This King Zhou is not stupid

At this time, an old man dressed in fine clothes came out from the yard. As soon as he saw Song Ren, he immediately ran over excitedly and hugged him.

"My good grandson, I miss Grandpa to death, hey? Why does this one look so familiar?"

"Grandpa, this is Jiang Ziya, do you have any impression?"

"Jiang Shang!"

The old man remembered immediately, he got up and hugged Jiang Ziya, crying.

"So it's you. I haven't seen you for decades. You've aged a lot!"

"You're a lot older, too."

"Come on, come on, quickly enter the house. I am preparing a banquet to welcome the grandchildren. Now I will ask the kitchen to add some dishes. We two brothers have a good chat."

Everyone entered the house. Jiang Ziya, a brother in Chaoge, owns many properties. He has a small fortune and a prosperous family. Once he enters the house, he can see many children.

Among them was the kid who made fun of Song Ren just now.

"Song Ren, you are too slow."

"When the teacher teaches me to engrave volley formations on objects, you will never be able to catch up with me."

"Hey, but I'm faster than you now."

The two children played and played, but they didn't hurt their peace.

There are also a few children who are also supernatural. When one of them picks up his finger, the wooden bowl flies into the air;

Jiang Ziya looked at these children and felt something in his heart.

Maybe Master let him go down the mountain, and it has something to do with the changes at the bottom of the mountain.

After Song Ren made a joke, he said with a serious face: "Song He, Song Qing, Song Ming, you three get up quickly and pay respects to this Master Yuxu."

"Hey, no need, no need." Jiang Ziya quickly stopped him: "I'll talk about this later, let's eat first."

Chapter 48: The heart of Ziya changes with the changes of the world

Jiang Ziya's old friend is called Song Yiren. He has some industries in Chaoge, including restaurants, grain trading and other industries. This was a profitable industry in ancient times.

After drinking for three rounds, Song Yiren couldn't help asking: "Jiang Shang, where have you been all these years?"

"Oh, I have been studying art in West Kunlun for forty years, and my master told me to go down the mountain to find my way out. The world has changed a lot now."

"Of course, the king is a sage now."

As soon as Song Yiren mentioned his good life, he couldn't help but praised: "I am very familiar with an official Chaoge. According to him, the government of the Great Dynasty is never vacant, and those ministers are worried. I wish the King would not go to the court to rest. one day."

"It's a good thing that your Majesty is diligent in governing." Jiang Ziya retorted.

"A good thing is a good thing, but because the king is too diligent, the ministers are exhausted."

"This..." It was the first time Jiang Ziya heard that the king who was too hardworking was not good. "Does the current king have political achievements?"

"Have."

I saw Song Yiren talking eloquently: "Your Majesty changed the mysterious bird into a dragon to ensure good weather in all directions; promote education and teach children fairy arts; eliminate locust plagues and protect tens of thousands of acres of grain fields in the north; reform salt so that every family can eat fine salt. You said that the king has political achievements."

"It is true that there is Renming... Wait, you said to change the black bird into a dragon?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"What's wrong."

Jiang Ziya even stood up excitedly.

"This move has changed the fate of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, how can it be achieved!"

"Master Uncle's words are wrong." Song Ren stood up, first bowed his hands and saluted, and then retorted: "Xuanniao loses morality and can't protect the people. The north is drought and the south is flooding, and the king has no choice."

"Drought in the north and flood in the south, you should worship the sky and pray for rain at the altar." Jiang Ziya said an answer that was also the correct answer.

Unfortunately, these are sensitive times.

"Master uncle, do you know about the Great Tribulation of Conferred Gods?"

Of course Jiang Ziya didn't know, he looked like a member of Yuxu sect, but Yuanshi Tianzun didn't tell him about the list of gods.

At least not yet.

"What is the Conferred God Tribulation?"

"Chengtang will perish, Western Zhou Dynasty will prosper, Fengming Qishan, the dynasty will change."

