Although not many people had heard of Qin Tian back then, and many people had even seen the existence of the immortal with their own eyes.
But not long after, the world was in chaos, and everyone had too much time to take care of themselves. How could there be time to think about whether there were immortals in the world?
There are only a few people or villages who have actually seen Qin Tian with their own eyes, and only a few words have been passed down.
The legend of Qin Tian has been passed down, but more often it is mixed with other anecdotes and spread as bedtime stories.
Contemporary information transmission is extremely underdeveloped. Even if life has stabilized, a large number of people still die due to various accidental factors.
Counting throughout the Han Dynasty, the average life span of the people was only twenty-two years old. Even in peaceful times, they rarely exceeded thirty years old.
This does not include the number of babies who died in infancy.
Even the emperor, the average life span of all emperors in the Qin and Han Dynasties combined was only thirty-five years old.
This is true even for the Nine-Five Supreme Being, let alone the common people.
In Qin Tian's eyes, most of the people he saw in this era were children.
In this era when the average life expectancy is extremely short, all history and stories seem so illusory.
Although only fifty or sixty years have passed since Qin Tian retreated for the last time, the population has changed by three or four generations.
Most of those who remember his stories and saw him in person are no longer in this world.
It was precisely because he knew this that he was so surprised when he accidentally heard the legend about himself.
Under the erosion of time, the stories left behind have long been changed beyond recognition.
Listening to the descriptions of these people, it is simply an extreme exaggeration.
Qin Tian himself couldn't help but find it a little funny.
Moving mountains and seas, shooting the sun against the moon, living dead with human flesh and white bones, and immortality are all out of the question!
Was he so powerful back then?
Qin Tian couldn't help but smile.
"That Qin Shi Huang back then, Qin Shi Huang, you know..."
Qin Tian became a little more interested, and his face became more solemn. He didn't expect that the story between himself and Qin Shihuang was still widely circulated.
I don’t know who spread this news?
After all, only the two of them knew about his meeting with Qin Shihuang, but for some reason, even the common people on the roadside could tell him something about it.
But after listening for a while, Qin Tian couldn't help but laugh.
The man spoke so conclusively, as if he himself were present at the scene that day.
But the story is extremely outrageous. It is nothing more than a myth and legend about an immortal touching my head, tying my hair, and receiving immortality.
The man even started talking about Qin Shihuang's childhood, saying that the child received guidance from immortals when he was young.
"Then? Later, of course, Qin Shihuang was cruel and cruel, and was rejected by the immortal. From then on, he secluded himself from the world and practiced cultivation, and no longer paid attention to him."
"You all know what happened later. Gaozu killed the White Snake and revolted..."
Kill the white snake?
Qin Tian's heart moved slightly, but then he felt relieved.
After teaching Xiaobai how to practice, Qin Tian ignored him. Later when he walked in the world, he didn't pay much attention to Xiaobai.
But thinking about it, with Xiaobai's cultivation, he would not be killed by the ordinary Liu Bang.
But later he occasionally heard that the incident that Xiaobai caused in Da Qin was not a small matter, and the legend was widespread.
I think Liu Bang's rebellion against the White Snake may have been influenced by the world after hearing about Xiao Bai's deeds.
Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Xiaobai for a long time, and he had another spiritual pet. If there was a chance to meet, he might be able to introduce them to each other.
Qin Tian glanced at Xiao Huang beside him.
He asked the owner to prepare a small bowl for Xiaobai. The bowl was also filled with plain water.
Xiao Huang was probably thirsty because he hadn't drank water for a long time. Even when he felt Qin Tian's gaze, he didn't raise his head and continued to lick the water in the bowl.
Qin Tian couldn't help but stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiao Huang's head.
Xiao Huang narrowed his eyes, looking like he was enjoying it.
After smiling, Qin Tian got up and left after Xiao Huang finished drinking the water in the bowl.
After taking two steps forward, a young man stood in front of Qin Tian.
Qin Tian couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He has already restrained his aura. If he hadn't taken the initiative to speak, most people would never notice him.
Even in the teahouse just now, after the boss served him tea, he immediately forgot about himself.
But he didn't expect that someone would be able to find him now.
It seems that this boy must be somewhat different from others.
Looking carefully, this person is the one who was telling others stories about immortals in the teahouse just now.
"What advice do you have?"
Qin Tian bowed and asked slightly curiously.
"I just heard what I said about my experience. I laughed a lot. Do you think I don't believe what I said?"
