With magical powers, I can quietly meditate on sutras for hundreds of years and become an immortal.

Chapter 58 The Ascension Society

Ma San, an honest farmer.

After all, I still chose to believe Li Zhen.

He exchanged his own old cow for his yak.

Then, he sold it to the manager of the bull market and got five taels of silver.

Can't tell whether I'm happy or not.

I bought some food and ruthlessly tore two feet of cloth for my mother-in-law, who had not had new clothes in many years.

Li Zhen, who looked like a homeless man to outsiders, returned home.

It’s not like no one advised him and told him to be careful.

The man was disheveled and unkempt.

Moreover, he was wearing a tattered Taoist robe.

Maybe he was a wild Taoist priest from some palace.

Bringing it home is asking for trouble.

It's just that Ma Santong didn't listen to all of this.

He believed what he saw.

Eyes don't deceive!

And a bad person will not have such pure eyes.

So, Li Zhen followed Ma San home.

On the edge of the oasis, there is a small independent courtyard.

There are some mulberry trees and fruit trees planted neatly behind the yard.

There are three low huts, a few chickens, and a black dog in the courtyard.

Simple, but full of life.

In this way, Li Zhen lived in Masan's house.

His tattered Taoist robe was also washed and mended by Ma San's wife.

Although it was fully patched when it returned to Li Zhen's hands.

But it was still strong and durable, and he was very satisfied.

In his spare time, he always had fun with Ma San.

He said that although his wife was a little darker, she was also a little stronger.

But she is an ingenious and rare good woman.

Marrying her will be your blessing in this life.

Ma San also always smiled and said nothing.

But Li Zhen could also tell it from the joyful look on his face.

This honest and honest farmer man is very happy in his heart.

And Li Zhen has not forgotten the serious matter of Ma San bringing him back.

To his six-year-old eldest son: Tiedan, Kaimeng.

Logically speaking, this is an area far away from the political and cultural center.

In fact, it is difficult for ordinary people to have the idea of ​​​​letting their children study.

At first, Li Zhen just wanted to find a place to make a living and didn't think much about it.

Later, I learned the reason from Ma San.

It turns out that the root of all this lies in the current Empress of Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Qing.

However, the foundation was already laid when she took charge of the military and political power of the Great White Kingdom.

During those years, she really did some practical things.

Cut various miscellaneous taxes, encourage mulberry farming, and expand scientific research.
  Let these ordinary people who grew up barbarically under the rough rule of the royal family in the past.

Really realized the benefits.

They trust Zhao Qing and sincerely recognize her as the ruling queen.

So, over the years, she was instilled with a set of theories, and she firmly believed in them.

That is, children from ordinary families want to change their destiny and become an official.

There is only reading, and only reading.

After Zhao Qing became the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Over the years, I have not been anxious to regain lost ground, but have worked hard to practice internal skills.

What she did in Dabai Gaoguo was adapted to the entire Dazhou.

The book is the same text, the car is the same track!
  After a war, almost the entire northern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed.

It was just a blank sheet of paper, allowing Zhao Qing to paint.

After the results in the north gradually became apparent, the powerful powers in various parts of the Central Plains naturally declined.

Of course, there are also cases where it is unbearable to be deprived of benefits.

A person who secretly took his family's wealth and fled to the south.

But what happens to these people?

Tsk tsk, don’t say it.

"Good guy, she's serious!"

Listening to these things, I have never paid attention to them since I left the capital.

Li Zhen opened his mouth wide.

It is obvious that Zhao Qing has the ambition to be the emperor for eternity.

But when I think of the image of that troubled girl who secretly hid in the library and liked to read the love stories of talented men and beauties when I was a child.

Then connect it with the image of the majestic and domineering emperor through the ages.

He couldn't help but shook his head, getting rid of this idea from his mind.

In fact, it is too inconsistent.

"Why were you so mean in the first place?"

"Isn't it enough to just write a love story honestly? It has to contain personal stuff."

