Chapter 1: Immortality
260 BC, spring, Chinese New Year's Eve.
Zhao Guo.
In the middle of the capital Handan.
In the early morning, Zhao Wangdan sat on the Yu steps, wearing a beaded curtain.
One day the historian was in the temple and reported the wat report:
"On the king, half a month ago, there was a huixing to, see the end of the minute, a watch out of the southwest, fell in Zhao land, Hongdong Dahuai Township. This morning, there are Hongdong county officials, half a month ago after the comet, one day the sΓ©ance man appeared in Dahuai Township, his body is like jade, makeup like a living person, wearing strange clothes, not like the costumes of the Seven Kingdoms, since the birth, have not opened their eyes, has not drunk or eaten for 17 days, some people are afraid of demons, have been burned with fire, axes, their people do not see the slightest damage, and now has been worshiped by the local people as "gods", for which the construction of a shrine to worship. β
Zhao Wangdan's eyelids were half closed, and he said lazily: "The villagers are ignorant, and they are mostly untruthful, so you don't have to take it seriously, at the moment, the princes still focus on the battle against Qin, the Qin army has provoked many times, but the old general Lian Po in front retreated without fighting, and he intends to change generals, who do you think can replace Lian Po?" β
"On the king, Zhao Kuo, the son of the famous general Ma Fujun, is familiar with the book of soldiers, and he is very afraid of it, and the Qin army is very afraid of it, if he uses Zhao Kuo as a general, he will be able to win a big victory!"
Zhao Wangdan's eyes moved slightly, and he was slightly happy:
"Zhao Kuo? The lone king has also heard of his wealth through heaven and earth, if he replaces Lian Po, he will definitely win a complete victory, break through the Qin army in one fell swoop, and step into Xianyang! Zhao Kuo! Yes! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the same time that Zhao Guo changed generals and replaced the veteran Lian Po with the young genius Zhao Kuo.
It is not in the Dahuai Township of Hongdong County, which is not cared for by Zhao Wangdan.
Backed by a large locust tree, a simple ancestral hall like a thatched hut was built.
In the ancestral hall, on the one-zhang high yellow mud shrine, there was a young man with long hair hanging down his shoulders.
He wore a broad white robe, broad shoulders, a high nose, a face as white as crystal, like a god, and his facial features seemed to be carved, transcending all the beauty of the world.
It is said to be a human form, but it is also a sculpture of a god.
At this time, outside the shrine, hundreds of people dressed in all kinds of linen clothes and cloths, male or female, old and young, all bowed around the shrine.
The villagers bent down and undulated, like a circle of waves, and all kinds of wishes poured into the idol.
"Pray that the man of God will keep my family safe!"
"Pray that the man of God will give me a child and spread the incense!"
"May God be merciful and give me some money......
Since this heavenly god fell in Dahuai Township with a meteor, it was only half a month, and the people of dozens of surrounding villages had already heard about it, and they came to pray for it.
A couple bowed down and prayed to the man of God that he would give them a child to carry on their lineage.
Some people didn't believe it, but after coming here, they saw the skin color that was not like a mortal at all, the facial features like a knife, and the divine temperament like a fairy wind, so they had to believe it.
Xiangzheng Chen Laohan took the lead in building a shrine for him.
And just when the old man of the township took the whole family to worship in front of the shrine every day, praying for the blessing of the gods, and the whole family knelt down.
Suddenly, I heard a child's immature voice say:
"Zu Weng, Daddy, look at it, the man of God has opened his eyes."
Chen Laohan's son hurriedly lowered his head, and when he saw that his son actually stood up and stretched out his hand to point at the godman, his face changed greatly, and he immediately reprimanded: "Sheng'er, don't point your finger at the godman, kneel down quickly, don't talk nonsense!" β
He completely took his son's words without seriousness.
How can a man of God open his eyes?
That's not really alive!
But just after the man had reprimanded his three-year-old son, he heard a commotion around the shrine, and they all stood up and shouted in horror:
"The man of God has opened his eyes!"
"The man of God has opened his eyes!"
"The man of God stood up!!"
The man's brain exploded just now, like a thunderbolt, and he turned his neck stiffly in disbelief to look at it......
Saw.
