Zhang Lu remembered that Zhuge Liang was twenty-seven years old when he came out of the mountain, but he didn't remember the specific year at all - he mainly watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms...... comic books and TV series, at most listen to Mr. Yuan's commentary ("Three Kingdoms" has never been touched), in those literary and artistic works, the year description is very vague - I only know that Liu Bei is still in Xuzhou at this time, God knows that he can come to Jingxiang in the year of the monkey. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Therefore, Zhuge Liang at this time is likely to be an adult, and he may not be able to find out the location of the Zhuge family from the mouth of the villagers.

So he had a little more heart, and planned to ask "Shuijingzhuang" - Mr. Shuijing, Sima Hui, seemed to be a native of Jingzhou, maybe he could know Zhuge Liang's whereabouts.

Sima Hui was a native of Yingchuan, and he had to wait until three years after the dedication of Emperor Jian'an, that is, two years later, before he was invited by Liu Biao to live in Xiangyang.

Fortunately, before Zhang Lu could ask, he was interrupted by a person behind him - "Why are you here?"

When Zhang Lu heard this, his heart sank slightly, and he hurriedly turned around, and saw a middle-aged man standing tall just a few steps away. Then I saw that this man was between thirty and fifty years old, eight feet tall, with a fair complexion, his hair was dyed like ink, and his eyes were like paint. He was also wearing a plain white shirt with a black ribbon tied around his waist, and the whole person was black and white, all of which were in these two colors, and they seemed to be distinct. Zhang Lu's first reaction, this is the "black and white" in martial arts novels, right?

To tell the truth, this person's appearance is very ordinary, if it weren't for the fact that the black and white colors are too special and the body is also tall, it would be impossible to leave the slightest impression on others. But it is precisely because of this white mixed with black, black and white, very colorful, Zhang Lu once saw it from afar, and he deeply engraved this person in his mind.

He had seen this person in the illusion shown by Zhang Jian not long ago...... The reason why there is an impression of immortals is that they are dressed up, and the second is that the name of this immortal is also recorded in the history books, and it does not belong to the unknown people in the world. For the immortals with legends in the mortal world, Zhang Lu was naturally impressed, such as the Queen Mother of the West, the Prince of the East, Yi, Lao Tzu, Liu Lei, Zhu Ji Weng, etc., including the immortal in front of him.

So he hurriedly bowed his hand: "The one called by the Immortal Chief, is it not Luye?" Are you talking to me?

When the other party heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "How do you know that I came from heaven?"

Zhang Luxin said Because I have seen you before, I also know that Liu Lei will send an immortal to earth to guide my homework instead of Pei Xuanren. Of course, he can't say this explicitly, otherwise it will be tantamount to betraying Zhang Jian, not to mention the friendship between him and Zhang Jian, Zhang Jian hopes that he can be the aid of the Olympics after ascending to the immortal in the future, and he also hopes that Zhang Jian can help, so as not to be poisoned by the gods of heaven on another day. However, Zhang Lu also took into account that if he pretended not to know each other, as soon as he opened his mouth, he would "who are you", and he would inevitably be seen by the other party.

After all, I have no professional training in acting, and the immortals are so easy to deceive? You don't want to hide from the immortals without taking a few detours? Isn't this nonsense?

So he smiled slightly, and replied: "If the immortal chief can get five steps close to Lu without realizing it, it must be an extraordinary person—he actually came from the sky?" Originally, the voice of "Immortal Chief" was just an honorific title, knowing that you are a cultivator, and your Taoism is deeper than mine, so you are so close to me, if you don't open your mouth, I won't be aware of it.

The other party looked him up and down a few times, and couldn't help but smile: "The son can be taught." Then he raised his head: "I am born in the period, and I am ordered by the Lord of Heaven to guide you to the Tao." ”

Zhang Lu pretended to widen his eyes, and then "plopped" and bowed: "Mr. Anqiu is here, the disciple has eyes and ignorance, forgive the sin!"