Li Zhen felt a little regretful.

He seemed to be careless. In this world, a "monster" was released.

But then, think about it again.

It seems, seems, probably, not bad?

If that counts.

Wait until Zhao Qing achieves a great feat that has never been achieved by his predecessors.

Then he can be considered an emperor master more or less!

He doesn't want to be a national teacher.

But the Imperial Master doesn’t seem to be unable to do it.

With a flash of inspiration in his head, Li Zhen planned to return to the capital in the future.

I had the opportunity to ask Zhao Qing if he recognized it.

As for now, he still has to think about how to train a child who hates dogs.

Wicker, pointer, or penalty copying.

one by one.

I can always control this naughty boy.

Educate him into a pillar of the Zhou Dynasty.

"The ignorant Zen master is not averse to wine and meat, and he is fond of women. He can be called a devil of lust."

"Taoist Master Wentian loves charity. He once melted the golden body of Taoist Ancestor and used it to do good deeds to others."

"Sanren Ji Donglai has a nasty habit. He likes to run around naked in the dark. The more people he discovers, the more excited he becomes."

Snapped!
  He closed the "Strange Martial Arts" in his hand.

"It's all about what."

"Why do these great masters of martial arts seem to be a little out of their minds, just like all things."

Li Zhen muttered.

When he suddenly raised his eyes, he saw Tiedan lying on the sand practicing calligraphy, looking at him furtively.

Seeing that he found out, he quickly lowered his head and pretended to write.

"The first explanation of the pronunciation and rhyme, I will copy it three times today."

Glancing at him, Li Zhenpi smiled.

"Don't, don't, Master Li!"

Tiedan was anxious.

A pair of dark eyes were spinning in their sockets.

In my mind, ghost ideas came to my mind.

"I was just thinking about what name you would give me, Master Li. I was just distracted for a moment."

Farmers are superstitious and think that if their children are born with a bad name, they will be able to make a living.

Only when they grow up will they pay someone with high moral integrity or knowledge to name them.

Now that Li Zhen is here, there is no need to do this.

Ma San also handed over this important matter of Tiedan's life to him.

"What matters to adults, what do children get involved in? Practice your calligraphy."

Li Zhen glared at him.

But I saw that he became stubborn:

"It doesn't matter!"

"If Wang Ergou and Zhang Quandan were like others, I would rather die."

"Master Li, you must think about it carefully."

Tie Dan looked serious.

Li Zhen curled his lips and ignored him.

People are as big as little devils.

Speaking of which, he really hadn't thought about it.

But it’s still a long time, just think about it slowly.

It takes two or three years for a young child to become enlightened.

Since he promised Ma San, Li Zhen will not break his promise.

Besides, I am used to the cold life in Chuixiang Tower.

He suddenly felt that the life of the farmer now was.

It seems that there is no interest in it either.

Living in other people's homes, carrying other people's babies.

Hey!
  As time passes, time turns.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Ma San was supposed to be busy in the fields.

Suddenly rushed home in a hurry.

Pulling Li Zhen to enjoy the shade under the tree, he was out of breath:
  "Brother Li, a group of people are coming outside."

"Looking for someone with a long beard and tattered robes."

"I'm afraid it's not for you. Go and hide. If you find me, I'll just say I haven't seen him before."

Li Zhen, who was shaken awake from his sleep, looked confused.

He touched his smooth chin and looked at his smooth robe.

Long beard, rotten robe?
  Are you sure you are talking about Pindao and you did not recognize the wrong person?
  Just as he was about to say goodbye, there were rapid footsteps outside the courtyard.

Then, a burst of energetic shouts came:

"A certain family is one of the thirty-six cave masters under the Xingxiu Palace!"

"On this occasion, the Immortal Ascension Conference, which happens only once in thirty years, is about to begin."

"On the order of the Palace Master, I am sending the Immortal Order to Grandmaster Li!"
