Chapter 154: Encounter in the Qiangxi, King Wen pulls the cart (two in one)

"Huh?" Wu Ji was a little confused, he didn't understand what Jiang Ziya meant, why did such a clever old immortal want to take him as an apprentice?

He thought of a lot of results on the way, thought that Jiang Ziya would laugh at him and reject him, also thought of Jiang Ziya asking him for money, and thought that Jiang Ziya helped him resolve the unjustified disaster with an understatement, but he never thought that Jiang Ziya would take him as an apprentice.

"Why, don't you want to?" Jiang Ziya asked.

"Yes, yes, I do!" said Wu Ji with great joy and nodded repeatedly.

"Since you are willing, why don't you bow to the master? This is your ancestor, the Taoist name Yuan Shi Tianzun!" Jiang Ziya bowed to the portrait of Yuan Shi Tianzun.

"Disciple to meet the master, meet the master!" Wu Ji kowtowed three times to the portrait of Yuan Shi Tianzun, and then kowtowed to Jiang Ziya three times.

"The master is on top, the disciple Jiang Ziya accepted Wu Ji as an apprentice, please learn from the master!"

"Get up, since you have come under my door, I will not only help you resolve the disaster, but also teach you the Tao and the art of war, which will be of great use in the future!" Jiang Ziya said to Wu Ji.

Jiang Ziya has calculated, this Wuji is loyal and honest, and his talent is not bad, so he is a good candidate for discipleship.

Wu Ji asked for advice on how to avoid the disaster, Jiang Ziya smiled, and said a solution in Bukit's ear.

When Bukit returned home, he dug a big hole in front of his bed, four feet deep, slept in it, and then lit a lamp in front of his head and feet, and sprinkled some grass and rice on his body. Here, the image of the pit is equivalent to the grave and the abyss, the image of rice is the same as maggots, the oil lamp of course means the eternal lamp, the Ziya is draped with a sword, stepping on the cloth fight, and pinching the knot seal practice.

Three years have passed, and Bukit's old mother has indeed died, according to the previous agreement, Bukit should return to Xiqi to be punished, but a month has passed, and Bukit still has not returned.

This made Ji Chang angry, thinking that Wu Ji was not a real person, and said that he would come back in the autumn and die, so why didn't he come back? This person has a bad moral character, and he is a big liar! Ji Chang took three copper coins and shook it.

However, according to the hexagram, Bukit is dead, the grave is grassy, and the corpses have rotted, Ji Chang's heart is relieved, thinking that Bukit is still quite real, he has committed suicide in fear of sin, the body has been buried, and maggots have been born.

Just like three years ago, Jiang Ziya is still fishing in Qiangxi, and Ji Chang has been visiting Qunxian all over Xiqi, hoping that there will be masters to help him.

As if it was destined, Ji Chang's car drove out of Xiqi, down the river along the river, and came towards the place where Jiang Ziya was fishing.

Bukit followed Jiang Ziya to learn Taoism and the art of war, and the government seemed to have forgotten that he had committed manslaughter, and no one ever asked about Bukit's whereabouts, and no one came to arrest him.

On this day, Bukit was about to go to a town in the upper reaches of the river to buy wine for Jiang Ziya, when he suddenly saw the car in front of him.

Bukit was stunned, and he felt that the car was somewhat familiar.

This car is obviously Ji Chang's car.

The driver was Ji Chang's cronies, who had seen Bukit that day, and found that the person in front was quite familiar, and when he looked closely, he found that it was Bukit who had committed suicide in fear of crime!

Didn't the king say that Bukit had committed suicide in fear of sin? The king's hexagram had never missed, so how could this Bukit still be alive? Is it a human or a ghost?

"Look, is this Bukit?" said the cronies to Ji Chang in the car.

"Huh, Bukit?" Ji Chang was puzzled, opened the curtain, and found that the person in front of him was Bukit!

"It's really Bukit! Why didn't he die? Impossible, my hexagram has never miscalculated! Could it be that he has someone superior to help him? Someone, catch him!" Xibohou Jichang was puzzled and wanted to catch Bukit and ask what was going on.

A crowd of guards swarmed out to capture Bukit.

Wu Ji also recognized that it was Xibohou's chariot and looked ashamed, but he was not ready to be arrested, but turned around and fled, running towards Jiang Ziya's fishing place, Jiang Ziya had said before that if he met Xibohou's chariot, he could lead them to him.