On the other side, if Zhang Jian and Pei Xuanren knew him well, they would inevitably ask on the spot, what are you doing? Are you really Zhang Lu? What is there to hide from me for such a fuss? But in An Qisheng's opinion, a mortal, suddenly encountering an immortal, kneeling down and kowtowing, this thing is normal - I think I haven't ascended to the immortal at the beginning, the official sent by Qin Shi Huang to ask for immortal medicine, which one is not this virtue?

An Qisheng, also known as "Chitose Weng" and "Mr. Anqiu", was originally a Qi local scholar. It was mentioned in "Historical Records: The Biography of Le Yi" that Le Yi has a fellow clan named Le Chenggong - "Lechen Gongxue Yellow Emperor and Lao Tzu, his master is called the Zhangren of the River, and I don't know where he came from." The Zhangren of the river taught An Qisheng, An Qisheng taught Mao Xigong, Mao Xi taught Lefang Gong, and Lechen Gongjiao Lechen Gong ......" recorded in the same book "Xiaowu Benji", the famous Fang Shi Li Shaojun also boasted to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that "the ministers taste the sea and see An Qisheng." ”

Because the Eastern Han Dynasty prevailed in the Wei Dynasty, the Fang Shi gradually died down and the Confucianism was beginning to rise, so for the immortals who are clearly recorded in this kind of history books, there are many folk legends in various places. It is said that An Qisheng was originally an evil man, who once sold medicine on the shore of the East China Sea, and Qin Shi Huang swam east to the sea, summoned him to come, talked earnestly for three days and three nights, and rewarded countless gold, silver, and silk silks. But An Qisheng left all those treasures behind, and left a letter, asking the first emperor to "beg me to be in Penglai Mountain in the next few years" - later the first emperor sent Xu Shi to lead 500 boys and virgins to the sea, which is said to be to find An Qisheng.

Of course, the official history books say that Xu Shi was ordered to find Penglai Immortal Mountain and visit the immortal elixir, but he can't stand the folklore and have the ability to be tough: An Qisheng was originally a medicine seller, and it is normal for him to have immortal medicine in his hand, otherwise Qin Shi Huang has nothing to do, why would he reward him with gold silk? That is all the cost of medicine! Moreover, An Qisheng left the mainland and went without a trace, so there is no need to ask, he must have landed Penglai Immortal Island. So if you are looking for Penglai, you are looking for An Qisheng.

According to Zhang Lu's later inquiry into An Qisheng, he learned that the folk legend is not old and reliable, but it is also groundless, not without a cause. An Qisheng practiced in the mortal world, less than a thousand years, "Thousand Years Old" Yunyun is a false rumor, he did have refined pills and burned medicine by the East China Sea, but he did not sell it easily. Qin Shi Huang was indeed famous and visited him, but he did not come to the door in person, and only sent a few officials to come over and buy heavy treasures to buy immortal medicine. As a result, An Qisheng said that I didn't have the elixir of immortality, and even if I did, it would be impossible to sell it to mortals, so I ran away and went to the sea - in the next thirty years, I ascended to the sky and achieved the immortal path.

In addition, it is also recorded in the "Historical Records: The Biography of Tian Danlie": "(Kuai) Tongshan Qi people are born in peace, and Xiang Yu tastes dry Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu can't use his strategy." Xiang Yu wanted to seal these two people, but the two refused to accept it and died. "Then it's a no-brainer.

Let's say that An Qisheng saw Zhang Lu and said that the Heavenly Father sent me to guide your cultivation, why did you come here if you didn't stay on Dingmur Mountain honestly? Zhang Lu hurriedly explained, saying that since the teacher Pei Xuanren ascended to the immortal, his cultivation was unguided, and the progress was very slow, so he went down the mountain to find a few fellow Daoists, Bujue and Bai Que'er. An Qisheng said that it is useless for you to find those people, besides-"They also have immortal fate, and the Heavenly Father also sends teachers to teach each other." "Don't waste your time, let's go back to the mountain with me and practice.

