Jiang Ziya has been practicing and living in Kunlun for more than a year, although he has been accepted as the fourteenth disciple by Yuan Shi Tianzun, and his residence has also moved from the periphery of Kunlun to the mountainside of Xuanqing Mountain, the most central part of Kunlun. But in the eyes of his wife Shen Jiang, her husband's life does not seem to be much different from the past few decades, except that he does not have to do chores, he still reads, reads, and reads again.

It's just that I used to read bamboo slips, but now I read jade.

Shen Jiang gave birth as early as six months ago, and now the couple has a son in their lives, although taking care of the baby is a little tired, but they are also happy, not to mention the abundance of aura on Kunlun Mountain, growing up here is very good for the child's future cultivation and health.

Their mansion also has a guest who often comes to visit, who is Ziya's senior brother, named Shen Gongbao.

Shen Gongbao's appearance at the age of thirty, his face is as strange as an old pine among the cliffs, and his temperament is as clear as the old cypress next to the stream, and his demeanor is excellent. Shen Gongbao is the thirteenth disciple of Yuan Shi Tianzun to sit down, and the other twelve senior brothers and sisters of Yuqing Sage and Jiang Ziya are busy practicing in retreat, and they have not seen this little junior brother, so the cultivation of Taoism is basically Shen Gongbao's teaching on behalf of the teacher, he never hides his selfishness, and has always been patient and careful to teach.

But Jiang Ziya's cultivation talent ...... It is indeed a little difficult to say, a year has not yet reached the Yuan infant period, Shen Gongbao, who is used to seeing the genius of cultivation, has a headache when he thinks of this, but the person concerned is not in a hurry, drinking tea and reading books every day, not like he is here to practice, but like he is coming to enjoy the mountains and rivers. However, even in the Kunlun Mountains, Shen Gongbao, who is recognized as well-informed, well-versed in ancient and modern times, and has traveled extensively, seems to be a talented person who can pass through the heavens and latitudes.

When Shen Gongbao talked to Jiang Ziya about the general trend of the world, even he, an outsider who had been in seclusion for thousands of years, was attracted by his words and had the idea of going down the mountain to enter the WTO.

Shen Gongbao has always been a decisive person who has an idea and puts it into action, since he has moved his heart, he will simply go down the mountain and walk in the red dust of three thousand zhang, and he will just meet many old friends who have not seen him for a long time.

He came to visit Jiang Ziya today, just to say goodbye, and then to travel to the mortal world.

The scenery of the small courtyard is quiet and quiet, a few green bamboos, a meandering stream, which can make people calm their minds.

After officially starting his cultivation, Jiang Ziya's temperament changed completely, and he was no longer like the ordinary tavern shopkeeper who did nothing before. His originally slightly black skin became more and more white under the mist of Kunlun's aura, wearing a Taoist robe, clear and dusty, at this time he held a jade slip in his hand, supported his jaw with his hand, and put a cup of tea in front of him, quite a bit of a free fairy style.

Seeing Shen Gongbao coming, Jiang Ziya hurriedly got up to greet him, and respected this senior brother who taught the Tao with all his heart. Shen Gongbao walked into the courtyard with a smile, said hello to his younger siblings who came with tea, and stretched out his fingers to tease his cute nephew a few times, the little baby was happy, he also sat down at the stone table with a smile, and motioned for Jiang Ziya to sit down and chat.

"Senior brother is here today, why are you here?" Jiang Ziya carefully put away the jade slip, looked at Shen Gongbao and asked.

Shen Gongbao stretched out his hand to take the tea to drink, but found that it was not Tiannan Ling Tea offered by many Taoist temples, but a black tea with a relatively rougher and sour taste, and looked at Jiang Ziya suspiciously.

"I brought it from my hometown, and I've been used to drinking it for many years, so I don't bother to change my taste. Jiang Ziya, who originally looked stiff in the market tavern and had chaotic eyes, was full of energy, and said with a generous smile.

