Today is the weekend, today I picked up the child from the kindergarten and went home, and he told his mother that he was the head of the kindergarten class. I am so happy to hear it www.biquge.info I am even happier than I have bought Kao shares for ten consecutive days. Think about Lao Yu at that time, there was no kindergarten, when he was in elementary school, Lao Yu's father was the principal of the primary school, and Lao Yu failed to rely on the relationship between his father and the principal to be a class leader. I didn't expect this kid to go to kindergarten and be a class leader, which really made Lao Yu envious and jealous. Haha, I hope that the boy can be a squad leader when he is a child, and when he grows up, he can be a leader, and he can benefit the masses of the people. A flood of power poured out of his body, offering a new life to everyone.
Zhang Sanjun glanced at Huang Santai tremblingly and told the story of what happened.
After graduating from college, he did not look for a job and helped his father run an antique shop. One day there was a blonde and blue-eyed girl in the store, dressed up in a fancy way, looking very beautiful, very sexy, and full of youthful energy.
This foreign girl came to the antique shop, looked east, looked west, spoke a broken Chinese, and asked Zhang Sanjun about the price and origin of some antiques.
Zhang Sanjun is very attracted to this beautiful foreign girl, fully embodies the hospitality of the Chinese in front of her, and the sales of this sexy foreign girl can be called a special service. The authenticity of antiques and how to identify them are explained in detail for her. Even some high-quality imitations in the store will definitely be sold at a high price if they are replaced by others, but for this foreign girl, they are clearly told that they are fakes.
This foreign girl was very grateful and bought a small pendant, and before leaving, Zhang Sanjun plucked up the courage and asked her for contact information.
That night, Zhang Sanjun called this foreign girl and invited her to dinner, and learned that she was an American girl named Les, who had traveled to China, and after playing in the Yellow Crane Tower, she went to the antique street at the foot of the ancient building to Taobao. She also said that she is very interested in Chinese Taoist culture and hopes to find some Taoist cultural relics.
Zhang Sanjun wanted to soak in this foreign girl, and on impulse, he told him that he had a book of Tao Te Ching that had been passed down from generation to generation.
It turned out that Zhang Sanjun was a descendant of Zhang Juzheng, the famous minister of the Ming Dynasty of China.
When Zhang Juzheng was in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, his boss Emperor Jiajing advocated Taoism, wanted to cultivate Taoism and become an immortal, ignored political affairs, and was controlled by the traitor Yan Song. At that time, Zhang Juzheng was unsuccessful in officialdom, and once returned to his ancestral hometown of Jiangling, Hubei, and traveled all day long, looking for immortals and visiting the Tao.
One day into the mountain to visit the road, to find a mountain, towering quite immortal. A view in the mountains, the green trees are verdant, and the incense is vigorous. Listening to the pilgrims say that there are true immortals in the temple, and when the nearby villagers encounter incurable diseases, the real people in the temple can be cured by using immortal arts.
Zhang Juzheng then entered the temple to worship, during which there was a real person to greet him, his face was young, but he was fairy, and he took a closer look, and it was an old acquaintance. It turned out that this real person had a chance to get acquainted with Zhang Juzheng when he was young. The two sat on the ground, Zhang Juzheng said that he advocated Taoism, wanted to learn the immortal art of immortality, and asked a real person to teach some immortal secrets to practice. The real person smiled at him, saying that Zhang Juzheng had not yet reached the end of his fate, and this time he came to seek the art of cultivating immortals, not to cultivate immortals sincerely, but to obtain the reuse of Emperor Jiajing, who advocated Taoism, by studying Taoist classics. Zhang Juzheng was very ashamed to be told about the central matter, and he was embarrassed to stay any longer. When saying goodbye, the real person said that Zhang Juzheng had the ambition of the first assistant, and he was destined to see him again today, so he could not let him return empty-handed, so he gave him a volume of the Tao Te Ching. Tell him to kowtow once a day on the Tao Te Ching silk scroll, when he is on the throne and the ministers, when he has kowtowed 10,000 times, you can hold this immortal treasure book to retreat bravely, looking for one of the lines of immortal fate.
Zhang Juzheng's life, after obtaining this Tao Te Ching, took a dramatic turn. Since then, his career has been like a hanging, all the way up.
When he returned to the capital, he was recommended by his mentor Xu Jie as the secretary of the Guozijian industry, which is equivalent to the current vice president of the Central Party School. Later, he took charge of the Hanlin Academy, and served as a master for the descendants of the royal family, and then became the first assistant, ranking first among the hundred officials. After he became the first assistant to the office, he carried out reforms, so that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the empty treasury revenue doubled. His power can cover the sky with one hand for a while, and even the Wanli Emperor is afraid of three points. For example, Emperor Wanli had the habit of reading and lecturing at night, and Zhang Juzheng said that reading at night wasted candles, which was not conducive to saving, so the emperor changed the time for reading and lecturing to the morning.
