Chu State, Xiaoxiang, Baqiu.

Here, it is Yueyang, Hunan in later generations. The famous "The Story of Yueyang Tower" came from here. Now, Yueyang Tower naturally does not exist, but its predecessor "Baqiu City Tower" is already here.

Baqiu City Tower, legend has it that it was built for Luban. This building has three floors, four Nanmu golden pillars in the building run through the top of the building, covered with yellow tiles, the configuration is solemn and generous, and you can overlook the Dongting scenery when you climb it.

At this time, under the tower of Baqiu City, the old man was riding a donkey and running fast.

"Old man, old man! What do you do when you run fast? A "girl" chased the old man, and if she looked closely, she found that this girl was the middle-aged woman just now!

"You know what? Someone keeps staring at me, but I don't know who that person is? If you don't run away, I'm afraid you're going to be in trouble! The old man said hurriedly.

"What?" The girl said, "Who's staring at you?" What are you staring at? Could it be that you can still covet your good method of disguise? Or do you covet your art of playing dead? ”

The old man's face was angry, and he was about to reprimand, but at this moment, his face changed: "He's here!" ”

The girl was stunned and turned around, only to find that a young man in green clothes appeared in front of the two of them at some point.

That young man has a delicate appearance and a refined temperament, but there are two dragon horns on the top of his head, and he is actually a dragon!

"The old gentleman doesn't seem to welcome me very much? If so, then I will say goodbye. ”

That young man was naturally Ao Qing.

Ao Qing has been following the old man, but he didn't expect that the old man really had a few hands. Not to mention Zhou Shanshi, Ao Qing wants to hide his breath, which is also something that ordinary immortals can't see. The old man found out.

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly said: "Disrespectful, disrespectful." It turned out to be the Great Prince of the East China Sea! Where did the eldest prince say, how could the little old man not welcome you? I don't know who is staring at me, I am afraid of accidents, so I dodge, since I am the prince, it doesn't matter! ”

"What!?"

The girl was also surprised: "He is the eldest prince of the East China Sea?" Then he was very curious to walk around Ao Qing, this girl looked very cute, her face was always red, and she looked at Ao Qing.

Ao Qing was a little surprised: "Do you recognize me?" ”

The old man said: "Since it is a dragon clan, it has such a powerful mana. The little old man can only think of the eldest prince! Moreover, thy physiognomy is very much in tune. ”

Ao Qing arched his hand and said, "I don't know who the two immortals are?" ”

The old man said: "The little old man's real name is Zhang Guo, and the road number is Tongxuan. ”

The girl said: "My surname is Xu, and my name is Lan Caihe." ”

Ao Qington was surprised that it was Zhang Guolao and Lan Caihe among the "Eight Immortals"!!

However, he was not surprised why the immortals of the Tang Dynasty appeared in the Warring States. Not to mention that Zhang Guo has a legend that he lived from the Emperor Yao period to the Tang Dynasty. Many of the immortals of Heavenly Court and Taoism themselves have existed since ancient times, and have been incarnated into the mortal world in later generations.

The most typical are the Four Heavenly Masters.

Zhang Daoling, Ge Xuan, Sa Shoujian, Xu Jingyang. When Sun Wukong was crowned official, it already existed. But in history, they all became immortals in later generations.

The reasonable explanation is that they have been serving in the Heavenly Court for a long time, and there are various reasons for the manifestation of the Nether in the later life.

This is also quite normal. It's like the King of Jizo Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Maitreya Buddha, there is such a saying.

Ao Qing was surprised that he could meet these two famous immortals so accidentally here. And, for some reason, they seem to recognize themselves.

But after thinking about it, he understood: "The two of you are recognized by Emperor Donghua?" ”

Zhang Guo said: "Not bad! Xiao Lao'er really recognized the prince because of Emperor Donghua. However, I listened to what Nanhua said. Nanhua Zhenren was full of praise for the prince, and kept mentioning that he wanted to see the prince. ”

"Nanhua Real ......"

Zhuangzi?

Ao Qing was even more surprised. Unexpectedly, the famous Zhuangzi actually wanted to see himself.

You must know that Ao Qing has admired Zhuangzi for a long time and admires him!

Having said that, this dynasty now, although the specific dynasty Ao Qing is not sure. But it must be the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and since entering Chu, Ao Qing has always heard that Qu Yuan, the doctor of Chu, is still there.

In other words, it was almost the time when Zhuangzi was still alive! But after all, it's a mythical world, and it can't be inferred from that way.

"I also admire Nanhua Zhenren. If you have the opportunity, sit down with him. Ao Qing said.

"Hehe, Nanhua Zhenren is now in Song Kingdom. If the prince has a heart, he can look for it. Zhang Guo said with a smile.

Lan Caihe showed a cute expression on his face and said, "If the prince is too lazy to look for it, I can also lead the way." I didn't want to be with this old man for a long time, but if I could follow the prince, I would be happy! ”

Ao Qing looked at the "girl" in front of her, and suddenly had a complicated mood. Well, this Lan Caihe is really a woman!

Even Ao Qing didn't look carefully, but he didn't find that he was a man.

If it weren't clear that Lan Caihe was a genuine "teenager", Ao Qing would not have pursued her gender, and would definitely be treated as a woman.

Moreover, Lan Caihe is still different from Nezha. Although they are all women, they are all cute and cute, but Nezha is much less "coquettish" than Lan Caihe, and she looks like a child.

To put it simply, most people don't pay attention to Nezha's gender, but for Lan Caihe, it will be somewhat feminine......

Of course, not to mention that Lan Caihe is a man, even if it is a woman, Ao Qing will not be moved: "Daoist friends laugh, you are a Taoist immortal, how can you deign to be beside me?" ”

Lan Caihe said: "I'm not from the Daomen, I'm just getting closer to the Daomen, this old man is from the Daomen!" ”

Zhang Guolao pushed Lan Caihe away and said, "Go and go!" The prince didn't know that the two of us were monks during the Five Emperors period, and now they have not officially entered the Daomen and Heavenly Court. Although I have a Taoist name, I am also a scattered immortal. It's just that the two of us are friends with Nanhua real people! ”

Ao Qing was quite surprised. But if you think about it, it's true.

Among the eight immortals, except for Lu Dongbin, none of them can actually be said to be of Taoist origin.

There are generals, servants, officials, and even Han Yu's nephew! If I had to say it, "Heavenly Court" was closer to them.

However, in later generations, they all worshiped the Daomen, but it was also true, and it seems that these eight immortals also have the meaning of "three religions in one".

Ao Qing said: "It's rare to have Yaxing today, why don't you two go to this Baqiu upstairs with me and enjoy tea and watch the scenery together?" ”

Lan Cai and Xi said: "So good! ”

Zhang Guolao also said: "Since the prince is invited, the two of us will naturally not refuse!" ”

Ao Qing nodded. The figure shook, and the next moment it disappeared out of thin air, appearing on top of the Baqiu City Tower.

Zhang Guolao and Lan Caihe were stunned, they didn't even see the movements of the dragon prince clearly!

This hand suddenly made the two of them feel the power of their cultivation!

But having said that, the two were not too shocked. That Zhang Guo Lao patted the donkey and flew up out of thin air on the donkey, while Lan Caihe picked up a flower basket and pinched the trick, the flower basket became several times larger, and flew upstairs with him.
