Zhang Lu and Lu Quan whispered for a while, "Okay, let's take care of our own affairs!"
"Happily, without further ado, you will withdraw your troops tonight. With this warrant, the officers and soldiers on Micang Road will not intercept you."
Zhou Yuanfu said as he took out a warrant. The warrant had Zhou Cang's autograph and the staff's seal of "Ruyi".
"Wait a minute, what if we withdraw our troops and take back the position of headmaster, but you change your mind?"
Lu Quan asked coldly.
Lu Quan was afraid that Zhou Yuanfu would regret it, and Zhou Yuanfu was also afraid that Zhang Lu would regret it.
"Otherwise, since you and I both belong to the Taoist sect, let's swear together in front of the Patriarch of Sanqing, okay?"
Zhou Yuanfu had already prepared. If he said he would swear an oath in front of Second Master Guan, the other party would probably be confused. However, if he said he was talking about the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty, all Taoist sects should know about it.
"The Patriarch of the Three Purities? What is the Patriarch of the Three Purities?"
Zhou Yuanfu despises you, you have the nerve to claim to be the successor of Taoism, even the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty doesn't know about it.
"The Patriarchs of the Three Qing Dynasties don't know about it, so the Four Imperial Guards don't know about it anymore? The Eight Immortals don't know about it either? Ancestor Hongjun?"
Zhou Yuanfu asked a series of questions, and Lu Quan and Zhang Lu looked at each other in confusion.
"Then your Five Pecks of Rice Sect must have some faith, right? Are your ancestors the only ones worshiped at your desk?"
Zhou Yuanfu finally said helplessly.
"Oh, yes, we have this. We worship the Patriarch Taishang Laojun. The Patriarch passed down the Tao Te Ching and ascended to heaven..."
Zhang Lu felt that he was deflated just now, and now he is trying hard to show off his talents.
"I understand, I understand. No need to say more, please bring out Lao Jun's tablet. I will swear an oath in front of Lao Jun's tablet. Is this okay?"
Both Lu Quan and Zhang Lu felt that this suggestion was acceptable. Anyone who violated their oath would be basically cast aside by Taoists all over the world.
Zhang Lu was naturally full of piety, but Zhou Yuanfu just followed the example and thought to himself, if you really exist, Taishang Laojun, please reward me with a few elixirs.
After the ceremony was completed, Zhang Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "General Lei Gong, what are the Three Pure Ones and Four Imperial Guards you just mentioned?"
"Sanqing" refers to the three scenic spots where the gods live, namely the Holy Land of Yuqing, the True Realm of Shangqing, and the Fairyland of Taiqing. It also refers to the three gods living in these three places, namely the Taiqing Emperor Daode Tianzun.
, that is, Taishang Laojun, and Yuqing Emperor Yuanshi Tianzun and Shangqing Emperor Lingbao Tianzun, these three gods are..." Zhou Yuanfu stopped mid-sentence, "Your grandfather and father did not teach you
What?"
"Well, haha, this, it's really..."
Zhang Lu smiled awkwardly.
Seeing Zhang Lu's confused look, Zhou Yuanfu wondered in his heart, this Taoist disciple didn't even know how many gods there were. But he didn't know that it was already the Jin Dynasty when the term Yuanshi Tianzun appeared, and Lingbao Tianzun had to go further.
Later, the improvement of the immortal system was also carried out slowly.
"By the way, your grandfather has become an immortal, right? Your father has also become an immortal?"
Zhang Lu said proudly: "Yes, my grandfather lived for 122 years and then became an immortal. My father lived for 84 years and then ascended to immortality in the daytime."
Zhou Yuanfu said a long "oh" in a long tone and looked Zhang Lu up and down again.
"Both old men are very strong. Do they have children in their fifties or sixties? It's really enviable that there are pear blossoms on the same tree as the begonias. Since there are so many people in your family who are in the Immortal Class, they must all be rushing to come.
I tell you, you don’t need me to worry about it.”
Zhang Lu's face turned dark when he heard this. After all, he had something to ask for but dared not speak out. At this time, Taoism had just emerged and many theoretical systems had not yet been perfected. Zhang Lu was naturally very concerned about such things.
"General Lei Gong, since our two religions are going to be unified, you should also teach your children some real skills." Lu Quan said from the side.
Zhou Yuanfu was very impressed by what he said. Lu Quan regarded himself as an equal and asked him to teach Zhang Lu well.
Zhou Yuanfu was still bearing his hatred for Lu Quan. He glanced at Lu Quan, swallowed silently, and pretended to say: "It's too late today, you'd better withdraw your troops overnight. After all, I don't have the final say in Hanzhong.