"This statement is outrageous, it must not be spread!" Jiang Ziya never thought that a child would dare to say such a thing.

Song Yiren quickly opened his mouth and let Jiang Ziya step down.

"Brother Ziya, don't get excited. You just came down from the mountain and you don't know much about the world. These words were announced by the king, and all people know."

"Really? Then I'm being serious, sorry, nephew."

"It's okay, uncle, I will continue."

Although Song Ren is young, he has learned a lot of etiquette and literature knowledge in the school, and his age is indeed approaching eighteen, so he is very mature.

He continued to explain: "Since the uncle knows that this remark is treasonous, it can be known that the Heavenly Court deliberately sows up Yin and Shang courtiers for the Great Tribulation of Conferring the Gods, and wants Xibohou to rebel. The wheat seedlings were drowned and died of drought. How could there be a good harvest? Later, the Heavenly Court sent the God of Locusts to bring disasters. Fortunately, the sages of the King and Empress Nuwa protected the human race. "

After hearing what Song Ren said, Jiang Ziya was a little unhappy.

"Heavenly Court is in charge of the Three Realms, do you have evidence for that?"

"All the people in Xiqi City have seen Fengniao leave a letter, and the letter is still with the king. I will not make up a lie to deceive the uncle."

This is what Di Xin is good at.

He only said things that were beneficial to him, and Tianting, Chanjiao, and Empress Nuwa naturally couldn't come forward to refute because of their face.

The most important thing is that everything he does has a positive impact. Even if the heavens are unhappy and know that he is suffering, he can only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. He absolutely dare not argue with him.

Otherwise, the following scenario will appear.

[Tianting: Di Xin, why did you accept me as a plague of locusts.

Di Xin: Did the plague of locusts come from heaven?

Tianting: So what? !

Di Xin: There is no way in the heavenly court, and it harms all beings. Today I want to do justice for all people, and I have turned against this heavenly court! 】

When Wanmin knows that the plague of locusts came from heaven, they will not be so angry that they will pick up farm tools and smash the group of people to death. In the eyes of Wanmin, food will be greater than the sky.

If you are hungry for one meal, your heart will panic; if you are hungry for two meals, your eyes will shine; if you are hungry for three meals, your face will look like a beast;

"But I still don't think it's appropriate to change the mysterious bird to a dragon."

"Uncle Master's words are wrong. If the king loses his virtue, the whole world will turn against him. This move is in line with the way of heaven. It will be famous for generations to come. It will be passed down through the ages. Now that Xuanniao loses his virtue and the king is against him, why is this wrong?"

Jiang Ziya was stunned, he was speechless by what a child said, but he really couldn't refute.

Yes, the king loses his virtue, the world can turn it back, and the black bird loses his virtue, why can't he turn it back?

Going on, that would really be absurd. In modern terms, it would be a 'double standard'. Talking about others is following the way of heaven, while scolding others is forgetting one's ancestors.

Heh, Jiang Ziya wanted to laugh.

There is also the catastrophe of conferring gods in the heavenly court. Jiang Ziya plans to ask his master when he returns to Kunlun Mountain in the future. If it is true, the heavenly court is too much.

Sowing discord, this is the way of a villain!

"Thank you, nephew, for clarifying the confusion. My uncle just came down from the mountain not long ago, so he doesn't know much about the world." Jiang Ziya cupped his hands and saluted slightly, which was a bit big for a junior.

"It's okay, my uncle has practiced for many years and has never gone down the mountain. The disciple is just helping my uncle to solve my doubts. I have no other intentions. I hope my uncle can understand the conflict. Don't think too much about it." Song Ren immediately returned a salute and bent down He bowed his head and cupped his hands, he would not forget etiquette.

"That's natural."

"OK OK."

Song Yiren saw that the conversation between the two parties was almost done, and while feeling in his heart that his grandson had grown up, he stood up and said, "Don't talk about state affairs at the dinner table, just eat and drink well."

