The next day came the official day of apprenticeship.
Zhang Jiao attached great importance to this ceremony. He had a high platform built on the school grounds. In addition to the city defenders, all the generals and commanders in the city were present. Zhang Jiao also changed into a brand-new Taoist robe, and had someone prepare a brand-new one for Zhou Yuanfu in advance.
As expected, the man relied on the clothes and the horse relied on the saddle. Both the master and the disciple looked in high spirits.
"Since I founded Taiping Dao, I have recruited countless disciples, and my disciples and disciples are all over the world. Now I accept Zhou Cang and Zhou Yuanfu as my disciple to pass on the mantle! I now give the staff to Zhou Cang. Seeing the staff is like seeing me myself! I hereby declare to all directions!"
Everyone was in an uproar. Everyone knew that Zhang Jiao was accepting disciples today, but they didn't expect that he would even give Zhou Cang the nine-section staff. This was simply Shang Fang's sword.
Zhou Yuanfu stepped forward and knelt down, raising his hands to meet the staff. He felt strange in his heart. The staff looked like a dog beating stick. The scene was similar to the leader of the Beggar Clan taking office. The nine-section staff was green all over, and its tentacles were warm and cool.
The material is neither wood nor gold nor jade, but rather similar to the synthetic materials of later generations.
After the apprenticeship ceremony was over, a banquet was held and everyone drank and ate meat.
Zhou Yuanfu returned to his mansion with Zhang Jiao.
As soon as he entered the house, Zhang Jiao became an old man with no energy left.
"Master indeed has great supernatural powers. He is full of energy in front of others, but he is also very sick behind others. Please teach me this skill in advance."
Zhang Jiao said angrily: "I can't teach you this skill. When you reach my position and hundreds of thousands of people live and die in a single thought, you can do it."
"Isn't Master just pretending? You are really sick."
Zhang Jiao waved his hand and said, "I know you have many questions in your mind. I accept you as my disciple today because I want to explain these things to you clearly."
"Where to start?" Zhang Jiao continued thoughtfully, "Let's start with that adventure. There was a severe drought in Jizhou that year, and the three of us had to wander around in other places aimlessly..."
Zhang Jiao fell into deep memories.
The three brothers have traveled too many roads, climbed many mountains, and crossed many rivers. One night, just like any night the three brothers spent, the only difference was that the night was very dark. The three brothers were in a cave.
After spending the night, they felt a faint light coming from the depths of the cave. The three of them followed the cave and entered a basin surrounded by mountains.
The basin is filled with various items. According to Zhang Jiao, these are gifts from the gods.
"The gods must have designated me as the chosen one!" Zhang Jiao looked determined.
"What are the supplies?"
"Elixir! Lots of elixir!"
Zhang Jiao said proudly, and solemnly took one out of his arms.
Zhou Yuanfu took it and looked at it and exclaimed: "Capsule?!"
"What capsule? Although this elixir cannot bring the dead back to life, it can still be counted as a living person. Some patients have ulcerated wounds that cannot be cured. They can be cured in just a few days after taking it."
Zhou Yuanfu thought to himself that this was almost as effective as anti-inflammatory drugs.
"Over the years, we have soaked the elixir in water and given it to the sick. Unfortunately, there is not much left, and the effect of the medicine is not as good as before."
Zhou Yuanfu smiled bitterly, leaving it for more than ten years, regardless of whether any medicine would expire, it would be good if he didn't kill anyone.
"Is there anything else?"
"There is another book." Zhang Jiao said.
"Book? The Art of Peace?"
Zhang Jiao shook his head, took out a book from his arms and handed it over.
"The writing in this book is weird, but after many years of study, I basically figured it out."
Zhou Yuanfu flipped through the book and was shocked. It turned out to be a book with simplified Chinese characters. It was estimated that Zhang Jiao would have about the same difficulty reading simplified Chinese characters as he did reading traditional Chinese characters. He quickly browsed the book and returned it to Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao asked curiously: "Yuanfu has the ability to read ten lines and have a photographic memory?"
"This is ancient Chinese history. I had a headache when I first learned this. However, the Three Kingdoms section was specifically deleted from it, which is really strange."
"I've also noticed this. There are nearly a hundred years missing from this book. This can be regarded as a secret that cannot be leaked."
"This hundred-year history is the most critical. This book is useless to you. It would be more cost-effective to buy more anti-inflammatory capsules."
"No, this book is of no use to you, but it is of great use to me. Have you forgotten where you came from? If I hadn't made a mistake in summoning Zhu Yuanzhang, I guess we wouldn't have met now. Everything is
It’s destined by God.”
Zhou Yuanfu thought to himself that he was just a bug, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
"When I first studied this book, I felt it was a little tasteless at first, but it was not until recently that I made a major discovery. There is a sandwich in the cover of the book!"
As he spoke, he took out another piece of tissue paper.
The sky is dead, Huang Tian should stand, the great summoning technique of Taiping Dao...
"See? This is the key to this book."
Zhou Yuanfu looked carefully and finally knew the reason why he came here. It was a summons word.
"This is the summoning spell. You see below, the summoning carrier must be a person who is immortal after being struck by lightning. It is easy to find someone who is struck by lightning, but it is more difficult to survive after being struck by lightning. Do you know why I always say that you are also the chosen one?
?”
Zhou Yuanfu nodded, everything was fate and nothing could be controlled by others. It was estimated that Zhou Cang was just the right carrier, but he was summoned by accident.
"Is there anything else?" Zhou Yuanfu asked unwillingly.
"There is one more thing, but it's a pity it's been damaged." Zhang Jiao said sadly, stamping his feet.
"This object can predict the weather, and no matter where it goes, it can accurately predict the weather in that place within fifteen days. It is simply a magic weapon."
"Where is it? Bring it to me and see."
Zhou Yuanfu was very curious when he heard it, and it turned out that this was how he controlled the wind and rain.
"Didn't I tell you that it was damaged? One time we encountered heavy rain... It was all because of the teacher's lack of skill. I didn't know that this thing belongs to fire and is afraid of water, so it can't be used after being soaked in water. We later baked it with strong fire, hoping
I could make it resonate, but who would have thought it would burn with the fire and eventually turn into ashes? What a pity, what a pity."
"So you won't be able to call the shots now?"
Zhou Yuanfu thought to himself that it would be a pity that you losers would roast such a good thing over fire. It was probably a precision instrument that had been short-circuited after being soaked in water.
"Then there must be something else useful? Encyclopedia? Seeds? Computers? Guns and ammunition?" Zhou Yuanfu was a little desperate.
"If there is anything, do I still ask you for it? There is one more thing, I have already given it to you."
"Wand?"
Zhang Jiao nodded.
Zhou Yuanfu hurriedly took the staff and looked at it carefully, and suddenly realized: "No wonder you carry this nine-section staff every day."
"Now it can only be called an eight-section staff. Since I summoned you, I found that one section of the staff is missing. It is estimated that one section is consumed for each person summoned. Don't underestimate this staff. This staff can help
You take the general's head out of an army of ten thousand horses!"
