Chapter 25: The Story

Sure enough, it came!

When he heard this question, Zhou Ang was both relieved and a little happy.

This is the fundamental intention of his choice to lose the car just now.

In fact, when he decided to join the ranks of official cultivators, he carefully analyzed - can a wild cultivator who joins halfway get the absolute trust of his superiors and colleagues?

It's almost impossible!

Your origins are not innocent enough, especially the origin of the step you took to become a practitioner, it is difficult to explain clearly!

However, this kind of origin determines everything else, and it is an important issue that cannot be omitted in the interrogation that he is bound to face in the future!

If the person who guided you to the beginning and helped you become a practitioner is also of unknown origin, or even highly suspicious, or even worse, maybe a person who is on the official practitioner's internal wanted list, how can you, as his disciple, be trusted?

Therefore, I had to prepare a particularly true and credible story to tell the person who interrogated me.

That is, to the upper echelons of Taizhu Temple.

Once this story is established, there is nothing to doubt about one's origin, and once one's story is not established, then continue to have an unclear originβ€”don't talk about going up at that time, even if you want to continue to mingle with the official practitioners, I am afraid that it will no longer be possible.

This is an inventory procedure that is inevitable for a powerful official organization, and it cannot be avoided!

Compared to this, whether he has mastered a certain strange spell, or has shown some strange ability since he was a child, is a trivial matter.

The world is so big that there are no surprises, so the origin determines everything.

In fact, in recent times, Zhou Ang has also been working hard to conceive the story of becoming a cultivator, and every time he chats with Du Yi, Fang Jun and others, he gains a little useful information about the official cultivator, or the entire practitioner world, and Zhou Ang will fine-tune his story.

It wasn't until last night that he read the Book of Han that he had a new idea.

The fifth chapter of the Book of Han, "Emperor Wu Ji" records: The emperor succeeded to the throne at the beginning, and heard that there were immortals among the people who said that Huangshi Gong, who lived 600 years, sent people to visit him, and when he met, he was extended to Dengque, and the emperor said: You are immortals?

It is also recorded: In October, the imperial decree banned the world's obscene shrines.

It is also recorded: (In the spring of the following year), in February, the emperor set his sights in the temple, and the horses were left in the temple, and they all did not dare to speak, and the emperor said: "I, the lord of the world! God is me, I am God, I am God, not where I live, what is the temple?

What does this mean? This is a great thing that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did when he first ascended the throne -- it means that when he first ascended the throne, he heard that there was an old immortal named Huang Shigong in the world, who was already 600 years old, so he sent someone to find him and asked him: Are you an immortal? How did you become an immortal?

Huang Shigong didn't know whether he didn't dare to provoke him, or he didn't want to do much, anyway, he replied a little cowardly: I'm not an immortal, I'm just good at communicating the qi of heaven and earth. So Emperor Wu was very happy, ordered him to be allowed to go back, did not embarrass him, and gave him some cloth.

In October of that year, Emperor Wu took advantage of the situation to order that all the so-called "obscene shrines" such as temples and Taoist temples that were not officially recognized in the world should be banned.

Combined with the context, this is obviously connected with his Q&A with Huang Shigong, Huang Shigong should not have dared to harden his anal and coward, so Emperor Wu immediately pursued all the things related to immortals in the world.

And then, it seems that the effect is good, Emperor Wu in the spring of the second year, in February, rode a horse to the temple - Zhou Ang felt that this should be the same place as the temple repeatedly mentioned in the previous emperors in the "Book of Han", and in the front, several emperors of the Han Dynasty were respectful to the temple - Emperor Wu was not respectful, but the horse stepped on the temple, and the "Book of Han" also recorded vividly, saying that Emperor Wu's horse pulled a bubble of on the main hall of the temple, which was said to be almost humiliating, but the people of the temple were " I don't dare to speak". Then Emperor Wu bragged about his orthodoxy, and then ordered the temple to be "broken" before going down the mountain.

Zhou Ang found these accounts very interesting.

From the foregoing, the emperors of the Han Dynasty before the dynasties all respected the temple, every time they went to the temple, the commonly used word was "white clothes", after coming out, often "great joy", indicating that the temple in those years, the status was really extremely respected, even if it was the emperor of the Han Dynasty after the unification of the world, he was proud to be recognized and supported by the temple.

But by the time of Emperor Wu, the national strength of the Han Dynasty should have reached its peak, and Zhou Ang guessed that Emperor Wu should be a cultivator, and his strength should be extremely high, so he excluded and expelled all other cultivators in the world, so he suppressed Huangshi Gong, destroyed other obscene shrines, and stepped on the temple.

In the later text of "Emperor Wu Ji", there is even the full text of Emperor Wu's essay reprimanding the Dragon King and ordering him not to wantonly stir up wind and rain and disturb the people, and according to the record of "Emperor Wu Ji", in the following decades, the world was really smooth.

If this record is not bragging, it means that the Dragon King is also cowardly in front of Emperor Wu.

This record in the "Book of Han" brought Zhou Ang great inspiration - how powerful Emperor Wu is, and without discussing it, at least one thing is certain, that is, Emperor Wu is a character who dares to fight against any force and any immortal in the world, and basically wins all of them!

In other words, of course he is the enemy of the world!