As he spoke, he waved his long sleeves, just like what Zhang Jian did that day, and took Zhang Lu away. The sound of the wind in his ears sounded again, but this time Zhang Lu was bolder, and his ability was different from the beginning, gritting his teeth, taking a lot of effort, trying to open his eyes, and seeing that the objects in front of him were flashbacks - this is a space jump, but unfortunately the distance traveled through each time is too short, and it will just shrink to death.

Thinking about the majesty of the immortals in the sky, the Queen Mother of the West wants to see the prince of the East, and she can reach it in one step for thousands of miles, which is too far away. It can't be that the magic powers of the Queen Mother of the West are thousands of times higher than those of Zhang Jian, An Qisheng and others-if it is really like that, in the face of Liu Lei, the Heavenly Princess, who can suppress the Queen Mother of the West, Zhang Jian will not have any thoughts of fighting, it is serious to wash and sleep early...... Could it be that the mortal world still has certain restrictions on the magic powers of immortals?

The reason makes sense, the basic physical rules of different worlds should be different, even in the same world, people on the earth are more than two meters vertical to the sky, on the moon can easily go four or five meters high.

However, when he arrived at his destination, he found that this was not Zhongding, but another high mountain. An Qisheng said: "This is the heavenly pillar of my former practice. ”

There are many mountains called "Tianzhu" in various places, and as long as there is a certain height, looking at its peak from the foot of the mountain is like inserting the sky, the people who have not seen it nearby will call it that. As far as Zhang Lu knows, the most famous Tianzhu Mountain in later generations is in Anhui, in addition, there is also a legend that there is also Tianzhu Mountain in the Middle East, with "the ladder to the sky" and "the platform to ascend the immortals" - I want to go to the sea in Ji back then, in addition to admiring Penglai, I want to find Tianzhu. However, the Tianzhu Mountain that An Jisheng brought him to is neither in Anhui nor overseas, but in Zhongzhou and Henan, which is located in Huojia County, Hanoi County, and borders the Yellow River to the south.

In fact, this mountain is not very high, and it is more than 100 zhang worse than the Ding room, which shows how uninformed the person who took the name. However, this mountain is dangerous enough, and its deep and remote places are indeed inaccessible, and it is very suitable as a cultivation base. Zhang Lu estimated that An Qisheng brought him here, firstly, on the orders of the Heavenly Father, to completely draw a line between himself and Zhang Jian and Pei Xuanren's senior brothers, and secondly, for him Mr. Anqiu to place his thoughts on nostalgia.

However, although An Qisheng once practiced on Tianzhu Mountain, left the mountain to go to the East China Sea, and then ascended to the sky and flew to the immortals, it has been hundreds of years, and the cave where he lived in seclusion in the past has long become a lair of wild beasts. Of course, this is not difficult to settle down, with a flick of the big sleeves, the birds and beasts inside and outside, including raccoon dogs, rabbits, mice, etc., all have tears in their eyes, and they start to move with their families in tow. Then he stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and the spring gushed out, washed the cave clean, and then took the flame of the golden crow, and dried the ground, and then led Zhang Lu to live in.

The entrance of the cave is not big, you have to bend down to barely enter, but when you go in and see, there is a hole in it, not only there are holes on the top, the sun shines in, the breeze blows, it is not dim, it is not boring, and it is layered, it seems that there are seven or eight caves connected with each other.

Since then, Zhang Lu has been forced to cultivate with An Qisheng in the cave at the top of this Heavenly Pillar Peak. Regarding his current level, after An Qisheng tested it, he was quite surprised: "You have only practiced for six or seven years, and you can reach the realm of refining the truth, I don't want Pei Xuanren to be a good teacher." ”

So he asked Zhang Lu if he had any adventures in the past. Zhang Lu didn't mention any "Gu Immortal Language", not to mention that he and Pei Xuanren taught each other, just said that Zuo Ci used the "Lingtai Mirage" to help him. An Qisheng muttered: "This method stops the capital breakthrough, and your foundation is very stable, so it can be effective...... "If the foundation is not solid, even if it is made 10,000 times by someone to "Lingtai Mirage", it will be useless.

