Thanks: Brother ‘08a’ for the reward, thank you Xia Tian.

Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. After Huang Shaohong conquered Kong Xuan, the Emperor Ziwei star in the sky became a little brighter. This change immediately alarmed six heavenly saints.

In the Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi Tianzun was also frowning and thinking silently.

Recalling that thirty-eight years ago, before the great catastrophe of conferring gods had yet to begin, Daozu, in front of all the saints in the Zixiao Palace, stated that the person who would confer gods should come from his sect, and he would follow the "conferred gods list" and "beating"

The sacred whips are all handed over to Chanjiao for safekeeping.

After returning to the 'Yuxu Palace Dojo', the 'Yuanshi Tianzun' began to deduce the heaven's secrets. At that time, the great catastrophe had not yet arrived, and the heaven's secrets were clear and clear, letting him know that the person who should be catastrophic was on his way up the mountain to become a disciple.

After the man went up the mountain, he told himself his name. His surname was Jiang, his name was Shang, and his given name was Ziya. He was thirty-two years old at the time. He came to Kunlun to seek immortality because he longed to become an immortal and achieve immortality.

'Yuanshi' believed that this person had no destiny to live forever, but he was destined to have great fortune and enjoy great wealth in forty years. This made him sure that this person was the Ying Jie Feng.

Man of God.

If it had been anyone else, someone with no luck and mediocre qualifications would have been kicked off the mountain immediately.

But just because this 'Jiang Ziya' was the one who deserved the calamity, 'Yuanshi Tianzun' made an exception this time and accepted him as a disciple and stayed on the mountain, making him carry water and water pine trees, plant peaches and make fire, and fan the furnace to make elixirs. In the blink of an eye,

That is thirty-eight years.

Originally, 'Yuanshi Tianzun' had already calculated that 'Jiang Ziya' would come out of the mountain in the ninth year of King Zhou, which was forty years after he went to the mountain to practice Taoism. Now it seems that there is still one year and a few months left. According to previous calculations, it has not really happened yet.

When it’s time to leave the mountain.

However, now that the astronomical phenomena have changed twice in a row, the Emperor Star, which was supposed to be gradually dimming, actually became bright again.

In this way, 'Yuanshi Tianzun' is also a little unsure. If 'Jiang Ziya' is allowed to wait until more than a year before going down the mountain according to the original plan, what if the sky has changed drastically by then?

If that's the case, Chan Sect's plan for the Great Tribulation of the Gods will be one step behind.

But if 'Jiang Ziya' is asked to go down the mountain to assist Xiqi now, but it is inconsistent with the original calculation, 'Yuan Shi', even though he is a great saint, will be in a dilemma for a while.

Suddenly, Yuan Shi's heart moved. Since this 'Jiang Ziya' is the one who deserves to be crowned a god, he might as well leave this matter to him to make his own decision. When the time comes, whether to leave or stay is all God's will. All he has to do is follow the will of Heaven.

Just start the layout.

The more he thought about this idea, the more he relied on it. Yuanshi Tianzun immediately asked the boy Baihe next to him to call Jiang Ziya.

Speaking of "Jiang Ziya", he went up the mountain at the age of thirty-two. Now, more than thirty-eight years have passed, and he has reached the age of seventy. In addition to breathing in and out of breath every day, what he does on Kunlun Mountain is still carrying water, watering pine trees, and planting peaches.

Light the fire and stir up the work of refining elixirs.

Seeing the senior brothers who worked together in the past, one by one, they have grown from boys to accomplished cultivators, flying in the clouds and mist, looking ageless and carefree, "Jiang Ziya" felt envious.

When I look at myself, I have gone through the same practice, and my hair and beard have turned white. Except for my body and bones, which are still strong, my appearance is no different from that of an old man.

Sometimes when I think about this, even though Jiang Ziya has a strong heart, he can't help but feel a little discouraged. But when he sees his former classmates rejuvenating, becoming land gods, or becoming heavenly gods, he grits his teeth and perseveres, believing that one day he will be able to do so.