"It's a little rough, but if you drink it all in one gulp, it also has a bold meaning. Shen Gongbao drank the black tea in the cup and pushed the small cup forward, signaling to fill it, and then he replied, "This time I came to bid farewell to my junior brother, I have already given the teacher, and I am ready to go down the mountain to travel to the world." ”

"Why did Senior Brother come up with the idea of traveling in the world?" Jiang Ziya asked as he carried the Lingyu celadon pot and poured a full cup for Shen Gongbao.

"This year, I have had a lot of conversations with my junior brother, and after returning home, I always feel that the Taoist heart is a little restless, and after some calculations, it turns out that it has not come down the mountain for three thousand years, and it is time to go out and relax. Shen Gongbao said with a smile.

"Then I wish my senior brother some understanding and gain after his travels. Jiang Ziya said.

Shen Gongbao returned the salute and thanked him, then looked at Jiang Ziya and said, "I went to the Yuxu Palace just now to bid farewell to the master, and the teacher said that after I said goodbye to you, I want you to go to his old man's house." ”

Jiang Ziya was not surprised when he heard this, but nodded: "I have read a lot of Kunlun books in the past year, and I feel quite a feeling. ”

"Are you sure?" said Shen Gongbao with concern.

Jiang Ziya shook the teacup in his hand slightly, smiled heartily, and looked extremely confident: "If you talk about cultivation, ten of you can't compare to you, senior brother, but if you talk about studying to help the world, senior brother, you don't have to worry too much." ”

"Hahaha, junior brother, this sharp mouth is not forgiving, no matter what, you have to turn around and hurt me. Senior brother is a little unconvinced, if I make a name for myself in the world after I go down the mountain, you will have to give me a few catties of this black tea tea at that time. ”

Jiang Ziya said with a smile: "If ordinary people come to me, but they can't drink the flavor of their hometown, since the senior brother has spoken, Ziya will serve tea." ”

Shen Gongbao drank all the Guanzhong black tea in one gulp, his chest was comfortable and happy, and he saluted in a chic manner: "I'm going down the mountain, junior brother, take care, I heard that you are asking for immortals only to go down the mountain to benefit the common people, senior brother, I will meet you at the bottom of the mountain." ”

Jiang Ziya first bowed respectfully, thanked his senior brother for his kindness, and said with a long smile: "As soon as I arrive at the earth immortal, I can go to the world to show what I have learned, and then I will play with my senior brother." ”

Shen Gongbao accepted the salute calmly, waved his sleeves, turned around and said goodbye, and drifted away to the bottom of the mountain.

I don't know when the two brothers will meet again, Jiang Ziya felt a little lost in his heart, and then cleaned up his mood, said goodbye to Shen Jiang and the child, and went to the Jade Void Palace on the top of Xuanqing Peak.

——————

Yuxu Palace is the usual retreat place of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, but this day has not met with the apprentice in the palace, the Yuqing sage stands on the top of Xuanqing Peak, looking at the western sky, holding a whisk of dust in his hand, being blown backwards by the mighty long wind, drifting and forgetting his worries.

Jiang Ziya's cultivation has not yet been completed, and he has climbed the first peak of the current flood wilderness, and his thin body has been a little unable to hold on, but at this time, the warm voice of Yuan Shi Tianzun sounded, as if a warm current was injected into his whole body, and the warmth was extremely comfortable, driving the cold away.

"Originally, there was a heavenly pillar in the wilderness, not Zhou Mountain, it was a majestic peak connected to the nine clouds and the sky, down to the root of the earth, among the ancestors and witches, Zhu Rong and co-workers were talented for fire, and one was for water, although brothers and sisters, but usually the most discordant, often quarreled and even fought. ”

Jiang Ziya first saluted respectfully, and then slightly fell half a position behind, looking at the magnificent atmosphere in the distance with the teacher, and listening carefully to the teacher's words.

