Let’s talk about Jiang Ziya leaving Kunlun Mountain.
His parents have long since died, and he has no brothers, sisters, or relatives.
His family situation is a typical protagonist template. An online novel about an orphanage.
"The Romance of the Gods" is from the Ming Dynasty. The setting of the protagonist is also in line with the setting of online novels in modern society. It can be seen that the routine of Xianxia is widely used and has endured for a long time.
The world is huge and there is a huge sea of people. Jiang Ziya left his master's school and didn't know where to go for a while.
After thinking for a while, he remembered that there was a sworn brother in Chaoge named Song Yiren.
"There is nowhere to go, so why not pay a visit to this brother first." Jiang Ziya made up his mind and escaped to Chaoge.
Although he spent forty years in Kunlun Mountain, he didn't learn anything. He still learned some Five Elements spells.
Jiang Ziya is seventy-two years old at this time. Song Yiren is Jiang Ziya's sworn brother. How old is Song Yiren? Is he still alive? Did the people of the Shang Dynasty live so long?
Under normal circumstances, Song Yiren should have passed away.
Then, the descendants of Song Yiren encountered difficulties, and Jiang Ziya arrived just in time to rescue them. He turned the tide and allowed the descendants of Song Yiren to worship Jiang Ziya.
After that, he kept causing trouble for Jiang Ziya, allowing Jiang Ziya to gain opportunities while solving the troubles, steadily improve his strength, and finally become an immortal.
This is the routine of online writing.
but,
"The Romance of the Gods" is not this routine.
Chaoge.
Thirty-five miles outside the south gate, there is a Songjiazhuang.
This is Song Yiren's residence.
Jiang Ziya Tutu escaped and didn't have much time.
He took a casual look and found that after decades, the scenery here was still the same, but the trees were more dense.
Jiang Ziya walked to the door of the Song family and asked the doorman, "Are your family members outside?"
"Who are you?" The doorman was very polite.
"I'm Jiang Ziya."
"Please wait a moment." The doorman did not let Jiang Ziya come in directly. He went to report to Song Yiren.
Song Yiren was settling accounts in the room.
He is a well-known businessman in Chaoge.
He is quite old, but he is still doing business and settling accounts. He is really not an ordinary person.
"Master, there is a man named Jiang Ziya looking for you outside." The doorman said.
"Jiang Ziya?!" Knowing that it was Jiang Ziya who was here, Song Yiren didn't care about settling accounts and hurried to the door, "Xiandi, you...haven't heard from you for decades!" Song Yiren was very excited to see Jiang Ziya again.
"Brother, Jiang Shang is polite." Jiang Ziya nodded. He was wearing Taoist robes and used Taoist etiquette.
"Come in quickly, I haven't seen you for decades, I miss you so much." Song Yiren took Jiang Ziya's hand, and the two old men helped each other into the house.
The two of them bowed to each other and sat down.
"My dear brother, these past few decades, I have always thought of you. I am so lucky to see you again today, so lucky!" Song Yiren looked happy. He is not young anymore, and it is a great joy in life to see his former sworn brothers again in his lifetime.
"It has been forty years since I left my dear friend and went to Kunlun Mountain to study art. I thought I would be able to achieve success in my studies, but unexpectedly I was not lucky enough to have any chance of becoming a fairy, so I had to go down the mountain.
It's really a blessing for Jiang Shang to come to my dear friend's place today and see him again. "Jiang Ziya was also a little emotional. He studied in Kunlun Mountain. Although he didn't learn anything, he also lived longer.
Song Yiren is a mortal, and it is rare for him to live such a long life. Jiang Ziya felt very lucky to be able to see Song Yiren again.
Song Yiren ordered his servants to prepare wine and food, and asked, "Xian brother, do you have any taboos?"
Jiang Ziya said: "My dear friend, I am a member of the Taoist sect. I need to abstain from alcohol and meat, and just eat vegetarian food."
"I heard that at the Peach Blossom Fair in the Sky, there is also Yaochi Jade Liquid and Cave Mansion's fine wine. It shouldn't hurt my dear brother to have some wine." Song Yiren said. He is indeed a businessman, and he also has a way of persuading people to drink.
Jiang Ziya nodded, "My dear friend, I'll just have some wine."
Soon, the food and wine were ready.
Song Yiren and Jiang Ziya were eating, drinking and chatting.
