The next day, Jiang Shang arrived at Gua Stall early and saw that Liu Qiao had already opened the door and hung up the banners.
Walking into the hall, the tables, chairs and benches were wiped clean and tidy. As soon as he sat down, Liu Qiao came up to him with tea that had been boiled for a long time. He couldn't help but be very satisfied.
Thinking that Jiang Shang had been in Kunlun for decades, except for Baihe boy, there was no one with a lower status than him.
And Baihe Tong'er is always by his master's side, going in and out of Qingming, so he has no chance to do anything he wants.
He was only superficially close to his fellow seniors, but in reality he was aloof and distant. The only close friend who looked up to him and talked to him about everything was Shen Gongbao.
After coming down from the mountain, only one Song Yiren was kind to him. As for Mrs. Ma, she not only ridiculed him and often got into fights, but she was also not nice to Jiang Shang.
Liu Qiao is a sophisticated person who handles all aspects of his affairs without saying anything. He also speaks very pleasantly, and his flattering skills are so superb that no trace of them can be seen.
It really made Jiang Shang feel like a spring breeze and made his heart warm.
After taking the tea and taking a sip, he saw Liu Qiao waiting aside. After thinking for a moment, he said to him: "Brother Liu, you are still young. You cannot think about collecting firewood for a living all your life. What are your plans for the future?"
"A certain family is alone, has no relatives to rely on, wants to be an official, but lacks martial arts talents. It wants to work to support one's health, but is not proficient in all kinds of skills.
I would like to learn how to open a shop, but I also lack the funds. As for the future, I haven’t thought much about it..."
Liu Qiao said with a wry smile, then he raised his hand and said, "Sir, you are very knowledgeable and good at knowing in advance. Can you give me some advice?"
Jiang Shang listened carefully, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Since you are so sincere, I won't hide it from you, I am not a human being."
Liu Qiao, who had known Jiang Shang's background, saw that he insisted on pretending to be cool so early in the morning, so he pretended not to know and asked: "Sir, he claims to be an extraordinary person and is good at foresight. Could it be that he is a god?"
"Yes, I am a guest from outside this world. Kunlun Mountain's [Zhang Xuan Taoist Dharma Yuxu Yuanshi Tianzun] is my mentor."
Jiang Shang proudly stated his roots, then looked at Liu Qiao solemnly and asked: "I am coming down the mountain this time, and I have the responsibility of being a teacher. I want to promote great things. I see that you are quite good. Are you willing to worship me as your teacher?"
"
Thinking that just saying this would make people work for him, as if that wasn't enough, he tempted him again:
"If it comes to pass, not to mention becoming general and prime minister in the mortal world, you might as well follow me in the heavenly palace in the future, wearing red robes and purple clothes, and a fish bag with jade ribbons..."
Liu Qiao had already expected Jiang Shang to recognize him and accept him as his disciple.
He just didn't expect that this day would come so quickly, so fast that he was caught off guard.
The reason why he had expected it was because he saw the change in Jiang Shang's attitude yesterday and the appreciation in his eyes today.
Being caught off guard is a bit unbelievable. After traveling through thousands of years, I not only met the soldier ancestor who was worshiped by thousands of families in later generations.
And now Bingzu wants to accept him as his disciple, which makes him feel a little unreal.
Before, I had planned to use push-pull tactics just like chasing girls, and stay away from her.
The so-called push-pull tactic is to draw closer relationships through daily empathy, as if talking about everything, and making people become confidants. This is called pulling.
Pushing means pretending to be hesitant and distant when talking about some sensitive topics or about to confirm the relationship, as if you are a gentleman.
Let the other person regard you as a warm baby when you are sad and a happy nut when you are bored.
But even if you don't break the window paper, you can't live without yourself. In the end, you can only let go of your aloofness and crawl under your feet.
As for the sudden cold and hot, Ruo Ji Ruo Li, these tricks, I won’t go into details, but everyone knows about them.
Don't talk much.
Despite the push-pull tactics and careful planning, when things came to this point, young Liu Qiao still couldn't grasp it and couldn't handle it when faced with an opportunity that might become sacred.
If it is a mere woman, let alone push and pull, it is just abandonment and abandonment.
But to become a saint, Jiang Shang personally promised it in front of him.
The great immortals of the three religions look down upon the gods because they have great supernatural powers, are immortal, free and unconstrained, and cannot be restrained.
But Liu Qiao, whose ancestors were mortals for eighteen generations, took a fancy to him.
The catastrophe of conferring gods and killing gods, which others could not avoid, was a great opportunity for Liu Qiao to emit smoke in his ancestral graves. He was always trying to cope with the catastrophe and enlarge his god status.
Imagine always accompanying the Three Emperors, paying respect to the Five Emperors, following God, supporting the stars, eating flat peaches, enjoying fairy apricots, learning about the mysteries of the sun and the moon, and floating unstained by dust and mud.
When moving, the clouds are soaring and the mist is warm; when still, the fairy palace is discussing the Tao.
In the lower dynasty, he travels around the three mountains; in the upper dynasty, he wears a red and purple fish suit, holds Ruyi in his hand, wears a jade fly whisk, receives incense and worship for eternity, grasps the latitude and longitude of the heaven and earth, and transcends the secular world...
Thinking of this, Liu Qiao was so excited that he almost trembled all over. Even if some future generations could experience intrigues in the office and remain calm, it still took him a few breaths to calm down the excitement in his heart.