In the end of Zhang Juzheng's life, he was a very good minister until his death. But he forgot the instructions of the immortal chief who gave him the Tao Te Ching at that time, and he did not retreat bravely when he was in power. When his father died of old age, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, he had to return to his home for mourning. But he did not return to his hometown under the pretext that the emperor was young and needed assistance.
Tragedy came only after his death, and after his death, he was immediately liquidated. On the fifth day after his death, he installed his protΓ©gΓ©s in the officialdom, or was dismissed from office, or beheaded and abandoned the city. Zhang's family was also raided, and his descendants either starved to death or were exiled.
There is a quite flexible descendant, when Zhang Juzheng was seriously ill in front of him, he took the Tao Te Ching silk scroll that he relied on to make his fortune, and returned to his ancestral home in Hubei to visit the immortal chief, wanting to ask for a miracle medicine to prolong Zhang Juzheng's life, and he escaped by luck. The descendants who took away the Tao Te Ching did not find the immortal chief of the day, and after the Zhang family was killed, they regarded this silk Tao Te Ching as a family heirloom and passed it down from generation to generation. The descendants of the Zhang family are all enshrined as treasures. When each generation is passed on, it is said that this Tao Te Ching is a treasure given by the immortals to the ancestors, and when the immortals give the book, they say that after five hundred years, there will be saints.
Les listened to Zhang Sanjun's allusions to his family's Taoist Bible, and became interested and wanted to see the style of this Taoist classic. However, Zhang Sanjun was not bold enough to dare to steal the family heirloom, so Lace did not get her wish.
In order to get this Taoist antique, Les actually stayed in Jiangcheng, and Zhang Sanjun was false and wronged, pretending to be in love to get treasures. After a few months, it still didn't work out. Zhang Sanjun also coveted the sexy and seductive body of this foreign girl, and always wanted to have sex with her, but he didn't succeed. The two sides are at a stalemate.
One day, Lacey took out a cigarette, handed it to Zhang Sanjun, and lit a fire for him. After Zhang Sanjun smoked this cigarette, he became addicted to smoking, developed a serious dependence on this cigarette, and finally fell deeper and deeper. If you don't smoke for a day, you will die of pain until you know that you are addicted to drugs. Finally, in a confrontation with drug addiction, he was defeated, and stole the Taoist Bible that had been passed down in his family for 500 years, handed it to Lace, and exchanged it for drugs. His father learned that the family heirloom treasure was taken away by Xiao Xiao's generation because of drug abuse, and he was angry and sick. After Les got this Taoist treasure, she never returned, and she was never seen again.
Zhang Sanjun told in detail about the fact that he was deceived by the American girl Les, who designed to deceive the heirloom Tao Te Ching. Huang Santai slapped his thigh angrily and scolded: "This little American bitch dares to deceive me Huang Santai's head." She fled to the ends of the earth, and I will also send someone to find her and recover the master's relics. β
Zhang Sanjun saw that his senior brother was angry, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, and bowed his head in remorse.
Liu Quande also persuaded Huang Santai to dissipate his anger, saying that Professor Chen had acquaintances in the United States, so he could help inquire about where Les was first.
Professor Chen Changqing sorted out his thoughts and said, "It is not difficult to recover the treasure. That American girl deceived the Tao Te Ching, if it was for money, after she deceived the Tao Te Ching of the Ming Dynasty, she would definitely auction the cultural relics, as long as we pay close attention to the international cultural relics auction market to see if there is a Tao Te Ching auction, we can intercept it. I'm afraid that this American girl deceived the Tao Te Ching, not for money, but to listen to the mystery of becoming an immortal in this Tao Te Ching, and to understand it herself, then it will be a little difficult to find it back. β
Huang Santai said: "As long as you find this Lace, you can recover the treasure." When I return to the city, I will hire a private investigator to find a way to retrieve the passport records of the Americans who came to Jiangcheng three years ago to see if I can find this bitch. Hmph, if I don't recover the master's relics, I swear not to be a man! β
Professor Chen Changqing said: "If this Tao Te Ching is just an ordinary cultural relic, whether it can be recovered or not, everything can go naturally." Now we have to find out whether this Tao Te Ching has special value, and this value is so great that it must be recovered. β
Huang Santai agreed with Professor Chen's judgment.
