The three of them went together together, and the two of them had nothing to do, and they heard that Jiang Ziya was going home to see, so they went with him.

Jiang Ziya returned home and saw his wife Ma, who had not seen him for many years, and Ma was very happy to see that his husband was back, and asked, "But you have come back after learning your skills?"

Jiang Ziya was very embarrassed, because although he had already apprenticed to the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, it was a pity that he himself felt that he had not learned advanced Taoist techniques, so he smiled awkwardly and did not answer.

Ma Shi was about to go crazy when he saw this, but when he saw the two people behind Jiang Ziya, he also reined in, and hurriedly began to greet the two of them.

In this way, Jiang Ziya returned home, and Wangcheng and Xiao Er had nothing to do, so they built two bamboo sheds near Jiang Ziya's house and lived together.

Jiang Ziya was a common person at home, how could he be rubbed by Wang Hou, so Ziya thought of a way.

Ziya often hangs by the stream. When others fish, they use a curved hook with a scented bait on it, and then sink it in the water to trick the fish into taking the bait. But Jiang Ziya's hook is straight, with no bait on it, no sinking into the water, and three feet above the water. As he raised his rod aloft, he said to himself, "Fish, fish, if you wish, jump on my hook." ”

One day, when a firewood collector came to the stream, he saw Jiang Ziya fishing on the water with a straight hook without bait, so he kindly said to him: "Old man, if you fish like this, you can't catch a fish in a hundred years!"

Jiang Ziya raised his fishing rod and said with a light smile: "Old man, I'm not here to catch fish, but to catch the king and the marquis!"

Chai Fu shook his head when he heard this, and stopped talking, but such a strange fishing method passed through Chai Fu's mouth, but it spread farther and farther.

It finally reached Ji Chang, the king of Zhou Wen. When Ji Chang found out, he sent a soldier to call Ziya. The soldier who came when Ziya drove up ignored him, and only cared about his own fishing, and said to himself while fishing: "Fishing! Fishing, the fish don't take the bait, but the shrimp come to mess around!"

The soldier was not angry when he heard Ziya's words, but went back to his home.

After Ji Chang listened to the soldier's report, he sent another official to invite Ziya. But Ziya still didn't answer when he saw the officials who came, and said while fishing: "Fishing! Fishing, big fish don't take the bait, but small fish come to mess around!"

The official was also good-tempered, and when he heard Ziya's words, he saluted and went back to his life.

Ji Chang listened to the official's reply and seemed to realize that this angler must be a great sage, so he was ready to invite him in person. Ji Chang, who had a plan, first fasted for three days, then bathed and changed clothes, and with a generous gift, he set off to the bamboo forest to meet Jiang Ziya, who was fishing.

Ziya saw Ji Chang and said, "It's time to go home!" So he ignored Ji Chang and began to pack his things and prepare to go home, Ji Chang had to follow Ziya.

Slowly, Ziya began to lament: "Hey! When I get older, I will have a weak back and a pain in my back after walking for a while!"

Ji Chang said with comprehension when he heard this: "If the old gentleman doesn't dislike it, let me carry the old man!"

Ziya was not polite when he heard this, so he got on Ji Chang's back.

In this way, Ji Chang and Ziya started their first conversation, but the two of them will meet a good talent, and they will be out of control when they talk.

Ji Chang saw that Jiang Shang was knowledgeable and familiar with history and the current situation, so he asked him for advice on the good strategy of governing the country and rejuvenating the country. It means that in order to govern the country and rejuvenate the country, we must be meritocracy-oriented, and attach importance to discovering and using talents.

Ji Chang was very happy when he heard this, and said: "My ancestor Taigong prophesied: 'When a saint arrives in Zhou, Zhou will be able to prosper.' 'You're the saint, aren't you?'

Ziya saw that he sincerely came to invite him, so he replied: You have walked 800 steps on my back, and I will give you an 800-year-old country and promise to serve him.

Ji Chang was overjoyed when he heard it. So he personally helped Jiang Shang into the chariot, returned to the palace together, and worshiped him as the Taishi, called "Taigongwang".