The banquet continued again, but Jiang Ziya felt more emotional.

That night, Song Yiren arranged a room for him, but he couldn't sleep, so he went to the backyard to relax and think about the trivial things in his heart.

The backyard of Song Yi's family is very large, with weeping poplars and pine trees in two places, a hundred flowers blooming under the peony pavilion, and koi leaping in the lotus pond.

At this time, Jiang Ziya saw Song Ren standing in an open space, holding a gossip wooden plate in his hand, with a puzzled face.

"Nephew, what are you doing standing here?"

"Ah, Uncle Master." Song Ren saluted hurriedly, and Jiang Ziya saluted back.

"Is such that."

Song Ren looked at the open space in the backyard again, which was large enough to build a tall building.

"Grandpa said it's weird here. Every time a building is built, it will be burned. Let's take a look."

"us?"

As soon as the words fell, Song He sprang out from the soil.

"I've seen it, and there's nothing unusual about it."

On the other side, Song Qing, who had just turned 11, also came from a corner of the yard.

"Brother, there is nothing related to fire here."

"That's strange." Song Ren scratched the back of his head, looked at the gossip instrument panel and said, "This is a place of geomantic omen. If you build a building, you will definitely have official luck, but why are you always burned?"

Jiang Ziya looked at the three children. Although they were still young, he seemed to see an infinite future from them.

He laughed out loud at the time, and the three children looked at him.

"Why is Master Uncle laughing?" Song Ren asked puzzled.

"Uncle Master laughed at you for being young and promising. This place is indeed a treasured place of geomantic omen. If the building is burned, there must be an evil spirit. You tell my old friend to let him rise the building, and I will help him suppress the evil spirit."

"Yaoxie!" The three children were surprised and delighted.

"Except for a few teachers at the school, we haven't seen any evil spirits yet."

"I've seen it before. One of us was eaten by a big fish monster in the Yellow River. Thanks to Teacher Hong Jin's quick shots, I really want to catch the monster."

"Go, go and tell grandpa about getting up the building, and catch the evil spirits."

The three children left happily. Jiang Ziya looked at the back of them leaving, and his eyes were moist for a while.

[Disciple Jiang Shang hopes to learn art and seek Taoism at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, bless the common people, eliminate demons and defend Taoism. 】

He seemed to think of his voice when he was just asking for the Tao.

At that time, he also longed for immortals.

Chapter 49: Jiang Ziya catches monsters in public

Song Yiren immediately chose a day to get up, while Jiang Ziya sat in his home.

That night, the three children hid in the house and peeked out, only to see Jiang Ziya sitting in the Peony Pavilion, looking like a fairy.

"Wow, Uncle Shi is so handsome, as handsome as the teacher." Song Qing said with a look of admiration.

"It's nonsense, the teacher of our array cultivation, Our Lady of Golden Light, is much prettier than my uncle."

"That's right, isn't our teacher Hong Jin handsome?" Song He said dissatisfied.

"I just think it looks better with a beard." Song Qing shrank her head aggrieved.

This is, a gust of wind came from the sky, mixed with fire, and went straight to the pavilion.

Song Ren hastily used his wisdom eye technique, saw the wind and fire in the sky, held a mahogany sword, turned over and jumped out of the Peony Pavilion, chanting formulas in his mouth.

"Where is the evildoer? How dare you trespass on a private house!"

Jiang Ziya swung the peach wood sword violently, separated the wind and fire, and saw five goblins in the wind and fire, in red, white, black, green, and yellow colors. When they saw the peach wood sword in Jiang Ziya's hand, they panicked.

They immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"The immortal, spare your life, the immortal, spare your life."

"What five ghosts, you don't practice meritorious deeds, but destroy people's buildings and buildings repeatedly, what is your intention!"

"I was just waiting on impulse. Master Wang took pity on me that it is not easy for me to cultivate, so please spare my life."
