Chapter 660: The Sage
The man looked at us with surprised eyes, as if we didn't know that the saint he was talking about was simply lonely, pointed to the direction of Zhongnan Mountain and said to us, the old man in the mountain is said that before the Qin Dynasty, because of the legend of the Meridian Valley, there was a fairy palace, and people who came to make alchemy abounded.

But if you want to become an immortal, you always have to have a fate, not just a person can fly to become an immortal, many people spend their lives here and get nothing, and finally there are fewer and fewer people who come to Meridian Valley, and as time goes by, rumors about the Meridian Valley Immortal Palace are rarely mentioned.
However, there is still a saint who insists on enlightenment here, and at the end of his twilight years, he has been blessed with immortal fate and enlightenment, and he has written a book that has been passed down as a classic for later generations, and Taoism has carried forward this book as a true scripture, and this saint is respected as the ancestor of Taoism.
"Yes, is there such a saint?" Tian Ji looked dazed.
"A saint who is revered as a Taoist ancestor...... "I thought about it for a long time, and suddenly stared at the man eating barbecue with wide eyes." You, you can't be talking about Lao Tzu, right? ”
"Chaoge, this big brother is very righteous, how can you swear." Tian Ji glared at me.
"I'll just say, you should all know this saint." I was stunned for a moment, crying and laughing and ignoring him, and saw the man nod affirmatively, and then turned his head to look at the field chicken beside him. "Little brother, don't you know Lao Tzu?"
Tian Ji reacted at this time, as dumbfounded as we were, I never thought that coming to Meridian Valley to explore the relics of the ancestors of the Peng family involved Lao Tzu, who was known as a saint.
"What does Lao Tzu have to do with Meridian Valley?" Gong Jue asked.
"It's not Meridian Valley, how many times have I said it, it's the Immortal Palace, it is rumored that Lao Tzu became an immortal in the Immortal Palace, and only after leaving here did he create Taoism." The man replied solemnly.
"This must be a legend, it's too exaggerated, it actually pulled out Lao Tzu, these two things that can't be beaten with eight poles." Tian Ji said.
"Maybe it really matters."
It was Ye Zhiqiu who spoke, she looked surprised and pondered, and it took a long time to tell us that there is a very detailed description of the record of Lao Tzu in the historical materials, but there are two places that are blank.
"Where?" I asked.
"The first one is Lao Tzu's origin and life experience." Ye Zhiqiu said to us in a calm voice.
It is recorded in the literature and history that Lao Tzu was quiet and studious when he was young and intelligent, and after three years of teaching by the teacher, there was nothing to teach, so he recommended Lao Tzu to go to the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, Hojing, and told him that the classics there were like the sea, and the wise men were like clouds, which was the holy land of the world's scholars, and if it entered it, it would become a great tool.
After Lao Tzu entered the Zhou, he learned everything, read everything, and made great progress in three years, and was recommended to enter the storage room.
"The Guardhouse? What kind of place is this, and is it a place dedicated to guarding treasures? Tian Ji interrupted Ye Zhiqiu and asked.
"It's not wrong for you to understand it this way, the book has its own golden house, and the storage room is the place where the classics of the Zhou Dynasty are collected. Xue Xinrou explained to Tian Ji on the side.
"Lao Tzu in the Tibetan room to see the general view of the gradual perfection, the source of etiquette and music, the purpose of morality, less than three years Lao Tzu in the Zhou capital famous, the sound of the sea." Ye Zhiqiu continued. "However, Lao Tzu made an unexpected decision at this time."
"What decision?" Gong Jue asked.
"With Lao Tzu's knowledge and fame at that time, it wouldn't take long to be ranked as the top secretary, but just when Lao Tzu was in full swing, Lao Tzu suddenly left Zhoudu, and no one knew where he went."
"Lao Tzu left the Zhou capital and disappeared, you say, will he really come to Meridian Valley?" I frowned a little in surprise, but judging from Orion's account, the timing coincided.
"It doesn't make sense, Lao Tzu is a person who does learning, and at that time he was famous all over the world, and Shangqing was not appropriate, why did he come to Meridian Valley for no reason?" Tian Ji looked dazed.
"Lao Tzu was well-read in the storage room of the Zhou capital, and suddenly there must have been something going on in it, or rather, Lao Tzu knew something that would make him give up his fame and official position." Ye Zhiqiu said.
"Wait!"
I raised my hand to interrupt Ye Zhiqiu, thought carefully for a long time, and said in surprise, the storage room in Zhou Du Ho Jing belongs to the Son of Heaven Library, and the books in it are not accessible to ordinary people, and in the storage room, in addition to the collection of books, there are also records about the Zhou room.
There must be a document left by King Mu of Zhou, Mu Tianzi went to Kunlun to see the gods, and also made a deal with the gods, and King Mu of Zhou also learned the secret of immortality from the jade pig dragon.
"These things may have been recorded by King Mu of Zhou, and they were hidden in the storage room, and Lao Tzu may have seen these records when he was reading a lot of books, so he ......"
"So what?" The palace lord asked eagerly beside him.
"That's not right, even if Lao Tzu knows the secret of King Zhou Mu, it has nothing to do with Meridian Valley at all, if Lao Tzu left to track down immortality, there are so many places in the world, why only come to Meridian Valley?" I shook my head sadly.