Professor Chen asked Zhang Sanjun again: "Bajie, you said before that the ancestors of your Zhang family, every generation, they all said that this Tao Te Ching contains the opportunity to become an immortal. Is there anything special in this Tao Te Ching that hides the cultivation method of becoming an immortal? β
Zhang Sanjun listened to Professor Chen's question and was quite surprised. He didn't expect that Chen Changqing, a great scientist, would also believe in the legends of immortals and the secrets of cultivating immortals. couldn't help but shake his head and said: "This Tao Te Ching, since it was obtained by our ancestor Zhang Jiazheng, has been studied countless times, it is an ordinary Tao Te Ching, and there is no cultivation method to become an immortal at all. In my generation, I have also watched and studied it repeatedly, and it is an ordinary 3,000-word moral mantra, and there is nothing special about it. β
"Then why do every generation of your Zhang family say that the immortal chief who passed down the Tao Te Ching at the beginning said that there is an opportunity to become an immortal?" Professor Chan continued to ask.
Zhang Sanjun replied: "The immortal chief who passed down the Tao Te Ching at the beginning did say this, and it was passed on by word of mouth in every generation of our Zhang family. When the Taoist Master passed on to us the Tao Te Ching of Zhang Jiazheng Ancestor, he said that if one day you are the first assistant in the official position, you can go to him with this Tao Te Ching after showing your ambition of ruling the country and leveling the world, and he will pass on the immortal art of immortality. But the immortals also said that the ancestors of our Zhang family have the appearance of nobles, and there is no appearance of immortals. In the event of a catastrophe, people can take refuge with this Tao Te Ching as a token. If you can't find him, then he must have soared, and the descendants of the Zhang family can live in seclusion to avoid trouble, guard this Tao Te Ching with their hearts, and leave it to the saint who is destined to get it five hundred years later. β
"Since every generation of your Zhang family has studied this Tao Te Ching and has not found the secret of cultivating immortals, why do you all call this Taoist who passed down the Tao Te Ching an immortal?" Professor Chen asked thoughtfully.
"According to the legends of our ancestors, the ancestor of our Zhang family, before he got the Tao Te Ching, saved the life of this immortal. When our ancestor was four years old, he and his friends once chased an injured wild duck until they reached a remote river, and suddenly saw a thunderbolt in the sky, and the sky seemed to have been blown open. Then a bloody man fell from the sky and fell into the river, and the blood stained the river red. The other friends were trembling with fright and hurriedly fled back. Our ancestor was afraid that this man would be choked to death by the water, so he stepped forward and dragged him to the shore. This man was covered in blood, lying by the river and unable to move, our ancestors were afraid that he would starve to death, so they went back and asked the adults to rescue him home, and poured some rice soup into his mouth every day. He knew that it was our ancestor who saved him, so he asked our ancestor, oh, no, at that time, our ancestor was only four years old, or a little ancestor, so he asked our little ancestor if he wanted to become an immortal, and if he wanted to learn the ability to fly like an immortal. Our little ancestor said that he didn't want to be an immortal, and it was very scary to be injured like you. The immortal smiled, and asked our ancestor again, saying what do you want to do? Our little ancestor said he wanted to be a big official. The immortal smiled, and gave our little ancestor a sugar pill and asked him to eat it, saying that if he ate this sugar pill, he could become a big official, and if he didn't want to be a big official in the future, he would go to the mountains to find him. Then he vanished. Later, after our ancestors were admitted to the Jinshi, they were unhappy in the officialdom, and once returned to their hometown to relax, and went into the mountains to visit this immortal. Finally, he found the immortal in a Taoist temple in a mountain, and the immortal passed on his Tao Te Ching. And after our ancestors got the Tao Te Ching, they began to develop all the way. So we all worship that Tao Te Ching as a sacred object, and call that real person an immortal. β
Professor Chen asked, "Do you know what kind of sugar pill that Immortal Elder gave to your ancestor Zhang Juzheng?" β
Zhang Sanjun shook his head, "I don't know, that ancestor only gave our ancestor a sugar pill, and I don't know what it is, according to our ancestor, the sugar pill is delicious, it melts in the mouth, and it is full of strange fragrance, the fragrance is not an ordinary fragrance, after eating it, I feel that the fragrance has been exuding fragrance in my mind." β
"Did the immortals leave the recipe for that sugar pill?" Professor Chan continued to ask.
Zhang Sanjun shook his head, "I didn't hear that the sugar pill has a recipe left." β
Professor Chen continued to ask: "The Tao Te Ching handed down by the immortals was deceived by that American girl, Rice, but you always have a photo, right?" β
Zhang Sanjun nodded, indicating that he had taken pictures. Professor Chen asked him to take out a photo to take a look, and Zhang Sanjun took out his mobile phone, took a complete picture of the Tao Te Ching, and uploaded it to Professor Chen's computer. Professor Chen asked Zhang Sanjun to arrange a dormitory in the experimental base, let him stay in Crab Mountain for drug rehabilitation, and asked Liu Quande to entertain Huang Santai, and he began to study the Tao Te Ching in front of the photo.