He immediately pretended to have an indifferent expression when facing the gods and immortals. He just knelt down on the ground unfazed and calmly replied:
"Thank you sir for your advice. I have been admiring your skills for a long time. Since you won't give up, I would like to be my mentor. In the future, I will lead the horse and pedal, serve tea and water, and serve my mentor morning and night..."
His words of admiration for his abilities were also flattered by Liu Qiao, who knew the subsequent plot, without conscience.
Looking at the Fengshen, not to mention his character, but also his fighting ability. Except for Dragon Beard Tiger, who is a hot fighter, Jiang Shang can't beat anyone.
If it weren't for the protection of other immortals, or if he had the treasure passed down by his master, he would be able to be beaten down by any heretical person.
However, Jiang Shang was very useful. What he valued most about Liu Qiao was that he was eloquent, smooth in dealing with things, and thorough in everything he did.
I thought that if I became a god in the future, I could let Liu Qiao do all the dangerous, dirty and troublesome things.
As for whether he can become a god, it depends on his performance and his own mood.
When something goes wrong, Liu Qiao takes the blame, but Jiang Shangzhan benefits from his reputation.
At critical moments, it would be great to be able to push forward to avoid disasters...
Jiang Shang helped Liu Qiao up with a smile on his face and said: "Let's decide on the title first. Don't be too hasty in becoming a teacher. After closing the stall tonight, I will first give my secret blessing to my teacher. If he doesn't have any objections,
Then it was officially entered into the Yuxu Gate Wall."
Of course Liu Qiao didn't know Jiang Shang's dark thoughts, but after getting along with him, he could see clearly that Jiang Shang was someone who couldn't really get into trouble.
However, he was very smart, so how could he show it? Instead, he was very excited, and said with a look of emotion on his face: "Respect the order of my teacher, if my teacher has no other instructions, the disciple will get busy first."
Although Jiang Shang had not taught him anything, he was still a mentor, which made Jiang Shang happy, stroking his beard and nodding with great relief.
Not to mention other things, Liu Qiao's connections gave him the money he earned from soliciting customers every day, and the disciple did not receive it in vain.
He immediately decided to set up an altar to practice the ritual tonight, and Fuluan invited the holy master to open various Dharma books in Yujing and record Liu Qiao's name.
Time passed with Liu Qiao full of expectation. The sun gradually set and twilight gradually approached.
That night,
Thirty miles outside Chaoge City, there is a deserted garden in Songjiazhuang.
I saw thirty-six flags standing on four sides, twenty-eight prayer flags surrounding it, clear water spreading on the ground in the courtyard, incense ashes covering the hall, incense burners curling up, and the room full of strange fragrance.
There is a Dharma altar in the center, on which is enshrined the Great Heavenly Lord of the Yuan Dynasty who is responsible for the teaching of Taoism. On the lower part are a bell of Dharma water, three lotus lamps, a plate of beans, a plate of millet. A sword, Dharma flag, talismans, and gods.
Ruler, neatly.
Liu Qiao took off his headband, put the Taoist man into a high bun, took off his linen clothes, and put on a blue cloth straight cut, pure white long cloud socks, and black shoes with thousand-layer cloth soles.
On the altar, Jiang Shang was dressed in a Taoist robe with wide sleeves and a crown, and he burned several inscriptions.
First, tell Master how good his character is, how high his moral standard is, how much he admires and respects himself and Master, etc.
Then, after a long period of investigation, I determined that he was a rare descendant of the Immortal family because of his deep roots.
Anyway, it’s just a lot of flattery, flattering Master and Liu Qiao.
Of course, I don’t forget to praise myself, how I have a keen eye, how I have done things since I came down from the mountain, how much I miss Master, etc.…
Liu Qiao on the side couldn't help but secretly cursed: "Your dozens of expressions are gorgeous in words and boastful. They are like an old woman's footcloth. They are smelly and long. It's still the same thing whether Grandmaster will read them..."
It was boring to watch, and as expected, I only saw Jiang Shang worshiping at the Dharma altar, but didn't see the slightest response from the master.
Even if there is no sign of sainthood, there are no visions of colorful auspicious clouds or fairy music and jade flutes. Jiang Shang occasionally dances with a sword, mutters for a while, and has epilepsy for a while, which is no different from the old Taoists he saw in his previous life.
After doing this for most of the night, Jiang Shang woke up Liu Qiao, who was dozing off, and said: "Your master has agreed. You have been included in the Yuxu Dharma Book. Go and kowtow three times to your master. From now on, you will be my master."
The virtual door is down."
When Liu Qiao heard this, he immediately lost all sleep. He ran to the altar with great excitement and kowtowed wholeheartedly and sincerely.
When I kowtowed to the ground, I didn't even dare to have any distracting thoughts or any other slanderous thoughts. Who knows if the Patriarch is really here.
After all, in the myths and legends of previous lives, Pangu was one of the vests of the Patriarch Yuanshi Tianzun. He created the heaven and the earth, could save people from countless calamities, and was omniscient and omnipotent.
Although this Yuanshi and that Yuanshi may not be the same, the chance is not high, but I don't dare to be careless. If I have some evil thoughts in my heart, it will not be bad if he finds out, it is better to be cautious.
Then Jiang Shang told him some precepts and rules, told him to clean up the mess, and asked him to live here in the future. Then he took off his robes and went to sleep.
As for the spells and exercises that Liu Qiao was looking forward to, he didn't talk about them at all.
