Prehistoric: Lord of the Nine Heavens at the Beginning, the Mythical Kunpeng

Chapter 315 King Wen invites Jiang Shang to the Wei River

When Wu Ji heard Jiang Ziya's question, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "The villain is just a woodcutter. He is mortal with naked eyes. He doesn't know that you are an old god."

"I offended you by using my words that day, please don't be offended!"

"Now that I accidentally killed the gate officer, King Wen sentenced me to pay for the gate officer's life."

"It is not a pity for me to die, but I have an old mother at home who needs to be taken care of. If I die, my mother will definitely not survive."

After saying that, he kept kowtowing.

Jiang Ziya was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "This is your fate, how can I save you?"

Wu Ji burst into tears and kept begging Jiang Ziya to save his life.

When Jiang Ziya saw that Wu Ji was pious and wanted to live, it was indeed to support his mother, so he felt compassion.

He also saw that Wu Ji was destined to be rich and noble, so he thought of saving his life.

"Wuji, if you want me to save you, it's not difficult. If you worship me as your teacher, I will save you."

When Wu Ji heard this, he immediately bowed his head and worshiped.

Jiang Ziya helped Wu Ji up and said, "Since you are my apprentice, I will naturally save you."

"In this way, when you get home, dig a hole as long as you and four feet deep in front of your bed."

"At dusk, you go to sleep in the pit, and ask your mother to light a lamp above your head and under your feet, grab two handfuls of rice, put it on your body, and cover it with weeds."

"When you wake up the next day, it's fine. You can do whatever you want."

When Wu Ji heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and went away with many thanks.

After returning home, Wu Ji's mother saw Wu Ji coming back with a smile, and hurriedly asked Wu Ji what the result of looking for Jiang Ziya was.

Wu Ji conveyed what Jiang Ziya said to his mother. After hearing this, Wu's mother was also overjoyed and arranged for Wu Ji to dig holes and light lamps.

At the third watch of the night, Jiang Ziya let his hair down, held a sword in his hand, and performed the sword skills for Wu Ji.

Early the next morning, Wu Ji came to the Weishui River to see Jiang Ziya.

Seeing Jiang Ziya, Wu Ji immediately bowed down and thanked Jiang Ziya for saving his life.

Jiang Ziya told Wu Ji: "Since you worship me as your teacher, you must listen to my teachings."

"Don't take too long to chop wood. From today on, chop less wood. Come to me at noon and I will teach you the art of war."

"Now, of the eight hundred princes in the world, four hundred have rebelled. I watched the sky at night and found that it won't be long before Xiqi will also use his weapons."

"If you study the art of war with me and work as an official, wouldn't it be much better than chopping firewood?"

After Wu Ji heard this, he was convinced. From that day on, when he had free time to chop wood, he studied the art of war with Jiang Ziya.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

San Yisheng was furious when he saw that Wu Ji did not come back to surrender.

Thinking about Bukit, I understand that he has an old mother at home who needs support, so I asked him to go back and take care of the housework, but he never came back?

This cunning person must be caught and severely punished.

Thinking of this, San Yisheng came to the palace and told King Wen: "Your Majesty, Wuji killed the gate official. I see that he has an old mother in his family who needs support. I will give him half a year to deal with the mother's affairs before coming back."

"Now, Wu Ji has no way of seeing the king. He won't come back for half a year. Please do some calculations and find out where Wu Ji is."

When King Wen heard this, he immediately took out the money and made a fortune.

After a long while, King Wen said slowly: "Wuji was not a cunning person. He was afraid of being punished, so he jumped into the abyss and died."

"Speaking of which, Wu Ji killed the gatekeeper. It was an accidental injury. It was not a fight and killing. The crime was not worthy of death, but he died because of fear of punishment. It is really pitiful." San Yisheng heard that Wu Ji was dead, so he said no more. .

Immediately, San Yisheng seemed to remember something and said: "Your Majesty, when we were building the spiritual platform, you dreamed of flying bears at night, which indicated that Xiqi would get a pillar of talent."

"Now that the weather is nice, let's go out and see if we can find this worthy person."

King Wen nodded in agreement, and San Yisheng immediately resigned and went to arrange the visit to the wise man.

On this day, King Wen left the palace in a carriage, accompanied by San Yisheng, Nangong Shi and others.

Walking near the Weishui River, a group of fishermen came over singing songs.

King Wen listened to the fishermen singing and felt that the rhythm was strange and melodious, and it did not look like the handwriting of ordinary fishermen.

Immediately, King Wen called San Yisheng over: "The songs sung by these fishermen have strange rhythms. There may be talented people living in seclusion nearby."

San Yisheng immediately stopped several fishermen and asked them where they learned this song.

When the fishermen saw San Yisheng and asked about it, they didn't dare to hide it. They said that there was an old man singing this song by the Wei River. They heard it often and learned it.

King Wen immediately followed the fishermen's instructions and headed towards the Weishui River, hoping to find the Great Xian.

As I was walking, I saw a man carrying a load of firewood and singing as he walked.

San Yisheng saw it and could tell at a glance that this person was Wu Ji.

San Yisheng was immediately furious and ordered the guards to capture Wu Ji.

"Wuji, I kindly let you go home to deal with your old mother's affairs, but you actually left and never came back?"

When King Wen heard this, he was immediately surprised. Through the hexagrams, he calculated that Wu Ji had jumped off the cliff and died. How could he be alive now?

Seeing that he was caught red-handed, Wu Ji no longer concealed anything. He knelt on the ground and told the story in detail.

"That time, the villain, after beating the gatekeeper to death, he went to ask an old man what to do."

"The old man's surname is Jiang, his name is Jiang Shang, his given name is Ziya, and his Taoist nickname is Fei Xiong."

"That's the idea he gave to the little man. Let him sleep in a pit with a lamp on top of his head and under his feet, and cover his body with grass."

"Master Chitose, I really couldn't trust my mother, so I listened to that old man's words."

San Yisheng sat on the horse and was immediately excited when he heard Wu Ji's reply: "Your Majesty, the person Wu Ji mentioned, whose Taoist name is Fei Xiong, should be the wise man we are looking for."

"I think it's better to pardon Wu Ji and let him take us to find Jiang Ziya?"

After hearing this, King Wen nodded.

He came out this time just to find the wise minister in his dream. Now that he has received the information, how could he not be overjoyed?

Immediately, he ordered Wu Ji to quickly find Jiang Ziya.

However, Jiang Ziya entered the bamboo forest, but there was no trace of Jiang Ziya. Wuji was anxious and searched everywhere, but still couldn't find him.

King Wen asked, did Jiang Ziya have any other place to live?

Wu Ji took King Wen to a hut.

King Wen knocked on the door gently, and a child came out and opened the door.

King Wen smiled and asked, "Is your teacher at home?"

The boy said that the teacher was away traveling and he didn't know when he would be back.

San Yisheng heard this and knew that Jiang Ziya didn't want to see King Wen.

So, he immediately proposed to King Wen: "Your Majesty, I heard that in ancient times, when wise kings invited wise ministers, they needed to fast and bathe."

"Why don't we go back and come back after fasting and bathing?"
