Chapter 489: Three Immortals at the End of the Han Dynasty

At the New Year's Day banquet, the official offices once again discussed the rewards for meritorious deeds and looked forward to the plans for the new year.

There are many things to say in the three years of the Chu calendar, from the support of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Household for major projects, to the scientific investigation of the relics of Confucius by the Ministry of Rites, the re-exposition and interpretation of the classics, to the tireless rectification of the officials and the criminal department, the trial of law popularization, and the self-defense counterattack against Yizhou planned by the Privy Council, all of which are worthy of special mention.

Needless to say, although the Ministry of Industry only provides a doctor who coordinates the overall situation in specific projects, everyone understands that the plan to have a real gas ship and a real gas train is also the credit of the Ministry of Industry.

And looking forward to the four years of Chu Li...... What attracts everyone's attention the most is the triennial imperial examination, in the fourth year of the Chu calendar, it has come to the time to hold the second session!

Looking back at the scene of the first imperial examination, it is as if it was raised a month ago.

And in the fourth year of the Chu calendar, there will also be a pre-heating "study examination" mechanism, and it is expected that in the fifth year of the Chu calendar, all parts of the Chu country can open the examination.

In fact, this year, government-run universities around the country have begun to recruit students, but mainly on "recommendation", after the establishment of the academic examination system, universities will begin to recruit "academic examination" passers from the private sector!

Next year's Ministry of Rites is also destined to be a busy and focused year.

At the New Year's Day banquet, Bai Tu performed vigorously...... Ah no, it is to praise the rigorous attitude of the Ministry of Rites to the source of Confucianism, to encourage the emerging "Wang Xue", and also to the upcoming second imperial examination, the academic examination to set the point test, and to make efforts.

After three rounds of drinking, Bai Tu specially called Ji to his side - although Yu Ji thought he was a Taoist priest, his position in the Chu State was more inclined to the Ministry of Industry, so everyone only thought that Bai Tu had something to explain about the Ministry of Industry.

Yu Ji was very rigid, but he was also very polite and sat on the side, obviously a chair, but he just sat on the side.

For Yu Ji, who has contributed a lot to the Ministry of Industry, Bai Tu is not ready to directly force him to say anything - just like if people know the location of a treasure, do they have to tell the imperial court?

Bai Tu felt that he should hint at him vaguely first, let him know what he wanted, but not force him to say it.

"Daoist Yu, look at this plate of fried yellow croaker, do you want the yellow scarf worn by the yellow turban thief?" Bai Tu asked vaguely and naturally.

Yu Ji: ......

"Look at this plate of soybeans again, do you think [Doudou] don't want to spread beans when he became a soldier?" White Diagram continues to hint.

"Ahem, King...... Have you also heard about Huang Tianji? Yu Ji accepted Bai Tu's hint and said very actively.

"Ahh It turned out that Daoist Yu was thinking about my report, and I was worried that if I said something too explicit, Daoist would be under pressure. Bai Tu hurriedly said.

Yu Ji: ???

It turns out that what was just now not considered "explicit"?

Holding back the desire to complain, Yu Ji sighed, looked at Bai Tu carefully and said, "That's right, in fact, the reason why Poor Dao was in Jiangdong before he joined the king was also for Huang Tianji......"

"I see, before the Dao Chang met the Ming Lord, it was for Huang Tianji to come to Jiangdong." The white map corrected slightly.

Yu Ji: ......

"The Taoist doesn't look like a person with great ambition in the current situation of the government, why is he also obsessed with Huang Tianji?" Bai Tu then asked.

"This matter has nothing to do with ambition, Poor Dao didn't want to do the same as Zhang Jiao's, but because of Huang Tianji's appearance, it is also a debt owed by Poor Dao!" Yu Ji said with some emotion and sadness.

White Picture: ???

This time, it was Bai Tu's turn to be shocked-it was that there was a third way of birth besides human transformation and dragon vein transformation...... Sexual reproduction?

Yu Ji seemed to sense Bai Tu's thoughts, and after shaking the corners of his mouth, he said, "More precisely, it is Zhang Jiao's debt ......."

White Picture: !!

You and Zhang Jiao......

Yu Ji seemed to fall into memory, and did not pay attention to anyone, but continued to mutter: "Fifty years ago, Poor Dao and Zhang Jiao worshiped under Master Nanhua together...... Shizun is the successor of "Heavenly Book Volume VIII: Worship God" after Zhuang Gong, and he has all the mysteries.

The three of them do not have this kind of fate and qualifications, and they cannot inherit the Book of Heaven, but the master will comprehend the Book of Heaven and divide it into three volumes of the Book of Debut, for heaven, earth, and people, the Heavenly Scroll was taught to Senior Brother Zuo Ci who started before Poor Dao and Zhang Jiao, and the Earth Scroll was passed on to Poor Dao, and the Human Scroll was passed on to Zhang Jiao......"

With Yu Ji's story, Bai Tu also remembered what he said to himself many years ago when he first heard Lu Su talk about the Book of Heaven - Zhang Jiao suspected that he had part of the ability of "Volume 8: Worship God", but the inheritance was likely to be passive, so he finally died violently because of his deification of himself.

Now it seems that Zhang Jiao does not have the Book of Heaven, but the inheritance of the holder of the Book of Heaven - the Book of Heaven can only choose its own master, and the holder cannot interfere with its inheritance, unless it is like "Lu Su found Lu Xun" and "Xi Zhi found Guo Jia", that is, when there is already a master, there are other suitable holders, and then it can be artificially inherited.