"Brother Xian, what have you learned from your forty years in Kunlun Mountain?" Song Yiren asked curiously.
"On weekdays, you do more carrying water, watering pine trees, planting peaches, lighting fires, fanning stoves, and refining elixirs." Most of the things Jiang Ziya did in Kunlun Mountain were done by little Taoist boys. He was not well trained. Just use it as a child.
When Song Yiren heard this, he smiled and said, "This is what servants do, what kind of Taoism do you want to learn?"
"I also learned some rudimentary Taoist skills such as Feng Shui and fortune telling." Jiang Ziya is relatively modest and doesn't have much Taoist knowledge. Although he was the least effective among the second-generation disciples of Chanjiao, he had studied in Kunlun Mountain for forty years and learned a lot, making him much better than ordinary people.
"Feng shui? Fortune telling? These are of great use. In the future, I will find a shop to open a fortune shop for you so that you can settle down and start a career." Song Yiren was thinking about the future for Jiang Ziya.
"Then I'll trouble you, dear friend." Jiang Ziya did not refuse. He didn't know what to do for the moment, so he might as well do what he could do first.
The two old men chatted for a while.
Song Yiren said: "The ancients said: 'There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having an offspring.' Dear brother, I am your brother. Tomorrow, I will find a marriage with you. In the coming year, we will give birth to a boy and a half girl, which can be regarded as a blessing to the ancestors of the Jiang family. As explained.”
Jiang Ziya hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "My dear friend, this is inappropriate. I am a monk and cannot marry a wife."
"There's nothing wrong with that. Now that you've come down from the mountain, it's time to get married, have children, and enjoy family happiness." Song Yiren said.
The two old men chatted until late at night, and Jiang Ziya stayed at the Song family.
The next day.
Early in the morning.
Song Yiren rode a donkey to Majiazhuang to help Jiang Ziya find a marriage.
There is a horseman in this Majia Village.
This horseman is also a very old man.
He is one generation higher than Song Yiren.
He has a daughter, who is sixty-eight years old and is still a young lady.
"Xianqi, what are you doing here?" Ma Yuanwai asked as he came outside the gate. Xianqi means virtuous nephew.
"My nephew is here to discuss marriage with your daughter." Song Yiren directly stated his intention.
The horsemen were very happy when they heard this.
Why?
Because no one wants his sixty-eight-year-old girl.
At this age, even in modern society, no one would want her.
Now, someone finally comes to discuss marriage, which is a good thing.
"Xianqi, who do you want to tell your little girl to?" Ma Yuanwai hurriedly ordered his servants to serve tea.
"This man is from Xuzhou in the East China Sea. His surname is Jiang, his given name is Shang, his courtesy name is Ziya, and his nickname is Fei Xiong. He and his nephew are sworn brothers. When he was thirty-two years old, he went to Kunlun Mountain to study art. Forty years later, After completing his studies, he came down from the mountain and now lives in my house. Soon, he will open a life hall and settle down in Chaoge." Song Yiren briefly introduced Jiang Ziya.
"Since we are sworn brothers, we are trustworthy. He and my daughter are of the same age, so this marriage is feasible." Ma Yuanwai readily agreed.
"Thank you so much, Uncle Ma. This is the betrothal gift." When Song Yiren came, he had already brought the betrothal gift, four platinum ingots, and immediately gave it to Ma Yuanwai.
The horsemen took it away and asked people to prepare a banquet to entertain Song Yiren. The two discussed the details of the marriage in detail.
evening.
Song Yiren returned to Songjiazhuang.
I happened to meet Jiang Ziya who was doing nothing.
Jiang Ziya asked, "Brother, where have you been?"
Song Yiren looked delighted and said, "Congratulations, good brother."
"Where does joy come from?"
"My dear brother, today I went to Majiazhuang to arrange a marriage for you, and it has been settled. In a few days, you will marry the daughter of Ma Yuanwai in Majiazhuang."
"Ah? But..., today is a bad time." Jiang Ziya is good at telling fortunes, and he knows that today is not a good day for getting married.
"There are no taboos in matters of marriage, and everything will be auspicious." Song Yiren said with a smile.
"This..." Jiang Ziya didn't know what to say.