Zhang Luxin said Are you wondering, this kid is so qualified, it seems that what Zhang Jian said is true, he is the real person who should be destroyed?

In Zhang Lu's view, immortals are not really without desire, no desire and no hatred, and Taoists don't talk about this kind of realm at this time, unless it is a Buddha - but if you really want a Buddha like that, theoretically it should not exist in the world, whether it is the real world, or a parallel world, or a pocket world - not to mention Liu Lei's immortal seizure of power and Zhang Jian's attempt to take revenge, let's just say that An Qisheng's teaching to himself since then is clearly fighting with Pei Xuanren.

- When you Xiao Pei was a teacher, you hadn't ascended to the immortal yet, and now I'm an immortal who has come down to teach as an apprentice, if you haven't taught it well, where can you put this face!

However, An Qisheng does not compare to Pei Xuanren, first, he has been an immortal for hundreds of years, and he doesn't know much about mortal things, and he probably forgets about the mood of mortals, which is too ungrounded. The second is that Zhang Lu taught Pei Xuanren "Gu Xian Yu" at the beginning, and when he taught, he often used the kind of language that was more logical and more clear in later generations, and often achieved twice the result with half the effort. An Qisheng should theoretically understand the "Gu Immortal Language", but Zhang Lu has not revealed what he also understands, so it is impossible for him to add points in this regard.

If you want to say the "mother tongue" of An Jisheng, it should be the Qi dialect of the Warring States Period. The Zhou Dynasty implemented a feudal system, and most of the princes in various places, especially the remote Fang countries, were self-isolated, and they were culturally influenced by the Zong and Zhou, which was often not as deep as the influence of the surrounding barbarians. Each country has a pedestrian, that is, a professional diplomat, who must have a considerable command of foreign languages in order to be able to travel freely. To put it bluntly, just like the Western European countries in later generations, everyone made the Latin alphabet and the language and writing from Latin, but if you don't study hard, even if you are only hundreds of miles apart, you can't communicate just by mouthing and not gesturing.

In fact, there are also great differences in the local dialects of the Han Dynasty, but firstly, the central authority is quite strong, and the local officials are appointed by the central government, rather than the locals for generations, so Zhongzhou Yayin is a necessary homework for scholars;

An Qisheng was born in the late Spring and Autumn Period, and his experience in the mortal world covered the entire Warring States Period, when various countries attacked year after year, and the closure was broken to a certain extent - otherwise there would not be so many guest secretaries, and the flow of talents would be so frequent - the Qidi language is still far from the Central Plains language, and the writing is even more incomprehensible. If An Qisheng pronounced the local pronunciation, it is estimated that Zhang Lu would only be called an orangutan, and in comparison, the grammatical differences in hundreds of years would be a small problem.

Fortunately, there are always rules in the flow of language, and these laws are extremely complicated in the eyes of mortals, and it is difficult to produce a monograph without a lifetime of intensive research, but in the eyes of the immortals, it is only Er'er - the immortals put it bluntly, it is an existence that has a deep understanding of the laws of the world, and can then change its own form - before going down to earth, An Qisheng has already done enough homework, and can send the Yayin of the Central Plains in the late Han Dynasty. In terms of grammar, he mixed current Chinese, ancient Chinese, and some ancient immortal languages, and was basically able to communicate with Zhang Lu correctly.

But communication is communication, teaching is teaching, Zhang Lu feels that he is following a foreign teacher, but when it comes to profundity, thirty percent of the content has to be guessed - how can the progress be fast?

So he asked An Qisheng in a roundabout way: "I heard that the immortals are all ascending in another world, and it is not a temporary choice, so in the sky, how can you communicate? Or do you have other words?"

Who would have thought that An Qisheng shook his head: "There is a common word in heaven?"