The statue of the young man who was sitting on the yellow clay platform and was worshiped like a god by them really opened his eyes and looked at him at this time......
What kind of eyes are they.
It is obviously the image of a young man, but it is such a vicissitudes of life, it is really like a god looking down on them, and his eyes are as deep and wide as the starry sky in the dark night.
"God-man!!"
Xiangzheng Chen Laohan opened his mouth wide, and his scalp was also electrified, but after all, he was the lord of a township, no better than the vulgar, and when he heard the frightened and frightened shouts of the villagers behind his head, he was the first to react:
"The gods and men appeared, and the old and decrepit Chen Jiu bowed to the gods!"
Chen Laohan took the lead, and most of the villagers also bowed down in horror.
But most of them still shouted:
"God-man spares his life!"
"Godmen, don't kill us!"
People are like that.
It was clear that they were worshipped, but the first moment they saw the statue come to life, it was not reverence, but fear.
After Chen Laohan knelt down, he buried his head in the ground, although he took the lead in bowing, but his heart was also beating in panic, he only knew that it was always right to bow down in this situation, but it was hard to say whether it was good or bad for the god man to come alive.
When I was nervous and uneasy.
But he felt a breeze blowing from the shrine, and he unconsciously stood up straight with Chen Laohan in his arms, so that all the villagers of Dahuai Township kneeling here stood up straight.
Then, an incomparably mellow man's voice flowed into their ears.
"If it weren't for the power of the incense generated by your ten days of bowing to wake me up, Jiang doesn't know how many more years I will have to sleep, you are all my Jiang Taiyi's kindness, it's too late to think about your kindness, how can I hurt you?"
This voice, like power, goes straight to the heart, gentle and warm.
Chen Laohan and his family and the people in the countryside all seemed to be appeased, and unconsciously relaxed.
"Taiyi!"
Chen Laohan raised his head in awe, and after hearing the young man's self-reported name, he was shocked:
"It's God's apparition!"
The god man called himself Jiang Taiyi.
Not to mention that the surname Jiang is the surname of Emperor Yan.
Taiyi, isn't that the god of heaven revered by Chu Di, and even in the entire seven kingdoms of the world, it is also a symbol of God, Haotian, God, and Heavenly Father.
"Oh my God!"
The people were even more shocked by the gods they worshipped, and the gods in front of them turned out to be the Emperor of Heaven, so when he opened his eyes just now, he really opened his eyes to the real God!
"God is too ......"
Jiang Tai's eyes were calm and waveless, but she could see the reactions of the hundreds of villagers below:
"The Emperor of Heaven and Earth on your side, was originally called Taiyi? It seems that there is a misunderstanding, Jiang is not the god in your heart, just an immortal cultivator. β
Let's talk about it.
Old Man Chen was confused, as if he didn't understand what it meant to be a cultivator.
But I clearly heard the four words.
Live forever!
The man of God himself confessed that he was an immortal being.
Isn't this God, what is it?
What can be immortal in the world, spring and autumn, cold and summer, birth, old age, sickness and death, no one can escape, only God can exist for a long time, and he has been watching the common people.
When Mrs. Jiang saw that the old man still had any misunderstanding, she didn't want to explain more, but asked:
"What age is it? Who is your king? How big is this world? β
Chen Laohan reacted for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "Huishenren, since the Zhou Dynasty, after the five overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period, and today it is divided into seven countries, which are: Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin. β
"Xiao Lao'er's family is now in Dahuai Township, Hongdong County, Zhao State, and the monarch is Zhao Wangdan, the son of King Huiwen, and tonight is the beginning of the twentieth year of King Zhao."
"Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qin."
After Jiang Taiyi heard this, he said to himself:
"Are the Seven Kingdoms in trouble?"
When he came to this world, if it weren't for the incense worship and awakening of the people in this village, he didn't know how long he would have been asleep, maybe he wouldn't wake up after falling asleep, and everyone in this village was kind to him......
Between words.
looked at the child who was the first to point to himself and said that he was opening his eyes, and was hiding behind Chen Laohan at this time, looking at him curiously and reverently, his dark eyes were like jewels, Jiang Taiyi chuckled:
"What's your child's name?"
Chen Laohan was about to speak, but the little boy took the initiative to stick his head out and said loudly:
"My name is Chen Sheng!"