"My dear brother, the horseman's nickname is Ma Hong. He has a daughter who is sixty-eight years old and has never been married. She is still a young lady. She is both talented and beautiful. She is a perfect match for my dear brother. She is a match made in heaven."
Jiang Ziya didn't refuse anymore and actually agreed.
Why did Jiang Ziya agree to the marriage?
Doesn't he know that people who cultivate immortality generally don't get married?
Look at the second-generation disciples of Chanjiao, who is married?
No.
So why did Jiang Ziya agree to get married?
Because Jiang Ziya knew that his path to immortality had been cut off.
He is loyal, but not a fool.
What Yuanshi Tianzun said is very clear.
Jiang Ziya cannot become an immortal, so he can only enjoy the wealth and honor of the world.
In this case, there is nothing wrong with Jiang Ziya marrying a wife and having children in the human world.
Soon.
Jiang Ziya married Ma, opened a life shop, and lived a happy life.
Of course, quarrels between couples are inevitable.
In "The Romance of the Gods", before Jiang Ziya opened his life shop, he tried to do business several times, but lost all his money. I won't mention it here.
This day.
Song Yi and Jiang Ziya came to the back garden of the Song family.
Why come here?
It's because there is something evil here.
"Brother, I have built houses here several times, but they all caught fire inexplicably. I don't know why?"
"Brother, just build the house again. If anything evil happens again, Ziya will definitely deal with it."
Song Yiren believed Jiang Ziya's words.
Soon ground was broken to build a house.
When the beams were being erected, something strange happened.
I saw strong winds, flying sand and dust, and there was a gray sky in front of me. There was a fire, and there were demons and monsters in the fire shadow.
Seeing this, Jiang Ziya didn't panic and opened the altar. Holding a long sword in his right hand and pinching the magic formula with his left hand, he shouted: "You are so bold and evil, you are causing trouble here, why don't you come here and die!"
Rumble, a burst of thunder. But it was Jiang Ziya who used palm thunder and other spells.
Jiang Ziya's spells are quite effective against ordinary monsters.
Amid the thunder, the five monsters fell down and knelt in front of Jiang Ziya, saying, "Sir, please spare your life. You little beast didn't know that the God was coming. Please atone for your sins." The five monsters kowtowed repeatedly.
】
"Why are you burning down the house?"
"Shangxian Rongzhen, I have practiced here for many years, and later the Song family moved here..." The five monsters explained.
It turns out that this is where five monsters live.
Later, Song Yiren built a house here, which was regarded as occupying the place of five monsters.
These five monsters did not do any other evil things. They just prevented Song Yiren from building a house in the back garden so that they would not lose their place to live.
"In this case, I can spare my life, but you are going to stay in Xiqi Mountain temporarily and wait for my order." Jiang Ziya planned to subdue five monsters and let them build the God Conferment Platform in the future.
"Yes." The five monsters had no choice but to agree, and then went to Xiqi.
…
There is a lively place near the south gate of Chaoge.
Jiang Ziya's life center is here.
There are several couplets posted on the door of this fortune shop.
On the left is: Just a mysterious theory.
On the right is: Don't say that it is ordinary.
Inside the Ming Guan, there are two pairs of couplets.
One said: An iron mouth can see through the evil and good fortune in the world; two strange eyes can see the defeat and prosperity in the world.
The second saying is: The universe is great in the sleeve; the sun and the moon are long in the pot.
Jiang Ziya has been opening a shop here for several months, but no fortune teller has come. It has never been opened.
This day.
Xiao Sheng passed by the Mingguan.
I saw Jiang Ziya inside, reading with nothing to do.
Then walked in.
"Is the guest here for fortune telling, or..." Jiang Ziya stood up and was about to ask when he suddenly froze.
He looked at Xiao Sheng blankly, "I dare to ask, but Jie Jiao Xiao... Mr. Big Dipper?"
Jiang Ziya knew about Xiao Sheng.
Everyone in the three religions basically knows about Xiao Sheng.
In terms of seniority, Jiang Ziya is Xiao Sheng's uncle.
However, Jiang Ziya did not dare to offend him and called him Xiao Sheng's nephew, only Big Dipper Lord.
"Jie Jie Xiao Sheng, I have met Master Jiang." Xiao Sheng nodded. He knew Jiang Ziya. When he went to explain his teachings, he also met Jiang Ziya, Shen Gongbao and others.