To prevent accidents from happening. Besides, the knowledge my master taught me is quite complex and cannot be explained in a short while. After you obtain the master's instruction, I will not be too late to teach you again."
Zhang Lu also knew the truth of what Zhou Yuanfu said, so he could only sigh and remain silent.
"However," Zhou Yuanfu added, Zhang Lu listened carefully as soon as he heard that there was room for change in this matter, "If you are really anxious, then you can ask Madam to stay and study with me."
When Zhang Lu heard that this was the idea, he immediately shook his head, "How is this possible? Can I ask my brother Zhang Wei to follow you?"
"Zhang Wei? That's the stupid young man. That won't work. With his temper, if I get angry and kill him with one knife, you have to ask for someone else. Madam is different. Madam is gentle, virtuous and very smart.
, you will definitely learn quickly, don’t you think so, Mrs. Lu?”
After Zhou Yuanfu finished speaking, he winked at Lu Quan.
"Okay, since General Lei Gong sincerely invites you, I will come to your house to bother you for a few days."
"Mother, you must not do it. After we take over the position of head teacher..."
"Don't worry too much. General Lei Gong is also a gentleman. He will definitely not embarrass a woman like me, don't you think so?"
Lu Quan asked Zhou Yuanfu calmly, his voice full of warning.
Zhou Yuanfu burst out laughing, "Madam, what you said makes sense, and we can take as many days as you want."
Zhou Yuanfu snickered in his heart. Although he didn't dare to take advantage openly, he could always do some homonymous rhetoric secretly.
Lu Quan and Zhang Lu didn't know Zhou Yuanfu's little thoughts, but seeing Zhou Yuanfu's wretched smile, they could guess a good deal.
"In this case, I will wait outside the tent. After all, you mother and son will have to be separated for a few days, and we can talk about ourselves."
Zhou Yuanfu said with a wink, and then left the tent.
"Mother, how can you go to him? Although he swore an oath to me in front of Lao Jun, he doesn't look like a gentleman."
"How can I not know whether he is a gentleman? You also know what I am capable of, so there is no need to worry about me." Lu Quan said calmly.
"Then can mother use any means to deal with him? He has no way?" Zhang Lu finally expressed his doubts just now.
Lu Quan slowly recalled it and said doubtfully: "He was about to hit the road just now, but suddenly he woke up. I was also very surprised. But don't worry, although this guy is not a gentleman, he doesn't dare to take advantage of me.
Well, it seems that he is still very afraid of me." After saying that, he took Zhang Lu's hand and said, "I am quite worried about you. I don't know how the old thieves will humiliate you after you go back, especially when the barbarians join the war. He
I must have known it too."
"Don't worry, mother, I will deal with the old thief. Since mother has made the decision, be careful in everything."
Lu Quan turned around to leave, but stopped and said, "After Gong Qi turns back, be sure not to take action blindly. You must be patient for a while longer and wait until General Lei Gong and I return before taking action."
"Don't worry, mother, I will act by ear and won't be rash."
The two chatted some more about family matters before leaving.
When Lu Quan came out, he saw Zhou Yuanfu counting the stars out of boredom. He walked up to him and chuckled: "General Lei Gong is still so elegant?"
Zhou Yuanfu said with a smile: "I was watching the stars at night, but you interrupted me when I didn't want to."
Lu Quan was dubious and said, "Do you really know how to observe the stars?"
"Of course." Zhou Yuanfu patted his chest and said, "Want to learn?"
Lu Quan saw Zhou Yuanfu's wretched smile, and said coldly with a straight face: "If General Lei Gong sincerely teaches me, Lu Quan will be grateful. But if General Lei Gong is deliberately teasing me, I will go back with Gong Qi.
"
Zhou Yuanfu saw that Lu Quan had become an iceberg beauty again, so he pretended to be serious and said: "Of course I know everything and explain everything, but if you can't learn it, you can't accuse me of not teaching carefully."
"That's natural."
"Come on, let's learn while walking. It's almost freezing if you stand in this damn weather for a while. Fortunately, it's a cold night today, which is a good time to learn about the stars. Let's start by getting to know the constellations. You see, the seven stars in the northeast are called the Big Dipper.
Seven stars, you see, they look like a big spoon when connected..." Zhou Yuanfu pointed.
Lu Quan was serious about his studies. As expected, he was very talented and quickly found the seven stars. "Well, there really is one that looks like a spoon. The handle of the spoon now points to the north."