The young man's eyes were bright and piercing, and he stared at Qin Tian seriously: "I don't know if I can give you any advice?"
Qin Tian looked carefully and found that this young man was walking like a dragon and a tiger, and his momentum was like a rainbow. He was really something extraordinary.
"Don't take it as advice." Qin Tian smiled slightly: "It's just...do you really believe in that immortal?"
"I would like to hear a detailed explanation." The young man raised his hand and said, "I would like to ask you to sit down and explain in detail."
Qin Tian was also somewhat interested in this young man, so he naturally had no reason to refuse.
Just because he has restrained his aura doesn't mean that others can't see him, but that ordinary people will subconsciously ignore him.
But those who are gifted or have powers of observation far beyond ordinary people will naturally notice something unusual about him.
Either intuition or keen observation, but no matter which one, this person will definitely have great achievements in the future.
So Qin Tian was also willing to have a few words with this person.
Although this young man was wearing civilian clothes and was mostly uninhibited when he was communicating with passers-by and friends, when he became serious now, he was polite and considerate, completely unlike a child from a common people's family.
"I thought that most of the so-called legends about immortals are far-fetched and spread by the common people. Most of them are not true stories."
"Bucai Guan, Your Excellency is very polite and knowledgeable. I think you must know the principle of three people becoming a tiger."
"It's as if what you just said is as true as if you were present in person. Could it be that you really know what happened when Qin Shihuang was a child?"
"Everyone in the world says Qin Shihuang is cruel and unkind. Is Qin Shi Huang really so cruel?"
A look of disapproval appeared on the young man's face: "If not, how could Bao Qin perish?"
Qin Tian smiled and did not answer, but told the young man a story.
"Suppose there is such a person who comes from an ordinary background, obviously from a commoner background, but does not engage in production and does not want to work in the fields. How should this person be evaluated?"
"You're a scumbag." The young man replied without hesitation.
"This man admired heroes and heroes, and later became a retainer of a hero's retainer. Unfortunately, that retainer later committed trouble and was wanted, so he returned to his hometown."
"However, this person has some talent. Later, he passed the examination and took a medium-sized official position. Although he has no rights, he is much better than his father who was born in civilian clothes."
"That's quite capable." The young man nodded slightly, expressing some recognition.
"What happened next? What happened to this person?"
"Later?" Qin Tian said with a bit of a smile, "Do you really want to listen?"
"Appreciate further details."
Qin Tian smiled and continued: "This man admires heroes. He is also uninhibited when he is the chief of the pavilion. He teases and teases county officials. He also likes drinking and sex. His reputation is quite bad."
"Shu Zi'er." The young man sneered: "Although he has a small talent, he has no great use, let alone great ambition. This person will definitely accomplish nothing!"
"It didn't take long for him to get into trouble, so he resigned from office and went home!"
"Don't worry, we haven't said that yet."
Qin Tian gently touched Xiao Huang's head: "Do you still want to continue listening?"
The young man had already been aroused by Qin Tian, and he was willing to give up now.
"Why are you teasing me? If you want to say it, then say it quickly!"
"Later, a friend of the county magistrate came to this small county to escape enmity. When people heard about it, they came to seek connections, and this person was no exception."
"Just to prevent unscrupulous people from coming to disturb us, the county magistrate's chief registrar announced that people who have paid less than a thousand dollars to congratulate him should sit down in the hall and cannot meet this person."
"That man has a romantic nature, makes friends, and spends money lavishly. How can he have any savings? What do you think he did?"
"you still want……"
"If you want to listen, please listen." The young man said impatiently.
"Don't try to titillate people. Tell me quickly."
"The chief clerk is also a gentleman. His status depends on how much money he has." The young man urged him not to forget to comment: "No one is a true gentleman!"
After all, it is the nature of a young man to be arrogant and arrogant. Even if he was polite just now, if he doesn't go according to his wishes now, his face will become a little more impatient.
Qin Tian continued with a smile.
"When this man arrived in front of the hall, he shouted loudly that he had brought 10,000 yuan! This made the guest very surprised, and he actually came out to meet him."
"This guest is not an elegant person. He takes the initiative to meet people and money when he sees them. It's despicable." The young man said disdainfully.
"and after?"
"What happened next, you all know what happened next."
Qin Tian said with a smile: "When the guest saw this person, he felt that he was quite extraordinary, so he immediately betrothed his daughter to him."