"Since Lao Tzu is reading the book of sages, he should scoff at the theory of immortality and strange powers, and there is no reason for him to give up his knowledge to track down ethereal things?" Ye Zhiqiu was also puzzled.
"Isn't it just a legend, look at what worries you, how can you still take it seriously." The man who ate the barbecue smiled innocently. "Lao Tzu is a saint, and I am a rough person, what does a saint think, I, a rough person, must not know, I see that you are also knowledgeable people, but what this girl said, I don't agree."
"Big brother, did I say something wrong?" Ye Zhiqiu asked sincerely.
"Who doesn't want to live forever, saints are also people, I didn't say that saints can't live forever, Lao Tzu came here to seek a way to become immortals, isn't it also for immortality, what is not easy to understand." Orion smiled and said to Ye Zhiqiu. "Besides, other saints may not believe it, but Lao Tzu should be convinced of immortality."
"Why?" Su Mudu was very curious.
"Lao Tzu's ancestors have lived for hundreds of years, and he must believe that there is a way to live a long life."
……
We looked at each other, and didn't react for a long time, Ye Zhiqiu, who was proficient in literature and history, asked in surprise: "Lao Tzu's origin and life experience have never been recorded in literature and history, you, how do you know that Lao Tzu's ancestors lived for hundreds of years?" ”
"Didn't I also listen to what the old man in the mountains said, just take it as idle talk, don't take it seriously, I'm afraid of your jokes if you say it wrong." The man was full, grabbed a handful of snow and wiped the grease stains from his hands.
"Big brother, listen to what you mean, do you know who Lao Tzu's ancestors are?" Ye Zhiqiu continued to ask.
"The longevity immortal Peng Zu is the ancestor of Lao Tzu." The man blurted out, and looked back and forth at us. "Haven't you heard of this legend?"
We were stunned again, all stunned and stared at Orion, although I believe that any legend has a root, even if it is made up, it is not entirely groundless, but this legend turns Peng Zu into the ancestor of Lao Tzu, which makes us not shocked, but feels too ridiculous.
"Is Peng Zu related to that ship?" Gu Yuanshan suddenly asked beside him.
There was no need to hide it at this time, I nodded slowly, but it was strange to find that Gu Yuanshan's face did not react, and I asked thoughtfully: "Aren't you curious that Lao Tzu's ancestor will suddenly become Peng Zu?" ”
"I've also heard of this legend, and I didn't take it seriously before, but if Peng Zu has something to do with that ship, I'm afraid there is something that can be deduced from this legend." Gu Yuanshan's voice was steady.
"Can you still scrutinize? How to scrutinize this, Peng Zu's surname is Peng, Lao Tzu's surname is Lao, the two people's surnames are different, how can it be Lao Tzu's ancestor. Tian Ji said.
"It's time for you to read more books, who told you that Lao Tzu's surname is Lao?" Xue Xinrou glanced at Tian Ji.
"What's that last name?" Tian Ji smiled awkwardly.
"Anyway, I don't have the surname Peng, Lao Tzu is called Li Er, but about this person's surname, first name, age, hometown, longevity, Shi Yin and other things, historians have been arguing for a long time, and there is no literature to record the identity and origin of Lao Tzu." Xue Xinrou calmly explained to Tian Ji. "You better ask Zhiqiu more, she is more proficient in this knowledge than me."
I haven't heard Ye Zhiqiu's voice for a long time, so shocked that she actually has no doubts, and when I looked at her, her expression was not puzzled but full of stunned surprise.
"What's wrong?" I hurriedly asked.
"My surname is Ye, but the ancestor is Peng Zu, and the name can be changed at will, which is not enough to prove that Lao Tzu's ancestor is not Peng Zu."
"No, you've always been rigorous in academics, so you wouldn't believe such ridiculous nonsense, right?" Gong Jue was taken aback.
"Lao Tzu and Peng Zu are completely two people from different periods, since the legend links them together, there must be some connection between them." Ye Zhiqiu pondered and said. "This eldest brother said that Peng Zu is the ancestor of Lao Tzu, which sounds really incredible, but according to this legend, linking Lao Tzu and Peng Zu, I believe that Peng Zu should not be the ancestor of Lao Tzu."
"Nonsense, who would believe it, then why are you still frowning?" Tian Ji asked.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't answer, but looked at the Orion next to him: "Big brother, what other legends are there about Lao Tzu's origin?" ”
Before Orion could speak, Gu Yuanshan, who was sitting on the side, said it first in a hurry, this legend is widely spread among the people, Ye Zhiqiu is a student of archaeology, of course he will not care about unfounded and mythical legends.
It is said that in the first year of Shang Chaoyang, the god turned into gas, Lao Tzu was born in the womb of Li Shi, the daughter of the Xuan Miao King, Li Shi was pregnant for eighty-one years, and gave birth to a boy, this boy was born with white eyebrows and white hair, white beard, therefore, Li gave him the name Lao Tzu.
"Yes, the origin of Lao Tzu is this legend." Orion nodded beside him.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't speak for a long time after listening, his eyes kept looking at the swirling fire, and his expression became more and more shocked: "Peng Zu can't be the ancestor of Lao Tzu!" ”
"You've been thinking about it for so long to come to such a conclusion?" I thought Ye Zhiqiu thought of something, and smiled a little disappointedly.
Ye Zhiqiu raised his head slowly, hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "But I know what the relationship between Peng Zu and Lao Tzu is......"