Originally, three years had come, and Wu Ji wanted to go to Xiqi to be punished, but Jiang Ziya said that since Wu Ji had already worshiped under him, he was no longer a mortal, and he was not bound by the laws of mortals, so his sin of killing people by mistake did not exist, and he was asked not to think too much about it, and to concentrate on studying the law.

Bukit ran all the way and finally came to Jiang Ziya's side.

Xibohou Jichang chased all the way, and finally came to Jiang Ziya, and King Wen of Zhou noticed the maverick Jiang Ziya at a glance.

Ji Chang has also heard of this mysterious old man who is fishing in the river, and he is also very curious about Jiang Ziya's unique fishing method, and looking at this situation, the master who pointed out Bukit is also this old man.

The guards were about to arrest Bukit, but Sibohou waved his hand.

Ji Chang got out of the car, tidied up his clothes, walked to Jiang Ziya's side, and bowed to Jiang Ziya: "Xibohou Jichang meets the old man!"

"The village man can't stand Xi Bohou's worship!

said so, but Jiang Ziya's tone was flat, and he didn't move his buttocks, let alone holding Ji Chang to prevent him from bowing or returning the salute.

Ji Chang was not annoyed, but stood quietly by the side and watched, as if he wanted to see what the mystery came out.

After watching a cup of tea, Ji Chang asked: "Old man, your fishing method is so unique, you don't use bait, you don't need to bend the hook, you only use a straight hook, and the hook doesn't enter the water, how can you fall into the fish?"

"Hahahaha, the old man fishes, never forced, just the so-called Taigong fishing, willing to take the bait!

I saw a sudden ripple in the water, and a fat perch jumped out of the water and bit the hook on the water.

Jiang Ziya took off the perch and put it in the bamboo basket: "The wisher takes the bait, the Hou Ye is here, and the fish is here!"

"Miraculous! It's amazing! Mr. is really a master! Please bow to Ji Chang again!" Ji Chang bowed again.

This time, Jiang Ziya hurriedly got up and held Ji Chang's hand: "I have heard that Xibo Hou Ji Chang is benevolent, righteous and virtuous, and he is thirsty for talent, but when I saw it today, Jiang Ziya finally looked forward to the Hou Ye!"

After Ji Chang heard this, he was amazed in his heart, waiting for his arrival in such a way, if he wasn't a master, he would never be like this.

After the two talked, they found that the other party was the one they were waiting for.

"The old gentleman is very knowledgeable and resourceful, may I ask if the old gentleman is willing to go out of the mountain and assist the widow to govern Xiqi together?" Ji Chang opened his mouth to invite.

"Don't go!" Jiang Ziya shook his head.

"Why don't you go? Mr. waits for the widow, doesn't he want to go out of the mountain to assist the widow? And Mr. is full of wealth, but he lives in seclusion in this mountain wilderness, isn't he buried his talent?" Xibohou asked in surprise, originally he thought that this conversation, both parties were very satisfied, and it was a matter of course to go out of the mountain, but Jiang Ziya refused.

"Hou Ye governs Xiqi, Xiqi is in order, the people live and work in peace and contentment, Jiang Ziya goes, it may not be better than Hou Ye, it's just icing on the cake, what is the difference between going and not going?" Jiang Ziya said.

"That's right, what is that gentleman good at?" Ji Chang nodded and asked again.

Jiang Ziya is familiar with the Nine Heavens Xuanbing Records inherited by the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor back then!" Speaking of the soldiers, Jiang Ziya showed a confident smile.

"Okay! Ji Chang once again invited Mr. to go to Xiqi to train the soldiers and horses!

"Don't go!" Jiang Ziya shook his head again.

"What? or not going? Why is that?" Ji Chang is messy, he doesn't go here or there, how do you want to go?

"If it's peaceful today, Xiqi is only a subject country of the Great Shang, and it's useless to train troops!" Jiang Ziya said.

Ji Chang took a deep breath, then spit it out fiercely, and said in Jiang Ziya's ear: "Emperor Xin has no way, cronies and villains, killed Zhongliang, and killed the widow's son Bo Yi Kao, the widow and Emperor Xin do not share the sky, please ask the widow to implore Mr. to assist the widow and train the soldiers and horses for the widow, within ten years, the widow will definitely send troops against business!"

"Okay! Hou Ye has such ambitions, how can Jiang Ziya not go out of the mountain!" Jiang Ziya finally agreed.

"Okay! With the assistance of Mr., the widow will definitely be able to overthrow the tyrannical rule of Emperor Xin! Avenge my son! Please let the widow go with him!" Ji Chang was overjoyed.

