Jiang Qi slowly recounted his experience.

Since receiving the news that his mother had passed away and his father was unwell, Jiang Qi bid farewell to his master and all the brothers and sisters, left Beibi Mountain, and returned to his hometown of Handan, Zhao State.

At that time, the state of Zhao was a feudal state of the Western Han Dynasty, and its capital was in Handan.

The city of Handan originated from Yin Shang. During the hundreds of years when the Shang Dynasty moved its capital to Yin, Handan was the land of Qifu. During the Warring States Period, Handan was the capital of Zhao for 158 years and was the political, economic and cultural center of northern China. At that time, Handan City was known as "the rich crown of the sea, the famous capital of the world", in addition to the national capital Chang'an, and Luoyang, Linzi, Chengdu, Wan enjoyed the five major metropolises.

At that time, the king of Zhao was Liu Pengzu, the king of Zhao Jingsu, the eighth son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, born to Mrs. Jia, the half-brother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in the second year of Emperor Jing, in 155 BC as the king of Zhao, and had been operating in this fief for more than 50 years.

Handan is relatively rich in mineral resources, developed smelting technology, relatively prosperous commerce, and Liu Pengzu, the king of Zhao, is good at management, so Handan City has been the second largest city after the capital Chang'an City at that time, and it is extremely prosperous.

Jiang Qi's youngest sister is named Wan'er, who has entered the palace of King Zhao since she was a child, because she is good at singing, dancing and playing the piano, she was favored by Liu Dan, the crown prince of Zhao, and was selected as the prince's concubine.

Zhao Wang Liu Pengzu is insidious and vicious, for the people sent by the court always try their best to drive them away, for his subordinates are even worse, as long as there is a little incompetence, he will be punished heavily, so he needs to be cautious when doing things under him, pay attention everywhere, if he is not careful, he will be taken off, and his private life is absurd and shameless, he is still an old pervert over half a hundred years old, and he is superstitious about ghosts and gods, and he has raised a large group of monks and wizards.

Liu Dan is a typical playboy, spending all day drinking, lustful dogs and horses, and raising a large group of idle gangsters, bullying men and women all day long, causing the people to complain.

Jiang Qi has been in Zhao Wangfu for a few years, and with the advantage of being favored by his little sister and being able to help Liu Pengzu bring benefits, he can still gain a firm foothold. However, there is a hidden danger that there is a group of monks in Zhao Wangfu, who often pretend to be ghosts in front of Liu Pengzu, cheating on food and drink, Liu Pengzu also wants to prolong his life and enjoy this happy time, so he trusts these guys very much.

After all, Jiang Qi had studied in Beibi Mountain, although he liked to learn Qihuang Technique, but he was still clear about the cats in it, but he was relatively deep in the city government and didn't want to expose them easily. The problem is that these people are always on guard against him, always looking for an opportunity to get rid of him.

According to his own account, he once worshipped Mao Ying, a native of Xianyang, and cultivated a body of magic and alchemy, but this person's heart is not right, and he uses some crooked things to fool King Zhao's father and son.

Speaking of this, Jiang Qi paused, drank a few sips of water, and then continued to narrate: "Senior sister, Mao Ying, this old thing has a holiday with our master, in the early years, our two factions used to discuss the Tao on the north peak of Huashan, and their Mao Jun faction could not talk about our northern faction, so the two sides took Liangzi and listened to Senior Brother Lu say that they often oppose us. ”

"Yes, the people of their faction have always despised us and have always been against us, and whenever we meet them, they call them thieves, what a bunch of thieves."

"Guan Sandu's kid is really a thief, he often brags about how powerful Mao Ying is, and I don't know where he hears, he has a clear eye, saying that Mao Ying abandoned his family in his early years to practice in Beiyue Heng Mountain, familiar with "Lao Tzu" and "Book of Changes", tried to eat Atractylodes as bait, and deliberately became an immortal; He also said that later, Taixuan Yunu gave him a dream, and asked him to worship Wang Jun of Xicheng as a teacher and learn the method of convincing qi, after 20 years of teaching, Wang Jun took Mao Ying to see the Queen Mother of the West, and the mother of the King of the West told him about "Taixiao Erjing Hidden Book" and "Yin and Yang Erjing Nei Zhenfu", and then returned to Hengshan and continued to practice in a valley in the north of the mountain; When he went home in his later years, his father saw that his son had been missing for so many years and was now returning, he couldn't help but be furious, reprimanded him for not fulfilling his filial piety, and wanted to raise a cane to beat him, but Mao Ying said that he now has a talisman to protect himself, he is already a god, and there are heavenly soldiers to protect him, if my father beats me, it will aggravate the unfilial piety, his father does not believe it, and thinks that his son is nervous, and he will beat him with a cane, but when he sees that the crutches suddenly crack into dozens of knots, the fragments are splashed in all directions, and the beams and walls are full of holes, and the father does not dare to hit him when he sees this scene. ”

"Haha, it seems that this Wanfang bragging skill is really great."

