined to be unable to practice.

"Husband, people always admire the strong. Have you ever thought about cultivating immortality?"

"How can I cultivate without spiritual roots? Why did you suddenly bring this up today?"

"I think it would be great if my husband could cultivate himself, so that he can be healthy. During the time my husband was in office, the people's lives were getting better and better. Everyone said that Lord Duan was like their second parent. A good person like my husband should naturally live a hundred years."

Duan Sanlang looked at his young lady, whose eyes were red as he spoke, and gently held her in his arms: "Madam, why are you thinking about these things? You should think about how to spend tonight."

The two of them fell on the couch, and in an instant his kiss swept like raindrops, slowly reaching out to untie her hairpin. Three thousand black hair spread on the couch, like a beautiful painting. The two of them breathed passionately and hotly.

The emerald green curtains swayed gently, reflecting the soft light. Beside the window, a pot of lush peonies was in full bloom, with bright and beautiful petals...

Yun Shu looked at him worriedly: "Husband, you have been coughing a lot these days, let's put your official duties aside for now."

"It's okay. I've been like this since I was a kid. Don't worry."

"But....."

Yun Shu didn't dare to say too much to disturb his mind. He thought more than once, if he could cultivate immortality and escape the suffering of this mortal body and disease, how happy his life would be.

Her husband is so good, he should be riding a white horse with a silver saddle, galloping like a meteor.

Yun Shu thought about it and murmured, "A young man in spring clothes, smiling at the splendor without any worries."

Duan Sanlang smiled and looked at her lovingly: "You must know that when I was young, I had the ambition to be the best in the world. In just twenty years, my life has been worth it, but the time I can spend with you is too short."

He added: "Madam, eight out of ten things in this world are not satisfactory... ahem..."

After that, Duan Sanlang's health deteriorated day by day, and he was often bedridden. Later, he really had no energy to handle official duties, so he resigned and returned to Hanshan City to recuperate.

On the way, he found a wounded red fox by the stream. Feeling sorry for it, he took it home and adopted it.

One day, Yunshu went out for an outing and met a Taoist priest in Taoist robes at a Taoist temple.

"This lady is worried about her husband's health. I have a way to help her."

Yun Shu looked at the Taoist in front of him with some suspicion.

He just waved his hand and it started to rain, and a light drizzle fell from the sky. He waved his hand again and the rain stopped.

Yun Shu believed it most of the time when he saw it: Let’s give it a try, maybe it will work.

Yun Shu led the Taoist into the mansion.

Duan Sanlang looked at the Taoist in front of him calmly. He knew his own body well and was afraid that he would not have much time left. The only person he was most relieved about was Yunshu. People are always greedy. He just wanted to stay with Yunshu for a little longer. If there was a chance to live, who would want to die?

Duan Sanlang followed the Taoist to learn the art of cultivating immortality, and his health improved day by day. Although he could not call the wind and rain, his health gradually became better than that of a normal person. Before, he felt scared when he walked three steps quickly, and he felt weak and coughed when the weather changed and the wind blew. For the first time, he had a normal body. Everything was going well, but he always felt uneasy.

The good times didn't last long, Duan Sanlang's health began to deteriorate again, and the previous period was like a last gasp.

"It feels good to have a normal body, right? A body that has been trained can only be better. You are practicing the secret method with me, and it's time to make a choice."

Duan Sanlang realized something was wrong: "Secret method? Didn't you say it was a magic technique?"

"To cultivate immortality one must abandon human emotions and desires. Now is the right time to prove your truth. Kill the person you love most, and you will be successful."

"What? What kind of Tao is this? It's so cruel that it's better not to practice it."

"If you don't practice, you will die."

"So what? I don't have much time left, so I am satisfied to be able to spend more time with her."

"This is not up to you."