"I don't dare." Jiang Ziya hurriedly returned the greeting.
The two of them sat down humbly.
"Uncle Jiang, why do you open a life hall here?" Xiao Sheng asked.
"Well, I...according to Master's order, I went down the mountain to prepare for the matter of becoming a god." Jiang Ziya was a little embarrassed. He did not dare to say that he was unlucky and had no chance of becoming a fairy. He could only go down the mountain and enjoy the wealth and honor of the world.
Xiao Sheng nodded, "It turns out that Master Yuanshi asked Uncle Jiang to complete the matter of becoming a god." He didn't ask much about the matter of becoming a god.
"Mr. Big Dipper, what are you doing here?" Jiang Ziya was very polite to Xiao Sheng. He heard a lot about Xiao Sheng and admired Xiao Sheng very much.
"I have been traveling in the human world, and I happened to pass by this place today. It was nothing important." Xiao Sheng was indeed passing by. He didn't come to Jiang Ziya specifically.
"Mr. Big Dipper is so happy and free." Jiang Ziya was a little envious of Xiao Sheng. He knew that Xiao Sheng had achieved success in cultivation and was a man of enlightenment. Live forever and never have to re-enter reincarnation.
"With all due respect, Master Jiang's cultivation level is...somewhat..." Xiao Sheng planned to point out Jiang Ziya's low cultivation level.
"Alas..." Seeing Xiao Sheng's failure in cultivation, Jiang Ziya sighed, blushing a little and said, "I am dull by nature, and I have wasted forty years in Kunlun Mountain, and my cultivation has made no progress."
"Uncle Jiang, don't worry. If your cultivation progress is slow, you can find some pills to take." Xiao Sheng suddenly had an idea to help Jiang Ziya cultivate and become an immortal. I wonder if there is any merit in doing so?
Jiang Ziya is a person who has been enshrined as a god on behalf of heaven. Helping Jiang Ziya should be a great meritorious deed. Xiao Sheng planned to give it a try. There would be no harm in doing it anyway.
"Elixir? Well, I don't know how to make an elixir..." Jiang Ziya also wanted to take the elixir, but he didn't have it.
This is the world of the gods, not a world like "Mortals' Cultivation of Immortality". There is no trading market, and you can't buy elixirs.
"Uncle Jiang, I do know a little about the method of alchemy, and I also have some elixirs for improving cultivation." Xiao Sheng said this and took out a bottle of three-turn golden elixir from the storage space.
This third-turn golden elixir was refined by Xiao Sheng in his spare time. The elixir recipe comes from Laozi and is in the same system as the nine-turn golden elixir. However, the difficulty of refining the third-turn golden elixir is much smaller and Xiao Sheng can easily refine it. Xiao Sheng is still exploring the Nine Transformations Golden Pill and cannot yet refine it.
Those below the level of immortals can take the third-turn golden elixir to greatly improve their cultivation level.
"This is the third-turn golden elixir I refined. If Uncle Jiang doesn't dislike it, just accept it," Xiao Sheng said.
"This..." Jiang Ziya hesitated. He wanted it, but he didn't know whether he should want it or not.
"Uncle Jiang, don't worry too much. I learned these three-turn golden elixir from my ancestor Laozi. If you accept it, it'll be fine." Xiao Sheng gave some advice.
"So, thank you Lord Big Dipper." Jiang Ziya took the elixir and bowed solemnly. At this moment, he realized that the only person who was really good to him seemed to be Xiao Sheng in front of him.
When he was on Kunlun Mountain, his cultivation was slow, but no senior brother gave him pills.
According to rumors, Xiao Sheng is an excellent person.
He has great merits for the human race.
Today, when he met in person, Jiang Ziya was immediately impressed.
He felt that Xiao Sheng was a truly virtuous immortal.
Paying silently in the world for hundreds of years is something that no one can do.
"There is no need to be polite. Our three religions are one and we should help each other." Xiao Sheng could somewhat understand Jiang Ziya's helplessness.
Jiang Ziya is a grassroots person.
He wants to practice and become an immortal.
However, I am not destined to be immortal.
This is what Yuanshi Tianzun said.
Why is life so bad?
Probably because he has no backing or background.
In fact, no matter what dynasty or when, people with no background, no backing, and low-born people are considered to be ill-fated.
People who are unlucky can think that many things they do are unlucky.