And the current situation in the world, the Han State is the suzerainty of the world, and although the other seven countries are established sooner or later, they all admit that they are originally courtiers or vassals of the Han State.

But in fact, the relationship between the Seven Kingdoms and the Han Kingdom has always been quite tense, and it has always been antagonistic, and every few decades, there is a big fight.

And the monarchs and ministers of the Han State did not want to reappear the mighty and domineering spirit of Emperor Wu back then, and they did not want to re-unify the world for a moment - therefore, the current Han State is still the common enemy of the world!

Then the fun comes, as long as it is hostile to the Han State and rejected by the Han State, theoretically it will not be rejected and hostile by other countries - the enemy of the enemy is my friend.

And back to the present, Huang Shi Gong was cowardly, and there was no record of him after that, last night Zhou Ang also deliberately went to look at the table of contents of the "Book of Han" at the top, in the biography after the Ji, Zhi, Table, etc., there is an entry in the biography of the immortal Fangshi, but there is no name of Huang Shigong in it, which shows that the character of Huang Shigong, "Han Shu" did not give him a biography at all.

After he left Emperor Wu's palace, did he die, or did he live in seclusion?

Unknown.

So Zhou Ang thought: It has been 800 years since this happened, and if Huang Shigong is still alive, he should be 1,400 years old, which is almost impossible! Even if he lives to this point, he will be 1,400 years old...... There is a high probability that he will not notice that such a small person as himself has made up his mind on him.

So the situation is that no one can be sure that he is dead, and he can be assumed to be dead.

From here, Zhou Ang once again adjusted his "story".

............

"I ...... I don't really know what my master's name is......"

Zhou Ang still looked indifferent, but he frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and only after a while did he say: "I met my master on the same bridge, and I was studying in Chang'an at that time......

"Chang'an, did you go to study under Mr. Du Zishan in Duling?"

When Zhou Ang heard this, he said in his heart: Sure enough, he had already mastered my information as much as possible before he came!

At this time, of course, Zhou Ang would not show anything wrong, nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Yes, at that time, a group of our classmates went to Chang'an City to play, and they all went to buy paper and pencils. When I was standing on that bridge and looking at the scenery, I noticed that my master was sitting on the railing, barefoot, so I went over and asked him what was wrong. ”

"Which bridge?

"I don't remember...... No, I didn't know what the bridge was called. I only remember that the south of the bridge is a Taoist temple. I forgot what it was called. ”

"Well, okay, you go on......"

"I ...... I asked him what was wrong, and it was a good intention, but my master was very angry at the time, and said that you, a young man, can't you see that my shoes fell under the bridge?

"I was very aggrieved, but seeing that he looked old, I still managed to go under the bridge and help him pick up his shoes! I saw that he really had a spring and autumn season, and he should have difficulty moving, so I had to help him put on his shoes. Then my master was very happy and told me that his surname was Huang, saying that he felt that he was pure and kind-hearted, and that he wanted to take me as an apprentice and teach me the art of cultivation. ”

"Later, he became my master. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Ang stopped in a daze and looked up at Chen Wu.

Chen Wu was already a little stunned when he heard this, but his expression was extremely cautious, and he asked, "The old man...... I mean, Master, what does it look like? What do you usually call him? Do you know his name?"

When Zhou Ang heard this, he responded: "My master's appearance is ancient and clear, he is very tall, taller than me......! It's the kind of appearance that makes people feel like fairy wind bones. He claimed to be surnamed Huang. I call him Master. My master said that his name was 'Shi Gong'. Stone of stone. ”

"Huang ...... Shi Gong?" Chen Wu was surprised.

Zhou Ang nodded, with a blank face, and said, "Yes." Huangshi Gong. But then I inquired everywhere, and no one had heard of a cultivator named Huang Shigong in this world. So I think it's probably a fake name that my master told me. Moreover, after he taught me spells, he never appeared again. Before leaving, he told me not to mention his name in front of anyone. And he never allowed me to call him Master. ”

This time, Chen Wu's face was full of caution, so cautious that he even hesitated for a long time.

After a long while, he asked again, "What did your master teach you?"

"He taught me...... Opening. He said it was called enlightenment. I was enlightened, and Master said that I had become a practitioner. Then he taught me the method of breathing and breathing, and also told me that to be diligent in refining the body, it is best to learn the art of fighting. ”

"Anything else? Did your master say something that impressed you?"

He said...... Oh, he said that after I become a practitioner, I must remember not to use it at will, not to kill innocents indiscriminately, but to uphold my original intention and do more good deeds. I have always followed his old man's teachings. ”

"What's your master's name?"

"My master's surname is Huang, and he himself said that he was called 'Shi Gong'. Stone of stone. ”

"Hmm...... And then, Zixiu, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Zhou Ang thought for a while and said, "Then...... I came back and continued to practice according to Master's instructions. ”

Chen Wu nodded slowly.

After a while, he finally smiled and said, "Then let's do this first!Zixiu, forget everything you just answered." I didn't ask any of that, and you didn't say anything. We just chatted normally about your identification of Wang Guo, and you mentioned that you have the ability to backtrack, and you have passed my review. ”

"Zixiu, wake up!"

"Gao Xianzhu, wake up!"