"Hey, I've been sitting here for a long time, and I can't walk anymore!" Jiang Ziya said suddenly.

"It's okay, there is a car in the widow's place, please get in the car!" Ji Chang pointed to the car not far away.

"Okay, good, good!" Jiang Ziya agreed.

The two walked hand in hand to the car.

Jiang Ziya sat up, and when Ji Chang wanted to come up, Jiang Ziya held him down.

"What do you mean, sir?" asked Ji Chang incomprehensibly.

Jiang Ziya didn't make a sound, but untied the reins of the eight horses pulling the cart in front, drove the horses away, and then said, "Please ask Master Hou to pull the cart for the old man!"

"Bold! How can the king pull a cart for you, a mountain horseman?" the cronie next to him scolded loudly.

"Shut up!" Ji Chang yelled at his cronies, and then said to Jiang Ziya: "Mr. has this request, Ji Chang will naturally do it!"

After saying that, he began to pull up the car step by step.

He knew that this was Jiang Ziya's heart to test his love for talent, and if he refused at this time, Jiang Ziya would definitely abandon him.

Although Ji Chang is already over eighty years old, but in the flood wilderness, because the innate aura is very abundant, even mortals, as long as they are healthy, they can live to be more than a hundred years old, and their bodies are also very strong, pulling a carriage, although it is not easy for Ji Chang now, it is not too difficult.

Ji Chang pulled the carriage and walked forward step by step, at first he felt very relaxed, walking and walking, and suddenly felt that the carriage was like a boulder of 10,000 catties, and every step had to be done with all his strength!

After walking no more than two hundred steps, he began to run out of breath.

The cronies next to him hurriedly stepped forward to wipe his sweat, and looked at Jiang Ziya with a smile on his face full of resentment, eager to eat him alive.

When he walked two hundred steps, Ji Chang finally couldn't hold on, stopped and rested, and just when his cronies were about to help him sit down and rest, Ji Chang refused and continued to pull the car forward step by step.

However, Ji Chang, who had a huge physical exertion, was already difficult to persevere, and he gritted his teeth and persevered step by step.

In the end, Ji Chang really couldn't hold on, prostrate on the ground and gasped for breath, and said to Jiang Ziya intermittently: "It's really... Helpless, non... It's Ji Chang who doesn't want to... It's Ji Chang...... I really don't have the strength!"

"Master Hou really has no strength?" Jiang Ziya asked.

"Really... I don't have the strength..."Ji Chang replied.

"Okay, good, King Wen pulls the cart for 800 steps, and the Great Zhou Guozuo is 800 years old!" Jiang Ziya said with a smile.

"What do you mean by that, sir?" asked Ji Chang puzzled.

"The reason why Jiang Ziya asked Hou Ye to pull the car is not to humiliate or torture Hou Ye, but to test the national Zuo of the Great Zhou, the Hou Ye just pulled the car, and Jiang Ziya walked eight hundred steps to pull the car, so the national Zuo of the Great Zhou is also eight hundred years!

Among them, when he walked more than 200 steps, Hou Ye took a break, which means that there will be a fault in the middle, and there will be changes in the middle, but Hou Ye still persevered, and walked more than 500 steps, and the two want to add, about 800 steps, therefore, the national Zuo of the Great Zhou Dynasty is about 800 years!" Jiang Ziya explained.

"This ...... Why didn't Mr. say it earlier! If you had known that this was the case, let alone 800 steps, even 8,000 steps and 80,000 steps would be able to be pulled by a widow! Sir, can you continue at this time?" Ji Chang listened to this, regretted it, and hurriedly asked if he could continue.

"This is the will of heaven! Don't force it! Moreover, even if Hou Ye knows, he will not move forward again, you must know that what Hou Ye pulled just now was not Jiang Ziya alone, but the national fortune of the entire Great Zhou! The important weapon of the country, how can it be so easy to pull?" Jiang Ziya explained with a smile.

"Sir, since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, each dynasty and each generation of Guozuo has been thousands of years at least and as long as 100,000 years, why is it that when it comes to my Great Zhou, it is only a short 800 years?

Ji Chang knew that his country was only a short 800 years, and he was very depressed.

"I don't know about this! I only know about the world for a thousand years, but I don't know about this heavenly thing!" Jiang Ziya shook his head and pointed to the sky, meaning that this is the will of heaven.

"Alas, Mr. go back with the widow!" Ji Chang was a little depressed, got into the carriage, and walked towards Xiqi.