"Later, the world was in chaos, and this man killed the White Snake and revolted..."
"By the way, the name of the Shuzi chief clerk you mentioned is Xiao He. I think you have heard of his story."
The young man's face suddenly turned pale, then turned black, and then turned red again.
He still doesn't understand that what Qin Tian is talking about is the founder of the country, Liu Bang!
"You are teasing me like this!"
When he thought about how arrogant he had just spoken, he felt very ashamed and had no idea how he could say such words.
"What we are discussing is the legend of immortals. What is your intention in saying this?"
"The so-called stories are mostly like this." Qin Tian shook his head and said: "These deeds can naturally be traced. If you are willing to ask, you can naturally hear many legends!"
"But what is the truth? Is it true that when Gaozu was young, he was as miserable as the world said?"
"If that were the case, I'm afraid he wouldn't be as big a man as he is now."
"The stories and legends about Gaozu's living people are like this, let alone the immortals who have very few legends?"
"Suppose there is a common man who has not enough to eat all year round, and if a passing prince or noble gives him a meal, how do you think he will tell others when he returns?"
"A person who gnaws tree bark and eats grass roots will naturally feel that normal food is like delicacies. To him who is not fully clothed, the clothes worn by the nobles, don't they look as elegant as immortals?"
"He didn't understand why this kind of thing happened to him. After he went back, he had to tell people that he met an immortal giving alms."
"Three people become tigers. After the story was told by the person who originated it, the story has nothing to do with him."
"The story will only spread more and more widely, and the more it spreads, the more it will be divorced from the facts."
"In my opinion, most of the so-called immortal legends are like this." Qin Tian said lightly.
"The same story, if you look at it from the first half of Gaozu's life, you would think that this person was useless, but if you look at it now, you will see that he who achieves great things does not stick to trivial matters."
"In the eyes of that noble man, he just gave alms to a beggar, but when it comes to that beggar, he just feels like he has met a god descending to earth."
"Even if you see it with your own eyes, what you say may not be true, let alone what you hear from hearsay."
The young man's complexion improved a lot, and after a moment, he stood up and bowed deeply to Qin Tian.
"It's only now that I know I have learned a lesson."
"My surname is Huo and my given name is Qubing. I would like to accept you as my teacher!"
"Huo Qubing?" Qin Tian opened his eyes slightly, but he didn't expect that the person he met randomly on the roadside was actually the person he met!
"How old are you this year?" Qin Tian couldn't help but ask.
"Are you asking about your birthday?" Huo Qubing was a little confused and a little confused about Qin Tian's way of expressing it.
"It's not yet time for the crowning ceremony. He should be turning ten this year."
"Ten years old?" Qin Tian was slightly surprised.
He thought that this young man was not like a mortal, he could move as fast as a dragon or as fast as a tiger. He thought he must be fourteen or fifteen years old, but he didn't expect that he was only ten years old for such a tall man!
Sure enough, heroes have been somewhat different from others since they were young.
If he is so naturally brave, he will not be able to become that champion in the future!
"Apprenticeship..." Qin Tian smiled helplessly: "I have nothing to teach you, but apprenticeship is unnecessary."
"Master, if you feel that Qu Bing is arrogant and unwilling to teach, then Qu Bing would like to apologize for Master, please forgive me!"
Qin Tian suddenly burst into laughter: "I'm surprised, I just told you a few stories, why did you think of becoming your teacher?"
"The master is good at teaching, using things to illustrate principles, and using small things to see big things. It is really thought-provoking. I thought of becoming a teacher when I was cured!"
"It's just that I didn't follow the etiquette properly to get rid of the illness. I still hope that Master will wait patiently. After getting rid of the illness, I would like to go home. Please ask my uncle to bring a bundle of repairs and perform the apprenticeship ceremony!"
Although Huo Qubing is a young man, because of his uncle, he has been in the upper class since he was a child. He is literate and well-informed.
He is certainly not a stupid boy.
Some of the stories Qin Tian just told were heard by him, and some he had not heard of.
But Huo Qubing could hear that there were many things that the world didn't know.
To be able to tell this kind of story casually, this person must also have an extraordinary background.
In this way, even if I become a disciple, I don’t think my uncle will complain about it!
If there was such a master... Although Huo Qubing was young, he thought a lot.
Qin Tian did not hesitate and rejected Huo Qubing.
"Forget it about becoming a disciple. Your future does not lie with me. You should not limit your attention to me alone."