Aunt Zhao and the others all laughed after hearing this.

"This kid not only brags, but also has more powerful sycophant skills, and fooled Liu Peng's grandfather and son around him, originally he fooled him, I did mine, everyone's well water does not violate the river water, and then I don't know where he learned that I learned from the master in Beibi Mountain, so he began to deal with me."

Hearing this, Aunt Zhao understood why Jiang Qi was hunted down, so she asked, "Senior brother, you were plotted by him to be hunted down and killed by King Zhao." ”

Jiang Qi nodded and continued: "Guan Sandu, this thief, in order to please Liu Peng's grandfather and son, often took some Zhiyang Pill for them to take, and also taught the art of Huang Chi to their father and son; The more ridiculous thing is still to come, Liu Dan, this kid thought that he had obtained the third degree of room surgery, so he went outside with the villains in the market to look for flowers and willows, and got sick, and the thing was already festering; Guan Sandu that the thief said that it could be cured, but it was necessary to use the virgin's first moon clothes to burn into ashes and grind them into the end to coat them, and the little sister's personal maid Xi'er happened to come to the first menstrual affair, so Liu Dan took her moon clothes to burn the ashes, so angry that the little sister ran to complain to me, and watched the little sister get angry, so he went out to expose his lame spell, but it made Liu Dan have more opinions about me. ”

Hearing this, Aunt Zhao also shook her head helplessly and said: "Guan Sandu's mental skills are not correct, and it is not shallow to harm people, Master and Master often teach us to practice Taoism, in order to help the common people in the world eliminate disasters and avoid disasters, and exorcise ghosts and cure diseases." ”

"He also said in front of Liu Pengzu that the horses I had last time were not good, they were a group of bad horses, and that I was full of private money, and that my horse skills were passed down by the master, and I never missed; So I wanted to find Liu Pengzu to explain clearly, but I met Liu Dan fooling around with his half-sister and Liu Pengzu's concubine, the scene was really unsightly, which made Liu Dan anxious, so he moved to kill, but fortunately, my little sister learned the news in advance and informed me to run first overnight, otherwise my life would not be guaranteed. ”

"Senior brother, where do you want to take refuge, and why are you in trouble here?"

"I wanted to run to Yan Kingdom to find Senior Brother Lu, but Liu Dan kept sending people to follow and kill me, until the junction between Xindu and the river, where there was a dense forest, they were ambushed there, fortunately, Xiaobai was clever enough to get out, who knew that as soon as he rushed out of the dense forest, Xiaobai fell into their stumbling block, and my whole person was thrown down, rolled down the mountain, and was hit by their poisonous needle during the run, but fortunately, I was rescued by my sister by mistake."

After listening to Jiang Qi's story, Aunt Zhao was very sympathetic to Jiang Qi, so she said: "I saw you running into the cave, but you were able to get out of the Qimen Array and find the direction to hide, so I knew that you were the same person, so I came to the rescue, but who knew that it was my senior brother who was rescued." ”

Jiang Qi also laughed after hearing this, and Zhao Gu continued to ask: "I don't know that Senior Brother Lu is in Yan Kingdom, and there has been no news of him, he was the first to go down the mountain, and I haven't seen him for seven or eight years. ”

"Yes, he is now a staff member of King Yan, we have always been in contact, and we often pass by here, but I didn't know that you lived here."

Jiang Qi and Zhao Gu have been talking about their experiences after parting, and before they know it, it is late at night.

Gongsun Yu and Yu'er have been listening quietly beside them, especially Gongsun Yu, listening to it very fascinated, he was originally a modern person through the past, attached to the ancient people, although now basically the behavior of the ancient people, but also adapted to the living habits of the ancient people, but the mind still retains the memory and thinking of modern people. Listening to their story, he probably knew that this was a fight between two factions of Taoists, Mao Ying was the boss of the three Mao Zhenjun, that is, the ancestor of the later Maoshan faction, and Jiang Qi Zhao Gu and their master was a fool, that was the descendant of Zhang Liang, and it should be Zhang Daoling of the Heavenly Master Sect in a few generations.

Oh my God, it turned out to be the predecessor of the Taoist Maoshan School and the Heavenly Master School.