Reborn and stepped into the gate of immortality.

On this day, 'Jiang Ziya' was filling thirty-six jars of water, gathering the number of Tiangang, and went to the back mountain to cut seventy-two bundles of firewood, gathering the number of Tiangang and Earthly Evils. When he was chopping firewood,

Suddenly, he saw the "White Crane Boy" coming on a cloud, passing on the sage's oral instructions, telling him to go to Yuxu Palace immediately to pay homage to the sage.

After the 'White Crane Boy' conveyed the order, he returned in the clouds. 'Jiang Ziya' quickly shouted with an embarrassed look on his face: "Master nephew, stay here!"

"Uncle Master, if you don't leave quickly, why else can you call me?"

The white crane boy held down the cloud head and floated in the air. He turned around and looked at the uncle in surprise. He said that if the saint hadn't asked him to call this person today, he would not have known that there was such an old uncle in Yuxu Palace.

.

'Jiang Ziya' looked at the clouds at the feet of the White Crane boy with envy, swallowed his saliva, and explained:

"Master Nephew, although this place is not out of Kunlun, it is still more than five hundred miles away from Yuxu Palace. If Master Master, I use the art of armor and horse to rush back, I am afraid I will have to make the teacher wait for two hours...

..."

He was too embarrassed to ask the other party to take him for a ride. He only said: "I'm afraid that the teacher will be impatient!"

‘White Crane Boy’ looked surprised: “Doesn’t Master Master know how to soar into the clouds and ride on the mist?”

'Jiang Ziya' shook his head and said to himself, "You are deliberately trying to amuse the old man. That is a spell that can only be used after you have mastered the true magic power. I'm in the Qi training stage, and I'm going to give your grandma a leg up."

'White Crane Boy' asked again: "You should have mastered the art of climbing on clouds, right?"

‘Old Jiang’ continued to shake his head, wondering why he didn’t do any fertilizing work today, otherwise he would have thrown excrement now. This stinky and shameless boy showing off his wealth would be disgusting to death.

Bai Hetong's face looked a little disgusted, and his tone became scornful: "Master uncle can't even do this? Then he should know the land flying technique, right?"

‘Jiang Ziya’ laughed at himself: “At my age, I can no longer fly on land, but I can barely crawl on land!”

The boy Bai He seemed to hear the dissatisfaction in Jiang Ziya's tone, and frowned:

"I'm talking to you nicely, why are you so unreasonable!"

But he didn't even bother to call him uncle.

'Jiang Ziya' also knew that he could not afford to offend these accomplished boys. If he made a fuss, the other party would tear his face and beat him half to death. He was afraid that there would be no way to deal with him, so he immediately complained:

"I misunderstood. What the old man said is true. If you bumped into my nephew, I will apologize to you!"

As soon as he spoke, he bowed his head to the ground.

Seeing him like this, the boy's face brightened slightly and he waved his hand: "Forget it, let me ask you, if you don't know how to fly on land, how about shrinking the ground into an inch?"

Lao Jiang cursed in his heart, his face expressionless, and he continued to shake his head.

The 'boy' looked at the old senior brother with disdain, and finally had no choice but to pull him up, lead him away on a cloud, and said:

"Fortunately, Uncle Master, you can breathe without falling and have become lighter. Otherwise, if you were to be mortal, I wouldn't be able to take you..."

For a moment, 'Jiang Ziya' almost touched the hatchet on his waist. You can lead me to sharpen it for so long, sincerely watching the old man's joke, right?

But seeing that the other person could fly into the sky with him at such a young age really made 'Jiang Ziya' feel like crying again.

'Jiang Ziya' was led by a white crane and a boy, soaring in the clouds and mist, soaring in the sky. This was the first time for him to overlook the infinite scenery of Kunlun Holy Land from the sky. He felt that his thirty-eight years of hard work and breathing had been in vain.

It is a fairy style.

Thinking about the brothers and sisters who worked together in the past and taught together, they are now practicing and practicing, and they are still in the prime of their youth, but I am afraid that my old body does not have many years left.