As for people like Yu Ji, Zuo Ci, and Zhang Jiao, those who have not been selected by the Book of Heaven can only learn the "second-hand Book of Heaven" written by the holder of the Book of Heaven.

Each holder of the Book of Heaven has a different content that can be comprehended from the Book of Heaven, and the second-hand Book of Heaven is only the part that the holder has comprehended.

Nanhua was able to write three volumes, and after listening to Yu Ji's meaning, he still analyzed the Book of Heaven from three perspectives, and his attainments were not profound......

The Book of Heaven is like a polyhedron, and those who are recognized by it can see one side, while those who are not recognized cannot see anything.

And those who see it, if they can really understand this side, they can "draw" the content of their own understanding for future generations to learn, Nanhua ...... I have seen and understood at least three sides!

"Thirty years ago, the master traveled far away, and when he left, he handed each of us a volume of the Nanhua Sutra, and told us that only one volume of our own study and understanding is considered to be its eight-point inheritance, and we must not be greedy for more, and we must not share the enlightenment......" Yu Ji said this, his tone became more and more embarrassed.

Bai Tu also nodded when he heard this--it's all about this, needless to say...... Someone of you must have stolen the other brothers!

"Poor Dao and Zhang Jiao were undecided at that time, especially Zhang Jiao...... The ghost has the most ideas, and he is also competitive, and he took the initiative to take out his own human scroll, wanting to share it with Poor Dao and Senior Brother Zuo Ci.

When Poor Dao was hesitating, Senior Brother Zuo Ci directly pulled out the dagger he was carrying, stabbed one of his eyes, and said that it was his own afterglow and saw the Taoist book handed out by Zhang Jiao.

At that time, he was frightened by Poor Dao and Zhang Jiao, and wanted to stop the serum wound for his senior brother, but when he saw his senior brother wipe his bad eye, there was no bloodstain, and there was even an extra pair of eye patches...... Poor Dao was only a shallow learner at that time, and he didn't know if the senior brother was a trick or really blind, but then I heard that some of the rumors of the senior brother's appearance were all covered with a single eye.

Although the senior brother didn't say much, Zhang Jiao didn't dare to mention the matter of sharing the Taoist book again, and then ...... The senior brother and we went down the mountain separately, and because Poor Dao and Zhang Jiao were fellow villagers, they traveled to the folk together and comprehended their respective Taoist books.

Zhang Jiao's human scroll is 'please God to receive immortals', in the twenty years of apprenticeship before, in fact, our brothers and sisters have also learned similarly, but ...... It's not so much an invitation to God, but an autosuggestion, but what is recorded in the human scroll, which should be more profound. ”

Bai Tu heard Yu Ji talk about the content of the human scroll, and still guessed the tone, and knew that it was not him who finally disobeyed Nanhua's words.

"The scroll of the poor road focuses on 'divine understanding', that is, understanding the nature of a certain thing, and the 'drawing symbols' and 'alchemy' of the poor road are essentially the abilities that extend from this."

As everyone knows, Yu Ji's "drawing symbols" and "alchemy" are "separation extractors" and "mixing and reaction simulators".

"What is the ability of the Heavenly Scroll of Zuo Ci Dao Chief?" Bai Tu remembered that according to the legends and romances of the wild history, Zuo Ci was also related to Cao Cao's death, so he specially asked.

"Senior Brother Zuo Ci's Heavenly Scroll...... We don't know, but since he was blind in front of us, whenever Poor Dao wants to disobey his master's words again, he always thinks of the scene of his senior brother's self-destruction, and feels that his eyes are also faintly painful.

Even...... Sometimes I feel that my brother's eyes coincide with the eyes of the poor road, and he is looking at us for the master, so I have never offended again. Poor Dao once mentioned it to Zhang Jiao, and he also said that he felt this way, but it was just ...... Poor Dao remembered that Senior Brother Zuo Ci stabbed his left eye, but he remembered that it was his right eye!

This ability to make psychological hints to other people is also the basis that all three of us have learned, but Poor Dao and Zhang Jiao are not as proficient as Senior Brother Zuo Ci, and I think the content of the Heavenly Scroll should also be related to this. Yu Ji speculated.

When Yu Ji said this, he didn't care about the rules that cultivators can drink alcohol and not drink too much, and even went against the usual stereotypical image of etiquette in front of Bai Tu, and still drank another glass even when he was already blushing.

"Later, Zhang Jiao got married." Yu Ji said abruptly.

Zhang Jiao got married, what are you doing with this expression? Bai Tu looked at Yu Ji's eyes, a little subtle......

"I like his wife too, but they're married."

White Picture: ......

is worthy of being a cultivator, Yu Ji said very directly, if it weren't for the look of nostalgia in his expression, he really thought he had looked down on it...... And unconsciously did not use the "poor road" to call himself.

"And then? I mean the Yellow Turban Thing. Bai Tu asked urgently, and said that he was not a gossip.

"Zhang Jiao is different from Poor Dao, and he is also different from Senior Brother Zuo Ci. Seeing the decay of the Han family at that time, it has affected the common people, seeing that the sick have no medical treatment, the old and the young have nothing to support, seeing the fresh clothes and angry horses of the high-ranking families, and seeing the officials of the scholar clan in the fish and meat township......

Although when the poor road sees it, it will guide people to goodness and use talisman water to save people, but if you can't see it, you don't want to. And when Zhang Jiao saw it, he would put himself in his shoes and feel angry. ”

"What about Zuo Ci?" Bai Tu asked curiously.

"Senior brother won't go to see it."