"Zu Wu is a violent and warlike person, and the Di Jiang led by him has never been able to stop him, and even many Wu clans clapped their hands on the side. ”

"On that day, they quarreled with the real fire, one of them used the Nanming Lihuo Whip to cast the talent Nanming Lihuo, and the other used the halberd 'Taiyi' to cast the talent of the Three Light Divine Water, and fought for three days and three nights. In the end, the ancestral witch Gonggong was defeated by Zhu Rong after all, and in a fit of anger, he crashed headlong into Buzhou Mountain, and the body of the ancestral witch was really strong, and it actually broke this desolate heavenly pillar. ”

Jiang Ziya has read a lot of books in Kunlun these days, and naturally knows this story, but the words of the sage are so precious, there must be true meaning hidden in them, just blindly listen carefully, and sure enough, Yuan Shi Tianzun's words changed:

"But this has also led to a monstrous disaster, one of the pillars of heaven is the ladder between the world and the heavenly court, many demon clans who have become the realm of heavenly immortals have taken this opportunity to ascend to heaven, and they are under the rule of the demon emperor Jun and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and the mortals with great perseverance have taken advantage of this to ascend to the immortals, so that the demon clan has not only broken the ladder to the advancement, but also many mortals who originally had no hope of becoming immortals and wanted to ascend to the immortals with this opportunity also had no chance. ”

"The two heavenly pillars are broken, once they are smashed into the flood famine, how many living beings will be destroyed, and how much land will be wasted? The nine heavens will directly crack a big mouth, and the water of countless heavenly rivers will fall into the flood famine, and I don't know how many living beings will be killed. ”

Jiang Ziya was shocked when he heard this, he only knew that Zhou Shan had broken from it, but he didn't care how much damage the broken half would cause to the flood famine, and after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but be very afraid.

Yuan Shi Tianzun still didn't turn his head, but his tone was a little reminiscent and a little ...... Angry?

"The ancestral witch was originally transformed by the essence and blood of the Pangu god, in terms of generation, and the teacher is barely the same generation, if they practice wholeheartedly, and have the merit of Pangu Father God to open the world, who can shake the status of the Wu clan?"

"But they don't know the destiny of heaven, don't ask the common people, they don't cherish this blessing, they squander it, it's like breaking the mountain, this kind of catastrophe directly buries the luck of their race, and to this day, the only remaining ancestor almost died at the hands of the two sons of the ancestral dragon a few days ago. ”

"If it weren't for the Wu Clan's final guidance from the masters, and with measures such as Dayi shooting the sun to save the lives of the desolate wilderness, I am afraid that even the Wu God Temple would have been destroyed now. ”

"Luck is a matter of sects, ethnic groups, and families. ”

"Ziya, your thirteen senior brothers and sisters are not Terrans, I accepted you as a beginner, not only because I fancy your talent in warp and weft, but also to save some luck for the teaching. ”

"As a teacher, I have recently deduced the heavenly machine, which is always not clear enough, and the trip to the heavenly way, once it is chaotic, the heroes will be revealed, the dragon, phoenix, and unicorn clans will intervene, and the two lich clans may also take the opportunity to make trouble, and the pattern of the world will definitely change. ”

"As a human race and my disciple, if you can follow the trend and even seek heavenly power, you should be able to make the luck of the human race and the teachings last forever. ”

"As a saint, I can't do anything unless I am robbed, first your thirteenth senior brother Shen Gongbao is unstable and then travels down the mountain, and then you look for immortal Kunlun, and then you can go out of the mountain and enter the Shishi, which is a coincidence, and it is also a fortunate thing for me to explain the teachings. ”

"I promise you a year to read the Kunlun Qunshu, can you have the confidence to protect the human race and explain the foundation of the religion in the chaos of heaven and earth?"

Yuan Shi Tianzun turned around and looked at the youngest disciple gently but firmly.