Thinking of this, 'Jiang Ziya' couldn't help but feel mist in front of his eyes and feel sad, but in his heart, he longed for immortality even more.

Soaring in the clouds and riding in the mist, the speed was so fast that Lao Jiang was sighing with emotion when the 'White Crane Boy' had already pressed down the clouds outside the Yuqing Palace and led him towards the main hall.

Entering the hall, he saw Yuanshi Tianzun sitting cross-legged on the cloud platform. Jiang Ziya quickly stepped forward and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, respectfully saying:

"Disciple Jiang Shang, please say hello to the teacher!"

‘Yuanshi Tianzun’ opened his eyes, glanced at the apprentice who was older than himself under the cloud platform, and asked:

"How many years have you been practicing Taoism in Kunlun?"

‘Old Jiang’ replied respectfully:

"This disciple went up the mountain at the age of thirty-two, and now he has wasted seventy years. It has been thirty-eight years since he went up the mountain!"

‘Yuanshi Tianzun’ asked again: “What kind of cultivation level are you now?”

Lao Jiang felt bitter in his heart. You are a saint and you can't see my cultivation. But in front of the saint, you didn't dare to have the slightest resentment in your heart and told you truthfully:

"This disciple is still practicing Qi every day!"

From the time he went up the mountain to practice Qi, and he is still practicing Qi now, 'Old Jiang' feels like his skin is getting hot when he thinks about it. After decades of hard training, he has not made any progress at all.

'Yuanshi Tianzun' is a bit disgusted. It seems that all of his disciples are geniuses in cultivation. If there is a stupid disciple, I am afraid that even if I search all over the entire teaching, I am afraid that the person in front of me is the only one.

He was too lazy to say more and went straight to the point:

"When you went up the mountain, my master saw that you were born with a weak life and it was difficult to achieve immortality. Now that your energy to become a Tang Dynasty has been exhausted and Xiqi is about to rise, you will work for my master and go down the mountain to perform the work of becoming a god and support the Ming Lord.

, when the time comes, you will become a general, worship the prime minister, and enjoy the wealth and honor of the world. It will not be in vain for your thirty-eight years of hard work!"

Jiang Ziya's face turned dark. He had noticed it a long time ago. Didn't you tell me earlier? I've been a handyman for thirty-eight years. Is it easy for me? If you drive me down the mountain now, is it because you dislike me and can't do my job or something?

Besides, what I want is eternal life. If I want to pursue the title of general and prime minister, then why should I go to the mountains and practice Taoism?

He immediately begged:

"I sincerely want to become a monk and have endured many years of hard work. I hope that the teacher will show mercy. I am willing to practice hard in the mountains and dare not be greedy for any wealth in the world!"

Yuan Shi originally wanted to clarify the cause and effect, so that Jiang Ziya could choose whether to leave the mountain more than a year in advance, but before he could say anything, he heard the other party saying that he did not want to be rich in the world, blocking everything he wanted to say, and he suddenly became unhappy.

How could the saint's wishes be violated? He simply gave up on letting the other party choose the time to go down the mountain, and immediately said coldly:

"This is your destiny, why don't you disobey it!"

Seeing the teacher's anger, an 'Antarctic Immortal' on the side quickly stepped forward and advised Jiang Shang: "Ziya, this opportunity is rare, so don't miss it!"

'Jiang Ziya' raised his head and smiled bitterly: "Senior brother, how about we switch with each other when we have such a good opportunity?"

'Antarctic Immortal' almost spit out the word 'go away'. A well-seasoned immortal should not go to the human world to live, grow old, get sick and die. You are sick, right?

Fortunately, he stopped in time, so he didn't spit any dirty words out of his mouth and maintained his senior brother's demeanor.

‘Antarctic’ calmed down and continued to persuade:

"Teacher just made it clear to you that you only have a few days to go down the mountain, so you can't escape. Besides, when you succeed, you will have a day to go up the mountain!"
To be continued...
