Jiang Shang meets the woodcutter

When Qingxu heard what Song Yiren said, he couldn't help stroking his forehead and burst into a wry smile, thinking, "Today, Jiang Ziya disturbed the poor Taoist heart and even forgot to name his disciple and give him a magic weapon to protect him. After returning home, he must recite several volumes of "Huang Ting" to calm down. Tao Xin."

 Thinking of this, Qingxu turned around and said to Song Yiren, who was chasing him and standing behind him: "Master Song, this son has an innate Taoist body and is the darling of heaven and earth. Let's call him Song Tianqi." After saying that, he took out a bracelet from his sleeve. , handed a jade pendant to Song Yiren and said: "The owner of the village can keep these two things on Tianqi to keep him safe." After that, he left for the clouds.

 When everyone in Songjiazhuang saw Qingxu flying away in the clouds, they realized that the person who had just arrived was an immortal. They regretted not getting the reward from the immortals.

 Song Yiren returned home and explained Qingxu's origin. Everyone was shocked when they found out. Unexpectedly, the Taoist who cured the young master's disease turned out to be Taoist Lord Qingxu, the master of the Three Emperors.

 He was even more surprised when he heard that the young master had been accepted as a disciple by Taoist Lord Qingxu and named Song Tianqi. Unexpectedly, the young master would be so lucky to be accepted as a disciple by this world-famous immortal.

 It has to be said that the ancients were honest and simple. No one felt jealous when they found out that Qingxu had accepted Song Tianqi as his disciple. Instead, they were happy for the young master and thought that the village owner's usual kindness and charity might have moved the gods. This made Immortal Qingxu come to Songjiazhuang to cure the young master's illness and accept him as his disciple when the young master got sick.

 Everyone is determined to be a good person, and maybe if they do too many good things, they can benefit future generations.

 Qingxu did not expect that his actions today would make the villagers around Songjiazhuang more philanthropic. Tian's heart is the most fair. Although Qingxu did it unintentionally, after all, the villagers' good deeds came because of him, so Qingxu gained a little merit in vain.

 Not talking about Qingxu's cultivation of Taoism after returning to Wangwu Mountain, nor about Kong Xuan, Yuan Hong, and others, only Jiang Ziya, the man who was destined to become a god.

 After the death of his mother, Jiang Ziya left Chaoge and traveled around the mountains and rivers in search of immortals. In order to achieve righteousness and rank among the immortals,. However, he is the person appointed by God to become a god. This time, he is also the protagonist of the art of teaching, so he must worship Yuanshi Tianzun. Therefore, although he is extremely sincere towards Taoism, he has never met the fate of immortality.

 This day he came to an unknown mountain. The trees on the mountain are as green and straight as a fairyland.

 Jiang Ziya was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery between the mountains and rivers when he heard a song coming from the mountain: "Early in the morning, the lotus sickle went up the hillside and the sky was filled with stars at night. When you are thirsty, you will drink from the mountain spring. When you are tired, sit quietly and listen to the song of the birds."

 Jiang Ziya raised his eyes and suddenly a woodcutter wearing a short-sleeved sweatshirt walked out of the forest.

 The woodcutter walked up to Jiang Ziya, put down the firewood on his shoulder, and said, "How courageous are you, a scholar, that you dare to come here alone? There are bears, turtles, crocodiles, tigers, and other ferocious beasts in the mountains. I am the only one waiting for you." The woodcutter on the mountain road knows how to avoid the territory of wild beasts and avoid being eaten by wild beasts. Others would not dare to cross this mountain easily if they were not traveling together. You seem to have no strength to restrain a chicken, but you dare to enter the mountain alone.

 Hearing this, Jiang Ziya raised his hands to the woodcutter and said, "Thank you, brother, for reminding me to leave this mountain right now." After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

 The woodcutter pulled Jiang Ziya back and asked, "Don't leave yet. I live in the mountains and it's rare for anyone to come here. Now that you're here, you can chat with me. It will be safer if I take you out of the mountain later than if you go out alone."

 Hearing this, Jiang Ziya thought it was right and said to the woodcutter, "Okay, let's have a chat."

 The woodcutter was a talkative person. When Jiang Ziya agreed to chat with him, he put the firewood in his hand on the ground and asked Jiang Ziya to sit on the wood with him and drink from the clear spring.

 Then he asked: "What is your name? Where do you want to go and how did you get here?"

 Jiang Ziya smiled bitterly and thought, "This brother has too many problems." Thinking that he had nothing to hide about his purpose, he said, "Jiang Ziya is a Chao Ge person."

 As soon as he said this and was about to continue, he heard the woodcutter say: "You came from Chaoge. It is our great Shang country. I heard that it is extremely prosperous. The roads are paved with gold, and everyone wears damask." The business on Luo Silding Dunton Carnivore Street is extremely prosperous, but is it true?"

 Jiang Ziya chuckled and was about to answer.

 But I saw the woodcutter stand up and say with an angry face: "You are so unreasonable. I and other country people have never been to prosperous places like Chaoge. I just listened to what others said. Even if I am wrong, you don't need to laugh. Come with me!"

 Jiang Ziya was a little surprised when he saw the woodcutter standing up with an angry look on his face. After hearing what the woodcutter said, he knew that the woodcutter had low self-esteem and was extremely sensitive because he had never seen the bustling scene in the countryside and said quickly: "Brother, I didn't mean to laugh at you, I just thought that people in other places thought Chao Ge too well, so I laughed."

 The woodcutter glanced at Jiang Ziya and asked, "You really don't mean to laugh at me?"

 Jiang Ziya hurriedly said: "I have no intention of looking down on my brothers. If my brothers don't believe me, I can swear to you."

 Hearing this, the woodcutter said: "There's no need to swear, as long as you really don't mean to laugh at me. Just continue what you said just now."

 Jiang Ziya said: "Brother asked me about Chaoge just now. Although Chaoge is not as prosperous as his brother said, it is not much worse."

 The woodcutter said: "Is the road on the street really paved with gold?"

 Jiang Ziya was about to laugh, but then he remembered that the woodcutter was extremely sensitive, so he held back his laughter and said: "There is no Chaoge. The road is just paved with bluestone. It is indeed smoother than other places. It is true that the streets are also very prosperous, but in Chaoge City there are also poor people, some who eat and drink every day, some who don't have enough to eat, some who have piles of silk and satin, and some who are barely clothed."

 Hearing this, the woodcutter said: "It seems that everything is the same everywhere. There are rich people and there are poor people. I have a Chaoge. As the capital of the country, everyone is rich."

 Jiang Ziya said: "It's naturally the same, but the poor in Chaoge are better than those in other places. There are many rich people in Chaoge, and there are good people who will always give away some porridge, rice, and clothes. So although they are poor, they are better than the poor in other places. It's been a little better."

 The woodcutter said: "Oh, I have been saying this for a long time and you still haven't said what you came here for?"

 Jiang Ziya thought in his mind: "Didn't you ask me to talk about Chaoge? Why is it my fault again?" However, he could only think about this in his heart and did not dare say it out.

 After taking a look at the woodcutter, Jiang Ziya said: "I have always wanted to find immortals and visit Taoism, but I dare not leave my hometown because of Gao Tang. Three years ago, Jiaci saw his betrayal and Jiang went out to search for immortals. This is why you came here." "
